Chapter 17: The Little People (Part I)

In the south of China, in an unknown eighteenth-tier town.

Helan was struggling to lift the bucket full of rainwater and pour it into her own water tank. Seeing that the water tank was full, he laughed happily, as if he was proud that he had been able to accomplish this great feat.

He is 17 years old and lives with a frail mother. As for his father, in his impression, only a few shallow shadows from his childhood prove his existence.

Except for the mother's meager pension, the mother and son no longer have any source of livelihood. On weekdays, the mother and son cut down on food and clothing, and in order to save water bills, their family's daily water except drinking water almost relies on the rainwater saved by the family.

It's also thanks to Helan's family that there is such a small house to live in, otherwise it would be difficult for the mother and son to rent a house.

Therefore, Helan will go to a restaurant to work as a waitress on weekdays after school or holidays to subsidize the family.

On this day, when Helan went to the restaurant where he worked again, he saw the boss holding a pamphlet and researching it.

"Boss Zhong, I'm here. Helan came over to say hello to Boss Zhong in a proper manner.

"Yo, Xiaohe, you're here, pack up and work for a while, there shouldn't be many people coming today, you can rest and rest when you're free, don't be tired." Boss Zhong put down the booklet in his hand and turned his head to say.

To tell the truth, Boss Zhong is indeed very good to Helan, when Helan was looking for a job everywhere and wanted to make money to support his family, he was rejected by many places, and in the end Boss Zhong accepted him.

And the price given by Boss Zhong is also very fair - eight hours on vacation, 100 yuan a day, and four hours when going to school, 50 yuan a day. Summer and winter vacation jobs for children in big cities are basically this money.

So Helan is very satisfied, and she cherishes the opportunity to work in the restaurant, and when she works in the restaurant, she is also diligent, never delays, and obedient. This also led to the fact that the more Boss Zhong looked at him, the more pleasing he became.

Soon, Helan was working until it was time to get off work. Just as Helan was about to say goodbye to Boss Zhong, Boss Zhong stopped him and stuffed the booklet he was reading just now into his hand

"You take this, and think about it when you go back, I know you've always wanted to buy it, but you're not willing to buy it. After I bought it back, I found that I couldn't understand it at all, you can take it and look at it, if you have any interest in the future, don't forget your Uncle Zhong and me. ”

Helan looked at the cover of the booklet with some confusion, and then was stunned.

On the booklet, three big characters were clearly printed: "Practice Qi Decision"!

Seeing this book "Practicing Qi Decision", Helan was naturally overjoyed. Although the small county town on the eighteenth line where he was located was remote, he was still able to learn about cultivation through the Internet.

It's just that his little money is used to treat his mother's illness and subsidize the family, and he is not even willing to buy himself some snacks on weekdays. So, although he was very greedy, he endured it and didn't buy it.

But who would have thought that just today, Boss Zhong gave him a copy for free. After thanking Boss Zhong for a while, Helan returned home.

"Mom! Didn't I tell you, if you're not in good health, don't get out of bed to work! Can't I do all this work?" As soon as she got home, Helan saw her mother struggling to sweep the ground, and hurriedly rushed up to grab the broom in her hand and said.

"Mom, don't you feel better, Lan'er, you work so hard outside every day, and you have to clean the housework every day when you come back, my wife can help you a little bit. Helan's mother looked at him and said.

"Okay, okay, Mom, I'm young and strong, it doesn't matter! You just listen to me, go back to bed and lie down!" With that, Helan pushed his mother towards the bedroom.

At this time, Helan's mother also saw the "Practicing Qi Decision" in his hand, so she asked

"Lan'er, this is a ...... in your hand"

"Oh, Mom, this is the owner of our restaurant, Boss Zhong lent it to me, originally he wanted to cultivate by himself, but he couldn't cultivate, so he wanted me to see if I could cultivate. If you can cultivate, your son can also take care of Boss Zhong's restaurant in the future. ”

After Helan explained to his mother, he forced her to go to bed while she went back to the living room and started cleaning.

Late at night, Helan's bedroom.

At this time, Helan was sitting cross-legged on the bed, trying to feel the existence of the aura according to the description in "Practicing Qi Decision". However, Helan is obviously not as buggy as our protagonist, and after a night, there is still nothing.

In the following time, Helan went to school during the day, went to work after school in the afternoon, and returned home at night after doing housework, sitting on the bed to practice "Practicing Qi Decision".

I don't know if Helan's own talent is very good, or God took pity on him and gave him a way to get rid of poverty, on the fifth day of cultivation, Helan successfully felt the existence of aura, and eight days later, Helan finally stepped into the realm of forging the body.

After learning that he could cultivate, Helan naturally turned red with excitement. And according to the information he has found out during this period of time, someone like himself who can successfully reach the body refining realm on the eighth day can already be regarded as a genius!

And if this is the case, then he can take his mother, who has suffered for many years, out of poverty and officially live a good life!

After washing off the dirt on her body, Helan lay on the bed tossing and turning and couldn't sleep, so she simply got up again and cultivated until dawn.

In the days that followed, Helan was silent. Because he knew that what if he broke through to the Forging Body Realm in eight days, he couldn't enter the Qi Cultivation Realm as soon as possible, and he still couldn't change the status quo at home.

So, he still repeats his boring life. It's just that unlike before, Helan obviously has a head, and the only thing he thinks about now is: cultivate, make money, and then cure his mother's illness and let her enjoy happiness with him!

The hard work paid off, and on the 19th day of cultivation, Helan successfully broke through to the Qi Cultivation Realm! At this time, he could already proudly say that he was a genius!

The next day, when Helan went to work, she naturally told Boss Zhong the good news. And after Boss Zhong heard that Helan had broken through the Qi Cultivation Realm in less than three weeks, he persuaded him to hurry up and go to W H City, the capital city of H B Province, to test his attributes.

So, two days later, on Friday, Helan came home after school and told her mother that she was going to W H City once, and she would come home on Sunday and let her mother wait for him at home.

"Lan'er, you can go, you don't have to guard my bad old woman at home, I'm fine. This is the jade Buddha that my mother asked for from the master on the mountain a few years ago, saying that it can ward off evil spirits and protect luck, you take it. With that, Helan's mother handed him a little jade Buddha, and then sent him out of the house.

Helan went to W H City this time, carefully hid the more than 2,000 yuan she had earned from working for a while, and arrived in W H City by green train, and found a small hotel with more than 100 yuan to live in.

He didn't dare to go out into the streets, because he was afraid that after seeing this bustling big city, he would become addicted to it and spend all his money. You know, your attributes haven't been measured yet, in case you don't have this material, and then you spend all the money, your own home will be even more difficult.

"Waiting to get ahead, in a big city like W H, you must bring my mother here, buy her the best clothes, and take her to eat the best snacks!" A teenager clenched his fists silently in a humble express hotel in W H City......

The next day, the official test site in the city of W H.

Helan got up early in the morning and came here by bus at ten o'clock. At this time, the test site is naturally very lively, and there is no end in sight to the long queue, and from time to time someone walks out of the test point with an excited face.

Of course, there is no shortage of frustrated losers here.

"Take out your ID card and pay 100 yuan for the test. The staff at the number collection office said lightly.

Helan naturally took out his ID card and handed it to him, then took out more than 1,000 yuan with his clothes, slowly pulled out a red banknote, and then carefully collected the rest of the money.

After paying the money, after waiting for less than two minutes, the staff took out a form printed with his personal information, which stated that he should be in line in that column, what number it was, and handed it to him along with his ID card.

Helan took the number and her ID card and lined up.

Just as he was standing in the crowd and looking at the testing equipment, he heard a commotion at the door

"Let's let go, let's let go, our eldest lady is here today, don't squeeze!" As he spoke, several big men walked in with a woman in their arms.

The woman is about to be in her early twenties, which is the most beautiful age, with big shining eyes, a small mouth, a goose egg face, and a delicate figure, blooming with the unique charm of a flower girl. On her smooth jade-like neck, there is a fiery red pendant, which is very attractive.

"Who is this?

"Hey, brother, you're from another place, right? This is the eldest lady of the Lei family, Lei Ling'er! This Lei family, it's also a well-known big family in the entire south! There is a super god realm in the family!"

"Wow, husband, the pendant around Miss Lei's neck is so beautiful, I want it too. ”

"What do you want! This is a pendant made of divine Tongyun steel! Now such a piece of Tongyun steel is worth tens of billions! With your husband like this, can you afford it?"

"Hey, the Lei family is so rich? Tens of billions of Tongyun steel pendants?"

"Hehe, you don't know," the guy who spoke just now smiled obscenely.

"This piece of Tongyun steel was given to Miss Lei by our Qin Yichen and Qin Deputy Alliance Leader! Therefore, Miss Lei made this piece of Tongyun steel into a pendant and carried it with her day and night. ”

"Oh~~~~"

Well, the girl is Lei Ling'er, who was sold once by Qin Yichen in the Lubis Continent that day.

When did the child from Helan from this small place see such a beautiful girl as Lei Ling'er, so he immediately looked straight at it. However, after listening to the discussion next to him, his eyes instantly darkened. Qin Vice Alliance Leader...... That's countless times stronger than his little dick.

After settling down, Helan found that it was about to be him, so he took out the jade Buddha in his arms and kissed it gently, as if he was asking for blessing from his mother.

"Huh. One of the guards felt the jade Buddha in Helan's hand and was a little surprised.

"Uncle Hu, what's wrong?" Lei Ling'er turned around and asked.

"It's nothing, miss, I just saw a little jade Buddha with a wood-based aura, and the child holding the jade Buddha looked like a poor family, so I was a little surprised. ”

"Oh?" Lei Ling'er also looked at Helan.

At this time, Helan had already entered the test chamber. Soon, Helan's attributes were revealed-Thunder!

"That kid over there, come here, our young lady has something to look for you. As soon as Helan came out of the test chamber, he saw the guards beside Lei Ling'er shouting towards him.

After confirming that he was shouting to himself, Helan forcibly suppressed the excitement in his heart and walked in front of Lei Ling'er, but his face turned red, his head was lowered, and he didn't dare to look at Lei Ling'er.

Lei Ling'er was obviously accustomed to the shyness of a teenager like Helan when facing her, and asked, "How long have you cultivated to reach the Qi Cultivation Realm?"

"Thunder...... Miss Lei, I ...... I practiced for 19 days. Helan said nervously.

"Miss, his mental power has not fluctuated, he is not lying. A Nian Master beside Lei Ling'er said.

"The talent is good, are you interested in coming to the Lei family to be a disciple with a foreign surname? For the time being, I will give you five thousand yuan a month, and then decide whether to give you a higher income according to the future realm." ”

Lei Ling'er's words made Helan stunned in place. After a long time, he excitedly said, "I do!

"Okay, you go home and pack up first, and come to Uncle Hu within five days. Uncle Hu, give him the phone, and find a housekeeper to arrange a place for him to live after he comes. After Lei Ling'er finished speaking, he took the guards upstairs by himself, leaving Helan with an excited face and everyone who looked at him with envy.

"Mom! Mom! There is hope for your illness! I have been favored by the Lei family! In the future, the hard life of our mother and mother will be over! You will be able to live a good life!" Helan rushed all the way home from the town train station, feeling that she had come to the clouds. As soon as he got home, he couldn't wait to shout.

But there was no response from inside the room.

"Mom, Mom?"

Entering the bedroom, Helan saw his mother lying on the bed, sleeping peacefully, but without breath......

She was already terminally ill, but the wood aura in the Jade Buddha had been hanging on her life. As soon as the Jade Buddha left her body, the illness that had been suppressed by the wood aura for a long time broke out and took her life......

"Mom!"

In a nondescript dwelling in this unnamed town, a teenager kneels before his mother's body, crying out in despair......
