Chapter 19: The Dark Road II

After the cronies left, the boy was the only one left in the room, and he was slumped there, not wanting to move.

What made the young Wang Botian feel very deep is: unexpected and reasonable.

"Boy, you may still feel a little surprised, but as you grow up, you will feel that this betrayal is easy, and under the peace of the surface of the Fourteen Domains, the undercurrent never stops. Dong Kun said.

Wang Botian lowered his head and asked, "Isn't there a real solution to all disputes?"

"There may be, but it will take the efforts of your generation, and I really hope that one day will come. The Dharma Realm has been stable for a thousand years, but we always feel that there is constant friction in our neighborhood, and future wars are inevitable. ”

"But I'm just an ordinary person, it's so difficult to change the world, for example, now, I don't even dare to kill people. ”

"But you can't always let others protect you, the weak have no right to speak, only if you are strong, you will be valued by the people of the Fourteen Domains. Boy, do you have a dream?"

"Dreams?" Wang Botian pondered, "I really want to see my parents, although my grandfather is very good to me, but I still want to see them." ”

"Actually, in the Dharma realm, there are many people who left their parents very early in order to seek the Tao since childhood, and they are just like you, but they will meet Taoist friends and teachers in the process of seeking the Tao, and they will spend time with you, such as me, your Tianming master, and your senior brother, and Qianyu. ”

Wang Botian didn't say a word.

Then I saw the boy in front of me.

"That's why he became like this because he didn't meet the right person, right?"

Dong Kun said: "It's a reason, but the person who leads his own direction is himself, he closes himself and holds hatred, and at the same time, his young ignorance and weakness are taken advantage of, in short, it's complicated." ”

The boy sat on the ground for a long time, and he thought, "I must live, I don't want to die yet." ”

Then he picked up the silver on the ground bit by bit, and as he picked it up, tears fell down his eyes.

Taking advantage of the night, he fled the town and walked into the distance.

In the early morning, when the boy had already walked a long way east, he rested at a tea shop.

The tea shop is surrounded by dense woods.

He was still wearing such a rag, and he thought: Where am I going now? The government may come and catch me at any time.

"Quick, fence up, catch alive. A word came from his ear, and the boy quickly stood up.

Is this going to be the one who caught me?

Then, twenty or thirty people surrounded him at once.

From the crowd, a one-eyed man stood up and said nothing.

Standing behind One-Eyed was a man with two charming eyes and two buckteeth, and said, "Today...... Today we are ...... I'm in a bad mood, I ...... I advise you to know ...... Acquaintance, women and ...... Come with us, man...... Men have money to dig ...... Paying for it, no ...... Those who have no money to pay for their lives. ”

The man stammered.

The owner of the tea shop hurriedly walked by: "Master, we are a small business, and we can't make a few small dollars, you see ......"

A small stutter interrupted it: "Fei ...... What do you say, take ...... Take the money. ”

"Master, master, this is really a small business!" the shopkeeper added.

The little stutterer wanted to say something, but the one-eyed waved his hand, and the little stutter stepped back.

One-eyed walked up to the tea shop owner, who lowered his head and didn't dare to look at him.

"Boss, it seems that you still don't know how good I am. One-eyed stared at him.

This is a subordinate walking over, "Brother Meng, there is a woman over there who won't follow us." ”

One-eyed looked at the person next to him, "Then leave her on the spot." Then he continued to stare at the tea stall owner, "What, you want to be done too?"

Then I saw three or five of the people who came out of the crowd and surrounded the disobedient woman, and then forcibly tore the woman's clothes, and spoiled them in turn, and there was only the commotion of the robbers and the silence of the tea shop.

"Boss, serve me a pot of tea! If the tea is good, our brother will be exempt from your payment." If it's not good, I'm afraid you won't have a good life. ”

When the people around heard this, there was another commotion.

One-Eye walked over to the boy and sat down, crossing Erlang's legs.

"Good, good. The owner of the tea shop hurriedly replied.

I saw that the owner of the tea shop began to get busy, first washing the tea: pouring boiling water into a teapot and quickly pouring it out.

This is followed by brewing: the boiling water is fed into the pot again, and the spout "nods" three times during the pouring process. The one-eyed onlooker is the owner of the tea shop.

The little stammered and said: "My fierce master wants to drink tea, you'd better hurry up, how slow is it, it's tired and crooked, isn't it?"

The owner of the tea shop turned his head: "Master, you don't know, this is a tea ceremony, and it reflects my courtesy." ”

"Okay, you'd better hurry up, don't make me wait. Then he turned his head to look at One-Eyed, "Master Meng, this old guy is a little slow." ”

Then seal the pot: cover the pot and pour the pot all over with boiling water.

Finally, there is the division of cups: the boss takes out a few tea bowls and puts them on the saucer. Pour the tea in the pot to the fullest of seven points.

Drag the saucer with both hands, and serve the tea with one eye.

One eye looked at the cup of tea, picked up the tea from the saucer, and asked, "Is there so little tea?"

The owner of the tea shop replied: "The tea is to be tasted carefully, and you can't be in a hurry, so you can taste it in a small sip first." ”

One-eyed smiled and picked up the tea, pretending to drink it, but as soon as the tea bowl touched his mouth, he was backhanded on the head of the tea shop owner, and the hot tea flowed down the head of the tea shop owner, and the miserable scream was even more frightening.

"Put your mother's bullshit, let me tell you, I only know that I can't do this kind of thing like eating meat, drinking wine, and drinking tea. One-Eye said as he pulled his legs wide apart, and lifted one foot up on the bench.

The owner of the tea shop suddenly stood up and threw the tea bowl to One-Eye, who punched the flying one-eye, and the tea bowl was torn apart and shattered to the ground.

"Old thing, you don't want to live. Don't be angry, sit up, walk up to the tea shop owner, lift one foot and step on his chest.

"Someone like you will never know the tea ceremony. Someday you're going to die a bad death. The tea shop owner said with the last of his strength.

"Okay, then I'll show you what it means to die a bad death. He turned to the people around him and said, "Bring everyone back today." ”

"Yes. So everyone in the tea shop was taken to a cottage by this group of people, and the owner of the tea shop was broken and imprisoned in the cellar of the cottage with everyone, and had to live on others every day.

Wang Botian was surprised that there were two things that he could not tolerate in this village: first, those who were tied up the mountain would pick up a random man every day and put it in a pot of burnt oil for their breakfast every day, and second, One-Eyed would change a woman every day, and the woman he abandoned would be thrown to his men, whether they were dead or alive.

Every day Wang Botian hears the pleas of men and women, but their pleas do not make any waves in front of the people who write the heartbroken.

He would see that the bandits would treat the predators as no human beings, eating food similar to that of animals, they would be used as humanoid targets for archery, their bodies could be trampled on at will, and they would not dare to resist, because the consequence of resistance would be death.

It turns out that it is so simple to erase a person, without any constraints, do whatever you want, such a person controls the life and death of others, so Wang Botian has the urge to kill this person for the first time, because if there is no such person, is it that other people will have a better life, he builds his happiness on the pain of others, which Wang Botian rejects more and more.

At the same time, as time went on, more and more men stopped killing, more and more women were ravaged, but few people took care of the crippled tea shop owner anymore.

Even in private, they will say, "It's all this old thing, even the tea can't be poured well, and we're going to die here." ”

In the end, only the boy began to take care of the crippled tea shop owner, and within a few days the matter was known to One-Eye.

On this day, another mountain bandit pointed at the young man: "You, come out for a while." ”

The boy didn't know what he would face when he went out, but he knew that none of the people who walked out from here every day came back, and he felt that he had nothing to worry about now, and there was nothing to fear, so he walked out.

The boy was taken outside, and for the first time in many days, he had let the sun shine on him.

He was placed in a chair, and across from him sat One-Eye, with a woman in his arms.

"Boy, do you want to die or live?" asked the young man in front of him, then turned to the woman in his arms and said, "You'd better be well-behaved, if you serve me better, I can make you comfortable for two more days, you know, my subordinates don't know how to pity the fragrance and cherish the jade." ”

The young man looked at the person opposite: "Of course I chose to live." ”

"Well, do you know why I didn't kill you early, usually a shinobi of your size will be treated as a snack by us on the first day of entering the stockade. "One-eyed is bland.

"What!? You're eating people. The boy panicked and fell off the bench. At the same time, the woman in her arms also trembled.

"What's the point of cannibalism? If you can't do it alive, what kind of way of life do you care?" and patted the woman in her arms on the buttocks, "Go, go and wait for me in the house." Boy, do you understand the importance of being alive?"

The boy thought about his past and replied: "I was framed since I was a child, I was wronged, my father didn't believe in me, and then my father died, and I finally lived a good life for a few days, but the only person I believed in betrayed me, and it was better to live like this than to die." ”

"It seems that you have some understanding, but it is not comprehensive enough, you only see that life is miserable, but you forget that the best time in life is nothing but enjoyment. Like me, the life of the Emperor of the Earth is the supreme pursuit of life!"

Then he said, "Tell me your old story, because I see that the coil you wore that day was not something that ordinary people could bring, otherwise, you would already be a dead man." ”

The young man pondered for a while and said, "I turned out to be the young master of the Cai Mansion, and my name is Cai Wai. ”
