Chapter 2 Two families of three
In the evening, the afterglow of the setting sun gilded the small village with a warm goose yellow, smoke rose everywhere, and the children in the square returned home after a day of practice, except for a few restless figures who occasionally appeared, the whole village became quiet and peaceful.
There is a small wooden house in the southwest corner of the village, where is Yan Xiao's home, there is a small flat in front of the house, and several physical training facilities are arranged in the ping, which are made by the uncle next door for Yan Xiao.
After returning home, Yan Xiao continued to train his pace in the ping, and the uncle sitting on the stone pile next to him occasionally gave some advice, but the uncle was busy with his own affairs most of the time, and often emitted some strange lights, which attracted Yan Xiao to envy, which was the light generated when using the power of the soul.
"Xiaoxiao, I asked you Uncle Shen to go home for dinner together. Yan Xiao's mother's voice came from the house.
Uncle's real name is Shen Mo, and he is also a foreigner who came to the village a few years ago. Once he was really noisy by Yan Xiao, who was scarred and howling every day, so he took the initiative to help Yan Xiao treat his injury, and Yan Xiao's mother invited him to eat at home in order to express her gratitude, and it has been like this every day since then. Shen Mo was gradually infected by this optimistic and open-minded family of two, and Shen Mo, who came out of the haze, participated in the demon hunting team in the village, and became the captain of Yan Xiao's mother's team, and then lived this strange life of two families and three, although it was dull but also happy.
"Hey, old Shen, when are you going to marry my mother?"
"What do children understand. ”
"Let me tell you, Li Dama's mother in the east of the village said ugly things again today. ”
"Really?"
"When did I lie to you, didn't you notice that my mother rarely goes out now?" Shen Mo, who was walking home with Yan Xiao, suddenly stopped thinking when he heard this. Yan Xiao, who was holding his head in his hands, still said as he walked: "I used to say that I was a wild child, but now I dare to say my mother, if I didn't beat that Li Da, I would have to beat him every day so much that my mother didn't recognize him." ”
Speaking of this, Yan Xiao started to worry, he and that Li Da still had a battle between men, seeing that the agreed deadline was about to arrive, Li Da was the second in the village after Madaraki, but his own cultivation has not yet broken the barrier, and the difference in strength is visible to the naked eye.
The reason for this is because Li Da's mother has a broken mouth, and she always likes to point fingers at Yan Mi behind her back, Yan Xiao was angry, so she secretly peed in someone's water tank, but once she was accidentally bumped into by Li Da, and in a hurry, Yan Xiao casually gave Li Da a war letter in order to save her life, saying that half a year later, a man's duel, and the one who lost recognized the other party as his father.
No matter how simple people are, they will have their own views on the world, and most people will think that they are on the right and righteous side, many people will keep their thoughts in their hearts, but some people will attack others with words, in the hope of getting more recognition and gaining spiritual superiority.
It doesn't matter if it's right or wrong, it's just that these gossips have undoubtedly added weight to the lives of a couple of orphans and widows. Although Yan Xiao's mother often looked indifferent, she would comfort Yan Xiao and say, "We can't ask the whole world to be kind to us, we should be grateful for all the kindness we meet." But Yan Xiao could still feel his mother's melancholy, so he hoped that this kind and powerful uncle could hold up a big umbrella for his mother.
"Xiaoxiao, you wait, this is for you. Shen Mo called Yan Xiao and threw him a delicate bracer. "This is a little thing I made, and I'll give it to you now, and I'll teach you how to use it after eating. ”
Yan Xiaohu looked at the bracer in his hand suspiciously, and immediately ran over with a smile and wrapped it around Shen Mo's waist, and shouted happily: "Go home for dinner!" Shen Mo looked at the little head on his waist, his eyes were full of tenderness, and he carefully tried to put his hand on it and rub it, as if he was afraid that a big movement would shatter a certain dream.
Yan Mi, who was setting up the meal, looked at the two men who came in at the door, and the smile on the corner of his mouth became sweet.
"Xiaoxiao, don't pester your Uncle Shen all day long, spring hunting is coming soon, and your Uncle Shen still has a lot of things to do. ”
"Oh, I know, are you going to go this time for spring hunting, Mom?" Yan Xiao looked at his mother hopefully.
"I'm going. Yan Mi smiled and touched Yan Xiao's head and said.
The Covenant will call for two major demon hunting operations every year, spring hunting and autumn hunting, which has become a tradition of the Covenant for many years, and demon hunting is also the responsibility of every Star Covenant person, although it is not mandatory, but every family will contribute their own strength to these two actions. Yan Mi's cultivation is not high, just an ordinary Enlightenment Realm, but since Yan Xiao was five years old, she insisted on participating in every demon hunting activity, and warned Yan Xiao: "We were born under the stars, we are part of the Star Alliance, although we are not strong, but you must know that the Star Alliance needs our strength to protect her while protecting us." Just like you need mom, mom needs you too. ”
"Then why don't you let me go this time, I've made great progress in training in the space of the copper instructor, my physical body is almost to the Iron Bone Realm. Yan smiled and stood on the stool to flex his muscles, his eyes full of excitement.
Yan Mi looked at the excited Yan Xiao, and had to smile bitterly and cast a look at Shen Mo for help. Shen Mo immediately put down the dishes and chopsticks, looked at Yan Xiao and said seriously, "Have you broken the barrier?"
"Nope. Yan Xiao suddenly wilted.
"A child who can't use the power of the soul, no demon hunting team will be willing to ask for you, which demon hunting team dares to use a child as a meat shield?"
"But I think I'm about to break the barrier. Yan Xiao was still a little unrelenting.
"In that case, as long as you succeed in breaking the barrier, no matter when I will take you to hunt demons, you will practice well at home this spring hunt, okay?"
"Okay then!" Yan Xiao was not a foolish person, although he really wanted to go to the spring hunt, because this time Madara would go, but the reason for silence made him unable to argue, which made him a little frustrated. But after thinking about it, in this case, my mother and Lao Shen are spring hunting together, and I and Duo'er are practicing together, it seems to be quite good, and Yan Xiao suddenly felt a little happy when he thought about it.
"Okay, Lao Shen, then I will hand over my mother, a big beauty, to you, you must protect her well, if you dare to let my mother get hurt a little, I will pour sand into your bowl every day. Yan Xiao has done this, so this threat is very effective, at least Yan Xiao thinks so.
There was silence for a while, as if caught in some kind of memory, then he looked up at the sky, took a deep breath, and said vigorously: "I will definitely protect you this time, I swear with my life." When speaking, Shen Mo did not look at Yan Xiao, but looked at Yan Mi opposite with firm eyes, Yan Mi's cheeks flushed instantly when he saw this fiery look, but he did not hide the joy in his eyes, which made Yan Mi, who was already good-looking, even more moving.
In fact, after getting along in the past few years, the two have also talked in detail about the past that made them bury their hearts, and they have long had a good impression of each other, but they have never felt heartbeat. However, at this moment, maybe the time has come, maybe the bright moon in the sky is too annoying, or maybe the spring flowers are blooming in the bottom of my heart.
Some people say that love is a river, and once you fall into it, you will fight for it.
If love is really a river, it is estimated that Yan Xiao will hear the sound of "poof, poof" entering the water at this time.
