Before the horizon last multi-colored sunlight dissipates, Duncan saw Antique Store that familiar facade. 在天边最后一线霞光消散之前,邓肯见到了古董店那熟悉的门面。 Path both sides gas street light has lightened, the slightly yellowing light illuminated the wall surface that the signboard and ash before gate threw, in the front door both sides display windows is shining the light, obviously, Nina has gone home —— she to turn on the first floor lamp, is waiting for Duncan to come back. 道路两旁的瓦斯路灯早已点亮,略微泛黄的灯光照亮了门前的招牌与灰扑扑的墙面,大门两侧的橱窗中正亮着灯光,显然,妮娜早已回家——她打开了一楼的灯,正等着邓肯回来。 Strict, from the Duncan angle of view looked that oneself and Nina actually just just knew, but why does not know, when seeing the first floor light, in his heart felt one type unexpectedly inexplicably...... apology. 严格来讲,从邓肯的视角看自己与妮娜其实只不过刚刚认识,但不知为何,在看到一楼的灯光时,他心中竟感觉到了一种莫名的……歉意。 This apology is because oneself does go out does not turn over to? 这歉意是因为自己出门迟迟不归么？ Duncan takes a step to go forward, opens the Antique Store front door, is hanging resounds in the entrance bell clearly, the next second, he then hears rapid sound of footsteps to transmit from the staircase direction. 邓肯迈步上前,推开古董店的大门,悬挂在门口的铃铛清脆鸣响,下一秒,他便听到一阵急促的脚步声从楼梯方向传来。 Put on girl as if gust of simple long skirt to run from the building. 穿着朴素长裙的女孩仿佛一阵风般从楼上跑了下来。 „Uncle Duncan!” Nina stops in the staircase, surprisedly and looks to appear in entrance Duncan joyfully, in the look somewhat is accidental/surprised, „I also think you today......” “邓肯叔叔！”妮娜在楼梯上停下,惊讶又喜悦地看着出现在门口的邓肯,眼神中还有些意外,“我还以为你今天又……” „Went to the city to transfer the revolutions, without attention it quick is black,” Duncan shook the head, „was sorry, actually I also want to go to the cross block to take you to be on vacation from school, afterward met an accident/surprise.” “去城里转了转,没注意天已经快黑了,”邓肯摇摇头,“抱歉,其实我本来还想去十字街区接你放学来着,后来遇上点意外。” „Did you go to the cross block?” Nina surprisedly and looks at Duncan puzzled, she is sizing up up and down, seemed confirming whether the uncle drinks outside, or is low-spirited because of the medicine function, „takes me...... to be on vacation from school?” “您去十字街区了？”妮娜惊讶又困惑地看着邓肯,她上下打量着,仿佛在确认叔叔是否又在外面喝了酒,或者正因为药物作用而精神不振,“接我……放学？” Uncle Duncan displayed strange and familiar side, this made Nina not know that should make what response. 邓肯叔叔又表现出了陌生又熟悉的一面,这让妮娜又不知道该作何反应了。 „Somewhat is curious you now in the situation in school,” Duncan spoke thoughtlessly saying that „did not say this, you later did not need to worry that I went out drink or go ’ to fool around together with ‚ friend, if I came back late, was because managed the proper business, knew?” “只是有些好奇你现在在学校的情况罢了,”邓肯随口说道,“不说这个了,你以后不用担心我出门喝酒或者去跟‘朋友’厮混,如果我回来晚了,也是因为去办正事,知道了么？” Nina looks dumbfounded Uncle Duncan enters the room to close the door, looks at the opposite party step steady spirit abundant manner, nods subconsciously. 妮娜一愣一愣地看着邓肯叔叔进屋关门,看着对方步履稳健精神充沛的神态,下意识地点了点头。 „Time not early,” Duncan moves toward to the second floor staircase while to standing said in stairway Nina, „ate meal?” “时间不早了,”邓肯一边走向通往二楼的楼梯一边对站在楼梯口的妮娜说道,“吃饭了么？” „...... Did not have,” probably is because still did not adapt to the uncle present change, when Nina reply always seems somewhat scruple, „I come back saw that you are not at home, does not know that you also do come back tonight,...... has not prepared food. However I bought some bread, originally is the plan......” “还……没有,”大概是因为仍然不适应叔叔如今的变化,妮娜回答时总显得有些迟疑,“我回来的时候看到你不在家,也不知道你今晚还回不回来,就……还没做饭。不过我买了些面包,本来是打算……” „Only eats the bread insufficient nutrition, walks, the kitchen a little good thing,” Duncan to be just about to step the stair, he turn head smiles to Nina, „today I go to the kitchen.” “只吃面包不够营养,走,厨房有点好东西,”邓肯正要踏上台阶,他回头对妮娜笑了笑,“今天我下厨。” Does the uncle want to go to the kitchen?! 叔叔要下厨？！ Nina as if heard what fantasy story, but has not waited to ask, she noticed that Uncle Duncan has walked in big strides upwardly, therefore has to hurry to follow, at the same time, her vision also noticed to stop Ai on Duncan shoulder safely, somewhat was immediately surprised: „Uncle, this pigeon continuously with you in the same place?” 妮娜仿佛听到了什么天方夜谭,但还不等发问,她就看到邓肯叔叔已经大踏步地向上走去,于是只好赶紧跟上,与此同时,她的目光也注意到了正稳稳当当停在邓肯肩膀上的艾伊,顿时有些惊讶:“叔叔,这只鸽子一直跟你在一起？” „Right, it also very sticks the person,” Duncan spoke thoughtlessly saying that „was right, I gave it the giving a name character, called Ai.” “对啊,它还挺粘人的,”邓肯随口说道,“啊对了,我给它起了个名字,叫艾伊。” „Ai?...... The good strange name......” Nina flexure sent as a pigeon difficultly, she has followed on to second floor, looks that Uncle Duncan really walks toward the kitchen, she cannot bear ask finally, „what did you buy?” “艾伊？作为一只鸽子……好奇怪的名字……”妮娜挠了挠头发,她已经跟着上到二楼,看着邓肯叔叔真的向厨房走去,她终于忍不住问道,“您买什么了吗？” „Actually is only a salt fish does,” Duncan found from the kitchen cabinet by the salt fish that oneself puts, carried this hard food to shake shaking to Nina, the expression was quite self-satisfied, „do not look to be much longer, being used to boil the soup flavor to be good.” “其实只是个咸鱼干,”邓肯从厨房柜子里找到了被自己放起来的咸鱼,拎着这根硬邦邦的食材对妮娜晃了晃,表情颇为得意,“别看长得不怎么样,用来煮汤味道还挺好的。” „Fish?!” Nina opened the eye surprisedly, „what day today is? The fish is so expensive, usually isn't......?” “鱼？！”妮娜惊讶地睁大了眼睛,“今天是什么日子么？鱼那么贵,平常不是都……啊？” She saw clearly the fish in Duncan to do finally, this gadget of undistinguished appearance made the girl very puzzled, she blinked the eye to look at for quite a while: „What fish is this? How haven't I seen?” 她终于看清了邓肯手里的鱼干,这其貌不扬的玩意儿让女孩十分困惑,她眨巴着眼睛看了半天:“这是什么鱼？我怎么没见过？” Duncan knows that Nina can be this response. 邓肯就知道妮娜会是这个反应。 The resident in City-State is sees certainly —— Boundless Sea of fish is very freely dangerous, in the deep sea is also called „heir” dangerous gadget in threat human security, but not all sea areas and abyssal region equally strange extreme, because god asylum as well as City-State defense setup, in approaching the City-State epicontinental sea as well as a few in route that suffers the god graciousness, the sea meets the relative security, but these regions are the City-State civilization are often providing the valuable resources. 城邦中的居民当然是见过鱼的——尽管无垠海很危险,深海中还有被称作“子嗣”的危险玩意儿在威胁人类安全,但并非所有海域都和深海地区一样诡异极端,由于众神庇护以及城邦本身的防御体制,在靠近城邦的浅海以及少数蒙受神恩的航线上,海洋会相对安全一点,而这些区域往往为城邦文明提供着宝贵的资源。 People from greater coasting area collection marine product, mineral, in the route that in the gods shelter hunts for the whale to have the fish of enormous commercial value, maintains the City-State survival with these things, as well as support industrial development. 人们从近海区域采集海产,矿物,在众神庇护的航线上捕猎鲸鱼等具备极大工业价值的鱼类,用这些东西维持城邦生存,以及支撑工业发展。 Under this premise, „fisherman” this occupation will certainly also exist. 在这一前提下,“渔民”这种职业当然也会存在。 However the sea of this world eventually not like Earth, even the security sea area, is still „security that” and abysmal region compares, therefore in this world, even if the inshore fishing, is one extreme specialized and thrilling even needs to test the transcendent knowledge and fight skillful matter. 不过这个世界的海洋终究不像地球,即便是安全海域,也是和深海区相比的“安全”,因此在这个世界哪怕是近海捕捞,也是一件极端专业、惊险甚至需要考验超凡知识和战斗技巧的事情。 The fish, to the life the person in City-State is known actually the expensive food. 鱼,对生活在城邦中的人而言是一种已知却又昂贵的食材。 Even if their side is the sea, even if in the sea has the countless fish. 哪怕他们身边就是海,哪怕海中有数不尽的鱼。 Nina many years has not eaten the fish —— , even before the uncle falls ill, her such civilians do not have many opportunities to notice that the fish was carried the table. 妮娜已经很多年没有吃过鱼了——哪怕是在叔叔生病之前,她这样的平民也没多少机会看到鱼被端上餐桌。 In addition the common fish is so rare and precious, do not raise presenting from deep sea. 寻常的鱼尚且如此珍稀,就更不要提来自深海的馈赠了。 Duncan even suspected that oneself is appears in the deep sea fish that Vanished takes the hook for the first time in Pland City-State within the boundaries —— let alone Nina this civilians miss, perhaps City-State Magistrate and Church high rank Priest do not have the opportunity to taste this fresh. 邓肯甚至怀疑自己在失乡号上钓到的这种深海鱼是第一次出现在普兰德城邦境内——别说妮娜这个平民姑娘,恐怕就连城邦的执政官和教会的高阶神官们也没机会尝这个鲜。 Nina has the luck of having good things to eat today. 妮娜今天有口福了。 „Do not care is what variety, you wait to eat well.” Duncan knows that something could not explain, then had not explained simply, he turns around to return to the kitchen, starts to prepare today's dinner. “就别在意是什么品种了,你等着吃就好。”邓肯知道有些事情解释不清,便干脆没有解释,他转身回到厨房,开始准备今天的晚餐。 This strange fish big, even after the air-drying , the size is very considerable, being used to make the soup a time is not able to finish eating, therefore he was divided into two salt fish dry/does, prepared first with some fish head —— remaining can after the string put on continue to hang in the cabinet, further after the air-drying, perhaps will be instead tastier. 这怪鱼个头不小,哪怕风干之后尺寸都很可观,用来做汤的话一次是吃不完的,所以他把咸鱼干分成两段,准备先用鱼头部分——剩下的可以用绳子穿起来之后继续吊在橱柜里,进一步风干之后或许反而会更具风味。 The uncle really start prepared food. 叔叔真的开始做饭了。 Looks that the familiar form bustles about in the kitchen, Nina thought that to having a dream to be the same. 看着熟悉的身影在厨房中忙碌起来,妮娜觉得跟做梦一样。 Her actually point does not care about that strange fish that the uncle takes what's the matter, she does not even care about today's dinner. 她其实一点都不在意叔叔拿出来的那条怪鱼是怎么回事,她甚至根本不在意今天的晚饭。 Compared with the things of these minor details, uncle the change is strangest , the matter that is worth her paying attention to well. 和这些细枝末节的东西比起来,叔叔身上发生的变化才是最古怪,又最值得她好好关注的事情。 The sound of blade and block hit conveys, the gas stove in hissing makes noise, the bottom soup in pot gurgle gurgle braves the bubble. 刀与砧板撞击的声音传来,瓦斯灶在嘶嘶作响,锅中的底汤咕嘟咕嘟冒着泡泡。 Nina is somewhat absent-minded, haven't her how many years seen such scene? 妮娜有些恍惚,她几年不曾见到这样的景象了？ On her face reveals a hesitation, a moment later as if sets firm resolve suddenly, was saying to the busy back in the kitchen entrance: „Uncle, tomorrow...... Mr. Morris must come the family visit.” 她脸上露出一丝犹豫,片刻之后才仿佛突然下定了决心,在厨房门口对着里面忙碌的背影说道:“叔叔,明天……莫里斯先生要来家访。” „Family visit?” Duncan that is busy preparing food hears this saying to stare immediately, „Mr. Morris...... your history teacher?” “家访？”正忙着做饭的邓肯听到这话顿时一愣,“莫里斯先生……你那位历史老师？” Nina nods: „Yes.” 妮娜点点头:“是的。” „Will the teacher in that school also make the family visit unexpectedly?” In fish steak investment pot that Duncan will process, puts in the cutting tool the basin while turn head looked at Nina one surprisedly, „I also think that this is Upper District these schools can have ‚characteristics’. The school...... truly does not have this custom,” Nina is paying attention to the Duncan attitude while said carefully, „, but Venerable Morris is quite special, he...... pays attention to the student especially.” “那座学校的老师竟然还会做家访？”邓肯将处理好的鱼块投入锅内,一边将刀具放到水池中一边惊讶地回头看了妮娜一眼,“我还以为这是上城区那些学校才会有的‘特色’。学校……确实没这个规矩,”妮娜一边关注着邓肯的态度一边小心说道,“但莫里斯老先生比较特殊,他……格外关注学生。” Duncan has not spoken suddenly. 邓肯一时间没有说话。 Matter went beyond his expectation slightly. 事情稍微超出了他的预料。 He has not thought of oneself this „Captain Duncan” , in City-State launches the activity will also meet this situation to need to deal with unexpectedly suddenly! 他可没想到自己这个“邓肯船长”在城邦里展开活动的时候竟还会突然遇上这种情况需要应付！ He had considered deals with Church, had considered deals with the public security officer, even had considered deals with —— the City-State navy and police army, no matter wants, in his plan filled the spirit fire, sword and Vanished more than 100 side side artillery. 他考虑过跟教会打交道,考虑过跟治安官打交道,甚至考虑过跟城邦海军以及军警部队打交道——不管愿不愿意,他的预案里充满了灵火、刀剑与失乡号的一百多门侧舷炮。 But he consideration in the own plan cannot present one to teach the old man of history in the public school. 但他从没在自己的预案里考虑会出现一个在公立学校里教历史的老头。 This is Reality always so how unexpected? 这现实怎么就总这么出人意料呢？ „Uncle?” Nina looked that Duncan had not responded for a very long time, cannot help but a little worried, „you don't want? I can him tell...... actually me who Venerable Morris told today, I told him your body to be not quite good, therefore this time did not have the means to accept the family visit, he had not said anything at that time......” “叔叔？”妮娜看邓肯久久没有反应,不由得有点担忧,“您是不愿意么？那我可以跟莫里斯老先生说的……其实今天我就跟他说了,我告诉他您的身体不太好,所以这次也没办法接受家访,他当时没说什么……” Duncan looks at the Nina this little intense response, in the heart exudes the train of thought. 邓肯看着妮娜这有点紧张的反应,心中泛起思绪。 That Venerable Morris evidently is not first request that makes the family visit. 那位莫里斯老先生看样子已经不是第一次做出家访的要求。 How many times then Nina did reject by the similar reason? 那么妮娜又以同样的理由拒绝了多少次呢？ „...... He teaches the history, right?” Duncan also asked suddenly. “……他是教历史的,对吧？”邓肯突然又问了一遍。 Although does not know why the uncle also asked this issue, Nina nods: „Right.” 虽然不知道叔叔为什么又问这个问题,妮娜还是点点头:“对啊。” „Good, I happen to deal with the historical sphere professional,” Duncan smiled, „when will he come tomorrow?” “挺好的,我正好想跟历史领域的专业人士打打交道,”邓肯笑了起来,“他明天什么时候过来？”
