Chapter 4: The Little Secret of Thetis
Although he was very reluctant to admit it, Su Muran really felt that the cheap father and cheap mother in front of him matched each other.
"Peleus, you must be tired after such a long journey, sit down first, and I'll go and prepare a towel for you to wipe your face." Thetis said softly.
This time Peleus did not refuse again, although when he first arrived home, he glanced at his son anxiously and said that he was not tired, but that was just a lie. He hadn't closed his eyes for two days since he heard the news of his son's injury.
"Thank you, Thetis, I am so happy. Peleus let go of his embrace, and Theseis smiled at him, and went out into the courtyard to look for a towel.
Pelius just walked to the edge of the bed and sat down, he didn't care about resting, and immediately beckoned to Su Muran again, "Achilles, come over and let Dad take a good look at you." ”
Although it was a little embarrassing, Su Muran still walked up and looked at this cheap father.
Peleus held Su Muran's small shoulders with both hands, and looked at him in a daze, not knowing what he was thinking, even if the sweat on his cheeks had slid down to his chin, he didn't notice it.
In case he suddenly said "You are not my son" at this time, then how should I explain it? Su Muran looked at this cheap father nervously, a little at a loss.
I am most afraid of the sudden silence of the air.
Su Muran was about to say something, when Thetis came in.
"What are you father and son going to do with your big eyes?"
Thetis came over with a basin and couldn't help but laugh at the sight.
Pelius stiffly put his hand down, and pulled an unnatural smile on his face, "It's nothing, I haven't seen my son for too long, I want to see more." ”
Thetis thought it was funny, "When the war is over, you can look at it however you want, now it's time to wash your face." ”
Peleus reached out and took the pot, and did not speak again.
I don't know what Peleus found, but fortunately he didn't pick the topic until the end.
Su Muran breathed a sigh of relief in her heart.
Peleus took out a towel from the basin and wiped his face, and said with a smile: "Thetis, you are becoming more and more like a good wife and mother, I think you used sea water to wash my face at the beginning." ”
"Oh, I'll have to talk about how long it will be. Hearing this, Thetis was obviously shy in front of her son, and ran away, "I'll feed the horses first, and then I'll prepare lunch for you." ”
Peleus looked at Thetis with a smile, and it was not until the back of the departure disappeared at the door that he put down the towel in his hand and looked at Su Muran.
There was a hint of indescribable taste in those dark brown eyes, Su Muran's heart beat a drum again, and after examining it for a long time, Pelius finally spoke, but the first sentence scorched Su Muran's thunder on the outside and on the inside.
"Achilles, why is your face so dirty?"
"Huh? uh...... Well, I just got up, Dad. ”
"Why don't you go wash your face, and by the way, help me get rid of this basin of water, young man. ”
Peleus's face changed to a mischievous smile.
"Yes, Dad. ”
What is it? I thought I was exposed, but it turned out that I was asked to do child labor. Su Muran couldn't cry or laugh in his heart, just now he was so scared that he was about to have a heart attack.
Although he didn't want to work, he still bent down and picked up the clay pot and walked out.
"My God, how can it be so heavy?" Su Muran complained in his heart.
What he didn't see, however, was that behind him, Peleus stared at his struggling back, the smile on his face quickly receded, and his brow furrowed.
"Achilles, how did he become like this?"
Walking into the courtyard, Su Muran couldn't help but take a deep breath, because the atmosphere just now was too tense. However, he couldn't stop at all just by taking a breath, and the air here was too fresh, right? There was no choking tail smell in the city in his previous life, and Su Muran was in a good mood for a while.
Su Muran took a closer look, behind the house was a verdant mountain, which was about the location of the foot of the mountain, and there was a clear small river not far in front of the door, and the sound of the river crashing on the bank could be faintly heard.
Blue sky and white clouds, green mountains and green waters. It's really a great place for a holiday and relaxation.
Look at your yard again, it is surrounded by a fence surrounded by branches and rattans, the area is not large, only about 20 square meters, the fence also looks very sparse, it seems that it can only prevent small animals at most.
At the outermost firewood doorway, on the left and right, stood two guards with spears, still wearing armor, apparently returning with Pelus, the cheap father.
To the left of the chaimen is a tall olive tree with small white flowers. On the right side were a few wooden stakes, tied to three war horses, the old mother Thetiss was carrying a basket to feed the grass one by one, and the three big ones were eating quietly like three little sheep, and from time to time rubbing their heads against Thetis's shoulders, as if to please her.
Sure enough, the charm of the goddess, let alone a human, can't even be stopped by animals.
"Achilles, Dad finally came back once, why don't you talk to Dad?"
Thetis turned her head and saw Su Muran coming out of the house, and asked strangely.
"Daddy said I had a dirty face, so let me pour him water, Mom. Su Muran did not hesitate to sue the black case.
"Really, how can you do things when you just woke up. Thetis said with a disgruntled expression. Su Muran was moved, it felt so good to be cared for.
"What if the pot breaks? ”
Three black lines fell from Su Muran's forehead, and a flock of crows quacked and flew overhead. He almost suspected that the woman with pear blossoms and rain who was crying at him with a look of self-reproach when he woke up just now was fake.
"Haha, I won't tease you. Seeing her son looking at her with a depressed expression, Thetis couldn't pretend anymore. She walked over, took the clay pot naturally with one hand, and led Su Muran in the direction of the sink with the other.
Thetis poured out the dirty water from the clay pot, "You just don't move here, Mother will go and fetch you water." ”
Su Muran looked at her mother's somewhat struggling bucket, and suddenly thought of a question.
"Mom, are you the goddess of the sea?"
"Of course, little fool, why do you ask this question again?"
"Then why do you have to fetch your own water? If you are the god of the sea, shouldn't you beckon the water to come?"
Thetis, who was in the bucket, suddenly stopped, and then began to shake the handle vigorously. The sharp-eyed Su Muran clearly saw that her neck had turned red.
"Did Daddy tell you something?!"
There seemed to be suppressed anger in his voice.
Su Muran hurriedly shook his head: "No, Mom, I'm just asking casually." ”
"Don't ask this kind of question again in the future, or your mother will be angry. ”
Finally lifting the bucket, Titis gritted her teeth and said expressionlessly.
"Got it, Mom. ”
"Come, mom wipes your face. ”
Although she looked a little angry, Thetis still looked very gentle when she wiped Su Muran's face, and she didn't hurt him at all.
Su Muran washed his face and was about to enter the house, when he suddenly heard some sounds outside, and couldn't help but turn his head to look, only to see a little boy about the same age as him at the door looking at him pitifully, but the guards at the door stopped him and didn't allow him to come in. To tell the truth, Su Muran immediately smiled when he saw this little child, because this little child was wearing a dark green skirt, which at first glance matched the brown skirt on his body.
In fact, Su Muran already knew that this set on him was not a skirt, but a robe with a peculiar style, which he had read in a book before, and it seemed to be called Ji Tong. It's just that he didn't pay attention when he first woke up.
"I'm really a good friend of Achilles, don't lie to you. ”
The guards cast inquiring eyes, of course, not at Su Muran, but at his mother, Queen Thetis of Seli.
"Let him in, it's our neighbor. Thetis nodded to the guards.
Hearing Thetis's words, the guards blocking the door immediately moved out of the way. As if he was afraid that they would regret it, the little boy ran towards Su Muran with his short legs.
Thetis squatted down and looked at him gently, "Little Pat, you have come to see Achilles again, you have been running to my house every day for the past two days." ”
The little boy looked at These's face a little shyly, but he mustered up the courage to speak.
"Aunt Thetis, I just want to see if Achilles is awake, we ...... that day"
Before he could finish speaking, Thetis interrupted him, "It's all right, little Pat, you're just a child, no one will blame you, not Achilles." ”
Little Pat nodded heavily, turned his head and looked at Su Muran with red eyes, "Achilles, will you forgive me?"
What is the situation? Su Muran was a little confused.
