He is From Great Sea of Stars - Chapter 60
Isa was a child who grew up with a standard Imperial education.
As one of the candidates for the next heir to the gods of the kingdom of Tia, the place she went to most from childhood to adulthood was the temple.
For a long, long time, her schedule was standard and strict.
In the morning, I bowed down to the statue of God, prayed to God before meals, thanked God for His protection after dinner, sang hymns of God every day, and at the end of each page of the diary was a tribute to God.
Grandpa told her that God sheltered all the people in the city, God taught people conscience and morality, and made them stand up and face the enemy bravely.
In her heart, she has always been proud of being a descendant of the Protoss.
Because she is one of the lucky ones closest to the faith.
And that old man, after several dynasties, was still in high spirits.
He told her that no matter whether you are rich or poor, or whether you are close or distant, everyone is the same in the eyes of God.
They are already very lucky, and the blood of God flows in their bodies, so when the war comes, they must always stand at the forefront and help God to protect the civilians behind them.
In Isa’s heart, grandfather is her most respectable elder and a mentor who leads her forward. His figure is not tall, but he is very great.
– And today, all her beliefs are shattered.
Huo Xingchao told her that the girl was her sister.
As she boldly guessed before, half-sister.
In the year Ermi was born, her eyes happened to be injured. No matter what medicines she took, she tried thousands of methods, but she still couldn’t see the color. So Grandpa thought about it and asked people to exchange the eyes of the sisters.
The healthy pair was given to myself, leaving Ermi a black and white world.
……
Isa didn’t want to believe it, and couldn’t believe it.
But in the past few years, whether it was the strange symptoms she felt, the vague words of Uncle Shi, or even the very similar symptoms that Huo Xingchao said, she had to believe it.
“why are you crying?”
The young man turned his head, saw her tears dripping down one by one, sneered, his tone was very light,
“Ermi is more uncomfortable with these unfamiliar eyes than you, and she has never received complete treatment for so many years. The pain you have experienced, she has experienced, and it is even a hundred times more painful than you.”
“Whether you know it or not, you are the biggest beneficiary of this matter. If you want to cry back and cry with your grandfather, you are not qualified to cry in front of Ermi.”
……
The girl lowered her head, wiped away her tears, and her voice was low, with a hint of fragility,
“I really don’t know, maybe my grandfather, he also has difficulties…”
“I don’t want to know your grandfather’s troubles.”
Huo Xingchao leaned against the courtyard door and looked at her coldly, “I’ll just ask you one question, are you still not returning these eyes?”
“I…..”
Isa was stunned for a while, then raised her head and slammed into the boy’s cold-like eyes, biting her lip, not knowing what to say.
Would she like to give her eyes back to Holmi?
– She should be willing.
Faith and education from childhood told her that she must be willing, otherwise she is betraying God, betraying her own beliefs and oaths.
But she was afraid of willing.
For some things, if you haven’t experienced it, you might not know that kind of pain.
But once you have experienced it, you have lost it again, and you are faced with another loss, the pain will be 10,000 times deeper than the first loss.
Isa has seen a world with only black and white grayscale.
for several months.
At that time, the most thing she did was to remember.
Every time I see something, I recall the color it should have in my mind. At the beginning, she felt uneasy and frightened, and could not help crying secretly.
Later, it gradually became numb, except for the occasional sentimentality, the rest was all resigned indifference.
I have never been to the garden again, and I have never picked up a paintbrush again. What I do most every day is to practice swords and pray for the goddess in the temple.
During that time, what she saw, felt, and thought in her heart were all the same endless darkness.
Later, Uncle Shi suddenly told her that her eyes could actually be cured.
The day when she saw the colorful world again, Isa excitedly circled the city several times, then ran into the temple crying and thanked the goddess for an afternoon.
That was the first time she discovered that something she had been accustomed to for more than ten years turned out to be so precious.
But now, are you going to lose it again…
Isa bowed her head and was silent for a long time.
After a long time, Huo Xingchao’s expression has become very cold, the end of his eyes narrowed, the eyes that fell on her were full of chills, and the eyes were dyed with a light red light.
It doesn’t matter if you don’t want to.
Sooner or later, he will dig out these eyes and return the broken eyes to the disgusting and hypocritical Protoss.
Anyway, when he asked this question at the beginning, it was not in the mind of discussing with her.
“If…if I promise, are you guaranteed to get it back successfully?”
The girl raised her head, her voice trembling slightly despite her efforts to remain calm, “There is only one ninth-level doctor in Tia country, but Uncle Shi is the only one.”
“You don’t need to worry about it. You just need to cooperate. When you close your eyes, once you get up, I will return your eyes to you in their entirety.”
“When are you going to change?”
The teenager paused, “One year later.”
Isa was a little surprised.
“There is a medicinal herb, and it will take a year to mature.”
He raised his eyes lightly, “You answer me directly, are you willing to cooperate?”
“…Can I meet her.”
……
“Brother, you are back.”
The little girl raised her head and saw Huo Xingchao who had pushed in the door. She immediately put down the book in her hand, ran over, and threw herself on the teenager’s lap.
But when he turned around, he saw the eldest sister beside him again, and he couldn’t help blinking, a little curious.
“This is my brother’s friend, you can just call her sister Isa.”
Ermi smiled sweetly and said in a clear voice, “Sister Isa!”
Isa stood blankly at the door, not knowing how to react, and finally nodded awkwardly.
“Hello Ermi.”
“Let’s talk, I’ll go and change first.”
Huo Xingchao stood up straight, put down the little girl in his hand, said something lightly, and walked into the house with his feet up.
……
“Ermi, how old are you this year?”
“Four years!”
“Ermi is reading, do you know all these words?”
“Some know it, some don’t.”
The little girl raised her head and said softly, “But it has pinyin on it.”
Looking at the big blue eyes of the little girl, Isa couldn’t help but be a little lost, and said in a daze, “Ermi’s eyes are so beautiful.”
“Sister, your eyes are also beautiful, just like the sea.”
“Can you see my eye color?”
Isa blurted out, but she realized something was wrong after she said it, and waved her hand quickly, feeling a little helpless, “I’m sorry Ermi, my sister didn’t mean that.”
Ermi felt nothing.
She can’t see the color, many children around know it. I used to go out to play, and I was often ridiculed and bullied by them because of this. It wasn’t until my brother found out that he had taught them a good lesson.
So she smiled, her brows curved,
“It doesn’t matter. Actually, I can’t see the color of my sister’s eyes, but I don’t know what color the sea is. I just think that your eyes are as beautiful as the sea.”
“Sister Isa, are your eyes the same color as the sea? My brother said my eyes are blue too. He also said that blue is the color of the sky.”
“……yes.”
“My eyes are the color of the sky and the sea, my hair is the color of the sun, my mouth is the color of strawberry candy, and my skin is the color of sweet milk.”
The little girl’s eyes were bent into slits, and she smiled brightly, “I’m really lucky!”
Isa held back the tears in her eyes and couldn’t help but ask, “But you can’t see these colors, but everyone can see them. Where are you lucky?”
“But Uncle Mo has no legs yet.”
The little girl blinked, “Grandma Alu, who sells vegetables outside the alley, can’t hear anything, and can’t speak. She is so pitiful.”
“Of course I’m lucky.”
“And my brother said that it’s not my fault that I can’t see the color. It’s God who thinks that I’m too good-looking. For the sake of fairness, I can’t see the color.”
“Sister Isa, my brother said something, he said, don’t take what I don’t have as unhappy, but take what I have as happiness, and I will become happy.”
……
Children are very forgetful and cannot express in many places, but Isa knows the original words of this sentence.
It’s a word in the canon.
On the first page, she has read it countless times since she was a child, and recited it countless times in the temple.
– Don’t take what you don’t have as misfortune, take what you have as luck.
Everyone in the world is a child of God and a descendant of God.
……
Isa stood up, looked at the ignorant eyes of the little girl, raised her head, tried her best to smile, and then rushed into the back room, facing the boy standing at the window, tears pouring down like rain.
“I’ll change.”
……
Those Protoss closest to God were not so noble and arrogant.
They also have selfish intentions, they also use means, and in their hearts, they also send people out to see, and they are just some people who are a little bit ahead.
Isa stood under the huge city wall and looked at the black giant wall.
It was as if I heard the low growl that came from the last war.
She turned around again and looked at the boy who was gradually walking out of the foggy forest.
It seems like they haven’t seen each other for almost a year.
During the year, she never went to that small courtyard again, nor did she train as hard as before.
She turned around, went to several neighboring countries, and saw many different towns and mountains and rivers.
She wants to keep these scenes deep in her mind.
Finally, she thought of the one-year appointment and returned to the foggy forest.
Between the huge city wall and the boundless forest, the young man’s figure is tall and straight, blood dripping from his arms, but behind him seems to be dragging thousands of stars and dazzling lights.
He looked at her lightly.
firmly etched into the mind.
– with thousands of colors.
