Han Tan Si Shui
Blakely and the others were dumbfounded when they saw this scene. It was the first time for them to see a person starving to death, let alone a child.The little wizards who grew up in a superior and peaceful environment found it difficult to accept this scene. The child was skinny and bruised, and he was trying to survive on the verge of death with even younger children.
The boy was trembling all over and kneeling beside the little girl's body with a pale face, looking so helpless and hesitant.
"Brother, is Xiaona awake? She likes grilled fish the most. She will be very happy." Xiaohai staggered to the boy's side, holding one of the boy's hands and said innocently.
But those innocent words deeply hurt the boy's heart. It was all his fault. If it weren't for him, everyone would be living well and they would all have a happy life.It's all his fault, he feels like he shouldn't be in the world.
"Xiaohai, Xiaona went to a beautiful garden with countless food and beautiful flowers. She will not come back there for a while." Medusa came in from the outside and spoke softly in a gentle tone. Xiaohai said, with sadness in his gentle eyes.
"Sister, who are you?"
"The eldest sister's name is Medusa, and she is your eldest brother's friend." Medusa reached out and picked up Xiao Hai, who looked only 5 years old. What shocked Medusa was that Xiao Hai was much lighter than she thought.
"Sister, can I go see Xiaona?"
"The brightest star in the sky at night is where Cortana goes. She has been watching you." Medusa is already familiar with this kind of thing. Now is the age of war, and death and hunger have long been Everywhere.
She has seen too many similar things happen with Grandpa Sage, and she has even seen people eating people.But why is there a war?Aren’t we all the same kind?Why not unite and strive for a better future, but instead lift the butcher's knife to each other?
Medusa didn't know, she thought Grandpa Sage should know better, but when she asked Grandpa Sage, she just said a word that had nothing to do with her question: "Greed."
Medusa didn't understand, and she didn't want to think about it that much.She and the boy separated Xiaohai and buried Xiaona together. Medusa also held a simple ceremony to send off the deceased for Xiaona.Although it was very simple, the boy was grateful for Medusa's actions. Although he was puzzled by these rituals, he had also seen magicians perform rituals for the dead.
After the two buried Xiaona, they sat together. The boy prepared food for Xiaohai, while Medusa sat on the ground without any scruples, watching the sun slowly set and dye the whole sky red.This scenery is so beautiful, but it also touches the saddest memory in Medusa's heart. The sky that day was exactly the same as the sky reflected by the sunset.
"Sorry, I followed you." Medusa looked at the boy for a long time, with an apology in her tone.
"I know." The boy was silent for a long time, and then his voice was slightly hoarse for his age. It sounded like he had just cried, probably secretly crying.
"Follow me back to Grandpa Sage. Xiao Hai also has magic power. Grandpa Sage will not refuse. At least, Grandpa Sage will ensure the livelihood security of you and your brother." Medusa persuaded again.
"Okay." After a long time, the boy's voice came again.
"I am an ordinary girl from the village, but my life is not peaceful." Medusa seemed to be telling something that had nothing to do with her, her expression showing no fluctuations.
"Because my eyes can see things that others cannot see, all the villagers call me a monster. They all look at me with disgust and hostility in their eyes, but their souls are filled with fear." Medusa brightly said Looking at the scenery on the horizon with big eyes, it was like seeing myself through the red clouds.
The boy didn't speak, just listened quietly.
"But my father and mother are not like this. They always stand in front of me and protect me with their bodies. Their eyes are always gentle. But, they are gone, too, in a burning red night." Beauty. Dusha looked towards the fire, the burning firelight reflected in her eyes, and she couldn't see the emotions contained in her eyes.
"That was the year when an insect plague broke out. No one had a good harvest. They said I was the cause of misfortune and that I was a witch who brought disaster. They rushed to my house with weapons and wanted to drive us out. In the village, during that riot, my father was beaten to death and my mother was burned to death." Medusa looked at the boy, knowing that the boy was probably in a similar situation.
Most people with magical powers are unfortunate because they are different, especially those who have strong magical powers but have not learned magic.
"Later, Grandpa Sage saved me and took me away." Medusa smiled sweetly, but how many other emotions were there under that smile?
"It's...sad." The boy took a deep breath, not knowing how to comfort Medusa.
"I told you my sad story, what about you? I'm curious why you are here." Medusa said playfully with a wink, as if she didn't care about that matter at all.
"Me, I live in a small village near the sea. Like you, I am also regarded as an unknown child, because after I was born, the sea has become more and more prone to tsunamis, and boats out to sea are always capsized by returning waves. .”
Medusa was startled by the boy's words. What is it?Sea, tsunami? !Can this guy's magic riot cause a tsunami? ! (?○Д○)?
"Later, we were driven out of the village by the villagers. Until the war broke out and the enemies came to the village. I saw with my own eyes that my father lost consciousness after being killed by the enemies." The boy recalled, with fear in his eyes.
"When I woke up, the whole village was full of traces of being hit by the tsunami. Everyone had disappeared. Whether Wu Lun was an intruder or a member of the village, even his mother..." The boy blamed himself and was afraid.
"I killed everyone. When I searched around the village like crazy, I only found two people, Xiaohai and Xiaona. So I took them with me to atone for my mistakes, even though they were not there at all. Not sure." The boy looked at his hands, and he felt that they were filled with blood at all times.
"So you threw away your name?" Medusa looked at the boy with sympathy and distress in her eyes.Did losing control of his magic power cause irreparable consequences?Compared to having a loved one die in front of you, knowing that you killed your loved one with your own hands is undoubtedly more despairing.
"A sinner like me who killed his relatives no longer deserves the name they gave me." The boy replied.
"I can't keep calling you, can I? How about I give you a name? As a fellow sufferer," Medusa said.
The boy neither agreed nor refused.
"Then call him Poseidon."
The boy was trembling all over and kneeling beside the little girl's body with a pale face, looking so helpless and hesitant.
"Brother, is Xiaona awake? She likes grilled fish the most. She will be very happy." Xiaohai staggered to the boy's side, holding one of the boy's hands and said innocently.
