Chapter 200 Dinner by the Lake
That night, Li drove Li Anjie to the Pearl Lake on the edge of the capital to eat some local food.
This is the summer of June, which is the day when summer crabs are on the market. The fat and beautiful summer crabs just fished from the lake do not need to add any seasonings. They are steamed in a steamer. It is just a delicious food, add some seasonings, break the crab shell, and put the crab meat into the mouth. The delicious taste instantly fills the mouth. It is really life. A great enjoyment. Add a salmon caught from the lake, spread spices, and pour light sauce. After simple steaming, the fish is fragrant and mouth-watering.
The two sat on the wooden dining chair prepared by the locals by the lake, eating fat crabs. Occasionally, Li Anjie would eat fork and pick some fish, deliciously in his mouth, enjoying the deliciousness melted in his mouth.
"Is it delicious?"
"Uh-huh!" Li Anjie closed his mouth tightly and nodded hard, as if he didn't want to waste a trace of flavor in his mouth.
"Wait a minute," Li said, left his seat, ran to the car in one breath, took out a bottle of red wine and two goblet from the trunk, walked to the lake, rinsed the glass with the clear lake water, and returned to the table. After pouring red wine for the two, Li raised the glass and said, "First of all, Qing I wish our Li Anjie a safe and smooth graduation. Not only that, you have also become the chief student. What's more surprising is that you still have made surprising progress in spiritual ability. Your teacher Jacob has praised you in front of me more than once. Father, I am really proud of you. Come on, let's touch the cup."
The crisp cup clink sounded by the lake. At this time, the sunset was hanging in the sky. The orange-red light smeared the world with a layer of warm color. With the breeze, the lake gently reflected the golden light, reflecting the transparent goblets and amber wine. Looking at the beautiful father sitting in front of him, holding a glass with a smile, he felt the deliciousness in his mouth and smelled the sweetness of the wine. Before the wine was in his mouth, Li Anjie felt that he was intoxicated.
The breeze swept through the lake, with the sweet taste of the cool water vapor on the lake, and gently brushed the beach. The soft wind woke Li Anjie from his intoxication. Li Anjie was stunned, and then blushed and lowered his head, swallowed a mouthful of red wine. After a while, she coughed again because of this rude way of drinking.
Li laughed. The laughter made Li Anjie's head lower, and his hands were extremely embarrassed to hold the crab shell on the plate.
"You are not young. You shouldn't drink red wine like this. Don't you know?" Li asked, "Have you ever been exposed to this kind of thing in the school?"
"I knew that beer should be drunk," Li Anjie lowered his head and whispered, "I don't know anything else. I never go to the bar at the school gate. I usually have time to study psychology in the library, or study with Master Jacob. Where did the time come from? Pay attention to how to drink wine, and what can you do even if you know it? Am I still unable to drink?"
"Oh, it seems that it's my fault. So forget it. No matter how he drinks the wine, as long as he is happy," Li Xue's daughter's appearance, took a bigger sip of the wine in the glass, and asked with a smile, "So my baby daughter, how does this wine taste?"
"It tastes strange."
"The wine is all like this."
"Can I drink juice?"
"Of course! Waiter?"
After a while, the waiter walked to the table of the two with a bottle of juice and an oil lamp. After putting the juice in front of Li Anjie, the waiter silently hung the oil lamp on their dining table. Only then did Li Anjie notice that an oil lamp had been lit on the shore of the lake. An oil lamp.
"Isn't it beautiful?"
"Ye-huh!" Li Anjie nodded.
"Such a beautiful scene is rare in this universe. We are lucky to live in such a garden-like world. There are also natural lakes, trees, wild animals, natural atmosphere, sweet and fresh air. These things are in many worlds. They are all luxury goods that are difficult to buy with throne coins. Some industrial giants in foundry cities spend a lot of throne coins just to breathe such natural and fresh air that is ubiquitous in the air. On the earth, such a scene disappeared early tens of thousands of years ago. This is a beautiful place, isn't it?"
"Yes," Li Anjie said with heartfelt approval: "It's very beautiful."
"Due to the climate and ecology, the crabs on Zhiyuan Star are mature [mating] in summer, which is called summer crabs. At this time, the crabs are the most fat and tasted the best. It's just right time to eat this at this season, and you can eat more." Li opened the crab shell, picked out the crab meat and put it in the seasoning bowl. In the middle, and then pushed it to Li Anjie, "Although it is not added any seasoning, it is equally delicious to eat it like this, but it tastes good with seasoning, depending on personal preference. Wouldn't it be a pity if such a place and such a beautiful scenery disappear from the universe?
"How come?" Li Anjie bit the crab's foot and said, "Isn't there a father? Will you still be defeated by those orcs?"
"Is this the only world in this universe with the same beautiful scenery as the far-sighted star? Looking up at the stars, there are many people living in their own world among the countless stars. No matter how they live, one thing is the same, that is, they are working hard to live and make themselves better. Speaking of this, Li's words gradually became cold: "But the universe is not kind. In addition to human beings, there are countless creatures. Some of them can communicate, but they can't be trusted, and more can't even communicate. They have no culture, no thought, no mercy, only killing and plunder. He We will destroy all this we have. In order to protect these, in order to survive, countless soldiers in the empire fight in blood every day, and heroes die every day to protect the things we love. Orcs are not our only enemy, and even these orcs, we can't take them lightly, because the orcs we see are far less powerful than their peers. These orcs have not experienced a long war or come up with real weapons worth mentioning. But even so, they have caused us enough trouble.
"My father is going to tell me that although these beautiful scenery is in front of us, it is not easy?"
"Yes, be grateful, and don't let yourself be confused by the beautiful scenery in front of you and sink into it. You should know that we have nothing in this universe. The only thing that really belongs to us is the eternal battle."
Li Anjie shrank his neck and said, "It's like this for the monk Astart, but is it the same for me?"
"Haven't you always wanted to help me?"
"Yes, I've always wanted to help my father, but..."
"But you're not ready to bear the heavy burden, are you?"
Li Anjie was slamed and then denied it loudly, "Of course not, I've been ready for a long time!" I'm not afraid at all!"
"Of course, you won't be afraid. You are my daughter. My Anjie, I'm not forcing you. I'm just telling you that sooner or later, you will bear this burden, you will protect such a beautiful scenery, and you will protect these people who live an ordinary life in countless worlds. Because you have the ability, because you are my daughter, this day is bound to come, and before that, I hope you are ready. Speaking of this, Li looked directly into Li Anjie's eyes. Those eyes seemed to see through all the disguises and easily saw the depths of Li Anjie's heart. The girl heard his father's question. The words were so serious, just like a priest on the walkway in the church. The father asked, "Li Anjie, are you really ready? ? "
"I," Li Anjie took a deep breath, but the answer that should have been blurted out was stuck in his throat, and finally turned into an angry sigh: "I, I don't know, I don't know if I'm ready now."
"It doesn't have to be now, it won't be now," Li touched Li Anjie's head and said, "It won't be tomorrow, and of course it won't be recent. You still have time to enjoy life, experience it carefully, enjoy it, and write down these rare happy days. Be prepared. When that day comes, be brave Don't be afraid to bear the burden. You will not be the only one to bear the burden, and your father and I will be with you.
"Will I fight side by side with my father at that time?"
"I will. Of course, it won't be on all the battlefields. Although you are my daughter, you are also an excellent psionic. You are not a child. You can be alone."
"Of course! Father, don't worry, I will become very powerful, powerful enough to protect you!" With this, Li Anjie rubbed her nose proudly, as if she had stood on the battlefield and in front of her father, protecting her father with her strength.
The last trace of the sunset shone on the lake. After a while, the last trace of sunlight disappeared on the lake, and the whole earth fell into darkness. The stars gradually flashed in the sky. By the lake, more horse lights were lit up, covering the camp in faint lights. In the shadow of fire and flashing, people enjoy delicious food in a low voice, talk in a low voice, and laugh softly. In the distance, the bright light of the city illuminates the dark night sky, and the distance is like an untouchable dream.
