The Cat and the King [Interstellar]

"Even you know to let me drink." Ren hugged Ding Dong, who was limp into a ball, let him sit by himself, uncorked the bottle and drank by himself.

Ding Dong would probably be drunk if he drank this kind of wine with this amount of alcohol. This was his father's favorite wine when he was alive, but he had never drank it a few times in his life. It's not that the alcohol content of the drink is extremely high. My father only drank it once in front of him in his life. That was when he won the mecha competition. own dream.

That day his father laughed and drank a whole bottle of wine, and even after he was drunk, he was pulling him and talking about how happy he was.

Mother said that your father never smiled like this when he was admitted, and his face was full of pride.

"He hasn't drank a few times in his life. He has as many bottles as he wants after his death, but what's the use?" Ren sprinkled the wine on the ground in front of him. The alcohol somewhat paralyzed the brain nerves, making the originally indifferent Ryan talked more.

"Why... why don't you drink it? It's... delicious." Dingdang burped in a daze and asked, leaning on Ren.

"Why? It's probably because I'm afraid that if I'm drunk, I won't be able to stay awake when I have to perform tasks by myself." As a mecha soldier, his father often needs to perform emergency tasks, and his communication will ring regardless of time and place. Then take him away, so my father rarely drinks alcohol, and even if he does, he will not let himself get drunk.

He originally said that when he retired from the military, he would dig out all the crates of wine buried on the ground and drink them until he was drunk, but now, the crates of wine are sleeping peacefully in the ground, there is no The day we see the light of day again.

Ironic.

"Hee hee, there is no... word!" Ding Dong didn't know if he understood, he stopped leaning on Ren, wrapped his hands and feet around the tombstone in front of him, and then pointed to the tombstone seriously.

"Ren! No... word, ran away!"

"Oh... are you stupid?" Ren stretched out his hand and pulled him over, "The words on the tombstone will not escape. This is a blank tombstone, which I...prepared for myself." Ren said the word lightly, he stroked the blank space left on the tombstone, and suddenly smiled.

When people smile for no reason, they are either bored or suffering.

Which one is he?

Ding Dong stretched out his hand to grab Ren's, his face was still full of bewilderment that was half a beat behind.

"Don't... prepare."

Ding Dong didn't know what Renn had prepared for himself, but he knew that it was definitely not a good thing.

"Um……"

In the cemetery, when the winter wind blew over the tombstone, it was cloudy, and the ground was also very cold. Ren took off his coat, wrapped Ding Dong in his hand, and walked out, half a bottle of wine was drunk by Ren. On the ground in front of a tombstone, and then put the bottle in front of the tombstone.

It will be a long time before he can enter there. In Ryan's view, the tombstone actually means tranquility, just like this cemetery, there is no dispute, no pain, the father lying in it can drink freely, the mother can sing every day, and I don't have to bear all this anymore.

"Master." When Ren walked out of the cemetery with a jingle, the butler looked at him worriedly.

"I'm fine." Ren replied, and his face returned to his usual calm look. From his face, it was impossible to tell that this person was Ren who just laughed for no reason in the cemetery. Putting on a mask, people can't see that the head of the Ren family at this time is just a tight-knit meat.

Ren knew that only in this way could he guard the Ren family, and become a person who was unsmiling so that others could not see the depth, so that he could deter those nobles who were staring at him, and he could keep the glory of the Ren family.

The butler breathed a sigh of relief, "We have received letters from many nobles, saying that they want to come to the villa today to worship the master and wife."

"You get ready, Ding Dong's teacher is here to teach him his homework this afternoon, just don't let those people disturb him." The etiquette among the nobles is cumbersome and boring, Ren doesn't want Ding Dong to touch those, although this guy drinks alcohol Not much, but it is estimated that he will be drunk until the afternoon, so he just stays honestly in the villa.

When he woke up in the afternoon, he would forget everything that happened in the cemetery today.

Even if I think about it, I think it's just a big dream.

Send Dizzy Ding Dong to the bedroom of the villa, and Ren handles affairs in the study. When the first group of nobles arrive in the afternoon, Ren needs to go out to receive, while Ding Dong curled up on the bed and fell asleep in a daze.

When the tutor came to the villa, he was stunned by the situation in front of him. The location of the Ren family mansion is relatively remote. Originally, few people would come, but now it is full of luxury cars. The important people seen in the movie raised their glasses to celebrate in the courtyard.

The butler opened the iron door and let the tutor come in quickly.

"This is the key to Master Frans' room. He is waiting for you in the house for your class. After the class is over, you should stay inside and don't come out until all the guests have left."

Every teacher who teaches orcs has been registered in the empire. Letting the teacher come out later is to avoid being targeted by interested people. After all, it is easy to find out along this line that Ren may have raised an orc in the house. matter.

The teacher nodded, then took the key with the book in his arms and entered the villa.

Even if so many nobles come today, they can only move around in the garden. Not everyone can enter that villa. Neville once thought that only the mistress of this house could see the head of the Ren family with his own eyes. What is the inside of the house, but today, when she left her boyfriend and looked for Ren at the garden entrance, she saw the butler handing over a bunch of keys to a short woman.

Because of the relatively long distance and the quick negotiation between the two, Neville didn't see the woman's appearance clearly, but she clearly saw that this person had entered the old house of Ren's family.

What a relationship, to be able to get in there without Renn even being there.

Does Ryan have any special hobbies?Neville has always been confident enough in her charm, until she met Ren, who had always ignored her when she was a student. The reaction at the banquet that day showed that Ren had almost forgotten her. Neville believed that I won't be so insignificant, so another explanation is, does Rennes have any special hobbies?

Quietly wanted to follow, but was stopped by the housekeeper.

"Miss Neville, the old house of our Ryan family is in front of us, and visitors are not allowed there."

Unwillingly glanced at the gate of the villa, Neville turned and returned to the small garden.

The tutor entered the villa and found the room where Ding Dong was. Today Ding Dong was much quieter than before, writing and drawing something on the homework paper.

"Ding Dong?" called the governess.She has been teaching Jingle for more than a month, and she has taught other orcs before, but it is because of teaching that she knows how special Jingle is.

Apart from obeying the master's words, other orcs are docile at other times, but they are like marionettes, and the growth of oppressive nature and genetic breeding make most orcs have lower intelligence than ordinary humans, but Ding Dong is completely different. Although the words are still not easy to speak, but they have the ability to think independently, and will even do something against Rennes' words when necessary.

"Meow?" Ding Dong raised his head, then put the pen aside, and pushed the drawing paper towards the teacher with his paw.

On the drawing paper is a cemetery, although the lines are simple, but the key cross is drawn, and the tombstone can be recognized at a glance.

Ding Dong pointed to the tombstone, and then asked slowly and clearly.

"what is this?"

"This is the tombstone." The woman took a pen and drew a stick figure on the drawing paper, and then drew an axe.

"When a person dies, like this...hit by a flying axe, his soul will leave his body, and then people will find a coffin for him, put the dead in it, bury it, and the tombstone will read It is engraved with the name of the dead person, his achievements during his lifetime, etc." The teacher introduced it vividly with pictures, but Ding Dong's expression became more and more puzzled.

"But...he...hasn't died yet." Dingdang knew what death meant. His mother died in that desert, but Ren didn't die, so why did he build a grave for himself.

"That's probably because I don't have the idea of ​​continuing to live." The teacher sighed, she didn't know who he was referring to in Ding Dong's mouth, but when a person has prepared things after death, or his nature is too Open-minded, or feel that there is nothing in the world to commemorate.

Ding Dong didn't speak any more, he opened the window, and from the room he was in, he could see the cemetery from a distance, and then he made a bold decision in his heart.
