The shop in this tavern looked good last night, but now Adeline walked in and saw that it was already in a mess.
No, a simple "a mess" can't describe what it looks like inside, it's like the ruins of a war that has just endured!
The more than ten original tables and chairs in the store have all disappeared, and there are countless fine sawdust left on the ground... a thick layer!
There are traces of scratches everywhere on the wall, I am afraid there are thousands of them, and each scratch is thin and long, as if it was cut with a sharp weapon.
In the entire store, all the tables and chairs have disappeared, as if they have all turned into those fine wood chips!
And the weirdest thing is the large wooden bar that you can see when you enter the door... The original sturdy and wear-resistant oak bar was cut in two from the middle. On the wine cabinet on the wall, there was a big pit... This big pit smashed the wine cabinet directly, and the wall inside was also exposed, and it was deeply embedded in the wall. The strangest thing is that this big pit, It happened to be the shape of a human body, as if someone hit the whole body, and the hole in such a shape was smashed.
"Here..." Adeline's expression was as if an egg had been stuffed into her mouth.
Her footsteps became a little louder, and she accidentally raised the fine wood chips on the ground. In the dust, her nose was itchy, and she couldn't help sneezing.
A sneeze!
But just after the sneeze, there was a bang, and the two remaining wooden bar counters next to it were also shaken by the sound of the sneeze, and shattered, turning into wood chips on the ground!
This turn of events shocked the poor man.
"Okay, dear, don't worry, it's not your fault." Aunt Sofia patted Adeline on the back and smiled, "This thing is already broken inside, your sneeze is just a coincidence That's it."
She looked at Adeline with a smile: "You don't need to look surprised... Alas, things in our place are often smashed, and every once in a while, we will have to put on a new set... In this town, It's a common thing to drink too much and fight."
"But last night, last night..." Adeline couldn't help crying: "Last night, you were with him..."
"Oh, that kid from the Hannigan family." Aunt Sofia said with a straight face: "Yes, the reason why this place is like this is precisely because I had a fight with him here last night... Well, just when you turned the page. When the window jumped out, that kid wanted to go out and chase you, so I had to fight him."
Adeline: "… "
When Aunt Sofia said this, she also seemed to sigh: "The Hannigan family is really perverted, this kid is so young, and his skills are already so good... Alas, when my old man was 30 years old, he didn't He's so great."
"You guys, did you do it? The result..." Adeline was a little worried.
"Result? Do you still need to ask?" Aunt Sofia glared: "Of course my old man won. Although this kid is talented, he is still far from winning me. If I didn't beat him, what would he do today? Will you obey me obediently and be sent by me to chop wood?"
After a pause, Aunt Sofia sighed: "Hey, what about chopping wood... The best woodcutter in this town used to be that kid in the mountains, and that kid chops the best wood, but since he left here After that, I wanted to buy firewood in my shop, but I couldn't find a good woodcutter like him."
Naturally, Adeline didn't know that the "woodsman" that Aunt Sofia said was the turtle she was worried about. But she still asked: "Firewood... Is there any distinction between good and bad?"
"Of course." Aunt Sofia said as she walked to the back, and her voice came out intermittently from the door behind: "Firewood... When chopping wood, people should pay attention to the grain of the wood. The firewood that has been split with the texture can only be fully burned and used when it is burned. If it is chopped randomly, the burned firewood will always be insufficiently burned, and a lot will be wasted. Also... The boy who chopped wood in the past, he He's a very nice guy, he chops almost ten times more firewood every day than other woodcutters, but only has half the time available..."
"Well, does he have a lot of strength? So he chops more than others?"
"Hehe, great strength... Chopping wood is not just about who has the most strength. It is about knowing skills. When chopping wood, the axe should try to cut in along the wood grain, so as to save strength. The wood is chopped off. And at a glance, a piece of wood, where is the grain, where is the most energy-saving place to drop the axe... Hehe, these are not ordinary knowledge. If people who are really proficient, learn martial arts, they will also Much faster than others! Hmm... These are half talents and half acquired. Speaking of which, that kid back then was one of the most talented young people I've ever seen in my life. Unfortunately, that guy is restless. , but ran out and wandered around... Sigh, if he is willing to settle in this mountain for three years, perhaps his strength will be improved even more. Outside... Huahua world, people go out, and their hearts are scattered. , I'm afraid that after he leaves here, he won't have much energy to study his own skills..."
With that said, Aunt Sofia came out of the back door. She put on an apron and threw an identical apron to Adeline, smiling: "Oh, I'm also a little paranoid, okay, what else to mention. The matter of cultivation. Could it be that he was influenced by that Garin..."
Adeline was about to speak, but suddenly something was stuffed into her hand. When she looked down, it was a broom.
Aunt Sofia stood in front of her and looked at Adeline with a smile: "Anyway, you have nothing to do, just help me clean up this place together."
Adeline is grateful to this aunt Sofia, how can she refuse the other party's request? Hastily nodded.
Immediately, she followed Aunt Sofia, holding the broom and cleaning the shop.
She was of noble birth, even if she was not favored among the royal family of the Byzantine Empire, but after all, her status was placed there, and all the servants at home were serving in groups. Where did she do such rough work
Although she was enthusiastic, but a broom was in her hand, flying up and down, but it caused a cloud of dust to rise, making the poor bastard cough non-stop, and even his eyes were red from coughing.
Aunt Sofia didn't correct her, but just smiled and looked at Adeline with a broom while she was in a hurry, but there was a hint of kindness in her eyes.
The original dozen sets of tables and chairs in this house have all turned into fine bits of wood chips... It's really not easy to clean up. Adeline was out of breath from exhaustion, and the two worked together to clean up several large baskets of sawdust.
Looking at this long-legged chick, her face was flushed with exhaustion, but she was a little sluggish and miserable, but after a lot of hard work, it subsided a lot, and her eyes revealed a bit of energy. Aunt Sofia looked at her with a relieved smile on her face.
Just at noon, Garin returned.
The way this guy came back was also very cool.
He held a large water tank in one hand, just like Aunt Sofia did in the morning, but the water tank was already full of water, and the weight was naturally heavier.
In addition, he hung a high pile of firewood on his back, piled up like a hill!
With so much weight, every step he took was a little heavy, and walking back from the street naturally attracted a lot of curious eyes from the side. However, this is Wildfire Town after all, and there are many hidden dragons and crouching tigers. Others only take a fancy to them at most, so they don't take it seriously.
"came back!"
After a busy morning, Jia Lin was already a little angry. He came to the store, threw the water tank on the ground, and shouted, "I've done what you asked me to do! Let's try again today!"
Aunt Sofia held a broom in her hand and looked at Garin with a smile: "It's done? It's not that simple... Well, the water is coming back... But look at the water tank."
Saying that, she stretched out her hand.
The water in the water tank is about a third shallower from the opening of the water tank... That is to say, the water in the water tank is not full.
Aunt Sofia's finger made Garin's expression a little embarrassed: "When I came back, the road was bumpy and some spilled..."
There was a mocking smile in Aunt Sofia's eyes, which made Garin feel that he couldn't continue. He gritted his teeth and whispered: "Okay, I admit that I underestimated this matter... Wuli's The journey, I came all the way, but when I got to the back, I couldn't keep my balance and stability... The weight of the water tank, I didn't feel it at first, but it became heavier and heavier when I got to the back. Stability…”
"That's because you can't walk." Aunt Sofia smiled lightly.
Won't... walk? !
Garin's eyes widened. What does it mean
As long as a person is born, he can walk at the age of two or three...
"If you say you can't, you just won't." Aunt Sofia shook her head: "If you can walk, let alone five miles, even if it's ten miles, the water won't spill a drop."
Garin lowered his head to think for a while, and after a long time, he raised his head, his expression more respectful and polite: "You mean... the coordination of the body? And some skills when using strength?"
"Yes, as expected of the Hannigan family, the ability to comprehend is not weak. But although you know what this means, you are still far from being able to do it."
Aunt Sofia smiled and said: "Although your strength is quite good now, even if it is the city wall of this town, you can punch through it... But the explosive power that uses fighting qi and martial arts is only explosive power after all. If you If you can apply the rules of the use of power to the best in everything and every action, then...you will truly understand."
After a pause, she smiled and said, "You practice until you can walk back with this water tank, and the water in it doesn't spill out. Even if you enter the door, you have completed the first step. Wait until..."
"Wait until what?"
"After you become proficient, the highest realm is to give you a teacup or a small bowl filled with water. You can run all the way from here to the city gate, and the water in it can't be spilled, even if you really understood."
"Small bowl?" Garin frowned: "Wouldn't it be easier? I held this water tank today and it would spill water, that's because it's too heavy, I couldn't help being distracted and unable to keep my balance, but a Small bowl, but so easy... I can do it now."
"Then try it." Aunt Sofia turned and threw a bowl out of it.
Garin immediately filled a bowl of water in the water tank, turned around and ran towards the city gate, where Aunt Sofia stood there smiling and watching without saying a word.
Sure enough, Garin had only run less than half a street, then suddenly stopped, and then walked back in frustration, the bowl in his hand was half empty. He returned to the door of the store, thought for a while, poured a bowl of water again, turned and left again.
This time, his running speed has not decreased, but the rhythm under his feet is obviously much softer and smoother, and there is a faint taste of elegance in his steps.
But this time, he still only ran halfway down the street, and stopped again in frustration.
Jia Lin ran back again, this time after thinking a little longer, and poured out a bowl of water again. He held the bowl level in the palm of his hand, and a gleam of light flashed in his eyes!
Immediately, he took a deep breath, turned around and ran. This time, he ran halfway out of the street, but the water in the bowl didn't spill a drop!
But just when Garin was complacent... Boom! !
The bowl in his hand suddenly shattered!
"Ha!" Aunt Sofia stood there and said loudly: "You use the strength of fighting qi to pour into this bowl and wrap the water... This kind of stupid method, thanks to your ability to come up with it!"
Garin walked back and looked at Aunt Sofia: "I admit that I can't do it now... but can you do it?"
Aunt Sofia smiled and didn't tell the difference. She took another bowl and poured a bowl of water at will, and then she suddenly stood on the spot and moved.
Her movements are in a mess, and she has all kinds of movements, turning around, bending over, kicking her legs, turning her head and shaking her arms... It's like a horny wind!
The bowl in her hand naturally flipped up and down...
But she was cramping like this for a while, then suddenly stopped, and smiled and stretched out the bowl in front of Garin...
The water in the bowl never spilled a drop! !
Garin was stunned.
He was standing in front of Aunt Sofia. When Aunt Sofia was moving just now, he clearly felt that there was no power fluctuation on the other side! In other words, he can be sure that Aunt Sofia did not exert any power! He didn't use the power of the strong to change the rules of water flow, and he didn't use the power of fighting qi to wrap the bowl and water like himself...
Just now, Sofia did this in the state of an ordinary person! !
"This is power, this is skill... This is..." Sofia put the bowl gently in Garin's hand, and said slowly: "... Rules! Power has rules for the operation of power, and water has rules for the flow of water! Once you understand these rules, you can really apply them to yourself.”
Garin listened carefully to these words, with a thoughtful look in his eyes.
Immediately, Sofia walked to the pile of firewood, and after a few glances, she smiled and said, "As expected, I didn't expect this firewood to be split like this."
Having learned the lesson just now, Galin didn't dare to refute what Aunt Sofia said this time, but instead showed a cautious and modest look: "Oh? Please give me some pointers, what's the point of this chopping wood skill? "
Aunt Sofia curled the corners of her mouth: "My old man has said so much, but his mouth is dry and he is too lazy to say it."
She glanced at Adeline, who had been hiding behind her, and suddenly smiled: "Come here, my dear, didn't I tell you about the way of chopping wood? I'm too lazy to bother, tell this kid Listen."
Adeline had a look of fear when she saw Galin, but after being called by Sofia, she mustered up her courage and stood up bravely.
Garin glanced at Adeline, frowned and said, "Do you know the skill of chopping wood?" In his words, there was quite a bit of disapproval, and the look in Adeline's eyes was also somewhat hostile.
Adeline nodded, shook her head again, and looked at Garin with a fearful expression: "I... I don't know, but just now... Auntie, she told me once."
Garin really deserved to be a member of the Hannigan family. When he heard this, his heart was filled with the pursuit of the mystery of power and skills. He immediately put aside his contempt and hostility towards Adeline and took a deep breath. He even bowed to Adeline and said solemnly, "Then... please enlighten me!"
Adeline had never seen Garin speak to her so politely before, and she suddenly seemed a little helpless. Under Aunt Sofia's smiling eyes, she calmed down and said slowly: "The trick to chopping wood, just now. Auntie said that you need to know how to observe the grain of the firewood. If you chop along the grain, you will save a lot of effort. Moreover, it does not depend on the size of the strength, as long as you know the skills, you will be able to chop quickly and well... And, um, also Have… "
Adeline thought for a while and said a few words, said a few words and thought for a while, and intermittently repeated the truths that Aunt Sofia had said to herself before. She was not stupid at first, but facing Garin, she was a little scared and nervous. , so I said it off and on for several paragraphs before I finally finished it.
But the strange thing is that Galin, who has always been evil to himself, is standing in front of him solemnly at this moment. Whether he is thinking or talking nervously, Galin has no impatience or hesitation on his face. It was annoyed, with a solemn and awe-inspiring look, and a serious face, just listening quietly, waiting for him to speak.
Until Adeline finished speaking, Garin let out a long sigh, looked at Adeline, and bowed deeply again: "Thank you for your words, these truths are quite inspiring to me, um, Thank you so much!"
Then he turned to look at Aunt Sofia and frowned: "The texture of wood... There are many trees in this world, and the texture of each tree is different. Even the best woodcutter can't be proficient in the texture of all trees... Even if Even an erudite botanist can't do it. Um... So, these words of yours cannot be understood literally... Trees are natural creatures, the use of power, you must know how to follow the laws of nature... Is this what you mean?"
Immediately he smiled and continued: "Just like a skilled butcher, when killing pigs and cattle, he can always easily find the easiest place to use his knife, and dismember cattle and sheep faster than ordinary people. A lot...that's just finding the rules and tricks...is that what it means?"
Saying that, he picked up a piece of firewood from the pile of firewood he had cut, and looked at it in his hand... One end of the firewood seemed to be smooth and smooth... As the eldest prince of Odin, he The hand axe skill is naturally advanced, the wood cut by him is smooth, obviously the axe has been slashed quickly, with sufficient strength and fast speed.
But if you look closely, although the incision is smooth, the lines on it are already fragmented!
Jia Lin sighed: "No wonder I've been hacking for a long time, but I don't see any relief at all... It's just blindly fast..."
"Haha." Aunt Sofia finally smiled and said, "You are indeed the son of your perverted father... Your ability to comprehend is indeed not bad. Hey!"
After a pause, she sighed: "Forget it, since your father threw you to me, I'm too embarrassed to be too slack... Well, I'll do it for you, and you can take care of yourself."
After she finished speaking, she took the firewood from Jialin's hand, held it in her hand, pinched it with three fingers of her left hand, raised her right palm, and looked around, she didn't have an axe in her hand, so she just stood up She got up her thumb, her thumb nail was a little long, and then saw Aunt Sofia's concentration a little, a strange light flashed in her eyes, and the thumb of her right hand quickly scratched down on the firewood!
She stroked her thumb up and down, and she didn't know how many strokes. Her speed seems to be very fast, but every time her thumb is swiped, it is so organized, it is obviously approaching the extreme, but her movements are strict and clear!
It only took a moment for Aunt Sofia to put her hand away, and the firewood in her hand remained the same, as if it had not changed at all...
But at this time, Aunt Sofia smiled and blew lightly at the firewood.
call…
Countless pieces of wood chips fell off from her hand, and the firewood in her hand suddenly slammed and swelled!
Looking closely, it was not swelling, but turned into countless thin wood threads!
Each strand of wood wool is as thick and thin as human hair, and spreads out along the lines of the wood!
Countless thin strands of wood are scattered like flowers blooming. In the hands of Aunt Sofia, the original firewood has become…
Transformed into the shape of a blooming flower!
This magical skill made Adeline stunned!
Adeline was just surprised, but Aunt Sofia's hand fell into Garin's eyes, and the shock was even stronger!
Because it was the same as holding the bowl and not spilling the water just now, when Aunt Sofia was cutting this piece of firewood just now, Galin didn't feel the slightest fluctuation of strength on the other side! No grudge, no magic...
It seems that Aunt Sofia is an ordinary person, and she did it with a few strokes casually! !
It seems that, after comprehending the rules of power, there is no need for earth-shattering power at all to follow the rules and do such miraculous things casually!
Looking at the "flower" in Aunt Sofia's hand, Garin's eyes suddenly showed a kind of fanatical light!
He couldn't help but pull out a piece of firewood, but after gesturing in his hand for a long time, he finally sighed, showing a helpless look.
"You can't do it now." Aunt Sofia said lightly: "With your current strength, you can easily crush this piece of wood, or even grind it into powder! But... this is just the power of destruction... In terms of skills "You haven't even touched the door yet."
Jia Lin took a deep breath and said sternly to Aunt Sofia: "Jia Lin has been taught! I just want to ask... If I can cut the wood like you just now... Then is it not... "
"It's still a long way off." Aunt Sofia sneered: "Cutting out flowers from wood is just the beginning. To achieve the real comprehension state... If you give you a piece of tofu, you can also cut it out for me. When the flowers come, that is the real understanding."
Tofu
It is not difficult to carve tofu into a flower, and a good chef can do it.
But, if it is cut like this kind of hair, and then naturally blooms into flowers... How is that possible? !
Aunt Sofia looked at Garin's expression and seemed to smile: "Don't you believe it? Humph... Let me tell you, in this town, a few years ago, there was a young man... Humph, that kid is younger than you. A lot! When he was fourteen years old, he learned to chop wood, and when he was sixteen, he could cut wood and flowers like I just did... Unfortunately, that guy couldn't stand the loneliness and ran outside When he left, he had not yet practiced cutting tofu. If he could stay here for a few more years, calm down and study, I am afraid that he might have practiced it now. Hmph…”
Garling's expression suddenly changed!
He asked himself that his talent was extraordinary. In Odin's country, in the eyes of a peerless strongman like his father, he was also praised. Even his father recognized his talent... How difficult is it to be recognized by a person like his father
In Odin's country, he has also seen some peers with outstanding talents, such as his younger brother, Ke Kelan, who is also a very powerful guy, but his father also said that Ke Kelan cultivates the talent of the strong. , far worse than himself. It can be said that he has lived to the age of thirty-one, and he has never seen a person who is more talented than himself! The only guy who is similar to himself, looking at the entire Odin, there is only that Odin Valkyrie Hasting!
He is thirty-one years old now, and he can't do things... This Aunt Sofia said that in this town, there is a young man who did it when he was sixteen!
how can that be? !
If that's the case, isn't the young man in the mouth of Aunt Sofia a gift... Isn't it...
Wouldn't he be so tall that he even looked up at himself? !
How could there be such a person in this world... Except for his own father! ! Except for his great father! !
"Hmph, don't you believe it?" Aunt Sofia smiled: "It's no wonder that all of you Hannigans are dead brains, and you just refuse to admit that someone is stronger than you... In fact, that young man is in power and strength. You are far worse than you, but... The understanding of the realm has surpassed you early on... Well, speaking of it, the old bastard who trained him is the real powerful character. Hmph, the increase in strength can be gradually increased in the future. but that old guy gave that young man the foundation for understanding the realm behind him from a very young age... In this regard, he has far surpassed many people... That little guy, Although his strength may not be comparable to yours now, but... He has such a realm of comprehension. In the future, when he grows up, he will gradually show his power! And his progress will be faster and faster! And If the realm is not reached, no matter how hard you practice, you will at most stay where you are and keep yourself from going backwards..."
※※※
After the afternoon, Adeline finally helped Aunt Sofia clean up the mess in the house.
Aunt Sofia immediately found the merchants in the town, and after walking around the empty room, in the evening, a dozen new sets of tables and chairs were transported over and put back in place, even the bar. Came an identical one.
The speed and efficiency are so high that Adeline couldn't help but marvel.
"I fight here every three days, so the furniture sellers in the town are used to it. They will always get me two spare sets of goods. If they break, they can be put on immediately." Aunt Sofia sighed: "Fortunately, this is a plus. Lin's strength is not bad. Although he doesn't understand the rules of power well enough, his measure and restraint are first-rate... Otherwise, he would have had a fight with him last night, and the house would have collapsed."
Looking at Adeline, Aunt Sofia smiled: "My dear, it seems that you have nowhere to go, so why don't you just stay with me, I think you are very pleasing to the eye, you are here with me, Help me with my work on weekdays... food and lodging, it's all here." She looked at Jialin who was sitting in the corner, holding a firewood in her hand, and smiled, "Yes. I'm protecting you, and that guy doesn't dare to trouble you."
Adeline listened and stayed for a while.
Myself... Is there any other choice
There is no way to go back to Byzantium, and it is impossible for Osgilia to go back. Moreover, that turtle is in Byzantium, and he will not stay there. Then go to Odin... Although Odin is technically his homeland, but...
Can Odin find someone close to him
I'm alone, it seems... It's the same wherever I go.
Thinking of this, Adeline looked at Aunt Sofia's smiling eyes, she felt warm in her heart, and nodded in agreement.
"Okay." Aunt Sofia looked very happy: "Since my niece moved away, there are days where I have no young people to be with me. From today, you can help me here."
After a pause, Aunt Sofia smiled and said, "I will teach you how to make a dish at night, which is my specialty, roast chicken... Hey, before roasting the chicken, I emptied the chicken belly, stuffed some vegetables and A few pieces of fragrant mushrooms, a layer of fragrant seasoning that I made specially on the chicken, the roasted thing, the taste... An old friend of mine liked it the most, and later sent his son to soft grind it here. Hard bubbles, I learned the skill of baking things."
Speaking of this, Aunt Sofia suddenly turned a gloomy face: "Hey, speaking of it... Well, it's tomorrow after all. I've baked something tonight, and tomorrow... Come and visit an old friend with me, tomorrow, it's right It's his birthday."
※※※
The next morning, Aunt Sofia took Adeline on the road.
Originally, when Aunt Sofia went to visit her friends, why would Adeline follow her? However, considering that Garin was here, Adeline naturally did not dare to stay at home.
But after the two left, Garin also followed.
The reason is very simple. Galin heard that the friend that Aunt Sofia visited was the father of the young man who was said to be more talented than himself and could cut wood and flowers... Such a strange person, how could he not go and see? !
"Actually... that guy, hum... your father also knew it. Thirty years ago, this guy was also present during our incident in the Imperial City of Odin."
When Aunt Sofia said that, Garin's expression suddenly froze! He whispered: "Could it be... Is this gentleman also one of the top ten powerhouses in the mainland?"
"He? He's not a strong man, he... just an old alcoholic, an old bastard."
After the three of them set off together, Aunt Sofia asked for a carriage in the town, and the three of them got in the car, went out of the town, and headed for the wilderness to the north, but they came to the edge of a mountain forest after half a day.
Pointing to the mountain in front, Aunt Sofia sighed: "It's in this mountain."
Along the way, Aunt Sofia was holding a sealed jar in her hand. In the jar was a roast chicken that got up in the middle of the night and was roasted in the early morning.
It was just Adeline who was sitting next to Aunt Sofia, and her face was always a little weird along the way.
The reason... it's simple.
The jar in Aunt Sofia's hand... The smell of the roast chicken in it, why did it smell so familiar to me? !
It's as if... As if... Back then, when he was roaming around the wildfire with that turtle, the game he roasted at night was... this kind of taste!
…
When the carriage is outside the mountain, it is not easy to drive inside.
The three of them abandoned the car and walked, and then walked along a valley road, winding to the mountain. This mountain road is rugged and remote, and it is very difficult to walk. Aunt Sofia and Galin are both powerful people, and naturally they are walking on the ground. , It's a poor worm, walking a little staggering. But after a while, I was out of breath.
The mountains on both sides are dense, and from time to time, a hare or a fox or something like that will pop out. These wild animals are not afraid of strangers, they will squat in the grass and watch for a while before slowly leaving.
The more we walked into the mountains, the more and more lush the woods became. There were countless towering trees, and the trees were all connected together.
"Be careful, dear." Aunt Sofia pulled Adeline and smiled, "Follow us, don't go both ways, be careful that there will be snakes in the grass here."
Garin looked back at Adeline, as if hesitating for a moment, and said lightly, "Follow me behind!"
With him opening the way, every place he walked, the thorns and branches on both sides were easily broken by him, and Adeline followed behind Garin, and it really felt a lot easier.
She looked a little dazed, hesitated for a while, and still whispered: "Thank you, thank you..."
"You don't need to thank me." Jia Lin didn't turn his head and said lightly: "My disgust for you will not diminish... It's just that I rush to see that expert, and I don't want you to slow down our speed."
After walking in the mountains for a long time like this, Adeline was almost unable to move when she got there. Thinking about it carefully, in some difficult places, Galin reached out and pulled herself several times...
Finally, after going over an unknown number of layers of mountains, a valley appeared in front of you... This valley is like a gourd, a valley is connected to a valley, hidden in the mountains, the terrain is flat, and it is far from the outside world. come on...
Under the hillside in the distance is a slightly flat depression. From a distance, there are two old civil engineering houses that seem to be somewhat dilapidated. In front of a small flat land with flat soil, there is a wooden stake. There was a rusted, rotten axe stuck in there.
In front of the house is a tree with an outer neck. Under the tree are piles of stones, big and small, and I don't know there are hundreds of them.
Aunt Sofia smiled: "There is nothing to pass the time in the mountains, the pile of stones is the toys that this old guy's son played with when he was a child... When he was a child, he liked to move this pile around and used it as a home. Play, he likes to play war games the most, and he plays the role of a general, these stones are his soldiers... Hey, I don't know where he knows about those things, he carries some stones all day to form troops..."
Just far from the sides of the two old houses, there is another small depression valley, which is not large in size, but is located just behind the houses, separated by a hillside.
Aunt Sofia led the two of them and walked towards it along the hillside.
Adeline and Garin could see clearly when they got to the place and came down from the hillside. In this single small depression valley, there is nothing, just a piece of land that is obviously paved by people, and in the valley, there is a lonely... grave!
This is an earthen tomb that can't be more simple, a small tomb bag, and a tombstone in front of it, just a few words of ugly and crooked girls are casually engraved on it.
"Old Guy's Grave"
— Seeing the words on the tombstone, Adeline and Garin were both stunned.
What Aunt Sofia said, the old friend to visit... Could it be a dead person? ! Yes…
Sure enough, Aunt Sofia stood in front of the tombstone, looked at it for a long time, and suddenly sighed, she walked over slowly, and then placed the jar she was holding all the way in front of the tomb, opened the lid, and suddenly a scent wafted came out.
Aunt Sofia took a deep breath, then slowly sat on the ground, with her legs crossed, her fat body leaning against the tombstone.
"Hey, you old man, I'm here to see you. Today is your birthday... Hmph, you old bastard, look at you, you've been around all your life, your popularity is really bad! I'm the only one on your birthday. An old friend came to see you. The son you raised didn't even come to see you... Hehe... Yi?!"
Aunt Sofia's face suddenly changed!
Behind the tombstone, there is actually a wine bottle!
The bottle was empty, but there was obviously some wine left in it.
Aunt Sofia immediately lowered her head and looked at it carefully, and finally found on the ground that there was a small area, obviously some traces of moisture...
Obviously, a while before I came here, someone happened to come here to pay homage!
Aunt Sofia's face suddenly became very exciting.
She squinted, looked around, and suddenly smiled: "Who could it be? The old guy's son? Or..."
Sofia shook her head, then took a deep breath and shouted loudly, "Merlin! Is that you?!"
When Merlin's name was called out, Garin, who was standing behind, suddenly froze!
And Adeline's face suddenly turned pale.
Merlin? !
Merlin? !
What... The person here, in this tomb, has something to do with Merlin
Adeline's thoughts quickly turned in her mind.
Growing up in Wildfire Town, living in the valley of Wildfire Plain... A mysterious and talented young man... Raised by a mysterious and powerful father alone... An excellent hunter in the mountains, good at chopping wood...
All these factors, combined together.
… A person who meets these conditions and happens to be related to Merlin.
Who else would it be? !
Who else could it be? !
Except... that he...

A sneeze! ! !
A certain turtle who was being read in his mind sat on a horse and sneezed fiercely.
Xia Ya reached out and picked her nose, then sighed: "Oh, I sneezed... I don't know if Green is scolding me behind my back, or if she is... "
Xia Ya shook his head, looked at the mountain in front of him, took a deep breath, and then slowly spit it out.
Alas... I haven't been back for a long time.
The familiar smell of air in this mountain is really comforting.
He patted a wine bottle on his waist and sighed in his heart: "Old guy, I haven't forgotten your birthday, I just happened to drop by to see you... Hmph, I brought your favorite wine."
Well, I haven't forgotten you, so you must bless me to get my wife back soon!
(Some unscrupulous old guy, still, again, continues... smiling Jiuquan)
(I'm dead, I can do a big favor for you on your birthday... )
