Quadruple split.

Chapter 617 The Revolving Lantern

【Here... what is it... where am I...】

The dazed Harper Ramsay tried to open his eyes, but found that he couldn't feel his body at all. He tried to perceive everything around him, but everything around him didn't give him the slightest feedback, whether his mental strength was good or not. Whether it is the unknowable vision, all that can be sensed is silence and darkness.

No smell, no temperature, no gravity, nothing.

This kind of feeling like a lost ghost has never been seen in Harper Ramsay, who has lived for nearly a thousand years.

Apart from being able to force himself to think, he couldn't do anything...

[Is this the world after death? 】

But the old man who had long since died was not afraid, he just sighed silently in his heart, calmly and indifferently.

However, at this moment, a faint light suddenly appeared in the distance, which surprised Harper who was about to stop thinking.

At the same time, there was a faint noise in the distance, as if many people were talking loudly. Harper tried to hear what those people were saying, but to no avail, but he also couldn't stop those intermittent voices. Noise is transmitted to your ears.

Wait... in the ear?

When he suddenly realized that he could feel his hearing organs, the light in the distance suddenly drew closer, filling his entire field of vision in an instant, and then...

"Hey, Ramsay, it's a boy!"

Harper saw a woman with a blurry face shouted happily into the distance, then gently hugged herself, and while wiping her body with pleasantly warm hot water, she looked at another person outside her field of vision. One person smiled and said, "Ada, thank you for your hard work, the little guy is very healthy."

[Ada? 】

Harper froze for a moment, shocked.

next second...

"Thank you, Bai Shuang, quickly...let me see him."

The voice that he thought he had forgotten sounded very close, and Harper's thoughts suddenly froze completely.

The blurred world in the field of vision shook twice, and a silhouette that seemed to be covered with a layer of mist appeared.

Harper struggled to open his eyes wide. Finally, the person in front of him gradually became clear. It was...

【Mother……】

He just felt as if he had been struck by lightning, and he felt mixed feelings for a moment, and had an extremely strong urge to cry loudly.

"Wow wow wow!!!"

So he really burst into tears.

"Haha, this kid is really energetic~"

"Hey, Bai Shuang, let his father come in, he must want to see his son with his own eyes."

"Hey! Stupid Ramsay, you can come in!"

"Ahh! Ida! I'm glad you're alright, Ida!"

"Hehe, because Baishuang is here..."

"So this little wrinkled monkey is our little Ramsay?"

"Hoarfrost..."

"Ok?"

"Kick him out."

"okay!!"

Amidst the boisterous and familiar babble, Harper Ramsay's world blurred.

……

"Sneaked into the kitchen to make trouble again!"

The mother who was exactly the same as in the memory blocked herself in the corner, squatted down halfway, stared and feigned anger, and said, "Little Harper, what are you going to do!"

Needless to say, of course it is...

"I want to cook!"

That's right, it can't be any other answer, it can only be this one!
"No, you're not cooking, you're cooking the kitchen, dear."

Mother held her forehead and let out a long sigh, then took her hand and went back to the smoky kitchen: "Let me teach you..."

……

A cold light flashed in mid-air, and the wild birds that were too late two seconds ago have evenly landed in the porcelain bowl in front of them, with wings, legs, chest, neck, head, claws, and internal organs neatly scattered On the cooking table, it took a while before the blood oozes belatedly.

"Eight knives in a flash!!"

The flower elf woman sitting not far away exclaimed, looked in shock at her mother standing beside her with her hands behind her back, and said in a tone of disbelief, "How big is little Harper!"

"He's not far off."

Mother smiled reservedly, but even if she didn't look back, she could guess that her eyes were full of relief and pride.

……

"What? You're traveling away from home? A cooking trip?!"

The father, who had always had no idea, widened his eyes and waved his arms helplessly: "But... But aren't you already very good? And your mother still has a lot of skills to teach..."

"I'm not far off, Father."

Harper saluted with what he had arranged secretly, smiled faintly, then glanced at his mother standing beside his father, and muttered in a low voice: "Mom is far behind, her cooking is too rustic."

"What did you say..."

"Well, I think little Harper is quite ambitious."

Mother patted father on the shoulder, with a touch of loneliness on her face that she didn't notice at the time, she smiled and waved her fist at herself: "Come on."

……

"Wow! Your craftsmanship is amazing!"

The human girl with short blond hair held the piece of barbecue in her hand like a treasure, and wiped her saliva with her sleeve in a particularly unladylike way: "Isn't Nikachu super unpalatable?!"

Sitting by the fire, I glanced at the man with disdain: "There are no bad ingredients, only bad cooks."

"Cut! You have the ability to cook a meal with this stone!"

"..."

"Hey, don't you have anything to say, let's say I'm going to catch another Nikachu and come back, will you do it for me?"

"You should be full by now."

"But I'm hungry!"

"Not interested in."

"Then I won't protect you anymore, you can walk out of this wilderness by yourself."

"..."

"Haha, wait for me to come back!"

……

Although her appearance was not outstanding, she was extremely beautiful in his own eyes on this day.

"Stay with me all the time."

He gently caressed her cheek, and whispered in her ear with what he thought was the most magnetic voice: "I will make whatever you want to eat for you."

however……

"Kissing you doesn't mean I'm willing to stay by your side forever."

Curled up in her arms, she blinked slyly.

"Varied……"

"Just because I like you doesn't mean I'm willing to be by your side all the time."

"Gaga, you..."

"Even what happened just now doesn't mean I'm willing to stay by your side forever."

"but I……"

"Shh, don't talk."

She lightly tapped her index finger on her lips, and those eyes that faintly flashed with tears were getting closer and closer...

……

In the fifth year after she left, and also in the third year when she rushed into the permafrost ice field to search for [Steel of Tianhan Meteor] alone for strengthening kitchen utensils, a letter that was a year and a half late was finally delivered to her after many twists and turns.

'Go home when you have time, your mother wants to see you for the last time. '

The short sentence above that didn't look very good-looking, but made my heart that I thought had been numb for a long time reappeared.

tearing pain...

……

Song Zhiyue is icy, the piece of [Sky Cold Meteor Steel] in her arms is icy, mother's monument is icy, but father's eyes are colder than the first three.

From that day on until the day before the old Ramsay passed away, the father and son never spoke a single word.

……

My father passed away in the early hours of my mother's [-]th death day.

In the previous half day, he chatted for a long time with his already famous son.

He didn't mention any topics related to the kitchen, but just casually talked about his childhood anecdotes, talked about his encounter with his mother, and blew a lot of cowhide that can be seen through at a glance. There are no eclectic stories about hundreds of years.

I told him that I fell in love with a girl more than three hundred years ago.

asked the father, and then what?
Then?

Then that girl disappeared without a trace one day, but I still can't forget her and still love her.

The father asked, and then what?

Of course there is no more, after all, the other party is just a human with a lifespan of just over a hundred years.

"Is that so..."

Father was stunned for a long time, then suddenly laughed, and said: "It turns out that the people we loved are no longer alive."

He nodded silently, feeling a heavy sense of guilt in his heart.

but……

"I'm much luckier than you, at least I can always be by her side."

The father lying on the bed smiled, his expression was still as dull as ever, he gently held his hand on the side of the bed, and said in a low voice: "I'm sorry, I'm too naive, I've been angry with you for so many years."

I was the one who was naive.

Just as I was about to say this, I found that my father had slowly closed his eyes.

"Let me rest for a while."

He said.

And never woke up again.

……

After many years, my name has already resounded throughout the entire continent, at least in the chef world of the entire continent. Except for a few old opponents who are not talented enough but work hard enough, no one can compare with me in the field of cooking ,but……

When I just reached middle age, my physical condition and mental state did go from bad to worse. In the end, even the feast I made with my own hands became tasteless.

No, that is the only value of my existence.

I don't know how many times I reminded myself to the mirror.

But such things as miracles really don't happen to a person who has given up deep in his heart.

……

Game time PM19:45
"Grandpa Harper! Grandpa Harper!!"

Harper Ramsay slowly opened his eyes amidst the girl's bewildered call.

Ji Xiaoge, who had already regretted so much that he wanted to cut himself twice, was overjoyed. He hurriedly helped the old tree elf who was too old and out of shape in front of him to the chair, held his hands tightly, and apologized incoherently...

"Sorry! I'm so sorry!"

"I overestimated my craft!"

"Is there anything else that bothers you? Shall I get a pharmacist or a clergyman?"

"I, I, I... I know I was wrong, you can punish me as you want, or you can beat me up, even my father never beat me."

"You... If you don't have the strength, I can beat myself up!"

Ji Xiaoge's intestines are almost regretful, because in the past few months in Tianzhu Mountain, no matter whether it is Fermiguel, Lujiang or Cordoba, they can eat the food she made without changing their expressions, and they have [Homegrown and sold] By your side, plus it was just a very ordinary stir-fried dish, old man Harper also said that no matter how difficult it is to swallow, the stronger the taste, the better, so this girl also I didn't think too much about it.

As a result, Harper, who had just eaten half a piece of shredded pork, fell straight in front of her and twitched on the floor for a full twenty minutes.

"Well, you little girl..."

Harper shook his head vigorously, then raised his hand and scratched his ears before regaining consciousness. The corner of his mouth twitched and looked at Ji Xiaoge: "What did you add to the dish!"

"Small... small peppers, root grass, snow onions, stone beef tendons, white fish fillets..."

Ji Xiaoge lowered his head and reported more than a dozen materials.

Harper's eyes were straightened, and he reacted for a while before he said angrily: "Who are you lying to! How could these ingredients make such unpalatable... unpalatable... uh... um!?"

As he spoke more and more slowly, he was taken aback for a moment, then suddenly pulled the strange substance in front of him, picked up the spoon and stuffed it into his mouth.

……

"Grandpa Harper! Grandpa Harper!!"

In the trembling call of the girl, Harper Ramsay opened his eyes again, with an excited smile on his face, and said loudly: "Ugh!!!"

"Grandpa Harper! Grandpa Harper!!"

Ji Xiaoge immediately poured a glass of drink into the retching opponent's hand, and said in a panic, "Drink some water first."

"vomit!!!"

"Drink water quickly!"

"Gulu Gulu... Kaba! What the hell is this?!"

Harper, who drank half a glass of water, his face turned purple, waved the glass and said angrily to Ji Xiaoge: "Is this for people to drink! Although it is better than the plate just now..."

Ji Xiaoge shrank her neck, and pointed to the teapot on the table timidly: "That... this is the drink you made yourself. I watched you drink this when I first came here."

"Well, well, it's fucking awful."

The old man's expression suddenly became very exciting, and then he casually threw the cup and the teapot on the table out the window, lowered his head and looked at the plate of cold dishes in front of him again, and asked hesitantly after a while. Said: "This thing is really only added with the ingredients you said?"

"Yes, yes! Please advise!!"

Ji Xiaoge nodded immediately. She noticed it when she saw the two legendary kitchen utensils in the kitchen. Heck, the legendary quality kitchen utensils. This old man who lost his sense of taste is definitely not an ordinary person, even Most likely a hidden chef!

This kind of thing may not be discovered by ordinary NPCs at all, but for players, the two legendary items named [Harper Ramsay's Old Frying Spoon] and [Harper Ramsay's Burnt Black Spatula] Kitchenware, enough information is included.

"I can't talk about advice. I have to confirm whether this thing really only adds the things you just said."

Harper glanced at Ji Xiaoge indifferently, and said in a deep voice, "If I find out that you are lying, hum..."

He didn't finish his sentence, but carefully bent down, brought his nose to the dish in front of him, and took a deep breath...
Bang! !

"Grandpa Harper! Grandpa Harper!!"
