Lost Echoes (10)
But a feeling of dizziness hit me at this critical juncture. Writing, Fun, Pavilion www.biquge.info suddenly darkened in front of my eyes, and my whole body immediately lost balance.
Unguardedly, a voice that you have heard and will never forget in this life hit me in the body. The sound was similar to the "plopping" sound of a pebble falling into a pond, except that the pond was replaced by your flesh and blood, and the pebbles were wrapped in long steel nails. I was so startled by the sound that by the time all my senses regained my senses, the man had fallen to the ground on a high platform.
There was a pain on his body that looked like he was cutting flesh, but Helphant was scolding and scolding. When I heard him come up to me, he raised his head like a dog, but as far as I could see, it was only his knees, and the man had no intention of crouching down to look at me, he kicked me twice, and then "poofed......
I closed my eyes in pain, but my ears fell silent. For a moment, it was frighteningly quiet, and I could not hear either Helvent's scolding or the mole's movements, as if the whole world had left me. By the time I could hear and see again, the man had been put into a sack and carried on his shoulders.
"Is this going to die?" I thought to myself.
The mole cubs had privately talked about the whereabouts of the sacks, including that there was a furnace in the underground fortress and that all the children who had been put in the sacks had turned to ashes, that there was a channel under the earth that led to the sea, and that all the unfortunate mole cubs had been swept away by the sea, and that the dead children were all sent to the kitchen and tossed and manipulated into meat ...... But I'm not dead yet!
The guy carrying the sack obviously didn't treat me like a living person, he seemed to only pinch the mouth of the sack and let me sink to the bottom of the bag. My knees pressed against my stomach, and as soon as the bag shook, I let out a sigh of relief. Gradually, I felt tired again, but I knew very well in my heart that I might not be able to wake up from this sleep. Am I going to die like this? I can suffer a little less...... Crime?
Outside the bag, the guy who carried me was still walking, and I listened to the sound of the heel of my shoe hitting the ground, but my heart felt more and more unwilling.
I think the other mole cubs are probably whispering about what happened to me, and they're gloating a little, not only because it wasn't them, but because it was a different elf from them, a knife ear, just like my father and mother. After they died, no one cared about the cause of death, and everyone just asked me if I had become an orphan, just to make sure that the child in front of me was an orphan.
It's just me, only I remember that my father was gone, and someone bullied orphans and widows that night! I am the only one who can get justice for my parents, so that those guys who laugh happily can't fulfill their wishes, as long as I live!
I began to struggle, and even though I couldn't make a sound in pain, and knowing that it might not help, I clutched the bag and tried to free myself. This seemed to annoy the guy who was carrying me, and his grip on the mouth of the bag tightened more and more, and as soon as the man picked up the sack and slammed it against the wall or the ground a few times, my efforts would be in vain, but he suddenly paused, and even his breath was suddenly lowered.
I unconsciously settled down, and through the rough fabric, I heard another person coming from a distance. After another moment, the man's footsteps stopped very closely, and the guy who carried me said in an urn voice, "Big boss." ”
Hearing this familiar name, I was stunned at first, and then I remembered that when I was first sent by Pei Duo, the shopkeeper had mentioned such a person. At that time, he used this title twice to keep Petor out. In other words, the guy who has a lot of weight in the guild is right in front of him?
As I thought so, the two men outside the bag started talking.
"The little thing inside seems to be alive. The man known as the Big Boss asked.
"This little devil fell from the high platform, and everyone was nailed through it, and I think he is quite guilty of living. ”
The guy who carried me replied in a low voice, he spoke very slowly, as if every word had been considered, and as soon as he finished speaking, the big boss sneered twice.
"Helfentry has always said that the little cubs in his hands are not to be cultivated, I think this man has been a little too much lately, what do you think?"
He ...... It's still the same. ”
"No need to pretend, I know what you think of him in private, open the bag and let me see. ”
Soon, I was placed on the ground. Someone untied the knot at the mouth of the bag, then reached in and pulled the hair behind my ear. I glanced feebly at the man, and saw that he was dressed in a robe with animal prints, as if he had caught a glimpse of him on the training ground.
"It's a pretty elf cub, it's quite rare. The big boss said.
He took me by the armpits and pulled me out of the sack. I was wounded, and I couldn't help but frown and close my eyes. He shifted his position and sat me on his forearm, while his other hand went around my back and touched the nail.
"Do you know what this little ghost is called?"
They all called him Knife Ear. ”
"Knife ears?" the big boss sneered again, and he removed the hand that touched the steel nail, and continued, "That's not a name, it's just a contempt for elves. Names should not only have a literal meaning, but also have a deeper meaning and even dominance, just like some people's names, you know it well in your heart, but you only dare to use pronouns, am I right?"
These words seemed to knock down another person, and he squeaked twice, but he didn't spit out half a word. The big boss didn't say anything more, he walked around the man and led me to another place.
Along the way, I kept my mouth closed because of pain and fatigue, but I couldn't help but think of my own name, Eko Pelerius. My mother used to say that this surname was a good one, because Pelerius means North Star, and the sky is full of stars, and only the North Star always hangs in one place, which can guide people in the direction. Therefore, the North Star also symbolizes a constant stance and unchanging loyalty. As for the name Eko, I knew it meant echo, but why didn't I ask my parents what it meant? Now, they don't let me use my own name......
The boss finally took me to a warm room, lit by a wall lamp made of horns, and the bathtub in the corner of the room was steaming. I was put on a bench, and he sat down next to him, then looked at me and asked, "Can you bear the pain?" I'm going to pull out the stuff behind your back for you. ”
I looked sideways at him, unable to speak or know what to say. He took a towel for me to bite on, told me to lie on his lap, and then moved the steel nail.
