Angel on earth

In the chaos, Aaron clapped his hands and shouted: "Go, go! Today is a day worth celebrating, and I give you all freedom! Free from factories, from poverty, and from families, I wish you happiness! Just like us! "

Mikhail took his place, calling out in a crisp, convincing voice: "Believe in your own strength! We're leaving now, but please, everyone—"

Aaron suddenly made a gesture to interrupt him, slapped his head, took out a few stacks of banknotes from the donation envelope that had just been confiscated, and climbed up the platform again.Holding a handful of banknotes, he waved them against the sun and shouted:

"Railwaymen! Where are the railwaymen?"

Several people in front turned their heads: "Here! Where are you going, sir?"

"Go to Fuxue County! This is your wages for the festival!"

"We'll never get that much money in our lifetime."

"Really? Then you have been cheated. Remember, you should be paid so much for working on holidays."

"Is that so? Then we have to remember it well."

"Come on Dali! ——Brothers! Bring out all your skills and energy, let us prepare the fastest and most stable train, and head to Fuxue County!"

Aaron was talking nonsense, and he stuffed the banknotes into the hands of the few railway workers who had finally squeezed out of the crowd, and shouted forward:

"Wish you all a warm and merry Christmas!"

Mikhail also waved his arms wildly in all directions, his cheeks flushed with excitement:

"Wish you all a warm and merry Christmas!"

Aaron was out of breath from laughing, and patted the boy's arm so hard that Mikhail was almost hurt by his slap.The woman whose husband was seriously ill in bed screamed at them against the crowd: "Keton, Baker, Fox, Richter, Marino; Iris, Aiden, Norn, Canaanite! There is no reason, you That's why we ended up like this! Do you understand?! You help us just for fun?! Mikhail! Mikhail Kupala!"

No one paid attention to her, no one heard her voice.She was so tired and hungry, she sat on the edge of the fountain holding her food and blankets, clutching her dry hair in despair, as if she didn't even have the strength to go home.

"Now," Mikhail lowered his head, "shall we go to Fuxue County to buy some tea? It has the best tea in the world."

"No!" Aaron slapped his legs and spun half a circle, raised his hands as if doing a greeting ceremony for Sun God believers, and said happily, "Let's go take the steam train!"

Aaron looked up at him, his whole face bathed in the winter sun.Compared with the appearance he had almost forgotten in his memory, the Emerald City had indeed changed a lot. He didn't remember being able to bask in such a warm sun in winter when he was a child.Now, he breathes in the sun, the beat of the festival throbbing in his veins.

He looked at Mikhail, dreamily grabbed his hand, and gently placed it on his chest, a moan-like airflow came out of his throat:

"Misha."

Mikhail's whole arm was shaking.

Coats, jackets, vests, shirts, underwear, pecs, under the ribs, a heart was beating hard.

It beat faster and louder, and Aaron had to open his mouth to breathe hard, tears and saliva streaming down uncontrollably.Mikhail wanted to say something, tears fell first, and Aaron found that they were really as sweet as Victor said.

So Aaron let go of his hand, took out a crystal bottle to catch his tears, then walked to the fountain, knelt down and handed it to the woman, grinning.

He said, "I'm sorry."

The woman opened the lid and sniffed, and her body suddenly gained strength, not only enough to stand up, but also enough to run home.But she still sat there motionless, with a desperate whine in her throat.

Aaron said it again: "I'm sorry."

Without further explanation, he stood up and took Mikhail's hand to the station.

Through the grey-green forests, over the glorious sunset among the hills, into a night colder and more silent than the depths of the sea, and into a dawn farther than the morning prayers of a choir.

The pair bid farewell to Wakefield workers at a small station on the edge of Blowing Snow.But the latter did not leave immediately, took out the teacup and bread, baked them on the hot machine of the train, and climbed to the top to watch the sunrise.

Aaron and Mikhail also held hands and leaned on the carriage, sharing a glass of water.Aaron's head rested on Mikhail's arm, and Mikhail's head rested on top of Aaron's head.

The sky above was still like egg whites in a light blue porcelain dish, and it was a little gray against the morning light on the distant horizon, but there were no clouds, and it didn't look like it was going to snow.

Aaron let out a breath, watched the white mist rise, and breathed out again until he blushed and gasped.Mikhail put his hand in front of his lips, and felt a warm and moist air flow that he had never experienced before. Now, he withdrew his hand and wiped the water vapor that hadn't evaporated from the tiger's mouth on his lips.

"I've never been to Fuxue County before." Someone said on the top.

"Me neither." Mikhail said softly, "What's the sky like here?"

"The sun hasn't come out yet, it's light cyan, no, it's still darker... There are some translucent stratocumulus clouds a little farther away, it will be very beautiful when the sun comes out." Aaron pushed his glasses.

"Are you from here, sir?" asked the man on the roof.

Aaron replied, "I'm from the Emerald City."

There was a good-natured laugh from above his head, and he didn't mind it. He looked down, stepped on a groove on the outside of the train, and climbed up with one leg hanging to kiss the tip of Mikhail's nose.

"Misha!" He giggled, "Why did you hang the picture frame outside?"

As he spoke, he stuffed the photo frame with a blank Minor Arcana card into the boy's collar, took a deep breath at the momentary heat, and smelled the smell of Mikhail and his homemade medicinal soap. smell.

Mikhail's beautiful eyes were wide open, and he didn't know if he wanted to see Fubuki or him.Aaron says:

"Misha, Misha, I thought before, if only you couldn't see."

Mikhail raised his hand to support him, and slowly stroked his cheek with the other hand, saying in a low voice:

"Just a minute... just a split second. Would love to see what you look like now, Aaron. Is your hair tan? It feels so much softer than it used to be."

The workers drank tea on the roof of the train and shared the ham, butter and bread that they had distributed yesterday. Facing the train in front of the train in the east, Aaron gently held Mikhail's thumb, feeling another Four slender fingers rest on his throbbing carotid artery.

The sun hadn't risen yet, but the people above their heads seemed to have just realized that something was wrong with the two of them, and they held their breath for a while.

Aaron swallowed twice, and finally sucked Mikhail's thumb clean, looked up and said disappointedly:

"Can't you come later?"

"If you come later, I'm afraid I'll bump into you on business."

Two pale, thin legs dangled from the roof of the car, Candy Kane said bluntly.

Aaron turned his head and found that Mikhail was not ashamed, and the little bit of shyness on his face was seductive—it was exactly the look that teenagers usually show when they ask him to do that kind of thing.

"You're right," said the doctor sincerely.

"Good morning, Miss Kane." Mikhail put his arms around Aaron, and while gently putting him on the ground, raised his head and greeted happily.

The little witch also floated down like a black sheet, raised her head and said:

"Good morning, Aaron! Good morning, Misha!"

Aaron raised his chin: "Where did they go?"

"Just sent it back, arrived safely, don't worry. By the way, Midsummer Night Castle is fine, Tristan and Ashley are not there." Candy Kane made a small mound for himself, looking down on Aaron slightly , the tip of his nose almost touched him, and then he nodded in satisfaction, straightened up and crossed his hips, "You released Mithra."

"what?"

"This is not a bad thing." Candy Kane said briskly, "I am very happy for you, my friend. Your body was once Mithra's cage, and now you let go of your obsession, He Without you, you are also free."

Aaron pushed his glasses and wiped his hair: "So?"

"You're stupid!" Candy Kane complained. "That is to say, although many parts of those spells cannot be reversed, such as physical trauma and increased strength, you may have a chance to become human again. You will re- Has a sense of smell, taste, body temperature, and even...a heart."

The witch giggled nervously, and Mikhail said seriously and happily: "Well! I have already felt it."

The witch choked.

Presumably in revenge, she said:

"The lady..."

"I do not want to hear."

"I haven't said who it is, Aaron."

"I still don't know what you are going to do? Don't say this to Misha!"

"But he seems to want to know. Aaron, it's not good to lie to people, and it's even worse to lie to such children." The witch said to Mikhail, "After she went back, she gave the potion to the whole street. The neighbors who have helped her family in the past, I wish them health. I have to say that the realm of "life and death, flesh and bones" that you pharmacists pursue can only be achieved by the power of God. A disabled worker directly grew an arm , almost frightened him to death. When his family rushed to the church, they realized that the priest had also been paralyzed by your fright, so they happily escorted those stupid capitalists to parade through the streets together."

Aaron was stunned: "Isn't her husband seriously ill in bed?"

The witch shrugged her shoulders: "So I came to you, Aaron. Originally, I was willing to let you live a happy life, but you almost killed that family, and I stopped them before they committed suicide , so that your future life will be less stained. So, you and Misha have to do me a favor."

"I do not want."

After Aaron finished speaking willfully, Mikhail actually turned his head and laughed.Aaron added:

"Don't be shy, Misha, turn around and let me watch."

"Don't tease her, Aaron," said Mikhail. "You asked me to put on this dress, took me to church, and drove to Fuxue County, just waiting for her to ask you for help."

"No, it's by the way." Aaron had to raise his index finger for emphasis, "It's mainly for the steam train, because I love you."

"Do you still remember that I am here?" The witch laughed, "You don't even ask why?"

"The reason? You told me, Isabella told Misha." Aaron shrugged, "The time is almost here, and the time for our dear Father God to pass away has come. Where are Micah and Yana going?"

"They will go to Lieyang City."

"Ah, then your new partner is really amazing."

"...No." The witch sighed, looked at him and then at Mikhail, and said in a low voice, "It was our father who made the sacrifice voluntarily. He didn't want his beloved son to be forced to swing a knife at him. "

Mikhail pursed his lips, and Aaron said:

"Okay. Although I don't know if we will meet again in the future, I will remember the moment when Micah knelt down and cried bitterly."

"What's the point of remembering that?" Mikhail muttered in a low voice, "...Don't remember your brother's mistakes, but pay attention to the log in your own eyes..."

"You've learned to make excuses, Misha!" Aaron said pleasantly, "But I don't have them here. You have golden beams in your eyes, you know?"

"Call me Mishenka."

"My precious Mishenka!"

"Don't be ashamed, Aaron! Are you really a Norren?" cried the Witch. "Orlando can't talk like that!"

"That's not fair, miss." Mikhail said, "I met His Royal Highness Orlando a long time ago, and he talked..."

All of a sudden the two faces approached him.

"Go on?" Candy Kane whispered excitedly.

"So you actually want me to call you... sweetheart? Honey?" Aaron was about to raise his eyebrows, but he still turned himself sour, and moaned with a frown, "Oh my God, I'm a Norren , Mishenka, you have to let me prepare."

The witch turned her head: "Don't you have a bottom line as a Noren, Aaron?"

"In fact, I have spent more time in Aerys and the Federation than in Noren." Aaron pointed out, pushing his glasses again, "What's more, these days, I have become more and more aware of a fact: the bottom line , are often used to throw things on the ground to make Misha happy."

"My God. I shouldn't have come here by myself, the shuttle magic is exhausting."

"Aren't you a spiritualist?" Aaron pouted, "Why are you so surprised?"

"Speaking spirit and prophecy are not the same thing, Aaron." Candy Kane said lightly and intimately, "No one can truly predict the future."

Aaron shrugged his shoulders. Now he just thinks this action is easy and pleasant. The patients whose shoulders and arms were fixed by him in the past should pay several times more:

"Then please demonstrate it for us, Master."

"Okay." Candy Kane said with a smile, "I'm here for this, you two fools who have gold but can't use it!"

The two gentlemen were not offended, and each took a step back as she saluted gracefully.

The witch whispered:

"But stillness speaks;

But darkness gives birth to light;

But die, have eternal life. [5]”

Candy Kane picked up the tattered corner of his robe, walked neatly in four directions, seven steps each in the southeast, northwest, and returned to the original spot, jumped onto the small mound with bare feet, pointed to the sky with one hand, and pointed to the ground with the other, His voice suddenly became extremely calm and majestic.

she cried:

"Let there be light!"

A round of daylight burst from her fingertips.

The soft and gorgeous brilliance surged into the sky like sea tides and fireworks, and the cirrus clouds in the distance instantly dyed with contrasting and magnificent colors flowed in all directions as if being impacted by the light; the light swept the earth like a strong wind, and the witch standing against the light was like a heavy statue. Dark stone carvings, the two people in front of the train couldn't help closing their eyes before the ever-changing scene.

Candy Kane turned around, thrusting his thin, white arms into the blinding curtain of light.Her right arm was instantly burned by the power of the sun god, with a scorching crackle and a smell of grease.

She grabbed a metal handle in the void.

Mikhail took a step forward, grabbed the "Glowing Girl", and pulled it out forcefully.Taking advantage of the momentum, she took a step back, bent over and gasped violently.

At this time, the cold breeze on the earth reacted, and slowly followed the direction of the rising sun, rolling up the snow and dead branches.

Mikhail inserted "Glorious Maiden" and "Chastity Prayer" on the mound, slowly opened his eyes, and the two golden cracks were submerged and disappeared by the color of the morning glow.The sunlight dyed his white hair and it never faded away. A shining imprint appeared on his forehead, which quickly disappeared under his white skin; a tall horse leaped briskly out of the imprint, It landed on the ground covered in light star brilliance, raised its front foot and let out a long hiss.

Aaron laughed in surprise: "Emile!"

Emile has lost her body, and the sun and stars are new clothes.She looked taller and more solemn than before, but she neighed happily when she heard the words, lowered her head and stuck out her tongue to lick Aaron's face, and the saliva turned into dots of light on his face and spread out.

Mikhail wrinkled his nose, lowered his head and said, "You don't even smile at me like that. You never smile at me like that!"

Aaron turned his head with that smile and tiptoed to kiss him on the lips.

Mikhail looked at him without blinking, but still remembered:

"Thank you, Candy Kane."

The witch is no longer here.

Aaron turned his head guiltily, and raised his hand to caress Emile's light-like, cloud-like mane.Mikhail just stood there, staring blankly at the increasingly bright and monotonous sunlight reflected on his face. After a while, he raised his hand to stroke his hair, and took off his square glasses to look at the A pair of bright and dark green eyes.

The boy suddenly picked up the vampire and spun around, buried his face in the other's neck and laughed happily.The latter was hugged with both feet off the ground, and said helplessly, "Misha."

Mikhail put him down, and those blue-purple eyes without pupils, like morning stars and morning mist, approached suddenly, and said with a smile:

"Aaron!"

Now Aaron couldn't be as indifferent as before.Mikhail clearly saw that he was startled, he stopped breathing for a moment, his heart beat fast and loudly, and his face was frighteningly dark—Mikhail knew that his blood was like this, but as long as he patiently By the time spring passes and summer arrives, Aaron's cheekbones turn a beautiful red.

Mikhail bent down, took him in his arms and kissed him on the lips.Aaron was so out of breath by him that he opened his mouth to breathe, Mikhail rubbed his fluffy blond hair against his neck and cheeks, and said in a low voice, Aaron, Aaron, Aaron!

Emile snorted aside, her beautiful big tail whipping the clear air.Mikhail let go of Aaron and hugged her neck again:

"That is very good, Emile!"

Emile also raised her front hooves happily, every movement was full of splendor.Mikhail touched her head, turned around and smiled at Aaron:

"Aaron, I—"

"Wait, you ride on the horse first." Aaron interrupted.

Mikhail got on his horse as promised.Aaron patted Emile's neck in satisfaction and said, "Now you can talk."

The boy looked down at the hair on the top of his head:

"Let's go to Lieyang City."

The author says:

[5] From "Oia Creation Song" in "Legend of Earthsea"

Another stalk of Kandy Kane’s saying that there must be light is Shakyamuni walking seven steps from east to west, north and south, pointing to the sky and pointing to the sky, and saying “I am the only one in the sky and on the earth” (finally I can play the stalk again, the little ghost is ecstatic)

The one riding a horse at the end is the stalk of Jesus riding a donkey into Jerusalem, and the text pretends that they are playing the stalk of the First Coming Son.
