Verse 47: Night Talk

Peggy may have wanted to drive Norman away, but in the face of the magical new power of Guyin, this little girl who loves learning instantly forgot everything and began to study hungrily.

She probably forgot even the fatwa issued this morning that caused turmoil in the Third District.

Until the 8 bell struck, Norman did not dare to delay for a moment, and after taking today's payment from Peggy for 2 silver narls, he hurried out of Colin's house, for fear that something would go wrong, and escaped into the vast darkness of the night, leaving Peggy alone in the living room.

Winnie, after Norman left, came out of the bedroom, walked up to her daughter, and asked, "Did you tell him?"

Peggy, who was still immersed in the magical power of the ancient sound, and seized the time to recite the ancient alphabet while her memory was still clear, remembered what her parents had talked to her in the afternoon, and the words were stagnant.

After a while, he said, "No...... There is no ......"

Peggy's face was full of self-reproach: she was so selfish, she forgot everything as soon as she was exposed to the new knowledge of the old language, completely forgot the situation at home now.

Winnie didn't blame her daughter, she just sighed, touched Peggy's head, and didn't say anything.

......

It's good to run fast.

Norman thought as he walked down the dark and deserted street.

But it's also his brain that spins fast: if he hadn't had the idea to grasp the characteristics of Peggy's love of learning, show the magic of pinyin, and let Peggy fully immerse himself in learning, maybe Peggy would have said something he didn't want to hear.

I just don't know how to deal with it in the next ten days......

Norman shook his head, not thinking about it anymore.

Franklin couldn't go back, so Norman had to go to his old place, and Thomas slept there. So he identified the direction and walked in that direction.

The streets were dark and quiet at night, there was no one, and Norman was also idle and bored, so he chatted with the mage Gawain in his body.

"You say, how did it come to this?"

He could have slept comfortably in the big soft bed right away, but now he was going to sleep on the street again, which was a terrible thing.

Norman cursed the damned man who issued the fatwa several more times in his heart.

Norman said this completely complaining, thinking that Gawain would say that he was to blame for the fatwa, but he didn't expect Gawain to give an answer that he didn't expect.

"Because of you. ”

"Because of me?"

Gawain's words puzzled Norman.

Gawain said, "Yes, because of you. ”

"If you had sincerely thanked Franklin for all this he had given you since the beginning of moving into the house, and had formed a good relationship with him, then he probably wouldn't have let you leave today, and if you had only your own interests in mind and could be friends with Bernie, then you wouldn't have no idea where to look for the black-robed mage now, and even if you had been ruthless at dinner just now, and lied to Colin that you were a black-robed mage, you wouldn't have to worry about how to continue earning this salary......"

"The fatwa is just the trigger, and it's all because of you that things are getting to where they are now. ”

Norman stood still and didn't go any further.

Listening to Gawain say this, it was because of his own reasons that things have developed to the point where they are now?

"What did I do wrong?"

"You're doing it wrong. ”

But Gawain immediately added: "But you are not wrong. ”

"You grew up in that little village, and old Norman taught you nothing but farm work, and you lived your daily life except to work and work, and there was no time and no one to teach you what was right and what was wrong, and what you should do. Therefore, how can we expect you to behave like an elegant nobleman, to distinguish between right and wrong, let alone let you form your own outlook on life, worldview, and values. You are just a farmer, an ignorant farmer who has escaped the famine and can only do farm work without any education, and we are overestimating you. ”

Gawain didn't pay much attention to what Gawain said this time, there were some things that Norman couldn't understand, but Norman could still understand the general content - he never expected that he would be so unbearable in Gawain's eyes, and he spoke like a barbarian who didn't understand anything, which made him a little unconvinced.

"I understand everything!"

Gawain was unimpressed by his shouting, "That's what you think. He also gave an example to demonstrate, "Do you know why this morning, when Franklin said you couldn't take the entrance exam, you would want to go up and use force to get an explanation?"

Norman thought for a moment and said, "Because I'm grumpy!"

Grumpy doesn't seem like a good thing, but he says it rightly and feels quite proud.

Gao Wen said: "No, it's because of Shengmien, fighting Mi Qiu." ”

Norman didn't understand this sentence, but fortunately Gawain explained later: "When you are about to starve to death, someone gives you 10 loaves of white bread, and you will be grateful to this person, but when he gives you 2 more loaves of black bread, or even does not give you bread, you will not only not be grateful to him, but you will blame him, and hate him for why he didn't help you, but you will not remember that he once gave you 10 loaves of white bread, which is the case between Franklin and you." ”

When Norman thought about it, it seemed that this was really the case, and Gawain knew his mind better than he did!

At this time, Gawain asked again, "Then do you know why you have this thought?"

Norman thought again.

This time he thought about it for a lot longer than just now, but after thinking about it for a long time, he still couldn't figure out what the answer was—how did he know why he had such an idea?

So he finally said dryly: "I don't know." ”

Gawain then explained: "This is because what Franklin gave you before has raised the standard of gratitude in your heart, and once it falls below this standard, you will no longer be grateful, and even hold a grudge against the other person." ”

Then, Gawain asked, "Then you know ......?"

Gawain asked one question after another, all about Norman, and Norman himself didn't know why, but Gawain was able to answer them for him.

Judging from these answers alone, Norman is not Norman, and Gawain is Norman.

This forced Norman to admit that he might really be as unbearable as Gawain said, and at the same time became interested in this skill of the mage Gawain.

"I want to learn from yours!

Gawain didn't expect Norman to suddenly say such a sentence.

He was silent for a moment, as if he was thinking, before he said, "If you think about it, it's not impossible, maybe we've been mistaken all along." ”

"You are very capable of the ancient language, all you need is time to get acquainted with it, and you really don't need our special help, on the contrary, in some basic aspects, such as human feelings, moral standards, and people's hearts, etc., you are indeed very weak, and this is what we are better at, maybe we should focus on this aspect of our work...... If we had started to improve in this area, the situation would have been very different...... The Programme of Action needs to be adjusted......"

Gawain seemed to be speaking to Norman, and as if to himself, and after talking for a while, he finally gave a clear answer.

"Yes. ”
