After breakfast, Lou Xiaoyi massaged the shoulders of the two old madams as usual. Right now, he was massaging his mother, while Aunt Cai Huan was fanning him from the side. This was a routine that the family had to go through every day. From being dispensable to being indispensable, even the maids were not allowed to be present during this time.
These were all trivial matters of the Dong and Li family. Lou Xiaoyi did not feel annoyed because he knew that in a few more years, even if he wanted to be annoyed, he would not have such an opportunity again.
He was not an indecisive person. When he needed to make a decision, his subconscious actions were filled with ruthlessness, violence, and savagery. Just like when he hit Wushuang with the brick, or when he hit Lu Buping with the plank, he acted decisively and without any hesitation.
Therefore, he sometimes wondered, what was the purpose of my forgotten past? It seemed like he remembered a lot, but when it came to him, it was as if he had lost all of his memories.
This kind of personality that sometimes made him afraid, but he cared a lot about his family. As long as the two old madams were here, he was not willing to go out and make a living.
Of course, it was also possible that this was the nature of a rice worm. He was lazy and found other reasons to cover up his laziness.
For this fu, he did not contribute a single copper coin. Instead, he was the one who spent the most. Regarding this, he was not embarrassed at all.
It was still the same sentence. A son eating his mother was a matter of course!
To the current Lou Xiaoyi, he was completely independent. He lived his own life, made his own money, and could even support the family. He could also take care of external affairs. Was this kind of son really what a mother like Lou Yaoshi would like?
Not necessarily!
Perhaps some mothers would like this kind of son, but Lou Yaoshi and Aunt Cai Huan would not!
They were more willing to hope that their wings could protect their child, to be able to shelter him from the wind and rain, regardless of the child's age. When you were strong enough to deprive them of this right, what was left for them was only disappointment. They felt that they were useless, and then inevitably accelerated their aging!
Therefore, sometimes, being content with being a rice worm was also a kind of love.
"Mother, Auntie Cai, I'll be making a trip to An Shun Prefecture tomorrow. I'll be back in a month at the earliest and two months at the latest. I've heard that the clay figurines there are very famous. I'll bring your portraits and make some clay figurines for you …"
Lou Xiaoyi could clearly feel his mother's body stiffen. She didn't say anything.
Aunt Caihuan, who was beside him, said casually, "Will Little Yi be gone for a long time? I heard that the baby eagles sometimes get lost and can't find their way home … "
Lou Xiaoyi laughed. "I'm coming back to buy some things and to broaden my horizons … It's autumn now. Auntie Cai must be making winter clothes again. I don't want those with floral patterns! I want a plain one. Even if it's the same color, you can make two for me! "
Her mother and Auntie Caihuan also smiled. It was a smile of relief. She still wanted to come back and wear new clothes. She probably wouldn't leave forever, right? After all, to cultivators, there were too many such cases!
Those years in the capital city were different from the ordinary days in Pu City. The cultivation circle was much more developed than in the peripheral cities. There was wealth, power, and time. There were also many rogue cultivators in the capital city. Although there were also bad people, overall, the cultivation atmosphere in the capital city was much stronger than in other places.
They had seen with their own eyes how many young men and women in their prime never returned because of cultivation. They never looked back, even if their families already had a carefree life. Among them, there were talented students, children of noble families, descendants of wealthy families, and even members of the royal family!
Everyone knew, but they just didn't say it out loud. It was to protect the last bit of dignity of the country.
This was the helplessness and sadness they experienced when they knew that their children had also embarked on this path. On one hand, they couldn't bear to part with their family, and on the other hand, their children's possible path to immortality. How should they choose?
Not every young man was lucky enough to embark on this path. The probability was extremely low. This was also why, although Lou Yaoshi had given him the bamboo slips left behind by her husband, she hoped that he would fall on this path and give up himself.
Such a contradictory mentality made them worried about their gains and losses. For the first time in their lives, they hoped that their children would be more ordinary, more stupid, and more ordinary … However, gold would always shine. The small world of Lou Province could not contain the sharpness of the young man.
Fate was something that would come, and it would not not pass through the door because of your resistance!
However, Little Yi seemed to be different from other children, including his cultivation. He had never despised the cage at home. Instead, he became closer to them. It was as if he wanted to be like this until they grew old and left …
They liked this very much, but they were worried that this would delay their child's future in cultivation. Therefore, they did not speak. They did not dare to speak, for fear that they would lose him if they spoke.
Lou Xiaoyi understood their thoughts very well. It was not good to keep them on tenterhooks, so he decided to open the lid.
He put one hand on his mother's shoulder and the other on Auntie Cai's shoulder.
"Mother, Auntie Cai, Little Yi is also cultivating now. However, my cultivation is different from theirs!
Their cultivation is to abandon everything and pursue their own Great Dao. My cultivation is to grasp everything and not give up on my loved ones!
If cultivation is destined to make the people around me miss and feel pain, then it's better not to cultivate!
I don't know if they will regret their past neglect and not cherish when they think back at midnight when they achieve something.
Anyway, I won't!
I'm not afraid of wasting time! This is because I believe in my own abilities! If I can't even let my loved ones live a good life in their later years, I don't have the right to cultivate! "
His mother and Auntie Cai Huan's faces were covered in tears. They knew their child's true feelings, and this opened their hearts.
Lou Yaoshi cried and laughed. "My son is naturally the best! But, but you can't cheat anymore! "
Lou Xiaoyi laughed out loud. "I cheated based on my own abilities. What's there to worry about?!
Autumn is here. Make more cured meat. Our son wants to eat it when he comes back!
Let's go! "
Lou Xiaoyi packed up the luggage that he had prepared long ago. It was still a big and swollen bag. The two healthy horses were chosen with the best footprints for traveling.
He also did not bring along any attendants. After explaining everything to his mother, the two old madams also knew that they could no longer use common sense to judge this child who had already matured. They let him do as he pleased, no longer willing to restrain him.
The light horses left the manor, one carrying the luggage and one carrying the person, and left. That was right.
People always talk about repaying one's master's kindness. Without a mother's kindness, how could one live?
Since severing one's emotions has been the Great Dao, I will turn my back on my mother to seek immortality!
