Chapter 504 Strange Eyes
Chapter 504 Strange Eyes
There was a rather crude tent set up on the ground, with a small pot in front of it, as if something was being cooked.
A woman with her hair wrapped in a headscarf was using a knife to peel off the thick skin of the collected cactus fruits, cutting them into small pieces and putting them into the pot.
She has dark skin.
His hands were covered with thick calluses from hard work, and his face looked simple and honest, the kind of person who could easily make people let down their guard.
only.
She just opened her mouth.
This simplicity is gone.
As if she heard Ah Li's footsteps, the woman who was cooking raised her head impatiently, and then muttered a few more curses:
"Damn girl!"
"I just asked you to fetch some water, why did you take so long? Did you go out to play somewhere else again? You're always so slow that it makes me worry..."
She kept chattering.
But when he looked up and saw Lu Chihuan and Ah Huai in front of him, his throat seemed to be strangled by someone, and the words that were about to come out of his mouth were stuck in his throat.
There seemed to be a flash of vigilance in his eyes.
It seemed that he was worried that his mother would say something unpleasant later.
Ali took a few steps forward.
After hugging the middle-aged woman's arm, he gently shook it a few times, as if he was acting like a spoiled child. "Mom, I was bullied by Sun Yingcheng when I went out to fetch water just now. It was Brother Huai and this big brother who helped me!"
"This big brother is very powerful."
"Although he doesn't look very strong, he easily brought Sun Yingcheng to his knees. He is more powerful than anyone we have ever seen before!"
Ali's mother froze.
His face twitched violently for a few times, and after a moment he looked at Lu Chihuan, then said reluctantly, "Thank you so much."
"You helped our Ah Li."
"We don't have anything to give in return, so why don't you just stay and have lunch."
Lu Chihuan did not refuse.
After all, he still needed to find out news related to this world, so he might as well stay for this reason.
such.
He wouldn't have to come up with any other excuses.
He smiled and bent his eyes, his long and thick eyelashes like crow feathers trembled a few times, "Okay, then I will obey your command."
Hear this.
Ali's mother's face looked a little ugly.
It seemed that there was one more mouth to feed at home, so she rushed into the tent and prepared the dishes and chopsticks. At this moment, she couldn't help but curse at Ah Li beside her, "...you troublesome thing..."
"You just want to cause trouble for me all day long!"
"It's fine if you brought a stranger here, but why did you bring that unlucky thing with you... Didn't you hear that he was cursed..."
Lu Chihuan had just pulled A Huai to find a place to sit down when he heard these words from A Li's mother.
Suddenly.
He was a bit embarrassed.
Ah Li argued with her mother, "Brother Huai is not cursed. He is very gentle, smart and kind."
"If he could go to school--"
"Maybe he has already graduated from college and got a job as an official!"
In this regard.
Ah Li's mother just sneered, "How can a blind man be an official? I think you are dreaming. Stop talking nonsense to me. Where is the water I asked you to fetch? Hurry up and boil the pot of cactus soup outside for me!"
"I can warn you."
"Don't hang out with that blind man anymore. His blind eyes are full of evil. Have you forgotten what happened last time? If you don't listen..."
"You will be the next one to die!"
Lu Chihuan frowned.
As Ali's mother's words became increasingly unpleasant, he subconsciously wanted to stand up.
then.
Let her shut up her chattering mouth.
At least Ah Huai had just stepped forward and helped Ah Li who was being bullied, but Ah Li's mother was now loudly speaking bad things about Ah Huai in front of him.
Is that too much?
just.
He had just stood up.
Her wrist was grabbed by Ah Huai's cold and slightly soft fingers. His hand was too pale and his wrist was too thin, as if it would break with a slight bend.
"do not go."
Ah Huai's expression was quite calm.
It seemed that he was already familiar with other people's comments about him. He shook his head again. His skin looked unhealthy pale in the sunlight, and he looked like the Moonflower that Lu Chihuan had seen before.
Delicate and pale.
Because it only blooms in quiet and remote places, it also carries a bit of faint indifference and loneliness.
"I am fine."
"Most of what she said was true."
After hearing this, Lu Chihuan paused for a moment, then sat back down next to Ah Huai and asked bluntly, "Your eyes..."
"Is there something strange?"
Why did Ali's mother describe it as evil and even mentioned that someone died because of it.
It's impossible...
Is this a pair of Medusa's eyes?
Lu Chihuan was amused by his own imagination.
After hearing this, Ah Huai gently touched the black cloth covering his eyes.
The smile on his lips was a little helpless, but he had no intention of hiding anything. "When I take off the cloth on my eyes and look someone in the eye, I can occasionally glimpse part of that person's destiny."
"Including the impending shadow of death."
"But when I told them this, they just refused to believe it."
“They even said bad things to me.”
"But when they really die for some reason, they will blame me, thinking that I brought death and disaster to them."
because of this.
No one wanted to get close to him.
Some people even regarded him as the embodiment of bad luck and disaster and wanted to expel him from the team.
After saying these words.
Ah Huai quietly raised his head and looked in the direction of Lu Chihuan. Although his eyes were bound by a black cloth, he didn't know if it was Lu Chihuan's illusion.
He suddenly had a feeling of——
Ah Huai was staring at him, and even regarded all the emotions that arose from him as delicious food, and was eagerly waiting to taste it.
should be……
Illusion.
Lu Chihuan rubbed his eyebrows subconsciously.
However, his first reaction after hearing Ah Huai's words was not disgust or avoidance, but rather he blinked his eyes lightly a few times.
He bent his fingers and tapped his knees a few times, with only pure confusion in his eyes.
"The trajectory of destiny..."
"Can't you try to change?"
For Lu Chihuan.
He doesn't believe in the so-called destiny.
Even if such a thing really exists, he will only find ways to change it or even overthrow it. No one can dictatorially decide his fate.
Even the consciousness of this world.
Neither can.
After hearing Lu Chihuan's question, Ah Huai simply pulled the corner of his lips lightly, with a hint of sympathy in his voice.
"You can't change your destiny."
"Even if you desperately want to escape, or even think you have already escaped, fate will come to you in another way the next moment."
talking.
His fair fingers were stroking the blind stick in his hand, and his pale lips were pursed, and the words he said had a hint of meaning.
“Someone tried to change it.”
“But in the end it was a complete failure.”
After hearing this, Lu Chihuan raised his eyebrows slightly, then reached out and ruffled Ah Huai's hair a few times, "I think Ah Huai, you are obviously not that old."
"Why are you talking so maturely and pessimistically?"
Ah Huai didn't seem to expect Lu Chihuan to rub his hair, and he stood there in a daze for a moment.
The body also froze.
Fortunately, Lu Chihuan quickly withdrew his hand. He held his chin and tapped his cheeks with his fingers. "I would say that you have seen too few examples. The target groups you have observed before are too small."
“That’s why we think the trajectory of fate is indestructible.”
"If it really doesn't work—"
"Just look at me with those eyes."
When Lu Chi laughed, his beautiful almond-shaped eyes looked sparkling, like gems scattered in a box, and his voice was clear.
"I will break free from my own predetermined death trajectory."
"Then prove it to you."
Ah Huai smiled slightly after hearing this.
He did not take off the black cloth covering his eyes. He just looked up in the direction of Lu Chihuan and said, "You are really interesting."
"I listened to your suggestion."
"I can't wait any longer."
"But my blind eyes are sometimes not working, so why not wait until after tonight?"
The corners of his lips quirked up.
There was a fragile and gentle smile on her face, but Lu Chihuan felt a sticky and heavy malice in it.
Just like the blind boy in front of him.
As if expecting something bad to happen.
However, this strange feeling was only like a flash in the pan and disappeared in an instant.
So Lu Chihuan didn't care.
He just raised his hand and stretched lazily, then said in a serious tone: "There is no good or bad ability. There is nothing wrong with you seeing the fate of those people and telling them."
“Don’t beat yourself up about it.”
"The mistake is that they blame you for this out of fear. If you feel uncomfortable in the environment you are in, it is better to leave early."
“Change your living environment.”
“You will always meet someone who is kind and understands you.”
When he said this, Lu Chihuan even made a joke, "Who knows, if you go to other countries, you can use this ability of yours to become an excellent fortune teller. When you have power or authority..."
"There will be fewer and fewer people who doubt you."
"on the contrary."
“They will worship you instead.”
Ah Huai listened to Lu Chihuan's words with a smile on his face. Because his eyes were covered by a black cloth, the windows of his soul were also closed, making it impossible to guess his true emotions.
He is like the ice on the lake.
It sparkles with shimmering light under the refraction of sunlight and looks extremely beautiful.
But once you step on it.
Only then did I realize how fragile the ice is.
There is even freezing cold lake water below that can swallow people's lives at any time.
"What do you mean—"
"You want me to fight for power?"
Ah Huai seemed to think that Lu Chihuan was very interesting when he said this, and the smile on his lips became more genuine. "Don't you think that I am a useless person from now on after I go blind? Isn't it difficult to do this?"
In fact.
It’s not that no one had comforted him before.
But their voices and actions still exuded a condescending pity for him, as if they thought it would be difficult for him to live alone since he was blind.
No one ever advised him to fight for power and wealth.
The Lu Xing in front of you is the first one.
"I don't think so."
Lu Chihuan answered cheerfully, "In other small countries, there are people who are blind or have missing limbs who have become powerful people. On the contrary, I think you are very talented."
Light is the temperament of this body.
That kind of vague coldness and the feeling of detachment from the world that seems to be overlooked makes him sound like a charlatan.
Suddenly.
Ah Huai seemed to be pleased by Lu Chihuan's words.
His fingers, which were almost transparent, tapped his cane a few times. His voice was fragile and joyful. "I have taken your advice to heart."
"I'll try."
“So you must live longer.”
Lu Chihuan raised his hand and patted his chest, "Don't worry, I have survived a lot of hardships to save my life, and I cherish it very much."
"so."
"I will never let anyone else take it away."
While they were talking, Ali's father came back from outside.
He is tall and strong.
He looked quite ferocious, and there were even white old scars on his arms. If Ali hadn't taken the initiative to run out to greet him, Lu Chihuan would never have imagined that they were actually a family.
how to say.
It feels a bit inconsistent.
It's as if completely unrelated people were forcibly put together by some force.
Ali's mother was cursing again, "…Why do you always run out? You didn't even know your daughter was bullied. Look, she has become more capable and brought a stranger and a little blind boy back to our place…"
Ali's father just smiled.
"I just wanted to go out and see if there was any prey. We haven't had fresh food for a long time... but in the end, we didn't get anything."
"I only brought back some sea buckthorn berries."
"Ali, take it and eat it."
Ah Li's mother was very impatient when she heard this. "I heard that Yan Chuan and his family are organizing people, and they seem to be planning to kill a few wolves at night. If you really want to hunt, why don't you just follow them..."
"Why do you put so much effort into it?"
"Besides, what good prey can there be in this desert? We might as well wait until we get into the city!"
The couple had another quarrel.
It was Ali's mother who was making the unilateral comments, while her father remained silent.
His face turned a little blue.
But they were probably concerned about their daughter Ali, so after a while of arguing, they began to take out small pieces of bacon from their backpacks, put them into a small pot, and stewed them together with the cactus they had just peeled.
Ali came to Lu Chihuan excitedly.
Then he distributed the sea buckthorn fruits to Lu Chihuan and Ah Huai, "Brother Ah Huai, Brother Lu Xing!"
"You guys can eat together!"
After Lu Chihuan received the sea buckthorn fruits.
He took out a few candies from his small bag and stuffed them into the hands of Ah Huai and Ah Li respectively, "It's a gift to return the favor."
Ah Li looked surprised.
"It's sugar!"
As she spoke, she carefully peeled off the candy wrapper, stuffed the candy into her mouth, and then whispered incoherently, "My grandma said that candy is a rare thing. Brother Lu Xing, where did you get this?"
Come to this strange world.
Lu Chihuan had already thought about the need to fabricate a background to fit into the world.
"This."
"My parents probably bought them for me. My parents and I used to live on a very remote planet. There were few people there, and there was no star network, so they liked to buy me candies and toys."
"Treating me like a child."
When Ah Li heard these words, she immediately grasped the key point, "Brother Lu Xing, your family should be well off, why did you end up here?"
Lu Chihuan put on an ignorant and confused expression at the right time, "I don't know exactly what happened. I only know that my parents hurriedly stuffed me into the spaceship that day and started it up."
"After this."
“I’ve been drifting in the universe.”
"The fuel in the spacecraft ran out not long ago, and I crashed here in the escape capsule."
