Even if Li Ergou's mother tried her best, the debt was like a mountain on the mother and son, and they didn't know how long it would take to pay off.

Day by day, even if every day of life is spent in work and debt repayment, but the speed at which they conceive debts, but can never keep up with the rate of interest growth, Li Ergou's mother wanted to end her life countless times, but looking at Li Ergou, who was only five years old, she finally gave up.

"Wait, wait."

This year, Li Ergou is 8 years old.

Unlike other children, Li Ergou, who has experienced so many misfortunes, is more precocious than other children, he is only eight years old, and laundry, cooking, cleaning, etc. are just a piece of cake for him. In addition, Li Ergou does the most things every day. It is the cultivation of spiritual power.

He clearly knew that only when he became a spiritual priest could he really help his mother, and only by becoming a spiritual priest would they not have to live a miserable life like this. That might be his only wish now.

But fate seems to have played another joke on him.

On this day, Li Ergou, as usual, practiced in the forest not far from home, picking some wild vegetables and fruits for their dinner. Li Ergou's harvest today is quite good, he can't wait to return home, whenever he can help his mother, his mother will show a long-lost smile, this is also his happiest time of the day.

Li Ergou, surnamed Gao Cailie, returned to his humble home, greeted him with a mess, and his mother was lying on the ground covered in bruises and purple.

"Mother!"

Li Ergou's mother slowly opened her eyes and opened her mouth angrily:

"Leave...... Over here...... Live...... Live...... Go down. ”

"Mother!"

Finally, the poor woman closed her eyes forever.

……

The mother's funeral was handled by their neighbors, and because they had no money to sell the coffin, they had to find a broken mat and bury it hastily.

Li Ergou is not yet an adult, his life still has to go on, and Li Ergou, who has lost his mother, has long been blank in his mind.

By the time he came to his senses, he had come to a new home, a home that didn't belong to him.

He was adopted by a distant uncle, for some reason, although he has been married for many years, he still does not have a child of his own, and Li Ergou, who lost his parents, is his choice.

But Li Ergou's arrival still attracted some people's dissatisfaction after all, a mean woman, that is, Li Ergou's aunt, could not tolerate Li Ergou's existence, even if she did not have a child of her own.

Li Ergou's uncle hoped that Li Ergou would forget his parents, forget his past, and truly become their child, but what Li Ergou did every day was to stare at a wooden comb in a daze, which was the only relic left by his mother.

Li Ergou's uncle gradually became disappointed, and his attention to Li Ergou gradually decreased, and he already understood that it was impossible for this child to become his own child.

"It's better to adopt a younger one, after all, an eight-year-old child is a little too big."

Li Ergou's life has changed here, now he seems to be more like a slave, eating the worst meals every day, doing the dirtiest and most bitter life, he has become the object of everyone's bullying, once something is not done well, he will be beaten by other servants and the woman.

Li Ergou has been silently enduring everything, and now he is powerless to resist, but in the dead of night, Li Ergou will begin to silently cultivate spiritual power, without attracting anyone's attention.

This year, Li Ergou is 10 years old.

I've been living in my uncle's house for two years.

Today is a special day for the people of the town, as it is customary to hold a festival in the town at this time of year, where families burn incense and pray to mourn the rest of their deceased loved ones.

Li Ergou thought of his mother, there was no tablet, so he found a piece of wood and quietly grinded it into the shape of a tablet, there was no incense and offerings, so he took advantage of the rest to go to the shop that sold memorial items to help.

Finally, all the items for the memorial were ready, Li Ergou knelt down in front of the tablet, the long-suppressed sadness was like a tide that would be drowned, I don't know how long he cried, Li Ergou, who had lost all his strength, finally fainted in front of his mother's tablet.

Li Ergou woke up, and what caught his eyes was the face of the woman and the servants who often bullied him.

"Where did you get these things?"

Li Ergou didn't speak, he knew that even if he spoke, he still couldn't change the result of a beating.

"Sure enough, it was stolen! The father is a gambling dog, the mother is a slut, and it is definitely not a good thing to be born! ”

Li Ergou raised his head suddenly.

"Yikes!"

Li Ergou's aunt was startled, Li Ergou's eyes did not have any emotion, and some were as crazy as beasts, which made her can't help but shiver.

Li Ergou lowered his head, and his eyes became calm again.

"Give me back my mother's tablet."

Li Ergou said in a low voice, and there was no trace of emotional fluctuation in his tone.

"What did you say?"

"Give me back my mother's tablet."

"How dare you speak to me like that!" When the woman heard Li Ergou's words, she was stunned, and laughed angrily:

"It's just a wild seed, and you dare to talk to me like that!"

"Give me back my mother's tablet."

Li Ergou still repeats this sentence, but the woman is already furious, just a 10-year-old bastard, and he actually ignores himself, how can he tolerate it?

"Call me!"

Those servants approached Li Ergou with a cruel smile, they were people living at the bottom, and it was already a common thing to be beaten and bullied, and they were even more merciless to Li Ergou, as if they wanted to double what they had borne from this ten-year-old boy.

Blood red, slowly blurring Li Ergou's vision, blood slowly dripping down from his head, and violent breathing brought bursts of coughing.

"Take me...... Maternal...... Tablet ...... Give it back! ”

"That's what you want, right? Okay, if you have the ability, take it yourself! ”

The tablet made a curve in the air and landed in the furnace not far away.

"Don't!"

Li Ergou's heaviness let out a beastly roar, trying his best to stand up, but his injured body couldn't support this simple action, he could only roar, and gradually watched it slowly disappear from his sight, just like that day, his mother gradually lost her breath in his arms.

The women and servants seemed to be satisfied, and finally left the place, leaving only Li Ergou, whose throat was already hoarse, to continue to roar.

That night, Li Ergou did not return to where he lived.

The woman was angry, and Li Ergou's uncle was also angry.

In this world, if a slave succeeds in escaping, it is a shame for the master's family, and a slave who escapes, once caught, often has only a dead end.
