Battle Through the Heavens: I Am the Righteous Path

Chapter 376 Xiao Ying is not greedy

Xiao Ying, the daughter of Xiao Wuyun, the leader of the Xiao clan, has been a genius since she was born. She was a fighter at the age of six and a great master at the age of eight. She even reached the peak of fighting king at the age of only 12 years old. She is worthy of being the youngest of the Xiao clan. The leader of his generation.

At that time, Xiao Ling, who was only ranked behind Xiao Ying, had just broken through Dou Ling. Needless to say, the others were left far behind by Xiao Ying.

At that time, everyone in the Xiao clan had no doubt that Xiao Ying would succeed her father as the clan leader in the future and lead the Xiao clan towards a more glorious future.

However, it seems that God is jealous of Yingcai. For some reason, in the year when Xiao Ying reached the peak of Dou Wang, just when he was about to successfully break through Dou Huang, the fighting spirit in his body suddenly disappeared overnight for no reason, and his strength dropped back to the lowest level. Three levels of fighting spirit.

Since then, no matter how much Xiao Ying practiced, his fighting spirit could not increase by half, and this is still the case three years ago.

Xiao Ying's mother, Xiao Wuyun's wife Xiao Qingge, was just an ordinary person, which shocked the clan members.

It’s not unusual for people outside to be ordinary people, but the Xiao clan with the Dou Emperor bloodline has never seen a person who can’t practice before. Xiao Qingge should be the first ordinary person from the Xiao clan since its establishment. people.

And such an ordinary person is actually the wife of Xiao Wuyun, the strongest person in the Xiao clan. This fact has always made everyone in the clan feel strange. With Xiao Wuyun's talent and status, there are countless suitors in the clan. , Xiao Wuyun chose Xiao Qingge, an ordinary person, to be his wife.

According to rumors, it seemed that Xiao Qingge had been silently supporting Xiao Wuyun from behind when Xiao Wuyun had not yet grown up, and that was why Xiao Qingge got this marriage that was extremely unmatched for her.

But after Xiao Ying's strength faded, Xiao Qingge also immediately lost power, causing her status in the family to plummet. Xiao Wuyun ruthlessly expelled her mother and son from the patriarch's mansion, and only gave her a very meager living allowance every month, which was not worth the money. It's just enough for mother and son to survive.

However, although this approach was so ruthless, no one thought there was anything wrong with it.

Why does a weak person enjoy such a high status in the Xiao clan?

Back then, when Xiao Ying's talent was still there, Xiao Qingge, as her mother, could still absorb her glory and regard herself as the patriarch's wife. But now that Xiao Ying has fallen into decline, it is natural for the worthless Xiao Qingge to be abandoned by Xiao Wuyun.

Back to the present, after the barrel was trampled by Xiao Ling, Xiao Ying returned home, found an old bowl while her mother was sleeping, left home and quickly ran to the well.

Looking at the dark deep well below, Xiao Ying's heart sank slightly, and then she gritted her teeth, holding the bowl in her mouth, holding the well rope with both hands, stepping on the well wall with her feet apart, and moving towards the well bit by bit. Slide down.

In order to bring water back to Xiao Qingge, she had no choice but to use this method.

Anyway, the barrel had been destroyed, so I practiced in advance so that if Xiao Qingge was in urgent need of water one day in the future, he wouldn't need to be so cautious.

At the moment when the barrel was destroyed, Xiao Ying thought about going over to ask for help, but she gave up the idea as soon as it came up.

No one would be willing to help them. Even Xiao Wuyun, their biological father, ignored them, so how could they expect anything from others?

Therefore, Xiao Ying deeply understood in her heart that the only person she could rely on was herself, and the only person her mother could rely on was herself.

No matter how big the difficulty is, you can only find ways to solve it by yourself, relying on others, and don't even think about it.

Slowly, as Xiao Ying gradually slid to the bottom of the well, she felt the coolness coming from below. She held the well rope tightly with one hand, bent slightly and reached down with the other hand, and touched sleep. Immediately, he took down the bowl he was holding in his mouth, filled it with water, and held it in his mouth again, biting the edge of the bowl with his teeth.

At least at this moment, Xiao Ying was quite glad that her bowl was so thin, otherwise it would have been difficult to hold it in her mouth without spilling the water.

After holding it firmly in her mouth, Xiao Ying held the well rope with both hands and climbed up the well surface little by little with her feet. She was more careful than when she came down, for fear that the water she finally got into the bowl would be spilled again.

After crawling cautiously for several minutes, Xiao Ying finally climbed to the wellhead when Xiao Ying's hands were shaking. She immediately put the bowl filled with water gently on the edge of the well from her numb mouth. Then he crawled out of the well tremblingly and collapsed on the ground, panting.

To be honest, after Xiao Ying's fighting spirit subsided, the first thing he thought about was to exercise his body. No matter how good his fighting spirit was, his body should at least not weaken.

However, Xiao Ying did not do this.

The reason is also very simple. If you exercise your body, you will inevitably eat more. You and your mother were expelled from the clan leader's house. The little money you give each month is barely enough to fill your stomach. How can you get the extra money to exercise your body.

After a while, Xiao Ying regained her breath, stretched out her hand to hold the bowl placed by the well, and quickly returned home while making sure not to spill the water.

After returning home, seeing Xiao Qingge still sleeping peacefully, Xiao Ying breathed a sigh of relief, put the bowl on the table, then raised his brows slightly and looked at some extra food next to the thatch pile.

Where does this food come from?Xiao Qingge has been bedridden because of his physical weakness, and he has no memory of buying these foods. Besides the two of them, who else would put the food here?You must know that no one in the entire family treats their mother and daughter.

And this is not the first time. Xiao Ying has seen food appear inexplicably in her home several times.

Without waiting for Xiao Ying to think more, Xiao Qingge opened her eyes leisurely and pursed her chapped lips slightly. When Xiao Ying saw this, she immediately picked up the bowl on the table, squatted down next to Xiao Qingge, and helped her sit up.

"Mom, come, drink water."

Xiao Ying gently brought the bowl to Xiao Qingge's mouth and fed it in bit by bit.

After drinking half the bowl of water, Xiao Qingge's complexion improved a little, and he looked at Xiao Ying and smiled softly.

"Ying'er, thank you for your hard work. Are you hungry too?" Xiao Qingge raised his withered hand and pointed at the food next to him, "This is sent by others, you can eat some."

Xiao Ying looked at the food in the direction Xiao Qingge pointed, frowning slightly, and then looked at Xiao Qingge again.

"Mother, I have always wanted to ask, who gave these food to you?"

Xiao Qingge did not answer Xiao Ying's question, but shook his head slightly.

In Xiao Ying's view, Xiao Qingge's shaking head had two meanings.

One is that I don’t know, and the other is that I can’t tell.

Any meaning is possible.

Seeing that Xiao Qingge was unwilling to answer directly, Xiao Ying did not ask further questions because there was no need.

Even if you know, what can you do?
It is unlikely that the other party has ulterior motives. The entire Xiao clan now regards their mother and daughter as the most worthless, and no one will think that they can get anything from them.

And if it was purely out of goodwill, there would be no need to ask. It would be enough for the other party to still send food to his mother and daughter even when they were so despised and rejected.

Therefore, there is no need to think too much about anything else, just being grateful is enough.

Xiao Ying reached out and took out a large cake from the food, tore off a small piece, and handed it to Xiao Qingge.

"Mother, you should eat first."

Xiao Qingge looked at the cake Xiao Ying handed over and took it without refusing.

She knew that Xiao Ying would never eat it if she didn't eat it first.

Seeing Xiao Qingge eating the cake bit by bit, Xiao Ying showed a smile, sat down cross-legged next to Xiao Qingge, leaned slightly against her, ate the cake in his hand bite by bite, and occasionally drank the half bowl of water. Pick it up and feed it to Xiao Qingge to prevent her from choking.

Seeing her mother's gradually improving appearance, Xiao Ying was very pleased.

Although, the current situation is indeed very difficult. I don’t have enough to eat or wear warm clothes, and I am constantly being embarrassed and scorned by others.

But at least, his mother is still with him, and that's enough.

Even though she was expelled from the Patriarch's Mansion and her quality of life plummeted, she didn't feel too sad.

In this family where the jungle thrives on the strong, being alive is already a great gift. Even if you live in extreme poverty, you are still alive.

Xiao Ying is real and not greedy at all.

At least, so far.
