The Rise of the Youth in the War of Resistance
Chapter 7 Two paths to the future, how to decide?
As early as when the group of vicious bandits came back with full force, He's mother had fainted from crying on the spot, so she didn't even get to see Zhao Shao's heroic figure displaying his might.
At this moment, she woke up slowly when Zhao Shao was kneeling down to worship He Niu reverently. However, because she had just woken up and her consciousness was not very clear, she thought that Zhao Shao had encountered some accident.
Her eyes, originally red and swollen from crying for so long, were once again filled with tears. She cried out heartbreakingly:
"Shao'er, my Shao'er, please don't be in trouble!"
After spending ten years together day and night, He's mother had already regarded Zhao Shao as her own son in her heart. This extremely deep affection made her naturally reveal such a heartbroken look when she saw that Zhao Shao might be hurt.
Similarly, Zhao Shao has unknowingly regarded He Niu and his wife as his closest relatives, and the feelings between them have long surpassed the boundaries of blood relationship.
When Zhao Shao heard He's mother's painful cry, an indescribable sadness suddenly surged in his heart. He hurriedly stood up, ran to He's mother in two steps, and hugged her tightly in his arms.
He comforted her softly, "Mom, I'm fine. I'm fine. Don't cry."
When He's mother heard Zhao Shao's familiar and warm voice, she slowly raised her head. When she saw that Zhao Shao was safe and sound, the tears in her eyes gradually stopped. But she still couldn't believe what she saw. With trembling hands, she carefully stroked Zhao Shao's face. After making sure that he was really unharmed, she breathed a sigh of relief.
Zhao Shao was deeply moved when he saw how worried He's mother was about him. He knew deeply that he had become an inseparable part of this warm family.
"Mom, don't worry, I will definitely protect myself in the future and won't make you worry anymore."
Zhao Shao said with a firm look.
Mother He wiped the tears from her eyes, nodded with satisfaction, and then gently patted Zhao Shao's shoulder.
"Good boy, you have grown up."
Zhao Shao and He's mother carried He's father's body to a quiet valley not far away with heavy hearts.
They walked silently, each step seemed to carry a heavy weight, their hearts filled with endless sorrow and grief.
After arriving at the valley, they searched around and finally found a relatively suitable place, and then began to dig the grave.
Zhao Shao resolutely picked up the hoe and dug the hard soil with all his strength. His sweat soaked his clothes like rain, but he had no intention of stopping.
He's mother was digging silently on the side, her eyes full of memories of the good old days.
After some hard work, the two finally dug a simple but affectionate tomb.
Zhao Shao and He's mother gently placed He's father's body into the grave, and then slowly covered it with soil with their sad hands.
His hands were trembling, as if every movement was filled with deep reluctance and endless sadness for his father.
Finally, he piled stones together to create a simple but respectful tomb.
Zhao Shao stood quietly in front of He's father's grave, bowed deeply, and said with a choked voice:
"Dad, go with peace of mind. I will definitely take good care of mom."
His words were full of unwavering determination and commitment, and he only hoped that his father could rest in peace.
He's mother could no longer suppress her inner grief and burst into tears. Her cries echoed in the empty valley, making people feel extremely sad.
She lost her husband of many years, and the pain in her heart is simply indescribable.
Zhao Shao walked over to his mother, hugged her tightly, and comforted her gently:
"Mom, don't cry. Dad is gone, but I'm still here."
His eyes revealed immense strength and determination, and he vowed to shoulder the responsibility of the family.
In this silent and sad valley, the mother and son quietly watched over He's father's grave, their hearts filled with nostalgia for the happy times in the past and fear of the confused and unknown future.
But they also know clearly that life must go on and they must face it with strength and courage.
……
Returning to the familiar bamboo courtyard, Zhao Shao carefully supported He's mother and walked slowly into the yard. He looked at He's mother tenderly and said:
"Mom, let the past be the past. We still have to continue living a good life."
He's mother nodded slightly, a hint of relief and determination flashing in her eyes.
The two of them began to clean up the bandits' disgusting corpses and unexpectedly found some money and valuables on them.
Zhao Shao carefully put them away, then said coldly to the bandit's body:
"These ill-gotten gains are your compensation to my family."
His voice was calm and firm, as if announcing the arrival of justice to the dead bandits.
After He Niu and his mother cleaned up the scene, Zhao Shao and He's mother sat together in the yard, enjoying this rare moment of tranquility.
The day was already beginning to turn pale.
The rolling hills in the distance gradually reveal clear outlines. The morning mist permeates the fresh air, bringing a touch of coolness and tranquility. The warm sunlight shines through the emerald green bamboo leaves, casting mottled light and shadows. The breeze blows gently, bringing a faint bamboo fragrance.
They quietly felt this hard-earned peace, and gradually their hearts regained some peace.
Zhao Shao looked at He's mother, her face revealing a firmness and determination.
They looked at each other silently, understanding each other's determination.
As He's mother walked towards the room, the cold reminder sound of the system in Zhao Shao's head, who was still sitting on the chair, rang out again without any warning.
"Ding, host starts the mission +1, host memory loss detected, reward has been automatically issued"
Zhao Shao's head suddenly ached, but he didn't roll around on the sand slope. This time, the scene of this body's past experiences emerged:
Zhao Shao lived a carefree life in a spacious courtyard. He remembered many people teaching him all kinds of new and interesting things, and a kind couple entertaining him. But when he wanted to know who this couple was, his mind went blank again.
These images kept flashing through Zhao Shao's mind, every detail was so clear and vivid, but they always stopped abruptly at the critical moment, making it impossible for him to fully recall the past events.
It felt like he was blocked by an invisible powerful force. No matter how hard he racked his brains to recall, he could not break through the mysterious barrier.
As time passed, Zhao Shao's headache became more and more severe. He couldn't help but frown tightly and hold his head tightly with both hands, trying to relieve the unbearable pain.
However, these images continued to flash in his mind, as if persistently reminding him that he had lost a crucial memory.
Finally, when Zhao Shao felt that he could no longer bear the tremendous pain, the images suddenly disappeared, replaced by a terrifying darkness.
He slowly opened his eyes and found that he was sweating profusely and his breathing became rapid and disordered.
"What exactly is going on?
Why do I have this memory loss?"
Zhao Shao muttered to himself, his heart filled with deep doubts and uneasiness.
He gradually realized that this system seemed to hide many unknown secrets, and he had to figure out these intricate problems as soon as possible, otherwise he might never be able to recover his lost memories.
In this silent courtyard, Zhao Shao's eyes became even more confused and profound.
He quietly pondered the two difficult choices he faced.
In these deep mountains and forests, he can live a secluded, peaceful and harmonious life, away from the hustle and bustle of the world, but it also means being forever isolated from the colorful world outside.
Or, he can follow the system's new prompts, bravely search for those lost memories, solve the mystery of his own confusing life experience, and find his true self again.
Zhao Shao took a deep breath and looked into the distance with a determined gaze.
He decided to take good care of He's mother first, and no matter how many difficulties, obstacles and unknown challenges lay ahead, he would pursue the truth without hesitation.
He firmly believes that only by finding the lost memories can he truly understand his past and the meaning of his existence.
So Zhao Shao tried to calm himself down and stopped thinking about it.
Just because he knows that this is his roots and where he grew up.
No matter what happens in the future, he will unwaveringly protect this home and his loved ones.
.........
Time flies, and in the blink of an eye, Zhao Shao is already eighteen years old.
His originally young and innocent face gradually lost its youthfulness, revealing a mature and steady outline; his body also gradually became upright and strong, with muscle lines faintly visible.
At this age when they should be innocent, many children are still immersed in a carefree and free childhood, but Zhao Shao has already embarked on a difficult growth journey.
He was fully aware that he shouldered a heavy mission and responsibility, so he dared not slack off or relax in the slightest.
Every morning, when the first ray of warm sunlight gently shines on the vast land, Zhao Shao will get up on time and start a day of intense and fulfilling training.
He would first undergo a series of high-intensity physical training, including running hard on rugged mountain roads, doing push-ups and sit-ups on hard ground, etc.
These trainings can not only significantly enhance his physical fitness, but also effectively cultivate his endurance and perseverance.
Then, he would concentrate on learning various hunting techniques from He Niu.
He practiced constantly, striving for perfection and making every move perfect.
In addition to persistent physical exercise, Zhao Shao also pays special attention to spiritual cultivation.
At the same time, he would have long talks with He's mother, listen humbly to her valuable experience and pertinent suggestions, and constantly improve himself.
During this period, Zhao Shao's growth rate was amazing.
His strength is getting stronger and stronger, and his mentality is becoming more determined and calm.
However, he was not satisfied with his current achievements, but continued to work tirelessly and strive towards higher and farther goals.
Because he knows that only by continuous progress can we better cope with the unpredictable challenges of the future.
……
Walking on the golden avenue covered with fallen leaves, there was a rustling sound under his feet, as if he was having a friendly conversation with him.
Zhao Shao took a deep breath, fully feeling the unique scent of autumn, his heart filled with tranquility and determination.
He decided not to dwell on the painful events of the past, but to look firmly to the future and start anew in the town...
