13. The Logic of Men (continued)
"I'll go back to Oufu first to make arrangements, and then I'll come to Ainfast to find you. ”
Gru and Porugan quickly left with teleportation scrolls, leaving only Asa and Sandru on top of the tree.
"Looks like you're going to be busy in the next few days. ”
"It seems so. Asa nodded.
"It turns out that you are already a man who no longer needs anyone to teach you how to do it. I think when I was in the morgue of the Academy of Magic, I was still a hairy boy who didn't know anything. Sandru looked at Asa and sighed, this old man who had always been more energetic than anyone else, and whose emotions could be more intense than the youngest young man, finally showed his exhaustion at this time. Old, in fact, is piled up with countless helplessness. "I haven't been able to do anything for you in the past few years. It's not until now that I'm cornered that I want to help you, who knows that you don't need it anymore. I'm really guilty······"
Asa shook his head and smiled: "Where, in fact, I was able to live to this time thanks to you, and many of the things I have were given to me by you, and I have always been very grateful to you~·····"
"No, I owe you too much. Sandru shook his head and interrupted Asa's words, his voice tired but sure, his face full of helpless loneliness. "It's always been a long time coming······ Actually, Magnus bastard is right, things have developed so far, and you have been forced to get to this point, in fact, it is all caused by me. I owe you all the misdeeds I did more than 20 years ago and the 20 years of evasion, but unfortunately I can't pay it back now when I want to······"
Asa also interrupted Sandru. "Needless to say, because it's useless to say it. Either way, I thank you. ”
After a moment of silence, Sandru suddenly spoke: "At least you should know what you should know." ”
"What should I know?"
Sandru didn't say it directly, he thought about it first. Just ask, "What kind of people are your parents?"
Asa said lightly: "My father was a blacksmith in the Calondo Basin, and he died of hunger and cold more than a year ago. As for my mother, I don't remember her as she was, it seems to have died a long time ago. They were all ordinary people, just like all the normal people in Calondo. ”
"Ordinary people? No, let me tell you, your biological parents are not ordinary people. Sandru spoke slowly, as if he struggled with every word. "Do you want to know who your real parents are, and how did you get abandoned by them?"
"I don't want to. Asa replied lightly.
"What?" Sandru was stunned, completely stunned. It seems that as long as you are human, the first thing you should be surprised when you hear this question. He thought about it. Only then did I wake up: "You already knew your parents ······"
"Granny Al······ Aegrenel had already told me. ”
"What? she······ What did she say to you?"
"She just told me that she was the one who put me at my father's door. ”
"So, did she tell you who your real parents were?"
"Nope. I don't want to know, though. ”
"Why?"
"Because it has nothing to do with me. Who the hell are they and what does it matter to me? I'm still me, I'm still going to do what I'm supposed to do, what's the difference?"
Sandru was stunned, thought about it for a while, and then nodded with a wry smile: "Yes, there is indeed no difference." ”
Asa continued lightly: "My father is a very ordinary person. But it's great, and having a father like him is one of the few things I'm thankful and proud of. That's enough, I still need to know what to do with things that have nothing to do with me?"
"It seems that I have a lot of trouble, and I thought I could give you a surprise. Sandru smiled wryly and nodded. He knew that the father Asa was talking about was the real father he had always thought he had. It really doesn't matter who the real biological parents are.
"Not really, thank you for your kindness. It's just that I'm so busy right now that I don't want to know about all these boring things. Asa smiled, also wryly. "If you have time, if you have another chance, let's talk again. ”
If you have a chance again······ But can there really be one? Is there still a chance? Sandru could only reply with a bitter wry smile. He looked up at the sky and let out a long sigh.
Huge tree tops. The earth is ruined, this is already an irretrievable desperate situation, and for a time it seems that the heavens and the earth are full of this colorful decline and death, despair.
After a moment, Sandru lowered his head, and the tired and unwilling expressions on his face returned to calm, replaced by a calm and relaxed look. After thinking about it again, he said, "Well, I'll tell you something." It's not really about you, so you can listen to it with confidence. I'm just scared······ In case, just in case, I'm afraid I won't have the opportunity to tell you this story in the future. ”
"Okay, you name it. Asa nodded.
"I used to have a woman I knew······ Well... Speaking of which, it's strange that you look a little similar to her. But it doesn't look good on your man's face, so I call you a sissy a lot of the time. ”
"Cut, if you want to say I'm ugly, just say it. Asa smiled and patted him. Just like in the royal capital, the two met not long ago, and the short but peaceful and stable days.
"Haha, this woman has a very smart mind, but it's a pity that if a person doesn't have enough heart, a smart mind can only be a burden and counterproductive. And women, they have never had big hearts, at most they just look big in appearance, you know. Hey. Sandru smiled lightly and a little sneaky.
"Hehe, of course I do. Asa laughed too.
"When people are too smart, they look down on other people and even the world. So this woman is constantly pursuing, pursuing everything, trying everything. On the contrary, this woman is a very beautiful woman. A woman's restlessness is inherently a problem, because she can easily get into trouble with other men. All the troubles finally came together, and finally they got out of trouble. This woman is also dead······"
"Luckily, the women I know don't look like that. Asa shrugged. "Women are restless and hate more than anything. But a man who is involved by a woman really can't be considered a great man······"
"That's why I've said a long time ago that a woman's biggest trouble is that people know it's trouble, but they still can't help but provoke it. Sandru shook his head and sighed. "Before this woman died, she had a son······ It seems that I heard that there are two more, but the men of this woman are all guys with special status, and none of them can be considered normal people, so they don't pay attention to his son. In the end, the baby didn't even know where it was abandoned, whether it was alive or dead. But the woman said before she died that her son would be involved in this trouble in the future, and that she had given birth to this baby to continue the trouble, and it was funny that she had made a bunch of old fellows suspicious······"
"yes, that's funny. Asa answered, but neither he nor Sandru had a smile on their faces.
"Well, yes. If, in case the baby was still alive, he would have hated this woman and the men who didn't know who his father was. Speaking of this, Sandru's face was a little unpleasant.
"Is this baby male or female?" Asa asked suddenly.
Sandru replied, "Male." ”
"Oh, that won't be. Asa shook his head and said lightly. "Although this has nothing to do with me, I know that as a man, I don't blame anyone. ”
"Oh?"
Asa spread his hands and said lightly: "Because blaming others has no meaning, it will not change any reality, blaming it is just an excuse to escape, a sign of weakness." Therefore, a real man will not blame anyone, but will only focus on what he has to do. And everyone has their own reasons for what they do, and no matter whether those people have anything to do with him or not, there is no reason to blame. At most, if you don't like it, you will beat him or kill him with a knife, what is to blame?"
Sandru was stunned. After a while, he took a long breath, shook his head a little unwillingly, and said, "Bastard." Why do I live so many years longer than you stinky boy, and have more beard than you, as if you understand men better than I do. ”
"It must be because you're young, don't be angry, I mean psychologically. Hehe. ”
"You bastard sissy brat, when did you become the man I'd be surprised to be. ”
"I don't know, I guess I don't know it. ”
"But thank you for helping me out. This story has been bothering me for a long time. Sandru smiled.
"It's a good and interesting story. Asa smiled and nodded.
"Well, now that the story is over, I won't bother you. I knew you'd be busy, and I'm leaving. ”
Asa looked at him and nodded, "Hmm." It's really fun to listen to your story and chat, so let's talk about it next time if you have the chance. ”
"Ahh Well, no problem. Bye. Sandru glanced at Asa deeply, and for a moment there was a brightness on his face that he had never seen before.
"Goodbye. ”
"Can we really say goodbye?" Asa felt a little sour as he watched Sandru's back finally disappear out of sight. He knew it wasn't going to be a chance.
