Chapter 13: The Love of Parents
The Sauron River lies silently, facing the golden ripples reflected in the setting sun.
The iron bridge spanning the river is a railroad bridge with railroad tracks on the upper level, and the lower level is a passage for people and horses.
After crossing the river, the extraordinary walked downstream along the river, and there were chrysanthemums on the side of the road, green meadows, and a small forest composed of a dozen or so trees, large or small.
With the replay of memories in the extraordinary mind, the happy and carefree life of the whole childhood is like a picture scroll from yesterday, which can be touched.
Looking back at the sky, the extraordinary thought of the shadow flying to the heavens, wanted to stop, but the pace was much faster, and when he wanted to turn back, he vaguely saw the home by the river.
The two-story stone building has a chimney on one side that slowly emits green smoke. The grey-white and black faΓ§ade is in line with the main colors of the folk architecture of the Kingdom of Orlanto. On the side of the house near the river, there is a small waterwheel that rotates slowly, and there is a stable next to the waterwheel.
Every time my father bought the newly harvested rye flour in the autumn, my mother would make her favorite spiral bread during the autumn harvest festival.
"Extraordinary!"
"Son!"
It's like when my mother called out to play outside when I was a child, and I forgot the time to come home, and I heard the cries of my parents in my ears.
Following the call, Extraordinary saw a man and a woman standing in front of the gate of the small courtyard.
The gray-white hair, handsome look, and brown eyes should be his father, Cordo Corsay.
And the woman next to her with long blond hair, blue eyes, a wide-brimmed hat, a long dress, and a leather tunic is her mother, Cordo Jacqueline.
Extraordinary nose sour, eyes instantly red. His legs seemed to be filled with Mithril and he couldn't lift them.
The faint guilt in my heart made the extraordinary mouth burst out of a phrase of greeting.
I didn't have time to find a way to alleviate my embarrassment, but I found that my body was light, and I was hugged by my parents in the arms of the two.
"Oh, my poor extraordinary little fellow, how have you lost weight in the last month?
Jacqueline, who was concerned, looked her son up and down left and right, and twisted one hand a few times on his extraordinary face.
Extraordinary was at a loss by this sudden arrival of maternal love, and his face was embarrassed.
"Stop, Jacqueline, you're blushing your extraordinary face, he's a big boy. β
The father, Kosai, patted his mother's hand and looked at his son with a smile.
It wasn't until dinner time that Extraordinary, who was sitting at the table, got up to take the food from his mother, and was halfway up when he was pressed back to the seat by his father's strong hands.
The temperature on a spring night is still a little low, and I don't think it is in the association, but it is a little cold at home.
Cordo Corsay picked the wood from the fireplace, and the sparks scattered, and the room instantly warmed up.
After eating a dinner ten times more than the association, reflecting the light of the candles, Extraordinary looked at his mother who was cleaning up the dishes, and his father who was sitting on a bench in front of the fireplace waving, and Extraordinary felt really warm in his heart.
Father and son were chatting about this, and it was not until the mother finished cleaning up the housework that the family of three officially chatted about the extraordinary life in the Insurers Association.
"What? extraordinary, you said you are already a junior insurance officer, and you have mastered the basic storage skills of space?"
The life of the association of extraordinary chats is unremarkable.
The father looked sorry for Sissel Ruth's weirdness, and the mother laughed when she heard the antics of the fat thief.
It wasn't until Extraordinary said that he was already a certified junior insurer that Cordo Corsay was truly surprised and asked.
And Cordo Jacqueline also had a surprised expression, covering her mouth with her hands in disbelief.
Extraordinary knows how unique his personality is, maybe his parents really don't think they will become a junior insurer, or maybe they don't think they will become a junior insurer so quickly.
"Yes, my father, and I have received more commissions as a junior insurer, and of course my salary is much higher than that of a trainee. β
As he spoke, he took out a money bag from his clothes, shook it open, and more than 10 gold coins jumped onto the tea table in front of him.
"Oh, by the way, father and mother", Fei Fei looked at his shocked parents, took out a few more insurance contracts, and continued: "There are still a few insurance contracts here, you two have signed them too."
"These insurance contracts cover everything from accidents to medical and pension benefits, so that your son will not be by your side in the future, and he will not have a bad life due to illness and old age."
"Well, I'll add an additional deposit every year. β
A complete set of movements, extraordinary and smooth. Take out the silver needle and prick it with each parent.
The figurative image of the scales dissipated in the air, and the Cordo couple recovered from the shock.
Until late in the evening, when the parents were pushed into the bedroom to rest, the Cordo couple did not inquire about the origin of the gold coins.
Back in his bedroom, he looked at the room where he had slept for almost eighteen years.
The layout of the bedroom is very ordinary, a single bed, judging by the smell of the sun emanating from the quilt, it should be that my mother has just sunburned today.
Behind the door hung a riding spear, a square wooden shield, and a wand made of wisteria. Of course, they are all teenagers' toys.
A small desk is placed under the semicircular window, the curtains are open, and sitting on the small rattan chair in front of the desk, extraordinary drawer by drawer pull switch pull switch pull switch, like looking at your own memory.
If you like it, open it and take a look, and if you don't like it, close it.
On the other side, in the bedroom of the Cordow couple, there was still a tense exchange.
"I've just seen it with the True Eye, and the extraordinary doesn't look like it's been enchanted or hypnotized, and there's no trace of a puppeteer's manipulation. At first I was terrified, thinking I had been discovered. β
Jacqueline said as she looked cautiously at the bedroom door.
Corsai stroked his wife's face and said with a deep look in his eyes, "Jacqueline, don't worry. Sissel's territory is not big or small, we have been hiding here for eighteen years, it is not for nothing, don't let your heart be disturbed. β
"Yes, these eighteen years are the most reassuring and happiest eighteen years I have ever had, thank you, my love. β
Jacqueline grabbed Kosai's hand with her backhand and stroked her hand, and said affectionately.
"But with the Duke, he's your father after all, Jacqueline. β
"Say no more, Kosai, he was no longer my father when he killed our daughter. It is better to be a noble lady than to be a commoner woman. β
The hearts of the past have not been smoothed out with the passage of time, but have become more unforgettable.
As for the extraordinary conversion, the couple believed that the priesthood was educational, and for this reason they were ready to invite Priest Radona to their son's small coming-of-age family gathering at the age of eighteen.
There was no more sound in his parents' room, and he lay down on the bed and entered the golden space to check the progress of his mission.
In addition to the five deeds of 1,000 dinars that have been completed, the number of deeds that the priest gave himself today is also counted, plus two copies from his parents.
Extraordinary was very angry, the insurance that the priest bought for himself was counted as a task progress, why did he buy several insurance contracts for his parents and only count them as two copies for himself.
The golden contract coldly displayed 8/10, and Extraordinary calculated the whereabouts of the last two insurance contracts, and happily fell asleep.
Early the next morning, the father and son picked up the fishing rod after breakfast, and the former extraordinary was very fond of fishing.
The spring morning was a little cool, but I couldn't resist the enthusiasm of the father and son for fishing.
At this moment, a knight roared in the distance ahead, riding his horse.
"Mr. Cordo Corsay, I beg your pardon for bothering you during the break, but Lord Baron Sissel asks you to come to the mansion for a moment. β
When the knight had finished speaking, he put his feet in the belly of the horse, and turned back from the way he came.
Extraordinary looked at his father shrugging helplessly, and he didn't care about the stall hand, and the two cleaned up and returned home.
Mother Jacqueline was playing in the flower garden in the small yard, looking at her husband and son who came back so soon, and the tacit understanding of many years made her realize what might happen, and she smiled and motioned for her husband to take her son to the house to change clothes.
When Cosai came out with a change of clothes, Jacqueline had already saddled the wildebeest, and the pony whip was handed to her husband.
"Extraordinary, you go to the back stable and lead a wildebeest, and come with me to the Baron's Palace. β
"Go, son, I'll go with you to the saddle. Jacqueline, for no reason, pulled Extraordinary to the stable.
In the stable, watching her son's skillful ** saddle, Jacqueline couldn't help but say to Extraordinary: "Son, you go to the Baron's Mansion to see Miss Ruth, you know that you and Miss Ruth were born on the same day." β
The mother vaguely hinted that the extraordinary two lives did not understand, but it was almost impossible for noblewomen and commoners.
"Oh, yes, Mother. Extraordinary perfunctory.
Doesn't Mother know that Miss Ruth is a berserker, the kind who killed your son in vain?
The two horses moved side by side, and in order to get his son used to it, the horse's speed was not very fast.
"Extraordinary, I suppose the Baron wants to discuss with me about Miss Ruth's coming-of-age ceremony, and on his day off to discuss what seems to be going on. β
Gently pinched the horse's belly, Kosai turned his head to look at the extraordinary, making the extraordinary sigh in his heart, does the mother come once and the father also comes to urge marriage?
"Then again, you and Miss Ruth were born on the same day, but we can only celebrate your coming-of-age ceremony at home, and I can't invite the pastor of the Church of Light to bless me, father. β
Seeing his father laughing at himself, he was good at observing words and expressions, and saw helplessness, and a trace of anger that was not easy to detect.
It seems that this father is also a man with a story.
"There's some gossip though, that I'm going to give you a position as a guardian knight's squire, you damn bastards. β
"But if you like Miss Ruth, your father will fight for you a place as a Guardian Knight. β
"It's okay if you don't like it, Miss Lucy has a good chance of waking up, so how about becoming Miss Lucy's guardian knight?"
Isn't it a mother's natal skill?
Extraordinary sad and indignant thoughts.
