Rong Shiyin has always been close to his mother, but he also respects his father very much. In addition to being influenced by his mother, the image of his father in his heart has always been stalwart and bright.

But the current Rong Qiao has broken all his hopes for his father. It is the first time that he despises his father so much, and it is also the first time that he feels that his father is so cowardly.

Rong Qiao is not worthy of being a husband, nor is he worthy of being a father.He is not worth it for his mother.

That night, 12-year-old Rong Shiyin left Liquan Town alone with a small package and the statue of a red-feathered eagle left to him by his mother.

……

In front of the county yamen, the county magistrate smiled and bowed to send a young man into the carriage.Rong Shiyin saw the jade pendant around the man's waist from a distance, and recognized that man as the man who beat his mother to death that day.

With a quick glance, before he could fully see the other person's face, the man had already gotten into the carriage.

He hurriedly ran to the carriage, but the traffic on the street blocked him who was not tall and could not move, watching the carriage drive further and further away.

When he came to him, the county magistrate had already looked at the carriage going far away, and was about to turn around and enter.

Rong Shiyin hurriedly grabbed the county magistrate, knelt in front of him and said, "My lord, the man who just got into the carriage killed my mother, you should catch him quickly."

The county magistrate kicked him away in distaste, and said, "Where did this brat come from to make trouble at the county government office?"

A few police officers held Rong Shiyin back, he broke free from their shackles unwillingly, knelt down in front of the county magistrate, and said, "Really, my lord, it's him, I recognize the jade pendant on his waist."

"Do you know who he is? He is a nobleman from the capital. How many lives do you have if you dare arrange him?" The magistrate cast a disdainful glance at Rong Shiyin as a beggar on the street. Immediately, he ordered the guards to throw him out.

While tugging, the red-feathered eagle statue in Rong Shiyin's bag fell out.The county magistrate didn't know it, but thought it should be a rare object, so he picked it up and inspected it carefully.

Although he himself is very ignorant, he is very concerned about collecting.At this time, seeing the red-feathered eagle statue, I was very happy, and handed it to the servant behind him, and said to Rong Shiyin: "Today, the official reads that you are young and ignorant, and I will spare your life. If you make trouble everywhere, I will definitely not forgive you."

Rong Shiyin seemed to have realized some of the reasons in a daze, and knew that it was impossible for the county magistrate to help him recover his grievances.

But at that time, Rong Shiyin was still at the age when a newborn calf was not afraid of tigers and tigers, clamoring for the county magistrate to return his eagle statue.

Seeing that Rong Shiyin was so ignorant, the county magistrate was in no mood to continue the trouble with him.He just snorted coldly and ordered his subordinates to give him a good lesson.

……

When Rong Shiyin woke up again, he didn't know where he was, but felt as if he was put in some kind of bag, his body was in burning pain, and he didn't dare to move.

He made up his mind and struggled to break free from the bag, but found that the surroundings were pitch black, without any lights or people, only the owl's shrill cry could be heard from time to time.

Enduring the pain, he moved to the side, but touched a cold, stiff object with some mucus.He took a closer look, and what he saw was a head whose skin had begun to rot.

Rong Shiyin's face turned pale from fright in an instant, and he couldn't help shaking.He curled himself up and moved to the other side, but there was also a cold, stiff corpse next to him.

The young and thin boy yelled loudly, ignoring the pain in his body, and ran forward even rolling and crawling, but there were corpses all under his feet, some were as stiff and cold as stones, and some were still alive. The elasticity of human skin.

He didn't know how many corpses he stepped on, or how many corpses he fell on.He just remembered that night, he kept circling among the corpses, stepping on, tripping, touching, struggling.

It seemed that he couldn't get out no matter what, as if the whole world was a corpse, as if he was also a cold dead thing.

It turned out that after the county magistrate ordered his subordinates to teach Rong Shiyin a lesson, several police officers took Rong Shiyin to a remote place and gave him a good beating, but they didn't know how to do it properly. When they found out, Rong Shiyin was lying on the ground dying of breath.

Seeing this, they thought he would not live long.But he didn't take it seriously, just put a sack on it casually, and threw it on the mass grave under the cover of night.

Rong Shiyin didn't know how he climbed out of the mass grave, but when he woke up again, it was already the afternoon of the second day.

The moment he woke up, he seemed to understand things that he didn't understand before, such as good and evil, such as power, such as life and death.

Returning to Rong Shiyin in Xunan, he lived a completely different life from before, struggling for a chance in the darkest place.

In the beginning, Rong Shiyin lived in the dilapidated temple in front of the mass grave, a place that even beggars detest.

Every night, listening to the wind whimpering like a dying ghost outside the crumbling ruined temple, I huddled in a corner and waited for the dawn.He also risked his life for a bite of food.

Finally, later, Rong Shiyin also learned their survival rules.Enduring bullying, competing with beggars for food, ignoring benevolence and affection, living a life like an animal, eating the weak by the strong, all just to survive.Also for a better life in the future.

In such a dark living environment, Rong Shiyin encountered another glimmer of life.

That was when Rong Shiyin was 15 years old. He was working as an odd job in a tavern. That night, on his way home, because he was sick and didn't eat, he accidentally passed out.But when he woke up, he found that he was in the ruined temple where he used to live. A little beggar who was about his age was squatting beside him to take care of him.

That was the first time he met Wei'er, but it was only after a long time that he realized that Wei'er turned out to be Miss Wei'er.It was also after meeting Wei'er that Rong Shiyin's bleak life became a little more joyful.

Wei'er is one year younger than him, has a lively and pleasant personality, has a sweet mouth, and often laughs coquettishly.During those two years, Rong Shiyin really regarded Wei'er as his younger sister, and also his only relative.

Then one winter, when Wei'er had a high fever, Rong Shiyin went to the casino to buy medicine for Wei'er.But he was maliciously framed and poured alcohol and chili.In a situation where life is hanging by a thread.Wei'er agreed to the request of the owner of the wine shop surnamed Ma who has been harassing her, to be a concubine in his house, on the condition that she help him save Rong Shiyin.

Rong Shiyin lay in bed for many days, and when he woke up again, Wei'er was about to marry.He disagreed, saying that he would risk his life to save Wei'er, but Wei'er just said: "Brother Rong, this matter is not only for you, but also for myself."

Wei'er was carried away from the small room in the courtyard rented by Rong Shiyin. It was not until Wei'er left that Rong Shiyin realized that he always thought that he was protecting Wei'er, but in the end, it was because of him. , Wei Er stepped into the fire pit.

For the next two years, Rong Shiyin devoted himself to working and studying. He wanted fame, and only with fame could he protect the people he wanted to protect and not be bullied by others.

But in the autumn when he was 19 years old, Wei Er came to him with blood all over her body.

The owner of the wine shop that Wei'er married was a vicious one, and he relied on his wife to make a fortune. Marrying Wei'er home already touched the bottom line of the main house. The two of them beat Wei'er at every turn. scold.

And because of Wei'er's background, she often cursed badly.

Wei'er has been begging for life among beggars since she was a child, and she can accept these grievances, but occasionally she will cry secretly in the room by herself.

However, the day before yesterday, when Wei'er was alone at home, a few gangsters on the street climbed over the wall and sneaked into the backyard of Ma's house.Seeing her alone at home, she was born with evil spirits, insulting the girl whose life was not going well, and ruining her last life.

Rong Shi trembled all over, but Wei'er smiled slightly and said, "Brother, come pick me up from the wine shop tomorrow, and I will never go back. You must live well and live happily. Only brother When she is happy, Weier will feel that there is still hope in this world."

"Okay, brother will pick you up tomorrow, and brother will take you away." Rong Shiyin was so angry that his reason was burnt out, and he forgot to think about how Wei'er could leave so easily.

Early the next morning, Rong Shiyin went outside Ma's house, and when the door opened, he stepped forward and said, "Where's Wei'er?"

"Which one?" The servant was a little puzzled. After thinking for a while, he seemed to remember, "Aunt Wei, you mean, she committed suicide by taking poison last night, and she was carried out before dawn."

"What?" Rong Shiyin took two steps back unsteadily, stepped forward and grabbed the servant's collar, and asked with red eyes, "Where is the burial?"

Seeing Rong Shiyin's appearance, the servant couldn't bear it. He looked around and whispered, "Where can I be buried? Mrs. Ma's funeral is just a matter of rolling up the mat and throwing it in a mass grave. What a pity." girl."

Rong Shiyin ran unsteadily to the mass grave. When he was a child, he thought the place was vast and boundless, but it was just a small pit with some corpses lying here and there.Some were covered with mats, and some were left naked.

Rong Shiyin stumbled to find Wei'er, hugged her pitifully, his eyes were bloodshot, big tears fell on Wei'er's livid face, and said, "I'm sorry, brother was wrong, brother was late."

Later, Rong Shiyin buried Wei'er at the edge of the canyon on Hell Mountain, where he and Wei'er often went to pick wild vegetables.

Hell Mountain, which everyone fears, has supported Rong Shiyin and Wei Er for many years.However, the warm human light that everyone yearns for has ruined Rong Shiyin's hope time and time again.

Rong Shiyin used tricks to lure the gangsters who abused Wei'er to the edge of the canyon of Hell Mountain, leading them to eat meat and drink, and when they were so drunk that everyone began to call each other brothers, Rong Shiyin took them one by one. They were all pushed off the cliff.

One of the men, who was not yet fully drunk, knelt in front of Rong Shiyin and begged him not to kill him.Rong Shiyin said, "But what about when she begged you not to hurt her?"

After finishing speaking, before the man could react, he kicked him down, the strike was decisive and crisp, as if he didn't know that what he kicked was a fresh life.

Rong Shiyin looked at the empty mountain forest, his eyes were full of green trees, as if no living thing had ever appeared in his sight.

But the lingering scream that echoed in the canyon seemed to be reminding that what had just gained foothold here was a creature called a human, not a ferocious beast in the forest.

……

"This is all my past. It's terribly dirty, and it's beyond your imagination." Rong Shiyin sat on a rock.

"Where's Wei'er's tomb?" Lu Fanan didn't answer Rong Shiyin's words, but just asked to himself.

"Tree." Rong Shiyin pointed to a sycamore tree in front of him and said, "I buried Wei'er under the tree. I hope that if she has an afterlife, she must live like a tree, tough and free. , Infinite vitality."

Lu Fan'an walked up to Wei'er's tomb, seeming to be gazing, but also talking.After a long time, he turned around and looked at Rong Shiyin, but he just watched quietly without saying a word.

Rong Shiyin also looked at Lu Fanan. At this moment, he was suddenly a little scared. He was afraid that Lu Fanan would be afraid of him, and he was also afraid that Lu Fanan would pity him.

He wants neither fear nor pity.
