Chapter 787 Tribulations

Xiao Yunfeng used all his connections and spent more than two months to finally find the village he remembered.

But very few people survived in the village.

He went to the village himself, found an old man, and uncovered that tragic past.

It was only then that he learned that his mother was actually the daughter of the biggest landlord in the village.

She fell in love with the family's farmhand and, disregarding her family's objections, chose to elope.

His grandfather was furious. By the time he sent people to find them, she had already given birth to twins.

This incident became a disgrace to the family, and the grandfather wanted to burn the man and his two children alive.

The night before the scheduled execution, the man escaped with one of the children.

The mother risked her life and finally persuaded her father to save the one they kept.

He was the child who was saved by his mother.

This incident caused quite a stir at the time.

What followed was a year of unprecedented drought, and not long after, his maternal grandfather was also criticized and persecuted, and he did not survive and died.

In order to survive, his mother had no choice but to take him away from their hometown and find a way to make a living.

From the old man, he learned the other child's name: Xiao Yunhai!

Although Xiao Yunfeng found it absurd, he was still certain that the person Kong Daqing saw back then was the child who had been taken away by his father.

Looking at his constantly changing expression, Lei Xiao already guessed what he was thinking. "Of course I know! Because from the day I became aware of things, I knew who caused my father's family to be destroyed!"

Xiao Yunfeng collected his thoughts and clearly saw the hatred bursting in his eyes.

What Lei Xiao said next instantly made Xiao Yunfeng realize how terrifying and insane he was.

"To be honest, when I was able to do so, I went to that village, thinking that I should go and seek justice from those people. But I never expected that they would be so lucky and go to see the King of Hell so early."

Xiao Yunfeng's gaze was icy. "I can understand your hatred for them, but why did you become a traitor! What exactly did you do in that battle on the border twenty years ago!"

No matter what hardships he went through, none of them can justify his treason and collusion with the enemy!

"Pfft!" Lei Xiao suddenly laughed, his whole body contorting. "I really envy you. You were left behind by your mother and never had to experience living with someone who has completely lost their will and only drinks every day. Even though you're only four or five years old, you have to shoulder the lives of two people. What is that like?"

"I tried so hard to live, but in the end I still faced the fate of starving to death. Do you know how I survived in the end?"

His speech became slower and slower, and increasingly terrifying.

Xiao Yunfeng felt an indescribable suffocation. Even without listening further, he could imagine how tragic it must be.

Lei Xiao's voice continued, lost in his memories, like a demon crawling out of a dark hell, "That day, my father suddenly brought me a bowl of meat soup when I was already delirious with hunger. Meat soup, that was the first and only time I ever drank meat soup..."

Xiao Yunfeng's breath hitched, the color drained from his face, and he clenched his fists tightly.

"Stop talking!"

"Why can't you handle this?" Lei Xiao said sarcastically. "You're just listening, but I've actually experienced all of this!"
