Li Xin's eyes fell on the line of silver writing, thought about it, and took a picture.
Looking up at the dense forest above his head, this is Kerian's "past". When he was sent away, Li Xin realized that he was about to go to the "next section".
Sure enough, the white mist quickly filled the air.
"What's in front?" said a young and crisp female voice.
"Guhu Town Donglin, Your Highness." Another calm and powerful male voice replied.
Li Xin opened her eyes and saw the forest.
look familiar.
Well, where I have beaten rabbits several times myself.
Just a few meters ahead, there was a group of people.
Li Xin saw at a glance in the middle of the team, little Marian sitting on a golden deer mount, surrounded by a dozen guards.
The little girl with silver braids had a gentle and somewhat reserved smile on her face, her lake-green eyes were bright and agile, and her every move in the middle of the team was already very early.
"Continue." Little Marianne held a small disc in one hand, glanced down, and pointed the staff ahead, "The pointer shows that you continue to move forward."
"Yes." The leading guard responded respectfully.
Li Xin followed them and saw that they passed through the East Forest to the outside of the Wild Boar Forest, and continued to walk inside.
During the period, they also encountered several beasts with short eyes, but usually the beasts were pierced by the guards' spears without even opening their mouths.
After walking through the dark forest for a while, little Marianne suddenly sat down on the neck and said softly, "Stop, this is it."
The golden deer lowered his head, bent his knees, and let the little girl jump off his back gently.
Little Marianne carried the skirt and stepped on the thick fallen leaves step by step to the lake.
Coincidentally, when Li Xin looked around, this lake was exactly where she had come and pushed the boss Golden Fox.
Little Marianne's soft skirt crosses the grass branches and dead leaves, the dark forest, the transparent lake in the forest, on the yellowish, light black, and a little fresh green grass by the lake, a silver light lies quietly on it .
Little Marianne walked towards the silver light step by step.
She stood in front of the light group and raised the small disc in her hand, "Marianne Regus, come to fulfill the promise."
As soon as the voice fell, the disc shook, released from the little girl's hand, and slammed straight into the light ball.
The silver light trembled and slowly dissipated, revealing the little boy wrapped inside.
Four or five years old.
He looks a little haggard, but his facial features are very good-looking, with soft silver short hair and long curly eyelashes hanging on his cheeks, which are as delicate as a picture.
Little Marianne folded her arms and stared at him quietly for a while, then squatted down, reached out and touched his cheek lightly, and said to herself, "I'm sick..."
"Boggart."
A guard came out silently.
"Go back and take him with you."
After all, little Marian took the mount and went to the nearest Lone Fox Town.
Li Xin followed the team and set foot on the familiar streets, houses, and old mayor of the new village.
The old town mayor took the group back to the guest accommodation in the town.
All matters were handled by the guards, and little Marianne sat in the yard with her chin propped up in a daze.
Suddenly, one person pushed open the courtyard door and walked in: "Lian, I told you not to sit like this, put your hands down."
Hearing this voice, little Marian trembled and raised her head abruptly. Seeing that the eyes of the person who came came suddenly brightened, she jumped up immediately, and rushed towards him like a swallow in the forest.
"Brother!"
The young Augus stroked her head, with a smile in his smoky gray eyes, bent down and picked up the little girl: "I haven't seen you for two months, I've grown taller."
Marianne hugged his neck, "Senior brother, why are you here?"
The young man looked at her, smiled, and didn't answer. He just carried the person into the yard, put it down at the table, walked to the other side of the table and sat down, and asked the little girl about the recent situation.
After all, little Marianne is still a little girl of eight or nine years old. It was the first time that she had to decide everything by herself, and she had to carry her image along the way. She had already accumulated a lot of words in her heart. Entered the process of can't wait to talk.
"Anyone found?" Augers asked.
Little Marianne nodded: "Well, a little boy, boy, found in the wild boar forest. When I found him, he was ill, and I have called the doctor to see him."
"Yeah." Augus nodded and asked again, "His eyes and hair..."
"I've already dyed it with the medicine my brother gave, it's permanent."
…
The two sat at the table talking, and Li Xin listened to them for a few minutes, all of which were trivial matters. Mostly Marian was talking and Augs was listening.
five minutes... ten minutes...
Li Xin finally stopped listening.
She looked around the yard, intending to see little Corian.
No matter what method, in the end, the breakthrough point will only be on him.
She had seen him put in the first room on the right side of the second staircase.
The door was ajar, and inside was a brown-haired female pharmacist who was said to be the only doctor in town at the moment.
Li Xin waited for a while, and when she was gone, she gently pushed open the door and went in.
The little boy's version of Corey lay quietly on the bed. His hair had turned into the beautiful pure blond that Li Xin had seen him for the first time.
Li Xin stared at him for a while, and was about to walk over, when she suddenly saw the eyelashes of the boy lying on the bed fluttering, and he was about to wake up.
"...Sister?...Who are you??"
The childish voice of a child rang in the room, and Li Xin froze, seeing little Kerian sitting up on the bed holding the quilt, and the little boy looked at him with surprise and curiosity with clear sky blue eyes.
Li Xin was slightly startled, looked at him unexpectedly, and then turned to pay attention to the situation in the hospital.
Fortunately, little Corian woke up, his voice was weak and small, and he was not angry, and did not attract the attention of Augs and Marianne who were talking in the hospital.
Seeing that she didn't answer, the little boy frowned, his big smart eyes circling around the room, and he asked, "... Where's my dad?"
After confirming that there was nothing unusual, Li Xin turned around again, looked at Kerian without speaking, and walked slowly to the edge of the bed.
"Sister?" Seeing that Li Xin still didn't answer, the little boy was a little anxious, his voice involuntarily raised a little bit, leaning forward to look at her eagerly: "Did you see him, elder sister, he is very tall and taller than You're a head taller... um, wear, wear something a little ragged..."
Little Corian lifted the quilt on his body and gestured with his hands anxiously.
I was worried that his voice would attract people, and then he would see himself again. Li Xin was afraid that something might go wrong, so she quickly opened the door and walked out.
Sure enough, as soon as Li Xin stood in the corridor, she saw Augus carrying Marianne down the stairs.
"Is he awake?" asked little Marianne softly, leaning on Augus' shoulder.
"I heard voices," Augus said.
When they reached the door, little Marian jumped out of Augus' arms, and the two pushed the door open together.
Li Xin followed silently, hid her body tightly behind the door, and quietly listened to the conversation in the house.
"Are you awake?" asked little Marianne.
"Who are you?" Little Corian's voice was a little nervous, not sure if it was because of the serious and rigid face of Augs who went in together.
"My name is Marian, Marian Regus, you can just call me Marian." Little Marian said softly.
"... Regus, my dad mentioned it to me." Little Corian said immediately, "He said... Where's my dad? Where's my dad? Did you see it?"
The house was quiet for a while.
After a long while, little Marian's voice sounded, and she said, "Your father... Well, he can't come back."
There was a suffocating silence.
After a while, little Corian said in a crying voice, although he was crying, he was unexpectedly calm and mature: "He is dead, right?"
Neither Marianne nor Augus spoke.
Only Corian continued, choking on and off: "… My dad told me that if one day I opened my eyes and found that he wasn't with me and couldn't find him anywhere, then he must be dead... Dead, just another I can't come back either, so I don't have to look for him again."
Li Xin nodded slightly and looked at the scene inside the house. In this direction, little Marian was facing her gaze, her lake-green eyes were staring at little Corian, her eyes as clear as water were full of sympathy and pity.
Little Corian cried for a while, then choked up and asked, "Then how did he... how did he die? Here, where is this place? I remember we were in a dark wood..."
The room was silent for a while.
After a long while, Marianne spoke up, the little girl's face had an obvious guilty conscience: "Well... Your father is a hunter, and the hunter is hunting in the forest... He encountered powerful animals... He has never hunted, in order to protect you, At once… "
Little Corian cried even louder, asking intermittently as he cried, "What... Orion, my dad, my dad never told me..."
"Orion... is someone who stays in the forest all the year round." Little Marian whispered.
"Then I... My dad is a hunter, and we've been in the forest... woohoo."
In the sight of Li Xin behind the door, little Marian's face was visibly relieved.
Augus, who was standing beside her, frowned, but said nothing.
"Yes, it's a hunter, and your family... lives in this town." Little Marian followed his words.
Little Corian raised his head: "I... my house?"
"Yes." Little Marianne lowered her eyes slightly, and her curled eyelashes covered the clear blue eyes that the boy looked over. "We are your father's friends. When you are healed, we will take you home."
Little Kerian was seriously ill. He just woke up and cried for a long time when he heard the bad news. At this moment, his spirit was already lethargic, and he quickly fell asleep.
Little Marianne looked at his sleeping face, a youthful face with an age-inappropriate complexity.
After a long while, she said, "Let's go, brother."
The two walked downstairs, and the young Augus frowned and asked, "Aren't you going to take him back?"
Little Marianne pursed her lips, her pink cheeks puffed up slightly, she shook her head and whispered, "He can't go back."
"You want him to stay here?"
"… Um."
Augus stopped, leaned over and trimmed a strand of her hair that had slipped for her. His smoky gray eyes looked at her quietly, and after a while, he said, "Okay. I'll make arrangements."
