Son of the Olden Days

Falling thinking is a strange state.

It is different from being distracted, and different from one mind and two purposes, but when you face someone, you will smile and even respond, but in fact your consciousness has long been far away from knowing where it has drifted.

Since Precia left, Saul will always fall into this state unconsciously because of some associations or memory fragments, but most of the time he is alone, and this quirk has not caused him. What impact.

After a while, Thor returned to his body.

Seeing Irene staring at her entangledly, Saul also had no intention of explaining. He raised his hand to turn her back to him, and then wrapped her arm around Irene's shoulder and hugged her into his arms.

"When you grow up, I will turn you into a woman."

Sniffing the fascinating fragrance of a young girl that she had never smelled between her hair, Saul said this to the girl in his arms, but he knew that there shouldn't be that day.

The orphan and the children in the town were originally two kinds of people. When the order in Grayscreen Town was restored, he and she would return to their respective trajectories, eventually only drifting away.

With her back to Saul, Irene secretly rejoiced, it seems that this man...er, boy, let him go out of some kindness? But think about it carefully, this is actually nothing to be happy about, the cold winter has not passed, and the predicament has not been far away.

There was no sound all around, and only time was flowing in the silent darkness.

After hesitating for a while, Irene twisted a nice profile face in Sol's arms and asked tentatively:

"Do you... still have food? Or, can you take in..."

Tears suddenly fell uncontrollably, and Irene was a little embarrassed to cover her mouth with the back of her hand, so that she couldn't finish a complete sentence in choking.

Originally wanted to be stubborn not to cry, but some unexpected emotions suddenly surged, and the emotions that made her tense all night suddenly fell apart.

She had never experienced such a moment in her life.

The love of her parents and her moderate family background gave her a fairly stable life, at least she had never begged anyone.

Only at this moment did she realize how difficult it is to speak to a stranger of the same age.

In the so-called "deal" tonight, when she showed her body and virginity in front of the other party on her own bed, with all the humbleness that you can take away, she knew that she would have nothing to exchange next.

However, thinking of the promise to live with her sister, even if the other party had let herself go, she still had to force herself to make an inch and make more begging cheeky.

This made her feel very ashamed, which was tantamount to being naked in the light.

Dust-covered stubbornness, tearing dignity, grievances, anxiety..., too many complex emotions flooded Irene's sight, making her tearful eyes bright in the dark.

Being watched by Irene's hopeful eyes, Saul could hardly help but want to go to the beginning, but in the end he just met Irene's gaze and said stiffly:

"It's a pity that we don't have enough energy... to take care of others."

From the short conversation tonight, it can be seen that Irene may have a mature side, but behind those unskilled disguise, she is only a child after all. Well, I seem to be younger than her, just turning 13 years old.

This world is not tolerant to women.

Seeing her fragile and helpless after losing her armor and armor in front of him, Saul felt uncomfortable, but he knew very well that such sympathy was actually meaningless, after all, reality has always been so heavy.

Sol didn't lie. Although his usual orphan creed was to save himself first, and then look at other things, he still calculated silently in the face of Irene's questioning.

The cold winter has at least more than a month to pass. The food left over from today's expenses is barely enough for him and Shuggs to support him and Shuggs for a week. If you add two more mouths, it will be shortened to three or four days.

The small acre of Acuminata can be harvested in about three weeks, which means that if four people are in a group, the search will only be blank for a few days in a row, and the final outcome will only die together.

And Sol has always been aware that the real dilemma is not just to survive the present and to survive the cold winter. If the famine does not end in the next spring, everyone in the small town will eventually either swallow each other or be driven into the dark wilderness.

The only thing the disadvantaged can do is to choose a way of death while still having strength.

Originally, Saul wanted to hoard as much food as possible until after the winter, but the cold reality had already toughly revised his plan countless times and turned it into a period of time as long as he could.

Thor, who has experienced deep hunger, knows very well how hunger comes, when those crazy and irritable emotions bite your reason, the desire to swallow everything in your heart. Hope will torture a person.

Eating people is nothing, a bit better, even the gods can chew them down.

It is undoubtedly dangerous for four people to stay together. At the last moment of delusion, even the blood relationship can be easily cut off, not to mention some temporary warmth.

When Saul answered solemnly, the light in Irene's eyes gradually dimmed, and she turned her head back silently, her lonely figure getting thinner and thinner.

Originally wanted to withdraw the hand that was still holding the other person's waist in a timely manner, but feeling the temperature of the girl from the palm of his hand, Saul sighed silently in his heart.

"Today's food should be enough for you two or three days for the time being, and after that, maybe I can provide your sisters with a job that pays for food, such as sewing or... uh, washing?"

Saul scratched his head and searched his stomach for a long time before piecing together such two unnecessary jobs.

When survival is threatened, who cares whether the clothes are sloppy or neat, search and persistence are the focus of life.

It is not difficult to foresee that after tonight's contact, Shuggs will definitely propose to take care of the sisters, even if he objected, the obstinate freak of Shuggs will quietly tilt the food to the sisters.

Anyway, food is far from enough, so I might as well be a bachelor, and accompany Shuggs on the road of self-defeating and disregarding.

Many things in this world are actually useless.

Just like time, no matter how you plan and how the situation collapses, it is still flowing there without any rush or delay.

Just like death, no matter what your age, no matter how unwilling, resisting, or fleeing, you are getting closer and closer to it after all.

Just like food, no matter how you save and plan carefully, you always don't have enough to eat. In the end, you find that the food is gone.

"Thank you."

Irene said softly, her emotions seemed to be relieved, and the whole person suddenly relaxed.

She turned and took a deep look at Saul, then took the initiative to raise her head and kissed him, but the next moment she buried her head in his arms and cried more fiercely. She didn’t know what she was crying, but she couldn’t stop her tears.

This sudden burst of gratitude made Saul a bit at a loss for a while, and after a while, he unskilled raised his hand and gently patted her on the back.

The sobbing gradually ceased, and the surrounding area became quiet again.

After that, neither of them spoke any more, only their own heartbeats.

The wind and snow outside were still roaring, but this small room temporarily isolated the cold of the whole world.

Shuggs was right at least on one thing, it was indeed a warm night, and Sol hadn't had such a good sleep for a long time.

In a quiet environment, the soundproofing effect downstairs is obviously not very good, and from time to time in the dark, poor Shuggs complains of insignificance...
