The Happy Life of the Abandoned Prince

Chapter 118

The old man and Connor were walking forward in the darkness, and the old Constantine's footsteps were not slow. Connor was frightened by his old arms and legs, and he was afraid that the old man would not be able to get up after falling. There is no hospital, and my own healing spells have not reached home. At that time, it is really ineffective.

The old man seemed to see Connor's expression, "Why, you have to have confidence in me."

Of course I don’t have confidence. If I have confidence, why would I send you off.

They walked in step like this, Connor always took a step slowly, observing the old man's pace and the road conditions, thanks to the level leap, Connor can now proudly announce that his vision in the dark is as good as an owl's eyes Fight.He can still see every small stone on the ground clearly in low light conditions.

The only light at this time is the moon in the sky. When the round moon hides in the clouds, even the eyes that are close to Chaofan can feel the darkness. He hurriedly supported the old man, thank God even if he was so dark, the old man did not fall somersault or something.

"I'm bothering you." The old man couldn't see his expression clearly in the dark, but his voice was very gentle, "I just want to go to the cemetery today, and I don't usually walk at night at this time."

"It's a trivial matter to me." Connor slowly supported the old man in this way, paying attention to his pace and rhythm, walking slowly step by step until the light of the moon came out from the clouds again.

"Today is Wendy of the Three Luna Sisters, so the light is naturally insufficient." The old man pointed to the moon in the sky.Connor looked at the sky speechlessly. He couldn't tell how people in the world of Venus could easily tell which moon the moon belonged to?Of course, he had also seen the scene of March volleying.Apart from letting him understand that this is indeed not the earth, the rest is to shudder. As a Chinese who has seen the Three-Body Problem in his previous life, he naturally knows that the end of the Three-Body World is the three-day volley.

The old man just led the way ahead, and the dark road seemed endless. Connor suddenly thought of all kinds of ghost stories he had heard in his previous life, such as when a movie was shown in a nearby village, and someone moved a small bench to watch it. After reading it, I walked home on the main road, but was surprised to find that there was no one on the road, and it was obvious that the villagers should have left together.He walked and walked, and under the moonlight, he saw a tree growing in the middle of the mainland.He suddenly understood that he had encountered a "ghost hitting the wall" or some kind of prank by a fox fairy, and ran back in fright.When he came to the fork in the road, he immediately ran to the small road, finally met someone, and went home smoothly. The next day, he led the villagers along the main road. After walking a few times, he didn't see any trees in the middle of the road.Of course, if the story wants to be scary, let the poor man run into the dead when he thinks he's meeting the living, and it's ok.

Isn't this old man also a ghost?It suddenly occurred to Connor that he also met this old man in the cemetery. Although it was a mechanical cemetery, maybe the magic machine was also haunted by resentment?Or...he looked at Constantine's face under the moonlight. The old man's profile was thin and his skin was a bit rough, but it could be seen that the old man should have been a handsome guy when he was young. I never heard that foxes like to grow old, and they usually turn into beautiful women. Or the old lady... He shook his head, he had clearly met the deity at Tiger Bridge, so why was he thinking wildly at night.

"Ahead is where I live." The old man pointed forward, thank God, the old man didn't point to a tombstone, otherwise Connor's little heart would have trembled a little, after all, he hates ghost movies and supernatural events.

What the old man was referring to was the location of the light that Connor had seen on the bridge. In the darkness, even a little light seemed a bit popular.

"This is the Honor Nursing Home. I just board here temporarily with my granddaughter."

The old man pushed open the door and took off his clean but shabby coat under the dim yellow light. The damp corridor and the creaking handrails all showed that the building was at least 20 years older than Connor.

"Grandpa, you're back." The little girl with a strange voice bounced down the stairs.The old man stared at her with his loving eyes, and embraced the little girl gently in his arms.

"My sweet Emily."

"Grandpa, I have been with Grandpa Topi and the others, but they have been playing cards, which is meaningless! Where have you been, Grandpa, take me there next time, okay?"

"The place where grandpa went was far and dark. If this elder brother hadn't sent me back, I wouldn't be able to get there now."

"Oh, it's you." The little girl was not at all happy about Connor's arrival. She held Grandpa's hand vigilantly, as if afraid that the old man would be snatched away.

"Ahahaha." Connor touched his pocket and wanted to take out the lollipop, but remembered that he was not a gentleman and had no special anti-loli equipment, so he had to pretend to be gentle and reliable. "Your name is Emily, we met."

"Hmph." Seeing little Loli hiding behind old Constantine with a vigilant expression, Connor was speechless.Don't I look good? I have a harmless face. Your behavior is very sad, okay?

"Fashion! You're back!" A scruffy old man limped out of the room with drool still on his collar. "Why are there still guests?"

"He sent me back." Constantine patted Connor. "Heroes of the magic doll convention."

"Oh, by the way, it's you, it's you!" The sloppy old man walked over in a hurry, and he stretched out his dirty hands, "Oh, it really is that young man."

Connor thought the old man was going to touch him, but the old man was not interested in Connor, he just touched Constantine's arms, this kind of intimacy was quite strange, he took out a pair of cards come. "Haha, you really bought it. Old Ludge's saliva was all over that deck of cards before."

Of course, people with drool always fart and look at others. Old Topi's drool is dripping on his collar. Connor can guess what kind of cards he used. These old men will be able to play cards sooner or later. Saliva to mark.

Seeing Topi happily return to the house with the cards, the old Constantine said suddenly: "You can see it." The old man raised his hands, "It's the same place as me."

"Probably the right leg is also a prosthetic."

"You have a good vision." The old man said calmly. He looked at the little Emily who was a little confused, and gently stroked her head. "This nursing home is full of disabled elderly people."

"I'm a craftsman, maybe you don't believe me, I was a young master craftsman before." The old man seemed to be talking about other people's affairs, although his words seemed to be full of complacency, his tone was calm. "Of course, that's all I can do now. I came to the Nursing Home to give these good fellows a physical examination."

He pulled a chair over to signal Connor to sit down, and he sat on another chair with Emily in his arms, stroking little Loli's hair like a cat. "You asked me if I want to go to the outer islands to teach students, I want to go, but I can't let go of these old guys."

"I can usually earn a small amount of money by my ability, which is enough for me and my granddaughter to travel around, to check and check the prosthetic limbs of old guys like me everywhere, so as to make their lives better." Constantine said Before the end of the day, noises, laughter, and all kinds of dirty words that Connor couldn't understand came from Topi's room.

"You're kidding. There's not much that these old chaps can do to be happy, and that's how they're happy."

Connor nodded silently.

"For those of us, whether you use optimism or poverty to be happy, you can let yourself find some purpose in life. Now my goal is to help the elderly like me. So thank you young people. I believe in your character , I also believe in your sincerity in my invitation. But let me refuse you."

"No, I can understand." Connor waved his hand hastily.

"Do you know? I have always called you young man. I have never called you Your Highness. But you have never cared." The old man mentioned this kind of thing unexpectedly. "I knew you were a good boy."

"I said I'm Connor, just call me that." Connor shook his head, he never cared about the prince's status.

"If you believe me, young man, leave the Free Trade Union as soon as possible. There are too many plots and tricks here." The old man suddenly said something quite surprising.

"Don't be surprised. Back then...forget it, I don't care about my virtues." The old man said. "Actually, I came to Golden Key Island not only for these old guys, but also for the magic conference. It's not to see those new gadgets, but to meet an old friend."

"We've been apart for so long that I hardly recognize him. He used to be my best friend."

Connor noticed this "before" all at once.

"I was framed one day and lost everything, and I thought it was my best friend who framed me."

"Well, that's really unfortunate." This scene is very common, good friends turn against each other.

"It turned out that after more than ten years, I found out that he was also framed, and the real murderer was someone else."

"Huh?" Connor was taken aback, the plot was too ups and downs.

"I can't accept this at all." The old man said quietly, Emily saw that the old man was in a bad mood, and pulled the old man's sleeve to signal him not to continue talking.The old man shook his head lovingly, and continued: "I have hated him for more than ten years, and I have been living with hatred, and suddenly I realized that I hated the wrong person. My life suddenly became disordered. The betrayal I thought was my misunderstanding, I I hated my best friend for more than ten years. At that time, I really wanted to die. But in the end I survived like this." Old Constantine patted himself on the body, "I am more afraid than I thought Death, I used to think that my true love is everything, without her I would die, my true love is gone, I thought I would die, but I didn't. I thought my life was devoted to magic technology." He raised his hand Raised my hands, "I lost my hands, and I thought I was going to die, and I didn't either. So, not that time."

"You will meet good things when you live." Connor could only talk nonsense when he met this kind of old man who had crushed him through experience.

"Yeah, I went to see my friend. I wanted to have a good chat with him, talk about my grievances, tell about my misunderstandings about him, talk about wine like an old friend, and talk about the time of parting. experience."

He said seriously: "But I found that time can change people. So I didn't go to say hello, just looking at him from a distance is enough."

"Connor, a lot of people on this island are assimilated. Whether they hate this island or love it, they end up being like the same kind of people. Sooner or later they're going to make a big mess. So you better get out of here .”
