“Ahaha stupid! He wants to be the strongest warrior?!”
“See, his body is thin dry so willing to be a swordsman? Haha!”
At night among the shady trees, there was a crowd of children who were bulldozing a small child sitting on the ground, without power, his clothes were tattered, not a few parts of his body were bruised.
“Cry calling your parents!” One of the biggest boys took this weak boy's long hair.
“Ups, you have no one. Heh."
”HAHAHA!”
The frail little boy's hair was pulled so hard as if forced to show his face. He stayed down, the other children thought he was crying.
“Sialan.” A weak, determined voice came out from the little boy.
“I... still have.. GRANDPA AN!” The little boy raised his face, with a glare of sharp eyes, he closed his eyes and pointed his face forward.
“HM!?”
TWOGH!
“REMEMBER IT!” The little boy smashed his head with the bigger boy.
“Ugh...” As a result, the biggest child fell backwards, along with that blood poured from the forehead of this little child.
“HAH! WHO ELSE!? FORWARD HERE!” The little boy clenched his hands forward, while the other little boy trembled softly with a look of disbelief.
“Ah! Mama! Xiao Liu act again!” Instantly the little ones dispersed, leaving their big friend lying on the ground.
“TIMES THAT START FIRST!” The child's face was reddened, cursing as he stomped his feet to the ground. While the other small children ran towards the village, not a few of them were frightened and crying.
“I WILL BE THE STRONGEST WARRIOR! REMEMBER IT!”
“Cih.” The little boy paused for a moment, while the wound on his forehead poked slowly.
“Liu.” A gentle man's voice rang out among the shady trees that should have been no one.
“Hah!” Xiao Liu's eyes were wide open. "Grandpa An!?" continued. Where did this old man come from?
“You want to help me cake? But it's too late!” Xiao Liu looked at an old man with long white hair.
One named Grandpa An was wearing a long white shirt, his white hair a sign of his age, but not many wrinkles were on him. His voice was gentle no matter what grandfather had called, his voice was like a stream of soothing water.
Grandpa An put his hands behind him, looking at Liu closely.
“Eh?” I don't know why Liu felt something was wrong.
“It was night and you fought in the forest? Five-year-old should be in bed now.”
Grandpa An's soft voice sounded. Even so Xiao Liu knew that his grandfather was lecturing him right now.
“Heh he fell down the cake! Grandpa don't have to pick up, Liu can go home alone!” Xiao Liu smiled widely, while the blood that poured down his forehead entered his mouth.
“UARGH! UH! I swallowed blood! I could be a demon! CUH!”
The little boy panicked and wiped his mouth immediately.
“...” Grandfather An touched his own forehead, typical of dizzy people, and set his gaze to the big boy lying on the ground then approached him and touched his forehead, and at that instant the green light shone brightly.
“Woah cool!” Xiao Liu was amazed to see his grandfather using a science.
“... Wait... Cake! Why am I not the one who was healed!?” Liu changed his expression in an instant.
Sure enough, the wound on the forehead of the lying boy disappeared.
Grandpa An stood up slowly. “Liu how many times have grandfather said?”
“...” Liu fell silent, his expression did not look alright. He thought his grandfather would help him.
“Did you say anything strange?” Highlight Grandpa An's eyes were so sharp as to force this little boy to tell the truth.
“Ah...” Liu did not dare to stare for long and stare at the ground. In the meantime he didn't say anything more.
“Say something Liu, or grandpa can't help you.”
“Other children must have complained this to their parents, you can be kicked out of the village.”
Little Liu did not say anything either, meanwhile he held his chest slowly.
“AH STUPID GRANDPA! DON'T KNOW! STOP!”
At once Liu also turned around and ran away, instead of going to the village instead of going into the forest even deeper. ‘Dumb grandfather! How many times do I explain it?! Grandpa knows! Why ask again!?’ the child screamed loudly.
Meanwhile on the other side, Grandpa An was speechless looking at Liu. He did not chase after her and instead took the older child to the village, and went straight home.
The night passed, and the next morning, Grandpa An looked at Liu's room, but there was no one there.
“Not yet home yes, maybe at home in the forest.” Grandpa An immediately went to the kitchen and processed fresh leaves, pounded, boiled, made into a drink that fit to start the day.
Coincidentally this morning was cold, Grandpa An squatted his feet near a simple fireplace. I enjoy life as it should.
“Ah~” Nothing beats a warm tea in the morning, Grandpa An takes a thick book and starts reading.
BRACKET!
“?” Grandpa An heard the sound of the door opening loudly, could there be any reports of citizens in the morning? Remembering he himself was the leader of the village.
I heard the sound of small footsteps. Grandpa An did not move from his place and continued to sip his tea.
“GRANDCH!” Liu's voice was heard from a distance.
“Ah! Liu! Come, enjoy warm tea.” Coincidentally Grandpa An made two cups of tea, just in case.
The little Liu with long hair was disheveled and also the wound on his forehead went silent seeing his parents relaxed like this. “GRANDFATHER DOESN'T CARE I DIE IN THE FOREST?” Not a loud tone, but a meaningful sentence emphasis. Liu stared blankly at his own parents.
“Ka-if there is a wild animal..stealth or anything.. grandfather does not care...?” The little boy's mouth was shaking slowly.
Grandpa An got out of his place, took a bandage from the health box, cleaned the wound on Liu's forehead and bandaged it.
“Padahal just use science in..” Liu sounded weak.
Grandpa An patted his son's shoulder. “Liu..”.
Liu looked at his grandfather seriously, it seemed like there was indeed something to talk about. Was this yesterday's problem? Maybe Grandpa An is still mad at her? Will he hear the boring talk of a parent on his child?
BRACKET! BRACKET!
“OPEN DOOR! OUR VILLAGE ELDERS WANT TO TALK!”
“Kek, someone is knocking in front.” Liu immediately rushed to open the door. "It broke his name" Grandpa An said.
“Stop.” Grandpa An moved from his place, directing his hand to stop Liu.
“Kek I've stopped, no need to block.” Liu was troubled by the grandfather's hand, which was very close to his face.
"Because of being the village elder?" Liu curious.
"THEY'RE NOT LOOKING FOR ME!" Even Grandpa An could raise his tone as well. He walked to the entrance of the house.
“Sorry Sir, don't bang hard, this wooden door is weathered, it can collapse,” said Grandpa An kindly opened half the door.
“TUAN-LORD!?”
The ones who came turned out to be rows of mothers holding torches with grim, ferocious displays.
“Ah, sorry, mom. What need is it? Why bring the torch of all? Night is still long bu.” Grandpa An scratched his ear. Understandably he is 85 years old, it is only natural that he misheard.
“THOSE FOSTER CHILDREN ARE MAKING TROUBLE AGAIN!' The mothers held up their torches at the same time.
Grandpa An was silent for a moment, while Liu approached from behind.
“AH! THAT'S IT HE CAUGHT!”
The mothers were getting more and more anxious to see Liu, they forced their way in and Grandpa An could not help it anymore.
“Eh?” Liu fell silent, it seemed like his guess was wrong.
BRACKET!
The old man kicked the door hard, harder than Liu and the crowd of mothers.
“Liu..” Grandpa An sounded serious.
“Ya cake? What?” Liu was impatient that his parents always gave a pause before speaking.
“You came too soon, they were looking for you.” Grandpa An looked at his son with a panicked look.
“Hah? Grandpa kicked me out?!”
Xiao Liu was in disbelief, not even his own grandfather expected his presence?
“Not so, grandpa explained everything last night, but the villagers don't believe.”
“Oh!” Liu so understood, it turned out that this was for his own good huh?
But he can't stay in the woods, he can't go home forever.
‘So this is what grandfather meant,’ inner Xiao Liu, he remembered his grandfather's talk last night. Every time he acted, the villagers would get angry.
"Then use the ultimate science.” Liu sounded serious, he looked at his grandfather with a glare of sharp eyes.
“Hm.” Grandpa An smiled slightly in agreement, from his body appeared a lot of smoke as if his body was about to burn.
“INI DIA!” Liu opened his eyes wide, impatient to see the great science of his parents!
“OPEN AN ELDER! OR WE BURN YOUR HOUSE!” Mothers were going crazy outside, but Grandpa An calmly opened the door again.
“Bian Lian,” said Grandpa An, his voice softer than the flow of water, now sounds like a soft caress of cool air.
“Kyaaa!” The mothers were hysterical at that instant, seeing the white-haired old man become a handsome man who smiled gently.
“Amusement! Look as much! Then go home happy! Haha!” Grandfather An raised both his hands up proudly, and before long the line of mothers dispersed in an orderly manner.
“Hah, fortunately they quickly go.” Grandpa An returned to his original form, which was long white hair and a bit of wrinkles.
“Hm, actually Grandpa's appearance is not much different from the previous.” Liu said his opinion.
“Really? Thank you son, the days as a swordsman are not in vain.”
Liu nodded, he knew Grandpa An was a versatile swordsman who took care of him since childhood. People often say ‘Where are your parents?’ but Liu proudly answered him with the same answer over and over again. Not knowing the origin of his parents did not discourage Xiao Liu, but rather he was very interested in the swordsman world and wanted to know more.
An's grandfather is an 85-year-old smelly old man, but his appearance is not as old as one might think. It was the result of his training as a swordsman that rejuvenated his appearance as well.
“KEK! I ALSO WANT TO BE A SWORDSMAN!” yelled Liu with sparkling eyes.
Grandpa An fell silent, his expression not in line with what Liu expected. “Liu, how many times have we talked about this?”
“I've got a big cake! I can be a great warrior!” Little Liu pointed at himself proudly.
Grandfather An fell silent, At Liu's age it is now natural to have practiced inner strength or Qi.
“My escaped friends, they've started cake practice!”
“You have friends?”
“Ah... means the other kids are kek!” If only the same age as him had trained, then what else to wait for?
Grandpa An did not dismiss the fact that other children have been busy processing energy throughout the day. And sometimes they steal night time to play. In Zhangkung village is not only Grandpa An who is a former swordsman, but there are also other warriors who guide the village children.
“But grandpa is retired.” Grandpa An suddenly put on a tired face, but usually he looks fresh.
“LOSE. Hmph.” Liu puffed his cheeks while folding his hands.
Liu knows very well the greatness of Grandpa An, is old anyway, but there is no need for stingy science too, right?
“I'm talented ‘kan cake?” Liu pointed at the white bandage on his forehead, it was a proof of the power he was exuding.
Liu managed to subvert the older child with just the strength of his forehead alone. Grandpa An was aware of that.
After others doubted him, why would the person closest to him be the same?
Grandpa An was silent, looking at his face back fresh, Liu was not easily lied to.
“Don't be proud of being rash.” An's grandfather did not justify Liu's act of beating up another child.
Grandpa An knew the condition of Liu's thin and weak body. His actions may be dangerous to himself.
“Ah Grandpa is the same!”
BRACKET!
Liu went outside and ran as fast as he could.
“Liu..” Grandpa An looked meaningfully at his son who was getting away.
How does it feel when you don't get something you want?
It was not without reason that Grandpa An strictly forbade Xiao Liu, it was because he had a weak body and could not possibly be a swordsman.
Even since childhood, it has been sickly, and now it is still the same. Grandpa An was always diligent in taking medicinal herbs and taking care of them so that Liu could continue to be healthy.
The pain did not leave Xiao Liu lying on the bed, instead he remained spirited as if nothing had happened. Liu was already much more mature in his childhood, he could decide things freely, which was why Grandpa An let him go wild one night. But if it's about the dream, it's another story.
Grandpa An waited for the right moment to say it, but there didn't seem to be a good time. “Grandfather can't let your dreams Liu. Grandpa won't lose you...” Grandpa An rubbed his face, while the warm tea he prepared did not drink Liu at all.
It was at that point that Xiao Liu knew, he could never become a swordsman.
