Chapter 62: Father and Son (1)
"I'm glad you looked. β
Just as Lird was laughing, Jim had come out of the tent and laughed as much as he saw it.
Lird nodded unabashedly, and then said, "The night here is very beautiful. β
Jim looked up at the starry night sky and couldn't help but be intoxicated, and couldn't help but sigh, "It's really beautiful, it's really a long time since I've seen this starry sky." β
"For some reason, I always feel like there are more stars here than in San Francisco," laughs at Lird. β
Jim also smiled: "There are so many stars, there is no eccentricity, but there are too many impurities in the atmosphere above the United States, so that some stars with a little light cannot be seen here." β
Lird nodded with deep feeling, and then couldn't help but sigh: "The development of science and technology and industry promotes the development of human society, but unconsciously the price paid by human beings is also increasing, I don't know if one day we will be able to see these stars when we raise our heads." β
Jim said: "Whether the stars are there or not, they don't care about them in people's hearts, and in the eyes of many people they are just elegant things that consume leisure." β
Lird sighed and said, "Perhaps, I like the sea very much, but sometimes I imagine that this vast starry sky is not a 'sea'?"
Jim laughed and said, "It's not so easy to conquer this sea, at least no one has ever succeeded in it since ancient times." β
In this regard, Lird is very confident: "It will be successful in the end, and I believe that it is only a matter of the world." Jim shrugged his shoulders noncommittally and said: "In the world, in the world, too many people leave things to the world, and it is true that the world is a major factor in verifying and solving everything, but we can't rely too much on time, because many times we don't have that much time on our hands." β
Lird naturally heard the deep meaning of Jim's words, and stared at Jim, but Jim did not continue to say anything on this topic, just shook his head and smiled: "I really drank too much tonight, not much and have fun! Come, I will send you to your residence now, you have been traveling long distances for the past month, and you can finally sleep well tonight." β
Led by Jim, Lird was soon taken to his makeshift facility, a tent not far from Jim's house, presumably for the convenience of the two of them.
Walking into the tent, Jim lit the lamp in the dark, and Lird took the opportunity to see the environment inside the tent, the inside of the tent was very large, but it was a little smaller than the tent where his father Pym was, the bedding and furniture used were in new condition, and they looked clean, and they could smell a faint fragrance when they sniffed carefully.
Jim shook his head and said, "You can rest here, I won't bother you, I'll come to you for breakfast tomorrow morning, and then get acquainted with this place." With that, Jim departed.
After sending Jim away, Lird settled down in the tent, and he did feel very tired after a long day's work, and when he lay down on the mattress, he felt extremely relaxed, as if every pore on his body had been stretched and rejuvenated.
However, even with such fatigue, Lird was still very energetic and could not sleep for a while.
What I have experienced today is really too many and complicated, and all kinds of things are circling in his mind and lingering.
Lird got up and put his hand into his backpack, took out a pen and notebook from it, and lay down on the mattress to write, he wanted to write down his experience today and analyze it at the same time.
However, when the word "Atlantis" appeared in his notebook, Lird could no longer write it down, and he did not know what words to use to describe it, as if neither one was accurate.
This people, who once existed in ancient mysteries, suddenly appeared beside him, and he was going to live here tonight and spend not a short time with him. In Lird's eyes, they were ordinary people, self-sufficient and self-sufficient, who had no problems other than the troubles caused by war.
But the reality is not as simple as he seems, Jim has not clearly explained anything to him from beginning to end, and he has also made it clear that there is a secret guarded in this tribe, and this secret is obviously not some ordinary treasure, and his father directly told himself that he saw the power of God in this Atlantean remnant.
Lird's intuition of these immediate clues formed a looming web, and he was gradually sinking deeper into the whole net.
As he thought about it, a thick sense of fatigue began to hit the top of Liard's head, and his eyelids became heavier and heavier, and soon he was weakly shaking his hands and falling asleep.
On the inside pages of the notebook, there are no associative characters or gazes next to the word Atlantis, only a large question mark drawn indiscriminately in sleep.
...
By the time Lird woke up, it was already the dawn of the next day, and he was awakened by the crisp shouts outside.
Perhaps because of being in a different place, Liard's sleep nerves have become a little fragile, and he is easily woken up by the outside world.
Gritting his teeth and twisting his stiff neck, Lird realized that he had not fallen asleep in a good sleeping position, causing all the joints of his body to swell and pain, which made Lird quite bitter.
After finally getting up from the bed and moving around the open ground, Jim's loud voice sounded outside the tent: "Are you up?"
Lird answered, and Jim walked in with a grin. Unlike the distressed Lird, Jim's face was full of red light, and he seemed to be in good spirits.
Jim walked up to Lird, patted him on the shoulder, and said, "How was your rest last night?"
Lird said against his will: "Not bad. β
Jim didn't notice what was wrong with Lird, and nodded with satisfaction, "Well, come, come with me, and then go to my place for breakfast!"
Now that Lird is in this alien race, he can only listen to Jim's arrangement, and immediately grab his own toiletries and go out with Jim.
The place of washing is a mountain spring, which is left by the stone crevices in the surrounding mountains and eventually flows into the branches of the Ganges.
There were more than a dozen people who had also come to wash along the short spring, all of whom greeted Jim warmly when they saw him, and at the same time nodded to Lird, who found in their eyes the look he had found in Raqqa's eyesβrespect.
Of course, all this is because I think I am a father.
After washing, Lird followed Jim to his house, Trista had prepared a hearty breakfast, and after a brief exchange of pleasantries, he sat down and began to eat, and while Lird said to Jim, "Can I visit my father in a moment?"
Jim stuffed his mouth with food, and said, "Of course, no problem! You see that Mr. Pym is a matter of course, why should I give permission? After a while I will go with you to visit Mr. Pym, and by the way bring some of Trista's cakes, for Mr. Pym to taste." β
After breakfast, and after a brief tidying up, the two set off again for Pym's tent, where a young girl came out of the tent, and Jim greeted him and talked to him. After the girl was gone, Jim said to Lird, "That girl is our sacrifice to the people around us, and she just came to feed Mr. Pym some medicinal porridge, and she said that Mr. Pym is in quite good shape today, both in complexion and in his voice, and it seems that your arrival has made Mr. Pym very happy." β
Leard was also overjoyed to hear this, and immediately walked into the tent with Jim.
Jim chatted briefly with Pym in the tent, as he had done before, and after serving the pastries made by his wife Trista, he made an excuse to hide, leaving the place for father and son.
As the girl said just now, Pym looked very good today, as if most of the pain on his body had subsided overnight, and the temperament of the whole person had changed.
After Jim left, Pym smiled at Lird first, "How was your rest last night?"
In the face of his father Liard, he didn't tell the truth, he still smiled and said very well to Pym, and Pym did not have the slightest doubt, and said with a long sigh of relief: "This place is indeed very refreshing, and staying here for a long time is very good for the body." β
"That's true. Lird agreed.
Pym smiled and said, "But maybe it will get boring after a long time, after all, the bustling life in the city will be more fascinating." No matter how charming the night sky and moonscape are, there are no bright lights, wine and wine, radio and dance to attract people's hearts. β
Lird laughed, "So you miss that life now?"
"Believe me," said Pym, "I have been lying on a hospital bed for so long, and I yearn for any kind of life where I can move freely on the ground." β
At this point, Lird's expression was a little heavy, and even though he had not given up the idea of persuading his father to leave here, he still couldn't understand that neither Jim nor his father had said that he could not leave here.
Pym seemed to sense what was on his son's mind, so he said to Lird, "But things are not completely absolute, a bad old man like me has gone through a lot of life and has seen through those things. β
Lird smiled and said, "There are some things that people can never see, just like Grandmother Marge, who still loves to listen to the radio even when she is old." β
Pym smiled and nodded, "yes, yes, I've been very sorry for your grandmother in my life, and the only decent gift I've ever given her is that radio." β
"It's a pity that we didn't take it with us when we left Poland, but left it at home," said Lird. β
Pym shrugged his shoulders and said, "What are you doing with such bulky things, saving your life is the most important thing at that time." β
Lird sighed: "Yes, the most important thing is to save my life, and I can say that my grandmother has done a lot for me." My grandmother, who had been away from Poland for more than two years, had not listened to the radio, and although Mr. Wyatt had a radio at his disposal, the signals he received were all in the American band, and my grandmother did not understand English and did not understand the series of readings, which was eventually her greatest preference was abandoned. β
The expression on Pym's face darkened, and Lird's description evoked more and more guilt and longing for his mother.
Lird had noticed his father's strangeness at this time, so he changed the subject: "That... I've been thinking about what you said yesterday for a long time, and although I have figured it out a lot, there are still many things that I can't understand. β
Pym smiled and said, "If there is anything confusing, just ask, I will know everything." β
Lird said: "We will not leave aside the truth of what you said about the Atlantean clan, but I am curious if you can tell me more about the power you are talking about. β
Pym said, "What you are curious about is the key to the core of this famous family. Leard smiled and waited for his father's reply.
However, Pym did not answer Lird's question immediately, but looked at him earnestly and said, "Son, now I want to ask you a question. β
"You... Can you trust it?"
...
Pym's words fluttered and swirled around the tent like a butterfly, never disappearing.
Lird also looked at his father with wide eyes and was quite surprised, not knowing what to say, and said a little incredulously: "You... What do you say?"
Pym smiled: "Child, I hope you don't have to be too careful, I naturally believe in you unconditionally, every parent in this world will believe unconditionally in his child, but this matter is a little different..."
Pym paused, quickly organized the words in his head, and said, "Many things are related to the fate of this ancient tribe, especially in this era of war, and its danger is more than other times. β
Lird did not expect his father to be so cautious and serious in this matter.
After a moment of silence, Lird said with the same seriousness: "Father, I am trustworthy. β
Pym nodded, and then said, "Are you ready to know all the truths, and once you know all this, it's hard to get out of touch with these things." β
Liard's eyes unconsciously appeared in front of his eyes the great net that he had imagined last night, and now this great net of fantasy was about to envelop him.
But even so, Lird reacted quickly, nodding resolutely to his father.
Pym stared at his son for a long time, and then a smile of relief appeared on his face, as if he was satisfied with Lird's answer and attitude.
"So... Let me tell you some truth about what happened here, but of course not all the truth about what I'm told... As for the rest of the truth... It's up to you to explore and discover on your own. β
