C3 A Sudden Change of Events

The boy ran out of the house with guilt in his heart, and it turned out he owed so much without knowing it.

Maybe my parents didn't want me back then because they knew that I was a sinner when I was born. The youth thought bitterly. At this age, who could compare to him? His childhood was only dull, and now, even his grandfather's only light had become an extravagant hope. When he thought of this, a layer of death energy covered the youth's eyes. His footsteps also moved towards the cliff bit by bit.

Grief was greater than heart. He was a person who deserved to die, so why struggle so bitterly? As the cliff approached step by step, a trace of relief actually rose in the youth's heart. Since his life was not satisfactory, then he would die with a thousand grudges. Closing his eyes, the youth felt the wind blow by his ear, and he jumped.

There was no bloody mess as he had imagined. The youth opened his eyes and discovered that the old man had already arrived at this place. He was currently tightly holding onto the youth's hand.

Lord. . . Lord!

The youth suddenly burst into tears. [Please let go. I shouldn't have lived in this world. Why did you save me?]

The old man ignored the young man's words. He just quietly looked at the young man at the bottom of the cliff and said in a hoarse voice, Your life was exchanged for 16 lives. Even if you die, you have to ask them if they agree.

The young man was stunned and immediately stopped struggling.

The old man pulled the young man up and gave him a backhanded slap. He said: This slap is for your parents. As a son, you dare to insult your own life like this. You deserve to be hit!

After saying that, he gave another slap and said: This slap is for your uncles who died. They risked their lives to exchange for our lives, but you don't know the severity of the slap. You deserve to be hit!

This third slap is for yourself. It's also the one that deserves to be hit. Maybe you think there's no point in living anymore, but do you know that? There are still many people in this world who are struggling with their lives on the line, unwilling to give up for the sake of a chance to live, yet you abandon it like a worn out shoe. You deserve to be beaten!

Only now did the youth wake up from a dream. He immediately bent down and knelt before the old man, choking and unable to speak. The old man was even more unbearable. He tightly hugged the youth, and just like that, the two of them hugged each other and cried.

Grandpa, this child was wrong. This child will never seek death again. [Don't worry, grandpa. ] After a long time, the young man stopped crying. He looked up and said firmly: In the future, if they hit me again, I won't run or hide anymore. Let them hit me to my heart's content. This is what I owe them, I'll pay them back!

The old man was already feeling guilty, but now that he heard the young man's words. . . He just felt that the heavens were torturing such a child. It was truly unfair, so he touched the young man's head with trembling hands. Silly child, you don't owe them anything. Everything was just the will of the heavens. It was grandfather who was useless. I've made you suffer. Don't worry. Grandpa will bring you out of here today, to a place where no one will bully you ever again. I'll never come back!

The old man had truly decided. Even if he left this place that he missed, he would never let this child suffer any more grievances. He had already felt guilty for so many years. He could not let the child follow him forever and never be able to raise his head again. He immediately grabbed the youth's hand and prepared to return.

After leaving, he immediately discovered that something was wrong. It turned out that the youth had left in a hurry just now, and unknowingly, he had already arrived at the cliff at the village entrance. It was already noon, but looking down, there wasn't a trace of smoke rising from the kitchen. The old man discovered that something was amiss, so he didn't stay any longer and hurriedly brought the youth down the mountain.

When the two of them arrived at the entrance of the village, they did not see a single person. It was really strange. The villagers had the habit of gathering together and chatting, especially at this moment. Usually, it would be extremely lively. However, at this moment, it was quiet and fake.

Even the young man felt a little uneasy. Although he usually did not attract people, he could not help but feel worried when he could not see everyone at this moment.

Grandpa, did something happen? If it were any other time, the young man probably wouldn't have asked that. However, the mess on the floor of the few houses in front of him was obviously left in a hurry.

Thinking of this, the old man thought to himself. Not good! He then signaled the young man to shut his mouth, and the old man and the young man cautiously moved towards the village.

The old man was originally a hunter, and was the first person in the village when he was young. Although he was already in his twilight years, his instincts as a hunter were still there. He felt that today might be a disaster for the village, so he didn't really care. However, he really couldn't be at ease with the children in the village, even though it was because of that incident all those years ago. The villagers more or less all had some resentment towards him, but that was still their flesh and blood after all. If anything were to go wrong, how could he explain it to them?

When he thought of this, the old man didn't dare let the youth take the risk again. He let the youth wait here, and he would come back soon. How could the youth be willing? When he heard the old man's words, he followed even more closely. The old man was stubborn. However, he could only make him listen and not act recklessly. Seeing that the youth agreed, he continued on his way.

The two followed the tracks on the ground and walked for another incense stick of time before the old man waved his hand to signal the young man to stop. The young man followed his grandfather and bent down. Only then did he realize that they had already arrived in front of the village's private school.

The young man had secretly come here a few times in the past, but he had never entered before. Now when he looked up, he saw that the small private school was filled with people of all ages and genders in the village. Standing in front of them was a group of strangers whom he had never met before.

This group of people were dressed in black, with a double-headed snake on their back. They looked extremely demonic, and the person in the lead was holding a long saber at his waist. He was laughing evilly, and an inch-long scar hung on his face that was covered in flesh. It was even more ferocious.

Grandpa, it's a bad guy. I. . . The young man wanted to say more, but the old man covered his mouth.

[Don't talk, be careful that they hear you. ] The old man said in a low voice.

The young man looked at the distance between him and his grandfather. He was about seventy to eighty meters away, but he didn't dare to refute his grandfather's words. He obediently shut his mouth and continued to observe the situation on the stage.

The leader of the villains slowly walked up to the high platform and spoke to the entire village in a deep voice like a dark snake, Today, we have gathered everyone. In fact, we have no ill intentions. As long as everyone obediently hand over the girls in the village and the valuable items, I guarantee. . .

[Dream on!]

Before the evil man could finish speaking, he was interrupted by a well-built man in the village. You bandits, we won't let you off easily even if we die!

The old man was so angry that he cursed in his heart, [How reckless!]

As expected, one of the henchmen jumped out when he saw that his leader had been defeated. [Kid, you must be tired of living!] As he spoke, he drew his long saber and was about to make a move. However, he was stopped by the evil man earlier: Don't use your blade. We're here to make a deal. Don't scare the girls, hehe. . .

Before he finished his words, he suddenly launched an attack. He actually broke the neck of the man who had spoken earlier on the spot. Instantly, everyone was frightened.

After that, the evil man even threw the corpse somewhere else, and it was extremely casual.

[Big Brother!]

The old man cursed in his heart. Bastard! Before he could make a move, he saw another child about the same age as the young man crawl out of the frightened crowd.

[Bastard, return my brother!] Return my brother!]

The child was crying as he rushed towards the enemy who had killed his brother. No one could stop him. When they came back to their senses, the child's chest had already been pierced by a steel knife.

Bastard, I'm going to kill you all!

Seeing this, the old man could no longer hold back. He furiously rushed out with extreme speed. With a few leaps, he arrived behind an evil person. Before the crowd could react, the old man had already smashed the head of the evil person. From the moment he attacked to the moment he killed the enemy, he did not stop at all. His entire action was done in one go.

Then, the old man took his saber and slashed at the leading evil man with all his strength. To capture a thief, one must first capture the king!

The old man was truly angry. He had used all his strength in this attack. However, the evil man was calm. He waited for the knife to come closer. Fang Cai used the side of the blade to block, and the old man's strike was steadily received. Clearly, he was not mediocre, and the old man saw that his attack was unsuccessful. Instantly, the blade went straight for the enemy's face. At the same time, he flew out a leg to attack the enemy's lower body.

This seemingly chaotic fighting style was something that the old man had practiced over the years in a life and death battle with beasts. It was extremely practical and could kill with every move. Even though this evil man's skills were not bad, he was still in a sorry state for a moment.

This old thing does have some ability. The evil man was shocked and barely dodged the old man's heavy punch. He did not dare to be careless and directly swung the steel knife in his hand to the extreme. Sparks immediately shot out from the close combat. The sound of ping-pong could be heard without end. For a moment, he and the old man were inextricably locked in a fight.

[Stop! Don't catch my mother!] An exclamation frightened the old man. Looking closely, it turned out that those underlings saw that their leader could not do anything to the old man. They tried to catch some women and children to threaten the old man. The old man cursed in his heart, [Despicable!] However, half of his left shoulder was cut off by the enemy's knife, and blood immediately flowed down his arm.

The old man sighed lightly. He knew that he would not be able to escape death today, but it was not good to let these grandsons have a good time. He gritted his teeth and was about to fight again when he saw that the young man had already crawled out of the ditch.

Stop, you are not allowed to harm my grandfather!

Seeing that the young man was about to rush over, the old man immediately became anxious. Don't come over! Hurry up and run! Run!

[Old man, you should take care of yourself first!] The evil man took advantage of the moment when the old man was distracted and sent a blade flying. The old man hurriedly blocked it with all his might, but his injuries were too severe. In the end, the thief's blade still pierced through his chest.

With a clang, the old man's saber fell to the ground. After that, his entire body seemed to have been exhausted by the saber and he no longer struggled. He allowed the knife to pierce into his body, and just like that, he turned around to look at the young man. His eyes were so calm that it was suffocating. [Go back. There's something for you under the cabinet at home. ] Take your things and find your parents. Don't ever come back. ]

Then, he actually turned around and hugged the enemy tightly. He shouted at the top of his voice, Go! Don't die! Live well for us!

The youth knew that the old man was using his last bit of life to let him escape. But would he really run again? Why did he have a feeling that he was already tired of it? From the moment he was born, he had been abandoned. I've killed so many people, maybe I'll die just like that. It was also a form of relief. It had been ten years. From the day he was rescued, he had carried too many burdens on his shoulders. At this moment, he truly felt tired.

He raised his head blankly. It turned out that the clear sky had lost its color just like that. But why was he still a little unwilling? Because he hadn't gotten the recognition yet? Because there was still a blood feud that had yet to be avenged? Because of his grandfather? Didn't he say that he would take him away? To a place that no one could find, hehe. No one would bully him again. There was no hatred there. No rolling eyes. . .

[Ahhhhh. . . ] . . . ]

Why! Was it that difficult for him to survive? Why did everyone who treated him well have to die? The youth couldn't understand. He just stood there in a daze, laughing and crying. It was so miserable that it made one's heart ache.

This was the cruelty of life. Even though the people who were alive were covered in wounds, they still couldn't obtain a trace of pity from it.
