White Moonlight who woke up and became a paranoid wizard

Chapter 168

The old man thought so.

Alkes couldn't help but be stunned. He chewed the pastry called moon cake in his mouth blankly.

That pastry is very fragrant and sweet.

It was like a warm current filling Alkes's heart.

It turns out that "relatives" still has this meaning?
Alkes also lived alone for most of his life, living in seclusion in the mountains all year round.

Perhaps the person who has had the most contact with him in this life is this old man.

Alkes smiled, imitating the old man's example, and stuffed a piece of moon cake into his mouth: "I didn't expect that your cooking skills are quite good~ Isn't it, my family?"

Half teasingly, Alkes curled his lips teasingly.

Tonight, the full moon seems to be getting brighter.

The old man also chewed the moon cake, and rubbed the residue on the corner of his lips with his old fingertips. The old man seemed to suddenly think of something, and smiled slyly: "I didn't make that, I went out to buy it early in the morning. …”

When did he, a killer in the kitchen, have such cooking skills?

Regardless of whether I bought it or not, the thought is cherished enough.

The two old men sat side by side on the stone steps, slightly raising their heads and looking at the bright moon.

Alkes suddenly became interested and clicked on the words engraved on the mooncakes.

"Hey, old man, what do these words mean?"

Alkes looked at the old man curiously, and the old man patiently explained to him: "These four words are called 'flowers are full and the moon is full'..."

"The flowers...are...the moon...is round?" Alkes repeated blankly.

His retroflexion was very strong, and his speech was a little slurred, which was very inconsistent.

The old man took the trouble to correct his pronunciation seriously.

Alkes finally said those words correctly. After a pause, Alkes cast curious eyes towards the old man again: "Then what do these four words mean?"

Both flowers and moon?
The old man said that he didn't quite understand it. He rested his head in his hand, thought hard for a while, and finally came to a firm conclusion: "The flowers are very beautiful, and the moon is very round!"

Alkes: "???" What is all this?
Did he just listen to nonsense?

Seeing that Alkes was still looking at him blankly, the old man couldn't help but think seriously for a while, and added: "It's like this day of the Mid-Autumn Festival, when the bright moon is in the sky, the youth is just right, and the family is reunited together. , sighing that the years are like water, counting every bit of the experiences we have had together... I hope that we can have this day every year, and we can have this day every year."

It turns out that this is what it means to spend a good time and have a full moon?
Alex nodded blankly.

The old man knew the language of Alkes and his country, and many of his words were translated literally and explained to Alkes.

The language of Arkes and his country is so straightforward without any rhetoric that it loses much of its beauty.

The old man scratched his head, and finally spread his hands helplessly: "That's pretty much what it means."

His explanation was enough.

The two old men seemed careless on the surface and liked to tease each other, but in their hearts they wanted to rely on each other more than anyone else.

After all, soulmates are hard to find.

Especially the relationship where family members are not better than family members.

Alkes and the old man were silent for a while, and no one spoke first, breaking the sudden silence.

I don't know how long it took, Alks suddenly opened his lips sadly: "Hey, stinky old man, do you think we will be like tonight in the future?" That's it, let go of all the worries in the weekdays, and do nothing Talking, not thinking about anything, just eating moon cakes and admiring the moon out of boredom.

It is obviously a very boring thing, but because the person next to you is the person you care about the most, you will feel that whatever you do will be full of fun.

The old man stuffed another piece of moon cake into his mouth, chewed it, and lightly opened his lips: "I will definitely do it."

Just like the good wishes of "Happy flowers and full moon"——

Every year has today, every year has today.
-
"Mr. Alkes!"

"Mr. Alkes!!"

"Go back to God!"

…………

The shouts from the people around him brought back Alkes's thoughts.

Alkes came back to his senses in a daze, looked at Feike's pretty little face, and rubbed the tip of his nose uncomfortably: "Child, what's wrong?"

"Mr. Alkes..." Feike scratched his head in embarrassment. The pastries called mooncakes were so fragrant. Feike swallowed his saliva greedily, "Can we buy some mooncakes?"

Alkes looked at Feike blankly, as if he could see some of the old man's expression through the child's face.

Alkes nodded, quirked his eyebrows, and the wrinkles at the end of his eyes were deep: "Of course, it is an annual festival after all."

Alkes and Feike bought moon cakes, and the old and the young sat on the stone steps outside the market.

Alex's teeth have become loose with age, and he is not particularly interested in these sweet pastries.

Holding a piece of pastry with his old fingers, he tilted his head and looked at Feike who was sitting next to him. When he saw the child holding the mooncake in his hands and eating it happily, Alkes couldn't help but smile and narrowed his eyes. Narrow your eyes.

Wiping away the residue from the corner of Feike's lips with his fingertips, Alkes said in a funny way: "Is it so delicious? You are really sloppy after eating."

Fick smiled brightly at Alks, his soft cheeks were stuffed with food: "Mr. Alks won't eat it? It's delicious, my mooncake tastes like... Seems to be……"

Feike has just learned several foreign languages.

After thinking about it, Feike suddenly forgot how to say that word.

Alex added in a funny way: "It tastes like five kernels."

"Yes! It seems to be called Wu...Ren..."

Feike worked hard to straighten the tip of his tongue and repeated what Alkes said.

It was just the first time for him to learn the language of this country, and the words he spoke in turtle mouth were very funny.

Fei could see that the smile in Alkes's eyes was getting stronger and stronger, and she scratched her head in embarrassment: "Mr. Alkes, is my pronunciation not very standard?"

It is indeed very non-standard.

After all, it is my first time to learn the language of this country.

But Alkes wasn't laughing at Fiko, Alkes was just recalling his unforgettable experience through Fiko.

What the old man told him——

"Every year has today, and every year has today."

But what about the old man?

Where is he now?

Is it like him, also in a corner of a certain place, bought sweet mooncakes, waiting for the bright moon hanging on the treetops, waiting for the relaxing moon-watching time, and then began to miss the experience with him?

Alkes stared at the mooncake in his hand. The more he thought about it, the more his mind became immersed in the past, and the deeper it got.

Alkes had a sudden idea, turned the mooncake over and took a look at the words engraved on it.

After Alkes saw those four words clearly, Alkes suddenly curled up his lips and smiled silently——

exactly.

The mooncake in his hand has what is written on it: "Happy Flowers and Full Moon".
-
Alkes waited until Feike finished the piece of mooncake in his hand, and then handed his own mooncake to him.

"Eat."

Feike reached out and took it blankly: "Mr. Alkes, don't you want to eat it?"

Although Feike likes the taste of mooncakes very much, he can't be too greedy.

Alkes silently pointed to his "overwhelmed" teeth, and Feike couldn't help but laugh out loud.

This mooncake is indeed quite hard.

Feike quickly ate up the other piece of mooncake, and then rubbed his belly with satisfaction: "Mr. Alkes, the market here is so lively, can we take a stroll?"

Setting foot in a foreign country for the first time.

Feike is full of curiosity about everything here.

Alkes could only sigh: "Okay."

Alkes and Feike, old and young, crowded into the crowded market again.

It was probably the annual festival, and there was a peaceful and joyful atmosphere in the market.

There are young lovers who express their love for each other, and there are also a big family who are living happily...

Alkes and Feike were caught in the middle and had no choice but to follow the dense flow of people.

"Mr. Alkes, what is that red, round thing?" Feike curiously pointed to the sticks stuck on the wooden stakes. The bloody red fruits on them were coated with a layer of sugar. , I can’t help but drool just by looking at it, it will definitely be sour and sweet.

Alkes looked at Feike's fingertips and patiently explained: "That's a candy ball."

"Candy balls?" Feike blinked, "Aren't they delicious?"

Alkes had eaten this stuff before, and the old man had given it to him. Alkes's teeth were almost sore at that time.

Alkes opened his lips hesitantly: "Maybe... the taste will be different from what you imagined."

"Ah?" Feike tilted his head blankly. Although he had doubts, Feike still took out a small piece of silver and bought a bunch of red things called sugar balls. Because Alkes didn't eat them, so Feike stopped being polite to him and took a big bite of the candy ball...

"...Bah, bah, bah!"

After biting through the sweet sugar coating, you will find a sour ball with sour scum!

The sour and almost bitter taste filled Feike's taste buds, and Feike felt that his teeth were about to get sore!

It turns out that this little thing looks so tempting, but tastes very sour.

Feike's little face, which was still slightly joyful just now, fell instantly.

"Mr. Alkes...Am I being fooled?" Feike said aggrievedly.

Arkes saw Feike's sudden change in appearance and burst out laughing: "Do you know why I don't eat this weird thing?"

At that time, Alkes was just like Feco, and he was also full of expectations.

But Alkes's taste buds told him that he had made a very wrong decision!

But think about it now.

That old man must like eating sour food very much.

In my memory, the old man would always eat up all the candy balls that Alkes wasted.

Even until the end of the meal, the old man didn't even frown and remained calm as usual.

You can even see a bit of fondness in his expression.

You must like eating sour food, right?
Alex sighed.

I don't know if it was today's special holiday, but Alkes always started to recall every detail of the time when he and the old man once lived under the same roof.

It seems that every experience becomes extra precious.

Alkes was still reminiscing nostalgically. He raised his eyes again and saw Feike taking off the string of candy balls from the stick and carefully putting them into the small cloth bag he carried with him.

"What are you doing?" Alkes couldn't help but asked curiously.

Feike heard the sound and smiled warmly at Alkes: "I want to put it back and give Eric a taste."

This is really...

When he ate his favorite moon cake just now, this little thing never thought of "put it back and give it to Eric to have a taste."

Now when I encounter something I don’t like to eat, I actually think of Eric.

I dare you, Eric, that high and mighty prince, is he the trash can that handles this little thing’s leftovers?

Alex felt sorry for Eric for no reason.

Moreover, Alkes glanced at Feike's simple movements. After a long pause, Alkes still kindly reminded him in a low voice: "Our journey this time is expected to take a long time. Don't you be afraid that after taking it back, Eric Will it upset your stomach?"

Just because of Eric's temperament.

Anyone with a discerning eye can see how much he loves and cares about Feike.

If only Eric knew that it was Feike who "didn't want to eat it" and traveled across the ocean to "deliberately" bring it back for him to eat.

Then Eric would definitely eat them all without thinking twice!
Alkes could even imagine what it looked like for the aloof prince to have diarrhea and a painful expression on his face.

After Feike looked at Alkes blankly for a few times, he patted his forehead blankly: "Yes."

Feike turned the small cloth bag he carried with him upside down. The red fruits inside rushed out of the bag and fell to the ground, breaking into several pieces...

Alex couldn't bear to look at it.

If Eric knew that between "bringing this sour fruit back to him to eat" and "throwing it away without mercy", Feike immediately chose the former, I'm afraid it would be a little different. Are you moved?
At least this little thing is thinking of him...

Alkes sighed helplessly and shook his head. Alkes was still following Feike closely.

Alkes was afraid that if he wasn't careful, the little thing would get lost in the dense crowd.

In that case, he wouldn't know how to give Eric an explanation.

Fei didn't pay too much attention, and her clear eyes were still looking around.

Soon, another stall attracted Feike's attention.

The small stall was not big, but it was filled with all kinds of red ropes.

The woven red rope is very delicate, and between the two beads on the left and right is a series of complex buckles.

Feike picked up a red string with great interest and looked at it carefully. There were delicate carvings on the beads.
