Cosma Empire

Durin Cosma is the third boy in the Cosma family. In addition to two big brothers and an elder sister, there are three younger brothers and two younger sisters. It can be said that the Cosma family has at least reached the generation of Durin, and the people are thriving.

But unfortunately, Cosma is not a prominent surname with a profound background. The so-called family…but it is a kind-hearted joke by the countryman to Mr. Cosma, who made him so many children?

Yes, Durin is just a farmer’s son, and he needs to do a very heavy physical labor every day to enjoy a little free time after dinner.

If there are no accidents, Durin may use a hummer or two scorpions as a dowry at the age of twenty, and a face in the country where he lives is covered with pockmarks, and the farm work is comparable to him. The rough-handed woman is the wife. Then he will be driven out of his home by father, with the help of the brother sister, as far as possible near the home, build a small wood house of his own, and then like his farmer’s father.

During the day, try to open up crops as much as possible, expand the scope of farming and properly take care of crops that are not so easy to problem.

In the evening, try to be as busy as possible on the wife’s belly, and strive to give yourself enough descendants to ease the burden on yourself in the future.

Almost all the farmers will spend their lives in such a bland life, and there may be a little flash in their simple and ordinary life, but the flash is just a small unwillingness in the sun, which is hard to notice.

However, this is something that will happen without an accident, and our story begins with a small accident from Durin!

“My God! How could this be done?”, Mrs. Cosma grinned and looked at her eldest son and her second son and dragged the unconscious Durin from the carriage.

Obviously, his head was hurt, and there was a dry blood mark on his forehead. It seems that if he had stolen Mr. Cosma’s wine and fell to the ground and touched the stone, then he went to the ostrich nest.

There is no entertainment in this rural area far from the city, except during the night when the lights are turned off. So most young people put a little idle time on drinking, gambling, and peeking girls. Of course, if possible, they will also think a little about their stomachs, for example, get some wild food and have a stomach without oil.

Eldest son Mason rolled up his sleeve and wiped the sweat on his forehead. He smiled and said the simple thing. To put it simply, after doing the job, the three men sneaked into the haystack and slacked, a stone that didn’t know where to fly, and slammed Durin’s forehead, and then he was comatose until now.

In the eyes of Mrs. Cosma, she went to Durin and gently helped him to lick his hair. The rough palm groped for Durin’s still small face. “My poor Durin…”, when she looked up again, The eyes became a bit fierce. “Do you know who lost the stone?”

In the country, if a woman has the temperament of “Eldest Young Lady”, then she may live less than 30 years old and will be depressed. Don’t underestimate the lethality of the countrymen. The highly repetitive and heavy farm work has allowed them to grow a less friendly mouth and far more than the barbarism they have shown. 骂街? It’s just an anecdote after a meal, with family as the unit, because some of the little things that can’t be put on the table are the anecdotes that people talk about.

Mason smiled and scratched his head. He didn’t see the man.

After Cosma’s cursed waste, the brothers moved Durin back to his bed.

They didn’t ask the pastor, and they didn’t ask the doctor. They didn’t even get a little money, but they needed to wait. If Durin hasn’t reawakened after a day or two, they will invite the only priest in the town to come here to see Durin, or ask the speaker to leak the air and be diagnosed by a doctor who has killed four teeth.

Perhaps in the eyes of the city, this is simply a kind of murder, but in the country, this is the most correct approach.

When you have no last resort, you will never come up with a penny!

In the coma, Durin had a dream, a complicated dream. In his dreams, he saw something strange and experienced a journey that he could not describe. When a thing called a bullet hit the poor worm, he woke up.

The first sentence after he woke up, let the family that had been calm for decades, there was a wave.

I am going to the city!

Mr. Cosma sat on his hard wooden chair with his legs crossed, and the cigarettes in his hand burned out. He slammed the last small piece of his butt on the floor and lifted his foot and grinded it. When he raised his eyebrows again, the members of the family kept a slight bow, a very serious and humble expression.

Mr. Cosma is the real master of this family. Without him, there would be no one here. For the ignorant countryside, Mr. Cosma has a higher power than the theocracy and imperial law.

“You… want to go to the city?”, Mr. Cosma tried to make his tone less aggressive, which in his opinion was a very stupid thing. Who can go in the city? If the country is a comfortable place, then the city is hell, it is a magic cave. Every minute, every second, is a torment. In that damn place, it seems as if you need to spend money to breathe.

No money?

Then you can only become a tramp. If you are lucky, you may encounter the charity of a good person and fill your stomach. If you are not lucky, it is very likely that the trafficker will catch it and send it to the north to mine. After all, the powerful young man like Durin is the favorite type of mine owners.

In the face of Mr. Cosma’s inquiry, Durin nodded very seriously. “Yes, father, I am going to the city. I can’t stay in this place for a lifetime. People’s lives are invaluable. If they can’t bloom the most brilliant, Living is no more comfortable than being dead.”

“You don’t know how to read. After you go to the city, you are like a blinking blind. You can’t read the street signs, you can’t read the newspapers, and you can’t even read the job briefs!”

Ming knew that Mr. Cosma was trying to stop him, but Durin had already determined his determination to leave the country. He can’t slowly rot and decay in this place like a corpse, he needs to create his own life.

Like the poor guy in the dream, even if the last wife is scattered, even if there is nothing in the end, even if he finally dies under a thing called a bullet, he will release his own dazzling rays of light.

If mediocrity, it is better to die!

“I will learn the father, I know that you have your knowledge, but I want to leave here and take a trip. I will fix my shoes and make umbrellas. These are the skills I can live in the city. And I can suffer, father, I don’t want to work, just give me a place to live, I believe someone will be willing to hire such a fool.” Convincing Mr. Cosma is the only way for Durin to leave the country.

Every week, there is a car passing by this place called Noji Town, but if you want to get on the bus, you need money.

In the big family of Cosma, except for Mr. Cosma’s money, even Mason, the 19-year-old eldest son, has not touched a few dollars, let alone his later guy.

“Are you sure you are leaving, leave me and your mother, and your brother sisters?”, Mr. Cosma’s tone is a bit harsh, and for the parents who grew up in the country, the most unbearable is ignorance. The child rejects his kindness and constantly defies his will.

Durin was silent for a moment, stood up and took his belt down. It was made of beef tendon, very strong, and covered with a thick layer of putty. He put the belt on the table, then took off his shirt and squatted on the floor.

“If you want to implement the Hang Family law, then please execute it before I leave!”, Durin said chop nails and sever Iron, “because I have made the first and most important decision in my life.” I want to leave here and go to the city.”

“Even if I am injured and killed in the city, that is my own path of choice. I respect you, respect you, you have given me life, but I hope that in my life, I can have such a day, let me kill myself.” Once my own future! Father!”

In the end, Mr. Cosma did not pick up his belt. He rolled two cigarettes in a row and looked at the children around him from time to time. Although he doesn’t have much culture and doesn’t know what to do, life gives him the wisdom that human beings should have. When a puppy squats out of the nest, the other puppies will not be willing to stay in the nest. Durin may not realize that he has changed his mind not only himself but also his brother sister.

Silent night, no one has the interest of communication, all considering the fact that Durin is about to leave.

Early in the morning, Mr. Cosma was already sitting at the table outside the kitchen. He had a small palm-sized box on his hand. It was something that Mr. Cosma brought back when he went to the city. It was filled with a kind of stuff. Cigarettes with filters are considered treasures by Mr. Cosma. Later… It seems to be the second year of the New Year. When Mr. Cosma took out the box, he discovered that the cigarette that was missing from it was already covered with mold.

He was annoyed by the exposure of the moldy cigarettes in the sun, hoping to be able to rescue some of them, but unfortunately it turned out to be meaningless.

Since then, this small iron box has become the instrument he used to hold important things, and he was hidden in the hollow under the third wooden board under the bed.

Yes, the family knows where he hides things, only he feels that others don’t know.

It may be that I know that I am leaving this decadent countryside, going to the metropolis to create my own future. Durin didn’t close his eyes overnight, and the morning was still full of spirit. He wore a linen bib with a light blue blue coat that was common in the countryside and a white canvas top that was washed in some places. He made himself clean and full of yearning for the future.

“father!”

Durin greeted him, and Mr. Cosma pointed to the chair next to him and let him sit down. After Durin sat down, Mr. Cosma pushed the cup in front of him, took the small iron box, hesitated, and handed it to Durin.

“There are twenty dollars in it, which is at least enough for you to live in the city for three months. After three months you will have two ways to go, either to live your own way, or to go back to the country because of hunger. “He seems to have a lot of common feelings, patted Durin’s shoulders hard, and then squeezed it tightly, letting Durin feel a burst of pain. “Remember, you are the kid of the Cosma family, no matter what.” Do you want to be like a decent guy in the future, don’t forget that you still have a retreat.”

“We will welcome you home anytime!”

It’s hard for Durin to imagine a fan who can’t sneer at the usual time, a serious face, always giving a kind of old-fashioned impression, can say such a sensible word. Some of his nose is sore and sour, and nodded hard. “I understand, if one day I come back, it will definitely not be because I am nowhere to go back like a loser. I will let the flowers spread, it will make people Play on the side of the road because they will welcome a king who is going home!”

Mr. Cosma laughed and slaps on the back of Durin’s head. “Go, boy, don’t play with your mouth.”

The two left home, no Xiang Family people bid farewell, all the way to silence outside the town. After waiting for about half an hour, the car looked a bit stupid, and a vintage bus with a total of sixteen wheels came slowly. Some people have already sat in the car, and most of the positions are still empty.

Looking at the slowly stopped car, Mr. Cosma suddenly hugged the son in front of him, who sometimes made him angry, slamming his back as if to keep himself in mind, ” Go, go, the chicks always have to leave the nest to live alone. I can’t give you a good family, but it won’t stop you from flying the sky!”

Durin took a deep breath ，望着脸上已经有了皱纹，头发也显得有些枯黄发白的father ，眼眶里蒙上了一层水雾。他没有再多说一句话，上了客车，选择了一个靠窗的座位，在father 不舍的目光中，在颠簸的路上，逐渐的离开了这座养育了他十六年的小镇。
