Chapter 183: The Jianghu in the Wine and Sword Village (26)
"What? Are you sad already?" Seeing his somewhat dejected look, Yu Feng raised his hand and touched his shoulder.
"I just can't understand why I am treated as an abandoned child when I am his biological son."
"Anyway, the moonlight is nice tonight, so I'll tell you a story." Yu Feng chuckled, then lay down on the lawn with his hands under his head.
"Once upon a time there was a little boy who was born into a martial arts family. His arrival seemed to carry everyone's expectations, but his body was congenitally unhealthy and he could not learn martial arts.
Then, his father began to pay less attention to him, and even ignored him intentionally or unintentionally, which made the eight-year-old boy start to doubt himself.
Finally one day, the boy heard his parents' conversation at the door. It turned out that his father disliked that he could not learn martial arts, and was planning to take a concubine and have another son to inherit his legacy.
The boy's mother disagreed, because she thought the boy's future life would be difficult. Out of love for her son, the mother argued with reason, but just a few days later, the mother committed suicide mysteriously beside a dry well at home.
The boy hoped that his father could avenge his mother, but his father said that it was her fate and there was no need to mobilize a large force. So his mother was casually buried on a small hillside in the back mountain, and he was not even allowed to enter the family’s ancestral grave.
Even so, the boy still believed that his father loved him. Not long after, his father married another woman and the boy was completely forgotten. It was not until the concubine gave birth to a son that people seemed to remember the boy's existence.
At this point, Yu Feng chuckled sarcastically, "And the reason I thought of him was that the boy's younger brother got lost, and he met the boy by accident. The concubine was afraid that the things that belonged to the younger brother would be taken away by the boy, so she gave his father an idea.
Just one day later, the father personally took his son into a deep forest, found a way to secretly leave, and wanted the boy to fend for himself.
"Then what?" Hearing his words, Li Huaiyu couldn't help but frowned, "How is the boy?"
"It was raining heavily in the forest, and the boy was shivering and hiding in a tree. He thought his father still loved him and would come to take him home, but the truth was, his father had no sense of guilt and didn't even care about the boy's life or death.
Of course, the final result was that the boy was lucky and was carried back by the other boy, and the two lived in a forest.
Let me think... maybe two or three months later, with the help of his friends, the boy recovered well and was able to practice martial arts. He also had a high talent. When he returned home again, he found the three of them happily eating together.
Mr. Huaiyu, if it were you, what would you do? " Yu Feng's eyes were filled with a smile.
"I might leave that place. No one cares about you. It's not your home at all." Li Huaiyu paused.
“If you ask me, Master Huaiyu is kind. But that little boy didn’t do that. He captured his father’s family and took them to the dungeon, forcing him to tell the truth about his mother’s death. After knowing the truth, he… killed his father.
The boy did not even spare his stepmother and younger brother. After that, everyone in the villa called the boy the head of the family, but they didn't know that he was only eight years old at that time. "Speaking of this, Yu Feng's voice trembled.
"Do you think he's a bad guy? Or does he really deserve to die?"
"I can't comment. If I were in his situation, I would probably do the same. After all, there was nothing wrong with the boy's birth. On the contrary, he has been wronged." Li Huaiyu shook his head.
"So, after this comparison, do you feel much better?"
"So, that boy..."
"It's me. I took over the entire Southeast Sword Cave when I was eight years old. Everyone in the world calls me a rare genius. It's really ridiculous." Yu Feng chuckled, "Don't think about things you can't figure out. Isn't the purpose of life to be free and easy?"
Looking at his lazy look, Li Huaiyu pursed her lips and said, "Those years must have been very difficult."
"Those years? I don't remember, maybe." Yu Feng raised his hand, "Okay, let's not talk about these unhappy things. I think you should help me up now. We should go back, otherwise those people will panic.
Master Huaiyu, no matter who you are dealing with, you should always be vigilant. You should not have the intention to harm others, but you should always be on guard against them. There is some truth in this.”
Hearing his words, Li Huaiyu raised his hand to hold his arm, then nodded, "I understand, you are not as bad as I thought..."
"Haha, you are wrong. I am... a very bad person." The two of them slowly walked towards the crowd.
On the other side, Tang Cuo was lying on the couch in the guest room, his eyes a little erratic, "This doesn't look like a Taoist temple at all, and there are disciples training privately. Am I leading Brother Jiang into a den of thieves?"
Thinking of this, he raised his hand and rubbed his hair. "If this is true, then what can I do? Brother Jiang is seriously injured now, and I can't beat them alone. In the end, let alone saving him, I can't even save myself. Otherwise... I will sneak out and find out the situation so that I can make plans early."
Tang Cuo stood up, put the sword on the table on his waist, opened the door carefully, stuck his head out, and saw that there was no one around.
Tang Cuo began to walk aimlessly in the yard. Suddenly, he heard a light conversation. Tang Cuo stopped, hid aside silently, bent down, and looked towards the yard in front of him.
He saw a child sitting on a stone bench at the door. He seemed to be bored and was swinging his legs. Next to him stood the twin brother he met in the morning.
However, the distance was too far and Tangcuo couldn't hear what the two were talking about.
"Kui Ye, since my brother is back, why don't you let me go to see him?" Jiang Zhao curled his lips, a little displeased.
"My young master, the young master is injured and it is not appropriate for him to meet you. If you feel bored, you can play with us." Kui Ye bowed beside him.
"Forget it. Playing with you guys was not boring at first, but it has become boring. When will the little brother who promised to play with me come to play with me? Will he be unable to find my house?"
"Uh... this, I don't know either."
"By the way, I heard that my brother brought a friend back. Have you met that friend?" Jiang Zhao's eyes flickered.
"I have seen him. He has a good-looking face, but he looks a little weak. When Master Yu Feng asked me to leave, I attacked him."
"The results of it?"
"Young Master almost killed me with just a look..." Kui Ye pursed his lips, still feeling a little scared when he thought about it now.
