I, the Heir of Heroes

——It is engraved in the bones, like a warrior who has experienced many battles.

"Good afternoon, Garosan."

Her stature is a bit stooped, but her mother-in-law, who works all the year round, is still healthy and healthy.Some dark old palms gently touched the top of Jia Luo's head, and the mother-in-law stared at Jia Luo with bright eyes and said hello.

With a slight nod, Jia Luo didn't refuse.

He can recognize the goodwill in it, he can see through a person's heart, and he can understand everything very simply.

This seems to be his innate ability.

With the creaking sound of the door being moved away, Jia Luo followed in the footsteps of her mother-in-law and accompanied Mu Jun in.

This is not his home, so even though he can come in and out at will, he still stubbornly stands outside the door until the master comes back.

"Hey, Jia Luo, where did you go today!"

There is a little smoke floating above the house, and the mother-in-law who has worked hard all day is busy in the kitchen for dinner as soon as she returns home.

Surrounded by mountains, the traffic is extremely underdeveloped.At the same time, it is not a short distance from the coast, so it loses the way to rely on seafood for development.Jia Luo knew that this place was very backward, but even so, life was far away from the old days of burning fire and cooking.

"I went there..."

Different from the youthful look, Jia Luo Gujing's impassive cheeks did not show any fluctuations.As if coaxing a child, he raised his slender arms and pointed out the window, pointing to the mountain peak standing far away.

It is a mountain range that divides the world like a barrier.

"Eh~ really?"

Looking in this direction, Mu Jun's tone was full of suspicion.

The young boy didn't know how far the mountain range was from here, but he knew that it would take nearly five days for her mother-in-law to go shopping in the outside world.

But Jia Luo only spent half a day...

Withdrawing his gaze again to the calm face, the answer he got again was a slow nodding motion.

Jia Luo didn't lie, he did go there on foot today and came back smoothly.It's just that it didn't take half a day as Mu Jun imagined, but shorter.

He knew what Mu Jun was thinking, but he didn't choose to explain and correct.

Making Mu Jun look happy, satisfying his curiosity is what Jia Luo thinks is his mission.

In order to repay his mother-in-law who took him in, Jia Luo responded to her inner expectation-stopped and stayed with Mu Jun.

This month's easy and easy-going time was something he had never experienced before.

Of course, headstrong and unquenchable curiosity are the prerogative of young children.The suspicion on his face just now was diluted and disappeared under the longing in his heart.Even though he has listened to his mother-in-law more than once, Mu Jun still hopes to learn more about the outside world.

"Hey, Garosang, what's the outside world like? Mother-in-law said there is a fast-moving tram. What's that like?"

The small body on all fours crawled nimbly in front of Jia Luo, staring directly at Jia Luo with eyes shining like stars, and Jia Luo couldn't bear to refuse to answer the expectation revealed by the window of the soul.

Jia Luo didn't know how her mother-in-law described the outside world, but in his eyes, that bustling place was not worth looking forward to.Restless, restless, false—people are chasing meaningless things.

It is not that there is no place of light, but it is nothing compared to the darkness that breeds it.

He who has never understood what a "white lie" is, he doesn't know how to respond to Mu Jun's curiosity.In Jia Luo's eyes, the pure and beautiful young soul should not be polluted by the colorful world outside.

He who has always been decisive and calm showed a hesitant look.

Fortunately, such an awkward atmosphere only lasted for a short time.

"Okay, Mu Jun, stop making trouble, go wash your hands and eat."

After dinner was ready, the mother-in-law who came out of the kitchen with the food relieved Jia Luo.

Putting the apron that he took off in his hands aside, Mu Jun pouted with a grievance on his rather stern expression.Standing up with a little temper, she walked towards the kitchen sink.

"It's really hard work for you, Garosang."

Obviously only a little bit older than Mu Jun, but the mother-in-law never seemed to treat him as a young and ignorant child.

Shaking his head slightly to express his indifference, Jia Luo didn't think it was a difficult matter.

Simple two dishes and one soup are placed on the small table.Although the cabbage and radish are repeated every day, the types of stewed fish change every day.

Adding very little seasoning, the breath of nature is accompanied by pure umami.

The only meaty food is Mu Jun's favorite food.

"I'm gonna start now!"

Imitating the actions of the two, Jia Luo picked up the bowl and chopsticks.Except for the initial prayer, the meal was very quiet, and he liked the peaceful atmosphere very much.

Time passed quietly in the anticipation of tomorrow.

After soothing the excited Mu Jun to sleep, the mother-in-law came to the wooden plank extending in front of the door according to the habit she had developed recently.There, a small figure sat alone, looking up at the night sky.

Free yourself.

Chapter 2 Anecdotes NO.[-] The Lingering Fear in That Eye

The moon is bright, the stars are rare.

In this natural and pure mountain, enjoying the coolness in the middle of the night is a good enjoyment.The fresh evening wind blows the thin clothes, and the slightly pale skin with moist water vapor.
