Chapter 90 Monster
Actually, when A-Tian first arrived in the village, everyone in the village was very friendly to him, and most people sympathized with A-Tian.
But as time went on, A-Tian's predatory nature was revealed.
He bit a neighbor's chicken to death. He
was caught red-handed.
At first, they just thought that A-Tian was naughty and Shen's father lost the money for the chicken.
But this happened several times, until one time, A-Tian was seen by people in the village eating a live chicken.
They believed that A-Tian was a monster and wanted to beat him to death.
Shen Yi believed that A-Tian was not bad by nature, but he grew up in a different environment from them, so his living habits were also different.
This was not what A-Tian wanted.
Shen Yi, a little girl, protected A Tian. She thought that A Tian had just done something wrong, and as long as she taught him, he would definitely change.
But things never happened. They didn't believe that A Tian could change, and only believed that human nature was hard to change.
But with Shen Yi protecting him, they couldn't kill A Tian, so they took a compromise and drove A Tian back to the mountain.
It was also from that time that Shen Yi started to go up the mountain every day to bring food to A Tian.
Because the facts were as she expected, A Tian changed.
He no longer ate raw meat, but learned to eat cooked food, dress, and clumsily pick up vegetables with chopsticks...
But she taught for a long time, and A Tian still couldn't speak.
She took a branch and wrote A Tian's name on the ground and taught him to read it.
"A Tian, this is your name, A Tian~"
A Tian just tilted his head, not quite understanding, and shouted "Ao Wu" at Shen Yi.
Shen Yi sighed helplessly, smiled and touched A Tian's head, A Tian liked it very much.
She thought it would always be like this, but later, poultry was bitten to death by wild beasts in the village again.
They believed that A Tian had gone down the mountain, and they came to Shen Yi with the dead poultry the next day.
Shen Yi recognized that there were scratches from wild beasts on the poultry, and the scratches proved that it was not A Tian.
But the villagers did not want to listen to her explanation.
Shen Yi understood that they just wanted compensation, to make up for the losses of their families, and A Tian was the best shield.
Because Shen Yi would protect A Tian, as long as they bit A Tian to death, Shen Yi would pay money.
Shen Yi's argument was useless, and paying money was the fastest way to solve the problem.
Once, when Shen Yi had an argument with others, A Tian found out. When someone reached out to push Shen Yi, A Tian appeared.
He bared his teeth, and his ferocious look scared away the villagers. When he turned to face Shen Yi, he changed his expression to a gentle one.
The villagers said that Shen Yi raised a loyal crazy dog.
They shouted that they wanted to go up the mountain and beat A Tian to death, but were stopped by Shen Yi. In the end, Shen Yi still lost money.
...
"This will make them think you are a soft persimmon and easy to control."
Yu Chi rested his hand on the stone table, and his slender fingers slid on the edge of the stone table, where there was a gap.
No one wants to suffer a loss. It was pitiful that their poultry died, but they found Shen Yi and made up excuses to make Shen Yi pay money.
And the money Shen Yi lost was far more than the price of a poultry.
They would feel that they had made a profit. Once the desire was satisfied, it would not disappear.
On the contrary, it would become bigger.
Shen Yi lowered her eyes. The fact was that Yu Chi was right.
"Indeed, this happened several times later."
She chose to pay compensation to keep the matter quiet and prevent them from hurting A Tian.
Those people seized on this point and made Shen Yi pay a lot of money.
They had also threatened to go up the mountain to find A Tian many times, but they were just making a big fuss and never took any action. They just didn't expect that they would really dare to go last night.
"Do you know why?"
Yu Chi asked her.
Shen Yi was not sure.
"Maybe it's because of the wolf howls every night?"
Ever since the last time they came to Shen Yi's house to make trouble for dead poultry, wolf howls could be heard from the mountain every night after dark.
One sound covered another, spreading from the mountain to the bottom of the mountain.
It was a warning to prevent the villagers from taking action against Shen Yi.
Shen Yi and A Tian were actually the same, they both wanted to protect each other.
That's why A Tian voluntarily returned to the mountain after being driven away by the villagers.
That's why Shen Yi would protect A Tian behind her regardless of everything.
A Tian can't speak, but he can do it.
"He will remember your kindness."
"I hope so."
Shen Yi is too well-behaved. Although she is the daughter of a hunter, she has a very gentle personality. She can't play with the children in the village.
Over the years, A Tian is her first real playmate.
Some people say that Shen Yi is like her mother, but Shen Yi doesn't remember much about her mother.
After she gets married, she will have very little time to come back here.
She can't protect A Tian all the time.
But she hopes A Tian won't forget her.
Remember her kindness, or just remember her.
"In fact, sometimes I wonder, if I become a regret, will A Tian remember me longer."
Yu Chi asked her with some surprise.
"Why do you think so?"
Shen Yi looked at Yu Chi and smiled.
"Because good times are fleeting, only pain can be remembered clearly."
Yu Chi was surprised that Shen Yi could say such a thing.
But he had to admit that Shen Yi was right.
He himself was happy in his childhood, but the hardships that followed were unforgettable memories for him.
He thought he would die under Yu Su's sword, but he was saved.
He lived a relatively ordinary life.
Later, the person who saved him also died, in front of Yu Chi. Yu Chi didn't have time to see the man for the last time before he died.
So now, whenever he thinks of that person, the first thing that comes to his mind is that person's death.
Instead of the ten years they lived together, which were so ordinary that they were almost stable.
Beauty and pain are like this. Pain will always be more unforgettable than beauty, but beauty will slowly heal pain.
So before, in Yucheng, in that fight between the martial arts sects, Yu Chi was very lucky to find Gu Jue.
Fortunately, he was able to find it, fortunately, he caught Gu Jue.
It was not like the time three years ago when his incompetence was exposed.
A pair of hands fell on Yu Chi's shoulders, and the next moment, his head felt heavy. Someone hugged him from behind and put his head on his head.
He held the wrist of the person who came, and asked without even looking at him.
"Are you sober?" Gu
Jue rubbed his head.
"Why are you outside?"
Yu Chi smiled, and it seemed that he was still drunk.
"Chatting with Miss Shen."
"I want to join you too."
Gu Jue muttered. The stone bench was very heavy, so he moved one and placed it next to Yu Chi, sat with Yu Chi, and leaned on Yu Chi.
He put his head on Yu Chi's shoulder, clasped Yu Chi's hands together, and then closed his eyes with satisfaction.
Yu Chi raised his other hand to tidy up his hair.
Shen Yi found that Yu Chi's eyebrows would become very gentle when facing Gu Jue, and even the corners of his mouth would be slightly raised.
"Master Yu Chi, you smiled."
Yu Chi looked back at her.
"Did I smile?"
Shen Yi nodded.
Shen Yi discovered from the moment they met that this Master Yu Chi was a beauty, not cold, and even smiled a lot of the time.
But that smile almost didn't reach his eyes, and it looked very fake, but when facing Master Gu Jue, he would become very gentle.
This change doesn't require a long time to be seen, because it is really obvious.
"You and Master Gu Jue..."
Shen Yi didn't finish her words.
"Actually, I'm not a good person..." I
can even be considered a bad person.
Yu Chi's irrelevant answer made Shen Yi stunned.
In fact, people's evaluation of him at the beginning was correct. He killed people without hesitation and was cold-blooded...
But later someone taught him kindness and made him pick up all the emotions that he had lost long ago.
He had a heart and understood love.
But past experiences cannot be erased. He can't completely abandon the past and become a kind person.
The past overlaps with the present, and good and evil overlap.
Only Gu Jue.
"He is the only person I will not let down."
Yu Chi has seen that most people who interact with him have certain purposes or needs, calculations, dependence, mutual benefit, or need help from him.
Only Gu Jue, Yu Chi got him from his sister with just one word.
He followed Yu Chi and Gu Jue hardly asked for anything except the two taels of silver he asked for at the beginning. Moreover, Gu Jue gave all the silver he collected to Yu Chi later.
He happily took what Yu Chi gave him. He never asked for anything Yu Chi didn't give him. When he bought a string of candied haws, he would give the first one to Yu Chi. He
was reluctant to say that he liked her, but he was not good at hiding it, so Yu Chi could see it at a glance.
The little fool was very simple. He held a sincere heart and foolishly gave it to Yu Chi, carefully and cautiously.
Yu Chi would not let him down, so he treasured Gu Jue's sincerity and gave his heart to Gu Jue.
