After dark, the family sat at the table to eat dinner.
Azeya wore a faint smile and watched his two sons wolfing down the rice.
Because Shen Tong came home, two more dishes were added to the dinner.
Shen Tong also took the opportunity at the dinner table to tell his family all about his experiences in the city.
"Oh my God! You killed Buddy Bian?!" Jeff looked at him with his eyes wide open in disbelief.
"Well, I just happened to get it by accident." Shen Tong deliberately said this to conceal the truth.
Jeff poured himself a glass of ale, took a sip to calm his nerves, and continued: "Shen Tong, I have to admire your courage."
"To be honest, I don't have the courage to be a bounty hunter."
"In fact, your mother and I are worried every day when you are in the city these days."
"Especially your mother, she hasn't slept well for several nights in a row, and even accused me of letting you go several times."
"Ah." Jeff said at the end, and a bit of self-blame appeared on his thick beard.
Shen Tong looked at the expression on his stepfather's face, and a little warmth rose in his heart, so he comforted him: "Don't worry, father."
"As you can see, I didn't have any accidents."
"And now I have become a bounty hunter. Yesterday I shot and killed the wanted criminal, the gang leader Barty Bairn."
"I am already able to live independently outside." Shen Tong said with a smile.
Eric, who was eating at the side, was also excited after hearing this. "Brother, you are really amazing. You became a bounty hunter at the age of 12."
"I want to be a bounty hunter like my brother in the future to catch bad guys."
As he spoke, Eric became fascinated and began to dance.
"Ahem..." Seeing this, Jeff coughed twice and interrupted: "Eric, you are still young now, let's talk about the future later."
"Yes." Azeya also said: "Bounty hunters are too dangerous for you."
"Your father and I have discussed it. I will send you to school when you are ten years old."
After the couple finished speaking, Shentong, who was eating, smiled secretly.
"Sure enough, they want my brother to go to school."
Although he had guessed the result a long time ago, Shentong couldn't help but feel a little jealous when he got it confirmed by his parents.
Because this is indeed favoritism.
However, Shen Tong did not express dissatisfaction, and even agreed that Eric should go to school.
After all, he only has one brother in two lives. Who else can he love if not Eric?
After dinner, Shen Tong returned to his room early to rest.
Just when he was about to fall asleep, his mother came to the room.
"Shen Tong."
Ayaya, wearing white pajamas, came to his side with an oil lamp in her hand.
"Mom... is there something wrong?" Shen Tong looked at her in confusion while lying on the bed.
Azeya put the oil lamp on the bedside table, and then said cautiously: "I ask you, have you killed anyone this time when you entered the city."
"Huh?" Shen Tong was stunned.
Azeya came to visit in the middle of the night, and actually asked his son if he had killed anyone?
"How should I say... Since you are a bounty hunter, you must avoid fighting." Shen Tong had to stammer in response.
"Really."
Azeya moved her red lips lightly, but her vicissitudes of life were still full of worries.
She was worried, and it was obvious.
Shen Tong also saw that her mother was worried, so she cheered up.
"You must be scared when you do this for the first time."
"To be honest, I was really scared when I heard that you were a bounty hunter. After all, you are only 12 years old, how can you catch those wanted criminals."
"Woo woo..." Azeya couldn't help sobbing when she said this.
Shen Tong saw that her mother looked heartbroken, and she was also heartbroken, so she said: "Because I want to help my family."
"Now Eric is getting older, and he will be old enough to go to school in two years."
"With our current conditions, it should be difficult to pay the tuition, mom." Shen Tong looked directly at Azeya.
When Azeya heard this, tears suddenly came out.
"I'm sorry, Shen Tong, I should have sent you to school, but my family really can't afford the fees for two children."
After saying this, Azeya cried out of self-blame.
Seeing this, Shen Tong went forward to comfort his mother sensibly, "It's okay, mother, it doesn't matter whether I go to school or not now."
"What matters is
, don't let my brother end up like me in the future."
"That's why I chose to be a bounty hunter, because it makes money quickly." Shen Tong said with a smile.
Azeya was very moved after hearing this. She didn't expect her eldest son to be so sensible, so she excitedly hugged Shen Tong in her arms.
It wasn't until ten seconds later that she slowly let go.
"By the way, Shen Tong."
"When you fight against bad guys, will you be afraid of seeing blood?"
"I heard that people who see blood for the first time will have an uncontrollable reaction in their bodies."
"Did you have any special reaction at the time?" Azeya suddenly changed the topic.
"No."
Shen Tong answered blankly, but smiled secretly in his heart.
Sure enough, this is the real purpose of Azeya's visit this time.
"Reaction to seeing blood?"
"The only creatures in this world that react to blood are vampires. "
Shen Tong was speechless and helpless.
Because Azeya knew about the existence of the Sharingan, he suspected that something was wrong with him in the city.
Plus, Azeya always thought that he was a mixed-blood, so he went to his house at night to confirm whether his son had discovered his secret.
You must know that in this world, vampires are evil creatures. They are bloodthirsty and hunt humans every day.
Even if they are mixed-blood, as long as they smell a trace of blood, the bloodthirsty genes in their bodies will be awakened and become crazy.
To avoid tragedy from happening again Since childhood, Azeya never allowed Shentong to go to places like slaughterhouses, and even killed chickens secretly.
He was afraid that the vampire genes would be triggered, exposing his identity and causing a big mistake.
Besides, bounty hunters are a profession that is on the edge of blood.
So when Shentong was not at home, Azeya was worried all day and couldn't sleep.
After all, once something happened, the consequences would be unimaginable.
But Azeya's worries were all in the wrong direction.
Because Shentong was not a vampire at all, he was just a human with Uchiha blood.
"Mother, I'm sleepy, let's talk about this today."
Shentong deliberately yawned to end this embarrassing topic.
"Well, go to bed early."
Azeya couldn't stay any longer after hearing this, so he left the room with the oil lamp.
Before leaving, Azeya added, "If you have anything to say, you can come to talk to mom at any time."
"Yes... I know. "Shen Tong replied helplessly.
Wait until the next morning.
The sun shines through the glass into the room, making people feel warm.
Shen Tong slowly opened his eyes, sat on the bed and stretched.
He looked at the natural scenery outside the window, and thought of what Azeya talked about last night.
"Hey, I never thought that I would be mistaken for a vampire because of the Sharingan."
"By the way, did my mother's words before she left last night hint that I should confess that I am a vampire?"
"It's really hard to be nervous, I'm not that kind of monster."
"I hope today's matter ends here, and I hope there will be no problems in the future."
Shen Tong sighed lightly, then left the room and went outside.
The house seemed a little calm in the morning. Jeff went to work in the fields, and Azeya also accompanied several village women to the river to wash clothes.
As for Eric, he ran to the church to attend classes early in the morning.
"It's so free when no one is at home. "
"By the way, I haven't practiced in the forest for a long time."
"It's a good opportunity to practice the new ninjutsu I've acquired."
Thinking of this, Shentong's eyes suddenly became hot.
Then, he ran towards the forest alone.
