An Illustrated Guidebook To Other Races - Chapter 80
When the first ray of dawn fell in the dilapidated stables, the old woman lying in the haystack swallowed her last breath, with a serene and trance smile at the corner of her mouth, her eyes closed forever.
You followed her dying instructions and found the graves of her family and villagers buried in a bamboo forest behind the village. You dug a pit for her and buried the thin and cold body of the old woman in the mud. People in this world do not have the habit of erecting tombstones. They believe that after death, all creatures will turn into nourishment and return to the earth, nourish new life, and their souls will return to the embrace of the gods, waiting for the next reincarnation.
After the sun rises, the dark-skinned elves cannot stand with you in the bright sunlight because of the characteristics of the dark race. He wears a one-piece hooded skin that covers his feet and stands quietly under the shade of the tree. , The golden red eyes caged in the shadow of the brim of the hat silently watched your meaningless behavior, and the slightly frowned eyebrows revealed a bit of cold confusion and incomprehension.
Obviously you and this old woman just met by the water, without any interest in communication, but you are willing to do such a hard and futile thing for her. The selfish and indifferent nature of the night elves cannot understand your self-seeking hardship. There is no foolish act of remuneration.
Lu Weide has lived in the human world for many years. He has seen all kinds of human beings. They are greedy, cunning, or stupid and ignorant. They are willing to betray their relatives and friends for rights, status, wealth, etc., even if they step on countless people. The flesh and blood of the body will also climb up, like a greedy and deep bottomless pit, driven and controlled by one’s own instincts, and will never be satisfied.
This point is actually very similar to the nightfallen, so Luvad can often accurately guess the psychological changes and needs of the other party through the keen observation he has trained since childhood, and get the corresponding compensation money from the human employer. He never Do any transaction that is not profitable, so you can’t understand the existence of people like you.
In fact, you also have many shortcomings of ordinary people. You are timid and fearful, weak and incompetent. There are no lofty ambitions and ideals. You can feel very satisfied if you keep your duty on your insignificant ordinary happiness. You are content with the status quo and do not know how to make progress. It’s a role model for passive slack.
But it is just so plain that there is no one who can tell you, but he can’t look away from you.
Maybe from the outside, you can be regarded as a pretty girl, but in the eyes of the elves who are generally outstanding in appearance and Lu Weide who has seen all kinds of exotic beauties with different styles, your appearance can only be To be considered a delicate little beauty, she was still far from the stunning beauty who charmed all living beings.
But your body has a peaceful and gentle aura that no one else has. No matter how anxious and upset you feel, under your warm and clear gaze and soft and gentle words, you will slowly become quiet Calm down.
It’s like a cool and soft moonlight. Although it is not as dazzling as the blazing sun and the sunset is not beautiful, it is hard to ignore. Once indulged in it, it seems to be trapped in the mud and cannot get out.
This is probably why, people around you always like to stay by your side, even if you just listen to your softly speaking, or are watched by you with a gentle smile, they will feel very comfortable and calm.
Of course, you are not aware of this particularity of yourself, but occasionally you may feel a little confused and confused, why once people around you encounter something, they will subconsciously talk to you first, obviously you do not look like an experience Rich psychological counselor.
After paying homage to the old woman, you straighten up, patted the dirt and grass clippings on the corners of your skirt, and walked slowly towards the nightfallen who had been waiting for you for most of the day under the shade of the trees.
Although the old woman has been buried, your mood is still a little depressed, and the drooping eyelashes of the slightly reddish corners reveal a touch of sadness.
You didn’t look at Lu Weide, you just said in a low voice, “Mr. Lu Weide, we can go now.”
After waiting for a while, he didn’t see him respond. You raised your head with some doubts, but bumped into a pair of golden red eyes that were trapped in the shadow of the brim of the hat, which were extremely dark and dark.
Watching him like this, your heartbeat is a little flustered.
Did he discover something?
In your uneasy guess, the nightfallen bends his slender fingers and gently rubs the corner of your eye.
You bit your lip and trembled your lower eyelashes, and looked away uncomfortably.
“If one day, if I die, would you feel sorry for me?” Lu Weide asked you in a low tone that couldn’t hear any emotions.
Sorry for this person?
how is this possible!
You are not an unprincipled brain-dead, if this threat that has been hanging on your chest dies, you will probably eat two more bowls of rice happily, and you won’t feel sad for him at all.
It’s just that now your life and freedom are held in his hands, and he doesn’t dare to express his inner thoughts frankly.
And you have to use your crappy acting skills and lies to get through.
“Mr. Luvid is so powerful, he will definitely not die easily.” You didn’t answer his question directly, you chose a vague answer and wanted to fool it.
But the night elf seemed very dissatisfied with the answer. He suddenly leaned down and raised your face, making you have to look directly at his eyes at close range.
“If I die, will you cry for me?” He asked again very persistently.
Cry you big head ghost!
If you really die, I will cut two catties of onions and put them on your grave to worship you!
You cursed fiercely in your heart, but you didn’t dare to express it on your face. For fear that he would find your abnormality, you tried to replace the face of the handsome and abnormal dark-skinned elf in front of you with that of your sister Shalena.
If your sister died, you would probably cry to death.
As a result, the more you think about this possibility, the more sad you are. In the end, you can’t help but red your eyes, and the wet mist suddenly clouded your eyes.
“No, you won’t die…”
You really miss your sister. You have only been separated for a few months, but you feel as long as decades have passed.
Your whereabouts have been missing for so long. I don’t know how worried she is now. If it weren’t for the nasty night elf in front of you, you could return to your hometown and reunite with your sister as soon as possible.
The more you think about it, the more angry and sad you will see Lu Weide becoming more displeased. You stare at him sadly with red eyes, as if you could cry at any time.
Lu Weide didn’t seem to expect that he would just ask you on a whim and force you into this pitiful appearance, but he has no experience of coaxing people, even if he is familiar with those of the opposite **** who are pregnant with ghosts. The ** teasing is only for physiological venting or other purposes.
But you are different from those women.
He can’t use the tricks that deal with women on you.
Looking at your pitiful and sad expression, he rarely felt a little flustered, and even a little regretted why he asked this stupid question just now.
But deep in my heart, a strange joy and hope faintly emerged.
He mistook your expression for his worries and thoughts.
When you tried him last night, your shy expression on purpose was also very misleading.
I heard that human females are extremely easy to fall into the vulgar and vulgar plot of heroes saving the beauty, and he remembers that his appearance is still attractive to you.
Therefore, based on many coincidences, Lu Weide determined that you now have a vaguely favorable impression of him.
As long as he continues to endure and hibernate and get rid of all threatening opponents around you, then it will be a matter of time before you become tempted by him.
After drawing this conclusion in his mind, Lu Weide’s thinking mode suddenly became extremely flexible and cunning.
“I’m sorry, I shouldn’t have asked you this question.” The nightfallen rarely lowered his voice and whispered to you in an almost gentle tone.
When you feel so confused because of his inexplicable apology, the dark-skinned elf in front of you suddenly leaned over and dropped a soft kiss on your lips.
“I won’t bully you again next time.” The Nightfallen whispered in your ear with a voice with a slight smile.
“…”
You looked at the faint curve of Lu Weide’s lips in shock, and you only felt that your thinking could not keep up with the thoughts of this nightfallen elf.
The place where he kissed his lips still has his breath, and you feel unusually disgusting. If he weren’t still with you, you would have been tempted to wipe your lips with your sleeves.
The scorching day of the sun is an extremely bad time period for the nightfallen who love darkness. After leaving the village, Luweed did not take you to a more populous town, but took you to a sparsely populated village. , And a farmer in the village spent some money temporarily renting a guest room as your temporary resting place.
You suspect that this stingy dying night elves dislikes the high rents of hotels in towns, and will bring you to live in such cheap farm houses.
But now that you are penniless, you are naturally not qualified to live in an environment. It is a good place to have shelter from the wind and rain to sleep peacefully.
It’s not that you haven’t thought about running away from Lu Weide when he is not paying attention, but thinking of his magical methods and cruel nature, you are afraid that you will go back to find your sister, which will bring her danger and trouble again. , So you want to stay next to Lu Weide and try out his purpose before you plan otherwise.
Fortunately, Lu Weide doesn’t know that you have recovered your memory and magic. As long as you find out his purpose, you can contact the Holy See and encircle him inside and outside to catch him. You don’t have to worry about the safety of yourself and your sister. .
The first time your stupid trust in him almost ruined your friend and your own life, but luckily let you get back a small life, if he wants to exchange something with you, you won’t have a second life to lose. get up.
Although your appearance looks very docile and deceptive, you have a stubbornness of love and hatred in your bones.
Once the other party betrays your trust and hurts your friends and family, no matter how much compensation and pleading later he makes, you will never trust the other party and give him a second chance to hurt you.
Originally, you still wanted to slowly plan to figure out the purpose of Luvid, but when you rest at night, when you look at the nightfallen who is still sitting motionless by the bed, your head is suddenly stunned.
“Mr. Lu Weide, it’s late now, why don’t you go back and rest first.” You hurried away in a tactful tone.
“I only rented a room.” Lu Weide tilted his head, looking at you blankly.
The meaning in those beautiful golden red eyes was very obvious.
If you don’t want to sleep on the ground, you can only choose to sleep with him.
Your angry cheeks are slightly red.
How could there be such a shameless and stingy man in the world!
“Then you go to bed, I sleep elsewhere.”
When you pressed your anger and wanted to get out of bed with your pillow, the nightfall elf suddenly said: “Just kidding, you should rest as soon as possible. I will go to the next room to sleep.”
After talking about giving you no time to react, he turned out from the open window.
You froze for a moment, then felt a little dazed.
Didn’t he say to go to the next room to sleep?
Why turn out the window? And the movements are so proficient and smooth?
But you don’t want to worry about remembering him. Now that this nasty guy has gone out, you can have a good night’s sleep. After all, you are doing the digging and burial of the old lady in the morning by yourself. Your body is weak. It’s all aching, but now there is a place to rest and sleep, which is very luxurious for you.
So you lay on your side on the bed, and it didn’t take long for your breathing to gradually stabilize, and you fell into a groggy dreamland.
Less than a while after you fell asleep, a slender figure gently turned in from the window, and when the soles of your feet fell on the floor, it turned out to be like a cat’s pad without making any noise.
He stood by the bed and stared at your sleeping face for a moment, then suddenly unfastened his cloak and slightly hardened leather armor and placed it on the table, and then quietly slept beside you.
Stretching out your arms, you gently embrace you who are shrinking in the corner of the bed, let your head rest on his arms, and put one of your hands on his chest, making a very intimate hug. .
The slender and petite black-haired girl closed her eyes and leaned in the arms of the dark-skinned elf. For a while, the scene seemed very peaceful and beautiful.
In the quiet darkness, the night fallen elf whispered to himself.
“Good night, Mey.”
