Chapter 53: Washing the marrow
Chapter 53: Washing the marrow
Arthur slowly opened his eyes, and the soft light met his eyes, and the familiar scent of sandalwood floated in the room, which made him feel much more at ease.
"Isn't this my room? When did I fall asleep?"
Arthur remembered in a trance that he seemed to be chatting with Gruchy, chatting and chatting, and after a while his eyelids were a little heavy, and then he ...... I don't even know when I fell asleep.
"Could it be the bottle of medicine that Karina handed me?"
Arthur sat up slowly, and just wanted to raise his arm, but he only felt a sharp pain in his arm, and he gasped at that time, and his face turned pale in pain, so he had to sit quietly on the bed, not daring to move again, and after a long time, this pain slowly dissipated.
"This arm won't be useless," Arthur felt like he was losing consciousness in pain.
He gasped heavily, cold sweat streaming down his forehead.
Arthur looked out the window, it should have been noon, the door was closed, the bright sunlight shone through the glass windows on the mahogany tables and chairs, and the green bamboo in the courtyard could be faintly seen.
The door was gently pushed open, and the person who came moved very gently, presumably for fear of disturbing Arthur.
The dignified and beautiful Nina walked in, Arthur's body moved, the sharp pain invaded his brain, and his face twitched again.
"I rub it, it really hurts!"
Nina walked quickly to the edge of the bed and sat down, patted Arthur's head coldly, and said, "Don't swear, how did your mother teach you?"
Before the pain disappeared, he was beaten by his own mother, and he glanced at Nina with grievances, and said, "I am my mother, how can I abuse my son like this." ”
Nina glanced at her son angrily, and said, "Let you go and fight the second-level warlock, you have lost half of your life, and you still dare to cry out in pain." ”
Arthur sneered, and Nina poured him a cup of hot white water, blew the hot air on it, and fed him herself. "Drink slowly, don't burn it. ”
"Mother, how long have I been asleep?"
"It didn't take long, it's only been three days. After Nina had finished drinking the water, she told Arthur to lie down and covered him with a quilt.
Arthur suddenly lifted the quilt and said hurriedly: "Three days, the competition between Mu Xing and Fanzhong, hiss......ed" Before the words could be finished, the violent movements caused a strong sense of pain, and Arthur's eyes were dark and clear, and he trembled in pain.
"Don't move!" Arthur was beaten by his mother again.
"Mu Xing won"
"Mu Xing won, sure enough!" Arthur's expression was a little solemn.
"Don't worry, son, the news that you were seriously injured has also spread all over Mangala City, you are really unbelievable, you dare to talk to a second-level warlock!"
Arthur was shocked, and closed his eyes and was ready to be scolded.
"It's worthy of being my mother's son, I really give your mother a long face. ”
"Huh?" Arthur opened his eyes, and seeing that his mother did not scold, he exhaled a long breath in his heart and secretly "cut" it. Whispering, "You just hit me!"
"What did you say?"
"No, no, no...... What to say, "The world is big, and my mother is the biggest."
Nina smiled slightly, stood up and said, "You don't have to hide it from your mother, your mother knows that you want to fight Mu Xing." Your grandfather is such a character, and so is your third uncle, and you are quite similar to your grandfather and uncle. ”
Speaking of this, Nina suddenly sighed, "This child named Mu Xing is also very stubborn. He said he was willing to wait for you to recover. If you want to fight with him, my mother doesn't object, my mother just hopes that you will marry Karina as soon as possible and let your mother hug her grandson. If you don't leave a son and a half daughter, your mother won't let you go far away" Nina clasped her hands around her waist, like a fierce woman.
It seems that Arthur's serious injury this time also frightened her. But as a warlock, it's normal to fight and kill. As a mother, Nina just wants her son to live a disease-free life and live a comfortable life. Of course, it's better to have more grandchildren for her.
Arthur sighed inwardly and remained silent. He attaches the most importance to filial piety, and he also knows that his mother has suffered a lot because of himself, and he is glad that he is in his twenties and can still accept having children. But Karina's fourteen-year-old body still made Arthur feel full of guilt.
"Let's wait until Karina is eighteen!" Arthur sighed inwardly.
Nina took an apple from the fruit bowl and gently peeled it off with a sharp knife. Arthur suddenly thought of something, "Mother, I...... I saw my grandfather and he ......"
"Are you looking for an old man?"
The door opened without wind, and a spirited old man stepped into the door step by step, his steps were thick and powerful, and he walked steadily.
Arthur's face turned cold, and he said in his heart: I didn't call you.
"Father!" Nina greeted with a smile, and Arthur felt his brain freeze. He saw his mother full of grievances on weekdays, how long has it been, and how did he change his face so quickly?
Thinking of the scene when his mother was wrapped in a quilt and crying bitterly in the "dream", Arthur suddenly felt a burst of anger in his heart.
"Arthur, why don't you call grandpa?" When his mother's voice came, Arthur was stunned for a moment, so easily turned out to be grandpa? He was a little unwilling in his heart, but he still obeyed his mother's words and answered. Mother's face still has to be given.
"Good, good, good" Hind immediately laughed when he heard Arthur's "grandfather", and immediately seemed to think of something, his face sank, and he complained: "Nina, you don't know, when you first saw this kid, you still made a face at the old man!"
Nina glanced at Arthur with a smile, a hint of relief seemed to flash in her eyes, and said, "Arthur is still young and ignorant, so I hope my father won't blame him." ”
Then he was a little worried, "Father, can Arthur still be cleansed according to his current injury?"
"Cleansing?" Arthur wondered, "What is a wash?"
