Year 1036 of the Zhang Dynasty - Outlands of Heavenly Phoenix City - South village
(Xiaoyan POV)
“Xiaoyan, Time to eat“ Jiahan
Mommy is calling me.
“Yeees“ Xiaoyan
I sit next to daddy who was already eating his rice at the table.
“Lets eat a lot and move a lot“ Wen
He likes to say that.
“That is why everyone calls you fatty“ Jiahan
And mommy likes to answer that.
“It doesn't matter how they call me, I will keep eating“ Wen
Both of them are smiling.
“I like daddy“ Xiaoyan
“That is my daughter, on your ninth birthday next month I'll buy you something nice“ Wen
He caresses my head, That ruined my hair but I'll bear it for the gift.
“The order of handkerchiefs is ready“ Jiahan
My mommy is a seamstress.
“Good, today we will make a lot of coins“ Wen
And daddy is a merchant, they make a good team.
“I will try harder in the future so we can make more coins“ Xiaoyan
I am training to be a seamstress like mommy.
“I am looking forward to it“ Wen
After that we finished our breakfast and daddy went to the door.
“It is time for me to go“ Wen
“Take care“ Jiahan
“Bye daddy“ Xiaoyan
......
...
That day last week was the last time we saw daddy.
“No...“ Jiahan
Mommy was kneeling in the floor after a friend of daddy come to talk to her in the house.
“Apparently, the cultivator bumped into him in the commercial section and took out his anger about something on Wen“ Daddy merchant friend
Daddy was dead...

“No, no, no, nooooooooo!“ Jiahan
Mommy...
......
...
Mom didn't come out of the room for two days.
*Knock* *Knock*
“Mom, please eat something“ Xiaoyan
I am sad but mom needs me, I cant cry now.
“Open your mouth“ Xiaoyan
Mom lost all desire to live and now I need to feed her or else she will not eat.
“Dad wouldn't like to see you like that, please wake up“ Xiaoyan
Mom...
......
...
Three days after mom entered the room, she came out alone and said...
“Xiaoyan you will have a brother!“ Jiahan
A brother?
“But dad...“ Xiaoyan
“Wen let this gift to me before going, he really was a man that thinks at future“ Jiahan
I really don't understand but mom is smiling, that is all I need to know.
“Mooooom“ Xiaoyan
My tears started to fall , I couldn't hold them anymore.
“Whaa“ Xiaoyan
I cried in the arms of mom.
“Everything is going to be okay now, thanks for taking care of me until now“ Jiahan
“Whaaaaaa“ Xiaoyan
......
...
Eight months have passed and mom's belly has grown a lot.
“Mom, are you going to be alright working like that?“ Xiaoyan
I am not sure why, but people say that pregnant women shouldn't overwork.
“I am fine, there is another month before he is born“ Jiahan
For some reason she is convinced that it will be a boy.
“I will go now“ Jiahan
Now that dad is gone, she takes care of selling too. I have to grow fast to help her.
“???“ Xiaoyan
I hear noises outside... horses?
“I have a bad feeling“ Xiaoyan
I go outside of the house and in the central square there are three horse riders in green clothes.
“Do you have any business with me?“ Jiahan
And in front of them there was mom.
“That one is perfect, her child will look like one I could have“ Female cultivator
I don't know what that means but it cant be something good. A guard gets off his horse and grabbed my mom by her right wrist.
“What are you doing to my mom?!“ Xiaoyan
“Commoner, do not interfere with an affair of the Wang family“ Wang family cultivator A
“Xiaoyan don't speak or they will kill you, me and the baby“ Jiahan
“Ghhh“ Xiaoyan
I already know that, but...
“With this my position in the harem will increase“ Female cultivator
They put mom in one of the horses.
“Goodbye, I love you Xiaoyan“ Jiahan
Is this all what we are to cultivators? objects to break or take?
“Mom...mommy“ Xiaoyan
No... I cant bear to lose her too!
“Please someone save her! save my mommy!“
I cry while asking for something impossible.
“Please don't let her die too! SOMEONE PLEASE!!!“
...
“Neiiggh“
One of the horses make a sound and a man appear in front of me.
“Don't worry, I am here to help“ man
The man was wearing something resembling thick brown clothes but they covered all his body even his head. But that wasn't important right now.
“MOMMY!“ Xiaoyan
“Xiaoyan!“ Jiahan
He brought mommy back!
“Trash, you dare to def...“ Female cultivator
After one second, the cultivator disappeared and the man has his left hand on the ground at the side of the horse.
“What happened?“ Jiahan
I don't know either.
“Guards, get out of here“ old man
He spoke to the guards and they obey him, are the afraid of the man?
“UUGGG!“ Jiahan
“Mom! did they hurt you?“ Xiaoyan
“No, it is the baby. He is coming“ Jiahan
......
...
The midwife came out of the room, but there was no baby.
“...The baby doesn't come out...I am sorry“ midwife
“No...that cant be“ Xiaoyan
The only reason mom got up was because of the baby, if he dies... Why? why cant we just be happy?
“This may require a C-section“ old man
The old man, now in normal clothes, spoke.
“A what? can you save the baby?!“ Xiaoyan
He enters the room where Mom is and closes the door.
“Nobody enter this room“ old man
If it is that old man, maybe...
...
“Wha, whaaa“
That voice.
“You can come in now“ old man
My body moved by itself.
Mom was on the bed with the baby in her arms.
“Look Xiaoyan, this is your brother“ Jiahan
Brother, brother, my brother.
“Wen, That will be his name“ Jiahan
Dad, your name will continue to exist in this world.
