Chapter Twenty-Seven: Parting
The banquet lasted for a long time. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
In the end everyone got drunk, and Ignaz was the most drunk, and fell into a fat sleep on the campfire, so that he woke up the next day with a fever and half burned. Hatton and Goliath were still cheekily bringing out more wine from the cellar, in fact, there were few people drinking, the drunken elves were brought home by Kirsir and others one by one, the dwarves were more able to drink, although they were drunk, they still barely found the door, as for whether it was their own bed at home, whether it was their own wife and children on the bed, I don't know.
The juice of the banquet was very tasty, but there was still a trace of alcohol, and after Arwin drank a large glass of juice, his face flushed, and Sido later went to nibble on his elbow that he had not finished.
The night is very good, but there are not many people who appreciate it.
Alwyn was lying at the table, his eyes were on Sido, the big boy had been eating, Alwyn was a little sleepy, and couldn't help poking his arm.
"Sido, let's go look at the stars. ”
"Star?" Sido naturally couldn't understand, swallowed the meat in his mouth, and said, "What's so nice about that." ”
"......" Alvin was speechless, not knowing how to answer.
Sido kindly handed her a sauce elbow, and the girl ignored him.
The helpless boy could only wipe his hands, reluctantly put down the sauce elbow on his mouth, and took Arvin's hand: "Then go out for a walk." ”
Alvin's little face suddenly turned cloudy.
The Frost Valley is not large, it is sandwiched between the gaps, and the sky is also obscured by the mountains, and when viewed from the bottom of the valley, the sky seems to be split into a long Milky Way, with an end in the south, and a subtle white light can be seen towards the north.
It was already late autumn, and the valley was still very warm, and there were still green grass and green leaves in some sunny places, which was extremely rare in the frozen tundra and in the northern part of the Far Eastern Empire. Sido found a clean stake and wiped the dust from it with his sleeve before beckoning Arwyn to sit down.
Because the stake wasn't very big, Sido sat on the ground next to her, the sauce still on his elbow, and Arwyn smiled and handed over the handkerchief.
Sido looked at the handkerchief that was as white as new, and was a little reluctant to use it, so he returned her to Arwin, wiped the corners of his mouth with his sleeve, and said, "Such a clean handkerchief, you can't let me get dirty." ”
Alwyn looked at the big boy, she wanted to laugh but didn't dare to laugh, she folded the handkerchief and put it in her pocket, and looked up at the starry sky, the weather was exceptionally clear, the air in the Frost Valley was clean, and the sky with perennial snowfall could hardly see dust, and she could clearly see the stars in the sky.
Shining and a lot of stars, like countless fine glowstones in the night, scattered in the boundless sky, the girl looked at it enviously, and said softly: "Does Sido know? When the elves die, stars will fall from the sky!"
Sido didn't understand and said, "It's because there happened to be a meteor shower." ”
This boy is really stupid, Alwyn said with some anger and amusement: "No, because the star map belongs to the elves, the elf goddess Leah created the star map, all the elves will be associated with the star map, when the elves die, the stars associated with them will lose their luster and fall into the dark abyss." ”
Sido couldn't help but say, "Since Arwin is an elven princess, she must have her own stars." ”
Alwyn smiled, "Does Sido want to know?"
Sido said: "Do you still need to ask, I want to know that these words are going to be written on my face, you see, there are also on my forehead." ”
Alwyn smiled and touched the boy's forehead, the action was a little intimate, both of them were a little embarrassed, Alwyn's cheeks were hot, and he quickly retracted his hand.
She was silent for a while, then raised her head again and pointed to a star in the sky: "Near the North Star, there is a not very bright star, can Sido see it?"
"See, is it Alvin's star?"
"It's not a star, my father said, it's a nebula that belongs to Arvin, it's too far away to see, huh...... Nebulae are stars made up of many stars, which are part of the world. Alwyn said softly, "Will Sido think of Alwyn when he sees it in the future?"
"Of course, I'll always remember Alvin. ”
Alwyn lowered his head and looked at the boy, his eyes were so serious, sincere and simple, without a trace of the contamination of the world, this boy is like this, usually giggling, but he has the same fascinating eyes as Amon, Alwyn looked at his pupils carefully, the light was shining in Sido's black pupils, as dazzling as stars, she couldn't help but whisper: "Sido, Alwyn is leaving." ”
Sido looked at her for a long time, but did not speak.
The night was so dark, the big boy who had never experienced the pain of parting couldn't think of what to say, he narrowed his eyes habitually, and said with a smile: "Alwyn can find his own people, I'm very happy, really...... No matter where you go, I will bless you and wish you peace and health, and a worry-free life. ”
"Sido ......"
"During this time with Alvin, I was really happy, but Alwyn suffered a lot with us, so I shouldn't be willing to look back on it in the future......"
"No, no, Alwyn won't forget Sido!" the elf grabbed his hand helplessly, "Alwyn will always remember Sido, it's just ...... Arwyn has something to do, and when Arwin completes his mission, he will definitely come back to Sido. ”
"Uh-huh. ”
Sido stared at the girl, the corners of his mouth still had the usual smile, from the first time he saw this girl, he was attracted by the girl's magnificent eyes, how could there be a girl with such good-looking eyes, as if hiding hundreds of millions of stars, Sido couldn't help but stretch out his hand, carefully brushing up the hair that covered her eyes: "Alvin's hair, it's really long, although he has been saying that he wants to cut your hair, it seems to be ...... There's no more of a chance. ”
"I, I'm going to get the scissors......"
"Alvin. The boy grabbed her and tried to make himself laugh: "It's okay, you also said that we will meet again...... Next time, let's meet next time. ”
The girl's little hands wrung her clothes, and her teeth bit her lower lip.
Sido grabbed Arvin's hand, and there was a soft touch from his little hand that was as warm as jade, and he stretched out his little finger and hooked it with the girl's little thumb, and said: "In our human world, the hook is also a kind of agreement, and the person who breaks the contract must swallow a thousand needles, and he is not allowed to eat for three days and three nights. ”
As if he wasn't tall enough or strong enough, the big boy didn't know that there were so many existences in this world, he just wanted to remember the girl in front of him.
The elf girl looked at him, the two of them looked at each other, the stars in the sky suddenly lit up for some reason, the bright earth, many stars and children of the world, **** can not taste the age one by one, I don't know if I can really remember each other after many years.
Arwyn took a pendant from his neck and handed it to Sido.
It was a bright emerald, small, strung together by a string, and seemed to be something close to the girl.
"Think of it as a gift from Alwyn to Sido, in case Sido changes his appearance in the future, and when he sees this pendant, Alvin will still recognize Sido in the crowd. The girl whispered, "Keep it safe, Sido." ”
"Well, I'll always take it. Sido carefully placed the pendant in his arms, patted his chest, and smiled gently.
The girl didn't laugh, she looked straight at Sido: "Sido is really good or bad! I don't want to laugh at all, but I still force myself, I can't do this...... You can't force yourself all the time, even if it's a boy!"
Tears fell to the ground silently, and the girl who was standing quietly at that time was already in tears at this moment.
Sido wiped her tears in a panic.
"Alwyn, don't cry, don't cry......! Am I doing something wrong?, and if so...... I apologize, I apologize...... "A girl's tears are really a powerful weapon, they can instantly break a boy's heart, Sido was panicked and didn't know what to do, he could only wipe the tears from the girl's cheeks, carefully hugged her into his arms, and said comforting words.
The night was long, so long that the girl was tired of crying, and curled up in the boy's arms and fell asleep like a kitten.
As if he had found her for the first time in the wilderness, Sido quietly guarded her and comforted her...... Tiredness hit, and the boy leaned back against the stake and gradually closed his eyes.
When Sido woke up the next day, Alwyn was gone.
On the empty grass, there was a white paper with a smiling face on it, and the girl must have wanted to hear him say goodbye when she left, but she was afraid of waking him up, so she secretly drew a picture with paper.
Sido picked up the paper on the ground that was pressed by the stones, and there was the word "Girl Xiujuan" on it.
"I'm leaving, don't miss me too much!"
He looked at the girl's drawing, and couldn't help but think of her cheerful smile, of the shallow dimples on the side of her mouth, and felt the long parting this time.
I want to laugh, but I can't.
