珈瓏攙扶著哈荻雅來到那棵城外的樹下64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwIgUZ9GzGn
腳步蹣跚，表情疲憊，但外傷看來已無大礙64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1s1DUOSEHr
她不時望著沙漠中的另一端，似乎是在期盼什麼64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsqafrBvkrE
但望了一陣子後，她別過頭去64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu5soEhNmYQ
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0w9FFcY7b8
衣冠塚前的花已經枯萎，她的手裡拿著另一把鮮花64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEsNevpWwdN
基特見狀，將那束失去生命力的花拔起64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlvupET5qCt
再從珈瓏手中接過鮮花，插入瓶中64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiE7J0DCVlC
哈荻雅不時望向奶奶，眼中思緒流轉64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡceJQ9ch2C8
雖然想開口，但又怕奶奶情緒再次失控64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPwgvsnKeLy
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvIBVhOMkFz
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？」64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1T4olWtBC9
哈荻雅有些訝異，開口道：「奶奶……妳的傷不疼了嗎？」64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjALmptHPEl
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。」64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNmUqWu8idB
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnNgBuJRkUF
哈荻雅用力點頭，基特也停下手邊動作聽著64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡePHVjYIDMq
珈瓏奶奶凝望著那塊衣冠塚，思緒游離地說：64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqMclAnzJbz
「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。」64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUbBlsEDPW0
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4wTizvYh2J
珈瓏這番話只是讓哈荻雅跟基特更加一頭霧水64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3K0Jx3dl2e
她分明知道許多，也有滿腹的話想傾訴64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3yrACGST7p
卻不像剛剛對那些道士說話時那麼直接了當64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8pNpc3CHFS
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmDUsMIwdVb
哈荻雅跟基特心想，看奶奶這副樣子64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ64eXMD7gsQ
即使再問下去也得不到有用的答案64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ83H8JxTmTm
還不如等月落族長回來，再要求對方「全盤托出」64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5us7hmi8U3
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtrld6hAhjE
「珈瓏，這孩子就拜託妳了。」64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3RF2JiPeiY
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZposkaAX5d
珈瓏憶起姊姊當年愁眉不展卻又毅然決然的神情64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSsUGOLxsB6
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64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ79lDvLX65n
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64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBDUWz6LP6D
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuYVzXejaKH
「……如果當時我再冷靜一點，對妳說我們一起想辦法64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsS7Bkm48ro
那妳是不是就不會去尋死，還能在這裡陪著這孩子長大？」64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfUONaUshzM
珈瓏垂眸，悄悄落下眼淚64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcopT1sNJaQ
又趁孩子們沒發現時迅速抹去淚水64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9eEPSkqdDY
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbT4ruPZjom
這時，不遠處出現了一道飄搖的白色身影64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4wThUJSfCP
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64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgruGuiBsdl
紛紛朝那道人影奔去，接著三人會合，再一齊走向他們64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7cXalnTAjS
株瑜欠身，而他身後的兩名隨從背上多了一個人64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoG6SPzvhxy
那是早已失去氣息的阿苳族長64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMxS6hKG0a5
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT7zJMGOwRS
基特：「是族長！他怎麼會？！」64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBZB2aWwYKZ
基特不可置信地看著株瑜一行人，不敢相信眼前所見64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwRkHqJ69CQ
阿苳族長雖說不是月騎，但也不是普通人，具備一定身手64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWBTxMFofQj
而且，這道士竟然一點外傷都沒有64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPzpQQNOCzL
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm3XF6i9kjx
株瑜：「是在下……疏忽，沒有保護好……族長，對不住。」64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq9WYL0aXxz
株瑜沒有流露太多情緒，只是簡單陳述64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJk3sn1rfHN
哈荻雅原先擔心奶奶又要大吼大叫，正準備要做點什麼64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8pCZLgtUUL
卻發現奶奶只是安靜地盯著族長屍首64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7mzKMi6eNH
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU3CrNk03lm
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。」64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYWuWkCeF3h
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64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡslgdZ2sUqc
但等了老半天，卻只等到一具屍首，而且前因後果不明不白64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdyoIly3tIj
正準備開口之際，哈荻雅已經率先發話64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5T3L3KL74Q
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM6B4cdG9m1
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64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2OuBrR3PSK
株瑜不想再多生事端，因此用手指了指阿苳身上的箭傷64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDj3cqujd5U
眾人仔細一看，發生阿苳身上有許多大小不一的傷口64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX637oapnWI
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT5IVOLP09R
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？！」64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD0a3lG28Tx
哈荻雅也點了點頭，兩個孩子就這樣死命盯著株瑜64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZXAUuWCHK3
看來是沒有打算要讓步的意思64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHFfonvvG4u
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡieqjq6tXTs
珈瓏：「夠了！退下！怎能對恩人如此無理？」64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlUxRYGpDbf
珈瓏厲聲喝斥，接著親自接過阿苳屍首，動作相當輕柔64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEXCSGQDIAF
基特與哈荻雅見狀，只好趕緊過來幫忙64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBfrrUmFOsW
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQTCE6RuuE8
株瑜輕嘆一聲，他想，珈瓏奶奶之所以態度反覆64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW0lzrwIEFN
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64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0kk1ADYIcy
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64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1WaIjdJ8ht
他雖同情，卻也無法加以干涉
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx9yMYqFKUi
接下來數日，珈瓏奶奶不斷對族人和兩個孩子洗腦64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWaFyM5WuER
說月落族長是被化為妖邪的他族部落所殺64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7ol7Jrpb56
還請求株瑜等人將擁有淨化之力的巨木林樹枝賜予月落64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ17CuHq5B4E
株瑜允諾，取身上樹枝交與他們64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF83KE33xgz
叮囑他們要擺放在澄淨水源之處，方可常保村落安全64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm5xYWteSbs
接著，三人旋即動身，朝下個目的地前進64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0suPOZu5si
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJEpzmmGLtw
哈荻雅與基特看著漸行漸遠的三人64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjqLExJT1m8
眉頭深鎖到可以夾死一隻蒼蠅64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV0wcdAJoaQ
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。」64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3vskYwKSoy
基特：「但我總有一股預感，以後還會和他們見面。」64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN4pFnu3BL5
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。」64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNb6py78EIz
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？」64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5xka1xJifd
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4jw1vIS2id
哈荻雅歪頭，她覺得基特有時真愛裝老64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYXCg1DwzWK
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64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8EkB9lYxRp
否則用那張充滿稚氣的臉說這些話，實在讓人笑掉大牙
