Chapter 81: The Ginkgo Tree in My Hometown
Time back to some time ago, after losing Ye Fan, Kellerbus called Lazor as soon as possible.
"Sir, the negotiations have failed," said Calebas, "and if I'm not mistaken, he should be on his way to his companion's place by now." β
And Kellerbus's prediction is so accurate, a short exchange can see through what kind of person Ye is. The madness was devouring the boy, pushing him under the scythe of death, a path of fluttering butterflies.
And that's why he Lazor came here - to wait for the rabbit.
Razol didn't look away, but his gaze involuntarily glanced into the darkness - he already knew that Ye Fan was hiding there.
Luo Ding's eyes widened, the clues were so complicated and obscure at that moment, but he understood everything at once.
Lazor began to move closer to the floor where the rune paper was "hidden". Ye Fan, who was completely unaware of the danger, also raised his finger when he saw this, and was about to launch the explosion.
At this critical moment, life and death are just a relationship separated by a thin layer of paper. The demon of war is so ruthless.
Ye Fan resolutely launched the rune paper, but the explosion did not occur at the feet of Lazore, on the contrary...... He heard the sound of burning rune paper under his feet, and when he looked down, he was stunned - the rune paper appeared at his feet.
This...... What's going on??
This is the rune paper that was originally pasted in the hall? When did you transfer to this side?!
Who did it???
The golden arrow struck Ye Fan, and at the moment of contact, the butterfly chain behind him stretched all the way on the gold-rimmed scroll, connecting to the endless darkness. All cause and effect weigh heavily on that strike point, running through everything.
Butterflies, flying over him. It dances so gracefully and dances, but it is a demon that plays with cause and effect...... And the light of the explosion began to grow, illuminating his frightened face.
Death's scythe fell......
β¦β¦
Suddenly, a wind force acted on him, pushing him out of the explosion!
"Bang!" The explosion was in front of his eyes, and he was protected by the wind, and he dodged the blow unharmed!
The wind was like countless hands, one after the other supporting his whole body, gentle and full of power. It's like a friend who knows all too well...... No, it's an infinite number of ...... Countless partners smiled at him. Then he began to exert force, and Qi Qi pushed him into the distance.
Ye was stunned again, looking at the hall where the light was fading away, looking at Luo Ding, who was left alone, his thoughts were overwhelmed by memories.
Luo Ding looked at the leaf that was taken away by his own wind technique, and smiled slightly:
Hehe, that's all I can do...... Stinky boy who doesn't dry up...... You must get out......
Such a change Lazor also immediately realized that his originally calm face was finally out of control, as if he was condemning Luo Ding: What did you do?!
"Precious fate, huh?" Luo looked straight at him and responded teasingly with the words he had used: "Then you should understand by now...... This is the power of worthless fate in your mouth. Future...... In the future, he will give it back to you tenfold with his strength! That day will come soon! Just wait and take it! β
Luo Ding said these words just to provoke him and disgust him at the last moment, and he didn't really want Ye Fan to take on this kind of thing. But when he heard this, Lazol naturally had another understanding.
For some reason, Lazor could no longer calm down, as if fate would really come back to him for his life...... And the original life of the young man was just a low-hanging fruit, but with the intervention of that gust of wind, not only the young man, but also the soul of Wang Ma slipped away from under his nose...... Now things are in trouble.
He waved his hand, and the battle armor formation beside him raised their javelins high and aimed at Luo Ding.
And Luo Ding also stretched out his hand, and countless wind holy spears were born in the darkness and attacked them.
The nosebleed flowed down, and his magic finally came to an end.
ββββββ
Luo Ding is a mischievous little boy in a small village.
Since I was a child, I have caused a lot of trouble for my mother, fighting with others, trampling on people's farmland, stealing the test papers of the lingua franca teacher, and not a single bad thing has been left behind.
Of course, when I go home, I will inevitably be beaten by my mother.
"But!" He said, with unconvincing tears in the corners of his eyes: "Mom! They speak ill of you! β
Mom was stunned for a moment, and the broom in her hand stopped: "What did they say?" β
"They say you are a widow...... The widow who no one wants......" Speaking of this, his eyes were a little red again, and he looked really wronged.
Mom was silent, put the broom on the ground, and said earnestly: "Fighting and stepping on other people's things are things that should not be done." Other people's mouths are not clean, they want to be bad guys, don't be like them. β
Alas, Mom, why do you always say the same thing to Dad. Dad is a bad guy, but you see what happened to him in the end...... Luo Dingxin was unwilling, but finally nodded.
After educating him, his mother was about to turn the page on it. But suddenly I remembered something, turned around and asked, "What's the matter with stealing the teacher's test papers?" β
"Uh...... What about this......" He scratched his head with his fingers, and was so embarrassed that he pulled out three bedrooms and one living room.
This was followed by another beating. His childhood, complete.
In the calm village, beautiful flowers and trees can be seen everywhere, and when the flowering season comes, they are all golden, and they dance and jump in the wind like countless little goblins.
β¦β¦
The war began.
An evil force called Lamani waged a war of aggression against the nations.
However, the war was concentrated in the central and southern parts of the mainland, and the people in the village thought that the war was far away from them. On this day, the taverns in the village were full. Luo Ding and a group of small village tyrants stole red wine and sat outside to taste it.
"What does wine taste like, have you tasted it?" Luo Ding asked.
"I've drunk it! It is a sweet taste. It's delicious! The little friend said triumphantly, and the nose looked longer than usual.
"Divide me a cup!" Another friend said, can't wait to grab the flask.
Suddenly, there was a violent explosion nearby, which scared them so much that their wine fell to the ground.
He didn't expect that almost in the blink of an eye, the whole world would be in chaos.
Crowds of people were running around in the streets, smoke was rising from places, and explosions were ringing out loud.
"Bang! Bang! β
The sound is so close...... It's really close......
He only felt the world spinning, and he couldn't count how many times he had fallen. I was also separated from my friends. When he regained consciousness, he found a waitress holding him by the arm and hiding in the room.
"Shhhhh......hh
The outside world has fallen silent, and now there is a dead silence...... It's frighteningly still, dead silence.
He was so frightened that he didn't dare to breathe, and curled up tightly beside the woman. After some time, the woman seemed to relax a little, said "I'll go out and have a look", and ran out.
Luo Ding looked through the opening of the letter stuffed in the door, and saw her walking cautiously down the street, and his heart almost rose to his throat.
Suddenly, a strange light and shadow flashed behind her, and her body stopped...... Her body then split in half, the top half sliding down the neat incision.
Luo was completely frightened and covered his mouth tightly.
The light flickered a few times, and it turned into a man with a knife. The man had a blood-red symbol on his forehead, and his eyes looked hollow, no different from a dead man. But his body is hundreds of times more flexible than normal people.
The man was approaching, he was so nervous that he didn't dare to breathe, and cold sweat was falling down his body. But when the man came to the door, he entered the room opposite, and then the room rang out with numerous screams.
He took the opportunity to escape, running and running non-stop. He ran almost to the outermost part of the village before stopping. It was already full of smoke, and he soon saw where he and his mother livedβthere was only a big pit left.
"Mom...... Mom ......" He began to cry, tears falling down in big pieces.
At this moment, a huge flame exploded not far from him, and the shockwave blasted him far away. He fell to the ground, in pain, unable to get up.
In the darkness, golden petals fluttered all over the sky, so turbulent and gloomy. An elven woman is approaching, with two fireballs condensed in her hands. She also had the same sigil on her forehead as the sword man, and her eyes were as loose as the Dead Sea...... It's an emotionless war machine.
Mom......
He was so grief-stricken that he couldn't think of running for his life.
Then he saw a wind blade slicing through the air, as if it had brightened the world. Immediately afterward, the elf girl fell...... In a daze, it seemed that someone was calling his name, someone was patting his cheek, he opened his eyes and focused for a while, and the last thing he saw was his mother's face.
Mommy is alive!
His cries drowned out in the blur of the world, and he hugged her tightly.
After that, the world seemed to be silent, and his mother fled with him all the way, but everywhere he went, he was devastated...... The enemy was too strong, and in less than two days, their country fell.
They had to flee to neighbouring countries, where conditions were not always good. The streets were full of refugees pouring in from outside the city. They managed to secure a refugee pod, and not long after they moved in, someone came to grab their bread. He wanted to beat up the child who was robbing something, but after seeing the child's father's amputated leg, he gradually let go of his hand.
When his mother saw him like this, she touched his head and comforted, "It's okay, the bread will be there tomorrow." Let's eat the last chocolate we brought with us. β
"Okay, Mom," he said, with inexplicable tears in his eyes.
Everyone's a little bit out of the ordinary. It's all war, and the devil of war is harmed. He thought to himself.
Soon after, a group of soldiers came to the door and said a lot to my mother, as if to ask: "You and your husband have gone on an expedition with Archmage Yongyun......"
Mom put her hand in front of her and gestured no: "I'm just a mother." β
After those people left, Luo held his mother's hand: "Mom, I want to see you beat the bad guys." β
"Silly child," said the mother, "Mom can't do anything, she used to be." β
As she said this, her voice was a little slower than usual. Maybe she was thinking about something, she looked a little down, but finally smiled slightly.
"Mom won't go anywhere, and she has to grow up with Luo Ding."
The sky in the refuge area was as gray as ever, but one day, a female singer took the lead and sang the national anthem that Luo had never heard before:
"Wear your helmet
Save your life, child
It's just a wound of flesh and skin
Come, take your sword
Crawl through that garden now
Sir, I see he's already dripping with blood
You have a thousand words but you can't open them
Came here with you
I sink and sink with you
Watch as you inhale
Watch you exhale, exhale
There are some things that you can't learn in medical school
Someone's daughter, someone's mother
Now I can only hold your hand through the plastic partition
Doctor, I don't think he'll be able to hold it anymore
You have a thousand words, but you can't open them
It has been 20 minutes since I fell into rest
But the paradise of your dreams is close at hand
It's as if the moment in front of you makes your soul feel relieved
I just want to tell if what is in front of me is real
β¦β¦β
Many people in the refuge area have never heard this national anthem, so they have to listen quietly until it is over.
The gray clouds in the sky seemed to disperse.
It was a time when no matter how much he thought about it, he felt very calm inside. The adults talking to each other, the young children running and playing, and the aircraft flying in the sky seem to be unforgettable veins in the dream flower forest. Once one of the petals is drawn, it will appear one by one, drifting away into the infinite time and space.
The pattern also seems to appear in my mother's eyes from time to time, shining. Whether it's when she's watching the children play, or when she's watching people play and dance around the campfire.
β¦β¦
β¦β¦
The country has a group of talented people who have stood strong for quite some time.
But in the end, it was defeated by the evil Raman......
The flames of war swept through their makeshift shelter in just one hour.
"Bang! Bang! "The flames of war continued to rush through the city, drowning out the screams of the people.
"Hahaha!" The main force of the attack was a wizard clan, and he was not like the sword man and elf girl he had seen before, he didn't have any strange symbols on his body, and he seemed to be a person who could think normally.
Strange magic circles continue to emerge from the city, and some strange-looking things appear, but they are not monsters. In order to avoid being targeted by the World Spells Federation, Raman has always avoided the use of monsters. However, it is these strange-looking things that have taken the lives of the most people.
The country was about to fall, and those who were still alive fled abroad. A large number of aircraft flew in the smoke-filled sky and headed for the far east. His mother and he went through a lot of hardships to finally get to the area where the escape point was located, and there were corpses all over the place, including many young children.
Although it was only a brief glance, he recognized the faces he had seen in the corpse lying on the ground. It was the child who had snatched his bread, and was held in the arms of his father, who was missing a leg, and both of them died. He was still pretending to be calm this night, until he saw this scene, and he still cried.
Is this the way this world should be? He looked at the brutal images that kept appearing, and did not close his eyes, as if to discern whether the scene in front of him was real or not.
Mother, her face was very solemn, illuminated by the skyrocketing fire.
The evil sorcerer appeared before them.
"Hahaha!" The wizard drove countless monsters to attack, Luo Ding closed his eyes in despair, but the next second he heard a strange sound.
In the dark, nothing happened. Monsters, did not eat them.
When he opened his eyes, he saw that the wizard's body had a few holes in the outline, and he was completely dead.
The process was so fast that he couldn't even think of what was going on, so he and his mother continued their journey.
He even thought it was just a hallucination, there were no bread snatchers, and there were no evil wizards.
The escape point was so crowded with people that it was impossible to hear what was being said from the front. People are frantically crowding the planes, and the line of defense against them is falling and approaching.
It wasn't until they squeezed to the front that they heard what was being shouted.
"Children and pregnant women are given priority on board!"
"Adult obedience arrangement! Sit tight! β
He was stunned, looking at the full faces of young children on the plane, and then at the crowd below who hugged him tightly, waved his hands, and wept silently, and his heart was very anxious.
Mom...... What about Mom?
When they finally arrived, he held his mother's hand tightly and refused to let go. At this time, when the soldier saw them, he was surprised and said, "Isn't this Colonel Xuefei??" Two of you, please come aboard! β
He was stunned again...... Colonel Bloodfly? Could it be that he is talking about his mother's name, Xuefei?
He looked back at his mother, who was like a calm tree standing still, her curls fluttering gently in the breeze.
Mom, is it that old? Although she had never paid close attention to it, she seemed to have been the appearance of this village woman since she remembered.
God knows how happy he was at this moment? A second ago, I thought my mother wouldn't be able to board the plane, but now, they don't have to be separated anymore.
However, the joy ends there. With the end of his mother's century-long contemplation, this moment that turned his life upside down finally came.
Mom put her hands on his shoulders, looked into his eyes and said, "Luo Ding, be an obedient child...... After getting on the boat, listen to your uncle and aunt. β
"......" Luo Ding realized something in an instant, and was anxious: "What about Mom?" Mom is going up too. β
Mom smiled slightly, shook her head, and looked very calm: "Mom is going to fight the bad guys...... It's a pity that I've always wanted to go on an air trip with Luoding......"
Mom, then we can go now.
Later, when he recalled this moment, how much he wished he could say the above sentence, how much he hoped that he could keep her. But at this time, when he heard the words "beat the bad guy", he couldn't help but feel blood and excitement in his heart. Although it is very small, it is like a small stone hitting the water, rippling layer after layer.
The final answer was, "Mom...... Can you beat them? β
Mom smiled and nodded. In the midst of the hustle and bustle, her smile was really charming: "Okay, you don't know...... Mom used to be a superhero, and she was the person the villain feared the most. β
Mom, is a superhero......
His eyes lit up, and he looked at her expectantly. But in the face of the upcoming separation, there is still some reluctance in my heart.
But in the end, he boarded the aircraft alone.
"Luo Ding, you must grow up." Mom held his hand and said to him before taking off, "It's not a little adult, it's a real adult." Let's start by being obedient. β
"Okay, Mom, come back soon after beating the badass."
"Well, Mom, I must be ...... Will find Luo Ding. She let go of her hand anyway.
He stood on the aircraft and gradually flew higher. Looking down at the mooring, in the midst of a group of crying people, my mother squinted and smiled shallowly, and did not wave goodbye. The figure swayed gently in the breeze, like a ginkgo biloba swaying in memory.
When the aircraft flew to a certain height, he could see the war raging in the city, and his heart was extremely nervous, and he silently prayed to the moon.
Until the sun's rays appeared like the jewels of a ring in the far east, and his one became one with the sky in the morning light. The sun, moon and stars of heaven and earth, Civita is overhead, and she can touch it with her hand. The plane was also silent because of the beautiful scenery, and everything was full of hope.
Holy Civita......
Later one day, he appeared in the church, and the moonlight shone on him through the colorful glass. He looked directly at the dreamy, graceful rainbow light, and said silently:
Please bring Mommy back to me.
