Chapter 461: Daddy Is Still with You on Your Journey to the Land without Sun
"What's wrong, Dad?"
Seeing Peter suddenly step on the brake again, Raven, who was sitting in the passenger seat, looked at him strangely.
"No, it's okay."
Peter retracted his gaze and shook his head at Raven.
His gaze just now accidentally caught a girl dressed in Gothic style on the opposite sidewalk.
The other party walked through the crowd, and the different aura exuded from her body made him unable to help but look at her twice more.
"Dad, are you looking at beautiful women?"
Raven looked outside and saw a group of women dressed up in fancy clothes walking on the sidewalk.
Thinking that Peter's eyes were attracted by beautiful women, her little face immediately wrinkled.
"No, of course not."
Peter immediately denied it.
In his daughter's eyes, is he the kind of person who can't walk when he sees a beautiful woman?
He was a little sad.
Starting the car, Peter continued to drive forward.
"Dad, can you stop for a while? I want to buy a bottle of drink, just in the supermarket in front."
Star-Lord, who had been listening to music in the back seat, suddenly looked up and said to Peter.
Mark also raised his hand and said, "I want to buy an ice cream, too."
Hearing that the two wanted to buy something, Peter had to park the car in the parking lot near the supermarket in front.
"You can't eat too much ice cream, Mark."
Peter said to Mark who got out of the car while closing the car door with a "bang".
"Okay, Dad."
Mark nodded immediately in agreement.
"Dad, you have to criticize Mark. He has eaten a lot of ice cream recently."
Raven walked in front and said to Peter with a slightly frowned brow.
Hearing Raven complaining in front of her father, Mark immediately became guilty.
"I eat ice cream because it makes people happy."
Mark felt that he couldn't lose face in front of his father, so he mustered up the courage to say.
"Happy?"
Raven looked at Mark suspiciously.
"Yes, do you know who invented ice cream? Sister."
Mark coughed like Peter and wanted to teach Raven a lesson.
Without waiting for Raven to speak, he continued, "It was Harry Burt, an imaginative American businessman who drove a truck with a freezer to sell candy and ice cream. One day, he came up with a way to make the popular chocolate crispy ice cream at the time, but when his daughter was about to enjoy it, the ice cream melted quickly and got all over her hands."
Raven was stunned by what Mark said.
"When Bert returned to the studio, he saw a pile of wooden sticks used to make lollipops. Suddenly, a good idea came to his mind. He put a wooden stick in each ice cream cube, and the popsicle was born!"
"He named his invention 'Good Mood Popsicle' because he firmly believed that eating ice cream would make people happy."
Mark looked at Peter with a little pride, "This is the meaning of ice cream being invented, it is to make people happy."
Raven listened to Mark's story about ice cream and asked him in surprise, "Where did you see these, Mark?"
"In the book, I usually like to read some popular science books."
"Ice cream may really make people happy at first, but once you eat too much, it will not be pleasant for your body at all."
Peter touched Mark's head and said.
He didn't expect Mark to have such a wide range of knowledge.
Will this kid not focus on his superhero path in the future and become a scholar?
Peter looked at Mark, who was grabbed by the ear by the angry Raven, and fell into deep thought.
Supermarket.
There were not many people coming to shop. Raven bought a piece of chewing gum and went to the counter to check out.
Peter, Star-Lord and Mark were still picking things in the supermarket.
There was only a father and daughter in front of Raven.
The blonde girl seemed to be worried about her academic problems. She looked up and asked her father nervously: "Dad, will the official who catches truants catch me? Bell said there is an official who catches truants. He is responsible for catching truants."
Hearing his daughter's words, the father touched the little girl's hair, "No, they won't catch you, because you are not truant. Dad has asked for leave for you at school. In the fall, you can come back to school again."
The little girl looked a little unhealthy.
She tilted her head and thought for a while, and said to her father: "I really hope that autumn will come soon. I have never been to the second grade before. I don't know what the second-grade children do. Do they do homework like us? Dad."
"Yes, they do homework like you. The first grade is the same as the second grade. Don't worry, dear, you will be fine."
The father whispered to comfort his daughter.
Listening to the conversation between the father and daughter in front of her, Raven's expression became gloomy.
She could feel the mood of the girl's father.
With a strong spiritual perception, she could always clearly feel other people's emotions.
Whether it was joy or pain.
"What's wrong? Raven."
After paying the bill and coming out of the supermarket, Peter asked his daughter when he saw her strangeness.
"Just... just thought of some bad things, Dad."
Raven smiled at Peter reluctantly.
Peter raised his eyes and glanced at the father and daughter who were leaving.
"They will be fine, Raven."
Peter guessed something and comforted his daughter in a low voice.
Raven stopped and said to Peter with some frustration: "Dad, what do you think about death?"
"die?"
Suddenly hearing his daughter ask such a serious question, Peter stopped slightly.
He glanced at Star-Lord and asked him to take Mark into the car first.
"Why do you ask so suddenly? Ruiwen."
"I don't know, maybe seeing that father and daughter made me think of something bad. When we were fighting General Zod, we destroyed half of the metropolis. There might be innocent people among them. Die for our fight.”
Rui Wen said with some self-blame: "Although I keep telling myself not to think about it, I can't control my random thoughts."
"No, it's not your fault, Raven."
Peter bent down and put his hand on his daughter's shoulder, "You can think of it this way, if it weren't for your actions, all humans on the earth would die. This is a choice, although it is difficult, but you must understand, Raven, choose It’s commitment, not choosing is escape.”
"Although we may lose something if we make a choice, all better things are obtained at a greater price. This is the normal state of life."
"I know, Dad."
Raven raised her sad eyes, "I know I have to do this, but when I see someone die, I still feel uncontrollably sad."
"Dad, will death find us one day? Will the death of the endless family you mentioned find us and force us to separate? You said, dad, only death is impossible to avoid."
"Just the thought that one day, Dad, I might be separated from you by death, makes me feel low."
Raven took Peter's hand and placed it on her heart.
"There will be overwhelming pain here."
Seeing his daughter lowering her head with slightly red eyes, Peter held her hand tightly.
He could feel Raven's mood.
The appearance of Sandman and the Endless Family made her feel a deep sense of insecurity.
"No, it won't, Raven. Although death is inevitable, she will not come to us. Even if that happens, Dad will still accompany you on the journey to the sunless land. You will never Alone."
Listening to her father's "confession" to her, Raven raised her head and looked into her father's eyes.
"Dad, even if you abandoned your farm, would you do that?"
"Compared to you, the farm is just a place. Although it is important, it will only be meaningful if you are there."
Listening to Peter's words, Raven was moved and hugged Peter.
"No, Dad, I won't let that happen, I won't let anything separate us, and I will protect the farm."
Peter smiled slightly and patted his daughter on the back, "Of course, I believe you."
In the car.
Mark and Star-Lord saw Raven and her father hugging each other through the glass.
"actually."
Mark scratched his hair and said to Star-Lord: "Sister Riwen, in fact, she is the one who pretends to be worried the most."
Star-Lord nodded, "I agree."
After an interlude, Peter took the three of them to the venue where the concert was held.
After sitting down in his seat, Star-Lord took out the leaflet.
"It was Dvor Shake from the New World at the beginning, and we were almost late."
("Dvořák - From the New World" is an album released by Kubelik in Germany in 1972, with Kubelik as the music producer.)
After sitting down, Star-Lord couldn't help but exhale.
He looked towards the front. The audience in the front row was already full, and there were also some audience members in costumes.
He even saw a guy who looked like the female stars who appeared at the Oscars, regardless of the life and death of the audience in the back row, wearing a big headdress that was three stories high.
Mark, who was next to him, curiously asked Star-Lord: "Brother, was this the last concert you attended?"
"No, the last time I participated was an outdoor one. In the park, there were tall buildings and a purple evening. The stage under the dome was suspended in the background of the tall buildings and evening. When the lights were on, it was like being in one world and temporarily opening another world. ”
Star-Lord talked about his experience at the last concert, "But there is a bit of a disadvantage. People listening to music on the grass are both comfortable and uncomfortable. The sunset sets too slowly and continues to bake the left side of everyone's faces. It flies too low. Helicopters and planes were making noise, and Dad was frowning the whole time.”
When he said this, Star-Lord looked at Peter, who was sitting next to him and took him to an outdoor concert last time.
"So you guys had a bad experience?"
Mark continued to ask.
"Maybe."
Star-Lord whispered to Mark: "But that was a rare experience for me."
An unforgettable experience with my father.
He added in his mind.
other side.
Sitting next to Peter, Raven felt the atmosphere of the concert.
There was a vague feeling of uneasiness in her heart, as if something terrible would happen here.
