Gu Chunuan threw away the oil-paper umbrella and sat next to Ye Feng, accompanying him quietly. Under the scorching sun, Gu Chunuan hesitated how to persuade him.
Unexpectedly, Ye Feng spoke first.
He didn't speak for a long time, and his slightly hoarse voice slowly sounded.
"I am an unknown person. Anyone who encounters me will be unlucky. Those uncles and aunts from the former slave farm, some kind-hearted guards in Wanghun Mountain, Granny Ye's family, and all the villagers in Xiaohe Village, I'm afraid...
"
She was afraid that she and Xiao Yuxuan would also be implicated by him.
Gu Chunuan knew what he was thinking and interrupted him directly, "Who said you are an unknown person? You are kind-hearted and value love and justice. How many people are lining up to be friends with you."
Ye Feng smiled bitterly, sitting under the scorching sun, but could not feel any warmth.
"I have been in the slave farm since I can remember. Although life was a little harder at that time, I was very happy because there were many uncles and aunts there who treated me very well."
"Do you know what my biggest wish was at that time?"
Gu Chunuan asked tentatively, "Find your biological parents and return to them?"
"No, my biggest wish is to be a small steward, so that I can let my uncles and aunts do less work. Therefore, I learn to live by their faces and learn to please them."
"When I was young, they said that if you want to be a steward, you have to be literate. If you don't know how to read, you can't be a steward. So every day, I asked my uncles and aunts in the slave farm to teach me how to read, but most of them couldn't, so I ran away.
Go outside the school and secretly listen to the teachers' lectures."
"Every time I'm caught, I'm inevitably beaten, but I'm very happy. A few dozen sticks can be exchanged for one word, and it's worth it."
"Sometimes the beatings were so severe that I couldn't get up for many days. I would crawl or sneak outside the school and continue to eavesdrop. Day after day, year after year, no matter how many times I was beaten or how many punishments I received with a stick, I would never stop listening.
Keep at it, the teacher at the college may be soft-hearted and can't stand it anymore, so he reluctantly left me outside the door to listen to the class."
"At that moment, I was ecstatic. I ran back and told my uncles and aunts. But... they all fell..."
"What does falling mean?" After Gu Chunuan asked, he wanted to slap himself.
After traveling through time and space, your days have gone crazy, and you don’t even know what it means to fall down.
Ye Feng spoke calmly, as if he was just talking about an insignificant matter, but from the hands he clenched tightly from time to time, you could feel that he was enduring great pain.
Desperately forbearing.
"If you fall down, you are dead and will never come back. They all starved to death. The new stewards embezzled food and filled their own pockets for their own benefit, causing many slaves to starve to death."
"I was very sad and couldn't bear to see them all give up their food to me even if they starved to death, so... I reported it to the new kitchen manager."
Gu Chunuan frowned.
When he went to Wanghun Mountain to rescue Ye Feng, Jiang Xu seemed to have said that his parents managed to work as kitchen stewards, but were reported by Ye Feng for depriving slaves of food, causing his parents to be beaten to death, so he took revenge on Ye Feng.
"I just wanted them to stop withholding food. I didn't want to harm anyone, but after I reported it, the new kitchen manager was beaten to death. That was the first time I harmed anyone. Two lives were lost because of my death."
In one word, it’s gone…”
Gu Chunuan corrected him, "You didn't harm anyone, they were the ones who reaped the consequences. If they weren't greedy enough to deprive the slaves of their food, they wouldn't have been beaten to death. You don't have to feel guilty. That kind of scum, even without you, they wouldn't be beaten to death."
He will die without a whole body."
"Later, I was selected as a waiter and sent to the main room of Lanqi." Ye Feng trembled and hugged himself tighter. His teeth chattered when he spoke.
"From then on, my world became dark. He was a cruel person, so cruel that it was heinous."
"Those things are in the past, don't think about it anymore." Gu Chunuan wanted to hug him tightly, but she was afraid.
Afraid that he would be broken if she touched him.
"For thirteen years, I thought about committing suicide every day. Every day and every night, my life was worse than death."
Ye Feng looked up at Gu Chunuan, with tears in his cold eyes, "Do you know what day it was? In the dark ice cave, even death was a luxury, even breathing was painful, very painful..."
Gu Chunuan didn't quite understand. Why did Ye Feng tell her this?
Is it possible that you can't think about it and want to commit suicide?
"I know that I cannot die. If I die, the ten people tied to me will also die. Everyone in the slave farm will also die, and my biological parents will be worse than dead."
"Thirteen years, I have endured a full thirteen years. I tried my best to leave Lan Banner Master. The Demon Clan is looking for talents. As long as they are the best in chess, calligraphy, painting, poetry, poetry, and poetry, no matter what their status, they can apply.
If you choose, the selected person can work as a steward at the Demon Clan headquarters. I am very excited and regard him as my only chance."
"So I studied poetry and books and learned piano skills hard. That day, I won the first place. I waited hard, but instead of waiting for good news, I waited for the news that the flag master came to me."
"That night, I was tortured to the point of almost losing my life. I lay in bed for more than a month. I later found out that it was Jiang Xu who had attracted Master Lan, who saw that I played the piano well and had some talent.
, so he doesn’t want to let me go.”
Ye Feng smiled bitterly and continued, "One autumn night banquet, Lan Banner was in a good mood and issued an amnesty. As long as the martial arts is high enough and you can challenge a great master, you can break away from the status of a slave and a waiter and become a flag bearer."
"My heart was moved again, but I was just a waiter. There was no martial arts, and no one was willing to teach me martial arts. I secretly watched others practice martial arts, and in the dead of night, I followed the same example and learned a few moves."
"When I had not learned anything, Jiang Xu reported me to Lan Banner Master. Everyone thought that I was going to be severely punished again, but Lan Banner Master not only did not beat me, but taught me personally.
My martial arts."
"At that time, the whole Wanghun Mountain was boiling. Everyone was envious of me. Only I knew that teaching me martial arts was just breaking all the bones in my body over and over again. Ha...he said, only breaking the bones
Knock them all off and grow new bones to be suitable for martial arts training. It’s ridiculous that I take it seriously.”
"Then who taught you your martial arts?"
Although Ye Feng's martial arts is not high, it is not bad either, especially his sound attack, which is a unique skill.
"No one taught me, I just figured it out by myself after playing the piano a lot."
Self-taught without a teacher?
That's really awesome.
If someone taught him, he would not be able to become a master based on his martial arts talent.
Gu Chunuan looked at his left hand, the five fingers of his left hand, and the hand bowl. His arm had been broken at least dozens of times, so his left hand didn't have much strength at all.
"Is your left hand broken at that time?"
"No. He likes to hear the sound of broken bones. I begged him not to cripple my right hand. After it is crippled, I will no longer be able to serve him. I don't know what kind of kindness he had to do to not cripple my right hand.
.”
To this day, he doesn't know how many times his left hand has been broken.
