This is just a line of ugly Dragon Kingdom characters - [A gift for Lewis in the future].
However, to outsiders, things collected by evil people will be seen as curses even if they are blessings.
This flute, which was "a gift for Lewis in the future", finally came into his hands, although it was not in the form of a gift, but in the form of a tribute that was robbed after his house was ransacked.
Su Mingan hung the flute around his waist.
"I understand." He said, "We will discuss rewards and punishments after the war is over."
"Yes, yes, yes..." When they heard the word "reward", they smiled happily. Su Mingan turned around and walked towards the thick rain.
…
The dark clouds were heavy and the rain was pouring down continuously.
On the plain, a white-haired young man had been walking for a long time.
He was wearing a milk tea-colored scarf and a brown-black robe that blended in with the darkness in the rain. In order to experience the "pain brought by the cold," his skin had turned bluish-white and his fingers had cracked marks from frostbite.
He held a stack of music scores given to him by the frozen soldiers and walked to the area near Doomsday City, which was a peaceful town.
Since the regime change only occurred within Doomsday City, other areas were still peaceful. People in these areas were not even aware of the "fake city lord", let alone the fact that unrest had occurred in Doomsday City.
"...Hey, is there a war going on in Doomsday City? Look at the thick black smoke over there." A grocery store owner whispered to her customers.
"It's only been peaceful for a few years..." said the guest.
"Alas, the current city lord is also very good. With him around, we can wear clothes and not starve to death. Why should we fight?" The old man tapped his cane and sighed, "Who cares who the ruler is? As long as the people are alive, there will always be people who want to fight and ignore the lives of the people..."
Lin Guang silently watched the black smoke rising in the distance. Just as he was about to take a step, he kicked something soft.
“Woof, woof!”
The dog he kicked was a hungry puppy. Lin Guang squatted down and stared at the puppy for a while.
The puppy looked fierce and was wary of strangers.
Lin Guang rummaged in his arms and threw a few pieces of dried meat to the puppy with an expressionless face.
The puppy poked its head out tentatively, and Lin Guang watched it coldly as it finished eating. When it was about to jump around to thank Lin Guang, he suddenly kicked the puppy.
The kick was so hard that the puppy was kicked directly onto the distant earth wall.
"Woo... Woo..." It whimpered.
"When it's high, it looks grateful, but when it's low, it looks fierce. Even dogs are like this, so how can humans not follow the trend?" Lin Guang took out a handkerchief and carefully wiped his boots that were stained with dog hair:
"The jerky will be eaten up, and once there's no jerky left, all they want is your meat."
"No human will help you for free like I do. They are reluctant to even eat their own jerky. They will only treat you as a piece of spare meat and wait until the necessary moment to slaughter you."
"So... don't take humans lightly, understand? Lewis."
No one responded to him.
The puppy lay on the ground whimpering. The elderly women and men chatting nearby thought they had encountered a mental patient and immediately closed their doors. The sound of several rolling shutters falling to the ground could be heard. Only Lin Guang was left holding an umbrella, isolated in the heavy rain.
His eyes were frozen, like a zombie.
"Selling paper flowers...lilies, roses, tulips, baby's breath..."
At the end of the street, a blind old woman was standing in the heavy rain. Her skin was as dry as if it had been dried by the wind, and a bamboo basket full of paper was hung on her chest.
Lin Guang didn't move, and the old lady accidentally bumped into him.
Her silver hair drooped in the heavy rain like withered velvet flowers.
"...I think I bumped into a young man?" The blind old lady didn't know that she bumped into a demon from the Dawn War period. She looked up and smiled, "Young man, do you want to buy some paper flowers? Lilies, roses, tulips...I can fold them all."
There are almost no flowers in the ruins world, so even hand-made paper flowers have monetary value because people are too eager for them.
Lin Guang was stunned for a moment.
His fingers stroked the lily pattern on the gun at his waist.
He has actually learned a lot in the past forty years.
For example, communicating with people.
For example, smile naturally.
For example, a few new flute pieces.
For example, if you want something, you should exchange it for money instead of snatching it.
"Lily." Lin Guang said.
"Okay, okay..." The old lady took out a piece of paper, stretched her head forward as far as she could, and used all her strength to block the rain. Her fingers full of chilblains folded a few times, and a paper lily appeared in her hands.
"What should I exchange for it?" Lin Guang said.
"Forget it, this paper has been wet by the rain, I'll give it to you..." The old lady smiled.
"I'll exchange it for an umbrella. I want your flowers to not get wet by any rain." Lin Guang said.
He can't steal other people's things.
His friends hated this behavior.
"Young man..." The old lady wanted to refuse.
"Take it! Or I'll kill you!" Lin Guang's eyes were filled with hostility, and his pupils were filled with sinister intent. He coldly grabbed the old lady's hand. It was clearly a gift, but he made it look like she was snatching it.
He did learn a lot.
For example, cherish some things that are hard to find in the ruins world, such as flowers.
"But, young man, what are you going to do..." The old lady held the umbrella, feeling a little at a loss.
"I still have an umbrella." Lin Guang didn't want to be bothered by her.
For example, learn to use lies.
He turned around and walked towards the hazy rain. The rainstorm soaked his clothes in an instant, like a black crow in the rain. The old lady held the solid umbrella handle, stopped for a moment, and suddenly said loudly:
"——young man, you have a good heart, you are a good man!"
"Good people will be rewarded, and you will definitely be happy! I wish you good fortune as vast as the East Sea, and a long life!"
“…”
Lin Guang's eyes trembled.
Good person?
happiness?
These positive words have never been associated with him.
From the moment he could remember, he would only face the cold eyes and hatred of humans. If he were allowed to feel warmth, he would even get burned.
In the distance, the bell tower of Doomsday City rang again and again, as if foreshadowing the end of fate.
He looked at the paper flower in his hand, and with the light of the sun, it turned into a real flower.
He didn't look back and calmly stepped into the land of Doomsday City.
