The two children continued to live in such an environment. They thought their father would come back soon, but after a year or two, the two brothers forgot about this.

Five years later, the two brothers grew up a little and understood more. Due to daily work, the physical condition of the two children is much better than that of most children.

On that day, the two of them heard their grandmother's dispatch to buy meat. They saw a girl of the same age as them stealing meat at the meat stall. The boss couldn't leave, so the two children helped chase after her.

When they chased a restaurant, the little girl walked in directly. The two brothers Li Huo and Mu Lian thought that the little girl had no way to escape now, so the little girl bit her back and told everyone in the hotel that the two children were thieves. The little girl snatched the meat just to return it to the butcher shop owner. The two boys just to catch the little girl and snatch the meat they stolen.

Li Huo and Mu Lian were also indecisive. After all, the little girl had already taken action first, and everyone didn't believe it if the two boys were explaining.

On the contrary, because the two children kept quibbling, the adults were scolded and beaten.

The two of them were also indescribable. When they returned home, their grandmother saw the two brothers' appearances and asked.

The two brothers felt very wronged and told their grandmother truthfully what happened. However, not only did their grandmother not comfort the two brothers, nor did they go to talk to the little girl for their conscience, but instead beat and scolded the two brothers hard because they were beaten so hard that they could not work.

Not to mention how uncomfortable the two brothers were, they lay in bed in the middle of the night, and they were still looking at the ceiling like they did when they were young. However, after so long, they would not cry anymore, and there were many more minus one on their faces. After so long, they became much more mature.

"Brother, I understand that if we want people to be respectful, we can only rely on ourselves to become stronger. If we don't become stronger, no one will recognize us and respect us." Li Huo, who has always been more mature, suddenly turned his head after a long time of silence and said to his younger brother Mu Lian very seriously. This kind of words are completely different from what a child of this age can say.

"But how can we become stronger?" Brother Mu Lian stared at Li Huo with a comprehension, and asked curiously.

"If you want to become stronger, the first part is to learn how to endure pain." Li Huo thought for a moment and spoke thoughtfully, as if he had already thought of the answer. It seemed that Li Huo had already prepared.

"Yeah." Mu Lian nodded heavily. His brother Li Huo has been taking good care of him for so long, and Mu Lian also listened to his brother very much.

I believe Mu Lian would not have thought that what his brother said about learning to endure pain is to let the two children attack each other and let the other suffer all their flesh and blood. Only in this way can the two learn to grow up in suffering.

Mu Lian listened to Li Huo's words just now and had no objection, so he obeyed.

So the two brothers attacked each other every day, and even hit each other until they fainted and were covered in blood. Brother Li Huo even felt that this was not enough.

At the beginning, both of them had some spare energy and would not use all their strength to hit each other. After all, they were their own brothers. Those who were beaten would yell because of the pain. Gradually, the two of them would not have spare energy. Both parties could hold back the pain and stop crying or even feel the pain.

Therefore, they are no longer afraid of their grandmother. Every time their grandmother wanted to beat two brothers, they were scared to the point of being unable to stand it. Now they are not afraid of being beaten, and they dare to argue with their grandmother.

Mu Lian found that his brother was right, and this would indeed make the two brothers stronger, and both physical and mentally matured.

"The first part of becoming stronger has been completed, and the second part will be changed to." That night, Li Huo and Mu Lian were still lying on the bed and started talking again.

"What is the second step?" Mu Lian looked at Li Huo over and asked curiously. For him, what his brother said was right and wrong, and she only listened to what his brother Li Huo said.

"The second step is to endure and learn to endure hunger, so that we will not be threatened by our stomachs, just like my grandmother used food to threaten us to work." This time Li Huo answered quickly, no longer having to think about it for a while like last time. It seemed that everything had been put in my mind.

"Okay." Mu Lian nodded and replied.

Grandma secretly heard all this outside the door, shook her head helplessly, and left.

After all, which grandmother would hate her nephew? After all, she was just for the sake of these two children. In addition, she was not good at expressing feelings, but unfortunately neither of them understood it.

The next day, the two children really went on a hunger strike. Even if my grandmother deliberately chewed chicken legs in front of the two children, the two children could resist the temptation and remain indifferent, even if they were all hungry and almost exhausted.

To my grandmother's expectations, I thought that even if these two children were determined to endure, they would not be able to endure it for too long, but they did not eat for three days and three nights.

On the third night, the two children finally had some food. Grandma finally breathed a sigh of relief. She was really afraid of starving them before. Now it seems that the second step of their strength has ended. I hope the third step will not be too cruel.

In the evening, the two brothers discussed again, but Li Huo was confused this time and didn't know how to continue to become stronger. After all, he was still too small and didn't know much, so he answered to take one step at a time.

Mu Lian nodded as well, and still agreed, without any complaints at all, the two brothers fell asleep.

About a few months later, Mu Yu returned from the battlefield. It was probably ten years after he left his hometown.

The two brothers have no feelings for him. After all, they have been in contact for so long, so they are no different from strangers.

At the dinner table, the scene was very awkward. Not to mention the whole family, they didn't seem to know each other. They were very stiff and there was nothing to say at all.

At night, Li Huo thought of what the third part was, that was to let go of his feelings and cut off his own way of retreat, and there was to kill his father.
