"Mom, I still think we shouldn't stay here."
"We may be able to live a good life, but this is all what dad paid for with his life."
The boy raised his head again, with a persistent light shining in his eyes.
The woman did not speak, but lightly patted the boy's shoulder.
"Son, do you know what is the saddest thing in the world?"
The boy shook his head and looked at his mother with some confusion. He couldn't figure out why his mother would suddenly ask such a question.
The woman sighed softly, and there seemed to be some special look in her eyes.
"Son, people live their whole lives just to fight for their stutter."
"You feel sorry for your father, how can you not feel sorry for your mother? But there are many things that we can only think about and do after we have eaten."
"If one day, you can grow into a man who is upright and upright. Only then will you have enough strength to protect the people you want to protect."
"But now, you can't protect your father, and neither can I. Instead, we two have to rely on your father to protect us."
"Otherwise, we may not even be able to survive this winter. Do you understand?"
When the boy heard this, he stood there for a long time. He seemed to understand the meaning of the woman's words and did not refute again this time.
For a moment, there was silence in the whole room.
After an unknown amount of time, the boy's calm and somewhat hoarse voice slowly sounded.
"Mom, I understand."
"I won't try to persuade dad again."
"Good son!"
The woman touched the boy's head, and a happy smile appeared on her weather-beaten cheeks.
"If you want to change, start by eating enough."
"I understand, mother."
The boy nodded heavily again, but there was an unusual look in his eyes.
Listening to the conversation between the mother and son, Yang Dong felt as if his heart was being pinched hard by a big hand.
That strong sense of helplessness was like an infinite flame, burning his heart all the time.
Why, why is it like this?
It is clear that the Blood Jade Alliance is killing others cruelly, but yet it has the support and love of the villagers?
Yang Dong rubbed his eyebrows,
He suddenly discovered that although it felt like he had been able to fully integrate into Da Zhou's life.
But the reality is that there are still some incompatibilities between himself and Da Zhou.
Although these villagers don't think there is anything wrong with doing this. They were even grateful to the people of the Blood Jade Alliance.
But in Yang Dong's view, this is unacceptable!
Can you really continue to live with peace of mind after spending your life to survive?
Yang Dong could understand the woman's choice, but he couldn't accept it.
However, all of this ultimately boils down to the fact that the people of the Zhou Dynasty lived too poor a life.
Otherwise, he would definitely not choose to sacrifice his life just for a few mouthfuls of food.
Yang Dong did not stay any longer, but turned and left the roof.
Next, he will have to make a choice. That is whether to be the "bad guy".
After all, what he does next may result in all kinds of abuse from the villagers here.
Yang Dong sighed deeply. He suddenly realized that these people from the Blood Jade Alliance were really capable.
Now is not the time to act rashly. After exploring around, Yang Dong plans to return to the place where he met Hong Laoliu.
Hong Laoliu didn't know where he went, and he never came back.
Yang Dong was thinking about whether he should wait for him a little longer. Suddenly, a dull explosion came from the direction underground.
At the same time, Yang Dong could clearly feel that the ground was shaking slightly.
Damn it, could it be an earthquake?
Yang Dong's heart skipped a beat and he subconsciously planned to find a way out.
But at this moment, a figure flew straight towards him like a rocket.
"Boy, slip away!"
The next moment, before Yang Dong could even react, he felt someone grabbing his clothes.
Immediately afterwards, the surrounding environment retreated rapidly. This speed, even with Yang Dong's current cultivation level, could be said to be unmatched.
Sure enough, Hong Laoliu was more powerful than he imagined!
Yang Dong sighed silently in his heart, but the next second, he heard a violent roar coming from behind him.
"Hong Laoliu, you old bastard, I'm going to kill you today!!!"
The next moment, a figure with a golden mask and no apparent age rushed out from the cave behind.
That speed was even a few points faster than Hong Laoliu's speed.
Yang Dong felt numb all over when he saw this scene. He now very much doubted whether Hong Laoliu had gone to dump someone's ancestral grave just now?
Otherwise, if people are so angry, what kind of evil thing did Hong Laoliu do?
He was thinking this in his heart, but he couldn't help urging Hong Laoliu to come.
"Lao Liu, speed up!"
"People are going to catch up, do you know?"
"Can you please hurry up and be so obsessive? If Cuihua sees it, she will definitely be angry with you."
"Shut up!"
Hong Laoliu let out a low roar and pushed harder on his toes, which made his whole body's speed actually become a few points faster.
The two of them were chasing and escaping like this. No one could catch up with the other, but their speed was as fast as lightning.
"Boy, is that old bastard still following us?"
Hong Laoliu gritted his teeth and asked, but his pace could not continue to accelerate.
Yang Dong glanced in the direction behind him and saw that the golden mask was still following him closely, so he said:
"Lao Liu, have you dug up someone's ancestral grave?"
"Otherwise, why would people risk their lives to keep up with you?"
"I, Hong Laoliu, will not do such immoral things!"
Hong Laoliu spat lightly, showing his strong disdain.
After a while, he couldn't help but explain:
"Actually... I was just curious about how they did it and asked the Southern Xinjiang blood jade to be replaced. So I dug the grave of their experimental base. Unexpectedly, someone happened to bump into it... I am not lucky today."
Hearing Hong Laoliu's words, Yang Dong couldn't help but twitch the corner of his mouth slightly.
Your operation seems to be no different from digging up someone's ancestral grave.
However, what deserves Yang Dong's most attention at this moment is another matter.
"Hey, Lao Liu, since you even dug up people's ancestral graves, what did you find?"
"How do these Blood Jade Alliance people replace blood jade? Didn't you say that this kind of blood jade cannot be replaced?"
Hong Laoliu explained to Yang Dong while running away:
"Theoretically speaking, blood jade cannot be replaced. This is because the meridians in the human body cannot withstand the alternation of power that occurs when blood jade is replaced."
"But these people from the Blood Jade Alliance took a trick."
