People in Teyvat, starting from saving the grass god

Rhodes rarely showed such an expression, and Desiya's voice was somewhat worried.

"nothing."

"Well--"

"It's hard to talk about it. Forget it, I'll tell you when I have time."

No matter how much I think about the fact that I have the third eye of god, it is not easy to talk about it.

It doesn't matter to Desiya if she knows.

But it is inconvenient for others to know this.

And now was not the time to talk about it. Rhodes, who was feeling a little depressed, waved his hand casually, took Kawei out and went straight to Aru Village.

soon.

The two of them saw Candice waiting for them at the entrance of the village.

"Mr. Rhodes, and this Mr. Carvey, come with me."

Candice, who had been notified by Rhodes in advance, remained the same as before, speaking softly but not very enthusiastic.

Follow her around the village.

initial.

Thinking about the fact that he was about to see the house where his father once lived, Kawei still felt quite complicated. He didn't know how he would face this matter when the time came.

Then he discovered it as he walked.

This Rhodes seems to be very unpopular in Aru Village.

The young lady who calls herself the guardian walks in front, and everyone who sees her will greet her warmly.

But as soon as these people saw Rhodes, they all felt as if they had seen a ghost, and they quickly walked away from him as soon as possible.

This made Kavi couldn't help but be surprised.

Rhodes had a pretty good impression on him. He cooked delicious food, was highly knowledgeable and experienced, and was also good at farming. He heard that he had taken care of the injured Adebayi and the child Kelai by himself before. , his heart doesn't look bad either.

Why are people in this village so afraid of him?

At this time, Rhodes, who was walking side by side with Kawei, said quietly: "Because I ignored the rules of the village and killed someone, and I haven't been punished yet."

"kill?"

Kawei's expression was startled, and his eyes towards Rhodes changed slightly.

This guy can still kill people?

"In the desert, you can't help yourself."

Rhodes chuckled: "You will know if you live here for a long time. Although violence is not the solution to the problem, violence can solve the people who caused the problem."

As soon as the words came out.

Candice couldn't help but look back at him.

"Miss Candice, do you think what I said is wrong?"

Seeing this, Rhodes grinned at Candice.

"No, I think you are right."

To Kawei's surprise, this seemingly amiable guardian actually agreed with Rhodes' statement.

"hehe."

Seeing Kawei's surprised expression, Rhodes patted him on the shoulder: "Take your time, you will get used to it in the future."

While talking.

The three of them came to a clean house.

it's here.

There was an old woman sitting in front of the door, fanning herself leisurely.

As soon as she saw Candice coming, she immediately stood up and greeted her with a smile: "Miss Candice, you are here."

"Grandma Lishti, this is the Mr. Kawei I told you about yesterday."

After Candice replied with a smile, she handed over Kawi and Rhodes to the old woman named Lishti.

"Well, it looks like, it looks like, it really looks like."

As soon as Candice left, Lishti started to circle around Kavi and kept saying things like.

For a long time.

She just came out of her memories and said melancholy: "It is indeed that person's child, they all look exactly the same."

"You, do you know my father?"

Kavi's voice was trembling.

If he was skeptical at first, now that Lishti said this, he seemed to have some kind of telepathy and was sure that the 'man' Lishti was talking about was his father.

"I don't know if he's your father."

"He never said his name to us, he just helped us."

Lishti sighed and hunched over to the house with her hands behind her back: "Come on, kid, let's talk here."

Same as outside.

The house is also clean.

You don't need to think about it. Someone must come to clean it regularly.

There was not much furniture in the room, just a table and a chair, not even a bed or wardrobe.

After entering the door, Lishti picked up a small rag and wiped the old furniture while saying to Kawei and Rhodes: "It was not like this here before, but you all know the conditions in the village. There are not many things. These two items are the last items in this family that can be preserved for more than twenty years.”

then.

She began to tell what happened that year.

"This started twenty years ago."

"Life in the village was much harder at that time than it is now."

"Poverty, disease, ignorance."

"These problems are bothering us all the time."

"Until a young man from the Self-religious Order came to the village."

Hear this.

A touch of sadness suddenly appeared on Kawei's face.

It was precisely because he said that he thought the crown at the college celebration was particularly beautiful that his father decided to participate in the competition, win the championship for Kavi, and give the crown to him to play with for a few days.

At that time, the event was not complicated, and Kawi's father was recognized as being able to win.

But it's a pity.

He ultimately missed the championship and disappeared for a period of time after the game. Then Kawi and his mother received the news that his father had died unexpectedly in the desert.

This incident became an eternal nail in Kawei's heart, and he could not pull it out no matter how hard he tried.

Today it is today.

He felt that his words killed his father.

"Don't think about the past anymore, focus on the present, for example, listen to Grandma Lishti tell your father's story."

Rod's relief was effective.

Kavi immediately came out of the shadow of the past and listened to Lishti's story with rapt attention.

"That young man, he is obviously a genius from the Order Academy and has a bright future, but he is willing to suffer here with us."

"He taught us knowledge so that children can recognize words, read, and live a better life."

"He also told us how to deal with sandstorms and monsters."

"Well, he taught us the suspension bridges and measures to prevent sandstorms in the village."

"Ugh--"

"We were so poor at that time that we couldn't even afford medicinal materials. Many people had to wait to die when they got sick."

"After he saw it, he spent all his money to buy medicine and personally took care of those who were sick."

"What a pity, what a pity."

“Good people don’t live long——”

At this point, Lishti's voice became sad.

And Kawei was trembling slightly, crying a little, and asked with difficulty: "He, how did he die?"

"At that time, your father would often leave the village and go to the desert for inspections."

"One time I asked him what he was looking for?"

"He said he wanted to talk to a guy named Naga or something from the group."

"Later, when he went on an inspection trip, he encountered a caravan that got stuck in quicksand on the way back. He saved many people, but he didn't come back."

Speaking of it.

Kawei couldn't control his emotions at all, and tears fell from his eyes.

And after Lishti said the next words, the tears on his face couldn't stop.

"It was right here that we found half a letter he had not finished writing to his children and his wife."

"After he died, my son took the broken letter with him, thinking that there might be some opportunity in the future to help him pass it on to his children."

"But he didn't even leave his name. We tried many methods and asked many people, but we never found where his child was."

Incomplete letter!

Kawei wiped away his tears and asked anxiously: "Is the letter still there?"

"No more."

Speaking of this, Lishti lowered her head in shame and said with sadness in her voice: "In order to live a better life, my son became a mercenary. Just a few years ago, his mercenary group There was a conflict with another mercenary group, and he lost his life, and all his belongings were taken away. "

"Ugh--"

When he heard that the letter was gone, Kawei closed his eyes and sighed in disappointment.

"I'm sorry that I couldn't leave a letter from your father."

Lishti said apologetically: "Your father has helped us so much, but we couldn't even do this little thing. I'm really sorry, I'm sorry."

"I don't blame you."

"It would be better if I came earlier."

Kawei comforted Lishti, who was in tears, and then looked at Rhodes and said, "Rhodes, can you let me be alone here for a while?"

"it is good."

Rod nodded and left the house with Lishti.

only.

They just went out.

He heard a cry that had been suppressed for a long time coming from the room. There was regret, annoyance, and relief in the cry, as if the burden that had been weighing on him for many years was finally lifted.

"They really have exactly the same personality."

After saying this, Rhodes shook his head slightly and sat at the door, waiting for Kawei to vent his emotions.
