Chapter 5: Bullying

Since then, the boy has lived in the temple as well.

Every day when the sky was dark, he would set out to the mountains to look for wild fruits to eat, and in the evening he would turn back.

Many of them also began to gradually get used to his presence, and at first they would subconsciously worry about him when they spoke, but it didn't matter later, and they knew that he would only come back at night.

Sometimes the interest in storytelling is higher, and the storytelling time is longer. When the boy returned to the temple, he could still hear the back half.

The crisp and pleasant voice of words entered his ears with the wind, always quietly arousing his curiosity.

For the sake of safety, he still didn't dare to expose the things he could see ghosts, and in order to disguise, he tried his best to keep himself from squinting, looking, or listening.

But he's a six-year-old kid, and that's when he's curious.

Many of the stories were novel and interesting, and although they were often mixed with words he didn't understand, they were very attractive to him.

Most of the time, he pretends to sleep with his eyes closed, but in fact, the tips of his ears are secretly erected to reveal the fact that he is not asleep.

Sometimes he couldn't help but glance at a lot, and he was puzzled, even though this ghost looked thin and small, and only had one head, but she could always come up with all kinds of strange stories.

Many of the worlds and things she described were things he had never heard of or seen.

He wanted to be by her side every day and let her tell him more stories, and he did, but that's all for later.

It was another day to go up the mountain to forage for fruit, but this time, the little boy only had a few green and yellow unripe fruits in his hands.

It was something he had left behind, but now, he couldn't find any other wild fruits.

Going deeper might be rewarding, but he wasn't sure if he would run into a beast.

The scorching sun was hot, he wiped the fine sweat on his forehead, reluctantly took a bite of the fruit in his hand, and chewed it carefully.

Bitter, just like his heart.

He looked up to the southeast, his gaze heavy.

If this continues, he will probably starve to death, and he will have to go into the city to find food.

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but clench the fruit in his hand, knowing in his heart that entering the city might not necessarily be able to live.

The reason why he ran out was because everyone thought he was unlucky, and without his grandfather, he had a hard time in the city.

The second reason is that this year's harvest is not good, and there are rumors in the city that he will bring calamity and must sacrifice him to the god of grains.

There is no place for him in the city.

The little boy closed his eyes, took a deep breath, and ate all the fruit in his hand.

He remembered that there was a stream not far outside the city, and he wanted to see if there were any fish. If he's lucky, he might be able to catch a fish so he doesn't have to go into the city.

......

In the middle of the trees, in the shallow water, a little boy was almost as motionless as a statue, and at this time he was already in the water from the waist down, holding the half of the dustpan he had picked up tightly in his hand, and staring at the fish in front of him like a torch.

I saw the little boy hold his breath, bend down, quietly dive the dustpan into the water, and then slowly move closer to the fish.

Under the sound of gurgling water, the little boy took advantage of the fish's inattention, quickly thrust the dustpan into the fish, and then lifted it up violently, and the fish that was still spitting bubbles with joy just now appeared on the dustpan and struggled to jump.

The little boy exhaled with a long breath, hot beads of sweat sliding down his forehead and falling to the corners of his grinning mouth. He only looked at the fish on the dustpan, which was only three fingers wide, and thought about where he could find a container of water and a fire to boil the fish soup to drink, but he did not even notice that someone approached.

"Hurry up, hurry up!" Ergoudan shouted impatiently at the friends behind him, "You are still so slow in these few steps, it's useless!"

"Boss, boss, wait for us!" Li Wazi and the others were chasing Ergoudan's steps all the way, and now they couldn't help but stop halfway to catch their breath.

Their boss is going too fast!

The second dog ignored them and walked forward on his own. Li Wazi and the others watched the sturdy back getting farther and farther away from them, gritted their teeth, and also accelerated the speed of their feet.

When he was about to reach the stream, he didn't see Ergoudan continuing to walk. It's hot today, so they've come here to play in the water.

"Boss, what's wrong?" asked Chen Dan as he breathed his breath as he stepped forward.

Ergoudan put his hands on his chest, raised his eyebrows high, and looked at the little boy who was wading in the water and preparing to go ashore with dissatisfaction.

Everyone followed his line of sight, and soon saw the little boy, whose faces were not good-looking.

Li Wazi scolded beside her: "Phew, it's really unlucky!"

His voice was not small, and it quickly attracted the attention of the little boy.

The little boy looked at the group of little overlords in front of him, who were one or two years older than him, and subconsciously hid the dustpan behind him.

He knew them, and this group of people liked to steal the things of the village children the most.

Seeing the little boy's movements, Ergoudan's eyebrows raised higher, and he sneered: "Yo, isn't this a little disaster, you have been driven out of the city, and now you have to fish and eat?"

The little boy was silent, his eyes fixed on the water, and the humiliation in his heart was suppressed.

Seeing that the little boy was silent, Ergoudan was a little annoyed in his heart, but thinking that he was here to play in the water, not to seek bad luck, he waved his hand gracefully, "Forget it, you hurry up, don't get in the way of the master's eyes!"

"......" The little boy pursed his lips, refusing to say or move.

Ergodan narrowed his eyes, and took a step forward with a stronger figure than his peers, with an undisguised threat on his face.

Li Erwa's eyes rolled roundly, and she suddenly added fire to the side: "Why don't you get out of here?!

"That's it, let's get out of here!"

"You're a scourge!"

"If you want to die, you must die far away!"

Ergoudan's friends began to scold people, and their words were unscrupulous, but their words were particularly vicious.

In the midst of the scolding, the little boy clenched his teeth, and his little face turned red with anger.

No, grandpa said, you have to settle things and don't fight casually.

The little boy endured and endured, his black eyes were full of annoyance, he stared at the group of people in front of him, but he still refused to move a step while standing in Tanzhong.

Seeing him like this, Li Erwa's heart was itching with hatred.

Oh, my mother said that it was because of you, a little disaster star, that this year's harvest was not good, so I couldn't eat meat this year!

Thinking of this, he rolled up his sleeves, crossed his hands on his waist, and scolded: "Your grandfather was killed by you!

Before he finished speaking, a dustpan smashed at Li Erwa, and the broken bamboo strip made a bloody mark on his face, in exchange for a miserable scream: "Ah-"

Ergoudan stood in front of Li Erwa and shouted angrily: "What are you doing!"

The little boy ignored Ergoudan and rushed straight towards Li Erwa. The sentence of killing grandpa stabbed his eyes deeply, and even his eyes became fierce.

The second dog didn't notice for a while, and the little boy threw Li Erwa to the ground, biting Li Erwa's ear desperately, and there were signs that he would not stop if he didn't bite down.

Li Erwa's face was full of horror, tears flowed, and her voice was miserable: "Ahh

A group of people were frightened and wanted to come over and pull them away, but the little boy grabbed Li Erwa tightly, his mouth was full of blood and refused to let go, and stubbornly bit Li Erwa's ear.

Li Erwa screamed even worse: "Ahh

The second dog was in a hurry, and they didn't know who it was, so they kicked him with their feet first.

The little boy felt a pain in his body, and he couldn't help but let go of the hoop movement, but he still didn't let go.

Seeing this, everyone kicked him with their feet, and finally, Li Erwa's was pulled out from under the little boy.

Li Erwa covered her bloody ears and looked at the little boy with scars on the ground with weak legs.

The little boy was staring at him with gritted teeth, blood coming from the corners of his mouth, and he didn't realize it, his eyes so dark that they seemed to tear him apart.

Li Erwa is afraid, and they are also afraid of the two dogs, if it weren't for the fact that the little boy was too thin and there were many of them, with the ferocity he had just now, Li Erwa's ears would not have been able to be saved at all!

Everyone looked at each other, threw down the man they had kicked half to death, and hurried away.

The little boy lay on the ground gasping for breath, looked up at the clear sky in the distance, listened to the sound of gurgling water in his ears, the fierceness in his eyes gradually dissipated, and his heart began to swell with grievances, two lines of tears slipped down the corners of his eyes, he endured the pain and shrunk himself into a ball, and he cried quietly......
