One Piece I Am White Impermanence

Chapter 60
This day Ye Ming finished his training early, and wanted to go to Xiao Leng to have a good chat with him.

When others treat me sincerely, I naturally have to treat others sincerely.

Xiao Leng was naturally ignorant of all this, and still practiced swinging his sword at the air on his own.

Even if it is sweating profusely, it will not stop for a moment.

"It's useless for you to practice like this. You are practicing swordsmanship in the sword hall in the town. Someone should have taught you. Compared with your companions, your progress should be much smaller than that of your companions?"

Ye Ming stood under the tree and spoke.

"Ah I…"

Xiao Leng was shocked by Ye Ming's sudden words, wanted to say something but didn't know how to say it.

Ye Ming walked to the tree not far away and wanted Xiao Leng to wave for him to go and sit down.

Xiao Leng hesitated and walked to Ye Ming's side and sat down.

"Your swordsmanship teacher should have told you the correct way to swing a sword, but you will often make mistakes. It is normal if you are a beginner, but judging by the calluses on your hands, I am afraid that you have been practicing swordsmanship for a long time. Bar?"

Ye Ming glanced at Xiao Leng's hands and said.

"That's right, I started practicing swordsmanship when I was very young, but my current level of swordsmanship is far behind those of my companions who are practicing swordsmanship together."

Xiao Leng nodded and said.

He didn't show too much expression because of Ye Ming's words, as if...he was already prepared for this matter.

"Since this is the case, why do you still practice swordsmanship like this? You have clearly shown that you have no talent for swordsmanship. Why don't you try other ones. According to your hard work, if it is physical arts, there will be no problem. "

Ye Ming was a little puzzled.

Could it be that Xiao Leng has some paranoia about swordsmanship, that's why he practiced so hard even though he knew he didn't have the talent for swordsmanship?

"Actually...forget it, let me tell you a story."

Xiao Leng paused and said, with a weird smile on his face.

It was as if the smiling face was a mask put on his face instead of his real face.

Ye Ming endured the doubts in his heart and prepared to listen to Xiao Leng's story.

"This island is where I was born. My father was a pirate. He burned, killed, looted and committed all kinds of crimes. In the end, he was defeated in the battle with the navy. The pirate ship was directly smashed, and the crew either died or were captured. Only he was seriously injured but survived."

"He ran away desperately until he came to this island and met my mother."

"My mother is a very gentle and kind woman. Everyone thought she would find a good home, but she met my father."

"My father immediately took a fancy to my mother and insisted on marrying her. My mother didn't want to marry him, and my mother's family didn't agree with it, but he was a pirate after all, so... "

Ye Ming remained silent.

As a pirate who has lived in the sea for such a long time, he naturally understood Xiao Leng's words.

Those pirates, if you can't get it, you will grab it, and if you can't grab it, you will destroy it.

"My father finally got his wish and married my mother, and soon they had me. But my father slowly became addicted to gambling, did not make money, and did not manage the house. My mother relied on the work she could barely do. I was born with subsidies from neighbors."

"My father still likes me very much. When I was young, he would always be with me, but maybe it was because of the temporary novelty. Slowly, he returned to his original appearance."

"He doesn't care about the family's situation, he will come back to get the money if he needs it. The so-called home is just a house. When he needs it, he will come back to live in it. When he doesn't need it, he will let us fend for ourselves."

Xiao Leng paused for a moment with red eyes and continued.
"Even so, my mother often told me not to hate him, he was my father after all, everyone has flaws..."

"I obediently agreed to her. At that time, I didn't understand what he was doing, and I still thought about going out to play every day..."

"But none of them want to play with me. They say my father is a pirate who does all kinds of evil, so they won't let me play with them."

"I was very sad. I ran back and asked my mother. I asked her what a pirate is? Is my father that kind of person?"

"But she just smiled and told me that whether it is a pirate or a normal person, he is your father anyway. She told me to make me smile. She said that a smile will bring people a good mood, and everything will be in a good mood. It's all going to get better."

"I listened to her words, no matter when, whoever, what happened, I will face it with a smile until that day comes."

Xiao Leng still had that smiling face on his face, but the more he looked at this smiling face, the more sad he felt.

"I remember that day very clearly. It was a night. I went out to play alone until it was dark before I came home. When I got home, I saw my mother curled up in a corner, with sweat dripping from her forehead, and the chopping board was covered with tears. There are unfinished vegetables."

"I was at a loss and went out to find my father. I knew there were only a few places where he would be. I also wanted to take her directly to the hospital, but I didn't have the money or the ability to send her to the hospital. I had to Pin your hopes on him."

"I got him back, and he looked at my mother curled up there and asked how she was, and my mother said she was going to the hospital, and then he sent my mother to the hospital."

"All of this was quite normal, but his eyes were indifferent. I remember very clearly that there was no wave in his eyes, as if he was looking at a stranger."

Ye Ming immediately understood.

Xiao Leng's father sent someone to the hospital not because this person was his wife or Xiao Leng's mother, but because she could bring him money and make him gamble and drink.

That's it.

"A week later, my mother was discharged from the hospital. During this period, I have not been able to visit my mother. She refused to let me see her. I can only wait at home."

"I didn't feel relieved until she came home."

"The neighbors told me that my mother can only drink porridge and can't eat anything else. Her illness is in the stomach. Then they told me how to make my mother take medicine and the order of taking each medicine. I recorded all this in the in my heart."

"I remember that when I was seven years old, he went out early in the morning on the second day my mother came back, to gamble, drink, and brag about his glory in the past with his drinking buddies."

"I got up early in the morning to make porridge for my mother, and then watched my mother take medicine. At this time, I no longer had any feelings for that so-called father."

"But our luck was not bad at all. It happened to be snowing heavily in those few days, and we didn't have anything to keep warm at home. He was even unwilling to show his face during this period of time. I couldn't even see him."

"I could only curl up with my mother, wrapped in several layers of quilts, and I kept talking to my mother, because I felt her body was getting colder and her face was getting whiter."

"She talked to me a lot that day. She told me not to cry. She knew that I like swordsmanship. Although I don't have any talent in this area, she still supported me."

"She told me to work hard. She waited for the day when I became famous in the sea. She also said that she would take me to the sea to catch fish to eat when she recovered from her illness. She cooked my favorite fish for me by herself. She also said She wants to take me to other islands to see their lives, she also said..."

"She told me not to hate him. What he failed to give me, my mother can give me..."

"But she lied to me, she couldn't wake up again, she couldn't accompany me to the sea, she couldn't make fish for me, she couldn't..."

Xiao Leng was already crying, and it might not be easy to have a chance to speak out what was in his heart.

"Later I moved out, left that place, and came to live, practice and work in the sword gym. He often came to me for money, and I could only give him the money. I really hated him! Later I heard that he He was beaten to death on the street because he couldn’t repay the money he owed from gambling.”

"When I heard the news, I felt free at first, and then I was at a loss."

Xiao Leng raised his head, the hollow look in his eyes made Ye Ming tremble.

"I... don't know if I should continue to live. They are all dead, and I have no friends, and no relatives around me. I feel that I have been separated from this world..."

Ye Ming's heart tightened.

Think about it differently, there are billions of people in the world who don’t know you, you have no relatives, friends, classmates, parents, and you are left alone. At this time, you still want to continue in this world Will you survive?

To live is to have a thought, whether it is a dream or a family relationship, these things that can make you feel good about this world can support you to live in this world. If you don’t even have a thought, a person is a dead person up.

　It should not be updated today, but I thought about updating it before, so I will update it today. At the same time, I deeply mourn the martyrs who died and the compatriots who died due to the epidemic.

　　There will be five updates tomorrow, I hope everyone understands.
