(6) Begin life in the barracks 1
The noisy breath outside the window stimulates the eardrums all the time, and dreams and reality switch back and forth in the mind. The pain of breathing reminds me that I am still alive, and when I open my eyes slowly, the turbid and dizzy world is not stable for a long time.
The cold wind blowing through the window brought a hint of clarity to the brain, and when consciousness was fully restored, I found myself in a dimly lit room. When I swallowed hard, I felt a strong foreign body sensation in my throat, and I struggled to get up, and the severe pain in my body forced me to give up this thought.
Instinctively, he reached out to pull something, and found that there was a slender hose that was connected directly to the mouth. Pulling hard, strong discomfort and vomiting followed, bitter and burning stomach acid poured into the mouth, trying to spit it out, but the hose in the mouth did not agree, the feeling of stinging pain made the boy like an ant on a hot pot, struggling.
"What's going on!?"
The girl's frightened voice came from the room, and with the sound of the chair moving back violently, a familiar figure hurriedly appeared in front of him. After a brief observation, she carefully pulled out the hose from the boy's mouth and brought him a glass of water for him to drink.
Cool water is slowly poured into the stomach along the tip of the tongue and throat and esophagus, and the burning sensation gradually calms down with the flow of water. As soon as he lay down, a towel hurriedly wiped the corners of his mouth and eyes. Looking towards the figure, Airi was staring at him, and there were still some red marks on his fair and beautiful cheeks.
"It's really nice to see that you're safe and sound!" Airi smiled and wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes and walked behind her, "You rest first, I'll go get you something to eat, you should be very hungry!" ”
Just as he was about to ask something, he saw Airi close the door. I wanted to get out of bed and move my body, but every time I moved, it was accompanied by pain, and when I looked up at my body, I found that I was covered in bandages like a mummy.
"We are alive thanks to the old man's help." An unfamiliar voice rang out.
Lying in bed, he felt a shock in his heart, because after Airi left, he was sure that he was the only one left in the room at this time. Wait a minute! Why is it so sure?
A figure stepped out of the darkness and stood in front of him. His appearance looked so familiar, so unreal, if a mirror was erected between the two, he could still think of him as a reflection of himself.
"What's the matter, I guess I got something on my face," the boy said to himself, groping for something on his face.
He began to wonder if he was awake and pressed the back of his hand to his forehead, and a cold touch came from it. Twisting his body, the faint pain from inside told him that he was still alive, at least he was still awake at the moment. So what's going on with the boy in front of you?
"Looks like you're suspicious of my origins, right?" Seeing that he kept looking at himself, the boy brought a chair and sat on it with great interest.
"It's going to be complicated to explain, you can simply understand me as another person, and from now on, I'll act with you."
Seeing that he was still suspicious, the boy got up and unbuttoned his shirt, revealing a purple-red bruise. He pressed his fingers against the area and pressed harder, and the same area covered with bandages felt the same force and pain.
"Now you get the idea! We are both one and two separate individuals, and when you are too seriously injured, the consequences will also affect my existence, so it is necessary for me to keep you safe for the rest of my life. The boy said coldly.
When I was about to ask something, the door was pushed open, Airi and Kamisun walked in, and when I looked back, the boy's figure had disappeared.
"Has anyone ever been in the room?" Eri asked tentatively, put down the tray in his hand, and walked back and forth around the room.
"I'm sorry, we didn't know you were awake, so the food was ground to minced pieces, so we had to eat it." Shangshan behind him stepped forward with a smile and showed the food in the tray to Xuan.
Enduring the severe pain, with the help of Shangshan, he sat up. The food in front of me is no longer in its original form, and the smell of colorful substances mixed in the bowl is indescribable. Take a bite from the spoon in your hand, and the flavors of spices and food bloom on your taste buds, making it a little hard to swallow.
"Is there a heavy seasoning? I'll go back and reflect the situation and ask Rom not to add seasonings to the food next time. After watching Xuan Wuxin eat again, Shangshan took the bowl and spoon in his hand, put it in the tray and left the room.
Airi relocated the chair to the place where the sun was shining and sat down and looked at her quietly, not knowing what to say for a moment, and both of them fell silent. Until the sound of hurried footsteps sounded in the hallway, a ten-year-old boy pushed open the door, realized that he had gone to the wrong room, apologized repeatedly after being reminded by his companion, and then closed the door and left.
"I remember when I first came here, I often went to the wrong door, and Elsie's mother would always patiently teach me, so that I could understand some necessary etiquette and ways to get along in human society, now think about it, I miss my old life!" Airi looked out at the door, and the children's voices weren't far away.
"I've heard that you've been assigned to the Junior Corps now, what should I say... The commander of the defense point corps and his henchmen, they are a group based on strength and will do whatever it takes for the sake of the goal, and the regiment commander is even more reckless because his father is Viscount Heimbain, and it has long been heard that they habitually bully the weak, especially within the corps. ”
"I don't know why Lord Heatrice assigned you to the Boys' Corps, but your addition will undoubtedly increase their interest in you, since you are the youngest of them." Airi looked serious and walked over to check on the injury.
The battle with Modi began to be recalled in his mind, and from the moment he stopped and chose to leave, there was a disconnect in his memory, and he woke up and lay in bed. For that lost memory, it may not be useful to oneself, on the contrary, it will bring trouble to oneself, as long as you are alive and can see her again, everything does not matter.
"Fortunately, the rest only needs to be recuperated for a while, don't exercise vigorously until then, and the doctor has explained the situation to Lord Heatrice and Jessett, at least until your injuries are healed, they won't come to trouble you." Airi sorted out her belongings and prepared to leave.
"And you, Arry... Sister? He subconsciously grabbed Airi's sleeve.
Airi was a little shocked by his actions, and after a slight adjustment, she gently let go of her hand and stroked his forehead with a smile.
"I can't be by your side for the rest of the day, although the first time we met, I said that I would take care of your daily life, but this side of the barracks is not under our jurisdiction, and I will have to leave here when you wake up."
Something was about to come to my heart, but the tears couldn't stop flowing. I wanted to hold her tightly, not to let her escape, I didn't want to leave her side, but I couldn't tell her my heart like a child anyway, I could only look at her and smile and hold myself into my arms.
"Okay, okay, when you come to the cafeteria to eat, we can still sit together, Leah, they are preparing your daily utensils and clothes, and they will be sent to you later, so there is no need to be sad."
Airi stroked his back, and when he stopped crying, he took out a blue square scarf from his pocket and wiped the stains off his face like a doll. Straightening his hair, kneading his cheeks, a pair of dark and shiny pupils gradually became bright under the slender eyelashes.
"Well, when you're strong enough, we'll ask the Earl to assign you to the castle, so we can live together."
A knock on the door outside the house shattered the warmth of each other, and Airi smiled and packed up her belongings and left. When she opened the door, the boy's voice sounded outside, followed by the sound of Arri arguing with her.
Just as he was about to get out of bed to check, the door was kicked open, and a 16-year-old boy entered. He was followed by a man in a white coat, under the instruction of the boy, he came to Xuan without saying anything, pinched his chin hard, looked at something in his mouth, let go and opened his eyelids, illuminated his eyes with a light, and coughed violently after a set of procedures.
"Jessett, don't go too far!!"
Airi hurriedly ran into the room and yelled at the boy, and the man in the white coat hurriedly stopped.
"Oops, I'm just doing a routine check-up on him to prevent some people from pretending to be sick here to avoid training!" Jesitt sarcastically spread her hands towards the Moon.
Ignoring Jessie, Airi dropped his belongings and rushed to the bed to check on him. Seeing that she was left out in the cold, Jessette felt that she couldn't hold face on her face and wanted to get back on the field for herself, so she slowly walked to the bedside. But when his intentions were detected by Airi, the next words forced him to leave the place in a gloomy manner.
"If you mess around here again, beware that I tell the Earl everything you have done before, will you still be as arrogant as you are?"
Looking at the crumbling wooden door, Airi couldn't help but let out a long sigh, sat down in a chair to calm down, and after tidying up her appearance, she walked out of the room again. The boy who appeared earlier also appeared in front of her after she left, picked up the bowl of food and tasted it, and spit out the food in his mouth again and again, it seemed that both of them would be hungry tonight.
I don't know how long later, Leah led the group to the room to visit Xuan, and with the help of Akane and Shangshan, Xuan finally descended to the ground, and followed their steps to a single room, which was already lined with all the daily necessities.
"After our discussion, we finally applied to Lord Heatrice for this room, and you will live here alone in the future, and you can come to us at any time if you need anything in life. This is the key to the room, you have to keep it safe, never give it to anyone. Leah handed her a polished key that glowed silver.
"Here's our extra garlic bread for you, and freshly heated milk, come here and eat it!" Kaoru smiled and pointed to the food on the table, and Rom appropriately brought a chair.
What is the warmth of the world? They are the ones who are willing to give for you, to be there for you when you are hurt, to give hugs when you cry, and to help you when you need them.
Before he could be moved to tears, he was pulled to the table by Ayase, and before he could open his mouth, the bread was already handed to his mouth. The room was filled with a cheerful atmosphere, everyone was taking care of themselves, explaining the details of life in detail for Wei, until they were all busy, and the room returned to its original loneliness and desertion under their farewell.
Alone staring at the bread on the table, feeling the residual heat cool in his hands. One hand took the bread, put it in his mouth and chewed it carefully, and took the milk from his hand and drank it in one gulp, but he did not resent his behavior, and he did not even notice when he appeared, as if he had been there from the beginning.
"Now, what do you think I need to do to become strong and be by their side forever?" He asked nonchalantly.
The boy on the side didn't say anything, just smiled at Xuan, his eyes glowing red like a devouring monster. The cold wind outside the window pushed the window open, whistling and blowing the candle flame and swaying, and the lonely shadow reflected in it also swayed.
