Seale was satisfied with the meal. He patted his bulging belly and burped.
" Uncle's cooking is the best," Saier praised from the bottom of his heart." I want to learn how to cook!" In the future, I want to make dishes like this too!”
" Tsk," Linda rolled her eyes." Where did you get so much energy?" I want to learn everything."
" Of course I have to learn how to cook. Otherwise, I'll be just like mom..." Saier expressed his firm attitude.
Eliza smiled awkwardly. Under Alina and Karl's teasing gazes, she felt ashamed…Her cooking results were indeed quite shocking, to the point that most of her meals were taken care of by her sister and Karl…
……
" Sometimes, I just wish Linda was as sensible as you." Carl washed his hands after putting the cutlery into the freezer and sighed helplessly.”
" Let's go to the living room." Carl reached out and used his luck to scrape the dirt on the cooking table into the sink." Let's talk about how you've been in the academy these days."”
"Yes." Before leaving the kitchen, Saier glanced at the machine that was cleaning the kitchenware, full of curiosity.
After leaving the kitchen, Sayre, accompanied by his uncle, went through the kitchen to the living room and ran to his mother.
" Ah, okay." Alyssa leaned out and carried her son to the sofa." They're broadcasting a documentary, World War."”
" I know," said Sayre, looking at the screen on the wall." I'm reading these books.”
"Books? Which one?" Alina picked up a red fruit and handed it to her nephew." In the textbook? I remember that history is a must, but you didn't talk about war, right?”
" Well, the instructor hasn't told me yet." Sail nodded and took the red fruit." But I read it in advance." Also, War Hero. Grandpa Zhang asked me to bring it back to read.”
"What? That book?" Eliza rubbed her chin and remembered." I've read it too. I remember that most of it was about Zhao Zhu-"
" Not that much," Saier agreed." On the table of contents, he has more than a hundred pages, a quarter of it…"
" A quarter is too much, Sal." Alina stopped her daughter, who was about to switch to kissing, and lowered the volume of the screen." It almost overshadowed the stories of the others in the book.”
" That's normal." Karl, who was boiling water and preparing to make tea, looked helplessly at his daughter who was lying on the sofa in a fit of anger." Who wouldn't think of him first when talking about the war?"”
" Besides, this is Li City." Carl picked up his pillow daughter and patted her head on his thigh." This is his hometown, the city he is proud of…"
Thinking back to Grandpa Zhang's reverent expression when he mentioned Zhao Zhu, Saier suddenly understood."Oh! No wonder Grandpa Zhang has always been very respectful when talking about Zhao Zhu…"
"Not only the people of Li City, who in the Republic doesn't know him?”Alina pointed at the screen and reminded her nephew," Look, isn't that in the middle?”
Following the auntie's gesture, Seale looked at the screen." In the center of the colorful image, a man in a dark gray military uniform was receiving a medal from a half-elf in a white robe.
He turned around abruptly and gave a solemn military salute to the cheering Chinese crowd below the honours podium.
The man looked to be in his twenties and had the typical black hair and black eyes of the Xia people. Looking closely at his appearance, he was really too ordinary. He was not handsome, nor was he tall. He was not outstanding at all.
If it weren't for the deep and thick scar that started from the left lower eyelid and ended at the right cheek, the man's appearance would really be unrecognizable.
However, those who had seen him would never forget him. His posture was straight and his posture was standard. His entire body was filled with confidence-the kind of confidence in strength, absolute confidence.
Just like the voice of the commentator on the television, there was no equal opponent in front of this person, only the pitiful extremists whose ending had been pronounced.
His dark eyes pierced into the hearts of others. Perseverance, sharpness, fearlessness, depth, depth, depth…
Suddenly, he was cold and terrified.
Gazing at the close-up image of the man saluting, Sayre's entire body seemed to fall into an empty silence, and he could even hear the beating of his heart in his chest.
"What's wrong?" Seeing that Saier was in a daze, Linda stretched out her hand and waved it gently. You only know how to daydream? Idiot, idiot!"
Sail did not respond to his sister's 'provocation'. He suspected that he was hallucinating and began to let his imagination run wild again.
He knocked his daughter's head in dissatisfaction. Carl also remembered some of Zhao Zhu's stories."Catch that…flying fox? After that, he did not seem to have returned to the country much.”
" It's in the book." Saier ran to the door and found War Heroes from the cloth bag on the shoe cabinet. He then returned to his mother's side and started reading." Let's look for it…"
" In 2357, the arrest of Pros's survivor, Lavel... In 2371, the last time it was made public..." Seale calculated the difference in years." It has been 146 years since then, and he has never publicly returned to the country.”
" I'm not sure." Alyssa also flipped through the book with her son." This book... was written before 1997... However, it seems that there's no news of him returning to the country.”
" Grandpa Zhang said that he's in Zhongzhou now." Saier looked at his mother curiously." Is that true?"”
"Central Continent?" Eliza was a little confused.
"What?" Linda had never heard of this place before.
Alina thought of something and glanced at her husband.""I didn't go…Carl, you used to…"
" I've traveled there before, but I'm not too sure about the details," Karl said as he closed his eyes and pondered." Before I met you, I traveled to a place called Santa…"
After thinking for a long time, Carl looked at Seer apologetically." When I left the country, someone reminded me to contact some 'base' if there was any trouble there…I really can't remember anything else.”
" Alright, don't think too much." Eliza patted her son's head." Why don't we go out and play?"
"Good!" Linda shouted and jumped down from her father's lap. She pulled up Sail who was gnawing on a red fruit and ran out of the door.
"Ah! Be careful! Remember to go home on time!" Alyssa, who had followed him to the door, shouted worriedly.
……
Linda held her brother's hand and walked into the dense forest.
"Little fool!" Linda stopped and turned around. She asked her brother mysteriously," You said you have a new ability? What was it? Let me see!"
Saier scratched his head and threw the half-eaten red fruit." This is it." When he threw it to the highest point, the red fruit stopped in mid-air and did not fall anymore." Nothing special."”
Linda was dumbfounded.
"Isn't this special?" Linda grabbed her younger brother's collar, wanting to shake this fool awake." Hey, hey, hey, be smart. This is abnormal!"”Realizing that she couldn't shake her brother at all, Linda let go helplessly." It's very abnormal!”
" It's not normal…" Seer suddenly thought of something and looked at his sister who was dancing in front of him in confusion.
"What?" Sensing her brother's strange gaze, Linda glared back unhappily.
" Sister..." Sail slowly approached Linda.
"Eh? W-what are you doing?" Seeing her younger brother sticking close to her, Linda quickly dodged back." You suddenly got so close..." Her face blushed, and she did not dare to look at her younger brother at close range." Too cute..."
"Sister, you're 29 years old, right?”Sai Er asked solemnly.
"Yeah?" Linda was puzzled." Why do you ask?”
" Sister Esther is two years younger than you…She's a head taller than you." Seer thought of his friends in the village." Everyone is at least half a head taller than you…"
" Sister, you seem to be only a little taller than me." Saier reached out to draw and finally confirmed Linda's height." No, we are the same height."”
"…I grow slowly!" Linda stuttered for a long time before she mustered up the courage to respond.”
" Yes." Seer felt that he had guessed the truth of something." No wonder my sister doesn't go to school now…"
"I don't want to go!" Linda, who was hit in the soft spot, blushed." I'm ignoring you! Idiot!" After saying that, Linda ran home angrily.”
His sister was finally angry. Saier took back the floating red fruit and nibbled on it. His sister, who usually liked to jump around, had actually grown so slowly.
The fruit pit that was thrown on the ground dug into the soil. Seale bent down and jumped over the treetops.
Just as he landed on the tree trunk, he suddenly froze.
He slowly stood up and looked around in disbelief.
He lowered his head and looked at his hand. The shape was unfamiliar.
He chuckled, laughed, and clenched his fists in ecstasy.
He looked around, trembling with excitement.
The undercurrent surged, suppressing and restraining, erupting and gushing.
Everything seemed to have stopped. Ten thousand trees were lush, but they were cut and withered, turning into fallen leaves. The autumn insects were originally noisy, but they could not speak, so they became silent cicadas in winter.
However, it was silent. The silence was oppressive.
He opened his arms and looked up at the sky.
Looking closely at his face, it wasn't hard to notice that under the ferocious expression, there was actually great joy. Endless.
Shout, shout, then shout, and then roar into the sky.
The condemned prisoners would break out of the prison, the trapped beasts would break out of the cage, and the madmen would no longer be bound. One day, they would regain their freedom and return to the world.
In this situation, even if it was heartbreaking, he should shout out.
Suddenly, Sai Er quivered and almost fell from the tree. He steadied his body and looked around blankly.
Just now, he was distracted again. He patted his head and shook it again. Saier was very confused. He felt very strange and really annoyed.
……
Saer stepped onto the path between the hills, strolling leisurely on the ridge of the fields, passing through the green vegetable gardens, welcoming the breeze, and reaching the top of the slope.
Seated by the abandoned canal, Seale looked up at the clear sky, his heart incomparably peaceful. Only the purity of nature could make people throw away their worries and feel comfortable.
There was a huge hole in the hillside in the distance. Seer looked over and could vaguely see the excavated vehicles and the formed concrete pier.
'It should be the road repairing team that Mom mentioned,' Seer guessed. He wondered if they were going to build a highway or a high bridge.
" Hey," the familiar voice made Saier turn around." What are you doing here?" Linda sat down beside her brother with a puffed up face." There's nothing to play with."”
" It's very quiet here." Sail looked at his sister and smiled." It's very comfortable to sit here."”
Linda didn't answer. Instead, she glanced at her younger brother who was looking up at the sky from the corner of her eye. She only felt that he was cute and obedient.
" You said I'm short." Linda looked away and pouted." You look like a girl."”
"Ah?" Saier scratched his head in confusion." Isn't everyone like this? Isn't Uncle more-"
" Come on, you're a human." Linda rolled her eyes. Sometimes, she found it hard to understand her cheap brother." Wood elves are born like this, you-"
" It will change in the future," Sail explained to her sister seriously." I'm still young. I'll grow taller and stronger in the future.”
" I'm still young." Linda followed suit and patted her chest." I'll grow up in the future."”
"Yes."
"Still sitting here? Go back."
"Let's wait a little longer, the wind is coming.”
A gentle breeze blew past the two small figures, gently blowing their slender hair. It was very pleasant.
Linda thought that it was really comfortable.
……
"You're back?" Alyssa, who felt the vines move and was warming up the food, knew that her son had returned." Why are you so early today?”
" Oh right, I left the books in your bedroom." Eliza poked her head out of the kitchen." The first row of the bookshelf. I moved the other books.”
"Mom, are you cooking?" Smelling the smell of oil smoke, Saier immediately became alert." Do you need my help?”
" Uh... It's nothing." Eliza looked at her son awkwardly." Karl prepared it. I just brought it back to warm it up..."
"..." Sail didn't know what to say. After his mother retracted her head and closed the kitchen door, she went straight back to the bedroom to read.
It's not bad to be like this every day, Seale thought.
Three days in the academy and two days at home. This kind of life was really beautiful-beautiful and comfortable.
