珈瓏攙扶著哈荻雅來到那棵城外的樹下80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx7WSd4lA1A
腳步蹣跚，表情疲憊，但外傷看來已無大礙80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoWGpCBwfs5
她不時望著沙漠中的另一端，似乎是在期盼什麼80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE7cuyryzoK
但望了一陣子後，她別過頭去80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjClqQH4zmF
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9Lpq3m5OSZ
衣冠塚前的花已經枯萎，她的手裡拿著另一把鮮花80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyHfQ85DzV1
基特見狀，將那束失去生命力的花拔起80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBZZEMOK1D2
再從珈瓏手中接過鮮花，插入瓶中80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt0LHvKaKFv
哈荻雅不時望向奶奶，眼中思緒流轉80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrIfheZktxV
雖然想開口，但又怕奶奶情緒再次失控80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0lWkiV3aoU
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLSUEDDjiCP
珈瓏：「問吧，想問什麼就問。妳這孩子，什麼時候也學會拐彎抹角了？」80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlqdBSloQll
哈荻雅有些訝異，開口道：「奶奶……妳的傷不疼了嗎？」80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTzfE47jCnx
珈瓏：「臭丫頭，妳分明不是想問這個，別想學那些文士繞著彎說話，妳才不是那塊料。奶奶知道，妳想知道銀霄是誰，也想知道關於洞窟裡畫像的事。」80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr4VTsb3Yz1
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfaSUYz8XDR
哈荻雅用力點頭，基特也停下手邊動作聽著80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz7vuBvMgCj
珈瓏奶奶凝望著那塊衣冠塚，思緒游離地說：80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5AH1VkpfkN
「銀霄……他是全月落族的英雄，也是族人避而不談的慘劇……那洞窟畫像，想必巨木林中人比我清楚不知多少倍。妳還是去問他們吧。」80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDo3TFvheaz
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ922j9a7fQT
珈瓏這番話只是讓哈荻雅跟基特更加一頭霧水80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIjsrOHiWVD
她分明知道許多，也有滿腹的話想傾訴80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGRzJVuu9TL
卻不像剛剛對那些道士說話時那麼直接了當80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrzFV2Tk3AM
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡShw3aPcQwG
哈荻雅跟基特心想，看奶奶這副樣子80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvNlhazBioY
即使再問下去也得不到有用的答案80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYYEBr6MP03
還不如等月落族長回來，再要求對方「全盤托出」80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0mo8d63Dp1
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdwlo0X3vBW
「珈瓏，這孩子就拜託妳了。」80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡte8SFt15vu
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzXS4VaOffn
珈瓏憶起姊姊當年愁眉不展卻又毅然決然的神情80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyn0D32CEgb
那時，她才剛得知姊夫被族人殺害的消息，心中猶如晴天霹靂80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAcAmzZWbqN
過沒幾天，珈瑤便說自己有事要離開，將還在襁褓中的哈荻雅交付給她80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFazeUQjSMg
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdbchV36pDv
「……如果當時我再冷靜一點，對妳說我們一起想辦法80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡERxfJbqDej
那妳是不是就不會去尋死，還能在這裡陪著這孩子長大？」80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl07XUAe77M
珈瓏垂眸，悄悄落下眼淚80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwoTUA5BUys
又趁孩子們沒發現時迅速抹去淚水80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG1k0Uwx916
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ31UHc2Xugh
這時，不遠處出現了一道飄搖的白色身影80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN8Qr0ZFb0C
原本待在城中的另外兩名巨木林中人不知何時突然出現在他們身邊80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYHcwInKApr
紛紛朝那道人影奔去，接著三人會合，再一齊走向他們80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIyZz3VsI55
株瑜欠身，而他身後的兩名隨從背上多了一個人80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCQxRitfP1g
那是早已失去氣息的阿苳族長80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYqnqKcCFqk
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtWdrOSFInI
基特：「是族長！他怎麼會？！」80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO1KRykFuCr
基特不可置信地看著株瑜一行人，不敢相信眼前所見80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtCJIYpwv98
阿苳族長雖說不是月騎，但也不是普通人，具備一定身手80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhDphM6j12P
而且，這道士竟然一點外傷都沒有80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ63s7KKX2y6
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkkL7xacOty
株瑜：「是在下……疏忽，沒有保護好……族長，對不住。」80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGedQQeOPuX
株瑜沒有流露太多情緒，只是簡單陳述80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLGxyVUechm
哈荻雅原先擔心奶奶又要大吼大叫，正準備要做點什麼80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyEX5ALz9EI
卻發現奶奶只是安靜地盯著族長屍首80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSQg4tyft9B
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMzgO10hp3a
珈瓏：「多謝高人……還勞煩您還將阿苳的屍首帶回來。基特，接過屍首吧。」80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXz8wzcTXem
基特愣了一下，他跟哈荻雅心中的滿腹疑問還等著族長來解80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVcN24EIYrb
但等了老半天，卻只等到一具屍首，而且前因後果不明不白80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6tdrzcvXGC
正準備開口之際，哈荻雅已經率先發話80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaLobbaTGwV
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnMmEM4uewj
哈荻雅：「你們，好歹交代一下發生了什麼事吧。好端端一個人出去，怎麼就躺著回來了？」她壓抑著心中的憤怒與不解，努力平靜地說著80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6zffJLJ5q7
株瑜不想再多生事端，因此用手指了指阿苳身上的箭傷80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhCpnl0qbhF
眾人仔細一看，發生阿苳身上有許多大小不一的傷口80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7WLRia0yh7
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxUATmG5fjZ
基特：「這是……箭傷，你的意思是，族長是被那偷襲珈瓏奶奶的賊人部落所殺？但這太奇怪了！這些傷口就像是……族長完全沒有加以閃躲，正面接受賊人攻擊所致，族長不會這樣做的！他究竟出了什麼事？！」80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmOzUPpvAgZ
哈荻雅也點了點頭，兩個孩子就這樣死命盯著株瑜80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMr4Oj1WTbj
看來是沒有打算要讓步的意思80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5w2LoXuz0I
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaZl2c0sGtR
珈瓏：「夠了！退下！怎能對恩人如此無理？」80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmTDpwKdxmw
珈瓏厲聲喝斥，接著親自接過阿苳屍首，動作相當輕柔80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQgdkoMpC6E
基特與哈荻雅見狀，只好趕緊過來幫忙80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0NqeMDpRUL
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ1izWsP7Wn
株瑜輕嘆一聲，他想，珈瓏奶奶之所以態度反覆80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvC61bIrio0
想必也與那對墜河男女有關，否則這一連串事情便說不過去80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEKH4J6lmUu
但想當然，人世間不乏故事，就如同他腦海中不時浮現的聲音與畫面80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHh4eupNhHY
他雖同情，卻也無法加以干涉
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡijxB0XDEGy
接下來數日，珈瓏奶奶不斷對族人和兩個孩子洗腦80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡipEVMMQh11
說月落族長是被化為妖邪的他族部落所殺80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhiSRryWvPb
還請求株瑜等人將擁有淨化之力的巨木林樹枝賜予月落80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNxJeBBw4wj
株瑜允諾，取身上樹枝交與他們80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcRluIi7jq5
叮囑他們要擺放在澄淨水源之處，方可常保村落安全80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFKYfhyjmUs
接著，三人旋即動身，朝下個目的地前進80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA5Oq6AAMPa
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT4a9MTTPFd
哈荻雅與基特看著漸行漸遠的三人80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnFB77Wldov
眉頭深鎖到可以夾死一隻蒼蠅80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd0wvqgwWX1
哈荻雅：「就算現在沒弄懂，將來也必須弄懂。唉，還是先把月騎考試通過再說。但這幾天真是莫名其妙了，奶奶也太反常了。」80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLAGomtvvW6
基特：「但我總有一股預感，以後還會和他們見面。」80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD26EvANYL4
哈荻雅：「怎麼見面？我們跟烏啼又不來往，連接進驛站都困難重重。」80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmRsURDjU2K
基特：「哈，我也不知道。但梵宇在上，誰又知道未來會發生什麼事？」80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrgE0hPuPjC
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaLlMDSwwLx
哈荻雅歪頭，她覺得基特有時真愛裝老80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8t2QO3LWeN
在他要說這種人生哲言之前，真應該先去弄些鬍鬚貼在臉上80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQtFmSxK4zE
否則用那張充滿稚氣的臉說這些話，實在讓人笑掉大牙
