Chapter 3 An Ordinary Mother and Son

The sun went down and night fell.

The mist that rises like a sea of ​​clouds envelops the entire valley, and it looks as dark as a corner of the sky from a distance.

"—the wind won't disperse, and the lamp won't wear."

This is the legend of the world about this valley shrouded in mist all year round, and it is also the origin of the village's name "Yanyu".

"Mom, I'm back!"

Xiaobai returned home before the fog started, opened the door, and shouted to a woman in the house who was planting rice and cooking.

During the day, the mist surrounds the mountain road outside the valley, and naturally has no effect on the inside of the valley; at night, it is so thick that you can't see your fingers.In order to avoid losing their way, the villagers of Yanyu Village are also used to going to bed early and not going out at night when they have nothing to do. They also strictly forbid their children to run around at night and be called home early.

"Yubai, sit down quickly, the village head gave us two catties of meat, I'll make soup for you to nourish your body."

The woman looked at her son who came back, and shouted with a smile, and brought a large bowl of golden broth from the kitchen that had been prepared long ago.

"Mom, I'll put the fish in the bucket first."

Before he finished speaking, the little leg quickly ran to the kitchen and put a few fat fish in the bucket to raise them.In this way, it will be fresh to eat tomorrow, and then pick up a bowl from the cabinet and go out.

"Yubai, this is a village rule. Every child who wants to awaken his martial soul must eat enough for the first three days. The ancestors said that only when they are full will they have the strength to awaken a good martial soul. Do you want the old Do the ancestors think that I, the elder, can't give the younger generation a full meal?"

After watching her son come out with a bowl, the woman knew what he wanted to do.

Every elder of a sensible child will feel gratified, but at the same time may be very helpless. For example, her son is very sensible... very simple... Ever since the village head saw them picking some fruits when he was three years old, he told these children " Good children should honor their elders", and then they really began to give her everything.

How did you believe it?Obviously the village chief's own grandson doesn't believe it?
"Mom needs to eat too."

Xiaobai said while pouring the soup, and put the bowl in front of the woman after making sure that there were equal amounts on both sides.

The woman didn't move her mouth, she couldn't help but sigh softly.This matter is not a day or two, and she also knows that if she does not finish drinking, her son will not drink.But looking at the son who really didn't speak, the woman still said quite dignifiedly: "Mom is not sick, it's just that her feet hurt occasionally. You have to finish drinking these, and you can't break the rules of the village."

200 years ago, the first village chief established Yanyu Village here, fearing that there would be spirit beasts to harass the villagers, so he killed them!Since then, more than half of the soul beasts in the mountain have disappeared, probably because they were afraid of being killed, and the rest also hid in the depths of the forest.Therefore, most of the prey that the villagers can hunt now are wild beasts. The real soul beasts need to be led by the soul masters in the village to go deep to catch them.

"It must be because you are too weak, Mom. The village head and grandpa said that the village is full of water vapor, and my mother's bones are weak and she can't eat enough to hurt her feet."

Xiaobai is also stubborn. Grandpa is the oldest old man in the village, so he must be right.

The woman shook her head when she heard it, and if she continued to listen, in less than two years, she might be the one who needs to be taken care of.

"Mom doesn't need a bowl of broth, but Xiaobai needs you. Mom also knows a few words and has read the books in the village. Xiaobai, you have always been very sensible. Mom will always be your mother, so drink quickly Let's go~"

The woman said softly, rubbing her son's head lightly, as if to comfort her.

"Grumble~"

Xiao Bai seemed to be stunned, picked up the bowl and drank vigorously.

After drinking, her face turned slightly red with a little more blood.

"Master Shui Ling gave you this fish, right?"

Seeing this, the woman asked with a smile, she has been married into Yanyu Village for almost ten years, and she has also heard about the legendary Shui Ling in Yanyu Village.

Legend has it that the first village head was once the captain of a famous adventure team in the mainland. Because the situation in the mainland was chaotic at that time, many small forces, cities and even villages were affected.The village chief and his team members wanted to take the people in their village to hide, so they looked around for a place of seclusion.

One day, the village chief came to a valley and found that the lake in the valley was mysterious, and a strange soul beast was born, named Shuiling.

After the village chief made an agreement with Shuiling, Yanyu Village was established here.

"···Um!"

Xiaobai was a little dazed, and nodded after hearing it, but he seemed to have forgotten what happened before.

The fish in the lake are very difficult to catch, except for the silly fish that occasionally fall from the waterfall and will be hooked, even the old man can't catch a single fish in a few days.If Master Shui Ling in the lake hadn't thrown the fish to his feet, how could he have brought three big fish home?He didn't even have the strength to pull it up.

The woman was not surprised. Similarly, it was not a day or two. She seriously told her: "Yubai, you must remember your name, and you must also remember that you have two mothers. One is me, take my surname." Fang; the other is Master Shui Ling, the name Yubai is also because Master Shui Ling sent you to the village with the fish in the water, and it has been silently guarding you."

"Mom, I have two mothers, many grandfathers, many uncles, many brothers and sisters. Everyone in the village is my relatives, and I will protect the village well."

Xiaobai nodded heavily and said with a smile on his face.

Yes, he is not a native child in the village, but an abandoned baby.He knew this a long time ago, and it was his mother and the village chief's grandfather who told him.

Seeing this, the woman felt both relief and sadness in her heart. This child was smarter and more sensible than she thought.

"Yubai, it will be a big day for you to awaken your martial spirit soon. It's a pity that we are not native villagers of Yanyu Village."

Soul masters are the most noble existences in the mainland, and children born with soul power are the darlings of heaven and earth!

However, "It's rare for a poor family to have a noble son", although this sentence is not pleasant, it is very reasonable.

I don’t know how many years have passed since the appearance of the martial soul and its inheritance. Those who have inherited a powerful martial soul have established a powerful family, sect, or even a country, while those who have become ordinary people have weak martial souls, and many of them are still A useless waste martial soul.

This is very real and very hopeless, the awakened martial soul is mostly doomed from birth.The descendants of noble sects are naturally among dragons and phoenixes, while ordinary people are one in a hundred who possess innate soul power. It is not uncommon for the village to have no soul master for more than ten years or decades.

Her son has been thinner and smaller than other children since he was a child, so it's okay if he is outside.But in Yanyu Village, my son can't go out to make a living. Apart from doing some chores like girls, he can't go hunting in the mountains like the boys in the village.The woman is very worried!Worried that his son would be looked down upon by the villagers!

Xiaobai comforted: "Mum, don't worry! I am a child protected by Master Shui Ling, and I will definitely have soul power."

The woman didn't say anything, just smiled.No one can be sure of the soul master, maybe she also thinks that her son is so special, maybe he will be a genius soul master!

"If Yubai becomes a powerful soul master, remember to promise mother that he will not learn from those nobles."

"why?"

Huzi once told him that after he became a powerful soul master, he would go to the battlefield to make contributions, obtain the imperial title, and then pray to the king for a piece of territory.At that time, the territory will be chosen in Yanyu Village, and they will lead the villagers to build Yanyu Village into a city that belongs to them, so that they won't have to live such a simple life in the future!
From this point of view, becoming an aristocrat should be a very good thing.

"There is no reason, listen to my mother, those nobles outside are a group of blood-sucking monsters, who specialize in sucking the blood of ordinary people like us. Even if Yubai can become a soul master in the future, mother also hopes that you, Yubai, can stay in Yanyu Village."

The woman's tone was a little heavier, and she looked at her son with a more serious expression than before.

"Good mother, I will always stay in the village."

Xiaobai obediently replied, anyway, mother is doing it for his own good, and he also likes the village.

But I still feel strange, there are seven or eight soul masters in the village, and there have been strong men like the soul king and soul emperor before, why don't they lead the village to become rich?Why not accept the subsidy from Wuhundian?Why did those people stay in the village?

He was very puzzled, wouldn't becoming a soul master be like what Huzi said, go outside and leave a great reputation?

"However, mom, if I have the soul power to become a soul master, can mom call me Xiaobai?"

Forget it, if you don't know it, you don't know it!
"Hehe~ Why do you like me calling you by a puppy-like name? If it wasn't my mother who insisted on calling you Yubai, but calling you Xiaobai like everyone in the village, you might even forget that your name is Fangyu What about Bai!?"

"Because it's more friendly to call like this!"

"Hehe~"

……

[It's not that I deliberately blackmailed those empires and nobles, but anyone who has read history knows that nobles and families all over the world are basically like this.The aristocratic system in Europe, and the first-night rights of disgusting people; the slavery system in Africa is serious, and it can be said that people are not like people, but just goods; China also knows that there have been so many dynasties... ·····
But in the Douluo Continent, wealth and resources are polarized. When the original Wuhun Temple entered its heyday, the empire's attitude towards commoner soul masters can be reflected in the various aspects of the Soul Master Academy.Even if the Shrek Academy of the protagonist group is like this, I really have no confidence in the other academies to believe that they are friendly and fair.

In fact, it's not just wealth, the power division is even more serious, and the people here don't even have the ability to revolt.That's why I can explain why there are so many nobles who committed suicide, but only one Wuhun Hall dared to rebel after so many years.If it is placed on the land of China, more than ten countries will be changed. 】
