Christians from the Roman Kingdom had a rule of meditation and prayer before every meal, and Alexander Sr. and his party were no exception.

"Bless us, God, and the food we eat, and all the goodness. Because of our Lord, Amen. ”

Every time the Romans closed their eyes and prayed earnestly, I would pass by Yamika with a food box for delivery.

Or tug at the ribbon in her hair, or pat her on the back.

Every now and then, Amika was so frightened that she nervously put her index finger to her mouth as a silent warning, and then she quickly returned to her praying state.

It wasn't until her father opened his eyes after praying and waved his big hand to announce the start of the meal that Yamika took the opportunity to turn around and give me an angelic smile from afar.

Lost in my soul, I immediately felt like I had sniffed a "happy plant", and instantly regained my radiant state.

Every abnormal behavior I have taken in the past few days has not escaped my mother's eyes.

One evening, after a busy day's work, my mother called me into the study.

"Jin Cheng, what's wrong with you these days? Mr. said that you haven't memorized your morning class for several days, and you don't go to practice, and you look shocked all day long, is it uncomfortable? ”

When I got to the study, my mother was already there, holding the hookah that the Sassanid merchant had given her!

Her mother was not yet thirty years old at the time, and her father's departure from home was a great blow to her.

The originally bright and capable face was prematurely covered with vicissitudes.

And such vicissitudes can not be seen by family members and merchants, and she has to dress up a graceful and elegant appearance outside during the day.

In fact, this kind of life is very tiring, and I can already feel the hard work of my mother just after the year of bundling my hair.

So usually in front of my mother, I am the most sensible and obedient eldest son, and I never do anything to disobey her.

"Grandma, I was wrong."

In front of my mother, I didn't need to hide anything, I was ashamed to stand in front of her and wait for his fate.

"There's nothing wrong with liking beautiful women, and I like that girl named Yamika. But people are passing gentles, and the family affairs are not clear, and the source is unknown, so you had better not provoke others, otherwise it will bring endless disasters to you and our family, and your father is a living example! ”

My mother put down the hookah and stood up and helped me straighten my messy collar.

"The child knows it's wrong." I felt guilty in front of my mother, and I felt that liking other girls was a betrayal of her.

"My bear son, the little doll's family is thinking about his daughter-in-law! Okay, tomorrow I will ask someone to find a family affair for you in the royal city, no matter whose daughter's daughter, as long as you can match it, no matter how many dowry grandma you are willing to give! ”

My mother hugged me lovingly and smiled happily.

In her eyes, it is not a sin at all for her proud eldest son to have a favorite woman, but a happy event, because her son is about to grow up.

"Be careful in the future, if you let grandpa and grandpa know what you did, they have to peel your skin!"

Before leaving the study, my mother didn't forget to take out the killer weapon and beat me hard.

This trick is really powerful, no matter how big it is, it is a trivial matter to the mother.

But if it is passed to grandpa and grandfather, it is not a matter of taking a few rings in the palm of your hand, it is to open the skin and flesh.

But everyone knows the temper of the two old men, and when Aisun is punished, he will inevitably be angry with others.

Especially the guy who ventilated the news, there is absolutely no good fruit to eat.

Over time, no matter what kind of naughty things the three of us brothers did at home, none of the adults and children dared to go to these two old men to pay tribute to the "slander".

When they asked, the results they got were all "good", "very sensible", and "very serious".

Therefore, I can rest assured that all the bad deeds that I have been harassing Amika in the past few days, unless I expose myself in the future, will not reach my grandfather's ears.

Young boys and girls who are at the beginning of their love, once they have each other in their hearts, they will never forget it, and they will be uncomfortable to jump off the building if they don't see each other for a while.

There are no clouds in the "Book of Songs" that Mr. asked to recite: I don't see it for a day, like three autumns.

The ancients of Middle-earth are still like this, not to mention the young master of the Yi family who has seen all the wind and moon in the world in my "Qingfengze" inn.

A day later, I forgot all the vows I had made in front of my mother, and together with Kamia, in front of her father, Alexander Sr., I played a game of secret send-off.

I threw myself into the peach's adventurous teasing, and Kamiya reciprocated with Li's longing and nostalgia, which made me fall into it and couldn't extricate myself.

Unfortunately, the good times were short-lived, and Alexander's caravan was soon on its way again.

This also means that from now on, Yamika and I may be separated from each other again, and we will never see each other again.

And so far, this exotic woman and I can only look at each other affectionately, and we haven't even spoken a few words, let alone have other skin kisses, which is really sad!

The night before Old Alexander and his party were about to leave for the north, Yamika suddenly cried out in pain in bed out of nowhere.

Immediately afterwards, vomiting and diarrhea, the whole person is like a flower that is about to wither.

This frightened her father into silp, and the eight-foot-long man came to my mother crying, fell to his knees and tugged at the hem of her coat and howled, "Dear Mrs. Khotan, go and save my Kamiya!" She's dying! I only have one relative! ”

The two Romans who came with him hurriedly helped their leader up, but the man could not stop howling in the sky.

It's really a man who doesn't flick when he has tears, but he hasn't reached the sad place!

Over the years, there have been more than a hundred caravans sent to Rome in the inn, and their mother has generally understood the language.

So even though there was no interpreter present, the mother understood the reason why old Alexander was so sad.

His baby daughter was sick, and it was a very serious illness all of a sudden.

It was later learned that Alexander Sr.'s caravan had come ashore from the Mediterranean Sea and had passed through a Canaanite village where the plague was endemic.

So what he was most worried about was that his daughter was infected with such a plague, and if that was the case, there would be no chance of Yamika surviving.

And this secret cannot be mentioned to anyone in our inn, otherwise he and all his entourage will be quarantined and driven away.

"Don't be sad, Mr. Alexander, the big things in the breeze will be borne by Mrs. Ben for you!"

The mother comforted sincerely, while instructing the men around her to hurry up and prepare the car, and go to Wangcheng to invite the best doctor to come over.

By the time the royal physician arrived, Amika's illness had ceased and she fell asleep.

After some consultation, the imperial doctor came to the conclusion that Amika was fine, and that it might have been caused by eating unclean food or occasionally experiencing a cold.

As long as you have enough rest and careful recuperation, your body will slowly recover.

Old Alexander and his mother breathed a sigh of relief, but with it came trouble.

If the caravan stayed in Qingfengze and waited for Amika to fully recover before departing, it would already be early winter when it arrived in Middle-earth, which meant that it would not be able to return until next spring.

The maximum period agreed between Alexander and the benefactor of his trip was only one year, and if he violated this agreement, he could face a huge claim from the funder when he returned to Rome.

Or from now on, no nobleman will sponsor him to go to sea, and his life will be played.

Despite the elder Alexander's repeated pleas, the compassionate bodhisattva heart of the Buddhists prevailed, despite his mother's misgivings.

Promised that Amika would stay in the "Qingfengze" and be taken care of by her, and that she would be picked up after Alexander's caravan returned from Middle-earth.

Alexander led his caravan with great gratitude, and reluctantly left Qingfengze.
