Back in the tiled house, the boy's cry was still as miserable. Although the movement is a lot smaller, the sad breath hidden in the bottom of my heart is rising instead of falling.

Shen Mengting took a few steps inside and stopped at a square table.

"Mom...... Mother ......" Zhao Yu cried and sniffled. His cheeks and chin were pressed against his mother's head, feeling the touch of his mother's body.

Zhao Yu has always liked to touch his mother's head very much, and of course, the ponytail that he combed up afterwards is also the object of his frequent play. But now, Zhao Yu can no longer feel this kind of happiness.

"Mom, what should I do if you're gone! I have only one relative in this world. If you leave like this, won't you leave me alone?"

Hearing this, Shen Mengting's heart tightened. Doesn't this boy have a father?" she tried to look around. Judging from the furnishings in the living room, it seems that there is indeed a feeling that mother and child depend on each other.

And now it'......

The boy's mother really died, that's an absolute fact. I don't know what his mother was thinking when she was killed by Zhang Zhijie's gang. It is also unclear whether the mother and son had ever predicted such a catastrophe.

And that was how sad the boy was at the moment, and judging by his terrible cries, it was probably in utter pain. In fact, it is no wonder that the only loved one in the world is gone like this.

Shen Mengting used to scoff at the word 'crying', and she thought that crying was the most unproductive act in the world. 'Crying' not only does not solve the problem, but also adds to some useless negativity.

However, seeing the boy so sad today, Shen Mengting actually showed a trace of sympathy from the bottom of her heart. She also began to worry about the boy's future.

'Mother is gone, how should he face this sinister world?' Shen Mengting's chest was like a sharp blade had been inserted.

But worrying about worrying, Shen Mengting was powerless to help. Now she still has an extremely important task to complete, and she has no time to plan for the boy's future days.

So......

Shen Mengting decided to leave. She slowly approached Zhao Yu until she came to his side. Bending down slightly, Shen Mengting guessed how to speak.

However, she really couldn't find the starting point of the topic! In desperation, she straightened up again and took a few small steps to the side at random.

"Hey, I've got everything! So...... I need to leave now. Shen Mengting kept squinting her eyes to see Zhao Yu's reaction, "No matter what, I have to thank you." Because I can only get things after they are handed over to you. So thank you so much. ”

But although Shen Mengting was whispering words, Zhao Yu did not respond. All his thoughts were now on his mother, as if he was completely detached from his surroundings.

Seeing this, Shen Mengting shook her head: "I also feel very sorry about your mother's affairs. But it's happening to you now, it's useless for you to cry, crying won't solve anything. She closed her eyes and scratched her finger on the bridge of her nose, "So I think you should think about how you want to live in the future!"

"I've got a little gold here, so take it, bury your mother, and find a wife and start your own family." Then your mother will be happy in heaven. ”

As she spoke, Shen Mengting took out a money bag from her pocket. From the moment he shook the purse, he heard the sound of metal crashing, apparently filled with coins.

Shen Mengting took out ten gold coins from it and lined them up on the square table next to her.

"This money is not enough for you to spend a lifetime, but at least it will guarantee you a life for the next few years. ”

Ten gold coins is a lot of money in any country in Celos. In the coin exchange system of Celos, copper coins are the second, silver coins are in the middle, and gold coins are the highest.

One hundred copper coins can be exchanged for one silver coin, and one hundred silver coins can be exchanged for one gold coin. Extending the exchange of the next level, the number of 10,000 copper coins is equivalent to one gold coin. It can be seen how expensive gold coins are.

Take Zhao Yu's family as an example, his mother can only get a salary of 800 copper coins every month. Eight hundred copper coins are equal to eight silver coins. My mother's salary for a year was ninety-six silver coins, not even a single gold coin.

Therefore, ten gold coins are equivalent to ten years of savings that Zhao Yu's family can only have without eating or drinking.

Shen Mengting was confident that these ten gold coins could bring Zhao Yu considerable financial help, and this was the only way she could compensate the family.

"Anyway, I've put the money in the side, I hope you can take it. Then ......" Shen Mengting glanced at the gate, "I really have to go." ”

But Zhao Yu still didn't have any reaction, his cry was a little smaller, but the sluggishness did not decrease at all. He seemed to be in complete despair, and began to shake his mother's body expressionlessly, like a tumbler, rhythmic and regular. Even, Zhao Yu's face was no longer crying and mourning, but showing a grin.

This is not a good sign!Shen Mengting couldn't help but frown. However, she really couldn't care about this child now, so she had to forcibly not look at Zhao Yu.

"Okay, I've said everything I need to say, I hope you can come out of the grief of losing your mother. Shen Mengting turned her head and touched her mouth, the words shot out like a crossbow, "As for those Saurons...... she hesitated, took a deep breath and looked at the ceiling above her head, "I believe they won't embarrass you or anything in the future." Because you've already given me all the 'things'. If they do come to you, you can just say that the thing is in my hands. Well, that's it. ”

Shen Mengting nodded her head in embarrassment. She knew that these words were just fooling people, and since the people of the Sauron Empire would attack an old woman, they would naturally not show mercy to a child.

But for Shen Mengting, she still has to leave quickly after all. Because she didn't know when Zhang Zhijie's gang would chase after her, maybe they were on their way here!

"Then so be it!" Shen Mengting looked at Zhao Yu with a complaining gaze, "I'm leaving!"

Goodbye! I hope you can save the day! Shen Mengting immediately walked outside the house. But just as she was about to step out the door, she couldn't help but look back at the boy.

The boy kept holding his mother in his arms, as if he had become a stone sculpture!

Alas! Shen Mengting pursed her lips and shook her head slightly. There was nothing she could do, so she threw herself off and officially left.

As soon as she stepped out of the house, she suddenly felt that it was getting darker. The dark clouds were mostly connected together, and there were a few Thor's accompaniments from time to time.

It looks like it's really going to rain!Shen Mengting quickly ran towards the white horse named Nasa.

Whether it is a staff or a magician's book, it is a relic of Uncle Yang Jiening, so Shen Mengting must keep it. She grouped the books together and wrapped them in canvas. Then, she tied the package behind her. It was almost strung with the greatsword behind it.

As for the staff, Shen Mengting decided to tie it to the sword with great importance. In that case, the staff would be like her own weapon, never forgotten.

She's about to put that into action. But just as he took off the giant sword behind him with his backhand, the staff suddenly had something strange.

The staff seemed to tremble, twitching as if it had come to life. Shen Mengting couldn't help but look at the rod of the staff she was holding in disbelief. Her eyes widened until she felt the shaking of her palms deepen, and she realized that it was not her own delusion.

Shen Mengting stretched out her arm and dangled the staff in front of her. What the hell is going on?, she kept thinking.

The wand's trembling intensified, especially near its head. Suddenly, the staff tilted toward the room, and the head of the staff was firmly fixed on the door.

Shen Mengting's face was full of surprise again. The trembling sensation of the staff has not disappeared, and there is a tendency to increase. Shen Mengting had a feeling that if she didn't hold it tightly, she would be able to break free from it.

Suddenly, Shen Mengting followed the direction pointed by the cane, and also shot her gaze towards the room.

Don't......

Uncle Yang Jiening, are you guiding me in something? Shen Mengting raised her head slightly and closed her eyes.

For a long time, there have been rumors that weapons are a person's obsession. Especially after death, he will keep his beliefs on the weapons that have followed him for many years.

This staff has been with Uncle Yang Jiening for more than 30 years, and it can be said that it has long been integrated with Yang Jiening. I believe there must have been a lot of his aura left on the staff.

If it was the staff that was guiding Shen Mengting and asking her to do something, it would be tantamount to Yang Jiening's belief manipulating behind her back.

So......

Shen Mengting suddenly opened her eyes: "Are you telling me to be responsible for that child?"

As soon as she finished speaking, the wand trembled even more, as if it had been thrown into a pot of boiling water.

"That's what you mean. Shen Mengting calmly repeated the words.

She sighed low and walked slowly towards the room. Strange to say, the second moment she lifted her pace, the staff completely stopped. This further confirms that Shen Mengting's inference is correct.

Uncle Yang Jiening must have hoped that she could protect the boy. The boy lost his mother, which must have been very miserable. And the reason why their family is so miserable is Uncle Yang Jiening's entrustment.

At the moment when Uncle Yang Jiening asked the boy to do something, it meant that the boy had been carrying an unimaginable heavy load. Apparently, such a heavy load should not be carried by a boy or his mother. Therefore, Uncle Yang Jiening must be very guilty of this family.

"You must hope that I can take care of this boy!" Shen Mengting raised her head slightly and walked to the door.

She stared ahead, then poked her head in.

The boy was still holding his mother, but his body did not move, not even the slightest cry.

Shen Mengting walked behind the boy. As the distance got closer, the more she felt the feeling of frustration at home.

Whether it is this boy or his mother, it is estimated that they are irreplaceable in each other's hearts! They both regard each other as everything, and they don't want to be separated.

But now......

Shen Mengting put a hand on the boy's shoulder after coming to his side.

"Hey!" she bent down slightly in a gentle, slow tone, "what are you going to do next?"

At first, the boy did not react, and looked down in a daze. His eyes seemed to be indescribable as nothingness, because he was like he had lost his soul at the moment, and his whole person was just a shell.

"Hey, can you have a good conversation with me?" Shen Mengting shook the boy's shoulder.

Only then did the boy react, he turned his head to look at Shen Mengting, his eyes were still very hollow, like a corpse on the verge of death.

"Can you tell me? What are you going to do next?"

The boy looked sad, and he looked down at his mother in his arms: "I don't know. My mom is gone, and I don't know how to live my life. ”

Shen Mengting sighed: "It's wrong for you to do this. Even if your mother is gone, you should be calm about life. ”

The boy's body twitched slightly, which was caused by a wry smile, "People like you...... It's not going to understand how I'm feeling. ”

His current tone was unemotional, and his voice was low. It's like when you speak, you just move your mouth, but your facial muscles don't move with you.

"Or ......," Shen Mengting resumed her upright stance, "You come with me! I will take care of you, and this can be regarded as a reward for giving me your things." ”

Shen Mengting was anxiously observing the boy's reaction. But the boy said nothing. Just when Shen Mengting felt that she couldn't communicate with the boy at all, the boy moved.

"No, you can go by yourself! ”

"So what are you going to do next?"

"You don't have to worry about that. Let me be stunned all the time here!Mom is gone, I'll go with her!" Zhao Yu said as he hugged his mother closer.

In fact, he didn't know how he was supposed to live, or that he never thought that one day his mother would leave him. Or, when his mother left, Zhao Yu's heart also died. Next, he's just a walking corpse. Since it is a dead body, what hope is there for survival? It is better to die.

It's just that Zhao Yu was a little afraid of pain, and he didn't dare to kill himself with the sword at home. So, he had to wait for himself to starve to death, or it would be a good idea to wait for the group of Saurons to come over and then choose to be killed by them.

This is the calculation in Zhao Yu's heart, he has really lost hope of living.

"You're not right. Your mother is gone, but you're still alive. You deserve to have your own life. Besides, your mother must want you to live well!"

Zhao Yu didn't respond to the woman's words, this kind of didactic remarks could no longer make him react.

"You might as well think about it this way, who is your mother's greatest concern after death? It should be you! In that case, why should you go against her will and die passively with her? You should face life well and have the courage to live alone. ”

Shen Mengting said a lot of words, but the boy just lowered his head and was lifeless.

Helpless, Shen Mengting had no choice but to let out an 'oops' and put her hands on her waist.

"And have you ever thought about a question?" she looked up and her eyes fell deep into the socket below, "who will avenge your mother when you die?"

The boy reacted suddenly, and he looked up suddenly. The eyes are no longer empty, but sharp. His breathing seemed to quicken, and his whole body became angry.

Shen Mengting knew what the boy needed to hear, and she slanted her eyes to the upper right, "Didn't you think about revenge? Don't you have a hint of anger in your heart?"

The boy was now completely back to his normal appearance, and he glared fiercely ahead, both eyebrows slowly furrowed.

"If you are angry, then you should think about how to get revenge, instead of saying things like 'I don't want to live' or 'I don't want to live'!"

The boy's lips were pursed, and his heaving upper body corresponded to his rapid breathing.

"Those Saurons killed your mother, and you deserve to live well. And then wait for the right moment to take the most ferocious revenge on them, do you think I'm right?"

The boy bowed his head to the front.

"That's fine. Aren't you going to pull yourself together and think about how to avenge your mother?"

The boy let out a 'huh' sound, how sonorous it was, and it was a world away from his previous lifelessness.

The corners of Shen Mengting's mouth were hooked to one side, but she considered that after all, the boy's mother was still dead, so she still regained her face.

And the boy's expression also changed, he was still full of enthusiasm, but soon, he sank his shoulders again, and returned to his original sense of negativity.

"But...... I'm so useless, how can I beat those guys, and if I can't, how can I avenge my mother?"

Zhao Yu knew that his ability was only a few catties and a few taels, and he couldn't even take the junior swordsman test. From the previous conversation between the woman and them, I knew that the enemies of the Sauron Kingdom were all ruthless characters who surpassed the high-level professions!

"How do you know you're going to fail? yes, yes. Your current strength is very poor, but it cannot be said that it will always be like this in the future. If you are willing to work hard, there is still a chance that you will be able to take revenge. Shen Mengting suddenly folded her neck and looked at the boy sharply, "No one knows what will happen in the future, and no one can predict it." But only if you live, then there is a chance of revenge. Even a little bit is better than being completely zero after you die. What do you think?"

Zhao Yu seemed to have an epiphany, he threw his breath to his chest, and then suddenly released, "Yes." ”

"And do you still want to die negatively?"

"Not anymore. ”

"Then you still feel that life is loveless?"

"Not anymore. I want revenge now, and my life is all about revenge. ”

"Yes. Shen Mengting nodded with satisfaction.

She didn't know whether it was good or bad to provoke the boy's desire for revenge, but at least it was better than letting him die like that!

Shen Mengting began to appear in a more standard soldier posture, her chest was held high, and her expression was also carried out

"Now, I'm going to talk to you about what to do next!"
