April 7th, 59th Year of the Black Luman Calendar
Eastern Dargan Kingdom
At the beginning of summer, the blue sky like lake water, only a few faint white clouds dotted on it, the temperature has warmed up, but it hasn't really started to heat up, and the refreshing cool breeze in the afternoon is refreshing. Vibrate.
In the woods, there are the sounds of insect courtship, the chirping of birds attracting their companions, and a small snoring sound.
"Ha...Ha...Hhoo!" Finally, the girl couldn't help but sneezed, opened her lazy eyes a little, and went to sleep again.
"Innocent and lovely girl, her blushing cheeks are comparable to the red roses in the mountains and forests, and even the elves in the forest will fly in admiration. Travelers passing by want to ask you, where is Sternke going?"
A soft and pleasant voice sounded melodiously. The girl opened her eyes and saw a beautiful and graceful traveler, holding a thin gray donkey in her hand, standing not far away, smiling to herself Had a hat-off ceremony.
"Hello, big sister."
A trace of astonishment flashed across Xiuya the traveler's melon seed face, and then it turned into a bewildered embarrassment. "I am very happy to be praised by beautiful women, but I am a man!"
"Is Big Brother a bard?"
"Yes! I am a poet who wanders around and brings joy to all places." He was mentioned about his profession, but then dropped his shoulders in frustration, "It's just that I'm a down-and-out poet who didn't even have three meals. ."
Seeing the traveler's various funny expressions, the girl smiled softly, took the bread from her pocket and handed it to him.
"Have you not eaten yet?"
"I haven't eaten anything for a day and a half." The traveler took the bread and chewed it unceremoniously. The girl looked at the man in front of her, but her demeanor was still unspeakable. She was obviously well-educated. Although the cloak on her body was dirty, the piano behind her was well maintained, which seemed to prove his identity.
The girl is very excited. The bard is a respected profession on the mainland. It is mostly held by down-and-out nobles and educated commoners. They travel everywhere, singing beautiful epics and beautiful chants. Songs go in and out of the wealthy and noble rooms, but they also pass on knowledge to the general public, and sometimes use magic to help people heal diseases.
Sometimes, in order to train their next generations, the royal family of certain principalities will order them to travel everywhere as poets. Among them, there are many heroes who will be powerful and powerful in the future. These people exist. , For the profession of bard, cast a layer of romantic veil.
In the girl’s village, poets will come only on major festivals. She still remembers how the women in the village danced to the sound of melodious poetry during the harvest festival last year.
The gray donkey lowered his head to graze on the side, as if dissatisfied with his master's shabbyness, he kept shaking his head.
"Huh! Thank you so much, I haven't eaten for a long time. This guy can still be solved by eating grass, but I can only eat bamboo on one side." After a full meal, the traveler patted his stomach with satisfaction.
"Are you full? Do you want more?"
"Enough is enough. Kind-hearted girl, to thank you for your generosity, I decided to tell a story as a thank you gift." As he said, playing the piano skillfully, the traveler sang loudly in the clear sound of the piano.
"In the depths of the remote snow-capped mountains..." "Hey! I have heard this story. It is the story of the great sage Kadar lifting the spell of Sleeping Princess!"
"Ah! Have you heard of it? What about the missing of fifteen people in the bronze city in the western desert?"
"Also heard."
"Then... Where is the pirate king's treasure on Hunu Island overseas?"
"I have heard it. Why do you only tell the story of Kadar!"
"Because the great sage has the most stories!"
After changing the beginning of four or five consecutively, the girls all smiled and shook their heads. The traveler couldn't help scratching his head in confusion.
"Ah! I really lost to you. I'm running out of stories I know."
"You really are a second-rate poet! You only know these old stories."
"That's why I didn't even have three meals."
My professional ability was denied, and the traveler was a little angry. He turned his head and thought about it. He said with joy, "There is a riddle, you must not know. Excuse me, how do I put an elephant in the cabinet?" he added immediately. , "Only three actions can be used!"
"Hard plug."
"Not right."
"Use your feet."
"Still wrong."
"Saw with a saw."
"Why are you so cruel?"
After answering a few answers, they were all wrong, and the traveler smiled and said: "None are right, do you want me to announce the answer?"
"Don’t say it yet, I’ll definitely come up with the answer, but I’m a little confused now, I can’t answer it. By the way, didn’t you ask Stenk’s way? Go straight ahead and cross this Shulin, turn left at the three-way intersection."
"Really don't want me to say the answer?"
"Really don't."
Seeing the girl's stubborn expression, the traveler laughed blankly and said with a smile: "Then, next time we meet, you can tell me the answer." Pulling the reluctant donkey, the traveler turned and left.
"My name is Ropin Roxley, where is the name of the poet's brother?"
"Wandering on the four sides of the mainland, accompanied by the breeze of freedom, the flying notes bring laughter and blessings to the people. Someone asked his name and surname. That is a legend that only exists in whispers. This voice is called Chino."
Kino is a famous **** of play in the land of the wind. He is funny and loves to play. He is indispensable in all celebrations. Travelers use this name as the name, which naturally means not to keep his real name.
After laughing loudly for a long time, she suddenly fell silent. Listening to the sound of hoofs going away, the girl couldn't help but feel a little lost.
"Ruoping... Ruoping..." "I am here."
A dark boy ran over, panting.
"Kexin. Why are you looking for me?"
"Miss Liya is looking for you."
"I just came out, don't you worry about my sister?"
Kexin didn't speak, just pointed his hand to the sky, and saw red clouds glowing in the sky. It was already dusk.
"Ah! Oops, I forgot the time." Ruoping exclaimed. "I'm going back, Kexin, let's go with you too!"
"Wait a minute."
Suddenly, a delicate little purse was stuffed into her palm. Before Ruoping had time to react, Kexin blushed and ran away in the opposite direction. While running, she turned her head and made a grimacing face.
"Rupin Locksley, I hate you the most." One accidentally fell, and immediately got up and rushed into the woods without a trace.
Ruoping stayed on the spot, "What are you doing!"
Tossing the little purse, Ruoping hummed a little tune, and strolled home. On the little purse, gold silk intertwined and embroidered with quaint embroidery. It is a valuable boutique, and it is definitely not something you can buy in the ordinary country. Kexin is the only son of the village chief. Only when he has the opportunity to enter the city, he has the money and opportunity to buy it.
"I will show my sister this thing later, to make her happy." Ruoping walked happily, playing with this rare luxury.
In Ruoping’s house, there are only two people: she and her sister Liya. Ruoping has no impression of the parents who died prematurely in her sister’s words, and only has the memory of constantly moving when she was a child. On weekdays, Liya takes care of her livelihood by hand. In addition, she teaches Ruoping to read and read. She is already twenty-five years old. She rejects all admirers' pursuits and concentrates on living with Ruoping.
"Sister, you should quickly find a brother-in-law!"
"My sister is so ugly, where would anyone want it." Whenever Ruoping asks, Liya always refuses with a faint smile. If there is a layer of sorrow that cannot be erased on her beautiful and elegant face.
Tipping into the yard, the smoke rising from the chimney, trying to scare my sister, suddenly, a loud noise came from the house.
"You don't want to think that I am injured, so you dare not kill you. The sesame and mung bean-like troops guarded here are not in my eyes."
"You killed me, let the wind leak out, and under the arrest net of the hunters, you are no more than a hundred days' life."
Ruoping was shocked on the spot. In her memory, no matter what the occasion, her elder sister always whispered very educatedly, but now, although her tone is still calm, there is something in her cold sentence. The tit-for-tat, uncompromising semantics made her feel horrified.
The other man's voice is even more weird, very deep, with a strange cold tone in his tone, making people shudder.
"Dead girl, let you forget all the training you received before." There was a crisp sound, as if some utensils were being smashed, followed by the sound of cloth tearing.
"You...what do you want to do...ah..." Ruoping quietly looked in from the gap in the window and saw the scene inside, only to be frightened.
A black back, standing with holding hands, dressed very strangely, with a black cloak without any wind.
"The temper is as tough as before, huh, let me ask you, what about our kid?"
When it comes to the child, Liya's face changes suddenly, but she still doesn't say anything.
"Huh! See how long you will endure?" Pushing his hand, the fragments pierced even more, and the pain became more severe.
Ruoping couldn't bear it anymore, she picked up a stick used as firewood and rushed into the room as a stick.
"Don't hit my sister." Before the voice fell, Ruoping hadn't had time to react. She was knocked back by the reaction force and fell heavily on the wall.
"Sadaka, don't hurt her." Liya exclaimed.
Ruoping reluctantly stood up, only to see that Sadaka, the man in black, had turned around, and her two blood-red eyes shrouded her like a wave of evil power.
"Oh! Is this the kid?" Sadaka said coldly. Although his tone was cold, the discerning person could feel the excitement after deliberate suppression.
"Come on! Come on!" Ruoping shouted loudly. Although she was panicked, she knew that the enemy in front of her was not something she could deal with, so she hurriedly called for help and led the villagers to come. Sure enough, Sadaka's hands trembled, and he couldn't help being scared.
Liya on the side didn’t think so. Sadaka’s fierceness was not something Ruoping could understand. At this moment, his eyes were fierce, and his hands trembled, showing that he was already gathering mana. Come kill in one fell swoop. Resisting the pain, Liya gritted her teeth and said: "You have seen what you want, and I agree to your conditions, please leave first." As a last resort, I hope he weighs the severity and avoids it first.
Seeing that Sadaka hesitated for a while, he coldly snorted: "Remember what you said." He didn't see how he moved, and the black shadow disappeared.
Outside the window, a black mark quickly disappeared to the west.
"What happened?"
"Miss Liya, are you all right!" There was a noise, and the villagers came to check it out.
Liya put on a long gown, walked to the window, reluctantly said: "It's okay, I just burned a shirt on fire. I bother you folks."
As soon as everyone saw nothing, they dispersed.
Ignoring her own injuries, Liya first helped Ruoping and asked anxiously: "Is there any injury? Does it hurt?"
Ruoping bit her lip and said, "I'm fine, sister, your wound..." Liya smiled miserably, shook her head, and opened her top. She saw the fragments penetrated by about half an inch, and the blood was still flowing from her left shoulder. Can't stop the exodus.
Enduring the pain, Liya yanked out the fragments, and blood shot out. "Sister!" Ruoping said anxiously.
Liya covered the wound with gauze, and said tiredly: "Don't worry, sister is okay!" Then she said in a low voice, "Today's matter, in any case, should not be mentioned to others, no one should be allowed. Do you know?"
Ruoping nodded, but her doubts deepened.
That night, Ruoping was too frightened, and she was lying ill at home, feeling cold and feverish, staying connected for several days, and could not get out of bed at all.
At this time, in the always calm village, something horrifying and inexplicable happened. From Ruoping's illness, every morning, before the **** crows, there is a young girl who is lost for no reason. No matter how much the villagers searched, they could not find their whereabouts.
The missing women were all sixteen or seven years old. This gave the villagers a certain association and panic.
One, two, three, four, five, for five days in a row, there have been five pure and beautiful young girls, who have been murdered, and anxious villagers have formed a self-defense team. They searched around at night, but they were still in vain. , When the rooster crowed loudly on the sixth day, the sixth girl also joined the ranks of the missing.
"Devil! This must be the devil!" the excited village chief murmured to himself. Although they guarded every way out of the village, they didn't even touch the shadow of the enemy, so they had no choice but to lean towards ghosts and gods.
"What should I do? There are no monks and no magicians..." After all, they are just ordinary people, and they naturally have the most primitive sense of awe for things beyond human abilities.
Ruoping also feels anxious. This is not only for the missing person, but also for her friends. In fact, since that day, Liya, who had never left her house, began to carry a pile of food at noon every day. Go out with wound medicine until evening.
Faced with Ruoping's question, Liya just smiled bitterly. Sometimes Ruoping was sure that behind the thin wall of soil, her sister's sobbing came, very quietly, very quietly. This made Ruoping even more disturbed, and she vaguely felt that the matter had something to do with Sadaka that day.
However, not everything is so bad. In the series of fears, there is something that makes Ruoping very happy. Since the second day of her illness, every morning, there will be delicately woven garlands. Being placed in front of her window by the courtyard, Ruoping always bathed in the elegant fragrance of flowers every day, and didn't want to get up.
This has become Ruoping’s deepest expectation every day. She is grateful for this unknown carer and has always wanted to find an opportunity to thank him.
In the early morning of the sixth day, Ruoping, who hadn't slept all night, closed her eyes and quietly waited for the trace of the flower-giver. Before her patience was about to reach the critical point, there was a sound of fine footsteps from far and near. , The strong floral fragrance overflowed the whole room.
Ruoping opened her eyes carefully and saw a familiar back, about to leave, her dark body, quick steps, that is. . . "Hey! Kexin."
Hearing the sweet call from behind, the young man knew that the incident had happened at the east window, and his dark skin was bloody. He yelled, and hurriedly ran out at the fastest speed and fled. Seeing Kexin's reaction, Ruoping also stayed on the spot and said nothing.
I noticed the childish behavior of the two children early in the morning, and Liya, who was watching silently, laughed and laughed, and said with a smile: "This is the trouble of the fifteenth teenager!"
Surprised by her sister's abnormality, Ruoping's heart was cast with an unknown and strong shadow, as if there was a huge black hand holding her tightly, unable to let go for a long time.
In the early morning of the seventh day, Kexin made up the wreath and walked cautiously into the courtyard of Liya's house. Don't know why, he loves that from the bottom of his heart. Three years ago, when their sisters moved into this village, he was immediately attracted by the young and childlike Ruoping, with the lingering laughter like a stream, the blue eyes like crystals, and the pretty and charming appearance. It was deeply burned into Kexin's heart.
Whenever she ran into the back mountain to play, Kexin often stalked behind. At that time, Ruoping was innocent and innocent, really like an elf in the forest. When I walked to the window, I was about to put the wreath down, only to see Ruoping half lying on the bed, with a pair of lovely blue eyes, blinking and blinking at him, Qiaoxiaoqianxi, but waiting for him a long time ago. Kexin's face blushed immediately, a little wondering what to do?
"Morning! Kexin come in and sit down!"
One sentence resolved his doubts, Ke Xin moved into the house, Ruoping’s bed was placed next to a coffee table, on which rough but delicious snacks were already prepared.
"Please sit down! These snacks are made by Sister Liya, specially made for young people with unknown troubles. You must try them!" Ruoping chuckled slyly.
"Ah! Thank you, it's delicious." A little confused, Kexin blushed.
"I should be the one who said thank you. Thank you for sending me flowers for so many days. By the way, I haven't thanked you for the purse that day!"
"Do you like it?"
"I like it very much." Ruoping nodded happily. "This is the first time I have received a gift from someone else. Sister Liya is still complaining, saying that when she was young, she didn't meet such a cute little boy." She said, looking at Kexin, laughing.
Finding that his intentions have been seen through, but the other party did not refuse, Kexin calmed down and began to talk to Ruoping. The two slowly started talking and laughing. Finally, it talked about family.
"I'm so envious. Those who have brothers and sisters will not be lonely." Ruoping thought for a while, and then added, "However, I also have a good sister that no one can compare."
"Can't you remember what your parents look like?"
"I can’t remember at all. My sister said that they passed away before I have a memory." Ruoping’s eyes started to turn red, "Every time I see someone picking them home with their parents, I I tried my best to think about the appearance of mom and dad, but I can’t remember how I think about it, I can’t remember it!"
Seeing Ruoping’s appearance, Kexin was heartbroken. He gently held Yiren Rouyi and said, "From now on, let me be with you?" It was a bit abrupt, but he knew this was what he should have. Performance.
According to Kexin, Ruoping nodded happily and said, "Thank you." Suddenly, she remembered that when she was young, her sister always took herself with her and moved around, and there was no place to live. For a long time, it seems to be hiding someone, could it be. . . A stern alarm bell cut through the original peaceful and warm atmosphere. Kexin woke up in shock. He is still very vigilant. The garrison team lost another woman this morning. Now the alarm bell is ringing urgently and there must be something to call.
"I'm leaving." Kexin got up and left.
"Ah! Wait a minute." Ruoping approached her new lover, "Thank you for giving me such a wonderful memory."
Turning around abruptly, hugging Ruoping tightly, blushing, and trembling: "Ruoping...I...I..." I still don't know what happened, but I look naively. Looking at him, the desire for renewal disappeared, but he was reluctant to let go. The two embraced each other tightly, feeling the beautiful atmosphere at this moment.
