[Comprehensive] The family has waste wood and is beginning to grow

"Out there in the sea, the water is so blue, like the petals of the most beautiful cornflower, and at the same time so clear, like the brightest glass. And yet it is so deep that no anchor chain can reach the bottom. To get from the bottom of the sea to the surface of the water, there must be many church steeples, connected one after another to form..."

The sunlight shines in through a small window in the basement, perhaps because it is rare, it is extraordinarily precious and warm.

Enzo, who was lying on the bed, squinted his eyes comfortably, quietly listening to the book that Laura was reading to him.

It has been a week since the operation, and the recovery is not bad, and it is out of danger, just take it slowly.

And everything in the outside world has already been arranged. Enzo said that he just needs to lie here and wait for the result. In an instant, he changed from a dying wounded to his usual young master.And after being free like this, he said that he couldn't just waste his time like this, and had to read some books to enrich himself.In view of the current poor physical condition, Laura was asked to read to him.

Adhering to the concept of being the most wounded, Laura agreed.When asked what book he wanted to hear, the answer he gave her was... Andersen's fairy tales? !

After hearing such a sentence at that time, Laura's whole face turned pale... She almost called Shamar to check if Enzo had another problem with his brain nerves.

In the past, she had exchanged her favorite books with him, and Enzo's favorite readings were Machiavelli's "The Prince" and Thoreau's "Disobedience"...The taste suddenly changed from a conspiracy to an innocent child , the contrast is too great.

But this guy shamelessly put on a childish look of "don't care, don't care, I'm going to listen to this", so Laura reluctantly found a book of Hans Christian Andersen's fairy tales to read to him, and used the Read the original text in Danish.

What I am reading now is the "Daughter of the Sea".

Enzo, who had been listening quietly all this time, suddenly said, "Cornflowers, the sea like cornflowers...do you like cornflowers?"

To be honest, he doesn't really like fairy tales, and he has never liked them. This is simply two extremes with his reading tendency of advocating conspiracy theories.

But he wanted to hear the stories she had heard since she was a child, the stories from that fairy tale country... while he could still listen.

"I like it... Many children in our area know the flower of cornflower for the first time because of the opening chapter of "The Daughter of the Sea." Laura stopped the story she was originally reading, and said with a smile.

Turning his gaze away, Enzo's expression was rarely indifferent and peaceful, "I don't know much about flowers, I just know that it is the national flower of Germany."

"I don't think you will have the leisure to appreciate flowers." Laura stroked Enzo's messy hair and whispered: "I remember you told me before that Mrs. Pengoile I loved wind Hyacinth, so that King Vongola I planted the whole garden full of hyacinths for his beloved wife. But in fact, I don’t like that kind of flower very much. The flower language of hyacinth is “forever miss”, this flower language, too It's too sad. So I still prefer the flower language of cornflower...'encounter and happiness'."

It is a kind of happiness in itself to be able to meet you at the right time, not too early or too late, in this vicissitudes of life.

"'Encounter and happiness'..." Enzo murmured, his iris-colored eyes seemed to be shining brightly and softly under the warm sunlight, then he narrowed his eyes again, and the corners of his mouth raised slightly: "Well, I I also feel very happy.”

"Huh?" Laura didn't react to the other party's sudden sentence for a while.

Enzo just smiled faintly, "It's nothing, well, keep reading...I want to hear the story behind."

"...But one must not think that there is only a sea of ​​white sand. No, there grow the most wonderful trees and plants. Their branches and leaves are so soft that if the water moves a little, they will Just shake it, as if they were alive. All the fish, big and small, swim among these branches, like birds of the sky..."

……

After the sunny day, it was cloudy and rainy for several days, and the rain continued.

However, Enzo, who was recovering from his injuries, was not affected by the bad weather. Instead, he was happy in the basement listening to the sound of rain coming from the small window.For him, this is a rare moment of leisure in his life.

There was a burst of lightness in my heart, I didn't think about anything, and I didn't worry about everything outside.Let everything go with the flow, and only wish to enjoy the present moment, the rare peace and serenity in his not-so-long life.

On this day, it was still raining outside the house, Laura supported Enzo and tried to get out of bed and walk.

"My leg wasn't hurt, so I don't need to be so cautious." Enzo said, who was holding his abdominal wound lightly. Even though he said that, he didn't resist this feeling.

Just when Laura was about to say something, she heard a sudden movement from the upper floor...someone entered the house!

Instantly raised his vigilance, Enzo, who was supported by Laura, instinctively pulled out his arm, took a step forward, and blocked Laura.

It wasn't until three long, one short, and two long sounds were sounded on the wooden board covering the entrance to the basement that the originally tense two people finally breathed a sigh of relief.

After a while, the board was removed, and several people walked down the stairs and entered the basement.

"You guys came together enough, it seems that everything has been resolved." Without any overjoyed look, Enzo just said in a steady tone, as if everything was not beyond his expectations.

There were indeed a lot of people who came, Riboun, Sawada Iemitsu, Shamar, Anasta, and several people from the Mafia who secretly cooperated with the leader Gabrielone all arrived.

Li Baoen, the leader, had a baby's innocent smile on his face, but his words were not polite: "The next time people can get together like this, it will probably be your funeral."

Enzo sighed helplessly: "Hey, hey, my injury hasn't healed yet, so don't curse me like that."

Although he knew very well that the funeral reunion might not be far away.

Of the four people who came, Laura only met Anastas and Shamar, and the other two... She had heard of Iemitsu Sawada, after all, she almost attended his wedding when she went to Japan six years ago; As for Li Baoen, even though the baby body made her feel weird, she would not ask any more questions, because she knew that they were the few people Enzo could trust.

Shamar stepped forward directly, complaining that he was dead, while checking the recovery of Enzo's wound and changing his dressing, "Really, how much medical skills I wasted on you black-hearted bastard... It seems that I will have to Make a rule and resolutely not treat men."

"Oh? Then I'm quite honored to be your last male patient." Enzo smiled rather sinisterly.

Shamar gave him an annoyed look, "I think your injuries are all healed up... your ghostly spirit is boiling again."

On the side, Li Baoen also talked about the serious matter: "Enzo, Albert is dead, and the escape route you predicted before he might choose is correct... Don't worry, I fired the shot that killed him in the end. , there will be no mistakes."

"All Albert's party members have also been eliminated, but..." Iemitsu Sawada frowned, his face a little stagnant: "In the end, one person ran away, Albert's daughter Agnes. You also know Albert dotes on his only daughter very much, so at the last moment he tried his best to save his daughter, even using himself as a bait to make her escape successfully."

Anastasia also said: "This time, according to the plan you made before, I opened the breakthrough bit by bit from Agnes. After all, she has been obsessed with you since she was a child. As long as she is doing it for your own good, that idiot will Willing to do anything... In fact, she could be caught in the end, so I always feel a little uneasy just letting her slip away."

I don't know if it's because he's exhausted or tired, but Enzo just waved his hand, not paying much attention to it, "It doesn't matter, that naive and pampered young lady can't make any trouble... just run away, spare her One life can be regarded as accumulating some virtues before I go to hell."

Laura, who had been listening silently at the side, couldn't help but become solemn... She still had an impression of Agnes, she was indeed an arrogant and stupid young lady, but...

Just when she was caught in her own thoughts, her cheeks suddenly became hot and tight...

Enzo reached out and pinched her cheek lightly, and said with a light smile, "What are you thinking, you look so serious."

"Enzo, I just think...Since Agnes was willing to do anything because she liked you back then, and now you have ruined everything because of that love, if that paranoia is used in the opposite direction... there is always something very bad premonition."

She is just trying to figure out the psychology of such a woman from the perspective of an actor. After all, love and hate are just a thin line, between a thought, how crazy is the dedication that can be made because of love, and how much revenge can be made because of hate? It will also be crazy.

"There's nothing to worry about...even if something happens, just come to me." Enzo said softly.

Li Baoen continued: "Congratulations, Enzo. From Timothy, to Matthew, to Joseph, and then to Albert... the influence of the elders has finally been wiped out, as you wish , Gabrielone's power has finally returned to the hands of Gabrielone's bloodline."

After seven and eight generations of puppet regimes that were emptied, the ninth generation finally regained the glory that should have belonged to Gabrielone.

"Yeah, everything is finally over..." Enzo seemed to sigh with emotion.

Looking out of the window through the small window... It's another rainy day...

Since the day when he secretly swore to his father's tombstone in the rain that year, isn't this moment what he has been looking forward to all these years.But when this moment really came, there was no feeling of ecstasy, as if...these are not that important anymore.

"However, things are not that simple." Li Baoen reminded with an unchanged expression, "The next thing you have to face is a mess that is waiting to be done. Although the huge intertwined forces in the family have been Cleared, but it also means that you do not have much influence in the family, and family members do not trust and gather by your side; what's more, since the seventh generation leader has been poached by those who have been in power for half a century With an empty economy, the financial crisis of the Gabrione family is also very serious."

"What do these... have anything to do with me..." Enzo lowered his eyelids under the puzzled eyes of everyone around him, whispering secretively.

He knew very well that his body was running out of time.Compared with seizing the last time to solve these problems for his son, he still thinks... It would be better to pave a longer road for his son.

Financial decline and downturn, the future will be left to Dino to solve.If Dino can solve it very well, then compared with the ninth generation who is not doing his job properly and making no achievements, the members of the family will definitely recognize Dino more. Only in this way can Dino sit down more stably and for a longer time.

Then, let Gabriel IX's mediocrity remain in the records of family history.

Gabrielone's new glory will belong to the future tenth generation leader.

This ancient family will be reborn in the hands of ten generations.
