Chapter 3: Yan Bing

Reiki Continent, Lingwu Empire, the edge of Bastan City.

At the foot of this mountain, there is a small village, and this humble little village has a nice name, Shuiling Village.

No one could have imagined that an ordinary small village would have such an elegant name. Probably because there is a stream that runs down from the mountain next to the village, I heard the old people of the village say that this stream has existed a long, long time ago, and this stream has always provided fresh water for the village, so the village was named Shuiling Village after this stream. There is another translation around the name of the village, that is, I heard that a long, long time ago, the village was often attacked by spirit beasts in the mountains, which brought a serious crisis to its existence. And when the villagers were about to be disappointed, they were rescued by a passing high-level water spirit master. Therefore, in order to thank this water girl reiki master, the people of the village named the village Water Spirit Village. There are various theories surrounding the name of the village, and no one can say which one is correct or not.

In front of the village is a large area of farming, and because of the existence of a small stream, the land is irrigated with a large amount of water, and the grain and vegetables produced here are exchanged for money in the city of Bastan in exchange for the supplies needed for the village. Although Bastan is not a big city, it is also an important gateway for nearby villages to exchange money. This also provided enough labor for the development of Bastan City, making Bastan City a very wealthy small city, because of the existence of Bastan City, so that the nearby villagers can also live a rich life.

Behind Shuiling Village are towering mountains, which also provide another way for Shuiling Village to survive, go up the mountain to hunt, which also makes the villagers of Shuiling Village live a very nourishing life, and also makes Shuiling Village a small village that is relatively wealthy in several nearby villages.

"Xiaoice, it's time to come back for dinner," I saw a man with long red hair and a pair of dark brown eyes shouting gently.

"Okay Daddy, I'll be back soon!" a little boy who looked to be only five or six years old was running fast through the mountains. Although he often runs under the sun and in the mountains and forests, Yan Bing's skin is still very white and tender, and there is no trace of exercise, which is whiter and tenderer than the skin of ordinary girls, and his short blue hair with his sky blue eyes gives people a cute and naughty feeling, although the clothes are simple, they are also clean and neat.

After Yan Bing heard his father's voice, he hurriedly ran home from the mountain.

"Xiaoice, have you gone to the mountains to exercise again?" said an old man on crutches with a charitable face to Yan Bing.

"Yes, village chief grandpa, why don't you come to our house for dinner today, my father's cooking is delicious," Xiao Yanbing said with a happy face.

"No, the village chief's grandfather won't go today if he still has something to do, you should go back quickly, otherwise your father will be in a hurry!" the village chief said to Xiao Yanbing with a smile. (The village chief is the most respected person in a village, and he is also a second-order water aura master)

"Okay, village chief grandpa, then I'll go home first, in a few days, village chief grandpa, you must come to my house for dinner, I'll ask dad to make something delicious to entertain you!" Xiao Yanbing looked at the old village chief with a pair of watery blue eyes.

"Okay, the village chief's grandfather will definitely go in a few days," the village chief looked at Yan Bing's big blue eyes, and felt that Xiao Yanbing was very cute, and couldn't bear to refuse the request of a five or six-year-old child, touched Xiao Yanbing's head, and said slowly.

"Grandpa the village chief, then I'll leave!" Xiao Yanbing ran home happily after speaking.

The old village chief looked at Xiao Yanbing, who was slowly moving away, and remembered an incident five years ago. It was a stormy night, that day because he participated in several village meetings, very unfortunate encountered such weather, resulting in himself so late has not returned home, the old village chief just arrived at the village gate to see a man fell to the ground, the village chief quickly ran to the man to see what was wrong, when he quickly walked to the man's side, he saw that the man was still holding a newborn baby in his arms, the most surprising thing to the village chief was that the man was covered with wounds and had been bleeding, but the child was indeed safe and sound, and it was pouring rain next to the baby not only did not have the slightest raindrops, but also fell asleep peacefully, which made the village chief feel the unfathomable depth of this strange man.

Originally, the old village chief wanted to leave, for fear of bringing harm to his village, but when he saw the lovely child in the arms of the strange man, he couldn't bear it, thinking that since he could protect his child desperately, such a person was not a wicked person.

"Hey, forget it, let's save him and the child back, besides, God has the virtue of a good life, and when his injuries are healed, let them go quickly, so as not to bring unnecessary trouble to the village!" said the village chief to himself.

After speaking, he was ready to pick up the child in the man's arms first, but he found that although he was not a strong man, he was a second-order water spirit master who was not as strong as a person who had passed out, which made him feel the horror of the man even more, but when he saw the cute baby in the man's arms, he could only carefully pick up the man and walk quickly to his residence............

When he returned home, he put the man on his bed, and then he quickly ran to the place where the man was lying just now, looking at the blood stains that had not been washed away by the rain, he quickly released his spiritual skills to clean the bloodstains, and repeatedly checked around the village several times, and finally returned to the house with peace of mind............

As soon as the sky was bright, a faint white of fish belly rose in the east in the distance.

"Wow wow" The baby's loud cry cried, and the man slowly opened his eyes, as if he was woken up by the baby's cry.

The man quickly looked around, and soon guessed that he should have been rescued by the local residents, and hurriedly went to coax the child in his arms, but no matter how much he coaxed, it was useless, which made him very anxious.

"The child should be hungry, give me goat's milk for the child, you feed him something!" the old village chief slowly walked in with a bowl and said.

"Who are you and why did you save us," the man said warily.

"Don't worry, I won't hurt you, I saved you all on the child's face, I don't want such a lovely child to die, and the medicine on the table that I boiled for you will drink it later, this medicine should be good for your injuries!" After the old village chief finished speaking, he slowly walked out, leaving only the man and his child.

After feeding your child, the child will stop crying. The man also took the decoction and drank it in one gulp.

"Give me my clothes when I was young, see if they fit, and throw away the rotten clothes on you. It wasn't long before the village chief walked in with another set of clothes and said to the man.

"Thank you for saving us, my name is Yan Hao, may I ask what I should call you" Yan Hao said gratefully.

"Just call me the village chief, give me the child to take care of it first, you go and wash it first," the village chief said with a kind face as he looked at the child.

"Thank you so much," Yan Hao said.

"By the way, what's the child's name?" said the village chief, hugging the cute child.

"Yan Bing, his mother got it" Yan Hao looked at the child and recalled the things that he didn't complain about.

"Yan Bing, what a good name, by the way, if you don't have a place to go, you can live in this village in the future, I will say to the people outside that you are my distant relatives, go small, Grandpa Yan Bing will take you out to bask in the sun" After speaking, he hugged Xiao Yanbing and walked to the yard.

The man listened to the words of the old village chief and felt that this was still very good, there was no need to take his children to live a hidden life everywhere, and the children might be able to grow up better here. The man looked at the child in the village chief's arms from the window gently, and a slight smile appeared on his face.
