Chapter 6: Matters of the Heart 1
The two walked unconsciously, and unexpectedly walked to the place where the two met for the first time.
Enya suddenly stopped, turned to look at the Heavenly Evil Dao, "Did they do something too much for you?"
"If you do too much to me, I don't care. However, they said disrespectful things about my parents. No matter who it is, even if it is death, I will make him pay an unforgettable price. Heavenly Evil gritted his teeth and said.
"May I take the liberty of asking you a few things?"
"Hmm. ”
"With your strength, you should be a spirit of level six or higher. In the afternoon, if I really killed you with a sword, would you resist?"
"No, it won't. ”
"Will you kill them?" asked Enya cautiously.
"I don't know. Heavenly Evil was silent for a long time before he spoke.
"I don't know what to tell you, so let's talk about something else. Enya looked at the Heavenly Evil Dao: "The war between the three countries has been going on for a hundred years. As a result of the war, taxes became heavier and heavier. Although the war has slowed down for most of the time in recent years, who knows if it will be a bigger war that is being planned? When I was 10 years old, most of the supplies in the ministry were forcibly requisitioned by the army. It happened to be a heavy snowfall that year, and the mountains were covered by heavy snow. A month after the closure of the mountain, supplies became dire. My grandfather was the previous minister, and in order to keep the tribe going, he collected the food from the tribe. Then a meeting of the whole clan was held. ”
"Because there was really little food, we basically only ate one meal every two days, and some people only ate one meal every three or four days. I was so hungry that I slept on my grandfather's kang. When I woke up, in the haze, I found that the middle-aged and older people in the entire department were all solemn in the hall and the compound. ”
Neither of them spoke, and that's when my grandfather said, walking out with a cane propped up on his left foot. When he was forty years old, in order to save a man during a hunt, his left foot was crippled by a spirit animal. He told everyone in the ministry that there was not enough food to survive the winter. If you only want to live on that little food, or hope that God will stop the snow, then the fate that awaits the entire tribe is doom. Instead of starving to death, it is better to leave food for the children to survive this winter so that our tribe can continue. In this regard, everyone who has an opinion can say and discuss. ”
"None of them spoke, because as a rule of thumb, it would take at least three and a half months for the snow to melt about the same. Seeing that everyone acquiesced, my grandfather said that from tomorrow, all the middle-aged and older people in the ministry will join the hunting team and start hunting. Let's go and get ready tonight. ”
"That night, my grandfather hugged me and the rest of the family around the fire and talked all night. I was in my grandfather's arms, and I could hear his stomach growling all the time. But until dawn, he didn't eat a single bite of food. I watched him walk out of the hall with his crutches, out of the courtyard, and lead his people into the Great Snow Mountain. ”
Since then, the youth and children of the clan have eaten a big pot of rice. I asked my father, "Grandpa, where are they going?" My father pulled his face and forced a smile and said, "Grandpa, they're going to find something to eat for us." At that time, many children like me laughed and jumped with joy when they heard that they were looking for something to eat. ”
"Later, I realized that when my grandfather asked everyone to prepare, he was actually going to have a final reunion with his family. Just when there was only one sack of rice left in the whole department, the hunting party returned, bringing with them a few prey. As everyone grinned and drank the broth, I saw that the returning hunting party was only four floors of the number of departures. ”
"When heavy snow closes the mountain, many ravines are filled with collapsed snow. Most of them fell into snow pits and died during the exploration process, and some were mauled to death by wild beasts. The hunting party set off again after a day of repairs, thankfully with very few casualties due to the signposting earlier. ”
"Twenty days after the hunting party went out, the food was running out again. At that time, it changed from one meal a day to one meal every three days. When my brother and I cried and cried out that we were hungry, my mother would always bring us a little jerky. He told us not to tell our fathers. Until one of the people left behind, a mother who was a mother, she starved to death. She and a few others, like my mother, gave their share of food to the children. When my father found my mother, she was dying. After a few days of starvation, she lost the ability to digest food. ”
Enya thought back to the pain of the past, and tears were already in her face unconsciously. She choked up and pleaded with the heavenly evil: "I thank them, thank them for their senseless sacrifice in exchange for our lives. I vow that when I grow up, I will be like them and contribute to the tribe. Since then, I've been working on myself every day. I hope to one day be able to protect my people, my family. So, if I watch my people die in front of my eyes again, and I haven't stopped it, I'm going to be in agony for the rest of my life. They said a lot of things, but they didn't deserve to die, did they?"
"If you're going to kill them, then kill me first. That way, I won't feel guilty about living my life. Enya gritted her teeth and said.
After hearing Enya's past, the heavenly evil unconsciously lost his anger. He didn't want to see Enya's pained expression, so he turned around and said, "If they are willing to repent, I won't pursue it." ”
"Thank you. Enya said sincerely.
"Why do you look like that when you face death? If you don't mind, tell me about you? You must have been through a lot. Sometimes you need to say what is hidden in your heart. Enya looked at the Heavenly Evil sincerely.
"If you could be my friend. Enya continued, seeing the heavenly evil looking at her vigilantly, she couldn't help but feel sarcastic, how could someone as powerful as him be friends with a little person like her?
But the Heavenly Evil turned around and sat down on the grass, looking at the bright stars in the sky. Enya was overjoyed in her heart, and hurriedly sat down next to the Heavenly Evil.
"I ・・・・・・ my father died when I didn't know how to do things. My mother brought me up alone. Someone would occasionally tell her to think about her happiness, and she always smiled and said that she didn't feel any misfortune, she had a well-behaved and sensible child, and watching me grow up day by day and happily was her best and best happiness. ”
"Every day I watched her work hard to finish her work and do other odd things, and when she came home, she would help me cook. But every time she looked at me, she always smiled. When everything was done, when I fell asleep, she would squeeze her tired legs and arms with a tired face. ”
