"Heroine, spare my life! I swear I'll never do it again! I...I really know I was wrong."
Lin Bao gripped the arrow tightly with both hands, his chest convulsing involuntarily from the dull pain, while his cloudy, yellowish eyes silently revealed a bone-chilling fear and regret.
If he had known he would die here, he shouldn't have come even if he had been offered a reward of millions.
Unfortunately, there's no such thing as knowing beforehand.
By the time he realized he was no match for Ling Mo, it was too late.
Ling Mo abruptly released his grip, coldly glancing at Lin Bao, whose breath was growing weaker and whose face was turning increasingly ashen. Seeing him coughing up large amounts of blood, he simply said:
"You know too late."
"..."
Lin Bao pursed his lips, as if he wanted to say something, and his throat moved with difficulty.
But the moment he opened his mouth, dark red blood gushed wildly from between his lips and teeth, and in his widening pupils, the days and nights of the past few decades flashed by...
More than 20 years ago, he was just a naive young man learning the craft from an old shoemaker in a small village in a county under the jurisdiction of Linjiang City.
The old shoemaker took pity on him because he had lost both parents and was very hardworking. In addition, the old shoemaker only had one daughter, so he simply took him in as his godson.
At first, he was able to diligently and conscientiously do the things the old shoemaker had assigned him.
One day, he accidentally caught a glimpse of the old shoemaker's only daughter, Su Yu, washing herself in front of a water vat in the yard. The girl's graceful figure aroused his desire, and his innocent mind slowly began to change because of this inappropriate lust.
For a long time afterward, he survived by stealing Su Yu's personal clothing.
Every lonely and unbearable night, he would quietly sneak into Su Yu's boudoir, secretly hide under her bed, and silently observe her every move.
One evening, the old shoemaker went to the county to purchase supplies, but was unable to return in time due to a rainstorm.
As usual, he slipped into Su Yu's boudoir and lay down under the bed, waiting for Su Yu to return to the room.
To his surprise, Su Yu actually brought Tie Niu, the man who sells sesame cakes at the entrance of the village, into the house.
To his utter astonishment, after Su Yu bolted the door, she and Tie Niu did something indescribable.
Lin Bao clenched his fists tightly, suppressing the urge to tear Tie Niu to pieces, and remained frozen under the bed.
Before this, the widows in the village often gossiped behind Su Yu's back, saying that Su Yu's flirtatiousness was just as good as her mother's.
She even said that her mother had an affair and accidentally became pregnant. After being discovered by the shoemaker Su, she abandoned her six- or seven-year-old daughter, Su Yu, and fled overnight.
At first, whenever Lin Bao heard these remarks, he would get so angry that he would roll up his sleeves and rush forward, ready to fight these gossipy women.
Only now did he realize that all the rumors about Su Yu were true.
Upon learning that his beloved "white moonlight" was actually a promiscuous woman, he was extremely depressed.
The next day, having witnessed Su Yu's wanton side, Lin Bao kept his head down when he met her, and didn't even bother to speak to her.
Unexpectedly, Su Yu noticed his unusual behavior. She placed her hands on her waist, glanced at Lin Bao with her naturally alluring eyes, and said bluntly:
"Hey bro, wanna play a game?"
"Yu'er, do you know what you're saying? I'm your brother!" Lin Bao said indignantly, still retaining his composure.
"He's not even my biological brother... Besides, don't you always like to hide under my bed? Now that I've given you a chance, you don't appreciate it. You're such a blockhead!"
"You know that?!"
Lin Bao's face flushed red instantly, and he was so embarrassed that he just wanted to escape as quickly as possible.
Su Yu noticed his embarrassment, so she grabbed his arm and forcibly dragged him into the boudoir. "Dad's not home, you can do whatever you want."
"Wh...what do you mean?"
Lin Bao stammered, instinctively wanting to refuse, but the thought of Su Yu's beautiful and charming appearance made him agree almost unconsciously...
Since then, he and Su Yu have often been inseparable.
It has to be said that the time he spent indulging in a life of pleasure with Su Yu was truly a pivotal moment in his life.
Unfortunately, their good fortune didn't last long, and the old shoemaker soon discovered their unusual relationship.
I still remember that stormy, rainy night when the old shoemaker, shovel in hand, kicked open Su Yu's bedroom door.
Lin Bao was so frightened that he knelt down at the old shoemaker's feet, begging for forgiveness with tears streaming down his face, and promising to treat Su Yu well from now on.
The old shoemaker, however, was unable to let go of his past misfortunes for a long time.
The person he hated most in his life was his wretched wife who ran away the night she got pregnant with another man's child.
Therefore, when he realized that his precious daughter was just as promiscuous as that slut, his blood pressure spiked several degrees.
Before he could even leave Su Yu's room, everything went black, and he collapsed heavily, dying instantly.
After the old shoemaker died, Lin Bao and Su Yu couldn't withstand the gossip and had no choice but to pack their bags and leave their hometown to make a living in Linjiang.
When Lin Bao first arrived in Linjiang, he washed dishes during the day and handed out flyers on the commercial street at night, saving every penny to marry Su Yu as soon as possible.
Su Yu's life was quite "fulfilling".
She worked as a dancer, a prostitute, and for a long time as a hostess in a nightclub.
Generally speaking, most women who choose to work in nightclubs do so out of necessity. Su Yu, however, is different; she is driven by both necessity and interest.
