High Martial Arts: Invincible Starts from Basic Archery novel Chapter 2

Chapter 2: Chapter 2: Add Points, Level Up

The three people walked in silence to a house with a light on.

"Dad! You're back!"

In an instant, a skinny, yellow-faced boy of about twelve or thirteen ran out of the house and jumped into Chen Guodong's arms. He is Chen Fan's younger brother, Chen Chen.

Chen Chen lifted his head, looked around, and then, somewhat disappointed, asked: "Dad, did you not bring any food back this time?"

Just as he finished speaking, his stomach growled audibly.

Chen Guodong's face reddened, and he stammered, "There was an accident this time. Next time, for sure."

"But you said the same thing last time."

The boy blinked his eyes, his gaze extremely clear.

The woman quickly pulled him away, complaining, "Can't you see your Dad is injured? Be careful not to touch his wound."

She didn't dare to say that this time, his Dad almost didn't make it back.

"Ah?"

The boy followed the woman's gaze and was instantly scared, taking a step back, "Dad, I-I'm sorry."

"How is this your fault?"

Chen Guodong patted the boy's head and then looked at the woman saying, "Cook some rice soup, okay? Do we still have any money at home? I'll see if I can go to Song Family Castle to trade for some food tomorrow."

"It's long gone. I even traded the wedding ring you gave me." The woman shook her head, then went inside, scooped a half spoonful of rice from the bottom of the jar, and went to make porridge.

The rice jar had very little left. At most, it would last another week. If they finished this, there would be nothing left to eat.

"Xiaofan."

Chen Guodong waved at Chen Fan, concerned, "How's your health?"

"I'm fine now, Dad."

Chen Fan tried his best to mimic the tone and actions of his original self.

In his memory, the original self seemed somewhat afraid of his silent and reserved father; the relationship was a bit estranged. For him, this was a good thing.

Chen Guodong opened his mouth as if he wanted to say something, but finally just nodded and said briefly, "It's good that you're fine."

Dinner was thin porridge, mostly water, with only a few grains of rice at the bottom of the pot.

The four of them licked their bowls clean. As the pillar of the family, Chen Guodong had another bowl.

Afterwards, they all went to rest.

Chen Fan and his younger brother slept in the west room. He heard his parents' faint conversation beside their ears. It wasn't that he wanted to eavesdrop; their house was indeed simple, with very poor sound insulation.

"Guodong, do you know? I was so worried today, afraid you wouldn't come back like them." The mother sobbed softly.

"I will be fine, don't worry." The man's voice was steady and powerful.

"But what about next time?"

The whole house fell silent.

Chen Fan sighed softly.

Despite such hardship, where there was no certainty of the next meal, many people didn't even have a place to stay. In those cities, leaving aside whether they would take you in, the dangers in between, an ordinary person wouldn't survive even with ten lives.

Strength, only strong strength, could allow one to survive.

He closed his eyes, and with a thought, an attribute panel similar to those in games appeared in his mind, incredibly real.
