Successor Goddess of Death (Series 2)
175. Fish Porridge
Flashbacks
In the winter of 2005
He who was young at that time, only 7 years old was still very short and cute. Walking down a lonely road without a coat.
He was told to beg along the way there every Saturday and Sunday for the purposes of eating his orphanage.
He looked at the tin he was carrying, only pointing at a few dozen Yuan. His body trembled upon seeing that.
The result of begging her too little, the owner of the parlour would definitely give a punishment to her. Children must bring at least 20 Yuan to return home or they will not get food.
The shaking in her body started to become so when the snow started to fall, either out of fear of not getting food or because of the bone-chilling cold.
He walked over and asked the passers-by in full supplication. He took off his costume.
The costume was one of the most famous cartoon characters. Despite wearing that costume, his entire body was still very cold.
His head feels dizzy because it refrains from removing the head of a costume that is very heavy for children his age.
Until the end of his life he hugged the head of his costume and prepared to accept the punishment, because it was already night time not possible for him to beg again.
As he walked home, he saw a very famous fish porridge shop there. Every time he walked back, it must have been fragrant from the fish porridge would have entered his sense of smell.
Coincidentally her stomach was very hungry and she saw a rich-looking young lady not eating her porridge until it ran out and was intending to leave.
He just ran there and intended to ask for the rest of it.
"Excuse me, if you don't want that porridge anymore, can you give it to me? " Task slowly and fearfully.
"You want this porridge? " Tell the woman while raising an eyebrow.
"Yes, I want to eat it if you don't want it anymore, is it okay? " Task her with fear.
"In your dreams! Go, I don't like being too close to beggars like you! " The woman's voice quickly turned into a cruel one.
He was kicked back, he was holding his empty stomach and was sick because he was kicked by the woman quite strong.
From this morning he had eaten nothing, if he had not eaten again tonight then he would have to wait for tomorrow. He was afraid that he could not hold on so it crawled towards the woman.
"Please, I just want leftovers from you no need for new ones. " Say her with a pleading tone.
"You want leftovers from me? Are you worthy? " Task the girl arrogantly before stepping on her small back.
He was forced to lie on the ground with his strong, heeled shoes from the woman continuing to press on his chest and making his unable to breathe.
"Please, let me go. " Speak it with the breath broken off.
"Ck, killing someone like you would only ruin my expensive shoes. Go, I will not give my food to beggars like you. I better throw it away. " Say the woman with an evil smile.
He saw the woman throw the bowl on the ground, he shouted frantically, trying to reach the porridge.
"Don't! " He screamed with fear.
Pyarrr
The bowl hit the ground and the contents scattered everywhere, the woman added money to the tavern owner before kicking him back to get away.
"You covered my way! " Snap the woman.
His small body lying on the street could only resign, then realized that there was a speck of porridge falling onto his face.
He licked the porridge on his face and felt that it was the most delicious food in the world. He looked at the woman who was speeding away with her vehicle.
At that moment he realized, people would rather throw away their food than give it to the needy.
13 Years later
2018 Year
He sat pensively in front of the building for several hours and he realized that it was the most delicious fish porridge in the world , but unfortunately he couldn't enjoy it even when he had the money.
Flashback off
She sat pensively in her chair when she had finished taking her fish porridge, her eyes feeling wet when recalling those painful memories.
"What's going on? " Task Zhuge Yao in confusion.
"No, it's okay. It's just that, the fish porridge that Senior Zhuge made to remember me was made by someone. " Say her with a thin smile while gazing up at the sky sky to prevent her tears from falling.
"It turns out, if you stay here longer then I can make it more often if you want. " Said Zhuge Yao awkwardly.
Zhuge Yao had never comforted anyone in her lifetime, and she knew it. So he greatly appreciated Zhuge Yao's efforts even though it sounded awkward.
"It's okay, I'll leave soon after this. Sometimes, by making something rare, one can consider it valuable. I'm afraid it will lose value because it amounts to too much. " Take it with a sad smile.
He ate his food quickly and greedily.
"Aren't you going to tell me why you're here? Not many humans can enter this dimension. " Said Zhuge Yao.
"Ha ha, this is a long and boring story. I don't know if senior Zhuge intends to hear it or not. " Take it with a thin smile.
"No problem, I've been on my own for too long and no one ever wanted to tell me his problems in a long period of time. " Said Zhuge Yao.
"Huft, look. I used to be a mayor's daughter in a small dimension, I was an outcast princess. Then, I broke off father and son's relationship on her without realizing that I wasn't really her daughter. Then, I found a father and foster sister who were very good to me. They are like angels that Heaven sent me. " Say her.
"Then, I got into a well-known sect and became proud and won a match. At the time I was very happy, but I got a letter that my father was killed and my brother was in control. Once I get there, it's too late. My father was killed and my brother killed him. I killed her brother with one slash, not out of revenge. But, I'm afraid that he'll wake up and realize that he killed his own father. " Continue calmly, there was not the slightest ripple in his eyes.
"In that way, aren't you the one who bears all the guilt ?" Ask Zhuge Yao.
"I guess like that, I've been trained a long time. I could bear a much greater guilt than anyone else. Because of my anger, I killed all the residents there and froze them until they became ice sculptures. Long story short, I met my real father and my uncle. I took care of my old father. " He took a breath before continuing.
"When I had a birthday for the first time with my biological family, I felt very happy. But, suddenly an attack from the 3 great Clans came. We didn't get ready, I was hurt so badly and could only see my father explode. I stumbled Seok towards where he was just to see some piles of dust. I lay there without being able to move in the slightest for five months, I waited and waited. " She smiled, her smile widened as she told this.
"After that, I went to kill my escaping Sect disciple disciple and finally I came here to practice and avenge. I'll use a corpse to be my stepping stone. " Say her.
Zhuge Yao looked motionless after a while, he smiled faintly when he saw that.
"I just met someone like you for the first time. " Say Zhuge Yao with a complicated look.
"That's all just a small thing, compared to my other past. " Take it with a meaningful smile.
He would naturally not utter his memories of past lives, as there was nothing good for it.
It's all too hurt, even if he's the one who's used to it.
It would still feel like pulling his heart out forcibly, almost as much as taking his life.
He will have trouble breathing for some time, if he tells of his past. He knew that this was because he could not make peace with himself in the past.
It all seems easy, but he who has survived and tried to make peace with himself for several years still feels that it is not as easy as imagined.
"Senior Zhuge, I'm sorry that I can't accompany you again from tomorrow because I have to leave. I'll definitely come here later, you don't have to worry. Once my problems are over then I'll come back here if you don't mind. " Take it with a sweet smile.
"Of course you don't mind, you can go in and out here any way you want. As my master said, anyone who successfully passed the test could consider themselves the master of this place just like myself. So don't be too shy. " Said Zhuge Yao.
"Of course, I'm happy when I hear this. I was glad to hear that I still had a place to go. I'm happy when I still have someone who cares about me. Thank you Senior Zhuge. " Say it while looking down respectfully.
He actually deliberately lowered his head to cover his eyes that must have been flushed because of the moved. When he saw the Blue Ice Sect being destroyed, he had almost no hope and purpose anymore.
He thought that he did not have a place he would go to anymore and he would lose something called 'home'
"I'm also very happy to hear you're coming back here, I've been here too long and if you don't come here then maybe I'll rot in this place. " Say Zhuge Yao flatly.
She laughed forcefully to hold back the tears that were about to slide, for some reason when she changed bodies, her mind became more emotional.
Either because of her new innate body or because she had been harboring all of it for too long and was now out at once, she did not know her exact answer.
