boy and bone

Unexpectedly, the ferret was only focused on talking to Man but didn't pay attention to the front. When he came back to his senses, he had collided with the person walking at the fork in the road.

Accidentally knocked several photo-sized paper portraits in the man's hand and scattered them on the ground.

"Sorry." The ferret quickly bent down to help pick it up.He picked up one of them, only to find that the person in the portrait was extremely familiar.

The ferret was amazed. When he raised his eyes, he saw a man with red hair and gray eyes.

"Thank you." The man took the portrait from the ferret and turned to leave.

The ferret hurriedly stopped: "Wait a minute, sir. Where did you get your portrait?"

The man was obviously puzzled and said, "I drew this myself."

The ferret and the man exchanged unexpected glances.

Man then asked, "What is the relationship between the child in this portrait and you?"

Instead, the man said cautiously, "Why are you asking this?"

The ferret saw that the other party cherished the portrait very much, and was obviously worried about them, so they explained: "Don't mind, we are not bad people, we just know a boy who looks very similar to your portrait."

The man showed a surprised expression: "What's his name, is it Gray?"

In front of the fountain in the central square, a red-haired man stood in front of the two of them, and said in an amiable tone: "I have been looking for him for a long time. Gray doesn't like taking pictures, so I don't have a picture of him now, so I had to draw one by hand. .”

Both Ferret and Man were taken aback.

"After he ran away from home alone, there was no news. I have been worried about him. Our home is in a very remote place. We have learned ancient Chinese since we were young. He has never traveled far. I am worried that he will not be in the outside world. adapt."

"If you know him, I hope you can tell me where he is now. I really want to take him back." The man sighed with sincerity.

"You speak very fluently, and you seem to be very comfortable with the outside world." Man asked, for no reason, he didn't trust the person in front of him, and he even felt a chilling hypocrisy from the man's smile.

The man said gently: "I've been studying abroad for many years, and I'm used to it. Gray also left home secretly when I was out on errands. I asked the people at home, and they said they saw Gray board a foreign ship. I asked around, and followed the route of the passenger ship to this place. I originally planned to take the portrait to the bounty guild to buy a reward if there were no clues about Gray in this capital. Who would have thought that I would meet you on the road, thank God.”

"Are you his brother?" Man opened his mouth and asked.

"Yes." The man smiled.

"But you don't look alike." Man said.

"Grey is an orphan, we are indeed not related by blood." The man said: "But my love for him does not weaken in the slightest."

"How old is he?"

"12 is old."

"Grey suffers from stone wall disease. I heard that people with this disease can only live to be eight years old. How did he grow to be 12 years old." Man continued to probe.

The man's gray eyes curled up: "How did you know that Grai suffers from stone wall disease?"

"He told us." Man pretended to be honest.

"It seems that Grai trusts you very much." The man's expression remained unchanged.

The ferret sensed that something was wrong, and Man was obviously interrogating the other party.The ferret didn't want to make the atmosphere too bad. From the current point of view, the possibility of him being Grey's relatives was [-]%, so they didn't need to be so repulsive.

"Grey has recently become obsessed with Pink Elephant." When the atmosphere between the two became tense, Ferret suddenly interjected.

"I mean, when you take Grai away, you need to take that doll with you."

The man suddenly smiled: "I remember, thank you."

Man touched the ferret's arm with his elbow, pulled him a little away, and whispered: "You believed him so quickly? Don't you think he came prepared? His words were impeccable, just Like it was pre-arranged... I bumped into a person at the corner and knew Grai? How could there be such a coincidence in the world... Could it be that he came to snatch the magic bone? Grae never said that he had any family .”

"Hush." ​​The ferret whispered: "Take him to meet with Grai, and everything will be clear."

Man and the ferret returned to the man, and the ferret said first, "Sorry, after such a long time of contact, we also like the child Grai very much, so we must be more cautious."

The man smiled slightly and said, "It's understandable."

"The situation you describe is consistent with what we know about Gray, including the portrait. But Gray never mentioned his family, so we would like to ask you to come home with us and meet with Gray, face to face Making sure."

"Great." The man showed joy and then said distressedly: "But... because we had a little conflict before. If I appeared directly in front of him, he might run away again."

The man thought for a moment, then said: "Or I'll wait here at the fountain first, you guys bring Grai and explain to me on the way, saying that I've been looking for him for a long time, let him have a mental preparation in advance."

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

"Suspicious, very suspicious." Man defined.

"What's suspicious? I think he's fine." The ferret said indifferently.

"Look, anyone is fine..." After complaining to the ferret, Man Man said, "Put yourself in the shoes of yourself, if you lose a favorite thing and someone finds it for you, your first reaction shouldn't be to ask for it right away. Come back? He twists and turns, wants to approach but dares not approach, there must be a problem here."

Ferret doesn't think so: "People's feelings are very complicated. He also said before that he has some conflicts with Grai. After finally finding him, it is understandable that he wants to get close but dare not get close."

Mandao: "I mean, he wasn't surprised and positive enough. He seemed to know that we knew Gray, as if he had premeditatedly waited to be bumped into by us at the intersection."

The ferret had no way to refute. They stood at the door of the house, and the ferret stopped halfway in inserting the key. He stared at Man's face seriously for several seconds, and finally said: "You can't bear it?"

"No." Man immediately retorted.

The ferret suddenly smiled back: "You can't bear it."

"Grey's brother suddenly appeared out of nowhere and wanted to take him away. Are you feeling uncomfortable? So you tried every means to prove that the man is a bad guy with ulterior motives in order not to let Grai go." Xue Diao smiled and said, "I didn't expect you to value him."

"I'm not, don't talk nonsense." He said humbly, "Don't you think that Grai's ability to manipulate the magic bone is very helpful to our reward business?"

Ferrets open the door and don't listen to full excuses.

As soon as he entered the door, he saw that Grai was lying on the sofa, sleeping soundly, with a pink baby elephant on his head and a dark but motionless magic bone in his arms.

"Go and wake him up." Man looked at Grai, who was sleeping in an extremely unsightly posture, with disgust on his face.

"The magic bone is in his arms, I dare not touch it." The ferret still remembered the previous lesson.

"Now that bone seems to be dead, it's okay, you go touch it." Man urged.

The ferret had no choice but to tentatively sit next to Grai. Seeing that the magic bone in his arms really looked like a dead object and had no intention of jumping up and attacking, he felt relieved and shook Grai's shoulder.

Gray frowned, opened his sullen eyes, and muttered, "I just fell asleep."

Man also found a seat with a single armchair and sat down: "Where did you go? We were worried that you would be crushed under the Green Lake Ting, and we have been looking for you all night."

"I've been looking for you all night. It's okay, we're fine, so don't disturb my sleep." Saying that, Gray was about to fall down on the sofa again.

"Someone is looking for you." Man shouted.

"Who is looking for me?" Grai's sleepiness was a little less.

"Do you have any relatives?" Man asked.

Gray subconsciously looked at the sick demon bone that had been inactive for a long time: "Why do you ask this?"

"There is a man who claims to be your brother looking for you," said the ferret.

Gray snorted mockingly, and blurted out without thinking: "Liar. That person is definitely a liar."

Man Yang raised his expected expression.

The ferret said: "But he speaks with certainty, don't you see him?"

Gray fell headfirst on the sofa, and said, "I don't even have a father, how can I have a brother."

Seeing that his judgment was correct, he said very confidently: "Look at what I said, that gray-eyed man is very sinister."

"What?" Gray suddenly became sober as if someone had slapped him: "What do you think he looks like?"

"Grey eyes, red hair, about my height, thin," recalls the ferret.

"what is his name?"

"Curris."

All of a sudden, as if a heavy stone was thrown into the lake of his heart, there were layers of deep waves, and Grai thought for a while: "I want to see him."

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

In the central square in the early morning, there are few pedestrians, vehicles and horses. The name is central but it is not in the center of Fujindu. Fujindu used to be a small fishing village, and the central square used to be the central market of the small fishing village. With its prosperity and expansion, its land area is much larger than that of the small fishing village in the past, so the center of the capital has also changed. This central market has gradually declined. If there are no festivals to patrol the city, few people will pass by. here.

Cullis likes quiet places, and this is a good choice.

He sat on the bench, waiting for the upcoming reunion, his hand holding the portrait trembled uncontrollably.

At this time, there was a slight human voice in the distance.

"Huh? Gray, both of your eyes have turned lighter. It wasn't like that yesterday." The ferret noticed Gray's small change with concern.

"Can you still see things clearly?"

Gray nodded, telling them not to worry about it. He didn't care about his eyes now. He was full of anticipation and fear for some reason. Feel so strange and far away.

Will they really meet again after 200 years?

will he cryOh God.

He can't be so stupid!

Suddenly, Grai seems to have returned to his youth, when he first confessed his love to that person, he had prepared for a long time but still confessed in a mess.

This time they reunited, there was no longer a trap that was stalking and scheming around them.

This is a new world, they can finally have no worries, fuck the royal family, fuck the ambition, fuck the world.

He can be with him again.

Greti was carrying the basket containing the magic bones, and he wanted to wait a while for the property to return to its original owner.

"Where are people?" Man asked a question, and he looked around the empty square without any figures.

"Are you sure you're here?" Gray asked skeptically.

The ferret said: "Grey will wait here first, let's go find it."

As he said that, he and the two of them searched in the same direction.Gray was waiting in the square, and he happened to see a bench in front of the circular fountain, so he stepped forward and put the basket on the bench seat that was mottled and faded due to the sun all year round.

He imagined in his mind beforehand that if he stood in front of Curris with a vegetable basket later, the scene would not look like a reunion, but rather like a poor little boy selling vegetables along the street.

So it is better for him not to carry it.

In the coastal capital, it seems that every street is flooded with the smell of salty sea water, and the sunshine that just hits the ground is fresh and pleasant like sea water.

He seemed to be beginning to like the capital city.

Just as Gray was thinking, his eyes suddenly went dark, and a cold palm covered his eyes.

He subconsciously wanted to break free, but in an instant he was surrounded by a familiar hug.

Even though the breath became strange, every nerve and every hair of his revealed his favor for the person who embraced him from behind.
