Chapter 1687 Interlaced in the meeting forty-two
Darkness.
The deeper the darkness.
With the vortex rhythm, there is nothing in the deep darkness, but it is thick like a muddy swamp, with a suffocating weight, pressing the boy out of breath.
It drags it deeper into the abyss, where only sin sinks endlessly.
Man is always swallowed by the abyss of his own creation.
Again and again, indefinitely. The teenager screamed silently under the heavy pressure, begging for help, but he was always unable to obtain redemption.
Then he sank, squashed under the dark water.
Ah! Daniel jumped up from the bed, sweating all over his head.
Dusk, quiet, with the scent of dinner wafting around.
The boy came to his senses at this time, and now he is in his room.
Although the house is dilapidated and the bed is hard and wobbly, it seems that it will fall apart at any time, but it is full of the atmosphere of home.
Everything just now seemed to be a nightmare, a nightmare that lasted for a long time, and Daniel woke up at this time, and now nothing has changed.
Ah, do you know you wake up to eat without calling? It seems to hear the movement in the room, and a voice outside the room is speaking.
Daniel was stunned for a moment, then he tilted his head nonchalantly. The voice was all too familiar to him, because it was his mother's voice. Although he felt a little strange for a moment, after thinking about it, isn't it normal to hear his mother's voice in his own home?
The boy got out of bed, pushed the door open, and found that dinner was ready. They were all food made from poor ingredients, but each meal was cooked by his mother, and the poor ingredients eventually turned into delicious meals. The slightly diluted wild vegetable soup is still hot, and white steam is rising under the afterglow of the setting sun, making people move their index fingers.
Corn soup, unleavened bread, a small piece of boiled pork cut into thirds. Today's meal was exceptionally rich, at least for the Daniels' family. The teenager was a little stunned, and asked casually: What a rich meal, is Dad coming back for dinner tonight?
Yes. He seems to have been promoted and his salary has risen a little, so I decided to cook a rich meal to help him. Daniel's mother said while pouring the corn soup into three broken bowls. She seems to be in a particularly good mood today.
The teenager did not speak, but sat down with joy. The aroma of the food made him so hungry that his stomach was pounding, but Daniel wanted to wait for his father's return and eat together with the family.
I'm back. The slightly middle-aged knight pushed open the dilapidated wooden door of the house and walked in. As soon as he entered the room, he sniffed hard and deeply: wow, the food tonight is very good! I can't wait to eat it first.
Then the knight sat down beside his son, and his big hand rubbed **** his son's head: Daniel, did you work hard at the apprentice knight school today?
Of course there is. The boy replied: I will work very hard, and I will definitely become a great knight like you.
Hahahaha, I'm looking forward to it. The knight laughed.
Dinner time passed quickly, the family's meal time was spent in fullness and chatting and laughing, and the young man rushed to an incomparable peace and happiness, as if he had never felt this kind of happiness in his life. When he was chatting and laughing with his parents, tears began to fall from the corners of his eyes for no reason.
What's the matter, Daniel? Is there any discomfort in your body? Seeing his son suddenly cry, his parents were a little surprised.
No. Alas, that's weird, what the **** is wrong with me? The teenager wiped away his tears embarrassedly, even though he didn't even know why he was crying.
Isn't the happiness in sight all inevitable? All this is his daily life, just the life that an ordinary civilian teenager has been living, right?
However, why does he suddenly feel that this kind of life is a kind of unattainable happiness? Why did he suddenly feel so much?
The ordinary life in front of him, this ordinary daily life, is obviously inevitable and taken for granted. And who should be afraid of things that are taken for granted, suddenly afraid that it might all fall apart?
Sorry, I think I'm just suddenly stupid. I went to the bathroom to wash my face. The boy stood up from the table.
Daniel. Just as the boy was about to leave the table, his knight father said: "Don't be afraid of anything, my son." Everything will be fine, everything will be. I got a promotion, my salary would increase, and the Order would put me in a safer place to do all the paperwork, and I would never have to patrol the outside again. From now on we don't have to be poor again, everything will be fine.
Hmm. The young man answered in a low voice and walked into the bathroom.
Yes, everything will be fine. There is no sadness here, no misfortune, some just belong to teenagers, small happiness, plain daily life. All this is a matter of course, there will be no deviation, and he can live in this small, plain happiness forever.
This is his daily routine.
After dinner, a family of three happily sat in front of the sand watching TV. The fireplace beside it was glowing, enough to light up the room even if the lights were not turned on. Everything was so peaceful and so natural, the young man even felt that time seemed to stand still at this moment forever, and this moment was eternal.
I want this kind of day to last forever. The young man thought silently. Once again, there were tears in the corners of his eyes. However, in this dark room, focusing on the funny TV shows on the TV screen, his parents, who were only giggling, could not see the boy crying quietly.
The young man vaguely felt a certain gaze in the darkness outside the window.
He is watching. Watching all this secretly.
He is envious when we have the mundane happiness we call everyday.
And we can't give him anything.
Days go by day by day. The teenager lived happily every day in the ordinary days. Although poor, their family of three is not so poor that they can't open the pot. Although busy, the boy's father always finds time to spend with his family. All of this may not be too beautiful, but it is not difficult. The inexplicable sadness and loss that surged up in the boy's heart at first have been forgotten, leaving only a piece of tranquility.
However, he still felt a sight from time to time, someone was secretly observing his life in the dark, watching everything about him, his ordinary and happy daily life.
Whose sight is that sight?
He felt as if he had forgotten something, something important. But since that thing was so important, how could he forget it?
Daniel? Daniel! Seeing that the young man was in deep thought, the young man's father recalled his son back to reality with a little displeasure: What are you stunned for? It's rare that I invited the Knights to take a day off. In order to accompany you on your birthday, do you plan to spend the whole day like this?
Sorry. The young man came back to his senses, reached out and clenched the fishing rod. That's right, he was accompanying his father fishing in the river. This is a sunny holiday, the sun is shining and the air is fresh and cheerful, which is just suitable for fishing by the river.
I know what you're thinking, Daniel. The father looked at his son and whispered: That sight is bothering you again, isn't it?
Well, the boy responded vaguely.
Then don't let it bother you. The father tried to explain the boy: I know, always knew. Although we still live in the slums, our life is better than most people in the slums. In this case, there will always be some people looking at you with envious eyes. They are jealous of you, want to see you fail, want to see you unfortunate because of small things. If they see you fall from happiness to misery again, their minds will be balanced and they will be happy. So they'll be watching you all the time, just watching, but not daring to do anything.
But you know what? It doesn't matter, let them see enough. With your parents around, you will never be unhappy again. One day, we will leave this ghetto and live a normal and simple life. Then we can get rid of it all, get rid of those pesky glances.
I don't know, the boy muttered in a low voice. His father's words sounded perfectly correct on the surface. But the young man felt vaguely in his heart that there seemed to be something wrong with those words. Although he felt that something was wrong, he didn't know what was wrong, so he silently nodded and admitted.
Until that look becomes more noticeable.
The teenager continued to bow his head to fish, hoping to catch a big fish for today's birthday dinner.
Until that look is no longer just a look, but a word.
Don't ignore me.
The teenager felt the rod moving.
Look at me.
It was a slight tremor, not from the bite of the fish, nor from the impact of the current. It was shaking out of thin air.
Listen to me. Listen carefully.
It was as if there was some inaudible sound around, shaking the air and shaking the water.
You don't belong here.
The afternoon sun warmed his back, but the boy gasped, as if thinking of something.
Save me. Save yourself!
As if he hesitated, he finally spoke up: I seem to hear someone calling for help?
Save the world!
For help? The boy's father looked suspiciously at the direction the boy was looking at ~IndoMTL.com~ The far east sky was clear and cloudless, neither the sound of the war nor the smoke of gunpowder could be heard. It doesn't look like there is an emergency.
But I didn't hear anything? Are you sure you heard correctly? the boy's father asked.
For safety's sake, the teenager stood up from the stone by the river where he was sitting ignorantly, intending to go over to check what happened.
Don't go. However, the boy's father said that the kind of unnecessary help, just leave it alone. Maybe a false positive? And it happens to be one of the patrol routes of the Knights Patrol. The patrol will pass by the area around this time every day. If someone asks for help, just hand it over to them.
But
Father calmly persuaded: Daniel, this is your birthday, and I am also a vacation that I finally got. Let's not disrupt our original plans for such a small thing, okay?
The boy frowned. Although his father's words were very reasonable, at this moment, the boy finally realized the problem.
