Chapter 239: The Curtain
"I think that human being is just seriously ill...there will be a doctor to treat him."
Priest Olanka saw the scene of 'Professor Parker' falling to the ground in the movie, and whispered to Elder Sephaen beside him.
"I also...hope so," said Elder Cefarn.
It may be an illusion, but the priest of Olanka actually heard a tremor in the voice of the oldest Blackwood elf elder...
Elder Sefarn is afraid of something!
And the priest of Olanka could guess what the elf elder was afraid of...that is, he was afraid of the next development of this movie.
The development of "Xiaoba's master, Professor Parker, ushered in death".
Priest Olanka began to pray to the holy tree Narushi unknowingly, and she was praying that the professor Parker in the movie was safe.
Praying for a fictional character in a movie?
When Priest Olanka came back to his senses, he realized that his behavior was very childish.
But Priest Olanka found that she was not the only one, and the other elf priests around her had long since lost their previous smiles, and instead became very serious.
"Mr. Qiao Xiu...that professor is just sick, right? Xiao Ba can wait for his master to come back after a while..."
Priest Olanka also heard the whispers between Jialuoli and Joshua, but Joshua didn't give Jialuoli a spoiler, which made the flower of Faluoxi wait anxiously for the next development.
She could no longer hear any yawns in the auditorium, and even the sparse discussions disappeared.
It seems that everyone is praying for Xiaoba's owner, Parker, and praying that he can return to Xiaoba safely.
But the subsequent development of the movie was the last thing Priest Olanka and Elder Sephaen wanted to see.
That day, Professor Parker did not appear at the gate of the station as usual, and went home with Xiao Ba who had been waiting for him.
It wasn't until late at night that the professor's son-in-law came to pick up Xiao Ba in a carriage.
When the camera turned directly to Professor Parker's funeral, it seemed to tell all the audience the fact that Xiaoba's owner had passed away.
"As expected, human life is short, but I have not mourned the death of a human for a long time."
Elder Sefarn, who was sitting by the side, clenched his fists and released them, as if he had accepted the reality.
"This story... should end too." Priest Olanka murmured softly.
After the death of Xiaoba's owner, Parker, Xiaoba was adopted by Parker's son-in-law to live in another family, and Xiaoba has another happy home.
This is also a happy ending.
But the development of the movie once again exceeded the expectations of the priest of Olanka. In the movie, Xiaoba suddenly rushed out of his son-in-law's house and ran into the street...
"Xiaoba...where are you going?"
At this moment, Priest Olanka heard Jialuoli's low voice of inquiry, which was already crying.
Elder Sephaen replaced Priest Olanka and gave Jia Luoli an answer...
"I think for this pastoral hound named 'Xiaoba', there will always be only one destination in its life..."
When Elder Sefarn said these words, his voice sounded very low, as if he was suppressing some kind of emotion.
Priest Olanka turned her head in amazement to look at the elder elf elder beside her. Relying on the excellent night vision of the Blackwood elf, she actually saw some crystal liquid overflowing from the corner of Elder Sephaen's eyes, which were tears...
When the Blackwood Forest was burned, Elder Sephaen never shed a single tear.
Priest Olanka wanted to remind the elf elders around him that this was just a story fabricated by humans!
But when she saw Xiaoba running back to the original station along the snow-covered road, sitting on the flower bed and quietly watching the people coming and going at the station, Priest Olanka felt choked up. in her throat.
Maybe this is the scary part of the movie. Priest Olanka kept reminding himself that the pictures in the movie were all fake.
She still couldn't restrain the impulse in her heart, and wanted to go to Kelia Station to tell Xiao Ba, "The master you are waiting for will never come back again."
But someone told Xiao Ba this sad fact in the movie, but Xiao Ba still chose to sit in front of the platform and wait quietly.
"I bet this field hound can only last two days, that person can abduct it with a sausage." Someone suddenly whispered below.
Although Priest Olanka hated humans using their own values to measure the loyalty of an animal, at this time Priest Olanka hoped that someone could abduct Xiao Ba with a sausage.
The time in the movie is in winter, and there is light snow in the sky. Xiao Ba is lying on the flower bed covered with fine snow, and his lonely expression is enough to make many people feel pity.
Don't wait any longer, he won't be coming back.
Priest Olanka seemed to hear the inner cries of the people around her, or her own inner cries.
It is a pity that Xiaoba was not abducted by a sausage, and no one came to adopt him again. Since then, this pastoral hound has been sitting on the flower bed of the post station waiting for its owner to return.
"The trees... are dying, and time is passing," said Elder Sepharn suddenly.
The tree behind Xiaoba gradually withered, and then new shoots grew. The movie tells the audience that time is passing by in this way.
The screen of the final movie fades to pitch black.
"Is it finally over...?"
Priest Olanka leaned back on the chair behind her. She didn't dare to guess what would happen next. The end of the movie would leave her with a suspense.
She stubbornly believed that Xiao Ba, the pastoral hound, would be adopted by a kind person, but Priest Olanka's expectations fell through again.
The screen lit up again, and it was still the same town. Professor Parker's wife came to the town in a carriage. From her perspective... Priest Olanka knew that ten years had passed.
In the movie screen, when Professor Parker's wife walked towards the station again, she saw a familiar figure.
"Impossible..." Someone murmured softly.
But the fact is already in front of my eyes, ten years ago, the pastoral hound named Xiaoba...is still sitting on the flower bed quietly waiting for its owner.
Time has left too many traces on its body, its hair is no longer shiny, it has been stained with many stains, and its expression has become a lot haggard.
"Maybe there will be a miracle in the end?" Olanka said softly.
There is magic in this world that can bring the dead back to life again. Apart from the disgusting undead magic, there are also some extremely rare miracles.
The story also came to the end. In the snowy night, Xiao Ba staggered to the flower bed in front of the post station. He didn't even have the strength to sit up, so he could only lie on the flower bed and narrow his eyes.
Maybe it's too tired.
The memory of it being with its owner in the past day and night kept flashing back in its mind. When it opened its eyes again, a miracle really happened!
Its owner, Professor Parker, walked out of the station slowly, and called out its name with a smile, and Xiao Ba jumped on it excitedly... just like before.
"Elder Cephaen, is this Xiaoba's dream? Or is it reality..." Jialuoli covered her mouth, her eye circles were completely red, and her crying sounded choked, and she couldn't even breathe Come.
"This... should be a dream..."
"It's a miracle!"
Priest Olanka suddenly interrupted Elder Sephaen's words, which made Elder Sephaen turn his head in surprise. He found that the elderly priestess had a terrible persistence on his face, as if Elder Sephaen Saying 'no' can have dire consequences.
"That pastoral hound must have waited for its owner." Priest Olanka said.
