People in Mond, arrogant sun, not hated

It was just a light word, but it shattered all the sadness and anger like glass hit by a stone brick.

The woman tilted her head and looked at her with some doubts, and said it as a matter of course.

"If the ring is pawned, you can buy it back, but if you die, you can never get it back. If you compare it like this, isn't the value of the two taken for granted?"

The girl opened her mouth in silence.

But her lack of vocabulary prevented her from saying anything.

In the cold world she knew, human life was not so precious.

At least theirs isn't.

Because what I see is different, I will walk into the darkness step by step.

Those of the lowest level, there is only one way to go.

Finally, the special medicine was fired, and the woman gently helped the boy who was already in a semi-conscious state on the bed, carefully heated the steaming medicine to cool down, and poured it into his mouth bit by bit.

"what's your name?"

"... Boa."

"Then I'll call you that, Bao'er. I can't remember my name, so you can call me whatever you want."

The woman paused and began to answer her question.

"Bao'er, you have to remember. Life is the cheapest thing in this world, but it is also the most precious thing. It is so cheap that it can disappear in pieces for reasons that are ridiculously boring, but it is also precious enough to exude a more The brilliance of any treasure is dazzling."

"Life may be full of suffering, but life itself does not mean suffering... Sorry, I may not be able to say something that can enlighten you without memory."

"All I can do is to tell you as much as possible based on the short-term impressions and the emotions that surge in my heart, but at least I hope you can remember this sentence in your heart."

There was a sincere smile on her face that she had never seen before.

Soft words uttered from moist lips.

"Please don't take life lightly."

Memories of what happened afterwards are blurred.

I just remember that I got into Grandma's arms and cried for a long time.

Sad and happy in my heart, a mess of emotions all turned into tears and flowed out.

That must be the reason.

When she heard that sentence, she felt that she got [permission.

They are allowed to live in this world.

Not insignificant garbage and dust, but as a person with a name and a surname, flesh and blood.

That night, in order to appease Abe, whose condition was gradually improving, Ama held their hands and sang a strange folk song from somewhere.

It is long and quiet, and people can't help but want to fall asleep in the singing.

Even after many, many days and years, she would often recall this dreamlike night in her dreams.

Like a dream, like a long sleep.

..................

The withered and wrinkled hand remained motionless, and the silver-white ring on the ring finger still exuded the same light.

The overly wide palm tightly wrapped the small hand.

Just like that night.

The sick and weak boy, who was old enough to protect her, was still weeping like he was when he was a child.

Rude's throat is humming the rice wife ballad of the past night, making it difficult to distinguish the boundaries of time.

Quietly leaning against the cold wall, Bao'er looked up at the ceiling illuminated by candlelight and let out a soft sigh.

A moment of tears reflected in the warm light.

She turned to open the door.

Slowly opened his eyes.

Before her eyes, the blond knight with purple pupils was sitting on a wooden chair and massaging his temples.

Loosely awaiting the arrival of the perpetrator.

This is also impossible, no matter what the motive is, she is the existence of the dark side.

If you commit a crime, you must be prepared to be beaten.

If you do something, you have to bear the consequences and apologize.

Come out to hang out... sooner or later you have to pay it back.

Chapter 149: Elmes: You Are Insignificant

"Heh, it's really strange to see you dressed like this, I didn't recognize you for a while, the big thief Baojia who is known as the eldest sister~~"

Elmes yawned loosely with half-closed eyes, and let out a chuckle of unknown meaning.

Bao'er leaned against the door and sighed silently.

"It really is you, the blond knight back then."

It was almost a year ago, and the two of them met once.

At that time, they were eyeing the same treasure in Liyue, because the treasure had a complicated answer and there were two treasure burial spots, so when the two solved the answer, they were excitedly preparing to take all the treasure away.

It turned out that it was less than half.

The two then investigate each other, just as they're both gearing up for each other to get their other half back.

The head of the group who finished Liyue's diplomacy directly pulled Elmes back, and because he was a Mond, Bao'er, the leader of the Liyue Treasure Squad, also let go.

It's kind of a meaningless coincidence.

"I didn't expect to see you at this time today. I'm too lazy to care about your situation, but..."

A cold light flickered in the purple pupils.

Sloppy words with a sense of oppression blurted out.

"Don't you even run away?"

Although the Treasure Pirates Group is a group of gangsters with a mixed bag of fish and dragons, and their overall quality is generally quite low, unless they have nothing to do to commit a felony, state forces like the Fools and the Qianyan Army don't bother to control them.

But that's not the case for a leader-level figure like her.

Bao'er shook her head with a helpless wry smile.

"Of course I want to run too... But I can't now, maybe this behavior is stupid, but I can't run now."

If only to abandon her family so that she wouldn't suffer, but she wouldn't be her.

In their business, the bottom line is not important but it is very precious.

Sometimes, you can get your hands dirty, but not your heart.

"Oh, how stupid."

"It's just a little too unlucky, maybe this is also my retribution."

Elmes still had a lack of interest, and chatted a few more casually.

"Won't you plead with me for your family?"

"Abe is just a boatman. Unlike me, that kid is a scary-looking bad guy."

"Does he know anything about you?"

"I lied to him that I was an archaeologist. That silly boy never doubted it, but maybe he had a vague guess."

Her knowledge and skills are not inferior to those of ordinary archaeologists, and her quality is also the same, but her behavior style is completely inconsistent with her profession.

Don't expect any good qualities from her who grew up in a slum and never received formal education.

"Although I have no interest, if...just if you are really an archaeologist, you won't be in the current situation. You chose this path because of money."

From his words, he didn't feel the same awe-inspiring righteousness and high morals as other officials, which made Bao'er's tone more relieved.

"Of course, who doesn't live in the gray area for money?"

As an orphan like her, she has no funds and no contacts. If she wants to make huge profits, she can only do things that ordinary people dare not do.

If you don't have enough money, relying on an ordinary and stable job, it is simply impossible to buy back the ring that has been sold for seven figures at auction.

If she replaces her talent for stealing treasures with a talent for business, maybe she can be a little more aboveboard.

Recalling the grandmother who was still desperately saving money until she was exhausted, and the ring whose price was still rising, Baoer showed a rather ironic smile on her face.

But he just shrugged calmly.

After all, she is not a good person who uses illegal means.

[Awakening this kind of thing, she has naturally done well.

"If you want to report the crime, go ahead, but I will be here until the last thing is over."

"Won't you regret it?"

"If you run away, you will regret it even more."

"........."

Her life wasn't too bad, although she also experienced a lot of troubles, and she was not even married yet, but she still tried her best to live as much as possible.

Carry out your own beliefs, walk on your own path without regrets, at least for the parties involved, it's not too bad.

But if I have to say a little bit... there are still regrets.

It's just that in the end, I couldn't let my benefactor and family members realize my wish.

Obviously I have no regrets other than this, but when I think that my family members will not pass away safely in the end, I feel a little sad.

"You have seen so much darkness, and you have been dyed in pitch black. You still have something to care about."

That is natural.

Boa leaned against the wall and looked at the dim ceiling calmly.

He spoke as if talking to himself.

"Even a guy like me... wants to make the people he cares about happy."

The alcohol in the body finally began to be dissolved, gradually recovering my heart.

Elmes revealed a bit of displeasure.

Sure enough...it's impossible to have a completely happy day.

Memories that I didn't think of much in the past were pulled out piece by piece under the influence of similar emotions, which was helpless but impossible to ignore.

My own family members who have long since passed away.

What they were thinking at the end...maybe it was the same.

Elmes stood up slowly and tried to move his body.

It can be regarded as barely able to walk, and I will probably still have a hangover when I wake up tomorrow morning.

But unexpectedly, Elmes didn't go outside the door, but walked inside the door.

Bao'er was stunned suddenly.

"you......"

"What are you? Is the lyric over? It's so noisy."

Not paying too much attention to Elmes' indifferent attitude, Boa tilted her head.

"Aren't you... not an official?"

Elmes stretched his arms loosely, and stomped his feet to feel the sensation of stepping on the ground.

"I'm a fucking civil servant of Mond. Instead of talking about this and that, you might as well bribe me with the half of the previous treasure."

Although he actually doesn't take bribes at all.
