Chapter 61 The Tragic Families of Heroes
Yasuo's father was a man as quick as the wind. He entered Yasuo's mother's life like the wind, and then disappeared like the wind, leaving behind only a new child for the widow who had to live with her only son.
When a widow encounters such a thing, there are naturally only two possible scenarios as to how the villagers will view her.
One is to accuse her of being unfaithful and that she deserved what happened to her. The other is to understand and sympathize with her and help her raise the child.
Yasuo's mother was lucky, she lived near the dojo of Elder Suma. Elder Suma, who hated evil in his youth, still couldn't tolerate any sand in his eyes when he was old. He fiercely rebuked the villagers who accused Yasuo's mother, and then promised Yasuo's mother that he would accept Yongen as his apprentice when he reached the right age.
Li Ke watched all of this, but as he had been incompatible with Ionia from the beginning, he couldn't really help them at all. In addition, the woodcutter almost lived alone in the wild, so he and Yasuo had never had much interaction.
After the age of seven, although they were in the same dojo, Yasuo was a genius in wind-controlling swordsmanship, while Li Ke was just a disciple who did menial work, so they had even less interactions.
Yasuo’s friends are all talented swordsmen. Even Yongen doesn’t have a very deep impression of his fellow apprentice Li Ke.
I just know that there is a junior brother who is taciturn but hardworking.
Just an acquaintance.
So he actually knew very well that Yasuo's arrogance was not only because of his personality, but also because if he was not arrogant, his mother would be insulted and he would be bullied.
This is a very real thing, and it is a feeling that only children from single-parent families can understand.
When only one part of the double love is left, children will cherish the remaining love doubly and hate those who abandoned them and made fun of them.
Because of some touching reasons, Li Ke told Shen about the story of Yasuo and Yongen, which made Shen feel worse.
"I actually can't quite understand it, because my mother died very early and I was raised by my father, so..."
Shen actually didn't have no feelings as he said. On the contrary, he had great feelings.
He couldn't imagine an irresponsible father, because although his father was old-fashioned and unkind, he undoubtedly loved him very much. The reason he didn't pass the position of Twilight Eye to him was not because he was weaker than Jie, but because the position of Twilight Eye was very dangerous.
Twilight Eyes' family is in even greater danger.
He hopes that he has a complete family and that his children can have a complete family.
So when he saw a mother raising her child alone, he was moved, but at the same time, he felt a strong disgust for the irresponsible father.
For him, killing such an irresponsible guy would not be excessive.
Seeing such people made him sad, but when he thought about the future when more and more children would passively lose their fathers or mothers after Noxus launched a war, his heart ached.
The more worried he was, the more sober he became, and he thought about the future he saw in Li Ke's Ionia Five-Year Plan, the plans and prospects in that book.
After he thought of this, a voice rang out.
“If you have the ability to do something good and benefit more people, why not do it?”
But immediately, another voice sounded.
"No, I am a disciple of the Order of the Balance... My father is the Eye of Twilight, Ku Shuo. I cannot break the commandments. For the sake of my own ideas, I disregard my father's lifelong reputation and achievements! Think about it! Master Ku Shuo's son betrayed the Order of the Balance! What a huge stain this is!"
A look of struggle appeared on Shen's face. Two voices kept fighting in his mind. In the end, he could only sigh helplessly and chose to continue being his disciple of balance.
He made a decision silently.
When Li Ke arrived at his destination, their friendship was over, and he would not further develop his friendship with Li Ke.
Because Li Ke's path is different from his path.
Although he agreed with Li Ke's goal and wanted to fight alongside him, he could not betray his father and damage his father's reputation.
This is what children should do.
"I was raised by my father..."
Li Ke looked at Shen with pity, which made him feel a little uncomfortable.
Although Li Ke has no objection to fatherly love, fatherly love and motherly love are different after all.
A father's love is usually a little unbearable for children. After all, most fathers want their children to grow up quickly. Shen must have suffered a lot when he was a child.
Shen smiled awkwardly. Although he was grateful to his father for raising him, he had to admit that sometimes he felt that his father had gone too far.
When he was eight years old, his father threw him off a cliff and asked him to climb up without any help. At that time, he really thought his father was going to kill him, but in the end he still climbed up the cliff.
It was not until a few years ago that he found out that his father had always been following him, ready to rescue him at any time, but at that time, he hated his father very much.
But when he thought of this, he couldn't help but think of someone.
"But speaking of background, Jie's background is similar to Yasuo's."
He sighed slightly. Jie's father was also an irresponsible man. So in order to make a name for himself and to relieve his mother from the burden of raising him, Jie came to the Sect of Balance at a very young age and wanted to join it.
But to be honest, Jie's talent is really not worthy of his hard work.
"Jie... I mean Jie as well?"
Li Ke was really surprised. He didn't expect that the future Jie would also be a fatherless person.
"Yes, his father was also an irresponsible man. He left because he didn't want to farm. His mother had to take on the responsibility of raising him, but it was difficult for a thin woman to support herself..."
Shen sighed slightly. Jie's mother once cried outside the temple and asked her son to go back and show him the 'good things' he had gotten after working hard.
However, Jie never showed up, seemingly heartless and ungrateful, but in fact both Shen and Jie knew that if Jie really followed the other person back, the woman would definitely work harder to prevent Jie from leaving again, and with his physical body, doing so would undoubtedly cause him to die early.
But Li Ke thought of something else.
"The hero of Ionia..."
He narrowed his eyes.
The probability of single-parent families is so high!
