15 Memories
The wilderness that is completely in summer is full of danger, and maybe something will pop out of the grass. What's more, Xius looks particularly easy to bully with this female couple. Xius encountered a lot of trouble along the way.
Gan once proposed to Hu Chiyo to leave, but as an elf, he was an unexpected and realistic person. After feeling that he could not revenge, he gave up very simply. But Chiyo refused. What she meant was that you should at least help escort this group of girls to a safe place. In this situation, Xius and others are more dangerous without one combat strength.
Even if it was an elf, Gan still knew the gentleman's demeanor, and he agreed to help the girls send it to the Tarothus mentioned by Six. Of course, in exchange, he returned his freedom. Didn't wait for Chiyo to speak, and Xiusi agreed. In his heart, it was just that he didn't care about the existence of this elf, but Gan accepted it as a favor.
Falzas in summer is wet and muddy. Fortunately, when it began to rain heavily, they could already see Farsas City, but even so, everyone was inevitably drenched.
When the two men dragged their horses and walked into the city of Farsas, it was already noon, and the sun in the sky was covered by thick clouds. There was no way to dispel the prohibition of magic. The girls were busy looking for their clean clothes from the bags on horseback. On the one hand, they were so wet and too uncomfortable, and on the other hand, the wolf-like eyes of the Parsa soldiers at the gate made them very uncomfortable.
"Where did you come from?"
The leading captain first came up to talk. He was not very interested in that group of women. What made him wonder what kind of dhod the people who went out with so many women at this time were. There are also such things in Palsa, where the folk customs are strong, or, it is more common for aristocratic children with such a big appearance as Parsa's customs. However, most of these people are capable and arrogant. This is what the Parsa people have reflected their instincts.
"You don't need to know."
Without glancing at the captain, Xiusi directly turned his eyes to the group of guards looking straight at the girls. Seeing Sus's eyes, they subconsciously avoided it. If it is Oga's soldier, he must go to his superiors first, and then carefully send them away after the superior relationship is confirmed. In Parsa, there are many such masters, so soldiers are used to it. At least which one is the real master and which one is pretending can be seen at a glance.
Although this man looks young, his eyes are obviously bloody. The captain of the guard retreated sensively. Of course, this was not over. After retreating, he ordered his men to stare at the group of people, at least to find out what they were here for. This is the rule of the Parsa people.
In fact, Sius and others are not here to do anything. After entering the city, Susi arranged for others to act separately. Hu Chiyo and Lucia went to arrange a hotel, took Lilia to see the count's mansion, and Gan was arranged to go to the horse city to buy a new carriage.
The veil on Lilia's face was removed a few days ago. Because the repaired face was modified by the Marquis according to the description of Suses, the result was somewhat different from Lilia's original face. In Lilia's own eyes, she even saw the shadow of Flora's sister from this face. The girl seemed to understand something, but in the end she didn't say anything. The others only met Lilia once, and they didn't remember her specific appearance very well, so they didn't care much.
Both brother and sister wore raincoats and walked quietly on the streets that they had walked countless times in those years.
People don't know what hometown is until they go out. Lilia deeply understood the meaning of this sentence, especially now that her hometown has been burned by war. The buildings destroyed by the war can still be seen everywhere, because most young people have been drafted, leaving only some old, weak, sick and disabled.
An old man huddled under a semi-collapsed eaves to hide from the rain. I don't know if this is his former home, but now he shrinks in the corner and keeps shaking. Maybe he can't stand it before the heavy rain is over! Lilia couldn't stand it anymore and walked to the old man despite her strange eyes.
"Grandpa, I'll give you this."
Those are several Parsa silver coins, and the original Ogans needed to exchange gold marks for such silver coins. After the occupation, Parsa forcibly asked for the currency of Parsa, so that the others were blackmailed when they arrived in the town settlement. Finally, Sius directly swept away all the garrison in the village, leaving a body and taking away the silver coins of the Parsa people.
And when the old man in front of him saw the silver coin in the girl's hand, he actually showed an angry look. He suddenly reached out and grabbed the girl's collar and opened his mouth to shout something.
He was kicked in the chest without waiting to say it. Xiusi coldly glanced at the old man crawling on the ground and gasped and turned around and said nothing. This silent warning made the girl's heart cold. Indeed, if he didn't have a brother, he would probably be the same as this old man. What right do he have to pity others? But even so, the girl made a final struggle, and she handed over the silver coins again.
"Old man, we are Farsas, not Parsa, so you can take this money!"
The old man raised his gray eyes and looked at the girl. He had no expectations for life in his chaotic eyes. In the face of the money that could save his life, he didn't look at it. The old man opened his mouth and said this sentence:
"Damn it with Parsa monkey money!"
After saying that, the old man turned his head and closed his eyes. The girl's hand was stiff and she didn't know what to do. At this time, she felt a hand pressing on her shoulder. The girl turned her head and saw her brother's face in front of her. The teenager who has always been quiet said such a rare sentence:
"The war that has lasted for nearly 60 years has continued the hatred of three generations. No matter what started, the only thing that drives the war is hatred. Maybe his brothers and sisters died in the war, maybe his children were pushed to the battlefield, and maybe he was one of the few survivors from the battlefield. But for whatever reason, don't easily pity such a person. It's just an insult.
The girl looked at her brother in a blankly, and she saw the vicissitudes of life from that face for the first time. Touching her sister's eyes, Xiusi patted her on the shoulder and pulled the girl up. He didn't say the following sentence: because he is also such a person.
If he would still be furious when he saw Flora's body, then now he returns to his hometown, leaving only hatred engraved in his heart. This hatred is the most important pillar in my heart. If someone asks what the current ideal of life is, the answer will be very clear: light a fire in the imperial capital and the palace of Qianlong Cliff and send all their masters to hell.
Even if you know that hatred can only breed destruction, what else is there besides destruction in this endless war? Who is the winner? No, the winners are all dead, so there is no winner. There will never be a winner in this gamble at the cost of life. It will only keep giving birth to evil spirits who will drag everyone into hell because of despair.
Sius unconsciously arrived at the place where he often practiced swords. One spring and autumn has disappeared, and the bluestone slabs have been covered with waist-deep weeds. The bodies in the earl's mansion have been cleaned up for a long time. Because the bodies were left for too long, they would breed plague, so they were thrown outside the city and burned by fire, including Flora's.
The furniture has also been emptied. In this kind of thing, no one has cared about humanity and shame for a long time. Even the original wardrobe has disappeared. The whole count's mansion is empty, except for the knife marks and blood stains occasionally left on the wall.
Lilia walked ahead and brushed the blue-black wall with her white fingertips, and the blood stains on it that had almost disappeared. Xiusi followed silently, and the two of them didn't say a word, not that they didn't want to say anything, but that they didn't know what to say.
The morning when Moses was about to leave more than a year ago, who would have thought that there were only two youngest children left in the family. Oh, there is another one, but he has betrayed this family and his dignity.
When they came to Flora's room, they couldn't help stopping at the door. Breaking the long silence, Lilia said a sentence that had been holding in her heart:
"Brother, why didn't you come back at the beginning?"
"I'm back, but I'm late. I'm sorry."
Hys lowered his head, and he didn't want to make excuses for his mistakes. If it hadn't been because I was entangled about how to face the Dauber family, I could have rushed over quickly even if I was stopped by that person, and I was overwhelmed by Flora's death. It would be an idiot to go out to fight with the rose knight. If it was correct, Lilia should still be still in the castle at that time. If I had calmed down and found Lilia, that would not have happened.
When she heard her brother apologize, the girl just shook her head slightly and showed a miserable smile. She grabbed her heart and muttered:
"Well, no, I'm not qualified to blame anyone, because I've been saved. This life no longer belongs to me alone.
Sius looked at Lilia quietly, couldn't bear to look at her sad expression again, and pulled her into his arms.
