Half a month later...
The morning sun shines on the city built on the mountain. This is a large mountain ridge, one of the three largest cities in the Red Dragon Principality. It is located in a basin in the north of the Dragon Tooth Mountains. It is surrounded by mountains on both sides, with the water weasel branch of the Ambergris River passing by.
As far as the eye can see, most of the houses are made of wood and are located on the undulating hillsides. The yard in front of the house is full of plants, full of greenery, and there are flowers under the windowsill, giving it a leisurely and tranquil atmosphere.
There are three impressive towers in the city. In the Ying style, the foundation is made of large granite piles, and it is built in multiple floors. Each floor has cornices and golden toads on the roof. It is low-key and luxurious.
They are owned by the three major families in Dashanling, the Tsunaki family, the Inada family, and the Shiraishi family.
Looking from afar, there are many small mountain villages scattered around the city. Compared with the exquisite small attics in the city, the mountain villages are all thatched houses with mud and wood structures. There are no modern facilities in the village, and the level of civilization is very low. It seems that it is still in the era of slash-and-burn farming.
In a small mountain village to the north, in a dilapidated hut in front of a pond, a young peasant woman was scolding her child.
"You've been fighting all day long, your pencil case has been broken, and your clothes are torn. Do you still have the heart to study? Just like your damn father, he has no future!"
The boy sobbed and argued, "It's them. They said that daddy has found a woman outside and doesn't want us anymore..."
"Why are you crying? There is no future. Are they right? Your bastard father hasn't sent money to the family for several years. The family is almost in trouble. Does he still have this family in his heart? There is no mother and father yet. He is sure I raised a woman outside..." As he said this, the peasant woman suddenly let out a cry, sat on the ground and cried loudly.
"Damn it, you are trying to force us two to death! We agreed at the beginning that you would make money outside, and I would take care of my son at home. When I make money, I will go to the city to buy a building. The whole family will be happy... …”
"Mom, daddy won't let us go, no way!"
Mother and son hugged each other and cried.
Looking around, we can see that the house has only four walls, an iron pot and a small half bag of rice, a worn schoolbag scattered on the ground, and a few dirty elementary school textbooks. That's all the house has.
"Is this Niu Er's family?"
Suddenly, a strange man's voice sounded outside. The mother and daughter raised their heads at the same time and looked out the door warily. When a man is not at home, it is definitely not a good thing if a strange man suddenly comes to visit.
"Sister-in-law, I
It's a rat, do you remember? "The people outside did not come in rashly, but said outside.
"Rat?" The woman seemed to have remembered something, "Is it the rat from the Thunder Fire Group?"
"Yes, but we have changed our name now, called Thunder Light Group, Thunder Fire of Thunder, Bright Light, Thunder Light Group."
"Oh, it's a rat, come in quickly." The woman came out with a happy face, and then she saw a tall, thin man with a simple and honest smile. She remembered this man. Erniu followed him back then, saying he wanted to become a mercenary and conquer the world.
The man was carrying a large bag on his shoulder, probably some kind of souvenir. The woman smiled. No matter whether the things were valuable or not, the dead ghost finally remembered them.
"Thank you for coming all the way. Come in and have a drink of water."
"Hehehe..." Erdan smiled stupidly. With the news about dad, I feel as happy as the New Year.
"Erdan, don't be so stupid, hurry up and get Uncle Rat some water!"
The man entered the room. The bag on his shoulders seemed very heavy. He was panting and put it on the ground, making a clattering sound.
"Hey, what are you..."
"Niu Er asked me to bring you something." As he said that, the rat untied the bag and opened it. Suddenly golden light shone and the whole room was illuminated.
As soon as the woman took the water glass from the boy's hand, her hand shook and fell to the ground with a clang.
"Here are 30,000 gold coins. Give me some." Rat said.
The woman was stunned. Thirty thousand gold coins. She had never seen three hundred gold coins in her life. They were piled up in front of her like a small mountain.
"Wow, our family is rich now, we can buy a big house, and we no longer have to look down on others!" The innocent child clapped his hands and cheered, "I will buy a lot of delicious food for Xiaohua, make her happy, and she will Played with me."
The woman stared blankly at the pile of golden coins, and suddenly seemed to understand something. She stumbled forward, grabbed the rat's hand like a life-saving straw, and cried, "Where is that damn ghost? Why didn't that damn ghost come back?" "
The smile on the rat's face froze, and he opened his mouth, unable to speak.
"Does he have a woman outside? Doesn't he? Doesn't he want us two anymore? Tell me! Does he no longer want us two?"
Rat shook his head.
"Are you lying to me? You must be lying to me. He has found a woman outside and doesn't want us anymore!"
The rat turned his back. He can face the brutal gluttonous monarch, but he cannot see the tears of a woman.
Seeing his mother's appearance, the boy also started crying, "Daddy, I want daddy..."
"Stop crying..." Rat walked over, picked up the boy, and strode outside the house, looking at the mountains in the distance, "Your father turned into a stone from Dragon Tooth Mountain and will protect you forever."
"Child, you must remember that your father is a hero, and it is he who protects the tranquility of this land. You must be proud of him. When you grow up, you must be a man and protect your mother. Protect those who love you and those you love.”
The boy nodded vigorously with tears in his eyes.
After a while, the woman regained her composure, wiped away her tears, and returned to her usual fierce peasant woman self.
From the moment her husband left, she lived in fear. Being a mercenary is a job with your head in the world, and life and death are just a matter of a thought. She had already had a premonition that such a day would come, as if it was destined. What she has to do now is to clean up her mood, use the wealth that her husband bought with his life, run the family well, and train her son to become a talented person, so that future generations will not have to live such a miserable life.
No matter in which world or era, achieving class crossing is a history of family blood and tears.
Without the efforts and sacrifices of our predecessors, we would not be as relaxed and comfortable as we are today.
"If you have any difficulties in the future, you can come to Sanchahe City to find the Thunder Light Group. Our leader has said that the brothers' matters are his business."
Rat returned to the house, tied up the money bag again, and carried it, "Let's go, go to the city and deposit the money in the bank, and then donate some to the Light Church, and take off the identity of the refugee." Rat looked at the boy, "You will be a citizen from now on, but you can't say bad words randomly, or you will be deducted points."
"I usually don't use swear words. The teachers at school praise me for being polite." The boy put his hands on his hips and said proudly.
"That's good, you should be praised. Uncle Rat will buy you new clothes and the latest game console later. He will envy your little classmates to death."
"Yeah, long live!"
The sound of laughter gradually faded away. The woman turned back and stared at the thatched house reluctantly. My eyes seemed to have traveled through time, and I saw the generous back in the yard. He was honest and strong, which made people feel reassured and warm.
