“Mother ..”
“Go! Hurry along!!! Don't make me force you,” his orders out loud.
Wuxian did not answer his mother's words. He could only obey his mother's orders, which were to disappear from his presence. Although Wuxian's heart ached from his mother's sharp words, he still had to endure it.
It was not just once his mother had behaved like that to him. His mother never wanted him in the world. However, Wuxian still believes that his mother loves him very much, although the way is slightly different from other mothers in general.
“Come!” Wuxian took the boy away with her with her eyes down.
The boy did not move from his place. He just looked at Wuxian's face with a sad look.
Wuxian finally lifted her face. He glanced to the side, looking at the child's face with a cold look.
“You don't have to look at me that way. No need to pity me. I am used to hearing such words from my mother,” Wuxian said as she painted a bland smile on her lips.
‘Stupid boy! How can such a word be taken as ordinary? If someone else were to say it, we could indeed endure it. But if Mother herself said it, it felt many times the pain,’ the inner child.
Wuxian continued to speak to the boy. The boy kept his own mouth. He only listened to everything Wuxian had told him, even though he felt that what Wuxian was talking about was very trivial and boring.
Wuxian continued his steps. While the child who was with him was only following Wuxian from behind him.
Wuxian stopped right in front of his family's stables. It has no other destination to spend the night, other than that.
The boy who went with Wuxian looked at the stables he thought, maybe Wuxian will take him to spend the night there.
“No need to worry. I routinely clean this cage,” said Wuxian. “She Xiao Mao, my friend.” Wuxian introduced a horse to the boy. “He's smart enough and understands my language, but only my language. If it was someone else, he was lazy to listen to it. He also never pooped. I'm providing a place for him to throw dirt. So, you don't have to worry. Although this is a horse stable, but it is quite clean,” explained Wuxian.
Wuxian tidied up the place and took the haystack for their pedestal to make it cleaner.
‘He never stops talking. From the beginning of meeting, until now, he was very comfortable talking about these kinds of things, the inner’ of the child.
Wuxian continued to speak to the boy. The boy kept his own mouth. He only listened to everything Wuxian had told him, even though he felt that what Wuxian was talking about was very trivial and boring.
“How dare that kid! Originally, I didn't want to kill him, but if it was like this, I wouldn't let go!!!” cetus was the leader of the bandits who started burning with anger.
The bandits had managed to escape from the hunter's trap. They still do not give up on finding their targets who run away. Next to those who had been fooled by Wuxian, made them even more eager to find him. They feel trampled because they were fooled by a small child.
“Master, we found a small village around here,” said one of the subordinates who reported to the leader of the bandits.
“A small village? Nice work! Just look, I'll avenge me soon,”.
“I thought the same thing. Everyone, we are getting ready to go to that village and avenge the humiliation we have. Destroy!!!” he shouted loudly.
“Aaaaa!!! Help u! Help me!!”
“Heat.... fast... quickly put out the fire!!!!”
“Aaaa!!”
SREKK!!! JEREB!!!
The fire raged fiercely in a small village that was none other than the village where Yu Wuxian lived. Many villagers tried to save their lives. Unfortunately, they are powerless.
The village had been besieged by an enormous fire and covered their exit. Not only that, some of those who managed to escape would never escape, as anyone who managed to get out had been eagerly anticipated to be slaughtered.
Who else did it if not the ferocious bandits who had turned into human-faced demons?
They poured oil, circled the little village and burned it to the point of making a fire spread, devouring what it touched. Moreover, all the village houses are made of wood with low quality that is easily burned.
“Master, we have completed it. We make sure no one gets away from here,” reported the subordinates of the bandit leader.
“Good! Good one!!! Basic two brats insolent rancor! How dare they underestimate me. We have managed to get rid of one threat, as well as avenge us for their humiliation. Comeing! We have to celebrate,” he said with glee.
He left the village humming and was followed by his subordinate bandits.
“500 silver money awaits us! Let's celebrate this moment!!!” yells.
On the other hand, when the boy who was with Wuxian saw the appearance of the red sky around the village where Wuxian lived, he began to assume strongly that something big had happened there. He began to panic and glanced at Wuxian who had fallen asleep comfortably leaning beside him.
“What is going on? Why did the night sky turn red? Is it possible.... There is a famine there?! Nah! He can't get to know this. This foolish child would definitely commit such a foolish act in vain and put his life at risk. Should... I just let him fall asleep?” he muttered while glancing at Wuxian who was sleeping very soundly.
He didn't want to wake Wuxian up, because Wuxian would do something stupid if he found out. He guessed that if Wuxian knew what was going on with the village he lived in, without a second thought, he would definitely run there and break through everything that would harm him. Wuxian would definitely do a foolish and futile act, just to save his family.
"I'm sorry that I heard this from you. I did all this for your own good. A child like you would do a stupid thing if you knew about the tragedy that befell your village. Instead, I will definitely take care of you from this moment on. Don't hate me so much for this," Huang Chao said as he looked at Wuxian who was lying down.
The boy could only close his eyes and pretend he didn't know what was going on. He rose up from his place, watching the red sky growing reddish. There was no hope of avoiding the fate that had happened. All is the will of destiny. The boy tried to think positively even though he could not dispel his guilt for dragging Wuxian into his troubles.
He tried to close his eyes again, hoping he could go back to sleep that night. However, his worries were accompanied by his guilt towards Wuxian, ringing in his head and making his drowsiness disappear did not come back.
