Li Yong continued to walk down the path. He never stopped walking. As long as his legs are still able to walk, then during that time he will continue to follow the footsteps.
He didn't want to go back to the hut where he had been living all this time. Rather, Li Yong did not dare to go back there.
He was afraid that if he came back, the memories with Grandpa Li would come back again. After all, the hut had a lot of stories to tell. In the hut, they joked and laughed, the joys and sorrows passed together.
If he went back there, wouldn't that just bring back old memories?
Even though he was young, Li Yong was a smart kid. Even his intelligence is above the average child in general.
Too bad, such a boy had to experience a tragic event that was never expected before.
In that case, who is to blame? The human? Or that governs humans themselves?
Since that incident, Li Yong was never seen again. The residents who usually gave food to Grandpa Li Beng and Li Yong were amazed.
They have searched everywhere, but to no avail. The residents still couldn't find the two pitiful people.
Except for the old hut which was still complete with simple items, there was nothing else that could be used as a clue.
Until in the end, the names of Grandpa Li Beng and Li Yong began to be forgotten by the surrounding residents.
Over time, the names of the two people began to be forgotten at all. Whoever, by now had probably forgotten about it.
That tragic event happened ten years ago!
But who would have thought, ten years later, the little boy who had been forgotten by the residents, had now suddenly reappeared. In the same village, on the same path.
The red clothed youth who was walking alone, was indeed Li Yong.
The name is still the same. But his body shape has changed. His face changed. His nature and character changed. Even his pair of eyeballs had changed.
.Li Yong who had been cheerful, now seemed to be quiet. What used to be warm is now cold. And what was once so callous, now seemed even more callous.
What is wrong with him? What's with him? Why did Li Yong change completely?
If only there were people who still remembered him, surely these questions would appear in his mind.
But is it true that until now anyone still remembers him?
Li Yong didn't know. He never cared whether there were still people who remembered him or not.
His arrival to Fujian Village was not to tell the citizens that he had returned.
He came here to go to Grandpa Li Beng's grave. He had not gone to visit her in ten years. On the other hand, he also wanted to go back to his simple hut first.
Do the tombs and huts still exist? Have they been destroyed by time?
Li Yong continued to walk. He walked at a steady pace and never changed. His head was bowed more often. It was as if he didn't want others to see those gray eyeballs.
As he walked, Li Yong was suddenly shocked. It turned out that without realizing it, he had bumped into someone who had been in front of him for some time.
.As soon as he raised his head, Li Yong immediately saw that the person in front of him was an old man of about sixty-one years of age. His body is fat, like a ball. His face was dry. His mustache and beard grew thickly. His pair of eyes were very sharp, like the eyes of an eagle.
Li Yong did not know who this person was. Moreover, this was the first time he had seen the outside world again.
"Sorry ..." he said flatly.
Before the fat man could answer, Li Yong had already resumed his steps again in the same way as before.
But just five steps away, there was someone's voice that was quite loud.
"Stop!!!"
Instantly the young man immediately stopped his footsteps.
"Turn your body!!!" said the voice again.
Li Yong complied. He turned around, then slowly raised his head.
Turns out, there were quite a few people around. There are ten people in total. If you add up as a whole, then it would be eleven with the fat man earlier.
The one who had just spoken to Li Yong was a tall, well-built person with a fierce face. He wore uniforms like the other nine people. On his waist was a large machete.
"Is there anything else to do?" Li Yong asked after a moment of silence.
The tone is still the same as before. Still flat. Still cold.
"Kneel!" snapped the person.
"Why should I kowtow?" only Li Yong was a little curious.
"Because you've made a big mistake."
"What mistake?"
"You have hit Hartawan To," he insisted.
So the fat man is a tycoon?
Li Yong just found out about this. It turned out that the one he had hit was a big man. And the person who spoke in that high tone, must be Hartawan To's subordinate.
In the area, the name To Cin Peng or more commonly referred to as Hartawan To is indeed very well known. He was the richest person in the areas surrounding Lu Ya city. And Fujian Village, still belongs to that city area.
Wherever he went, he must always be respected by many people. Most of them are even willing to prostrate for a long time in front of him.
Unfortunately, what people do is not something that comes from their own conscience.
They did it all because they were afraid of Hartawan To. In the eyes of the people, he is not a rich man. But a demon in human form.
What he has done so far is always contrary to human conscience. Hartawan To often acts as he pleases. He never thought of anyone else. He only thought about his personal pleasure. Other people's suffering, it's none of his business.
During this time, I don't know how many humans were killed just because they made a small mistake to him. I don't know how many girls are forced to sleep and have their virginity taken away. And again, I don't know how many small people their lives were destroyed.
All that he did with ease. Without the slightest sadness in his heart.
Because of that, everyone feels afraid and is willing to worship so that Hartawan To doesn't interfere with his life.
Too bad, the young man who had bumped into him this time didn't know who he was. Not only was he not afraid, he didn't even want to prostrate like people in general.
Apologizing is like compulsion.
Long Li Yong was silent. During that time, he continued to stare at Treasurer To without blinking. After a while, he said again, "Didn't I apologize earlier?"
"That alone is not enough. You have to bow down and even have to worship it three times. Do it now!!!" the man shouted higher and higher.
