"Ling Lei, you little brat, stop here, you stole my eggs again, don't you want to live anymore?" After this roar, the original tranquility of the poor and simple mountain village was broken.
On the farmland to the west, a 18-meter-old man with a broom in his hand was chasing a little boy of 16 or 17 years old. The little boy was very thin, but as nimble as a monkey. He held the two eggs in his hand.
He had no intention of letting go and ran as hard as he could.
From time to time, he would turn around, grinning with his teeth on his face that was not exactly handsome and thin, as if he had the face of a villain.
"Village chief, isn't it just two eggs? Your family can't eat that much anyway, so you should be helping me. Why are you making such a big fire?" He didn't repent at all, but instead mocked the village chief.
"You bastard, I haven't helped you enough since you were a child. Just ask for an egg, but what's the point of stealing? If I don't teach you a lesson today, you won't have a long memory." Although the big man had a loud voice, he was not there at this time.
I continued to chase, chasing this guy with a broom just to scare him. We are all villagers in the same village, so who doesn't know that this bastard has always lived a difficult life.
"I'll tell you next time, I'll tell you next time." The thin young man didn't stop at all, he said quickly with a smile on his face, and disappeared after a while.
Looking at the disappearing figure, the big man showed a satisfied smile. Although this kid was glib every time he saw them, he still had a good heart. Take this stolen egg as an example, although he stole it this time,
But as long as he is a little richer, he will quietly return those things. Even though he has suffered a lot since he was a child, and he almost grew up eating food from hundreds of families, his backbone is much higher than that of ordinary people.
"Is it Lingling's kid again?" The big man chased him for a few steps and then walked towards his home. Before he had even walked a few steps, he saw a woman dressed as a woman and said with a smile.
The big man glanced at the woman angrily and said, "Who else could it be besides this guy? I heard that he recently rescued an old man, maybe he wanted to replenish his body, right?"
"You too! You know it's him, why are you still chasing after him?" The woman patted the dust off the man's body and complained at the same time.
"We can't get used to this problem. Everyone in the village knows that it's okay. But what if this kid goes outside one day and is so sneaky that he is beaten to death without even knowing what's going on?"
"Come on, come on! Freshly baked egg drop soup, one sip will cure all diseases. Look at how thin you are, and you are still clenching your teeth. Isn't this something you can't live with?" In the simple thatched house, Ling
Lei, who was covered in patches, came to the bed with a broken bowl in his hands, and a smile on his face. It was impossible for others to see the hardships he had endured in the past.
He has never seen his parents since he can remember. He survives on dog milk in Yang Village. He has eaten food from almost every family in the village. He has suffered so much and is still alone.
A dilapidated thatched house for company.
A month ago, Ling Lei met this old man when he was hunting in the mountains in order to survive. The old man was as tattered as him and had many signs of injury. Although this boy had been smooth and glib since he was a child, seeing such a man who was almost like himself
Even when he was a beggar, he felt compassion for him and spent a lot of effort to rescue him back home.
At that time, Ling Lei looked at the state of the old man, who was about to die soon. Since he had no money to find a doctor, Ling Lei ignored him and regarded it as a good deed to let the old man enjoy a life without worries about food and clothing for a few days.
Unexpectedly, even though he didn't see a doctor, the old man survived with great difficulty. He didn't say a word to Ling Lei for a month, not even uttering a word.
This made Ling Lei very curious. He had always thought that he had saved a mute? But even so, Ling Lei still took care of him. Of course, this guy didn't want to do anything with this old man. Just kidding, this old guy
He looks like a beggar at first glance, but you can't get anything from him even if you try. In Ling Lei's eyes, this is an old guy whose life is even worse than his own.
The old man's eyes were as cold as ice. Although he remained silent, he did not reject Ling Lei's kindness. He took the egg drop soup and drank it without any guilt.
Ling Lei swallowed hard as he looked at it. He hadn't eaten for a day. To be able to do this, Ling Lei was really benevolent and righteous.
"I think you're almost done. We don't even have half a grain of rice at home now. If you can leave, you'd better go, so as not to starve here with me." Looking at the old man's sharp eyes, he looked at himself.
, Ling Lei felt timid in his heart. After calming down for a while, he still expressed his thoughts.
For a month, because the old man was a sick man, Ling Lei cooked almost all the food available at home for him. In order to take care of him, he had no time to hunt. He had had enough of living without a meal.
Although he clearly knows that if the old man is not here with him, he may starve to death and freeze to death, but if he is with him, I believe the result will be the same. He is only sixteen years old this year. Although he said it is very difficult, he does not want to die.
In desperation, he said this.
"Why did you save me?" Suddenly, just when Ling Lei wanted to drive him out but was still embarrassed, the old man in the hut who he thought was mute actually spoke, with a cold voice that Ling Lei had never heard before.
Such a cold voice.
"You? You? You can talk?" Lin Lei pointed at the old man in disbelief. In the past month, he had never heard the old man speak? And the voice was so ugly.
The old man ignored Ling Lei's words, but still looked at him the same, and continued to ask: "Why did you save me? What's the purpose?" The meaning was already obvious. He wanted to find out whether Ling Lei was sincere or fake.
In fact, after so many days of observation, the old man can still be sure that this kid is sincere in saving him. Since he has not spoken, this kid has told him all the private things, including peeking at the aunt next door taking a bath and disturbing the village.
Dirty things like little sister’s skirt,
According to his judgment, although this boy may sometimes be a bit gangster, a bit sleazy, and a bit cunning, but overall he is still a bit of a chivalrous person. In this regard, he will give himself all the good food this month.
It was obvious that he really cared for him.
"Purpose? I have a purpose? Are you kidding me? If I had a purpose, you old man would have been thrown into the wilderness by me long ago. Not only did I provide you with food and drinks, but I acted like you were serving grandpa every day.
To serve you, I even stole the eggs from the village chief’s house in order to provide you with nutrition. Now you, an old fool, actually turn around and say that I have a purpose. I’m fooling you. If I had known, you, the old guy, would have been injured.
Then give him a good kick." Looking at the old man's sharp eyes.
Ling Lei finally got angry. He really didn't expect this old guy to be such an ungrateful person. He saved his life. In Ling Lei's eyes, nothing in this world is more valuable than life. It's all in vain.
After starving for a month, no one could stand it in exchange for such a sentence.
Sure enough, after hearing Ling Lei's rage, the old man's face turned red. He had been wandering around in the world for many years, and his vigilance had even reached the level of perversion. In any case, this kid in front of him did save his life.
If it weren't for him, he would be dead long ago. Why would he still be sitting here doubting?
To be honest, it's really not the old man's fault.
After all, anyone who travels in the world knows that people's hearts are sinister. Sometimes even one's own son cannot be trusted, let alone a boy he has never met before?
But now that the old man thinks about it, he has indeed overlooked one thing. The little guy in front of him is not a member of the world at all. He is helping him purely out of pity for himself. When he thinks of this, the old man feels relieved.
Already.
"Get lost, get lost. I was too embarrassed to drive you away at first, but now I'm actually suspicious of you~~~Get lost!~~" Ling Lei was still angrily yelling at the old man to get lost.
This time he was really angry.
Suddenly, I heard "Puch!~". Before Ling Lei could react, the old man's withered tree-trunk-like hand grabbed Ling Lei like lightning, and Ling Lei felt a rush of heat rushing into him.
Not to mention the comfortable feeling inside my body right now.
"It's so cool!" When he felt that the power disappeared, Ling Lei let out a long sigh of relief. There were still signs of anger in his comfortable eyes? This guy is just a pug, and he was showing his teeth just now to bite someone.
What? After feeling happy, he actually wagged his tail.
"You have low qualifications and are destined to fail to reach the level of Lian Xinjing. Whatever the case, I will accept you as long as you can save my life." The old man shook his head with a wry smile and said something that Ling Lei could not understand at all.
"What inferiority? What do you mean by practicing the state of mind? What do you want to do?" Ling Lei looked confused. Why couldn't he understand a word this old guy said? Could it be that he was playing riddles?
"Boy, for the sake of saving my life, are you willing to go with me? I can help you live comfortably for the rest of your life, and at least you can live to be a hundred years old." Looking at this naughty boy, he said,
The old man knows that he will not suffer any disadvantages. For a guy like this who has lived in a slippery world for more than ten years, the little guys in his sect may not necessarily be his opponents.
Therefore, at this time, the old man is not worried at all that this kid will be bullied because of his poor qualifications after he really leaves with him. If the kid doesn't bully others, he will already have a high reputation.
"Follow you? Will I really have no worries about food and clothing for the rest of my life? Can I really live to be a hundred years old? Where to go?" At that moment, Ling Lei jumped three feet high. If he didn't do such a good thing, wouldn't it be a fool's errand?
But after just a short while, the guy became frustrated and said slowly: "I have never been out of this village in my life. The uncles and aunts in the village are very good to me, so if I just leave like this, isn't it a bit unloyal?
"
During these years, he had relied on the help from uncles and aunts around him to survive. He left without repaying him, which made Ling Lei feel a little bit regretful at least.
"I'll take care of this, you just need to come with me." The old man's face looked a little better. Although this kid was smooth-talking, smooth-talking, and acting like a little brat, he was still a decent person.
He attaches great importance to love and justice. If his qualifications were not so poor, I believe he would really be a person in the future…………………………………………………………………………
