Son of the Olden Days

An old low-footed cabinet stood beside the bed, which was the only furnishing in the whole room except for the bed.

There should have been a drawer on the cabinet, but now there is only a hole in the drawer. Maybe a thief had patronized here, or maybe this cabinet just didn't know where it was picked up from, it looked like this incomplete since it was picked up.

On the cabinet is a small hand-made puppet with crude workmanship, a rusty iron box, and inside it lies a few rags, some needles and threads, and a few buttons with ordinary patterns.

Shuggs raised his hand and carefully stroked everything, then stood up, closed the door, and turned to leave.

After taking a few steps and thinking about it, he turned his head back and stuffed the puppet into the tin box and took it away.

Back at the bottom of the well, placing the iron box next to his pillow, Shuggs turned to face Thor's back, somewhat speechless.

"what happened?"

Saul held the fishing rod and didn't look back, but he obviously felt the silence of Shuggs.

The flickering candlelight in the corner stretched Saul's figure on the ground very long, looking down at the swaying shadow, Shuggs clenched his fist, his voice revealed loss and guilt.

"Sorry, I messed up and I dragged you down!"

At the moment when the words were spoken, Shuggs's eyes were a little red, not because of the fact that he bowed his head and confessed his mistake, but because Thor clearly told him to stop when he was leaving.

It doesn't matter if you want to go your own way, but in the end, you have to use Sol's fish for your own life.

Shuggs felt that he might lose his friendship with Thor.

There are too many seemingly trustworthy relationships in this world, which are often not worth mentioning under the impact of interests, let alone survival.

"A drag? About what?"

Sol turned half of his side face slightly, carrying the candlelight, the expression on that face was a little unclear.

After taking a deep breath, Shuggs recounted his experience today, but didn't mention his mother.

After speaking, he fell into a silent waiting.

In Schugs's expectation, whether Saul was verbally abused, violent, or angry, he was willing to bear it. Even if Saul stood idly by in the end, regardless of his life or death, or even let him go, he would not make any excuses and would only leave sadly.

Shuggs' heart is proud after all, although this pride has never had any capital.

This kind of mood is almost like a man no matter how frustrated, no matter how unbearable, he will eventually leave some inexplicable dignity.

After hearing what Shuggs said, Thor silently turned his head back.

The bottom of the well was silent.

After a while, Sol put down his fishing rod and got up, walked to the pile of debris in the other corner, and looked down.

"Several fish for a right hand, this is undoubtedly a very good deal for us." Sol, who was busy, said suddenly.

Shuggs suddenly raised his head and saw Saul walking towards him, handing over a bottle of potion.

"Drink it, maybe it will have some effect on your injury."

Without any hesitation, Shuggs took it and raised his head to pour it down. It was a little sweet, and some warm heat gradually penetrated in his body.

He opened his mouth to say something, but he didn't seem to be able to talk about it. Shuggs lowered his head in silence, and Saul raised his hand and patted him on the shoulder.

"There is no time for frustration. Now that the situation is going in a worse direction, we can only make some new plans."

While talking, Thor squatted down to divide the existing food, then stood up and faced Shuggs again.

"In the future, there may be no chance to eat fish. Now we still have seven live fish in our hands, enough for you to handle the guild for three or four days."

"Anyway, food is far from enough. Take these three or four days as our last chance, and be prepared for endless sleep. We strive to carefully search all the corners of the town that we can set foot in."

Perhaps because of the temperature or other reasons, fishing has become more and more unstable. Sometimes there is nothing at the end of the day, even if there are not more than two on the luckiest day, it is not enough to support survival.

Saul is going to put this matter down temporarily, and reinvest all his energy into the search out, so that at least he can numb the heaviness of the heart through physical fatigue.

Pointing to the food that was divided into two on the ground, Sol finally said:

"Let’s keep half of it for ourselves, and send the other half to them. Although there is not much, and it is likely to be the last support, but since you have promised to take care of others, I will look down on you if you let go."

Listening to Saul's understatement, Shuggs took a deep look at him, then hurriedly turned his head to the side, so as not to let Saul see his tearful eyes.

Shuggs was very uncomfortable with this feeling, as if his life's fragility had exploded today.

Seeing Shuggs who was silent, Saul himself felt a little strange, there was not much anger in his heart.

It may still be the reason. Since it has already snowed, it doesn't matter if it is bigger. Or maybe it was because he didn't know when he had more identification with Shuggs in his heart, and he had an extra friend and brother in this lonely winter.

An orphan plus another orphan may not be an orphan, and sometimes Sol also thinks.

After being silent for a while, Shuggs stepped forward and gave Thor a strong hug with his uninjured hand. He didn't say anything, just raised his hand and hammered the hammer **** Thor's back.

After a brief silence, Saul held Shuggs's shoulders and pushed him away, and said with a look of disgust:

"Damn guy, stay away from me. I like women. From the night you said you wanted to sleep with me in the winter, I thought you were suspicious."

"Puff..." Shuggs, who was caught off guard, didn't take it for a while, his nose and tears sprayed on Thor all over.

——————

In the quiet darkness, the sisters lie side by side.

The busy days finally get a moment of respite, and it has been a long time since this relaxed atmosphere has been experienced.

"He just... kissed me." Irene hid some blushing details last night, and simply answered the topic about Sol that her sister asked.

With a doting and ridiculous expression on his face, Cowell pulled the blanket sideways for his sister.

"Then you have to be careful. This may be a seduce, or a trick to get rid of, what are you going to do?"

"Not much, but I don't think he will come again."

"Then do you want him to come again?"

"I don't know. Maybe sudden difficulties can always shorten the distance between people quickly. I can't tell the specific feeling, but this feeling seems to be reassuring. What about you? Sister."

My sister kept asking private questions, Irene was very shy, and the best way to divert was the same rhetorical question.

Sure enough, covered by Irene's sight, Cowell blinked in a panic, pretending to lie down to avoid his sister's gaze.

After a while, the elder sister's shy and faint voice sounded in the darkness.

"The shameless guy Shuggs... licked all over my body like a wild dog all night. It's annoying."

"Puff... hate it? Why does it sound like showing off?" Feeling the green side of her always strong sister, Irene blushed and covered her mouth and grinned.

"Yeah!" Cowell stretched out his paw and lunged at his sister.

The sisters laughed together in the dark and fell into the whispers of the girls.

"Bum...Boom...Boom."

There was an abrupt knock on the door, and the two sisters in the darkness were suddenly silent.

After a while, the knock on the door repeated again.

"It's them."

Cowell took the lead to sit up, got out of bed lightly, opened the door of his first floor, Irene also got up to follow.

Although judging from the rhythm of the knock on the door, it is likely that it is Shuggs and the others who are standing outside the door at this moment, but the sisters still prepared cautiously as usual and dispersed them in the most advantageous positions on both sides of the door.

Irene gripped a hard wooden stick tied with a spiked tip in both hands, and Cowell carried the short-handled hunting knife left by her father.

The door opened a gap first, and then it was suddenly widened by Cowell.

"You are hurt?"

Shuggs, covered in wind and snow, got in from the door, the wound on his forehead faintly saw blood that had just condensed, and he just waved his hand calmly in response to Cowell's inquiry.

"Don't worry, this little injury is not worth mentioning compared to the fact that I faced the magic horned wolf alone in the wilderness. On the way here just now, I found two ill-intentioned homeless people circling nearby, and then I hurried. Run them away, nothing more."

After the story was compiled, Shuggs hid the solemnity of his eyes, smiled and lifted the cloth bag in his hand and shook it.

"You'd better not go out anymore recently, at least until the food runs out. Now the town is getting more and more dangerous. Take care of your safety and take care of yourself. The food problem... Well, leave it to me and Sol to deal with it, and wait for us. News."

Cowell nodded silently, with a clear look of concern in her beautiful big eyes. She raised her handkerchief and walked forward, carefully wiping the blood on her forehead and neck for Shuggs.

Taking advantage of her opportunity to observe her injury, Shuggs quietly passed a touch of gentleness in her eyes, then turned her face to the dark side in an insignificant way, greedily sniffing the sweet fragrance of the girl in her hair.

For Schuges, this may be a day of nothing or even an extremely painful day.

But all this is worth it.

When he turned around and closed the door to block the wind and snow behind him, Shuggs said to himself firmly in his heart.
