Chapter 186 (one hundred and eighty-six) Envy
"What's wrong with you?" The little boy asked weakly after finishing the snack and had not yet recovered his strength immediately.
Tie Hongyan sat on the ground without speaking, and just continued to cry. She no longer knew where she was going. If she continued on the same path, she would starve to death, but if she returned, she would continue to live a life where she was forced to do things she didn't like. She didn't want to go back not only because there were people there who were forcing her, but also because she hated the people of the Tiecang tribe in her heart, so it was really torture for her to go back there.
There was silence all around, and the two children sat there without saying a word. After a while, the little boy's physical strength recovered a lot. He saw Tie Hongyan still crying and thought: What is the reason? How could she cry for so long?
"Why are you crying? Is it because I ate your food?" the little boy asked.
Tie Hongyan was still sobbing, lowering his head and saying nothing.
"If you hadn't given me food, I would have starved to death. Thank you for saving me!" the little boy said gratefully.
After hearing this, Tie Hongyan raised her head and looked at the little boy. Once again, she saw that he was dirty and miserable. She felt that he was indeed pitiful, but she immediately thought that she no longer knew what to do at this time. No matter where she went, it was all because the poor little boy in front of her ate all her food.
"It's all your fault! You're annoying!" Tie Hongyan was finally willing to speak.
"I was so hungry that I didn't mean to eat all your food!" the little boy explained.
Tie Hongyan cried and said: "How can I escape when there is no food?"
"You want to run away?" the little boy asked.
"If you don't run away, you will be bullied!" Tie Hongyan said.
"Bully?"
"Forcing me to learn those annoying martial arts and beating me!" Tie Hongyan said, wiping her tears.
"Learning martial arts? How wonderful it would be to learn martial arts!" The little boy looked envious.
Tie Hongyan felt disgusted when she saw the envious look on his face. "Have you ever learned it?" Tie Hongyan asked a little unhappy.
"No." The little boy shook his head.
"Why don't you learn if you like it so much?" Tie Hongyan glanced sideways at the little boy.
"I really want to learn, but no one can teach me." The little boy said.
"You want to learn because you haven't learned it at all. If you had learned it, you wouldn't want to learn it!" Tie Hongyan frowned.
"Who said that? If someone teaches me, I will definitely learn it!" the little boy said firmly.
"I'll see if you like it after doing one movement for a long time!" Tie Hongyan said.
"So you are afraid of hardship!" the little boy asked.
"Who is afraid of hardship?" Tie Hongyan said disdainfully, "When I was doing the hard work that the adults said in another place, I was very happy. It was like playing. The adults all praised me for my strength. The more they praised me, the more I became happy. The more I love it, the more they never bully me!" In Tie Hongyan's view, her previous experiences were just fun even when she was doing hard work, because she was happy.
"You're not afraid of hardship, so what are you afraid of?"
"What's there to be afraid of? I'm not afraid of anything! But it's so annoying to me to do the same movement for a long time! I was forced to learn it by adults and controlled by them. I'm suffocated to death!" Tie Hongyan said angrily.
"It's for your own good that adults force you to learn martial arts." The little boy said.
"What's so good about it?"
"Practice martial arts well since childhood, and you will not be bullied when you grow up!" The little boy's eyes revealed his yearning for learning martial arts.
