Chapter 126—The Princess of Eden (23)

"Father!" called out as Rausis burst into the house and into the bedroom with a fit of rage.

Paliusis was writing official documents, looked up and saw his son's appearance, and asked in a deep voice, "What's wrong?"

"Did you know that the village is chewing your tongue everywhere right now! Some people even say ......"

Rausis stopped talking, which only increased Palius's interest.

"Just say it. ”

Since his father demanded this, Rausis hesitated for a moment and said frankly: "Some people say that my father should be asked to die to apologize." ”

Although Paliusis was somewhat mentally prepared for bad words, he was still somewhat stunned when he heard such a ruthless thing, and then let out a sneer with a "hum".

"They say so, and I'm really going to die?"

Hearing this, Rausis was dissatisfied.

"Father, you should stand up and rebuke these bastards, they don't understand your good intentions!"

Saying this, Rausis could not help but wonder why this was so, and he felt that it was because of time, that the benefits of his father's policies would only be recognized at the moment of real hardship. But before that, Barriet had returned with the help of the nobles, so people couldn't understand.

At this thought, Rausis couldn't help but complain.

"If only Barrett had come back later!"

When this sentence entered his ears, Palyusston was furious, and angrily threw the pen at his son.

The pen hit Rausis in the face with a crisp snap, and Rausis felt his father's anger and immediately trembled and called, "Father." ”

"You are my son, the future captain of the guard!" Paliusis rebuked angrily, "is this what you should say, think!"

"But, the villagers ......"

"There's nothing! They don't understand, don't the village chief understand? Don't the eldest lady understand! Whoever wants to say something, let them say it! What is white is white, and just a few words cannot become black! The only thing we have to do is to be loyal to our duties, that is, to protect the village, and we don't have to worry about the rest!"

"Yes!

After a lesson, Paliusis took a new pen and planned to continue the work at hand, but just as he was about to put it down, he found that his son had no intention of acting at all, and he became a little angry.

"Why are you still standing? Didn't you understand what I just told you! The village now has a lot of water and food, which is a fat bait for those monsters outside, and they need to step up their patrols!"

"I see!"

"Then don't go yet!"

"Yes!"

Agreed, Rausis hurried out of the house in one go, and he was relieved when he stepped out of the house with both feet.

"Father, why don't you understand, people are terrible. After uttering a futile remark to the house through the door, Rausis gathered his men to patrol at his father's orders.

......

Barrett's mother rested under her persuasion, and now Barriet was alone by her father's bedside.

Looking at her biological father with her eyes closed, waves of guilt surged in her heart.

She wondered if she had run away in anger, and her father might not have gotten to this point.

But after thinking about it, if he hadn't left that night, he wouldn't have met Igarashi Suke, and he wouldn't have received help from Li Mengxi and his party. Then today I would not have saved the village from danger, and I would not have been able to cure my father's illness.

She was a little confused, not knowing whether what she was doing was right or wrong. If my father was awake, he would have taught himself as usual.

At this thought, Barrett took her father's hand and pressed her forehead against it.

"Dad, wake up, wake up and teach your daughter. ”

"Hmmm......"

At that moment, a murmur reached Barrett's ears, and at the same time she felt the pressure on her hands.

So, she suddenly looked up and saw her father's hand reflexively holding her own. Then she looked down her arm to her face, and she was even more surprised to see her father's eyelids fluttering.

Soon after, the village chief finally opened the eyes that had been closed for half a month. It was already night outside, and there was an oil lamp in the house, and the light was not too bright, but it still made him feel dazzling. The ears are also a little difficult to hear, but they are indistinct.

After squinting his eyes for a while, the village chief of Isis saw the excitement in front of him, and the voice that had been ringing in his ears became clear.

"Daddy, Daddy!" Barriet called out as she stood up close to her father's face, her eyes teeing with tears in her eyes.

"Barrett. You're back. ”

"Yes, Daddy, Barrett is back!"

"I'm sorry, Barrett, I shouldn't have hit you that day. Can you forgive Dad?"

Hearing this, Barrett's tears became even more turbulent.

"I am, I should have begged for forgiveness! Say anything, 'I didn't want to be your daughter,' I'm a big fool! I'm sorry, Dad, I shouldn't have run away from home! But if I hadn't left that day, I wouldn't have been able to save Dad. I really don't understand! What should I apologize for, and what should I be proud of?"

"What's going on?"

"Did you mean to listen to me?"

"Of course, isn't it natural for a father to help his daughter solve problems?"

"Daddy, listen to me......"

Immediately, Barriet told her father all the experiences she had had since she left home that day. Also, your own troubles.

"I see, you've grown up. After learning everything, Chief Esis caressed his daughter's cheek and smiled with relief.

"Me, have you grown up?"

"Hmm. That night, you're faced with a choice. Just let that nobleman send you back, or come back with hope as you did today. You chose the latter. Barrett, my daughter, I'm so proud of your choice, you didn't run away from your mistakes, it's a big step in your growth. A child will only apologize, while an adult will find a way to make up for his mistakes, just like you do. You don't have to feel guilty about your momentary mistakes, but be proud of your courage and tenacity. ”

"Hmm!" with her father's approval, Barriet really felt a haze in her heart dissipate. "By the way, Mom is resting in my room, do you want me to call her?"

Chief Isis shook his head and said, "No, she's worked hard these days, so let her have a good rest." Come. Help me sit up. ”

"Okay. ”

Then, with Barrett's support, Chief Esis straightened up and moved backwards, leaning his back against the wall, forming a half-sitting, half-lying position.

"Barrett, go and help me get Palyusis and them over. Then, you go and stay with your noble friends for a while. ”

"Dad, you're sick. ”

"I know, but I'm the village chief, and it's my duty. And don't you think I've slept enough?"

"Well, then I'll go. ”

"Be careful. Don't run away anymore. ”

"How so!" said Barrett, smiling sweetly at her father, and walked out of the bedroom, wrapped in a blanket, and went out of the house.

Paliusis, Ayilaide, Chai Mod, Chilliopara, and Barit visited the homes of these four men one after another, conveying to them the meaning of their father. Then, as his father instructed, he went to their campsite in Li Mengxi, south of the village.

Five flame stones are equidistant from the border of the camp, emitting light and heat. Within a few steps of stepping into the light of one of them, Barrett took off her blanket.

Li Mengxi and his party sat in a circle around the cauldron on the campfire, enjoying the chowder cooked by Nayin Hinata.

They were surprised to see that Barrett, who was not staying in her own house, but had come to them.

"Why did you come to us?" asked Naine Hinata immediately after Barriet sat down between herself and Xun Hui.

"My dad told me to come to you. ”

"Is your father awake?" asked Xun Hui.

"Thank you so much, Miss Jiang Ling. Barriet looked sideways at Jiang Ling on the other side of Xun Hui and smiled.

"Just call me Jiang Ling. ”

"As soon as I woke up, I kicked my daughter out of the house, who hadn't seen me for half a month. Emily smirked, "Are you really your own?"

"Of course it's true!" Barriet immediately protested loudly, "Dad arranged this because he wanted to find out about the situation in the village with Uncle Paliusis!

Hearing this, Hephaestus looked at Li Mengxi with a hook of the corners of his mouth.

"Looks like your hypothesis has hit the mark. ”

Listening, Clark on the side also nodded in admiration.

And these words immediately drew Barrett's attention to Li Mengxi.

"What's going on?"

Facing Barrett's question, Li Mengxi smiled awkwardly.

"Actually, I talked about a similar topic during the casual conversation just now. Judging by the words of the villagers we had heard up to nightfall, Mr. Chief's knowledge would probably have turned into a one-sided criticism of the man named Paliusis. He probably expected this and asked you to avoid it. ”

......

In fact, as Li Mengxi said, the village chief Isis heard in his bedroom about the recent situation in the village was simply the accusation of Chaimaud and Chilliopara against Paliusis.

Ayilaide maintains a relatively objective narrative, but it is also a little inferior to the statements of the other two people because it is too objective and does not involve the slightest personal or other person's emotions.

Chaimaud portrayed Palyusis as a slave owner and tyrant, and Siliopala as a murderer for seizing the widow of the water carrier.

Paliusis was dismissive of their words, believing that he had only done what he thought was right, and that the village chief would have a wise judgment.

It wasn't until Chai Mod said this: "I heard from the eldest lady that the village chief will only get sick after eating the strange lizard you gave." I think your wolf ambitions are simply obvious. ”

"Fart!" Paliusis could tolerate the incomprehension of others, but he could not tolerate the framing of him. He angrily grabbed Chaimade's necklace.

Seeing this, Ayilid and Siriopala hurriedly stepped forward to persuade them, but it didn't work much.

"Why, I'm wrong! You didn't give the lizard!" Chai Mod was restrained but didn't flinch.

"If I knew it was poisonous, how could I give it to the village chief! Living in this sea of sand where supplies are scarce, which animal doesn't immediately think of eating? You're more active than me in this regard, aren't you?"

"Then why don't you eat it yourself, you are poisoned!"

"Because, to my friends, I think more than you do!"

"Sophistry!"

"That's enough!" the village chief of Isis couldn't stand it and shouted angrily, and his throat itched and coughed a few times when he first recovered from his serious illness. Seeing this, a few people stopped.

"I've called you here to find out what the situation is, and as for justice for whom, or who should be punished, come back and talk about it. The village chief said slowly in a somewhat angry voice, "Okay, since I've heard the situation, you can each go home and rest." Unlike me, you're tired these days. ”

So the four of them left respectfully. As for whether they continued to quarrel after they got outside, Chief Isis didn't care.

But when he was left alone, he still lamented for Paliusis.

He and Palyusis had been friends for many years, and their children were engaged to each other. Therefore, he knew the character of Palyusis well.

This man is strict with himself and others, thoughtful, and must be compared, but not everyone is like him. Therefore, to demand everyone according to the standards he demands of himself and his subordinates will make a lot of complaints.

On the contrary, he is quite arrogant, but if others don't understand what he thinks is right, he won't say it. The lack of communication, as well as his own inflexibility, are the root causes of the current situation.

To put it in a bad way, he is too rigid and self-serving!

"Well, I wish it had ended here. Otherwise......"

Even to himself, the village chief of Isis did not dare to say anything. He is the village chief and must stand with the will of the whole village, not become a companion of one person. So he sincerely hoped that the situation would not turn into a confrontation between Palyusis and the villagers.

It's just that people are not as good as "heaven".
