Xie Yang actually didn't care about Gong Zhuo's departure.
The experience of returning to the Xie family made him realize how weak he was at the moment and that he was not qualified to own anything.
He cannot keep anything given to him, whether it is from friends or others.
Since you can't keep it, don't own it for the time being, otherwise it will only be more painful when you lose it.
After seeing Gong Zhuo leave, Xie Yang went to find a place to stay by himself.
But he didn't expect that he would wander around in the mountains until midnight, and finally found the cave where Gong Zhuo lived.
There were many traps in front of the cave. Xie Yang looked around carefully and found that there were at least three large pits from where he was standing to the cave entrance. There were also many bamboo rakes hidden in the surrounding trees, and the downward points were all sharpened.
Xie Yang thought, it turns out this noisy kid is also quite alert.
Gong Zhuo noticed the movement outside the cave and curiously stuck his head out to take a look.
After seeing that the person coming was Xie Yang, Gong Zhuo couldn't help but feel a little proud.
He stood at the entrance of the cave, hands on his hips, and said rather arrogantly, "How is it? After looking around, did you find that my side is the best?"
"My cave is very big. It's totally fine if you want to live in it, but I can't let you live here for free now, right?"
Xie Yang subconsciously asked, "What should we do then?"
Gong Zhuo raised his chin and asked, "So, tell me, am I the most beautiful child in the world?"
Xie Yang still did not hesitate: "No."
Gong Zhuo couldn't help but curl his lips: "You are so annoying."
Xie Yang didn't feel anything when he heard this, so he turned around and prepared to leave.
It was impossible for him to say something against his will just for a place to live. Moreover, the accommodation in the wilderness was only of bad or worse quality. The cave was just better than other places, but it was not a must-stay.
"Hey, don't go!"
Gong Zhuo quickly avoided the trap and chased after him, grabbing Xie Yang's arm with one hand.
"I thought about it and realized that I need someone like you who likes to tell the truth by my side."
When Gong Zhuo said this, he almost bit his teeth to pieces.
He still thinks he is the most handsome kid in the world, but the other kids here don't like to play with him. He is too bored being alone and always wants to find a companion.
People's chemistry is amazing. He didn't like the kids before him, but when he saw Xie Yang, he felt that they would be compatible.
Although the result of the conversation was completely different from what he expected, he was unwilling to give up on him.
Gong Zhuo gritted his teeth and asked again, "Am I the second most beautiful child in the world?"
Xie Yang thought about it carefully. He felt that the third brother and second sister of the Yun family were better looking, but they should be teenagers?
The fifth sister of the Yun family is also very beautiful, but she looks dull, like an exquisite and beautiful doll, and is less lively than Gong Zhuo.
After Xie Yang took stock of all the people of his age he had met, he nodded.
Gong Zhuo immediately breathed a sigh of relief. Even if he couldn't get first place, second place would be fine. They were all among the best, and he wasn't picky.
"Alright, alright, come back to the cave with me. It's not safe for us kids to run around outside after dark, especially a new kid like you. You could get robbed easily."
Gong Zhuo kept muttering as he pulled Xie Yang to avoid the trap and return to the cave.
"Many adults here are numb during the day and insensitive at night. They are completely numb."
"Most newcomers have some belongings when they first arrive here, and some shameless old people will wait for them at night and try to steal their things."
"When I first arrived, I was robbed and then beaten."
"My stepmother is so wicked. My foolish father asked her to bring me a bag of spiritual stones, but she gave me a bag of ordinary stones without any spiritual energy at all."
"Those guys got angry after getting the stone, so they beat me up."
When Gong Zhuo said this, he couldn't help but clench his fists.
"But I've made note of this. I'm going to take it back and beat them up so badly they won't even recognize themselves."
Xie Yang just listened silently without saying anything.
He wasn't worried about being robbed, since he had nothing on him except the clothes he was wearing.
As for being beaten, it didn't seem like a big deal. He felt like he was almost losing his sense of pain.
After entering the cave, Xie Yang found that this place was indeed not very good.
There was a large nest of bats living deep in the cave. Gong Zhuo didn't dare get too close to them. He only dared to spread some hay near the cave entrance as a bed.
There was a large open space between where they slept and the bat nest. Above the open space was a large hole, and wind, snow and rain could all rush into the cave.
Xie Yang looked up at the big hole in bewilderment. It turned out that this place was not even as good as the woodshed where he lived in the Xie family in Xizhou.
But it’s okay, at least he doesn’t have to see those two hypocritical and vicious faces anymore.
After observing the environment in the cave, Xie Yang prepared to find an empty spot to sleep, but after lying down, he found that Gong Zhuo had no intention of sleeping yet.
He saw Gong Zhuo lighting a tinder and carefully sewing a piece of red cloth with a thin needle made of bamboo sticks. It looked like she was planning to make herself some clothes.
Xie Yang quickly remembered what Gong Zhuo had said, that in previous years, Gong Zhuo's mother would make him a new set of clothes on his birthday.
Now that he has lost his mother, is he going to do it for himself?
Gong Zhuo had been struggling with that piece of red cloth for years because he could never make it right. He was also a very vain child, and even if he had ordinary red cloth, he would still want to make himself a beautiful dress.
Every night when Xie Yang was practicing, he could see Gong Zhuo making clothes over there.
