1st Street No. 1 Middle School. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

"Ding Ding ......"

The alarm bell rang, and the boy opened his eyes and glanced at the sky, where the sunset was approaching dusk. He hurriedly stood up, rubbed his legs, which were slightly numb from meditation, and quickly rushed home with his schoolbag on his back.

Li Mofan's home is located at the corner of the 12th Street in the China District, which is relatively close to Qinling Mountain and belongs to the slum area, and because his parents are workers in the No. 9 Mining Area of Qinling Mountain.

Strictly speaking, Li Mofan's parents are not his biological parents, but his adoptive parents. It is said that they were picked up from the mountains when he was less than a year old. Discarding his parents, a pitch-black stone was placed on him with his name engraved on it. And his adoptive parents' surname is Xu, and he has a sister who is two years younger than him, named Xu Qianye.

Li Mofan often had the same dream, in which a man kept carrying him over the mountains and running on his back. It seems that what to look for, or what to hide, he doesn't understand. The man has thick stubble and bright eyes, and when his eyes are wide open, there seems to be a multicolored lotus flower blooming inside.

I wake up every time I come here. Li Mofan sometimes thinks that the person in the dream should be his biological father, otherwise he wouldn't have been running with him on his back like that, on which person's back, he was so quiet and so safe.

But why did he abandon himself? Maybe it's a last resort. When Li Mofan thinks like this, he will be able to feel quiet in his heart, and he will be able to read and enlighten the Tao by pressing his heart.

Since the Taoist hermit rescued humanity from destruction and set up five energy arrays in the human area to protect humanity, cultivation has become a matter of course, and only cultivation can make people strong and fight against the ferocious monsters outside the reserve, as well as the alien races in the sea.

Li Mofan thought as he ran, over the years, he had been following the instructions of that mysterious person, constantly absorbing energy to purify cells, but he never felt the slightest change in his body, as if those energies had flowed away after passing through his body.

Could it be that there is something wrong with his cells, but he secretly went to the hospital for a check-up, and there is no problem at all, just like a normal person, so where did the energy he absorbed over the years go?

That's a problem.

You must know that the college entrance examination is not only a cultural course, but now there is also a martial arts course, and it is a compulsory course, accounting for 60% of the total score, that is to say, if you fail the martial arts course, the college entrance examination will be useless. However, if he wants to pass the martial arts class, it is the most basic to pass the casting, what should he do?

Every time he thought of this, Li Mofan felt very depressed.

It is important to know that the college entrance examination is very important to him. Of course, although it is after the Great Destruction, the college entrance examination is as important as before the Great Destruction, or even more important, and it is the dream of teenagers and girls. Whether it is to protect the family and defend the country, or to soar to prosperity, or to shine on the lintel, to be promoted to become rich, the college entrance examination is the only way to go, and there is no second choice.

However, for Li Mofan, the college entrance examination is more significant. First of all, his sister Xu Qianye needs treatment because of congenital deficiencies, otherwise she will not live to be eighteen years old. However, the treatment cost required for treatment is high, and this is not counting, but more importantly, it needs perfect energy crystals.

Nengjing, that's a real treasure after the great destruction, it's priceless, it's not something that can be bought with money, it takes strength to fight for it, and strength is cultivation.

How could he be stuck here, absolutely not.

Thinking to himself, he soon arrived at the door. Li Mofan is a very self-disciplined person, he gets up on time at five o'clock in the morning to exercise, goes home to cook at night, meditates until twelve o'clock after eating, and during the day in class, he will write down every word the teacher says in his notes, and then silently review in his heart.

As the old saying goes: If you read a book a thousand times, it is better to read it manually. This is Li Mofan's memory.

Therefore, he can always remember and comprehend the meaning before others, so his cultural class is very good and deeply loved by Mr. Jiang.

When Li Mofan returned home, it was dark, but there was still no light in the house, so it could be seen that his sister had not come back yet. Needless to say, parents must still be working hard at this time. Xu's father is a worker in the No. 9 mining area, who starts work at 6 a.m. every morning and sweats in the 100-meter-deep mine until 8 p.m., no matter whether the weather is sunny or rainy.

Li Mofan knows that his father is very hard, so he is very sensible and never spends money indiscriminately, because he knows that this is life.

After the Great Apocalypse, human life was extremely difficult, and the catastrophe knocked humanity back to primitive society. Nearly a billion people lost their lives in the disaster. In the decades that followed, monsters were rampant, aliens were rampant, and nearly three billion humans died. Sea levels have risen, many landmasses and cities have been submerged, and human settlements have shrunk to a tenth of what they were before the Great Destruction. In the end, it was the Taoist powerhouse Li Daozong who desperately resisted and strengthened the protection array to save mankind from the fate of extinction.

In that battle, Li Daozong, who was regarded as the god of martial arts, died.

As a result, human beings have ushered in a new life, and everyone who is alive cherishes life, they work hard, build cities, research and technology, innovate medicine, and the world opens up a new situation.

――――――――

"Click......" Li Mofan opened the door and put down his schoolbag, and after drinking water, he began to busy cooking. The family lives in a low-rent house in the far corner of the mining compound, a 53-storey building with eight households on the first floor, and no elevator.

You can see the whole home at a glance, and I don't know how many years the old-fashioned sofa at home has been used, since Li Mofan can remember, it has been very dilapidated, and now it is almost facing a strike. However, the family simply did not have the extra money to buy a new sofa. Dad works hard every day for a month and has a salary of 2,000 yuan, my sister's medicine can't be broken, half of the medicine cost is spent, and the remaining half has to pay tuition and the family's living expenses, which is already very tight, and there is still money to buy furniture.

Xu's mother is a cleaner in the mining chief's house, doing laundry, cooking, and cleaning every day, and she is busy from 6 a.m. to 8 p.m. in exchange for a low-rent house of less than 30 square meters.

A family of four is crammed into a 30-square-meter house, freezing terribly in winter, unable to sleep in summer, people coming and going in the corridor, noisy and crowded, this is Li Mofan's home.

But the family was still happy, and they were much luckier than those who died in the Great Destruction. They are much better off than those who can only sleep on the road, so be content. These are the words that Xu's parents often use to educate their two children.

Mo Fan and Chiba are very sensible, they know the situation at home, the two children work very hard, and Xu's parents are no different to the two children, they are treated as their own children, which makes Li Mofan very happy, and at the same time, the responsibility on his shoulders has become greater.

Xu's parents are most worried about their daughter's illness, which is also the biggest worry of the family, and all this is pinned on Li Mofan, her sister is sick and can't cultivate, if she can't cast her body anymore, then how can the family's hope be realized?

Li Mofan dreams every day, the family moved into a high-end community, there are greenery, fountains, all kinds of flowers and plants, their family also has a big house, he and his sister parents can have their own rooms, parents don't have to get up early every day to work in the dark, they can stay at home and watch stereoscopic TV for a day, and their sister's illness has also been cured, they go to other regions together to see the development of the world.

Such a beautiful picture, I don't know how many times appeared in his dreams, and then when he woke up, he was still lying on the sofa, the night outside was still dark, there were no stars in the sky, the bare Qinling Mountains were in the distance, the machinery in the mine kept making a dull roar like a beast all year round, and his parents were sleeping on the floor, snoring tiredly from their mouths, dead and motionless. My sister slept in the only bedroom, and in the middle of the night she would make a slight gnashing of teeth because of the bone pain all over her body.

All this made Li Mofan very painful and helpless.

But he never gave up hope.

Li Mofan is fifteen years old and still grows up. My sister Chiba is also thirteen years old, and if she can't cure her sister's illness in another five years, she will leave this world forever.

They are his only relatives in this world, how can they lose, how can they give up, they can't.

Of course, there is another point, if he can't become a martial artist, there is no way to find his biological father, which is also the most important thing in his life.

It's a bit far though.
