He really wanted to serve Lao Cui another bowl, but Lao Cui said that food should not be wasted, so he gave up.
When the waves of memories washed up on the beach of consciousness, Cui Qiushi was putting rice into his mouth. After remembering everything during the trial, he shed tears of longing while swallowing the rice in big gulps.
These sudden tears were definitely not shed for Cheng Shi, but for the him in Cheng Shi's eyes...
Cui Qiushi's father, Mr. Cui, Cui Dingtian.
Cheng Shi must have seen his father, otherwise Cui Qiushi could not explain why Cheng Shi's eyes flashed with surprise and nostalgia the moment he saw him.
He had never been in line for Chengshi, nor had he ever heard Chengshi's name from Sister Qing and Bailing.
Even though Cheng Shi knew Zhao Qian, Zhao Qian was not a gossipy person and he would not reveal the identity of his companion to an outsider.
Cui Qiushi is just honest, but being honest does not mean that he is not observant or meticulous.
He noticed that Cheng Shi's attitude towards him was different, and he also felt the very faint appreciation he exuded.
All of the above made him realize that Cheng Shi had most likely met his father.
Because in this world, there is only him, like him.
Father, is he okay?
In fact, Cui Qiushi had thought of these inferences as early as during the trial, but at that time he was still a strong shield protecting his companions and could not let the sadness in his heart drag down his emotions.
So he put aside all distractions and focused on the trial.
And now, at this moment, it was his own time. He could finally have a good cry to vent his longing for his father.
Cui Qiushi asked himself more than once why he didn't go to Lao Cui, but he also answered himself more than once:
Because he has decided to do something for this twisted and collapsing world, and the cost of this choice is so heavy that he does not want his father to bear it with him.
As an old man, he has carried the burden for half his life, and now it is time for the fledgling to try to soar into the sky.
He also knew that his father would definitely support him, because Old Cui once said: The descendants of the Cui family must live a proud life.
Maybe I am not good enough now, but I am on the right path.
Dad, did you see that?
It was a slightly salty dinner, but what made my mouth salty was not salt, but tears.
When Cui Qiushi ended this sad moment in nostalgia, he resolutely drew a symbol on the wall behind him, then stepped through the black door and embarked on the road of passing on fire.
He found the idle [Flame of Hope] and prayed to him to help him cover up this memory.
[Hope's Flame] cheerfully examined him for a long time, then asked with an interested smile:
"How do you know it was me who restored your memory?"
Cui Qiushi was stunned, his face was blank and he said:
"I... just found out."
"......"
The flames stagnated. At this moment, the fire-transmitting space blessed by the [Fire of Hope] was almost seen through by the invasion of [Silence]!
He was choked and sighed heavily as he looked at Cui Qiushi who was at a loss in front of him.
"Relax, you'll forget everything."
As soon as he finished speaking, Cui Qiushi lost his memory.
He even forgot why he was here, because the common rule followed by the Fire Bearers was "Don't knock on the door unless you have something to ask."
But at this moment, a shout that broke the awkwardness came from the distance on the Fire Road.
"Qiu Shi? You came just in time. I was just about to call you. Come on, the boss said there's a new City Builder joining us, and we're going to hold a welcoming ceremony."
Cui Qiushi was stunned again.
City builder?
Didn’t the Builders’ Firewood Seeker die at the hands of a traitor?
How come there are new people among the city builders?
Could it be... a new salary seeker?
His companion saw his shock, nodded and smiled:
"Guessed it? It seems we have found a powerful companion, a new... Firewood Seeker."
