I'm not a drama god

Neither the mother nor Xiao Sheng understood.

Not long ago, the family of three was still basking in the joy of Xiao Sheng regaining his sight. They went shopping together, bickering with each other, as if their previously unbearable life was about to end and everything was slowly getting better...

Can……

How could someone who was perfectly healthy just suddenly be gone like that?

The mother trembled, her eyes fixed on Tu Tian in the rain. "You...you...why...my child only went to deliver a message to you! Tell me, how come he can't come back?!"

Tu Tian lowered his head, his chapped lips parted slightly, "It was my fault for not protecting him, back then..."

"Tell me!! Why can't he come back?!"

The mother seemed to have collapsed; she couldn't hear a word Tu Tian said. Her hunched back staggered into the rain, grabbing Tu Tian's shoulders and screaming at the top of her lungs:

"My son...my son just recovered from his illness!!"

"He worked so hard, taking care of me, a sick old woman, for so long. He finally recovered from his own illness, finally saw his younger brother regain his sight, and finally could live a little more comfortably... How could he just leave... and never come back?!"

"What bravery! What a load of bullshit heroism!!!"

"Give me back my son!!"

"Give it back to me!!!"

Faced with the mother's screams, Tu Tian couldn't give any response... He just silently let those old and weak fists pound on him, like a stone sculpture in the rain, motionless.

Only when an emergency assembly whistle sounded in the distance did he take a deep breath and step back.

"...I'm so sorry."

He bowed deeply to the old man, then quickly left in the direction from which the sound came.

The mother's legs buckled, and she collapsed to her knees beside the cold corpse with a thud. She pushed against Ah-Qiang's body, her wailing echoing through the street...

"Brother... wake up, brother!"

Xiao Sheng, standing to the side, also had red eyes. He touched his pocket and choked out, "I secretly hid a piece of cake for you... It smelled so good... Get up and have a bite, brother..."

"Qiang...Qiang!!"

It rained heavily.

The mother's cries gradually subsided.

Under the icy rain, her already ailing body had reached its limit. Coupled with the intense emotional stimulation, she swayed slightly and collapsed next to A-Qiang's corpse.

"mom!!"

"mom!!!"

Xiao Sheng immediately rushed forward and struggled to carry his mother on his back.

Strands of blood trickled from the corner of the mother's mouth. Her forehead was burning hot, her heavy breathing gradually weakened, and painful gurgling sounds came from her throat from time to time.

Xiao Sheng knew that his mother's illness had relapsed.

He rushed into the house immediately, opened the medicine packet in the drawer, only to find it empty...

"Mom! Hang in there... Let's go find Dr. Jia! Let him prescribe your medicine!"

Xiao Sheng quickly pulled an umbrella from the corner of the room to shield himself and his mother on his back, then rushed into the rain and ran straight to Dr. Jia's clinic!

Although Xiao Sheng was a teenager, he was quite physically fit. In addition, he was facing the double blow of his brother's death and his mother's serious illness. He knew that he had to support his family. With his adrenaline surging, he ran all the way and carried his mother to the clinic.

He knocked rapidly on the clinic door:

"Dr. Jia!"

"Dr. Jia!! Please save my mother!!"

dong dong dong-

Amidst the urgent knocking, a weary figure in a white coat opened the clinic door.

At this moment, Dr. Jia's eyes were still bloodshot, and he looked like he hadn't eaten for days, extremely weak. When he saw Xiao Sheng and his mother on his back in the pouring rain outside the door, he frowned and immediately let them in.

"what happened?"

"Dr. Jia! My brother is dead... My mother fainted when she heard the news, and she seems to have a high fever!"

"What?! Your brother is dead?!"

Dr. Jia was startled.

After listening to Xiao Sheng's brief description of what happened, a hint of sympathy flashed in his eyes as he looked at the mother and son... Dr. Jia knew about this family's situation; A-Qiang's accidental death was absolutely devastating for his mother and younger brother.

"Dr. Jia, please save my mother... please prescribe some more medicine for her!"

Without saying a word, Xiao Sheng immediately knelt down on the ground with a thud.

at the same time,

He fumbled in his pocket and pulled out a small box, handing it to Dr. Jia.

"I know, Dr. Jia, all the medicines here are chargeable, but we really don't have anything of value left in our home... I have a cake here, which should be the last cake in the entire Cangyun Realm... It smells so good, please, Dr. Jia, save my mother!"

As he spoke, Xiao Sheng opened the box with trembling hands, and the rich aroma of cake instantly filled the entire room.

Dr. Jia's body stiffened. He stared intently at the cake in Xiao Sheng's hand, his mouth watering uncontrollably...

He was so hungry; he hadn't eaten anything properly for days, and the pain from his illness had left him extremely weak... The aroma of the cake stirred up his deepest desires, and his stomach began to rumble.

He forced himself to look away, took a deep breath... and then turned and walked into the storeroom.

After a while,

He took a packet of pills and returned to the mother and child.

"Take it, the dosage and usage are the same as before," Dr. Jia said calmly.

Xiao Sheng was overjoyed. "Thank you, Dr. Jia! This cake..."

"Take it away."

Dr. Jia pressed down on the cake that was being offered and pushed it back into Xiao Sheng's arms.

“I don’t want your lousy cake… Don’t you have that little golden gourd on your wrist? Leave it here.”

Xiao Sheng was taken aback, and cautiously said, "Dr. Jia, this is fake gold... My mother was scammed into buying it by a conman."

"Cut the nonsense."

Dr. Jia simply ripped off the golden gourd, seemingly too lazy to even glance at him again, and waved his hand, "Go on, go on, your mother caught a chill, which caused her symptoms to flare up again... Go back and keep her warm, okay?"

"Um……"

"You should eat that cake yourself while you can... You're still growing, so eat more so you can take good care of your mom in the future, understand?"

"Okay... Goodbye, Dr. Jia."

After bowing to Dr. Jia, Xiao Sheng picked up his mother again, grabbed an umbrella, and hurried home.

The torrential rain filled the world with moisture. After watching them leave, Dr. Jia slowly closed his eyes and let out a long, helpless sigh...

at this time,

A commotion arose from the heavy rain:

"Lord Cangyun has decreed!! Immediately conscript all able-bodied young men in good physical condition from within the Cangyun Realm to the Lingxu Realm!! To rebuild the Tower of Akashi!!!"
