Chapter 462
Since the day of engagement, the heavy and brooding life of the oldest kid of elder Yu began to shift into the best moments of his life. Under the layers of dark clouds in the sky, he seemed to find that everything was filled with hope.
He was still working tirelessly every day. Only when the little girl named Dong Er came to visit him, did he reveal his genuine happy smile.
He wanted to use both hands to create a beautiful future for his family; he wanted to use his shoulders to carry all the weight of this miserable world for his family.
Sometimes, before the world was completely enveloped by the darkness, he would climb up to the top of Chu Yunsheng’s pumpkin house with Dong Er and sit next to Chu Yunsheng. However, they would not have any conversations with Chu Yunsheng. They would just gaze at the hazy shimmer looming at the distant horizon, feeling the soft wind blowing towards their smiling faces…
The second kid of the Fang family had recovered his injury completely. He was a human that had awakened the fire elemental energy. The fire elemental energy was so obvious around him that Chu Yunsheng could feel it from very far away. However, never once had he attempted to talk to Chu Yunsheng. Every time when he looked at Chu Yunsheng, his eyes were filled with anxiousness and concerns. It seemed like he wanted to keep his distance away from Chu Yunsheng.
Chu Yunsheng knew why he was doing this. It was that bloodstained paper. Although to Chu Yunsheng, the things that were written on that piece of paper had many flaws, to that young man, it was the thing that he got by risking his life, and that thing was the only hope of this village.
Since he recovered from his injury, he has started to gather all the kids in the village and taught them all the knowledge that he had learned from the bloodstained paper. He hoped that he would be able to help those kids awaken their powers.
However, there was only one child who awakened his power in the entire village. He was the second son of elder Yang. That child had already become the disciple of the Fang family’s second kid. He was forced to practice the cultivation method non-stop all day every day by the Fang family’s second kid. Fortunately, he didn’t need to work. The village chief would always give one big share of food to him.
In front of him was not the noise wedding ceremony, it also wasn’t the bustling village scenes, it was dead silence, and the bodies of villagers were scattering all over the ground.
Through the dried rattans, the fire had already spread to the tops of many pumpkin houses. It caused many thick smokes to rise into the dark sky.
Stepping on the cold ground that had been covered with blood, Chu Yunsheng looked at the scattered bodies on the ground.
All the bodies had been cut into halves…
Raising his head, Chu Yunsheng noticed that the second kid of the Fang family was nailed onto a burning pumpkin house, facing the ground that was covered with many half bodies. His eyes were wide open and one of his hands was still grasping a piece of black coloured fabric tightly.
“Yao Xiang, is this really you?” Chu Yunsheng murmured. But he didn’t feel sad, he had experienced so many things, this would no longer affect emotions.
As he carried on walking, soon, he realized what happened. There was a body of an old man, who was supposed to be left behind in the village near the broken mountain. Perhaps, someone had gone back to pick up this old man. But the person didn’t realise that they had been followed.
Chu Yunsheng had already warned village chief Gao. But he still didn’t expect that they still couldn’t escape their fate.
Turning around, he walked towards the elder Yu’s house. There were a few tables that were made of dried roots outside of the elder Yu’s house.
Elder Yang’s head was on the table, but his body fell on the ground. His second kid, who he was proud of the most was split into halves from the middle.
Elder Yu’s head had already fallen to the ground, but his body was still trying to protect his fourth kid.
The fourth kid was a girl; she was wearing the clothes that Chu Yunsheng gave to her sister, holding the stuffed toy Chu Yunsheng made. However, there was a big hole in her chest.
Chu Yunsheng’s heart suddenly twitched. She was the first kid he saw when he woke up. He still clearly remembered her panicked and terrified expression.
“Yao Xiang, do you know she was just eight years old?” Chu Yunsheng sneered coldly and picked up the girl.
Taking out the newly made sword, Chu Yunsheng unleashed a round of sword Qi to make a hole on the ground. He then began to move all the bodies into the hole one by one…
When he moved the eldest kid of the Yu Family, his body twitched for a second. Then he began to open his eyes.
There was a sword wound in his stomach, however, probably because he had used the method that Chu Yunsheng had taught him, he had avoided the fatal injury. However, both of his legs had been cut off.
Looking at Chu Yunsheng, his eyes were first filled with confusion for a few seconds, then as if he suddenly remembered something, he began to use his both hands to crawl on the ground while shouting desperately, ” sis… ter… mom… da… d.. Dong… Er…”
He kept crawling on the ground, despite that he was bleeding. However, he was only able to find half of Dong Er’s body.
Holding half the body of Dong Er, the body of the eldest kid of the Yu Family was shaking violently. His lips were twitching and tears running down from his face. But he couldn’t make any sounds.
“If you want to cry, then cry it out loud. After crying, it won’t be that painful anymore.” Chu Yunsheng said to the kid.
‘Is the old me the same as him?…”‘
Soon, the sound of a kid shouting and crying hysterically appeared in the mushroom forest.
When the kid finally quietly down, Chu Yunsheng threw two things in front of him and said,
“Kid, there are two things in front of you, the toy and the broken sword. If you choose the toy, I’ll help you to end your suffering. If you choose the sword, I’ll heal you, but whatever the suffering you have in the future, you will need to bear it yourself. Now choose!”
The eyes of the kid were filled with burning hatred as if he wanted to lit up everything in this world on fire. He slowly reached his hand out to grab the bloodstained stuffed toy.
Chu Yunsheng closed his eyes, let out a long sigh, and raised the sword in his hand. However, just when he was about to hack down, he saw the kid reach his other hand to grab the broken sword…
…
The next day.
The entire village was burning brightly, sending a huge thick black smoke into the sky…
From the fire walked out two people, a kid and an old man; both of them were wearing a cloak, and carrying a sword on their backs.
At the moment they appeared, Chu Yunsheng’s voice also began to waft through the hot wind.
“From today, your name is Yu Hanwu. Yu is your family name. Hanwu means Cambrian. It is what started this…”
“Your master’s name is Chu Yunsheng, in the future, you will know more about him. I won’t ask too much from you. But there are two things you have to remember.”
“The first thing is: act with a clear conscience; the second thing is: you can kill, but don’t become someone who sinks and obtains pleasure and joy in killing. Otherwise, the first person you ruined will be yourself.”
