Chapter 14: The Kiss
At night, the wind trees cast phantoms and writhed in the wind in the moonlight, and even the crows resting in the treetops were startled from time to time, and they fluttered their black wings and flew up with their ugly cries to spread their fright. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 A black feather landed on Hatina's shoulder, and she didn't notice it as she walked cautiously.
Suddenly, she saw a milky white light through a gap in a row of trees. Was it the light of the energy lamp? She mustered up the courage to walk through the forest at a speed she had never imagined before, and she didn't even dare to catch her breath until she saw the energy lamp in front of her.
Under the guidance of the energy lamp, she walked into a town, a small town that was just ordinary. It's just that the town seems to have been quiet too soon, she thought to herself. But why isn't this kind of quiet environment after her?
Walking on the street, although there was no one to be found here, the street lamps were diligently waiting on both sides of the road, which relieved her tense nerves.
She didn't know what was going on in her head, or maybe it wasn't working at all, but she enjoyed the tranquility of the moment, so she kept walking down the street.
I don't know how far I walked, but a gust of wind blew, and it was the smell of the sea breeze, and she could smell it. As she walked on, her eyes filled with firelight, and her ears rang with noises she didn't want to hear. But she couldn't restrain her feet and kept going in that direction.
These people gathered around the shore in droves, as if they were holding some kind of festival or something, and the excitement of the crowd seemed to be more lively than the torches around them. No one noticed her arrival.
What were they looking at?, she wondered. This time she boldly stepped forward, it was not difficult, there was room for her to go up and join in the fun.
With the help of the moonlight tonight, she saw the raging waves in the distance, and the schools of fish that were still visible in the waves, and the seafolk who were fighting against the sea among the fish.
For the first time, she had seen the ocean as fierce as it was today, and every wave it set off seemed to swallow life, and the waves brought with them the sparkling ruby fish, which were so dense that they could be seen even from a distance on the shore. And the men who are churning in the waves, fighting wave after wave, have to catch the nimble fish with their bare hands, and then swim thousands of miles to the shore to hand the fish to the people on the shore, and then throw them into the sea again.
Seeing those sea people fighting and resisting in the merciless and violent waters, and then trying to catch those fish like a tiger's mouth, she couldn't help but pinch a cold sweat for them on the shore. But no matter how dangerous it looked, the people on the shore were unmoved, she knew that this was their ritual, and it was a testament to the courage of those brave men in the sea, and even if they failed, they would not allow anyone to help under mercy.
Hatina looked at the scene in front of her, her heart was like the waves of the ocean tonight, she deeply felt the tenacious vitality of these sea people, they did not have the extraordinary bodies of those warriors with war spirits, and their amazing life potential in order to survive was amazing, she was infected by the charm of these ordinary and most unusual civilians.
Is this the people I am going to protect? She thought deeply in her heart, and an unprecedented emotion erupted in her heart, and all of a sudden the meaningless-sounding duties and responsibilities suddenly came to her mind with a new look.
It's time to wake up, she said to herself. At this time, she couldn't help but feel ashamed of her childish behavior of sneaking.
Closing her eyes, she made a vow in the shortest possible time that she would take the longest time to complete. Then she turned and very quickly pressed her lips on the mouth of a young man beside her. A short and quick kiss, not for anything else, but because she remembered a saying in the family: swear by a kiss, yesterday's selfish man has died today.
Without a moment's delay, she turned and walked away quickly, for the road ahead of her was long, long, and she had to get on it at once.
The Rin Wind Department landed in prison
Knorr sat in the flickering light, his eyes fixed on the ceiling, as if it was about to collapse in an instant, just like his spiritual world.
"You don't look very energetic, Knor. A malicious voice came from the empty hallway outside the cell.
Noll raised his head slightly, and glanced at the figure walking slowly, it was old Weiss, in fact, you can know this by listening to the voice. He just looked up to see how ugly that face could be after the plot succeeded, and he had to keep in mind that he would be able to knock it out as soon as he saw it again in the next life.
"I think you've seen the disgusting side of the tribe. Old Weiss chuckled.
"Of course. Knoll replied staring at his face.
The cheeky old ferret still laughed happily, waved his hand and said, "Except for me." He paused, "Take your patriarch grandfather, for example." ”
"You deliberately didn't tell me the veins in the heart of the tree, did you?" If Noel couldn't see that everything was arranged by the person in front of him, he really deserved to die. "Why did you lie to me, why did you frame me? Aren't we friends?"
"Of course we're friends, am I the one who framed you?" the old ferret stroked his hand, "It should be that old bastard of Quincy, have you forgotten his face above the trial? He had acquiesced to Knorr's initial questioning.
Now he was no longer annoyed by the other party's disrespectful remarks, he just said lightly: "But if you hadn't deliberately concealed the settings in the heart of the tree, I would have worn the Blue Devil Forbidden Chain a long time ago." ”
"Yes, you'll regret it after that. ”
"Why? Of course I won't!"
"There's no point in arguing, so let's get down to business. Vis crouched down and said to him in the more intimate manner of the past, "Now you have seen the dirty side of this tribe, not only Quincy, but also those who stood by and watched, and the people who were full of hatred and no mercy at today's trial, these are your cherished compatriots in the past. ”
After being betrayed at the top of the tower, Knorr thought that he would never be angry again, but at this time he still couldn't help but shout, "Aren't these thanks to you?!"
Vis made a silencing gesture: "Shhhh He said, "You know very well in your heart that all I have given you is a chance to see them, don't you? ”
Knoll widened, but didn't retort.
"Very well, continue the topic as we left off. "Look, my brain, alas, I'm getting old after all." Yes, yes, yes! I'm going to say, at this point, you probably won't want to be a hero to these disgusting guys anymore, right?"
He glanced at Noel, who was silent, and then said, "Then come with me, as long as you nod, I can take you away now." ”
"Do you think I'll ever trust you again? I'd rather die in disgrace on the gallows. Put away your kindness and get out of here!"
Vess laughed: "I didn't expect you to say yes right away, think about it." Follow me and you're not just going to live, you should be able to feel it. ”
When Noll looked up again, he was gone. He didn't understand why the old guy had gone to such lengths to let him go with him, but no matter why, he was definitely uneasy. Regardless of whether the original dream has changed under the distortion of reality, he still wants to complete this dream with his own hands, which may not collapse in his spiritual world......
Note: The Night of the Sea is a tradition left by the ancestors, and most of the sea people near the Longxin Sea have passed it down. Legend has it that in the last era, that is, the age of the gods, the sea god was not as merciful as it is now, of course, some people say that the current sea god has fallen, in short, at that time, the sea people could get very little in the sea, and the taste of life was as bitter as the sea at that time. Later, the warrior Les Lydseus threw himself into the sea to find the god of the sea, hoping to seek the god of the sea's gift to the people of the sea. After swimming for a few days and nights, he still did not find the location of the god of the sea, so he sank into the sea, but fortunately he was rescued by the second son of the god of the sea, Ois, and with the help of Odis, he met the god of the sea. After he completed a difficult task for the sea god, the sea god was moved by his persistence. That night, the god cut his arm, and the blood he shed turned into countless blood crystal fish, and then the sea god pushed a huge wave to send these blood crystal fish to the sea. That night, the seafolk returned with a full load, and at sunrise the next day, the sea drifted back to Les, who had died of exhaustion. Later, every year on this night, the waves would bring in the Blood Crystal Fish, and in honor of Les, those who were qualified would go into the sea to fish alone like a deceased hero on this night, and no matter how many Blood Crystal Fish there were, they would only catch a maximum of twenty-one each, because Les was only twenty-one years old when he died.
