"How dare you old man bully my brother?" Ye Aotian was about to step forward to argue.
Xiao Xi grabbed Ye Aotian, "Big brother, this isn't real, don't get agitated!"
Although Xiaoxi was also very angry, reason told her that it was all an illusion.
"Brother, these are images from the fragments of Undying Cloud's memory. We're all inside the formation now, so you must stay clear-headed and rational."
She didn't know what the consequences would be if her older brother shattered these memory images.
The scene then shifts to a snow-covered landscape, a spacious courtyard with withered trees, and a large iron cage containing many children locked together.
They were starving and emaciated, fighting over scraps of meat and bones. They were all covered in wounds and fought fiercely for a little food. They couldn't show any mercy, because the consequences of being eliminated would be even worse.
The winning children frantically gnawed on the meaty bones, not daring to catch their breath for a moment, and then they had to undergo even more intense and brutal training.
Xiao Xi and her older brother saw that Xiao Lingfeng was also among the winners.
Xiao Lingfeng was left alone in a dilapidated courtyard when a ferocious Tibetan mastiff pounced out from the corner of the wall.
He stood silently facing the Tibetan mastiff, his legs trembling.
On the ground between them lay a moldy, dried-out steamed bun, which was what they were fighting over.
Suddenly, a resolute and determined look appeared in Xiao Lingfeng's eyes. He knew that this was his only hope for survival.
The Tibetan mastiff, which had been starving for a long time, bared its sharp teeth and growled softly, as if warning Xiao Lingfeng not to make any rash moves.
Xiao Lingfeng moved forward slowly, his heart pounding, his hands clenched into fists.
The Tibetan Mastiff also started to stride forward, its muscles taut, ready to launch an attack at any moment.
Suddenly, Xiao Lingfeng rushed forward, grabbed the steamed bun, and tried to snatch it from the Tibetan mastiff's mouth.
Upon seeing this, the Tibetan Mastiff immediately opened its mouth wide and pounced on Xiao Lingfeng.
Xiao Lingfeng dodged the Tibetan mastiff's attack by sidestepping to the side. He ran desperately, clutching the steamed bun tightly in his hand.
The Tibetan mastiff was hot on his heels, barking angrily. Xiao Lingfeng ran around the yard, his breathing becoming increasingly rapid. He had heard that this mastiff had already killed several of its companions.
He glanced back and saw the Tibetan Mastiff getting closer and closer. Just then, Xiao Lingfeng saw a low wall. A glimmer of hope welled up in his heart. He used all his strength to leap over the wall, then turned and threw the steamed bun into the distance.
The Tibetan Mastiff stopped, staring at the departing steamed bun, hesitated for a moment, while Xiao Lingfeng seized the opportunity to jump down the low wall and quickly ran away.
Xiao Lingfeng ran for a long time until he was sure he was safe before he stopped.
He was panting heavily, leaning against a tree, his heart filled with fear as he recalled the life-or-death chase with the Tibetan mastiff.
At this time, Xiao Lingfeng looked to be the same age as Xiao Xi now, only eight or nine years old.
He suddenly burst into tears.
"Grandpa, you tell me to be obedient, but obedient people never survive."
I hate you! Why did you send me to this cannibalistic place? Mom and Dad, why won't you come to save me? Have you forgotten you even have a son like me?
That's probably the case. Because I'm the youngest child in the family, and my older brothers are all so outstanding, you chose to give up on me.
"Just to maintain the so-called prosperity and stability of your Ye family's collateral branch, you're willing to sacrifice someone as insignificant as me?"
Upon seeing this, Xiaoxi almost lost her composure, and her emotions fluctuated wildly.
"Brother Ba, it's not like that. You don't know that Grandpa got sick because of you. He didn't want to send you away either!"
Do you know that you are a taboo subject for Mom? Your brothers never dare to mention you in front of her. How heartbroken Mom and Dad were back then?
Xiaoxi couldn't help but shed tears.
