Chapter Twelve Chester the Loser
"Isn't Chester going to find someone?" On the way, Catherine asked the mayor: "With his relationship with those two people, he should go no matter what. Have you ever doubted it?"
"It's because they have a good relationship that he can't go. This is actually very reasonable." Panis shook his head and said, "Think about it, assume that he doesn't know anything, and then if he goes, what will happen if he really catches up with someone?"
Catherine lowered her head and thought for a while, smiled bitterly, and sighed and said, "It's really a bit messy. If he goes there, it seems to be really embarrassing. She has no idea how to face the other party when meeting."
"Because of this, everyone thinks Little Chester is very pitiful." The mayor also smiled bitterly: "Although everyone knew that Little Betty would make a choice in the end, and one of the two children would be a loser, but when the result really came out, the loser was still very sympathetic, so I still felt a little unbelievable. If Chester knew in advance, how could they let them leave like this? He wouldn't have just given up."
"So what if you are unwilling to give up?" Panis shrugged: "Since Betty has made a choice, he may not be able to change anything he does. If he can really accept reality and admit defeat like this, it will be a kind of courage."
"That's right, he never lacks courage." The bearded mayor nodded thoughtfully: "In the past, in order to make more money, he always challenged some dangerous monsters to make Betty live a better life in the future. He even challenged bronze-level monsters as a black iron profession, just to earn a few more gold coins. His courage has always been praised by the people in the town."
"This is not the same thing, right?" Catherine shook her head and said, "Forget it. I'm about to see him anyway, so he will naturally tell us the answers to everything, and hopefully it's not a bad result."
When you are close to Chester's home, you can find that his home is closer to the center of the town than the Ner's home, and the rooms are larger. His house also has a yard, but he doesn't want the Ner's home to have traces of planting plants. His yard is bare and nothing is left. Obviously, Chester has not had any thoughts on this. The mayor has sent someone to notify the search team on the way. At this time, Lao Dake happened to run quickly to meet with the mayor. Some townsmen who wanted to watch the fun followed behind, but were stared back by the mayor at first glance, and could only wait and see from a distance with curiosity.
"Master, what you said is true?" As soon as Lao Dake came, the mayor explained the suspicion of several people in a few simple words. The old man who was anxious and worried about his daughter's run away from home said angrily: "Little Chester, how can you not tell me such a big thing? If something really happened on Betty's road, I, I, I..."
"Why don't you, the old guy, want something good?" The mayor glared at the old man: "Betty and Neo are not children anymore. What can happen to them together? Besides, the young people. What do we old guys know? If you didn't agree with Betty going to the north before, they wouldn't choose to run away from home. You are not allowed to speak loudly later, and don't scare the little Chester away."
Dark, who was also a gray-moustache, responded aggrievedly, took out a wine pot from his arms and took a few sips to calm down his excitement, and knocked on the door of the Chester house with several people. Chester lived alone, and he was the one who opened the door. Catherine and Pennis remembered that they had indeed seen him at the group therapy rally and at the night party afterwards. At that time, they felt that he was worried and just forced to smile. This time, when they saw him, they found that in just two days, he had become much haggard than he was at. His eyes were dark, his eyes were covered with bloodshot, and his whole body was smelling alcohol. He was wearing the clothes he had before at the banquet. The beautiful clothes had become wrinkled and covered with wine stains and stains. It seemed that he had been drinking all night and had not rested overnight.
When he saw the people knocking outside the door, Chester's eyes flashed in surprise and asked uneasily: "Uncle Mayor, Uncle Dark, why are you here? Are you preparing to find Betty and the others?"
"You bastard, idiot." The bearded mayor understood everything when he saw Chester's appearance. He grabbed Chester's collar and pushed him into the house and pressed him against the wall, roaring: "Idiot, do you know what you are doing? You are a hunter. Don't you know how dangerous it is to go out in the snow? Especially a young man and woman hurriedly ran away from home. Do you dare to hide such things for them? Are you a pig? Have you ever thought about what if something happens to them on the road? Can you feel at ease in the rest of your life? How do you face your Uncle Dark? What are you thinking about in your idiot's mind?"
"Uncle Mayor, what are you talking about?" Chester turned his head and did not dare to look directly at the mayor, and said in a panic: "How could I know they were leaving? I only knew after you said it."
"You are pretending." The mayor was even more angry and roared against Chester's face: "Can we come to you for something that cannot be confirmed? Bastards? You still hide it for them. Do you think you are doing this great, do you think you are helping them? Idiots, is this trying to make them know? If they really have danger, at least half of your responsibility. When they came to you, you should quietly tell us that they are all good kids. They want to go to the north, can we really stop them from going?"
"What do you know? What can I do? What can I do?" Chester was sprayed with the mayor's saliva, and suddenly pushed away the mayor as if he had lost his mind. He squatted on the ground and grabbed his short brown hair like crazy, and shouted: "What can I do? My favorite girl and my closest brother suddenly ran to me and said that they were going to the north together, crying and entrusting me to take care of the house left by their ancestors and their common father. What can I do? Can I refuse? Betty chose Neo, what can I say? What else can I do besides helping them realize their wishes? I tell you? It's easy to say. If I really tell you, what will Betty and Neo look at me in the future, how can I have the face to see them?"
"So you are a fool." The mayor sighed, and his voice became much calmer: "You told us that at least they still have the future. If something really happened on their way, you won't see them in the future. Oh, young people, one side is love and the other side is life safety. Which one is important? If Betty encounters danger, you can't even cry for the rest of your life."
"They... will not be in danger." Chester was a little uneasy, and he asked with a little expectation: "He has learned my hunting skills and wild survival skills. We have also analyzed several times, which road can be taken and which road is safer. I have analyzed each road to Xueman Village in detail, and all the terrain characteristics on the road have been marked, so they cannot get lost."
"Oh, should you say you are naive or stupid." The mayor shook his head and said, "You are also an experienced hunter. Why are you still so naive? Can the weather of the blizzard be compared with usual? Think about it yourself. If they really encounter any misfortunes, you will never have a good life."
Chester squatted on the ground blankly, his blood-filled eyes staring at the mayor's face blankly, like a helpless child, and he had no idea what he should do. The mayor sighed deeply, patted Chester's shoulder and said, "Looking at how tired you look, you should go and rest for a while first. Don't think too much, we will bring them back."
Chester nodded dullly, sat down against the wall, hugged his head and began to sobb. He didn't know whether it was for his mistakes or for his sadness in his emotional defeat. The mayor wanted to say something else, but Old Dark pulled the mayor's clothes, shook his head and pulled the mayor out of Chester's house, and closed the door.
"He is also a poor child." Old Dark sighed, "He has never known how to refuse Betty's request since he was a child. If Betty was crying and begging him, he would have hidden it for Betty."
"Forget it, let's not talk about this anymore." The mayor sighed, "The most important thing now is to find Betty and Neo first, and you can talk about everything else later."
"What are you going to do if you really find them?" Ava suddenly asked in a tone without any fluctuation: "What will you do after you can ensure their safety?"
"I..." Old Dark was stunned for a moment and said with a wry smile: "Of course you have to bring them back. It's not OK to leave like this. If you want to go out together to see the world, you have to hold the wedding first, otherwise what is Betty? As for after the wedding, if they really want to go out, they will go there, but at least they have to bring all the money and enough supplies. You can't run out with just a little money and clothes like now."
Eva didn't say anything, but her head was tilted with her eyes flashing. She didn't know what she was thinking, and she seemed to be incomprehensible. However, Catherine couldn't help but sneer and shook her head, "The heart of a parent, no matter what identity, it's the same everywhere."
Old Dake also scratched his head and said helplessly: "They had such a big deal. They should have taught them a lesson, but they couldn't bear it. I still hope they can do it well."
