Chapter 5: The Present and the Past

In the high wall of sanitation, within a radius of 100 zhang on the left and right, a piece of undulating buildings reveals strange colors. The gilded pagoda-like spire shimmered in the sun, the head of the tiger and lion at the end of the eaves showed hideous majesty, even the gate was built on dozens of steps, dozens of sturdy heavily armored guards at the gate were heavily guarded, and there was even a strange beast golden roar crouching in the shadow on the left side of the gate.

Chenguang and his entourage looked at the graceful buildings in front of them, and then turned back to look at the low-rise mud-paved houses in the city, the passers-by walking silently with their heads bowed and their faces covered with vegetables, and the thin children leaning over the dirty river to drink, and the same thought surged in their hearts: What is going on in this country?

The young prince of the Tatar kingdom turned a blind eye to everything that happened beside him, and since the beginning of his entry into the city, he ignored the morning light and the sheep's horns that rode in front of him, and only cared about showing off his erudition and talent to Amytis, who was sitting in the carriage, but Amysis only smiled lightly, but her eyes drifted ahead.

As for how Chenguang and his party could go with this heir Shaojun, it has to go back to three days ago.

When the young prince proposed to invite Amytis and her party to the Tatar kingdom, everyone was ready to refuse, but the young prince did not give a few people a chance at all, and called on his subordinates to drag the heavenly boat to the river with horses, and then told everyone that the river led directly to a city on the border of the Tatar country, and then vacated a carriage for the ladies of Amytis, Weixue and Zuo Tao. As for the morning light and the ram's horn, they each got a horse.

Chenguang was still about to refuse at this time, but the horns secretly signaled that this young monarch of the Tatar Kingdom should be helpful in repairing the Heavenly Boat, so it was better to let him go and act again. Just when the morning light was hesitating, a grass kite fell from the sky, which was actually the technique of breaking the grass into a kite performed by the people of Tiexiong Mountain. The grass kite brought the news from the Star Moon Valley that the Tiexiong Mountain people and a group of senior brothers had temporarily suppressed the ancient alien beasts with the Pegasus Stepping Formation Method, but as the alien beasts woke up for a long time, their strength slowly recovered, and the Pegasus Stepping Array was difficult to suppress after all, and the Yin and Yang Treasure Mirror must be retrieved within two months to be restrained. The people of Tiexiong Mountain also instructed Chenguang to take safety as the priority for this experience, and to act carefully, if he really can't retrieve the treasure mirror, he must return safely, and he and his wife will find colleagues from all parties to work together to solve the strange beast.

Chenguang got the master's message, and he had an idea in his heart, so he reported the current situation to the master with a grass kite, and then, agreed to the request of the young king of the Tatar country, and everyone followed the Tatar country and his party to the city.

Speaking of this grass kite, it is a common communication technique used by practitioners to form a kite. It is the application of the Tao on the formed grass kite, so that the grass kite can fly on its own, and the grass kite is scribbled with graphite, and the destination is usually set by the practitioner himself, or in the form of an object blessed by the caster, or someone with a certain kind of Taoist art, or so on.

The flight of this grass kite is not affected by the region, and because of the blessing of the caster's Taoism, it is not affected by wind and rain, and the grassland itself is small, flying in the high altitude, it is difficult to detect at all, and it is an extremely safe communication technique. The disadvantage is that the destination must be set in advance, and the grass kite cannot determine by itself, and if the person receiving the message leaves the original place, it may not be delivered.

The grass kite of the Tiexiong Mountain people came in search of the dustless sword, and after the grass kite arrived, it stopped steadily on the dustless sword hilt.

The flight of the grass kite, the speed of the grass kite, the distance and the distance, all depend on the level of the practitioner's Dao method, such as the Tiexiong Mountain Man, who ranks among the twelve immortals of the human race, the speed of the grass kite is close to that of the heavenly boat, and the distance of the flight is almost infinite. And the cultivation of Chenguang is too low, and the speed of the grass kite put back is much slower.

Besides, this city is a border city of the Tatar Kingdom, and it is said that it should be heavily garrisoned, but because this city is located in the northeast of the Henggu Plain, adjacent to the Tianshan Mountains and the Xingyue Valley, the Xingyue Valley has been said to have immortals living in it since ancient times, and ordinary people dare not approach, and the Tianshan Mountains are steep, covered with ice and snow all the year round, and there are many strange beasts in the mountains, even cultivators do not dare to set foot easily, it is more dangerous than the Xingyue Valley, and it is almost a forbidden place for human beings. To the southeast of the city is another country on the Henggu Plain, the country of Sairen and the Tatar country have been repaired from generation to generation, this generation is concentric against the powerful Xia Yan country, there is almost no threat of war in the city, so there are no heavy troops stationed in the city, only two or three thousand troops patrol, and it is used to resist mountain bandits and rogues.

The young prince was still babbling about the treasures of the Tatar treasury to Amy, and at this time, the procession had come to the majestic building.

Hundreds of people stood under the dozens of steps, the middle-aged man in the lead had flowing eyebrows, faintly had the style of a master, and when he saw two of the seven demon generals leading the team to the front, he immediately took the lead in kneeling on the ground, and shouted in his mouth: "Weichen Yaojin patrol makes Feng Cheng greet His Royal Highness Shaojun!" Hundreds of people behind him, along with the soldiers and strange beasts on the steps, also immediately knelt down.

The young gentleman stepped forward, his eyes swept over the people who were kneeling on the ground, and said loudly: "Feng Qing is exempt from courtesy, get up and take over quickly." Then he returned to Amy's carriage and said to Amy, "Miss Alice, you have worked hard all the way, please come in and rest." ”

After that Feng Cheng got up, he bowed again and said, "The driving matters have been prepared, Shaojun, please come in." The heir got off his horse, and led Amy in front of him up the steps into the gate. Zuo Tao and Sheep's Horn, Chenguang and Weixue and the three demon generals entered the door in turn, and when they entered the door, Chenguang saw that there were three big characters "Lingfeng Mansion" hanging on the door.

The appearance of Lingfeng Mansion only feels that the weather is magnificent, and the style is very great, and when you step into the mansion, there is no cave.

The entrance is an empty square, vertical and horizontal dozens of zhang square, there is a corridor on the left and right of the gate, the corridor is tortuous and secluded, I don't know the depth of the house. In the square, there is a wide gravel avenue, and the green pines of eight trees and two or three people are separated on both sides of the avenue, and it seems to protect the corridors on both sides. At the end of the avenue, a large hall with a garlic-like spire stands in the middle, and the temple next to it extends, but it is blocked by green pines, and it is difficult to see the whole picture.

Everyone entered the main hall, the guests and hosts finished the ceremony, Feng Cheng arranged for the maid to lead the morning light and his party to the guest room to rest, and he personally led the heir Shaojun to the study to discuss the matter.

The guest room is on the right side of the square, and several maids lead everyone through the corridor, through a square portal, and the eyes suddenly open up.

Snow white a square compound, in the middle of the compound is a square pool, the pool water is clear and visible to the bottom. Around the pool, there are eight sculptures of strange beasts of the same size of two feet, and the strange beasts face the pool, spitting out a clear spring and rippling water.

The guest rooms are surrounded by three sides of the pool, and there are three rooms on the left and right sides, and there are only two rooms on the side facing the portal, but they are significantly larger than the rooms on the left and right sides.

The maids led Morning Light and Sheep's Horn to the room on the left, and Yuxue, Amy, and Peach to the room on the right. When everyone was settled, the maids retired.

Chenguang came to the sheep's horn room, and was about to discuss what to do next, when the conversation between the two had just begun, but he heard Weixue over there shouting Amy Silk to play in the water in the courtyard.

Chenguang pushed open the window, only to see two figures, one white and one yellow, already frolicking in the courtyard, and by the pool, there was also a fluffy figure, and Chubby also came out to play in the water.

Chenguang watched the two big and one small playing in the courtyard in the water, and was also happy, and smiled at Wei Xue: "There is no way to change the bear's fur when it gets wet." ”

Wei Xue was not to be outdone, she made a grimace at the morning light and showed her two little tiger teeth, and sneered: "I'm afraid that if I get wet, stay in the room and don't come out, you can't wear our clothes." ”

Where can the morning light show weakness, and immediately replied: "Some short hairs are indeed not afraid of getting wet, and on such a hot day, they will dry out in the sun." ”

When Chenguang said this, everyone covered their mouths and laughed, and even Zuo Tao pushed open the window and looked at the interesting things in the courtyard with interest.

Wei Xue was so angry that she babbled and yelled, and finally yelled: "Chenguang, you big liar who sleeps without clothes, my hair is harmed by you!

The so-called Tiger Roaring Mountain Forest, the grass and trees are shocked. As soon as she spoke, the leaves around her shook off, and everyone was silent and did not dare to speak, even Chubby's eyes widened and he was petrified on the spot. For a while, there was silence in the small courtyard, and only the rustling of fallen leaves was heard in the wind.

After a while, it was Chenguang who was the first to react, he swept out of the window, waved his hand at everyone and said, "No...... No...... No...... Not what you think, I ...... I ......"

Before he finished speaking, Wei Xue had already turned around and covered her face and rushed into the room, slamming the door shut, leaving the morning light waving her hand to stay in the courtyard, and everyone clearly saw that when Wei Xue entered the house, a touch of red went straight to the root of the ear.

Amy Silk glared at Chenguang meaningfully, picked up the fat and said softly, "You can't learn badly, let's go into the house and rest." Chubby echoed and danced, and Amy Rose turned around and went back to the house.

Zuo Tao shook his head at the morning light in the courtyard, but with a smile on his face, he slowly closed the window. Or the sheep's horn came out to save the scene, and called Chenguang into the house in a timely manner to say something, Chenguang looked at the empty yard, and had no choice but to sweep the empty courtyard with the cool breeze, so he had to pull his head into the house of the sheep's horn.

Chenguang entered the house of the sheep's horns, looked at the sheep's horns and smiled bitterly, sat down at the table, poured a glass of water, and drank it to himself. Sheep's horn stared at the morning light for a long time before he slowly said, "It's good to be young." ”

Without waiting for Chenguang to answer, Sheephorn said: "Three days ago, we took advantage of the situation and entered the Tatar Kingdom with that heir Shaojun, and today Shaoxia also sensed that the monster was hundreds of miles away in the southwest, what are the plans of Shaoxia now?"

Chenguang saw the horns talking about business, and said solemnly: "That heir Shaojun is obviously for Miss Amy, if he stays with Miss Amy Silk for a long time, if he does not step up the maintenance of Tianzhou, it will be difficult to deal with it." ”

Sheep's horn nodded and said: "What Shaoxia said is good, but the damage to Tianzhou is not serious, the main thing is to remove the debris on the inner wall and repair the outer wall." If there are raw materials, I can repair them in two days at most. But I'm worried about something else. ”

Hearing this, Chenguang chuckled and said, "What are the seniors worried about, but this Lingfeng Mansion and Tianzhou?"

The sheep horn was slightly startled, and then said with relief: "Yes, I have seen that with the wisdom of the young man, he knows no reason." As he spoke, he poured himself a glass of water and said, "This Tianzhou was robbed by me and Zuo Tao from the border of Xia Yanguo, and at that time, I just saw that this Tianzhou was sparsely guarded and unarmed, so I guessed that it was purchased by a certain dignitary. It wasn't until today that he entered this Lingfeng Mansion and saw that Yao Jin patrolling Feng Cheng did he know ......" Speaking of this, he shook his head and smiled bitterly, and drank the water in the cup in one gulp.

Chenguang smiled and said: "The first time I saw that Feng Cheng, I also felt déjà vu, but I never saw it at all, until I accidentally caught a glimpse of the token on the corner of his clothes, the white Pegasus and the patrol word, exactly the same as the one on our Tianzhou, I knew that the Tianzhou was his." But I don't think there's anything to worry about. ”

Without waiting for the horns to ask, Chenguang continued: "Because although this Tianzhou is his, but that heir Shaojun has already sent the Tianzhou along the river, this Feng Cheng must have known that we robbed his Tianzhou, maybe he has secretly reported it to the heir Shaojun." But when we came here, he still treated us as a guest, and it must have been the young gentleman's order, so I expected that this matter would be fine, and even the young gentleman had already given us the heavenly boat in order to please Amy. ”

Hearing him say this, Sheephorn also nodded slightly: "This matter is indeed possible, but after all, we have taken away other people's treasures, I am afraid that things will not be so simple, we still have to be careful." ”

Sheep's horn then asked: "Shaoxia has detected the Yin-Yang Treasure Mirror hundreds of miles away in the southwest today, and judging from this, the monster treasure thief must be heading for that place, so we don't have to be in a hurry." ”

Hearing this, Chenguang asked, "The seniors have already guessed where the monsters are, so why don't you have to be in a hurry?"

Sheephorn said: "The young man doesn't seem to know much about this world. ”

Chenguang nodded and said: "My junior sister and I grew up in the Xingyue Valley since we were children, and we have never left the valley, and everything in the world is just mentioned by the master and my wife. The master once said that we can't understand the things in the world unless we have experienced it ourselves, so he didn't want to mention it too much to us, but only taught us some things that we must know. The two of me didn't expect to leave the Star Moon Valley so early, so I was really puzzled by everything in this world, and I asked my seniors for advice. ”

Sheep's horn said: "The things in the world can't be solved without personal experience, the Tiexiong Immortal is really a master outside the world, abandon the distractions of the world and concentrate on cultivation, no wonder the young man can have this cultivation at a young age." However, Shaoxia has now entered the WTO, so he should know more about this world. ”

After a slight pause, Sheephorn said, "But more than a hundred years ago, everyone thought that this world was a large flat land, covered with continents, oceans, and islands. More than 350 years ago, Phantom Heaven Yao Jin appeared in the world, at the beginning it was only a thing for cultivators to improve their cultivation, and two hundred years later, the ghost talent was made into an "image", and for the first time, he used the power of Phantom Sky Yao Jin to drive things. Ten years later, the public transport class built the world's first heavenly boat, and he took the heavenly boat straight up for nine days, and finally saw the origin of our world, and we actually lived on a huge ball. ”

Speaking of this, Sheephorn sighed and said: "The ghost talent is amazing, and he rode the heavenly boat he built to soar, but unexpectedly, the wind above the nine heavens was unpredictable, and the heavenly boat fell out of control, and a generation of geniuses fell. Later generations found his records when cleaning up the remains of Tianzhou and learned what he had seen above the Nine Heavens. The world couldn't believe this, and it wasn't until another fifty years later, when Xia Yanguo, with his peak national strength and the efforts of many skilled craftsmen, finally copied Tianzhou, which proved that what the public lost class said was true. ”

Chenguang exclaimed: "This public losing class is really a genius! The master also taught the world to be round, but he said that it was discovered by Xia Yan's wise man, and he did not mention the matter of the public losing class. ”

Sheephorn said: "This male loser class is not a human race, but a wizard of my demon race." After learning of the last words of the public defeat class, all the countries of the human race closed the news on the grounds of misleading the public, and it was not until Xia Yan proved this that it was the wise man of Xia Yan who claimed that it was done by the wise man of Xia Yan, so as to improve the morale of their country and unite the people, which is also normal. ”

Chenguang said: "I wonder if what our predecessors said is related to our pursuit of the Yin Yang Treasure Mirror?"

Sheep's horn nodded, "Not bad." After Xia Yanguo built the Heavenly Boat, he conducted a detailed survey of the world. It turns out that there are five continents in our world, each continent stretches tens of thousands of miles, and each continent is separated by an ocean larger than the continent. We are located in the Shenzhou Continent, which is the first continent in the world, but to the north is a sea, which has been covered by ice and snow for many years, and the waves are not alarmed, so it is called the Quiet Sea. To the east of the Shenzhou Continent is the second largest sea in the world, the Angry Sea, which is named after the perennial storms and waves on this sea. Further east, there is another continent - the mainland of Kanchanaburi. This continent to the south of it is the only one of the five continents that is connected, and because most of the two continents are verdant at that time, it was named the North Chan Continent and the Nantaburi Continent, also known as the Emerald Twin Continents. ”

Chenguang continued: "The master said that Xia Yan is the first power in this world, but there is still another big country that can be compared with Xia Yan, this country calls itself Mitarion, which is on the continent of Kanchanaburi. ”

Sheep's horn nodded, "That's true." But Mitarion's rapid rise is due to Xia Yan's mastery of technology, including the technology of building a heavenly boat. But this country does not know the Entu, vainly trying to dominate the world, causing Xia Yan to be disgusted, the two countries gradually turned against each other, in recent years has been on the same footing, if it were not for the angry sea separation, I am afraid that the war would have already ignited. ”

Hearing this, Chenguang seemed to be thoughtful, looked at him, and continued: "The Nu Sea starts from the east of the Shenzhou Continent, spans thousands of miles of seas, and extends to the south, where it meets the Taigu Sea, the largest sea in the world. Across the two seas and further south, is the most peculiar continent in the world - the Southern Continent. Only the marginal areas of this continent can be seen on the land, and most of the center is wrapped in 10,000-year-old ice, and the wind is howling, and the ice and snow do not melt. Therefore, the world also called this continent the center of the continent the land of permafrost, and also called the forbidden land of life.

More than fifty years ago, Xia Yan had sent people to explore there, and at that time, a total of five heavenly boats, thousands of elite soldiers, and dozens of high-strength cultivators were dispatched, and the leader was one of the twelve earth immortals at that time, Xia Yanguo's high-ranking Heavenly Sword Yu Qian. However, a few months later, only one of the Heavenly Boats was able to return due to an accident before they could enter the Permafrost. According to the people on the boat, there are ancient beasts infested on the southern continent, which are extremely dangerous. And those who went into the depths of the Permafrost, including Heavenly Sword Yu Qian, no one returned. ”

Chenguang exclaimed: "There is such a dangerous place, even the earth immortal-level characters are not immune?"

Sheephorn nodded, did not answer, and continued: "The southwest of the Shenzhou Continent is the last continent, and when the people sent by Xia Yanguo arrived at that continent, they only felt that the local yellow sand was all over the field, and the scorching sun was unbearable, so this continent was called the Golden Wind and Fire Land, and later referred to as the Golden Fire Continent. It is on this continent that a great secret in this world is hidden. ”

Hearing Sheephorn say this, Chenguang knew that he had already reached the point, so he listened attentively, and Sheephorn said: "In the history of our world, there have been three great wars for survival, and the last two are believed to be known to everyone, that is, the battle between the human race and the demon race. But the First World War was so old that little was known about it. But my demon clan has a person who witnessed the great war at that time is still alive, so I know much more about that battle than the human race. ”

Before he finished speaking, the morning light bounced up from his seat and exclaimed: "Impossible, according to legend, the ancient war between gods and demons was ten thousand years ago, who could survive such a long time!"

Sheephorn seemed to expect him to react like this, and said with a faint smile: "Don't worry, young man, listen to me slowly." ”

Chenguang grabbed a glass of water, drank it all, took a few deep breaths, and then sat down in a daze, listening to the horns of the sheep and continue: "This witness is none other than my demon ancestor. Shaoxia has never seen my demon ancestor, so it is certain to be suspicious, but if Shaoxia is lucky enough to see my demon clan, I believe you will no longer have doubts. Saying that, the sheep's horns said to Chenguang meaningfully: "The war between gods and demons, can the young man know a thing or two?"

Chenguang replied: "Master said, the war between gods and demons ten thousand years ago, the cause was the invasion of the demon race by the demon race, the demon race is strong, just one or two demons can match the earth immortal level master, the human race is invincible, ask for help from the demon race, and the two sides join forces to fight against the strong enemy." But the demon clan is too strong, the human race and the demon clan are still invincible to the demon race, after many battles, the two clans withered away, only more than 10,000 remnants remained, retreated to the Tianshan Mountains, to make the last resistance. Seeing that the human race and the demon race were about to suffer a catastrophe, at this time, the gods appeared, rained down the thunder and fire, and eliminated the demons. ”

Sheephorn smiled and shook his head: "What Shaoxia said is no different from the rumors in the market, but this is not the truth. Ten thousand years ago, there were two races in the world living in opposition to each other, one of them was huge in size, born with different abilities, and could cause thunder and fire with a gesture, fierce and abnormal, but this race was low in intelligence, did not want to make progress, and lived a life of drinking blood; the other group was weak in appearance, but very intelligent and good at cultivating. This race is not a human race, but a clan people. ”

Sheephorn looked at the wide-eyed morning light, and continued expressionlessly: "Although the two clans have no contact, the population of the clan and the demon clan at that time was not large, and they are both descendants of the gods, and the two sides have always been safe. Until one day, the demons seemed to be possessed by evil spirits, and they became ferocious, and began to slaughter all living beings on the ground frantically. In order to stop the demons, the clan gathered the strong people of the whole clan to try their best to stop the demons. The two clans fought from the mountains, forests and grasslands to the wasteland covered with yellow sand, and at this time, there were few elite cultivators left of the clan, but the demon clan was still strong. Seeing that the clan was about to be defeated, the gods came to the world and expelled the demons with thunder and fire, but the gods felt that the demons were also created by themselves, and could not bear to exterminate them, so they used great magical powers to seal the demon seal and seal the entire wasteland where the demons were located. The gods also told the elders of the clan that the heavens have the virtue of a good life, and if one day the clan multiplies and prospers and no longer fears the demons, it is the time when the demons can see the light of day again. The gods then left behind the unsealed thing that sealed the demon seal and flew away. ”

When Chenguang heard this, he seemed to have understood, and muttered, "Seal the Demon Seal...... Deprinting ...... But that clan, isn't it ......?"

Sheep's horn nodded and said, "The young man is really thorough." The Demon Ancestor of my Demon Clan also suspects that the Yin Yang Treasure Mirror is related to the Demon Seal. And that clan, in the future is indeed divided into two branches, one of which is called the human race, the other still calls itself the clan human race, the two sides in the later generations are finally turned against each other, after the war, the human race defeated the clan human race, the remnants of the clan human race to the extreme cold of the north of the frozen tundra and Bailing Island, and took away the name of the clan, so there is my demon clan. ”

Chenguang stayed for a while before he said slowly: "It turns out ...... So...... It's unbelievable. Thinking that the final battlefield of the war between gods and demons is full of yellow sand, could it be that it is on the Golden Wind and Fire Continent, is the sealing seal also there, and the treasure thief monster is heading southwest, I am afraid it is for the sealing of the demon seal. ”

Sheep's horn said: "By common sense, it should be so." ”

Chenguang hurriedly said: "The predecessors must know where the sealing seal is, and since we know where the monster wants to go, we don't have to chase after it, just rush to intercept the monster before the sealing seal." ”

"That's true." From the Shenzhou Continent to the Golden Wind and Fire Continent, you need to cross the Taigu Strait, and presumably the monster will have to work hard to cross it, and we have a heavenly boat, so it should not be difficult to cross the sea. It's just that I haven't been to the Land of Sealing Demons either, and the Golden Fire Continent is as vast as the Shenzhou Continent, and I have to look for it after I arrive, but for now, I should repair the Heavenly Boat as soon as possible. ”

Chenguang nodded yes. The two began to discuss how to repair the Tianzhou as soon as possible.

The two were discussing, but there were a few knocks outside the door of the guest room, and a female voice said: "Little woman Feng Lingyan invites a few distinguished guests to the back hall for dinner." Just one sentence, but like a yellow warbler out of the valley, tactful and melodious, and like a clear spring of stream, clear and beautiful, making people feel comfortable and relaxed.

Sheep's horn and Chenguang opened the door, only to see a woman standing outside the door, this woman's snow-skinned face, elegant and refined, smiling, like a fairy coming to the world, sheep's horns and Chenguang were actually standing at the door for this peerless face, until the woman gently turned around to call the opposite Zuo Tao, Amy Silk and Weixue, the sheep's horn and Chenguang came back to their senses.

The two of them looked at each other, both surprised that there was such a color in the world.

The woman invited a few people to the door of the small courtyard, and said in the preface: "The little woman is smoky, and her father Feng Cheng has prepared afternoon dinner in the back hall, so the little woman is specially ordered to come and invite her." ”

Chenguang looked at Zuo Tao's women, they were obviously surprised by Feng Lingyan's beauty, especially Wei Xue, who had lived in that valley for more than ten years, and had seen so many people in total, staring at Feng Lingyan intently at the moment.

Feng Lingyan was gone, and he was generous in front of everyone to guide the way. A few people followed her, and only then did they notice that she was still carrying a few maids, and they could only marvel at the wind and smoke and light, which was impressive, and it was difficult to care about anything else.

The group walked through the courtyard corridor, passed through the right side of the main hall, and after a few turns, entered the backyard. At this time, Amy Silk, who was following behind Feng Lingyan, asked out loud: "Miss Feng Lingyan, do you know that the heir Shaojun is also here?" She always looked at Feng Lingyan all the way, looking eager to try, and finally couldn't help but ask out loud at this time.

Feng Lingyan turned his head lightly and said: "Cousin and my father still have to discuss in the study, so the little girl will entertain you for lunch. ”
