"Do you believe in fate?"
When I was very young, I was asked this question. At that time, I was not very old, and I was not very sensible, but I learned from those poets and scholars, and I said it very handsomely.
"I don't believe it. β
However, it turns out that there are some things that you don't believe really can't do.
Since I was a child, my fate has been very rough and full of ruggedness.
I can't see with my eyes, and now, I don't remember if I was born like this or if it was acquired, anyway, I haven't seen anything in a long time.
Anna, my sister, has more serious problems than I do. She has no ability to think for herself, she has grown up to such a big age, and she is still like a newborn child, only relying on her own instinct to do things, to put it bluntly, it is the mental retardation that people talk about, not in the sense of scolding, but in the real sense.
We are two sisters and have no parents, so at a very young age, we live a wandering life.
In such a dangerous world, even a strong adult cannot guarantee that he will survive safely.
Eventually, our sisters made it to the city of Ryujin in Balowa. It is true that it may be more difficult to survive in the city than in the wilderness, but at least, there are walls as shelter, so that you will not be attacked by those strange beasts outside, and at night, you will not always be scared, and you can finally sleep well with Anna in your arms.
And......
I heard that Balova is a country that believes in elemental gods very much, and I wondered if I could come here, would I be adopted by some good people......
Now that I think about it, I was still too innocent at that time.
Human beings are very ugly creatures, even if they live under the gaze of God, they also have people who indulge their desires.
"Little sister, are you hungry?"
It was a very cold night, and I was sleeping in a corner with Anna as usual, when suddenly an aunt who looked to be fifty or sixty years old came to us.
β...... Hungry. β
I didn't lie, and I didn't have to, because I was too young to think about the pitfalls that existed here.
Now that I think about it, if I had been stubborn at that time and shook my head in denial, maybe, there would have been no future, of course, I would have starved to death on the street after that.
Auntie looks very kind, without any bad feelings, I can't see it, but judging from the tone of her voice, she should be a very easy person to get along with.
For so long, we have met people who have thrown stones at us, and it is rare to meet such a person, and my vigilance against him has suddenly dissipated a lot.
"If you're hungry, do you want to go back with me? β
She said.
β...... Want. β
I nodded and promised her, there was no choice, it didn't matter if I was hungry, but Anna was still young, and if she continued to be hungry, her body would not be able to hold on.
It is true that there are a lot of delicious foods in her "home", but in the world, there is no free food, and I have to pay the same amount of labor as much as I eat, and this so-called home......
It has also become a nightmare that I will never get rid of in my life.
Every day, people would come to visit, and over time, I got used to this kind of life, like a puppet, putting on a trademark smile and doing something disgusting.
Strange to say, the adaptability of human beings is really amazing, and at first I was disgusted, but later on, I instinctively began to rely on it. With money, we can support ourselves and Anna, and it is already a very good place to live for our sisters who are helpless.
Living, even if it's a very undignified life, is it better than dying, isn't it?
"Guest, welcome next time. β
I stood in the doorway, numbly saying the polite words that had been prepared for a long time.
That's enough, protect Anna and don't let her do the same, it doesn't matter what I'll become.
"Well, that's it for today. β
The annoying man still looks high, annoying and disgusting, but I have to smile and say goodbye to him.
"Master Orix, you go slowly. β
"Take it. β
He put his hand in his pocket, and very casually pulled out a few gold coins and put them in the palm of my hand.
"This should be regarded as a tip, don't show it to the old woman, my woman, go out for a drink and ask someone to invite you, like what?"
β...... No. β
I shook my head and put the gold coin back in my hand again.
"Master Orlis, please take these back. β
"Why? If I'm not mistaken, you have a sister at home, and you don't think about her feelings when you live in a place like this?"
He looked up and looked at the room behind me.
It's very broken, very messy, just a shelter barely piled up by a pile of broken stones, just now, he has been complaining for a long time, and has been saying that he must renovate next time.
"No, take as much as you want, I don't want to be in your eyes, I'm a girl who only knows money. β
I, so I said.
Of course, this must be just an excuse, and if he dislikes me, it would be a good thing. The reason for this is just to keep a distance from the other side, and to take a penny more from him, the distance between us will be one step closer, and in this way, maybe one day, I will really become his thing.
"Hahaha, yes, sure enough, I didn't see the wrong person, you are completely different from those bewitching sluts. β
He laughed, took the money back, turned in a gesture he thought was handsome, and left with his two guards.
"I'll come back again. β
"We look forward to seeing you there. β
It was disgusting, but I said something like that.
It's over, it's another day like this, to be honest, I'm a little tired, after a few years, I've scraped together enough money, let's redeem myself, find a remote place, and ...... with Anna
and Anna......
Odd......
What about Anna?
"Anna. β
In the past, after waiting for people to leave, Anna would always come out of nowhere and stick to me, but I didn't see her today.
"Uh......h Sister...... Sister ......"
Around the corner, her soft voice came out, and really, just listening to it was comforting.
"Really...... Where are you going......"
With a slightly complaining tone, I wanted to go over and pick Anna back, but my steps were frozen.
I'm blind, but I'm not stupid, and next to her, there's obviously another person.
It's a little familiar, as if I've seen it somewhere......
"You...... You are ......"
