Chapter 359 Family reunion
Mary carefully prepared her luggage for Fit before she left, and it was a very delicate mahogany box.
When Fett opened the box, he found that it contained everything. Clothes, empty bamboo slips, pen and ink, a detailed map of the four continents and a sword that sharpens iron like clay, of course, there are a lot of entanglements, if you use today's standards, there are at least dozens of taels.
Fett knew that the master's family was actually not rich, and these entanglements were by no means a small amount, perhaps because the master had accumulated a family wealth for a long time, and now he had to hand it all over to himself.
"This gift is too heavy for the disciple to take. I will go and ask my father for it, so I don't have to let the master break the bank. Fit said categorically.
"But..."
Before Mary could finish speaking, Fett interjected, "I know that this suitcase is a part of Master's wishes, so naturally I will not refuse them all. It's just that this entanglement is still taken back by the master, and I can gladly accept other things. ”
Seeing that Fett's expression was resolute, Mary could not afford to stuff the coil to her again, so she had to give up, took out the money bag containing the coil in the wooden box, and held it in her hand.
Mary naturally knew the identity of Fit's father, and when she thought about it, she suddenly felt that it was a little inappropriate for her to prepare for Fit's entanglement.
"She obviously has a lot of money and is not short of money at all, but I want to do it too much, which is really a little inconsiderate. For a while, he forgot Fit's true identity, and suddenly felt that she was his daughter, which was really ridiculous. Mary thought to herself.
"Master, the disciple is leaving. After so many years of painstaking cultivation, the disciple will never dare to forget it in this life, and he will definitely repay his great kindness in the future. ”
"You and I should neither say 'kindness' nor 'repay' between you and me. I volunteered to be your master, and from that moment on, I didn't think about reciprocating. This is a godsend, and if it is entangled with 'kindness', it will no longer be simple. Mary's tone was full of sincerity.
"Master..."
Fit's eyes also began to moisten at this moment, she was obviously not an overly emotional person, but at this moment she still couldn't suppress the emotion in her heart.
She finally understood Katrin's mood at this moment, it was a kind of reluctance, mixed with a little sentimentality.
"Don't cry, the separation is only temporary, Master will not leave here, we can meet again at any time. For you, a brilliant life has just begun, and you must face it with a smile. ”
Hearing this, Fett immediately wiped away the tears from the corners of his eyes and burst into a heartfelt smile.
"Master, is this okay?"
"The children can be taught. The rivers and lakes are sinister, try not to get involved in disputes, and hide if you can. At all times and in all places, we must pay attention to protect ourselves, and we must never joke with our lives. You must keep in mind the passage that Master said to you at the beginning, and it will definitely come in handy at the critical moment. ”
"I have never forgotten what Master said at the beginning, that is the only way for me to survive in this troubled world. ”
"If you get tired one day, stop and head back to Twilight City for some rest, which will always be your home. ”
Fett finally couldn't hide her emotions anymore, and she suddenly hugged Mary in front of her into her arms, just as Catelyn had done to her not long ago.
Mary naturally would not refuse, and the two quietly enjoyed the warmth that belonged to each other, and the warmth in their hearts flowed to their limbs.
After a long time, the master and apprentice slowly separated.
When the two eyes meet, they smile and everything is silent.
"Come home, you and your parents haven't seen each other for ten years, and they must miss you very much. Mary said.
"Master, the disciple is gone, you must take care. ”
"You too, we'll see you tomorrow. ”
"Master, wait for me, the disciple will definitely come back to honor you. ”
This time Mary did not say a word of refusal, but nodded her head in acquiescence, obviously not wanting to spoil the atmosphere between them.
Fett then turned her head and walked in the direction of her home, and she turned back three times at a time, and the pain that could not be separated intensified in her heart.
"Let's go, don't be nostalgic, we'll always see you again. ”
After hearing this, Fett bowed his head slightly, quickened his pace, and no longer looked behind him, and his figure gradually disappeared at the end of the street.
Mary looked at Fett's receding figure with a look of relief on her face. It wasn't until Fett's figure completely disappeared from her view that she returned home.
When Fit returned to her long-lost "hometown", her parents were excited when they came out to greet her, and their voices were a little choked, which showed that they had missed Fit to the extreme.
Although it is the norm for teenagers to leave their hometown for a long time after apprenticeship, there is no difference in the hearts of parents in the world, and they all hope that their children can always be by their side.
Separation is an almost unbearable pain for parents, even for a short time, and it can be very difficult for them, let alone ten years. The worries and longings that arise from the depths of their souls will make them unable to think about tea or food, and they will not be able to sleep at night.
What is that like? Only those who have experienced it will understand.
Therefore, the excitement shown by Fett's parents now is actually normal, and it can even be said that it is not as intense as imagined.
But this warmth between parents and children did not last long.
The words that came out of Fett's mouth became a nightmare for the couple.
"Father, Mother, I have one thing that I must ask for your consent for. As a cultivator, if you want to improve your cultivation, it is absolutely not enough to practice in retreat, you have to go to the rivers and lakes
After practicing and gaining enough experience, you will have the opportunity to ascend to immortality.
I know this is cruel to you, after all, I have only just returned and am leaving you again. But please rest assured, this time will not be as long as the last time, at least three years, at most five years, and I will complete my journey to the red dust and come back to accompany you all the time. ”
Silence, long silence.
The silent atmosphere did not end until half an hour later, and Fit's father finally broke the awkward atmosphere and said in a deep voice: "You have become a monk, and the path of life is naturally no longer the same as that of others. Since going to the world is the only way for you to attain success, how can we stop you? If you stop it, it will undoubtedly ruin your future.
But my father wants you to promise us that you must not participate in those disputes, and that you must protect yourself at all times and come back safe and sound. ”
"These words spoken by Father are strikingly similar to Master's. Fett thought to himself.
Fett immediately raised his right hand and made an oath.
"I swear to God that I will not participate in those meaningless disputes in the future, and I will always take the protection of myself as the first priority. If this oath is violated..."
When Fit's father heard this, he immediately stopped him.
"Well, needless to say, it's unlucky. Father has understood your determination. But why are you talking about pointless strife? Sounds like you're trying to pluck us. ”
Seeing a hint of dissatisfaction on his father's face, Fett hurriedly explained: "Cultivators should take it as their responsibility to punish evil and promote good, and naturally it is impossible to stay out of the matter at any time, and when they encounter major issues of right and wrong, they will inevitably be involved in the struggle.
But father, please rest assured, his daughter has been reborn in the ten years since she cultivated with her master, and now her cultivation is not low, and she is also proficient in many spells, even if she encounters an enemy who cannot be defeated, she will be able to escape with her whole body, and she will never worry about her life. ”
"I didn't expect my daughter to be so powerful now, and she must become a famous heroine in the future. ”
Fett's father was smiling proudly at the moment, proud of himself for having such an excellent daughter.
But Fett's mother was still frowning at this time, with a worried look on her face.
Ever since she heard that Fett was about to leave this home again and go to the rivers and lakes to train, her heart began to be uneasy.
She knew that if she rashly refused Fit's request, she would definitely delay Fit's future, but there was always a voice in her heart shouting, hoping that she could keep her daughter by her side forever. The trepidation had disturbed her sanity and made her feel restless.
"Mother, what's wrong with you? Are you unwilling to let me go?"
Fett noticed his mother's gloomy face and the sense of loss in her eyes, and immediately asked.
However, Fett was greeted by an awkward silence.
