Chapter 4 The First Saber Swung Towards the Pretentious
Chapter 4 The First Saber Swung Towards the Pretentious
A person's life is destined to face many temptations, childhood sweets, fame and fortune after growing up. Temptation sometimes means sweetness, but most of the time it contains evil intentions. Gu Tianyou had heard people say that people would die for the sake of food. To truly understand this sentence intuitively, one had to pay the price of blood to comprehend it.
In the messy little warehouse, there were bags of grain scattered everywhere. The gray bags were stained with splashing blood.
In the room, the little boy's clothes were torn into strips and his trousers were taken off. Standing there, he seemed to be on the verge of collapse, but his body was still as straight as a javelin. Fresh blood flowed down from Tianyou's forehead, blocking his line of sight, and his eyes were bloodshot. Even though his arms were twisted and deformed, his clenched fists were still clenching his toothbrush handle tightly. The sharpened snow-white toothbrush had been dyed red with fresh blood.
Beneath his feet lay an adult, curled up in pain. Although his consciousness was blurry, he was still struggling to the death. Blood continuously sprayed out from the large arteries that had been cut off from his neck…
This is a malignant case where the truth is buried. Prison reports show that Ba Shuguang, a Mianyang resident, accidentally fell while working in the kitchen on a certain day of a year, accidentally scratched the carotid artery, lost too much blood, and died.
Prisoners attempted to rape young children in prison, but were accidentally stabbed to death by them. Once such a case was made public, it would be enough for Liu Heilian to retire early with He Weiran . Of course, the prison wasn't willing to take responsibility for the negligence of management. In terms of prison management, the appearance of Gu Tianyou, a child who didn't even have a household registration, was a huge problem in itself. Not to mention that Death Ghost Ba Shuguang was planning to do something that deserved to be done to Heaven's Blessing before he died.
The prison authorities were busy concealing the truth, but Lord Long was worried about how to recover Xiao Tianyou, who had been greatly stimulated.
After that incident, Gu Tianyou's performance seemed normal. He ate as much as he wanted and slept as he wanted. The only difference was that Xiao Tianyou suddenly stopped talking. He didn't say a word for several days, as if he was suffering from aphasia.
Grandpa Long had originally intended for Tianyou to cultivate for a period of time before his arm was sprained by that person.
Xiao Tianyou took the initiative to resume his daily training. He pushed up, sat up, stretched his muscles and legs, and even worked harder than before. Previously, when he went to Miao Shifan 's school, he was somewhat helpless, but now, he had changed from being passive to being active, and his learning attitude was even more shocking.
Just as Miao Shifan had said, this world had both a good side and a cruel side. The weak and incompetent were destined to face the cruel side.
Ever since Xiao Tianyou developed aphasia, Miao Shifan had spoken a lot.
The mad words he held in his heart, which had been nowhere to fall, now seemed to have finally found a pouring mouth.
Do you know why that guy did that to you? Because he thinks he can do that to you. You must want to know why he feels that way? Simple, because you're naive. The world was like a huge garbage dump. Mosquitoes, flies, maggots were everywhere. Everything was rotting, and there would never be a clean leaf. If you want to survive, you have to learn how to grind your teeth and suck blood. Hold a weapon in your hand, and your eyes shine fiercely. You covet every living creature. There is meat to eat, and if you eat all the meat, you will absorb the marrow. One day, you must get used to all the sins in this world. Trust me, never believe in punishment.
When Miao Shifan said those words, Gu Tianyou sat quietly opposite him. The two men, one big and one small, were both so neat and tidy. Miao Shifan looked like a handsome middle-aged scholar, while Xiao Tianyou looked like a delicate and quiet boy next door. The two of them looked at each other with the same calm gaze, hiding their fanaticism and anger.
Without a doubt, if this situation continued, within a few years, there would be another serial killer in this world that was even more terrifying than Miao Shifan .
The changes that happened to Tianyou were all seen by Lord Long . He naturally did not wish for Gu Tianyou to become another Miao Shifan , but he had brought along soldiers for half his life. How to do ideological work was a problem that he had never understood in his entire life. Thus, he made a decision to impose a foot ban on Heaven's Blessing.
To isolate another and more sealed space in a sealed world, this simple and brutal method was a bit cruel to an eight-year-old boy who had just suffered a bloody calamity. However, Grandpa Long firmly believed that Gu Tianyou's aphasia was not only due to fear, but also due to anger. Therefore, he could not tolerate Miao Shifan drawing this anger into Gu Tianyou's heart into the entire world.
Lord Long was never a good man or woman, nor did he know how to build up his mind. He was already in his twilight years and knew that there was not much time left for him. Gu Tianyou had decided to stay behind. If this child was destined to harm the world in the future, then this period of grounding was the fate of Gu Tianyou. Lord Long had been struggling with fate all his life, but he had never suspected that everyone's life would be doomed. When the doomsday came, he could only rely on himself to defeat the doomsday arranged by fate.
Gu Tianyou, who was experiencing the first calamity in his life, was leaning on the window and looking out from between the two steel bars. There was an isolation net built around the outdoor area. On the other side of the net was the planting garden of the Armed Police Squadron.
It was the season when peach blossoms bloomed when the grounding began, and the garden was dyed red with spring.
Now, the garden was covered in snow.
The winter was exceptionally cold this year, and many people in the prison caught a cold. Perhaps it was because Lord Long was too old that this old man, who had suffered countless injuries throughout his life but did not know what the medicine was, fell ill. He lay there with a pale face, heavy breathing, and a candlelight that was barely breathing, without the slightest hint of grandeur of the past.
A gust of wind blew in. Grandpa Long sneezed on the bed. Gu Tianyou quietly closed the window and walked to the bed. He placed his small hand on Grandpa Long's forehead. He took out a disposable syringe in the sorting cabinet and inhaled the antipyretic. Then, he skillfully touched the blood vessels on Grandpa Long's arm and without hesitation stabbed into them. The medicine slowly poured into the blood vessels.
When he pulled out the needle, Lord Long woke up for a moment and opened his eyes to curse, "Bastard, take advantage of this daddy's sleep to prick me with the needle again." Then he blurred again.
Gu Tianyou looked at him expressionlessly. He quickly put away the syringe and walked to the electric rice cooker on the ground. He sniffed with his nose first, then pulled out the power supply and lifted the lid of the pot. The pot of dog meat was already cooked, and the fragrance in the room immediately overflowed.
He Weiran made the dog meat. The old man likes it. Gu Tianyou, however, was not sure if the current Lord Long could eat it. Lian Shang and the meat were placed in a bowl and served in front of Lord Long .
The broth emitted a fragrant smell. Lord Long 's throat wriggled, but he did not wake up to eat.
The familiar smell seemed to evoke a long-standing memory in Lord Long's heart. He narrowed his eyes and suddenly muttered about the past, beginning with the familiar experiences of Gu Tianyou.
In 1938, at the age of 21, Lord Long was already a well-known cavalry commander in the Northwest. In a mission to stop the enemy reinforcements, the Japanese cavalry brigades, which were several times their own, dragged on for several days until they ran out of ammunition and were finally forced to the Yellow River by the Japanese. If the Japanese wanted to capture them alive, Lord Long was unwilling to be captured. He led dozens of cavalry soldiers into the Yellow River.
It was late autumn, and the Yellow River was bone-chilling cold. Lord Long was lucky to survive in the water. The Japanese search team led the wolfhounds along the river bank searching for them. Not long after Grandpa Long climbed ashore, he was targeted. At that time, the search team had already captured more than a dozen cavalry warriors, including Lord Long's good brother, Xu Jinbo. Grandpa Long stabbed his broken saber into the old forest.
Lord Long was originally Shanliwa. When he was twelve years old, he followed his parents out of seclusion to sell leather goods. When he encountered the Dragon-Headed Ditch Horse Bandits, his parents were killed. He was lucky that he didn't die for revenge before throwing himself into another gang of horse bandits. His talent was extraordinary and his strength was extraordinary. The leader of the Horse Gang cherished his materials and taught him all of his skills. When he was eighteen years old, Lord Long led twelve elite Horse Gang members to attack the Dragon Head Gully at night and killed the leader of the Horse Gang, Ma Bingkui. At the same time, they were surrounded and chased by the cavalry division under Mazhan Mountain.
Lord Long was forced to join the Red Army helplessly. However, his loyalty and loyalty meant that he had no second thoughts after joining the Red Army. Because of this, he was appreciated by the deputy commander of the Northwest Front Army. At the age of twenty, he became the commander of the cavalry regiment of the Red Army and married the sister of the deputy commander of the Northwest Front Army…
In the past, Lord Long had mentioned it a few times when he was drunk, but every time he mentioned it after entering the mountain, he would always remain silent. Today, however, it was different from the past. Grandpa Long did not stop here.
Mountains were home to Lord Long, and hunting in the mountains was even more common. Dozens of Ghost Search Team soldiers brought four wolf dogs and a dozen or so captives to chase Lord Long into the mountain. As a result, the ghosts never came out, and the four big wolf dogs also entered the stomachs of Lord Long and a dozen cavalry brothers.
From the late autumn to the harsh winter, Lord Long brought dozens of little ghosts around the mountain for several months. At the same time, only two of the ten cavalry brothers survived after killing all the ghosts. The three of them ran out of food. There was almost no food in the mountains during the Winter Desolation period. The four wolf dogs were quickly eaten up, but there was no hope of leaving the mountains.
Lord Long suddenly stopped and greedily sniffed at the smell of the dog meat soup. Suddenly, he sat up and shouted, "Fatty Xu, Cao Xiaobao, you two bastards, don't admit defeat to me. Don't open your mouths wide for me, but eat hard. After this meal, there's no rest. If you want to eat again, we can only eat those stinking ghosts who eat human food and don't sh*t."
Fatty Xu was General Xu Jinbo, and the three-star general who would visit Lord Long every year was him. Back then, he was seriously injured, and it was Lord Long who pulled him out of the mountain alive. This old man could be said to have a prosperous career. During the Liberation War, he was seconded to Nakano. After that, he did not make any mistakes in his line of work. He stepped into the clouds and smoothly achieved his current position as the boss of the three headquarters. As for who this Cao Xiaobao was, Tian You had never heard of him before.
Grandpa Long was clearly bewildered, unable to distinguish between his eyes and his memories, and he kept mumbling nonstop like he was talking in his sleep.
Tian You has lived beside him since he remembered. Grandpa Long is a silent and straightforward person. In the eyes of the world, he always has an expression of being unafraid of gods and ghosts. He has never seen such a weak and uncontrollable side of this old man. Gu Tianyou listened silently and felt sad in his heart. Grandpa Long was such a heroic man. He was not knocked down by natural and man-made calamities, but he couldn't last long.
For more than half a year, the rage in Gu Tianyou's heart had been burning, never stopping for a moment. He hated the dead man, hated why he was born in such a place, hated the injustice of fate, and even hated the entire world, but he had never hated Lord Long, who had grounded him.
Gu Tianyou knew that without Lord Long, he would not have lived to this day. Grandpa Long had nurtured him during the years when he needed to take care of him and protect him the most.
How could there be hatred if he still hadn't reported it?
Although Miao Shifan was morbid, he was still a man with clear grudges. Retaliation for kindness and repayment of kindness with grievances was disdainful even in the sect.
Gu Tianyou sighed, scooped up a spoonful of broth and poured it into Lord Long's mouth. Three seconds later, Lord Long suddenly opened his mouth and spat out the spoon of broth untouched. The old man panted heavily and roared, "I won't eat. Let me starve to death. Cao Xiaobao, you bastard, it's fine if you eat little ghosts. You still want to eat your own brothers. I would rather starve to death than eat them. Take them away and scram far away. I don't want to see you."
By the time he said the last sentence, he was already hissing with all his might because of his emotions.
Cannibalism?
Gu Tianyou's hand, which was holding the spoon, trembled slightly. Looking at Lord Long in front of him, he felt that what he had experienced and done that day was not that terrifying. Little Tianyou suddenly remembered that Lord Long had killed countless times more people than Miao Shifan in his lifetime. The horrible experiences he had encountered were far more terrifying than Miao Shifan's. However, Lord Long did not turn into a lunatic who killed innocent people indiscriminately. In comparison, wasn't Miao Shifan a little pretentious?
Lord Long seemed to be still unconscious. He pushed the soup bowl away like a madman. Panting heavily, he kept cursing, "Bastard, if you can't get out, you'll end up trapped together. If the little ghost's flesh stinks, you'll eat your own brother. What is this?" If you take this bite, even the little ghosts will be inferior to you! "They deserve to eat these bastards. No one invited them to our house to fight. But if you want to eat your own brothers, I will never forgive you."
They really ate!
Little Tianyou's heart was indescribably shocked. He listened blankly. He remembered a poem he had seen from Miao Shifan . Yue Fei was so red that he said, "Xiao Tan thirsts for Xiongnu blood, and lofty aspirations eat Hu Lu meat." Marshal Yue was probably just describing it, but this person in front of him had actually done so.
Gu Tianyou looked at Lord Long, who was still a third of a tiger's might in his illness, and suddenly felt hot blood surge into his heart. The gloomy haze that had been stuck in his chest for more than half a year quickly dissipated. A sentence appeared in his mind, and he rushed to the side of his mouth and said, "Men should be like this in this world!"
After half a year of silence, Gu Tianyou was finally able to speak.
