I became the leopard cub of the paranoid emperor

Chu Yuzhao asked: "Have you and your mother always lived in that small village in Manzhou?"

Luo Bai tilted his head and recalled: "Yes, I seem to have lived in the village all the time, I don't remember clearly, because I have a bad mind, and the children in the village call me a fool, sometimes Luo fool. "

When Luo Bai said this sentence, he was very calm, and he didn't look uncomfortable or wronged, as if he was talking about a very normal thing, and he also admitted that he was a fool.

Chu Yuzhao looked at his row of drooping long eyelashes with complicated eyes.

"Those kids beat people much more painfully than their mothers. They knew how to use sticks, and threw dirt and stones. My mother beat me with a rattan cane. I wore a padded jacket in winter, and it didn't hurt at all."

"Why did they beat you?" Chu Yuzhao asked in a low voice.

Luo Bai thought for a while and said: "I don't know, I avoid them anyway, the dates and apricots in the village are all picked after they have picked them, and I will pick the rest, but when they see them, they will still pick them." I."

"Didn't you tell your mother?"

Luo Bai opened his mouth, his eyes were a little blank, he nodded his head twice, then shook his head, as if he was struggling to think of an answer.Then he said: "I was beaten and cried once. After returning home, my mother saw me crying and beat me up again. Then she locked herself in the room and didn't come out for a whole day."

He explained to Chu Yuzhao seriously: "I'm afraid that after I sue, my mother will be more sad than me, so I won't tell her, and I will not cry."

The sunlight fell on the bottom of his eyes, as if a handful of gold had been sprinkled in the clearest stream.Chu Yuzhao lowered his head so that people could not see the expression on his face, but a few strands of black hair hanging down beside his pale cheeks added a bit of gloom to him at this moment.

Luo Bai wanted to say that he was not afraid of those children at all, he could turn into a leopard and beat them on the ground, but his mother forbade him to turn into a leopard, beat people, or tell the story of turning into a leopard, so he endured He stayed silent.

"But then those kids didn't hit me anymore, they ran away when they saw me." Luo Bai was a little complacent when he said this, "Because since then, they only need to hit me once, and every family's chickens and geese will die at night. It’s like this every time, so when you see me, you hide, and you only dare to secretly call me a disaster star, ha, I am a disaster star, I’m so powerful, hahaha..."

Luo Bai thought it was very funny, but found that Chu Yuzhao was only looking at him, but didn't laugh with him, and closed his mouth embarrassingly.

"My mother is actually very good, just don't mess with her when she is locked in the house." Luo Bai stretched his hand back with lingering fear, to touch the butt that was often whipped by the cane.

"Every time after she beat me up, she thought I was asleep and would come to see my butt at night. In fact, it didn't hurt at all, and there was no mark. I still hummed on purpose, and the next day my mother would cook it for me of……"

Chu Yuzhao listened to his narration, and that night a few years ago appeared in his mind...

Amidst lightning and thunder, pouring rain enveloped the entire palace, and a crumbling candle was still burning in a side hall deep in the garden.But the candlelight only made the empty palace look more old and deserted in such a late night.

13-year-old Chu Yuzhao was lying in a cold bed, not sleeping soundly.

The quilt on his body was too thin, and the bed board was too hard, making him look for a warm place in his dreams.But the pain had just occurred once, and his body was in fatigue, even though he was shivering from the cold, he still didn't wake up.

"Zhao'er, the queen mother is going to add a younger brother or sister to you, do you like it?"

A gentle and loving female voice rang in my ears.

"Queen, I like it. I really want to have a younger brother or younger sister."

"Then Zhao'er will take good care of her siblings?"

"Mother who will, Zhao'er will definitely."

……

The conversation suddenly disappeared, and Chu Yuzhao stepped into a darkness where he couldn't see his fingers. He was instantly gripped by a familiar fear, as if he had returned to that day and that scene again.

He was trapped in the darkness and couldn't move, only heard the muffled sound of the wooden box being kicked up and down.The sound was not loud, but every blow was like a heavy hammer hitting his chest, breaking his heart and liver, and turning his flesh into pulp.

Yu Ce, Yu Ce is good, don't struggle, brother is good...

Chu Yuzhao turned his head uneasily in his sleep, a broken sob came out of his throat, a line of tears overflowed from the corner of his eyes, and slid coldly into the depths of his temples.

"Mother... mother... save... save brother... mother..."

Overwhelming despair and anger hit Chu Yuzhao, dragging him out of the quagmire of nightmares, he suddenly opened his eyes, stared directly at the old gray gauze above his head, and panted heavily as if dying.

The window facing the big bed was not closed, the window screen was blown by the wind and rain, and the candle in the lampshade flickered on and off, struggling not to go out.

After a while, under the eyelashes wet with tears, the eyes finally regained a little light, but when they looked out of the gauze curtain, their vision froze again, and even the heavy breathing disappeared.

Through a layer of hazy tulle, he saw a person standing in front of the bed. Although he couldn't make out his face, he knew that this person was staring at him.

The figure of this person was outlined by the candlelight, and Chu Yuzhao saw the hairpin inserted horizontally behind his head and the wide skirt.He hadn't fully awakened from the dream just now, he only let out a murmured voice under shock: "Mother..."

The woman stood outside the tent without moving, but Chu Yuzhao stopped talking because he had already seen his chest.

——There hung a long sword protruding from outside the tent, and the sharp edge was aimed at the heart.

When Chu Yuzhao said mother, the sword edge on his chest trembled imperceptibly, and then the gauze curtain was lifted by a hand, and the person standing outside the tent was a person Chu Yuzhao had never seen before. Strange woman.

The woman was about thirty years old, dressed as a married woman, and her eyes were so cold that people would overlook her good looks.

Although Chu Yuzhao is young, the things he has experienced have made him calm and alert beyond his age.

Facing the long sword pressed against his chest, his first reaction was that this woman was a killer sent by others.But immediately felt that something was wrong, all the killers he had seen would cover their faces and strike fiercely, they would not be like this woman, who would remain silent for a long time without moving.

He suppressed the instinctive fear of death in his heart, and stabilized his slightly trembling voice: "Who are you? Who sent you to kill me?"

The woman just looked at him without saying a word, her expression was very complicated, as if she was a mixture of various emotions, but she didn't retract the long sword in her hand.

Chu Yuzhao saw that she was hesitating in her heart, so he watched her expression with bated breath.

There were not many servants in this side hall, and it was such a windy and rainy night, they couldn't hear any movement.I can only try not to irritate her, and see if there is room for maneuver.

After a moment of silence, the expression on the woman's face changed, but she seemed to have figured something out, and a fierce look suddenly appeared in her eyes.

Chu Yuzhao's heart skipped a beat, knowing that it was time to do something, he hurriedly said again: "Don't kill me, if I can live to be an adult, I will thank you very much in the future."

Although he was still young, with the sword pressed against his chest at this time, he was in an embarrassing situation, but when he said these words, he was sonorous and forceful, with a resounding sound, faintly revealing the demeanor of a king who said nothing.

After the woman heard this, she sneered and spoke for the first time tonight.

"Thank me again? How are you going to thank me again? You took away my most precious thing, how can you thank me again?"

Her voice was not loud, but there was anger in her words, every word seemed to be squeezed out between her teeth.

Chu Yuzhao did not know this woman at all, but seeing that her expression and tone did not seem to be fake, he tried his best to search for related information in his memory.

But after much deliberation, my mind was always blank.

Seeing this, the woman's expression became even more angry, and she moved the long sword forward another half an inch, and the cold blade almost pierced the skin.

"Can't remember? Then let me remind you." The woman's eyes were cold, and she slowly uttered two words, "Yuzhou."

After Chu Yuzhao heard the word "湥洲", his mind suddenly became excited.

After going through that terrible period, when he woke up again, he found himself in a strange place. He asked a passerby and found out that the place was called Wuzhou.

And from the day of his accident, almost half a year has passed.

But he couldn't recall the experience of those six months, as if the memory had been wiped from his mind, all he could remember was the scene when the wooden box was opened...

I don't remember anything after that.

He also tried hard to recall, but there were only some extremely blurred fragments, as if he couldn't see clearly through a layer of deep water.Certain conversations and people will flash through my mind, but for a moment, I can't catch it anyway.

"Yuzhou? I met you in Wuzhou? Do you know me?" Chu Yuzhao asked eagerly, ignoring the long sword in front of him.

No one likes to have a blank memory, and he really wants to know what happened during that time.

The author has something to say:

Before V, the number of words should be updated according to the list, so each chapter will be less. After V, there is no list requirement, so you can add more.
