Chapter 2 Ceremony 试读章节
When the new spring comes, little Richard is also beginning to lose his childishness. The hunting knife around his waist is finally no longer a decoration. He also began to hunt with the hunters in the village. Although he didnt go too far into the forest, he wouldnt stand in the front line in the face of Warcraft. The work assigned to him was more of a boy, setting traps and cleaning up prey, but at least it showed that he was already a hunter. Bobby the blacksmith is very happy again, because Richards hunting knife was made by several precious pieces of steel, which he spent several nights. Every time little Richard kills a Warcraft with it, Bobby will be happy for a long time.
Hunting is always dangerous. There are many Warcraft hidden in the endless coastal mountains, and occasionally there are lost Warcraft in the deep mountains who come to Rutherland village. Little Richard met a gray wolf. This is a real second-class Warcraft, even the village head should seriously deal with it. When encountering the magic wolf, little Richard was surrounded by only two village hunters. It was a hard battle, and all three people were badly hurt, but in the end they dragged the body of the magic wolf back to the village.To the praise of the villagers, in the whole life-and-death struggle, little Richard was unusually calm and calm, and his response was correct. Even the best hunter could not do better. And if little Richard hadnt cut off the tendon of the magic wolfs hind paw with one knife, it might have been another result.
In any case, Richard Jr. encountered many dangers this year, and he always kept calm and handled it well. No matter how dangerous the situation is, he never flinched. At the age of nine, Richard learned courage. This year seems to be the easiest year, because children in the mountains never lack courage. But the courage that my mother taught Richard was different. Richard did it. From then on, my mother no longer called him little Richard, but my Richard.
"My Richard is already a real man!" Every time I see Richard, Elaine always smiles.
But one day, Richard held out his chest and answered, "A real man needs wisdom!"
" Elaine was taken aback, looked at Richard carefully and asked, "Tell mom, who told you this?"
"Its written in the book!"
"Which book?" Elaine asked patiently. Not to mention wizards, even magic apprentices are very rich in knowledge. So Richard has learned several languages with Elaine, and there is even a very difficult and obscure ancient language. Reading is no longer a problem for Richard. He even finished several introductory books on magic in the boring winter, but Elaine cant remember which book has such a sentence.
"Is the book in the attic, there are many interesting things. I know for the first time that the world is so big. " Richard said excitedly.
"Is that book?" Elaine remembered something, then smiled again: "That book is very interesting. My Richard, a real man cant lack wisdom, but perseverance, strength and courage are even more rare. My Richard is so clever that he will never lack wisdom when he grows up. Therefore, mother should cultivate your characters first, understand? "
"and happiness!" Richard scrambled to say. Elaine smiled and touched Richards head and said, "Yes, and happiness! Is my Richard happy these years? "
Little Richard shook his head and said sullenly, "Not always happy. Piru bullied me, and besides, I hate breadfruit. Also, mom, what kind of person is dad? " Elaines face suddenly changed, and then she said softly, "Your father is a real man …" Richard immediately added, "I know! He is also the worst bad guy! It is the person that my mother hates most! "
Elaine smiled. Richard asks this question several times every year, and she always answers it. Richard can recite it by heart now. But Richard is a clever boy. He can understand Elaines deep hatred when she mentioned his father. After a long time, Richard also hates this father. Because many times, Richard woke up in the middle of the night and heard his mother crying softly.
The childs logic is very simple, and his mother loves him the most and is also his favorite person. What mom hates is what he hates. Every once in a while, Richard will ask about his father. On the one hand, he is curious, because as long as he grows up, his mother will tell him more about his father. On the other hand, Richard wants to know more about his father, so that he can avenge his mother when he grows up. As for how to get revenge, he is still a child now, of course, he has no clue, but this matter has been remembered in his heart.
But this time, Elaine didnt tell Richard more about his father, but only said that her time with Richards father was very short, and she only knew so much.
"One day, you will know your father very well." I dont know why, Elaine suddenly said this. As soon as this sentence came out, her face changed, as if she were holding something in her heart. Elaine herself doesnt know why she said this sentence.
Richard keenly felt that his mothers mood suddenly went bad, so he quietly spat out his tongue, said "I went to read" and ran to the back room. Thats Elaines study, and next to it is the laboratory for preparing drugs. There are not many books in the study, all of which are knowledge of magic basics, introduction to potions, history, geography and scenery of the mainland, which is commensurate with Elaines status as a magic apprentice.Richard likes reading here in the evening. There is a magic lamp in the study, and the light is not bright. If you fill it with Elaines magic once, you can make the magic lamp light up for one night. Because oil is very expensive, Elaine is the only one who can light a lamp for a long time at night except the village chief, the blacksmith and the most powerful hunters.
In this humble but warm little room, Richard spent his childhood quietly. In those thick books, he saw another world, a wider, more complex, higher and more magnificent world than Rutherland. Little Richard has been quietly thinking that when he grows into the best hunter in the village, he will take his mother and leave Rutherland village to see the world outside the mountain.
Elaine was sitting alone in the living room, and there was the sound of brushing books in her ear. Little Richard is studying hard again. He has mastered the basic magic knowledge very solidly, but he hasnt really studied magic yet. Elaine even forbade him to practice meditation. On the mainland, if you want to be a good magician, you usually start your initial meditation at the age of four or five, so that you can accumulate enough spirit and start learning and cultivating magic at the age of ten. But little Richard didnt think there was anything wrong with it, because he didnt know anything, and because he thought his mother was right about everything.
Elaine sat quietly, just because she said one more word tonight, the door of memory opened quietly, and many dusty past events emerged one by one, but she couldnt press them.
My head began to hurt, and Elaine gently rubbed her forehead and sighed. Her eyes rested on the calendar on the desk and suddenly she saw an eye-catching mark. In ten days, it will be Richards tenth birthday. Ten years old is the boundary between boys and teenagers, while thirteen or fourteen years old can barely be regarded as an adult.
Unconsciously, has it been ten years? Elaine stared at the jumping light in the magic lamp, and the brass lamp body was polished to reflect her face. She is not beautiful, only a beautiful woman, but she is one of the best beauties in Rutherland village. Ten years have passed, but the years have failed to leave any trace on her face. Few people would remember her age if the style of clothes had not been close to that of middle-aged women. If strangers meet, they will definitely think that Elaine is only in her early twenties.
The face reflected on the brass lampshade is actually very strange to Elaine, and it is too ordinary, because when she was born, it was not such a face. A long time ago, she never even thought that she would live such a simple, simple and hard life, and it would last for ten years. But watching Richard grow up day by day, she feels so full in her heart.
Elaine walked into the study, looked at Richard, who was reading with relish with a thick World of Warcraft picture book, and smiled and said, "My Richard will be ten years old soon. Mom has prepared a special ceremony for you to celebrate my Richards growth."
"yeah! Will there be a gift? " Richard jumped up, only then did he show that he was still a boy.
"Yes, it will be a gift to follow you for a lifetime. But you should have a good rest these days, okay? Its very late now, its time to go to bed. "
