Chapter 18: The Dark Road (Part I)
Snowy land, there is only spring and winter here, there is no summer and autumn. His spring is short, about a quarter of the year.
In the snowy Ice Butterfly Valley, a girl of about five or six years old sat there, playing a flute, and a blue butterfly surrounded her, stopping on her from time to time, and then flying again.
"Han Huan, it's time to leave and set off for the Blood Domain. A woman in her twenties and thirties stopped her.
"Hmm. The girl looked with some nostalgia at the butterflies flying in the blue valley.
"Don't look at it, Ice Butterflies can only survive in Ice Butterfly Valley, you can't take them out or they'll die. ”
The girl went out of the valley and looked back.
"Sister Hanhuan, let's go, we'll leave you alone. "Taniguchi is a bunch of hairy boys who are less than ten years old.
And in the west of the entire Dharma Realm, Wang Botian had fallen into a coma for two days.
"Master, Botian will be fine!" Lin Qianyu asked.
"It's okay, it's just that his obsession is in another place now, and you can rest assured that I will take care of him. ”
Wang Botian saw that the boy really killed his father, he thought that killing his stepmother might be forced by the situation, but killing the scumbag father was the distortion of the boy, he thought that it was the servant who accelerated all this, and he hated that person more and more in his heart.
"Come on, come on, man, sir, sir, he's dead. ”
Not long after the boy put the poison in the teacup, this sound came from the house.
The young man ran to the scum dad with a sad face and knelt down: "Dad, Dad, what's wrong with you?"
Wang Botian only felt that his grief was hypocritical, because all this was taught to him by the servant who instigated him.
"What the hell is going on?" the boy asked the people around him with tears in his eyes.
"When I came in to call the master to dinner, I found him lying on the ground. A maid said.
"It's clear that someone is trying to hurt my dad. The boy slammed his fist on the ground.
"Who has been in this room this morning?" the young man's sad voice trembled.
"Except for Aunt Wang, who entered this house in the morning, there was no one. The maid who found the body of the scumbag said.
In Wang Botian's view, Aunt Wang is a relatively simple person, she has always done things in a decent manner, she will not help the teenager, and she will never harm the teenager.
"Go, call her to me, he killed my father, and I will make him pay for his life. ”
The servants around were unmoved.
The young man picked up the cup on the table and slammed it against the wall, "Go quickly, you can't hear me, can you?"
The maid bowed her head and walked out. It didn't take long for everyone to walk into the house around Aunt Wang. But at this time, Aunt Wang had already cried into a tearful person, "No, no, it's not me." ”
Aunt Wang always resisted entering the house of the scumbag, and everyone pushed her in. As soon as she entered the house, she immediately knelt down.
"It's really not me, it's really not me. Young master, I have never been too much to you on weekdays, please, I beg you to believe me once. ”
As he spoke, he slammed his head on the ground, lifted it, and knocked it again.
"Say, how the hell did you kill my dad, what did you do in my dad's room in the morning?"
Aunt Wang's forehead has turned blue because of kowtowing.
"Young master, I really didn't do anything, I just brought tea to the old man according to the old man's habit of drinking tea. ”
Then Aunt Wang knelt and crawled towards the boy, hugging the boy's immature legs.
None of the servants around dared to step forward and pull her up, and all of them had a kind of onlooker mentality.
Wang Botian saw it in his eyes, and he gradually began to dislike the people in this room. Why didn't any of them stand up and speak for Aunt Wang, Aunt Wang, she has always been tolerant of anyone!
Then the man who gave advice to the boy bent down and said to the boy, "Since Aunt Wang has already said that she just came to bring a cup of tea, let me check the cup carefully." ”
The young man's eyes were cloudy, "Well, then check it out first." You let go of me. ”
Then he kicked Aunt Wang away.
Aunt Wang knelt there, her hair disheveled, and she sobbed from time to time.
At noon, another maid hurriedly ran in from outside, "Young master, young master, I found out, the tea is poisonous, and the gentleman in the town said that the teacup is a five-step broken intestine." ”
When Aunt Wang heard the five steps of breaking her bowels, she had already turned her head, her face was sluggish, and she stood up in an instant.
"You are talking nonsense, I have never been poisoned, and I don't know where these five steps of broken intestines came from. ”
As he spoke, he put his hands around the neck of the servant who had come to tell the news.
"Why are you talking nonsense, why. ”
The young man got up from his chair, and the servant who had given the young master's idea hurriedly said, "What are you still looking at, don't stop it." ”
The servants stepped forward to pull the two apart, and the person who reported the news was scratched by Aunt Wang's face in the process of pulling.
The young man looked at Aunt Wang coldly: "Do you have anything else to say?" ”
Aunt Wang knelt down again: "Young master, I have been in this house for 15 years, I serve the master with all my heart and soul every day, and I never fight in case of trouble, if there are good ones, I will leave them to others first, I don't ask for more, I just want to be stable, how could I do this kind of thing to harm the master, someone must want to frame me, young master, young master, you must believe me." ”
"The evidence is here, and you still want to quibble. Someone dragged her down and handed her over to the government. ”
"Yes. ”
Wang Botian sees everything, he knows the truth of this matter, but his current state in this world can't make him tell the truth.
"Senior Dong, what is the five-step broken intestine powder?"
"It is a very poisonous poison in this world, and those who drink it will fall to the ground and die after not taking five steps. ”
Wang Botian was secretly shocked: "What about our world?"
"Of course, there are people who can use poison, but if you want to cultivate into a master of using poison, the hardships you pay are incomprehensible to ordinary people, and if you are not careful, you will bury yourself. ”
"Oh, well, what did she just say about the government?"
"It is an arbitration and adjudication institution in this world, which is equivalent to the blood trial hall of our blood domain. ”
Soon Aunt Wang was arrested by the government and sentenced to death, and she was publicly beheaded in front of the public.
When Wang Botian saw Aunt Wang's head rolling on the ground, and there were bright red blood stains around her, her face was no longer clear.
"Poof-" Wang Botian began to vomit again, vomiting a lot, just like the last time he killed a rabbit.
"Senior Dong, please, let's go back, I know I don't want to watch this kind of scene again. Wang Botian's tears blurred again.
"Why, you want to give up halfway? Didn't you tell me you're much better?"
"But I really don't want to see this bloody scene again. ”
"But if you kill someone, you will see blood. In the Dharma Realm, if you want to live, you have to live desperately, if you want to live, and not kill anyone, then you only have to be killed. ”
"Besides, who do you think is responsible for this? ”
Wang Botian thought deeply, he felt that it was the young man. Does the teenager really want to hurt others? Is this really a kind of self-preservation? Using this kind of self-preservation will only make Wang Botian feel disgusted.
The boy became the head of the family he dreamed of, and he also regarded the servant who advised him as a cronie, and he dismissed his former steward and handed over all the previous property of his scumbag father to his cronies to take care of.
He buried his scumbag and lived in his former house, and he listened to his cronies and dismissed all the servants who had offended him before.
"It's up to you to choose the newcomer's business, I can't choose it. The boy said to his cronies.
Over the next two months, the boy gradually adapted to life as the head of the family. He finally knew why our father didn't go home at night many times, because there were many women outside who could have fun as long as they spent their own money.
At the same time, Wang Botian also accepted these things for the first time.
Dong Kun said sarcastically: "Oh, little God! Our main purpose this time is to let you understand the development process of a person, and to overcome the fear of dying blood. At the same time, there will be some negative things, and you have to learn to eliminate them little by little. ”
But the good days didn't last long.
On this day, the boy was sitting in the house and taking a nap, when suddenly the door was kicked open, and a large group of people in armor surrounded the boy.
From a thief in the crowd, with some sharp voices: "Bold grass people, despising the king's law, because of their own selfish desires, killing their own food and clothing, parents, and blaming others, in accordance with the constitution, arrest and take away!"
The boy looked confused, didn't know what was happening, and took two steps back.
"What are you going to do, don't come here, I didn't do anything. ”
But the soldiers forcibly took him away, put him in rags, and threw him into a prison.
The boy huddled in a corner of the cell, his eyes glazed over, not knowing what to do.
As the night deepened, there was a sigh from time to time in the nearby prison.
The candles inside the cell were dimmed, and two sentries patrolled there.
Suddenly, there was a knock on the door of the cell where the juvenile was being held, and the door opened, and the patrolman and an unknown stranger stood in the doorway. The patrol shouted: "Get out, let's go!"
Then he followed the person next to him out of this dark prison.
"Who are you, and why did you come to save me?" the boy asked.
"It was my lord who sent me to save you. ”
"Your lord?"
"Yes, that's right, I'll take you to my lord right now. ”
Then the boy and the man came to a darkly lit room.
Lighting the candles in the room, the boy saw the man's face clearly, this was what he called the cronie, the servant who advised him.
"You're him?"
"Yes, young master, oh no, you are no longer a young master. ”
The boy was incredulous, "What do you mean by that?"
The cronies still laughed: "Don't you understand what I mean? You are a person who dares to kill your father, and now how you killed your father has been discovered, why, do you think we can tolerate a person who can kill even his own father?"
"But it's all your idea!" the boy couldn't believe it.
"Nonsense, I have a heartfelt affection for the master, but you can't stand your stepmother's bullying of you, and you can't stand the master's abuse of you, so you killed them. But it happened to be discovered by me, and you begged me again and again to try to keep it a secret for you, but my conscience made me so disturbed. So ......"
"Now because of the reward for reporting, that house has been put under my name, and you are nothing. "The cronies said it calmly.
"Haha, I see, I was so stupid to believe your nonsense. It turns out that you have always been for this purpose, it turns out that you have always used me, and no one has ever treated me as a real young master, right?"
The boy stared up at the beams in despair.
"Tomorrow the government will find out that you have escaped from prison, and they will definitely lead someone to hunt you down, this is a bag of entanglements, you take you to the countryside, find a quiet place to spend the rest of your life! The cronies did not deny it.
As he spoke, he took out a small bag from his body and placed it on the table.
"Who scarce your stuff!" he said, knocking over the bag.
"Whatever you want, it's already my duty to help here. Xiao Liu, let's go back!"
Saying that, the cronies left with Xiao Liu.
