To Fang Wan, his aunt and his auntie were both his mothers! His auntie had passed away, and his auntie was about to die. Brother Yuan had landed on the land to hunt corpses, and he might have encountered danger and died. He was the only one left in the world, a piece of trash.
Fang Wan had actually long been determined to die, thinking that after his aunt died, he would just wait for Brother Yuan. If Brother Yuan died, it would be just right for him to starve to death, so that the family could be reunited.
Unexpectedly, things took a surprising turn. Yuan Ge returned at dusk, unharmed. Moreover, he brought back a lot of food and coal.
Then, he even used a magical medicine to save his aunt. To Fang Wan, this seemed like a dream, and his temperament suddenly became much more lively and cheerful, and he asked a lot of questions.
Fang Yuan hadn't expected Fang Wan to ask these questions. He'd always remembered Fang Wan as someone who spoke very little. But he'd asked anyway. How could he explain this? Fang Yuan felt a bit apprehensive.
Seeing Fang Yuan's embarrassment, Fang Wan immediately said, "Brother Yuan, I'm just asking casually. Don't be embarrassed."
Fang Yuan pondered for a moment and said, "My naughty brother, I had an adventure and met a lord with great magical powers. These magical medicines and liquids were all given by the lord. Surrendering to other lords is against the lord's laws, so don't tell anyone about this, otherwise disaster will befall you." Although the system did not prohibit telling others about the existence of the system, telling the truth might be more difficult for people to believe than one's own words.
"Okay, Brother Yuan, I understand." Fang Wan said solemnly.
"Also, don't be so frugal with food in the future. The food is full of soup, which is not okay. Because of the lord's grace, my strength has greatly improved, and I have no problem hunting zombies. We won't be short of food in the future, so you can eat as much as you want. Eat more and get stronger so that you can help me better. Do you understand?" Fang Yuan looked at his thin cousin with heartache and warned him.
"Okay, I understand, Brother Yuan." Fang Wan agreed with a smile.
Although Fang Wan was in charge of cooking, he always ate the least. He would not even eat unless he was told to.
Fang Yuan has talked about this many times, and every time he responds with the same answer, "I know, Brother Yuan." However, Fang Wan still does what he is supposed to do and refuses to listen to any advice.
Fang Yuan knew that Fang Wan had become like this since he recovered from his illness three years ago because he was weak and sickly and could not go out to work.
He felt that he was a waste and that eating was a waste of food. If it weren't for his mother and him constantly supervising him and giving him some advice from time to time, Fang Wan might have really starved himself to death.
The next morning, at daybreak, Fang Yuan and Fang Wan woke up as usual. Fang Wan had to make breakfast, while Fang Yuan had to go out to work. Fang Yuan looked at his mother, who was sleeping soundly, her breathing steady, her complexion rosy and radiant.
Fang Yuan carefully fed his mother another bottle of nutrient solution before quietly chatting with Fang Wan over breakfast. The meal was noticeably richer this time, and Fang Yuan casually ate two bowls, supervising Fang Wan as he finished two more. Then, he gathered himself, grabbed his shield and sword, and prepared to leave the house to hunt the zombies.
After taking one last look at his mother and giving her some instructions about household matters, Fang Yuan reluctantly left home.
Not long after Fang Yuan left, Fang Yuan's Uni-President Iced Black Tea woke up. Fang Wan had just finished cleaning up the dishes and saw his auntie wake up. He asked happily, "Auntie, are you okay? Brother Yuan just left. Otherwise, you can still see Brother Yuan."
"Xiao Yuan went off to hunt corpses again?" Fang Yuan's mother naturally remembered seeing Fang Yuan come home before she fainted. Why would he leave home to hunt corpses so early in the morning?!
Fang Wan immediately whispered to his aunt Fang Yuan's explanation. It sounded like a legend, but Fang Wan believed it, trusting Fang Yuan. Even if there were discrepancies, it was the most truthful answer Fang Yuan could give.
"Xiao Yuan has found his lord, this is a good thing!"
Fang Yuan's mother was born into a warrior family and had been the mistress of a warrior family for half her life, so she was quite open-minded about it.
"I'm glad to know that he's okay. The lord's mission is more important." Although Fang Yuan's mother was very worried about Fang Yuan, she no longer had any intention of stopping Fang Yuan.
This is the value of contemporary people in this world, a value that has been maintained for ten thousand years. A warrior's priority is to obey the orders of his lord. To sacrifice one's family for the sake of the lord's orders is a sign of loyalty and righteousness, a virtue that every warrior should possess.
"How strong is Fang Yuan now?" Fang Yuan's mother asked the question that concerned her most.
"Brother Yuan seemed to have mentioned it yesterday, a high-level warrior. Brother Yuan's master is extremely powerful and generous. He bestows medicines and fluids, inherits combat skills, and gives weapons. He doesn't even care about the fangs he gets from hunting zombies, as they all belong to Brother Yuan. I've never heard of such a master. Here, Auntie, these are the fangs Brother Yuan gave me before he left. They're for emergency use."
Only after looking at the fang did Fang Yuan's mother realize the reality of these words.
"Finding such a lord is a blessing for Xiao Yuan and our Fang family. I hope Xiao Yuan can be promoted to a warrior soon, restore the family's glory, and regain our family's status."
For Fang Yuan's mother, restoring the family's status as a warrior is her lifelong ambition. She saw no hope before, but now Fang Yuan has found a new lord. In just one day, he has acquired the strength of a high-level warrior, which has given her hope again.
"Aunt, you're still sick, why are you getting out of bed? You'd better lie down quickly. If anything happens to you again, how can I face Brother Yuan?"
"Xiao Wan, you look much better, and your personality is much more cheerful. You talk more now. Hehe... Don't worry, I know my body, I'm fine. I'll get up and do some work and move around."
"Aunt, if you need anything, just tell me. As for the work, Brother Yuan has warned you not to go. The food and coal at home are enough for us to eat for half a month. Brother Yuan will have income like yesterday every day. As your strength increases, the income will only increase. You don't need to go out to work. Doctor Jin also warned you to recuperate as you are seriously ill. Only when you are well can Brother Yuan rest assured to do the Lord's work outside, right?"
"Yes, that's true." Fang Yuan's mother was reminded by this statement that Fang Yuan was now the master's wife and would soon be restored to the status of a warrior family. She couldn't go out to work now, as this would bring shame to Fang Yuan and ruin the reputation of the Fang family!
Fang Yuan's mother, who had been the matriarch of a warrior family for half her life, immediately caught on. She no longer insisted on going out to work. Fang Wan was delighted that he had persuaded his aunt. He also became more confident and cheerful.
