Chapter 81: The Past
"Ah Fu!"
Tao Guangguang stopped the guards who were eager to chase them into the darkness, stepped aside, and picked up the object that had been thrown out by the monk.
He originally thought it would be a secret weapon or something, but he didn't expect it to be half a roasted thigh.
Na Xiuzhen hid this piece of cooked meat in his arms, and by chance, he blocked an iron fist from Ah Fu, but escaped with his life.
Ah Fu walked over, took the meat leg from Tao Guangguang's hand, looked through it carefully, and suddenly smelled it again, and it was a very special smell of spices, sour and astringent.
The guard's hands began to tremble, as if the cooked meat had made him discover something.
"What's wrong?
Tao Guangguang looked at this guard who had accompanied him for more than 20 years inexplicably, and he couldn't control his body like now, but it was the first time he had seen it.
There was an unconcealable fluctuation in Ah Fu's eyes, and he only heard him say, "Master, do you remember how I became your guard?"
Tao Guangguang didn't understand why Ah Fu was saying this now, but he still replied: "When I was eighteen years old, my father let me go out alone for the first time to talk about business, and sent you to me, and since then, you have been by my side!"
A look of memory appeared in Ah Fu's eyes, and he sighed: "Yes, it's been more than 20 years in a flash, Ah Guang, you have also changed from Young Master Tao to Master Tao!"
More than 20 years of companionship have made the relationship between the two extremely close, even more than ordinary brothers and relatives.
Hearing Ah Fu suddenly call his milk name, Tao Guangguang didn't know why, I don't know what happened to Ah Fu suddenly.
I saw Ah Fu leaning against the tree and telling his story in a very slow tone.
"When I was a child, I lived in a small mountain village in the southwest corner of the empire. It's not a big town, and there aren't more than a thousand of them all combined. At that time, I followed my father and aunt to farm and hunt every day, and the days were plain and simple, but I felt the happiest days. ”
"Until that day, a group of thieves came to the village, there were only a few dozen of them, but the force was strong, not only robbed the whole village's property, but also slaughtered all the men in the village. At that time, I was just a child who didn't know anything, and when they caught me, I threw it into a cage like a livestock. I didn't understand why these robbers didn't kill me, and I was still complacent about not dying. ”
"Later, I saw with my own eyes that they roasted a woman who had been toyed with on a fire, and that woman was passed from top to bottom by a wooden stick, and she was still not dead, and she howled like a pig in the flames. The scum... That group of scum really ate the woman alive like eating livestock. ”
As Ah Fu spoke, his face suddenly turned pale, and his hands and feet began to tremble involuntarily. The whole person leaned against the trunk of the tree, and it seemed that he couldn't stand still, so he slid directly on the ground.
Tao Guangguang and Shangguan Qing didn't see Ah Fu quite right, and they were about to walk in, but they saw Ah Fu waving his hand, and then said: "At that time, I realized what I was about to face. They raised me like cattle and gave me something to eat, and I knew that one day I would be like that woman, and I would eventually be roasted alive and eaten by the bandits. ”
"Once, a robber came up to me and threw a piece of meat in front of me and asked me to eat him. I watched him smirk at me, and I knew what this meat was. But at that time, I was so frightened that I cried and ate this piece of meat into my stomach, and I saw that the robbers were laughing at me, and I didn't understand what they were laughing at me, so I had to laugh with them. Now that I think about it, they should have pointed at me and said, "Look, this man looks like a dog!"
After that, they seemed to think it was very interesting to tease me, and they would often give me that kind of meat to eat, and they would sprinkle special ingredients on top of the roasted meat, and it tasted sour and astringent, and after a long time, I got used to that sour and astringent taste. ”
I saw Ah Fu suddenly cough violently, coughing and coughing, and suddenly a mouthful of blood spurted out. At the same time, the mouthful of blood that was sprayed on Xiuzhen's face before turned out to be weirdly smoking.
Waving his hand again to ask the other two not to get close to him, Ah Fu looked like he had expected it, and continued.
"Maybe the sky has eyes, at that time there was a general passing by here with his army, and when he saw what was happening here, he immediately arrested this gang of strongmen, and cut off a whole fifty-three heads, leaving only a teenage youth. That's right, the rest of the robber was only a teenager, and when he saw the fifty-three heads in front of him, he was so frightened that he grabbed the general's leg and begged for mercy. ”
"I still don't understand why the general spared his life, maybe he thought the young man had a beautiful face, like a good man, but he didn't know that the face could deceive people, and he had never seen how happy the young man was when he ate human flesh. ”
The general said that his son was about the same age as the little robber, and that he could not bear to kill him, and that he would one day be able to go on the right path if he was taught well. So he sent the little robber to a temple, hoping that the high monks there would teach him carefully and persuade evil to turn good. ”
"As one of the few survivors in the village, I was taken by the general to the family's martial arts hall and worked as a handyman. After that, the martial arts master may have thought that my talent was not bad, and taught me martial arts. Then, the general left the court, abandoned the official business, and in just a few years, created a huge industry, which was the leading rich potter in China. ”
"That general is your father, sir. He brought me to you back then, hoping that I would protect you, and I didn't want to leave him, but for the sake of you being his most valued son, I agreed. ”
"In the beginning, to be honest, I didn't look down on you! Although you are unmatched in business, you can be called a business wizard, but in my eyes, you will never be as good as the general in my heart!"
Ah Fu stared at Tao Guangguang with wide eyes, his gaze was fierce, and he seemed to release light.
"But in the end, I decided to follow you with all my heart, and you know why!"
"It's because of my father!" Tao Guangguang lowered his head and said in a deep voice.
"No!"
I saw that Ah Fu's eyes widened, as if he was about to bleed.
"Just because you told me that you want to cultivate immortals!"
"Just because you told me that after you cultivate immortals, you will calm down all the ugliness in this world, and you will let no one eat people in this world!"
"Just because of this sentence, I am willing to give you my life!"
