Chapter 295: The Back of the Far Away

"You can come out for activities today."

The door that was closed in the past opened again, and the dazzling light made it difficult for Irene to open her eyes, and soon she heard a familiar voice, which was her brother's words.

After getting used to it a little, Irene hugged the doll and slowly walked out of the hut that she had stayed in for a long time, and came to the outside world.

The hallway was lit with bright lights, and the smell of burning whale oil mixed with spices filled the air, so familiar, yet slightly disgusting.

Walking behind her brother step by step, Irene listened to him tell about the recent events.

"The Tixiu family replied. They said they would consider holding a wedding in the near future, but if it's a scale, you shouldn't expect too much."

"It is estimated that only a small number of guests will be invited to this wedding. Who has damaged your reputation, and Palos is not a valued member of the Tixiu family now."

"That's fine." Irene replied in a low voice, and she didn't want too many people to watch the ceremony.

"Is Palos okay? His illness..." At this time, Irene became worried again.

"When I went to visit the Tixiu family, I visited Palos." The elder brother's voice was slightly lower.

"His state is very bad, and according to the family's practice, he will move out after he gets married. It is estimated that the Tixiu family also wants to get rid of this burden."

"It's not 30 years ago. At that time, the head of the Tixiu family was still Lord Lloyd. He liked Palos very much and was also Palos' uncle."

Now the patriarch has been replaced, and because of his illness and his stagnant strength, Palos has long been reduced to a marginal figure in the family.

"If you get married, it will be difficult." After speaking, Irene could still hear a faint sigh from the front.

"If it's Palos, I don't regret it." Erin said softly.

"Silly sister, the lifespan of elves is not like that of human beings. The time you will face in the future is much longer than now. Some things, even if you don't regret it now, will slowly change in the future."

Then the two gradually became silent, and they continued to walk in the corridor like this, passing through the silent rooms, and then gradually arrived at the hall in the middle.

Because it is now the movie season, many elves are sleeping, or they are studying personal affairs in their residences, and rarely go out for activities.

"Father."

After arriving in the hall, the brother and sister saw the figure standing still in the hall for a long time, stopped and shouted with their heads lowered.

"You are here." Count Sileni looked like a human in his 40s, with short hair like boulders, and a golden noble ring on his forehead, standing quietly with his back to the two.

In front of him is a wide light blue wall, in which there are hanging portrait frames of different sizes, among them there are elves with ice blue hair, some of them are smiling, some are serious, some are solemn, Look ahead.

These are the ancestors of the Sileni family, and several of them have even experienced the protracted wars of the First Era.

"How many years has Irene left the family?" After a long silence in the hall, the man suddenly spoke.

"Twenty-eight years, father." Irene lowered her head and replied.

"Even if our elves live three times as long as humans, that's a long number." He sighed.

"Do you still remember those faces in the family, such as your sister Stacy, Connie Lou, and several younger brothers, Arlan, Lu Pao..."

"Uh, there are still some images." Irene lowered her head.

"But they are completely different from more than 20 years ago. Some of them are even married and have their own families."

"Family gradually leaves you, familiar people gradually become unfamiliar, you are alone, you think you have gained supreme freedom, but you also become extremely lonely."

"Even if we meet again now, the lost time can't be made up. Maybe they will still call you sister respectfully, but under their eyes, they are no longer as kind and fiery as they used to be, like watching distant and unrelated things. "

"Maybe, you will say that I have met a lot of friends outside, and I also have a trustworthy brother."

"But even the best friends and brothers will gradually have their own lovers and children in the future. They will love each other even more, and you will always be temporary passers-by."

"Even if the conversation is very enjoyable during the day, when you come home at night, you still have to face the cold candlelight and the bedside. Whenever you are sick at night, when you are very fragile and weak, you stretch out your hand and can't catch anything that can be lifted up. Your arms can only be faced with loneliness, the sleepiness and powerlessness that drown yourself like a tide."

"Weeping and wailing, no one else will hear, tears and sorrow, no one will wipe away, and finally fall into the bottom of the dark and lightless abyss, ushering in a death that destroys everything."

"The flowers that leave the garden are more likely to die and wither. They think they have cut off everything, but they no longer have any support for themselves, and they can only fall weakly."

"When I was very young, I visited a Suoju aunt with my elders. In fact, she was not very old, and she could vaguely see the beauty of the past from her face, but when she sat on the cold and silent hospital bed, And so haggard and old, there is no life in sight."

"Irene, I don't want you to be like that, do you understand what I mean?"

"I understand, Father." Irene took a deep breath and nodded.

"Okay, you can go back to your residence first. The room has been cleaned these days, and it's the same as before you left."

"In the days to come, people will come one after another, and they will

You cut your dress, teach you some etiquette, tell you some things to look out for, and prepare for the wedding. "

"During this period, you can write letters to Palos, of course these letters are likely to be checked by outsiders, but it doesn't matter, you just need to convey the news that you have come back, to reassure Palos and make him a little stronger A little bit, get through this tough time."

"I don't know how to cure the withered moon disease, but the reason why Palos got sick must have something to do with your departure. After you left, he became more lonely and desolate, and he was a lot sadder."

"If your coming back will make him better, then try your best, not just for him, but for yourself."

"I think even I can see that apart from him, you don't want to marry anyone else anymore, and his passing will probably cut off your many thoughts and hopes."

"This is the last chance, if it's too late."

After speaking, Count Sileni sighed heavily, and then waved his hand.

"Let's be here today, I'm tired too."

"Yes, my father."

The two walked out of the hall, the door slowly closed again, and the familiar chandelier still exuded an orange-yellow halo, illuminating the world of Yongye.

It's just that now, there is no longer the lively, laughter and laughter that it used to be in childhood.
