The whole world is God's help

On the first day of adulthood, Ash was chased all the way back to the village by an angry Aubrey.

Ash ran hard ahead.

"Stop!" Aubrey followed.

"Aubrey, don't bully Ash!" Shanna followed.

People in the village watched and laughed, and wondered: "Hey, Ash runs really fast today."

Ash also noticed that today's footsteps were extraordinarily light, and he still had enough time to turn around from time to time and look at Aubrey wonderingly.

Aubrey ran so slowly today that he still hasn't caught up with me?

Aubrey was stared at by him with a puzzled look of "why haven't you caught up?", so depressed that a mouthful of old blood stuck in his throat.

See the hell!

Aubrey was holding his breath, and Ash, who was usually out of breath after running for a few steps, how could he jump faster than a rabbit today?

He has always boasted that his arms are thicker than Ash's thighs, and that he is the big brother who covers Ash. Does he have to admit now that he can't outrun Ash?What a joke!

So even when Shanna told him to stop, he pretended he didn't hear.

The result of his bravery was that he chased Ash and ran around the village for three full laps.

He lay on the ground like a dead dog, and Ash accepted everyone's amazed onlookers alive and kicking.

"Come, come, let Auntie see, is this still our Ash?"

"Ash, are you tired? Come and drink some sugar water."

"Ash, I didn't realize that you can run so well."

"It's incredible." Derek also pulled Ash in amazement, and looked around, "Does he still have such a qualitative change when he is an adult? How can he surpass Aubrey?"

Aubrey, who was lying flat, turned over silently in shame: "..." Being overturned by the weak chicken Ash, he chose to die.

Ash also looked at himself in amazement, is he still able to double his stamina and physical strength when he is an adult?Or...is this also magic?

magic.

This strange and mysterious word made his heart tremble.

If only I could have magic...

He felt the desire again.

But Ash still remembered what the old man told him last night. He collected himself and quickly slapped down the little sprout in his heart. He looked up at Derek: "Uncle Derek, I have something to tell you."

He had made up his mind yesterday to tell Derek his suspicions about Rachel.But I didn't expect that Derek's hidden danger was completely eradicated last night after twists and turns.

But with that came greater dangers.

"It's not the end", "Peace will collapse"... If these words are not alarmist, what should everyone in the village do?

After what happened to Rachel, Ash planned to seek help from the elders in the village from the very beginning this time.

Ash's expression was too serious, and there was still panic and worry in his eyes that couldn't be hidden.When Derek saw it, his thick black eyebrows frowned, and he raised Ash with his big hand: "Come with me."

Ash was taken by him to the hut at the entrance of the village.

"Eat some of this first." Derek took out a baguette from the kitchen, "to pad your stomach."

Ash thanked him in a low voice, sat down on the sofa beside him with the bread, and gnawed on it bit by bit. He was indeed hungry.

Derek poured him another cup of hot water and put it on hand: "Drink whatever you want, don't choke."

Ash obediently picked up his water glass and took another sip.

Derek sat across from him, and waited until Ash had almost eaten before he spoke: "What do you want to say? His face is uglier than before."

Ash held the water glass in his hand, and didn't know where to start talking for a while.

After thinking about it, let's start with Rachel.

"Uncle Derek, did you see Rachel this morning?"

Derek shook his head: "Not yet. What's wrong?"

"I won't see him again in the future," Ash said. "He died last night."

"What?" Derek sat forward, feeling that he might have misheard.

"Rachel is dead."

Ash speaks clearly.

Don't be kidding, how can you talk nonsense about this kind of thing? ——If the person who said this was Aubrey, Derek would definitely stop slapping him with such strict words.

But now it's Ash.

Ash with full credit.

"..." Derek was a little confused, resting his forehead with a headache, "How do you know?"

Ash said, "I saw it."

"Ash, did you have a nightmare last night?" Derek wiped his face, choosing his words carefully, "Did you take what happened in the dream as...uh..." Well, he couldn't even say down.

Ash is not Aubrey's kind of idiot who has nightmares and can't distinguish reality, and the whole village knows his bluster.

"You wait." He made a pause gesture to Ash, and then strode out the door.

Ash silently added a glass of water to himself, and his heart was as warm as warm water.

Uncle Derek probably went to Mr. Nathan for verification.

It was precisely because he trusted him that Uncle Derek would go to ask for evidence, instead of dismissing him as he was talking nonsense.

After a long time, Derek came back wrapped in damp.

An indescribably complicated expression on his face.

Rachel is missing.

Nathan thought Rachel was out for a walk, but Derek asked around, and it was true that no one in the village had seen him again today.

Except for him and Ash, no other villagers have noticed this difference.

Derek resumed his previous seat.

"Tell me about it." He said with difficulty, "What happened to him?" Such a big thing happened in the village, and the only person who noticed and knew about it was a just-adult child!Thinking of Ash witnessing a death with his own eyes, the feeling in Derek's heart, tsk!

Ash sat upright and began to repeat, including his wariness of Rachel from the beginning.

He has never said such a long sentence, and he has to pause from time to time, trying to find a suitable way to describe it.

And Derek also listened intently from the beginning, his expression became indescribable again, the three views were baptized by surreal magicism, the wind was messy and crumbling.

magic?

Rachel knows magic, holds Aubrey and Shanna hostage, and has plans for Ash.

The wandering troupe can also use magic, can transform into a big tent out of thin air, and can confuse everyone in the village with a little memory error after sleeping?

The latter one magically killed the former one, and kindly left behind an alarmist prophecy?

Derek: "..." He still has to take his time.

"It's magic." Ash reminded him in a low voice, "Look, I ran past Aubrey today."

Derek thought tangledly, indeed, the power that can cause this result can only be magical magic, right?

But there is such a thing as magic?

Isn't it the same as in the show performed by the troupe?

Human beings who summon wind and rain, do they really exist?

He is no longer a child who likes to listen to bedtime stories. It is really difficult for an adult to accept this statement.But meeting Ash's sincere eyes, Derek warned himself not to be narrow-minded.

It is undoubtedly foolish to measure the world with one's own vision.

He can't give the kids a bad head.

He stood up and walked in front of Ash, his tall and strong body was extremely oppressive.

"Ash." His big hands with thick calluses pressed the top of Ash's head and rubbed it vigorously, as if he wanted to pour courage and strength from his body into the young man, "Did you get scared last night?"

Ash shook his head under his palm.

"You've done a good job." Derek lowered his voice, "Thank you for trusting me. I'll go to the village chief and have an in-depth discussion about what you said. The rest is up to us adults. But -"

He laughed: "Ash, you can always surprise people. If you find anything, you can tell me in time like today." He pressed his hand again, "You were the only one who was worrying about it before. ,Thanks for your hard work."

Ash pursed the corners of his lips, and whispered, "Last night's clothes were stained with blood, and I put them away. I cleaned up the place where Rachel fell, but there were traces left."

It will be easier to be believed if these evidences are shown to the village chief.

Derek froze for a moment, and praised him sincerely again: "You did a good job."

Clean up the traces in time, and there will be no panic in the village.

If that prophecy is true, Derek is also not in favor of letting the whole village know.

What if you know?

The prophecy that "peace is shattered" is probably related to magic.In Derek's view, this is on the same level as "there will be a big earthquake" and "there will be a big storm". It is an event that even if they know it will happen, they cannot stop it with their strength.

It was impossible for them to move out of the village, and they did not know where it would be safe to move.

Instead of living in fear and worry, it is better to know less and be a happy fool.

Derek sighed, like he was going to lose a lot of his hair now.

But there must be a tall man to carry it.You can't let Ash, a child, stand in front, can you?

Even if we know that natural disasters are coming and cannot be stopped or resisted, but the reason why human beings are human is that they will resist and struggle. Otherwise, what is the difference from a salted fish lying flat?

"It's really a problem for me." He muttered to himself, and rubbed Ash's hair vigorously again, as if revenge for causing him to lose his hair, "If the prophecy is false, I will definitely ask The whole village drank wine all night to celebrate!"

Ash couldn't hold back, and reminded him: "Uncle Derek, you still owe the tavern ten copper coins."

Derek: "..."

Do you know that talking too bluntly is easy to be beaten?

……

Ash got it.

The author has something to say: Aubrey (with a strong smile): Just talk about how many shots I lay in this chapter.
