The young man with long hair and white clothes sitting at the table looked at the old farmer in front of him, and couldn't help but look around, as if the world suddenly became very strange.He suppressed the disdain and surprise that were about to overflow in his heart, and barely maintained his aristocratic demeanor.asked:

"No, it's not... wait, this, this... why?"

"My lord," said the old farmer rubbing his hands, "it's autumn now."

When he said this, he paused, thinking that the noble lord in front of him should understand what he meant.

It's autumn, it's time for busy farming.

"And then?" Unexpectedly, Roman didn't understand what he wanted to express at all, but leaned forward and asked, "What do you want to say?"

This made the old farmer a little embarrassed. He rubbed his hands again, and said hesitantly, "Master... autumn is... the season for harvesting rice."

Roman suddenly realized.

As the heir of the Apocalypse family, although he lacks the courage to go to the battlefield, he is not one of those dudes who have no common sense.It's just that the matter of the autumn harvest is not as big a matter as deciding a year's harvest for him like the old farmer in front of him.It's just that, as an important factor affecting logistics, such knowledge exists in his mind.Therefore, he also understands the importance of the autumn harvest to these farmers.

He stood up straight, coughed twice and restored his aristocratic appearance, "That's all?"

If it is just such a reason, it cannot persuade and forgive the person in front of him for offending him.There was a little contempt in his eyes, although Roman didn't intend to punish him because the person in front of him did have merit.But this did not affect his reduction of the personal reward given to the old farmer in front of him.

The person in front of him didn't notice his emotions, but he became more embarrassed when he heard his question, and a bright red gradually rose on his rough face.

"Master," he murmured, waving his hands, "No more. No more, sir."

When Roman saw this, he was rarely interested in such common people's secrets.He sat down, supported his head with one hand, and threw a gold coin casually.

The shiny gold coin drew an arc in mid-air and landed in front of the old farmer. When it landed on the ground, it collided with the luxurious floor tiles and made a crisp sound. Then it spun around in a circle and fell to the ground.

The old farmer's eyes stared blankly at the gold coin, and he couldn't hide his greedy look.

Roman, who had seen a lot of the ugliness of these civilians, was not surprised by this scene, so he played with the gold coins in his hand.Suddenly thinking of the child he had just uttered, he felt better again, and Yu threw out the gold coin in his hand again, and it landed in a place similar to the previous one.asked:

"Tell me, why?"

"Master," the old farmer replied immediately with a more respectful attitude than ever before, but there was also a little shyness in his tone, "My mother-in-law is about to give birth, and I have to rush back to be a father." .”

Roman's hand knocking on the table suddenly stopped.

He suddenly raised his eyes and looked seriously at the old farmer in front of him for the first time.His face had the white patches of years of exposure to the sun, the skin was rough, and the forehead was wrinkled.

The clothes on his body are rough and tattered, with openings here and there, which are the injuries he suffered on the escort road, and there are faintly bloody rags inside, and there is a wound on his head, which has been bandaged now His leg was crooked in a strange posture, and the entire left calf was wrapped in a step, which was also stained with blood.

"Again, what are you doing?"

"My mother-in-law is about to give birth, and I'm going back to be a father, sir."

Roman suddenly felt that the anger he had been offended before was a bit dull.

……

"Then you became like this?" Gong Ming said, "I didn't hear any causal relationship."

"Not long after they set off, there will be a report from there." Ignoring Gong Ming's words, Roman just said calmly:

"Their village was attacked by the Houkai Beast. The mother-in-law and her unborn child died in the Houkai Beast's belly. The one who attacked their village was the same group that attacked them on the escort road beast."

"..." Gong Ming stopped talking.

"After the greedy and cowardly man received the news, he ran out in the direction where the Houkai beasts left like crazy. I guess he should have found the group of Houkai beasts, because he was later infected by the Houkai beasts. When he was beaten to death by the army of destiny that arrived later, he still carried the gold coins that I rewarded him. He originally planned to use the gold coins to buy a mill, and as a small miller, he took his wife to live. On a 'good day'."

"I don't deny that he is a greedy man." Roman continued: "His character is unquestionable and untrustworthy. When he was killed as a dead man, he had more gold coins than I gave him. This number is comparable to the total number of other people in his team. There is no doubt that he was greedy. He is greedy, cowardly, irresponsible, inferior to force, and bad in character, but in a sense, he is also A qualified father."

"...Okay" Gong Ming said, "This is indeed a very good story."

Roman smiled lightly and shook his head, raised his footsteps and led Gong Ming forward, gradually walking up a long staircase until he reached a rooftop on the second floor.

"I didn't say this to make sense, or to express something." Roman leaned against the wall and looked up at the sky, with his hands on the wall.The wind blows, blowing his hair, against a background of deep blue sky and flowing white clouds.There is a faint taste of wind.

"With your identity and experience, there is no need for me to talk about it." He looked at Gong Ming and chuckled, "These can only be regarded as confidantes and sharing as an ally and friend. But it would be best if you have any feelings. "

"I'm afraid you're used to being a teacher and a parent." Gong Ming walked along the wall, leaning on the wall, and glanced at Roman who was next to him with a pass.

"It's just one thing." He turned around and looked at the children playing below with Gong Ming. "Every time I look at these children, I feel a heavy responsibility on my shoulders."

"Why didn't you see the rest of your family? Where's your wife? It should be a very rude thing for a guest to come without a hostess according to your etiquette, right?"

"The Apocalypse family does not have a mistress." Roman said softly, "My wife died of dystocia when giving birth to my last child, and I have never been married since then."

"..." Gong Ming was silent for a while, and apologized softly.

"Feel sorry."

"It's okay, it was already six years ago. I was decadent in my early years, but now I see it. Even you, you can't resurrect the dead, right?"

Roman's voice was indifferent, but the question was still used at the end of the words, the tone was deep, and there was a deep expectation hidden.

"I'm just a doctor, not a god." Gong Ming's robe shook slightly in the wind, "Besides, I don't think even a god should be able to do such a thing."

"Even the gods can't do it?" Roman said with emotion: "Reversing life and death is still impossible... Actually, I would rather you comfort me, anyway, it is impossible for me to find a god in my life." Come and help me solve this problem."

"False hopes are more addictive than poppies, especially when it comes to relationships. I don't think you can stay single for long. You're still young, but in your thirties. Maybe one day you'll love you I don’t miss my wife anymore, maybe one day you will find that the girl is actually pretty good. At that time, you will remarry and take a concubine, this is the state that life should have.”

"Maybe..." Roman forced a smile.

"Don't act like you're infatuated. It's just that you and I have different ideas." Gong Ming said with a sneer, "I've never really understood the emotional logic of you Westerners. You can vent your desires on your own maids, but as long as you don’t remarry, you can flaunt your loyalty. You don’t seem to have the slightest sense of responsibility for those maids who are possessed by you. In my opinion, your behavior like this is considered a crime. Abusive."

After all, Gong Ming ignored the embarrassment of Roman next to him, turned around and walked in the direction he came from.
