Eternal life... Ma Xiong thought about it, but he really couldn't recall how old he was. In another sense, he and Xiong Ba could be regarded as eternal life, right?

He took a pen to reply to Tom's letter, "Do you know Qin Shihuang of China? He was a very great emperor and the first person to unify China. There are things that people cannot do. Although he is an emperor through the ages, but Still can’t escape life and death.” He paused, and suddenly remembered that Tom was not an ordinary person, and there seemed to be a wizard in the wizarding world who had lived for many, many years... The ink dripped on the parchment, and he changed a piece of paper to write again.

"For humans, immortality is a very attractive word. Who would not want to live longer and see more of the world? As far as I know, the average age of wizards is much older than ordinary people. I once arranged for you After some study of Chinese history, do you know why? With copper as a mirror, you can straighten your clothes, with people as a mirror, you can see gains and losses, and with history as a mirror, you can know success and failure.”

Ma Xiong moistened his pen, and then wrote: "Your mother and I can not do much for you. Apart from watching you grow up, what we do is to prevent you from going astray. And many successes in history Compared with other people, the only thing you lack is a kind of experience. In every period of history, there are all kinds of wise emperors and ministers, but when they are old, they often do some stupid things. Are they not wise enough? "

"No, they know more than when they were young." I don't know if it's because their mentality has changed when they get old. A piece of parchment. "But why did they become like this when they came? You think about this question yourself, and tell me when you get the answer."

For some reason, after writing this sentence, Ma Xiong suddenly remembered the day he came back to this world to see Severus. He accompanied Tom back from the kindergarten with the time-space capsule. Tom once said something.

"I found the answer..." The following two words are a bit vague, but Ma Xiong still heard it, it was "Dad".He didn't know if the answer Tom had said was the question, but he was glad his son had found an answer to a question again.

At this point, he hasn't finished writing yet, but he put down his pen and went out to get a glass of water first.In the kitchen, Xiong Ba was busy making desserts. Although the wizarding world had amazing magic, she always felt that what she made with her own hands could make the eater feel her heart better.The couple and Tom exchanged a letter every day, and each time Xiongba would attach some small desserts she made.

Ma Xiong leaned outside the kitchen door and watched her busy figure, and it took her a while to notice him.When he was pushed out of the kitchen by Xiongba, he suddenly felt that they were really happy.

Back in the study, he picked up a pen and continued to write: "Son, do you think we are happy? Do you think you are happy? I always feel at ease when I see your mother busy in the kitchen every day. She gave me a complete Home. Eternal life, sounds so wonderful, but as long as I imagine losing your mother, losing you, what does eternal life mean to me?"

"Maybe you will say that our family will live forever together," he knew, and Tom mentioned this in his letter because he wanted to reveal this meaning to him, "but have you ever thought about it? Watching friends and relatives around you grow old and die one by one , only we have been living in this world, the world will become more and more lonely. I don't want to see your mother show any unhappy expression, because it will make my heart hurt. If Mrs. Michel dies, she can comfort I said that Mrs. Michelle is old, but if the little Jerry next door dies before her, she will definitely be very painful."

This is how she feels now, Ma Xiong understands but doesn't know how to relieve her.It is said that doctors can heal but don't heal themselves, because they messed up their hands and feet because of their own affairs. When Ma Xiong met Xiong Ba, he could never think calmly.Thinking of her suffering every day, he wished he could replace it with his own body.

"Of course, maybe my thoughts are one-sided. Professor Dumbledore is also a very wise person who grew up. Maybe you can ask him for advice based on this question, and then talk to him about your thoughts. People have What I do at the time will always misunderstand others. I hope my son will be an open-minded person. Don't be stingy with such a book about immortality. Professor Dumbledore will not give up for it. Have some bad thoughts."

"Of course he knows more about the wizarding world than we do. Maybe you can express your desire to worship him as a teacher this time, and he will definitely consider it seriously." Ma Xiong thought for a while, and then stopped writing.Tom is not a fool, maybe he was dazed by the pie falling from the sky, but when he calms down, he may not find something strange in it.

Ma Xiong didn't think there would be any kind of conspiracy behind this book, let alone someone who would deliberately frame a low-grade child.It is more likely that the idea of ​​this book is not so perfect, it is just an idea of ​​the author, and he never thought that a simple idea of ​​his would spread to the school, let alone that a student would put the whole book I have read all the books in the library.

Thinking of this, Ma Xiong was very relieved. Tom is a very talented child, but at the same time he is also a very hardworking child.Maybe others can only see his glamorous and genius-like side, but as parents, they always see his hard-working side first.Which child who plays around all day would think that Riddle, who has the best grade in the first grade, has almost read the entire library?

Children always imagine unrealistically that one day they can master all their homework without a teacher, so that they can surpass the children with the best grades, but they don't think about how much effort they put in for it.Genius, the most indispensable thing in this world is genius, but how many geniuses really work hard?

Based on this, Ma Xiong firmly believes that no matter what Tom wants to do, one day he will succeed.

After writing the reply letter to Tom, Xiongba's snacks were also prepared, and the package was ready and handed over to the owl to send back.They live in Hogsmeade now, with a small yard and some delivery owls in the back.In this world, women and children have always been the ones who earn the most money. Within half a year after the beauty potion store opened, their income doubled.

Riddle's beauty and potion shop is also gradually becoming famous in the wizarding world.Ma Xiong took advantage of some promotional methods of later generations, added the VIP system and the gimmick of giving away when you buy more in the mail order catalog, and added some natural beauty tips provided by Xiongba's friendship.It's not that he boasted, sometimes the freebies from Riddle's potion shop are more popular with witches than the real ones.

After the sales volume increased, Ma Xiong was reluctant to suffer from Xiong Ba, and Xiong Ba was worried about the potions purchased from outside, so their products were changed to a purchase restriction system, which made their popularity skyrocket several times.Occasionally, after Tom finished his homework in Potions class, the rest of the time would be used to make some small things to help his mother reduce the burden, so her work was not particularly tiring.

After the couple sent letters to their son every day, they nestled on the sofa and read a book. Sometimes when the night was just right, they would exchange a sweet kiss, and their relationship was very good.Ears and temples rubbed together, and often accidentally misfired, they didn't look like an old couple.Even when Tom was still at home, they never shy away from letting him know their parents' love in front of their son.

A family with loving parents will always make children feel safe and happy.What's more, they can't bear the days of being separated from each other. Sometimes they look at each other so affectionately that even a newlywed couple can't look directly at each other.When Tom went to school, he was still somewhat thankful that he would not interrupt the sweetness of his parents.

He wants a younger brother who will teach him his homework, take care of him when his parents are busy, and won't let anyone bully him.Of course, on the contrary, the younger brother will also become his right and left hand when he grows up, and they will be the best partners.Tom had written so in his diary, but the idea was unknown to both of them.

For a long time after that letter, Tom never mentioned eternal life and the book in his letter. Maybe he had struggled, or maybe he had his own considerations, Ma Xiong didn't know.The conversation became lighter afterward, and at one point Tom even brought up his own name in a slightly complaining tone: "Hey Dad, did you name me Tom on purpose? The bartender at the Leaky Cauldron, Keith's Uncle, Hank's brother... I doubt two-thirds of the world is called Tom. Oh, I almost forgot, Dad, your name is Tom too, right?"

"When someone calls Tom on the street, don't you always think it's calling you?" The last sentence has a hint of coquettishness in the complaint, maybe Tom wants to put that The heavy topic was put aside, but obviously this was not his momentary thought, he had a deep resentment towards the name.

Ma Xiong also responded to him in a joking tone: "Son, this is your mother's name. You have to know that no matter how you look at it, I mean I can't beat her except when I'm in the room." Tom grew up , He would occasionally talk to him about some men's topics, and they just took this level of dirty talk as a joke.

"I asked your mother in the afternoon. She said that she had a very beautiful wish for you. She hoped that you would look like me. She hoped that you would grow up to be a man like me. She hoped that you To be able to pass on the meaning of conservation that Tom Riddle stands for. My whole life, I have been protecting her and our children."

When Tom received the letter, although he thought his statement was a bit strange, he didn't think that they had many children besides him.You must know that even when he saw Severus and his parents later, he never thought that Severus was actually his brother.Maybe he thought about it, but who would care about such a trivial matter!He is old, his fists are hard, he has a lot of experience, he is an elder brother!He didn't care at all who the elder brother was!

It wasn't until the end of the first grade when Tom came home that he revealed to Mahon that he thought for a long time after receiving his letter, and then found Dumbledore with the book.They discussed the book, and finally he felt that Professor Dumbledore's conclusion was correct, "There are so many smart people in this world, the smartest may not live forever. If this method is feasible, then Where would the author of this book be?"

The author has something to say: 07:30mua should be restored tomorrow! (*╯3╰) See you tomorrow
