Obligations of the elderly

"By the way, this is a self-portrait he drew of himself a long time ago, and he drew portraits of each of us, and those portraits are here with me now, including his own, and now this portrait is here with me I’ve been using it for many years, so I’ll give it to you.” Back in the inner room, Scar brought over a solid square object wrapped in a hand-woven coarse cloth, and then the old man’s face showed fatigue, and the stream and the palace took it The portrait left, and it was not opened until the room where they are now living in the Arden house, and then, the moment it was opened——

The palace and the stream fell silent at the same time.

"So your father looks like this." Gong Si said, looking at the human figure on the canvas that was so abstract that he could barely discern a little human feature.

The hair is white, the face is an inverted triangle, and all the components of the body are composed of various triangles. This painting is very characteristic of the original clan murals.

From this painting, it is impossible to see what the man named E looks like, but the oil paint used in this painting is very special, not any kind of paint recognized by the stream, and it is still as bright as ever after so many years. It is very valuable for collection, not to mention that this is also Scar's intention.

It seems that this painting has been carefully collected and preserved. To be able to give away the painting that has been treasured for so long, it seems that the evil is really important in Scar's heart.

Xiliu knew very well in his heart that the reason why the other party told him so many things and gave him this painting was naturally all because of Evil.

My father... was really popular.

Looking at the little figure with an abstract smile on the canvas, Xiliu thought.

"Do you have any impression of your father?" Gong Si asked him as he watched Xiliu staring at the painting. On the bed, he rolled his arms and relaxed his shoulders.

His sight remained on the canvas, but Xiliu's eyes went back to his memory through the canvas: "Actually, I haven't seen him at all."

"However, before I left Ji's house, I heard the quarrel between my mother and my grandfather. My grandfather asked my mother why she didn't get married in a very angry tone. My father married, in the eyes of my grandfather, it was a very unorthodox marriage."

"Are you still waiting for that man? The man who said he would come back and marry you after finishing the matter? The man who later said he would definitely come back when you gave birth?"

"Has he come back? When you gave birth prematurely, and no one next to you was struggling to give birth to the baby, did that man come back!"

In the spacious and gorgeous room, the grandfather was roaring, only opened the door a small crack, and the black-haired boy was peeping quietly outside the door.

He didn't mean to peep, he just wanted to find his mother, and he was attracted by the voice of his grandfather in this room along the way.

"So, I'm not getting married anymore." Facing the roar of the grandfather, the mother just said calmly.

"Did you really give up on that man, or did you give up on all men? You are still like this, are you still waiting for that man to come back?" Grandpa was persistent, continuing the previous topic with his mother.

"I have already forgotten about that person." In the end, only these words were left behind, and the mother came out of the house. When she saw the boy at the door, she only raised her eyebrows, and a smile appeared on the corner of her mouth, and hugged the boy. Got up, she led him to their bedroom.

"Forget the conversation I had with your grandfather just now. It's not important. There's no need to remember it." His mother said to him.

Lying on the soft big bed with the little boy, there is a book of fairy tales on the pillow, and they are reading bedtime stories together.It's just that it's different from the picture books with many cute illustrations that little boys get. The illustrations in this picture book are not very good-looking, at least not the type that children will like, but the mother likes to read this book to him very much.

The little head was raised, and the boy's big black eyes looked directly at his mother. He suddenly said, "Are you talking about my father? Does he refuse to marry you?"

She was taken aback by the son's question, but the woman didn't confuse the question, but thought about it seriously: "Actually, he is quite innocent, he is a very attractive guy, and at the same time very simple, we are just attracted to each other , It has not progressed to the point where Feiqing will not marry Feijun, but after having you, he is very happy, saying that he will definitely come when you are born, and knowing that he will come, I am also very happy."

The mother turned over, her long hair covered the picture book, her eyes looked at the roof, she frowned: "Although they all said that he didn't come, but I have a feeling that he came here the day I gave birth to you , I sensed that he had come."

After finishing speaking, the woman rubbed his head, dragged him into the quilt, and asked him to sleep with her obediently.

"...that's the only time my mother talked to me about my father. Unfortunately, there is no useful information." Reflecting on his childhood, Xiliu shrugged.

Staring at the painting together with Xiliu for a while, Gong Si finally frowned and said: "In short, we each have gained a lot from this trip to the Black Earth Continent. I learned the blacksmith's experience from my uncle, and you know Something about your dad."

"Although I don't really want to know..." Xiliu said with a wry smile.

Honestly, at his age, a father he's never met or anything... doesn't mean anything to him anymore.

However, this is only for Xiliu's mood. Facts have proved that at this stage, knowing that he is likely to be E's son is quite helpful for their current departure.

The identity of Yaden's friend alone can't dispel the vigilance of the people in the tribe, but the approval of the elders is completely different. I don't know what the elders said to the people in the tribe in private. From the next day, Gong Si found out that The people in the tribe have completely different attitudes towards their own group. When they have a language barrier, they will talk to them under the translation of Mofa. They are still very interested in things outside, and they will not only ask them about the outside world. Gong Si and Uncle benefited greatly from this kind of exchange: they actually found many rare metals that outsiders didn't even know about!Various uses for them have also been developed!There are many things that even the uncle doesn’t know. In the past few days, the uncle has been obsessed with communicating with the blacksmith of the tribe. Arden’s house is not going back, so he lives in the blacksmith’s house, using Mofa as an interpreter. The three of them took root in the tribal blacksmith's house together in the palace where they were apprentices next to their uncle.

Gongsi was forging iron, and the stream was not idle. Gongsi handed over the egg to him. The place where the blacksmith forges the iron was too hot, who knew if it would affect the egg, so he put the egg together with the iron. The cage was handed over to Xiliu, and he was told to carry the egg, and finally he gave him luck.

Then, lucky and successfully aroused the memory of Elder Scar.

"Ah... E also had a letter bird back then, and it was also a black letter bird."

"Er told me that the black letter bird is an extremely rare type of letter bird. It is unlikely that one will be born in 100 years. Once it survives, it will be much larger than the same kind, with hearing, smell, and flying abilities. Far beyond the same kind, he will be the king of letter birds." With luck, he recalled some things about E, Elder Scar looked a little nostalgic and a little happy.

"But I heard from the people in Pontok's letter bird shop that black letter birds are unlucky letter birds, and the news they send are all news that foreshadows death?" Lucky was on his arm, and a huge black letter was on his back. Egg, as Xiliu asked, he felt that his current appearance was really unbelievable.

But what is the solution?What one's own utensils ask oneself to do, even if the image is damaged, must be done well.

"That's no wonder." Unexpectedly, Scar actually affirmed this statement: "Back then, Er used this messenger bird to send messages to countless people on the Black Earth Continent, reminding them that the disaster was coming, and Er seemed to know where the disaster was coming. He can always feel it in advance, and then inform everyone in advance that E's black letter bird sends all kinds of disaster information every time, so it's no wonder that this saying is spread outside."

"Hmm... In this case, isn't it like a god of death?" Tell the other party in advance where disaster will happen?This... This is not very auspicious no matter how you think about it, Xiliu thought.

"How is it possible!" This statement was immediately vetoed by Ba: "I have no choice but to hear that others think so. I can only hear that I beat them once. You are Er's son. How can a son say that about Lao Tzu?"

"This is not a god of death, but a kind of prophecy. The disaster that can happen in the future can make everyone beware and escape from the disaster. Er is a sage!" Scar is obviously a fan of disaster through and through, and such an unlucky thing can It is abruptly understood as a symbol of a wise and wise man, um... Xiliu nodded, indicating that he has been educated.

But for the fact that there is a black letter bird like E in the stream, Ba is obviously very happy in his heart. He finds that the stream does not know how to domesticate the letter bird. So far, when he was lucky to be completely self-taught, he immediately took the best domestication bird in the tribe. The hunter of the letter bird came and told him to help Xiliu train the black letter bird well. After the instruction, he was still supervising.

The elder, who has basically stopped going out these years, personally supervised the work. Uncle Hunter was trembling, wishing to show all the things he had learned over the years in front of the elder. The various training methods were so wonderful that even Mo Fa couldn't help but stand at the door of the blacksmith shop. Sneaking outside, trying to listen a little.

The elders are here to oversee the training of Xinniao, but Arden suffers in this way.

Arden came back to persuade the clansmen to migrate, and although he was considered the most prestigious person among the younger generation, he was still not as good as the old people. If he wanted to relocate the entire tribe, he had to get the consent of the patriarch and the elders. The most important thing is Elder Ba's consent.

He originally planned to talk to the elder that day, but on the first day he found out about his younger brother getting acquainted with an outsider, and rushed to deal with it that night, only to find out that the other party was a group of people from Gong Si, and as a result of the exchange, he had to I brought Gongsi and others to my tribe, I thought I could mention this matter later, but then I found out that Elder Ba and Xiliu's father were old acquaintances!

Unexpected things happened one after another, and he didn't have time to talk about the most important things.

Just when Arden was following Elder Scar, anxious while watching them train the birds, another unexpected thing happened——

The "dead" egg that hadn't moved in his hands for three years suddenly showed signs of breaking its shell after being handed over to Gongsi Xiliu for three days.
