Half a month later......

The morning sun shines on the city built on the hills. This is one of the three major cities of the Red Dragon Principality, located in a basin in the north of the Longya Mountains, surrounded by mountains on both sides, and the water weasel tributaries of the Longsalia River pass by.

As far as the eye can see, most of the houses are made of wood and are located on undulating hillsides. The yard in front of the house is full of plants, full of greenery, and flowers are dotted under the windowsill, creating a leisurely and quiet atmosphere of life.

There are three imposing towers in the city. Ying-style style, the foundation is made of large blocks of granite, multi-storey construction, each floor has cornices anti-Yu, and the roof is lying on the golden toad, low-key and luxurious.

They are owned by the three major families of the Great Mountain Range, the Gangqi family, the Inada family, and the Shiraishi family.

From the top of the hill, there are many small mountain villages scattered around the city. Compared to the small lofts in the city, the mountain villages are all mud and wood thatched houses. There are no modern facilities in the village, the level of civilization is very low, and it seems that it is still in the era of slash-and-burn farming.

In a small mountain village to the north, in a dilapidated thatched hut in front of a pond, a young peasant woman is scolding her child.

"Fighting all day long, the stationery box is broken, the clothes are torn, do you still have the heart to study! Like your dead daddy, it's not promising! ”

The boy whimpered and argued, "It's them, they said Daddy was looking for a woman out there and didn't want us......"

"What are you crying about, it's useless, are they wrong? Your dead ghost dad hasn't sent money to his home for a few years, and the family is almost out of the pot, and he still has this home in his heart, and he doesn't have our mother, he must have raised a woman outside......" As she spoke, the peasant woman suddenly let out a wow, sat on the ground and cried.

", you're trying to force our mother and daughter to death! I said that you will earn money outside, and I will take my son at home, and when I earn money, I will go to the city to buy a house, and the family will be happy......"

"Mother, Daddy won't want us, no!"

The mother and son hugged their heads and cried.

Looking around, the four walls of the house, an iron pot and a small half-bag of rice, the dilapidated schoolbags scattered on the ground, and a few dirty primary school textbooks are all there is to this family.

"Is this Niu Er's house?"

Suddenly, the voice of a strange man sounded outside. Mother and daughter raised their heads at the same time and looked out the door warily. When a man is not at home, it is definitely not a good thing to suddenly have a strange man visit.

"Little sister-in-law, me

It's a rat, do you remember? The people outside didn't rush in, but said outside.

"Rats?" The woman seemed to remember something, "Is it the rat of the Thunder Fire Regiment?" ”

"Yes, but we have changed our name now, called the Thunder Light Regiment, the Thunder of Thunder and Fire, the Light of Light, and the Thunder Light Regiment."

"Oh, it's a rat, come in." The woman came out with a happy face, and then she saw a tall, thin man with a simple smile. She remembered that Erniu followed this man back then, saying that he was going to be a mercenary and fight the world.

The man carried a large pocket on his shoulder, which was estimated to be a souvenir. The woman smiled, no matter whether the thing was worth it or not, the dead ghost finally remembered the two of them.

"Coming from afar, thank you for your hard work, come into the house and drink saliva."

"Hey, hey, hey......" Erdan laughed stupidly. With the news of Daddy, it is as happy as the New Year.

"Erdan, don't be stupid, pour water for Uncle Rat!"

When the man entered the house, the cloth bag on his shoulders seemed to be very heavy, and he was out of breath, and he put it on the ground, making a rattling sound.

"Hey, you're ......"

"Niu Er asked me to bring you something." As he spoke, the rat untied the mouth of the cloth bag and opened it, and suddenly the golden light shone brightly, and the whole room was illuminated.

The woman had just taken the water glass from the boy's hand, and her hand shook and fell to the ground with a thud.

"Here's 30,000 gold coins, you give some of them." Rat said.

The woman was stunned. Thirty thousand gold coins, she has never seen three hundred gold coins in her life, and they are piled up like a small mountain bag in front of her.

"Wow, our family has money, we can buy a big house, and we don't have to look down on others anymore!" The child was innocent, clapped his hands and cheered, "I want to buy a lot of delicious food for Xiaohua, coax her to be happy, and she will play with me." ”

The woman stared blankly at the pile of golden coins, and suddenly seemed to understand something, stumbled forward, grabbed the rat's hand like a life-saving straw, and sobbed, "What about the dead ghost, why didn't the dead ghost come back?" ”

The smile on the rat's face froze, and he opened his mouth, unable to speak.

"Isn't he out there with a woman, isn't he? Does he not want us two anymore, doesn't he, you speak! Doesn't he want us two anymore! ”

The rat shook his head.

"Are you lying to me, you must be lying to me, he found a woman outside, don't want us anymore!"

The rat turned its back to the face. He can face the murderous gluttonous monarch, but he can't see the tears of women.

Seeing his mother's appearance, the boy also cried, "Daddy, I want Daddy......"

"Don't cry...... the rat walked over, picked up the boy, and strode outside the house, looking at the mountains in the distance, "Your father has turned into the stone of Longya Mountain, and will always guard you." ”

"Remember, child, that your father is a hero, and it is he who protects the tranquility of this land. You have to be proud of him, and when you grow up in the future, you must also be a man, and protect your mother, and protect those who love you and those you love. ”

With tears in his eyes, the boy nodded vigorously.

After a few moments, the woman regained her composure, wiped away her tears, and returned to her usual spicy peasant woman's appearance.

From the moment her husband left, she lived in fear. Mercenaries are the work of carrying their heads into the world, and life and death are just a thought. She had a premonition that there would be such a day, as if it was fate. What she has to do now is to clean up her mood, use the wealth that her husband exchanged for his life, run the family well, and train her son to become a talent, so that future generations will not have to live such a hard life as they do.

No matter what world or era it is, achieving class leapfrogging is a family history of blood and tears.

Without the efforts and sacrifices of our predecessors, there would be no relaxation today.

"If you have any difficulties in the future, you can come to Sanchahe City to find the Lei Guang Regiment, our head said, the brothers' business is his business."

The rat returned to the house, tied the money bag again, and carried it, "Let's go, go to the city, deposit the money in the bank, and then donate some to the Church of Light, and take off the identity of the homeless." The rat looked at the boy, "I will be a citizen in the future, but I can't swear indiscriminately, and I will deduct points." ”

"I don't usually swear, and my school teachers praise me for being polite." The boy crossed his waist and said angrily.

"That's good, it's time to praise, Uncle Rat will buy you new clothes, buy the latest game console, and envy your little classmates."

"Yay, hooray!"

The sound of laughter faded away. The woman turned her head and stared at the thatched house, reluctant. The eyes seem to have traveled through time and see the generous back in the yard, which is honest and strong, reassuring and warm.
