Chapter 120 Plan

The father only brought You back quietly, and there were two more people in the castle and nothing changed. ()

Only a few people knew about it, and my father and You were hiding in the castle's cellar for the time being. The cellar was full of barrels, and my grandfather had plans to enlarge it. In Svadia, the buildings above ground are often roughly finalized after they are built, but the expansion underneath is carried out all the time, and the average family will start to expand the underground cellars and warehouses as soon as they have extra money.

This is especially true in the cold winter of northeastern Svadia, where General Wright had walked out of the winding cellars of a road of honor, and now Wright has resolutely embarked on another tortuous road, which is darker and longer than the previous one, and Wright will have to spend almost his whole life trekking cautiously, and if he is not careful, he will fall into the abyss.

After being convinced that Wright had betrayed, his father learned that Wright had not changed his opinion for so long. No matter how glorious and great the dream of change was, for Wright, it was no match for a nod of affirmation from the old nobles.

In Wright's heart, the crown of the emperor, the coat of arms of the lord, the royal banner waving in the wind, and the meek and kneeling subjects are the most correct appearance of this world; In Wright's heart, everything in the earthly system is predestined, and man has his own status because of his own blood; In Wright's mind, it would be unimaginable for the farmers to jump up and ask to be on an equal footing with the lord.

Wright had been thinking like this, but the people around him had been expecting Wright to give up on it. That includes Wright's best friend, my father.

Perhaps Wright's betrayal meant more to his father, which made his father even more disappointed with the already suspicious pioneers. His incomprehension and even hatred for Wright increased his father's antipathy towards the pioneers.

Anyway, my father was ready to leave, and my father's plan was to go north.

His father was reluctant to return to Frost Castle, much less to go to Parabun, and for him, he preferred to stay in a foreign country for a while. He knew that there were a large number of exiled scholars and people in the Nord region, and that the two emperors had no time to take care of them. Disillusioned with the situation, my father prepares to go to the Northland in search of these people.

In this way, you can temporarily leave the chaotic situation, think about the problems that you are full of, and secondly, you can understand the situation of these people as soon as possible, and wait until Svadia is stable in the future to arrange for these people to return to their hometown. My father knew when he was in Garmic Bay how miserable it was for people to be in a foreign land, and it was better for him to be able to do more to help the refugees now than to endure political torture.

As for my father's plan, Grandpa Bianwen suggested that he go there alone first, change his name and stand firmly, and then pick up my mother and me.

The grandfather told his father that he would not leave the valley, and he was mentally prepared for this. Before my father returned to the valley, there were many families scattered in the east and west, and the practices of these families were all tacitly unanimous--- announcing that they would cut off all relations with each other--- after doing so, their own families would be safer.

My father believed that the separation would be temporary, and that the war would soon end, at least two or three years, or at most five or six years, when the people who had experienced the war would get tired and begin to negotiate reconciliation. This period of time seemed too long for my father, and he needed a long time to calm down and think about it.

Grandpa Pianwen's suggestion did not change my father's plan, my father insisted on taking my mother and me, and my father did not insist much on my grandparents' request to stay in White Pigeon Valley, because my father knew that my grandfather was as stubborn as him, and although the war was cruel, it often did not kill the noble family, so it was not too much of a problem for my grandparents to stay in the territory.

After the matter was settled, my father began to prepare for the luggage to go north.

From that day on, the cook was replaced by Aunt Bi Anwen. The cook will be very surprised to find that there is more food baked at home, and the food baked every day is obviously not used up, and the next day she starts to prepare the next batch of food.

Aunt Bianwen prepared six large barrels of toast and biscuits, and wrapped more than ten cakes of cheese in thick Wiki paper, these cheeses were made by Bianwen herself, it was Nord taste, and the smell was very big, but Aunt Bianwen insisted that the bigger the smell, the better the cheese, so she prepared these for us to bring.

At the same time, Grandpa Bianvin prepared two large empty oak barrels, one of which was filled with marinated dried fish and bacon, which were evenly coated with spices to ensure deliciousness and freshness. The other one was filled with the fragrant White Pigeon Valley wine, which was so high that it was easy to get intoxicated, and when it was usually drunk, the family was accustomed to mixing it with other drinks, which attracted the ridicule of the lords of the plains, but my grandfather did not care, he said that he had developed this habit when he was in college, at first out of frugality, and then he felt unaccustomed to drinking it without water.

At the same time, the grandmother personally selected one set of gold and three sets of silver cutlery from the family, which she said she had been using since she was a child.

My grandfather brought my father a bunch of tools, large and small: three pickaxes, nine shovels, twenty small axes, three long saws, nineteen hoes, and three ploughs. My grandfather said that these things were very troublesome to procure, and that even if you had gold coins, you could not exchange them for the tools you could take advantage of, so take them to the north, find some honest and reliable farmers, buy a fertile land, hire a qualified steward, and in the second or third year you will start to make a profit.

My father was a little stunned by the fact that there were so many things prepared at home, "Oh my God, how can I sneak so many things away?" ”

Grandfather smiled and said, "The hardest thing to leave here is you, as long as you can go, then it will not be difficult to move the White Dove Castle to Suno." ”

The father said, "I still don't understand why you have so much faith to go with these things?" As I climbed over the mountain, I saw a large number of soldiers guarding the valley. ”

"You don't have to worry about that," said grandfather, touching the snow-white beard on his chin, "and after a while we will be able to send these things out of the valley in the open." ”

"I still don't understand, what's wrong?"

"Oh, you haven't heard about that yet."

"What's the matter? I've been hiding in Tibet for the past few days. ”

"That friend of yours, Wright, he's getting married. I've received an invitation, and it looks like Haraus is going to make this wedding a test of faith. Mr. Tax Officer secretly wrote to him that the Emperor would attend this wedding, and if I did, the Emperor would pardon the White Pigeon Valley. And, as far as I know, once the news of your departure from the Frost Fort army spreads, the Emperor won't care about White Pigeon Valley even more. So lo and behold, these things will be able to leave the White Dove Valley with me then. ”

"Wright? Tie the knot? It's unimaginable, doesn't he have a wife? ”

"Harlaus thinks Wright has already had a wrong marriage, so he's ready to make amends for him by having a right marriage."

"This'''"

"Well, don't be surprised. Anything can happen in troubled times. Didn't the emperor have two of them? ”

"Father, I don't want you to call that traitor emperor."

"Well, what's the difference? Didn't the pioneers claim that the Emperor was just a dispensable title, a title that even peddlers and pawns could joke about? ”

"I don't know what to say. Father, I also had something to do with the Pioneers when I left Frost Castle, and to be honest, I was disappointed in the Pioneers. ”

Grandfather didn't say anything after hearing this. He closed his eyes and thought for a while, then suddenly opened his eyes, his gaze like a torch, "Do you find that everything is a little different from what you think?" I'm sure your friends have told you many times about these thoughts, but how much have you listened? ”

"You told me when I was a kid that you want to change the world, and I told you back then, it's hard. So far, my answer is still the same, it's hard, kid. I went into the valley and tried to improve the lives of the people around me only slightly, but your goal is to change the whole world, which is too difficult. A person's strength is limited, and what he can do is even more limited, have you ever seen a robe wood flower that can burn a skyrocketing fire? Child, this is a process, and it is by no means achieved overnight. Fortunately, there is still a long time, so just be yourself. ”

"Sometimes, when you think about things that are hard to achieve, people go crazy. I'm not against big dreams, I just want you to know how many people's happiness is crushed under big dreams."

"You really have to think about it, yes, this time you have to think about it when you go to the Northland. The sooner you think it through, the less harm it will do to you and those around you. ”

As he said this, the light of kindness in his grandfather's eyes vanished, and he became a figure like an inquisitor. At that time, even my father became a child who was overwhelmed.

The grandfather ended the conversation and became a busy old man again.

He began to sort out the bills, bills, and contracts that he had begun to accumulate in the spring. Grandfather was full of vitality all of a sudden, perhaps it was this return of my father that allowed him to see a new direction for the development of the family, and after a period of confusion, his grandfather grasped something that could change the fate of the family. Now, my grandfather is trying to get the family back on track.

At that time, my grandfather should have really believed that the family was about to be reborn, and just like Wright's wedding, a new page would be turned in everyone's lives.

On the plains of Suno, even the most stubborn opposition had to start weighing it up at this time, because Harlaus's offer was too generous: as long as he attended Wright's wedding and toasted Harlaus, then everything that had happened in the past would be no longer to blame.

I remember my father locking himself in the room when he heard the news, and pinched his fingers with a clattering sound.

"Daddy?" I called out to him from within the darkness.

"Oh'''It's Timmy." It took a while for my father's voice to be heard.

"I heard, ''I heard Uncle Wright was getting married.'

"Yes, yes." Father opened the curtains to let the light in.

"What about ''' Dela's mother? What about Dela? ”

Father's brow, which had already been furrowed, furrowed again.

"I don't know, Timmy. I don't know'''"
