Chapter 3: Twenty Years After Being Kidnapped

"Little girl, what are you talking about? Did everything I taught you in the past go to waste?

Your mother will take care of this matter. You don't have to work these few days, just stay home and take care of everything!"

Feng Wu, who was completely unaware of his own character collapse, took on too much responsibility.

The little girl had never heard these words in her previous life, so she just followed her own temperament.

In her previous life, her original body was beaten by Yu Chunlai and fell unconscious for several days. She was locked in the woodshed. Every day, Yu Chunlai came to give her a bowl of rice soup and put some incense ash on her wounds.

The original body was lucky. After three or four days of suffering, he managed to survive.

It’s a pity that my daughter has already been married off by Yu Chunlai, and it’s too late to say anything.

His daughter married at the age of seventeen, still a minor, and died within a year. Yuansheng was despairing, no longer thinking about his family outside, nor about escaping. It wasn't until two years later, when his origins were investigated, that he regained the will to live, driven by the desire to see his long-missed family.

Zhaodi wasn't afraid of Fengwu's scolding at all. Seeing that her mother still had the energy to get anxious and angry, she knew she was probably fine. She breathed a sigh of relief and said with a smile, "Mom, please don't say those things in front of that person."

Otherwise the man will go crazy and beat people again.

Ever since she was old enough to understand, Zhaodi has never called Yu Chunlai "Dad". Apart from talking to her mother, she usually works hard at home and never speaks on her own initiative.

"Didn't you borrow your classmate's high school textbook? Go back and study hard. Your mother will definitely let you go to school in the future. Don't meddle in adults' affairs, okay?" Feng Wu thought about the tone her mother used to teach her and sent her back to the room.

Calculating the time when his daughter was replaced, Feng Wu closed his eyes and began to meditate on the spot with peace of mind. He then found a technique called "Chaos Formula" from his memory and began to practice it seriously.

She found this technique in the secret realm of all realms. To practice this technique, one does not need to rely on external energy. One only needs to circulate the eight extraordinary meridians. The internal energy generated by the circulation is stored in the dantian. Later, by nourishing the dantian, the internal energy becomes thicker and the strength will gradually increase.

It's easier said than done, but to truly activate the Eight Extraordinary Meridians and cultivate internal energy, one must go through the pain of opening up the Eight Extraordinary Meridians.

Feng Wu had long been accustomed to pain. When struggling to survive in the myriad realms, she had experienced all kinds of suffering. The slight pain of practicing martial arts was too easy for her.

Perhaps she was frightened by Feng Wu's terrifying eyes today. No one came over even after dark. Feng Wu was happy not to have to deal with these people. Anyway, her adopted daughter would think of sending her some food.

After dark, it was almost pitch dark in the woodshed. Feng Wu heard hurried footsteps and stopped practicing her martial arts. Her sensitive ears recognized that the footsteps were those of her adopted daughter.

The footsteps were mixed with the old man's harsh shouts and curses.

Hearing the tone of voice, Feng Wu had the image of Yu Pozi in his mind.

This dinner was quite sumptuous, with half a bowl of soy sauce noodles mixed with oily shredded pickled mustard greens.

It was difficult to bring the bowls in, so Yu Chunlai agreed to let his daughter deliver the food and naturally gave her the key to the door.

Tied up with chains, how could she escape?

Everyone had come in, and Feng Wu, covered in blood, had no way of caring about his image.

Anyway, a son does not despise his mother's ugliness, and a dog does not despise his family's poverty.

Zhaodi looked at her mother's unconscious elegance while eating, biting her lips and her eyes red.

If her mother had not been sold to this unfortunate Tianbeigouzi, she would have found a good husband who loved and cared for her, given birth to a lovely child, and lived a happy life!

If she had called the phone number her mother had asked her to memorize at that time, would her mother have been taken home by her family and been pampered by her grandparents?

Feng Wu didn't disturb the little girl's trance. He ate the salty soy sauce noodles and took a bite of the burnt corn tortilla. Feng Wu almost rolled his eyes in choking.

When the little girl came to her senses, her mother had already eaten everything in the bowl.

I don’t know what was going on in this girl’s mind. She looked at her old mother with red and sad eyes, feeling confused and desperate in her heart.

Feng Wu had filled his stomach and started to drive people away with a stern face, "Children, go to bed early so that you can grow taller. Daydreaming will make you age faster."

Zhaodi, who was still imagining: "..."

There's something wrong with her mother!

I hope you haven't really been beaten stupid by that damn man!

The little girl's face turned pale from the shock of her own speculation, though it was too dark to be noticeable.

Zhaodi's voice trembled, "Mom, what's wrong with you?"

Pointing at the bloodstains on Fengwu's head further confirmed Zhaodi's guess.

Feng Wu: “…” Thank you, I’m not stupid yet.

Feng Wu, who was not prepared to explain, urged the people to leave quickly so as not to delay her enlightenment in the woodshed.

Zhaodi kept looking back, but she never received a single loving look from her mother. She could only worry silently in her heart. She thought about asking the man to take her mother to the town clinic for an X-ray tomorrow.

She is still useful to that man now. If she uses the bargaining chip of marriage exchange to ask him to pay some medical expenses for her mother's treatment, he should not refuse.

Tianbeigouzi is located between two big mountains. There are no major entertainment activities in the village. The most unusual thing is that a few bachelors get together to play Landlord. The winnings or losses in an evening are only a few cents.

As soon as it gets dark, every household rushes to eat and wash up. Except for the bachelors who don't have wives, they all get on the earthen kang early, rustle around in their quilts for a while, and then close their eyes to sleep until dawn. Occasionally, you can hear a few dogs barking in their dreams.

In the second half of the night, the moonlight shone through the dusty plastic film, emitting a faint glow.

Feng Wu opened his eyes from his meditation, turned his head to look at the moonlight coming through the small window, and with the rattling sound of iron chains, Feng Wu stood up and moved the joints of his body.

"Host, what's wrong? Why aren't you practicing in the middle of the night?" The pink ball asked curiously with his misty eyes open.

Feng Wu walked to the other end of the chain and pulled out a steel bar as thick as a thumb from the ground, while distractedly answering the system's questions.

"Nothing, it's been a long night, and I took advantage of the bright moonlight to go to the toilet to relieve myself."

Pink Tuanzi System: "..." Is this host probably having some serious illness?

"Isn't there a urine bucket in the woodshed? Why do you have to go all the way to the toilet to poop?"

I don’t understand humans! I don’t understand!

Feng Wu: “…”
