Chapter 13 Late Night Chicken Soup
Chapter 13 Late Night Chicken Soup
A thick, warm quilt wrapped around her shivering body from behind.
Liu Sheng looked back and saw that it was her mother who had climbed onto the roof to look for her.
Ling Youlian had a gentle smile on her face and was holding a hand warmer wrapped in floral cloth in her hand.
She gently placed the hand warmer into Liu Sheng's hand, then sat beside her daughter, wrapped her tightly in the quilt and held her in her arms.
"It's windy at night, go back to sleep quickly, you're so cold." Ling Youlian scolded softly, but her tone was full of concern.
Liu Sheng leaned on his mother's shoulder holding the hand warmer. His whole body gradually warmed up and the uneasiness in his heart slowly dissipated.
"Mom, I want to become a psychic...but..." Liu Sheng wanted to tell his mother about his experience just now, but when the words came to his lips, he stopped inexplicably.
This is an unspeakable power!
Didn’t she fail to become a god?
But if it fails, how can this power of rules be triggered?
Ling Youlian didn't know what her daughter was thinking, she just hugged her gently and said, "Mother knows you want to go higher and further, but spiritual matters cannot be forced."
When Liu Sheng was admitted to Hanshan Academy, the whole Little Green Garden was excited, and parents came to Liu Ruhai and Ling Youlian to learn from her one after another. But when they heard that she only scored eight points in spirituality during the root bone test in the academy, everyone laughed at her. They thought that what was the use of getting into a big academy outside, as she could not become a high-ranking practitioner and would still have a hard life.
Ling Youlian knew that Liu Sheng was quiet, but she was very strong-willed and had been holding back. She was afraid that her daughter would get hurt, so she kept consoling her, saying that it didn't matter if she couldn't practice, she could find a stable job, earn a little money to support herself, and live a peaceful and ordinary life.
It is common sense that those with a spiritual level below 20 have basically no chance of spiritual practice. As a mother, she just doesn't want to see her daughter get hurt because of her hope.
Over time, Liu Sheng seemed to have listened to the advice. Although she would still try to communicate with the spirits from time to time, she was not so persistent. At least when the weather was as cold as it was now, she would definitely stay in the house and wait until it got warmer.
Later, Liu Sheng was determined to get into the Li County Weaving Institute, where at least he had enough food and clothing, and he was also a public official, respected by others. Suddenly, the villagers who had been watching from the sidelines became enthusiastic again, and began to bring their children to visit him to learn from him.
But for Ling Youlian, these titles and warmth are secondary. She only hopes that her daughter can support herself, be healthy and live happily.
Ling Youlian didn't know what happened to Liu Sheng outside, but she actually saw that her daughter was interested in cultivation again.
"Mom, have you ever thought about where you would be now? What would you be doing if you could continue practicing?" Liu Sheng suddenly asked in a muffled voice.
Ling Youlian was slightly stunned. This question was obviously beyond her expectations.
Ling Youlian was not as smart as Liu Sheng, who could pass the entrance exam to Xiaoluyuan and study at Hanshan Academy, one of the top ten academies. But she was also talented and was admitted to the only academy in the Changxing Mountains, Changxing Academy. Her spirituality was just over 20, which was just enough for cultivation. However, her talent was average, and she only cultivated to the third level of the initial realm when she graduated. In addition, she had to live with Liu Ruhai after leaving the academy, so she had to find a suitable livelihood. Ling Youlian had already transferred to the Tiangong Department when she was in the academy and concentrated on learning to refine equipment.
Liu Ruhai's aptitude was even more ordinary, his spirituality was only close to 20 points, and he had never even broken through the initial realm. Although he was admitted to Changxing Academy, it was only due to luck. After all, he was still not interested in practicing the various ways, and only wanted to be a chef and open a restaurant.
In order to save money to open a restaurant with Liu Ruhai, Ling Youlian became the only weapon refiner in Xiaoluyuan. Later, she had a child and put her cultivation on hold. After so many years, she still remained at the third level of the initial realm without any progress. However, the couple's small catering business grew bigger and bigger, from a wine shop with three or five seats to a two-story restaurant today.
Liu Sheng also knew all this, so he asked this question.
Ling Youlian's eyes flashed with a complicated light, as if she was recalling something, then she sighed softly and said, "When I was young, I certainly thought about becoming an outstanding practitioner, traveling the world with a sword, eliminating all the weirdness in the world, and traveling to unknown places. Of course, I also fantasized that maybe one day I could step into the legendary Shenzang Realm and become the person closest to the Supreme God in the world."
"To be honest, if I hadn't met your father, I might have gone to the capital to find my uncle and asked him to find me a good job. I might have settled in Chang'an from then on. The cultivation atmosphere there is strong, and I might have gone further and further on the path of cultivation."
"It's just that life is not the same as you imagine. It is full of forks in the road, and you don't know which path is right, but you always have to make a choice."
She paused and continued, "If I continue to practice, I might end up in a corner, facing unknown dangers alone, pursuing the so-called advanced realm. Would that kind of life really be better than now?"
Ling Youlian's eyes became gentle and firm. She stroked Liu Sheng's hair and continued, "But now, mother has you, your father, and our small home. Although it is ordinary, it is also very happy. And my refining skills are not bad. Everyone in Xiaoluyuan needs me. This kind of life is enough for me." "Everyone's path is different. Finding the one that suits you is the best. I have regrets, but I have no regrets."
Liu Sheng listened and felt touched. She had not yet figured out what her path would be.
But at least for now, the first thing for her is to conduct high-dimensional analysis again. She has to solve the problem of "Yi Yu".
"Yi Yu" is not like her. She has a father who takes care of the family and can cook delicious dishes, and a mother who can earn money on her own and is considerate.
Especially Yi Yu's mother, a typical suffocatingly strong parent. It can be said that the reason why Yi Yu's character became so weak and she kept all her distress to herself was probably due to the way she communicated with her mother since she was a child.
With a thought, she seemed to have grasped something.
"What are you talking about up there? It's freezing cold, come down quickly! I made some chicken soup, drink a bowl and warm it up before you go to sleep."
Suddenly, Liu Ruhai's vigorous shout was heard in the yard under the eaves.
Mother and daughter looked at each other and smiled.
Then Ling Youlian hugged Liu Sheng and used the art of light body to jump off the roof.
Liu Sheng looked at the ladder he had just leaned against to climb up to the roof, and suddenly felt indignant. Why couldn't he practice?
At least you can go up or down the roof whenever you want.
Liu Ruhai had already served two bowls of chicken soup and placed them on the table. It was steaming hot and exuding an enticing aroma.
Sitting down, Liu Sheng took the bowl of chicken soup that Liu Ruhai handed to her and took a sip carefully. Her mouth was filled with the sweet aroma of the slowly cooked chicken and her body instantly warmed up.
At that moment, she felt that all her fatigue and fear were dispelled by this bowl of soup.
……
On the second day, when Liu Sheng left Xiaolu Garden, he brought with him a large bowl of tightly wrapped stewed chicken soup.
There were also pancakes, jerky and pickles made by her father.
Her mother also gave her a lot of refining materials, some refining books and handy refining tools.
Even Li Xiaoer, who was pissed off by Liu Sheng yesterday, secretly stuffed a box of food into her mouth. This kid really gets angry quickly and calms down quickly. She has been calling her "Sister Liu Sheng" so sweetly. Later, Liu Sheng opened the box on the flying car and saw that it was a variety of snacks that Li Xiaoer and Liu Ruhai learned to make. They looked a bit ugly, but they tasted good.
When I came, I carried a lot of bags, and when I left, I still carried a lot of bags.
But the burden on her heart was much lighter.
She probably knew what to do.
Thanks for your support!!
