It cannot be said that the original owner was right to commit massacres.
But her only salvation from childhood to adulthood was treated so cruelly.
Those who lack the ability to retaliate can only choose to endure in silence or place their hopes on the local authorities.
The original owner was a world-renowned assassin. Enraged to the extreme, he could only think of one way to avenge his deceased junior sister: to go on a killing spree.
Bai Ruo was the first person to test medicine on Xia Yunxue during that plague.
His body may be special; after taking the medicine, he developed antibodies and became immune to the plague virus.
Bai Ruo, who was saved, regarded Xia Yunxue as a living bodhisattva and helped those who were sick by her side.
Only a few children remained in the entire town. Later, Yi Mu came into this world and, following the plot, took Zi Ruo with him and raised him.
Ziruo was probably really frightened by him, and she wasn't close to Yimu at all.
Yi Mu had raised children before, but his two children were both very good at pleasing him, and he really didn't know how to please them.
998 reminded him again.
Ziruo is very envious of the neighbor's child. If you could show more fatherly love, he would probably be more willing to be close to you.
Envious of the neighbor's kid? Does that mean he should learn from the blacksmith next door?
The blacksmith next door moved to this alley in the western part of the capital city at almost the same time as Yi Mu.
Yi Mu worked as a musician in the largest brothel on this street. Because of his excellent skills, he had the right to act arrogantly.
He never went out, whether it was cloudy or sunny, and wouldn't open the door no matter how much the ghost servants in the building knocked.
Despite all the sweet talk and threats, Yi Mu remained unmoved by either.
The madam was furious for a while, but there was nothing she could do about it.
Male beauty is all the rage these days, and Yi Mu is handsome, has a cool and aloof demeanor, and is exceptionally skilled.
Many noble ladies and high-ranking officials come to the building specifically to see him.
Those nobles did nothing but listen to him play music. Yi Mu was a money tree, and the madam had to pamper him, hoping that the weather would always be like early spring in March, neither too hot nor too cold, without rain or scorching sun.
Compared to the sheepdog that only works sporadically, the neighbor is quite dedicated.
Regardless of whether it's sunny or rainy, they open their shops and welcome customers without fail, unlike Yimu who lazes at home sleeping.
Yi Mu made up his mind and sought advice from his neighbor.
After a day's work, the shop owners on the street headed home into the alley.
Yimu stood on the rooftop, looking down at the myriad aspects of human life.
The lanterns at the door of every house are lit up, a bright red light illuminating the way home for those returning home.
The young couple who run the rice shop are holding their two children by the arm. Although they look tired, they are mostly happy.
Little Shao Shao was carried on her father's shoulders, chewing on a candied hawthorn.
The little girl told her father in a clear voice that an aunt came to visit today and gave her two pieces of candy, but she didn't eat them because she was afraid they were poisoned.
Her father praised her, saying, "Shao Shao is so smart!"
Not only did Ziruo feel that Shao Shao was happy, but Yimu also felt that Boss Hu Tianqin was truly blessed.
My daughter is so well-behaved and clever; just looking at her makes me want to give her the best of everything.
No wonder he goes out to earn money rain or shine. He wants to raise his daughter well, but without enough money, he can't afford to give her the best.
Yi Mu scaled walls and rooftops, following Hu Tianqin back home.
He watched as the man took out large bones, scallions, and ginger from the cloth bag he was carrying, scooped some water from the well, washed the meat and vegetables, and then went back into the house to cook.
The sheep huddled in the corner like a cat.
This was the original owner's most basic skill as an assassin: to blend into the surrounding environment silently.
Soon, the aroma of large meat bones wafted from next door.
Yi Mu noticed Zi Ruo walking out of the house, craning her neck to look at the next room, her face full of envy.
Yi Mu was conflicted. Was this kid really that greedy for meat?
Does that mean he has to break his vow? But there are corpses all over the place... Ugh!
