Chapter 63 The Bitterness of Love (1/2)
Zhang Yunyan raised her head to find a little boy only at 5 or 6 years old. His cloth was worn out and full of dust. His hands and face were also full of dirt.
The boy was searching for something in the ruins. She did not know what he was looking for.
Zhang Yunyan felt painful and her eyes were wet. Needless to say, this was a poor kid in a poor family. Perhaps, he was just a beggar wandering everywhere.
She felt upset when recalling the days when she was wandering around for a living. Those days were really tough.
When she saw the beggar in this alienated world, it seemed that she returned to the miserable years. She felt sorry for herself and heartbroken for this child.
Yunyan immediately walked over and held the kids' hands, asking, ”Kid, do you lose something? Tell me, I can help you.”
The kid looked at her and said, ”There's no food in my home. I hope to find something to eat. If I could find some money, I can give my dad to buy some food.”
When he was talking, the kid looked around and hoped to find some new discovery.
Yunyan felt painful again and burst into tears. It was said that the children in the poor family would support the family earlier. Indeed, such a small boy like him could worry about his parents.
The kid looked at her and asked, ”Auntie, you're crying. Are you sick?”
When Zhang Yunyan found that such a poor kid could still care about her, she felt a sense of warmth and much more painful.
She wiped her tears, held back the sobs, and smacked the dust on his cloth. She said, ”I'm not sick, but a little bit heartbroken.”
”Heartache is a kind of illness. Let my mother give you a message. When I was sick, my mom would always do this for me.”
Yunyan held this kid and her tears fell down again. She held back the sobs and sighed. This kid knew to care about people. He must be a good kid.
She sighed and said, ”Good boy, auntie is not sick in the heart. I just, just recall a boy at the same age as you. Ah, he has been captured by a monster. It's dangerous and I'm worried about him.”
The boy felt shocked when hearing her words. ”Ah, was he captured by those monsters?”
”Not those monsters, it is... a monster elsewhere.”
”It's terrible. If those monsters run into the city, they would eat people.”
Yunyan had already felt that the tender body was shaking. She was very heartbroken.
She comforted him and petted him. ”Good boy, don't be afraid. I have driven away from the monsters. They dare not come over here again.”
Looking at the lovely and poor kid, Zhang Yunyan could only comfort him. She knew that Ninth Heaven Condor and his fellows would not give up so easily. They would provoke a war sooner or later, killing people without any hesitation.
She hoped that those monsters would not reach their goals, so people on the land of this alienated world would live a peaceful life.
Yunyan hoped to help this boy and his poor family. Unfortunately, she had no money on this land. How could she help them?
She hoped to ask Xiao Tianlong for some coins and also wanted to ask the young master to help this poor family. However, this would not immediately ease the strain.
She was so anxious and helpless, but she could not ignore this. What should she do?
Yunyan thought for a moment and finally got an idea, leaving the rest of her silvers and coins to the boy to help them tide over the difficult situation. She hoped that it would be useful.
She took out a few slivers and coins left and took the silver plaque off her head.
Zhang Yunyan handed these things to the boy and said, ”Kid, there're some silvers and coins, while this plaque's made by silver. There're no such things in this world, so they're rare and precious. Take them back to your dad and exchange them into some money or trade for some food.”
It was the first time for the kid to see such shining things. He felt really curious and happy. He thanked her again and again and ran away happily.
Zhang Yunyan felt heartbroken and burst into tears when looking at this kid's leaving. She sighed for a few times and prayed in her mind. She hoped that the poor family could survive the difficulty.
She remembered her own experience of begging and sighed again. She hoped that this poor kid would have a happy childhood.
Yunyan looked at the little figure and remembered the poor Iron Egg. She did not know whether Black Killer came back or not and whether that kid was safe.
Iron Egg was alone there. Even if he did not meet any monsters, he would felt scared. He could not escape out of the Black Bear Demon's hands.
Zhang Yunyan felt heartbroken and sobbed in a low voice. She felt pain for the death of Iron Egg.
She was in the alienated world thousands of years ago and had no way to look after Iron Egg. Even if he was in Black Tiger Cave, she had no ability to protect the kid, but stared at the poor Iron Egg who would be killed by Black Killer.
Zhang Yunyan hated the fierce brutality of Black Killer and her incompetence. Otherwise, he would not let the Black Bear Demon kill the kid or the other monsters continue to kill people.
She really wanted to worship an expert to learn some martial arts, so she could have the ability to fight against the evil monsters.
Yunyan naturally thought of Xiao Tianlong and sighed secretly. She felt helpless that such a good opportunity slid away.
She would say goodbye to the imperial master soon and could be farewell. The wish to learn from an expert would be postponed to someday. She did not know whether she could meet another expert like Xiao Tianlong and whether she could have such a good opportunity.
This happy wish had last for more than a decade. Yunyan had been dreaming of it for more than a decade, but it did not realize. She would continue to dream about this and wished it would realize one day.
Yunyan sighed because her dream could not be reached and her fate was so unfortunate. She also felt upset about her uncompleted dreams.
She remembered a person and sighed again.
