Chapter 133 Past (2)
People like them have no right to choose at all. Only those who have the ability, qualifications and background can live like a human being. They are just insects that can be crushed to death at any time.
Xie Hongyuan admitted: "Then you have to make sure Xie Zhiyi doesn't live the life she is living now, and let her live well."
Why should Yan Liuli reject him? Even if it was just a promise that she would not keep, why should she not give it to him? She laughed twice, but also said in a pretentious manner: "It depends on your performance. You also know that it is very difficult for me. The status between outer disciples and inner disciples cannot be crossed. But if you perform well, I can also find a way."
Xie Hongyuan could only believe it. If he believed it, he would be more willing. Even if he had to say all the words of his life here, it was just right. He would not have the chance to say it again in the future.
Such is the fate of these little people: they live in confusion and die in obscurity.
Xie Hongyuan returned to the dormitory that day with injuries as usual. Xie Zhiyi had already washed a towel and came to greet him. At least there was hot water available, so she applied it to his wounds.
"Zhiyi, don't bother those people in the future." Xie Hongyuan was really not good at speaking. He grabbed Xie Zhiyi's hand and thought for a long time before he said this.
Xie Zhiyi was puzzled: "I haven't fought them for a long time, and I can't win. But don't worry, although I can't cultivate immortality, one day I will think of other ways to make them all get punished."
Xie Hongyuan shook his head desperately: "Zhiyi, no, don't hate anyone. It's good enough for small characters like us to live a peaceful life. Don't think about hurting or taking revenge on anyone. This is the only way to live, do you understand?"
"What's wrong with you? What did they scold you for?" Xie Zhiyi frowned fiercely. "I want to hear what these bastards are yelling about. He said you are a small fry? Who are they? Why do they want to be outer disciples if they have this ability? Xie Hongyuan, don't underestimate yourself. Aren't you quite capable?"
Xie Hongyuan didn't listen to Xie Zhiyi this time. He stood up and said angrily, "I told you not to go. You better remember that I am your brother. Can't I control you? There are many people who can teach you a lesson. Do you think you can keep your dignity? Wake up, Xie Zhiyi. If no one had taken us in, we would have died long ago. We are dogs and have to eat the leftovers thrown to us by others!"
Xie Zhiyi hated him the most for acting like a brother, and he immediately got angry and confronted him: "What have you achieved by being a dog? What's wrong with wanting to live like a human being? If I can't live like a human being, I would rather die, just like my father. It's useless to kneel down and beg for mercy from that man!"
Xie Zhiyi didn't understand anything, and every word she said hit Xie Hongyuan in the heart. He suddenly raised his hand and slapped Xie Zhiyi hard, pointing at her nose and scolding: "Does it hurt? How many times do you think they are stronger than my slaps? How many times do you think Daddy feels more pain than you? If they want you to die, you will die; if they want you to be incapable of being a human being, you will have to lie down; how do you want to live like a human being? With your qualifications of knowing nothing?"
As Xie Zhiyi listened, she felt that Xie Hongyuan wanted to draw a line between them and her. He did not mention himself in any of her sentences. Tears immediately fell down, and she covered her face and cried incoherently: "I know you are tired of me too. I am a waste and can't do anything. You don't want me anymore. You want to drive me away..."
It's fine to teach her a lesson, but how could Xie Hongyuan bear to see Xie Zhiyi so sad? He couldn't communicate with Xie Zhiyi at all, and he didn't know how to express himself. He was destined to be a failed educator who couldn't replace his father. He hugged Xie Zhiyi, covered her face, and said tremblingly: "I'm sorry, Zhiyi, don't blame me. I don't want to abandon you, but you really can't fight. I beg you, don't go looking for trouble with them, promise me that when our life gets better, we will go back to find mother, whether she is alive or dead, we must find her."
Xie Zhiyi was still being stubborn and struggling in his arms, not wanting to be held by him. Although she didn't know what was going on, she vaguely knew that something big was going to happen. She cried and said, "Then you come back with me. I can't beat the bandits, and I'll become like my mother if I go. You have to come with me!"
"Okay, I'll go with you, but you have to promise me to stay out of the spotlight and live a low-key life."
Xie Zhiyi nodded reluctantly. Although the deal had not been reached, he would just put it off for now.
Xie Hongyuan took out his clay xiao. This was not his weapon, but something he bought for practice. He practiced so many times that the places where his fingers rested were worn out. He put the clay xiao in Xie Zhiyi's hand and asked, "Do you want to learn a song?"
Xie Zhiyi had no interest in this thing, but Xie Hongyuan obviously wanted to teach her, so she pretended to be happy and learned a little. The song was very short. Xie Hongyuan said that the name of the song was Lovesickness, and he would play it when he thought of his parents during his practice. The sound of the Tao Xun was rich and ethereal, as if it could really take them back to the carefree days of their childhood. As Xie Zhiyi played it, tears began to fall.
As usual, she did not see Xie Hongyuan the next day. She knew that today was the sect competition, and outer disciples also had the opportunity to participate. She hoped from the bottom of her heart that Xie Hongyuan could stand out and be appreciated. She got up and cleaned the house, but did not rush to sweep the yard. She put the ears of corn she bought with the little money she had saved on the bedside of Xie Hongyuan and went to work willingly.
The disciples' requests were very difficult. They wanted hot water when they came back and tea at any time. Some disgusting people even wanted her to help them change clothes. They didn't do this when Xie Hongyuan was around. As soon as Xie Hongyuan left, they started beating her and ordered her not to tell Xie Hongyuan, otherwise they would beat her together.
In the past, she would deliberately do something wrong to upset them, and seeing them unhappy made her feel better even if she got beaten. But today, she was in a good mood and did her job very well, without making any mistakes. Despite this, they still found a reason to beat her, and even went further than usual. Xie Zhiyi once thought she was going to be beaten to death.
She bit one of them hard and was kicked to the side. She also heard the man say, "Why not just kill her? Anyway, that guy probably won't come back."
"That's fine. Who asked him to fight with Situ Xiayan? Isn't this the same as Tian Ji's horse race?"
"Normally he treasures this woman like nothing, but now that he's dead, I want to taste what this woman is like."
"Hahahahahahahaha, with that face and that figure of hers, you can really do that to her? Just beat her up, what kind of woman do you want in a brothel?"
"You don't understand. Each has its own flavor. This one has a strong temper. I guess he'll resist badly. Haha."
