summer in timata

After staying in Xiaoduo's tent for 8 days, Taqilan returned to her tent in Tailabu.She walked forward, and Qingwa and Gu'an lived in one after the other.Gu'an was better, but Qingwa was also crying from the pain.Mu Zhongxia temporarily put aside the matter of the smelting room and took care of the two weak girls.

He gave the lunch to Taqilan's Hai Nu and asked him to take it to Taqilan, and Mu Zhongxia went to deliver the meal to Qingwa and Gu'an.When he returned to the tent, Tong Xu and Wu Hagen also came back.The two were serving a meal, and Amanda was setting the dishes.Seeing him, Wu Hagen asked, "Teacher, are Qing Wa and Gu An okay?"

Mu Zhongxia: "They soaked their feet with wormwood, and they felt better." After a pause, he still said: "Girls will feel uncomfortable for a few days every month. When they both feel better, I will go to the smelting room Make a few moxibustion boxes for their daily use."

Uhagen nodded.

Having lived in the slums of Hesare City for two years, Uhagen didn't know anything.Tong Xu is also an adult, so he naturally knows something about it. After all, there are many women in his family, so he usually hears about it more or less.Tong Xu glanced at the teacher and couldn't help but said: "Teacher, the Dimata people will let women of this period live in caves, is it true?"

Mu Zhongxia raised his eyes.

Tong Xu's face flushed slightly: "I heard it from the people in the smelting room."

Uhagen interjected and explained: "They saw the Christmas Festival worn by Tong Xu and me, so they asked a question. Later, they said that the Di Mata woman was going to the dirty cave. Teacher, you firmly refused it at that time, and even sent the ancient Ann took it out from the dirty hole, saying that as long as she wears the Christmas Day, it will not bring disasters to the men in the family."

Mu Zhongxia asked: "Then do you think that women in that period would bring disasters to men?"

Tong Xu shook his head violently: "Of course not!" He even seemed a little annoyed.

Wu Hagen said: "When I was in Haolan Tehu, most of the women there would be driven to other places by their families during this period, and women who gave birth to children would also be separated by their families. It's not clean .”

Tong Xu looked at Wu Hagen in disbelief: "This is too ignorant!"

Uhagen was very calm: "Many backward places in most of Venice have such ignorant customs. In my hometown, many common people also have such rules."

Tong Xu immediately looked at the teacher: "Teacher, is Eden too?"

Mu Zhongxia shook his head: "I don't know if there is a poor place in Eden, but there is none around me."

Tong Xu: "I don't have any around me either!"

Wu Hagen: "Only when everyone reads the book and realizes that this is a wrong and bad habit, can this situation be changed slowly. The teacher here is already under pressure to insist on not letting Gu'an go to the dirty hole. If the teacher Not from Eden, and I don't think the tribe would allow the teacher to do that."

Mu Zhongxia: "At that time, people in the tribe were really against it. Fortunately, Tethyr was willing to listen to me. That's why I asked Tethyr to set up a small tent for Gu'an near Abiwo's tent. , and there is the Christmas Festival. The people of Dimata have been living a life almost isolated from the world, and Aham is so far away from other countries. We cannot ask the people living here to be like Eden and most of Venice. Civilization. Even in most of Venice, don’t there be bad habits like this? What we can do now is to start with ourselves, and then gradually affect the people around, and then spread to the entire tribe. With the tribe and the outside world With more and more exchanges, everyone will gradually change their ideas.

At least now everyone has accepted that Gu’an will not go to the dirty hole. This time, when Tethyr and Abiwo come back safely, everyone will see whether Gu’an will go to the dirty hole and whether Tethyr and Abiwo will go to the dirty hole. There is no direct relationship between the safety and security. I believe that it will not be long before more and more women in the tribe, at least the women who lead the tribe, will not go to the dirty hole. "

Tong Xu: "Teacher, I don't mind! I will deliver dinner to Gu'an and Qingwa at night! At home, when my sister, younger sister and mother are not feeling well, I will deliver meals to them and take care of them."

Uhagen: "I don't mind either."

Mu Zhongxia: "I'm very glad that you think so. I'll deliver the dinner. You are all single after all. If you go, Gu'an and Qingwa will definitely feel embarrassed."

Tong Xu pursed his lips: "Then teacher, what can Uhagen and I do?"

Mu Zhongxia: "At this stage, we need to refine more ores. One is to enhance your perception and cognition of materials, and the other is to help me. Good weapons of the tribe, especially magic weapons, are in short supply. Every year, the battle with wild beasts It's extremely cruel, I can't control others, I just hope that the casualties of the soldiers of the third tribe can be as few as possible."

Tong Xu and Wu Hagen nodded vigorously, they will not be lazy.Leaving Uhagen aside, since Tong Xu studied with the teacher, his understanding of materials has indeed improved a lot.

Mu Zhongxia then asked: "Do you know which sugar-containing plant is used to extract the sugar we eat?"

Tong Xu: "There are bilu vegetables, sugar bud roots and sweet buckwheat. Eden mostly uses bilu vegetables, and most of us in Venice use sweet buckwheat. Siam Chen and Xinqisi countries mostly use sugar bud roots. It is said that sugar bud roots Sugar yields the highest. Many of the pirates where the sea slaves are also have sugar sprout roots."

Wu Hagen was surprised: "Tong Xu, you really know a lot."

Tong Xu said a little embarrassedly: "My family grows buckwheat to make sugar, and I also heard from my uncle."

Mu Zhongxia and Wu Hagen understood that Tong Xu's family owned a sugar factory and a sugar plantation field, so they were commonly known as farmers.Mu Zhongxia asked: "Then among the three sugar crops, do any of them grow tall and are rod-shaped?"

Tong Xu thought for a while, then shook his head and said, "No. Bilucai has big yellow leaves and is not tall. The sugar bud root is extracted from the rhizome, and the sweet buckwheat is not high." Tong Xu made a gesture.

Mu Zhongxia nodded, thinking that if he had the chance, he would still see which of these three sugar crops could produce brown sugar.He said: "Tong Xu, if you go home, ask your family to help me get some seeds of these three sugar crops. It would be better if there are real ones."

Tong Xu immediately said: "Teacher, I won't go back. When the warm season comes, I can ask someone to deliver the letter back for me, and let my family send someone to deliver it." Anyway, he will not leave the teacher until he succeeds in his studies.

Mu Zhongxia didn't insist, and said: "When the warm season comes to Tailabu, they will definitely go to most of Venice, and they can deliver the letter for you."

Tong Xu: "That's no problem!"

After lunch, Tong Xu and Wuhagen packed up and went back to take a lunch break.Mu Zhongxia asked Amanda to take a lunch break, and he went to see Gu'an and Qingwa.After the two of them had dinner, Qingwa had given Hai Nu to clean the tableware.Qingwa was still very uncomfortable, so Mu Zhongxia could only ask her to drink more hot water, and asked Gu'an to give her moxibustion again.

After leaving the tent, Mu Zhongxia was going to the smelting room, but was stopped by Ta Qilan's Hai Nu, saying that Ta Qilan was looking for him.Mu Zhongxia got on the horse, and Hai Nu led him there.Each of the 10 sea slaves who came with them was strong, which made their snow season in Ahan not so difficult.Mu Zhongxia also gave Hainu snake ointment.Zotan's two sea slaves followed him.Mu Zhongxia was not used to using slaves, but he couldn't stop others from using slaves.

Arriving at Taila Bu's tent, Mu Zhongxia wiped off the falling snow on his body, knocked on the door and entered.The tent is very warm, with 5 heaters on.Taqilan is not as thick as she is wearing, and her overall look looks okay.Seeing him, Ta Qilan asked, "How are Qingwa and Gu'an?"

Mu Zhongxia: "Gu'an is fine, and Qingwa is still very uncomfortable. Gu'an will give her a moxibustion in a while. I will go to the smelting room and make some moxibustion boxes for you. If you have nothing to do, you can do moxibustion. Yes. It is helpful to keep warm from the cold and enhance physical fitness.”

Taqilan: "Thank you." Then she walked to the table and sat down, and said, "I have something to ask you."

Seeing that she was a little serious, Mu Zhongxia put away her relaxation, walked over and sat down.

Ta Qilan took a special look at Mu Zhongxia's smoke-gray hair, and asked him, "You said you were an orphan, so do you know who your parents are?"

Mu Zhongxia frowned slightly.

Taquilan: "You answer my question first."

Mu Zhongxia: "My mother passed away when I was born, and the only photo she left me holding the newborn me." He took out the pendant from his neck, took it off, opened it, and handed it over.

Taqilan took the pendant and looked at the beautiful but frail woman in the photo embedded inside, holding a newborn baby.There was no blood on the woman's face, but there was nostalgia, sadness and happiness in her eyes that the child would come safely.Taqilan returned the pendant and asked, "What about your father?"

Mu Zhongxia put back the pendant and said, "I don't know. According to Fan Lusi, my mother's belly was already big when she went to find her. She never mentioned my father until my mother died. Van Luth tricked me back from the academy, and I didn't know that my mother left me a relic. I don't know what's in that relic. The password setting of that magic treasure box is very complicated, and I still can't solve it. Open. I'm not sure if there will be news about my father in it."

Taqilan took a deep breath and said, "The next thing I want to say, first of all, I'm not sure if it will be related to you, but I think I should probably tell you."

Mu Zhongxia: "Tell me."

Taquilan: "I stayed in Eden for eight years."

Mu Zhongxia nodded.

"In the past eight years, for some reasons, I have been able to get to know many very prestigious wizards and mechanics in Eden."

Mu Zhongxia still nodded.

Taqilan: "There is a Xing-level mechanic, at least when I left Eden, he was still Xing-level, named Qi Desha. He comes from the Aimai family, a family of mechanics in Eden. The symbol of that family is, smoke gray s hair."

Mu Zhongxia's eyes suddenly widened.

Taqilan: "The men in the Aimai family are all famous playboys. Zidsha can be said to be the best among them. I have seen him many times, at some banquets. Every time the women around him Not the same. In Eden, in a family like the Aimai family, whether it is a mechanical family or a magic family, usually the men will have a family arrangement, with wives that match their status and status, to ensure that they will give birth to a good enough Offspring. At the same time, these men will also have countless mistresses, in the name of giving birth to as many excellent offspring as possible for the family, but in fact they are playing with other people's feelings unscrupulously. The women in these families are no exception. Talented They will find a man who is equally talented and of good family background to marry. Whether they will give birth to excellent offspring or not, they will also have many lovers.

Many talented mechanics and sorcerers who were born as civilians could easily become childbearing tools or vassals of these aristocratic families if no one protected them. "

Speaking of this, Taqilan said: "You are an orphan, but actually coming to Ahan is the safest for you. You are so talented, once you are favored by a certain family, unless your teacher is willing to protect you, otherwise You will definitely be controlled by a certain mechanical family, at best, you will become the son-in-law of that family, at worst, you will become a tool for their control."

Mu Zhongxia's face was very ugly.Taqilan: "Your hair color is obvious. I have seen several mechanics of the Amy family. For them, the orthodox Amy family's mechanic must have smoke gray hair. Do you have Such an iconic head of hair, yet so mechanically gifted, that I doubt..."

Mu Zhongxia: "Do you suspect that that man is Qi Desha?"

Taqilan: "I can't be sure. Zidsha is the most male of the Amy family that I have ever seen. Judging from his age, he may or may be other men in the Amy family. Zidsha has There are several half-brothers who are younger than him, and countless cousins."

Mu Zhongxia pursed his lips tightly, feeling very confused.Not for himself, but for Mu Xiu.

Taqilan: "I have been away from Eden for more than ten years, and I have never gone back during these ten years. Eden is my sad place."

Mu Zhongxia looked at Ta Qilan, and Ta Qilan showed a wry smile: "I thought, what I met was love..."

Ta Qilan didn't finish her words, but Mu Zhongxia understood.Taqilan went on to say: "I thought the man who loved me deeply came from Eden's magic family. He has a wife that the family has arranged for him, and I am just one of his many lovers."

Mu Zhongxia said in a hoarse voice, "That's why you had prejudice against me when you first met me."

Taqilan nodded: "I hate everything about Eden. If I had a choice, I would rather never go to Eden, even if I don't go to Eden, I can't become a high-level sorcerer."

Mu Zhongxia: "I understand. I was willing to come to Ahan, not only to get rid of the control of Van Ruth, but also to get rid of the control of the Mechanics Union in the future. I can't accept that I can't have my own marriage autonomy, especially In the case of my natural preference for men."

Taqilan: "If you want to determine whether your father is a man from the Amy family, I can help."

Mu Zhongxia thought about it and said, "Thank you, I want to wait until I can open that treasure chest before deciding whether to confirm it."

Taqilan: "If it is confirmed that your father is from the Aimai family?"

Mu Zhongxia said a little coldly: "Is it true, at most it made me figure out my own life experience. I am an orphan and will always be." He would not be overjoyed because of a sudden addition of a so-called father. I will not feel deeply regretful because I know my life experience.

Taqilan: "It's good for you to think so. The farther away from those aristocratic families, the better."

Mu Zhongxia nodded approvingly.He thought that if Mu Xiu was alive, he would definitely support his decision.

After returning from Ta Qilan, Mu Zhongxia's mood was not as calm as he appeared on the surface.He took out the only relic left by Patrice to his son Mu Xiu, and stroked the complicated magic circles on the magic treasure box with his fingers, feeling uneasy.He didn't know if this was the reaction of Mu Xiu's residual soul, or his deep feelings for that beautiful woman and Mu Xiu who was shrouded in the shadow of an illegitimate child in his short life.

The array of spells on the magic treasure box is complicated. If you want to open this treasure chest, you must find out the profound mechanical principles hidden in these spell arrays.Did Patrice leave her son such a magic treasure box to protect the contents of the box, or as a stepping stone for her son to achieve a certain wish in the future?

Seeing that Father Mu had been holding a magic treasure box without saying a word when he came back, Amunda put down the book, walked to Father Mu and stopped quietly.Mu Zhongxia came back to his senses, and put his arms around Amonda: "Father Mu is fine."

Amunda: "Father Mu, do you miss Father?"

Mu Zhongxia: "...Yeah, I miss him, and I also miss Abiwo."

Amunda hugged Mu'afu hard.
