Chapter 90: bicker

Views:

There were constant crackling sounds in the church, and sometimes there were a few choking sounds. The smoke spread like mist and rushed to the door. I had to lean to the side again. Wrapped in this coat, I looked so uncomfortable. I am small, the sun is shining warmly on my body, I am tired and hungry, and my eyes are closed tiredly.

"You..." Suddenly my back was empty, and I woke up with a start. As a result, my opened eyes were facing his frown, and I couldn't help but make a sound.

"Why are you here?" He said, carrying me and walking into the church. At this time, the smoke and dust in the hall had dispersed, the surroundings were very clean, and the two people were wiping the angel statue. The Elend climbed on the angel's back, while the elder was wiping the angel's robe.

"Who are you?" Safrot walked straight ahead and walked to the holy altar. He slightly raised his eyebrows and looked at the old man and the young man.

"We are priests passing by here, who are you?" Allend stopped what he was doing and looked up condescendingly. When he saw Saffrot's eyes, he couldn't help but let go of his hands and turned from the angel. The image fell down, "You are the devil!"

"What kind of devil is there? It's broad daylight. How can there be any kind of devil? Don't talk nonsense. If you behave uprightly, you won't see the devil. It's even more impossible to see the devil in broad daylight." The elder did not turn around, just wiping himself hard. Then, the original brightness of the statue appeared in the places he wiped.

"But... But master, he is obviously the devil, a vampire among devils!" Elend couldn't help but pointed at Safrot and shouted, but Safrot looked at him with a cold face and said clearly It was the finger pointing at him that was looking at him.

"How can..." The elder turned around, but swallowed the word "can". He stared at his two deep-set gray eyes, opened his lips slightly, and swallowed deeply. Mouth and mouth.

"How is it? Master! I didn't lie to you!" Elend was not as scared as him. He got up from the ground and patted his clothes.

"But... But is there really a devil in this world?" The old priest completely hurt his eyes, but he forgot to be afraid and stared at Saffrot. Finally, he suddenly turned around, only to bump into the angel. On the statue, "Ouch!"

"Master, what's wrong with you? Why are you hitting the rocks!" Elend joked without distinction.

"You kid, you forgot what the book said, you can't look into the eyes of the devil, otherwise the devil will suck your soul away." The old priest turned his back to us and pointed at Allende.

"Then you've been looking at each other for so long. If he really could suck away souls, he would have sucked yours away long ago. I don't think he is necessarily a devil, it's just that his eyes happen to be red." Elend said. He boldly took two steps towards us, looked directly at Saffrot and asked, "Are you a devil?"

"What do you think?" Saffrot smiled coldly, carried me and turned around to the bench, then put me down, "We will only rest here for one day, and we will leave in the evening."

"It's okay, it's okay, this is not our place, but we may stay here for a while longer, so we will do a little cleaning." Allende saw that there was nothing scary about the other party, so his original temperament returned He took it out, explained it, and then extended his hand to Saffrot, "Hello, my name is Elend."

But Saffrot just gave him a cold glance and continued to turn to me, "This is the food you want!"

As he said that, he handed over another box. This time it was a lunch box. I took it and put it on my knees. I opened the box and saw that it was a piece of hot fried rice. I didn't expect that he would find such food for me. , in fact, it is something that can be solved with just a piece of dry bread.

"What? You don't like it yet?" Seeing that I didn't respond at all, he asked doubtfully.

"No, it's very good." After saying that, I started eating with the simple tableware in the box without much expression. When the ordinary Elend saw it, he interrupted in surprise, "This is not the same as before." The Baiwei rice from the town’s famous store?”

"Baiweifan? Terra Town?" I raised my head in confusion, only to meet Allende's starry eyes, staring longingly at the food in my hand.

"Elende! Elende?" The old priest called out worriedly when he saw the three of us standing together.

"Here, master, what's the matter?" Elend had no choice but to respond, took his eyes away from my food, and turned around to ask.

"He..." The old priest pointed at Saffrot, glanced at it, and then immediately moved elsewhere, "Is he really not a devil?"

"No, even though he talks coldly, it shouldn't be the devil. How can a devil look so beautiful?" Elend's tone was sometimes quite similar to Hong Wu's. No matter how big or small, even the master dares to make fun of them.

"Devils don't look beautiful, they become beautiful to confuse people." The old priest pulled Elend over, "It's better to stay away from them. Have you ever seen any human with red eyes?"

"That's not true, but what's the difference between red eyes and black, green, and blue eyes?" Allende didn't believe what the master said, shook off the master's hand, and returned to Safrot and I. Next to me, he continued to look at my food, "This is fried rice from a famous store in the small town. It is said that this kind of rice can be eaten in a hundred flavors. Everyone tastes it differently every time, so it is named It’s true that when we were in a small town, we ate it every day, and the taste was different every time.”

"Oh!" I responded, not caring whether the rice was really delicious or not. My stomach was empty now, so I would fill it with the rice first. But after taking a few bites, I suddenly raised my head and looked at him calmly. "The town ahead?"

"Yes! Speaking of which, this town is quite far away. Without other means of transportation, you have to walk for most of the day just on your feet! You can't be an old man like my master." As he said this, he secretly glanced at his master. He glanced at me and smiled back at me, "My master doesn't like people saying he is old, hehe."

"Oh!" As I said that, I continued to eat the fried rice in the box, slowly putting a spoonful into my mouth and chewing it carefully. However, he who was standing in front of him remained silent.

"Ellend, whether he is a devil or not, your work is not done yet!" the old priest couldn't help shouting.

"Master, can't you eat first and then work?" Allende looked at me eating with gusto, couldn't help but swallow my own saliva, and turned back to discuss with the master.

"No, if you don't finish your work first, there will be no food to eat today!" the old priest said, and he worked hard to wipe the table with the candlesticks behind the statue.

"Yes, Master!" Elend hung his head helplessly and climbed onto the wings of the angel statue, continuing the work he had not finished just now. And Safrot stood silently in front of me. I don’t know if he was watching me eat, but he stood like this, which made me feel very uncomfortable, so I took the box and moved to the row leader at the back. chair.

"You..." he blurted out with slight anger.

"Can't you?" I raised my eyes and stared at him coldly.

"Okay." He nodded helplessly, turned around and sat down by himself. There was no sun here, so he didn't need to unfold the virtual curtain to block the sun, so he could have a good rest.

"How is this food?" He asked intentionally, listening to me enjoying my meal.

"I told you, it's good," I replied as I ate.

"Okay, I will always prepare this food for you from now on." He said firmly.

"You..." The spoon that was brought to my mouth was placed in the box involuntarily. I raised my eyes and ended up facing the back of his head.

"What? No?" He didn't answer, seeming to be looking at the angel statue, "Didn't you say this food is good?"

"Even if it's good, you'll get tired of it if you eat it every day." His cold voice made me angry and I couldn't help but yell.

"Then just eat every other day." His more ruthless answer came. My heart felt a stabbing pain, and the simple tableware in my hand broke into pieces. A voice in my heart said that if it were the former Saffrot, he would definitely not be like this.

"What's the matter? What happened?" Elend poked his head out from behind the angel and asked.

"Nothing." I stood up and put the box in Saffrot's hand, "I'm full."

"But..." Saffrot looked at the box and frowned, "I haven't finished eating yet."

"Don't you just want me to live? You will definitely not die of hunger after eating these." I replied to him, then turned around and walked into the small door on the inner wall of the church. In fact, I was not curious at all about this dilapidated little church. , I just don’t want to stay with him, and I don’t know when he will say something that hurts my heart.

It turns out that it is really difficult to let him live in my heart now.

I can't help but think about the past, what Saffrot was like back then, and what he is like now.

I didn’t want to think about anything anymore. I didn’t have to think about anything until I saw him. After walking into the small door, there was a small corridor with two adjacent rooms. The door was closed, but it didn’t open after I pushed it, so I kept walking towards the end of the corridor. Go, I guess there will be stairs to the top of the church.

As I expected, there was a small door closed at the end of the corridor. There was an iron pin on the door. I pulled the pin and the door opened by itself. In front of me was a small black staircase, rising straight up. I groped slowly. After all, there was no light here at all. With my human eyes, I couldn't see the way forward. But fortunately, except for the unpleasant smell, there was no break in the stairs. Every step I took They all landed smoothly until there was some trouble at the corner. At this time, I was like a blind man, stretching out my hands and touching the four walls. Finally, I decided on the direction and turned around, continuing upward. However, after making two turns, I finally saw it. A ray of light should be refracted in from the window upstairs.

Now that there was light in front of me, I naturally speeded up a bit, but my right foot that suddenly fell down became weak, and my body became unstable. I couldn't help but fall forward, and my reading shoulder reached the wall, "Ah!" (To be completed) Continued)
