Chapter 5: Patroclus's Oath
Little Pat looked at Su Muran pitifully, as if he would cry immediately as long as he didn't agree.
Su Muran was looked at by him for a while, it's not that I don't promise you, I really don't know what happened.
When Thetis saw that her son was slow to speak, she thought that her son was still angry and unwilling to forgive his little friend.
"Achilles, you are already a little man, be more tolerant and generous. Besides, if it weren't for little Pat, I wouldn't have known you were in danger, so you can forgive him. You're good friends, aren't you?"
Thetis looked at Su Muran with earnest eyes, since giving birth to this naughty son, her first goal in life has changed from a good wife to a good mother.
Like every mother, she wants her children to grow up to be noble, benevolent, wise, and brave heroes, and how can she miss the educational opportunity that is being delivered to her doorstep now?
Seeing that my mother seemed to be ready to give up the idea of making lunch, she wanted to preach to herself. Su Muran had no doubt about this, because he had already seen a glimmer of excitement in those beautiful eyesβexactly the same as before his previous homeroom teacher spoke!
"You're ......"
Thinking of the spitting scene he was about to face, Su Muran hurriedly interrupted Thetis's words loudly: "Mom, I forgive him!"
Hearing this, little Pat, who had been waiting for him to answer, finally had a smile on his face, but Thetis's situation was not very optimistic.
"Uh......"
As if she was stuck in the neck, Thetis was speechless for a moment.
Su Muran breathed a long sigh in her heart, it seemed that she didn't have to be brainwashed by her mother's storm.
Sure enough, Thetis waved her hand weakly, "Then you guys go play." "It sounds like I've completely lost the desire to speak.
Su Muran smiled, pulled little Pat and ran outside.
Behind him came the voice of Thetis.
"You can't go to the mountains, you know?"
"I see, Mom. β
Su Muran didn't look back.
"Also, remember to come back for dinner at noon. β
"Alright, I got it!"
Why is this woman so troublesome? Sure enough, all mothers in the world are the same.
dragged little Pat all the way to the river, and Su Muran stopped. The sun had already risen and it was a little hot, so Su Muran casually found a tree to hide in the shade.
He looked back at little Pat, perhaps because he was running too quickly, and his face was slightly red.
Su Muran smiled apologetically at him: "I'm sorry, I've been running away with you for so long." β
"It's alright, Achilles. Little Pat patted his chest, "I know, my mom is so long-winded, too." β
Su Muran was moved to tears, sure enough, long live understanding!
But he still had some questions to ask, "Well, can you tell me what happened before I fell unconscious, and why do you want me to forgive you?"
Hearing this, little Pat's little face, which had just turned red, immediately turned pale.
"Achilles, you just... Did you lie to me to forgive me?" little Pat looked at him in shock, tears already rolling in his eyes.
Why are children so fragile now?!
Su Muran couldn't help but have a headache, but he was really afraid that this little child would cry. Hastily explained, "No, little Pat, I swear I've forgiven you. It's just that I just woke up and I don't remember something clearly, can you tell me about it?"
After listening to Su Muran's explanation, Little Pat barely burst into tears and laughed.
"That day we went to play in the back mountains, and when we came home, we met a big wild boar. Speaking of this, Little Pat secretly glanced at Su Muran's expression, and then continued: "At that time, I was very scared, and when I saw that wild boar rushing towards you, I secretly ran away by myself." β
After saying a few words, Little Pat looked at Su Muran a little nervously, as if he was afraid that he would suddenly turn his face and get angry.
To be honest, Su Muran is really angry now.
Encountered a pig girl in the wild area, and his teammates were so frightened that they ran away?
Little Pat looked at his uncertain face and said boldly: "I know we can't deal with the big boar, so I ran back to find Aunt Thetis to save you, she is so powerful, there must be a way." β
Su Muran's face softened a lot, and he also knew that he was not very stupid when he notified Zhongshan to come to the rescue.
"By the time we arrived, you were lying at the bottom of the cliff, and the big boar was gone. β
Before saying this, Achilles was hit off a cliff by a wild boar and died, and he woke up with him for some reason. Su Muran thought secretly in her heart.
"It's good that you're okay, Achilles. β
When he looked up, he found that little Pat was still looking at him pitifully, with a guilty face.
Su Muran couldn't help but laugh, this is not a big deal, it's just a choice that everyone will make, and besides, he can be regarded as a blessing in disguise.
Su Muran cleared his throat: "Hmm, I, the goddess of the sea, Thetis, and Achilles, the son of King Peleus of Sevales, have decided to officially forgive little Pat. β
Little Pat excitedly jumped up and hugged him, "Thank you, Achilles!"
"Let go, I'm not going to do it!"
"What is a base?"
"That's it...... Anyway, you just let me go first!"
"Don't, if you want me to let go, it's that Achilles hates me. β
"What kind of logic is this, really!"
The two of them played for a while, and they were a little tired, so Su Muran pulled Little Pat to lie down on the lawn in the shade of the trees.
"Ah~ It's so comfortable. β
Stretching a big waist, the whole person is sunk into the soft lawn, and the breeze blowing from the river bank dispels a trace of the heat that has just risen in early summer, which is really a pleasant life.
Just as Su Muran was about to take a good nap, a voice came from not far away, which seemed to be called Little Pat.
"Patroclus, where are you? β
Su Muran poked her head out and looked over, a somewhat blessed woman was walking along the riverbank, looking at her looking left and right, she should have come to find Little Pat.
Sure enough, hearing this voice, little Pat got up from the lawn with a grunt, beckoned and shouted, "Mom, I'm here." β
"Patroclus, it's almost noon, why are you still playing here?"
Su Muran also stood up, and the woman star was stunned for a moment.
"Achilles, you're awake? The woman said in surprise.
Su Muran bowed to her a little embarrassed, "Hello, thank you for your concern." He didn't know what to call the woman in front of him.
Little Pat, who was beside him, saw his stiffness and reminded in a low voice: "It's my mother, you can call her Aunt Philo." β
Su Muran was sure in her heart, and was about to say two obedient words to make amends, when the fat woman in front of her spoke again.
"I heard that your father is back, so hurry up and go home, your mother has made a big meal. β
Big meal?!Su Muran faintly looked forward to it.
"Mother, how do you know that Aunt Thetis has made a big meal?" asked little Pat curiously.
"Just now your Aunt Thetis came to our house to borrow salt, so I talked to her. Philo smiled and said, "Come back quickly, Patroclus, and we should eat too." β
"Okay, Mom. β
Saying that, little Pat ran towards Philo, but he was only halfway through the run, and he turned back to look at Su Muran: "Thank you, Achilles." β
Su Muran knew that he was saying that he no longer blamed him, so he smiled: "What does it matter? We are friends." β
Little Pat smiled widely and continued to run towards Philo.
"Go back soon, Achilles, and say hello to your father on my behalf. Philo stretched out his hand to catch Little Pat, and then said to Su Muran.
"I see, Aunt Philo. β
Su Muran answered, but he didn't go home immediately, because the scenery by the river was too beautiful and the weather was too good, and he really didn't want to go back early to face that unscrupulous father.
Philo took little Pat home, and Su Muran didn't lie on the lawn anymore, he just leaned on the trunk of the tree so leisurely, watching the back of the mother and son leaving.
Little Pat glanced back at him, and a strange feeling came to his mind, sour and astringent, and he always felt a little like crying.
When he was young, he didn't know what that feeling was, but when he looked back on it many years later, he clearly saw loneliness. The river, the lawn, the trees, everything is so harmonious, only he is out of place.
Little Pat wiped his eyes and secretly made an oath in his heart.
"Achilles, my friend, I will not abandon you again, no matter what. β
