Chapter 1: The Continuation of the Dream

"Ling Meng, Ling Meng, wake up, wake up. ”

Who is it...... Who's calling me...... When I yawned and opened my sleepy eyes, I found myself lazily lying on the grass.

I used to sleep in the shade of a tree, but after the passage of time, I was completely covered by the setting sun, but the warm light is more comfortable in this season.

"Uhhh

"Is it comfortable to sleep, it's getting late, it's time for us to go home." "I was greeted by a man dressed in plain cloth who still couldn't hide his handsome appearance.

He had a bow and a quiver on his back, a scimitar at his waist, and a wild boar lying on his left hand, and he was smiling at me, and that smile was warmer than the sun on the horizon, yes, it was my father, a handsome, tall and excellent hunter, who was my pride!

"Yes, Dad. I reached out and took my father's broad, strong hand, and with the help of my strength I was pulled up by him.

"Really, I obviously wanted to see my father's handsome hunting posture to follow, but I couldn't follow halfway, let you stay here and wait for me, you kid really dare to sleep here like this! ”

"It's not because my father ran away after the wild boar in a hurry, and he didn't come back for so long, and he was so tired that he accidentally fell asleep. ”

"Hahahaha! It's not good for me, but you have to pay attention to your own safety, it's too reckless to fall asleep in the mountains. ”

"If there is really danger, I believe that my father will definitely come back to save me, after all, my father is the most powerful and powerful person!"

"Haha, hahaha! Forget it this time! But next time...... Well, it's time for you to get a knife for self-defense. As my son, I can't always rely on my father, of course, I know that I am indeed a man to rely on!"

"That's right, that's right, my father is the most reliable!" I sincerely felt that my father was very reliable at that time, whether it was hunting, or the usual handicrafts, and he never lost the competition with other uncles in the village during the festival......

"I'm a little embarrassed to be affirmed by your son...... But because of that, Daddy has to work harder!"

"I'll try to help Daddy too!"

"What a father's son!" my father bent down and lifted me up.

"Wow!" I was frightened and quickly hugged my father's head, but soon I was attracted by the scenery on the mountain road.

In autumn, the mountains are even more golden with the setting sun, the leaves are slowly falling through the breeze, and the occasional shout of uncles driving cattle can be heard in the distance......

When we come to a small hillside on the mountainside, the scenery is even more beautiful when there are no trees and shrubs to obstruct it. Not only me, but my father also stopped to watch the golden picture scroll.

In each of the mountains ahead sat wooden houses, surrounded by patches of golden wheat, and the winding hedged paths that connected them, and the main passage below the mountain accompanied the river that flowed somewhere.

At this time, wisps of green smoke were rising from the simple house, which was proof that the people waiting at home were cooking. The winding paths are also lined with herdsmen carrying firewood or driving cattle and sheep.

"Meng'er, it's great here, isn't it?"

"Yes, father. I nodded firmly, but when I noticed my father's expression, I could clearly feel that there seemed to be some regret in his eyes, which was not an emotion that I could understand at the time.

As if noticing that I was looking at him, my father quickly put on that expression that was excited all the time.

"We're going back soon, too. Looking at the stars that have already appeared in the sky as the sun sets as the sun sinks into the mountains, "It's going to get dark soon." ”

"Most importantly, we can't keep your mother waiting for us too long. ”

My father let me down and motioned for me to go on my own, while he picked up the boar and ran slowly, and I trotted after him.

After a little trotting, my father began to hum a song, which was not pretty, but I listened to it a little intoxicated......

As I began to catch my breath as we climbed one mountain road after another, we finally arrived at the trail that led to our home before dark.

In the distance, my mother seemed to have spotted us, and played the jade flute in her hand, and the high, distant sound of the flute washed away the exhaustion of my body just by hearing it.

Hearing the sound of the flute, I ran towards my mother with all my might, and after passing through the fence, my mother had stopped playing and opened her hands, and I did not hesitate, and happily threw myself into my mother's arms.

"I'm back, Mom!"

My mother, who was accustomed to me doing this, stroked my head gently, while I was coquettish in my mother's arms.

"It's been a hard day, go wash your hands, and get ready to eat. ”

This woman, who is gentle, beautiful, and elegant and indifferent at all times, is my favorite mother.

"Yes!"

......

The picture turned, it was a starry night, and the location was my small courtyard, and there were many people in this small courtyard at this time.

"The banquet has begun!" shouted as the father shouted, and the people in the courtyard also reveled.

A few days ago, my father hunted a big wild boar, so today I invited acquaintances from the village to gather together, and my uncles and aunts also brought some vegetables, fruits and wine.

The adults talked about the adults, and we children sat on the side waiting for the adults to feed us.

To be honest, I can't wait, after all, my father's barbecue is not eaten at any time, and I can't stop swallowing just thinking about it...... But! I'm going to hold back! I'm going to hold back!

If you want to ask why, it's probably because Uncle Yang, who has been very good with my father recently, often says that when I grow up, he will marry his daughter, the girl who is now sitting next to me, to me, and my father often agrees very happily, and imagines a lot of things like this, which makes me a little nervous every time I see Yusu.

"The little ones must be hungry, so eat them. "While I was thinking, my father brought the roasted meat to our little table.

"Thank you, Uncle Ling. ”

"Thank you, uncle. ”

"Well, you're welcome, eat it while it's hot. ”

"And then Yusu, because I know that you don't eat chili peppers, so my uncle helped you put some plum sauce. ”

"Thank you, uncle. ”

"You're welcome, Ling Meng should eat quickly, pay attention to your demeanor." My father shook his finger at me and left with a smile.

And I had a bitter face, and although I liked it very much, I could only eat it cautiously and gracefully.

And Yusu on the side seemed a little unclear, probably she didn't know that she would marry me in the future, so she smiled and said goodbye to me when she left, woo...... What to do, my heart is beating so fast...... So fast......

......

"Uh......" With the pain of piercing his heart, Ling Meng woke up from his dream.

Although the sound was not very loud, the sound Ling Meng made when he woke up was still heard by the people outside the door.

Pushing open the door of Ling Meng's room, a waiter walked in, and he came straight to Ling Meng.

"You're awake, do you need something to eat?"

Ling Meng, who had just woken up from his dream, looked at the unfamiliar ceiling and confirmed that his broken but relatively comfortable body had survived again...... Why haven't you died, father...... Mother......

"Can you hear me?"

Because of that sentence...... Because of that agreement...... So I'm struggling to this day...... Since he didn't die, he had to continue to struggle to live...... Turning his head with difficulty, he looked at the tall man next to him, "Thank you...... You...... Saved...... I. ”

"Don't thank me, it's not me who saved you, I'll go get you something to eat, just lie down here." Thinking that yesterday the lord had instructed him to take good care of the little boy, the waiter could not help but sigh at the good luck of the boy.

Because Ling Meng's body was very weak, the waiter had to feed him spoonful by spoonful, and soon the bowl of melon porridge was finished.

"Have you eaten enough?" Ling Meng nodded. "I'm going to talk to the adults, and if you're sleepy, get some more sleep. ”

Looking at the departing waiter, Ling Meng was indeed quite sleepy, but he couldn't just fall asleep, it was obviously more important to confirm the surrounding environment than to sleep.

It's hard to move your hands and feet, let alone stand up, even sitting up is a problem, and there are a lot of bandages on the part of your feet, and you can smell a faint smell of medicine from time to time.

Turning his neck, he was greeted by a fireplace with charcoal burning red, and some small wooden carvings on the wall next to it, and some bows and arrows......

It was just a slight movement, but he was tired, panting and Ling Meng closed his eyes...... Just as he felt like he was about to fall asleep, the door opened again, and in came a man who looked rather rugged in the uniform of a large housekeeper.

After entering the door, the man took a stool and sat next to Ling Meng, looking at the child who was still dirty yesterday. After cleaning yesterday, it is now clean, but there is no expression on the clean face, and only a faint sadness can be seen in the clear eyes.

"I feel okay, I'm still very weak, but I'm glad I don't have anything else to do. After staring at each other for a moment, the man spoke.

"Thank you...... Saved me. I ......" After saying me, Ling Meng was stuck, and he could feel that he couldn't bring anything to the man, let alone give the man.

"Do you have any relatives?"

"No...... ......"

The man heard Ling Meng's boundless sadness from Ling Meng's slightly trembling accent, and reached out to slowly help him straighten his slender and messy hair, "Don't worry, since I saved you, it will let you live in peace." ”

However, he found that Ling Meng's expression hadn't changed much when he heard his assurance, and his heart had been frozen......

"Can you tell me what happened to the blood on your clothes?" After a moment of silence, the man asked about what he cared about.

Ling Meng nodded, and slowly told the man what happened during this time, originally the man didn't plan to ask Ling Meng why his parents died now, but he didn't expect that that was the beginning of all Ling Meng's misfortunes.

First of all, the war broke out in his hometown, his father's life and death in the resistance are unknown, and the various events he experienced in the escape with his mother are also very real, those things that make people feel frightened and angry when they think about it, and finally the villagers who fled together are scattered, and finally his mother also died of exhaustion in the months of fleeing, just outside the small city on the border of the Tianfrost Empire, probably because she felt that the son who was accepted by the old farmer had been saved, but that was only the beginning of another tragedy, and it was not long before the old farmer never returned to his own home, and a few days later the landlord took the news that he had died in the city and sold him to human traffickers...... Listening to Ling Meng's words, the man pinched and loosened and pinched and clenched many times, until he heard Ling Meng say that he used a knife to kill all the traffickers who stayed behind and escaped, while breathing a sigh of relief and amazed at his small and broad determination, it can only be said that it is really unimaginable.

After listening to Ling Meng's long experience, the man himself couldn't be suppressed, and he couldn't even say words of comfort, but he had already made some kind of decision in his heart......

At this moment, there was a knock at the door, "My lord, Duke Snow is waiting for you." ”

The man realized that a long time had passed, and it was time to leave, "Okay, I see." ”

"Your name?"

"Ling Meng. ”

"Ling Meng, is it...... I don't say that right, but I'm going to tell you anyway. You have to live! You have to live! It is precisely because of all those hardships that you should understand the preciousness of life! Even if it is not for yourself! But for the sake of your deceased parents, you must also live! So now is not the time for you to despair, and you have not escaped from the wicked because of your mother's vow?"

"I see in you that there is something possible, and I want it to blossom and bear fruit. So, are you going to come with me? Be my adopted son......"

You have to live! You must live! You are the future of me and your father! No matter how difficult and painful it is, to live as our child, you promise me! Promise! Promise...... These were Ling Meng's mother's last words to him before she died.

"I ...... I ......" bean-sized tears flowed from the eyes of unknown confusion and pain.

"Ahh "Also, he just lost his parents," and then you want to come with me, after that, would you like to come with me?"

"If you don't want to, I'll arrange for someone here to raise you. ”

"Are you going to follow me, or are you going to stay?"

The time he had seen this man was very short, less than half a day, but Ling Meng was infected by the power in his words.

"What if...... I...... If you can......"

"Believe in yourself, you can do it. ”

At that moment, Ling Meng's heart had the kind of emotion that he had to give everything for......
