"Stay at home, and when your mother returns, tell him to rest early, and I'll go and get the boy back." The middle-aged man said with some uneasiness.

To be honest, he was indeed afraid in his heart, on the one hand, he was afraid that something would happen to this child, and on the other hand, he was afraid that his second master would blame him.

"I knew that this was the case, I shouldn't have promised the second master in the first place, where is this adoption, it is clearly a debt collector."

The man said indignantly, but walked out of the house anyway.

And after going out, his son's face finally appeared with an imperceptible panic.

……

Outside the tassel city, next to the tassel river, a young figure was crouching under a big tree, his eyes silently looking at the starry sky.

His gaze, under the light of the starlight, became more and more dazzling, full of an indescribable taste.

That kind of feeling, as if people see the endless starry sky, deep, dark, but it seems to be able to touch people's hearts, and between the eyes turning, it gives people an indescribable comfort.

Behind him, there was a hut.

It is true to say that it is a thatched hut, but it is simply a hut without a skeleton.

And among them, it has already been flooded by the river, not to mention sleeping people, even if it is close, it will make people feel uncomfortable. Therefore, his grace was able to get close to the tree and silently look at the sky.

"Why, why did Brother Ping do this to me." His voice was very immature, immature, showing his doubts and sadness.

Yes, this child is the child who scolded the father and son just now, and it is also the child who came here ten years ago when the monk of Tianlong Temple came here.

His name is Lin Yun.

This name was told to his nephew by the old monk after he came down the mountain.

And this family is surnamed Li, so Lin Yun has known since he was a child that he ...... Just an outsider.

Therefore, the more this is the case, the more sensible he is in his heart, he doesn't dare to talk more, he doesn't dare to intervene more, he eats, he is always only half-full, it's good not to be hungry, and he never fights for more points with this family.

is the clothes, and they are only left over from a boy in the family, that is, the eldest son in the family, Li Ping.

It was good at first. But that all changed when he was six years old.

His own misfortune followed.

After the man led his eldest son out of the door, his attitude towards himself changed.

At first, it was his son, and when he had nothing to do, he would tease him, not give him food, and humiliate him in disguise, and even beat and scolded. And the male protagonist only said a symbolic word, and later, he didn't even care about it at all, and sometimes he would personally take action and scold Lin Yun.

For all this, Lin Yun just endured it silently.

He just thinks he's not good enough.

Therefore, he has always been extremely strict with himself, and he does not dare to go beyond the slightest, and he has always been obedient.

But in just three days, Li Ping, the little brother in the family, seemed to be a different person, and treated him well, not only taking the initiative to let him eat, but also taking him to play together.

Especially today, he said that he would take him to this river to catch game.

A ten-year-old child, who is already a greedy age, is not so clear in his consciousness, right and wrong, and Lin Yun is not so clear about Li Ping's approach, Lin Yun is not only grateful but excited.

He felt that he had been obedient all the time, and finally moved the family and this little brother.

But what he didn't expect was that when he came here today, Li Ping proposed that the two of them come to play and build a thatched hut to see who can build it quickly and well.

Lin Yun was overjoyed by this.

So he did it even harder, but until he did it well, he disappeared Li Ping's shadow.

Frightened, and in addition to the hot weather, he hid in the shade next to the hut he had built and waited.

But this time, unconsciously, fell asleep.

Then, when he opened his eyes again, he was bound to the hut he had built.

He wanted to struggle, he wanted to scream, but his limbs were tied, and his mouth was blocked by a pile of weeds. Instinctively, he felt like he had met the bad guys.

Just as he wanted to use all his strength to break free, he found that in the crack of this thatched hut, a stream of clear water suddenly flowed in...... Immediately afterwards, there was more and more water, and after the straw was not ventilated, it was soaked in water, and after being steamed and roasted at high temperature, Lin Yun's consciousness gradually began to blur, and he felt suffocated.

He began to struggle desperately, screaming from his mouth, but all he could do was whine.

He didn't understand why he would use such cruel methods against himself if he really encountered a wicked person.

I'm just a kid, huh? In his memory, those extremely vicious people are all fierce and vicious, eight-foot murderers, as long as they can let their souls fly away, why do they have to torture themselves so much?

Just as his consciousness was about to fall into a coma, he suddenly heard a word from outside.

"Li Ping, are you sure there's a roe deer here?"

In an instant, Lin Yun's consciousness regained a little, and he heard that the person who spoke was a child in the town who often bullied him, his name was Zhang Xiaopang, as his name suggested, he was a fat man.

"When...... Of course, you listen...... This whining sound clearly made him feel uncomfortable when we poured water, why, Zhang Xiaopang, aren't you...... I'm scared. ”

It was Li Ping's voice.

Lin Yun opened his eyes in an instant, he was cowardly, but he was not stupid, he tolerated it, but he understood it in his heart.

Li ping...... It's about killing yourself.

In an instant, Lin Yun felt extremely aggrieved in his heart.

Obviously, he has been tolerating it, and he has always been giving in, even if he can't eat enough and can't wear warm clothes, he has never taken care of it, and he is strong and alive, but the other party ...... I wanted to put him to death.

"Hmph, preferably so. If you let Master know that you lied to me, I will definitely make you look good. Okay, these six buckets of water go in, not to mention robes, even if it's a timber wolf, it's all out of gas. But it's strange how there can be a hut here, and there will be a robe burrowing into the inside. ”

Zhang Xiaopang asked suspiciously.

"This ...... Something, maybe someone passed by, and built this hut while resting here, and as for the robe, I saw with my own eyes, it had been broken legs, and I must have hidden it because I thought it was safer in this hut. ”

Li Ping swore that although there was still trembling in his voice, it was much better.

"Well, I'll trust you for once. After leaving a few brothers, go back to drinking. When we come tomorrow, we will eat the meat of the robe. Zhang Xiaopang said, and beckoned the people around him to leave slowly, even including that Li Ping, who did not stop at all, and left with Zhang Xiaopang.

At this time, Lin Yun in this thatched hut had already fallen into a deep coma.
