Wearing Pandora is swollen and broken [Greek mythology]

Pan Duoduo and Deucalion sat on the shore, silently watching the fish floating on the water.

Deucalion: ...

In a daze, he shifted his eyes to the woman sitting next to him with difficulty, and when he saw her looking back, he turned his head back like an electric shock.

It's pitiful to scare the child.Pan Duoduo felt a little sorry in her heart, she didn't expect such a result, she could kill a fish by throwing a small stone casually.

... Is it by chance?

No.

Pan Duoduo didn't think so.She has a sense in her heart, which is probably the ability to "hunt wild animals"... If this is the case, the effect will be really good...

surprisingly.

It's no wonder that those gods didn't give her gifts at first... It's true that the abilities of these gods are not easy to give to mortals at will.

Even when Artemis gave her this gift, she used a lot of qualifiers—the first is "animal", which probably means that this hunting ability cannot be used on gods or humans; ", which means that there is an owner of a domestic animal, and it is estimated that it cannot be harmed...

Really meticulous thought, completely different from Ares' rough style.

However, Pan Duoduo was quite content.

She has never had the stupid idea of ​​"using the power bestowed by gods to fight back against gods", so as long as her ability can actually help her survive well, she is content.

"Go, Diudiu, I will bring back my sister's booty." Pan Duoduo spoke.

Uh... why is it a little strange to say this... It seems to be calling the hunting dog I brought...

sin sin.

Deucalion gave Pan Duoduo a resentful look, and got up obediently and walked towards the stream.

"Wait, Diudiu, let's move it over with a branch. Your little one is too short, and the water will soak up your little belly." Pan Duoduo hurriedly stopped, she just wanted to tease the child , I really want him to soak in the water without being crazy.

Deucalion looked at her even more resentfully, and obediently went to pick up branches without complaint.

The child is suddenly so obedient, Pan Duoduo is not used to it.She kind of misses the way he blew up before... Could it be that she was really frightened?

Uh, it's better to restrain yourself in front of Xiaomiaomiao in the future... The child's parents are not around... She has to bully him lightly...

If Deucalion knew what she was thinking, he would probably complain angrily: Please be a human being!

Working together, one big and one small finally pulled the sacrificed fish to the shore.Pan Duoduo reached out to pick up the fish and looked at it for a moment: the size of a palm, round eyes, blue-gray fish scales, and complete fins... All in all, she just didn't recognize it.

"Can you eat it?" She lowered her head and asked the child.

The child bit his finger and asked uncertainly, "Can you?" Anyway, so many kinds of fish sent by his mother can be eaten.

One big and one small looked at each other for a moment.

"How about...try it? Maybe it's delicious." It's a pity to throw it away.

"Fine?"

Yes, how can you be willing to throw away the things you have obtained through "hard work" at will?No matter what, you have to taste it first, and in Pan Duoduo's impression, there seems to be nothing that these freshwater fish can't eat.

Pan Duoduo began to pick up twigs.

Little Douding was very curious, "What are you doing?"

"Get ready to grill the fish!" Pan Duoduo answered naturally while picking it up.

"But...we don't have a fire." Xiao Douding looked at the woman's busy back with eyes like a fool. Is she more confused than her uncle?How to roast without fire?

"If there is no fire, try to make a fire." Pan Duoduo straightened her waist, she is so strong now, is she afraid that the friction will not produce heat?

Look at what this woman is saying, light a fire if there is no fire?Did she think she was Hephaestus, god of fire, or Hestia, goddess of the hearth?

His father spent a lot of effort to get the fire from the frame of the sun god Helios, and because of this incident, he was taken away by the evil god Zeus... Why is this woman so nonchalant? !

Xiao Douding contemptuously slandered this boastful woman, and suddenly felt that she was more boastful than that monster with wings on her head.

Lying, she really is a bad woman, even if she has a younger brother, she is still a bad woman!

In fact, Pan Duoduo didn't know much about it.

If this was in her original world, on Earth, then she was sure that there must be a way to make fire by drilling wood or something.

But in this world... She doesn't know if she is still on the earth. In the past two days, she has seen too many things that violate the laws of physics... If all the fires here are under the control of God, even the basic principles of physics cannot be compared with it For balance...

Then they probably can only eat raw fish.

Or try it first.

Pan Duoduo didn't bother to have a warm meal.She found a dry piece of wood, broke open a stone with her bare hands, and dug a groove on the piece of wood with a sharp stone section.Then, she looked around again, and saw that there were almost no dry fallen leaves around, so she had to find another piece of dry wood, and planed out many fine wood flowers along the surface.

Deucalion saw that she was doing well, and he disliked her, but he was uncontrollably curious.Why make wood like this?Can fire be obtained with wood?What is she going to do?

Next, Pan Duoduo placed the planed wood flower at one end of the groove, found a harder branch, and broke it into a suitable length.

In fact, she had seen a lot of little tricks on how to make a fire in the wild before, but she had almost forgotten them now, and she didn't know if she could make a fire smoothly by doing so.

Pan Duoduo sat down on her knees in front of the ready-made simple fire tool, and began to quickly rub the wooden stick in the groove.

The first time, probably because the strength was a bit too strong, the wooden stick under her hand poked through the groove in just two strokes.

failure.

The second time, Pan Duoduo changed the groove for the wood flower again. This time she carefully controlled her strength, but there was no movement for a long time... Just when she almost thought that the laws of physics no longer favored this world, she finally A wisp of smoke curled from the wood shavings.

She was so excited that she immediately bent down and blew on the newborn sparks.Finally, the hard work paid off, and the red tongue of fire jumped more and more cheerfully, and soon wrapped the twigs she added into it and burned.

Successful.

It was the first time to light a fire with bare hands, and Pan Duoduo felt a sense of accomplishment in his heart.It feels so good that the rules of physics still care about this world!

At the same time, on Mount Olympus in the north, in the palace of Hephaestus, the god of fire and craftsmen.

Hephaestus, who was raising his hammer to forge a new magic weapon, suddenly felt something, and stopped the movement in his hand.

It seems... something has changed.

He looked towards the south, his expression was solemn for a moment.

There was a flame that was not created by God, and was born in this world.

But...it is very tiny, so weak that it seems to be going out at any moment.

almost negligible.

... Let's observe again, maybe it's just an uncertain coincidence.If it kept burning like this, he'd probably have to go over there and find out.

……

At this time, Pan Duoduo didn't know that a big crisis was brewing above her head.

At this moment, she was already in a hurry by a sudden crisis.

That's right, when the red flame started to burn, radiating its own light and heat wantonly, Pan Duoduo was happy, but Little Douding Deucalion cried.

Still the kind that can make people cry.

The child twitched twice without warning, and then tears poured out of the faucet that was turned on.He wiped the red eye sockets with his little glutinous paws, and his milky cry was full of grievances.

"Woooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo..."

Look, that little mouth is twitching from crying...

Pan Duoduo also panicked, what's the matter... She swears to God, she was really serious about lighting a fire just now and she didn't abuse children...

Could it be that the fire was too big to frighten him?

Impossible... His father is the ancestor of stealing fire...

Does she need a word of comfort?But she has never done coaxing children...

Pan Duoduo fell into deep thought.Shouldn't it be a three-piece suit of kissing, hugging, and raising high?right?Coaxing children seems to be like this...

Just when she was hesitating whether to hold back her disgust and go forward to kiss that little face covered with tears and snot, she heard the child complaining to her heartbroken, "Woooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo Why didn't you come to us earlier..."

"If, if you had come earlier... Dad wouldn't have taken the risk to get the fire, and wouldn't have been taken away by the villain Zeus... woooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo So It's so easy for you to get fire, nothing happens ...but Dad has been locked and can't come back... woo woo woo woo..."

"Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu..."

At the end of the crying, it simply turned into howling.

So this is the reason, Pan Duoduo thought.

What my father paid a huge price to do, others did it easily. Anyone who sees it will feel uncomfortable, right?Besides, the child's father left him because of this, leaving him alone.

Feelings of unfairness, unwillingness, and dissatisfaction are mostly normal.

But the truth is, it has nothing to do with her at all.

She is not at all obliged to be responsible for this, because the premise that "she showed up earlier" is not true in the first place.Rather, without his father Prometheus' series of actions, Pandora would not have been created, let alone come here.

Therefore, it is meaningless to say so many ifs about things that have passed.

However, the child's accusation will not arouse her disgust, and his reaction is reasonable.Seeing him crying so pitifully, she couldn't help but feel a little compassion.

But I will never blame myself for it...

Alas, if you let him cry like this, the water will be dried up, right?

It would be bad if his uncle saw it.

No matter how arrogant this child is, no matter how much he looks like a little adult, no matter how much he is a descendant of a god... After all, he is still just a child.

Especially, without parents guarding him by his side.

Pan Duoduo's heart moved slightly, her golden eyelashes drooped, covering her blue eyes.

After a while, she raised her eyes again, walked over, bent down and placed her hands under the child's arms, lifting him up easily.

The child was so frightened by this sudden action that he stopped and hiccupped in fear and aggrieved.

What is she going to do, won't she be angry and throw him out like a stone?

The next moment, the woman's gentle voice was like water, caressing the child's aggrieved soul.

"Don't cry, good boy. Deucalion is a good boy. Be good, your father will come back one day, and come back to you."

"Son, you have to know that all sacrifices have their inevitable meaning, and so is your father's dedication. Everything he has done will not be in vain. In addition, your father brought the fire because of the hardships behind him. My There is also an untold story behind the fire. There is no precious thing that can be easily obtained without paying, do you understand?"

Deucalion half-understood, he felt that the image of the woman was suddenly so tall... It was a bit like his father was teaching him... There seemed to be a sense of the Holy Spirit coming out of her mortal body, making her feel so tall... For a moment he forgot his grief and tears.

"Very good, good boy." The blond girl continued to speak softly, she pulled the child who had stopped crying back into her arms, and let him sit in her soft arms.Her lips with the scent of roses gently fell on the child's soft brown curly hair. It was obviously a cool temperature, but it was gentler than the sun.

Deucalion was stunned for a while, his whole face turned red like a tomato.

"You... you... let me down..."

The child did not dare to move, and was as shy as a gnat.

Pan Duoduo put him on the ground according to his words.

Kissing, hugging and raising high, although the order is reversed... She was supposed to kiss his little face, but when she saw that little cat's face covered with tears and snot...

Excuse me, she really can't keep her mouth shut...

However, it seems to be coaxed.Well, as long as you don't cry.

Deucalion covered his tomato-red face, turned his back and didn't dare to look at Pan Duoduo.

That woman, that woman actually... treated him like that...

But when she hugged him just now, she felt like a mother... That kind of kindness and tenderness made him just want to be a little sheep being shuffled in her arms...

She also kissed his forehead...

This woman is too, too... No wonder my uncle is so fascinated by her!
