Chapter 7. The Hermit(2/2)
The girl holding a flower basket in front of her is wearing a white skirt, which perfectly highlights her slender and flexible figure.
The girl's satin-like shoulder-length blond hair and jewel-like blue eyes match her beautiful face. Her skin is snow-white, showing no trace of being tortured by the sun. Her waist is slender, as if she has exerted a little force.
will break.
This girl is very beautiful and looks like someone.
"Are you Yuscinia Dierti...Arob?" There was a lot of surprise in his hoarse voice.
"It's Yuscinia Arobe, sir." The girl smiled implicitly, corrected his mistake, and then said: "But you can just call me Nia, that's what everyone calls me."
Nia lifted up her skirt and saluted him. This etiquette was too dignified and was usually used as a hypocritical courtesy among nobles. But at this moment, this girl used it so naturally, without any pretense, which made people feel comfortable.
.
"Um…"
Unconsciously, Poros's frown eased.
"Excuse me, are you Mr. Poros, the famous doctor from Yuanxi Town?"
"Yes."
Poros was not surprised that the girl could guess his identity. But when he thought of his gaffe just now, in order to prevent his image as a famous doctor in the girl's mind from being damaged, he straightened his slightly curved spine to make himself look like
More majestic.
"That's great, Mr. Poros!"
Nia couldn't suppress the excitement in her heart, and almost couldn't help but jump up. Suddenly she realized that this was too unruly, and turned to say in a timid tone: "Mom...how is she?"
"She's very good. Now you can go inside and see her for yourself."
Poros took out the mechanical pocket watch from the inner pocket of his black coat and looked at the time, realizing that the little time left had become even more urgent.
"Sorry, I have something to do and I'll leave first. If you have any questions, you can ask your parents directly."
Poros had no time to chat with the little girl, so he said goodbye to her in a hurry.
Nia originally had many questions to ask Boros, but when she saw that he was about to go out after picking up the medicine box, the girl nimbly jumped out of the way.
"You walk slowly, Mr. Poros."
Nia walked to the door and waved to Boros' somewhat stooped back. Seeing that the back gradually shrunk and finally disappeared at the entrance of the alley, Nia couldn't wait to turn back to the house, and then walked softly to the bedroom...
"As expected of your daughter..."
Poros turned a corner, put the heavy medicine box at his feet, and let out a sigh as he pressed against the wall of the earthen fortress.
Looking back, the girl who looked like a snow-colored elf had just turned around and returned to the house. The door had also been closed, and the situation inside could no longer be seen.
"After so many years, I still feel a little nostalgic... Ha, I am really a bit old."
He took off his mask and touched the corners of his eyes. There was a scar as long as his little finger underneath, which made his originally amiable face look very vicious. Of course, that was not what he cared about. It was the few drops of cold liquid that appeared on his hands that made him look so evil.
He misses:
"Is this really okay? Just live like this... have children like an ordinary person, and then gradually grow old in labor, and die in a place that no one knows. There will be no flowers, no jewelry, no brocade...
"
"This is good. I like it here, and that's enough. I think this is the best result - I didn't expect anything else."
"But……"
"Fanuo, you understand me. So, please..."
…
He once again thought of that memory that he had not thought about for a long time, when he was still "Fano", and the choice he made changed that person's life, and also changed his life.
Poros shook his head and smiled, suddenly remembering that the conversation he had with that person had no real ending.
"Anyway, this is what you want. So be it."
He was talking to himself against the earthen wall.
Poros put on a mask and wrapped his bloated black coat tighter. Poros looked up at the sky, where there were already a few wisps of smoke swaying in the air.
"Indeed, that's good."
