Side story "My Hero"
I'm going to find out how those two cooing chickens come here, damn it, there's no pattern at all!
This is a task given to me by the patriarch, and I haven't eaten for three days for this task. The patriarch said that if you can't touch the pattern of their appearance, you will never want to eat! Yes, I am an obedient child. The patriarch only said that he was not allowed to eat, but he did not say that he was not allowed to eat dry food.
Alas, how can you eat such a terrible thing in Stone Town, but it costs fifty yuan stones to buy it. Fifty yuan stones, don't think it's very little, it can meet the ration of a poor family for a year. There are no rich families here, and even if there were, they were robbed.
When he was nine years old, robbers came to the house. My mother was stabbed to protect me. At that time, I especially hoped that my father would show up soon and drive the strongmen away. Everything in the house was removed, and when I thought it was safe and went out the door, I saw my father kneeling and trembling in front of the bandits. So, from that moment on, my dream changed from being a blacksmith to being a robber. Because, after all, his father is not strong, he can't protect his mother, and his only role is to take care of his mother in every detail.
No, he also has one of the biggest roles, which is to quarrel with me. For example, he didn't approve of me being a robber. Well, I admit that it was a decision that was extremely disappointing for him.
Now, I have a bigger ambition, I want to be a hero. The father was also in favor, and as for the mother, she would not at least not object. Of course, she wouldn't approve of it, because the stab wound made it impossible for her to make any more decisions.
Heaven and earth can be seen, she finally doesn't have to nag in front of me. However, I miss those days very much.
Perhaps, it is only by losing that you know how wonderful it is to have.
I don't care about that, sometimes I wish my father would go crazy and send my mother to the underworld. I know how bad the idea is, because I don't want to see her holding her father and shouting my name again.
Well, as a son, I think I'm qualified to sit down with my father and talk about my ideals.
I'm going to be a hero!
My father's powerful fist smashed me and made me cough. Although I wasn't quite used to the way he expressed his feelings, I mustered up the courage to continue, I want to be the hero who overthrew the king!
My father didn't quarrel with me this time, he just silently picked up the bowl on the stove, and there were two shredded rabbit meat floating in the bowl that looked like clear water. It was a special dinner for my mother, and my father and I were going hungry.
The father said while feeding the mother, he wanted to save his life!
I'm angry, even though I'm not a professional hero, I'm not a professional bandit. As a father, I always want to show my support. Even if you pat me on the shoulder and say to me, "Good son, save your life, how can you talk nonsense?" Even if I am an amateur, you can't insult me like this!
That night, at my mother's bedside, my father told me a story.
Years ago, when he went into the mountains to collect ore, he picked up a baby on a stone slab. Because he was picked up on a slate, he was named a slate.
Damn, this story isn't true! I roared at him to stop!
But it was as if he was telling a story that had nothing to do with me.
I am different, and in his eyes, I am always different. Among the hundreds of children of the same age throughout Lake Mora, I am also different.
If they were sheep, then I could only be a wolf. The wolf wants to eat meat, but he can't make me eat meat. Living with sheep, I can only eat grass!
He hated himself!
My young hero, Kao, screamed in pain as he pounded his chest and screamed in pain! Mother pulled him nervously, singing a song that I knew too well to be familiar with: My good slate, not in a hurry, not angry, not in a fuss, and the night crying bird laughed when she saw it.
Oh my God, all the gods I've left behind, what's wrong with me?
Listen, I feel like I'm asleep.
I dreamed that I was leading a mighty army of slabs and crushing the guards of the royal city. I saw the greedy king bury his face in a leg of lamb dripping with oil. I raised my sword and cut the leg of lamb in the king's hand in two. I picked up a leg of lamb that had fallen on the table and put it in my arms.
I said to him, "This is mine!"
Yes, that was the end of my first revolt.
The patriarch said that there are always some strange things in this world, and what is heard is not true, and even what is seen is not true.
The patriarch said that it was not the gods who forsaken us, but that we forsaken the gods. We are self-imprisoned in the Eclipse Mountains, and no one knows that there is a small world here. Even so, the barren Lake Mora is like a weak mother, raising generations of children.
The patriarch said that the mouth of the Eclipse Valley was a moat, and it was a very magical place. It only takes one step to get out, but it's hard to come back......
The patriarch said that all things have spirits, and food is a gift of nature, and we should be grateful before we eat it. Although the gods can't hear it, we still have to pray for God's mercy and ask them to bless the children to grow up safely and not to go through too many storms.
The patriarch said that letting go of self-esteem is sometimes to win the final victory, and it has become a habit for us dwarves to treat people equally, which is easy to say, but the most difficult thing is whether we can treat ourselves equally and let go of ourselves, so that we can become a dwarf with a strong heart.
The patriarch said, maybe in the human world, we dwarves have become legends. But no matter how time passes, the dwarves are a kind, strong, and brave race. No one can surpass it, not even the gods of the earth.
The patriarch said that the Heavenly Trench Array in the Eclipse Pass was destined to collapse, and when the Light Messenger arrived, it was the moment when our race reappeared. Children, grow up in peace, and that day may not be far off. It has appeared countless times in my dreams, and maybe that world is not what you want it to be, but this is what our generation can only do. Going from one dark place to another, who's to say, isn't that the way out?
I don't understand, I can only do what I have to do. I took the boys to hunt, to gather herbs, to learn how to make fruit wine. I secretly sent those unturned Yuan Stones to the outside of the Eclipse Mountain.
I'm waiting for those two cooing chickens. They're going to come here and take those Yuan Stones. They'll put some \b food here. They seemed to be blind to me. For the sake of my family, for the sake of those who do not have enough to eat, I am grateful to them.
Friend, remember my name. I'm Kao?
I come from a downcast, forgotten race: the dwarves!
My father is Kao Shishan! He is my eternal hero! A great blacksmith! He once refined spirit swords for paper realm cultivators. Although he failed, it was the greatest achievement of his life! He was the hero of the whole Lake Mora!
