Chapter 297: Homecoming (3)
Rien went home, back to his half-year-old home, the place he had sworn to protect.
The loyal sled dog Bard was lying in front of the house and shook his head, smelled his scent, and with two "Wang" sounds, the girl jumped up to him and rubbed his knee affectionately.
The majestic thoroughbred Arthur poked his head out of the stable, and Herod snorted.
"Bard, Arthur, I'm back."
"Wang~"
"Herod~"
This scene was repeated countless times, but Lane did not get bored at all, only felt warm - because this was home, his home.
"I'm relieved to see that you're still so healthy. I'll go see Mom and Dad first, and I'll play with you later. ”
Pushing open the door, father Teo and mother Lucia stood in the hallway as before, waiting for their son to come home.
"Welcome back, Ryne."
"Dad, Mom, the unfilial son Li En is back." Lane stepped forward and gave her parents a hug.
There is an old saying in China: When your parents are here, you don't travel far. Lai En has been running around since he was twelve years old, and he has been away from home for most of the year, and he is an out-and-out unfilial son. No matter what it is for, no matter how important the reason, unfilial piety is unfilial piety.
"Hehe, it's good to come back, it's good to come back." Mother's expression is still so gentle.
"Children will always leave their parents' wings, you are just a little early." My father's smile was still as generous.
"Dad, Mommy" Li En's heart was warm, almost overflowing the corners of his eyes.
"Dad, Mom, is my brother back?" Elyse, who heard the voice, ran down from upstairs, and when she saw a family of three hugging her, she pouted, "Mom and Dad are too cunning." My brother, who I obviously endured in front of everyone, I want to hug me too! ”
"Okay, okay." Li En doted on Elyse and spun around, "It's such a big person, and it's like a child." ”
"It's natural for my sister to be spoiled by my brother, even if it will be another ten years. In twenty years, I will also be spoiled to my brother! "This is Elyse's manifesto.
"Ahh Lucia quipped, "Why aren't other things as frank as they are now?" Otherwise, I can rest assured. ”
"Mom!" Elysée didn't follow the way.
"Anyway, the family is here, let's talk slowly while drinking tea." Te'o smiled and closed the door.
"Okay." Li En nodded happily, and drinking tea and chatting is also a reserved program at home.
"I'm sure I'm going to listen to the Academy."
"Mom, I've said it many times on my phone."
"Then listen to that, too. It's not like it's face-to-face, and it always feels a little unreal. So, dear~The topic of hunting, you can stop in moderation~"
Lucia tilted her head and squinted her eyes to make Te'o obedient.
"I'll take notice."
"Dad, tomorrow my classmates and I will go hunting in the mountains with you, and then we will have a good time."
"When the time comes, let them see how good I am." Te'o laughed.
"You're going out hunting today, I see the sweat stains on Arthur's body haven't dried yet."
"Hmm. It's rare for the kids to come home. Moreover, my son and his classmates also received a commendation from His Majesty the Emperor. At the very least, I'll have to prepare some of Youmer's specialties to entertain you. ”
"Everybody's going to be happy."
"Come on in, I'll make you tea right away, and wait in the living room for a while." Lucia, the highest in the family, interrupted the father-son conversation
"Huh? All the books that the teacher left me? How did I not know? In the living room, Lane was full of surprise.
Just a minute earlier, Te'o had handed him a pair of stubs. The two words on the envelope - all are transmitted. Judging by the color of the paper, I am afraid that it has been a long time.
"This was a year ago. The teacher sent it to our house. Te'o explained, "I said that I would let you settle for a year and then hand it over to you." ”
"After a year of precipitation, the teacher is afraid that I will be so ambitious, and I just know how to run, so I want to fly." Rien probably guessed the teacher's thoughts. "Having said that, if you teach me everything in a year, is the teacher confident in his vision? You still have faith in my understanding. ”
"I must have faith in my brother's understanding! Brother, you are the best! ”
Looking at Elyse's cute appearance, the father and son laughed. Theo said, "Elysée said so, Riene, you have to work harder." ”
"Brother, open it and see what Teacher Yun has written." Elysée urged.
Dawn opened the envelope and slowly unfolded the stub axis. There is only one word on the short axis - yes.
You can read a word without a second, but Li En seemed to be stunned, and his eyes were fixed on the word "yes":
"I was awarded the seventh type of 'nothing', but the scroll of the biography that the teacher gave me said 'yes', which is to hope that I understand the way of existence and non-existence?"
"I understand that there is nothing, and there is no reason to have, but what is there and what is nothing? Where is the boundary between the two? ”
"Is the no-man's land that I comprehended a little bit touched? No one, nothing but me"
"Push it down according to this line of thought, with or without a knife? Tricks or no tricks? ”
"Wait, isn't this the exact opposite of what the teacher said before? The teacher said that it was completely different whether he held a knife or not, was the teacher lying to me?
"No, it's impossible, Yanie and Laura must also rely on the weapons in their hands to show their full strength."
"So, am I wrong? Or is it that there is no knife in this and no knife in the other? ”
"Brother"
"Brother"
"Brother!"
"Sorry, distracted." His sister's call finally brought Rien back to his senses, and when he looked up, he found that only he and Elyse were left in the living room, "Where's Dad?" ”
"I was called to the kitchen by my mother, and it seems that the lid of the teapot can't be opened."
"It looks like I'll be able to drink my mother's tea soon, but I haven't drunk it in a long time." The most memorable taste is always the taste of home. For Lane, the tea made by her mother is the taste of home, and even if the times change, it will be engraved in the depths of her soul.
"So, don't think about esoteric questions, you also said that this kind of thing can't be rushed."
"yes, that's right." Lane sighed slightly. That being said, but the thought of the imminent civil war gave him an inexplicable sense of urgency.
"Brother." A small hand gently pressed his eyebrows, "Don't frown all the time, your forehead is stiff, and your shoulders are so stiff, brother, relax, I'll give you a push." ”
"It's been a long time." Li En leaned back slightly, his eyes nostalgic, "I don't know if your craftsmanship is rusty." ”
"Why, no, I've been practicing,ah" Finding that she had slipped her mouth, Elyse looked a little flustered, "Total, in short, there is absolutely no rustiness, brother, you can rest assured." ”
"Then please." Rien said, closing his eyes.
"Well, leave it to me." Elysée stared at her brother's face and spoke softly
"Brother, are you comfortable?"
"Hmm"
"Would you like to be heavier?"
"No, that's fine."
"Brother, you can rest at home tonight."
"Of course, but I have to eat with everyone."
"Ah, then when I'm done with tea, I'll go and help my brother make the bed." (Are you sure it's not a warm bed?) )
"It's okay, I'll do it myself."
"Don't! Brother, you have to entertain your classmates, and I will take care of this little thing. ”
"Not really"
"Just ask!" Elysée suddenly increased the strength in her hand, "Or is there something hidden in your room that I can't see, brother?" ”
"Not really." Actually, there is, but Elyse can't understand it, it's all written in simplified Chinese characters, "Okay, since you're so caring, I'll leave it to you." ”
"Well, leave it to me." Elysée pressed to her brother's ear like a wife's whisper in her husband's ear
Outside the living room door, Lucia, who was carrying a teapot, whispered to her husband, "What do you think, honey?" ”
"I'm afraid Elyse is planning to stick to Rien for the rest of her life." Te'o sighed, "I used to always worry that Elysée would become strangers to Rien after she knew the truth, but now it's time to worry about another question?" ”
"Well, if Lane marries that child, all problems will be solved." - Mom, well done, a good assist.
"Hmm~ Although Li En is also my proud son, my daughter will not be handed over to him so easily." Hear me, it's that simple? That is, it means to hand it over after a little difficulty--Dad, your attitude is also very powerful.
"Kid dad, you're so childish." Lucia glanced at her husband, "However, Lane's womanhood is inevitably too good. Lixia, Yanirath, Liebel, and the female classmates who heard about the academy are all very cute. What the future will look like, no one knows. ”
"The future? Hopefully, the children living in this empire will be able to seize the future they seek. ”
This is a father's prayer to his son, and an elder who cares about the empire to all young people.
PS: The dialogue between Lucia and Te'o is basically the original words of the radio drama, which shows that the adoptive father and adoptive mother are indeed assisted by God. Here, Rong Gang Shao said the voice of the majority of book friends: Why don't my parents do this?
PS2: In the original world line, Rien is still confused about himself and the future, so he uses the excuse of collective action not living at home, which makes Elyse very unhappy. Now that Li En is no longer confused, he will not let his home live and live outside. Moreover, it is only a few minutes away from Shu Huaze's house to the Phoenix Wing Pavilion, so it is impossible to delay the group activities.
PS3: During the internship in the Imperial Capital, Elliot lived at home, not with Lane and the Guerrilla Society. (To be continued.) )
