Mount and Blade

Chapter 5 Fame and Tears

"Sis, have you decided what to name the two children?" The old woman held Green and looked at Sis kindly, who looked a little dazed but obviously much more energetic.

Sis looked at the child in her arms, touched the child's head thoughtfully, and was silent for a long time.

"Hmm... Gus."

"Let's call him Gus. His blood is not as fresh as that child. He is the older brother. I hope he has enough courage to face such a world and protect what he wants to protect."

Gus? It can't be such a coincidence. Green realized that something was wrong.

Sis gently patted Gus to sleep, and seemed to remember the knowledge in the past. She was wooden for a long time.

"What about this child?"

The old woman saw that Sis was about to become unconscious again, and hurriedly asked while holding the child.

Sis slowly turned her head, and her expression gradually became kind. At this time, her expression was that of a mother who loved her children.

"Let's call him Green. I hope he's as strong as his brother and grows wildly like weeds... He has to live well... Haha, hehe."

After saying that, Xisi seemed to think of something happy and started to act crazy again, but it can be seen that she is really happy, even if she is stupid.

Green's dark eyes stared blankly at the woman who adopted him, and he felt indescribable in his heart. He can be considered to have a mother, right?

......

Three years later.

"Hu, hu, hu."

Green slashed in the trial realm as usual. Since he realized that this was a parallel world of Jianfeng, he has been training all the time in the past three years.

"

"Ha, ha, ha..."

Green lay on the virtual grass of the trial realm and gasped, but this was not enough to make up for the grief in his heart.

Just seven days ago, his adoptive mother Sis had a high fever, and the families of the warriors on the carriage came to take care of her, but Sis's condition was getting worse day by day, and even the skin of her right eye began to fester and pus, and was diagnosed as the Black Death by the female monk on the carriage.

In such a war-torn era with backward medical resources and technology, there is no cure.

"Hey!" Green pounded the ground in anger.

An inexplicable time travel, losing his biological mother at birth, and now even the only adoptive mother who made him feel warm is leaving him?

The space shattered, and with the dawn, consciousness returned to reality again.

"......"

I really don't want to wake up, even ten years in the training ground is better than letting myself suddenly face the reality.

Guts next to him is still ignorant, but Sis's weakness makes him feel very uneasy, and he ran to Sis's tent at dawn.

And today is the day hired by Jodah to attack the city. The soldiers outside are shouting and killing, and there are sounds of falling rocks and flying arrows from time to time.

Guts ran very fast, obviously a little scared by the scene in front of him. Although it was far away, the momentum was still shocking, and it was full of blood and violence.

Green, who was completely different from Guts's ignorance, left the tent with a heavy heart. He looked at the shouts of killing and the bloody smell rising to the sky outside. The clash of swords and the screams of sharp blades piercing through armor and cutting flesh were endless. All of this reminded Green that this was not a dream. This was a real, cruel world full of blood and violence. He could clearly see every gene of human barbarity and violence.

What a cruel world. Now he has to lose the last bit of warmth in this world. It's really cruel.

How ironic. He is really a person who only brings misfortune.

Green laughed at himself, but he had already walked to the front of Sis's tent and listened to the people inside saying some encouraging words.

"Cheer up, Sis." The old woman encouraged Sis.

"Gus, go outside!!"

Just when the old woman was about to drive Guts away, Green also entered the tent.

"You two go out. This is something called the Black Death. If it is infected, even you two will be finished!!"

"Ah...! Ah... Gus... Lin..."

Siss's hoarse voice made an obscure sound with difficulty, but it was obviously calling the names of the two children. It seemed that she realized that she could no longer be with the two children. Tears fell from her swollen right eye, and the other eye was already full of tears. Her right hand stretched out to the two children, as if she wanted to say a final goodbye.

Green's pupils shrank, and he suddenly felt that his adoptive mother was dying.

"Where is Gambino?" The old woman seemed to understand that Siss was dying.

"It's no use calling him, he's attacking the city." The woman holding the basin answered.

"Really!! When his woman is about to die, the so-called man is really......!!"

"...Find something to stuff her mouth..."

At this moment, I don't know if it was because of telepathy, Gus and Green squeezed through the middle of the old woman and the woman at the same time. Compared with Gus's hesitation, Green grabbed Sis's hand without hesitation. Maybe it was because he was a medical student in his previous life, his psychological endurance was still good, and he had seen more terrible wounds than this. But looking at the swollen abscess on Sis's right eye, he felt indescribably uncomfortable.

"! Hey, you two...!?"

"Green..."

Sis looked at Green, who had been sensible since childhood, and felt a little relieved. She turned to look at Gus.

"Gus..." It was already a weaker voice.

Gus may not have seen such a terrible abscess before, and he trembled with his hands and took the courage to hold Sis's right hand.

Seeing that both children were accompanying her, Sissy smiled with relief and slowly closed her eyes. After the last tear slid down her left eye, she could never wake up again.

Green clearly felt Sissy's departure, knelt on his knees, and couldn't stop crying. This was the first time he cried for someone around him since he came to this world.

Gus watched Sissy close her eyes in ignorance, thinking that she was just asleep, but he also felt uneasy in his heart. As a brother, he decided to comfort his brother.

"Don't cry... Green."

Gus patted Green's trembling shoulders, gently put Sissy's hand back into the quilt, and separated Green's tightly clenched hands. Then, he turned around and hugged Green, who was still crying, and gently patted Green's back to comfort him.

"Don't cry, Green, Mom just fell asleep..."
