Chapter 268
"Crackle, crackle... "
The firewood in the huge fireplace burns non-stop, generating enough heat to keep the room warm.
On one immature face after another, the bright eyes were full of hope.
In the solstice of winter, there is nothing like a flame that gives people an absolute sense of security.
Knock
, knock, knock
.
...
...
Footsteps from far and near.
It's a familiar voice to all and comes every night.
Everyone has a common name for her.
Sister Arecino.
To their surprise, the amiable sister of Arecchino was fond of calling herself their servant.
Although I don't understand, everyone is still used to calling her sister.
Endless wind and snow.
Enough to turn any tiny human in thin clothing into a snowdrift slightly above the ground in half an hour.
I was lucky to be able to come to the "House of Fireplaces".
The clothes are not clean, but they are very warm.
The food was delicious, not only was it filling, but there was also an occasional very nice snack.
The most important thing is that it is warm enough.
In the country of solstice, warmth is the premise of everything.
Fatui costumes and lots of "little knowledge" that will never be leaked are hung on the walls, and they have a little task every day.
Of course, this is as a reward for warmth, food, clothing.
Children are simple and complex creatures.
After hovering on the boundary between life and death, the child will desperately grasp the straw to get alive.
Isn't it all possible to consider whatever the cost?
That kind and kind smiling face appeared as promised, and it was still so good-looking.
The children instantly gathered around, shouting one after another.
The eyes of countless people are full of crazy cross eyes, and in the eyes of these children, there is the hope of life.
What Arechino brought today was a delicious ham.
Everyone is able to get a big root.
Many of the younger children are desperate to bite into the ham from the moment they get it, ready to feast on it.
There is also a strict hierarchy of children, and these battles only exist in the shadows, and Arechino receives reports accordingly every day.
In this regard, Aricino's instructions to the management were to ignore it completely.
No matter where they are, equality and fraternity are the dreams that the weak look forward to when they are bullied.
The strong can choose to bully and can also be kind.
Eternal humility and love
may exist in reality, but it will not exist forever.
Some people may do this, but most people
will never do this! The law of the jungle is the core of this world that will never change, and the cruelty of survival is a mark on the bones of every child here.
If you can't survive in the well-fed "greenhouse" of the Fireplace, how can you become a good informant or a Fatui soldier in the future?
It seems clumsy, but it's actually smart.
Just as many people cannot understand why beggars eat enough to eat, these survival skills, which can only be mastered on the border between life and death, will never be understood.
"Everyone, have you ever seen my brother wearing the same clothes as me recently?"
"Yes!"
"How do you feel about him?"
...
What awaited Arecchino was silence, and even the children who were eating ham stopped moving.
"Everyone, don't worry, tell my sister, okay?"
After a while, the first little boy who was a little older stood up and said tentatively
, "That brother asked such strange questions, and we couldn't answer them. They all think he's not a good person. There
was a slight ripple in the blood-colored cross pupils.
The corners of his mouth seemed to be holding back a smile.
"What about the others?"
"Sister Alecino, we think so, too, he looks very strange, he laughs a while and doesn't laugh at a while, he looks so obscene!" said
the girl, and hurriedly sat down, snatching the ham that belonged to her from the other boy's hand.
"What about the others? Sister Arecino would love to hear your voices, okay?"
With this kind encouragement, more and more children stood up and spoke their minds.
However, because of the first teenager, most of the children still classify Qin Yu as a bad person.
"Thank you!"
Before he finished speaking, all the children stood up with their brushes, and they didn't even have time to wipe the ham crumbs from the corners of their mouths.
This is some kind of special code between Arecino and the children.
"Thank you to Her Majesty the Queen for giving us a sweet dream of sleeping in the snow. "
The sound is so loud that you can still hear it clearly even on a snowy night.
Get out of the room.
Arecchino could no longer hide the smile in his heart.
It turns out that these children have become like themselves in many ways.
That's right, that guy Qin Yu is indeed not a good person.
Outwardly, no.
When you come into contact, you're a bad person.
How
could a young man who had never seen the blood, tears, and wails of the bottom be able to shoulder the heavy responsibility of Her Majesty the Empress?
Whenever night fell, if Arecino came alone, he would not have taken any means of transportation.
The white that fell in the darkness was flawless and full of pitch black.
I love such a unique landscape.
"Mistress Arecino, slow down. "
Hmm. "
Squeak, squeak.
Stepping on the soft snow is very pleasant to the sound and touch.
"Yo, Sister Arechino, good evening!" said
in the same tone as the children of the fireplace.
Obviously, Qin Yu had been waiting in some imperceptible place since just now.
It could never be outside the house.
One is because I can't hear clearly.
The second reason is that Arechino would never believe that Qin Yu would eavesdrop in the cold wind and snow.
He doesn't have that kind of consciousness yet.
Needless to ask why, Arecino just knows it.
"I don't need to see you, please leave.
"Oh, fellow executives, and we met by chance on such a cold night, Sister Arechino, don't
you feel cold? Do you feel lonely all the way to your residence alone?
Don't you feel empty when you look at this snowy night?"
Only when it is empty, lonely and cold, can it be possible to take advantage of the emptiness.
Isn't it?"
"Sister Arecino, don't look like this! I'm a man who hasn't been to Mondstadt, but I know the character of a gentleman best. "
It's annoying.
Even the originally pleasant howling of the wind and snow has now become as noisy as mosquitoes and flies.
It's all because of someone who has no face at all and doesn't know how to keep his distance!"
In an instant, Arechino moved.
An afterimage appeared in place.
"Ahh
Strangely, this does not feel like a real thing at all.
I clearly didn't see any dodging.
"Sister Alechino?" Qin
Yu tugged at the wide robe.
There is one thing to say, it is worthy of being a gift from the Ice Empress, whether it is texture or warmth, there is nothing to say.
Whoosh!Whoosh!
....
...
Throwing knives come at you strongly.
Go to Qin Yu's eyes and heart respectively.
The attack is crazy and ruthless, how can you tell that this is the sister who was kind to the children just now?
"You seem to have some affection for me! I don't dare to give me such a generous gift as soon as we met!"
Qin Yu's smile was as bright and bright as ever, but it was Arechino on the other side who was a little strangely interested.
Put away the twin knives.
Approach.
There is not the slightest hostility.
The next second.
Qin Yu actually found that it was so easy for his dream to come true?
The moment his lips were printed, a punch smashed straight into his soft stomach.
Zero damage.
It hurts, it hurts.
"Hmph!"
Qin Yu clutched his stomach, enjoying the boundless pain after the short sweetness.
This woman is ruthless enough!
Qin Yu's grinning appearance appeared in the mirror in the dark ice and snow castle, causing the woman to laugh for a while.
Half a day.
Arechino was already waiting outside the door.
"Her Majesty. "
What do you think of him?"
"He?"
After a brief loss of consciousness, Arecino replied lightly.
"Not a good person. "
N-A-A
