Chapter 28 trapeze (6)

The thought made him shudder, and I could see the long, heavy bronze and black feathers of his wings quivering.I asked him if an in-flight affair would result in a child, and he replied nonchalantly, of course it would.I pressed on, and he said that the child was such a burden to the flying mother, that once the child was weaned, he would be handed over to other relatives to be raised, "to stay on the ground," as he said.Sometimes, the flying mother loves the child so much that she gives up flying herself to concentrate on taking care of the child.He obviously showed some contempt when he brought it up.

Children of flying people were no more likely to grow wings than other children.There is no genetic factor for this phenomenon, but a pathological manifestation of a progressive disease, and all Giyas have a probability of less than one in a thousand.I think Aditya would not accept the word "disease".I also spoke to a winged Ghia who chose not to fly, and he also allowed me to write down our conversation, but he begged me not to mention his name.He lives in a small city in the Central Province of Guia and is a consultant in a very famous local law firm.He said: "I've never flown. I was twenty years old when I got sick. I thought I was past my age and safe. It was a big blow. My parents spent a lot of money and made a lot of money. Sacrifice got me into law school. I did well in college.

I like to study. I have a great power of perception.Losing a whole year is bad enough, and I'm not going to allow it to swallow up my entire life. To me, wings are nothing more than a gigantic growth.They prevent you from walking normally, dancing, sitting in an ordinary chair with dignity, or wearing decent clothes.I will not let such things block my way of studying, let alone let it affect my life.Flyers are stupid people whose brains have been absorbed by feathers.I wouldn't trade my intellect for a life of flying around rooftops all day.I'm more interested in what's going on under the roof.I want to get married and have kids.

My father was a very kind man, and he died when I was sixteen.I've often thought that if I could treat my own little one the way he treats us, it would be a great way to remember and be grateful...I'm lucky to have a beautiful woman who doesn't mind my inconvenience woman.In fact she won't allow me to say that.She insisted that this—” He tilted his head slightly, motioning to his wings, “—was her first impression of me.She said that when we first met, she thought I was a pretty dull guy until I turned around. "His head-feathers were black, and his crest was blue. And his wings, though bound like all winged men who do not fly, lay flat behind him so that they would not get in the way , and try not to let others notice them, but the feathers on them are dark blue and peacock blue, and there are black patterns as decorations, which look very beautiful. "In any case, I am determined to live a down-to-earth life , you can understand this sentence from two aspects.Even if I ever had those unrealistic, childish fantasies about flying for a little while — and I never did — after the fever and the delirium, and finally getting through the whole agonizing time-wasting After the process, I no longer have this idea.After I got married and had kids, there was nothing that would tempt me out of my life, and I wouldn't even think about it.That's completely irresponsible, that kind of arrogant attitude - I absolutely hate the arrogant attitude of flying people. "Afterwards, we talked about his legal practice, which was very successful, and he devoted his life to helping the poor get rid of profiteers and crooks. He showed me full-length portraits of his two children, both of whom They are very beautiful, one is eleven years old and the other is nine years old. He just made his feather into a quill and gave it to the nine-year-old child.

The probability of these two children growing wings is one in a thousand, the same as that of all Gia people.Shortly before I left, I asked him, "Have you ever dreamed of flying?" The lawyerly man paused for a long time before answering.He turned his gaze away and looked out the window. "Who among us hasn't dreamed?" he said.
