When my father sat in the hot springs, it was already the next day.

He and Wright had breakfast and went over, and they stripped off their clothes in a stone-built dressing room, tied a large towel around their waists, and trotted trembling through the cold, and then jumped into the warm water.

At that time, the Kugit people were engaged in lively water fights around them, and most of the tourists who were resting quietly in the water around them showed disgusted expressions.

Wright found a solo pool to sit in, not wanting to get involved in the play. The Kugit bought a hollowed out wooden tube from the farmers down the hill and inserted a stripped-off peach stick into the middle to make a simple water sprinkler. This toy, which only children love, is rejuvenated among excited young people. The father was drawn into the fight by the Kugit from the beginning, and he used a basin to scoop water on the Kugit, who fought back with water sprayers from a distance.

Wright sat beside him without a fight, but a few Kugit who were quietly approaching suddenly poured a large basin of ice water. Wright jumped to his feet, sat down again, and looked around, and the Kujits saw that he was looking for his towel. A Kugit laughed as he grabbed a towel and waved it in the air, "Swadia boy, stay there if you're shy!" Your fig leaf has been captured by me. ”

At that time, my father was grabbed by four or five Kugit and thrown into the water. Later, they didn't find it interesting, so they divided into groups and competed to see who could throw my father far.

Wright knew that staying in the water was sitting still. So he rushed out with a scream. As soon as the two Kugits saw that the momentum was not right, they ran away. The Kujits, who were playing a throwing game, watched in amazement as Wright frantically pushed his two companions naked and frantically. Wright's speed and endurance allowed him to catch up with the Kugit quickly, ripping off a fat Kugit towel, tying himself up, and kicking the two Kugit and several other Kugits who were watching out of curiosity into the water. The temperature of the spring was not high, and it was even a little cold, and Wright stood by him, and whoever dared to come to the shore would step forward and kick it down.

While his father was tossing in the air, Wright was watching a group of shivering Kujits.

Eventually, the Kugit no longer found it interesting to throw people away, so they discussed it themselves, and Brill said he had an idea. A crowd of Kujits gathered around.

When the dizzy father swam to the water's edge, he said, "All right, gentlemen, enough fun." Let me rest for a while. ”

He suddenly noticed that a group of Kugits were looking back at him with a smirk in the smoke of the hot springs, and he instinctively felt an air of conspiracy.

Before his father could reach the shore, two Kugits jumped into the water and shoved him to the shore. Then the father was grabbed by the arms and legs from behind by four Kugits, and he made his way up the hill, where they crept around a wooded field as they reached the top. The cold temperatures gave them goosebumps, punctuated by spasms, but the Kujits didn't seem to care, and they seemed excited.

Soon they entered a new hot spring, and a Kugit tore off his towel despite his father's pleas, and said to him, "We have done our duty to you, Arcadio boy." Now it's up to you, you'll have to sell some strength. ”

After speaking, several people shouted the trumpet, and threw their father into the water one by one, two, three. Father didn't know what they were going to do when they came over, thinking that it was just another throw-away, but he waited for a long time and didn't see the Kugit coming, and listening to the sound, it seemed that the Kugit had left. In the distance, the sound of Kugit wolves rushing down the mountain could be heard.

The father breathed a sigh of relief, not knowing what the Kugit man meant just now, he swam to the edge of the water, trying to find a towel, after all, swimming naked is quite embarrassing.

He casually looked up on the shore and saw a wooden sign, "Women's Zone".

Sabo Marion looked at his daughter, Aoi. The child was not a talkative and even a little too introverted, and the doctor insisted that he was not sick. He once mail-ordered a popular medical book in Swadia, "Goblins and Sabel Take You to Good Doctor", in which the man called Goblin made a random conclusion that there would be mapping traits between siblings, and if the sister was blind, then the sister would almost not be able to hear, what kind of logic was this? An angry Saab Marion asked if he could return the item, but the post office replied no. So Saabmarion had no choice but to continue reading the book, he carefully consulted the part of the book about human character, and in the communication with many doctors in Rhodok, he knew that it was impossible to change the personality of his daughter, it was something that was destined by God. However, one of the doctor's views also coincides with the admonition in the medical book: "It is good for all people to go out and relax." ”

This winter, a comet streaked across the sky from south to north. This caused almost no reaction among ordinary people, and the farmers who happened to see it only thought they were unlucky and immediately recited the prayer silently, trying to escape their bad luck. But in one of the observatories in Suno, four eyes were fixed on the satellite, and 21 pages of observations were later compiled. No one can say exactly what effect the comet had on the world afterward, but a few things are certain: after that, the first snow in a century fell in the southernmost part of Rhodoc, which caused heavy losses to the plantations there, and the animal pups and plant nurseries that were not accustomed to the cold were the hardest, leaving some full-time animal farmers in a desperate situation;

And in Kujitte, the enraged King Qugit replaced the high priest, and instead of bringing about the warmer winter he had promised, it was even colder. All the nobles were asking for the help of King Kugit, and a considerable number of them had no choice but to incorporate their bankrupt lords into their own army. More and more herders and farmers have lost their cattle, sheep and land, and are in despair in the cold winter;

Vikia is a snow country, and the only change there is that this year's heating consumption has been halved compared to previous years, and people have cursed the bad weather;

The Nords began to build ports along the Tiha and Gosas lines, as more and more North Sea terminals were frozen and new ice-free ports had to be built in the warm inland sea to accommodate shipping. King Nord sent emissaries to recruit craftsmen and engineers who knew engineering, metallurgy, and architecture, and the recruitment slip read: "King Nord needs you!" If you have a craft, join us, even if you're a Swadiaan! Even if you're a bum! ”；

Salander closely watched the movements of the Five Kingdoms, Salander had countless tribes and cities south of the desert, so they were not worried about the bad weather, they even prayed that the weather would be a little worse, so as to weaken the country on the other side of the mountain pass;

The official Swadia said: "Under the leadership of the nobles, the citizens and the farmers are fighting side by side against the wind and snow that have not been encountered in a century, and there is true love in the world." We will survive the wind and snow, survive the bitter cold, and we will meet again when spring comes! ”

As for my father, the influence was very little. The only thing is that Rhodok has a rare severe cold, which makes Wright uncomfortable, so he makes a temporary decision to go out to the hot spring town for a trip.

Similarly, when the temperature put all work on hold, Sabo Marion set off to take his daughter out for a walk.

The father listened to the movement around him in the water, and silently recited the curse to Kugit in his heart. He had heard from the Kugit people about their usual vacation time when they went to the city to look for girls, and he listened with great curiosity, and couldn't help but think of the blue eyes in Suno. He wandered back and forth in the middle of the water, but he did not dare to touch the shore for fear of being caught. And this matter is not explained at all, once it is identified as a hooligan, it will be troublesome in the future.

At this time, the sound of entering the water came, and my father was startled. From a distance, he saw a thin body slowly dipping into the water. Father's heart beat wildly: "This time it's over, it will definitely be discovered." ”

The voice came slowly. The father shrunk up, leaving only his nose exposed. He slowly swam to a small rock next to him, trying to hide.

He stayed there and waited for the sound to leave, but waited for a long, long time without moving.

He was already a little uncomfortable, and he didn't know what to do, he thought to himself, if he really couldn't do it, he ran back along the road, and he didn't see anyone when the Kugit people put him up just now.

When he was hesitating, a soft voice came: "How long are you going to hide?" ”

The father turned his head suddenly, and when he saw the face clearly, his expression suddenly became extremely surprised: "Ai... Miss Adeline?! ”

Soon his father discovered that it was not Adeline, even though they had the same hair color, the same face shape, and the same eyes. But this girl does not have Adeline's gentle temperament. The girl didn't know when she had approached her father, staring at him from a short distance. The father sensed that the girl opposite was quiet and terrible, and she just stared at him fixedly, as if everything else could be ignored. This amazement made my father hear much later: she waited quietly in the bushes for an afternoon, not the least surprised when a Salander took off his helmet to breathe in the snipe. Her father's diary recorded: "This girl's silence is not in a daze, she has put almost all her attention on the target." It's not that she doesn't have enthusiasm, she just saves her enthusiasm until the moment she pulls the crossbow machine at the end, and this silence bursts out of the power and is invincible. This girl's name is Aoi, a sunflower staring intently at the sun. ”

"Why did you come here? I saw you yesterday. ”

"I..."

"Are you here to see the girls taking a bath?"

"No, I was thrown in by my friend. I don't know how to explain it."

"Then why don't you go back yourself?"

My father blushed, "My towel... Uh·· I was robbed away, how can I go back. ”

For the first time, the girl on the other side showed a shy expression, and her face slowly crept with red, "You badass! She sneered, but stared at her embarrassed father and couldn't help but laugh, "You hide here and don't move, I'll go get you a towel." ”

Listening to the sound of paddling in the distance, my father froze in the water, feeling helpless to crawl up to his chest little by little, slippery like mud in a hot spring.
