Chapter 1: A Warm Home
"Brother Xiao, you wait for me, you're running too fast, I'm about to lose track!"
"Sister Wan'er, hurry up, you see it's getting dark, if we can't get home before dark, we'll have to eat fried meat with bamboo shoots made by our father." Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 infoHave you forgotten that last time you came home because it was dark and was spanked by your daddy with a bamboo board.."
The sun was slanting in the west, the night was hazy, and a faint mist covered the land. Outside a small village, a man and a woman were running fast in the fields, as if some monster was chasing them.
This man and woman looked like they were only five or six years old, but they did not have the slightest timidity and fear that they should have at that age, and there was a kind of free rhythm between their gestures, as if it was not the first time they had done such a thing, but they had become accustomed to it.
It is a continent called Slant.
Slant is translated as magic in ancient gods, so the Slant continent is also known as the magic continent.
Since the age of the gods, which can no longer be investigated, the people of this continent have been passed down through magic for generations. Even in the poorest villages, there are white-clad emissaries sent by the state to tell the history of Slanter, the techniques and spells of magic, and to perform magical awakening rituals for children on their sixth birthdays.
The so-called magic awakening ritual varies from place to place due to economic differences. The simplest ritual is to use a piece of amethyst with a mottled texture that contains the basic elements of the continent, use a guiding spell to make the amethyst resonate with the child, and then guide the innate elemental attributes inside the child's body into the amethyst, and judge the child's innate elemental attributes and talents through the color and aura displayed by the amethyst.
Although having a high talent does not necessarily mean that you will become a strong person in the future, a child with high talent will have a greater probability of becoming a strong person in the future. Therefore, every year when the magic awakening ceremony begins, every family will wake up their school-age children early to wait for the arrival of the white-clothed messenger, and Yixi's own child can have a good talent and attributes, so that the child may be selected into the magic academy in the town. As long as you enter the academy, it means that the child's talent is recognized, and no matter what his achievements are in the future, he will be enough to become the envy of a village in a small village.
In a small and inconspicuous village called Riverside Village on the continent of Slanter, a young couple was anxiously circling the hall as if something was urgent.
"Brother Yun, you said that Xiao'er and Wan'er didn't come back so late, would something happen?" In the hall, the young woman said anxiously to the man with a gloomy face.
The man's face was originally just gloomy, and when he heard this, he couldn't help but slap the table angrily, and suddenly, a thick echo echoed in the empty hall.
"It's not a good son and daughter you taught, I like to run around every day if I don't stay at home well, and I have to protect you every time I want to teach you. You see, this isn't the first time, last time I just taught them a little lesson, a few spanking to make them remember for a long time. It's good that you have to mess with me, and you run away with your two children and don't come back. The loss of the old man has sent you back again, or the whole village will not laugh at me to death! ”
Startled by the man's roar, the beautiful young woman's originally anxious face suddenly turned aggrieved, and a layer of mist appeared hazy in her big eyes, "Brother Yun, you murdered me, you said that you would never bully me, you see that you will murder me now, do you dislike me and don't want me anymore?" ”
As she spoke, tears fell from the young woman's originally aggrieved face.
When he saw his beloved wife Pear Blossom with rain, the face of the man next to him, who was still angry, instantly turned into a helpless expression, but this expression was more of a pampering.
"Fool, how old are you, and you still play petty at every turn, so that the children can't laugh at you."
The man known as Brother Yun shook his head helplessly while comforting his wife, who was already crying silently in his arms. This beautiful girl is the baby daughter of the largest family in the village, because she is an old man, and she is a daughter, she has been pampered in every way since she was a child, and she has never suffered anything, let alone give her face. However, it is precisely this kind of pampering that has caused her to look like a child who will never grow up.
Thinking in his heart, a smile also appeared on the corner of the man's mouth, but what he liked at the beginning, wasn't it also as simple and kind as hers.
Gently patting the woman's palm, the man wiped away the young woman's tears little by little, and then said slowly: "Okay, don't cry, let's wait a while, if the children don't come back after a while, we will go out to find it together."
。。。。。。。。。。。
"Hey, why is my mother crying, Brother Xiao, did my father bully my mother?"
Outside the hall, Ling Xiao and Mu Wan'er, who were thieves and rats, carefully hooked their heads towards the inner hall, as if they were afraid of being discovered by the men inside.
"Sister, how dare my father bully my mother, it must be that my father did something wrong and made my mother unhappy, so my mother will cry."
"But brother, isn't that still a father bullying his mother!"
"Uh-uh, yes. Sister Wan'er, should we tell my grandfather about his old man? Didn't he tell us that if my father bullied my mother, we should tell him? ”
"Uh-huh, yes. Brother Xiao, you lead the way, let's sneak over, in case Daddy hears us, we won't be able to go. ”
"Mm-hmm, okay, sister, follow me."
At the door of the hall, Ling Xiaowan's brother and sister, who had been listening to the movement in the house, quietly left this place of right and wrong, and seemed to be running towards their grandfather's house. However, as soon as she walked out of a corner, her sister Mu Wan'er was pulled by her brother Ling Xiao and walked into the room between the two.
"Brother Xiao, aren't we going to find grandpa? Why did you go back to your room?"
was pulled into her room, the little girl called Wan'er's sister looked at her brother on the side with a confused expression, she was really a little puzzled, wasn't she going to her grandfather's house?
I saw my brother smile, pinched his sister's nose, and said, "Silly sister, we just moved out of my grandfather to threaten my father a little, so that he didn't dare to teach us a lesson, otherwise, do you think we can go back to our room so smoothly?" The elder brother said as he cleaned up his and his sister's beds.
"Okay, sister, go to sleep, we're going to go to the awakening ceremony tomorrow morning, I guess my talent must be higher than yours, hahaha!" My sister seemed to be still thinking about what her brother just said, but she felt that she didn't understand anything, so she hummed her small nose and muttered in a voice that only she could hear, "Bad brother, you know how to bully me." Hmph, sleep and see how I overtake you tomorrow. ”
Nightfall, hall. At the moment when Xiao'er and Wan'er fell asleep, a faint smile appeared on the man's face. He gently kissed his wife in his arms and said, "Okay, Yun'er, your baby daughter and son have gone back to their rooms and slept down, so you don't have to worry about it now." ”
The corner of the woman's mouth called Yun'er in the man's arms twitched, and she said, "What do you call my precious daughter and son, aren't they yours?" ”
The man was stunned for a moment, then laughed happily, "Yes, that's our precious daughter and son." Okay, wife, you see it's getting late, let's go to sleep. ”
A soft hum came from the man's arms.
Green silk and red candles, sleepless all night.
