Chapter 5 Cruelty
A faint fluorescent light shone through the simple and rough crack in the door and shone into the cottage. The room was dark and very quiet, without any sound. Ren Yu carefully pushed open the wooden door, and the two of them tiptoed into the room. Ren Yu looked at Ji Yun and pointed at the kettle on the table in front, and immediately walked to a desk. He gently picked up the knife on the desk and cut the dog meat into small pieces and put it into a broken bowl. After cutting the meat, he lit the candle and the house suddenly became brighter.
Ren Yu walked towards the bed on the right side of the cottage with a bowl, and Ji Yun also followed quietly with a cup of water. "Father, it's dark, it's time to eat." Ren Yu called in a low voice. A strong middle-aged man was lying on the bed, with an ordinary appearance, pale face, and a slightly thick lips were tightly closed, without any reaction. "Father, father..." Ren Yu called out several times, and the man woke up slowly. When he saw his father opening his hazy eyes, Ren Yu moved his body to the side. Ji Yun behind him immediately walked forward, handed the cup in his hand to Ren Yu, and took the broken bowl of meat. The middle-aged man finally looked a little awake, and Ren Yu's petite arm held the man's neck and raised his head. The cup in his hand was delivered to the man's mouth, and the man drank all the water in the cup in one breath.
The man seemed to have some strength at this time and slowly sat upright. Ren Yu quickly put the pillow under the man's back. The man leaned on the pillow and was completely awake. His white and yellow eyes looked deeply at the thin boy who was only eight years old in front of him, sighed deeply, and said, "Yu'er, I'm really sorry for you for your father over the years!" The turbid eyes were filled with mist, but for the necessary strength of being a man and a father, the heavy tears did not fall down. "Father, don't always say these things. I'm already grown up now. When I grow up a little longer, I will work hard to make money, just like Old Man Jace, to open a tavern on the bustling street. Let you live in a big house, wear brocade clothes, eat good beef and drink the best wine." Ren Yu's little hand patted his chest and said confidently.
When the man heard Ren Yu's words, he suddenly became violent. "It's all me, it's all me who hurt you! It's been eight years since you were three years old. I have never stood up and often fell into a deep coma. I have never cared about you, and I have to be the lowest and least self-esteem beggar, and I am always beaten by those damn beggars. Even so, Yu'er, you shouldn't have such cowardly thoughts and ideals! You should be a dragon flying above the sky!" The man looked sad and roared with rough hands.
"Father! Father, do you have a headache again? Eat meat first, lie down after eating, I'll go find Dr. Reser." Ren Yu hurriedly put down the cup, took the bowls and chopsticks handed over by Ji Yun, picked up a piece of meat, and gave it to the man's mouth. The man raised his head slightly, looked at the burnt and tender piece of meat, and his eyes suddenly turned into madness and firmness. "Yu'er, you are eight years old this year, it's not too late. My father will stand up tomorrow. I want to teach you what you should need. Your future is not a wealthy businessman, but a master! The master of the whole world!" The man suddenly straightened up, shouted with all his strength, and then immediately fell straight on the bed. The roar seemed to have used all his strength.
"Father, stop talking. You can stand up after having enough food. You can have the energy to stand up first." Ren Yu said hurriedly. He used chopsticks to hold the meat piece and gently put it into the man's mouth. He ignored what his father said, because his father used to say this when he was awake, but he always fell into a coma before he finished speaking. Over time, Ren Yu did not care about what his father was saying, but was only worried about his father's body, and now it is the same.
After a while, the meat piece in the broken bowl was finally eaten by the man. "Yu'er, I'm fine. You don't have to call that useless Leither. He will only come to cheat some of the copper coins you and Ji Yun begged for. Also, don't come back at noon tomorrow. My father has something to do at home. I'll give you a surprise the day after tomorrow and let you leapt with dragons and jumps at nine heavens." The man roared madly and excitedly."
Ren Yu didn't notice what his father was saying at this time. He just looked at the weak father in front of him and lowered his head and thought: In order to beg again, he would never let his father starve to death. He decided to kill Rujid tomorrow. While Ren Yu was thinking about how to kill Rujid, he heard what his father said vaguely, and said "um" and didn't hear anything in his ears. Maybe when he heard these words at this time, what kind of picture will be like in the future?
The "artificial sun" in the sky slowly began to release the soft white light. Like the sun once, it illuminated the entire city bit by bit. The crowds on the street gradually increased, and a carriage was speeding forward. "Young Master, the hunting team of the Tanda Chamber of Commerce is back today. The hidden cat beast you want must have been caught for you, and Miss Beth will definitely like it." A coachman dressed as a servant in the carriage said to the people in the carriage. "Haha! Of course, I knew that Beth wanted the hidden cat beast. This time I gave her a big surprise. Beth must have been hugged." The person in the carriage said arrogantly.
"That's it! Don't look at who our young master is!" the coachman said proudly. "Isn't it! Stop flattering, hurry up! I'm a little unwaiting to wait for Beth's sweet lips. Haha!" The impatient voice came out of the carriage. "Drive! If you don't want to die, get out of here!" The coachman whipped the horse's back hard. He rushed on the street, and passers-by hurriedly made way. Fortunately, it's early morning and there are not many people on the street, otherwise there will definitely be many innocent people at this time. "Young master, wait for us!" The four guards with swords behind rushed to the back and shouted. But the carriage that went away did not hear it at all, and even if they heard it, they would not pay attention to these "slow" guards.
In a small alley on the street, a group of children were carrying stones. The stones had been built into two-foot-high stone steps, running through the left and right of the alley. "Brother Yu, will that guy Rujid pass by here?" Fink put down the stone in his hand and asked Ren Yu with a curious look on his face. "Yes, this is a shortcut to the Tanda Chamber of Commerce. Rujid will definitely choose to pass by here." Ren Yu, who was beside him, patted the dust on his hands and said confidently.
Fink walked towards Ren Yu and said with a heavy face, "Brother Yu, even if his carriage fell into pieces here, we can't kill him. He has a guard!" At this time, Ren Yu said with disdain, "Can anyone run through the carriage? We should be faster, we must kill him before his guard arrives, and then escape here quickly." Ren Yu, who had been begging on the streets where people came and went, had a clever mind that other children did not have.
"This is just the corner of the street and the alley. The coachman of Rujid couldn't see the stone steps we built. If we had good luck enough, we might not have to take action at all, and Rujid would just fall to death." Ren Yu explained calmly to the many puzzled children around him.
"Go!" A voice came from afar. Then the anxious sound of horse hooves was getting closer and closer. "Quick, hide in the corner!" Ren Yu shouted hurriedly. The children also hurriedly put down the stones in their hands and ran into the stairs that could only pass through one adult at a time. Ren Yu and Ji Yun stood in front of the stairs, waiting for the "prey" to appear. Ji Yun held the sharp knife on the chopping board at home in his hand and pressed tightly against Ren Yu's back. The iron rod in Ren Yu's hand was also held tightly by him, waiting for that moment. It took only eight or nine breaths to turn the carriage from the street into the alley to reach here, but it seemed that a year had passed in Ren Yu's heart.
Finally, a scream of "Ah!" suddenly, the neighing sound of horses mixed with "crackling" suddenly echoed in the remote alley! "Go out quickly! Kill this bastard Rujid!" Ji Yun took a sharp knife and rushed around Ren Yu, and Ren Yu rushed out first. Ren Yu hurriedly followed him. When the two rushed out of the corridor, they saw a mess in the alley, and a fierce horse with blood flowing without a trace of breath fell to the ground without moving. The driver was lying farther away than the fierce horse, with a pool of blood under his head, and they were also motionless. Both died instantly. The broken wooden boards and debris of the car body fell around, and several wide wooden boards were pressed on the wheels and piled up in the center of the alley.
There was no Rujid around. Ren Yu held the iron rod tightly in his hand and walked towards the wheel of the carriage. Under the wheel, the most likely place where Rujid fell, Ji Yun hurried over and said, "Brother Yu, is Rujid dead?" "I don't know, I hope he fell to death. Otherwise, we might not have killed him. He is a first-level rank after all." Ren Yu carefully picked up a wooden board with an iron rod and said. At this time, several wooden boards on the ground suddenly burst out into the surroundings. The strong force on the wooden board directly impacted Ren Yu and Ji Yun ten feet away. The two thin bodies, after gliding in the air for a while, suddenly fell on both sides of the alley.
Ren Yu wiped a trace of blood on the corner of his mouth, and saw a figure emitting a messy head, standing up from the broken wooden board. The figure shook his head vigorously, trying to wake him up. The blond hair that flew away revealed a pale and sick face. This face was the "prey" of Ren Yu and the other two - Rujid. Rujid stared at Ren Yu and Ji Yun with a vengeful gaze. "You did the little bastard!" said the extremely cold voice with a strong murderous intent. Ren Yu and Ji Yun slowly climbed up from the ground, and blood was flowing from Ji Yun's cheeks, and a blood mark was deeply cut by the wood chips on his face.
