Chapter Twenty-Seven: A Sneak Peek
"Aunt Thetis said that she spanked you because you didn't make her angry. Little Pat stood and repeated what Thetis had said with a serious face.
"You, you, you......" Su Muran's lips trembled, and he pointed at Little Pat with one hand, only feeling that he was about to spurt out a mouthful of old blood.
This little guy obviously knows about it, but he is still here listening to himself blowing for half an hour? and then exposing himself and slapping himself in the face mercilessly?
"You know everything, why are you still asking me?!" Su Muran pointed at Little Pat and roared angrily.
"It was Aunt Thetis who said let me ask you to see if you would lie. Little Pat was serious.
"You, you go......" Su Muran really didn't know what to say, so he had to learn the posture of an ostrich and retract his head back into the quilt.
He feels a lot of pain right now, his butt hurts, his face hurts, his heart hurts.
"Don't be sad, Achilles, let's go out. ”
Since little Pat was trained by him that day, he has really changed a lot, and he is not crying at every turn like before.
"I don't want to go anywhere. Su Muran hid in the quilt and said sullenly. The heart is tired, and he needs to rest.
"I heard my mother say that your family is going to build a granary, let's go and have a look, it must be fun. Little Pat continued to persuade Su Muran.
"Oh?" Su Muran lifted the quilt and showed his head, to be honest, he hadn't seen anyone here build a house, and he felt the need to see it.
However, as soon as he wanted to get up, Su Mu decided to give up this tempting idea, because he couldn't walk at all now.
"Build a house or something, let's see it next time. Su Muran turned over the quilt again and retracted his head. He didn't want to run in front of the whole village and lose face.
"Alright then, I'll go back first, and I'll come back to you tomorrow. Little Pat saw that Su Muran was reluctant to go out, so he had to go to the field alone. At this time, the barley has not yet been harvested, so it is just the right time to help pick up some fallen ears of wheat.
Little Pat came to the river, where someone was carrying food back and forth in a boat. Of course, they were all small boats, and they couldn't compare with the boats of Ikaon, which could carry five or six men and two tall horses.
In Su Muran's opinion, Ikaon's ship was also a small boat, but it was because he had too many steel giants in his previous life, so he didn't feel it at all. In fact, for the people of this era, the ship of the Icaon is not small.
All the way to the edge of the field, the soldiers and villagers of the grain transport team were working in the field, and Titis was standing on the hillside in a daze.
Originally, she was going to do it herself, but the villagers repeatedly begged her to rest in order to show their gratitude for her generosity, so she had to watch.
"Aunt Thetis. Little Pat ran to Theses.
"Little Pat, what does Achilles say to you?" said Thetis as she looked at little Pat and smiled.
Achilles told me directly. Little Pat didn't tell Thetis that Su Muran fooled him.
"I see, go find your mother, she's over there. Thetis smiled and touched little Pat's head and gestured in the direction of Philomena.
"Goodbye, Aunt Thetis. Little Pat said politely, and ran to find Philomena.
Is it really straightforward? Impossible. Thetis knew his son too well to tell him what had embarrassed him, and he couldn't have told little Pat.
So if you think so, little Pat is also lying to her. But Thetis was not angry, "Maybe I'm afraid I'll go back and clean up Achilles." ”
Little Pat is really good to Achilles. Thetis thought about it for a moment and threw it to the back of her mind, for she had something more important to think about.
If autumn passes and Demeter, the goddess of the harvest, completes her most important task of the year, what will she do with the rest of the time?
But where would the mother and daughter be now? maybe in Crete, maybe in Sicily, or just on Mount Olympus.
Mount Olympus, as the abode of the gods, cannot be climbed at will. And Crete also has its peculiarities, and ordinary gods are not allowed to enter and leave it.
The only thing that is not taboo is Sicily, but Sicily is too far away, if it was Thetis who was at the peak of her power before, there might not be any pressure to go to Sicily, but now it is impossible. Now Thetis has to ride a horse, not to mention going to Sicily, even to Athens.
And one more thing, she still doesn't know what Zeus thinks about the demigods getting gods. If in the eyes of Zeus, there is no difference between demigods and mortals, then Achilles is dangerous. Not to mention a demigod-born god, even if he is a natural god, there are few qualified opponents of Zeus.
Zeus's rule over the entire Olympus has become impregnable, and most of those who dare to resist him have died, and those who can't be killed have been imprisoned by him in Tartarus Prison.
Thetis patted her forehead, feeling a real headache.
"Yesterday I patronized Artemis, if I had asked her, maybe Zeus would have agreed. Thetis muttered to herself, but don't say she didn't think of this last night, even if she thought of it, she wouldn't say it.
Artemis had a good relationship with her, but not to the extent of being reassuring. If Achilles' safety is not ensured, one more person will know that he will be in more danger.
After thinking about it, Thetis decided to wait for Peleus to come back before making a decision, she really didn't know what to do now.
While Thetis was thinking, the work of the people had come to an end. Ivomedon ran over and saluted her, "Tell the Queen, the barley has been harvested." ”
Thetis nodded, this year is lucky, like in previous years, there are always wild boars or something to harm the crops during the autumn harvest, but this year there is no such situation.
"Your Majesty, we have consulted and decided to build a temporary granary at the foot of the hillside, which will be more convenient. ”
Thetis nodded again, it seems that this Ivomedon is still very smart, after all, there is too much grain to harvest, if it is to be transported across the river, it may not be able to be transported until next year with those few small boats.
"Then Ivomedon will leave it all to you, Ivomodon. Thetis said to Ivo Meddon. Since there is nothing for her here, then she is ready to go back, after all, she is not very relieved that Achilles is alone at home.
"Don't worry, Queen, I'll do it all. Ivomedon saluted again.
......
At the end of a busy day, people returned to their homes, and the soldiers pitched their tents again, as they had done the same last night.
The wheat field is full of harvested barley like a small mountain bag, and the afterglow of the setting sun shines on the wheat pile, pulling out a long shadow, and the sky gradually darkens with this shadow.
I don't know why, when the moon was about to rise, Artemis was a little inexplicably looking forward to it, and she couldn't tell what she was expecting, but she felt as if something was waiting for her.
By the time Apollo returned to his temple, Artemis had changed into his best clothes and couldn't wait to board the glittering moon chariot and leave Arcadia, leaving behind a group of curious fairies and goddesses to talk about.
"The little princess is really strange today. ”
"yes, hiding in the temple early in the morning. ”
"And she soaked in the hot springs all day and didn't go hunting. ”
"She didn't feed the dogs or take the fawns for a walk today. ”
......
The fairies looked at each other and suddenly remembered something more important.
"And she doesn't play with us anymore!"
"Does she dislike us anymore?"
"Are we going to be driven away?"
......
The more the fairies thought about it, the more frightened they became, and they almost cried without hugging their heads.
Acteya, who was hiding behind the flowers and eavesdropping, couldn't hold back any longer, "Don't talk about it anymore, or I'll drive you out first." ”
When the fairies saw Actea, they immediately remembered the fear of being dominated by her during the day, and stopped crying, and "whew" and scattered.
Looking at the empty ground in front of her, Actea touched her forehead in embarrassment, hasn't she always been gentle?
......
Artemis did not know that such a big turmoil had occurred in his home, and the moon chariot streaked across the sky, passing through Mount Kiseron, passing through the city of Thebes, and passing through Mirmidon.
For some reason, Artemis suddenly became a little nervous, and all she felt was that her palms seemed to be a little wet now. The reindeer pulling the cart also seemed to notice Artemis's abnormality, and slowed down neatly.
"Phew, I just want to see Sister Thetis, why are you so nervous. Artemis comforted himself and forced himself to compose.
Look at the earth, mountains, rivers, wheat fields, hills, pastures. She had seen the sheft of sheep huddled in the fold and refused to sleep, and for some wonder why she even felt that the neighing sheep had become so cute.
His eyes were on the cabin, where Sister Thetis was, if memory serves.
Do you want to see it? Do you want to see it? Artemis is at war in her heart at the moment, what if Sister Thetis happens to be looking outside? What if she doesn't notice me? What if she asks me to go down? Do I refuse? Or not?
I'll just take a look, just take a sneak peek. Artemis, who had been struggling for a long time, saw that the moon cart was about to leave the pasture, and finally mustered up the courage to look into the window of the cabin.
However, she was stunned at this moment, what about people?
