Douluo Continent: The Book of Witness and Peerless Tang Sect

As the carriage traveled along the official road, Long You could easily observe the situation outside the carriage through the transparent crystal windows installed at the front and sides.

Suddenly, Long You noticed a little boy. There were many children picking wild vegetables and fruits in the woods on both sides of the official road, but according to Long You's observation, this child who was picking at the grass by the roadside was probably the youngest among them, probably only three or four years old.

"Mom, look, isn't that child over there only three or four years old?"

"Let me see, and oh, it seems that's true. For a child this young to have to come out and pick wild vegetables, their family must be very poor. But what about their parents? No matter how poor their family is, the adults in the family wouldn't let such a young child come out on their own. Could they have run away and gotten lost?"

"Brother Lei, slow down. Let's see if there are any parents around. If not, let's wait here for a while. We can't let this child get lost."

Hearing his wife's call, Long Lei was about to slow down his car when, in the blink of an eye, the child who had been quietly squatting in the roadside bushes searching for something suddenly jumped up, turned around without looking up, and ran to the other side of the road.

Because the little boy was still shouting "Mommy," the Long family was able to pinpoint the location of his parents. However, the main concern now was not that, but rather that the little boy's actions were too abrupt, and the Long family's carriage was very close, making an accident seem imminent.

This scene startled the little boy who suddenly jumped up and ran back, and also startled the mother who turned around because of the little boy's shouts.

"Watch out, Yuhao!"

In her desperation, the mother, who was still some distance from the main road, was at her wit's end. All she could do was shout in vain to warn her child to be careful, and she couldn't even offer any concrete solutions for her child in her cries.

Clearly, with the child frozen in fear, such futile shouts were ineffective. The mother, who was frantically running towards them, was about to witness a tragedy.

Long Lei, who was driving the carriage, finally managed to control the horses. Although the children were inevitably knocked to the ground by the horses, at least the horses were now almost stationary.

Injuries may still be inevitable, but the tragedy of dying directly from a carriage collision was ultimately avoided.

The mother, who lived not far from the official road, finally ran over, and Long Lei and the other two jumped off the carriage immediately.

Zeng Xianjun first went to soothe the slightly frightened horse. This white horse, which had the bloodline of a soul beast, was obviously very intelligent. Although it was still pawing restlessly, it did not try to break free from Zeng Xianjun's embrace.

The mother, Long Lei, and Long You arrived at the side of the little boy who had been knocked away almost at the same time.

As you can see, the little boy had several bloody scratches on his body, and his right leg, which had been thrown and hit the ground, was now fractured and deformed.

However, the little boy was very strong. Despite being in so much pain that his whole body was trembling, he still managed to open his mouth and say that he was fine, even though he was looking at his anxious mother who didn't know what to do.

Although these words did not comfort the mother, after all, the little boy did not look like he was alright.

Long Lei used his spirit rings to intimidate, or rather, calm the panicked mother. At the very least, he made her move aside, allowing Long Lei's healing spirit skill to successfully land on the little boy who had been knocked down.

The camera angle shifts slightly, and to Long Lei's side and slightly behind, Long You is looking at the little boy who can only lie on the ground with a complex mix of emotions, including curiosity, amazement, and感慨.

The name the mother had called out in her panic had sparked a lot of associations for Long You. Long You felt that, if he wasn't mistaken, the little boy who had been hit by their carriage should be Huo Yuhao, the chosen one of the Peerless Tang Sect.

"This scene shouldn't have appeared in the original work, so is this a butterfly effect caused by my arrival?"

After all, if it weren't for me, Dad probably wouldn't have been driving the carriage north along the official road today, and there's a good chance that Xiao Yuhao wouldn't have been hit by the carriage today.

Tsk, looking at it this way, it's a bit troublesome! At the very least, we need to ensure that Xiao Yuhao's injury can be completely healed, but the healing soul skills that Dad recorded can only treat superficial injuries, not fractures.

Wait a minute, could we use this excuse to get Xiao Yuhao and his mother out of the Duke's mansion?

While Long You was lost in his own thoughts, Zeng Xianjun, who had completely calmed the horses, came forward to check on them and immediately recognized a familiar face.

"Oh dear, isn't this Sister Huo? I knew the name Yuhao sounded familiar! I really have to apologize for this. How are you? Is the child badly hurt?"

Seeing her child's injuries visibly improve under the effect of the soul skill, the previously panicked mother calmed down. Hearing Zeng Xianjun's greeting, she immediately turned around.

"It's Sister Zeng! How can you blame us for this? It was Yuhao's carelessness. How could he run back without looking where he was going?"

"It's lucky we ran into Sister Zeng and your family. If we had encountered a more arrogant nobleman, let alone treating Yuhao, my son and I might not even have survived!"

Although his mind was wandering, Long You still noticed what was happening. Upon discovering that his mother actually knew the mother of the chosen one of the planes before, Long You immediately turned his curious gaze to his mother.

"Come here, Xiaoyou, let Mom introduce you to Aunt Huo."

Perhaps noticing Long You's curious gaze, Long You's mother, Zeng Xianjun, seeing that her husband probably still had some work to do, pulled Long You over to greet him and then immediately began to introduce how she met the gentle mother in front of her, whose family background didn't seem very good.

From Long Ma's account, Long You learned that the process by which the two mothers met was actually quite straightforward.

Longma runs a vegetarian restaurant, and she offers special seasonal wild vegetable dishes every year. Yuhao's mom, on the other hand, always goes out to pick fresh wild vegetables during their growing season. This serves two purposes: firstly, to find something to eat, and secondly, to earn some extra income by selling the wild vegetables in the city.

Because Yuhao's mother always sold freshly picked and cleaned wild vegetables, Long's mother, who went to buy vegetables for the vegetarian restaurant, naturally often bought them from Yuhao's mother. Over time, the two became familiar with each other.

Faced with this situation, both women felt mostly embarrassed and awkward, but since they were familiar with each other, the two mothers were somewhat relieved of their worries.
