Chapter 62 Colorful Candy Paper
The black-haired girl sat under the tree and listened to the words blankly.
Like a misty forest, blown away by the clear wind, the warm and dry sunlight shines on the branches and leaves.
She can find many examples to refute, such as the difficulty of life, the change of heart and so on. But the warm sunshine that bloomed in Sophie's words gave her no idea of resistance.
It would be great if everyone could do this.
Looking at Jena who was suddenly silent, Sophie was a little embarrassed, thinking that her words were too heavy for the girl to accept. After all, she was still a wounded person. Maybe this idea came from her own experience and so on.
Looking left and right, she opened the small leather bag around her waist and found a candy.
The pure white candy paper was tied into a small bow. After opening, a small white square appeared in it, and the faint milky fragrance wafted out.
Sophie placed the candy in the palm of the black short-haired girl's hand.
"Well, don't cry, just eat another one. There are really uncomfortable things in life. Just forget about eating something sweet."
"How can you forget."
Jena took the candy and wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes with the back of her hand. The depression and discomfort of these days finally broke out.
The chaos in her hometown, the uncertain future of her father, and the confusion of her own future path hang in her heart like an invisible and heavy lock, making it difficult for her to be happy.
"Don't cry, don't cry." Sophie patted Jenna on the back and sat with her.
"Yeah." Jena replied in a low voice, blinking her reddish eyes hard.
"Okay." After a while, her emotions stabilized before she spoke again.
Seeing this scene, Sophie secretly exhaled a small breath and relaxed.
"The candy will melt after a long time, so eat it first."
Jenna nodded slightly and put the milk fudge in her mouth, the rich sweetness reappeared in her mind.
She felt the feeling of happiness carefully, and then opened the candy paper in her hand. A clear pattern was printed on the off-white candy paper. It was a golden apple like the setting sun, and below the apple were three small translucent squares whose colors were red, blue, and green.
Even an ordinary piece of candy paper has a delicate feel.
She slowly smoothed the folds on it with her fingers, feeling the candy wrapper that still had the scent.
"Do you like it? I have several kinds in my collection that I can give you as a souvenir." Sophie's familiar voice sounded in Jenna's ear, and the feeling of exhaling made her ears a little itchy.
Jenna wanted it a little, but was a little embarrassed. She felt that she had received a lot of favors from others in vain, and she also asked others to ask for it.
"Wait a mininute."
Sophie's warm body suddenly stood up, trotted away, and headed for the tent group in the distance.
Zena wanted to speak, but the other party was already far away.
Towards noon, under the fierce white sunlight, Sophie walked through the paths between several tents, greeted the people around, and then got into a tent and disappeared.
After seeing her disappear, Zena felt a little empty inside. She only knew Sophie in the neighborhood or in this camp. How should she explain it if other people came over.
Fortunately, this feeling didn't last long, and Sophie quickly got out of the tent. She waved to Jena from a distance, then trotted over.
"Look, this is what I collected."
She put a booklet into Zena's hand. The cover of this thin booklet had stars and the seal of the book. After opening it, there were light yellow pages inside. Zena pressed it with her fingers and felt a delicate and smooth feeling,
With Sophie helping to turn it over, the candy wrappers in the pages quickly appeared in Jenna's eyes.
Sheets of white candy paper are printed with different patterns, which are colorful, different in form, and clear in lines.
"First of all, common fruits." Sophie pointed to one of them and said. These candy sheets are printed with various fruits, including green orange, red pomegranate, yellow pomelo, white jade grape, dark purple mulberry and so on. There are also short words below the pattern, indicating what the fruit is.
"There are several sets of animals in the back..." Sophie flipped through the booklet, and presented candy sheets of various colors and patterns one by one, including animals, castles, buildings, fruits, as well as extraordinary jobs, strange monsters, etc. .
...
"This is the Fear Night Wolf, the one behind is Lan Jinhu, oh right, and this Cuiyu Phoenix, this is the one I asked for from the head maid with rabbit ears, it's very rare."
"I didn't collect all of the last set. I have asked everyone in the entire caravan, and there are only a few of them."
While Sophie was talking, she opened the last few pages of the booklet, and a few special candy sheets fell from the paper. The patterns in them were extremely delicate, which was completely different from the previous ones.
One is a woman sitting under a vine trellis, with a peaceful expression, smiling, wearing a long pomegranate red dress, with long turquoise hair, holding a bunch of ears of wheat in her hand, and the bottom of the candy wrapper reads With 'Abundance'.
One is a young girl playing music on a reef in the sea. She has beautiful long blue hair, her eyes are slightly closed, and she gently strokes the strings in her hands. The sea is surrounded by fish of various colors. The bottom of the candy wrapper says 'Ocean'.
One is a girl sitting in front of a vanity mirror, she has blond curly hair, surrounded by a girly room, the girl is wearing a white dress, with pink hairpins around her ears, and also sitting in the mirror. She was wearing a black dress, and the hairpins around her ears were also blue and candy-paper
'Mirror' written on the bottom.
The last one is of a woman holding a long sword to a kneeling knight, who is undergoing a canonization ceremony. This knight in ordinary clothes is gradually forming a fine steel armor, and the long sword in the woman's hand is gradually made of wood. It turned into steel overflowing with cold light, spreading from the hilt to the tip of the sword, with 'Silver Iron' written on the bottom of the candy wrapper.
"What are these?" Zena turned to the girl next to her curiously.
"These are witches in ancient legends. They are living myths and legends. It is said that the name of the chamber of commerce that gave us candy also comes from a witch."
"It's very beautiful, but unfortunately I only have four here. If I have money in the future, I must go to the Lagertis Chamber of Commerce to find the eldest lady and ask her to give me a full set of witch candies."
"Because it's so pretty."
"I don't know what sad or sad things you have encountered, or how to comfort you, but I want to tell you that although there are many uncomfortable and bad things in this world, there are still many things worth looking forward to chasing. s things."
"Our Chamber of Commerce is also. When the west wind was still there, life was very difficult, but everyone survived. Now the era of Crancia is much better."
Seeing Jena's silence, Sophie was a little anxious.
"I'm sorry, I'm a bit stupid, maybe what you said is not what you think at all, but, but... I saw you lying on the side of the road with scars all over the body that day, it was really sad."
"What I said may be difficult for a strong man, but...but...but, even if I have suffered a lot of injuries, suffered a lot of grievances, and are not even believed by others, I still have to get up and not lose heart, so that I can find what I want most. Candy to eat."
"Come on, Jena."
The last cry in this ear was like a bolt of lightning smashing into the girl's mind, causing her to wake up suddenly and look at the girl of the same age in front of her.
Sophie, who is the same age as her, has no magic or supernatural power on her body. Her hands are full of marks from labor. The corners of her rough linen coat are washed white, and there are also signs of wear and tear on the corners. It is so ordinary and full of sunshine. .
Although Sophie didn't know all the worries in Jenna's heart, the sincere words still moved her, like warm hands smoothing out the repressed and tangled folds in her heart.
Feeling the hands that embraced her, Jenna closed her eyes slightly, and such thoughts flowed through her heart.
Even though her strength is already at the top among her peers, she is far inferior to this girl in terms of strength.
Hasn't she seen everything in her hometown? In fact, she already had an idea in her heart, but she has always avoided this idea because she felt that she couldn't do it and couldn't afford it.
And now, she finally stopped running away from the idea.
Yes, as the uncle said, this field is already rotten and overgrown with weeds and pests, how can we change it.
The only way is to clear everything with flames and swords, like Crancia after the west wind, and let it be reborn.
I am not strong enough to ignore everything, but this is not a reason to stop.
If your strength is not enough, you can convince more people to join you. If you fail once, try again. Even a small spark must burn hard. Only in this way can everyone see hope and more people will turn to this direction. .
"thanks."
