Chapter 2 2. The Destiny God and Leaving Home
Twelve guardian deities of the natal group.

The moment Xu Qing traveled through time, he clearly felt their presence and their connection with himself.

However, in the past six months, he tried various methods but was unable to summon and drive it.

Fortunately, after integrating the original body's memory and taking control of the body.

I don’t know if the twelve guardian deities really played a protective role.

He could feel a lively breath in his body.

This breath keeps flowing through the limbs, bones, internal organs, containing infinite vitality, and continues to flow to twelve unknown places.

At that moment, an inspiration suddenly came to him, and he instinctively urged his mind to make this breath move.

This allowed the original body, which had been weak due to premature birth, to gradually recover.

This past six months.

Xu Qing would follow his instinct every day to circulate the lively energy in his body.

Even if you haven’t eaten pork, have you seen a pig run?
Having been influenced by various novels, comics, and film and television dramas in my previous life, I have some idea of ​​this lively atmosphere.

Unfortunately, when he traveled through time, his original body was already thirteen years old, and the aura had become somewhat turbid. Apart from making his body better, it had no further effect.

He had already started looking for a nearby sect of cultivation.

I heard that there are martial arts schools in those big cities where one can learn martial arts as long as one pays money. For him, this is the easiest sect to practice.

But the prerequisite is to have money.

Just when he was racking his brains to think of ways to make money, Uncle Zhang suddenly offered to take him to his father to become his apprentice.

I had just dozed off when someone came to bring me a pillow!
Closer to home.

After hearing Xu Qing's firm answer, Xu's father looked at his youngest son intently.

At this moment, there was an unwavering color in the pair of black and white eyes.

Father Xu couldn't help but ponder.

After he fell seriously ill a year ago, his youngest son suddenly became smart. This could be seen from the fact that he ran to the private school in the next village to attend classes and learn how to read and write.

perhaps.

It's possible that a dragon could be born in their family.
And since there was one less person in the family, the remaining food was more than enough for them to have two full meals a day, so they would have no problem getting through the winter.

"Okay." Father Xu's eyes flashed with an unprecedented light: "I'll go talk to Old Zhang and beg him!"

a few days later.

After Xu Qing came back from attending classes in the next village, he saw a horse carriage parked at the door of his house.

A tall man with a straight back, whose skin was the same caramel color as the others but who was obviously not a farmer, was standing in the yard chatting with his parents.

When Xu Qing saw the figure, his eyes lit up instantly and he walked forward quickly:

"Uncle Zhang!"

"San'er is back. Is he going to the next village to attend classes again?" Old Zhang heard the voice and looked over.

Xu Qing chuckled.

The eldest and second sons rarely went to the fields this morning. After seeing Uncle Zhang and Xu Qing, they greeted each other and started chatting with their father. The second son reached out and grabbed Xu Qing under his armpit and pulled him to the corner of the yard.

"Is Uncle Zhang planning to take you to learn from his master this time?"

Xu Qing had expected this and was not surprised. He just laughed and said, "That should be it. Second brother, when I learn well, I will come back and take the whole family to eat delicious food and drink spicy drinks."

"it is good."

The second son, Xu Huai, laughed heartily upon hearing the sound.

The eldest brother, Xu Huo, remained silent, but was obviously influenced by his two younger brothers, with a little more smile on his face.

the other side.

After Father Xu and Old Zhang continued chatting for a while, he glanced at Xu Qing and said to Old Zhang solemnly:

"I'm sorry to bother you this time."

"What are you talking about?" Old Zhang shook his head. "If you hadn't helped me in my early years, I would have died in the mountains."

In his early years, when Xu's father went up the mountain to chop firewood, he accidentally rescued Uncle Zhang who was attacked and dying by a mountain monster. From then on, the Xu and Zhang families began to interact.

"It's just introducing San'er to the temple. It's nothing."

"Besides, how much skills San'er can learn after arriving at the temple depends on himself. I didn't really help much."

"That's not what you mean," Father Xu smacked his lips.

Old Zhang said that he didn't help much, but this "recommendation" was the biggest help.

My own San'er is smart, but there are hundreds of households in Xujia Village, and San'er is not the only smart child from generation to generation.

But why can no one leave this small mountain village?

"What else can I say?" Old Zhang said with an unhappy look on his face. "Forget it, forget it. Have you packed up San'er's things?"

"Okay, time to get ready to go."

"Aren't you going to leave after dinner?" Father Xu said. "No, the temple is currently holding a disciple-recruiting ceremony. It will take several days to get to Huai'an. If there is any delay on the way, it will probably take even longer."

"In order to avoid missing the disciple-taking ceremony, it is better to set off as soon as possible."

Father Xu nodded.

Before leaving, Xu's mother Liu Fang half squatted down and tidied Xu Qing's clothes.

"San'er, are you hungry?"

A mother always loves her youngest child, and Xu Qing was born weaker than his peers because she fell seriously ill due to exhaustion when she was pregnant with him.

Liu Fang has always felt guilty about this.

Naturally, I prefer Xu Qing.

Now my youngest son is leaving home, and I don’t know how many years it will take for him to return home. I feel so reluctant and sad.

Xu Qing touched his belly.

Because the remaining grain after paying the autumn tax has to be eaten sparingly, the family now changes from two full meals a day to two thin meals and one full meal.

When he went out in the morning, he only drank a bowl of sweet potato porridge, and by this time he was more or less a little hungry.

"Hungry!"

As soon as Liu Fang heard this, she took out three boiled eggs that had been cooked and cooled from her arms and stuffed them into Xu Qing's hand.

Xu Qing took the three boiled eggs, carefully put away two of them, and kept only one in his hand.

Peel off the hard shell on the surface of the egg to reveal the crystal clear egg white inside, take a bite and your mouth will be filled with fragrance.

"San'er, is it delicious?"

"Delicious!" Xu Qing nodded heavily.

delicious!
It tastes better than any food I've ever tasted before, or even in my memory from my previous life!

"mother!"

The second oldest, Xu Huai, turned around and saw this scene, jumping up and down, yelling, "You were secretly partial to San'er before, and now you don't even pretend?!"

"go away."

Liu Fang waved her hands repeatedly as if she was shooing away flies, with an expression of disgust on her face.

Everyone smiled at each other, and the atmosphere of impending farewell was slightly diluted.

Old Zhang looked at the harmonious and friendly family and did not urge them to disturb them.

Liu Fang watched Xu Qing finish an egg, and then handed Xu Qing the cloth bag she had prepared in advance, which contained another set of clothes, some travel money and long-lasting dry food.

Then he took Xu Qing's hand and started to tell him about all kinds of things, big and small.

Xu Qing listened and replied solemnly "Yes".

Father Xu remained silent the whole time, until Xu Qing and Old Zhang got on the carriage, then he said:
"San'er, I don't understand anything about practicing martial arts, but remember one thing: if you really can't learn it, don't stay away for the sake of saving face.

"Come back when it's time to come back. There's no shortage of food for you at home."

Feeling the concern in his serious father's words, Xu Qing, who had no family in his previous life, finally felt the sadness of parting and said with red eyes:
"Ok!"

Old Zhang watched from the side and sighed. It seemed that he was in the same state when he left home not long ago.

"Okay, it's time to go."

Father Xu nodded to Old Zhang, who responded with a smile, then whipped the horse's butt, and the carriage immediately started rolling.

When the carriage was about to leave the village, Xu Qing suddenly turned around, looked at his family behind him, and shouted:

"Dad, Mom, Big Brother, Second Brother, when I come back from school, I will definitely treat you well and let you have meat for every meal!"

Liu Fang looked at the figure that was getting smaller and smaller as the carriage turned, and her eyes were red: "Such a young child is leaving home."

The child travels thousands of miles and the mother is worried.

As soon as I left home, I started to worry.

"Mom, don't worry." The second son, Xu Huai, stepped forward to support his mother, looking in the direction where Xu Qing left, "Uncle Zhang is following us."

"Besides, with my cleverness, I will never suffer any loss anywhere."

"If you have the energy to worry about this, you might as well think about how prosperous our lives will be when San'er comes back from school."

Liu Fang smiled and wiped the corners of her eyes.

"I'd rather not think about it. Thinking about it will only give me expectations. If San'er doesn't succeed in his studies, we will definitely resent him in the future."

"Then don't think about this, let's change it." The second brother Xu Huai laughed and said, "Why don't you think about how to find a suitable wife for me and my eldest brother."

Looking up at this second son who looked eccentric but was actually the most responsible, Liu Fang raised her eyebrows:

"So you were waiting for me here! Which girl do you like?"

"Hehehe." The second brother Xu Huai touched the back of his head, looking shy.
