Lord of the Oasis

"The stronger the light that shines on us, the deeper the outline of our shadow will become." Clemont took a deep breath and said: "We can only speed up ourselves to adapt to it."

The two of them didn't stay outdoors for long. After chatting for a few words, they returned to their tent to rest.

"You are very good today. I think you can be a long way ahead of that soldier." Austinger brought a basin of hot water and placed it beside the bed, and said to Gilbert who was sitting on the edge of the bed.

Gilbert looked at the steaming footbath under his feet and frowned. He had no intention of listening to Gilbert.

"I heard from other soldiers that we can go on smoothly in the next few days. Because the route Captain Abel takes us is an open space under no one's jurisdiction." Austinger was still talking to himself.

"What's so good about an open space that no one has jurisdiction over? It's all abandoned by others." After testing the water temperature, Gilbert quickly retracted his feet. At this time, he wrinkled his nose and said to Austin.

"How can you say that? Every piece of land has its own benefits. It can only be said that these open spaces are not very suitable for the residents of this island." Austinger retorted casually, and then put it in front of Gilbert. A low stool and he sat down.

"This, it's so hot." Gilbert pointed to the hot water beside the bed with his chin and said disgustedly.

"Only water with high temperature can sterilize." Austinger did not pay attention to Gilbert's protest and continued to persuade: "I didn't even care a few days ago. The nails on your toes are so black and you still haven't washed them. From now on. You might get sick."

When it comes to disagreements like this, Austin will always put on a very reasonable face and ultimately win an overwhelming victory.

"Okay." Gilbert glanced at Austin, curled his lips, and said.

Then he slowly dipped his feet into the basin. From time to time it makes an irritated cry.

Austinger sat on a low stool, holding down Gilbert's shrank legs.

After a while, after Gilbert got used to the temperature of the hot water, he was able to dip his feet in the basin in a disciplined manner without Austin's help.

"Do you feel different now?" Austin asked with a smile.

"It's indeed different." Gilbert replied while feeling slowly.

"Soak for about ten minutes. The water will probably be cold by then, and I will help you wipe your feet." Austinger warned.

Then Austinger put the towel on the railing beside the bed and walked out with the unwashed rice bowl.

Gilbert stared at the water in trance. Didn't notice the passage of time at all.

"What are you thinking about?" At some point, Austin came back with a clean bowl.

At this time, I was wiping the water droplets on my hands with a towel.

"I wonder if I'm too human," Gilbert replied.

"Huh? Why did you think of this?" Austinger paused, walked to sit in front of Gilbert, and asked.

"The water is cold." Gilbert's eyes seemed to have regained focus when he saw Austinger coming over. He raised his feet and said.

Austinger could only forget about his own problems, put Gilbert's feet on his towel-covered thighs, and help him wipe away the water stains.

"Whether you are like a goblin or a human, I still hope that in your heart, the object of comparison with your current self will be your past self. As long as it is what you like, what you hate, as long as what is in your body is what you choose. .Isn’t that enough?” After a long moment of silence, Austin said earnestly.

Gilbert raised his head and looked at him, his eyes seemed to be shining.

"Austingue..." Gilbert muttered softly.

"Haha." Austinger laughed softly: "Actually, from a human age perspective, I'm just an adult. I always say these big things in front of you. It's quite embarrassing."

"I know." Gilbert replied with a slight nod.

Austinger lowered Gilbert's legs back onto the mattress.

He lifted up the already black foot-washing water and said in a clear voice: "You should rest first. I will come in later to help you turn off the lights."

"Okay." Gilbert pulled the quilt and covered himself. Closed his eyes.

The moment Austinge walked out of the camp, tears fell. When Gilbert asked that sentence just now, he looked at Gilbert's expression. He already had the illusion that the person in front of him would disappear at any time.

Although they had only been together for about a week, Austin's heart couldn't help but tighten suddenly when he thought that Gilbert would leave her.

The used water was poured into the sink in the camp.

Austinger walked back to the camp where the lights were still on. After seeing that Gilbert had fallen into sleep, he extinguished the candlestick and left.

Early in the morning of the next day, Gilbert stood waiting in front of the camp door where Austinger was.

The soldiers passing by were all surprised by this scene and rushed back to the camp to wake up Austin, who was still sleeping soundly.

"Austinger! Your son is waiting for you outside!!"

"Son...what!" Austinger rubbed his eyes and reflected for a while. After figuring out the content of his words, he quickly got up from the bed. He rushed out the door with his upper body naked, and when he saw Gilbert, he shouted "Ah!"

"Good morning," said Gilbert.

"Why are you here? Who gave you these clothes?" Austinger squatted down and looked at Gilbert carefully.

"I'm standing here waiting for you. Why don't you wear any clothes?" Gilbert replied seriously: "I wear these clothes myself. Seeing that you have put them on for me so many times, I have learned it a long time ago, okay?" ."

Austin's face still had a look of disbelief.

"Austin! You don't even have any armor on, why are you standing there?" The captain of the third team came over and scolded.

"Yes! Yes! Captain, I'll be ready before I come out." Austinger replied in a panic. After glancing at Gilbert who was standing there, he opened the door curtain and walked back to the tent.

"This shouldn't be a dream..." Austinger said to himself as he dressed: "But, how could he suddenly become like this?"

With doubts, Austinge quickly put on his coat and put on his weapons. Went out.

Today, Gilbert no longer had to stand at the front to lead the way, so he returned to his position next to Austin as usual.

"Today, everyone can relax a little. There is no need to rush like the previous two days." Abel stood in front of the queue and spoke: "But you still have to remember to keep up with the group and don't let down your guard completely."

This is the decision reached by Abel, DeWitt, and Clement yesterday after discussing it. After all, after running for two days in a row, I still need to be tight and relaxed.
