Chapter 1: The Fang Family
At dawn, Fang Yan slowly opened his eyes, looked at the hazy light outside the window, endured the pain in his body, got up from the bed, opened the door, and walked to his courtyard to sit cross-legged, absorbing the thin vitality in the air.
Soon after he sat down, a middle-aged man of thirty-five or sixteen gently walked out of the room on the other side, standing in front of the room looking at his thin figure with a complicated complexion, and the corners of his mouth were filled with bitterness.
He is Fang Yan's father, Fang Lin.
Fang Lin looked at Fang Yan silently for a long time before he sighed lightly and asked out loud, "Yan'er, are you still unwilling to give up?" ”
Fang Yan trembled slightly, did not look back, and only replied softly after a while: "Dad, I am unwilling." ”
Fang Lin's face darkened: "What can you do if you are unwilling?" You should know your current situation better than me, the tendons and veins are greatly damaged, and some are even about to break, and it is impossible to recover without a dozen centennial elixirs. You can't store your vitality at all, so why bother so hard? ”
The dialect was silent and silent for a long time.
Seeing this, Fang Lin sighed again, didn't say anything more, and turned around to go back to the room.
"Daddy!" At the moment when Fang Lin turned around, Fang Yan suddenly said loudly: "The children you said understand it, but I just can't let it go." Becoming strong and changing the situation of our family has been my dream since I was a child. I don't want to continue to live like this, I don't want to live a life like this, I don't want to live a life with trembling looking at other people's faces, I don't want to stay in this small Tiangong City for the rest of my life, Dad, I don't want to! ”
"I don't want to ...... either," Fang Lin shook his head weakly, "but sometimes, we have to face reality. What qualifications do we have to say such things now? Where can we go now but this Heavenly Bow City? I can't even heal the wounds in your body, how can you become a strong man? Child, accept your fate, no matter what, we are also members of the Fang family, it is better to stay in this city than outside, at least, we are not in danger of our lives here. ”
"People from the Fang family? When did they think of us as members of the Fang family? Dad, are you still counting on the Fang family? Fang Yan's eyes burned with anger, and he gritted his teeth and said, "Lin Li's father and son snatched our medicinal materials and beat me like this, what did the Fang family do for us?" Not only did they not make decisions for us, but they even indiscriminately made us apologize to Lin Li's father and son. We didn't comply, and they threatened with force. Why? It is because the Lin family is powerful, because the Lin family has a strong person in the soul condensing realm, and they are unwilling to offend a Lin family for the sake of us like ants. Dad, if we also have strong strength, who would dare to do this to us? ”
Fang Lin's lips moved, but he still didn't say anything in the end. The bitterness at the corners of his mouth became more and more intense.
"Dad, although the Fang family is a major force in this Heavenly Bow City, it has nothing to do with us. Since they kicked us out of the Fang family ten years ago, we have never regarded ourselves as people from the Fang family, the Fang family, I am not rare at all. The voice of the tongue was full of anger.
Ten years ago, when Fang Yan was still six years old, because he injured the new patriarch's favorite son in a child-to-child fight, the family was ruthlessly kicked out by the new patriarch, and claimed that he would never use the Fang family's stitches again, and no matter how much his father pleaded, it would be useless. The dialects of that time are still vivid in his mind, and he will never forget those ruthless faces.
Fang Lin was silent for a long time, glanced at Fang Yan, a ruthless color suddenly flashed in his eyes, and said, "Yan'er, Dad believes in you, even if you have this determination, then Dad will wait for that day." ”
With that, he turned and walked outside.
Fang Yan looked at Fang Lin's back, and his heart ached. He knew that since they were kicked out of the Fang family ten years ago, their lives had been very poor, especially since he was injured by Lin Li half a year ago, his family's life was even worse. Father tried everything for his injury, and even cheekily begged the Fang family again.
Rao was he kneeling outside the door of Fang's house for a day and a night, and he didn't get a single medicinal herb, and he was severely ridiculed by the clansmen with a great sense of superiority. Subjected to white eyes and ridicule. In the end, he was ruthlessly driven out by the order of the Fang family patriarch.
"Dad, there will be that day, my injuries will heal, and I will work hard to cultivate to become a strong man. I'll leave here with you, my mother, and my brother. Live a life of freedom and ease without having to look at other people's faces. Thinking of his injury, the determined light in Fang Yan's eyes suddenly became gloomy, "Lin Li, one day, I will make you pay the price of blood to repay the pain I have suffered now." This day won't be long. ”
With that, he slowly closed his eyes and continued to absorb the thin vitality of this heaven and earth.
He knows very well that in this world where strength is respected, the strong are the rules. Only with strength can we have the right to speak.
Becoming a strong man in this world through cultivation is not only his dream since he was a child, but it has almost become the lifelong pursuit of everyone in this world. Only by becoming strong can you control the fate of others.
His current strength is only at the lowest level of vitality stage, but he is very determined in his heart that he will definitely be promoted to the next realm, the soul condensing realm.
In the entire Heavenly Bow City, in addition to the city lord Ye family, who had the strength of the Soul Condensing Realm, the patriarchs of the Fang family and the Lin family were also the strength of the Soul Condensing Realm.
……
"Bang bang bang!"
I don't know how long it took, and there was a sudden knock on the door of the Fang family's compound.
Before Fang Yan could get up, the courtyard door was pushed open from the outside, and two middle-aged men in uniform walked in with a medicinal herb in their hands.
"The Ye family?" The dialect naturally recognized that this costume represented the Ye family, the city lord of Heavenly Bow City. But what puzzled him was how the Ye family's guards could come to his house and bring medicinal herbs.
Not only was he puzzled, but the people gathered outside the Fang family's compound were also very puzzled. It is very rare for the Ye family guards to enter ordinary people's homes.
"You're the tongue?" One of the guards asked with a blank face.
"I am." Fang Yan stood up and replied.
"These are two hundred-year-old medicinal herbs, and now they belong to you."
"Give it to me?" Fang Yan was stunned and asked in disbelief, "Why give it to me?" ”
The Ye family guard glanced at him coldly and said, "This is what Fang Lin sold to the Ye family for ten years, so hurry up." ”
With that, the two threw the herbs at him, turned around and walked out.
"Boom!"
Fang Yan felt a roar in his head, and he almost fainted.
Fang Yan's mother was startled by the sound outside and walked out of the door, and fainted directly after hearing the news. Fortunately, he was supported by his younger brother Fang Rong.
"Sold to the Ye family? Decade? ”
Hearing this news, the crowd gathered outside the Fang family's compound couldn't help but gasp.
"Fang Lin is really courageous, ten years, tsk......t"
"In the current situation of the dialect, he can already be regarded as a wasted person, even if he is given two century-old medicinal herbs, it is a waste. It's a pity for these two medicinal herbs. ”
"This kid is really a disaster, he has completely ruined this family. Without Fang Lin, how could he afford to support this family with him, a waste person. ”
"No, no, no." After a while, Fang Yan woke up violently, grabbed two medicinal herbs and rushed out of the door.
Before he could rush out of the courtyard, there was a commotion in the crowd outside, and two more people walked in. The dialect almost crashed into them.
"What are you doing here? Get out of the way. Fang Yan stared at the two people in front of him with red eyes, and a cold and piercing voice popped out from between his teeth.
The person who came was the daughter of the Fang family's chief steward and the current patriarch, an old man over half a hundred years old and an arrogant woman of eighteen or nineteen years old.
"Presumptuous, tongues, I think you are impatient enough to dare to talk to us like this." Steward Fang's face sank and he scolded angrily.
"Get out of the way." The dialect's voice grew colder and colder.
"It seems that no matter how much discipline you are, you don't know what etiquette is." A cold light flashed in Steward Fang's eyes, and as soon as his palm was raised, he wanted to fan him in the face.
"Steward Fang." At this moment, Fang Tingting, the eldest lady of the Fang family, spoke, she glanced at Fang Yan arrogantly, and her fair-skinned melon seed face showed a slight sneer, "Why do you want to be like a wasted person?" Let's get down to business. ”
"Yes, miss." Steward Fang withdrew his palm, looked at Fang Yan and sneered, "Anyway, you are also surnamed Fang." But Fang Lin actually sold himself to the Ye family without authorization, which really disgraced the Fang family's face. Now that the patriarch has decided to expel your family from the Fang family forever, from now on, you will no longer have the slightest relationship with the Fang family, and anything you do will only represent yourself and have nothing to do with the Fang family. Do you understand? ”
"Expelled from the Fang family?" Fang Yan forcibly held back the anger in his heart, looked at the two of them coldly, and sneered: "Do you think that I will be rare with the Fang family's signboard?" Since we left the Fang family ten years ago, I have never regarded myself as a member of your Fang family. I will also tell you today, although my surname is Fang, I have nothing to do with you. From now on, you will walk on your sunny path, and I will cross my single-plank bridge. The two are irrelevant. ”
"Okay, very good, I hope you won't beg to return to Fang's house in the future." Fang Tingting frowned slightly, feeling a little angry that she didn't see him pleading and crying bitterly. What she was even more angry about was that the Fang family, who had always made her proud, would be unattractive in the eyes of this half-ruined person in front of her.
"Begging to go back to Fang's house? Hum. Fang Yan sneered, "Even if you beg me in the future, I will not return to your so-called Fang family." ”
"Presumptuous." Steward Fang was obviously also enraged by Fang Yan's words, and the palm he had just put down raised again.
"Bullying a seriously injured person like me is only something that your Fang family can do. You will only dare to show your superiority in front of us. Fang Yan glared angrily, "Old thing, if you have the ability, you will kill me." If you have the ability, you can challenge the authority of the Ye family and kill me in this city. ”
As soon as these words came out, the audience was silent, and even the dozens of people who were watching the show outside the courtyard gate held their breath in surprise, looking at the dialect that was already a waste in their eyes. Obviously, they didn't expect that he would dare to say such aggressive words in the face of the powerful Fang family.
Everyone in Heavenly Bow City knows that the city lord has a rule that no one is allowed to kill people in the city.
However, the lord of the city only stipulated that he could not kill anyone, but he did not stipulate that he should not hurt anyone.
In front of so many people, it was naturally impossible for Steward Fang to take back his palm like this. Even if he didn't dare to take his life, it would be very simple to make his injuries a few points worse.
"Smack!"
Steward Fang knocked Fang Yan to the ground with a palm, and said hatefully: "Little beast who doesn't know the height of the sky, I will kill you today." ”
"Steward Fang." Fang Tingting spoke up again at the right time and gave him a step down. "Let's go, killing him will only tarnish the reputation of our Fang family, with the current situation of his family, he will starve to death in less than a month, why dirty our hands?"
After saying that, she stopped looking at the dialect, turned around and walked out.
Steward Fang followed the trend and withdrew his palm. Before leaving, he also said two extremely shameless words: "Hmph, if Miss hadn't stopped me, I would have killed you today." ”
Fang Yan silently got up from the ground, clenched his fists tightly together, and after a while, he slowly let go, picked up the two medicinal herbs and went out.
