C632 A Meal
C632 A Meal
Du Kang could dig up a large amount of gold in the mountains, teleport to the moon, and chat with all the Deep One. If he wanted to, he could even file the planet under his feet into a cube.
But right now, he did not know how to face an ordinary mother.
Du Kang opened his mouth, but he still did not know how to say it.
What could he say if he opened his mouth? He said that your daughter has gone astray, and now she has become a cruel warlord who views human life as grass? Or is it not my fault to apologize to sister-in-law? Is it all because your daughter has a problem with her personality?
There was nothing to explain, because the fault lay with himself.
It was his teachings that led the other party's daughter to the wrong path.
He thought that following his teaching, na would finally understand that hatred was just a trivial matter in life. He thought that through his guidance, na would be able to grow into an indomitable person. He thought that after Na conquered the four corners of the world, she would eventually be able to see through this layer of confusion and return to her normal life.
But everything was just what he thought.
Following his teachings, this genius eventually grew into the kind of person he hated the most.
A general's success would be like ten thousand bones withering away.
"It's Mr. Gondor who has come..."
The fat woman leaning against the door seemed to have waited for a long time. She looked tired, but when she saw Du Kang's figure, she forced herself to be alert.
"How is it? Is Little Anna back?"
"I..."
Du Kang was still unable to say anything.
If he were to forcefully kidnap her, with his strength, he would be able to tie her up and bring her back.
But he couldn't do that.
Unlike when he first met her, that child had long had his own insistence and stance. Recovering the lost land and saving the country, everything that the child said was true and sincere. Even if there were some hidden motives behind it, the incident was still right in the end.
Letting Na do nothing wrong, she just did what she was supposed to do.
Du Kang couldn't forcefully interfere with her freedom just because he had to take care of his face.
In the end, this lesson was only a transaction, making Na not his disciple, and his relationship with her only needed to protect her until she became an adult. And this wasn't something Na had decided on, it was something that Na's father had decided on.
Du Kang had no right to interfere with Rena's decision.
However, he had to bear with this mistake.
"That... give it to me."
After a long silence, Du Kang took out the bag and gave it to Isabella.
He already knew what this simple piece of cloth meant.
"This..."
Isabella looked at the bundle skin in front of her and froze for a moment. Then, she forced a smile.
"That child should have something to do... After all, he has already grown up. It is normal for him to be busy with his own matters."
"That's right..."
Du Kang sighed.
"That child is now a senior official. He has tens of thousands of people under his command. It is not surprising that he cannot come back for a while. But sister-in-law, don't worry. That child will still come back."
"I know, I know..."
Isabella's hands trembled slightly.
"Busy, it's better to be busier. Little Lin Na is doing proper business, I know. As a mother, I can't drag her down..."
"It's not to the extent of that, sister-in-law."
Du Kang hesitated for a moment but still waved his hand.
"It's not as serious as you said. She is living well now. She can't come back now because she's a general. She has to take care of those people under her command..."
"Mm, I know, I know."
Isabella still nodded her head, but her eyes were somewhat blank.
"That child is so busy, she will definitely be hungry... I have to make some food for her and then let her father bring it over. Otherwise, with her temperament, even if she gets tired of playing, she won't know how to go home... "
As she spoke, Isabella turned her head and walked towards the kitchen. She was still muttering words like "make something delicious" and so on.
Looking at Isabella's back as she left, Du Kang held his forehead in pain.
With his eyesight, how could he not see the blow Isabella was suffering right now?
Although he could not read a single word, this village woman actually knew everything.
It was because she knew that she would feel pain and escape. That was why she looked like she had gone mad.
In the kitchen, Isabella was skillfully fiddling with the ingredients and kitchen utensils. Just like when she was young, she prepared a sumptuous meal for her daughter. While cooking, she didn't forget to call out Old Jacques's name, urging her husband to hurry over again and again. She was prepared to send this food to the playful daughter.
But in the end, no one could answer her call.
Her daughter was no longer the child who went home to cry after being bullied in the village.
The wooden swords and swords had turned into steel knives and spears. The child from back then had also stepped onto the battlefield. She fought in all directions, and her name spread far and wide. The father who had urged her to go home time and time again had long buried his bones in his hometown, and the cross-shaped tombstone made of wood was stabbed diagonally beside the grave.
There was no place to say anything.
"Damn it..."
Du Kang, who was smoking his cigarette, could not help but throw the cigarette butt in his hand onto the ground.
He kept cutting it. It was still messy. ... He hated these things the most. Rather than letting him face this kind of situation, he would rather pick whoever he wanted to fight for 300 rounds.
Although he really didn't want to admit it, Du Kang was actually very envious of Rena.
After all, there was at least another home for Rena to return to.
As for him, he was already homeless.
"Forget it."
Du Kang shook his head and walked straight into the kitchen. He reached out a hand to Isabella, who was busy.
"Mr. Gondor?"
Isabella looked at the open palm in front of her and was a little confused.
"When did you come? Jacques did not greet you... Oh right, Jacques went to ask Na to come home for dinner. Please wait for a while. Jacques will be back in a while. Just let him entertain you then..."
Isabella nagged with a blank face, but her hands did not stop. In just a short while, the food box beside her was filled with steaming hot dishes.
"Mr. Gondor, let me tell you, let Na this child not have any bad intentions. She just wants... Hmm? Why is the food still here?"
Isabella looked at the food box beside her and was even more at a loss.
"Did Jacques not bring the food over to Little Rena? Then what should she do if Na is hungry? That child is always easily hungry! No, I have to find her, find... No, she is now a high-ranking official, I can't find..."
"Forget it."
In Isabella's sight, a black hand armor directly picked up the food box and bag skin in front of her.
"Wh..."
Isabella froze for a moment and raised her head.
"Mr. Gondor, this is Little Rena's. If you want to eat it..."
"I don't want to eat it."
Du Kang skillfully packed up the food and sighed.
"I'll go and deliver the food."
