Hearing that his son Zhao Yu talked about his sore spots, Sun Yanli seemed to be as uncomfortable as swallowing a fly. Her chest was tight and she couldn't breathe, and she tried to stroking her chest to calm her mind.

She also didn't know how to respond to her son's words. Sun Yanli did pass the assessment of a junior swordsman, and it was the kind that he passed at the age of twenty. Once upon a time, this title of swordsman was also Sun Yanli's pride, because there were almost no women around her to be swordsmen. But as time passed, the title became her eternal nightmare.

did not make the expected progress, and Sun Yanli repeatedly encountered a wall when looking for a job. Those who are obviously idle and can't do anything well, but because of their connections or dredging up the officials in the town, they found the job that Sun Yanli longed for.

So, Sun Yanli was desperate. In order to survive, she simply abandoned the title of junior swordsman and devoted herself to farm work.

But even so, she did not regret her efforts. She also always felt that it was better to have something than to have something to have, at least worthy of her conscience.

"Yes, my mother passed the swordsman junior level, and she didn't get a good job. I don't say anything, as long as you work hard, even if you are worthy of your lies. But mom has something to say to you. Your age is different, and many of your children have not passed the assessment of the junior occupation, just like a few of your neighbor big brothers. Therefore, you should try to pass the beginner level, which will also be good for your future. Sun Yanli tried to persuade her son.

Zhao Yu seems to be 'listening' and 'not listening', this child is always absent-minded, and he doesn't know what he is thinking in his head. After a while, Zhao Yu still replied.

"What's the benefit? I really don't think so. His eyes wandered as he spoke, and his thoughts seemed to be engaged in some fierce struggle, "It is just a stepping stone, and instead of wasting time on the elementary level, it is better to find a better way!"

Sun Yanli was a little deflated when she heard this. She let out an 'oh yo' and shook Zhao Yu's arm. "What do you mean by a better way?"

Zhao Yu seemed to be dodging Sun Yanli's hand and moved his position into the distance. In this way, half of his ass also left the chair.

"For example, to take the higher professional level! at least it will be useful until the intermediate level!"

Sun Yanli only felt as if her head had been slammed with an iron rod, and she pressed her temple, "Zhao Yu! You haven't even passed the beginner's level, so why do you have to think about the intermediate level!"

"I can't say for sure. Maybe one day I have some adventure and meet a good master. He taught me a lot of tricks and made me a very good swordsman?"

"Zhao Yu! Don't be whimsical, how can there be such a good thing in the world! The road is all walked out by yourself, not by others. A good life is earned through one's own efforts. ”

"Work hard?" Zhao Yu's eyes stared straight ahead, "What's the use of hard work? Many resources in the world have been booked by the children of those rich families, where can I get my turn! No matter how hard I try, I can't compare to theirs." ”

"Yes, Mom knows that this world called Cellos is very realistic. But that can't be helped, you have to work harder than others if you don't have better conditions than others. Remember, children without umbrellas learn to run in the rain. ”

"Oh, okay. I'll just learn how to run!" Zhao Yu's arms dangled down and swayed on both sides of his thighs, "Then you will let me out of Vortex Town." Anyway, there are only two professions in this broken town, and there is only a primary assessment. There's no going to live here. You let me go out and wander!" At this point, he suddenly stood up, "Let me wander outside, preferably Kiyose Castle, where there are countless opportunities, and I can work hard." ”

Zhao Yu's words seemed to have the meaning of running away from home, and Sun Yanli panicked instantly. She hurriedly stood up as well, and pressed Zhao Yu's shoulders to urge him to sit down.

"You can think like that! Can you survive alone outside? What do you think the outside world is like?"

Although Zhao Yu did sit down as ordered, there was no compromise in his words, "How do you know that I can't survive alone outside!

"Why do you talk like that, child, Mom has told you so much, isn't it for your good?"

"Don't force me for my own sake! The swordsman's primary assessment should be smooth and natural, so why put pressure on me? Besides, this kind of assessment itself is also full of water, and passing it may not be useful. Another point, our students in the trial ground have said that they may not be able to pass the test this time. Why are you the only parent who pressures me?"

Sun Yanli only felt dizzy after hearing this. She suddenly felt lightheaded, and she almost fell to the ground. Fortunately, she reacted fairly quickly, and quickly held on to the edge of the table with both hands, so as to escape the fate of falling. However, she no longer has the energy to talk about education.

And when Zhao Yu saw that his mother was a little strange, he also quickly stood up and wanted to help. But since his mother quickly turned the corner again, Zhao Yu quickly returned to his original disdainful sitting posture.

At least she can't let her mother find out that Zhao Yu is still caring about her at the moment, this is Zhao Yu's current thoughts.

"Zhao Yu, do you know! Mom has told you so many truths, but it's all for your good!"

Zhao Yu breathed out of thin air when he heard this, and he muttered in a low voice: "What truth did you tell me! ”

"Zhao Yu! You have to be clear about the facts. In this world, you can distrust anyone, but you have to listen to your mother. Because mom is the only one who won't hurt you. Mom is wholeheartedly for your good! In this world, you are also all of Mom!"

Zhao Yu reached out and clasped one of his ears, and he was about to get calluses when he heard such big words from his mother's mouth. So he didn't bother to respond to anything at all.

"Hey, haven't you heard your mom talking right now?"

Zhao Yu instantly put on an impatient look, "Oops! You're so annoying!"

"Even if you find it annoying, you have to listen to it. Mom is now telling you that the primary assessment is the most important thing, and it will affect you for the rest of your life. So no matter how hard and tired you are, you have to pass the assessment, do you hear?"

"Oh no, I'm annoyed! I don't need you to take care of my business. It's good that you take care of yourself. ”

"You ......"

"Okay, let's stop this topic! It's also my own business to pass the primary assessment. And even if I don't pass, I naturally have my own way to go. ”

"Good, good, good. Sun Yanli touched her forehead and closed her eyes slightly, "Since you are so stubborn that the primary assessment is not important, then you can continue to mix it up! Anyway, my mother has told you what I should say, if you can't gain a foothold in this world because you don't have a professional level in the future, you don't want to hate your mother." Because you have chosen the way. ”

Zhao Yu shook his shoulders, "It was originally the path I chose." Then he muttered softly, "Can you still help me choose my way?"

"Mom can't eat anymore, you ......" Sun Yanli's speech was blocked by his own cough, "cough...... Cough...... You...... Cough...... Eat it yourself!"

"Well, I don't want to eat anymore either. Zhao Yu rubbed his hands, "I'll go back to my room to rest." ”

As soon as he finished speaking, Zhao Yu rushed towards his room. Only Sun Yanli was left in the living room.

only heard a 'ping' sound on the door, and Sun Yanli knew that his son had returned to the room. But instead of cleaning up the table right away, she slowly sat down in her chair.

Now, she feels like she's in a state of collapse. Her elbows rested on the table, and she covered her face with both hands. This action continued for a long time, and she didn't even move.

'What the hell should I do, how should I educate this child?' was like a cloud of smoke that could not be waved, hovering above Sun Yanli's head. For some reason, she suddenly thought of Zhao Yu's father, who was her husband.

If her husband was still alive, would she be more relaxed?

Alas, for so many years, Sun Yanli was too tired with a child. She sometimes thought to herself, why are people so tired of living? However, whenever Sun Yanli had this thought, she would quickly and compulsorily dispel it. Because she was reluctant to give up her son Zhao Yu.

Sun Yanli herself is really not afraid of death, she has also experienced the fate of dying. For more than 20 years, neighboring countries invaded their Saran, and Sun Yanli almost died at the hands of other countries. Therefore, she is really not afraid of death.

But there is one thing that Sun Yanli will always consider, that is, if she really has to leave one day, what should her son Zhao Yu do?

As soon as he thought of this, Sun Yanli's eyes were about to burn.

She knew very well how much her son weighed. Although Zhao Yu is relatively soft and kind, he is a good child. But this alone will not survive in Celos. Moreover, he is more introverted and not very good at communicating with others. Sun Yanli was really afraid that Zhao Yu would not survive in the future.

Because of this, she was so desperate for Zhao Yu to pass the primary assessment of a swordsman. In that way, Zhao Yu will be equivalent to having a famous survival skill. No matter what happens in the future, Zhao Yu can become a soldier with the title of junior swordsman. It's better than starving to death on the streets later!

However, how could this child not understand his mother's good intentions? Alas! Sun Yanli put down his hands.

These days, she is aging rapidly on her own, and she is becoming more and more unable to do farm work. What used to be a simple rice planting has become a bit more difficult. In the past, when she rested, she could earn some extra household allowance, but now she can only wait for a rest with her eyes dazed.

Sun Yanli knew that she couldn't take care of Zhao Yu forever. Therefore, she really hopes that Zhao Yu can start a family and start her own family while she is alive, and live happily.

But......

This wish seems somewhat difficult to achieve.

Sun Yanli got up and walked to the window. Looking up at the night sky, she looked forward to her son being sensible soon. In that case, she really died that day, and she would not have any regrets.

——————————————————

Annoying, really annoying. Why are you forcing me like this! It's been several times, and when you calm down, you ask me if I can pass the test and how well I study in the testing ground! Are you tired? Can you ask me if I can pass the elementary level?

Zhao Yu snorted and tilted his head to the side.

Now he is lying on his back on the bed, his hands behind his head. One of his legs was also leisurely lifted to the knee of the other. Shaking his body like this, he stared at the ceiling in the faint moonlight outside the window.

Before, after he ran into the room, he even turned on the light and went straight to the bed. As soon as he lay down like this, he never remembered again.

Zhao Yu was really dissatisfied with his mother's nagging, and he was also annoyed that his mother paid too much attention to the assessment of junior swordsmen. Isn't it just a swordsman? what's there to stare at and nag every day. What if you don't pass the examination? If it's a big deal, you can become a farmer! Aren't Zhao Yu's father and grandfather the same? Their family has no tradition of getting ahead.

However, Zhao Yu had heard that their grandfather's grandfather had been a soldier in the Saran Kingdom. This ancestor also handed down a sword, which was placed on the sacrificial cabinet in the hall. Mother has always boasted that this ancestor is the pride of the Zhao family, but because the age is too old, Zhao Yu has no sense of accomplishment at all. After all, there have been four generations! Zhao Yu has even talked about his father and grandfather, not to mention that grandfather?

Zhao Yu hurriedly shook his head. In short, the junior swordsman is not a big deal, and if he can't pass the test, he can't pass the test, and he doesn't want to spend a little more effort on this matter. So, he simply stopped thinking about it.

Zhao Yu tried to think of something interesting. However, after switching a few scenes in his mind at random, he realized that he had no happy things to entertain at all, and there was a big push for sad and sad things. And he also found that even if he played with Zha Hongliang, it was just forcibly attaching to a person who was still willing to be with him, and it could not make Zhao Yu feel a little excited.

Zhao Yu sighed, and every time he breathed, he gradually became weak.

'What will my life be like in the future?' he asked himself. He was already a little confused, he didn't know how to face the rest of his life, and he didn't know if it would be better to mess around like this.

Merely......

Just as Zhao Yu was thinking wildly, a scene flashed uncontrollably in his mind:

A woman was struggling to work in the fields. Her waist could no longer bend, but she was still trying her best to plant seedlings and water them. This woman is none other than Zhao Yu's mother.

Zhao Yu's heart tightened suddenly, and he actually blurted out a 'mother' call.

He understands very well how hard and difficult it is for his mother to pull him up. He didn't want to confront his mother just now. However, I have suffered too many negative emotions today, and it is really difficult to volatilize. After eating, under the catalysis of his mother's nagging one after another, Zhao Yu completely broke out.

Zhao Yu already regretted it a little. He pondered whether he should apologize for his debut. However, whenever he plucked up the courage to do it, he felt a little embarrassed.

So, he had to continue to lie down on the bed and remain motionless.

From time to time, there was the sound of insects chirping outside the window, and Zhao Yu looked away. I wonder what my mother is doing now?" he let out a low 'um' sound.

Is he cleaning up the dishes and chopsticks, or is he manipulating the needlework, or is he already sleeping in bed like him? Constantly guessing about his mother's movements now, Zhao Yu's heart has completely calmed down.

No longer excited, his body relaxed. And within a few minutes of that, fatigue came over him. He felt two eyelids weigh on.

"Now I'm twenty years old. Zhao Yu muttered to himself, "Then in another ten or twenty years, what will I look like when I am thirty or forty years old?"

When the skin of his mouth was closed again, Zhao Yu felt that his surroundings seemed to be turning. I don't know if it's a hallucination or what, but it's very abnormal anyway.

His eyelids continued to heavily, as if he had been exerted a thousand pounds. He resisted forcibly opening his eyes as if he didn't want to surrender. All the while, he had a kind of resistance to anything.

However, after all, he could not resist the laws of nature. As time passed, he still closed his eyes, and his consciousness was getting closer to the illusion.

After that, when Zhao Yu's consciousness returned, he slowly opened his eyes. First he breathed a few times, and then he raised his eyes to look around.

At first, he didn't feel anything unusual, but as time passed, his eyes widened in a trance.

What kind of place is this?

He quickly straightened up and turned his head to look around in surprise.

At this moment, Zhao Yu was in a completely unfamiliar scene. Not to mention the desert in front of me, there is also a strong wind mixed with sand particles blowing from time to time. He himself was lying on a sandy ground, surrounded by no one else.

What the hell is going on? How did you come to this place?" Zhao Yu half-opened his mouth.

Remember...... Just now...... Zhao Yu gasped for a few moments, and then remembered that he wasn't on the bed at home just now?

He slowly stood up and looked around again. It's still a lifeless desert, and the whole is full of a chilling death.

He tried to take a step forward, but after taking two or three steps, he suddenly felt weak. Helplessly, he fixed himself and bowed his head. He grinded the ground with his heels, and the sand that was pressed on the ground was pushed away by him. In this way, a small bunker appeared at his feet.

Where the hell is this? He asked himself again and again.

Suddenly, feeling that there seemed to be someone around him, Zhao Yu quickly raised his head. Just a few meters in front of him, a tall, muscular man was standing with his back upright. The man was dressed in gray armor and had a sword pinned to his left waist.
