Sorcerer's Survival Manual

Xia Wei ran to Yunxi City to find her old man to talk about cooperation.

In fact, mutants are not only allowed to stay in gathering places at the village and town level, but in order to ensure safety in cities and counties with large populations, mutants are not allowed to settle down, but there is no express rule that they are not allowed to stay temporarily.

It's just that most ordinary people are very repulsed to get along with mutants. When they see them in public places, they will deliberately avoid them. Many hotels and hotels refuse to accept them.

Of course, no ordinary people dare to treat the mutants with a bad attitude. They just watch the mutants cautiously and anxiously, always ready to escape, as if they will explode suddenly.

Basically, no mutant is willing to bear that kind of gaze, so most mutants can't leave the village where they live, so as not to receive too many stares that make them uncomfortable, and then get angry, Hurt people directly.

Xia Wei also received strange gazes before, and his temper became cloudy and uncertain at that time, and it was only after he went to Hukou Town that he gradually changed to calm.

Now that he has returned to this city where he has lived for 18 years, he has lost the unwillingness and sadness he had when he left.

Now he has no nostalgia for this city.

Xia Wei's return brought a lot of turmoil to the Xia family.

When the old man of the Xia family suddenly announced the news, the expressions of the third family of the Xia family were all shocked.

Except for Xia Qianqian, the others hadn't cared about the eldest son of the second house who they once regarded as their rival for a long time. Even his parents thought they didn't have this son for a long time.

What's more, when the old man said that Xia Wei was going home to visit relatives, Xia Yongzhen, the father of the second room Xia Wei, was the first to jump out and object.

"Dad, this is not good. Xia Wei's mutation level is very high now. Didn't he say that he has reached level five? If he comes back at this time, if something happens..."

"Shut up." Mr. Xia glanced coldly, and let Xia Yongchun, who was still about to speak, swallow his words back: "Second, it's fine for others to say that, do you remember that Xiao Wei is your son? You said that Don't you feel bad? Let me tell you, even if you don't treat him as your son, Xiao Wei is still my grandson, and he doesn't need your consent when he comes back to see me."

Xia Yongzhu's face froze, his wife Lin Huilan quickly explained: "Dad, Yongzhu didn't mean that."

"Shut up too, do you understand what you mean?" Mr. Xia was not polite at all when he lost his temper, pointing at the two people and scolding: "I put my words here, Xiao Wei came back to see me and You have nothing to do with each other, since you didn't treat him as a son before, don't treat yourself as his parents in the future."

There was something in his words, but the people present didn't hear it. The second couple looked obedient and taught, but they didn't take it seriously even though they were aggrieved.

What they are counting on now is only the youngest son Xia Ming, the eldest son, they are not rare.

Because Mr. Xia lost his temper, other people who had opinions didn't dare to bump into them to scold them at this time. The old man didn't intend to ask them to raise their opinions, and they also didn't like the second room, so they were naturally happy to see them. lively.

Speaking of the third bedroom of the Xia family, it is indeed a bit dirty because of Mr. Xia's property, but it is not to the point of life and death. At least on the surface, everyone's relationship is good, but in the past it was the eldest and the third bedroom because of Mr. Xia Wei. Chong was a little jealous of Erfang, so it was inevitable to run on them. Now, they are no longer jealous, but they don't want to associate with Erfang even more.

The third room of the Xia family has three children besides the second room. The eldest Xia Yongchang has only one daughter, and the third eldest Xia Yongrong also has only one son. Wei awakened, and they wanted to sever ties with this son.

The son who was finally brought up said he didn't want it, so he didn't want it. Comparing the love they showed for Xia Wei before, it can be seen that what they like is pretending. How can such people be worthy of being parents.

In the past, the boss and the third child were still a little delicate towards Xia Wei's nephew, but now they only have sympathy.

As for Xia Yongzhen like this, not to mention that his brothers disdain to associate with him, how many of the same big families in Yunxi Province have a good relationship with him?

Mr. Xia had enough scolding, let out a little breath, turned his head and saw the eldest and third child who was pretending to be a quail, paused and said: "Boss, do you still agree with what I told you a few years ago?"

A few years ago?Xia Yongchang thought for a long time, but couldn't think of it: "Dad, what are you talking about?"

"It's the matter of adopting Xia Wei to you."

As soon as these words came out, everyone was startled.

When adopting, Mr. Xia did say a few years ago that it was not long after Xia Wei woke up, when he found out that the second couple secretly went to do test-tube babies.

The old man also lost his temper that time, and said on the spot that he would adopt Xia Wei to the boss.

Xia Yongchang has only one daughter who is five years older than Xia Wei, and their daughter has been engaged to the heir of another big family since she was a child, so the Xia family is destined not to be handed over to her, nor are they. I didn't think about having another one, but I tried my best and there was no more. The couple gave up when they got older, so they were even a little happy when they heard the old man said that they wanted to adopt.

Although Xia Wei was awakened, they were the ones who watched him grow up. They knew how outstanding this child was. Of course they were happy to have such a son for nothing.

But Xia Wei didn't do it himself. He still had expectations for Xia Yongzhen and his wife at that time, so naturally he didn't want to be adopted.

And the old man probably said that out of anger at the time, seeing that the person concerned disagreed, he didn't mention it again.

This will be over.

I didn't expect that after so many years, the old man would talk about it again.

Xia Yongchang didn't know how to choose for a while, and before he could speak, his wife Shen Zihan opened her mouth and said: "Dad, Xiaowei is an adult now, even if we want to, the law will not agree."

Mr. Xia waved his hand, only looked at Xia Yongchang and said: "It's okay, I asked the lawyer, there is no age limit for adopting children of collateral blood relatives of the same generation within three generations. Whose son should be his son, you just say you agree or disagree."

Lin Huilan interjected, "Dad, Xiaowei won't agree to this?"

Judging from her tone, she could tell that she disagreed with this matter, but it didn't mean that Lin Huilan wanted this son more, but that she thought that since she was born by herself, even if she didn't want it, she couldn't make it cheaper for others.

Especially Lin Huilan can often hear some things about Xia Wei from Xia Qianqian, knowing that the business he is doing is developing well. If Xia Wei becomes the boss's, then when he dies, all his property will be the boss's. .

Xia Yongchun obviously thought of this, and immediately followed his wife and said, "Yes, Dad, Xiao Wei is also my son no matter what, I don't agree with his adoption."

"You guys remember that he is your son now? What did you do?" Mr. Xia just rolled his eyes at them: "You disagree? What face do you have to disagree? Xia Wei is an adult, and he is now published in the newspaper It's all his own business to break off ties with you, and you still need to agree?"

What he said didn't save Xia Yongzhen any face.

Before Xia Yongzhen could refute, Mr. Xia went on to say: "I asked Xiao Wei about this matter, and he told me to make up my mind. What I mean is adoption. If you agree, Boss, he will be your son in the future. What do you say?"

When Xia Yongzhen heard this, he knew that the old man was determined, so he said without hesitation, "We both wanted a son, and Xiao Wei was also watched by us, so we are naturally happy. "

"That's fine, I'll let the lawyer handle this matter. When he comes back later, you sign it, and then go to the ancestral hall to change the genealogy. From then on, Xia Wei will be the eldest grandson of the eldest family, and has nothing to do with your second wife."

Afterwards, the old man let everyone disperse. Xia Yongchang and his wife saw that the boss's family was getting more and more unpleasant at the moment. They opened their mouths and were about to say something, but Shen Zihan took the lead.

"Dad said that Xiaowei will be back in the next two days, and we don't have much time to prepare, so we have to go back and tidy up his room. Second brother and sister, I won't chat with you."

After speaking, without looking at their blue and purple faces, she dragged her husband and left.

When she returned to her room, Shen Zihan's face darkened, and she began to scold her husband: "Why did you agree to the adoption matter? Seeing how the second brother and the others will hurt us in the future."

"You didn't see the old man's appearance, did he give me a chance to refuse?" Xia Yongchang was also annoyed, he took off his coat and threw it aside, sitting on the sofa and sulking.

"Besides, I also think Xiaowei is good. Didn't you agree with this before?"

"That was before, but the situation is different now." Shen Zihan sat next to him and poured him a glass of water: "In the past, Xiaowei adopted when she was young, and we just treated him as multiple sons, but now, no Let’s talk about his situation, let’s just say that the properties he has worked out over the years are not as good as the Xia family’s, but they are not bad. We promise to adopt at this time, can the second family let us go?”

"If you don't let him go, don't let him go. Think I care about him." Xia Yongchang drank his saliva, and said angrily: "The second brother and the others also fell into the eyes of money. You said that the old man didn't lack anything. It became like that."

"Let's not talk about the second brother, let's talk about the third brother. I saw that when the old man said that Xiaowei would be the eldest grandson, the third brother and sister's face didn't look very good."

Xia Yongchang wondered: "What's so unattractive about her? Xiao Wei is the eldest grandson of the Xia family? Xia Bi of the third family is a month younger than him."

"Isn't it just this month's trouble?" Shen Zihan sighed: "At the beginning, the second sibling and the third sibling were pregnant at about the same time, but the delivery was a month behind. We all know that she may have used some kind of birth-inducing medicine, otherwise she would be fine, why did she suddenly give birth prematurely, just because of this matter, the two of them quarreled in private how many times."

Xia Yongchang said in surprise: "There is still this matter? Why haven't I heard you mention it before?"

"Am I that talkative person?" Shen Zihan said angrily, "Is it nice to say this again?"

"So you are worried that the third sibling will transfer their anger to you in the future? Is she not so stingy?"

"She's just generous in front of others." Shen Zihan also knew her two sisters-in-law very well: "Forget it if I don't mention it, it will give me a headache."

She stood up and walked out.

"Oh, where are you going?"

"Didn't the old man say that Xiaowei will be back these two days, of course I'm going to clean up his room." She stopped suddenly, turned her head and frowned and asked her husband: "You said we should clean up the room he used to live in, or Pick up another one, just on our floor?"

After Xia Wei woke up, she moved to the single house at the back to live alone, and the house has been empty since he left.

Xia Yongchang thought for a while and said, "You should let people clean up both sides. It depends on which side he wants to live. According to Dad, he probably won't stay at home for too long."

If it's just for a few days, it shouldn't be dangerous even if you live nearby, right?

Shen Zihan nodded: "Okay, just do what you want."

On the day when Xia Wei came back, everyone from the first house to the third room was there. Even Xia Yongchang's married daughter, Xia Man, came back specially to visit her cousin who was about to become her own brother. It's just the couple.

It's understandable that Xia Qianqian couldn't come back because she was studying in a foreign university, but the six-year-old Xia Ming was also there, so it wasn't hard to see that they did it on purpose.

Han Jiaqiao, who had always been at odds with Lin Huilan, immediately said, "Today is the weekend, why does your Xiaoming still go to kindergarten?"

Lin Huilan smiled flatly: "Xiao Ming was going to play at his aunt's house last week. I made an agreement with my sister. Yesterday, after kindergarten get out of class, my sister picked him up."

They agreed last week, but it wasn't intentional that they didn't want the brothers to meet.

Xia Wei didn't even look at Xia Yongzhen and his wife, but only bowed to Mr. Xia, and was dragged to sit down by him.

That attitude made it clear that he didn't want to have any contact with them. Not to mention how uncomfortable Xia Yongchun and his wife felt, it was one thing for them not to like this son, but another for his attitude.

Xia Yongchun was about to reprimand, but his wife tugged at his sleeves. Remembering that the old man was still there, he could only hold back the anger that had just risen.

Grandpa Xia hasn't seen his eldest grandson for a long time, and he heard the news from him before, and now he sees Xia Wei, who has black hair and black eyes, and looks no different from ordinary people. People, directly drag him to the study to talk alone.

The others saw each other, glanced at each other, and then dispersed.

Before leaving, I could still hear Xia Yu saying to his parents, "Xia Wei's hair doesn't look dyed at all."

In the study room, Mr. Xia had almost calmed down now, and he sat and talked with Xia Wei.

"What you told me before is true? Are you really well?"

Xia Wei nodded, then pointed to herself: "Grandpa, look for yourself, am I the same as an ordinary person now? This is the effect of all the abilities controlled."

Mr. Xia could not wait to pluck his hair to see the roots, or touch his eyes to see if he is wearing contact lenses. Fortunately, he still remembers that he does not do that as an elder, but he also wears reading glasses on purpose. Go look in his eyes and make sure the pupils are real and not colored or something.

After a while, he grabbed Xia Wei's hand with red eyes, nodded and said with a half-crying smile: "It's good, it's good, God really has eyes."

Seeing him like that, Xia Wei couldn't help but her eyes turned sore: "It's the grandson's fault that made you worry."

Mr. Xia is the best relative to him. It can be said that Xia Wei was brought up by him alone, so after he recovered, he couldn't wait to tell him about it, only how he recovered, because it involved An Siai Well, he didn't say anything.

He didn't talk about Mr. Xia, and he didn't ask, as long as he knew that his grandson was healed, and he wouldn't let a white-haired person give away a black-haired person, everything would be fine.

"How can I blame you for this? If you want to blame it, you have to blame your incompatible parents." The people Mr. Xia despises most now are his second son and his wife, and he will scold him at any time.

Xia Wei was silent.

Knowing that his grandson didn't want to mention them, Mr. Xia also changed the subject: "I made an agreement with your uncle that you will be his adoptive son in the future. I didn't tell him you are good, but he is willing, and I see that he is not against his will. "

Mr. Xia just knows the virtue of his second son, and knows that if he knows that Xia Wei is well, he will brazenly pester Xia Wei again, but Xia Wei is no longer as gentle as before. When the two sides quarrel, Xia Wei Maybe he can really deal with his father in a righteous way.

Although Mr. Xia didn't like his second son, he didn't want to see father and son fight each other, so he simply broke their father-son relationship.

"Uncle and aunt have always been very kind to me." Xia Wei's tone was a lot gentler, which also changed to agree with Mr. Xia's meaning.

"Then this matter is settled, and tomorrow I will ask the lawyer to come and handle this matter."

After this matter is settled, it is natural to talk about the business of Xia Wei's return this time.

"I came back this time mainly to ask Grandpa for your help. I have a very important project that I want to cooperate with the government. I hope Grandpa can help me take the lead."

"What project?"

When it came to business matters, Mr. Xia became serious.

"Does it have something to do with you?"

Xia Wei nodded: "I know I can't hide it from you, Grandpa, it really has something to do with this."

"The technology in the hands of the person who cured me is fully mature without any side effects. The most important thing is that his technology can be directly put into mass production. Grandpa, do you know what this means?"

What does it mean?

It means that as long as things are as Xia Wei said, from now on mutants will no longer be time bombs, but genuine humanoid weapons, which means that the pattern of the whole world may change!

It took a long time for Mr. Xia to recover from his fantasy, and let out a long breath: "...the sky is going to change."

Yeah, it's going to change.

From now on, mutants are no longer feared by ordinary people, they will be admired and loved by ordinary people, and they are eager to become one of them.

A spark called ambition burned in Xia Wei's eyes, and one day, these sparks would turn into a prairie fire, igniting all non-intervention and despair.
