God-given mother: The villain cub is super clingy

Qin Fang roughly recounted what happened today, and at the end, he asked Lin Yue very seriously.

"Have you really thought about it?"

Lin Yue smiled and said, "Actually, I don't have a choice, right? I didn't think too much about it. Since I've landed in Yejia Village, I'm a member of Yejia Village. It doesn't matter whether I go through these ceremonies or not. What matters is that I like it here, and I don't want to leave."

"I just don't understand, what are the conditions for 'acknowledging the Lord'?"

Qin Fang glanced at Mrs. Qin, who glared at him in reproach.

"There's nothing to be ashamed of!"

"This is an open secret in the village. For anyone who truly becomes a member of Yejia Village, opening the ancestral hall and registering their name is simple. The key lies in acknowledging the master. Once you acknowledge the master, you become part of the tomb guardians and must be loyal for generations. If you betray the master, the consequences will be dire."

"Generational loyalty?"

Lin Yue frowned. "Will that affect my future life? For example, the imperial examinations, becoming an official, etc."

Granny Qin smiled and said, "No, we are just like ordinary people. Even if dynasties change, we will still do what we should do."

There are such tomb keepers? Lin Yue was so curious!

She thought that being a tomb keeper had a lot of rules and regulations to follow.

"To acknowledge the master, one needs to take a drop of blood and merge it into the clan's formation. This formation has a backlash effect. If there is no betrayal, then everything will be fine. If there is betrayal, there will be backlash."

So that's how it is! When Qin Fang said that, Lin Yue became even more curious. How did such a powerful and unique formation identify betrayal?

Lin Yue thought of another question, which she also wanted to know.

"Why are there people with different surnames in Yejia Village instead of all of them being surnamed Ye?"

Aren’t tomb keepers a group of people?

"Well, actually, we are the outermost tomb keepers. There are four surnames in total: Ye, Chen, Liu, and Zhang. Our ancestors have settled here, but after several generations and the change of dynasties, the population gradually declined. Originally, the Ye surname had the largest number of people, and there was only one branch of Chen, Liu, and Zhang, so it's normal that we have a small population."

Lin Yue finally understood. No wonder Village Chief Ye also said that the passage led to the real tomb keeper. Maybe these people with mixed surnames were the people on the outermost circle?

In the words of Mrs. Qin, it's like their ancestors came together to settle here, and some special people followed them, forming their own society. In the past, this place was too desolate and far from towns. The current Luohe Town and Qingzhou City were not built until the founding of the dynasty. The Qin family's ancestors were hunters, and later they often traveled and accompanied others as escorts. Therefore, the Qin family's sons have practiced martial arts and fitness since childhood, which is also a means of survival.

The Chen family is a construction craftsman, and most of the houses in the village were built under the guidance of the Erwang family. As for the Liu family, their ancestors were good at business, and they were responsible for the sale of goods to the outside world for the village. But by the time of Liu Changgen, they had declined!

As for the Zhang family, there is no such surname anymore in the village. The Zhang family was well-educated, but unfortunately they betrayed their master. From the second generation onwards, they have no descendants!

After hearing this, Lin Yue wanted to exclaim, "This will wipe out all descendants! This is incredible! Not just immediate retribution, but extinction of the entire race! It seems that the master recognition formation is a bit magical!"

She was a little curious about the "master of the tomb" who was guarding it!

But when asked about this, Mrs. Qin shook her head.

"We all know this much. The old patriarch may or may not know more."

Isn’t this too... funny?

Guarding the mausoleum, the guardian doesn't even know who his master is! Isn't it funny?

Lin Yue felt that the Qin family would not lie to her. It was possible that they, or even the people in the village, didn’t know!

As for whether the old patriarch knew about it, that’s another matter!

But for things like this, you'll either know sooner or later, or the less you know, the safer it is.

Lin Yue decided that it was better to mind her own business. The old patriarch would naturally tell her what she should know, and she would not ask what she should not know.

"Apart from this incident, we are no different from ordinary people."

Qin Fang told the truth that no one knew how many generations had been keeping the tombs. It was all passed down orally from the elders in the family to the head of the family. Even the children and women in the family might not know about it. Moreover, they had never seen any tombs in the mountains, so this matter had little presence for the people in Yejia Village.

After returning home, Lin Yue did not hide the truth from the four men. They had experienced hardships and were more mature than their peers, so it was okay to let them know.

In their hearts, as long as they have enough food, warm clothes and are loved by others, that is the most important thing! When it comes to giving them a formal name, the four men's faces change slightly.

"Are we going to have an official name yet?"

Erlang was very happy. He had heard from Simao's brother that having a formal name meant that one had grown up. For them, having their own names at such a young age was something to be happy about, regardless of whether they would be recorded in the clan or not.

"Mother, what are you going to name us?"

Dalang was also a little looking forward to it. Now he could call her "mother" very smoothly and no longer felt embarrassed, because every time he called her "mother", her mother would be very gentle and kind, and sometimes she would touch his head and hug him.

He loved this! He used to envy Erlang, but now it was Sanlang and Silang's turn to envy them!

This feeling is wonderful and special!

Lin Yue thought about it, how to distinguish the four men easily? She thought of the Moonlight Base in another world. Well, let's improve it by using the name of the base's location!

"Dalang is steady and profound. Mother hopes you will shine like the sun on your three younger brothers, so we'll name you Dongyang. Erlang is enthusiastic and cheerful, as beautiful as summer, so we'll name you Nanxia. Sanlang is humble and reserved, so Mother hopes you will shine like fire, so we'll name you Xiyan. Silang is sensitive and quiet, so Mother also hopes you will be as beautiful on your own as the stars in the sky, so we'll name you Beichen. What do you think?"

The four men listened to Lin Yue memorizing the characteristics of each person and giving them good expectations. They were a little excited, silently reciting their new names, and felt joy quietly flowing in their hearts.

Sanlang and Silang had never thought that Lin Yue would name them so seriously. She didn't dislike them! She even hoped that they would become that kind of people. Their hearts seemed to be wavering a little!

"Mom, I love my new name!"

"Mom, I like my new name too!"

Dalang and Erlang rushed to say that they couldn't wait to share their new names with others!

"Sanlang Shilang, do you like your new names?"

Lin Yue asked the two younger ones, and she decided to pay more attention to Sanlang and Silang. Silang had a leg injury at the moment and needed her care even more.

The two men nodded with a smile on their faces, showing their kindness to Lin Yue for the first time.

"Okay, I'll teach you how to write your own names when I have time!"

"Really? Mother, you can write? And you want to teach us?"

Erlang was a little bit unbelievable. They seemed to have never seen their mother write before, but their mother not only knew how to write, but also wanted to teach them. Would they be able to write their own names like Simao in the future?

"Yes! Mother will teach you many things! Writing, counting, hunting, whatever you want to learn, mother can teach you, okay?"

"it is good!"

Dalang and Erlang answered in unison, their voices very loud, their little faces radiating excitement and joy.

Sanlang and Silang were a little anxious. They wanted to learn, but were afraid that Lin Yue would dislike them, so they just looked at Lin Yue expectantly.

Lin Yue patted the two men's heads and said, "If you four like, mother will teach you."

They felt a little uncomfortable and twisted their bodies.

But that’s great!

Seeing how easily they were satisfied, Lin Yue felt a pang of heartache. How many precious moments with the children had the original owner missed?

The four boys are so well-behaved and sensible, but they have suffered a lot. However, they still did not give up their mother. Even if she was just a little bit nice to them and made sure they had enough food and clothes, they would gain their love. This shows how important the mother's position is in the children's hearts!

Lin Yue secretly vowed to be better to her four children. It didn't matter if she couldn't be a good mother, she could learn to be one! As long as she put her heart into it, she would definitely become a good mother!
