A farming master in Stardew Valley

Chapter 968 Sorrow
Facing his grandfather’s expectant gaze, Leon couldn’t help but raised the corners of his mouth: “No, you have been single all your life.”

"Impossible, absolutely impossible. If I never get married in my life, then where did you come from?" Barron looked at Leon in disbelief and complained.

"I picked it up." Leon answered truthfully.

"No, no, no, I've been single my whole life. This isn't right. This future is too scary. I don't believe you anymore. This is definitely a scam. It has to be."

Barron shook his head frantically to deny what he heard, but the more he kept saying it, the more broken his expression became, and he finally pulled out the broadsword that was stuck in the ground.

"You've got to be kidding me."

"My condolences." Leon stepped forward and patted Barron on the shoulder to comfort him.

Barron looked at Lyon sadly, then looked at the sky. It took him a long time to recover from the blow. He stared at Lyon for a long time, and suddenly smiled.

"Since you are my future grandson, you should call me grandpa first."

"Grandpa." Leon called out without hesitation.

Even though the grandfather in front of me is still very young, he is still a grandfather, and this kindness cannot be erased by time.

"Forget it, you should just call me Barron for now. After all, that's the future, and you look about the same age as me now. I really can't stand someone my age calling me that."

Barron couldn't stand Lyon's frankness. Before, he wanted to take advantage of Lyon with the mentality of "you make me sad, I won't let you have an easy time either", but when he saw Lyon's serious look and sincere cry, Barron felt very annoyed.

"Um, is that really okay?"

"Please forget the name Grandpa for a moment."

Barron reminded very seriously.

"Okay, Mr. Barron." Leon had no choice but to compromise, but it felt a bit weird to just call out the name, so he added "Mr."

"Forget it, just call him Mr., at least it sounds better than grandpa, and you can accept it." Barron wanted to correct Lyon's honorific, but considering that he couldn't just consider his own feelings, he finally agreed to call him that.

"But I never thought I'd be able to meet my grandson from the future right now. This is incredible. How did you manage to travel through time and arrive at this point in time? I saw you looked dazed when you first arrived. Was it an accident, or was you the result of a plot?"

After accepting Leon's identity, Barron felt an indescribable intimacy with this young man he had just met, and his attitude softened.

"It was an accident. I don't really know the details. I just remember that before I came here, I was decorating the farm with my girlfriend, and then I appeared here." Leon explained helplessly.

"You have a girlfriend? That's great. Is she from Pelican Town? Whose family is she from? Maybe I know her?" Without delving into the reason why Lyon came, Barron was very interested in the girlfriend that Lyon mentioned.

"Pierre's family, her mother's name is Caroline, but I'm not sure if they are born now. After all, you are too young now." Leon replied.

"Then they probably haven't been born yet." Barron nodded, recalling that he didn't know anyone with those two names. Then, a sudden thought struck him, and he inquired again. "But you should know some elderly people in town, right? Could you tell me two names?"

"Well, the oldest people I know are probably Grandma Evelyn and Grandpa George, as well as Grandpa Linus and Rasmodes. I just don't know if you know them now." Leon gave the answer.

"Evelyn and George, but if Evelyn hears you call her grandma now, she will definitely hit you with her watering can." Barron reminded Leon with a smile, "But I really don't know who Linus is, and I haven't heard of Rasmodes either. Did they move to the town later?"

"I don't know either. They didn't tell me when they met you, but Lasmodes should be living in Stardew Valley now, but not in Pelican Town, but in the Mage Tower in Coal Forest." Leon explained with a shrug.

"Oh? There are people living in that tower? I thought it was some ancient ruins that had been abandoned for a long time. After all, it looks too dilapidated, and it is surrounded by thorns and swamps, which makes me have no desire to go in and explore." Barron complained in surprise.

"It should be a disguise. He has been living in the Mage Tower, but he is unwilling to contact ordinary people because he is a powerful magician. By the way, Abigail is his granddaughter. Her grandmother is Talia, you should know her." Leon introduced.

"Talia, she is a beautiful girl, but a little too active. She is not my type. I didn't expect her granddaughter to be with you. Then this girl named Abigail must be a beautiful girl as well." Barron became excited when he heard a familiar name again.

"She is very pretty." Leon couldn't help laughing when he said that. This made Barron, who noticed the change in his expression, feel quite blocked in his heart, because he smelled the sour smell of love. This would not have made him have any thoughts, but the premise of all this was based on the fact that he knew that he would be single for the rest of his life.

But after a moment, he felt relieved, after all, the one showing off their love was his future grandson.

"Then your disappearance must have made her very worried, so do you have any way to return to the future now?"

After chatting and confirming a lot of things, Barron began to care about Lyon's current situation.

"No, so I need your help, grandpa." Leon decisively chose to cling to his thigh.

"Well, but don't call me grandpa, we agreed on that." Barron nodded, and then emphasized the issue of address to Leon again.

"Okay, Mr. Barron." Leon immediately changed his tone.

"However, I don't know much about time travel. I've only come across similar cases during my adventures, so I might need to ask some friends for help. This will take a lot of time, so until then, you can only wait quietly for the results. However, I can't stay here, as there's only a single bed in the room. I'll take you to a hotel in Pelican Town and get you a private room."

Barron was thinking about the next action plan, while also not forgetting to make sure Leon was settled.

"That's fine. I'll listen to you." Leon nodded obediently. "Besides, living in Pelican Town is not bad. Although it's the old Pelican Town, it shouldn't have changed much. Maybe I can get to know those old acquaintances from the future again."

Lyon was very satisfied with this arrangement, and he had some ideas in his mind, such as bullying Lewis, who was probably a child now, and teaching Willy, who was also a child, how to fish.

"I think you'd better not do this." Barron warned Leon seriously: "Time travel is a very dangerous behavior. You should know the theory of time paradox. If possible, I don't even want to know that you are from the future."

"I understand. I'll just think of myself as a tourist visiting Stardew Valley." Leon reacted instantly and nodded solemnly.

"Okay, let's go. By the way, I'll treat you to a meal at Old John's. The meat he has is the freshest in Pelican Town, and his pickled beef is also amazing." Barron immediately put on a happy expression, put his arm around Leon's shoulder, and took him out of the farm.
