Chapter 767
Standing outside the slums, Jiang Yueshen was stunned for a moment.
Although he knew in his heart that Jiang Yueshen's family was not well off.
But I never expected the conditions would be so bad.
After all, it is already the year 2099. With such advanced technology, shouldn’t human civilization and economic conditions also keep pace with the times?
How can it still be so poor?
For a moment, Jiang Yueshen was filled with sighs.
It's really ironic for rich kids like Zhao Shen and Li Gan.
I guess you won’t have to worry about food and drink for the rest of your life, right?
However, outside the world of feasting and revelry, there is such a huge gap.
I think, in their hearts, Jiang Yueshen’s parents are probably just ordinary people.
If one could awaken his warrior talent, life wouldn't be so miserable.
At this moment, Jiang Yueshen's voice rang out in his heart:
"You guessed it right, my parents are ordinary people who cannot awaken."
“That’s why I live here.”
Jiang Yueshen nodded and said, "Are all the people living in the slums here ordinary people who are unable to awaken?"
"Most of them are. Although some people can be awakened, they are punished here because of various mistakes."
"Of course, there are also some people who have been transformed from warriors into ordinary people because their talents have been wasted, and they live here."
"In short, this slum is a small group at the bottom of society."
"The people here don't have much talent in martial arts."
"Perhaps because they are all ordinary people, the people here are unusually united."
"Maybe it's also for the sake of keeping each other warm, which is a good thing."
Jiang Yueshen nodded and said, "You don't have any talent for martial arts. Could it be related to genetic inheritance?"
Inwardly, Jiang Yueshen shook his head and said, "No, whether or not you have martial arts talent and whether or not you can activate it is all up to fate."
“Some may be activated at the age of four or five.”
"And some people may not activate their martial arts talents until they are in their seventies or eighties."
"Of course, some people may never be able to activate the martial arts in their entire lives."
"There is no law to it, and no science to explain it."
"It's like the laws of nature. No one can predict it."
"However, there is a basic phenomenon that can be assessed, and that is that by going to school and studying, one can activate martial arts talent with a high probability."
"Usually it will be set before the age of 18."
"If you activated your martial arts talent before the age of 18, then it is activated."
"If it's not activated, then it may never be activated in this lifetime."
Jiang Yueshen nodded in understanding and said:
"Isn't this why schools have competitions?"
"Yes, that's what I mean."
Jiang Yueshen also understood in his heart, no wonder Zhao Shen and Li Gan mocked him so much.
This is equivalent to completely ruining the rest of your life.
It is destined that no martial arts will be activated in the future.
That's why they mocked Jiang Yueshen so wantonly.
When he arrived at the entrance of the apartment building, quite a few middle-aged men and women greeted Jiang Yueshen.
Just as Jiang Yueshen said in his heart, although this place is poor, the people are very kind and friendly.
Although Jiang Yueshen didn't know them, he responded to them one by one.
Arriving at a small door on the third floor, Jiang Yueshen knocked gently.
After a while, with a creaking sound, the small wooden door was opened.
"Yue Shen, you're back, wash your hands and eat."
"Mom made your favorite winter melon and pork ribs soup."
What caught Jiang Yueshen's eyes was a middle-aged woman in her 40s.
She was neither fat nor thin, and was wearing an apron, but it could not hide the patches on the coarse cloth.
The middle-aged woman's hair was a little messy, hanging casually by her ears, and she looked a little haggard.
However, his facial features are good and he is somewhat similar to Jiang Yueshen.
It is not difficult to see the tired look on the slightly yellow face.
However, after seeing Jiang Yueshen, his eyes seemed unusually bright.
With a smile, she appears even more charitable and kind, giving people an indescribable sense of friendliness and intimacy.
The moment Jiang Yueshen saw the middle-aged woman again, he was moved.
It was as if the deepest and softest emotion in my heart was touched.
Jiang Yueshen didn't expect that the woman in front of him was 8% similar to her previous mother.
She is just a little younger than her mother, Li Shulan.
Having not seen his mother for a long time, Jiang Yueshen's thoughts were immediately drawn back to the old city of Beijing in the 70s.
I don’t know how my family members far away in Beijing are doing now.
I really didn't expect that I would see my young mother again in this time and space.
So kind, amiable and approachable.
Jiang Yueshen subconsciously called out, "Mom."
Jiang Yueshen's eyes were filled with the other person's shadow, and he was extremely sincere.
The middle-aged woman was obviously stunned, then smiled and said:
"Well, what happened?"
"What are you still standing there for? Hurry up and go in, wash your hands and eat."
"Oh, it's nothing. I'm just a little tired."
Jiang Yueshen was so engrossed in his thoughts that even though this was the first time he had seen the middle-aged woman in front of him, he could not suppress the affection that emanated from his deep feelings.
I was distracted for a moment and just made up a lie.
After Jiang Yueshen came back to his senses, he immediately walked into the house.
What comes into view on the right is a tattered wooden table with three pairs of bowls and chopsticks on it.
There is also a soup bowl in the middle, which contains the fragrant winter melon and pork ribs soup.
It’s just that there are more winter melons and sparse pork ribs, only seven or eight pieces.
After Jiang Yueshen went to the bathroom to wash his hands, he sat down at the dining table.
At this time, the middle-aged woman had already filled the bowl in front of Jiang Yueshen.
The fragrant winter melon and pork ribs soup had a fresh and delicious aroma, which made Jiang Yuesheng swallow his tongue.
The taste is as delicious as the meals my mother cooked in the 1970s and 1980s.
"Yue Shen, eat quickly."
The middle-aged woman said something.
It was only at this time that Jiang Yueshen discovered that there were 5 pieces of ribs in his bowl.
But there was only some winter melon in his mother's bowl, not even a piece of pork ribs.
Jiang Yueshen didn't hesitate at all and directly exchanged his bowl with his mother's.
"Mom, you eat too. I can't eat so much."
No matter what era it is, Jiang Yueshen doesn't want his loved ones to suffer.
Even in the modern year of 2099, Jiang Yueshen still couldn't bear to see his mother suffer.
"The deeper it gets, the better time it is for you to replenish nutrients and repair your body. You should eat more."
The middle-aged woman also wanted to exchange her bowl with Jiang Yueshen.
Jiang Yueshen smiled and said, "Mom, you can eat 3 pieces and I can eat 2 pieces."
"I ate too much and couldn't digest it."
As he spoke, Jiang Yueshen picked up two more ribs from the bowl opposite him.
"Eat it quickly, Mom, or it will get cold soon."
