Chapter 4: For the sake of my mother
Although Xiao Yan rejected his proposal again, Xiao Wan naturally wouldn't give up so easily.
"Yan'er, your father is usually so busy, if your mother wants to help him." Her tone seemed to be coquettish with her own children.
She tried to convince her young son:
"Yan'er, look, your father usually has to deal with all kinds of affairs in the clan, so he's so busy. My mother wants to help him, too. ”
"Yan'er, you don't want to see your father too tired, do you?"
Xiao Wan looked at her child and told him bitterly about her purpose, hoping that he could understand his difficulties.
"Is Dad usually busy?" After hearing his mother's words, Xiao Yan asked knowingly.
"Of course it's busy." Hearing her son's question, Xiao Wan replied.
"Although your grandfather is the patriarch of the Xiao family, he usually trains outside."
"Your second uncle and younger uncle are also with your grandfather."
"Your father is the eldest brother, and he is responsible for many things in the family. Not only that, but he also had to find time to cultivate every day. ”
"All said, can your father not be busy every day?"
"If you go to school, your mother will have time to help your father."
Xiao Wan explained the reason why she wanted Xiao Yan to go to school, hoping that he would agree to her proposal.
However, after listening to his mother's words, Xiao Yan replied, "Aren't there still so many elders? It would be nice to let them help their father. ”
After listening to her son's words, Xiao Wan said:
"Naturally, the elders have elders' affairs to deal with."
"Then you can also ask other clansmen to help," Xiao Yan replied.
"There are so many people in the family, and there is no shortage of you", Xiao Yan looked like he didn't eat oil and salt.
Hearing that her son was messing around there, Xiao Wan had no choice but to change the reason and said:
"Okay, even if you don't help your father, your mother will have to cultivate herself."
"Yan'er, are you right?"
However, Xiao Yan pretended to be empathetic and said to her, "Mother can accompany Yan'er to cultivate together." ”
Sometimes, Xiao Wan really feels that she has no way to take this son.
He was gifted, clever and clever from an early age, and not as mischievous as his two older brothers.
Moreover, since he was a child, he was very sensible, and no matter what he was taught, he learned very quickly.
But you can say that he is obedient, and sometimes he is extremely stubborn, and even feels more than the elders of the race.
Did he really not understand the truths he said just now? Xiao Wan didn't believe it.
He was clearly pretending to be crazy and stupid.
But I can't do anything about him.
Xiao Wan thought, maybe, when he is a little older, it will be better.
……
Is Xiao Zhanping busy? Yes.
Doesn't Xiao Yan know? Of course I do.
Xiao Yan knew that his mother also needed time to cultivate, and he also knew that pestering her all day long would take up a lot of his mother's time.
But he's not playing petty, he's not messing around, but he has a reason to do it:
He must save his mother.
According to the original evidence, his mother died when he was four years old, but the reason is unknown, and the specific time is unknown.
Since he didn't know what the specific cause of his mother's death was, he didn't know anything other than that she would die when he was four years old.
He found that his mother was in good health, and she did not look like she had any illness at all.
Moreover, there are not only doctors but also alchemists in this world, and it is too unlikely that some ordinary diseases will cause her death.
So, the most likely explanation is that there was an unknown accident that led to the death of the mother.
Xiao Yan didn't know what the accident was, and he didn't know exactly when it would happen.
It could be death on the spot, or it could be a serious death.
It may be after the age of four, or it may be before the age of four.
He didn't even know.
Therefore, for Xiao Yan, in order to save his mother, what he can do is to tie her firmly to his side and try to avoid all kinds of possible accidents.
Let the mother stay in the family, in this relatively safe place, until she turns five.
In this way, the tragedy of the mother's death should be avoided.
Therefore, Xiao Yan made the decision to let his mother teach him. And he won't compromise no matter what.
Of course, it's not easy to do this. Splashing and rolling, pretending to be crazy and stupid, are all common operations.
But he had no choice.
If, knowing that the mother who gave birth to him was likely to die, he couldn't do his best to save it.
So even if your achievements are limitless in the future, even if you can become a Dou Di, what's the point?
……
There were seven provinces in the Gama Empire, each with dozens of large and small cities. There are many towns and villages scattered around each city.
This is the general system of governance of this empire.
Utan City, where the Xiao family is located, is located on the edge of the Demon Beast Mountain Range.
Because of its geographical location in the back of the Warcraft Mountain Range, Utan City barely made it into the ranks of the big cities of the empire.
Of course, it's just at the bottom.
Because of the existence of Xiao Lin, a strong fighting spirit, coupled with dozens of great fighting masters, in this Utan City, the Xiao family can be regarded as the undisputed overlord.
The other big families in Utan City, even if they join forces, are not the opponents of the Xiao family today.
However, even if they have the strength to become the overlord of the soil in Utan City, it does not mean that the Xiao family can wait for death.
After all, in the entire Gama Empire, there are not a few forces that can crush the Xiao family. Sitting on the mountain and eating empty has never been something that a family should do.
In this world of the jungle, one carelessness is the end of the extinction of the dead race.
Constantly becoming stronger is the law of survival in this world.
The Xiao family, backed by the Demon Beast Mountain Range, naturally had to make good use of the resources in this endless mountain range.
For example, the Magic Core.
The Demon Core, in this Douqi Continent, is also known as the Demon Crystal. As the name suggests, this is a kind of energy crystal nucleus in the body of the demonic beast, which is filled with extremely violent heaven and earth energy.
Although the furious energy in the demon core cannot be directly absorbed, it is an indispensable main material for alchemists when refining medicines.
The demon core that has been refined by the alchemist can be neutralized by some magical medicinal materials and turn into an extremely coveted pill by countless people, and its value suddenly skyrockets!
Moreover, the magic core can also be blessed on the weapon.
Weapons that have been blessed with magic cores will not only have better destructive power, but also have the alluring effect of increasing fighting spirit, which is highly sought after by cultivators of all levels.
Of course, in addition to weapons, magic cores can also be blessed on armor and other items.
With the blessing of the magic core, the armor can have a stronger defense, which makes people more protective of their lives in the face of danger.
The magic core has always been a scarce resource.
After all, although the number of low-level demonic beasts is relatively large, the probability of producing magic cores is very low.
High-level demonic beasts, not to mention the scarcity of numbers, their powerful strength is enough to make most people daunted.
However, even so, the existence of the magic core has created a large number of mercenary groups that specialize in hunting and killing demonic beasts for a living.
Xiao Lin, the patriarch of the Xiao family, took the children of the Xiao family to form a mercenary group, which roamed the Warcraft Mountains all year round.
However, hunting for magic cores has never been an easy task......
