Douluo Continent, southwest of Tiandou Empire.
Holy Soul Village!
A small village consisting of more than 300 households gathered in the wilderness. It got its name because of an unknown soul saint who came out of it. Located in the province of Fasno, south of Nottingham.
Purple mist was billowing from the sky, and the villagers were walking in groups of three or four towards the farmland outside the village.
Work at sunrise and rest at sunset. The only child of five or six years old stood out among the rest.
Wearing a coarse linen shirt, had neat black hair, big bright black eyes, and a very innocent smile.
At this time, he had a square wooden box hanging around his neck, filled with colorful candies.
There are two gourds on his waist. If you get closer, you can smell a hint of wine and the fragrance of green grass.
From a distance, someone greeted him.
"Xiao Qiu, what's going on? Did you poke another beehive?"
Ye Qiu looked back and smiled.
"Aunt, how come you are so smart?"
"Come on! Stop being so cute. Those two bumps on your head are about to grow horns."
"Ha ha."
There was scattered laughter all around.
"Xiao Qiu, come here, quickly!"
"Give your Aunt Zhang two of those honey grapefruit candies. The sixth child in the family likes this stuff!"
"Okay, Aunt Zhang!"
Ye Qiu ignored the villagers' teasing and happily ran towards the rather burly Aunt Zhang.
Take out two candies and put them in Aunt Zhang's basket.
"Here, remember to come to my house for dinner when you have time. Your little mouth is worth it!"
Aunt Zhang smiled, took out two copper coins and placed them in Ye Qiu's palm.
"Okay, Aunt Zhang, take care!"
Ye Qiu waved at Aunt Zhang, who was walking away with a smile on his face.
Since I became self-reliant.
He rarely goes to other villagers' homes to eat.
He greeted the villagers in the fields and slowly walked towards the village.
Ye Qiu's eyes lit up slightly as he waved towards the small hill on the side of the village.
He shouted, "Hey! Xiaosan, you're up so early again to exercise!"
A thin figure was seen on the hill. He looks about the same age as Ye Qiu.
The constant baking of the sun and the stove made him look even darker, but his clothes were simple and clean, and his short black hair was neat enough.
Although he is young, his skills are so good that even adults would be ashamed of themselves.
He came down from the hill as light as a swallow, leaping continuously, and was about to land on the flat ground in the blink of an eye.
But at the last moment, he was interrupted by Ye Qiu's voice, causing him to stagger and almost fall. Tang San immediately frowned and looked around vigilantly.
Make sure no one notices that you are different.
Then he looked at Ye Qiu unhappily, "Ye Qiu, you are younger than me. Stop calling me like that!"
The words fell.
Tang San stopped showing off his physical skills and ran towards his family's blacksmith shop honestly and steadily.
Tang San never wanted to pay attention to these little brats in the village. He often isolated them and preferred to be alone.
"Xiao San, run slower and don't fall. Uncle Hao won't feel sorry for you!"
Ye Qiu was not angry. He smiled and saw Tang San off, and did not forget to send greetings to his family elders.
"Remember to say hello to Uncle Hao for me, and remember to pay for the wine he bought on credit!"
"…"
Tang San frowned. He ignored Ye Qiu's shouts and continued running towards home.
"Tsk, didn't Xuantian Baolu teach him to be polite?" Ye Qiu curled his lips.
Many times when I went to collect debts, I never got a good response from Tang San and his son. Sometimes Ye Qiu also wanted to call him a little punk.
But his strength did not allow it, and his forehead would easily be hit by a few silent sleeve arrows.
"Xiao Qiu."
Just as he watched Tang San leave, another old voice came to his ears. Ye Qiu had a smile on his handsome face as he looked at the tall and thin old man in the distance.
He immediately trotted over. "Grandpa Jack, do you want to buy candy or wine?"
"Haha. You little rascal." The village elder, Jack, stroked his neatly groomed beard and looked energetic.
He reached out and rubbed Ye Qiu's head. "Forget about the wine. Your wine is as bland as horse urine mixed with water. Only drunkards like Tang Hao would like it. You'd better get some candy for Grandpa."
"Okay, here you go!" Ye Qiu smiled innocently.
He reached out with five candies between his fingers and handed them to old Jack. Kept the money carefully and raised his head again and looked at Old Jack.
Smiling, he asked, "Grandpa Jack came to see me on purpose. Is there something you want to tell me?"
"Yes, Grandpa is here to inform you to participate in the martial soul awakening ceremony in three days."
Old Jack smiled and put the lollipop into his mouth, with strong expectations in his eyes, one could even say it was extravagant hope. There hasn't been a soul master in the village for many years.
"Three days later?" Ye Qiu's expression changed slightly, and there was a hint of longing in his eyes.
"Yes, it's in the Wuhun Hall in the center of the village. Remember to come when the time comes." Old Jack nodded kindly.
"Okay, come and eat at my house when you are free. Grandpa, I still have to notify the other children."
"Grandpa Jack, take care!" Ye Qiu stood on tiptoes and waved his hand.
When there were few pedestrians on the road, Ye Qiu finished his morning business, holding the candy in his mouth, and walked home with the box in his arms.
A lonely and silent one-room cabin. This is Ye Qiu's home. He had no relatives and was penniless; this was the situation he had when he came into this world.
I grew up eating at all the houses in the village.
"Huh~"
Lying on the cold, hard wooden bed, Ye Qiu let out a long breath. Douluo Continent, martial soul awakening. Ye Qiu, who is more familiar with this world, naturally understands the importance of martial soul.
"I don't know what kind of martial spirit I can awaken. Am I going to live and die a frog in the well?" Ye Qiu muttered to himself, then quickly shook his head with a look of disgust on his face.
"Let's not do that." Maybe the bloodline can return to its ancestral state and awaken a more powerful martial soul with higher innate soul power?
"I've had enough of this ordinary and mediocre life." Ye Qiu couldn't help showing a hint of melancholy on his face.
"If your martial soul is not good enough, then I'll just go to get a free meal and cry in Grandpa Jack's house, haha." The words fell. Ye Qiu even laughed out loud.
…
Three days passed in the blink of an eye.
Under the organization of Old Jack, many children of school age gathered in the Wuhun Hall in the center of the village.
The so-called Spirit Hall in the Holy Spirit Village is just a larger wooden house. Sheltering from wind and rain is not a problem. With so many children, this is a great business opportunity for selling candy.
Ye Qiu had a box hanging around his neck and was shouting hard. Tang San stood there quietly.
Hearing Ye Qiu repeating the same thing three times and then pausing, I always felt annoyed.
"Hey! Xiaosan, how about I treat you to some candy?" Ye Qiu approached Tang San with a smile and handed him a green lollipop.
"No." Tang San shook his head coldly. He was not interested at all in these petty favors between children.
"All right." Ye Qiu rolled his eyes.
At present, I don't have any strong resentment towards Tang San, but he does make me very unhappy sometimes.
Just after completing a few small orders, Ye Qiu saw Old Jack greeting a young man with a smile.
"Slurp~Slurp~"
Tang San was standing in front of Ye Qiu.
Hearing the sound of Ye Qiu sucking candy behind him, he couldn't help but frowned slightly.
The young man was wearing the Spirit Hall uniform, which looked good, with arrogance and superiority in his eyes. He waved away Old Jack with a wave of his hand.
Start today's main task of awakening the martial soul!
