”Why did you say there would be a disaster? What happened after you were born?” Lin Xiao asked curiously.

After asking this, Ya Heng suddenly paused. He looked down at Lin Xiao and smiled, ”It's better if you don't say.”

From the moment he saw Ya Heng, his smile was warm and forgiving. However, this time, the sadness that Lin Xiao saw in his eyes was something he didn't like.

”Tell me about it.” Lin Xiao said softly, as if he was afraid of startling Ya Heng.

Ya Heng pushed open the door and entered the room. He sat on the bed and waved for him to come over. ”Lie down and rest. I'll tell you.”

After the two of them laid down, Ya Heng looked at the ceiling and said, ”On the day I was born, Mother almost died, and the High Priest spent a lot of effort to save Mother, but neither my brother nor my brother had such a situation.”

”From then on, the grassland suffered great drought and fire. The tribe was almost destroyed because of my birth. Every year until now, during the dry season, there will be a fire. We will suffer heavy losses.”

”Originally, they wanted to expel me, but in the end, they were suppressed by my father. Mother was even more determined to die so that the people of the tribe would not touch me. However, I have always been an unknown existence.”

Lin Xiao tilted his head and looked at the person beside him. He could even feel Ya Heng trembling slightly when he said this. The pain affected him. He reached out and grabbed Ya Heng's hand. ”It's not your fault. It's a natural disaster, not your problem.”

This was indeed a natural disaster. However, in this superstitious and backward world, they could not understand and could only blame their mistakes on the beast race's mistakes.

Even black hair and black eyes are only a mutation in a gene, but it is impossible to explain in this world.

Lin Xiao grabbed his hand, Ya Heng held his hand backhandedly, ”You don't have to feel sorry for me.”

”I didn't sympathize with you, so after that they pushed you out of the way?” Lin Xiao felt that these people were really narrow-minded.

”Hmm, it's much better than before. I'm willing to take them with me when I hunt, but I won't follow them. I'll try my best to move on my own, so I don't want to give them any trouble.” Ya Heng said as he pulled Lin Xiao's hand. ”Go to sleep. Tomorrow, I'll take you out for a walk.”

Lin Xiao didn't break away from that hand and let him hold it as he slept.

To be honest, he started to sympathize with Ya Heng. This man was undoubtedly his savior. He saved his life, brought him around in search of something, and it could even be said that he fed him in this foreign world.

However, such a good person had actually said that he was unlucky. He had grown up being ostracized. Even he himself felt that he was unlucky. How sorrowful was that.

He, Lin Xiao, didn't have many outstanding features, but he was the only one that could be bullied, and the others couldn't.

Now that he had categorized Ya Heng as one of his own, he could not tolerate these people bullying him since he was young.

Lin Xiao tossed and turned all night thinking about how to take revenge, or how to change Ya Heng's image. Fires and the like were all due to the weather, so how could he blame Ya Heng for this? It was simply unreasonable.

Also, from the beginning, Chun Ming asked Ya Heng to be his wife.

Although this mother had protected Ya Heng with her life, she was still biased against him. Otherwise, she wouldn't have said those words in a commanding tone every time she spoke.

It was like this at home, let alone outside.

Therefore, everyone would reject Ya Heng even more. It truly wasn't easy for this child to grow up and be so bright and kind.

The average child had long since grown into a crooked tree.
