Chapter 591 The Most Precious Gift
Mo Lin stared blankly at all this, he couldn't accept it, and he couldn't accept it either.
He killed his parents!
"How could this be? How could this be?"
It seemed that all the air was sucked out of Mo Lin's lungs in an instant, and he could no longer breathe.
This is how his parents disappeared into the sea of flames. The parents who haven't returned for seven years are all because of the out-of-control flames on him!
"No!"
Maureen stood where he was, tears streaming down and dripping into the flames.
There are only terrifying flames raging around, spreading out continuously, devouring everything.
But when Mo Lin raised his head, he suddenly found that he vaguely saw a familiar figure through the surging flames!
Arnock!
Actually Arnock!
"Arnock, why are you here? Why?"
Maureen snarled at Arnock in the fire.
Arnock was standing not far from the fire scene. He didn't do anything, just watched all this silently, watched the fire, and watched the seven-year-old Maureen lying in the fire scene.
The fire in the fire field surged violently around seven-year-old Maureen, consuming everything but not him.
"Stop this flame—please, Arnock! Save them!"
Maureen frantically ran towards Anok, but the memory stopped abruptly.
The memory in front of him has been re-transformed. The seven-year-old Maureen is lying in the arms of his grandfather Alton. A look of sadness in Alton's eyes flashed and disappeared.
"Are you okay, Maureen?" Alton asked hoarsely.
"Grandpa, what's wrong with me?" seven-year-old Maureen asked in Alton's arms.
"You - don't you remember anything?" Alton asked wearily.
"What should I remember? Grandpa, by the way, where are Mom and Dad? Did they go to Egypt again?" seven-year-old Maureen asked curiously.
Alton closed his eyes, he took a deep breath, opened them again, and forced a smile: "Yes, they went to Egypt again."
"Then when will they come back?" Seven-year-old Maureen asked again.
Alton hugged his grandson tightly, holding back his tears from falling, and said softly, "In a while."
In a while!
This moment is a lifetime.
They never come back.
Maureen looked at Alton's expression of trying to hide his grief, and he understood everything.
Why did Alton hide this matter all the time, because the seven-year-old Maureen lost his memory in the fire and only remembered that his parents had gone to Egypt.
Grandpa can't tell Mo Lin the truth, how should he tell Mo Lin the truth?Could it be that he told Mo Lin that he killed his parents?
The memory flows again.
Maureen sat down on the hyacinth-filled hillside again, the house still blown intact by the wind.
"Why? Why did Arnock appear here? Why didn't he stop the fire?"
Maureen roared angrily. He thought that the first time he saw Arnock was under the big camphor tree in Hogsmeade Village, but he was wrong. Arnock had seen him when he was a child, so he stood there. Outside of that fire, there was no stopping this from happening!
Arnock is standing by!
Mo Lin remembered the first time Anok had given him the Dragon Flame Repellent, which triggered the power in his body, and suddenly felt flustered, and his stomach shrank into a ball.
"The truth is often cruel."
The man in black appeared next to Mo Lin again, he pushed Mo Lin and pushed him out of memory.
-
Mo Lin sat on the icy and snowy hillside again, staring blankly at the snow-covered house in front of him.
This was his childhood home, but after he burned it down, Grandpa Alton took him out of here and went to live in the Muggle community.
But it was rebuilt by Alton just because Maureen believed that "Mom and Dad went to Egypt".
Maureen lay in the snow, looking at the gray sky, his mind went blank.
Duoyi sat quietly beside him. He seemed to understand Mo Lin's mood and didn't speak. He just took out a few candies from Mo Lin's pocket from time to time, took a bite himself, and pushed them to Mo Lin's mouth.
But Molin was not in the mood to eat. All he had was the fire, Arnock in the fire, and Alton who would pretend to be Maureen's parents and write letters to Maureen from time to time.
Snowflakes fell on him and covered him up.
-
After lying down for an unknown amount of time, Mo Lin really wanted to lie here for the rest of his life, in the snow, without facing the truth.
Twilight is gradually coming.
"Momo!"
Duoyi desperately swept the snow off Mo Lin's body and dug Mo Lin out of the snow.
Mo Lin sat up, snowflakes fell from him, he picked up Doi, and walked into the hut silently.
He looked at the owl in the nest, at the package tied up with brown oiled paper.
It was a Christmas present from his so-called "parents."
The owl hooted softly.
Mo Lin looked around. This hut was a hope left by his grandfather to make him believe that his parents were still alive. It was a hope constructed by his grandfather with lies.
But Maureen personally shattered this hope.
—The truth is often cruel.
Mo Lin remembered what the man in black said again.
He was on the verge of collapse, but when he was determined to find the truth, he chose to hide all his cowardice and sadness, and he had to stand up again.
No matter how cruel the truth is, he has to bear it. He wants to live a little more clearly.
"I'm going home first." Maureen said softly to the owl, "I'm waiting for your gift at home."
Maureen disappeared into the cabin.
-
Alton was dozing off on the sofa, and he still had a magic magazine in his hand. In the magazine, Santa Claus was driving an elk and sprinkled colorful ribbons and candies.
There was a cold lunch on the table, and it was already evening when Maureen came back.
He lay outside the hut constructed of lies all afternoon, trying to feel the existence of his parents.
Looking at the pale-haired Alton, Mo Lin felt as if he had been stabbed by countless needles.
His eyes were red, there were no more tears to flow out, and there was still deep fatigue and loss on his face.
But he put away all these emotions, and took a blanket to cover Grandpa.
He doesn't complain about his grandpa who lied to him, or his parents who don't exist in the hut, he just wants to do what he should do.
Alton woke up suddenly, saw Mo Lin, stood up quickly, and asked worriedly: "Where have you been? I didn't see you in the bedroom when I was having lunch at noon."
Mo Lin stepped forward and hugged Grandpa.
Grandpa's arms are very warm, he used to always like to be held in his arms by grandpa.
Alton was stunned for a moment, not understanding why Maureen hugged him suddenly, but he still stretched out his hand involuntarily and patted Maureen on the back.
"Grandpa, I'm hungry." Mo Lin said softly, "I ran to my classmate's house in the afternoon and forgot to tell you."
"Oh, that's right. Then I'll go to heat up dinner—" Alton looked at the sky, and said annoyedly again: "Oh, it's late, I've slept all afternoon, wait a minute, I'll make dinner. "
Mo Lin let go of his hand and looked at the back of Grandpa.
He didn't ask Grandpa about his parents leaving, he decided not to expose the lie that had been made for many years.
Just as Grandpa guards his fantasies about his parents carefully, he also wants to guard the lies that Grandpa made up to protect him.
Grandpa can still continue to write letters to Molin on behalf of Molin's parents, and Molin is willing to receive such letters from grandpa's forged parents.
The truth is always cruel, but Maureen can make her own choices.
He can choose to continue to believe that his parents are still alive in that house until everything is sorted out.
He walked into the bedroom, opened the wardrobe, and took out a cardboard box.
Inside are neatly stacked holiday cards and letters sent to him by his "parents" over the years, as well as various small gifts from Egypt.
The mummy doll who would take off the bandages and dance with bandages from time to time, all kinds of strange sphinxes, a small pyramid that can rotate, a pharaoh scepter pendant that can bubble...
Mo Lin didn't know where Grandpa got such things, but he suddenly fell in love with these things.
The most precious gift in the world is this.
