- The setting sun shines on the small castle, and the beige walls and the small spiers of the houses are plated with gold. A tall young man sat on the city wall, looking at the sky, the nearby palace, and his younger brother and sister playing games in the corner, bored. The quarrel between his parents in the distance continued. The boy couldn't help but groan and covered his ears with his hands, but he still couldn't stop the sound from coming in.
"Cheng Dong, Saiduo is still a child now. It's not a big deal to play for a few more days. There is no need to send him to school so early." Even though the mother Ji Lala's high-pitched voice was far away, the boy could still hear it clearly. Sometimes I even hate that my hearing is so good.
There was suddenly no sound over there. After a long time, I heard a weak voice, "Yu Zhe is seventeen this year and hasn't gone to elementary school yet. I'm really worried that there will be an illiterate person in our family."
When the boy heard this, he made a face at his younger brother and sister who were playing in the corner, and the two children giggled. The young man waved to them, then jumped off the city wall, landing with a loud "bang" sound. Their mother's voice came next, "Saido, how many times have I told you not to play this kind of game? If you don't obey again, I will punish you by running 100 laps on the school field!"
Hearing his mother¡¯s curses, Yu Zhe slipped out of the gate and ran towards the palace, leaving his mother¡¯s curses behind him. The palace was not the real goal, he just wanted to confuse his mother. It didn't take long for the running boy to successfully reach his destination, a lawn at the foot of Stone Mountain. He found the place where he often lay before, picked up a piece of grass, and held it in his mouth in a daze.
My father¡¯s mental problems are becoming more and more serious and he is becoming more and more haggard. The family is very worried. His mother took him to see it, but no one knew the reason. Everything was specious. Near the Stone Mountain is a shimmering artificial lake. The shore of the lake is surrounded by a white stone that is a local specialty. My father calls it marble, and my mother calls it a wish stone, which is probably what it means. Everything in the family has two names, even the names of him and his siblings. There was nothing wrong with him when he was a child. Everyone at home spoke Lunte. The trouble started five years ago. After the family went out to visit the ancient battlefield ruins, my father seemed to be a different person. From time to time, some strange words came out of his mouth. The bigger trouble is that most other people can understand these words, and my father became a little mentally disturbed after being shocked.
"I have to go to the ancient battlefield site and have a look. Maybe I can find something. I'll talk to my mother tonight. This won't work."
Yu Zhe thought about it on the lawn, couldn't sit still, and decided to go home.
When I got home, I was just in time for dinner. My sister Han An and my brother Zexi were fighting for delicious food. My mother Ji Lala was holding the bowl without saying a word. My father Cheng Dong's eyes were dull and he didn't know what he was thinking. There are no servants in the restaurant, which is always the case in their family. There will be no outsiders present when eating, and they will all do it themselves. Jilala is quite good at craftsmanship and also likes to cook.
The two children quickly finished their meal and went out to play with other children. Yu Zhe ate very slowly. He was also thinking about something. The table was a bit dull and no one spoke.
"Mom, I don't think it's possible to go down. How about you tell me the history of your relationship with your father, and I'll analyze it for you." Yu Zhe decided to ask his elders about their stories, although it was considered private for children. Having said that, he was very interested in the story of his parents, because his father was a gardener in the palace, and his mother was a general and the sister of Queen Gina. Although they are not biological children, Gina's parents have held a formal adoption ceremony. According to Lunt tradition, they are a family. Besides, the two have lived together since childhood, no different from biological sisters. He and his younger siblings are also named after their cousins. Taken.
Ji Lala's face turned red when she heard this, feeling a little embarrassed. Cheng Dong was surprised. He didn't expect his son to care about this. "This is parents' privacy. What's there to ask?!"
Although his father was very serious, Yu Zhe had not been afraid of him since he was a child, so he didn't care this time. Even though his father was emotionally unstable now, he continued, "Don't you think you guys are weird? One is a general, the other is a gardener, and you Not as tall as my mother."
Cheng Dong was a little unhappy, "Who said I'm not as tall as your mother? We are the same height, but your mother likes to wear high-top shoes, so she looks taller than me. As for the general and the gardener, I was not a gardener before. I¡¯m just working as a gardener now. Fortunately, the aborigines know their stuff, otherwise I wouldn¡¯t be able to find food, and I wouldn¡¯t even be as good as them as a coolie. If I remember correctly, I used to be a soldier, not a gardener.¡±
Cheng Dong was about to continue speaking, but Gilala interrupted him, very angry, "Are you a warrior? Are there any warriors as weak as you? What do you mean by indigenous people? Are you not from Lunte, are you from Amo? Cheng Dong, Let me tell you, you are also an Aboriginal, otherwise we wouldn¡¯t have children!¡±
The Amo people, a race very similar to the Lunt people, do not intermarry with each other because they cannot produce offspring. Some of the stories that arise from this are the topics of boredom between the two races.
"My surname is Cheng, my given name is??, if my name is not Cheng Dong, I am certainly not from Amo. As for where I am from, I have to ask the priest of the temple! "Cheng Dong was very unconvinced and explained his name at the same time.
Ji Lala made a harsh mockery, "Haha, you are illiterate. Don't you know that 'Cheng Dong' means 'sunny' in ancient Tabos? Your parents are educated people, but you are illiterate. No wonder you only You can be a gardener. Well, I admit that you are a very good gardener."
Cheng Dong was dumbfounded. He could only read and write Lunte. Tabers was the lingua franca of the three major ethnic groups: the Lunte, Amo and Tufara people, but he had never studied it. There are even fewer people speaking the ancient Tabor language. It is said to be the language of the gods. Both nobles and commoners are proud to be able to read and write the ancient Tabor language. Although this language is extremely complex, it is very useful because it was the language used when the planet's civilization began to grow, and it has been passed down to this day.
"Your technological level is so backward, and you still use cold weapons. What are you not aboriginal? At least in my memory, there are weapons much more powerful than yours, although I don't know where they are." Cheng Dong found a breakthrough and continued to refute .
"Alas, poor gardener, you are showing off knowledge you don't know where you got it from." Gilala sighed and decided to help her husband clear his mind, "Let me tell you again, our planet Tabos has records The history of civilization began three million years ago, and there were powerful thermal weapons very early on. The Lunte and Tufara people are both aboriginal people. Although we look completely different from them, we are both children of God; The Amo people are alien immigrants who immigrated to our planet 30,000 years ago. God, with his broad mind, instructed the temple to accept them. High-level officials, including the Lunt and Tufala royal families, have received God's will. "
Cheng Dong interrupted his wife's repeat of the same old tune, a little impatiently, "How can there be a god in this world? I have never seen it! If there really is a god, why haven't you seen a god come out to stop the war between the three major races? This war has After thousands of years of fighting, I really can¡¯t stand the way you fight, procrastinating, and even taking a vacation, playing with chivalry, pedantic!¡±
Ji Lala was startled, a little confused. She usually doesn't like reading books, and the history is not good. It is said that the war between the three major races started after the god fell into sleep. The temple's remarks and stance are questionable. The relationship between the royal family and the temple is much worse than before, and they are no longer close. She does not doubt the existence of God. The planet Tabos was created by God for the Lunte and Tufara people to live in. The planet has a long history of civilization and was highly developed very early on. However, some problems arose later on, so they did not go out again. . She has also seen her husband's so-called hot weapons, but they are not very powerful, so they are rarely used.
"Why don't you speak? Do you think God really exists? There is no God in the world. Tabos is just an ordinary planet. There are countless in the universe. It is not a place where gods live." Cheng Dong saw that his wife did not say anything. Somewhat proud, continue to show off.
Ji Lala stood up, pointed at her husband's nose and cursed: "You are crazy! Don't talk nonsense, the temple is looking for trouble, they are not as peaceful as before."
Cheng Dong showed no sign of weakness, staring into his wife's eyes and gritting his teeth, "I was afraid they wouldn't come! They hide in the mountains all day long and sneak around. The reason why I am today is because of these people."
"Okay, stop arguing, Dad, what will we do if they really come? We can't offend the temple, although they don't take care of things." Yu Zhe saw his parents stiff and hurriedly stood up to mediate. The power of the subordinates of the temple is very powerful, and the temples of the three major races are connected. Those who encounter blasphemy will be severely punished. The temple is usually very gentle and does not interfere much with the affairs of secular society, so the royal families of the three major races are not disgusted with the temple. Tabos is the god shared by the three major races, and the others are regarded as secondary gods or evil gods.
When Cheng Dong heard his son's words, he was like a deflated rubber ball and slumped on the chair speechless. Ever since the unknown memory emerged in his mind, his thinking has been very confusing. It is definitely related to the temple, but due to his status, he cannot contact the higher-ups of the temple. The temple is stationed in the Kingdom of Lunt in charge of medical and education. They are all minor characters with no answers. King Smetia of Lunt had a bad relationship with the temple in recent years, and Gilala could not use the power of the royal family to solve her husband's pain.
"Sir, Mr. Winkler is here to visit." The servant knocked on the door, interrupting the dullness in the room.
"Invite him to the living room and we'll go there later." Cheng Dong didn't reply, so Ji Lala had no choice but to intervene. She was a little surprised as to why Winkler came to visit during dinner time.
"No, I'm just here to eat." Winkler's loud voice sounded outside the door, and he opened the door and came in. The three people in the room hurriedly stood up to greet them, and Yu Zhe picked up a bowl to serve the guests.
"Haha, I asked you why your family always doesn't need servants to serve you. It turns out that's the reason." Winkler looked at the rice in the bowl and couldn't help laughing. The rice grains are crystal clear, exuding a light fragrance that leaves people with a long aftertaste.Light fragrance. This kind of rice is produced in a valley in Naklo Mountain, and it took Cheng Dong nearly ten years to cultivate it.
"Haha, it just arrived the day before yesterday. I didn't have a few bites before you caught up with me. Old friend, you are rich now." Cheng Dong patted Winkler on the shoulder and asked him to sit down.
A group of people continued their dinner talking and laughing. The rice tasted so good that Winkler couldn't help but eat two more bowls and even asked for gifts. Cheng Dong readily agreed, this kind of thing is relatively rare.
"It's rare that you still remember the story of your childhood. No one eats this kind of food in our hometown. I didn't expect that you would cultivate a new variety." After a break after the meal, Winkler sighed when talking about Cheng Dong's works.
"Hometown? Winkler, are we really Haji people?" Winkler's words gave Cheng Dong another headache.
"You are confused. Our hometown is not where Haji is?"
"Alas, Cheng Dong is in a trance now. He always feels that he is not from Lunte, and he even told me that he is an alien." Gilala took the topic with some pain.
Winkler was surprised. He stepped forward and touched Cheng Dong's forehead. "You're not sick. There are several friends we came out with. Your name is Cheng Dong, your father's name is De'en, and your mother's name is Dai Rong. They live at the entrance of the village. Second family, it¡¯s been hundreds of years since your family moved to Haji Village.¡±
Cheng Dong was on the verge of collapse. Winkler didn't want to torture him any more, so he changed the topic, "I'm coming here today for two important things. One is to try something new, and the other is to get married to you. Saiduo, don't go, just follow and listen."
Yu Zhe closed his eyes and had no choice but to stay still. Even though Mr. Winkler is a civil servant and not very tall, he is a super strong man with agile movements. He cannot escape at his current level, not to mention that his mother Jilala, a master, is still watching covetously. She has always been very powerful. Like Winkler's daughter Nolan.
"I asked Nolan and she didn't object. You won't object to Saiduo, right?" Winkler said with a smile.
"Mr. Winkler, we are still children now. There is no need to get engaged so early. According to our life span, it will not be too late in another fifty years." Yu Zhe immediately retorted.
Gilala shook her head, "According to the tradition of the Lunt people, most people get engaged before they are twenty years old. You are not young now, so you can get engaged."
Yu Zhe was anxious, "I know that once we get engaged, we become a family, which is not much different from getting married. Is this breaking tradition?!"
Winkler laughed loudly and stared at Yu Zhe. He was very satisfied and did not care about his rude words. Young people are somewhat rebellious, and he was similar when he was young.
"Cheng Dong, don't you object?" Ji Lala asked her husband.
It took a long time for the nominal head of the family to say anything, "If my son doesn't object, I have no objection."
Winkler was a little unhappy when he heard this, "Cheng Dong, what's wrong with my daughter? What do children know? You don't support our decades-long friendship? What's wrong with you now? You were the one who told me about my family before. Not worthy of your family?¡±
Cheng Dong was startled, "Did I really tell you this?"
"Of course, I was still hesitant at the time. It seems that you are really ill. You don't even remember what you said, and the two children are about to get engaged." Winkler spoke freely, but Ji Lala was not surprised. .
"Oh, then I agree." The head of the family had no choice but to sacrifice his son. He couldn't treat his old friend like a monkey.
"I object!" Yu Zhe saw his father surrendering and quickly raised his voice.
"Haha, Saiduo, Nolan is not smart? Isn't he beautiful? He has a bad personality?" Winkler asked.
¡°Smart, beautiful, and good-natured, I can¡¯t say bad, but I think I get along better with my mother, not me.¡±
Ji Lala was furious and raised her hand to give her son a blow, "Do you think I have a bad temper? Brat, I raised you for more than ten years in vain. This matter is settled, I make the decision!"
Winkler laughed loudly and walked away, leaving the half-grown boy sitting in a chair in pain and in a daze. Ji Lala cleared the table, and the father and son stared at each other, at a loss.
"Dad, why don't you tell me about you and your mother? I always feel that there is something fishy about this matter." Yu Zhe came back to his senses and thought about his father's problem. He calls his father "Dad" at home. This is It is a rare word in Lunt language, I don¡¯t know where it came from. The Amo people, the alien immigrants known to everyone in Lunte, also call their father "Dad". Even the Tufara people who don't speak much have a similar name, but the pronunciation is slightly different. It may be difficult to pronounce with the language organs of living things. There are relationships. There are dozens of ways to call parents across the planet, and "dad" and "mom" are words that everyone can understand.
Cheng Dong thought for a while and decided to talk about it and let his son analyze it. Not many people can be trusted. This is a very sensitive topic.
"I don't know??How old I am this year, maybe fifty years old in Tabor years. After I came out of Haji Village with a few friends, we went to the royal capital of Casgard to see the world. My knowledge was all taught by your grandfather and I didn¡¯t go to school outside. I worked many jobs, but none worked. Finally, the palace was looking for a gardener, and I applied for the job. I worked there for thirty years. Now I am the technical manager of the Royal Garden, and sometimes I help the palace handle some related matters. Your mother and I met thirty years ago. She was still a child at the time and looked very thin. I didn¡¯t expect that she would be so strong as an adult. She liked growing flowers, but she was not good at it, so she often asked me for advice, and that¡¯s how we got to know each other. "
"Is it that simple?" Yu Zhe didn't believe it.
"Of course, what other stories do you think there are?" Cheng Dong felt that his son was thinking wildly, and the story between him and his wife was very simple.
"Haha, your taste is quite special?" Yu Zhe smiled, followed by an "ouch", and his ear was grabbed by his mother.
"You brat, you dare to tease me even your mother, are you tired of living? Huh? Even if I am ugly, in your father's words, a son does not think his mother is ugly, and I am not bad looking either."
Yu Zhe watched his mother bared her teeth and tried to please her again and again, only to let her ear escape. Gilala is above average in appearance and can be called a beauty, but she is too tall. She is a giant on the planet Tabos. She does not have the delicateness and thinness that are common among women, so most people notice her size first, rather than her size. pretty.
Ji Lala went out after cleaning up, and Cheng Dong continued to tell the story.
"There shouldn't be any doubts during the time I arrived in the Royal Capital. I have always been sober. The problem should be in Haji Village or possibly Haji Village. I have not been back to Haji Village since I arrived in the Royal Capital. I don't know the Haji Village Winkler mentioned. Does it exist? But we must have known each other for more than thirty years and have always been in close contact. He was just a handyman at first, and then he studied and became an official. Did you see that no matter where you are, studying is still very important. Even if you don¡¯t study, you will have Qian is also a nouveau riche and can¡¯t get on the stage.¡±
Cheng Dong changed the subject as he spoke, and Yu Zhe interrupted his father's ramblings, "Dad, going to school and studying are two different things. Mom doesn't go to school very much. She can read and write and is very smart. Although I don't go to school. , but I am already very familiar with the so-called hometown dialect you taught me, and I can even understand Amo and Tufara. Don¡¯t interrupt and continue speaking.¡±
Cheng Dong was a little embarrassed and decided to keep the story short, "Actually, there are only three doubts. First, when did I meet the temple priest? Second, the specific situation of Haji Village; third, what is there in the ancient battlefield site that we did not pay attention to? thing."
"Well, I also think we need to visit the ancient battlefield site again. Your problem started when we came back from our trip. I always thought you were a senior gardener. I can't help you solve the priest's problem, but haha We have to go and see Yoshimura, why haven't you gone back for decades?" The son worked very hard.
The father was a little absent-minded, "I don't know, I seem to have encountered something. Your grandparents must be gone. But then again, I have no impression of them in my memory, but I definitely have parents, and I won't jump out of thin air." come out."
"This is a strange planet, advanced and backward at the same time. Some places are overdeveloped, and some places are very primitive. What is the problem? The people on this planet are also very strange. Their individuals are too powerful. I am a warrior. It's really funny that I'm forced to be a gardener here." Cheng Dong started talking nonsense.
Old God Yu Zhe was there, but he didn¡¯t seem to hear. There were some things his father said that he didn¡¯t understand, but his mother seemed to understand, and so did Mr. Winkler, so he didn¡¯t think it was a big deal. Even if they are aliens, it is very common for aliens to come to Tabos for trade, but Tabos is the planet of gods, and no aliens dare to act recklessly on this planet. At least in the past, even the powerful Amo People also obeyed the temple's arrangements obediently.
"Saido, come out to play, why are you hiding in the house?" The call from his cousin Sion came from outside the door. Yu Zhe no longer considered his father's problem and ran away.
Before closing the door, Cheng Dong, who was sitting in a daze in the room, suddenly sighed, "The most painful thing in life is to be brainwashed but not clean! I must find the person who brainwashed me and ask him face to face why he is not good at his studies. .¡±
Yu Zhe fell down immediately.
