Chapter 60: Rest
The sound seemed to come to an end as soon as the door closed. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
It was quiet, the windows were open, and there was no insect chirping in the air that Kasia wanted to hear. Outside, a dry-green meadow, bypassing the silhouettes of the buildings, reveals a huge sand-proof forest lined up in a corner, and then a white-gray fault cloud piling up in the air. The wind is very small, and the clouds may be rippling like a lake.
Kasia thought so, and his mind came up with the puddles on the road after the rain that he had seen, and the water under the breeze at that time would be a microcosm of the surface of the lake? The Moon Lake, which was not far away, was not the lake he hoped it would be.
Books describe the blue surface of the lake as a mirror, and the white clouds that slowly drift in the sky seem to inadvertently enter the world of the lake. But whether there really is a calm lake in this world, no one can say.
There was once a group of people who traveled to different corners of the world in search of lakes with different views and personalities. Finally they found a huge lake, boundless, with no end in sight of the calm lake. Then they took a small wooden boat, swaying on the surface of the lake, the stern of which swayed in layers of triangular waves. The surface of the lake was very blue, and they said it was the color of the sky, and it was so blue that it seemed to be a corner cut directly from the sky, and even the waves were the same color.
Eventually, the ripples from the stern of the boat became smaller and smaller, and they completely melted into the surface of the lake and entered another world.
This is Kasia's favorite "Blue Lagoon" book when he was a child, and the group of people who pursued the lake relied on their own efforts and hearts for the lake, and finally were accepted by the spirit of the lake and entered the world on the surface of the lake.
After lying in bed for a while, Kasia felt that she was still in good spirits and had time to think about the lake.
She was so hungry that she didn't even have the strength to scream, and by the time David's old cook pushed the food in the cart, Kasia had drunk all the cold water that had been put aside.
By noon, Kasia had the strength to go out for a walk and not have to lie in bed. There was no one in the huge house, and David's two young daughters followed him to the city of Grun, leaving only an old cook.
The old chef said that Carla had left in the car in the morning, and that the owner, David, had been busy with his own business for the past two days, and that the time to come back had become less. A lot of the time, only Kara comes back once in a while while it's time to eat.
"There must have been something big going on in the city, and when I went to buy food, there were patrolling troops everywhere, which was weird and scary. He said, then took a drag on his cigarette, "Don't mind if I smoke, you're covered in blood when the boss carried you back that night." In less than three days, you can sit here and make small talk with me. ”
"It's fine. Kasia shook her head, "It's not a serious injury, and it's all fine." ”
"I really envy you young people, old bones like me, if you don't pay attention to falling, you may have to lie down until you enter the coffin. The old cook smiled and said, "Maybe you can't enter the coffin yet, the imperial law says that cremation must be done, otherwise the body will decompose and easily spread disease, they say." ”
"There are too many rules for the imperial law to bluff people, so don't care. Kasia smiled as he spoke, the old chef's spirit was much calmer than his.
One day when nothing happened, Kasia walked around the house, as if she had lost her direction, and kept going in circles in the same place.
Eventually, he took out two revolvers and maintained them like Kara. And the so-called maintenance is nothing more than to wipe them with dust, and wipe each bullet with a towel to make it brighter.
Kasia was doing the pointless work very seriously, and on the clean table, every bullet seemed as sharp as a sword, and if possible, each shot represented a life. Nearly three hundred rounds of ammunition, and two pistols made of high-grade metal, he wiped them three times before the light outside finally dimmed.
The hard time of the afternoon finally passed by me, but the silent night came.
After eating a rich dinner alone, his digestive system was comparable to that of a furnace of flames, and he quickly demanded a large amount of material and energy from it. On the emaciated body, layers of energy-storing fat began to rise again, like a reservoir of water used to collect rainwater in the desert.
Returning to his room and sitting, the bright light seemed so dazzling to Kasia for the first time. He removed the gauze from his hands and drugged the palms of each other. The top was joined together by the same granulations as a brush, and in some places you could already see the soft skin that had grown up.
The contents of the four tubes of tranquilizers continued to have a faint effect, and the five broken ribs had been joined together during his sleep, and the rest was only to consolidate the healing effect. Their ribs are much stronger than expected, and in the first stage, the density and hardness of the bones will reach the level of real steel, which is different from the weight of ordinary people, and most of the reason is also due to this. And Kasia only broke a few ribs in the explosion, partly because the operation was about to pass into the middle of the first stage, and secondly, of course, because of the hardness of the bones. Bones like steel are not easy to break.
Leave the light on in the room to see the information that Carla brought back from Faeston until late at night. The light of a street lamp came in through the window, and the insects had disappeared for a few days, and the light could no longer attract them. The streetlights also seem to have become a little lonely, and no bugs can fly around it all night.
After reading all the information, Kasia drank a glass of juice and went to bed. He was lying on the bed with his eyes wide open, and he just couldn't sleep. The newly healed body didn't feel much fatigue, and his spirit should be very tired according to reason, but the moment the light was turned off, he felt that his whole body was burning.
"It's a pity that there is no one to talk to. Kasia muttered to herself in the dark, her eyes glued to the streetlights outside until she was about to burst into tears, then she sighed and closed her eyes. But the eyeballs still kept moving under the noses, and the spirit was surprisingly good at this time.
Thinking that Kara, Leigh, and Krichens should have been in the mine by now and began to follow Gustin's mark, Kasia felt a little lost.
I am not an essential part of them, no matter who I am. He seemed to be a dispensable figure, which hit him a bit. Sometimes he thinks he can control the big picture, only to realize that he is just a small pawn. Although he gradually became more aware of himself, the growing sense of emptiness consumed him. From an ordinary civilian teenager to a person who now holds a gun and shoots has become a daily person, Kasia has always come in a daze. Whatever the military school arranged, he followed. Where he is weak, he takes the time to strengthen. Everything seemed to be going well, but he felt awkward.
Yes, it's just awkward, he thought.
"But what's awkward, the military school doesn't charge tuition, and there is a subsidy of 10,000 holy coins every month, how good. What are you losing here by yourself, you are not a precious person in the first place, as long as you do your best. Kasia cheered herself up in a different tone.
"In fact, no one is expecting themselves, everything is just their own delusions. He went on to say, suddenly feeling a lot better. "Now it's just a matter of trying to survive every mission. ”
With this in mind, Kasia fell asleep.
The next day, things were still going on, and Kasia began to do some simple recovery exercises in her recovery spirit.
By the third day, Kara and the others had not returned, and Kasia's palm was almost healed, and he began to practice shooting and stabbing the sword, occasionally recalling fighting and breathing.
On the afternoon of the fourth day, David came back with a new refill, which Carla had made when he left.
He told Cassia that a commercial airship would come to the Grun Oasis tomorrow afternoon and stay for a few days. He wants to take the opportunity to sell a little more jewelry, and he will be very busy in the future, and he will have less time to come back. If there's anything to do, just leave it to the old chef to do, he said, and leave in a hurry.
Kasia watched the shadow of David's departure disappear, and suddenly felt that it was excellent to be alive for a small goal like David. Maybe there was something called a goal, or an ideal, in some unnamed corner of Kasia's mind, but unfortunately he couldn't describe what it looked like at all.
A hand clapped him on the shoulder, and a long voice reached his ears.
"Mr. Kasia, you can't completely let your guard down when you're resting. You're so defenseless that you could have died a dozen times. ”
