Because their village was so poor that there was no school at all.
If the children in the village want to go to school, they have to walk a long way to the primary school in the township, or even to a town further away.
The village is too far from the school in the township; it takes an adult more than two hours to walk there.
Moreover, it's only a child who is eight or nine years old.
It will take at least three or four hours to walk there.
Lei Tingjun's uncle's house was not far from the village. Lei Tingjun stayed at his uncle's house mainly because it was not far from the school.
But at that time, Lei Tingjun did not intentionally hit the other children in his uncle's village.
Because the children from the same village, taking advantage of being a few years older than Lei Tingjun, would always laugh and mock him, calling him an orphan who came to their village to beg for food, and saying other insulting things to him.
Some even picked up stones and threw them at the Thunder Army.
Lei Tingjun, who had always been proud and had a strong sense of self-respect, refused to be bullied. He gritted his teeth, stuck out his neck, and went up to fight with the other kids.
But he was only six or seven years old at the time, how could he possibly beat those eight or nine-year-old or teenage children?
In the first two years, Lei Tingjun was often beaten by the older kids.
But he didn't say a word, and even if he was beaten and hurt, he wouldn't tell his uncle and aunt when he got home.
He just silently endured it.
Then every day I would exercise constantly, practicing boxing, dodging, and running speed.
A year later, he grew even taller.
Moreover, he was naturally strong. When he was a child, his parents often went up the mountain to dig wild ginseng to sell for money, and occasionally they would stew some wild ginseng soup for Lei Tingjun to nourish his body.
So, despite Lei Tingjun's family being very poor, he was taller and bigger than other children his age.
At just eight years old, Lei Tingjun began to turn defeat into victory.
After enduring a year of beatings and suffering for a whole year, he was finally able to get his revenge for all the grudges he had suffered that year.
When the other kids from the village came to bully him again, he could always take on two or three of them at once, beating those kids who mocked and insulted him until they were bruised and swollen.
Then, with a cold face, he warned them that if they dared to provoke him again, he would beat them even more severely.
However, the consequence of doing so was that the parents of the beaten children took their children to the uncle and aunt's house to argue and demand compensation for medical expenses.
At that time, Lei Tingjun, who was seven or eight years old, didn't understand anything.
I just felt wronged.
They were the ones who insulted and provoked me first, and all I did was retaliate, yet they accused me of being the villains.
But no one could hear the voice in Lei Tingjun's heart.
The uncle and aunt both gave Lei Tingjun disdainful looks, as if he were a huge nuisance and they couldn't wait to send him back to the countryside.
Even her uncle's four or five-year-old daughter imitated her mother's mean-spirited manner, pointing at Lei Tingjun and cursing him as a "beggar"!
Eight-year-old Lei Tingjun didn't say a word and left with his belongings that very night.
It was dark, and the road was completely invisible.
He had no torch or light.
Relying on his memory of the way home, he walked back, stumbling along the way.
Along the way, accompanied by the howls of wild animals echoing through the deep mountains and forests, eight-year-old Lei Tingjun mustered his courage and recited his books aloud all the way. After walking through the dark all night, he finally returned to his grandmother's house in the village at dawn.
By then, he was covered in mud and filth, and his arms and neck were scratched by the branches of the jungle at night, with bloodstains everywhere.
My calves were pierced by thorns on the road at some point, and my feet were covered in blisters.
When Grandma woke up in the morning and saw her grandson standing in front of the door like this, her eyes instantly reddened. She didn't say a word, but hugged Lei Tingjun and silently shed tears for a long time, only saying, "It's good that you're back, it's good that you're back."
Young Lei Tingjun, covered in injuries, finally relaxed and fell asleep in his grandmother's warm embrace...
