My father was born on an autumn afternoon, and when he was born, the men were harvesting the wheat and the women were mostly going down to the fields to deliver food and water.

When Grandmother Sumi screamed and struggled in bed, there were only a few people in the castle: the terminally ill hostess lay upstairs; An old man dozing off in the porter; A smiling old lady sews clothes for a child who is about to be born; A grumpy fat woman feeds the lord's livestock.

There was a horse in the stable whose leg was lame, and it could have been cured: if a splint had been tied to the leg when he was lame, and he would have been fine after a period of rest. But grandfather failed to treat it, and for a few years the horse could not recover, but it was very docile, and every time he asked for something, he never made a temperament, but he could only walk slowly, whether you hit it or kick it, it just stared at you with big eyes, and walked quietly and slowly. The fat woman liked the horse very much, because it was docile and looked pitiful.

When my grandfather went to Rhodoc last fall, he didn't take the horse with him, but asked a farmer to take good care of it. Grandfather told him to give him an extra pound of oats a day, and the rest of the horses were the same. But the farmer hated the horse, for it could do nothing but carry things slowly. The farmer deliberately reduced the horse's crop. The weakness of the horse soon attracted the attention of the hostess, who by that time was almost unable to walk herself.

She knew that her son-in-law loved the horse, and for seven years she had completely given the burden of the family to his son-in-law. She had thought that the horse was sick, but one morning she was trembling to the window to see the manor she had been looking at for half her life, when she suddenly heard the farmer's scolding. She called the steward to see what was going on, and the steward came back to say that the farmer had been kicked by his master's lame horse. The hostess was amazed that the horse never attacked people. The butler then hinted at the farmer's previous actions. The hostess's face turned blue in the cough, and she said to let the housekeeper watch and deal with it.

That afternoon, the Nord farmer was tied to the stable and whipped 10 times, and his family's grain was brought and placed in the lame horse's trough. The Nords' faces were flushed, and they cursed loudly in the Beihai dialect that people didn't understand. That night, the butler was about to go out and let the Nords go, and when he was untying the ropes, the Nords broke the butler's nose with a punch and ran away, saying before leaving: "Except for the master, the Svadians are all dog things".

The Nords discredited the village, hoping that their compatriots would go with him.

At dawn, nine Nords tied the grumpy fellow to the castle and let the mistress go.

The butler, with a white bandage around his nose, came over and slapped him twice. He's going to put him in a dungeon, and the place hasn't been locked up since it was built.

The hostess was reluctant to mix more and let the housekeeper decide. When the Nords were about to be thrown into the black cell, Grandmother Sumi came out, and for months she had been praying for the child in her womb, and she didn't want anything cruel to happen around her.

She came out and said, "For the sake of my unborn child, let this barbarian go." I don't want a ghost in a black cell to come and curse me and my children every day. ”

The steward said, "If there is no punishment, this Nord will definitely rebel in the future."

Sumi didn't want to dwell on it anymore, her recently fat body and swelling head made her confused. She said, "Then let him get out of the valley." ”

Then the Nord was beaten by his countrymen and driven out of the valley, and before he went he said that he owed no one in his life, only his grandfather and his grandmother. In the future, as long as he lives, he will repay this debt.

After a few months, my grandfather came back with an old lady and heard about Sumi's handling of it, which my grandfather appreciated. Then he personally interrogated the Nords, and the Nords said that they were a disgrace to the people of the North Sea, and that they would go to the ends of the earth to get this bastard back if his grandfather gave him the order. Grandfather said no, let him go.

After that, my grandfather settled a few farmers who had brought him back, and gave a large amount of subsidies to the families of those who died in Rhodoc. After that, my grandfather returned to the management of the valley, and in the autumn, my grandfather took the farmers down to the fields to harvest the wheat.

At this time, my grandmother was about to give birth.

When Sumi felt cramping in her abdomen, the whole castle was empty. Grandmother Sumi shouted for a long time, and finally alarmed the hostess who was lying upstairs. The hostess was muttering between the unreal and the real, when a sudden panic brought her back to a reality full of pain. She heard a faint cry for help downstairs, and she struggled to catch every word, thinking of boundless things in her mind. Suddenly, her hearing was completely clear: she heard Sumi's cries for help in pain.

The hostess took a long breath and tried to sit up. She struggled for a long time, broke out in a cold sweat, wet her pajamas, and exposed herself to the cold air after lifting the quilt. Her eyes darkened, and she staggered to the window, where she saw the fat woman who had been with her for thirty years chattering by the manger.

The hostess grabbed a crockpot and threw it down. As she was about to lose consciousness, she saw the fat woman hearing the sound of the crockpot breaking, and was looking up at the castle in confusion.

The hostess woke up the next morning, and the old butler was at the window explaining something to his grandfather. The phlegm in the hostess's throat coughed and coughed. Grandfather turned around, walked over to the bed, and changed her pillow into a position that made her comfortable. He asked, "Your grandson has been born, do you want to see it?" ”

The hostess blinked.

After a while, a red lump of flesh was carried over, and the hostess's eyes looked at the child with infinite tenderness, the child she had spent her last life for, and then tears flowed down her cheeks. If the daredevils hadn't come to the valley seven years ago on a lame horse, what would the valley be like now?

Suddenly, she saw a chubby, smiling man in the crowd, who was wearing a shiny helmet with white feathers, and who was smiling at herself.

She was infinitely grateful at once, "Did you bring this young man to the valley, dear Timmy?" ”

The man was chubby and amiable, he took out his handkerchief and wiped the sweat from his forehead, blinked his green eyes slyly, and nodded, as if to say, "How is it?" This son-in-law is a good choice. The hostess felt reassured, she had shed her last tears, she was ready to go to heaven, and now she saw her optimistic husband sent by God to pick her up. She knew that on the way to heaven her husband would take him by the hand and put on a carriage, and that horse would be the docile lame horse. Creaky all the way from the valley to the kingdom of heaven.

At the end of her consciousness, her spirit returned, and she heard the baby's cry, and her grandfather's inquiry: "Mom, what is the child's name?" ”

She looked at the man who had saved the valley and wanted him to come closer: "Huo. Ah··· Ka·· Dior, ·····"

At this time, her tongue contracted, her pupils dilated, and life was gone. The mistress went to heaven with her lord Timmy, and sat down in the carriage, and was carried quietly and slowly to heaven by the lame and docile horse.

The grandfather called out to her in vain, and the old butler grabbed his hand behind him, and the fat woman put her apron over her nose and cried. Sumi suddenly felt a chill downstairs, as if her freshly washed hair had been blown by a cold wind. The grandfather hid the news of the death of the hostess from Grandmother Sumi until she recovered somewhat.

The grandfather and the old housekeeper consulted the hostess's wishes, and neither of them knew why the hostess had given his grandson the same name as her son-in-law. It's okay, but after all, I think it's weird. Later, my grandfather asked the bachelor's widow what to do.

This old lady has waited for the bachelor all her life, and she has never encountered such a situation. She said, "Then it's called Huo. Arcadio II. This opinion was accepted by everyone.

From that day on, people knew about Huo. The name of Arcadio II. also knew that his birth day was the day of his grandmother's death. There was a saying among the peasants: "Arcadio II drove out his grandmother." "People are so worried about this child, and people always say that maybe one day this child will destroy this valley.

On the day of the mistress's death, the lame horse also died.

My father's childhood was not a happy one. His nanny was a sturdy Nord woman. He never drank Sumi's milk since he was a child because Sumi didn't like him. People privately said, "He chased away his grandmother." The grandfather was annoyed by this view, and he explained to Sumi that if he wanted to drive away the mistress, he himself had planted a curse in the first place when he rode into the valley.

Sumi said that she understood what he said, but every time she looked at the child, she thought of her dead mother, and she felt very uncomfortable, and she didn't want to see the child too much.

My grandfather persuaded him several times to no avail, so he stopped persuading.

The Nord wet nurse bore his Swadia husband three sons and a daughter. Her husband cherishes his wife very much, and the Nord woman began to feel that it is a kind of happiness for a woman to be like this for the rest of her life after being uncomfortable at the beginning.

She always remembers the moment when her small fishing village was burned down by the Swadians who rushed in. She was taken from the shores of the North Sea into the Svadian barracks, where she decided that the men of Swadia were a bunch of brutes.

Soon a slave trader bought a Nord woman from the army. When she was brought to Suno, she already knew she was pregnant. She tried her best to cover up the truth, because pregnant women are often abandoned and end up dying in the wilderness. Later, a Swadia lord took her and twenty-nine other clansmen. She noticed that most of the team was women, and she had already thought of what would happen. The Swadia man was a very ordinary-looking man, followed by an old man, and behind him were some Swadian peasants who were staring at them and laughing from time to time. They ended up going to a small valley, which seemed to be rich.

On a flat lot in the valley, the men beside her were taken away. Only one remained there, because he knew the official language of Swadia: the language that was common in Rhodok and Swadia. The words spoken by the lord were translated by him into Beihai dialect. At this time, more than thirty men with expectant faces came around.

The Swadia man said a word, and the Nord man said a word, to the effect: "First, I want you to make this your home from this day forward." Hurry up and learn the language of the Swadiaans; Second, now you choose a husband from among them, and if you can't pick one, stay here, and you have no food in the meantime. If you want to eat, pick a husband and go to your husband's house to eat. ”

The Nord woman did not choose her husband until the third day: she was the last woman to choose a husband; And her husband was also the last to be chosen.

The Nord woman has made up her mind, and when she can't judge which man is worth relying on, she can only choose the one who is the most patient.

Her husband is almost forty years old and has never had a chance to get a wife. When the lord told them the news, he made up his mind that if he sold the scythe, he would take a woman with him.

He took two loaves of bread, one for one day, starved for the third day, and took the last Nord girl away as the sole candidate. The two hungry men returned home and immediately started to make a fire and cook, eating a lot of toast and minced meat.

The next day, the farmer did not go out; On the third day, the farmer did not go out; On the fourth day, the farmer went out in the morning, and in the afternoon he went home again after contemplation.

Everyone laughed and said that the farmer was emaciated.

Seven months later, the Nord woman's child was born. The boy's father was overjoyed, but his mother's face was gloomy. She feared that the farmer would find out that it was not his child. But the farmer went up to the castle with joy and went to the lord to give him his name.

The grandfather said, "This child is a descendant of the Nords, so let's call him Gilbianwen, Gil is his mother's clan name, and Bianven is his father's name".

At that time, my grandfather had just arrived in the valley for his third year. When my father was born, the little mixed-race boy was already 4 years old. He is a descendant of the Nords and Svadians. My father was a descendant of the Rhodoks and Svadias, but my grandfather never admitted it, he thought my father's blood was pure, that is, the Great Swadia blood.

That's for another time.

After giving her husband her first child, the Nord woman did not know whether it was out of atonement or gratitude, and almost a year at a rate added another daughter and two sons to her husband.

The youngest son was a month older than my father. So after Sumi was reluctant to breastfeed my father, the Nord woman was chosen by the old housekeeper to breastfeed my father. The old butler told the Nord woman, "The lord's wife is too weak to recuperate, and you should take up your responsibilities to the lord." ”

The husband of the Nord woman agreed, and the Nord woman said no more. The old housekeeper asked the husband of the Nord woman to go to the castle every two days to get a big fat fish, and come back to cook fish soup to promote milk.

The Swadia farmer thanked Dade and took his woman to salute the butler.

After that, my father, of Rhodok and Swadia blood, received the mother's milk of the Nords, received his first energy in the world, and let out a high-pitched cry.
