Adeline got her bags ready.

Adeline hasn't been out of the house since she grew up, but over the years, Adeline's body has become lighter and more elegant than when she was a child, as a result of her martial arts training and dance classes. At the same time, Adeline's senses are extremely acute, and she can even distinguish everyone in a group of people. Garcia has been searching for the best teachers and doctors for Adeline all these years, hoping to keep Adeline from being in danger due to her illness.

This time, Adeline knew that she had to go out for the sake of her own happiness.

Garcia and my father's letter made Adeline decide that she had to go to her uncle's once. My father went straight to Fidner without even coming to Viruga, which made Adeline blame my father for not consulting her beforehand. The merchant's daughter has now officially become Adeline's maid, and Adeline asked the maid to call Garcia's captain of the hospital, and when the captain heard that Adeline was going to go away, he naturally stopped her, but Adeline had already prepared her suit, she wore a traveling white linen coat, a pale yellow smock, and covered her face with a white cloak.

The nurse looked at the young lady's resolute expression, and knew that it was useless to say more, so he offered to send someone to follow.

"This is not a tour, our carriage can only seat three people, you can go alone, and the others will let them stay in Viruga", Adeline arranged. Then the captain of the nursing home was surprised to see that Adeline had summoned the housekeeper, one of Garcia's secretaries, and several other subordinates, and assigned them tasks and informed them of his whereabouts during this time. Adeline left them to do their part while they left. Adeline's well-organized arrangement surprised these people, although they all knew about the general's only daughter, but in their eyes, this eldest lady was a little girl who didn't know anything, but at this time they suddenly discovered that Adeline was actually like a mirror in her silent heart, and she had a good eye on personnel.

When Adeline had finished explaining, the old gardener, who had gone out early in the morning, had summoned the general's groom to wait at the side, and this groom had arrived in a light carriage. Adeline gave the captain of the nursing home an hour to prepare, and then went with her.

A little later, a plain-looking carriage drove out of the city of Viruga.

For the days leading up to this, my father had been sitting next to Garcia's older brother.

The old man found another peachwood cane, and from time to time he called, and his father had to sit outside the old man's attack range and keep persuading the old man. The old man later ignored him, and his father wore out his mouth and said no more. For such stalkers, sometimes ignoring them is more effective than resolutely opposing them.

My father did not give up, and from morning till night he would go to the inn to bring new water and bread for Garcia's brother to put in front of, and sometimes buy some goat's milk or fruit from the farmer who passed by.

Daddy said, "I won't eat anything you bring."

"Then don't eat it," said my father, "but I brought these things, and if you don't eat them, you won't have to eat them."

"You're threatening me? I survived for five days just drinking water, and I don't care."

Garcia's brother is lying, doubling his record for the highest time he has fought hunger in an attempt to scare off threats. But the father said, "It's all right, I'll wait for you for five days, and I'll feed you when you have to eat."

Unconsciously, two days passed, and the old man was dizzy with hunger, and went to ask the people around him for food, and the townspeople all smiled and said to the old man after knowing the ins and outs, "Didn't your Swadia son-in-law prepare everything for you?" Go find him and ask for it. ”

"Hey, boy", and after a few more hours, the old man finally couldn't help but speak, "These things are all made by Rhodoc, aren't they?" ”

"Yes," said my father.

Before he could finish speaking, the old man grabbed a piece of toasted bread and put it in his mouth, then pulled the stopper from the goat's milk skin, poured two mouthfuls of goat's milk to soak the bread, and then chewed it heavily.

"But it was all bought with Swadian money, and it was delivered to you with the hands of Swadiaans, and now this Swadian only asks you to agree to a marriage."

The old man's mouth stopped for a moment, but he immediately continued to eat, and after a few bites, the old man stopped, and the experience of many years had taught the old man that he could not eat too much at once when he was very hungry, otherwise something would happen.

The old man savored the wonderful aroma of goat's milk and bread in his mouth, "Impossible. Boy, I'm not going to let my niece get taken away by a Yankee."

"But General Garcia has agreed," said the father.

"What's the use of a stinky boy promise? Don't you know who's in charge? When your traitorous dad came back more than a decade ago, the stinky boy worked with him, and this record stain almost ruined him, preventing him from being promoted. Everything that has anything to do with Svadia is unlucky! Bah! The old man, who had been hungry for a long time, had just eaten, and at this time he spoke too violently, and he couldn't help but collapse and shake his body. Seeing this, the father rubbed his butt against the ground and moved over, rubbed his chest and danced on the vest for a long time, and the old man finally recovered.

"Thanks" ''Get out of here!'' The old man began to fumble with his peachwood staff again, and then heard my father throw it away in the distance.

"Daddy, I'll be nice to Adeline".

"Will the Swadias be good to the Rhodoks? How can it be? Don't you know what the Svadians have done? ”

"But that's all in the past."

"Hmph, Swadians are brutes. Why did the old lady Sara in the east of the village become a widow when she was young? It's because of the Svadians! Why did Old Lady Sara become a widow again a few years later? And because of the Svadians! The most infuriating thing is that why did Mrs. Sara give birth to a bunch of children a few years after she became a widow? Oh my God! Or because of the Svadias!"

"'''This''', what's my business?"

"What's wrong with you? Aren't you a Swadia? ”

"Uh'', well, even if I'm a Swadia, I have half Rhodok blood in me, right? You can't ignore that. ”

"Hmm''' That's right. No, the blood of your other half of the Swadians may be going crazy and doing something shady. Adeline won't agree to go back with you. ”

"Daddy, Adeline has promised me".

"What?!"

"Well, this is Adeline's reply to me, and I asked her if she would like to marry me. Adeline said that if her parents didn't object, then she would be willing to spend the rest of her life with me. ”

"I don't believe it, show me".

The father gave the letter to the old man, the old man grabbed the letter in his hand, and the two of them were silent together for a long time, and the old man broke the embarrassment, "Bastard, even if I can recognize the words, I can't see it, you read it to me." ”

"Ahem" 'Dear little Arcadio', daddy, it's talking about me, she always calls me 'darling', eh, don't touch the stick, I've lost it, I'm going to keep reading, I'm going to keep reading.' Faith is safe, and I have received your letter. The contact and deeds I have heard about in the past few years make me feel that you are a person worthy of being entrusted for life. Although you are not fully prepared to take on a family, I don't want us to have to rely on my father for a family. If you have the ambition to build a wealthy family for our family and future children, I would like to follow you. Before that, I still advise you to continue to think about it, because many girls are healthier and more beautiful than me, and I think there are many such girls around you. After thinking about it, I also hope that you can discuss it with my father and uncle, I don't want our wedding to be a burden for them. Your Adeline. 'Look, she said 'your Adeline', ouch, don't hit, Daddy, don't hit.''"

"Is this really from little Adeline?"

"Yes, the hot paint on the outside of the envelope is a mark in the General's Mansion, you touch it", the father held out the hot paint with the Garcia family emblem to his father's hand.

"I don't touch it, and I can't tell if you find a leatherman to burn some wax."

"It's true".

"''', if Adeline marries you, she may have to follow you back to the north, do you think she will be happy? Don't be perfunctory to me, think about it, a Rhodoc girl, whose eyes are as invisible as her poor uncle, went to a place completely strange to her. Can you guarantee him a happy life? ”

"'''I don't know''''"

"What is your job title?"

"I am an officer in the navy of the principality", "I", "I have lost this job".

"No work? So what do you feed Adeline? ”

"I have a fixed nobility allowance in Swadiaa, and in Rhodoc, General Garcia used my father's fund to buy me a few orchards, and I have no worries about maintaining a middle-class life." I'll hire a few servants in the future, and I won't make Adeline worse off when she gets married."

"What if the Svadians hate her, a blind girl from Rhodoc, and if those people bully her, with Adeline's character, will she tell you? She can only endure it in her heart, she won't tell you. What do you do if she is wronged? ”

"Sir, the war is over, it really is over. I have seen the noblest of the Rhodoks, and I have seen the filthiest of the Swadiaans. I believe that sooner or later the misunderstanding and hostility will pass, and one day, the people of the whole world will forgive each other. Trust me, Dad. The people in my family are the kindest people, I have some Nords in my family, and now you can't tell the difference between them and other farmers, in my family's territory, people anywhere on the continent can live together in peace. And my father is a Rhodok, he will be happy to welcome a Rhodok daughter-in-law, my father has written to me to tell me that he agrees to this marriage, and that my father will fully support me if I want to. ”

"'''You say a very beautiful thing", Daddy thought about my father's words for a moment, "Will the hatred pass?"

"Yes".

Dad thought for a while, and said to himself, "For more than ten years, I have always decided on things, and now you want me to change my mind" "Hehe, I'll give you a chance, you prove it to me".

"Huh?"

"Let me tell you, a short walk south from here, there is a small village that was plundered by the Swadias more than ten years ago, and is still very poor, and the villagers have become very stingy. A beggar can get a sack of milk or a loaf of bread a day elsewhere, and there he gets nothing. These are the sins of the Svadians. Now, both of us, if you can change the atmosphere there and make them do as they used to be, and bring me food and drink, an old man, I believe that the seeds of hatred left by the Swadias can be removed. Can you do it? ”

Father's lips pursed as he thought about the strange task.

"I'll try," my father said firmly after thinking about it.

When my father led my father to this village, I couldn't help but frown at the poverty of this place. The black-toothed villagers looked at the two men with strange expressions, the peasant women poked their heads out of the low huts to look at the uninvited guests, and only the children showed a little bit of anger, running back and forth on the untended dirt road.

At the edge of a deserted flower garden in the center of the village, the old man sat down and placed an empty plate in front of him, indicating that he was ready to beg. Then Daddy took out a sign that said, "I can't see anything."

The father sat awkwardly on the side. The villagers saw that neither the old nor the young were the most lonely people, and after looking at them back and forth, many of the peasants felt that they did not need to help them, and even that some of them thought they were liars, and after saying some cool things, they shook their heads and walked away.

"'I can't see anything'? Hmph, what's wrong with not being able to see, we are hungry all day long, who will pity us? What do you care about others with your own disability? ”

This phrase has been used by many blind people, and it is no longer enough to impress the hearts of those who seem numb and indifferent because of poverty.

From one sitting in the afternoon until midnight, no one came to give anything to him.

"See. What the war brought about is still difficult to erase. When I was younger, this place was known for its generosity, and beggars couldn't carry the heavy things they were given. But the war brought poverty and apathy, and the people's customs have not been reversed until now. And that's just the tiniest thing, and who knows what more terrible catastrophe we don't see elsewhere? It is almost impossible to change these. ”

My father was silent, he really couldn't solve this matter. He knew how to drive away hundreds of enemies on the battlefield, but he didn't know how to get bread from a crowd of poor people.

Insects chirp in all directions, and the stars shine.

The wind began to mild, the hills began to turn milky, and then a bright light began to awaken the earth.

Birds soar on the branches, the spring field is gentle, the flowers bloom in all directions, if there is no suffering, what a beautiful scenery this spring should be.

Look at the sleeping father again, he really can't see it, and he doesn't blame him for hating Svadia.

Alarmed!

The father suddenly remembered what the flower farmer's daughter said before leaving, "Add 'spring is coming''''''''

After thinking for a moment, my father turned his head to look at the sign, and then turned his gaze to the cinders left behind by the burning of firewood not far away.

Another day passed.

The old man was bewildered, and at the end of the day, he was piled with bread and whole bags of milk in front of him; A little girl brought him a basket of wild strawberries; An old man came and gave them two pairs of shoes; A shepherd brought a large plate of yogurt.

"What's going on? Boy, what's going on? Daddy even wondered if Arcadio had bought off the villagers.

"No, I just changed a few words on your sign", my father knew the reason, and the villagers saw the words on the sign that day, and people suddenly found that the spring color of Siye had indeed not been noticed for a long time.

How is he different from this blind man?

Spring is coming, and I can't see anything.

The era of disappointment has passed, and hope is ahead, but people have forgotten their past ethics and dreams in poverty, and have slowly abandoned too many valuable qualities.

This sentence did not magical, but it made the villagers secretly frightened in their hearts, and they began to think about spring, began to think about green wheat fields, and began to think about the life that they would definitely become better as long as they worked hard.

Finally, the first person gave the first loaf of bread, which brought about an avalanche-like succession effect.

"I only changed a few words. As long as you lift your head, you can see spring. As long as you think about the good days ahead, the hatred between Svadia and Rhodok will always disappear. ”

Daddy rubbed the planks and muttered some small words to himself.

At this time, the sound of a carriage sounded in the distance.

Soon, my father saw a man in a white cloak jump out of the carriage, and on the dark earth, dressed in white, she looked like an elf at the end of a mountain spring, like a fairy dancing on the spring field.

Adeline rushed to Fedner, and after learning the whereabouts of her father and father, she rushed over again.

Listening to the voice, Adeline walked up to my father, who pulled down her white cloak, revealing her blonde hair and beautiful face. Her father looked at her as if he were looking at the happiness of his own life. But Daddy was on the side, but Dad didn't dare to hug Adeline.

Daddy stood up, he took Adeline's hand, and gave it to my father.

Father clenched those hands.

My mother, Huo. Arcadio II. Adeline's hand.
