Chapter 23 Chapter 23 Dark Water

However, Mayor Magu still made a condition—until Gen's injury recovered, he should not approach the "Swamp of Sadness".Accepting conditions is not difficult.The trauma medicine made with "tears" works miraculously, and no matter how long it takes, it only takes ten days to recover. During the period, he visited the factory where the 'tears' were refined, learned some skills himself, and went around the town.In Tiazheyun, there was a "rustling" sound every morning and evening, and it rained for less than an hour.Therefore, the water storage tanks that receive rainwater in the whole town are all exhausted, and there is no shortage of materials for filtering.

A shiny, smooth white cloth is used to refine the rain.These white cloths are also hand-woven by the residents of this town.There is a special weed called "Khuhurnai", whose fibers can be spun to make threads, and it is said that this alone is a very high-end product.In fact, people who work in the "Tears" factory must wear this kind of "Khurnai" overalls, and it is said that the money for this overalls is enough to live easily in Nahato, where prices are cheap. one Year. According to the mayor, Sadami worked in the textile factory of 'Khurnai' cloth, not in the water factory.The weaving factory also requires concentration, perhaps it is suitable for women, and most of the weavers in the factory are women.Sarah was here most of the time except in her mother's ward.Maybe because there is Sadami here, they care and take care of her.As soon as Gen saw her, he took the initiative to say hello, saying "hello", "what are you playing", etc., but Sarah seemed to admit it, either immediately dodged, or hid behind the adult next to her, always difficult to get close to.

There are very few children in Tiazheyun Town, and there are very few people who stay here as husband and wife or families.It is said that the overwhelming majority came alone, and many of them have not communicated with the outside world for a long time. "However, it's normal to think about it. I'm deeply sad because of family members or friends around me, or lose family members, and friends become the cause of sadness-no matter what the situation is, I am alone. When I first parasitized this town, Not only sad, but also lonely." That's what the gatekeeper said.The gatekeeper belongs to the orc family, named Bhutto.He claimed to be born in Najato, and his real identity was a homeless person. He was not a local resident, but a hired worker of the mayor of Magu.

"About five years ago. At a checkpoint on the way of wandering, I met a man who said he wanted to go to Tiaz Heyun, but he was worried that it would be unsafe to go alone, so I sent him here." It is said that Bhutto lived here. "There are mostly women here, and the few men are busy with the physical work of fetching and transporting water. There are not enough men to guard the gate and patrol, so the mayor came to me." Gen thought to himself, although he is a kind-hearted person with a good impression, maybe he is very strong in his hands. "I was a homeless person when I was sensible. I have always been single, so I don't feel lonely. Maybe it's weird. If loneliness is nothing more than that, it is by no means a harmful thing, but when combined with anger or sadness, It turned into a very bad thing."

At noon, Gen and Bhutto sat together by the door.He was smoking a cigarette rattling, while Wataru was dangling his legs. "It's no big deal as a gatekeeper. If someone comes from the main road, check whether he is a guest of Tiaz Heyun. If so, open the door; if not, wave goodbye. If Dalu Baba comes, Just helping to move and unload goods. That’s all. The rest of the time, just basking in the sun.” Why didn't Bhutto leave here?Tramps have wild minds, don't they?Is it sympathy for the people of this town that keeps him here?Just as Gen was thinking, a blurry figure appeared on the main road from Boao.The figure quickly approached.Someone is riding an Uda.

"Hi!" Bhutto put his hands around his mouth and shouted, "Pedestrians over there, are you working in Tiaz Heyun?" The rider of Wuda left the rein with one hand, swung it wildly and shouted back, "I am a merchant. Do you need my help?" "Do you have a cigarette?" "Yes, yes. There are many kinds." The merchant is a young man of the Anka tribe. His container contains not only cigarettes, but also snacks and toys.The small wooden carvings caught Gen's attention.Although the wood carving is simple, the smile is very cute. "This one, I'll buy one."

Gen explained to Bhutto: "I want to give it to Sarah." Bhutto smiled: "You are such a good brother." After the merchant got off the Uda, he also lit a cigarette and chatted.He talked about the incredible silver tornado that appeared in the forest north of Lillis not long ago, and listened carefully. "The town is intact, but the Shura forest has been completely wiped out." Bhutto also listened with great interest, but he didn't show any emotion at all about the fact that Wataru beside him was also brought here by the tornado.He doesn't talk much, and he deserves to be the guard of "City of Sadness".

"But," said the young businessman, after smoking his cigarette, turning over and stepping on Uda, as if thinking of something again, "Have you heard the legend that there are imitations of 'tears' on the market recently?" Bhutto turned around and asked, "What?" "Oh, I also heard about it by accident in the port town of Aliquida. It is said that 'tears' are made in places other than Tiaz Heyun, and they are being sold at a high price in private. The medicine was taken, and the patient died." "Oh, this matter cannot be underestimated." Bhutto became serious.

"That is to say, someone is selling counterfeit products and committing fraud?" Gen asked, "Is there no way to distinguish real 'tears'?" It seemed like something anyone could fake: since it looked like just plain water, it was bottled and labeled. "Of course there is." Bhutto replied, "It's very simple. Fish can't stay in 'tears'. Small fish and the like will float up within a few dozen strokes. Of course, it's not because it's poisonous, but because it's real. It’s too clean. When shipping from here, small fish will be prepared at the trade office for sampling inspection.”

"Oh, that's even more problematic!" Gen stood up, "In order to deceive customers, those imitations will mix in ordinary water with bad things that make fish float!" "No way, no, little guy." The young merchant shook his head, "Alikida's highland guards are very strong. After receiving a report of a patient's strange death, they withheld the remaining water for investigation. There was no toxic substance. It is said that what was detected was only the ingredients of the decocted medicine.” Bhutto put his fist on the tip of his nose and hummed "Ooh". "Even the police station is in motion, it's not a joke. This is troublesome."

His big eyes were rolling, and he looked furious: he had to report to the mayor immediately and collect details as soon as possible. "If that happens, it will be a matter of Tiazheyun's life and death!" Wataya walked out of the mayor's office with a serious expression on his face.Walking through the house to the blue sky, I saw the textile factory, Sarah was desperately moving a pair of small feet, and ran towards the gate. "Sarah, what's the matter?" Chasing and shouting, Sarah rushed to the gate without looking back, trying to push it open with both hands. "Hey, hey, Sarah, what's the matter?" Bhutto asked from above. "Where is Uda?" Sarah asked, "It is said that there is Uda at the gate." "Oh, that's Wuda, a trader from just now. He's already gone." Sarah's little head drooped in disappointment.Gen, who was catching up, saw Sarah's lonely and sad back, and was at a loss for words for a while. Bhutto leaned out from above the gate and spoke to Sarah kindly: "Sarah, if your father's Uda comes back, I, Bhutto, must shout loudly so that Sarah can hear it no matter where she is. So Well, you can rest assured to play." It turned out to be like this.Sarah heard that Uda was at the gate, and wondered if her father had returned?So quickly ran over.He was deeply moved. "Brother," Bhutto said, waving his hand toward Gen, "he said he had something good for Sarah. What is it?" Under the reminder, Heng hurriedly took out the wooden doll from his pocket.He bent down to Sarah's eye level and said, "Here, here you are." Sarah stared at the doll with her hands behind her back for a moment, and then she looked at Gen's face. "For Sarah?" "right." "why?" "Because I think it has a face like Sarah." Sarah stretched out her hand timidly and touched the doll with her fingers.Gen put it gently in her palm. "Thank you," Sarah whispered. "What's your name?" "Me?" Gen asked pointing at the tip of his nose. "No. It's about the doll's name." Bhutto said with a smile, "This brother said, I think of a name Sarah likes." "Torchi," Sarah said, stroking the doll's head with her fingers. "Torch? What a name." "It's my sister's name." Is it my sister who died of the epidemic? "Mum says Toki won't come back because he's a star. But Daddy will. Will he?" "If Sarah is good and energetic." Bhutto said.Seeing Sarah running away staggeringly, she clenched her fists. Two days later, the following news was received: Someone saw Yagom riding Uda near the Swamp of Sorrows.It is said that the driver of the Daru Baba, who is said to have come to carry away the "tears", saw it from the driving platform. Gen immediately decided to go to the Swamp of Sadness.The leg injury has healed, and the mayor of Magu lent an Ouda.Gen also accepted thick hoof pads, saying that they could be used to cover Uda's hooves when he was going through wetlands, and the effect was very good. "As long as you put this on Uda, it won't get stuck in muddy water." Gen hadn't figured out how to persuade Yagom after meeting him.However, because I deeply understand how sad Sarah misses her father, as long as it can be expressed in its original form, it will definitely have a good effect.Ever confident. Through the forest, approaching Lily Inna's hut, the window of the hut was drawn down, and no smoke could be seen from the chimney.There was no sign of Uda tied up in the woods.Knocking on the door and window lightly, there is also silence, no echo. The two went out?After waiting for a while, the situation remained the same.Gen stepped on Wuda again and walked towards the swamp.They wouldn't go for a walk in that damp place, but since they lived helplessly in such a place, maybe something would happen. The water in the Swamp of Sadness, even in the sun, is pitch black and cannot be microwaved.After knowing that all the impure substances after filtering the rainwater are discarded here, facing the still water at this moment, I feel very ominous, and the feeling of something terrifying hidden in it lingers.The swamp water itself became a large amoeba-like organism, groveling and holding its breath.However, if someone approached inadvertently, the creature would sense it keenly and use a part of its body as a tentacles to reach out and attack people, right?Immediately after it devours its prey, it becomes quiet and smooth again, returning to its huge, black, muddy water form. ——Even if it is an ugly and filthy thing, because of its existence, it must constantly absorb energy. Why do you think so?You just scare yourself, right?Gen tapped on his forehead, and lightly touched Uda's side with his ankle, causing him to quicken his pace and walk along the empty water. At this moment, a very slight "squeak" sound was heard. Gen asked Uda to stop and listen.Is it an auditory hallucination?No, I did.But does the sound come from this swamp where no birds hear it? "Squeak, cheep—cuckoo." It seemed to be the sound of an animal, very weak.look around.Then I heard it again, very close. In the reed-like grass in front of him, there was a commotion.Something like a red bird feather swayed in the grass. He got down from Uda, drew out the sword of the brave, and slowly stepped forward.He pushed aside the grass with his other hand, and then saw the red wings.Not birds.It has scales instead of wings and feathers.Bright red scales.Although its hand was about the same size as Gen's, it was unmistakably a hook. —It's a dragon. Standing there in horror, he was so shocked that he forgot to breathe.A dragon lay on its side, covered in black water and mud from the Swamp of Sorrows.Half of its body was submerged in the swamp, and its wings and hands moved weakly, appearing to be working very hard. Long rolled his eyes and looked at Gen.The dark pupils grew bigger in surprise, the long jaws were raised, and the mouth opened and closed.The sharp teeth are arranged like a pearl necklace, glittering and translucent. "Yo, it's a human child!" the dragon said, "Son, can you help me?" dumbfounded.That majestic appearance—even though it is weak and lying down at the moment, the majesty is still the same—but, its voice is quite childish, right? "What's the matter with you?" Gen Liu walked into Longshi with his feet stuck in the mud.At this time, the dragon's body was long-tongued and made a "swipe" sound.Terrified, he froze for a moment. "You can't touch the water in this swamp with bare hands and feet!" Long said. The strange sound just now seemed to remind him to pay attention. "It's okay, I'm wearing boots, as long as I don't fall down, I'm fine." Dragon blinked. "Yes. Good boy, I think you can put that sword away. I won't bite you." Gen put away the sword of the brave and got closer to the dragon.Trembling, he reached out and touched the dragon's neck, feeling the dry skin and warmth, a bit like Ki Kima's shoulder. "You are hurt?" Long looked down sadly and said, "When I was doing acrobatic flying, I got carried away and overdid it. I lost my balance, so..." It's kind of funny: the dragon will miss like this? "Did it just fall off like this? But fortunately, it fell on the soft wet ground..." Long interrupted Gen's conversation, pawing at the mud with both hands, and said: "Where is it! The water in this swamp is like an anesthetic! After a little immersion in the body, the paralysis will spread, and finally I can't move! I can't move half of my body. The only thing I can move is my head and two hands—— The smallest part of my body! In addition to the mud here, I can’t make it work, so I can’t get out.” This dragon seems to be a child of the Dragon Clan.It is said that it is a child, and its length is more than two meters.It is impossible for one person to drag him out of the water. "What should we do?" Genzheng was thinking, suddenly had an idea, and asked: "If you can work hard on the mud, it's possible to climb out with your own strength, right?" "Oh, it's possible." Long nodded, "If the wings are dry, you can fly again." "Okay, please wait!" Gen hurriedly returned to Wuda, took off the two hoof pads on Wuda's hoof, and ran to the dragon. "Hey, try wearing this on your wounds. With it, you should be able to use your strength on muddy surfaces, right?" The dragon put on the hoof pads and tried it. Although it was only bit by bit, it finally supported its body with its own strength. "Hey-hey!" Long shook his head vigorously, blushing and struggling with a thick neck-probably.Since it was originally bright red, I can't be sure. "one two three!" The wings are finally out of the water!The part that was immersed in the swamp just now was indeed drooping as if it had been anesthetized, and it lost its strength, and it was a little terrified. "Hi! Hi!" "It's almost there, come on!" Gen helped him, pushing his back and pulling his neck.Finally, most of the dragon's body emerged from the water, leaving only the tail submerged in the water. "There's only a little left." At this time, the dragon let out an "Oh?", and his eyes widened. "Oops! It's Karen!" "Hey, what?" The dragon twisted its body hastily, looking back at its own tail. "It's Karen! Karen bit the tip of my tail!" Looking at the water surface of the swamp, he saw small waves turning up where it was calm just now. "What 'Karen'?" "It's the fish in this swamp! Vicious glutton!" The dragon frantically slapped the mud with his hands, "Oh, what should I do? I'm going to be torn off by it! I'm going to be dragged into the water by it, and I'm going to be dragged from the head Eat it off!" While the hands and feet were in a hurry, the dragon's huge body was indeed dragged back to the swamp water bit by bit.The hoof pads made a trail.The ripples on the water got bigger. "That fish, let's kill it!" Gen pulled out the sword of the brave and put on a stance.Long shook his head again and again, and drove Gen out of the swamp. "No, no, no! Such a small sword can't do anything to Karen. It's better to cut off my tail!" Gen looked back and forth at the dragon's panic-stricken face and tail as taut as a fishing line. "Chop off the tail?" "That's right, I'm going to put my strength up and swing my tail back as much as possible. And you, just try to stay as close to the water as possible and chop off my tail. Understand? Try to swing your tail back as much as possible. You, just try to stay as close to the water as possible." Cut off my tail. Do you understand? Try to stay as close to the water as possible! Don’t cut too much, it will hurt! I will signal, you cut it off with one sword, don’t be slow, it will hurt!" The dragon flicked his tail with all his might.Gen ignored everything, raised his sharp sword high, aimed at the quivering tail sticking out of the water and slashed down. "Crack!" Has the feel of hitting a target.The dragon let out a scream.The water in the Swamp of Sadness "crashed" and made waves.At the center of the wave, something like a circular saw emerged from the water for a moment, and then disappeared into the water. "It hurts to death!" Long clapped his hands wildly, tears streaming down his face, "You are too much, you must not have cut against the surface of the water!" He gasped heavily, unable to speak for a while.What I finally said was: "What was that just now?" "What 'what'?! It's Karen!" "Is that the buzzsaw thing? Is that the mouth?" "It's Karen's dorsal fin. The teeth are even worse." The dragon wept and checked his own tail.The incision was about the size of a carrot and was bleeding bright red.Gen's heart panicked, and his back felt cold, but Long's wound seemed to heal, and the blood stopped faster than tears. "Ah, it's so cold!" The dragon trembled all over.As soon as it moved, the surrounding grass also shook. "Would you back off a little?" Take a step back. "It's not enough. Back again and again, far away, until you know where Uda is." Retreat as promised.The dragon took a deep breath, turned his head and exhaled forcefully in the direction of the swamp: Hehehehehehe! Gen stood there dumbfounded.Fire spewed from the dragon's mouth.It's an oversized flamethrower! The heat wave generated by the flames surrounded the dragon, and even approached it directly, like a gust of wind blowing past.He felt the instant high fever and the burnt smell left behind. — hair burnt. "Okay, do it, do it!" The dragon fluttered his wings contentedly and stopped crying. "Are you all right? Thank you so much. Although I was a little bad with the sword, you saved my life." "Where is it, can't talk about it." Gen's knees trembled, unable to move.Long moved his feet briskly, walking towards Gen step by step. "Where do you come from? Where are you going? Seeing you riding an Uda, are you a merchant?" Long asked. "Ah....Yes. I can't tell." "Yes. Well, as a reward, I will give you something nice." The dragon raised a small hand that was relatively tall compared to the huge body - and pulled a bright red scale from himself. "for you." Take over the scales.The scales resemble a ruby ​​shoehorn. "Take it to Lilis and give it to a good craftsman to make a flute. This is the dragon flute. No matter where you are, when you blow it, I can hear it. I will fly right away , put you on your back, and take you wherever you want." "But you have to be careful," the dragon went on, "the dragon flute can only be used twice, because it wears out quickly and cannot be kept for a long time." "Thank you, thank you." "I say thank you. Well, goodbye." Long waved his little hand, as a farewell, and began to flap his wings slowly, gradually increasing the speed, from idling to actually starting the engine. When the dragon raised its thick legs from the swamp, Wat cried out "Oops," and shouted, "What's your name? I'm Sangu Gen!" While speeding up and flapping its wings, the dragon replied: "My name is Qiao Zuo. I am Qiao Zuo, the descendant of the fire dragon!" Jozo took off.It rolled up a strong whirlwind, and he couldn't help but bow his head to protect his face.When the whirlwind passed, Jozo had turned into a small red star in the sky at noon, and then disappeared among the clouds. Ouch, I saw a real dragon.Regarding dragons, people in the fantasy world have only mentioned it once so far.Katz talked about dragon lore, that's all.As for talking to a dragon, watching it flap its wings, and falling helpless from the sky, a real dragon has never been heard of. Gen dazedly rode on Wuda, as if in a dream, he started to walk slowly.His mind was full of the flames and the bright red color of Jozo's breath.The spooky swamp and the damp wind lost all sense of reality. Maybe this is the reason, when Uda pulling a small truck parked on the wetland in front came into view, he didn't react at all for a while.The shelves of the shelves are stacked with small bottles.Uda's driver got out of the wagon and bent over the swamp, doing something non-stop. —He dipped his hands in the water. In an instant, Gen yelled as if waking up from a dream: "Hey! No, no, it's dangerous to touch the pool water!" In the Sorrowful Swamp, where there are no birdsong or leaves, the shouts are surprisingly loud and shrill.The bent man by the water stood up straight as if by reflex, and looked at Heng. Gen hurriedly rode forward, and as he approached, he could see the people by the water put on a defensive posture.He was covered with a turban so that his face could not be seen at all. Gen walked in, but the man still didn't move.However, the turban has holes in the eyes, and you can feel his gaze on Wataru's actions. He got down from Uda and said, "Have you lost your way? If you are thirsty, I have drinking water. Do not touch the water of the swamp." The man wore sturdy leather boots, a shirt with narrow sleeves, and a leather vest with many pockets.He held a bottle in his hand, exactly like the ones stacked on the truck rack.The mouth of the bottle is wet. "The water in this swamp is like a narcotic..." As soon as the words came out of his mouth, Gen suddenly woke up.Maybe it's because there's a clever little guy hiding in his body, and he's worried about the one who doesn't know what to do, so he gave his brain a flash stick in his body.Just like that, Gen suddenly understood. Bottles stacked on shelves.Hooded man.Fiddle with something by the water. ——Fakes of "tears" appeared on the market. — A patient died. Knowledge is connected with the situation in front of me, and I can see the clue.Just at this very moment.The masked man threw the bottle at Gen. Wataru avoided the bottle and almost got hit.The masked man withdrew his legs and ran towards Uda who was pulling the truck. "stop!" Wataru yelled, pulling out the sword of the brave like reflex.Seeing the bright sword, the masked man stopped abruptly, the toe of his boot almost stuck into the soft mud.He looked back. "A guy who doesn't know what's good or bad!" A deep voice came from under the hood, "You took out that thing, are you trying to catch me?" It was a man's voice.Gen could clearly feel that the other party's attitude had changed, and it was in a dangerous direction. "That's right, I'm going to arrest you, and I won't let you go!" Gen rolled up his shirt cuffs, revealing his dragon wristbands, "I'm a highland guard!" The masked man laughed: "Scare me! The police station is too sloppy. Give such an important dragon wristband to the little guy who wants his mother to sing a lullaby at night. The kid told the truth as soon as possible: I just claimed that the highland guards are lying. ? Are the bracers real? Are they just playing the Highlander game?" Gen ignored him, and said with a straight face: "You are filling this swamp water to sell it as Tiaz Heyun's 'tears'? This is a typical fraud, and it killed people. You know How unreasonable are the things you did?" Not only was the masked man not afraid, but he clapped his hands and laughed wildly: "You really don't know what's good, little boy." He quickly reached into his vest and took out something, aiming at Gen. This is - a gun.It is more complicated than the guns I have seen in reality, but I can imagine it is a gun. Gen took a step back involuntarily, the masked man forced a step forward and said: "Hey, little guy, do you know what this is? Admiration, admiration. Well, it's called a magic gun. It's the latest weapon invented by Aliquida. It's much better than a sword. When you swing your sword to attack me, I don't need it." Run away, and with the flick of a finger, a small hole can be opened in your head." "I know about guns." Gen said calmly.Although his heart was beating wildly and his voice was hard to control, he still held back. "It's good to know, so you don't have to waste your time. Little guy, if you want to save your life, just stay honest and don't talk, I'll leave right away. After I leave, you have to forget about me and don't tell anyone. You don't want to lose your life, let mother Are you crying bitterly?" Move half a step to the right.The muzzle of the magic gun moved half a step accordingly, still aiming at Gen. "It's useless to try to escape, but you can't hide. If you say you are a little kid and let you go, you don't know what to do." "I'm not a kid, I'm a Highlander. I have a duty to protect the people of Tiaz Heyun, and I have a duty to protect the people from your fake 'tears'!" "This idiot." The masked man said disdainfully, "This kind of person who destroys places has no protection value at all! He's just a mob who cries and cries all day long." Gen was furious: "How do you know? It's pure ignorance!" "What a coincidence, I know all about Tiaz Heyun. Because I was detained by this hateful town not long ago." The masked man put one hand on Uda's saddle, "I don't have time to follow You talk." He intends to jump onto Uda.Gen gripped the sword of the brave and rushed forward recklessly. The masked man took a shot, pointed the magic gun directly at He, and pulled the trigger. With a "bang", Gen just leaned down, and a white light flashed in front of his eyes. "what?" The situation was the same as the last time I fought the monster at the bottom of the church ruins.The hand holding the sword of the brave moved spontaneously.It moved from left to right in front of Gen, just in time to block the projectile fired by the magic gun, and rebounded violently. The masked man was also stunned.He looked down at the magic gun in his hand, then raised the muzzle of the gun in a panic. "Don't be complacent, kid!" The gunfire rang out again.Gen didn't panic this time, he held his breath and let the sword move.The sword of the brave parried the projectile again.The ricochet may have landed in the swamp, making little ripples.One or two drops of water fell on Gen's face, which was cold. "How many bullets are loaded in the gun?" Gen slowly approached the masked man, "Try firing all the bullets, how about?" "Bastard, it doesn't make sense." The masked man cursed angrily, and jumped onto Uda.Then he turned around on the saddle, pointed the gun at the knot connecting Uda and the truck, and blew it off with one shot. In an instant, a serious and friendly voice sounded quietly in Gen's mind: (Gen, unleash the sword of the brave!) The sound came from the sword—the gemstone embedded in the tsuba, passed through Wataru's fingers, was transmitted to the arm, and directly appealed to the mind. (Swing the sword, it also fires magic bullets.) Gen raised his hand without hesitation, pointing the sword at the masked man just like the masked man raised his gun just now.Aim at Wu Da's wrist, which he is about to swing with a whip. The sword moved.He made a cross in the air, and the point of the sword returned to the center of the cross.When this action was being carried out, I read the words that came to my mind: "Great goddess, holy elf courage, please appear!" The sword and jade are shining.White light burst out from the tip of the sword and shot at the masked man. The light bullet hit the man's right shoulder, and he fell to Uda with a scream. Uda was frightened and fled, almost stepping on the masked man who fell to the ground with his hoof.He rushed towards the man.Excitement and excitement made his cheeks burn.Can do such a thing with the sword of the brave!It hides such power! The man grasped his shoulders and groaned.The hood was askew when he fell, exposing his nose and jaw.His unshaven chin was covered with mud. "The highland guard actually uses a magic sword?" The man's voice changed because of shock, "And it's such a little kid—who are you?" He squatted down next to the man, he almost turned a deaf ear to the man's words, and another thing surprised him.The shape of this jaw.The feeling of this nose.Who does he want?Such a nostalgic feeling—— It turned out to be...No way? Reason overwhelmed the flash of intuition.However, he couldn't suppress the churning in his heart.Wataru reached for the man's turban with his left hand.stop!Don't pull his hood off, don't do it - you'll regret it.The elf in the body was screaming.But it couldn't stop. He tore off the man's turban. The face in front of my eyes was my father's face, exactly like Akira Mitani's face, even the eyes that were always calm and sometimes even ruthless. deceitful.There can be no such thing. The man who resembled his father stared at Wataru with hostility in his eyes.Maybe it was the pain of the wound that made him grit his teeth. "Who are you?" Gen asked with difficulty.He had difficulty speaking as if his tongue had been paralyzed. "Names don't make sense." The man gritted his teeth. "I'm a man. It's hard for a brat like you to understand—I'm not a bad person. I just want to find my own happiness and do what I can do." It's just a matter." He slipped his mouth just now - he was recently imprisoned in Tiaz Heyun. Gen woke up: "Oh, you are Yagom." For the first time the man looked timid.He looks away. "You are Yagom! Abandoned his wife and Sarah, tried to elope with Lily Inna, but failed. Lily Inna was expelled from the town, and now lives on the edge of this 'Swamp of Sadness'..." Now I understand. "The reason why you sold 'tears' was to feed Lily Inna, right? You built her a hut, right? That's how you earned the money for building the house?" Yagom narrowed his eyes and his face darkened. "Little guy, how do you know about me and Lily in such detail? Who taught you this kind of thing?" "It wasn't told. I met Lily Inna, I met your wife, Sadami, and I know about Sarah. I know how much Sarah misses her father. That's all." Yagom stood up covered in mud, with one hand on his shoulder that had been hit by the magic bullet, and turned his face away from him.Not knowing whether it was a reaction to the name "Sarah" or the word "Father" stung him, he looked sadly at the swamp. "Kids like you are always self-righteous..." His grunts also seemed listless. "In that case..." Yagom turned his head to look at Gen. From the front, this face was exactly the same as Akira Mitani, and Gen felt a sharp pain in his heart. "But, little guy. People have 'ideas'. Some things are justified and unreasonable. Sadami is definitely not a bad woman. She is an honest worker and a gentle woman. However, since I met Lily, and Lily Once in love, it is impossible to go back. Now that there is true love, it is impossible to go back to the fake side." Gen tried his best to squeeze out his voice: "How can you tell the difference—the love with Sadami is fake, and the love with Lily Inna is real love?" The corners of Yagom's mouth withdrew, and Xiao Xiao said: "You will know when you become an adult." "That kind of thing, I don't want to know at all!" Gen shouted, the sound was so loud that even he was surprised.The turbulent heart swayed in the body until it hit a wall on one side, and hit a wall on the other side.Gen desperately said to himself: He is not father, but Yagom.He is the merchant Yagom, not my father Mitani Akira.He is another person.No matter how much he looks like, no matter what he did to hurt mom and me, this guy is not dad.No, no. "Knowing love is the most important thing for people." Yagom said in a preaching tone, "Once you get true love, giving it up is worse than death. Little guy, after you become a real man, you must also I will understand. However, I cannot guarantee whether you will find true love." Yagom smiled "hehe", he looked exactly like his father.When Gen talked about something self-righteously, his father always asked him to express it as much as possible, and then he bowed and said to Gen sternly: Let me verify now, what is wrong with your opinion-this is Sangu Ming is like this. —Wat, there seems to be something wrong with your thinking.This is what Akira Mitani started with a smile like this. Gen finally couldn't bear it anymore, he looked down at the mud under his feet, and said: "How is Sadami's mood? What about Sadami's 'love' for you? Isn't it also true love? If what you just said is correct, no, you can also think that Sadami should give up his love for you. Worse than death—is that right too?" Yagom shook his head and said, "Sadami is not in love with me. She is just pestering me for the sake of living." "Please don't think it's an underground conclusion!" "You are still a child, don't meddle too much in other people's affairs!" Gen didn't flinch: "How about Sarah? How about Sarah's 'love' for you as a father?" "The love of parents and children is something else." "You are despicable, and you will hold the reason that is beneficial to you. Whenever Uda passes by Tiaz Heyun, Sarah rushes to the gate to see: Is Dad back? Have you never seen her look like this?" Does she look like this? You only need to see her like this once, and you will definitely not brag about the nonsense just now." For a moment, Yagom was silent.Then, he suddenly grabbed a handful of mud with his uninjured hand and threw it at Heng.Ji dodges away.But the spray of mud landed on his chin. "What are you doing?" Yagom's eyes were burning.Just like when he drew his gun to face each other, the light of hatred flickered in his eyes. "Child, child, child!" Yagom cried desperately, "What about the child! It was originally the life I gave! If you claim that children have the absolute right to bind their parents for life, then I have something to say: If you say, Without me as a father, I can’t live anymore. This kind of life is meaningless! Let me end Sarah’s life with my own hands! Sadami is the same. If you say that you can’t live without me, let me kill her with my own hands. kill her!" Won felt out of breath.He felt his cheeks burn.Yagom's protruding chin became more vigorous as he spoke, almost a mouth full of saliva.倒挑的双眉。坚持己肩的眸子。是爸爸。亘爸爸一模一样。不，就是爸爸本人。刺耳的也并不是雅哥姆的声音。这是爸爸的声音。是三谷明对亘宣称自己的主张。 ——孩子又如何？原本就是我给予的生命嘛。亘，如果只因为你是我的孩子，就主张拥有束缚我一生的权利，那我也有想法。如果说抛弃你残酷无情，那就按你想要的办吧。 ——爸爸不会抛弃你的。 ——没有爸爸的话，你原本就不会诞生在这世上。 ——所以爸爸就当你没有降生到这世上。 ——那就不抛弃你，把你从世上抹掉吧。 亘，这就是你期望的吗？ 亘感觉一阵目眩，脚下轻飘飘，愤怒在心里有沸腾，却不知何故一下子变得很遥远。 ——要倒下了。 亘双手在空中划动，想抓住东西。当然是不可能得，他向旁边趔趄一大步。 “怎么啦，小家伙？”雅哥姆探问道。他的声音比之前小得多，就像是隔着玻璃说话。不，不仅仅是雅哥姆，周围的一切，就连伤心沼泽的凉气阴风，也像是隔着一道透明的墙壁，是另一边的事情。仿佛就亘一个人落到了玻璃杯里头。 “小家伙，你还是回家吧。”雅哥姆带着一丝笑容说道，“回家去，问问自己父母。问问看我和你谁对。当然，你父母可能会说我错了。可是，小家伙。那是假话。不是真是的回答。不是为人父母的真是想法。即便是你的父母，假如也跟我一样，在只能拥有一次的人生里面临重大抉择的话，也必然会得出跟我一样的结论。这样一来，你们这些孩子就要被抛弃。明白吗？生命原先得自父母。生命是免费得到得，不用付出任何代价。心怀感激之情，乖乖被抛弃，这样才是本分！” 亘的视界转暗。
