Chapter 4 Huiji Xia

A large road paved with cinders, several wagons wide, pressed very solidly. In the quiet morning, countless red paint chimneys stood out among the black brick houses, and the narrow openings spewed out long-lasting, long-lasting black plumes, and the air was filled with the smell of burnt coal, the pungent smell of sour sweat.

The people on the road were shouting and swearing, and the rough men from the mines always had all kinds of rough voices and inexhaustible hormones. Neon signs twinkle around the walls of the house. Large, worm-like carts floated leisurely through the town's streets. The abundant ore excavated from Xiaohe Town was transported out.

The levitating stone is fixed under the large minecart car, replacing the vehicle and other means of transportation that travel on a fixed track while on Earth.

Like a shining pearl set in the Valley of Ashes, the City of Peaks is the heart of the entire Floating Island. The central part of the Valley of Ash is high, and the city of peaks is located at the highest point among the central peaks. With this as the midpoint, wide bluestone roads radiate like spider webs to every corner.

In the early morning, the red sun is rising, and the mountain road leading to the city of peaks is already noisy and full of people. Countless items, resources, and wealth flow into this place like flowing water.

There is a huge difference between the city of peaks and the surrounding terrain, and an S-shaped road around the mountain runs up the base of the mountain. The road is long, the road is long, as if it is the road to the sky. Charles' small figure galloped down the slope of the mountain not far from the main road. With his hands wide open, like a big bird, every time he landed under his feet, he immediately jumped up like a spring, and the wind was blowing under his feet, and he jumped several meters away.

It is said that when a Skywalker crosses the Triple Heavens, he can ignore the effect of gravity and use the power of Yuan Qi to fly freely and autonomously in the air.

The people walking on the main road saw Charles running down the hillside as if they were walking on the ground, but they didn't pay much attention. Most of the big people in the city of peaks have all kinds of unpredictable abilities, move mountains and reclaim the sea, call for wind and rain, and get used to seeing more.

After climbing the long slope and reaching the top, the view suddenly opens up.

In front of him, a huge flat land suddenly appeared, and endless layers of majestic palaces, pavilions, and buildings looked like a hill from a distance. Ignoring it, Charles quickly walked through the bustling palaces to a remote path and went deeper.

Huiji Xia Tong is one of the top ten families of the Huaxu Empire, with many affiliated families, and the mineral resources of the entire Ash Valley are extremely rich, which is an important resource to ensure the prosperity of the family.

Although the area of the City of Peaks is extremely vast, the lineage bloodline almost occupies the core areas such as the magnificent, luxurious and luxurious main city, the left city and the right city, and the side bloodlines on the edge are crowded into the edge corners of the city of the peaks.

Charles's surname is Xia, but he is in name only, and he is just one of the many illegitimate children of a big man in the Xia family, and he can't see the light and can't even be included in the family tree.

Soon, Charr's figure appeared in a small courtyard on the edge of the City of Peaks. The weeds are tall and wild, and the small courtyard on the edge of the mountain is desolate and devastated compared to the noisy main city not far away.

At the age of six, the diminutive Charles could only tiptoe on the latch. The door squeaked open, and Charles cautiously walked into the living room. When I came to the bedroom, the mother on the bed was still asleep with her head facing in.

Charles slowed down and walked slowly to the head of the bed, pulling open a drawer next to the bed to reveal a few coal stones scattered on several sides. Charles opened the bag in his hand, put the coal and stones he had picked up in the morning, and stacked them neatly one by one.

After putting it away, he retreated from the same way, and when he passed by the bedside, Charles glanced at it and saw his mother's hand on the quilt, and he was shocked. Charles shook the hands, and the rough and stiff felt as if he were holding an angular stone. The joints between the mother's fingers were unusually thick and large, and they were jagged and raised, covered with patches of cracked and hardened rough skin and calluses. And the whole palm has turned a faint purple-brown.

Charles's heart was sour, and he clenched his fists tightly with uncontrollable control. My mother didn't practice spells, let alone all kinds of superb and exquisite combat skills. When picking up coal, you can only bow down on the high gangue mountain, and the purple-brown color on the palm of your hand only indicates one thing, poisoning. The gangue mountain is scattered with all kinds of valuable coal and stone, but it is also full of various toxic gases, and the gangue is very easy to spontaneously combust. Death from inhaling too much poisonous gas due to accumulated work, or falling in a fire, is the ultimate fate of most coal pickers.

Charles was an orphan in his previous life, and in this life, he suddenly got a mother, and Charles didn't have any extravagant thoughts, but just wanted to take good care of her from the bottom of his heart. And because of him, my mother had a hard time. So, in this life, a little boy who is only six years old is already desperate to take care of an adult.

Charles walked out of the room heavily, cleaned up his mood, moved a small stool, cooked breakfast in the kitchen, and placed it at the head of his mother's bed. Then, Charles put on an iron basket that reached his heel, put on a yellow hard hat, checked the tools, and headed for the nearby mines.

Every family must have an economic pillar, and when the older generation falls, the younger one has to take over.

The door closes. After a long time, when Charles left, his mother, who was lying on the bed, suddenly had messy sideburns and trembled in pain. Jumping over the edge of the bed, she found that her left hand was tightly covering her whimpering mouth, her heart was like a knife, and tears were pouring down.

Charles is not an unknown boy, on the contrary, Charr's identity has a lot to do with a big figure in the Huiji Xia Unified Clan. However, in the world of the Sky Realm, where the weak eat the strong, there are as many illegitimate children of the strong as carp crossing the river. The Shire are nothing special.

Without an amazing cultivation talent, let alone a strong and reliable mother's strength, his mother was just a poor little maid who was bullied arbitrarily.
