珈瓏攙扶著哈荻雅來到那棵城外的樹下73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxMS0TV3O6X
腳步蹣跚，表情疲憊，但外傷看來已無大礙73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiAcZHA14ly
她不時望著沙漠中的另一端，似乎是在期盼什麼73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBqvfqvMTM1
但望了一陣子後，她別過頭去73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnn2xdDwQJ5
73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpWHsTUVahU
衣冠塚前的花已經枯萎，她的手裡拿著另一把鮮花73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj3rV00884X
基特見狀，將那束失去生命力的花拔起73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa6c0dFnwS8
再從珈瓏手中接過鮮花，插入瓶中73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5OIx7c63sX
哈荻雅不時望向奶奶，眼中思緒流轉73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwr2iPbFT82
雖然想開口，但又怕奶奶情緒再次失控73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHKWPqxgIRb
73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRhIfFmMqPd
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？」73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVKyuAj8tVY
哈荻雅有些訝異，開口道：「奶奶……妳的傷不疼了嗎？」73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcYdUKUOcpa
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。」73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJVOWp3rQxV
73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOn77QBXoYF
哈荻雅用力點頭，基特也停下手邊動作聽著73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxudsJIAGhL
珈瓏奶奶凝望著那塊衣冠塚，思緒游離地說：73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMaHQbUSq6i
「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。」73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1aDejFcrhX
73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKcrPYwL3IG
珈瓏這番話只是讓哈荻雅跟基特更加一頭霧水73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡclaTyrcSTh
她分明知道許多，也有滿腹的話想傾訴73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQlQxRi9hha
卻不像剛剛對那些道士說話時那麼直接了當73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDURat8YDLd
73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8ufHOQ8c3r
哈荻雅跟基特心想，看奶奶這副樣子73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHatSNSe7oV
即使再問下去也得不到有用的答案73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX4xKNbeMfT
還不如等月落族長回來，再要求對方「全盤托出」73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrkixzb5prH
73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGDi8hqOseB
「珈瓏，這孩子就拜託妳了。」73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHFdbU164ns
73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡma52ZB6q0N
珈瓏憶起姊姊當年愁眉不展卻又毅然決然的神情73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCGd0WE59YI
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73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ47RYEG6poY
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73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaVAkH6oEne
73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3drpTp5Mr7
「……如果當時我再冷靜一點，對妳說我們一起想辦法73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkFG8ch1rgo
那妳是不是就不會去尋死，還能在這裡陪著這孩子長大？」73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡee0hq1Vxnf
珈瓏垂眸，悄悄落下眼淚73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc2g3Nh3V8c
又趁孩子們沒發現時迅速抹去淚水73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8KuWU39lKi
73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡekOGDg2zN7
這時，不遠處出現了一道飄搖的白色身影73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD5BHQr92Z2
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73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnRLoVCInOH
紛紛朝那道人影奔去，接著三人會合，再一齊走向他們73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQz8vBT51bq
株瑜欠身，而他身後的兩名隨從背上多了一個人73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI4yJ3P0Dg5
那是早已失去氣息的阿苳族長73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeEWSKhhW0F
73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡky8MFMpRhA
基特：「是族長！他怎麼會？！」73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTVqZ8jaKut
基特不可置信地看著株瑜一行人，不敢相信眼前所見73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFlR6o5nk3t
阿苳族長雖說不是月騎，但也不是普通人，具備一定身手73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3YfGqnIgI5
而且，這道士竟然一點外傷都沒有73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ90LYWV4J1l
73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGH9aWWDPar
株瑜：「是在下……疏忽，沒有保護好……族長，對不住。」73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWGeMnYkjBq
株瑜沒有流露太多情緒，只是簡單陳述73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt5WiIGyS6E
哈荻雅原先擔心奶奶又要大吼大叫，正準備要做點什麼73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8DSb1HckSi
卻發現奶奶只是安靜地盯著族長屍首73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVYlN2wBeT1
73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWkGxq9Q929
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。」73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEayOoIKnxG
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73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI724DuAQid
但等了老半天，卻只等到一具屍首，而且前因後果不明不白73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtMtangpDo2
正準備開口之際，哈荻雅已經率先發話73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLsXKoYRazH
73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0Fjg9rPCsg
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73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5zMtOp0L1c
株瑜不想再多生事端，因此用手指了指阿苳身上的箭傷73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDMsuPRbuSJ
眾人仔細一看，發生阿苳身上有許多大小不一的傷口73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGwEwzMJcUU
73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdkJud3dH1p
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？！」73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGv3uqyTGby
哈荻雅也點了點頭，兩個孩子就這樣死命盯著株瑜73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUTXivBH4iq
看來是沒有打算要讓步的意思73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMgFY2jvTQW
73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZMtRvxB3d8
珈瓏：「夠了！退下！怎能對恩人如此無理？」73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHpcrpv5OLV
珈瓏厲聲喝斥，接著親自接過阿苳屍首，動作相當輕柔73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡViaTvPinLn
基特與哈荻雅見狀，只好趕緊過來幫忙73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJtoNLYE4oq
73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPdvcYXDWwk
株瑜輕嘆一聲，他想，珈瓏奶奶之所以態度反覆73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGpZy1ioG6Y
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73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtq4ns7KVqr
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73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuFbRAAdQ2R
他雖同情，卻也無法加以干涉
73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1hCGJaSJ4N
接下來數日，珈瓏奶奶不斷對族人和兩個孩子洗腦73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjM9scZemMA
說月落族長是被化為妖邪的他族部落所殺73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdOz4f7KAHY
還請求株瑜等人將擁有淨化之力的巨木林樹枝賜予月落73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPk0yD3Bq1r
株瑜允諾，取身上樹枝交與他們73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxO35mXRyvB
叮囑他們要擺放在澄淨水源之處，方可常保村落安全73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNA9hCRu0Eb
接著，三人旋即動身，朝下個目的地前進73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡskn8ezDZSL
73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb39wRIz1BA
哈荻雅與基特看著漸行漸遠的三人73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTnfJlKY7EI
眉頭深鎖到可以夾死一隻蒼蠅73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDhBYSuRx2m
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。」73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEQfcgpfj2p
基特：「但我總有一股預感，以後還會和他們見面。」73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJG4Wo3Ao7M
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。」73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqr49MoyeHu
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？」73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm49WAxg87M
73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP5XK6DHacN
哈荻雅歪頭，她覺得基特有時真愛裝老73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXxDG2a5D4J
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73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡizkhSxw9Tg
否則用那張充滿稚氣的臉說這些話，實在讓人笑掉大牙
