End of Volume Prisoner of Fate (9200,000 characters monthly pass~)(2/3)
At this time, Tang Yuan was also looking at the little girl with a twisted face and looked at her with a hint of confusion.
How could she see me...Even if everyone else can't see me at all, how did she discover it?!
Isn’t my abilities perfect?!
For a moment, Tang Yuan even had an extremely violent and dark thought in his heart, but soon, this idea was suppressed - so what if it was seen? A little girl could not describe his appearance... Just stealing, the police would not send much force, and it would be difficult to catch him.
“No need…”
After calming down a little, Tang Yuan looked at the little girl again, and this time, he finally found something wrong: "Wait."
"Is she blind?"
The thin girl who called herself Xia Xia was still looking at the direction where Tang Yuan was with her unsightly eyes. Her tone was filled with joy: "Grandma said, only friends can play together at home... Big brother, are you a friend?"
Tang Yuan was not worried at this time. Because he had already stolen a lot of money, he was not as impatient as he was at the beginning. Instead, he stopped and communicated with Xia Xia with curiosity: "Can you... see me?"
"What is it to see?" But Xia Xia asked back with some confusion: "Isn't the big brother here?"
After a while of communication, Tang Yuan also understood.
The girl who claims to be Xia Xia's surname is Leng, and she is indeed a blind man. She cannot see herself. But in her perception, there is a breath similar to her neighbor's elder brother, and even a 'glow' feeling.
"Is the eldest brother a friend?" Xia Xia still asked this question repeatedly, but Tang Yuan didn't know how to answer. The word "friend" gave him an instinctive disgust, and he could only think in his heart that he was a little unlucky. Unexpectedly, he would meet a blind little girl who could detect him: "Forget it, go to the next house to steal."
Just as Tang Yuan was about to leave silently and not answer this question, he found that the little girl was actually trying to get off the bed, and her body was unstable and she was about to fall down!
"This little guy!"
Subconsciously, Tang Yuan immediately transformed into a spirit and rushed over, and then the entity caught the little girl - the spirit can actually catch it, but in that case, since the spiritual power is slow to activate, Xia Xia might still hit her.
"Thank you, thank you, big brother."
When Tang Yuan put it back on the bed, even the little girl knew very well that she almost fell down just now, and her voice suddenly felt a little sad: "Xia Xia always needs her grandma's help to get out of bed. She has tried it many times, and she will fall every time."
"... Be careful, don't move around when grandma is away." Tang Yuan didn't know what to say, so he replied coldly: "This time you are lucky. I can't help you next time I fall."
"Yeah, is the eldest brother going to leave?" As if he felt Tang Yuan's freedom, Xia Xia's voice became low: "Wait a moment."
As she said that, she secretly fumbled under the pillow for a while, and then took out a big white rabbit milk candy.
"Brother helped Xia Xia, I'll give this to you!"
When she handed out the sugar, the little girl's voice was a little reluctant: "This is the candy that Xia Xia hid today. Grandma said that even during the Chinese New Year, she should not eat too much, as it would damage her teeth, so she planned to keep it until she had no sugar in the future..."
"This..." Tang Yuan didn't know why he was still here, so he took the candy from the girl's thin little hand.
It's been a long time... It's been a long time, and no one has ever given him anything.
When did you last eat candy?
"Is it tasty?"
Since Xia Xia couldn't see it, she didn't know Tang Yuan's actions. After Tang Yuan was silent for a while, she replied in a low voice: "It's okay... no, it's delicious!"
For a moment, his stiff face was even a little hot. Tang Yuan wanted to give something back to the other party, and then left quickly, but he got down all over and had nothing except the money he stolen. For a moment, he could only touch his body at a loss.
But when Xia Xia heard Tang Yuan’s answer, she was very happy: “Grandma said that only friends would give each other gifts. The eldest brother helped Xia Xia and also ate the candy given by Xia Xia.”
"Then, are we friends?"
Hearing this, Tang Yuan finally felt a little strange.
"Why do grandma always say that there are friends... what about the little girl's parents?"
Tang Yuan asked in a roundabout way, but got the answer that silently made him.
Xia Xia's parents had died in a car accident a few years ago, and grandpa also passed away very early. Now grandma is taking care of her alone.
In addition, the little girl is very weak, rarely goes out, does not go to kindergarten, and has no friends at home. She always lies alone in bed, occasionally listening to her grandma telling stories and learning some basic knowledge.
Because few people can chat and talk together, and they don’t understand what the death of their parents means. When Xia Xia and Tang Yuan talked about this, their expressions still brought happiness to making friends.
Looking at this happy smile, Tang Yuan suddenly felt a dark mood in his heart.
——I don’t know anything, I’m obviously a little kid with nothing…
——You obviously have no parents, friends, and no relatives, and you are still blind...
Why, you can laugh so happily... Why?!
This dark emotion was not caused by the little girl, but by the powerlessness of being confused and angry for her whole life. Tang Yuan felt an endless confusion and anger, all accumulated in his heart.
With a tumultuous thought of suppressing the darkness, Tang Yuan deliberately looked stern and scared the little girl, "Xia Xia, grandma said she should not eat too much candy, but you hid the candy and deceived grandma... You are a bad boy."
"Woo." At first sight, Xia Xia pursed her lips and admitted unwillingly: "Yes, Xia Xia is a bad boy... Xia Xia often lie to her grandma."
Huh? For a moment, even the darkest thoughts dissipated. Tang Yuan blinked and asked strangely: "Besides sugar, what else have you cheated on?"
So he heard the little girl's timid voice.
"I...I asked my grandma to say good night to me, but I didn't sleep... Because Xia Xia couldn't see it, grandma didn't know whether Xia Xia was sleeping."
As he said this, the little girl laughed happily: "But Xia Xia knows that Xia Xia's nature is not bad! As long as she grows up, she will be a good child!"
As long as you grow up, you will be a good kid.
After letting out a breath, Tang Yuan didn't know why, all the dark emotions in his heart disappeared.
Parents died early, neither grandparents nor grandparents existed. Relatives regarded themselves as tools and struggled to grow up all the way. Finally, life gradually became formal, but in the last period of the Holy Election Examination, they were slandered as murder because they were pushed out.
Loneliness, being treated as air, being exiled, being betrayed, being forgotten...
But Tang Yuan still remembers that when his parents were young, they explained to him with a smile, the origin of his name.
"This fate means fate. When Tang Yuan grows up, you will definitely be a good child and can make many friends, and be happy and happy!"
"And Tangyuan and Tangyuan sound so cute, haha."
"--damn it!"
Tang Yuan suddenly clenched his fists and looked ferocious. He instantly transformed into a spirit body, roared in the spiritual world, then gritted his teeth and spoke from his teeth: "—Why is this happening!"
"The life I want is not fighting, killing, stealing things, doing such dirty things... definitely not!"
For a moment, Tang Yuan recalled the day when he attacked his friend many years ago and fought with the gangster. At that time, he was really a complete idiot, but...
"I just think that's friendship..."
I just wanted to maintain that friendship...
Tang Yuan, who had no relatives and no partners in the family, squeezed out the last trace of air in his lungs and spit out fragmented words: "I just want to live well... with friends and relatives... I can smile occasionally and live like this..."
——Where are we friends? Xia Xia’s previous inquiries seemed to be still wandering in her ears.
So, Tang Yuan raised his head, he laughed softly, and said, "...Xia Xia must be a good child when she grows up."
"I'm your friend."
[——Since the heaven and earth do not give, I will seize it from the heaven and earth. Life is a repeated cycle of seizure and being seized.]
This is indeed the case, life is so bitter.
But, he can't forget it.
Even two people with no ownership can ‘given’ each other.
The "fate" called "giving" is being born.
Nowadays, men who can’t give gifts can only give their own abilities.
Thinking of what the little girl said before, that she had been staying at home, Tang Yuan took a deep breath and made up his mind and said, "Xia Xia, do you want to go out to play?"
Xia Xia was a little hesitant: "Grandma said no...but I think!"
"It's just that, isn't it just a worse boy?" she said crampedly.
"It's okay, bad kids are bad kids." Tang Yuan, who had figured out something, smiled and said, "There is always someone in this world who is bad kids, so why can't it be us?"
"Let's go."
He said this, and he put down the wallet in his hand, then stretched out his hand, touching Xia Xia's body with this spiritualized hand.
The next moment, the two of them transformed into spirits and disappeared into the ordinary world.
“Wow!”
More than ten seconds later, Xia Xia, who was taken by Tang Yuan and flying in mid-air, cheered incredibly surprised: "Is this outside? Quick, the wind is so strong, so fresh!"
The little girl's vocabulary is not enough to express any valuable feelings. Tang Yuan knew this and took the girl around in the air, laughing and said, "Of course, I'm taking you flying!"
"Ahh, what is that?"
But suddenly, Xia Xia, who was held in Tang Yuan's arms, suddenly stretched out her hand and pointed to the light balls floating under the clouds in the distance, with a surprised tone: "What are those shining balls...?"
Tang Yuan subconsciously followed Xia Xia's guidance and looked at the light balls - he could see that many pure white light balls with ice crystal wings, the spiritual lives called "Ice Elf", were jumping and dancing in the wind as the snowflakes fell. These elves born with the aura were born with the snow, and died with the sun, shining with the colors of aurora.
The next moment, the little girl seemed to have discovered something again, and she exclaimed: "Hey, this thing..."
The thin little girl was lowering her head, looking at her hand in surprise, then bent her fingers, her mouth was big: "Oh, this is Xia Xia's hand?"
"What?"
For a moment, even Tang Yuan was shocked: "Can you actually see it?"
To be continued...
