Chapter 32: The Mother's Death
"Allen, is the martial art you just used called Tiger Batao?"
"How do you know, Mr. Jensen?" said Allen, surprised. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
Jensen smiled bitterly, could he not know? I think that he had been saved by this set of martial arts more than once, and it was precisely because of this that he gradually fell in love with the girl who looked quiet and made a violent move.
"Who taught you this martial arts?"
"It's my mother," replied Allen, who always thought there was something strange about Mr. Jensen.
"Can you tell me what your mother's name is?" asked Jensen, expectantly.
"I don't know what my mother's name is, she never told me, what, Mr. Jensen, do you know my mother?"
Jensen couldn't help but sigh, Scarlett didn't even tell her son's name, didn't she want that guy to know Allen's identity?
But why did Scarlett inform him to take care of her son? Could she really trust him so much that she could trust her precious son to him, rather than to his father!
Who would know that the reason why Jensen, the famous ronin summoner, ended his wandering life and returned to his alma mater to teach, was not because he was tired of wandering days, nor because he missed the life of his alma mater, but simply because of a promise from a woman he met when he was young.
"Mr. Jensen? Mr. Jensen......"
Caught in his memories, Jensen was awakened by Allen's call, and only then did he realize that he had lost his temper in front of the students, and he sighed and asked, "Your mother—is she okay?"
"My mom, she's gone!" said Allen, in a somewhat gloomy tone.
"What?!" Jensen cried out in disbelief, "she's so strong and so young, how could she ...... Will he die?"
Alan sighed and said, "The barefoot doctor in the village said that Mom was malnourished and overworked for a long time, and the attack of the dark wound she suffered when she was young made it unbearable. ”
"Really?" Jensen seemed to be holding back his sorrow, but he couldn't help it, his voice trembled slightly, "It turns out that her life has been so hard after the separation, I never knew it!"
Alan didn't know what to say, he was already sure of one thing, that is, Mr. Jensen should be an old acquaintance with his mother, and the relationship should be good, otherwise Mr. Jensen would not have become like this when he heard the news of his mother's death.
"Why...... Jensen's eyes seemed a little moist, "why didn't you tell me sooner that I could have helped her...... Oh, yes, how could such a strong person accept the help of me, an irrelevant person!"
"Mr. Jensen, are you alright?" asked Allen, a little curiously.
"Oh, I'm fine, I'm a little excited when I hear that my old friend has passed away," Jensen hurriedly wiped the corners of his eyes, forced himself to calm down, and reluctantly smiled: "Are you doing well at school? If you lack something, just tell me, as long as I can help, I will definitely help." ”
Alan wanted to say that he would exchange his reward of one hundred gold coins back, but the beast spirit ball had already been bound to him, and he couldn't exchange it if he wanted to, so he could only smile and say, "I'm doing well, and my classmates are quite kind." ”
"That's good......"
Jensen said a few more words to Allen, Allen saw that Jensen was a little absent-minded, so he took his leave, and Jensen did not stay, and after Allen left, Jensen sat down on the chair in a dejected manner, and tears could not stop flowing from the corners of his eyes.
He still remembered that they met in a spring full of mountain flowers, more than ten years have passed, spring will still come, mountain flowers will still bloom, but the Yiren will never see each other again.
As soon as Alan came out of the teaching building, he felt the beast spirit ball in his trouser pocket vibrating incessantly, he hurriedly took out the beast spirit ball the size of a peanut grain, and as soon as he pressed the button, the beast spirit ball swelled to the size of his palm.
"Come out, Iron Guts. The beast spirit ball shot out a burst of light that was the same as when it absorbed the iron gall before, and a cute little monkey appeared out of thin air in the open space in front of Allen.
As soon as the little monkey came out, he jumped on Allen's neck with a scream, and angrily pulled Allen's hair, if it weren't for Allen's short hair, it is estimated that several of them would be ripped off on the spot.
"Okay, okay, Iron Courage, I know you don't like to go inside the beast spirit ball, okay if you don't let you in in the future, don't pull my hair!" Allen kept begging for mercy while protecting his hair with both hands.
Iron gall vented his anger, and then he quieted down, squatting on Allen's shoulder obediently, and his long tail was around Allen's neck, fluffy, a little itchy, it would be warm if it was winter, but now it was the turn of summer and autumn, and Allen wrapped a live fur scarf, and it was a little hot.
However, Alan didn't stop Iron Guts' actions, and finally got on good terms with this monkey uncle, and he didn't dare to mess up again.
The summoning academy ended early in the afternoon, and the competition of other colleges was in full swing, Alan did not choose to go back to the dormitory, but went directly to the fried chicken emperor, where he worked.
"Alan, why is it so early today?And, what's the matter with this monkey?" Ellie cried out in surprise when she saw Eren walking into the store with a monkey squatting on her shoulder, this girl was louder.
Allen recounted what happened today, including why he didn't come at noon and how he won the Freshman Cup.
"Wow, I can't see it, Alan, you're so powerful, it's not easy to win the championship of Deep Blue University," said Jean.
The Fried Chicken Emperor originally had three waiters, two women and a man, two women were Ellie and a girl named Julie, and the man was Jean, all three of them were in their early twenties, very young, lively and cheerful, and worked diligently, after Alan came, the relationship with the three of them was quite good, because Alan was relatively young and a student, so the three of them took good care of him.
Hearing Jean's compliment, Alan scratched his head embarrassedly and smiled: "Good luck, good luck......"
Ellie smiled: "Good luck, strong strength, in short, congratulations, let's go to have a good meal together after work, we should celebrate your championship, I have a treat, how about it?"
"yes......" Before Alan could speak, Jean and Julie jumped up and cheered loudly.
"Then thank you Sister Ellie," Alan said, a little embarrassed.
"It's fine!"
"Oh, little monkey, that's from the guest, you can't eat it!" Julie suddenly exclaimed.
As soon as Alan heard it, he knew that something was wrong, and when he followed the sound, he saw Iron Courage standing on the counter, holding an oversized fried chicken leg in his hand, eating it, Julie was holding a plate with a bitter face, and there were only French fries and Coke left on the plate, and the box that was supposed to contain the fried chicken leg was empty.
Alan didn't need to ask to know that it was Iron Courage who stole it while Julie was not paying attention, and with the speed of Iron Courage, it was difficult for him to stop it, not to mention that Julie, who was an ordinary person, Allen's head was a little big.
Seeing this situation, Ellie smiled and said: "It's okay, it's okay, the little monkey is also the hero of Allen's championship, it's okay to eat a chicken leg, just treat me in advance, Julie, you go to the kitchen and let the master make one, I'll just explain it to the guest." ”
"Sister Ellie, I'm really sorry to trouble you. ”
"It's okay!" Ellie waved her hand and went to explain to the guest, she would come here to eat at this time, and it was estimated that she was also a student of the Summoning Academy, and most of the young people didn't care about this kind of thing, and everyone didn't take it to heart.
Alan rubbed his head, and reluctantly began the education work of Iron Courage, Iron Courage probably thought that he had fought for Allen before, and now eating a chicken leg is a matter of course, and it can be seen from his expression that he is very dissatisfied with Allen's preaching, and even a little bored.
"Iron gall, I said that I would invite you to eat chicken legs, but not now, you have to wait for me to give you something to eat, you can eat it, this is the guest's chicken legs, you can't eat it casually, what if the guest gets angry?"
Iron gall ate the meat on the chicken leg clean, and the remaining bone was slowly gnawed, probably really tired of listening, and suddenly knocked Allen on the head with a half-gnawed chicken bone, Allen was talking, and one didn't pay attention to let it hit, so angry that he smoked and glared at the proud iron gall.
"Flutter-" Ellie, who had finished explaining to the guest, just saw this scene, and couldn't help but burst out laughing, and while reaching out to touch Tie Gut's head, she smiled and said, "You little monkey really has a personality, and you can even beat the master, hehe-"
"Don't ......" Alan knew that Iron Courage didn't like others to touch its head, and was about to stop Ellie's movements, but was surprised to find that Iron Courage actually let Ellie touch its head, and the little face seemed to be quite enjoyable.
Alan stared at this scene with wide eyes, almost staring out of surprise in surprise, he said with some jealousy: "It's incredible that Iron Guts actually let you touch its head, you must know that it won't even let me touch it, as long as I touch its head, it has to jump up and protest!"
While rubbing the little head of the iron gall fondly, Ellie smiled and said, "Is it? Probably because I really like it, it feels my kindness, so it is willing to let me touch it, it is called iron gall, right? Little iron gall, I can't beat your master in the future." ”
Seeing this scene, Alan suddenly remembered what Jensen said, summoning beasts can read people's hearts, as long as they have good intentions, they can get the favor of summoning beasts, is what Mr. Jensen said true?
Iron Courage listened to Ellie's words, glanced at Allen, and made a "squeak" sound from between his teeth, as if to say, look at his performance!
Ellie couldn't help but laugh and said in an envious tone: "It's so cute, so obedient, if only I could have a pet like this!"
Alan snorted, cute, obedient, hehe, you haven't seen it when it's not cute and disobedient.
Iron gall finished eating the bones, and suddenly climbed onto Ellie's shoulders nimbly, wrapped his tail around Ellie's neck, and squeaked twice.
"Haha, it's so itchy—" Ellie laughed so hard that her whole body trembled, and she didn't know if it was because of the itch or because she was happy.
When Alan saw it, he was jealous in his heart, you are a brave man, and when you see a beautiful woman, you become like this, and even the master has forgotten.
Ellie and Iron Courage played for a while, and suddenly caught a glimpse of Allen's appearance, smiled and hugged Iron Courage, put it on the counter near Allen's side, and said with a smile: "Okay, stop playing, if you continue to play with me, your master doesn't know how to be jealous!"
Iron Courage glanced at Allen, deliberately turned his back towards Allen, and tilted his head to show his disdain for Allen.
Alan snorted angrily and said, "I'm not jealous, it likes to play with whomever it likes!"
