Chapter 65: Acquaintance but not acquaintance

When Lotosas woke up, it was a day later. ☆→,

He lay in a large room, warm sunlight streaming in through the gaping window. He slowly opened his eyes from the bed, and saw Esfa's case on the table with his harp, his robe washed and dried and stacked beside him, and Esfa's standing in front of the window looking out, he sat up suddenly, and looked at the shoes on the floor in a panic, but fortunately it remained unchanged.

"You're awake. Esfa, with his back to him, said, "You are weak, you seem to have been living without food, don't you have a home?

"Thank you for saving me. "But I have nothing, and I'm afraid I won't be able to repay you in my lifetime." ”

With that, he put on his robe and shoes and walked outside.

"Where are you going?" said Esfa, calmly, "you forgot your piano, I have told you that you are weak, and that if you continue to live your former life, you will be seriously ill. ”

"It's none of your business, you can just live on your own, why bother with others?" Lotosas turned to take the harp, his voice filled with indifference.

"People who push others away for help are usually more in need of help than people who go for help," Esfar chuckled, "They generally know gratitude, and they are independent and kind." ”

"Thank you for your words, it really listens. Lotosas replied, then turned and walked out.

Esfah didn't want to haunt anyone, so he let him go.

From this moment on, he became very curious about the identity of Lotosas. He walked back to the door and saw Lotosas coming out of the door of the inn.

"Hey, young man, don't you bring some food?" he saw that Lotosas was pitiful, so he took a few steamed buns from the table and put them in a cloth bag and waved them at Lotosas.

Lotosas stopped. Seeing that Esfath was smiling at himself upstairs, he wanted to refuse, but thinking that this was exactly what he needed, he nodded.

After Lotosas left, Esfaa suddenly realized that he had been taking care of Lotosas for the day. Na Peizi had already led a hundred soldiers of the Hades Legion to the back of the northern mountains.

After the experience of being searched in the wilderness the day before, he realized that the people who followed these aimless people would never find the slightest clue, and they didn't even know what the secret was.

In contrast, Lotosas seemed to him to be a bit mysterious.

"Father, Mother, I'm sorry for you. The painful murmurs of Lotosas' sleep last night still echoed in his head.

He decided to abandon the aimless wandering Legionnaires and find out who Lotosas was.

In the middle of the night, Lotosas walked north along the rugged mountain road, with Esfah following behind.

"Hey, young man, where are you going? Are you going home to your parents, who live behind the mountains?"

Lotosas turned to look in the faint moonlight. It was Esfah again, and he didn't want to deal with him, so he just buried his head and continued to move forward.

"Young people. "I forgot to tell you that the soldiers who searched us here the day before yesterday have just crossed the mountain, and I think they have now arrived in your hometown." ”

"The Legion of the Underworld?" said Lotosas secretly, "they went there, and I wouldn't be caught in the net if I went again?" ”

So he stopped where he was. Follow the same path back and head down the mountain.

"Why are you back again. As he passed by Esfa, he asked, "Aren't you going to see your parents because of that?"

"I never said there were my parents behind the mountain. I never said I was going to climb the mountain. "I'm just here to relax." ”

"But you, what are you doing here so late?" asked Lotosas.

"Like you, I was just distracted, but I happened to meet you. Esfah said. In the middle of the secluded mountain forest is a narrow mountain path, Esfa's way is in front of Lotosas, the night is very quiet, and the song of a large bird is often heard in the mountain forest, and Esfa's story is made by this bird's call.

"Listen. What is it called?" he said, pretending to be panicked, "in the middle of summer like this, some demons and beasts will inevitably appear in the mountains, I heard that in the first era ten thousand years ago, these guys once dominated the world, and they would swallow the human beings whole, and you are not afraid of being eaten by them when you come here alone at night like this?"

"I never knew anything like that. "But you're still here if you know it?"

"I'm not afraid, they're no match for me. "Even when I was a kid, I was never afraid of them. ”

At this point, Esphase thought of his childhood, and he felt that Lotosas was like a man who could listen to his story, so he told him about it that he had never told anyone before, hoping to get to know his heart.

"I was born in Adona, the capital of the arts, my mother was an Archangel and a violinist, and my father was a man who was passionate about nature music, and I was nurtured by them from birth, dreaming of becoming a famous composer, and one day I could play a piece of my own music in the Holy Land of Ronald Music Thousand Gates in Archangel Square, telling the joys and sorrows of the world, and infecting everyone present. Esfa.

"At that time, my mother was ill, the doctors could not cure her, her health was deteriorating, and there was nothing more crazy than my father's love for my mother, and when my mother was seriously ill, he guarded her every day and every night, and took care of her without sleep or food, and did not close his eyes for almost ten days. ”

"There was a **** who read a medical book by himself and found that there was a herb that might be able to cure my mother's illness, so he asked me to take care of my mother and go to the Vanga Mountain near Adona to find it. My father had a habit of always carrying the piano case when he went out, no matter where he went, he always carried it, and of course he did not forget it when he was looking for medicine. ”

"My father had been there for many days, and on the evening of the third day, he finally came back exhausted, his face was cut by the branches, and he held in his hand the plant that he regarded as a rare treasure, but the case behind him and the guqin that had been passed down from generation to generation were long gone. ”

"When his mother asked him where your harp was, he always said, 'Lost it on the mountain, where the spirits and wild beasts are so great that they chew it up.' Then he touched my head and said, 'I'm so sorry.' Father has nothing left for you. ’”

But I was reluctant, I could see from my father's expression that he seemed to be lying, so I **** went up the mountain to find it, and every dusk, when the sun shone on a small wooden house on the top of the mountain that was always closed, the short shadow would run there as scheduled. Although I returned with nothing every time, I didn't give up at all, because I went up the mountain not only for the guqin that my father lost, but also to get the so-called elixir that could cure all kinds of diseases heard from the woodcutters who traveled back and forth in the mountains. When my father worked hard to find the medicine for my mother and my mother took it but it didn't work, I wanted to find some legendary spiritual herbs in the mountains more and more, hoping that giving them to my mother would make her better in an instant. ”

"One evening, when I ran up to the top of the hill again, I came to the brown hut with the door always closed. The door of the house was opened at some point, and I boldly walked in, and the room was empty, except for a shabby table in the middle, and on top of it was my father's discarded guqin and case. ”

"'This is something my father threw away, why is it here?' I thought to myself, but didn't think about it. So he took it back, and his father was not there. I proudly placed it beside my mother, determined to go up the mountain the next day to find my father's case. But when I came back from the mountain the next day, my mother had already left me, and my father had stabbed himself to death by my mother's side because of his great love for her. ”

"Why is this so?" said Lotosas, attracted by Esfa's words, and said pityingly, "you are so small. I have already lost my parents. ”

Esfah raised his head, feeling the silence of the night, he let out a long sigh and said, "When my mother left, I didn't even see her and say a word to her. Now think about it, my father was right to put the piano in the house on the top of the mountain, when there are two things in front of your eyes and you want to make a choice, you must decisively choose one, everything in the world, there is gain and loss, and if you want to get it all, it will only lead to greater loss, ** is the source of sin, and I am guilty of this sin, because I am obsessed with finding the piano and forget my mother's illness, forget to be by her side, so that we cannot see this last face. ”

"What's the use of seeing it? Seeing it will be more painful, I'd rather not see it. Lotosas suddenly changed his previous tone and said excitedly, "This is true of both father and mother. In this unconscious statement, Lotosas had come to regard Esfas as a friend.

That night, the two had a good conversation, and they came to the bottom of the mountain and stayed in an inn.

But they all still hide their identities. When it comes to their respective names, Lotosas says that he has no name, that his parents died at birth, and that he was raised by a luthier who had learned all these skills from him, and that when the luthier died, he wandered around. Esfa, on the other hand, lied that his name was Cullee.

Lotosas believed Esfah without question, but in Esfa's opinion, the young man must still be hiding something from him.

The next morning, when Esfar woke up, Lotosas had already gotten up. On this day, he still had no expression, maybe the pain was too deep, the time was too long, he couldn't change it, but this time he miraculously took the initiative to borrow money from Esfa.

"The food here is not very tasty, I want to go out and buy some good ones. ”

Seeing that he was sincere, Esfa, of course, gave him the money. When Lotosas left, to prove that he would return, he placed his beloved harp on the table.

Esfah waited in the room, and in order to eat what Lotosas had bought, the food that the shopkeeper had brought back Esfah withdrew one by one.

He stood in front of the door and window, imagining what Lotosas should be. But he could never have imagined that a man like him could be involved in the secrets of heaven, for he had no special power other than to play wonderful melodies, and if he fought, even the most ordinary people could subdue him, and if he carried this secret on his shoulders, he would surely die if it was known, and the secret would undoubtedly be taken away by the bad guys.

As Esfar was thinking, Lotosas had walked in from outside. He walked slowly, carefully serving two steaming bowls of porridge.

"Cullee. He said, "This is my favorite red date and mung bean porridge when I was a child, it is delicious and good for the body, and you must taste it today." With that, he placed the two bowls of porridge on the table beside the bed, took out the coins from his coat pocket, and handed them to Esfa.

"Okay. Esfah got up and smiled, he glanced at the porridge in the bowl, "Doesn't it seem delicious, come, you can sit here and enjoy this delicious food together." ”

"No," Rotosas refused, "I have already eaten it when I bought it, and these were brought to you especially for you, otherwise I would not have been able to carry that much in my two hands, and I will know if you count your money." ”

"Okay. Esfah smiled and began to eat the porridge.

Lotosas stared at him, and thought to himself, "I'm sorry, friend, no matter what, I can't let you go with me, I'll be a burden to you, and you'll make me inconvenient." ”

After eating the bowl, Esfa's vision blurred for a while, and then he collapsed on the bed unconscious.

Lotosas took the opportunity to pick up his harp, walked briskly out of the inn, and disappeared into the street without a trace.

At this moment, Xie Huite appeared on the street with the two angels of the law, Seran and Menliuer, who had seen Esfa's plain-clothed soldiers on the street corner the day before, pointed to the front of the inn and said, "That's right, this is it, my subordinates have seen Esfa's walk in here, and he can't escape the ......" (to be continued). )
