珈瓏攙扶著哈荻雅來到那棵城外的樹下85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuqkqLohadH
腳步蹣跚，表情疲憊，但外傷看來已無大礙85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGghULbzj7V
她不時望著沙漠中的另一端，似乎是在期盼什麼85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVpzCjjXRMd
但望了一陣子後，她別過頭去85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNo4MrTS8wz
85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeaHobG6U9w
衣冠塚前的花已經枯萎，她的手裡拿著另一把鮮花85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh2PpNnBePQ
基特見狀，將那束失去生命力的花拔起85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡseRCfeA5xN
再從珈瓏手中接過鮮花，插入瓶中85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7q5xTR86pk
哈荻雅不時望向奶奶，眼中思緒流轉85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVNcCYLCyXc
雖然想開口，但又怕奶奶情緒再次失控85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrSuhwFroYJ
85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0EC5KLna0a
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？」85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrBTJrb6mFL
哈荻雅有些訝異，開口道：「奶奶……妳的傷不疼了嗎？」85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡysZfgNQjB5
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。」85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCt3gkIqrtt
85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgZzLNeuOJ4
哈荻雅用力點頭，基特也停下手邊動作聽著85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6JVFmd4236
珈瓏奶奶凝望著那塊衣冠塚，思緒游離地說：85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAOQdpP21Kt
「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。」85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWX3DIDqMld
85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOfaXdsX85x
珈瓏這番話只是讓哈荻雅跟基特更加一頭霧水85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsu6PAkTsWP
她分明知道許多，也有滿腹的話想傾訴85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIff8INt4Q4
卻不像剛剛對那些道士說話時那麼直接了當85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAgdeMjDBmh
85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcuwyhf7heN
哈荻雅跟基特心想，看奶奶這副樣子85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkXbYpPWAGM
即使再問下去也得不到有用的答案85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEF2Q6Yku3y
還不如等月落族長回來，再要求對方「全盤托出」85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOhds3Mye34
85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLdCZMlGjFP
「珈瓏，這孩子就拜託妳了。」85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMoiOGALMbZ
85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAaAowRtNSQ
珈瓏憶起姊姊當年愁眉不展卻又毅然決然的神情85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDUZkDxihE0
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85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd5P13dNxIU
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85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaFRdIVOwj0
85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtPNTEB5glo
「……如果當時我再冷靜一點，對妳說我們一起想辦法85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyBw1NBKYV7
那妳是不是就不會去尋死，還能在這裡陪著這孩子長大？」85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOgiUH1FGcp
珈瓏垂眸，悄悄落下眼淚85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCFukaTqiEN
又趁孩子們沒發現時迅速抹去淚水85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8jth0Q3QC5
85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwLDJ94fHqL
這時，不遠處出現了一道飄搖的白色身影85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQkWhKK1zGo
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85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrdnwCuwmrs
紛紛朝那道人影奔去，接著三人會合，再一齊走向他們85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqeQyjXUWhM
株瑜欠身，而他身後的兩名隨從背上多了一個人85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjJxEOd9Klk
那是早已失去氣息的阿苳族長85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9fzOXvPqvb
85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPPeLxOUwYi
基特：「是族長！他怎麼會？！」85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPUNuy2tUZy
基特不可置信地看著株瑜一行人，不敢相信眼前所見85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN13zMbymdv
阿苳族長雖說不是月騎，但也不是普通人，具備一定身手85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5r2GQDITIh
而且，這道士竟然一點外傷都沒有85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA3CVpDu1Ue
85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgKtqFujPyz
株瑜：「是在下……疏忽，沒有保護好……族長，對不住。」85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8v528N0nPi
株瑜沒有流露太多情緒，只是簡單陳述85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwKbs07Zwab
哈荻雅原先擔心奶奶又要大吼大叫，正準備要做點什麼85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAKopDiaZ9J
卻發現奶奶只是安靜地盯著族長屍首85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8l8Y0tbF6a
85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiM8tYcrj1q
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。」85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx9PDxmsMye
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85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyx04aG3hp4
但等了老半天，卻只等到一具屍首，而且前因後果不明不白85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡabB7bVGGCr
正準備開口之際，哈荻雅已經率先發話85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRDXLztoE0E
85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZvbDFCTlOr
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85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkkqYS0pFHn
株瑜不想再多生事端，因此用手指了指阿苳身上的箭傷85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqqLnZtyH2b
眾人仔細一看，發生阿苳身上有許多大小不一的傷口85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbuwI5lcaEa
85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhTCdCjxjWk
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？！」85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS4DGXII0Wl
哈荻雅也點了點頭，兩個孩子就這樣死命盯著株瑜85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkgt6mYmrdr
看來是沒有打算要讓步的意思85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVK3PR9uKQx
85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd8xWaaLYBN
珈瓏：「夠了！退下！怎能對恩人如此無理？」85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJqQzVbdv2m
珈瓏厲聲喝斥，接著親自接過阿苳屍首，動作相當輕柔85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1JR8JmrgY2
基特與哈荻雅見狀，只好趕緊過來幫忙85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqnW2hUXCy6
85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡokL3LwIfrK
株瑜輕嘆一聲，他想，珈瓏奶奶之所以態度反覆85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOxqtjtnn9W
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85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfIFm5k4mjF
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85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRTt6GER3yJ
他雖同情，卻也無法加以干涉
85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHJIxEys6Th
接下來數日，珈瓏奶奶不斷對族人和兩個孩子洗腦85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDuT5bjFZ4s
說月落族長是被化為妖邪的他族部落所殺85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpxg54Hhfk1
還請求株瑜等人將擁有淨化之力的巨木林樹枝賜予月落85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3d7w4VC3uM
株瑜允諾，取身上樹枝交與他們85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4DKL90sIMO
叮囑他們要擺放在澄淨水源之處，方可常保村落安全85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0ao4JS55Z9
接著，三人旋即動身，朝下個目的地前進85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAWzDnG2K2x
85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtezhSEhxtw
哈荻雅與基特看著漸行漸遠的三人85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8GvKvenZke
眉頭深鎖到可以夾死一隻蒼蠅85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXhrFthS2Ya
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。」85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFIk0JK2Ved
基特：「但我總有一股預感，以後還會和他們見面。」85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe5f2hmrbac
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。」85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQv5HNNuw1w
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？」85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN4hHPHU7u6
85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9tzURoGJHG
哈荻雅歪頭，她覺得基特有時真愛裝老85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4c56bnTrhX
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85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPEwVfUfWvM
否則用那張充滿稚氣的臉說這些話，實在讓人笑掉大牙
