animal ears

Cole was stunned, and it took a long time to recover, then he suddenly stepped forward and grabbed Bryce's arm, and asked anxiously, "Bryce, do you know my parents?"

The corners of the wrinkled eyes gradually blurred, and the corners of Bryce's mouth trembled slightly: "How could I not know," he said, taking a deep breath, "Adoma is my child."

"What?!" Cole yelled.

"That's right," with a wry smile and bitter tears, Bryce held Cole's hand back and nodded lightly, "He is my child, and you... Cole, you are my child." Grandson, I’m sorry for keeping this from you, I just don’t know how to face you.”

Cole was stunned for a moment.

He never imagined that the old man in front of him turned out to be his relative, his grandmother.

Looking at Cole who was at a loss with his mouth wide open and his eyes wide open, Bryce patted the back of Cole's hand carefully, and then led him into the room and sat down. He looked at Cole and said : "It may be difficult for you to say this suddenly. I was shocked when I first saw you. At first I thought you..." After a pause, Bryce turned his head, lowered his eyes, and rubbed his hands silently, "I thought you were I was with Adoma more than 20 years ago... but I didn't expect you to be alive and look so healthy. I am very grateful to God for allowing you to live and live so well. I don't think it's just me, Ador Ma will be very happy too."

As he spoke, Bryce's tears rushed out, all over the old and wrinkled corners of his eyes, and his vicissitudes of face were full of sadness. Thinking of his son who was not by his side, the old man could no longer be strong, and his hair turned gray.

"I want you to live, continue to live, live well..." The old man kept crying, "Please..."

The last voice turned into pleading.

Unable to bear Bryce's plea, Cole is extremely soft-hearted, but if he becomes a partner with Sara in this way, then his own heart...what is it?

Ley, and the "he" who has never met.

After hesitating, Blaise turned around abruptly. He almost knelt in front of Cole, and gently grabbed his hand, trembling all over.

"Bryce, what are you doing!" Cole wanted to help him up, but he shook his head and refused.

Looking up, his purple eyes were full of pain and regret, like a lake full of sadness, holding Cole's hand tightly, Bryce said guiltily: "I failed to dissuade Adoma from leaving back then. , although this is his choice, I respect him, but I have suffered for it for more than 20 years, he is my only child, I love him more than my life, and now I am dying in my dying years, but I did not expect God to Brought you back, this time, I can't let you die again."

Bryce's words were very light, but the words were full of crazy thoughts, and the empty corners of his eyes, which were full of tears, almost collapsed.

"Bryce," sighed, Cole helped Bryce up and let him sit on the chair, while he squatted halfway in front of Bryce, unwilling to compromise, but he didn't dare to provoke Bryce any more, so he I could only let go of my obsession temporarily, so I raised my head and asked softly, "Can you tell me about the past? Tell me...Adoma, my parents."

Looking over, his sad eyes became a little softer, Bryce said: "He is a very gentle child, he is also very responsible, and he is very emotional."

"Sounds like a nice guy." Cole smiled and stroked the back of Bryce's hand comfortingly.

The faint light outside the house shone on Bryce's face, he shook his head with a wry smile, and said, "Yeah, he's good at everything, but he's stupid, he takes people and things too seriously, and in the end he gets himself covered in cuts and bruises... ...and keep going.

"

"What about my father?" Suddenly, Cole asked.

"Your father?" Hearing this, Bryce's eyes darkened, he shook his head, gritted his teeth angrily and said, "He is a villain, he betrayed your parents, and even abandoned him in the end!

His body trembled: "...what the hell is going on?"

"I don't know exactly what happened. I only know that after he had Adoma, he often provoked other females in private, and even left the tribe without saying a word. Adoma went to many places to find him. Later, Back in despair, he knew your father’s fault in his heart, but he still forgave him, but until Adoma gave birth to you, his life was about to be eroded by beast blood, and the villain hadn’t come back yet. You were married to the orc, but Adoma refused... That silly child insisted on taking you to see the villain for the last time before he was about to run out of life... I couldn't stop it." Bryce covered his face and cried , with an extremely sad expression, his tone almost out of control, "I knew I should stop him no matter what, at least...he doesn't have to die miserably outside, and you, my dear grandson, can go home early and don't have to be displaced. "

The smell of salty tears filled the air.

Cole held Bryce's trembling hand firmly, and said slowly and clearly: "I'm back, don't blame yourself, and Mom and Dad don't want you to be so sad, Zum."

Trembling slightly, Bryce stared over and said, "What did you call me?"

"Zum." Called again, and Cole smiled softly at Bryce, as if reassuring.

Sure enough, along with two lines of tears, Bryce smiled, even though he looked like he was crying harder, Cole hugged him gently, patted his back, the old and the young in this lonely little house, enjoying themselves Let go of the sorrow of so many years, and the joy of reunion.

The sunlight outside the house is quiet and warm, shining on the dirt-stained doorway, full of hope.

The footsteps outside the door were full of hesitation.

After a while, when he noticed the person at the door, Bryce wiped the corners of his eyes, raised his head, and called out in a strong nasal voice: "Don't hide, come in if you want to come in."

Now, the people outside came to the door hesitantly, then looked at the people inside, and walked into the room slowly.

"Parange, why are you here?" Cole got up to greet him.

Palanch put down the basket behind his back, there were some herbs in it, then glanced at Bryce, and said somewhat cautiously: "This is a herb."

"I asked him to collect the medicine for me." Bryce took the words, then stepped forward, carefully checked the medicine that Palanch had collected, nodded and said, "Very good, there is nothing wrong." Then he raised his eyes, suddenly "Xiaobai, your name is Palanch?"

"Xiaobai?" It was Cole's turn to be confused, and the corner of his mouth twitched and asked, "You mean Palanch?"

"Why, don't give him a title, how can I call him?" Bryce was not happy with Cole's surprise, and turned around and hummed, "I'm not the group of surprised guys in the tribe, Xiaobai... no , Palanch, he often comes to help me gather medicine, I am old and can’t go up the mountain, so he will go for me.”

At the end, Bryce added: "This kid is hardworking."

Cole nodded, while Palanch, who was praised, blushed and became even more embarrassed. Yintong looked at Bryce and then at Cole. After a while, he looked away, pursed his lips, and said lightly: "If nothing happens, I'll..."

"Let's stay and eat." Bryce waved his hand and took the words on his own initiative.

"Huh?" Palanch was surprised and froze at the door.

"I have a backache recently. The two of you are going to cook. I'll take a rest and call me when the meal is ready." After speaking, Bryce picked up the herbs and went out.

Cole smiled helplessly, looked at Palanch who was still in surprise, scratched his head and said, "He deliberately asked you to stay for dinner, so don't refuse."

"But..." Palanch lowered his head slightly, "but is this really good?"

"why not?"

Lowering his head, Palanch said, "Because everyone...all..."

"Hey, you two, don't you want to prepare? You want to starve me, an old guy?" Bryce shouted angrily at the door, twisting his face with an angry look.

"Yes, yes, let's go now." I have to say that Cole likes Bryce's sharp-mouthed and tofu-hearted character very much, and Cole feels very happy when he thinks that he is his own Zum.

Finding his loved ones gave him a great sense of belonging.

If only Ley was here.

Standing in front of the crude stove, Cole remembered that he had also cooked for Lay. Not knowing Lay's current situation, Cole was very worried, and his brows gradually became tinged with worry.

"What are you thinking about?" Palanch, who was preparing behind him, asked with his head.

Cole came back to his senses, shook his head, and said helplessly, "It's nothing, it's just... thinking about things."

"..."

"By the way," Cole turned his head slowly, "What did you say about everyone?"

When asked, Palanch suddenly stopped what he was doing, his eyes gradually darkened, he lowered his eyes, and said softly, "Everyone doesn't welcome me."

Unexpectedly, Cole turned his whole body around, tilted his head and asked, "How is it possible, haven't you been following Sara all the time?...Is it because of slaves?"

"Because I'm a foreigner." Curling his lips, Palanch said with a wry smile, "I can follow Master because he sympathizes with me."

"Foreigners?" Cole was puzzled, "Why, isn't Palanch from the Beast Ears?"

As he spoke, Palanch's eyes became more and more bitter. He lightly rubbed his fingertips and said lightly, "My father is not a member of the orc ear tribe."

"Eh?"

"My father used to be the patriarch of a certain tribe in the north. He came to the Beast Ear tribe by chance and fell in love with his mother and father. The two decided to become partners, but..." Palanch raised his head and fixedly looked at Cole, " Just like what Bryce said, if you marry a foreign race, your mother and father will die very early." Finally, he sighed and lowered his head, "But my mother and father didn't care about this and insisted on following my father, and my father treated him very well until I was born. That year... my father unfortunately died in a hunt, and the tribe that has always looked down on my mother and father couldn't tolerate us anymore and drove us out..."

"At that time, it was freezing and snowy, and my mother and father took me to almost freeze to death. In order to keep me alive, my mother and father gritted their teeth and took me back to the Beast Ear Clan. However, my mother and father's health has been broken since then..."

Recalling the past, Palanch's eyes were always mixed with tears, and then he continued: "But the people in the clan can't forgive their mother and father for betraying them, especially when he brought me back, a 'hybrid' The little orcs, so everyone doesn't want to see us."

Hearing the plain words made his heart ache, Cole couldn't help but stepped forward and gently hugged Palanch's head, then rubbed it, and didn't speak.

But Palanch continued, he leaned against Cole, squinted his eyes slightly and said: "Mother and father have suffered a lot for me, I always want him to live better, especially in the last few years when he was swallowed back by the blood of beasts , I tried my best to learn how to hunt, so as not to let my mother and father go hungry, but my mother and father’s health did not improve, so I begged the priest at that time to give my mother and father the animal blood that could last my life. Get out...Finally, the master promised me that as long as I do one thing for him...you can save my mother and father's life."

"Do one thing?" Cole lowered his head and asked softly.

Frowning slightly, Palanch reached out and grabbed Cole's hand with gentle force. He closed his eyes and said slowly, "Let me kill someone."

Almost choking voice.

"Kill someone?"

Palanch was trembling all over: "He is very much like my parents, gentle, brave, and very kind to me. I couldn't do anything, but in the end... I borrowed someone else's hand..." He said slowly , but sneered almost mockingly, "Am I going too far?"

"Parange..."

"I thought he would be able to save my mother and father when he died, but I didn't know until I returned to the village that my mother and father had died of illness half a month ago. He always wanted to see me when he was dying, but at that time I was thinking How to harm others." His body trembled slightly, "It's really ridiculous, me."

Cole didn't know how to answer him, so he had no choice but to continue hugging him, hoping to give him some comfort.

"Later the village asked me to leave, but fortunately the master still let me stay, but because I was always an outsider, the villagers didn't want to see me, so I had to stay in the village as a slave, living in seclusion, but..." He He raised his head, opened his clear silver pupils, and gave Cole a shallow and bright smile, "But I think my stay is worth it."?
