While Xiao Yan was muttering, his aura had quietly changed.
Xiao Yan carries more world energy than ordinary immortals. He is the reincarnation of His Majesty, and while carrying more luck, Xiao Yan's breakthrough depends on his self-enlightenment.
Xiao Yan's sixth step was as quiet as gurgling water, and he broke through silently. However, Xiao Yan did not pay attention to his own realm at this moment, and was completely immersed in this endless cave of creation.
Each of these illusions has its own different meaning, and Xiao Yan is trying to see the true meaning contained in them.
Looking back on life, we only lived in a moment.
At this time, Xiao Yan, who was on the top of the mountain, suddenly heard the cry of a baby. In this troubled world, abandoned babies are extremely common.
The abandoned baby was in swaddling clothes. Maybe he knew that he was abandoned, so he cried very loudly, and his little face was red from crying. He looked like he was just three or four months old. Xiao Yan ignored him at first, until his cries aroused the hunger around him.
A ferocious beast.
Several hungry wolves were gradually approaching cautiously. Xiao Yan closed his eyes and did not want to pay attention to them.
The cry lingered in its ears. After confirming that there was no threat, several hungry wolves jumped up and headed straight for the crying baby.
Just when the sharp fangs were less than half a foot away from the baby, in an instant, several hungry wolves were shaken and violently bounced away by a force.
With a groan, the hungry wolves were in pain, and quickly ran away with their tails between their legs.
The baby was held in the arms of a figure and disappeared into the forest together.
This figure was naturally the last one. Xiao Yan, who still couldn't bear to let it go, immediately took the baby into the city and placed it in a crowded place. But now that the war was raging, no one even took a second look.
Until late at night, the baby's crying became weak and he had not eaten for a day.
Xiao Yan, who was sitting cross-legged on a dark street corner, moved again and found a woman who had just given birth to a baby. He took out some silver and asked for a sip of milk for the baby.
"In troubled times, there are countless abandoned children. I'm afraid that sir is not the biological father of this child?" The woman was also a smart person, and she could tell Xiao Yan's identity at a glance.
Xiao Yan did not answer. In this house, there was only this woman and her newborn baby. No trace of other men was seen. Looking at the woman's face, I am afraid that her husband had an accident.
After feeding, Xiao Yan hugged the infant and left.
Day after day, Xiao Yan placed the abandoned babies in different places, but no one claimed them.
And Xiao Yan often came to the woman to ask for milk for the baby. In the past few months, the baby had gradually grown up. The baby in the swaddling clothes looked at Xiao Yan, his eyes were extremely clear, and Xiao Yan smiled very much.
sweet.
This smile made Xiao Yan hesitate slightly.
At this moment, Xiao Yan never noticed that the corners of his mouth were slightly raised at some point.
After that, he never took the child out onto the street again.
The war finally subsided after several years, and the town gradually regained its former vitality.
But the number of people is much smaller. It was once prosperous and lively, but in comparison, it still seems a lot deserted.
There was the sound of several children playing in the alley.
"Brother Xiao An, doesn't your father do anything all day long?" a child asked.
The boy named Xiao An had the head of a tiger but his big eyes were as clear as river water. He shook his head.
"Dad never said that. Many people say that dad is a miracle doctor and can cure any disease." Xiao An's childishness has not faded, and his voice is still very childish and cute.
"I've also heard that my mother was seriously ill before, and it was Brother Xiao An's father who cured her. My father asked me to respect you for everything in the future to thank you for saving my life." The child also said seriously.
"Dad said that I survived by eating your mother's milk, which is also a great favor. We are all brothers. You're welcome." Xiao An patted the child's shoulder and said with a smile. The childlike conversation between the two was simple but full of emotions.
sincere.
While the two were talking, a few sneers suddenly came from outside the alley.
"Hey, aren't these two little orphans? One has no mother and the other has no father. You two have such a good relationship. What if your father and your mother weren't secretly having an affair?"
The person who spoke was also a child, but he was obviously much older. He was already a teenager. Behind him were several teenagers of about the same age who had been hanging out in this street for a long time.
"Chen Shuang, don't talk nonsense!" The child next to Xiao An suddenly turned red and shouted angrily.
"Si Ren, am I wrong?" Chen Shuang sneered. The boy was obviously very sensible, but lacked education. He usually liked to bully these younger children for pleasure.
"Si Ren, let's go. Dad asked us to buy scones and not get angry with them." Xiao An looked calmly, as if he had long been accustomed to such sarcasm.
Si Ren nodded and was about to leave with Xiao An, but at this moment, several teenagers quickly stepped forward and surrounded them.
"Chen Shuang, what do you want to do?" Xiao An frowned, seemingly calm, but in fact his arms were trembling slightly. After all, the teenagers were much taller than them.
"Buying sesame seed cakes...just in time. Master, I'm hungry. Hand over the money, otherwise..." Chen Shuang said coldly.
"You dare to steal our money?" Xiao An clenched his fists, even though he was afraid, he did not flinch.
"Why don't you dare, grab it for me!" Chen Shuang shouted immediately, and several teenagers took action directly. Xiao An pushed Si Ren out of the teenagers.
"Si Ren, go call daddy!"
Si Ren burst out crying, but he didn't stop and ran quickly.
It was not until a long time later that Si Ren led a man to the alley. However, at this time, Chen Shuang and other young men were no longer there, only Xiao An was curled up on the ground.
"An'er, are you okay?" The man squatted down and asked softly with a worried look in his eyes.
The child curled up on the ground, even though his body was covered with dusty footprints, heard a familiar voice, and slowly turned his head, with two lines of nosebleeds flowing out, and still smiled.
"Dad, I'm fine, they didn't steal my money." Xiao An said proudly.
The man looked at the child and suddenly smiled, then held the child in his arms and wiped away the traces on the child's face. The warmth on his palms came and the child's face instantly returned to its original color.
"Silly boy, just give the money to them directly next time. A good man will not suffer the immediate loss." The man said softly.
"But this is the first time Daddy has asked me to buy something. I can't let Daddy down." The child in his arms said aggrievedly.
"An'er has really grown up and become more and more sensible. But daddy hopes that you can live a safe life and that money is no more than the things you have. Remember next time, if you can't fight, just run away." The man walked slowly with the child in his arms.
"Daddy, can you teach An'er martial arts so that he won't be bullied in the future?" Xiao An asked seriously.
"Dad only knows medical skills, do you want to learn it?" The man smiled, shook his head, and said softly.
