Chapter 10: A Breath of Fresh Wind
Early the next morning.
Yang Twenty woke up dizzily and found himself in a room littered with firewood and miscellaneous items, thinking that it should be the wicked man who scolded him yesterday who locked him up here.
I don't know how many miles he ran yesterday afternoon, where he is now, and he is hungry and thirsty at this time.
The young man had no choice but to sit up leaning on the firewood, patted his stomach, and sighed: "Yang Twenty, Yang Twenty, you must hold on, you have to avenge your mother! I don't know how Granny Gui is now......
But he thought again, it's better to be locked up here than to let those bad guys arrest him, I heard the man on horseback yesterday say that many people outside are looking for him, and I'm afraid he will still be caught when he goes out now, but where will he go to learn martial arts?
The ill-fated boy leaned on the firewood and grass like this, looking up at the roof in a daze, and from time to time he listened to the intermittent grunt of hunger.
At noon, the door of the firewood room was opened, and a middle-aged man dressed as a servant came in, holding a square plate with two bowls of rice in his hand, he walked up to Yang Twenty, picked up a bowl and put it on the ground, and said, "I'll come to collect the bowl in a quarter of an hour." ”
Then he continued to the corner of the firewood room and put another bowl of food on the ground over there.
Yang Twenty was surprised to find that there was actually a person in the corner who was locked up in this backyard firewood room with him!
There was a girl who looked about the same size as Yang Twenty, but she had been curled up in the corner of the wall, not making a sound, and he had just wandered thousands of miles before he saw that there was anyone else in the firewood room.
The servant put down the two bowls of food and left the wood-chamber.
Yang Twenty looked at the large bowl of food on the ground and swallowed his saliva.
But he didn't pick it up and eat it, but turned his head to look at the girl in the corner again, and watched her pick up the dishes and chopsticks on the ground and eat them, so he picked up the dishes and chopsticks.
As a result, the girl in the corner only chewed and ate a few bites slowly, and Yang Twenty devoured the bottom of the bowl, and then as if she had choked on eating too quickly, she burped several times before she stopped.
The girl had eaten less than half a bowl before she put the chopsticks on the ground.
A quarter of an hour later, the servant man came in on time to clean up the dishes and chopsticks, and before leaving, he told Yang Twenty: "The thatched toilet is behind the firewood room, if you kid dare to pee here, be careful that the housekeeper chops up your thing." ”
After the servant went out and closed the door again, Yang Twenty also stood up, and walked around the firewood room with a lot of space, in addition to firewood and grass sundries, there were also some discarded and dilapidated tables and chairs, and then he and the girl in the corner were left.
Yang Twenty went back to the place at the beginning and sat down, he didn't go to talk to the girl in the corner who was probably as unfortunate as him, it wasn't that Yang Twenty was unkind, but he was lying here before, recalling what happened in the past few days, except for his mother's words to let him live strongly, the most echoing in his mind was Granny Gui's sentence "Don't trust anyone".
However, the girl didn't seem to have any intention of accosting this new "roommate" who had come to share her suffering, to be precise, since Yang Twenty woke up, except for the sound of him just eating like a starving ghost, and the girl had to look this way, she always sat in the corner with her hands on her knees and her head down.
Yang Twenty did nothing and stayed with a strange girl without any communication until the sun went down, and the servant came to bring them food again, but this time he also gave them a bowl of water.
After the servant went out, Yang Twenty hurriedly picked up a bowl of water and drank it in one gulp, before picking up the bowl and chopsticks and preparing to eat.
At this moment, the door was opened again, and it was the turtle boy who had bitten his arm yesterday, and that arm was hung around his neck with a white cloth belt, as if it had been broken.
The other had a whip in his hand, followed by two evil slaves.
Yang Twenty held the rice bowl and involuntarily moved his body back.
Turtle Gong came over viciously, raised his hand is a whip, and Yang Twenty threw the rice bowl on the ground at once, and fell all over the ground, and then Turtle Gong pointed at Yang Twenty and said angrily: "Fuck you little rabbit cub, you dare to bite Lao Tzu's arm, see that Lao Tzu doesn't kill you little bastard today, just scold you little mongrel, what's wrong with you, come and continue to bite me......"
Yang Twenty's eyes widened with anger, and his whole face was already red with anger, and he was about to get up and pounce on him and fight to the death with this wicked man.
Unexpectedly, as soon as he got up, he was kicked to the ground by a family member behind the turtle father, and then he was whipped and kicked by the turtle father, and then the turtle father threw down the whip directly, picked up a wooden stick on the ground, and kept greeting Yang Twenty.
When Yang Twenty's skin was almost opened, and he was covered in blood, Gu Gong stopped moving, but still spat at Yang Twenty.
Looking at the little Hanako who was lying on the ground and didn't bite him at all, Gu Gong turned around and left with satisfaction.
Before going out, he said: "Tell the backyard that in the future, I will only give this little bastard half a bowl of rice for every meal, and you dare to bite me." ”
And Yang Twenty actually didn't say a word from beginning to end, just gritted his teeth and endured the pain, and was beaten badly.
But fortunately, although this turtle man was vicious, and Yang Twenty was covered in blood, but it was basically a flesh injury, and it did not hurt his muscles and bones, at least he could still move.
After the turtle went out, Yang Twenty slowly climbed forward, and then leaned on the firewood and grass to make himself lie down a little more comfortably.
After a while, the servant who delivered the meal came in to clean up the dishes and chopsticks, and looked at the little beggar lying on the ground, covered in blood, the servant shook his head, sighed softly, and said to the young man: "You'd better be honest, or you will be beaten." ”
A little mercy, and that's probably all there is to it.
This night, Yang didn't sleep all night, not only in pain, but also in his heart, he remembered these bad people deeply, and one day he wanted to seek justice for himself and avenge his mother!
Once upon a time, a sunny boy helped the villagers to cut grass and feed the cattle and fish cages after school every day, because the master taught him that "a gentleman is more than being kind to others", and his mother also told him to "give flowers to people, and there is fragrance in your hands".
Yang Twenty understands these truths, but others don't.
A carefree child, since the heavy rain that night, has been swept into this bottomless rivers and lakes, and since then, all that is left for him is to overcome thorns and thorns and swim against the current.
It was a long night for Yang Twenty, who had to resist the pain of his flesh and endure the hunger in his belly.
Finally dawn.
It was still almost noon when the servant pushed the door in with a plate, but this time he sent a bowl of water to Yang Twenty, but there was really only half a bowl of food in the bowl.
After the servant went out, Yang Twenty sat up with difficulty, he couldn't help but look sideways at the corner, and sure enough, it was the turtle man who gave the order and cut his meal by half.
The boy pursed his lips, shook his head, and nodded firmly.
Half a month ago, he was a carefree teenager and didn't know what the world was, but at this time he understood more about what self-improvement was.
What about the scars all over my body, what if I only give half a bowl of rice to eat, as long as I Yang Twenty still has a breath left, I will live strongly.
Then one day, justice will be done to all of you.
Yang Twenty thought so, and even the injuries on his body didn't feel so painful.
At this time, a slender figure came to him, put the bowl full of food in her hand in front of Yang Twenty, and then picked up the half bowl of food that originally belonged to Yang Twenty and walked back to the corner.
The teenager was a little confused at first.
The girl who couldn't see her face clearly didn't speak, she just walked back to the corner and ate the half bowl of rice silently.
The boy finally understood what the girl meant.
He looked at the girl who was still silent, gratefully, and picked up the rice bowl and ate it.
The servant who delivered the meal had a very accurate grasp of the time, and every time he arrived at a quarter of an hour, he came in on time to collect the dishes, but this time the servant was a little surprised, the girl actually finished the meal for the first time, and then he looked at the two people in the room suspiciously, and walked out without saying anything.
In the following days, the servants brought two meals a day, morning and evening, on time, but the bowl given to the boy was still only half of the meal.
But every time the servant came in to collect the bowl, the girl was able to eat the food in the bowl cleanly, and once the servant turned his head to look at the two of them and smiled before going out, and knew it in his heart.
Yang Twenty finally felt a breeze blowing in this dark firewood room, warming his heart.
