Vol 2 Chapter 18 (1/2)

The Uncle and the Reunion (part 4)

The rain pattered down on the earth As the entire world was filled with dense lines of rain

The rain fell on tree leaves which couldn’t bear the load The leaves slanted slightly, and the freshwater flowed to the ground

I sloppily wiped off my face, but it was no use In the blink of an eye, my face had already been soaked by the rain

When it rains, so underneath a tree will e and becoer droplets

Ju

But in the end, I was not a free bird

Because of the downpour, I couldn’t see the sunrise I had no idea what time it was

All I could do was rush forith oal

This was the first tiic power, so I didn’t really knohat I was feeling Ordinarily, to senselessly gain such ic, there would be a certain price to pay

That time, it suddenly started to rain

I pulled out round

At that time, I was temporarily unsatisfied

I was dissatisfied with that expression

Fro a miserable smile

I believed that executioners didn’t have the qualifications to show that kind of expression

The first time I saw that expression hen I was little

My father was the village teacher He wore gold-riant

My irl who kneeave and cook, but was illiterate

My impression of them was very fuzzy

I only remembered their warm smiles; perhaps that was the reason why I liked Ailee later

When I was six years old, they were sentenced to death

Their sin was sheltering a demon

A month prior, my parents had found a Forest kind boy at their door, just five to six years old HIs clothes were full of holes, and he was covered in wounds I didn’t know that he was demon, so I pulled at my father’s pants and pleaded him to save him

Father fiercely shrugged off ered

But at that time, he slapped my face and shut the wooden door

However, after a few hours, my father and mother decided to take him in

Because his expression was really too pitiable He was like a heavily wounded baby animal

He and I becaether every day

A month later, I didn’t kno the information was leaked, but ere found out by an inspection official

I was barred froround, and I shouted out desperately

He sent aze, and then I felt like h

The demon was sentenced on the spot soon after, and my parents were sentenced to death

The tall wooden platforuillotine With both hands bound, e with slow and heavy steps

I stood at the very front of the crowd, not knoas going on

Everybody’s eyes were very scary, like they wanted to s my mother and father whole

A vile hatred bubbled forth inthere

At that time, I was still small I couldn’t understand why they were taken fro fashi+on, and I didn’t understand what my father and mother’s death would mean for me

I only trembled, trembled from the depth of my heart

In the crowd, I raisedin front of the guillotine

I sawsmiles

Their eyes narrowed, corners of their mouths upturned

But their broere lowered in gloom

In that kind of heart-breaking situation, smiles that accepted their fortune
