Chapter 138: The Death (End of Volume 2)
Chapter 138: The Second Volume of the Outlaw ends
The goblin carried me and staggered out of the woods toward the edge of the wetland
I saw my mother lying on the ground, and my father kneeling on his side with a heavy face
It was the last time I saw them, the sky was roaring, and it was raining heavily and I reached out to return to them, but the goblins walked forward with their heads down, not caring about my cries
The road was starting to get muddy, the goblins' smooth leather soles were making him slip a lot, he was already a little out of breath, his head was stuck to his face with rain and sweat, and there was a not-so-good smell on his body, I could smell the smell of tobacco at that time, but the warmth of his body was the only thing I could grasp
The sky was low overhead, and occasionally a silver edge lit up at the edge of the dark clouds, and before long there was a rumbling thunder
I also saw a lot of birds in the rain curtain, these birds did not seem to be afraid of the rain at all, they flew up and down in the strong wind and rain, at this time many insects had their wings wet, and they flew very clumsily, and the birds could easily swallow them into their stomachs
The slender blades of grass trembled at the rain, and a puff of smoke rose under the rain curtain
The earth looks gray méngméng, which is what it looks like at the beginning of heavy rains
The rain was pouring into countless streams on the ground, and it seemed that there were puddles of water everywhere, and we didn't even know where we were going, we only knew that after running to the upper reaches of the Blue Ice River, we would find the boat, but in this bad weather, I felt that it was not easy to find a castle even in the dark and dreary rain, in fact, I couldn't even see the big trees dozens of yards away, I could only see a vague shadow
We were afraid that the soldiers behind us would suddenly chase after us, in which case we would not have any chance, and as long as one soldier came and beheaded us out of the hope of merit, we were all finished
My father's teacher held me in his arms and fled all the way down the high and low slopes
Each thunder seemed to him as if Wright's cavalry had roared behind him; And when the swift flies past us, he will bow his body suddenly, like a few arrows; The xiǎo animals that plopped into the pond also made him tremble, for fear that it would be the sound of killing grumbling in ambush on the road
The sky was like a miscellaneous wolf down, gray and white, covering the whole sky
Where the sun disappeared, there was a faint circle of light and shadow, the earth was dark, and the rain fell to the ground
Is this the vision of the end times?
It wasn't long before I stopped struggling and I felt the terrible fact that the world was just me and the goblins, and if I slipped away from him, I would have found no one on my head like a wet cloth covering the top of my head, and I looked through my scattered head at the vague scene outside
The only sounds I could hear were the wheezing of goblins and the roar of heavy rain
It is said that there are still dozens of miles away from the riverbank, and we may not be able to reach it before dark, in a depression, a goblin stumbled and threw me out, I fell into a puddle of mud, and my nose was immediately filled with a strong, sweet smell of rust, I wiped my nose with my hand, mō got the blood on my hand, but I did not feel the slightest fear at that time, or rather, it was better to say that the army and the massacre I had seen before had frightened me too much
I looked back in the direction of the goblin, and he stood up from the mud like an undead from the ground, standing in front of me like a dark shadow, and I was terrified when he asked me again
Finally, his stubbled chin appeared in my field of vision, his face looked so kind, although it was covered with mud and had been cut a few times, but when I saw his face, I felt hot tears welling up in my eyes again, I had never relied on anyone like that time
"Kid," he pulled me up, "I can't carry my back, can you walk on your own?" ”
I nodded, then grabbed his hand and stood up, only to see that I had sprained my foot
He didn't seem to see the injury on my foot, he just looked back through the rain curtain, and I was sure he couldn't see anything, but he became more worried, and he grabbed my hand and started running forward
I was almost leaning over and being dragged by him
We kept running, the wet and cold rain drenched us, but when the wind blew, we didn't feel cold, our faces ran into apples, and the wet and cold raindrops fell on my face
When the twilight sè Sihe, the rain was only a little xiǎo
The scenery of the sky has changed, because the rain is no longer dense, so although the time is getting later and later, but the sky is a little whiter, and there is even a large touch of pale blue on the edge of the sky, I stared at the sky and looked at it, if God sent an angel to let me give up my future life and go to heaven with her, I would definitely agree without hesitation
But no angels came, and a whole south wind covered the sky with clouds, and my world became dark again
I suddenly saw that my left shoe had run away, and the flannel socks were stained with mud and water hanging on my feet, as if they were the máo brush used by the tenant farmers to clean the pigsty, and I felt that the kùzi had broken his knee, but I didn't feel very much pain, and my father's teacher occasionally looked back with sorrow, and what he feared was not the pursuers, but something terrible
Before the sky went completely dark, we found a fisherman's abandoned xiǎo shack with a torn net at the mouth of the mén
The house has a large broken roof, only covered with bamboo strips and grass, but it can't cover anything anymore, the heavy rain just now blew the roof of this xiǎo house to pieces, and a xiǎo stream next to it must have swelled across the river bank when the rain was at its highest, and the water was all over the house, and I saw that the hay and rags on the ground were wet, and there was a smell of smoke in the house, and there were a few pieces of burned firewood in a dirt pit in the middle
The goblins spent a long time in the house burning the oil-soaked fire-making items, but nothing was left in the mud, and we searched for a long time and found only a few rusty hooks, and as night fell, we now had nothing to eat
We went around and I saw a puddle on the north side of the xiǎo house, and in it I saw a few gray xiǎo fish, the goblin tried to scoop them with a broken basket, but in vain, these flexible xiǎo fish always swam away the moment we started, and we only found some unknown xiǎo fruits to eat, these fruits were sour and astringent, and the tongue swelled after eating
I don't know when the rain stopped, maybe it was eight o'clock, or maybe it was late at that time, and there was nothing to see outside, and the goblins piled up the simplest grass in a corner of the xiǎo house with branches and blades of grass, I had never slept in this kind of place since I was born, and I didn't know at the time, I would have been sleeping in this kind of place for a considerable part of the future
The wind was blowing all the time
I asked the goblins, "When are Father and Mother coming to us?" ”
He patted me on the shoulder and it was a long time before he said, "Sleep, Timmy"
"Are they dead?"
“”
"Did Wright Burberlet kill them?"
“”
Something had fallen on the roof of the house, and there was a great movement in the silence of the night, and I could hear the sound of cooing, which seemed to come from hell, and it made me feel terrified
"Am I going to die?"
"It's okay, Timmy"
"It's Dark"
"It's almost dawn, Timmy"
"Where are we going from here?"
"I don't know, Timmy I don't know"
"My father said he was going to Nord, and he said that the house there was built like Paraven and we could go there and wait for him"
"Okay, let's go to Nord"
"Nord can't use the carriage, what will we do when we get it back?"
“”
"What if someone hunts us down?"
"Listen, I'll always be by your side, if there's any danger, you must pull out the tuǐ and run, especially when I'm in danger, don't think about coming to save me, I'll help you get your crotch down, you must live, Timmy"
The goblin shuddered, he grabbed me by the shoulder, and involuntarily said something like 'Oh my God' his teeth chattered up and down, and he said, "Timmy, you want to live"
"Okay, okay"
"If you encounter danger, you have to learn to protect yourself, oh my God, you still have to learn so many things, you can't use a sword, a pen, or a horse, God left you to me, you don't know anything children, if you encounter danger, you must run quickly, don't worry about me''"
He kept talking as if he had broken down
I hugged him, I felt helpless, I didn't know what to do, I felt that he was more panicked than I was, I stopped talking, I listened to the voices in the dark, I kept fantasizing about hearing my father's hooves and my mother's call, I imagined them crossing the wetlands and appearing in front of me
I imagined the sun-drenched kitchen of White Pigeon Valley: a cat huddled together and sleeping on the windowsill like a máo velvet blouse; The cook was wiping the sweat from her forehead with her flour-stained hands; She had to bring out a large jar of grape sauce to spread the bread, and her apron was greased; The cook had left the largest apple in the cupboard, ready to give me what I knew by hand when I came, and when I went, she would put her arms around me and kiss my forehead, and then stuff the apple into my arms
The apples tasted so good, I smacked my lips and felt a distant hunger as I fell asleep
This night I spent in a feverish dream, and for the first time I dreamed of such a complex and clear scene:
"Wright's cavalry visited the Valley of the White Dove, and I watched under the fireworks the bracelet I gave to Dela;
The wheat fields of the White Pigeon Valley are green, and the birds land on the scarecrow's arm and hisses at me during the black sè bugs flying;
The goblin took off his hat and asked me and my grandfather, 'Can you lead the way';
I dreamed that my grandfather slept in the hall of the White Pigeon Valley, motionless in white clothes, and my grandmother buried her head in the arms of Aunt Pianwen and wept;
I dreamed of my grandfather, whom I had never met, dressed up, and listening to the urgent report of the messenger from the north, with a frown;
I dreamed that somewhere in the North Sea, a lame man woke up, gasping for breath, and the moon outside the window was like a silver sickle;
I also dreamed that the soldiers of the brigade were moving, and the soldiers looked from time to time from the ranks at the cavalry standing on the side, I dreamed that Wright crossed the crowd and walked to a corpse, which was covered with bows and arrows, and was wearing a beautiful bronze covered helmet, Wright trembled and undid the mask on the face of the corpse, and then in the dream, I saw Wright lù with a dignified expression, and then shook his head, and covered the helmet mask, and the man named Allen on the side of the helmet mask stopped talking, but Wright glared at him fiercely, Alan didn't speak after all
Finally, I dreamed that a white dove was struck by a shè wing, and landed on the ground fluttering its wings, raising dust, and the hunter in the distance got closer and closer, and the sound of shaking his arms became more and more obvious
Suddenly, I really heard the sound of wings, I woke up, through the gap in the xiǎo house, I was now bright, I turned around, and the two blackbirds that stopped in front of the xiǎo house immediately fluttered their wings and flew away
The goblins are not there
I looked around in horror, and there was no one but me
"Sir?" I whispered, worried that loud noise would attract bad things
I sat up and saw a strange world through the mén slit: wet, endless green wetlands
In the xiǎo room, I felt my heart beating violently, I shrank to the side, and wanted to wait patiently for him to come back, but when it was not half xiǎo, I couldn't sit still, and I wanted to go out and have a look
I stepped out of the mén and looked around: there was nothing but the reeds of the veins
"Child, if there is danger, you must run quickly, leave me alone"
I shouted in despair, "Are you around, sir?" ”
Two birds that had been alarmed by me flew back and landed not far away, looking at me with bad intentions, and I was even afraid of these two birds
"Gotta Run, Leave Me Alone"
The goblin must be dead, or in danger I thought to myself that inside the rain curtain, he was the only thing I could hold onto, his body was warm and smelled of tobacco, but now he was gone, without a trace
I looked in the opposite direction and began to move, but I was not sure if I was going to leave here at this time, the two birds began to flutter their wings, and the sound of flapping fans frightened me, and I began to pull out the tuǐ and run away
I jumped over the xiǎo stream, crossed the rocks, ran up the hillside, and I saw the whole world unfold infinitely before me
Before me is the mountain, the river, the place where kings put their crowns, and the dreamland where heroes take away beautiful women
Against the wind, I kept running and running, running into the depths of the wetland
Where lies ahead?
Maybe it's Nord, maybe it's Vecchia, I don't know I feel like there's something chasing me behind me, I don't know
"Gotta Run"
At noon that day, when I had no way to go, I found a xiǎo boat, which was made into a terrible appearance, and a slippery layer of black sludge was born on the surface, and it floated up and down in the water, and the rope that held it was corroded, and another storm would break it, and I trembled and tried to untie the rope, but now I was in vain, and in the end, I had to bring a stone to hit the bow of the boat that bound the rope
The rope was smashed white, and then broke After a certain exertion, the rope was loosened, and the boat was on the water
I found a long stick on the boat, I saw a xiǎo dealer in the canal of Suno holding the xiǎo boat with a long stick, I slammed the boat, and after the xiǎo boat almost overturned and stabilized it, it just spun in circles, no matter how hard I tried, it only circled in place
The sound of the wind in the distance, speaking a language I didn't understand, I was terrified, and stabbed a rod at the muddy water behind the stern
The xiǎo boat trembled and sank for a moment, and then, it gently left the shore
Ahead is a complex water system, down the river, is the blue ice river, on the blue ice river, countless merchant ships full of goods are being blown by the wind full of sails, shuttling back and forth
Summer was in the thick of time, and I was starting to die
