Chapter 60: Mother and Son Living a Hard Life
Li Ke didn't look back, he just reached out and grabbed a stone that was thrown at the back of his head.
He squinted his eyes. The force of the stone was quite strong. If it really hit him, he would be unconscious for at least two or three days.
Li Ke turned around with the stone in his hand and saw a very beautiful woman.
Although her face was full of sorrow and frost, and even had many stains, and her clothes were very worn out, if she dressed up well, she would be a very beautiful lady.
The purple-pink hair, or to be more precise, the purple-pink hair that was closer to silver-white was very smooth and the amount of hair was quite amazing, making this woman look three points more beautiful.
But now, the expression of this beauty was quite terrified. She looked at the several swords on Li Ke's body, as well as the unconcealed warrior aura of Shen and Li Ke, and became more and more panicked.
She pulled her son, who still had an angry look on his face, and looked at Li Ke and Shen who had stopped the carriage with some trepidation, fear and worry in her eyes.
There are quite a few villains in Ionia, especially after seeing Xia tied up in Li Ke's carriage, she subconsciously hid her son behind her plump body.
So, before Li Ke and Shen could say anything, she spoke.
"Apologize now! Seti! Apologize now!"
Although she also heard what Li Ke said—Vastaya always has some incredible abilities.
But she knew that whether Li Ke lowered her voice or said something deliberately, she was not hostile to them. But her son was very sensitive to all similar words because of the insults and exclusion from the people where they lived.
So, it was indeed his son's fault.
She put down the basket on her back, which contained her goods: herbs and some specialties from Shangzan that she sold to Preshiden, and some things she bought from Preshiden and sold back to Shangzan. She didn't make much money from such reselling, but it made their lives much better.
But looking at the powerful auras of Li Ke and Shen, she put down the backpack not only to lower her son's head, but also to escape with her son if Li Ke attacked them.
The goods and money in the backpack can effectively block Li Ke's pursuit of them, and also allow her to run faster with her son in her arms.
And this little trick has actually saved them two or three times.
But there was nothing she could do. Who made her lose the man she could rely on?
Seti lowered his head. He didn't want to make his mother sad. In fact, he knew he was wrong when he threw the stone, because he also saw the Vastaya on Li Ke's carriage and the other party's beast feet.
He understood immediately, but he was overwhelmed by the anger in his heart and threw the stone in his hand.
But just as he was about to apologize, Li Ke suddenly jumped off the carriage and interrupted him.
"I'm sorry, ma'am. It's my fault. I said something I shouldn't have said. There's nothing wrong with this child defending his mother. He doesn't need to apologize to me. On the contrary, I should be the one to apologize."
As Li Ke spoke, he took his lunch from the carriage.
"Even though it's just some beef, please accept it. This is the price I should pay for my own gaffe."
Li Ke handed the best scallion pancake and a large piece of beef to the pink-haired woman and gave her a bright smile.
The mother and son lived alone in this world, and there was no need for him to make their lives more difficult .
However, this gentle woman became even more panicked. She bowed to Li Ke and thanked him, but did not accept the food in Li Ke's hand.
"Ah, sir, I'm sorry, I didn't teach this child well... This is our apology."
She looked at Li Ke's smiling face and felt grateful, but it was indeed Seti's fault. If he had been calmer, this would never have happened.
She couldn't bear to let her child receive an apology from the victim after doing something wrong.
Reaching out his hand and taking out a jade pendant from his pocket, Seti recognized that it was one of the few pieces of jewelry left by his mother. He clenched his fists and hated his own irrationality even more.
Shen, who witnessed all this, sighed. Although he did not have much prejudice against Vastaya, to ordinary people, Vastaya were not really friendly.
But seeing this scene, he still felt compassion.
"Ma'am, it is our duty to help the weak, and he did speak out of turn."
"That's right."
Li Ke smiled and handed his lunch to the other person, then turned around and jumped onto the carriage. At this time, Shen continued to drive the carriage forward, making it impossible for the woman to catch up with them.
Seti's mother sighed. She looked at Li Ke and Shen who were escaping , and reluctantly accepted Li Ke's lunch, then touched her son's head.
"Remember, you must not be impulsive next time, understand?"
Seti nodded. He did not look at the lunch that Li Ke brought them. Instead, he helped his mother lift the heavy backpack, and then the two continued to move forward.
There was a batch of inferior goods among their cargo this time, and the mother wanted to go back to Shangzan to argue with the other party.
But Seti knew clearly that the other party thought they were easy to bully, because they were Vastaya and no one would stand up for them, so they gave them inferior products.
There will be no result if my mother goes back this time.
But if we don’t have theory, there will be more defective products next time.
Why does everyone want to bully us?
Is it because I don’t have a father?!
The future Wukong, Sett, who was still a child now, clenched his fists again. But the next moment, he saw his mother throw the jade pendant to the ground, breaking the beautiful jade pendant into pieces.
"This is the price we should pay for your inability to control yourself, Seti."
Tears welled up in Seti's eyes. He knew that when they had no money to eat, his mother would have to do heavy work again, because this time there would not be much jewelry to sell.
…
"Do you care about that child? Or that beautiful woman?"
Shen looked at Li Ke who seemed a little absent-minded and couldn't help but tease him.
Li Ke turned his head. He really cared about the child who was called Jinfu in his previous life. Although the opponent in the future would be a top single ghost, the opponent now was just a child with a bad temper.
If it wasn't his mother, he would probably have been beaten by Li Ke.
Of course it’s not because his mother is really beautiful, but because she is a qualified mother.
"It's just the sight that brings back memories."
Li Ke sighed. Sett’s experience reminded him of some bad things—of course not him, but Yasuo.
Yasuo and Yone's families are similar to Sett's, except that they and their mother are not vastaya.
