alliance of misthophoros

Chapter 15 2.10. The Tenth Waiter: Alliance
In the twilight of the setting sun, streaks of crimson glow appeared, and the rain fell sporadically. Bean-sized raindrops fell on the ground drop by drop, splashing round and full water. The light rain did not affect the actions of people on the ground too much.

Lan Lingxi was holding a sack of things, and she came out honestly and reported to the guard.

Xiaoer happened to be moving things, and he didn't expect to see Lan Lingxi. Just as he was about to approach Lan Lingxi, he was caught by Lan Qingzhu who came out to take care of her.

Lan Qingzhu aggressively said to Xiaoer:

"Where's your brother?"

Xiao Er lowered his head, hesitated for a while, stretched out his hands with two fingers crossed in front of him, and then pointed in a direction with fear.

Lan Qingzhu, whose face was purple from the fight with Xiaoyi, rushed to the place pointed by Xiaoer in a hurry.

The person in charge of the supplies didn't dare to say a few words to Lan Qingzhu, after all, Lan Qingzhu's status was special, and if he wanted to know what Lan Qingzhu had taken, he could only check it at night when it was liquidated.

Lan Lingxi frowned, and asked Xiao Er: "How did Xiao Yi offend her?"

Xiao Er hurriedly shook his head, how could he know.

"Looking at it, Lan Qingzhu seems very angry. Did you just tell her Xiaoyi's location..." Lan Lingxi felt worried for Xiaoyi when she saw Lan Qingzhu's state.

Xiao Er sticks out her tongue.

"I mean the other way around."

After hearing this, Lan Lingxi didn't know what expression to make. She should be worried about Lan Qingzhu now, but Lan Qingzhu is so familiar with the neighborhood, so there shouldn't be any problem.

After taking care of my aunt.

Enter the cave and use clean water to drive away evil spirits.

Lan Lingxi's day's mission was almost over, and she immediately picked up a bag of things in a happy mood to find Safir and the others.

The sun like golden sand shuttles through the forest, gradually dimming.

As the evening approached, Lan Lingxi unexpectedly found that Mandela was blindfolded when he joined Safir and the others again.

"He, why is he wearing this thing?" Lan Lingxi asked curiously, is it a special custom?
Safire explained, "Ah, this, this is because Mandela is blindfolded because he sees scary things at night."

"That's it." Lan Lingxi nodded.scary thing?How scary?Is it scarier than what she saw... But Lan Lingxi didn't tell Safir about it, she was afraid of scaring the little boy in front of her.

Seeing that Lan Lingxi didn't ask too much, Safire chatted with her inseparably and inseparably.

quite pleasant.

In the open space of the forest, smoke is rising from the kitchen, and the night is carrying a small skirt dotted with stars, and comes slowly with a cool breeze.

Lan Lingxi has skillfully set up a bonfire, holding some wooden bottles and cans, making barbecue and cooking bubbling thick soup.

After collecting the wood, Safire saw the bottles and jars of Lan Lingxi, picked up a bottle curiously, looked at the heavy bottle body, and asked, "What are these?"

"The one in your hand is vinegar made from persimmons." Lan Lingxi replied immediately.

Safire picked up another clay pot, lifted the lid, and smelled it.

"Special soy sauce." Lan Lingxi said while busy, and picked up another sack: "This is dried salt."

They were all things that Safire had never seen before, which made Safire feel extremely novel.

Above the head is the star-moon sky, and next to the ears are the sound of burning firewood and the sound of insects.

Safire stared at Lan Lingxi, all eyes were on this girl, fascinated by her profile, her every move.

From her, he discovered something natural.

This thing should be called the love of everything.

Lan Lingxi controlled the heat, wiped off her sweat, and looked up to see the blue eyes staring at her.

There was a tenderness that could be seen at a glance in those eyes.

Safir's childish face flickered in the blatant firelight,

She couldn't deny the throbbing in her heart at this moment. It is said that children had a vague affection for the opposite sex when they were young, and suddenly remembered, "By the way, I brought you some external medicine to prevent insect bites." .It’s the one with you.”

Lan Lingxi looked at Safire, of course she had a crush on him, a well-behaved and cute little boy.

Safir opened the small jar with curiosity on his face.

Before he could ask, Lan Lingxi stepped forward.She took a little bit from the jar with her fingers and wiped it on the back of Safire's hand, explaining, "Just apply it on your body like this."

This touch was like a superficial touch, but like a wave, it caused indelible ripples in Safir's heart.

He wanted to do something, but he didn't know what to do. He just stared at Lan Lingxi, who was going as if nothing had happened, and said softly, "Okay."

In this deep night, the two of them seemed to have endless words, and they chatted one after another, as if they were going to spend the rest of their lives.

"What kind of world is it outside? Is there a tall castle?" Lan Lingxi looked curiously at this outsider who liked him very much, "Can any disease be cured?"

"Yes. The outside world is more complicated and vast, but it doesn't seem to be any different from here."

"Then where are you from?" Lan Lingxi hoped that after Safir left, she could find him again, "Is it from the road to the waterfall in the north, the dense forest in the east, is it from a distant place, or do you live near here?"

"I... I don't even remember where I came from."

"Hmm. Why?"

"Why...well..." Safir seemed to be trying to remember, with a slightly distressed look, "I can only recall a little bit, and my memory is a bit long. Would you like to hear it?"

Under the firelight, Safire's eyes looked blue, which reminded Lan Lingxi of a deep pool, mysterious and vast. She nodded and said softly, "Okay."

Safire seems to be telling a story that is very far away from himself...

I was born in a poor little village, even poorer than this forest.I am the youngest child in my family.Fortunately, I have a happy family with loving parents, brothers and sisters.

Life in the village is peaceful and beautiful.

But all of this came to an end at the age of eight.

That winter was extremely cold, heavy snow covered the whole field of vision, and wandering bandits attacked the village. I listened to the movement outside, and at first I didn't understand what happened.

My parents were urging me to leave in a panic, while my older brothers and sisters took up arms and rushed out, the whole world was in chaos.

I carried a package on my back, and walked with a group of people. The wind and snow were like ice picks, piercing my body with piercing pain.

I still think of my mother's exhortation in my ear: "The world is impermanent, we only hope you are happy and healthy." '

Under the ravages of heavy snow and the pursuit of robbers, the crowd fell apart.

When I came back to my senses, I was suddenly left alone in the vast snow, so quiet that only the sound of howling wind, footsteps on the snow, and my own breathing remained.

Finally, I stopped under a pine tree and didn't go any further, thinking that maybe everything would be all right when the sun came out.

I can't bear my village, I can't bear those people I love.

But when I finally made it to dawn.

I went back, but I can never go back.

In the early morning, the village where the smoke should be curling up from the kitchen is so quiet that there is not even a cock crowing or cats and dogs barking.

I look at all these devastated things.

The world really seems to have left me alone.

I seemed to be in a daze like this, almost passed out without eating or drinking.

I don't know how long it took.

When I opened my eyes again, I saw a person.

This man took me in.

I am very glad that I survived at that time, I was able to see this beautiful world, I was able to have a future and infinite possibilities, and I realized the value of peace at that moment.

in later adventures.I understand that people are unpredictable, and I have seen the brilliance of human nature. I have gone through mountains, rivers, lakes and seas, and I have also experienced hardships.

Even though I don't have the thought of hating the world, I still want to use my hands to eliminate all the evils in the world.I want to create a world free from war, fraud, barrenness, disease...a peaceful world.

In the present world, I may not like it very much for the time being.

Safir seemed to be immersed in that memory, Lan Lingxi listened and watched, and couldn't help but say:
"Let's make an alliance."

"Alliance?" Safire's memory was interrupted, and he gradually returned to reality, seeing Lan Lingxi's firm eyes.

Lan Lingxi sincerely invites, "Let's create an ideal world together."

When Safir was thinking, Lan Lingxi said embarrassedly: "Actually, I am a little envious of you."

"I didn't even know what it was like to have parents."

"As far back as I can remember, I don't know where my parents are. Every day I'm squeezed out by my tribe, and I live with my half-crazy aunt without enough food or clothing."

"When I found that it was useless to complain blindly, I learned to choose to make myself stronger."

"Later, I was chosen as a spiritual girl by the land of spirits."

"In a few days, he will soon become the new priest."

"During these ups and downs, I realized more deeply that when encountering great setbacks and dissatisfaction, life can be counted as the real beginning."

"Don't be too obsessed with the clouds on the top of the mountain, and don't forget to appreciate the Youman at the bottom of the valley."

Lan Lingxi stretched out her hand to Safir very solemnly, and said word by word,

"I, Lan Lingxi, now, in the name of the Priest of the Yuling Clan, form an alliance with you on behalf of the entire clan, let's make an alliance."

Safire called her name softly: "Lan Lingxi."

Lan Lingxi's cheeks flushed instantly, isn't she too naive, haha.

But Safir looked at Lan Lingxi with gentle eyes, and did not mock: "Tell me, what is the name of our alliance."

The two smiled at each other.

Lan Lingxi looked at the boy in front of him.

There is no one who does not make mistakes, and no one can shake the world alone. This world is connected with each other. She does not have great and noble ideas like him, but if it is him, then she is willing to try to change. be great.

If he wanted to create such a world as Safire said, then he would have to face the intricate world pattern, natural and man-made disasters, irreversible birth, old age, sickness and death, and the unfathomable human heart.

Even if one of these things is brought out, it will make him look small and vulnerable.

But it is such ordinary people who overcome all difficulties to create greatness and glory.

Mandela felt that the two people's thoughts were so innocent, and the conversation was so stupid, but the gentle throbbing in the chest was very familiar.

"Alliance for world peace." Lan Lingxi said while drawing on the ground with a branch, and suddenly realized something, "Ah, it seems a bit long."

"AFWP." Safire looked at the words on the soil and smiled, "Let's abbreviate it into initials."

At that time, Safir may have had such countless meeting of eyes for thousands of years, and countless heart-to-heart conversations.

Maybe it's love.

People pursue happiness, and under the influence of various voices, they constantly change their own definition and understanding of it, but the simplest thing about happiness is just the word love.

At this moment, Lan Lingxi is praying.

Let the unpredictable tomorrow come slowly, she wants to stay longer in such a beautiful place.

Children's dreams are childish, right?

Safire took a sip of the warm soup, and a kind face appeared in his mind, holding a hot pot, muttering in his mouth: "Eat more, you will become healthy when you are full."

Trapped in vague memories, I suddenly felt a pain in my chest, and I was so uncomfortable that I couldn't breathe.

"Phil, don't hate this world, be happy..."

The cool wind blew over the tear stains on Safire's face, and also blew over a lonely figure in the distance.

In this silent night, Ramses looked back on the eventful years of his life.

At this time, he seemed so powerless, only confused about the future.

【Paradise City】

Wilson walked alone in this huge city, and there were vehicles flying in the air.

A concert was held on the open-air stage in the city, with rain and flames mixed, colorful lights, rising balloons, endless cheers and screams, and falling pieces of atmospheric paper.

This place is extremely dreamy, as if it contains endless joy, and there is no trace of human suffering or trouble.

A veritable paradise.

But to add a prefix, it belongs only to the rich man's paradise.

The "Eye of Heaven" floats above Paradise City, exuding holy light. This is the symbol of Paradise City and the LOGO that must be printed on all Paradise City products.

A lonely and thin figure from the back passes through the crowd of crazy enjoyment, and the slightly insignificant figure gradually sinks into the vast mottled light and shadow.

Every advancement in science and technology is a huge transformation of human thought, but while the times are advancing, there are also many people who are abandoned by the times.

How many people are displaced in this huge city; how many people are floating in this vast world.

Wilson watched the pigeons fly away into the night.

He found that he could sense the specific location of Safir and the others from such a distance, and his perception ability was obviously much stronger than before.

Suddenly, a bad feeling came to my mind.

He couldn't help but think of the note that Hibiscus gave him before.

　This eight-year-old can actually be explained later in the writing. It is because of this memory and identity that Safir's memory of himself is very confusing.He lived more than that little time.
