Heartbreaker

It was night, the cold moon and stars were covered by thick clouds, leaving only the empty sky.After the bodies of their friends were packed away, the five children curled up sadly and fell asleep.Ammo, the broken arm, stood by the fire with his chin in his hands, dozed off with his head shaking, and was awakened by a child's sleep talk from time to time, and he was relieved only to ensure that they were safe and sound.

"One...two...three...four...five..."

With sleepy eyes open, he whispered to confirm the number of children.He turned his head to look at the crackling flames for a while, and suddenly broke out in cold sweat, stood up from the stone, and looked around in panic!

"Barbara!..." Broken-arm Eminem yelled anxiously while taking care not to wake up the child, "Barbara..."

After he found a rock, he saw the outline of a woman sitting upright through the hazy shadow, and rushed over, shouting, "Barbara!"

"……slim Shady."

When Barbara heard the call, she turned her head cautiously and called out in a trembling voice.The moment Emu with the broken arm saw her face, he almost held his breath.

The woman held a machete used by bandits in her hand, and the blade was dripping with bright red blood.Her face was cut into two long and deep bloody gashes from the middle, and the scarlet knife wounds lay across her delicate eyebrows and delicate nose bridge, and the blood continued to bleed, which was creepy.

"You're crazy!" Broken-arm Amu hurriedly took out a bottle of medicine from her underwear, sweated profusely, cleaned up the blood on the woman's face, applied brown medicine powder, and wrapped it clumsily with gauze. Two fluffy "big white worms" came out.

Barbara laughed and said wearily, "Don't be nervous, no one will die."

"What are you doing?" Broken Arm Amu said angrily, "Scratch your own face, do you really want to make mistakes?"

"It's not that I'm looking for guilt..." The woman lowered her head silently, her eyes were red, and she forced an ugly smile, "I just think... as long as I disfigured and turned into an ugly woman, I might be less than I am now." A lot of trouble..."

Broken-arm E-Mu was stunned, "Ugly woman?"

She threw away the blood-stained scimitar, her chest heaved in pain, her eyes were filled with tears, and she suppressed sobbing and said, "Yeah... ugly woman, the way I am now... is ridiculous... I used to be ten years old... For several years, I have been thinking about how to be more beautiful and attract the attention of men... and I am still suffering from being an ugly dwarf...but now... now I feel..."

She covered her gauze-covered face and cried bitterly, "A pretty face is useless at all! I can't protect myself, let alone my children... because I don't want to feel guilty, I hurt them." Lost their lives...how small they are...what does it matter if I become ugly? As long as I can do everything possible not to hurt them, even if I turn ugly into a toad|toad|toad, it's completely..."

"..." Broken Arm Eminem was silent for a moment, then said, "Actually, you are not ugly, Barbara."

"..."

The woman stopped crying in a daze, moved her hands covering her cheeks, and stared blankly at the man in front of her.Emu with the broken arm scratched his head, although his voice was very low, the eyes that looked at her were full of sincerity.

"You are not ugly, no matter in the past or now, you are not ugly at all. At least I think so..."

He hesitated but said solemnly, "You are the most beautiful woman I have ever seen, Barbara."

Barbara stared blankly at Eminem with the broken arm, her shoulders trembled uncontrollably, and tears welled up in her eyes.Broken Arm Em laughed awkwardly, "Also, even if you were a dwarf back then... the dance was pretty good, I appreciate it very much. Don't believe me. I didn't lie to you, I even whistled to you Well... I was overwhelmed by the yelling and scolding of other idiots, and my elder brother even laughed at me..."

"I... Eminem... I..." the woman said incoherently, suddenly choked up, and hugged the man in front of her with tears streaming down her face!

"Only you have said these things to me..." the woman cried, "Only you..."

The broken-arm Ah Mu was stunned for a moment, listening to the heartbroken cry of the woman, silently patted her on the back.

Immediately, his eyes turned red, he sniffed, stared at the dark night sky above his head, and said, "Don't be sad, don't be afraid, I will definitely find a place for you... I will leave after everything is settled. Don't worry, nothing will happen to you, I will never break my promise..."

****

Broken Arm Eminem sometimes feels that neither God nor Satan is fair.The eldest brother Raiger was fierce and fierce, many times stronger than him, but he died under the scythe of the undead; the younger brother Ie was calm and sharp, and his intelligent brain always kept calm, but he died in a desolate ruin in the end.

And he has been the least tempered and incapable of the three brothers since he was a child. He only knows how to hang out with the strong elder brother and the shrewd younger brother, fight in groups, and become a muddleheaded hooligan.

The most mediocre he became the only survivor.

A day ago, Emu, who had a broken arm, was lying on the hotel bed, looking back on his life in the thick darkness, and felt that he had done nothing of value except to share the joys and sorrows with his brothers.So much so that when he thought that his life span was coming to an end, he felt unwilling for no reason.

But unwillingness is just unwillingness, the eldest brother and younger brother are still waiting for him in the sky.The three disabled brothers will never be separated, even if they become dead souls, he cannot be absent.

Then, he met Barbara who was abused by bandits, and the children who were exiled in the wilderness together.When he smashed the heads of those thieves with a chain hammer furiously, looking at the terrified and grateful eyes of the women and children, he suddenly felt that this might be one of the few correct things he did in his life. one of the things.

——I will definitely help you find a place to stay, and I will never break my promise.

Thinking about it this way, he almost escorted the women and children out of the northern border with an almost pious heart.

He asked what kind of village Barbara would like to live in, and she simply said, "Just go to the birthplace of your three brothers."

Broken Arm Amu laughed, "That's not a rich place."

"It's okay." Barbara also smiled, two flesh-colored scars like caterpillars stretched across her face, but she couldn't stop her smile, "I grew up in a brothel since I was a child, and there was nothing to go to... When I think of the place where you were born, I also have an inexplicable sense of familiarity."

"It's okay." Broken-arm Emu said, flicking his horsewhip, driving the carriage on the steep path, "Anyway, we have our own small courtyard and house, which is enough for you to settle down."

****

After traveling for more than ten days, the carriage stopped in a remote and quiet small village.

The sunset sprinkled orange halos on the green forest branches and leaves, and the smoke curled up from the top of the long black chimney.Boundless expanses of verdant meadows bloom with colorful wildflowers, their slender stems swaying in the breeze that brushes past.

The blue Cangshan Mountain is vast and far away, and it seems that you can still hear crisp and sweet pastoral songs.

Barbara opened the curtain, stepped out of the carriage, and saw the bright yellow huts and gray-white fences soaked in the yellow sunset, as well as the turning water wheel and the farmers driving the cart, she couldn't help admiring, "It's so beautiful. place!"

Arm Broken Arm said, "A small nameless village. It was originally on the border of the Wanjiang Empire, but now the Emperor Dog probably doesn't bother to care about it."

The journey has finally come to an end.After taking the last child out of the car, Eminem with the broken arm picked up his brother's ashes again, thinking that his own life would also come to an end.

He took the woman and child back to his home.After many years, the door lock was corroded and broke with a snap.Opening the gate, the dilapidated furnishings in the courtyard were the same as usual, only covered with thick dust.

With the broken arm, Emu quietly stared at the familiar gray-walled hut and the small yard overgrown with weeds, and seemed to see the figures of the three brothers who used to run and play in the yard.

Touching the scene and reminiscing, the most hurtful.After the soreness at the tip of her nose eased, E-Mu with the broken arm turned around, avoiding the eyes of women and children, as if she was hiding something deeply buried in her heart, and walked towards the door quickly!

He said loudly, "That's it! Barbara, I'll bury the ashes of Eldest Brother and Ai Er. May you and these children live happily and peacefully. From now on, I will never..."

"father!"

Suddenly, an immature child's voice called him.

With the broken arm, E'Mu paused, and the hands clutching the package suddenly trembled uncontrollably.

"Dad, Daddy!"

A loud, longing cry, from one voice to two.Until the five children yelled loudly, shouting "Father", they ran forward and hugged the cripple with the broken arm together.

"Father?... Children, don't be like this..." The man's eye circles suddenly turned red, and he was at a loss as he pushed the child who was sticking to him like brown sugar, "No... I'm not your father..."

As he said that, he managed to get out of the encirclement of the children, and raised his legs to rush out of the house——

"slim Shady."

Barbara stood at the door and called him.Emu with the broken arm stopped by the door, his broad back was as motionless as a mountain, but his eyes were full of hot tears.

"I..." He choked up, covering his face with rough palms in disbelief.

"Em." Barbara called softly, her slightly curved eyes were also shining with crystal light, "Em..."

With a plop, the package between the arms fell to the ground, and the burly man over eight feet tall suddenly knelt on the ground and burst into tears.Other children wanted to help him, but they were hugged by the one-armed man.They didn't understand why the other party was crying bitterly, they just stretched out their dirty little hands, trying to wipe away the tear stains on the man's face.

The woman with honey-colored hair stood quietly in the yard, watching this scene with a smile.She stared at the man's trembling shoulders and arched back, and suddenly walked briskly down the threshold, like a dancing butterfly, landed in the middle of the courtyard, and together with the child, stretched out her arms to hug the kneeling and howling man tightly into her arms .

"I will wait for you to come back..." the woman choked up, but she showed a happy smile, and the teardrops that slid down her cheeks shone like diamonds, "I will always wait for you to come back, Eminem."

****

The setting sun is like blood, and the huge light wheel is gradually swallowed up by the horizon, revealing a dark dome.

There is no cloud in the sky tonight, the blue velvet sky is covered with silvery white stars, the quiet chirping of insects is rustling and echoing in the forest, the sky is filled with bright stars, and the land is surrounded by mountains.

****

Under the dark blue sky, the cold wind blew across the sea of ​​trees, raising black and green waves.A carriage was galloping on the road paved with bricks and stones. The driver hid his face in the shadows, held the rein with one hand, and slapped the horse's hip with the other, yelling at the blind gray mane horse to drive along the road .

"Hey, dad! Do you think the emperor would like me to wear this lace dress?"

In the carriage, Demier took out a skirt from the suitcase with great interest, and placed it in front of her body, fiddling with it, her cheeks flushed with excitement.Her father, the former foreign minister of Vulture City, Richard Auliting, was wiping the hot sweat off his bald head with a silk handkerchief, holding a gold pendant in his hand, and looking out of the car window anxiously.

The girl pouted angrily, "Dad!"

Richard returned to God, "Hey, what's wrong?"

"You've been looking out for an hour!" Demi threw her skirt on the ground angrily, "I called you so many times, but you ignored me!"

Richard hurriedly said, "Oh, my precious little angel, Dad is worried! We won't be in the Twilight Empire for a moment, I'm afraid—I'm afraid—"

Dai Mier widened her eyes and said, "What are you afraid of?"

Richard swallowed, motioned for Demier to come closer, and said in a hoarse voice, "I'm afraid...someone will harm our father and daughter..."

"How could it be?" Demier curled her lips disapprovingly, "This is the carriage sent by the emperor, and asked to send us safely to the Twilight Empire..."

咴——! !

At this moment, the horse outside the carriage suddenly raised its hooves and roared, and rushed forward desperately!The father and daughter screamed, and were thrown to the ground by the violent bumps in the car.Demi bumped into the metal buckle of the delicate suitcase, felt the blood on her forehead, burst into tears, and shouted, "Ah——Dad, I'm disfigured! There will definitely be an ugly scar growing here in the future , will His Majesty the Emperor hate me?!"

Richard had no time to care about his daughter's willful crying. He struggled to get to the door amidst the violent shaking of the car, lifted the curtain and called, "Cheerer, please control the horse—"

In the next second, he was stunned, and the blood on his cheeks faded away!

"No one!!" The bald foreign minister shouted hysterically and terrified, "No one is driving!!"

Not only was there no one driving, Richard discovered that the carriage had already deviated from the road and turned into a secluded woods!They were now galloping along a path through the woods.The horse that was blind in one eye was poked blind in the other eye at this time, and thick blood coagulated in the eye socket.The pain drove it to run wildly, and the wheels ran over jagged stones and mud puddles, and the whole carriage almost fell apart.

Richard gripped the reins in a panic, and screamed amidst the whistling wind, "Stop—stop!!"

With a whimper, he felt light all over, as if he had been lifted into the air.In fact, this is indeed the case. The carriage they rode drove out of the cliff at a lightning speed, and the hooves of the blind horse kicked wildly in mid-air and neighed sharply.The foreign minister, Richard, and the screaming daughter in the car were knocked out of the carriage by the huge momentum, flew into the air, and fell straight down from the cliff——

"Ahhhh-"

Several shrill screams echoed in the empty valley, startling the crows resting on the branches.After a long time, the rocky cliffs swallowed up the last muffled echo, and only the hooting of owls remained in the dark forest, as well as the emerald eyes of wild cats in the bushes.

The author has something to say: Thank you everyone who has followed here!

In fact, speaking from the text, the story of the third volume ends here. The dangerous northern map is over, and the team has also undergone personnel changes_(:з」∠)_According to the usual practice, there should be "" who belonged to the disabled three brothers. Interlude", Volume [-] can officially come to an end~

Let me tell you about the upcoming new map.When Ben Tuo was writing this article, it was expected to be a maximum of 40w, four volumes of adventure plus a final volume that revealed the truth.But I didn't expect the plot to be dragged on for so long in Volume [-], I believe everyone is very tired, and really want to see the ending... In fact, I really want to write to the ending as soon as possible!I even considered whether to cut the outline, and combine the final volume and the four volumes into one... But after repeated consideration, I felt that cutting the outline would still cause a sense of fragmentation (crying), so I could only continue to write down the number of words.

Spoiler about the new map - the story of the fourth volume takes place in the "Tumor Church" with the monk Popolo as the core (I feel that Western Fantasy does not mention the "Church" seems to be missing something hahahaha).Although there will be a small heavyweight boss appearing on the stage, the actual amount of plot is about the same as volume 10, which is expected to be less than [-]w (shivering).The reason why I chose to keep this volume is because the connotation theme of this volume is the volume closest to the truth at present, and the key plot is still the foreshadowing of the follow-up, so it cannot be deleted rashly.So, little angels who have been chasing updates, please tolerate the "foot wrap" that is a roll of this mound (Dogeza)

In addition, in addition!Because there is always a discrepancy between the official text and the outline, I am also adjusting the outline at any time according to the text, and some plot details that were previously spoiled may change (for example, I deleted the plot where Luo questioned God, otherwise it would be really useless) But TE (Best ending) is the same!

Let's talk about these first.Anyway, it’s the first time I’ve written such a long article, and it’s incredible that I can continue… I’m really grateful for your support!You are all little angels! QQ
