The father sat across from Sabo Marion and Aoi, feeling very embarrassed. When my father went up to the second floor, he wanted to bring Wright over, but he felt that Wright didn't like this Sabo Marion, and if Wright and his father both came up, it would be too rude to the Kujiit downstairs.

Wright knew what his father meant, and didn't say much, but drank with the Kugit in a dull manner, glaring at him from time to time, and the Kugit had been trembling since his father left.

When my father went upstairs, Aoi smiled slightly, and my father saw a very cunning flash in her sunlight, and in an instant, Aoi withdrew her gaze and nodded to my father as if shy.

Saabmarion is not good at words, but he is wooden by nature, and often offends people because of his upright style. He had heard a lot of stories about his stepmother torturing children, so he didn't continue for the sake of Aoi.

His former wife was the daughter of his boss, and when the southern officials were retreating north, his father-in-law told him to prepare for a carriage to Uxhall early the next morning. The next day he was left with only one letter in his room: "Not everyone can betray the South, at least not I," and when the South was liberated, Sabo Marion went back to his father-in-law's old house, which was now the courtyard of a flour merchant, and the sly eyed merchant stared at him without knowing what he was trying to do. Sabo Marion just sighed and wandered around, ignoring the merchant's rebuke. After coming out of there, Sabo Marion broke with the past completely. Now he is a Rhodoc citizen Sabo Marion.

During the confrontation between the two countries, Saabmarion went through a lot and was under immense pressure, and it was painful to put a person between the two countries. There was once a Swadia mission to visit Rhodok, and the clerk of this mission rebuked Sabomarion as a traitor to his face, and although Rhodok later appeased Sabomarion, the pain of being hated by his compatriots was something that few people could bear. This has made Saabmarion increasingly distant from the north. His days were full and uneventful, analyzing projectile ballistics and material strength at the research institute, supervising the production of mechanical templates, and so on. These years of work have made him more stable and introverted. He is afraid of socializing, so he tries to minimize it. When he checked in at the hotel, he first felt panic when he met two well-meaning compatriots, and after rejecting the kindness of the two men, he felt a slight remorse in the room: the two young men seemed to be very enthusiastic about him.

The next evening, he found his usually taciturn daughter looking pleasant, smiling at the setting sun by the window. He thought that this trip had brought a turning point for his daughter, and after talking, he learned that his daughter thought the Swadia kid from the previous day was very interesting. It made him feel the need to talk to the kid.

In fact, there is one thing that Sabo Marion has never known, and that is that he has never understood his daughter. His daughter was a precocious girl. Xiaokui's misfit since she was a child is not because she is stupid, but because she is very smart, and this cleverness brings precociousness. She always sits helplessly among a group of children playing with mud, as if she is a little adult. When she was 12 years old, she could even look at the 17 or 8-year-old girls who cried at every turn. Her cleverness is difficult to win companions among her peers, and a little boy expressing affection or a little girl's straw bracelet expressing friendship can only get her uninteresting response, and over time, everyone begins to distance themselves from her. This made Sabo Marion think that his daughter was too introverted to make friends at first. Aoi likes to listen to the conversations of men in their twenties and thirties, who have gone through the world but still retain the hearts of teenagers, compared to those wild children of the same age who are interested in provoking girls.

Sabo Marion actively introduces friends to his daughter, but it doesn't take long for Sabo Marion to find that girls are made to cry by Aoi's rudeness, and boys have their self-esteem frustrated by Aoi's blunt contempt. As a last resort, Sabo Marion had to start consulting a doctor, and mail-ordered a copy of "Goblin and Sabel Hand in Hand to Take You to a Good Doctor", at first Marion thought the book was not good, and wanted to return it, but it didn't work, Marion had to read it carefully, and then found that the book was actually quite good. Xiao Kui watched her father study the contents of the book with great interest, and kept muttering to herself: "I see, Eun, it's really wonderful..." , always sigh secretly: "When will my father understand me", in front of Marion, Xiaokui will always be an introverted and gentle little padded jacket. Only Xiaokui herself knows how uneasy her heart is, but her father is too simple to understand the mind of a strange little girl. He just patted Xiao Kui's head bitterly and said, "Xiao Kui, when you were a child, your father was busy with work and didn't take good care of you, making you so introverted, it's not good for your father." You have to listen to the doctor, you know. Xiaokui always said obediently: "Oh".

"The doctor's words are all lies". Aoi always thinks so. Every time the doctor prescribed her a new medicine to make her cheerful, she didn't speak for a month after taking it. Sabo Marion decided that he had met a quack, and angrily ran to someone else's house to recover the medical bills, and he also advertised that so-and-so doctor was a quack when he met people. Over time, all the doctors became quacks, and no one dared to treat Xiaokui. Only one young doctor said that going out for a walk might work, and Sabo Marion asked Xiao Kui about her intentions, and Xiao Kui was secretly happy in her heart, and said lightly on the surface: "Daddy wants to do it, just do it."

Aoi happily begins her winter journey until she finds a cowering man wandering cautiously in the pool while soaking in the hot springs. She watched curiously as the man looked left and right in the smoke, and occasionally choked on two mouthfuls of water. Xiao Kui was very curious and wanted to see who this was. When she paddled closer, the person was farther away. Xiao Aoi slowly approached him, and soon found out that it was a man. Xiao Kui was shocked, she had long heard about men and women, and she had also heard that there were bad men who liked to watch girls take a bath. When Xiao Kui hesitated to go back, he suddenly found that although this was a man, he seemed to be more scared than himself, so he might as well go and see where he was. Aoi forced the unlucky guy to the edge of a pile of rocks, slowly dived underwater, and quietly approached the man. She stood up not far behind him, and watched as the dumbfounded creature stared into the depths of the smoke, her brow furrowed, as if she were facing a great enemy. After waiting for a long time and not seeing any action from this unlucky ghost, Xiaokui was a little bored and asked, "When are you going to hide?"

After that, the boy was hit hard, and he fluttered and rolled in the water for a long time. Then he stared back at her for a moment, and said in random shock, "Miss Adeline?!" ”

The more she thought about it, the funnier it became, and after this person explained her unspeakable secrets, Aoi went to get him a towel. The man hastily wrapped a towel around his waist, jumped out of the water, expressed his gratitude to Xiaokui and buried his head down the mountain. Anxious like a lost dog, busy like a fish that slips through the net. Aoi always remembers the embarrassment of my father running all the way with a towel with one hand, and she can't help but smile at the thought of it. This made Sabo Marion feel that his daughter had improved significantly, because usually, it was not easy for Xiaokui to even laugh.

When his father sat on the second floor, Marion briefly introduced himself, but was silent about his previous rebellion against Svadia. He simply said that he was a native of Fort Rebolette on the North Suno Plain. He said that his daughter's name is Xiaokui, and it is not easy to meet a friend. Sabo Marion then asked about his father, who honestly explained his situation.

Sabo Marion said, "So you are a college student in Djerkhala? I didn't know that studying abroad with each other was already open. I work in the Djerkhara Academy of Sciences, my family lives in the riverbank district No. 11, if you have time you can come to my house. My daughter Aoi and I will definitely welcome you. ”

The father thought to himself that he had gone to this girl's house for fear of danger, so he had better not go. So he said a bunch of things like the university is focused on academics, distractions need to be put down, and chores should be reduced, and he wanted to tell Saab Marion euphemistically that he really spent all his time on studying and couldn't spare time.

Sabo Marion hadn't heard the smell yet, and Aoi knew that my father wanted to run, and she suddenly smiled and said, "Since Mr. Arcadio has the leisure to soak in the hot springs, he must have time to get together in the house." Of course, if you really don't have the time, and we father and daughter don't force it, we will remember your noble behavior in the spa, and I think I will take every opportunity to preach it for you, which is a valuable asset for a young man, isn't it? Mr. Arcadio? ”

My father was shocked in his heart, thinking that this girl was too powerful, he looked at Xiaokui's calm expression and Sabo Marion's smile that did not know the truth, and his heart was bitter, and after a long time, my father hung his head and said: "Spring... I'll visit you in the spring."

Xiao Aoi frowned, thinking that the time was a bit long, and Sabo Marion calculated, there was a spring break at that time, and nodded and agreed to my father.

Father looked at Aoi and suddenly thought of Miss Adeline, of Blue Eyes, of Elune of Jill. Woman, it's really troublesome.

By the time his father, Wright, and the Kugit man had stepped on the moonlight back to the hotel, Aoi and Sabo Marion had been gone for a while. The three young men continued to drink and chat, and chatted until the second half of the night before returning home. After getting drunk, my father lay down on the bed, felt his head sinking, as if sinking into the abyss, his consciousness gradually blurred, and finally he fell asleep.

The next afternoon, when he woke up to go downstairs to get something to eat, he saw Wright moving things. When his father asked him what was wrong, Wright said, "The father and daughter moved away, leaving Xiangyang's house with us." By the way, the girl named Xiaokui left you a letter, and I put it on your desk. It's really strange that I finally came once, and I only stayed for two days and left. ”

Father's head buzzed, and he opened the letter: "If you dare not come next spring, what I said yesterday is not a joke. ”

Wright smiled strangely: "That girl has a crush on you?" ”

"She's going to eat me."

A few days later, the tour ended. My father and his party returned to Djerkhala.

Brill came to his father's dormitory one afternoon and chatted with him, and his father learned that the Kugit were ready to return home and were now preparing for their final theatrical farewell performance. His father told Brill that he would do everything he could to help him get the party right. Brill thanked him and said he only needed the dombra.

At that time, my father bought a stove with smoke running from a conduit installed to the outside of the house, and every morning this stove would be added to the firewood, and every day a stove would burn 17 copper plates of firewood, which the children of the farmers around the school had picked up from the woods. Some of the children would pee on the wood to add weight to it and sell it to my father after it had been frozen into ice. As a result, the smell of urine filled the house after lighting the stove once. Wright then beat the farmer's son. The next day the farmer came to the school to demand compensation, but the school's janitor refused his request to enter the school. The peasant went back, and in the afternoon he brought 10 peasants and threw the guards into a large wooden barrel, and then rushed into the school with great vigour, only to be defeated by the school's security team, and 10 men held their heads in the corner of the school's security office and paused all night. As the 11 farmers walked home, threatening to take revenge, the school was on the verge of a great enemy and wrote to the sheriff of Djerkhara asking for asylum. Djalkhara University was a gathering place for clergy and radical-minded madmen, and the peasants around Djerkhara were fierce, and the magistrate did not want to cause unpleasantness, so a beautiful golden cicada broke out of his shell and forwarded a distress letter to the bishop of the diocese of Djalkhara. By that time, 150 peasants with hoes, sickles, and rakes had already begun to storm Djalkhara University. All the students were outraged because they didn't know why the farmer was attacking the education department with arms. They hurriedly removed the benches and table legs, and brought wooden sticks and kitchen knives from the kitchen. Combat weapons were brought from the fighting room and the door was blocked with the school's carriage. Standing on the roof of the building, the peasants gathered downstairs picked stones from their heads.

By the time the bishop's guards arrived to arbitrate the conflict, 12 farmers had been wounded, one of whom died the following summer. The students claimed that they had more than 50 casualties, and the bishop was furious and told the students not to overstate the figures, otherwise it would not benefit anyone. Step by step, the students reduced their own casualty reports, and the final accurate number was 5 minor injuries and 1 serious injury. The casualty occurred because my father, Wright, Brill, and three other Kujits were about to climb the ladder up the school's bell tower to watch the enemy's situation, but my father, who was climbing on top of it, slipped his foot and fell on the other five people, causing a major safety accident.

The school refers to the six men as the Six Knights, saying that they have made a remarkable contribution to the protection of the school. To this day, when you go to Djalkara University, you can see a group of statues of six people climbing up ladders. All the students go to the statue before the exam to make a wish to get good grades, and the male students often choose to meet under the statue when they are looking for a girl to date. It has become the most famous sight of Djerkhala University.

The bishop referee was injured on both sides, so he turned the fight into a war and stopped fighting. The school immediately responded to the bishop's call.

But the peasants were furious, saying that they had never rushed into the school from beginning to end, but had only been broken in the head by something dropped by the students on the fence. The bishop threatened that if the peasants did not retreat, he would impose heavy taxes on their dioceses next year, and that their dioceses would be abolished and given elsewhere to make them second-class parishioners.

Tremendous mental stress and physical pain brought the farmers to their knees. They hastily signed a 100-day no-do gentleman's agreement with the school. Then they marched around the school, broke all the outer glass and tiles of the school, and sang a loud mountain song and went away.

Djalkara University is located on the outskirts of Djalkara in a small town in the middle of nowhere, and because there were no fatalities in the conflict, the conflict is not well known.

Until the beginning of spring, my father had been lying in bed to recuperate, Wright's crushed and broken arm was bandaged, and Brill's bandage was wrapped around his ankle. On the day his father recovered, Wright and Brill threw a celebration feast for their father. At the banquet, all the international students gathered to pay tribute to the heroes who defended the school.

"We are honored to have fought side by side, the Swadians were wounded alongside the Kujits, the Vycians and the Nords held the gate to the death, and the Rhodoks took care of the wounded everywhere," Brill said. We fight for each other and may our friendship last forever! ”

I met Brill a long time later, who coughed and laughed as he heard me tell the story from my father's diary. He said he hadn't been so happy in a long time, and the sudden thought of being young made him feel so good, as if he was still young. At that time, the peach blossoms in front of Brill's wooden house were blooming, and the house was full of fragrance. Brill stood in front of the window, looking at the endless peach blossom forest under the blue sky, and fell into deep thought, when he suddenly turned his head to me with a twinkle in his eyes and said:

"It was a good time."
