An Ordinary Path to Immortality

As soon as he entered the house, Fang Ping shouted and quickly came to the house to check on his mother:

"Mom, Ping'er is back. I brought steamed buns and rice porridge. Wait a minute and I'll heat them up for you. They'll be ready soon."

In a simple mud house, a woman was lying on the bed. Although she was only in her thirties, her hair was gray, her face was covered with weather and wrinkles, and her complexion was sallow, her lips were black and purple, and her breathing was weak.

It seems that he may die at any time.

But even when he saw the woman in such a state, Fang Ping couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief in his young heart.

His mother was his only relative in the world, and he couldn't imagine how he would live after losing her. 33 novel network

"Ping'er, mother is not hungry. Come here first and mother will say a few words to you."

The woman spoke weakly, interrupting Fang Ping who was about to light a fire to cook.

Fang Ping didn't want his mother to see him covered in mud and footprints, and he didn't want her to worry, so he resisted and said, "Mom, please wait a moment. I'll put the porridge in the pot and go over."

While talking, he skillfully lit a fire and wiped the mud on his face, head and body as quickly as possible, trying to pretend to fall.

"Come here first. Mom will tell you a few words."

Fang Ping suddenly felt a knot in his heart, always feeling that something bad was going to happen.

But he still walked into the house obediently and stood in front of the woman's bed.

But the moment he entered the room, the woman saw it immediately.

"Did you meet Wang Jizong?"

Fang Ping, who wanted to lie and say that he fell, gave up the idea of ​​lying for no reason when he saw his mother's weakness and said:

"It's okay, Mom, it doesn't hurt."

If she was bullied in normal times, my mother would always find someone to argue with her immediately.

It's been like this since I can remember. Every time I was bullied, my mother would stand in front of the other person's door and scold the other person's family so much that they dared not go out.

As a result, no one in the village, except for the rich and powerful Wang Yuan, gradually stopped calling him a bastard, and children of the same age did not dare to bully him anymore.

Even if Wang's wife, the richest and most powerful member of the whole country, dared to bully her, her mother would still dare to come to her door with a kitchen knife and have a big quarrel with the Wang family.

But today, when the mother learned that her child had been beaten, she surprisingly did not show any anger.

She just looked up and down at her child with eyes a thousand times more loving and gentle than usual, as if she would never see her again after today.

"Ping'er, mother is leaving and I can no longer protect you.

In the future, if you are bullied alone, you must learn to tolerate it.

Take a step back and the world is brighter, don't be stupid and continue to fight with others when you can't win.

You must keep in mind the principle that a gentleman's revenge is never too late. "

The young man held his mother's cold hands tightly against his chest, tears already falling from the corners of his eyes.

He was young and matured early, and seemed to know that his mother was explaining his funeral arrangements.

"Mom, I don't want you to leave. I haven't grown up yet. I will make a lot of money in the future, buy the most beautiful clothes for my mother, cook the most delicious dishes, and find a hundred servants to serve my mother. ”

The woman smiled happily, took out her hand and gently stroked the boy's frostbitten face, and said, "Silly boy, how can I use a hundred servants by myself?"

"I don't care, I won't let my mother go, wuwuwu."

Fang Ping threw himself next to his mother's bed and started crying.

"Alas..." The woman sighed and said, "Mom doesn't want to leave either, and I can't bear to leave you."

Seeing that Fang Ping was still crying, the woman said softly: "Ping'er, get up. Haven't you always wanted to know who your father is? I'll tell you now."

I have fantasized about it countless times since I was a child, and I have quarreled with my mother because of it.

It can be said that he has always dreamed of having a father.

However, at this moment, he shook his head desperately: "No, I don't want a father, I want a mother, and I want my mother to stay with me all the time."

"Cough, cough, cough." The woman suddenly started coughing violently, which frightened Fang Ping to stop crying quickly, and helplessly patted his mother's back to calm her down.

After coughing for a while, the woman took a black wooden toad tied with hemp rope from her neck and put it on Fang Ping's neck.

I don’t know what kind of material the wood toad is made of, it’s dark and ugly, but it’s very textured.

Fang Ping's tears flowed faster. When he was a child, he couldn't even look at the wooden toad hanging around his mother's neck. This was the first time in so many years that he saw his mother take it off.

"Take this wooden toad and go to the north of Daliang to find your father. His name is Fang Hong. If he is still alive, he should be a general of Daliang."

Fang Ping asked in confusion: "Mom, isn't Daliang our enemy? Why is my father from Daliang?"

The woman nodded and explained: "Back then, your father and Daliang's troops invaded our Dazhou.

Later, Daliang was defeated, and your father was also injured and was chased by our Dazhou soldiers.

He ran to his mother's house, and it was her mother who saved him and helped him recover from his injuries, and then you were born. "

It was a very clichéd story, but it felt novel to young Fang Ping's ears.

In the woman's weak voice, the boy listened to their story in silence.

My mother was just an ordinary family in the border area between Dazhou and Daliang. Fang Hong recuperated here for two years. The two fell in love over time and even held a simple wedding.

Unfortunately, something unexpected happened when my mother was three months pregnant. The war between the two countries resumed. Soldiers from the two countries passed by and saw Fang Hong.

Fang Hong was picked up by Sergeant Liang Guo that day.

Before leaving, Fang Hong gave the woman a wooden toad and told her that she could take the wooden toad to Liang Guo to find him when the war was over.

But the day after Fang Hong left, a group of people broke into the village without any explanation and killed all the more than 100 people in the village, not even the children who were several months old were spared.

The woman was just missing her husband and went to a nearby mountain to relax, but she witnessed the massacre of the village with her own eyes.

Later, the woman took Fang Ping in her belly to live with her relatives in Wangjiagou. Not long after, her relatives also died of illness.

The mother and son depended on each other in Wangjiagou Village until today.

"Ping'er, you have to remember that even if you can't find your father, you must wear the wooden toad. It is not an ordinary wood carving. Your father said that it is a treasure of the immortal family and was given to your father by the immortal master. ”

Fang Ping wiped his tears and asked innocently: "Mom, are there really immortals in this world?"

"Yes, Mom has personally seen an immortal who can fly in the sky."

The mother still didn't say a word. She saw the immortal kill her parents with a flying sword with her own eyes.

"Mom, since the wooden toad is a treasure of the immortal family, can it save you? Is there an elixir hidden in it? Mom, wait for me, I will break it open and give you the elixir to eat."

In the innocent heart of the young man, the elixir is omnipotent.

As he said that, he was about to run out but was pulled by his mother.

"No, this is your only certificate to find your father. You must not destroy it."

"Yeah, okay!" The young man nodded silently, but his eyes rolled around: "Mom, wait for me here, and I'll see if the porridge is hot.

You would never guess that Aunt Xiuqin, who usually likes to quarrel with you the most, brought me a full bowl of rice porridge without saying a word when she heard that my mother was sick. "

As he spoke, he ran outside the house, put the wooden toad on the ground, took a stone and threw it on it.

He wanted to find the elixir, even if there was only one in 10,000 chance that there was an elixir in the wooden toad, he would still try it.
