Light Spirit Epic Chapter 2352: Lost to the Jedi (13)
Chapter 2352 Lost in the Jedi (thirteen)
------A Dream of Roses------
[God gave her a face, but she made another for herself. ]
[How much pain, how much remorse, are hidden under that mask. ]
A certain day of a certain year, in a remote village in the Dark Continent.
"Mommy! Look!" The child happily rushed into the house from the outside, covered in mud and soiled the floor of the cabin.
Instead of blaming her son, the woman turned around with a smile: "What's the matter, Sabo?"
"Happy birthday, Mommy!" Rabbit boy raised what he was holding, it turned out to be a rose.
Light blue, translucent petals, an extremely rare species of rose. This kind of rose is called "aromatic hydrocarbon" by the locals. Although it is very rare, it has an extremely strong vitality like most of the plants and trees in the dark area. It bowed its head and bent over, willing to be crushed.
This seemingly fragile, but unexpectedly tenacious, illusory rose is named after her. Because she had no memory when she first came here, her name was given to her by her husband.
Fantine? What a fitting name.
"Thank you, Sabo. This flower is beautiful." The woman smiled and said, "We will plant it in the backyard of our house. When next spring arrives, maybe we will have a beautiful flowerbed in our backyard. ."
"Okay, Mommy!" The little bunny, who was only a few years old at that time, smiled brightly.
As a foreigner, she was not qualified to have a place in this village at all. Or because her husband accepted her, the people in the village reluctantly let her stay. Now that her husband has become a soldier of the orc coalition, fighting on the front line, the situation around her is getting more and more complicated, and she can't help but worry. But her husband was a soldier anyway, and having military glory—even if it was just a tiny bit—could still bring good to the family. Her husband's hard work on the front line has made it possible for her and her children to have enough food to eat without starving to death, and to cover their heads with tiles, so that they won't experience wind and frost. Therefore, no matter how difficult the life was or how hard the work in the village was, she could endure it.
But it didn't last long.
"You must be joking with me." She fixed her eyes on the tiger man officer, her face turning ashen: "You can't do this. This is his house, ours, and you have no right to take it back. !"
"His house, that's right." The officer's face was grim, even cruel, like a real beast: "But not yours and your son's house. He's already dead, still with disgrace The way he died. Since he has no legal heir, his estate is about to be seized by the coalition forces, including this house."
"No!" She said anxiously: "I'm his wife. Even if he doesn't have the right to inherit the house, his son Sabo should at least have this right? Are you kidding me? Confiscated our property casually?"
"Madam, there is no legal marriage certificate between you and him on the record. The marriage between the two of you was not recognized in the first place, and the child was the product of [unplanned]. At that time, we let you have a child, It's already the maximum tolerance, you don't have to go far."
Her complexion became extremely ugly.
"...Is there really no way to keep this house?" She whispered, "Winter is coming. You know better than anyone else that if we let our mother and son leave the village like this and go to the wilderness If we go, we are sure to die."
The officer shook his head, his fascinated eyes fell on the ditch on her chest from beginning to end.
"Unless------" The officer laughed suddenly.
"Unless?"
"They do, do, have a plan to convert this place into a sanatorium for senior officers, so that officers who have just returned from the front line have a place to relax in just a few days. I It is true that you can think of a way to let your mother and son stay here as servants and continue to live, but... how can I say it? That depends on your good fortune."
The tigerman officer suddenly put his palm on the woman's shoulder, and his face was hideous, like a wild beast catching its prey: "That's right, [Sophia's Blue Rose]. Even if it's just a rabbit, even if it's a fierce one. In terms of aesthetics of the Ya clan (tiger people), you can be regarded as a peerless beauty."
"Sir, sir?! What are you trying to do! Please show some respect!" she exclaimed.
"Respect? For you who suddenly appeared here without any support, you and your children eat our precious food, drink our precious water, occupy our precious land, but are unwilling to do anything Giving——I didn't kick you out right away, I respect you already!" He pressed her on the table with a fierce look in his eyes: "If you really want to stay here, at least do something for the coalition forces. Contribute and prove that you are someone worthy of staying!"
"Wait, what, what?! Stop it! I'm going to call someone!"
"Then shout." The tigerman officer tore up the woman's shirt while grinning, and put his hand on her chest: "Don't you know how the people in the village treat you? Your son is there Sleeping in the next room, what will he do when he wakes up and sees you like this? I'm looking forward to it."
Her expression became more serious, because the other party's words were too correct, and she had no way to refute.
"Hehehehe...let the uncle play." The officer had put his dirty body up, hugged her tightly, and licked her face with his tongue: "Tonight Just serve me well. If the service is good enough, it's okay to let you guys stay here. I'll report today's experience truthfully and let them know how wonderful you are. Then, maybe, they'll consider staying. You mother and son."
Tears clouded her eyes: "You bunch of... beasts...!"
"Yes, we are beasts. But what are you who are kept in captivity by the beasts?" Even if the other party didn't want to, the officer still pressed the woman with all his strength and kissed her forcefully: "Isn't it? Are they worse than animals?"
Days go by day by day. The child has grown from a child who has never been more important, to gradually, vaguely understand something.
He didn't understand why some unfamiliar uncles would visit his house every once in a while, and he didn't leave until tomorrow morning. He seems to understand now;
He didn't understand why the smell of sweat, blood, and a strange fishy smell on those uncles lingered on his mother the next morning. He seems to understand now;
He didn't understand why his mother kept avoiding him and never dared to look him in the eye, but now he understands.
He was trying his best to avoid her, just as she dared not look him in the eye. Otherwise, once he accidentally sees her staring out the window at the hazy sky, all he sees is pain.
As time goes by, everything decays.
The house has grown dilapidated over time, but has never been funded to repair it, so its exterior is as cracked as a decades-old home.
The only thing that remains intact here is the small flowerbed at the back of the house, and the roses that are stubbornly growing in the flowerbed. The blue rose known as [Aromatic Hydrocarbon], even if it has been devastated by wind and rain, still stands upright, stands upright for its own shelter, and once a year, blooms beautiful flowers, in this dark and shabby world, Add a touch of melancholy pale blue.
Fantine.
His mother may not be as beautiful as he remembered, but now sitting there, looking at everything outside the window thoughtfully, she is still the most beautiful woman in the world, with her old, tired and dazed face .
Now, the most beautiful woman in the world, her legs and feet are inconvenient, and her eyes are becoming more and more invisible, but she still insists every day, taking care of the flowers and plants in the garden in the backyard of the house, taking the branches of her most beloved roses, Well organized.
She may have learned to live with despair, but he has not. He knew the risks involved in challenging despair, and he knew he was only a mortal, but he had to do it.
[slut. bitch], [slut. woman], [prostitute. woman]. He tried to wipe off the insulting words written in chalk, charcoal, and paint near the flowerbed, looked at the hostile villagers who were hiding in the distance, and walked back to the house calmly. His mother's eyes were not good, which should have been a misfortune, but he secretly felt a little lucky, because at least she could not see the vicious curses written by the villagers.
They don't understand anything.
"Mom, I have decided to join the coalition."
"Even you..."
"It's useless to stop it." The bunny boy said flatly: "I'll win honor for our family... again. Then let you live a good life."
She turned her head, red eyes, and looked at her son with those godless eyes, as if she had seen through all the illusions in the world.
"If you think you're right, go for it, Sabo." She said, "Just, don't look back.
Mom is not your burden, and you don't need to do anything for her.
Be yourself and be happy.
Don't live for others, live for yourself.
Parents have invested their entire lives in you because we have no future, no hope, and you have.
You are our greatest glory, our highest achievement, our brightest future.
So------
"
She turned pale, and the world grew darker.
"If one day, we are all gone.
Please be alone and be happy.
Please live alone.
That's my parents' greatest wish.
"
The teenager blinked incomprehensibly, as if he was having a long nightmare.
"What nonsense are you talking about, Mom?" He walked into his mother lovingly, reaching out and trying to touch her old face: "I will take good care of you. You paid for me. So much, I haven't had time to repay it yet.
Wait, I will try my best.
Wait, hard work will pay off.
You've worked so hard for so many years, it's time to enjoy yourself.
Happy days~IndoMTL.com~ will definitely come...
...Pro? "
He reached out, but couldn't touch anything, all he touched was a phantom, thin as smoke.
Mother was smiling at him, but her image faded away as the phantom faded away.
But that smile is as lasting as the blue rose that blooms every year.
"Mom...?"
Sabo opened his eyes to find tears welling up in his eyes. He seemed to have had a very sad dream, and when he woke up, he couldn't remember exactly what happened. He found himself lying on the sofa, but there was a burning pain in his lower abdomen, accompanied by the dull feeling brought by the anesthetic, but it was still burning.
"Wake up?" Daniel sat on the tattered chair beside him, staring at Sabo.
