"Mom, I'm back."

When the young man returned home, he pushed open the fence and rushed into his small courtyard, and put the basket on the ground, with a sunny smile on his handsome face.

"Yi'er, are you thirsty? Mother will boil water for you."

Walking out of the low and dilapidated earthen house was a woman in her late forties with a haggard face. The deep wrinkles at the corners of her eyes showed the traces of long-term illness and weather-stained.

"Mother, I'm not thirsty, you should rest and stop working."

The young man frowned slightly, walked a few steps towards his mother, and helped her to sit down on the stone bench in the courtyard.

"Hare? Haha, good brother, you hunted it? Wow, my brother is so good, my sister likes Yi'er the most."

Another lively and cheerful girl rushed out of the hut, rushed towards the boy excitedly, and gave him a bear hug fiercely.

"Old sister, let me go, ahem, men and women are different, you are old and not young, pay attention to propriety, be crazy all day long, no man dares to want you."

The girl was about fifteen or sixteen years old, tall and beautiful, nearly a head taller than the boy, the obvious height difference made the boy imprisoned in her arms and unable to move.

"Ha ha."

The girl was even happier. She rubbed his hair and smiled teasingly: "Our Yi'er has grown up and knows the difference between men and women. When I was young, I chased my sister all day long, and wanted to hug her with a runny nose!"

"Ahem, mother, old sister is deliberately teasing me again."

The boy spit and choked in his throat, jumped three feet high in despair, and almost vomited blood.

"Okay, okay, Liu'er, don't bully my brother, he's tired after hunting, go cook."

The cheerful atmosphere in the small courtyard infected the woman, her haggard face revealed a long-lost smile.

"Okay, let's go cook and have braised rabbit meat tonight."

When the mother spoke, the girl naturally obeyed, let go of her brother cheerfully, rolled up her sleeves, took out the hare from the bamboo basket, and rushed into the kitchen happily.

After a while, the sound of kitchen knives chopping meat sounded in the kitchen, and the people who heard the rapid frequency trembled.

"Hey, manly woman."

Looking at his sister's sturdy posture, the boy shook his head helplessly, and looked back at his mother, his face suddenly darkened, revealing a little solemnity.

"Mother, my son was on the way back just now, and I heard a fisherman say that pirates have been rampant recently, and the nearby fishing villages have been patronized by pirates and have been looted. My son is worried..."

"What? Pirates?"

The woman's complexion changed drastically, and her body shook violently in shock: "Is what they said true?"

The young man's brows and eyes were dark: "There is nothing wrong with it, and besides, no one would talk nonsense about this kind of thing."

"No, the village is not safe, tell your sister, don't stew meat, eat something simple, go to the town to avoid disaster and leave tonight."

Before she had time to think about it, the woman stood up supporting the stone table with all her strength, and walked back to the house, ready to pack her things.

The boy hurriedly followed, unable to hide his worry: "Mother, don't be in such a hurry, your body?"

"Mother is fine, the safety of your siblings is the most important thing, especially your elder sister, a girl's family encounters pirates, mother dare not think about it."

The woman was so worried that when she walked to the front of the house, her legs and feet gave way, and she almost tripped over the threshold.

The young man quickly grabbed her arm and said, "Mother, don't worry, even if you risk your life, my son will protect you and sister."

"Mother knows that you are capable. She has been sensible since she was a child and loves your sister."

The woman patted his hand in relief: "You are also mother's darling, you two, nothing can happen to either of you."

"Mom, I'll help you in."

The young man paused, a warm current flashed across his heart, and a stream of light flashed in his obsidian-like eyes.
