Chapter Ninety-Six: Eri's Past
Perhaps as the year approached, the weather became much colder.
After saying hello to Uesugi Yue, Mu Qingtong went straight out with Eri Yi, considering the other party's situation, she didn't take Eri Yi to any too lively places, but just went to a nearby shopping mall.
Because she was frail and sick since she was a child, most of Eri's previous life was spent alone in that small courtyard, and her world was limited to the room full of various game cartridges, as well as the unchanging scenery in the courtyard outside.
It is precisely because of this that she is extremely lacking in common sense.
Her perception of the world either came from the teachings of the mentor she called her, or she pieced together them one by one from those games, so during her time in the hospital, she often did things that seemed incredible to ordinary people.
ββUnderstanding the real world and reconstructing common sense, this is the first lesson that Mu Qingzhi wants to teach to Eriyi.
The two of them had fun in the mall together, catching dolls in front of the crane machine, sitting in the storefront and tasting desserts and cakes, sitting in front of the fountain with a glass of Coke in their hands, walking in the park next to them, and then running to the aquarium to see dolphins and penguins...... And so on for a whole day.
There are naturally some episodes in the middle, for example, some men want to come over to talk to them when they see Hunter Xinxi, or the scouts find out that they want to sign a contract with them to make their debut and become idols, but before these people have time to get close to them, they are solved in advance by the black suits who follow nearby.
In fact, if you travel normally, Mu Qingtong personally doesn't like to bring bodyguards, but considering that he brought Eri Yi with him this time, he simply asked Uesugi to ask for some people to come over.
β¦β¦ As it turned out, she made a wise decision.
"How's that, do you feel about it?"
As the night deepened, sitting on the bench under the street lamp in the park, after stretching a little comfortably, Mu Qingtong turned his head to look at the pear clothes beside him.
The other party was wearing a beautiful dress that she just bought from the mall today, the main color of the skirt was warm and warm, the skirt was tied into a bow at the back of the waist, and a white belt was tied above the forehead, looking like a princess who ran away from home from a fairy tale.
Well...... By the way, Eri was looking for a set of medieval full-body armor in the mall before, with a fully sealed helmet kind, and the store manager also came with an additional knight's sword if you bought it in full.
To put it mildly, after promising to buy this set of armor and send it back, Mu Qingtong persuaded the reluctant Eri Yi to leave the window.
If she hadn't been persuaded at that time, maybe sitting next to her now would have been a medieval tin can......
γβ¦β¦ The world is beautiful. γ
After thinking about it for a moment, Eri held the note to her.
Dolphins and penguins are very cute and love it. γ
In the past, the thing she looked at the most was the fallen leaves in the yard, and although a few small birds occasionally flew in, they did not stay in the yard for long.
In fact, she has a pet, and the tutor has tried his best to meet her requirements, and she still remembers the joy she first received from the bird, and took care of each other wholeheartedly, but within a few days, the bird died stiffly in front of her.
After that, it was as if she had turned on some kind of spell, no matter how careful she was, no matter what she had, whether it was a bird, a turtle, or a goldfish, those pets would die strangely within a few days.
The mentor will regret to tell her that those pets can't stand her environment, but it doesn't matter, she can buy another batch for her, and make sure that they are exactly the same as the original pets...... But even if they look the same, those pets aren't the same as they were.
Over time, she no longer made such requests, but would turn her head and quietly look at the distant sky outside the window when the tutor said such words again.
"Hmm...... Dolphins are indeed quite cute. β
After thinking about it for a while, Mu Qingtong nodded a little approvingly.
Are penguins not cute? γ
Tilting her head slightly, Eri looked a little puzzled.
"Cute is cute, but I don't know what's going on, as soon as I see the penguin walking towards me, I always feel that its next step is to ask me if I want to charge Q coins......"
After coughing a few times in his mouth, Mu Qingzhi turned his head to look at the other party.
"By the way, can you tell me about your past? It's not reluctant if it's inconvenient, I'm just a little curious......"
Shaking her head, Eri interrupted her.
There is nothing inconvenient, there are actually very few things that can be said in the past, if my sister wants to listen, I can tell my sister. γ
ββ¦β¦ Okay, you say it. β
I didn't expect it to go so smoothly, and after being a little stunned, Mu Qingtong subconsciously sat up straight.
Unlike the original plot, Eri has been protected and imprisoned in a steel cage, Eri has grown up on the side of the fierce ghosts now, because there is no condition in the snake Qi Eight family, so she has been weak and sick since she was a child, and she can only stay in the room and look at the yard, and she is so weak that she can't even stand up.
It's hard to say which of these two conditions is better, but in this different educational environment, Eri's own personality hasn't changed much, and it has to be said that it's not a miracle.
It's just that soon, looking at the handwriting that Hui Liyi slowly wrote on the note, Mu Qingtong couldn't help but be silent.
In Eri's impression, it was not in the deserted courtyard from the beginning that she could remember, but in a closed room with a lot of steel, many people surrounded her, and after seeing her open her eyes, they bowed down to her feverishly.
β¦β¦ That was her first impression of the world.
At first, the people treated her with great respect, and eagerly called her the hope for the future of the Fierce Ghosts, but after discovering that she was in poor health and was constantly sick, their attitude became worse and worse.
Until one day, she inadvertently killed someone.
- because of the words that came out of her mouth, the man was cut in two before her.
Hot blood splattered on her face, but she felt dazed.
At the time, she didn't understand what it was, but she began to like it when she found out that people had regained respect for her and praised her fanatically.
From that day on, those people began to send some of the people they had caught before her, and then knelt down before her, saying in a reverent tone that these sinners need to be executed by you, Lord Dragon, so that others can see your heroic appearance...... She did.
At that time, she sat on the throne that those people had created for her, curiously and quietly watching as some of the people who had been executed and judged by her words died in agony in front of her, and the background was the frenzied cheers of those people.
β¦β¦ It's noisy and makes her a little annoying.
Then one day, she found herself unable to stand up.
Although she was said to be frail and sickly, she was actually able to walk, run and jump, but after she began to judge and execute sinners, every trial and execution made her fragile body overwhelmed...... Until they can no longer stand up.
It was also at this time that the mentor appeared beside her.
The other party forcibly forbade this useless trial process, invited the best doctor to recuperate her body, and warned her that it was best not to speak if her abilities could not be used indiscriminately, and then sent her to the courtyard for recuperation......
In the guru's body, she felt a feeling that she had never felt before, which was not brought to her by those who only knelt in front of her with fanatical expressions, and it made her feel very warm.
But the tutor was very busy and didn't come to see her often, and she was so weak at that time that she couldn't even sit up, so she had to lie quietly in that room and count the falling leaves outside.
At that time, she hadn't been able to understand what death was, and it wasn't until one day that her mentor sent her a bird as a pet to relieve her boredom, and she inadvertently killed her favorite bird, that she truly understood what death was for the first time.
Death is the disappearance of temperature, no longer making sounds, and no longer being affectionately pressed against her cheeks and palms to her as before...... It was the first cry she could remember.
Holding the bird, she cried so loudly that she couldn't even catch her breath, but no one came to comfort her, and no one heard her cry.
- Since that day, she has never chosen to speak again.
PS: Good morning (γ₯βββ)γ₯
I didn't dare to stay up late anymore, and when I woke up in the morning, my stomach hurt all morning......
After that, there are probably three more today.
