Chiyou looked at the source of the voice, and the person he saw was none other than his own father.
"father?"
Chiyou is shocked and he can't believe in his eyes, he is blind yet somehow he can see his father right now
Even his vision seems to come back and he can look around him.
He can see that right now he is in a forest with his father who has a bow and an arrow bag, but
When Chiyou looked at his hands, he saw that his hands are no longer big but small, and then he noticed his body.
He is a small kid right now.
'What the...' Chiyou is shocked to see himself in a small body.
His father, Cheng, looked at him and asked "What are you doing standing there thinking?
Come with me, we have to hunt some animal for tonight's food or your mother will kick me out of the house hahaha
hearing those words, Chiyou also smiled and laughed a little. He clearly remembers every single day he spent with his father and mother, he knows that his mother is a little bit dominant in the house.
and there were times when his mother kicked his father out of the house when he failed to get food.
But only for a minute or so, she would bring him back again.
"Lets go" His father said with a smile
His father turned around and took his step into the forest, seeing his fathers back getting thinner,
Chiyou also had his steps moving towards his father, without knowing that he is walking.
Chiyou follows his fathers back.
Soon, they both come to an open space, where a wild boar could be seen eating grass,
They both hide behind a bush
"Chiyou, tell me
What can you see in front of your eyes?" His father asked
Chiyou remembers this question, every time he leaves the house with his father for hunting, he always asked this question
The first time he was asked this question, he answered "I could see grasses, trees, sky, and the boar.
I can see everything that is in front of my eyes father"
hearing his answer, his father said no, he is wrong and he let the animal that was in sight of him go away.
Chiyou asked the reason for letting the target go, but his father never told him the answer, he said "You need to find that answer yourself"
Chiyou practiced his archery alone, as days passed by, he slowly - slowly learned about hunting, and then finally he comes to know the answer to his father's question.
"Chiyou, tell me
What can you see in front of your eyes?"
Hearing this question again today, Chiyou is filled with happiness
He looked in front and replied "Father,
The only thing i can see right now is that boar, nothing else"
His father smiled, he said "You are truly my pride"
Then his father stands up, he took his wooden bow and put the arrow on the bows string and pulled it back
"Son, always remember,
For a hunter, all you need to look is your target... nothing else matters.
You should always give your everything whenever you are hunting, after all who knows if you will get a second chance or not"
*SWISH*
*SCREAM*
*THUD*
The boar screamed in pain and then falls down, the arrow had pierced the head of boar.
"Lets go" His father said and both of them walked towards the dead boar
His father took the arrow out of the boar, cleaned the blood on the arrow from his clothes, and put it back on his arrow bag.
Chiyou father closed his eyes and said "Son, No matter how strong you get,
No matter how skilled you get,
No matter what you become,
Never forget to pay the respect to those who have fallen for you or because of you.
Because this boar is dead, we can feed ourselves with food tonight, so pay your respect to him"
Chiyou nodded and paid his respect to the dead boar
His father lifted the boar on his shoulder and both of them starts walking back to their home.
Soon Chiyou and his father reached their home, a small house inside a forest, near a water stream.
The house has a cooking area outside the house and has a small crop field, there is also one cow and a bull.
"We are back dear!" Chiyou's father said in a loud tone,
Chiyou mother, Lihua, a demi human, looked at them. She is taking milk out of a cow right now
She clears her sweat from her face, with a warm smile, she said "Welcome back"
*whoo*
a cold wind blows, and Chiyou jumps at his mother's arm for a hug
"ooh my, did your father hurt you?" His mother asked as she gave a glare at her husband
Seeing her glare, His father had a chill air run down his spine, he said "Oye! Son, tell your mother that i didn't do anything or she will cook me tonight"
Chiyou giggled, and looked at his mother, he said "Nope, i just missed you"
Soon, night came and everyone had there dinner.
Chiyou enjoyed the food and also cleaned the plates.
Then he spread a mat on the ground and then spread a large piece of clothes to sleep, his father and mother also come to him and all three of them lie down
"Son, are you sad?" His mother asked
"No, how can i be sad when i am by my parents side. I am happy" Chiyou replied
"Then why are you crying?" His mother asked as she saw tears coming from her sons eyes
"Because i have go" Chiyou replied
"Do you hate us?"
"No... how can i hate my parents? I put you both above everything"
"Then dont -"
"Its okay dear" His father said in between,
He said "Our son has something to do, let him do it.
after all, he is no longer a cry baby"
"But still..."
His mother wanted to stop her child from going away, but his father one more time said "Dear... its okay.
We have taught him everything.
He is our son, he wont fall down, right?"
"yes, father" Chiyou said as he closed his eyes
