Chapter 122: Give Me a Cigarette
Du Ang was now frightened, for fear of hearing some bad news, but he also knew that what should have come would come after all, and there was no way to escape, and he couldn't learn from the ostrich who deceived himself, and when his head was buried in the sand, the sky collapsed, and nothing happened.
This kind of thing of covering his ears and stealing the bell, Du Ang can't do it.
He rushed over and opened the door in two steps, startling the little maid Lilia with a fierce look. "Less, young master......" Lilia noticed that Duang's eyes were now red.
"What happened to my father? Is he ......?" said Duang, who stopped saying half a sentence, and stared at Lilia, waiting for her to give her the final answer.
But Lilia's next words made Duon float from hell to heaven at once: "Count...... Lord Count, he's awake! ”
Wake up!
Awake?
Du Ang was stunned for a moment, and then he realized what Lilia meant, the originally tense psychological defense line relaxed almost instantly, and the huge sense of joy made Du Ang feel a feeling of dizziness.
Wake up!
That's great!
Duang rushed out without saying a word, and went straight to Count McNus's bedroom, just arrived in the corridor and met Chef Suarez, holding a shiny silver plate, which contained two fresh steaks and a bowl of steaming vegetable soup, Duon ran too fast and too excited, and suddenly bumped into Chef Suarez's body, almost knocking over the plate, Suarez staggered, and when he looked up again, Duang had already run out quite a long way.
My father woke up, and it was a big deal.
As for the rest, what steak, what soup, Duang has completely no care.
The door of Count McNuss's bedroom was tightly closed, and under normal circumstances, Duang had to knock on the door before coming in, but at this time, Duang didn't have time to think about those damn etiquette, so he opened the door very rudely and went in, and sure enough, he saw his father, Count McNuss, who had been unconscious before he was seriously injured, had now woken up and was leaning against the head of the bed, and the Countess was feeding him water with a spoon in her hand......
"Father!"
Seeing this situation, a big stone in Du Ang's heart finally fell to the ground, and the feeling was no less than the joy of the rest of his life after the catastrophe, and he was stunned for a moment, his throat and eyes were a little blocked, and the corners of his eyes were a little uncontrollably moist.
After the crisis, Du Ang finally knew that no matter how deliberately he deliberately ignored the existence of this father before, because of the blood inheritance, because blood is thicker than water, the role of the father is indispensable in his life after all.
Count McNus turned his face slightly, and when he saw that it was his son, a trace of warmth flashed in his eyes, and he smiled slightly, and said, "Boy, come and let me see." ”
Although he has woken up, but because the injuries on his body are too serious, and the fever has not completely subsided, Count McNus is still very weak, but in front of his son, no matter how cowardly the father is, he will become a fearless tough guy, although the voice of Count McNus is not loud, but it is as solemn and majestic as ever.
It's just that almost everyone present knows that he is ...... Deliberately pretended.
Duang opened his mouth.
It's strange, he thought for a long time before, once his father woke up, what should he say, what kind of reaction should he have, is it to comfort him and say that it's okay, your injuries will be fine, or that you have to take care of your injuries, how will I do in the future...... But at this time, a thousand words disappeared in an instant, Du Ang's mind was very complicated, but his mind was blank, saying, what to say? Du Ang opened his mouth a few times, but he didn't say a word.
He suddenly noticed that the corners of his eyes were a little moist, and he actually shed tears.
As a traverser, as a strange demon with two lifetimes of life experience, no one in this world can understand the profound meaning of the four words of life and death better than Du Ang. In the previous life, Duon had already lost once, his parents, brothers, friends, and even enemies had all disappeared like a cloud of smoke, never to be seen or heard again, and there was no trace left except for the yellowing memories in his mind.
Du Ang had sighed countless times in the silence of the night, but so what? He is now Duon, the only son of Count McNuss, a powerful minister of the Bauhinia Empire, and the future Lord Earl, Duon? McNus, he's just who he is now, not someone who was once on Earth.
What has been lost has been lost, and what is existing should be cherished, and it is precisely because of this that Duang will care more and cherish the warm family affection in front of him more.
Although Duon deliberately avoided Count McNuss in his heart because of the sensitivity of the word "father" before, but now, he has understood that no matter how much he avoids it, Count McNus is also his own relative and his father in this world.
Yes, father, give yourself a new life, and let yourself be a man who lives without food and clothing.
Duang already understood, in his own heart, the weight of this man.
Although it is not as vivid and specific as the mother, it is still very heavy, very heavy......
What does it mean to be dead to know how important, and what is it to be drunk to know that the wine is strong? To be able to live again, this is the grace of God, Du Ang clenched tightly, wanting to grasp everything he could, he didn't want to taste that heartbreaking taste of life and death anymore, he didn't want to, he didn't want to!
That kind of inhuman torture and pain, once, is enough!
Duang burst into tears.
Seeing that Count McNuss was no longer unconscious, no longer dying, Duon felt joy from the bottom of his heart.
He walked over to Count McNuss's bedside and crouched down.
Looking at the bloodstained bandages on his father's head, his salallow complexion, his sunken cheeks, and the messy beard that had not had time to be tidied up for several days, Duang felt very uncomfortable. But Count McNus laughed: "Come, let me see my little magician, oh, hehe, this magic robe is very awesome on your body, hey, boy, you are all magicians and you are crying like this, are you not afraid that others will laugh at you?" Hurry up, wipe your tears, what does crying look like? ”
For his only son, although Count McNus is very strict on the surface, he is still very loving in his heart.
At this time, Laura also followed into the house, and when she saw Count McNuss awake, she also felt a sense of relief, according to the etiquette of the nobles, Laura half-squatted ** to salute Count McNuss: "Hello, Lord Count." ”
Laura's voice is very sweet, but she came directly from the ring, and she was still wearing light armor, and other aristocratic girls would pull the corners of their skirts with both hands when they saluted and squatted again, which was very good-looking, but Laura now had no place to put her two hands, so she held it like that, which looked very weird.
However, Count McNus is not so particular, his years of military career make him very rough in terms of etiquette, he just laughs when he sees Duon, and when he sees Laura, he insists on sitting up straight: "Ah, it's Laura, right?" I haven't seen you for a few years, and they've grown so big, come on, let me see...... Ho, what a pretty little girl! ”
Count McNus turned his head to Marquis Solomon, who was sitting next to him, and said, "My son is very blessed! ”
"My daughter's blessing is not shallow!"
"Hey......
"Hey......
The two old men smiled with a narrow face, looked at each other, and the two ladies were also full of softness, although they didn't say it explicitly, but the meaning of the words could be understood as long as the IQ was more than 50.
Duang was fine, but his face was slightly red, and it was fleeting, but Laura was already blushing and about to wring out the water.
At this moment, a servant suddenly knocked on the door and came in, saying that the eldest prince Powell was coming. As a representative of His Majesty the Emperor, Charles XVI, he came to visit the wounded Count McNuss.
This is a terrible thing.
Who is Powell? The eldest son of His Majesty the Emperor Charles XVI, the heir to the throne, waited until Charles XVI returned to heaven a hundred years later, and this is the ruler of a country that reigns over the world.
When they heard that he was coming, all but Earl McNuss, who was bedridden and could not get up, went out to greet him, and after saluting, they let Powell into the house as if the stars were holding the moon.
Powell, forty-three years old, is in good health, in the prime of life, and is notoriously energetic among the members of the imperial family, with a Chinese face, thick eyebrows, and small but bright eyes.
As the eldest son of His Majesty the Emperor, he was raised according to the standards of the heir to the throne since he was a child, and received the best education, whether it was in speech or demeanor, he had a natural, noble temperament of a superior person.
Powell sat at the head of Count McNuss's bed, first conveyed to him His Majesty's sincere greetings and good wishes for his early recovery, and then he inquired in his personal capacity about Count McNuss's injuries and generally about the ins and outs of the whole matter and how it developed.
After the necessary process was completed, and a few more painless gossip, Powell turned his head to look at Marquis Solomon, and his eyes flashed.
The Marquis of Solomon was an old man, and immediately understood that the eldest prince Powell had some private things to say to Count McNus that could not be heard by outsiders, so he took his leave with great interest.
When he left, the Marquise Solomon and Laura naturally could not stay, and they also said goodbye and left together, and when they left, Laura said to Duon: "Look for me in the trial illusion!" ”
Duang nodded.
Count McNus waved his hand, all the servants withdrew, and the Countess and Duon were about to get up and leave, but at this time, Powell said to Duon: "Duon, stay for a while, don't go yet." ”
Looking at Duang's puzzled expression, Powell smiled slightly and said to Duang: "Are there any cigarettes?" Bring me one, I was in too much of a hurry when I came out, and I forgot to bring it. (To be continued.) )
