He looked back tiredly and saw a woman in coarse linen clothes walking up quickly with a handkerchief in her hand. She grabbed Lin Yu and wiped the fine sweat off his forehead bit by bit.
"Aunty Keiko, it hasn't been long. It's about the same as usual.”
Lin Yu smiled gently.
This woman was the wife of the couple who had adopted Lin Yu, and also the mother of Ikoma and Hatsuying.
"How is it the same as usual? Look, your hands are shaking.”
Looking at Lin Yu's arm that was slightly trembling from exhaustion, the woman's expression was a little angry. Her bright eyes stared straight at Lin Yu, as if Lin Yu would not let it go if he did not give her a reasonable explanation today.
Faced with the woman's concerned question, Lin Yu laughed and touched his nose, not knowing how to answer.
Keiko said earnestly when she saw that Lin Yu was silent.
"Lin Yu, I'm not against you practicing swordsmanship. It's just that you're still young. Don't damage your body. When you grow up, your uncle and I will think of a way to send you to the dojo..."
"No need, Aunt Keiko. I'm just practicing by myself. I'll pay attention in the future.”
Seeing the self-reproach in Keiko's tone, Lin Yu didn't know whether to laugh or cry as he tried to comfort her.
The dojo was not a charity hall. It cost money. He did not want to make his already difficult life even more bumpy because of practicing swordsmanship.
Moreover, with the system around, there was no need for that.
The husband, Uei, and the wife, Keiko. In this world full of danger, this couple could be said to be one of the few shining spots of humanity.
They were already living in poverty. When they saw Lin Yu on the streets, they adopted him without hesitation.
She treated him like her own, no different from Ikoma and Hatsuying.
She took good care of him on weekdays. The two of them went out early and returned late every day to make a living so that the three children could have enough to eat.
It could be said that the first thing Lin Yu felt when he came to this world was not the cruelty of this world, but the rare warmth.
Upon hearing Lin Yu's words, Keiko caressed Lin Yu's cheek tenderly and wiped it with a handkerchief.
"Your clothes are all wet from the sweat, hurry back to the house and change. There's porridge on the table for you and Ikuma, your uncle and I are going to work.”
As he spoke, the wooden door of the shabby house behind him was pushed open again. A thin, ordinary-looking middle-aged man with bright eyes walked out.
"You little rascal, you really don't make me worry. But looking at your diligent appearance, perhaps you can really become a warrior of the Fujiwara family in the future!”
Uei's rough and calloused palm patted Lin Yu's shoulder, and his bright voice echoed in the alley.
"Alright, alright, lower your voice. The children are still sleeping!”
Keiko wasn't as gentle to Shangjing as she was to Lin Yu. She slapped Shangjing's hand off Lin Yu's shoulder and scolded him.
Shangjing was not annoyed. He touched the back of his head and smiled.
"Lin Yu, I'll leave Ikuma and the others to you. The two of us will go to work first. If everything goes well, I'll bring back some bread for you guys to eat today.”
Looking at Keiko and Shangjing's departing figures, Lin Yu looked at his tender palm and sighed silently in his heart.
This poor family had become more and more difficult after his arrival.
Both Shangjing and Huizi were commoners in Sugu Posthouse, and they were the poorest in the entire city.
The place they lived in was also the " danger zone " near the suspension bridge.
The only way to make a living every day was to go to a place close to the city wall and participate in the work of planting food in exchange for a meager salary.
This kind of low return, coupled with a lot of risk, was what supported this family.
The reason why Lin Yu worked so hard to train and endure the wind and rain was not only to improve his strength, but also to help the Uei couple share some of the pressure of life.
However, due to his current age, there wasn't much Lin Yu could do. At most, he could only bring Ikuma and Hatsukura out to do some small business to supplement his family's income.
It wasn't that Lin Yu hadn't considered relying on modern knowledge to do something to improve his life. However, in his previous life, he was a salted fish university student who didn't have to worry about food and clothing. Even if he had the intention, he didn't have the ability to realize it.
He wasn't even confident that Kabane's invasion would happen soon.
It wasn't that he couldn't deal with Kabane with his current strength, but that he was limited by his weapon.
There were only two ways to deal with Kabane.
One was to destroy the heart that was wrapped in the iron membrane and cause it to die.
This made Lin Yu helpless. Even a long sword made of steel would be broken by the strong iron membrane if it was not used properly, let alone a wooden sword.
Unless Lin Yu's current strength had already reached the point where he could pluck leaves and fly flowers without any obstacles, this was obviously still impossible.
The second was to behead Kabane.
Although Kabane's main weakness was his heart, he had lost his head and was unable to move. In the original novel, Nameless had beheaded Kabane several times.
