Chapter 20: Warmth

In the back of the courtyard, Ryan was holding a piece of blue-striped stone in both hands and standing up, squatting down, breathing very steadily, as if it was effortless at all.

Alas, next time you must run faster, is it because you have been thinking about making money lately, and you have left your ability behind? Ryan thought to himself while holding the blue striped stone.

As Rifle thought, Ryan did these 100 squats without any effort, it was just a warm-up exercise. Ryan is also very strange, he is only five years old now, and he actually has more than two hundred catties of strength, and the green stripe stone he is holding right now, but it is only a hundred pounds, and it is indeed a fluttering store for Ryan, alas, it seems that Uncle Lai Fu has to change a green stripe stone for himself to train.

As for the problem of his own strength, Ryan can only attribute it to the fact that the people in this world are very strong, and he is just normal, this world even has fighting spirit, what is strange about having more strength?

A hundred squats were done quickly, and Ryan took a deep breath before washing his face before walking towards the hall in front of the backyard, where he could already smell the tempting scent.

In the hall, Laifu just set the dishes and chopsticks, and when he saw Ryan coming in, he was about to eat the food with his hands, so he couldn't help frowning: "Ryan, what did you forget?"

Ryan laughed and said, "Uncle, I just want to see if you have forgotten, ha, you really haven't!" Ryan withdrew his hand and obediently came to the corner of the hall.

In front of Lane is an incense case, on which a simple incense burner is placed, and on the wall of the incense case, there is a portrait of a young woman, the portrait is a typical oriental ink figure painting, the woman in the painting is smiling indifferently, as if the world is beautiful in her eyes.

Ryan stared at this portrait, his nose was slightly sour, this beautiful woman was the mother of his life! Although she didn't give Ryan too much, at least she gave Ryan life, so that Ryan could know that he was not an abandoned orphan, and that he had a mother, and that was enough.

Really, Ryan is a very easy person to satisfy, he had no father and no mother in his previous life, and although his mother died early in this life, he still has an Uncle Laifu who has always loved him, and he is already very happy.

Wiping the corners of his eyes, Ryan woke up from his thoughts, hurriedly picked up three incense sticks from the side, lit them, held them in his hands, and said to the portrait: "Mother, I'm back." Today I seriously exercised the task assigned by Uncle Laifu, and returned home safely, without causing trouble, and living well, mother, you don't have to worry! I'll eat first!" After speaking, Ryan put the incense on the incense burner, bowed again, and then came to the dining table and sat down.

The table is the most ordinary yellow wood table, and the stool is also an ordinary bench, and Ryan sits opposite Rifle.

"Uncle, can you eat?" Ryan looked at Laifu, deliberately showing a pitiful appearance that I was very hungry, combined with Ryan's black eyes and ruddy little face, it was very lethal.

"Let's eat, little ghost, what else are you selling?" Laifu said with a smile, well, the word selling cute was told by Ryan to him, he thought it was a term between their Oriental children, and he didn't care, but he didn't know that it was a popular word in another world. But it's really appropriate, Rifle always can't stand the lethality of Ryan when he sells cuteness.

"yes, let's eat!" said Ryan, cheering, doing what a child should do, and picked up the bowl of the sea in front of him and ate it, as if he was afraid that someone would snatch it from him.

Laifu shook his head and picked up his chopsticks to eat. Well, chopsticks, such oriental tableware, it took Laifu two years to get used to it, after all, he used knives, forks and cutlery from the Western continent for the past thirty years.

The dishes for dinner are very rich, full of a yellow wooden table, there are chicken legs, beef, greens, seven or eight dishes, the portion is very sufficient, Laifu is a big man of one meter nine, eat a lot naturally, Ryan is in a period of rapid growth and growth, and he eats no less than Laifu this adult.

Several large candles flickered, illuminating this small home, at the dinner table, a large and a small two people sat opposite each other, Laifu from time to time to pick up vegetables for Ryan to eat, and Ryan would also stand up and put the meat to his own Uncle Laifu to eat. Neither of them spoke, only the occasional smile, and then, the sound of eating. The dinner ended in a warm atmosphere.

After dinner, Rifle and Ryan sat in the open space in the backyard with an old man's bamboo chair, looking up at the stars, and they let out a full sigh at the same time, stroked their bellies, and laughed at the same time.

After looking at the stars for a while, Ryan asked Laifu who closed his eyes and pondered: "Uncle, what kind of person is my mother? Where is her cemetery, why don't we go to worship every Qingming Festival?"

Hearing Ryan's doubts, Laifu opened his eyes and said with nostalgia: "Your mother is the most beautiful and kindest woman in the world, and the greatest mother. As for her grave, I don't know...... Alas" ended with a deep sigh.

Ryan said "oh", his mother is indeed a very beautiful woman, much more beautiful than the so-called actresses in her previous life, and as for the greatest mother, of course. According to Uncle Laifu, his mother died because of dystocia, and there was only one life between himself and his mother at that time, and his mother did not hesitate to leave the chance of life to herself, isn't such a mother great?

Since the age of two, every day before eating, Ryan has to look at the portrait of his mother, tell her the joys, sorrows, sorrows and sorrows of the day, and tell her many things, so Ryan feels that, in fact, his mother has always been by his side, the beautiful Western woman named Adele. Therefore, Ryan actually has a deep affection for his mother in this life, as for his father, Ryan asked once, but the always gentle Uncle Laifu was so angry that he smashed the cup, bluntly saying that Ryan's father was a bastard, so Ryan would treat him as dead.

Since that time, Ryan hadn't asked about his biological father, although he was still curious, but since Uncle Laifu, who was closest to him, said that he was a bastard, then he must be a bastard, and even Ryan had imagined in his heart that it was a character like Chen Shimei he had heard of in his previous life.

Alas, could it be that his life in this life is actually a bloody drama that was often played on TV in his previous life? Ryan was a little sad and helpless.

Seeing that Ryan didn't speak, Rifle spoke: "Ryan, are you going to help Hall and them today?" He knew Ryan's actions, but he was happy to see it, kindness, this is not a bad thing.

"yes, they're all cute, they're all the same as me, and there's no one to help them, so I'm going to help them!" Ryan didn't feel like he was a kid at all saying that there was anything wrong with a group of kids being cute, and Rifle didn't find anything, he didn't have a child after all.

In fact, Rifle didn't understand what Ryan did, just because he had the same background, he went to help other children? Did he forget that he was also a child? But since Ryan did it, let him do it! As long as he likes it, as long as he is happy, he has lost enough, and without maternal love, maybe there is a group of friends who can make him grow better.

"Well, little ghost, you've been short of money lately, haven't you?" asked Rifle with a smile. Of course, he couldn't let Ryan do something he didn't know about alone, and he had to watch out for the danger and protect Ryan. Let's just say that the yard where Ryan placed the group of children was originally to be taken back by the government, and it was Rifle who bought it behind his back, so that Ryan could continue his "career" and save those poor children.

Rifle would give Ryan some pocket money every day, which was enough when Ryan first started to save the children, but as the number of children increased, it was definitely not enough. Laifu originally thought that Ryan should have asked him for help a few months ago, but he didn't expect this kid to open his mouth, he didn't know where to get the money, and he actually lasted for a few months.

Ryan heard Rifle's words, and hehe smirked a few times, but didn't answer.

Laifu looked at Ryan helplessly, and said in a deliberative tone: "How much money do you need, I'll give it to you, don't go to 'rob the rich and help the poor' like today, although those few family members don't have much strength, but what if they meet a master?

Ryan touched his head embarrassedly, it turned out that his Uncle Laifu knew everything, and he still thought that his secrets were well hidden!

In order not to worry Uncle Laifu, Ryan had no choice but to respond: "Okay, uncle, when can I learn to fight qi?" Although he agreed, Ryan took advantage of this to ask a question that he had wanted to ask for a long time. Dou Qi, that's a very powerful thing, Ryan once grinded Laifu to perform it once, I remember that the golden Dou Qi at that time actually penetrated a stone fifty centimeters thick in an instant, and the power was comparable to the laser weapon in his previous life!

"Learn vindictiveness? Well, two more years. Ryan, it's not that I don't want to teach you, it's just that you have to remember that just like building a house, the foundation is the most important. Only by laying a good foundation will your achievements be higher in the future, understand?" said Lai Fuyan.

In fact, in Laifu's opinion, Ryan's current body already meets the standard of learning Douqi, and he trains every day according to the training plan formulated by Laifu himself, plus Ryan's own private use of those special training methods in his previous life, it can be said that Ryan's body is not bad at all compared to those seven or eight-year-old children who have learned Douqi.

However, Laifu also wanted to make Ryan's foundation better, as the heir of that family, how could Ryan be an ordinary cultivator? He should be like the Great Peng, soaring above the Nine Heavens, proud of the world's powerhouses!

Ryan nodded seriously, of course he knew the importance of laying a good foundation, just casually asking.

"Well, now, it seems like it's time to take a bath, Ryan. Laifu suddenly said with a wicked smile. Ryan laughed and was about to run away, but was picked up by Rifle like a chick.

A quarter of an hour later, Ryan sat naked with a bitter face in a large wooden barrel, under the barrel was a raging fire, in addition to Ryan, there were many medicinal herbs that he couldn't name, well, he was taking a medicinal bath, this was one of the necessary homework every night, Ryan knew that it was very good for his body, but he couldn't stand the strange smell. So, Ryan tried to run away every time, but was caught by Rifle every time.

Every time Ryan takes this medicinal bath, he has a strange feeling that he has been stewed, but this is Uncle Rifle for his own good, and he can't refuse!
