1 YEAR LATER
Duak duak buk duak
In the forest three young men beat one man who was curled up on the ground, "Let's beat him harder!? Let's see how strong he's holding on!?" said a boy named Jiang Feng. One of the sons of the Jiang family, the founding family of the empire. He and his friend were beating up a young man younger than them.
His name was Liu Yohan. They love to bother Yohan all the time. Not knowing why, but Jiang Feng was always annoyed whenever he saw Yohan. Without anyone to mention or offend for sure he did not like the presence of Yohan. Even breathing in the same air as him was a disgusting thing like dirt.
Liu Yohan, a fifteen-year-old with a height like eighteen and a handsome face. His hair was a long thick black, blood red eyed, black eyebrows with perfect arches, a sharp nose, white skin though slightly pale, and a charm that could not be denied. Perhaps it was because of that the girl named Qin Qiu liked him and instead Yohan who was allegedly teasing him. It finally ignited Jiang Feng's emotions that favored Qin Qiu.
He looked at Yohan with hate as if he had a grudge. ''Basic shameless!? How dare you tease Qin'er!? She's a woman I understand? You handsome pretent!?" taunted. Not long after he saw a large block of wood on the edge of the tree. "You got him!?"
The two subordinates of Jiang Feng held onto Yohan's hand. While Jiang Fengyan himself had already come carrying a long wooden block.
Seeing That Yohan was wide-eyed in shock at what Jiang Feng was holding. "J Jiang Feng, I really never teased Qin Qiu. You don't hit me with that, I could die!?" sanya fear. His eyes trembled in fear looking at the wooden block that still had nails on its edge.
Seen a happy smile on Jiang Feng's face, "Ha ha ha ha isn't that nice? After all, living is useless. Rather than being trash it is better to be plant fertilizer!? Well, at least your life is of little use." he said without a heart. He walked to the edge of Yohan.
Duak!?
"Ukh!?"
The first punch, all the spikes instantly stuck in his back. Yohan squeezed her jaw to endure this tremendous pain. And when the wooden beam was lifted really hurt.
Duak!?
The second punch, his back started to bleed and he still held it down without shouting.
Duak
"Ukh!? Hikh!?"
Another punch following makes anyone not want to see it. The two people who were guarding Yohan were actually feeling pity, but at the same time they were also happy to see Yohan in pain.
Some time passed, Jiang Feng threw out a wooden block in his hand. The two men also took off Yohan's hands.
Brucks
Yohan fell on her stomach with her back already covered in wounds and blood. His clothes were also torn. His breath looked very slow as if it was going to disappear. But his eyes were still slightly open.
"Did he really die?" asked Xituo, one of Jiang Feng's subordinates.
"If he dies what should we do?" caituo asked, also one of Jiang Feng's subordinates.
"Ck, what are you guys messing around with? Let's just send him to his poor mother!?" jiang Feng replied clucking bitterly at the sight of his two subordinates who were too stupid.
"But, what if his mother reports to your father?" Ask Xituo.
"Then we burn down his house before he does, too!? Beres right? Or we leave this trash here. Let the ferocious beasts eat it." Jiang Feng said with his evil smile.
His two subordinates also smiled evilly just like his chairman. They walked away leaving Yohan who heard everything they said. His hands clenched tightly on the ground with the cruelty of the three people. If he had great strength then without a second thought he would instantly kill them. Moreover, they insulted his mother. 'I will become strong!? And make you kneel!?' he thought with frightening cold red eyes.
The three of them left without looking back. With the funny laughs they were laughing at. Heartlessly leaves Yohan alone with a wound that leaves the young man dying.
Yohan tried to get up, she dragged her own body towards the tree beside her. Then tend despite the pain and pain is always present in his back. Suddenly his chest hurt, "Uhuk uhuk uhuk?!" he covered his mouth which was spitting out blood. Not because of Jiang Feng and comrades, but because of his weak body. So, not only had he always been Jiang Feng's bulian material, he also had to be sick with a weak body. "Damn it..fuck it.." he muttered slowly. Every day his lungs hurt, his breathing was tight, and his body felt heavy even though he was this straight.
He did not feel life nor did he feel death. If it's like this, he'd rather die.
From a distance a young man was walking with limping feet. The blood on his back dripped making anyone horrified to see him. Now everyone keeps staring at him without anyone asking 'are you okay?' or 'let me help you!' they just look without taking action. They already know what happened to Yohan. But even though they knew, they did not dare to go against someone in power.
Or the…
They really don't want to help him? Some of them looked at him cynically, some looked at him suspiciously, and some looked at him sharply. There were many unpleasant gazes directed at him. Liu Yohan's. The fifteen-year-old child who was hated by a noble child of the Jiang family, was also hated by his own village. That's Liu Yohan. But he still walked firmly without caring about the gaze of hatred received. Truly, he was someone who was strong despite his weak body.
"I'm home!?" Yohan went home. His eyes widened in shock when he found his mother sitting on the floor, "Mother!?" He soon approached his mother, Daoyun.
A middle-aged woman who still looked weak. "Hm? Yohan, are you home?" Daoyun asked looking at Yohan with her smile.
"I told you, I should just shut up in bed. What if mom why napa? If mother stays like this I'm afraid." she looks very panicked thinking about all the possibilities in the future. If Daoyun does not exist, she will be alone. No one will care about him anymore. Because everyone obviously hates him.
"Yes yes, don't overdo it like that. I just tripped. What's more worrying is Han'er, are you being bullied again by them?" daoyun asked back after seeing Yohan's blood-filled body and also some blue body parts.
Yohan looked the other way as she said, "I'm fine, it's just a small wound" she replied casually but was actually nervous. She was worried that her mother was worried because of her.
Daoyun knew that Yohan's wound was not a small one. He looked at the boy's increasingly thin body, the blood marks around his mouth, and the black lines around his eyes were becoming more and more visible. "I don't think it out. You worry about others when your body condition is also injured, hahh.." he let out a long sigh. But since he was already very familiar with Yohan's nature then it was better to follow her wish, "Alright, then can Han'er help me stand up?" Ask Daoyun gently.
"Yes!?" yohan replied enthusiastically. After that Yohan helped Daoyun up.
After that Yohan cleaned her own wounds with warm water. Feels painful and painful. The wound this time will probably heal for quite a while. He was very unfortunate to get enemies from noble families. Suddenly someone's hand helped wipe the blood on his back. Yohan looked back and saw Daoyun had helped her.
Yohan looks anxious when Daoyun wants to help clean her wound. "Ah, mother, I can do it myself" Yohan said softly. He did not want to let Daoyun know his wound.
"That's it, let me help you a little!?" Now Daoyun's tone of voice sounded fierce.
Because Daoyun was so determined to help him how else. After that, Yohan rubbed her right and left arms.
"I'm sorry." came a grieving voice from Daoyun. The voice of someone holding back his cry. He sounds like someone really feels guilty. It even felt Daoyun's trembling hands wiping her wounds.
Without saying a word Yohan turned around and hugged Daoyun. Rubbing her back is like calming a baby. "It's okay, it's not mom's fault. And, I'm fine." he won Daoyun. Lying if he is okay. This much and severe wound made his body feel heavy and hot. But looking at Daoyun who looked more in pain than herself, she undoes the intention of showing how much pain she is currently in.
After all, Yohan wrapped her wound with a shabby white cloth that looked like there was a bit of blood. With a potluck of medicine.
Brucks
He laid his body on a long box with a brown cloth that was enough for his body. All the world was spinning in his eyes. His body felt extremely hot, like it was being burned on top of a smoldering charcoal. His breath felt very tight even though his body was so thin. In his current chaotic mind he instead saw a beautiful woman in black, the clothes he was wearing looked expensive and of high quality. Only nobles can buy such clothes. Her hair was longer than her hips, with floral hairpins in her hair. His eyes were golden with a straight line in the middle. Her skin was smooth white and her face was small with thin lips. She's the prettiest woman he's ever seen.
"Who?" ask Yohan slowly. He wanted to wake up but his body felt heavy.
The woman did not answer Yohan's question. Daoyun arrived with a basin filled with warm water. He squeezed the cloth to compress Yohan. He's very understanding.
"Mother, who's that woman over there?" yohan asked while pointing towards the woman.
But Daoyun furrowed the middle of her brows, she looked at the direction Yohan pointed at. But there was no woman there. "Nobody's there" Daoyun replied.
Yohan was more surprised to hear Daoyun's reply, "No way, he's there!? Now that he's here, he's headed towards me." he sounded very convincing and his face looked terrified.
Suddenly Daoyun held onto Yohan's cheeks to look right into her eyes, "Calm down, there's no one there. Han'er has a high fever so maybe it's just your hallucination. See it? Your heat is like fire now." Daoyun said to calm Yohan. "Now what woman do you see still exists?" tanyakanya.
Miraculously the woman is gone. "Nothing."
"justified?! It was just your hallucination. If you see hallucinations again then ignore them." she said while stroking Yohan's hair that felt smooth.
