Ye Xi's heart was suddenly in extreme pain. He lowered his head and clenched the man's clenched fist tightly.
After being held by Ye Xi, there was no change in Huo Yaoting's expression, "Bai An, on the other hand, has a pure, kind, and kind personality. It's just that she has someone she needs to protect, which is why she forced herself to be ruthless. He needed to establish an inviolable authority in front of so many children. And so, I was ruthlessly and fiercely beaten up by Bai An at that time. "
It was originally a bitter memory, but when Huo Yaoting said this, he chuckled.
"But in the end, Bai An was still too kind. After hitting me, I owed him in my heart, and that night when I was lying on my bed in pain, unable to sleep, and hungry to the point that I couldn't fall asleep, Bai An sneakily brought the untouched Red Braised Meat over to me."
Even to this day, Huo Yaoting still thought that Bai An was too kind and had some guilt in her heart towards him, and would therefore take great care of him during the days he rapidly grew up.
In reality, it was just as he said. Bai An was a too kind person, he often lacked the mental fortitude for many things, and hated life from the start like this as well.
Therefore, when Huo Yaoting rushed out bravely from amongst the starving children like a small lion pouncing towards him, it was as if he saw hope, and his eyes shone brightly.
Huo Yaoting's appearance was like a beam of light in front of him.
He knew very well that the power struggles and schemes of large families would never stop. He was not suitable for such living conditions.
He still had a strong position among a group of children that had yet to grow up, but when these children grew up one by one, he would eventually be torn apart by these hungry little wolves.
He didn't care if he died. To him, dying was a true release.
Yes, he was tired of this hellish, bloody life.
But he still had the people he wanted to protect, his own sister.
Rather than saying that Huo Bai An was helping Huo Yaoting, it would be more accurate to say that he was looking for a way out for his sister.
"After that night, Bai An and I naturally walked together with the Bai An siblings. Because of Bai An, I did not starve for a long time afterwards. To me, Bai An is both a teacher and a friend. He taught me to get used to the cruel environment, and at the same time, he was also my best ally. "
Huo Yaoting squinted his eyes, the lines on his face tightened up, "But, what's coming, will come eventually."
"When we were eighteen, Huo Feng threw sixteen of us into the forest. Of course, not every one of his sons was involved in this bloody fight. Of all the children, only one brother and sister was required to attend. Jianjia naturally did not participate. Other than Jianjia, there were two more people. One is Huo Feng's second son Huo Mohan, while the other is Yang Wange and Huo Feng's son Huo Qinghan. "
The reason why Huo Mohan didn't participate in the battle was because Xi Hongfei had personally pushed her own daughter in and replaced Huo Mohan.
Furthermore, it seemed that it was not a secret as to why Huo Qing Han hadn't joined.
Huo Feng had been merciless his entire life, he had actually given his heart to a playboy, Yang Wan Ge.
"In this dense forest, the sixteen men have nothing but weapons. He had to think of his own ways to eat and drink. The sixteen of them continued to fight on their own. It was limited to seven days. In seven days, the person who will be able to walk out of this forest alive will be the next successor of Huo's Group. "
Huo Yaoting suddenly let go of Ye Xi. Ye Xi was so scared that she immediately pulled on his sleeves and looked at him in panic.
Huo Yaoting tilted his head and stared at her quietly, not saying a word.
His silence scared Ye Xi, but he had to slowly let go of his sleeve.
Huo Yaoting looked at her deeply, then turned and walked towards the grave.
Today, he was wearing a black overcoat, black trousers, and black leather shoes. Facing her back, he was tall, powerful, and eerie at the same time.
Ye Xi hugged himself as he trembled, not daring to take his eyes off her without permission.
"This forest may seem very large, but it has very small gaps between the trees. The leaves and branches are very lush, but for people who have trained for a long time, they have very keen ears and eyes. A slight movement in the wind might alert the 'enemy'. They were all intelligent people. At the begi
ing, no one wanted to be the first one to attack. They were all looking for a secret place to hide and reap the strength of the fishermen. "I'm used to living a full meal while feeling hungry. Three days of hunger is nothing to these people."
"And the real battle will start in four days. They began to hunt for wild food and water. Many people had died for the sake of food. I remember cutting a man's hand with my own for a wild eagle, and finally cutting off his head. "
His tone was so calm, so calm that it could cause chills to run down one's spine.
Ye Xi opened her mouth wide, her hand helplessly stroking her hair, as she bit down hard on her lips.
She couldn't move because of the cold feeling that came from her back.
Zhang Yang laughed out loud and said, "Alright then, I'll go with you."
That bloodthirsty man actually didn't have any weapon in his hand. He only used his two muscular arms to forcefully break off another man's arms and head.
She still remembered the man who had his head wrenched off, the magnified fear in his eyes as he begged for mercy before he died.
However, the man was not soft-hearted.
Was it scary?
Yes, it was very, very terrifying.
But, can you blame him?
No way!
Even though they felt that he was terrifying, in the end, they couldn't blame him anymore.
She knew that at that time, he was either the one who killed people or he was killed. He had no other choice.
However, there was still a knot in her heart. Because she didn't see the slightest hesitation in his eyes, he had already twisted off the neck and hand of the man with the same blood flowing in his body!
Closing his eyes, Ye Xi's pale little face was filled with pain and conflict.
"On the sixth day, only five out of the sixteen remain. Bai An and I are among them. Those who could last until the sixth day were all opponents that couldn't be underestimated. Bai An found me and took the initiative to request for an alliance. I clearly remember when Bai An said an alliance, his eyes shone. It's a light that's as cu
ing as a fox. "
Huo Yaoting frowned, her voice sounding slightly shaky, "What I thought then was, Bai An, Bai An, you are finally going to abandon me, right?"
Ye Xi might be able to understand his depressed and sorrowful state of mind.
Bai An gave him hope. Bai An, who had never experienced a kinship with others, gave it to him. In his heart, Bai An was his family, his family.
However, in the final moment of life and death, this man that he truly regarded as his family, in order to survive, was willing to give him up?
Lonely souls ca
ot afford to betray again!
"I promised Bai An that I would ally with him. On the seventh day, Bai An and I will take care of the remaining three people. There's no sunlight in this jungle, so we don't know if it's a cloudy day or a su
y day. "
Huo Yaoting laughed bitterly as his deep eyes stared at the grave.
"It was only then that we were watched by that man in the woods. When he saw that Bai An and I were in a deadlock, he knew that no one would be willing to make the first move, and that the seventh day was about to pass. He has repeatedly emphasized that only the last victor can leave this forest. If neither of us are willing to make a move, then neither Bai An nor I can leave this place alive. "
"Maybe it's because of those words, but Bai An looked at me with a determined gaze, and didn't hesitate at all. I can't remember what kind of expression I had at that time, or what I was thinking in my heart. When Bai An stabbed the blade into my abdomen, I was basically numb. "
From begi
ing to end, the voice he narrated was cold and without any warmth. It carried a coldness, a chilliness, and occasionally, a slight ridicule. He did not panic as if he were telling a story about someone else.
Ye Xi, on the other hand, was trembling in fear. He did not participate in the fighting, but the cruel scenes were vividly imprinted into his mind.
"Strangely, when Bai An stabbed the blade in, I did not feel any pain nor pain. Instead, it was relief. This blade can be considered as me repaying him for all these years of kindness to me. "
Yes, it was a favor. If not for Bai An, he might not have lived past eight years.
"We have fought side by side for more than ten years, and now with this slash of his, we have truly reached zero. Bai An and I owe each other nothing. So, I finally found an excuse or an excuse to kill Bai An with my own hands. "
His calm tone of voice, like he was telling a story, made Ye Xi unable to take it anymore.
Looking at his straight back, Ye Xi impulsively went forward and hugged his stiff and cold waist from behind.
Huo Yaoting lowered his head and looked at Ye Xi's hands which were wrapped around his waist, and paused for a few seconds, then said hoarsely, "Bai An stabbed his blade into my abdomen, and I directly pierced Bai An's heart. It was only when Bai An smiled at me in satisfaction while enduring the pain in my face that I suddenly realized that the knife Bai An had given me had deliberately avoided any fatal spots. "
"I asked him why he did that, but at that time, he already didn't have the spare strength to answer that question of mine, so he used the remnant Qi to request for me to take care of Jianjia for him."
As Huo Yaoting said till here, he did not say another word. He only looked at that lonely grave, and used a very complex and at the same time, very heartbroken expression of bewilderment.
He could not forget that Bai An revealed a gratified smile to him before he left, as if death was the true goal behind him.
However, after he was released, he was left alone in this world that was colder than hell. For the past decade, he had always been caught up in the deep guilt towards himself, as well as the nightmare of personally killing his brothers and sisters in name and killing him.
Now that he had personally cut open that part of his past in front of her, she finally understood him. But Ye Xi wasn't happy in the slightest, she was very sad.
This sort of grief seeped from his flesh into his blood and marrow.
If she hadn't encountered them, she wouldn't have been willing to believe that some people lived such a difficult life.
If she hadn't heard it with her own ears, she definitely wouldn't have believed that there was such a cruel and inhumane father and living standard in this world.
If it wasn't for the fact that he was really too sad, Ye Xi definitely wouldn't have chosen to say anything at this moment.
