第二章 龙血战士家族（上）（3）

A group of thirteen year olds chatted amongst each other. All of them longed for that exciting life, a life filled with vigor. All of them wanted to accumulate merits and establish a reputation. They wanted to be adored by the girls and the esteem of their relatives.

　　一群十三四岁的少年们彼此谈论着，少年们都期待着热血沸腾，充满激情的生活。他们想要建功立业，他们想要得到女孩们的崇拜，他们想要得到故乡亲人们的称赞。

This was their dream!

　　这就是他们的梦想！

“Linley, your father, Lord Hogg, has some extremely important business  with you. Don’t go off playing with the other kids. Come home with me.” Hillman walked to Linley’s side. Gazing at him, Hillman felt very proud.

　　“林雷，今天你父亲霍格大人有非常重要的事情，你别在这跟别的孩子玩了，跟我们一起回去。”希尔曼走到林雷面前，看着眼前的林雷，希尔曼心中也非常欢喜。

Linley was exceedingly smart. Under the tutelage of his father, Hogg, since a young age, he had learned many words and could read most books.

　　林雷非常聪明，在父亲霍格从小的教育下，许多字都学会了，一般的书籍都能够阅读了。

Reading was a very luxurious thing. Usually, only the scions of noble houses could read. The Baruch clan was an extremely old clan, and it held a large number of books.

　　读书，这是非常奢侈的一件事情。一般只有贵族才有机会去读书。巴鲁克家族是一个非常古老的家族，书籍倒是非常的多。

“Uncle Hillman, I know already. My lord father already reminded me three times. My lord father has never been so insistent about anything. I won’t go off and play.” Linley grinned, revealing his pearly white teeth, perfect but for the fact that one was missing.

　　“希尔曼叔叔，我知道的，今天父亲大人已经嘱托过我三次了。父亲大人从来没有这么重视过一件事。我不会在这玩的。”林雷咧嘴一笑说道，露出了一行洁白的牙齿，只是一行牙齿中央却少了一颗。

Linley was already beginning to grow permanent teeth.

　　林雷，已经开始换牙了。

“That’s enough. You are missing one of your front teeth. When you smile, you let the wind in.” Hillman laughed. “Go,go home.”

　　“好了，门牙都少了一颗，笑的时候都漏风了。”希尔曼笑着说道，“走，回去吧。”

In the ancient front courtyard of the Baruch manor, after the family finished dinner, Linley was playing around with his younger brother.

　　巴鲁克家族那古老府邸前院当中，一家人吃过晚餐后，林雷正跟自己年仅两岁半的弟弟嬉闹着。

“Big brother, hug, hug!”

　　“哥哥，抱，抱。”

Little Wharton was staring at Linley with a look of pure, simple love. Walking unsteadily, he extended a small, pudgy hand towards Linley, trying to hug him. Linley stood not too faraway, quietly waiting for little Wharton  to reach him.

　　小沃顿那纯净的不含一丝杂质的双眸看着林雷，还迈着不稳的小步子伸着一双肉肉的小手朝林雷欢快跑了过来，林雷在不远处蹲着静等着小沃顿跑过来。

“Wharton, you can do it!” Linley encouraged him.

　　“沃顿，加油，加油。”林雷鼓励着。

Little Wharton’s wobbly footsteps made people fear he would fall with each step. But in the end, little Wharton managed to rush into his big brother’s embrace. His smooth skin, as soft as water, was slightly pink. His big round eyes stared athis elder brother, and in a baby voice, he said, “Big brother, big brother.”

　　小沃顿跑的步子，让人时刻担心会跌倒。不过小沃顿最后竟然还是一下子冲入了林雷的怀抱，沃顿那如同水一般柔的晶莹肌肤此刻红彤彤的，一双乌溜溜的眼睛兴奋地看着林雷，奶声奶气地喊着：“哥哥，哥哥。”
