The Frozen Snowy Land is a very peculiar place in the mysterious island. It snows all year round, and the smog is heavy all year round, and there is almost never any weather other than cloudy or snowy days. Because of this, most of the people who live here don't know what rain is and what a hot day is, because they have never seen the sun

Ice Village Bazaar - Erinas Weapons Shop

A young man in a brown trench coat put his hands on the armrest in front of the Erinas weapon shop and looked up at the sky, his expression was peaceful and smiling, as if something happy had happened.

Her short blonde hair shone brightly in the pale yellow light, and the snowflakes fluttering in the sky were reflected in her light blue eyes.

Looking at the soft golden light in the sky, the young man didn't know what suddenly came to his mind. The corners of his mouth gradually flattened slightly, and the hands that caressed the armrests slowly clenched

"Such a warm light, if Xiaoxing can enjoy it every day, he will be very happy!" The young man whispered.

After an inaudible sigh, the young man shook his hands slightly. Then he rubbed off the snow and ice that was still sticking to his leather gloves on his trench coat.

"Gurgle, cluck, cluck" The young man walked down the wooden stairs step by step. When he was about to reach the end of the steps, the young man seemed to have noticed something and looked back slowly.

A middle-aged man in a red fleece shirt and a black cape stood helplessly at the door of the weapons shop.

The middle-aged man scratched his short pale green hair, raised his thick eyebrows and asked the young man, "Grar, the store is busy now, you always pick this time to go back, can't you stay and help?" If you do a good job, you can get paid more, right? ”

When Glaal heard this, his face was slightly red, and he lowered his head and replied in a low voice, "Mr. Scott, thank you for your kindness." But my brother is still "

Before Glar could finish speaking, Scott sighed lightly and said, "It's Xiaoxing, right?" In this kind of place, there are people who take care of a child who is not related to you, how kind are you? But it's because you have that character that Lumi can be saved."

Scott fell into deep thought as he spoke, his face as dark as a gray cloud, as if it were about to drop raindrops.

After a while, Scott came back to his senses, his expression gradually returning to normal. He subconsciously looked down and saw that Gral was still looking up at himself at the bottom of the steps.

Snowflakes continued to fall on Glaar's velvet hat and shoulders, and a white skin could be faintly seen. Glaar didn't notice it, his eyes seemed to look through Scott into the distance.

There was a determined light in his eyes, a light that seemed to have the effect of not being questioned and convincing, and the persuasion that Scott had wanted to say could no longer be said.

Scott, who knew Gral well, knew that he had made a decision of his own accord, and that it would never change.

Scott shook his head, took out a pocket watch from his coat pocket, looked at the time, waved his hand to Glar, and said, "Glar!" Pay attention to your body! Tomorrow is a ten-day holiday, remember to bring your brother over here to play! ”

Glaar also came back to his senses after hearing this, smiled and bowed to Scott and said, "Thank you for your concern!" Scott store manager! Xiaoxing, he will definitely be happy! ”

Graal also waved his hand to Scott and walked briskly towards the outer village of Ice Village.

As the snowshoes continued to fall from Glaar's feet, the sound of "crunch, crunch, crunch" gradually disappeared in front of the Erinus weapons shop.

★?????????????????? ★

"Crunch-crunch-crunch" Graar's steps became slower and slower, his legs seemed to be filled with iron, and it seemed so difficult to lift his feet.

Looking at the snowdrift that had reached his calf, Glar sighed lightly and shook his body slightly, speeding up his pace towards a two-story wooden house in the distance.

Looking at the spacious wooden house in front of him, Glaal couldn't help but think of Erinas in the Ice Village Market, and probably the weapons shop was not much bigger than his own.

It's just that Erinas is fundamentally different from his own cabin.

Glaar didn't think much of it, he skillfully took off a leather glove and pulled a bunch of keys from his bosom with his pale and weak hand.

"Jingle bells, jingle bells." After two turns around the keyring, Gral finally found a dull brass key.

Grar trembled slightly with the key in his hand and sent it to the keyhole on the wooden door, once-twice. Glaal couldn't even align the key, and the sharp and piercing sound of the metal seemed to make Glaar's heart panic, and the hand holding the key trembled even more.

At some point, fine beads of sweat appeared on his forehead, and his steady breathing gradually became chaotic. The originally radiant eyes were bloodshot, shaking sharply in the sockets, as if enchanted.

"Squeak~~~" A slight sound of opening the door came.

"Brother!" A childish voice that seemed to be full of surprise and excitement came from inside the room.

The little boy with light blue hair and dark blue eyes poked his head out of the crack in the door, and when he saw Glaar lying straight on the ground, he couldn't help but blurt out a loud shout: "Brother-"

★?????????????????? ★

Candlelight flickered in the dimly lit room, and a thin figure could be seen lying on the edge of the bed in the faint candlelight.

Gral lay asleep on the bed on a cork pillow, his brow furrowed and his eyes closed, the sweat on his face sliding down his jaw like running water.

His body trembled as if he had had had some nightmare, and he was slurring words.

The thin figure half-lying on the bed was awakened by this slight tremor, he quickly got up and soaked and wrung out the basin of water on the wooden cabinet with the towel he had held tightly in his hand, and then gently wiped the still handsome face of the young man on the bed.

I don't know if it was because he used too much force when he wiped it or because he couldn't sleep himself, but when he was halfway through the wipe, Graar's closed eyes slowly opened.

The two looked at each other for a moment, and after a while, Graal reacted first, took the towel held by the child, and wiped it casually on his face and neck.

"Xiaoxing, thank you for your hard work. My brother's work is really useless, and he still has to let his brother worry about me! Grar gently put the towel into the basin on the wooden cabinet, and leaned back against the head of the bed as if with difficulty, and said to his brother who was struggling on the bed with a gentle smile.

"Absolutely not! If my brother who works so hard to make money is useless, then I can only be regarded as a drag oil bottle - a burden" The child tried hard to defend his brother, but the more he talked about it, the more depressed he became.

Glar looked angry and said to Nebula, "Aren't we brothers? I'm Glar. High repair, and you are Glar. Nebula. We are not related by blood, but you are my brother anyway! ”

"There is no burden or dislike between brothers, and only by supporting each other can we live better. Maybe when I'm old in the future, I still need Xiaoxing to work to support my brother! Gao Xiu paused and continued to speak to Xingyun, but his tone had already changed from stern to gentle.

The nebula, whose tears were originally swirling in his eyes, finally couldn't help but fall down after hearing Gao Xiu's words.

Looking at Nebula, who was pouting and wiping tears from his cuffs from time to time, Gao Xiu sighed lightly, slowly moved his feet to the floor, sat cross-legged in the center of the bed, and then stretched out his hands to wrap around Nebula's slender waist and gently bring them into his chest.

As soon as Xingyun touched Gao Xiu's chest, he cried out, and a low cry through the fabric went straight into Gao Xiu's heart, and Gao Xiu felt as if he had returned to that time five years ago.

At that time, children also cried in their arms, but it was not like crying for others' worries, self-blame, and emotion. Rather, it is for the salvation of life

From that day on, he decided to give up the path he had always believed in, and he never regretted giving up everything he had for him and them!

When Nebula's cry gradually faded, Gao Xiu looked at the wall clock on the wall at the head of the bed with the small candle flame that was about to burn out.

"It's already nine o'clock!? If you don't get out of the house quickly, you might be late! Gao Xiu said as he got up quickly to change his clothes, wearing gloves and a velvet hat, and looked like he was going out immediately.

After hearing what Gao Xiu said, Xingyun hurriedly jumped out of Gao Xiu's arms, wiped the moist corners of his eyes again, and then hurriedly ran towards the kitchen.

After a while, Gao Xiu, dressed in a brown trench coat, stood at the door of the first floor of the inner room, as if waiting for something.

After a short while, a thin figure stumbled towards the door of the first floor of the back room in the direction of the kitchen where Gao Xiu was looking.

Xingyun gasped for breath, holding his knees with one hand and holding two slices of bread in the other.

After taking the bread handed to Xingyun, Gao Xiu held the bread in one hand and said to Xingyun, "That's right, Xiaoxing! Manager Scott invites you to the store tomorrow, so you have to be nice! ”

Xingyun was stunned when he heard the news, his eyes were full of joy and joy, and then his thin body jumped high as if it was loaded with a spring, and ran into Gao Xiu's arms.

Xingyun wrapped his arms around Gao Xiu's sturdy waist, raised his head and looked at Gao Xiu with his eyes that could almost be said to be sparkling, and said excitedly: "Brother! I'm going to buy a magic circle lollipop! And that rainbow magic drink that changes color! And there's the magic book that turns the pages on its own! And there's more! ”

Gao Xiu looked at Xingyun's happy appearance, and he seemed to be happy too.

"Whatever brother will buy for you, let's go shopping together tomorrow!" It's just that before that, you have to take good care of your home, and then don't forget the basic physical cultivation~" After Gao Xiu finished speaking gently, he supported Xingyun's shoulders with his arms and turned around twice for a long time.

After slowly putting Nebula down, Gao Xiu kissed Nebula lightly on his forehead.

Xingyun wiped the back of his hand a little shyly, and when he looked up again, Gao Xiu, who was standing at the door of the inner room, was long gone, only seeing the crack in the door slowly closing and hearing the sound of the door closing.

Looking at the sky that was covered by thick clouds as if it were night, Gao Xiu's heart was dull.

He looked down at the two slices of bread he was holding in his right hand, how striking the smiling face was painted with jam.

Gao Xiu swallowed these two slices of bread in two or three bites, in fact, with the size of these two slices of bread, it is still a little insufficient to fill the stomach of an adult, but Xingyun, who is still a child, is not very clear.

Feeling the sweet and sour taste in his mouth, Gao Xiu smiled helplessly, and then looked at the wooden house looming in the wind and snow with a gentle expression.

Xiaoxing, your wish will definitely come true! I swear by the name of Shinas!
