What's wrong with a lord daddy who just wants to draw cards?

Are you afraid of wasting so much?

Or is it the tradition of the festival?Want to throw extra meals into the lake to feed the fish?

He asked this question curiously.

Gracea didn't explain much, but motioned to Domi to look around.

"around?"

He looked around and saw many gray-faced children wearing tattered clothes looking at them cautiously. The oldest among them was about 12 years old, and the youngest was only five or six years old.

They have one thing in common - thinness.

Duomi recognized their identities at just one glance:

"Children living in slums?"

"So these extra pastries are for them?"

Gresa nodded slowly and waved to the children. They looked happy and immediately swarmed over with their younger brothers and sisters.

They looked chaotic, but when they got closer, they lined up politely and took boxes of picnic pastries from Gresa's hand.

It wasn't until she finished posting and received countless sincere thanks that she explained the reason:

"You know the purpose of the Kamin Lake Festival, but do you know the story behind the festival?"

Domi and the other children sat obediently in front of Gresa, like students listening to the teacher telling a story. In fact, they were really listening to the story.

They all shook their heads. This was the first time Domi had even heard of the festival, let alone the story behind it.

"Then let me tell you about it slowly..."

"Hundreds of years ago, the emperor had just defeated the old dynasty and a new country was established. At that time, everything was in ruins and all kinds of materials were scarce. At that time, you could see people starving to death for lack of food while walking on the road. people."

"But this has not happened in this small town. Even the children in the slums, who have no money, no support, and no ability to work, rarely starve to death."

"The reason is a local fisherman in his seventies, his name is Kaming."

“At the beginning of autumn that year, Cuming took fishing tools, got on a boat, and fished in the lake. At that time, there were the most fish and the fattest meat.”

"He worked from morning to night, relying on his sophisticated skills and rich experience, and naturally caught a lot of fish. At first, he sold most of the fish to make money, leaving only a little for himself. But right after On his way home, he found many people fainting from hunger on the roadside, and there were even a few children burying their heads in the garbage pile, just looking for leftovers."

"Holding the cold money bag in his hand, looking at these poor children who were still exuding warmth, he thought like this - he is a lonely old man, what is the use of all this money?"

"So he gave most of the fish he caught the next day to the children who were about to starve to death."

"But the food he distributed alone could not fill the huge gap in food demand, so he worked harder to fish..."

"Autumn passes quickly. Other fishermen make a lot of money by selling fish. At least they don't have to worry about getting through the winter. But Cumming, who is supposed to be the fisherman who earns the most, only earns the first half of the autumn. Small bags of money.”

"Everyone was very puzzled and asked him why he did this."

"He said that he was not able to save his son who died on the battlefield, but he was able to save these poor children who did not want to starve to death."

"People who barely have enough food and clothing ridicule him for overestimating his capabilities. He is the only one. No matter how much fish he catches, he can't save all the children."

"But Cumming was not discouraged. Even in the deep winter when the lake was frozen, he would cut through the thick ice and fish out the fish. Even if the falling snow piled up on his gray hair , and he still persisted, because he knew that if he caught one more fish, he could save one more child's life."

"The children who were under his care also advised him not to do this anymore. Cumming is already over [-] years old. He works so hard and doesn't have enough food or clothing to keep him warm. It's easy for him to get involved."

"But Cumming is still like this..."

"The snow was very heavy that morning. Kaming felt his body was a little hot and his head was dizzy. In his blurred eyes, he seemed to see an aqua-blue fairy rising up onto the ice."

"Others only know that Cumming does not overestimate his own abilities. Only she, the daughter of the lake, who has witnessed everything, knows what a noble spirit Cuming has and what great things he is doing."

"She offers Cumming a deal - offer his life to the leprechaun in exchange for enough fish to keep the children alive through the harsh winter."

"Cumming agreed without hesitation, without any hesitation, because he knew that he would not die soon."

“Finally, on a sunny noon, Cumming died on the frozen lake. When people found him, he was still holding the fishing rod that had saved countless children tightly in his hand, with hills piled beside him. Like a live fish.”

“That day, children from the entire town came to see him off. They were all starved to the skin and bones, but they managed to survive because of Cumming’s love. From now on, they will also survive the harsh winter because of Cumming’s dedication. "

"It was Cumming's death that awakened people's kindness that had been dormant for a long time due to the war. They took over Cuming's fishing rod. In every harvest season from now on, the residents of the town will spontaneously distribute the harvest to the poor and powerless. children and named the lake after him in memory of Cumming.”

“The current summer festival is to wish for a good harvest in the fall so that no more children will go hungry.”

"In order to inherit and carry forward Kaming's spirit, anyone who can spare some effort will make a few extra portions when they come over for a picnic and distribute them to the children in the slums. That was what happened just now."

"So that's it... I have to say, Mr. Cumming is really great." Domi did not hesitate to show his respect.

At any time and in any place, people who can dedicate themselves to others are worthy of respect.

"Yes," Gresa looked at the clear lake, "the broken world is because of people like this who are mending it, and more people survive because of them."

She rubbed the children's furry heads and said softly:

"I hope you can all learn something from this story, so that my story is not in vain."

"Okay, we've almost eaten, why not go boating on the lake."

"Row a boat? Great!" Edward yelled, "Xia Aiwei Rosa, let's have a race. My eldest brother Domi and I will team up to see who can row to the finish line first!"

"Hey, I won't lead you to be such a scumbag!" Ai Wei hated this kind of unreasonable competition.

"No matter what, Domi should be left alone! He is as strong as an animal!" Sia also complained.

Domi shook his head and smiled, then put on his shoes and followed.

Seeing the children playing carefree, Gresa felt very satisfied.

Mrs. Greenville Lucia gently stroked Gresha's back, sat next to her, and watched them play together:

"It seems like childhood was just yesterday. Do you still remember that Carlos and Mitchell were sitting here with us like this, listening to Uncle Ernest (Carlos' father) tell this story? In the blink of an eye, even Our kids are already this old.”

"Yes, time flies so fast. Sometimes, I really don't want this beautiful moment to pass by easily..."

Lake Cumming.

In order to make the festival more interesting, there is actually a specially set up boating competition.

Rowing from the shore to the buoy at the end of the field of view, and then rowing back to the shore counts as one round trip. Under the witness of the referee, the winner will also receive a winning badge issued by the "Lakeside Town" government and a Fresh big fish.

The rewards are not valuable, but they are very meaningful. They are just for celebration.

The teams are also divided.

To be fair, Edward, Argyle, and Rosa form the team of "brothers and sisters work together to break gold".

There are many animals, one person is worth two people, Mi, Xia and Ai Wei, forming a team of "Old enemies have to fight in the same boat in the end".

If there are two teams with magicians, they can use magic and various means during the game, but they cannot attack or hinder the other party. Other than that, there are no restrictions.

When the team of 'brothers and sisters work together to break gold' meets the team of 'old enemies who end up fighting on the same boat', it must be a battle between dragons and tigers...

Chapter 115 Chapter 114 Modified version of dragon boat racing

The boats used in the competition are either professional rowing boats or two ordinary fishing boats that can seat up to four people.

When Domi and his two resentful teammates sat on it, there was still some room left.

This is my first time taking a boat. It was shaky when I first got on, but I got better after getting used to it.

Domi suggested: "I'll sit at the back. Rear-wheel drive is faster on the water."

Children are often very competitive, and Ai Wei really wanted to beat the other person to prove to her mother that girls are not weaker than boys at all!Don't think it's bad to keep having girls.

But the older Sia doesn't have much desire to win. For her, being able to participate in this event with Domi means far more than the victory itself.

So the position became like this - Domi sat at the back, acting as a rear-wheel drive; Shia was in the middle, closer to Domi; Ai Wei was at the front, riding the wind and waves like a spear.

Very good, very impressive, and not trying to make any concessions compared to the next door.

Because of the atmosphere of Edward in the brother-sister team, the morale has always been online. Even if Argyle and Rosa were too embarrassed to talk, he was not embarrassed at all and continued to encourage his teammates:

“Let’s create our slogan!”

"Brothers and sisters work together! Their power is as powerful as gold! Shout with me..."

Soon, the game will begin.

Referee: "The players from both teams are in their respective positions...ready...start!"

As the small fireball flew into the sky and exploded, at the command, the rear-wheel drives of both teams began to rattle.

Domi's 51-point power was there, and the two hands holding the sculls were spinning as fast as a small motor.

On the next track, Edward, who possesses fire magic, sits at the end. Although he does not have the strength of Argyle, he can breathe fire.

I saw him reciting a spell silently, then turned around, rowed the oars in the opposite direction, and sprayed flames from his mouth at the same time. It was this crooked way that gave the ship thrust, which could be called nitrogen acceleration from another world.

Argyle, who was sitting at the front, was not idle either. He used earth magic to create a pyramid-shaped wind barrier and installed it on the bow of the ship, giving the small ship a streamlined bow like a supercar.

The less wind resistance, the faster the speed.

On the other hand, on Domi's side, Shia is an illusion magician and Ai Wei is a purebred wet nurse who can only work on land. The two of them can't help at all. Being able to keep pace with the brother and sister team depends entirely on Domi's unicorn arm.

But a person's power is limited after all, and they were quickly thrown away.

It's not that Domitai is dishonest, it's that he doesn't want to do anything serious in the friendly match.

Otherwise, he can even start the emperor's engine, summon Susanoo, use two big hands to row the oars, and summon the three heroes of Dark Night Villa as labor force. If there is no room on the boat, he can dive under the water and hold the boat up, and then pinch the slime. The propeller is installed at the back and driven by magic into a real small motor.

Using these super-standard means to surpass your opponent only takes a moment, but doing so will lose the original meaning of the game.

Domi enjoyed the game, Shia didn't care, and Ai Wei was the only one who was anxious.

Watching the other party keep moving away from them, even if they rowed with all their strength, it still didn't help.

"Hurry up... hurry up! We will be separated by a lot of distance!"

"Don't worry, don't worry, their magic power will eventually run out."

Since it was a competition, the minimum respect was still required. Even if Shia didn't care whether she could win, she naturally used all her strength.

Seeing Ai Wei who was so anxious, Xia couldn't help but recall what she looked like when she was a child.

Since she was a child, she has become competitive because she is the second daughter in the family. Especially when competing with boys, she always puts herself on the same level as boys.

Just to prove to her parents that there is nothing wrong with girls.

Having given birth to two daughters in a row, in this world, even Mitchell would inevitably have a big head.
