Chapter 223 Gentle

If you are on the streets of Jordan, ask a random civilian to comment on “Zhou Li” For humans, there is usually only one answer.

Who is he hooking?

Yes, until now, everyone knew that “Detective Folders” shined in grotesque cases, but was completely ignorant of Zhou Li’s identity. For some reasons, the Battle of Jordan Tower did not immediately open the entire process to the public, but only announced the news that the source of the plague had been lifted, without saying anything about the specific content. Therefore, the whole of Jordan does not know who exactly saved them.

Of course, it would be unrealistic to expect Zhou Li to laugh at the matter regardless of fame and fortune.

“You haven’t declared your identity yet?”

Bai Ziluo, Ivey picked up the tea on the side, took a sip and asked indifferently: “We need to declare hero’s to the outside world. Chamber of Commerce?”

“Not for the time being.”

Zhou Li thought for a moment, then Heizi dropped, picked up the teacup and replied: “No need for us to tell the nobles, they will naturally I know that you belong to the force of the hero. As for the ordinary person, needless to say for the time being, just use your own name, I have other uses.”

“Okay.”

With a sound, the white stone fell, and the game was over.

“Five sons in a row, I won.”

Wiping a cold sweat, Aiwei smiled charmingly and finally relaxed.

Looking at the two people playing Gobang in front of him, Kaya, who was dragged by Ivey to the side as the referee, looked indifferent, and then stood up swayingly, never wanting to talk to him again. These two mean adults played.

“You won’t let your boss.”

Zhou Li, who lost four games in a row, immediately flew into a rage out of humiliation and directly used the chessboard for The black mist rolled up and put it aside, “Mummy, why are you all so good at playing?”

“Please, how long has it been since Chonghuang invented these things?”

Ivey laughed, didn’t care, he knew that if Zhou Li really wanted to cheat himself, he wouldn’t have tried to cheat three times in a row under Kaya’s watch just now.

“I’m here to copy it all.”

Zhou Li shrugged the head regretfully. Like many common problems that traveled late, he didn’t have much to copy in this world. something. Before he came, Chonghuang did all the things that he could come up with without too much brains, as for those chemical or physical inventions.

Please, people here can rub diamonds by hand.

“Speaking of which, is it really good for us to play chess here?”

At this time, the entire “hero united Chamber of Commerce” only consists of these two stinky chess players who compete against Gobang. There is no work to do, other people more or less have their own things to do. Ivy rubbed his chin, grinned and said, “I’m busy, so I always feel uncomfortable if I don’t do anything.”

“Are you dragging the floor?”

Zhou Li glanced at the stinky chess basket No. 2 strangely, “What can we do? There’s nothing left to do. Why don’t you bite into a small lit array and I’ll give you some gifts.”

Automatically filtered out Zhou Li’s words that, although incomprehensible, must have abstract meanings, Ivey scratched his cheek, tsk tsk twice, “It’s mainly because I’m usually busy, and there’s a big big one right away. I always feel like being idle is not quite right.”

“Well…it’s true.”

Zhou Li thought about it, and agreed with Ivy after nodded. Then he threw the thorny silver vine to Ivey and said to him: “Well, you go to the Hunter Guild and show this they can let you in. You tell their president, don’t forget to join me tomorrow. I will take office as ceremony.”

After speaking, Zhou Li touched his pocket again and handed Ivey a calling card.

“The old man definitely doesn’t want to come, you give him this and tell him Geralster will go.”

The calling card Zhou Li gave to Ivy is for summon Jellyfish Vera’s token, took the calling card, and Ivey got up and prepared to leave, heading to the Hunter Chamber of Commerce.

“By the way, are you sure Geralst will be there tomorrow?”

It was only when Ivey got dressed that Ivy remembered this. He had discussed Geralster with Zhou Li just now, and the answer he got was that there was no way he could be brought in in a short period of time. Now Zhou Li asked him to invite President Hunter Guild in the name of Gerrost’s presence, which made him have a bad guess.

“Of course not.”

Zhou Li continued to look at him with that strange look, as it should be by rights: “I lied to Erwin. , why do you still believe it?”

“Uh uh.”

Ivey was at a loss for words, but thinking of Zhou Li normally’s behavior, he was relieved.

After closing the door, only Zhou Li was left in the empty mansion. Even Kaya and Elma went out to buy food for dinner, and only she was spoiling.

No, not anymore!

Standing up from the sofa, Zhou Li took a deep breath and walked into the room slowly.

Afterwards, he lay on the bed.

Even if it is placed, it must be placed on the bed.

****************************

Torea sat in the chair, Her legs were covered with a blanket lent to her by the old hotel lady. Holding a cup of hot cocoa, she gazed at the smoggy sky and the dilapidated Jordan Tower in the distance.

“Little Torreya…”

There was a knock on the door, Torreya’s ears moved, then she put the blanket aside, stood up, and pushed open the door .

“How’s it going? Do you live in the habit?”

The white-haired old man with a kind face was holding a tray with two pieces of baked golden toast on the tray. , a few strips of bacon, and a sun egg.

“Mother Wenya, just ring the bell next time, I’ll just go get it myself.”

Torreya took the tray and put it on the table, she raised her ear Scattered hair, replied softly: “It’s really nice here, and your blanket is comfortable.”

“That’s good.”

The old man named Wen Ya laughed, she Looking at the woman who was as cold as the moon in front of her, her eyes were full of softness, “Little Torreya, how long are you going to stay in Jordan?”

“Can you tell that I’m not from Jordan?”

p>

Torreya pointed to herself and asked suspiciously. Then she realized that her behavior was a little silly, and quickly put down her hand, and her ears were also stained with a touch of crimson.

“Of course, everyone can see it.”

My mother-in-law is a very enthusiastic person. When she saw Torreya walking aimlessly on the street that day, she was afraid of her. She was a resident around the Jordan Tower. She wanted to go near the Jordan Tower and quickly dragged her into her small hotel. Later in the conversation, I learned that the daughter of mother-in-law Wenya is a Templar Knight who has been on assignments recently, and her wife died of pneumonia two years ago, so she ran the hotel by herself.

Sitting on the chair next to her, Granny Wenya looked at the clean and tidy bed and said gently, “You have a different temperament than the Jordanian people, and this kind of temperament is rare. .”

“en?”

Torreya was stunned for a moment, and asked in confusion, “What kind of temperament?”

“Lonely.”

“Huh?”

Torreya frowned slightly, and her face became more puzzled. Seeing Torreya like this, Granny Wenya showed a loving look on her face: “You know, the premise of loneliness is to be able to choose loneliness.”

“In Jordan, many people have no choice. right.”

Looking at the world outside the window, Granny Wenya seemed to have been opened to talk, and began to slowly say to Torreya: “In Jordan, when a child gu gu landed, his The second half of his life is decided. Whatever the Gospels preach, he will stay in office for the rest of his life. People are not machines and always want to stop and rest.”

“But Jordan is in a hurry. The city, it will never stop and wait for anyone.”

The old man’s eyes flashed a dim light, she took out a silver ring from her pocket, with a row of stars engraved on it, and the depiction was somewhat rough , but you can see the hard work of the engraver.

“Child, cherish the opportunity to choose.”

Putting the ring on the table, the old man stood up and took a deep look at Torreya, and there was something in her eyes. Imperceptible sadness, and deep love.

“Don’t let loneliness hurt you, and don’t be afraid of loneliness.”

It was a bit cloudy, but Torreya still felt the deep concern in the old man’s tone. She nodded and replied softly: “Although I don’t understand it very well, but I will keep it in my heart.”

The old man did not speak any more, she just glanced at Torea for the last time, as if thinking To imprint her in his mind. Then, she pushed open the door and left the room.

It’s night.

When the waning moon slowly rose and cast the silver moonlight under the window, Torreya opened the window as usual, ready to go to the clock tower to see the moon. But when she was about to jump out from the paper-covered table, she glanced at the ring that she had placed on the table.

Torea thought for a while and picked up the ring. The ring is an ordinary silver ring, and the star carving is pure handcraft, which is slightly rough, but the star carving is delicate enough to prove the sculptor’s intentions.

Torreya looked at the ring in her hand, when she rotated the ring, her fingertips touched the inside of the ring, she was startled, then lifted the ring over her head with the moonlight, looked towards the inside of the ring. nicks.

“When you miss me, look up at the stars.”

Torreya was stunned when she saw this line of words. Soon, as if thinking of something, she quickly opened the door and ran to the third floor of the hotel.

Knocked on the door, but got no response. Torreya frowned, then the right hand exerted a little force, and the wooden door was pushed open by a repulsive force. She pushed open the door and entered, then froze in place.

Wen Ya was lying on the bed wearing gorgeous blue clothes, and she was no longer breathing.

Right hand clenched tightly, the cold touch of the ring made Torea come out of her dizziness. Her lips trembled slightly, even if she was used to seeing life and death in her hometown, she could not accept it for a while. The kind old man who was still talking to him in the morning, seeing him again is farewell.

She walked forward slowly, and the old man had a bellflower on his chest, which was a Jordanian custom and the old man’s favorite flower. And an envelope lay quietly beside the old man’s pillow, as if waiting for Torea.

For a long time, Torreya shivered and let out a breath. She extended the hand and picked up the envelope. On the pale pink envelope, a line of type marked the addressee of the letter.

“To—Little Torreya.”

Opening the envelope, Torreya pursed her lips and read the contents of the letter.

——

sorry, Torreya, you’re terrified. My family has a very special ability to sense the approaching death. So rest assured, I didn’t kill myself, I just died of a common heart attack.

Two days before your arrival, I received word from the Templar Knight that my daughter Millie died heroically in the battle against the plague, along with this ring.

At first, I was heartbroken because I was the only one left in this world and I was forced to choose loneliness. It felt bad because I was afraid of living alone. But luckily, I ran into you.

Really, Millie has silver hair as beautiful as you, and she’s just as cute. Actually, I lied to you, I know you are not a so-called refugee. But when I saw you for the first time, I felt that the lovely Millie had returned to this world, which is the mercy of God. I only let you stay in this small hotel out of selfishness.

But then I couldn’t deceive myself, Millie is Millie, Torreya is Torreya, and no one can replace anyone. I began to accept the fact that Millie left me. She practiced her beliefs and protected her people in the end. I don’t think she will regret it.

Thank you, it was your company that made me come out of my grief these two days, and also made Millie’s mother choose to leave with a smile before leaving. Without you, I’d just die helplessly in gloom, and that’s not what Millie wants to see. child, you are kind, even if you perceive my thoughts, you still choose to accompany me.

This ring was carved by Millie before she set off, and I don’t want to take it into the grave because there are no stars. I sculpted a little Formation on it to make your soul more comfortable with this world. I have already purchased the cemetery, and my funeral will be handled by a special person. This ring should be regarded as a reward for you to accompany me.

Finally, may you find a place to break away from loneliness in this world. Hope, you can love too.

——Wenya Neil

——

folded the letter cautiously and put it in his arms. Torreya looked at the smiling old man who was sleeping forever, extended the hand, and gently helped her tidy up the slightly wrinkled collar. Her movements were light and gentle, as if afraid of waking the old man.

The crescent moon outside the window was slowly obscured by dark clouds, and the stars exuded faint rays of light. In the Neil Chamber of Commerce not far away, Lin Ling, who took off her cloak, finished correcting a document. Suddenly, she seemed to sense something, and the movements in her hand stopped.

On the slender index finger, the ornately carved rose-colored ring shimmered slightly, then returned to its original luster. Lin Zi stood up and looked at the drowsy sky outside the window, his palms covered on the cold glass.

Close your eyes, a glittering drop falls on the ground. Lin Ling still couldn’t forget the warm feeling when the gentle woman in mysterious robe held her hand and wiped away the tears from the corner of her eyes when she was in a desperate situation.

“Goodbye, Ms. Wen Ya.”
