At the dinner that day, Su Ge'er left early, which made the head of the song and dance troupe very unhappy, because it was very rude.

Sabo Marion didn't feel as sorry as his colleagues, he sat in the middle of the table in the second row, his daughter Aoi looking happy and chattering with a group of girls her age. The sight warmed Saabmarion's senses. However, he ignored Aoi's occasional flash of melancholy. When Su Ge'er left, Xiaokui sensitively noticed something.

She told Marion that she wanted to go out for a walk.

Marion said, "Do you want me to go out with you?" ”

When Xiao Kui answered him with an expression, he nodded: "Don't run far." We're going back in just over an hour. ”

Aoi nodded.

She remembered how she felt when Su Ge'er sang the last lyrics just now. One of her teachers once told her, "When you're sad, the first person you think of is whoever you fall in love with." ”

Aoi tried hard to dispel this thought. She knew who she was thinking of.

She passed through a corridor, and the yard was lined with willow and locust trees. Surrounded by a tryst of men and women in the dimly lit shadows of the trees. She walked into a stone house next to it, a small fine dining restaurant that she had been here before, and which was usually only chosen for high-level meetings. She had a gut feeling that Su Ge'er would come here, and Huo. Arcadio will be in there as well.

She asked a woman with a plate if she had seen Miss Sugoer.

"Is that the young lady from Svadia?" The woman asked.

"Yes."

"She's on the third floor, I just saw her go in, and she should still be inside. I'm gone, miss, I still have a job. ”

Xiao Aoi settled down and looked at this beautiful stone house, the walls of the house are made of flat stones, which fit very beautifully, giving people a strong sense of security. Aoi walked in through a wooden door, and she walked up the spiral stone steps, and every few steps, a small oil lamp was lit next to it. She reached the third floor, soft music came from inside, and she pressed her hand on the door, full of anticipation, but did not dare to enter. "They're not going to eat together, they won't."

She finally pushed the door open and peeked inside.

Su Ge'er enthusiastically asked my father and the goblin about the success of her performance tonight. She was looking forward to their evaluation, and my father and goblins said yes in unison.

The goblin added, "Well, I'm really worried about you falling. So when you were performing, I was so relieved that I ran to the curtain. I fear that you will see me distracted, and stand in the dark shadow of the veil. Fortunately, you didn't do anything at all, and you performed so well. ”

Father nodded: "Yes, the goblin teacher ran away halfway and didn't bring it to the door, which is a misery for me." ”

The goblin snorted, "Why did I hurt you when I went out?" ”

"Oh, the last time I went to the hot springs, I bumped into a girl with a strange temper, and she ran in when you opened the door, scared me!"

After hearing the goblin's words of concern, Su Ge'er did not feel warm, but felt a sense of loss, if only these words were said by another person. At this time, I heard that there was another girl who was dating her father, and Su Geer felt even more uncomfortable. She is confident that her excellence is incomparable to most people, and many people are intoxicated by her charm, but when she begins to try to take the initiative to date a man, she suddenly finds that it is not so easy.

She knows that the principle of retreating is very applicable in love, and she often deliberately perfunctory the other party in the middle of the way, but she can better grasp the trouble in her hands. However, if you really meet someone you love, this skill cannot be used. I really can't do it, oh my God, this is someone who is important to me, how can I do that.

The source of this kind of favor Su Ge'er can't say clearly, maybe this kind of person is rare now. Su Ge'er also thought that this kind of hazy feeling would not turn into love all of a sudden, but this kind of good feeling is really rare, maybe Su Ge'er's special identity makes her see the essence of things more clearly. So once she discovered a possible beauty in despair, it seemed a little out of ground.

Su Ge'er knew that there were indeed fewer and fewer people with such noble temperament. In the days to come, when deception and cruelty are once again the mainstream of the world, this nature of my father will bring him the favor of countless people, and he himself knows nothing now. Kazak once told him, "This thousand dinars will buy you something you can't imagine", but his father didn't believe it, he just wanted to fulfill a person's wishes. Years later, when my father fled from the Suno Plain in a panic, countless farmers appeared out of the ground to cover the lord on the other side of the mountain. The pursuers were amazed, the nature of the masses was to join whoever won the victory, but when the father was in such a great rout. but the peasants slaughtered their cattle and sheep for him; showed him the way; For him to accept the punishment of burning farmland. This kind of thing, my father really couldn't imagine, and Kazak's heroic spirit smiled at his father many years later.

Just as his grandfather did not know that he had a good name in Salander, so his father did not know that he had a good name in the countryside of Swadia. Even when I arrived in Nord many years later, the people on the docks knew the story of the lord on the other side of the mountain. I was amazed that I had asked an old sailor where he had come from these stories. He said that the stories had been told from Rudaburg, and that for a time some of the immigrants from Swadia had begun to emigrate there, and some of them seemed to worship the virtues of the lords on the other side of the mountain, and they would go around preaching their benevolence whenever they had the opportunity.

When I met Uncle Gil years later, I told him about it. Uncle Gil was already in the process of rebuilding a war-torn North Sea city that had made a name for itself across the continent. King Nord advises Uncle Gil to change the name of the city, otherwise no matter how good he does, he will be overshadowed by the city's former glory, and the new city will also bring political pressure and criticism to him because of the name.

Uncle Gil refused, insisting on rebuilding the Ranger City and giving it its former name. He told me: "This city used to be the only star in the night, and until now, countless people miss this city as much as they missed their gentle fathers." Just like the good deeds of your grandfather and your father, these good deeds maintained the last trust that people had in the world during the years of suffering. ”

"So," Uncle Gil said to me, "people will not forget this good name." We do not need and should not worry about the fame of our predecessors becoming our baggage. This kind of good name of our ancestors can only become a spur to spur us forward, an example of our adherence to virtue. So, just as I will continue to name this city Zenda, if one day, you are going to do something, you should be like your father and grandfather. ”

Uncle Gil looked at the flickering oil lamp in the dimly lit cabin: "Maybe one day, like your grandfather and father, you will be in the misery of fate." You will be like them, witnessing the destruction of the best things in the world before you; You may be tortured and endured with endless criticism. But you have to know in your heart that you are not like everyone else. Because you have the blood of your grandfather and your father in your veins, and you are the same as them. You have to remember all the time''", he paused, as if the king were sealing a knight.

"You're the lord on the other side of the mountain!"

Su Ge'er's dinner party is over. Her father's repeated indifference to her overtures made her quickly find herself, and she became the Su Ge'er who was comfortable maneuvering between men. She silently blessed this loyal man in her heart, she knew that if it wasn't for some major change, this man would not have fallen in love with her. From the beginning to the end, this young man seemed to just regard himself as a sister, which made Su Ge'er feel a little lost, but in an instant, this loss turned into a warm tenderness in her heart. She smiled at the silly boy across from her and listened to his unpretentious compliments.

The goblin sat on the side in a muffled voice, silently drinking the mushroom soup, munching on the steak coated with mustard, and then pretending to look at Su Ge'er while drinking water. This kind of behavior makes Su Ge'er feel very cute.

"Mr. Goblin, are you thirsty?" Su Ge'er asked knowingly.

"Uh, that's yes, this mustard steak is so tasty. If you're thirsty, you won't,'" said the goblin.

Su Ge'er picked up the kettle, and then slowly filled the cup for the goblin, "Just watch, don't pretend to drink water", Su Ge'er said lightly.

The father was dealing with a piece of turnip, and when he heard this, he raised his head and asked, "Look at what?" ”

Su Ge'er smiled slightly, and the goblin pressed the ecstasy in his heart: "It's okay, it's okay." ”

The dinner was over quickly, at least the goblins thought it was over soon. Su Ge'er pushed away the entertainment for the public banquet and came to receive her father and the two of them, and at this time she led the two of them away. The servants on the side all guessed that these two people were great people, otherwise the heroine of the song and dance troupe would not have received the two like this.

Su Ge'er sent them to the door, gently gave them a gift, and bid them farewell.

The goblin walked behind, looking at Su Ge'er reluctantly, and Su Ge'er nodded at him. Father looked at Su Ge'er and smiled heartily: "Miss, let's leave now." I don't know when we'll meet again next time. ”

Su Ge'er wanted to speak and stopped, but the goblin just looked at him but couldn't speak.

At this time, my father coaxed: "Miss Su Ge'er, my teacher will be uncomfortable." He's going to miss you, I know. ”

Su Ge'er showed Qi Rong for the first time, and she took a breath softly, as if she had made a small decision. She leaned into her father's ear: "Mr. Arcadio, you must remember the dagger, I will protect it, and leave it to me as a keepsake." Also, don't match me with anyone else, okay? I have a plan for myself. ”

After saying that, she stood back with a smile.

The goblins were inexplicably shocked to find my father's body.

The goblin and my father said goodbye to Suge'er for the last time, when the moon disappeared into the clouds, dimly revealing a little decadent light and shadow. Inside the branches there was the singing of nightingales and the cooing of owls. Spring nights are gentle.

The father found the groom from the General's Mansion who had been waiting for them for a long time at the Aquaweed Hotel, and the man fell asleep on a stool. His father asked him if he had eaten, and he said that the housekeeper told him to take the people back and eat again.

My father was surprised: "It turns out that you haven't even eaten lunch yet." ”

My father weighed a pound of beef in sauce and two bags of oats that could be used to make soup from the owner of the restaurant, and gave them to the groom.

"I'm not so late for dinner," said the groom. ”

"Bring it back to your wife and children, maybe they're still hungry," said the father.

The goblin silently watched the young man's generosity, thinking about Sabel's question, "Has this fool made the most suitable investment?" “

The goblin silently thought to himself, "Did he do this by his own nature or did he do it with a purpose?" If it's the latter, it's terrible, and if it's the former, this power may not necessarily be good for him. ”

The groom led them out of the gate, and he asked the hotel's runner for a piece of coarse paper, wrapped the beef, and put it in a secret compartment under his seat along with the oats. When he turned around to help the goblins and my father into the car, he noticed that my father was looking at the other carriage with some embarrassment. In front of the carriage, a middle-aged man comforted his daughter, and the teenage girl was crying incessantly, not knowing what was wrong.

Curious, the goblin came over and asked his father, "Do you know her?" ”

"I know, she was the one who came to scare me today. I'm going to visit her tomorrow. ”

"She doesn't look like she can scare you." Goblin wondered. At this time, the father had already jumped into the car to avoid embarrassment, and the goblin was also gone. The carriage moved to the sound of the groom's whip, and as he passed the carriage, the goblin glanced at the girl through the window, and seemed to have been stung by something.

"What's wrong? Mr? ”

"That kid looks like Miss Adeline."
