Chapter 1 (1/2)
The Blue Boorish Mountain located in the north of the Yan Kingdom, bordering the You Kingdom. This place was not controlled by anyone, and no one intended to conquer it. Its location was dangerous, so there were lots of scoundrel's who had appeared. The Yan Kingdom [1], You Kingdom [2], Ba Kingdom [3], and Zhou Kingdom [4], and there were sixteen small kingdoms with thousands of square miles, known as the Sixteen Kingdoms of You Yan. The Yan Kingdom and You Kingdom were seen to be the two strongest kingdoms. These two kingdoms had continuously fought for years. Therefore, their civilians ran away to the Blue Boorish Mountain to seclude themselves from the world.
This place was just like a small world in which anything could have happened.
Such the place like that did not lack the existence of the scoundrels. Those scoundrels who lived there seemed to be in their element. Gradually, this place became the paradise for scoundrels. There were not only the scoundrels who fought the Blue Boorish Mountain from the Yan and You Kingdoms but also from the other kingdoms. During the tens of years, the populations of the Blue Boorish Mountain became more and more crowded, creating a mountainous castle with many inhabitants.
A group of baddies gathered together in one place, but they named the place beautifully, the Illusory Perennial Domicile.
Wherever there were people there would be schools. No matter if the place was noisy and gaudy or in the middle of nowhere, children had to go to school. Obviously, in the Illusory Perennial Domicile, no school could educationally teach.
Wherever there were people, there was division. There was also the rich and the poor, the inferior and the superior.
Once there was division, there was obviously constraint. However, seventeen years ago, there was a young student coming to the Illusory Perennial Domicile, and he himself defeated thirty-six bandits in the castle, regulating his own rules. From then on, the lives of the people in the castle got much better. They only needed to pay enough taxes to be able to live in peace.
In the Southern Mountain Town, a small town located at the end of the southern castle based on power division, ruled by the Great Nine Bandits.
In the school of the Southern Mountain Town, there were around more than forty children aged around five or six to fourteen or fifteen years old who were lazily sitting there, swinging their hips. Some were nodding, and the others were gossiping.
Actually, there were no specific teachers in this school. The Great Nine Bandits were the only ones. Nine guys who had appointed themselves as the greatest scoundrels in the world took their turns in teaching survival skills to the children. [i]
– ”Who will teach us today?”
– Fatty Du ShouShou asked his skinny cla.s.smate next to him. Du ShouShou was ten years old. Although his name meant “skinny”, he surely was not. Because he was quite strong, he was like the boss of the school except Gao Di, his henchmen. The child next to him named An Zheng in which “An” in peace and “Zheng” in aggression. In spite of the name, this person did not dare to fight for anything. He was the weakest one in the school. If Du ShouShou did not protect him, the other students would have certainly struck him silly.
An Zheng was always so subservient that Du ShouShou felt angry whenever looking at him. Usually, when Du ShouShou asked him a question, he would respond immediately. No one knew why today Du ShouShou had asked a question for many times, and An Zheng did not respond. Du ShouShou knew that An Zheng was a terribly weak person, and he had tried many times to train An Zheng to be little cruel. However, after three days, he gave up because An Zheng did not even dare to kill a mouse.
Du ShouShou glared at him:
– ”What are you thinking?”
And then he found out that An Zheng was being quite abnormal. An Zheng stretched down on the table without any movements. In the morning, when going to school, An Zheng was beaten by the two henchmen of Gao Di. It was lucky of him that Du ShouShou saw and had saved him, and took him to the cla.s.sroom. Since then An Zheng had been motionless, and Du ShouShou saw An Zheng stretching down on the table already in a pool of blood. He immediately wanted to hold An Zheng up, but he found that An Zheng’s body got hard, even as cold as ice.
– ”Gao Di, you jerk!”
Although Du ShouShou was a just little child, he understood what had happened.
An Zheng was the weakest student in this school, he did not dare to shout although being beaten, but finally, he was beaten to death. If anyone asked him to sit down and hold his head, he certainly would not have dared to stand up. If the others had asked him to kneel down and lick their shoes, he certainly did not dare to ignore them. However, his weakness could not exchange with the tolerance from the other children. In contrast, they did like to torture An Zheng. At first there was only scolding and a few beat downs, but later, it turned to torture.
The high child who sat on the first front table was Gao Di. He was also the oldest student of the school, as strong and muscular as a poddy. He was also the one who had usually bullied An Zheng terribly the most, even though his house was not far from An Zheng’s.
– ”Fat Piggie Du, you wanna die, don’t you?”
Gao Di stood up and turned to Du ShouShou with the wicked look of an adult.
– ”Don’t think that I do not dare to kill you. If it is not due to my respect to your big brother who led a religious life in the ancestry, I would have killed you and fed you to the dogs. If your motherf.u.c.ker still dares to scold me by no means, I will definitely break your hands and legs.”
The eyes of Du ShouShou turned red as a wild beast. He pointed into An Zheng, shouting loudly:
– ”You have beaten him to death!”
Gao Di got surprised a little, and then he had a cold smile.
– ”Playing dead? Was it true that the biggest role of this coward was to play dead? This morning, we had just beaten him a little. Usually, we beat him more cruelly. How could he have died?”
Gao Di kicked a chair foward, and then he kicked An Zheng’s back.
– ”Don’t play dead to your father. Your father knows you haven't been harmed.”
An Zheng fell down by one kick, but the body maintained stubled down. At that time, Gao Di and Du ShouShou saw An Zheng’s face as white as a sheet. His eyes closed and the eyebrows frowned tightly as admitting his extreme pain, and obviously dead. When this weak child was about to die, basically, he was unbearably hurt. However, he did not shout out, he only frowned his eyebrows, and grinded his mouth tightly.
– ”You b.a.s.t.a.r.d!”
Du ShouShou sent a fist into Gao Di’s face. Gao Di was beaten surprisingly, and he was about to fall down. He unconsciously looked over An Zheng’s dead body, worrying a little. This was his first time seeing a person who had been beaten to death. Moreover, it was him who had arranged people to beat An Zheng. However, in a short time, his aggressive characteristic blew his fear out. He waved his hand and shouted a word:
– ”w.a.n.g Meng, w.a.n.g Zhuang, why don’t you jerks come here and take him away from me? You two had beaten him to death, why am I the one get the punishment?!”
w.a.n.g Meng and w.a.n.g Zhuang were two henchmen of Gao Di, these guys came and held Du ShouShou. Although Du ShouShou disregarded An Zheng, and he always believed that he only felt pity for An Zheng, he realized An Zheng was his friend when seeing that An Zheng had been beaten to death.
Du ShouShou struggled crazily:
– ”You have killed my friend, I will revenge!”
– ”Revenge your mother”beep!”
Gao Di rushed into Du ShouShou and kicked off of his stomach, Du ShouShou was terribly hurt.
– ”Your friend? Uh huh!”
Gao Di wiped his mouth, and then he caught the hair of Du ShouShou:
– ”Being a friend with a coward? In this Southern Mountain Town, there is only you, who sees that coward as a friend. That coward who has no parents obviously died, but the Illusory Perennial Domicile is still fine without him. Fat Piggie, you motherf.u.c.ker, anyway you are a good child, why did you make friends with such a coward like An Zheng?!”
He smacked Du ShouShou once:
– ”Say sorry to me!”
Du ShouShou looked up, tried to struggle, but w.a.n.g Meng and Weng Shuang were as strong as him, so he could not escape. Seeing him not intend to say sorry, Gao Di caught his hair again and smacked him non-stop, creating such bra.s.sy sounds.
