"To be honest, my lords, when I was a child, I was not what I am now."
"Oh?" Hei Lu'er raised an eyebrow, "What was Mr. Xiaoshan like when he was a child? What is he like now?"
"Now I can talk to and interact with people normally, and I can lead a team on missions alone. This was completely unimaginable before. When I was young, I was very taciturn and unwilling to talk to others. It may be difficult for you adults to imagine that when I was six or seven years old, it was difficult for me to even say a complete sentence." Shanda looked at a few people and said, "Do you find it particularly incredible? Other people's children are three or four years old. I started to be enlightened, but I’m six or seven years old and I can’t even speak a word.”
“Is this something you’re born with, or is it something you develop?”
"It's not innate, it should be acquired. I should have been stimulated by that tragedy, which led to such a situation. When that disaster happened, I was still a baby in swaddling clothes. What is the specific situation? I actually have no memory of what happened at night, but something like this happened out of nowhere. The owner didn’t expect that I would become like this. Although they tried their best to treat me, there was still no effect, so they gave up. Well, there are so many children anyway, and one more person waiting to die will not have much impact on them. Maybe in the future, such stupid children will have other uses." Good laugh He smiled, that smile was particularly helpless, "I don't know what the master thinks. It probably means the same thing. Otherwise, they wouldn't be able to support me for so many years for no reason, right?"
"you……"
"Don't worry about me. At this point, I have nothing to be sad about. Not to mention the master, who is a stranger and is not responsible for my life at all, is my brother..." Shanda paused. He forced himself to suppress the tears that were about to burst out of his eyes, and continued, "You can also give up on me at that time. If he gave up on me at that time, would the situation be different now? Unfortunately, there is no if. "
"Let's talk about what happened when you were a child. How did you go from being a child like that to what you are now."
"It's because of an accident! From the time I can remember, until I was thirteen or fourteen years old, I have always played the role of my brother's little tail. In the eyes of the brothers in the same village, I was a burden and a follower. But My brother will not be at home forever. When he was twelve or thirteen years old, he was sent out to perform some tasks. I don’t know exactly what those tasks were. He never told me, he just told me that he was going out. For a few days, let me stay in the house and don’t go out and run around.”
"Are you not allowed to run around?" Ah Piao frowned slightly, "Are you worried that something unexpected will happen to you? Or are you worried that something unexpected will happen to you if he leaves you behind? Only the inside of the house is the safest?"
"Then I don't know." Shanda shook his head, "Anyway, every time he said this, his expression was very serious and particularly scary. I remember this very clearly, so I stayed silent. Stay in the house without eating, drinking or sleeping until my brother returns."
"What does he look like every time he comes back?"
"It's all good, there's nothing wrong with it." Shanda sighed quietly, "Speaking of it, that period was the happiest time in my life. Even though my brother always hated that iron cannot become steel, he said countless times I don’t want to be timid in front of others, even if the brothers from the same village laugh at me to my face, even if..." He shrugged, "I am always very happy and carefree."
"Will your brothers from the same village laugh at you to your face? Are you not shy about it at all?"
"There is nothing to avoid, because they know very well that no matter how ugly what they say, I can't understand it, so they don't care at all." Shanda smiled bitterly, "Although my brother's attitude towards me is also I hate that iron can't be made into steel, but I just talk about it, saying that I am ineffective, and I don't discipline me harshly. I guess I am worried that if I discipline me harshly, there will be unpredictable consequences. , If I was really stupid, he would have felt very guilty at the time! But..." The bitter smile on his face became more obvious, "Looking at it now, my idea was too naive."
"Then how did you become like this?" Wu Shudan frowned, "Did something happen?"
"It was about eleven or twelve years ago. One night, late at night, I saw my brother coming back covered in blood. Usually when my brother goes on a mission or does something big, he hides it from me and doesn't let me know. Yes, before this night, I had no idea that his mission was so dangerous. After I learned about it, I later found out that every time my brother told me to go out, it would take three or two days longer than planned. The reason is that if you are injured during the mission, the extra few days can be used to recuperate."
"Why did you see Mr. Dashan covered in blood that time?"
"It was purely an accident. I drank too much water before going to bed that day and got up more often at night, so I accidentally bumped into him."
"What happened next? What happened next?"
"I don't know who knocked me out. When I woke up, it was already three days later. I saw my brother sitting by the bed and looking at me worriedly. The first thing I thought of at that time was My brother’s injuries, although he told me that those injuries just looked scary, were actually not important. That’s when I started to have the idea of practicing kung fu well, protecting my brother, and sharing some of my burdens with him. .”
"He is also very surprised by your change, right?"
"Brother?" Shanda nodded, "It's not a surprise. It may be unexpected for him, but he quickly accepted it. He looked at me forcing myself, and although he also expressed his distress, It’s better to give more encouragement, otherwise, I wouldn’t be where I am now.” He sighed softly, “The brothers in the same village must also feel oppressed when they see such a change in me. After all, A guy who was considered a waste in their eyes has made such great progress, and if they don’t work hard, they won’t be able to justify it.”
"You are so advanced, haven't you done anything to you?"
"Oh, if you touch me and bully me, why do you need me to grow up? This has been their favorite pastime since childhood. Otherwise, my brother would not have told me to stay before going out. When you're in the house, don't come out unless you have something to do, right?"
"What have you experienced?" Hei Lu'er looked at Shanda, "Can you tell me?"
