Chapter 137 Natural Magic

"Leo!! -Leo!! Where did you die, this little bastard? A fierce curse from his mother made Leo's heart tighten, and he quickly got up from the ground and ran in the direction of the roar.

This little boy is only four years old. Because of extreme malnutrition, he seems to be shorter than other children of the same age. He wears only a pair of shorts made of rags all over his body, which can only cover his shame but not the cold.

It was already late autumn, and the climate had become wet and cold. The little boy had two long snots on his face, flowed through his mouth, wiped his hand horizontally, sucked it hard, and stood timidly a meter away from his mother.

As soon as her mother saw him with a disgusting expression, she picked up the broom beside her and threw it over. Oni quickly put down her work in front of her little brother and begged her mother, "Mom, don't fight. My brother is still young. He is ignorant. When he is bigger, he will understand."

If this scene is seen by outsiders, they will definitely think that the mother is a stepmother and is abusing the child born by her ex-wife. But in fact, this grumpy woman is the child's biological mother, Reina.

Since her husband died on the day the birth of her child, life has become increasingly poor. With four children, she can't tell all kinds of hardships. The difficulties of life make this woman like an insect frozen by resin, and she still can't move no matter how hard she struggles.

When all this depression made the poor woman breathless, she urgently needed a breakthrough to vent these emotions, and Leo, who killed his father as soon as he was born, naturally became the object of his mother's hatred and became the sinner of the family, a drag of a free meal.

From the beginning of his memory, his mother seemed to dislike himself very much. He would never be soft to beat himself. If his brothers and sisters hadn't stopped him, he would have been killed by his mother. But this child is very smart. When he was more than two years old, he already understood the plight of his family. He often followed his brothers and sisters and went to the fields to help with some capable farm work. The brothers and sisters also loved this sensible little brother. They would rather not have enough to eat than leave him one more.

But after all, the child is a child. He lives in a quiet mountain village. There are so many beautiful wild flowers and so many interesting insects around him, all of which makes Leo full of curiosity. Sometimes he stops, forgets the work in his hand, and runs to observe a jumping earthly, surprised by its powerful jump. Leap ability.

Sometimes I envy a bird that can fly in the blue sky. More often, he will lie on the ground and watch the ants move things. He is very surprised by the power of ants. How fascinating is it that such a dusty little thing can lift leaves several times larger than himself?

Leo has always known that he has strength surging in his abdomen. When he was more than two years old, he went to work on the mountain with his brothers. His task was to remove the stones that collapsed into the cliff. Because he was too small, his eldest brother Lux bent down and said to him, "Leo, you have to be obedient, sit on the side, and go home when we move." Leo nodded obediently and sat on a stone on the edge of the ground.

The brothers struggled to move the stones, and it took a whole morning to lift the stones that could be moved to the edge of the land. There are many stones here, and there are few soils. The land is the lifeblood of the mountain people, so it is a must for everyone to protect the land and prevent soil loss. When doing these tasks, the villagers will be very careful.

But the brothers finally encountered a problem, that is, there is a three-ton boulder in the middle of the land. No matter how the two children push it, they can't shake it at all. After all, the two children are only nine and seven years old, and even adults may not be able to push it.

The two children are a little embarrassed there. The stone takes up too much land. My mother will be angry. Since her father's death, her mother's temper has become very irritable.

Leo looked at his brothers. He knew very well what punishment they would receive if they didn't complete his mother's task. He walked over in a hurry and reached out to push the huge stone. When his brothers saw his behavior, they thought he was playing and didn't care, but the stone was actually pushed by Leo.

Brothers rubbed their eyes, that's right! The boulder was rolling towards the edge of the land, rolling little by little. After Leo pushed the boulder to a pile of rocks on the edge of the land, the two brothers rushed up excitedly and picked up Leo: "Leo, you're great!" Leo, you are great! You are such a strong man!" Hearing his brothers' praise, Leo smiled innocently: "Brother, I'm Hercules!"

When they got home, the two brothers told their mother and sister about this amazing thing. Oni picked up Leo happily and said, "Leo, you're great! You can be the boxing champion when you grow up!" In the Poltan Empire, praising a person for his bright future is to become a boxing champion and dominate the whole continent.

But his mother's face was full of contempt and uncution: "What kind of boxing champion can he be? A debt collector who eats for free will be a poor life all his life!" A series of curses popped out of the woman's mouth, which seemed not to be talking about her own son, but a big enemy.

Leo didn't say anything, but he buried it in his heart. I want to be the seed of the boxing champion. He secretly vowed in his heart that he would find a way to support himself and not be a debt collector. How much he wanted to get his mother's affirmation and his mother's love in his heart!

Although my mother is very fierce to her brothers and sisters, she cares about them. I can see that she loves them in her heart, but why she has never received a little care from her mother, let alone being encouraged and affirmed by her. Maybe he killed his father. Thinking of this, he often hates why he was born on that day. Maybe if he was not born on that day, his father would not have died.

He sometimes imagines what his father looks like. He feels that he should be like his neighbor Ferry's father, a strong and dark miner. He often touches his son's head affectionately, which makes Leo envious.
