珈瓏攙扶著哈荻雅來到那棵城外的樹下69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsQSZ39IFDk
腳步蹣跚，表情疲憊，但外傷看來已無大礙69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKREfUUhe8I
她不時望著沙漠中的另一端，似乎是在期盼什麼69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5u79veuApo
但望了一陣子後，她別過頭去69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdRUNVHX3oR
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXeTYo9qZAt
衣冠塚前的花已經枯萎，她的手裡拿著另一把鮮花69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUFXKzywGFk
基特見狀，將那束失去生命力的花拔起69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk8sNTom0Sl
再從珈瓏手中接過鮮花，插入瓶中69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQID8J7RhcQ
哈荻雅不時望向奶奶，眼中思緒流轉69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRIuBzcO4qn
雖然想開口，但又怕奶奶情緒再次失控69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8aEshWEC2u
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtbds3rDxaA
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？」69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvW73wPeSzf
哈荻雅有些訝異，開口道：「奶奶……妳的傷不疼了嗎？」69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO5AWxtxBkk
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。」69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR08awwpXsh
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJOFt21aclK
哈荻雅用力點頭，基特也停下手邊動作聽著69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHyF2ryORQH
珈瓏奶奶凝望著那塊衣冠塚，思緒游離地說：69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXprUJbtnYd
「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。」69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwGZUXPCfl6
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO8plW2oFbH
珈瓏這番話只是讓哈荻雅跟基特更加一頭霧水69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwvK3ZuE3bm
她分明知道許多，也有滿腹的話想傾訴69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡinXpSORxZ1
卻不像剛剛對那些道士說話時那麼直接了當69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ24RbhgKpWJ
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ8KARyr5Vo
哈荻雅跟基特心想，看奶奶這副樣子69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBI8GKsd0O8
即使再問下去也得不到有用的答案69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8XHKeZWcN3
還不如等月落族長回來，再要求對方「全盤托出」69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡakquVqoKIO
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbGGsSl8vy4
「珈瓏，這孩子就拜託妳了。」69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3EsXJkkU7H
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSpsbUrRmH4
珈瓏憶起姊姊當年愁眉不展卻又毅然決然的神情69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLLL3HVnGXm
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69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZw0am3tK5G
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69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0Q6wPgcdbz
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpWdlFmayWh
「……如果當時我再冷靜一點，對妳說我們一起想辦法69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy0j00qRs5P
那妳是不是就不會去尋死，還能在這裡陪著這孩子長大？」69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwAUQLaKjhO
珈瓏垂眸，悄悄落下眼淚69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGHUpxqiQDi
又趁孩子們沒發現時迅速抹去淚水69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRcGaXaX3bH
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoNqte8SCEh
這時，不遠處出現了一道飄搖的白色身影69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlIW0Y2EJj7
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69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXWckby3rBK
紛紛朝那道人影奔去，接著三人會合，再一齊走向他們69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcPbggIwTwb
株瑜欠身，而他身後的兩名隨從背上多了一個人69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuPipEAorKy
那是早已失去氣息的阿苳族長69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnp9vUhBYQF
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL6nI5k49OT
基特：「是族長！他怎麼會？！」69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLjmeKXsg3U
基特不可置信地看著株瑜一行人，不敢相信眼前所見69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8sNobk6kLp
阿苳族長雖說不是月騎，但也不是普通人，具備一定身手69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmpKTd2UMFl
而且，這道士竟然一點外傷都沒有69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm2mzOt2s4c
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGS6ZV52qfl
株瑜：「是在下……疏忽，沒有保護好……族長，對不住。」69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzdWN7il91M
株瑜沒有流露太多情緒，只是簡單陳述69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnDKMqgW2rH
哈荻雅原先擔心奶奶又要大吼大叫，正準備要做點什麼69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIncYuEXmyp
卻發現奶奶只是安靜地盯著族長屍首69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvq4LUVf2UF
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoH97kIeKkI
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。」69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVEfNBktxge
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69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQX5ikhKgnG
但等了老半天，卻只等到一具屍首，而且前因後果不明不白69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTESMRVnakd
正準備開口之際，哈荻雅已經率先發話69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4aBkcTJk6D
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaw4ou7f6np
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69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOHDRvrOZsc
株瑜不想再多生事端，因此用手指了指阿苳身上的箭傷69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkXauwLIyLj
眾人仔細一看，發生阿苳身上有許多大小不一的傷口69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIl8SDzR6T4
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4kcMEaTLKz
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？！」69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuwF6tk7A2U
哈荻雅也點了點頭，兩個孩子就這樣死命盯著株瑜69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwOiTUwx7Rd
看來是沒有打算要讓步的意思69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsdo2b176sq
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFudEqjekQu
珈瓏：「夠了！退下！怎能對恩人如此無理？」69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpDLoD0M0zi
珈瓏厲聲喝斥，接著親自接過阿苳屍首，動作相當輕柔69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmWvd9KiZsb
基特與哈荻雅見狀，只好趕緊過來幫忙69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMErGQTZ92G
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnCCsIREKOs
株瑜輕嘆一聲，他想，珈瓏奶奶之所以態度反覆69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWOYOX7ekgP
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69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNUxkRe4Af9
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69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡabbiV5XLih
他雖同情，卻也無法加以干涉
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNsd38Mcvg4
接下來數日，珈瓏奶奶不斷對族人和兩個孩子洗腦69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDHHB13XqjK
說月落族長是被化為妖邪的他族部落所殺69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr2zPAUEe0R
還請求株瑜等人將擁有淨化之力的巨木林樹枝賜予月落69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3GtNyLfSjO
株瑜允諾，取身上樹枝交與他們69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv5UkwzQanK
叮囑他們要擺放在澄淨水源之處，方可常保村落安全69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEH41D2i4zR
接著，三人旋即動身，朝下個目的地前進69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7HYI4qD4os
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcIN5ZsuAUT
哈荻雅與基特看著漸行漸遠的三人69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzNzZtULwHu
眉頭深鎖到可以夾死一隻蒼蠅69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfsnf6VquDp
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。」69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsiTUn5G3AY
基特：「但我總有一股預感，以後還會和他們見面。」69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡepnUzGnrPp
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。」69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIdNuNqdIUF
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？」69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVHQMIQ7UwA
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡseCF9o0xiY
哈荻雅歪頭，她覺得基特有時真愛裝老69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGt5mpuVryD
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69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9MT43IvIJb
否則用那張充滿稚氣的臉說這些話，實在讓人笑掉大牙
