gems and stars

14

Ivner had a good time with the giant wolf, as if he was playing with a little white dog when he was still at his stepparents' house.And when he stared at Start with a pair of lake-like eyes, Start felt a clear and cool water flow into his heart. He couldn't refuse Ivner, so he agreed to his silent plea to bring the white wolf. .

As night fell, the temperature on the Great Ice Sheet dropped sharply with the appearance of the moon and stars, and the howling of wolves could be heard vaguely in the distance.Ivna nestled in Start's arms, her whole body tightly wrapped, leaving only her eyes exposed, and a giant white wolf followed behind the two of them.It looked a little tired, with its head down, and did not respond to its kin on the ice sheet.

Just when the two of them were about to give up their search and prepare to settle down at will, a dark cave appeared not far away.The cold wind was blowing, and tonight was colder than the previous few days. The two of them entered the cave without much thought.Sure enough, the inside was much warmer than the outside, there was no peculiar smell, and there were no traces left by other creatures.

Start spread a thick blanket on the flat ground, carefully placed the drowsy Ivner on it, and lay on his side, closing his eyes gently. He had to stay awake to avoid sudden threat.

Seeing the two lying down, the giant wolf whom Ivner called Xiaobai curled up into a white ball silently against Ivner.Such a night is not difficult for him who grew up here.

The already sparse moonlight outside was scattered by the raging wind, not to mention the silence in the deep cave, only the soft sound of life breathing.Ivner's sleeping posture was like being in a mother's womb, and his brows gradually wrinkled.

When he opened his eyes, the sky was not fully lit yet, and Evner felt a hazy light pouring in from the left side. He felt sore and weak all over. After slowly opening his eyes, he unexpectedly found that the place he was at was not where he was when he fell asleep. It was not a cave, but a dim room, with faint noises coming from outside the room.

After his eyes got used to the dim light and saw the furnishings in the room clearly, Evner's face turned pale.

Inexplicably, he returned to his past home.Although I have been fleeing for many years, my fear of it is still deeply buried in my heart.Sure enough, the loud footsteps were followed by the loud opening of the door, and a lot of dazzling light flooded into this small residence.

"Little bastard, why are you standing still, hurry up and get up to work." The person came with a loud voice and rude language.

Evner got off the bed without a word, and walked to the messy kitchen familiarly.According to his memory, he had to prepare breakfast for his stepparents and his family on an empty stomach, and then made puppet toys by hand, so that his stepmother could sell them to the big boss nearby in exchange for coins.It was he who secretly sewed the Starter at night with the saved fabric by the light of a stolen candle.

Before he walked out of the room, he turned around and found that State was hiding under the pillow, his upper body was pressed by the tattered pillow, and only a small part of his feet were exposed.Although no one was bothered to enter this dilapidated room, he would find an inconspicuous corner to hide his precious dolls before going out.

Standing by the stove cooking porridge, Ivner casually touched his trouser pocket, and there was a package of powdery objects in it.A few days ago, when his stepparents were on vacation, he went to the wandering mage to buy it. It was a medicine that could make people sleepy for several hours.Wandering mages are often unkempt, with dark coats stained in bright light, curly hair, and impressively dark eyes.No one knows what his name is.

After the mage handed him the medicine, he also gave him a basic black magic manual. The image of the dusk with a meaningful smile remains deep in Ivner's mind to this day.

That night of escape is tonight.

The habit of about ten years has not been completely erased by the leisurely life of the past three or four years. Ivna has turned back into that introverted and well-behaved 15-year-old boy, working step by step, and completing various scattered tasks driven by his stepmother.During this period, there was no lack of mischief and bullying by the so-called younger brother.This is a community where the poor live, people speak and behave rudely, and don't dress very well. Evner, who has blue eyes and long pale blond hair, can be described as an outlier.

Some teenagers, led by his "brothers", often cornered him to bully him.They are especially jealous of his long hair that seems to be shining, and they often pull it hard, or step on him a few times.Ivner was powerless to resist, and could only wait for them to vent enough, and slowly stood up from the ground alone.

His only feeble struggle was for Stater, who was hiding in his arms.

That time, in order not to let the spotted Starter be taken away, he ran with all his strength, but fortunately he strayed into the wandering mage's shop before being caught up.

"What a beautiful and noble blond hair." The mage sitting in the shadows sighed softly, "I have a potion here that can set you free."

Ivner, who rarely communicated with others, didn't know how to answer, but just stood silently in a corner and stared at the bottles and cans in the wooden cabinet.After the cursing of the group of people faded away, Fang walked out timidly.After that day, he didn't dare to bring Start out again, and the seemingly unintentional words of the wandering mage began to surface in his mind from time to time.

The 19-year-old Ivner touched his trouser pocket, as if he had touched his nervous heart through the medicine.Although he was so flustered back then that his palms were sweaty, he succeeded in the end.For some reason, it came back to this day again, and Evna secretly felt that he needed to revisit the past to know what happened.

In the past, he never experienced the joy and happiness of today. While doing the work at hand, Evner recalled the warm and safe embrace of Starter before going to bed.At the moment when Statue leaned down to kiss him in the ancient castle, he felt that the missing piece of his life map had been filled in.

During dinner time, Ivner hid alone in his room. He nestled on the bed, pinching the puppet's face with both hands: "Who knew you were a handsome prince?"

"Who knows what Evner's future will look like?"

The door was wide open so that the sound of spoons breaking from the dining room could be heard clearly.Evna walked to the dining room with an indifferent face in his arms. The stepparents and the two younger brothers fell to the ground or sat on the seats. The concrete floor was splashed with soup, mixed with dust and flowing along the terrain.

A knife on the dining table gleamed with silver light under the light, luring the devil in my heart.

At that time, Ivner was terrified. He picked up the silver blade tremblingly and stabbed the bodies of four people. The bright red and warm blood sprayed all over his face. He hurriedly carried the packed package and fled in the night. ghetto.

And now Evner took the knife calmly, never minding another kill if it was what was necessary to get State back to him.

Leaving the warm light and the blood-red blood behind, Ivner walked out of the city along the road in memory.A round of cold and silent full moon nailed in mid-air, as if staring at every move of the young man who committed a crime.

Turn right, go straight, turn right again...

Ivna raised his head, but found that the avenue in front of him was not the avenue out of the city in his memory. The window, the door, and the old trees in the yard were so familiar. Once he stepped into the brightly lit room, there would be a strong smell of blood .

Since I opened my eyes and came to this weird world, Ivna was entangled in panic for the first time, and crossing the river by feeling the stones was the most nervous.After having State, he rarely has similar feelings, and every day is full of pure happiness.He never thought deeply about the future.

Ivner backed up and suddenly bumped into a solid wall of flesh. He turned his head to see who was coming, and laughed.It turned out to be Start, and he knew that Start would not ignore him.

After a few seconds, Stat didn't move or say anything, staring at Evner with one black and one purple eyes.Evner's smile gradually froze.He called Statt's name, and the sound was very clear in this silent and dark world, like a dark moon crater on a huge full moon in the sky.

Starter ignored him, looking like a lifeless puppet.In Ivna's astonishment, cold arms wrapped around his slightly thin body, pushing him straight forward.

Evner realized that Stat seemed to insist on pushing himself back into the blood-filled room, and he began to shake his head desperately, the blood in his mind spreading into a scarlet sea, trying to submerge his struggling consciousness: "No, Sta Te, I don't want it!"

But Start's actions were like a programmed program, no matter how he moved, he couldn't stop.In a panic, Ivna touched the knife in his bag, and under the control of extreme panic, subconsciously stabbed the knife into the body of the person behind him.The two finally stopped in place, and the arms around him hung down.Evner turned around, still holding the knife in his hand, cold rather than warm blood filled his hand.

Ivna did not dare to stab the knife, and the scene of the stepparents' blood splattered vividly.Start's body seemed to be out of control and leaned against him, and he held it with his dirty hands.It seemed that something was touched on his feet, and Evner lowered his head. It was the puppet he just brought out that slipped out of the package.

He is a little confused, which one is Stat?The huge full moon in the sky made him dizzy.
