When Huang Cangcang was lying on the ground, he had not yet reacted to what was happening. He only felt a gust of wind blowing, and then his vision turned to the dense treetops above the forest and the starry night sky between the branches. After another second or two, he felt the pain in his body.
The others were similar to him, falling to the ground in the blink of an eye.
When the last person fell, Su Yi returned to Huo Jun, clapping her hands and looking forward to it: "Can we eat now?"
“… Wait two more minutes.” Huo Jun looked at her with a complicated expression, then looked at his friend on the ground.
Su Yi followed his gaze and shrugged slightly, "I didn't hit them too hard. I just let them lie there for a while. We'll hand them over to the police uncle after we finish eating."
Huo Jun touched his nose and asked, "Should we call the police?"
"Of course," Sue leaned over and took a sip of the aroma, and said as a matter of course, "This behavior is so bad. If it wasn't us who encountered it, others would have suffered. If you ask me, if someone does something like this, the tools used in the crime should be confiscated directly. But now we are in a civilized society, and we can't resort to lynching. We have to hand it over to the police."
The few people who were originally lying on the ground screaming in pain, all felt a chill somewhere on their body when they heard her words. They didn't have time to be shocked at why this young sister-in-law was so cruel, and they struggled to get up one by one.
Huo Jun saw their actions, and then looked at Su Yi, who was concentrating on waiting for the delicious food, and a horrible expression appeared on her face.
He cleared his throat and decided to tell the truth, "No need to call the police, it's someone we know. Why don't you take off your stupid masks?" The latter sentence was said to Huang Cangcang and others.
Su Yi looked over and saw those strange-shaped masks spreading out like liquid, revealing several faces in pain.
"So it's high-tech. No wonder I couldn't lift it off just now." Then she turned to Huo Jun and asked, "So what are you playing?"
Huo Jun grinned as if he had a toothache, "If I say I didn't know, would you believe me?"
"Should I believe it?" Sue looked at him sideways.
“Well…” Huang Cangcang climbed up crookedly and said cautiously: “Our boss really didn’t know in advance.”
He stood far away, leaning against a tree, not daring to come closer. He was a little dazed and still couldn't quite believe that the person who had knocked them all down in an instant was really the little girl with a round face and eager eyes squatting in front of him waiting for food
Aren’t they called vases in the music department? When did vases become so hardcore and made of diamonds
He looked at Brother Jun who was also squatting and calmly demonstrating his cooking skills, and gave him a thumbs up in his heart. The boss is the boss, with a unique vision and courage. Of course, his ability to withstand beatings should also be first-class, otherwise, ordinary people really can't afford such a little beauty.
Several people got up. Huo Jun looked up and asked, "Where's Da Lei?"
"He was called away by the teacher before he set off." Huang Cangcang said with some envy. He had just told the others that Da Lei was unlucky and couldn't go out to play with them. Now it seems that he is not unlucky at all, but very lucky and doesn't have to get beaten.
However, if he were to see that the delicate little girl in his formation during military training was actually strong enough to crush everyone else, I wonder if that wooden-faced guy would jump up in surprise
Huo Jun introduced them to Su Yi, who smiled and said, "Hello, I'm sorry I was a bit heavy-handed just now."
Several people quickly waved their hands and said no, no, you are kidding. Compared with what they heard from her, confiscating the tools used in the crime, how could a few beatings be considered a heavy blow? Not heavy at all!
The mushrooms were finally ready. Huo Jun knew how much Su Yi ate. It was not enough for her alone, not to mention that there were so many people here for no reason. So he started to drive the guests away: "Okay, you guys go back to the academy."
They had already smelled the tempting aroma and swallowed their saliva while enduring the pain. Unfortunately, the eldest brother had no intention of giving them any. Moreover, the younger sister-in-law was watching them with a smile, which made them feel uneasy. Even though they were very greedy, they had to leave miserably.
"Wait a minute," Sue suddenly stopped them and asked, "Will you keep this secret for me?"
She smiled very cutely, her round eyes curved into a crescent. In the past, these people would have definitely screamed in their hearts, but now they all shuddered and quickly promised that they would.
Only then did Sui let them go.
Huang Cangcang and his companions no longer dared to savor the delicious food. They walked as fast as they could, fearing that they would not be able to leave if they were a step late.
As for the boss? Hmm... the boss is so tough, so there shouldn't be any problem, right
The mushrooms were indeed delicious, but the only drawback was that there were too few of them to satisfy people. Su Yi couldn't help but savor the taste after she finished eating them.
"There are a lot of other food here. We can come again next time." Huo Jun said as he packed up.
"You seem to know a lot about food?" Sue asked.
He smiled and said, "I have experience living in the wild before."
After packing up the picnic tools, he stood up, looked around with his head raised, as if looking for something, and after a while he said to Su Yi, "Do you want to go see the stars?"
Su Yi looked up at the sky. It was filled with shadows of tree branches. Occasionally, one or two stars could be seen twinkling in the gaps. "Can we see it from here?"
Huo Jun said mysteriously: "I'll take you to my base."
Su Yi followed him with some curiosity. The two of them turned around in the dense forest. Huo Jun seemed to be very familiar with this place. Even at night, his steps did not hesitate.
Soon, they came to a huge ancient tree. Its canopy blocked out the sun, and the tree was almost like an island.
Huo Jun took Su Yi to climb up. Near the top, there was a place where the branches became very sparse, and a crooked wooden house was built on the branches.
Su Yi bent down and stuck her head into the small window of the wooden house. The space inside was not big, just enough for a person to turn around, but there were a lot of things piled up close and personal. It felt like a small nest where squirrels stored supplies in preparation for the winter.
Huo Jun dragged a blanket out of the wooden house, spread it out on the platform outside the house, sat on it, patted the seat beside him, and said to Su Yi, "Sit here."
Su Yi moved over and sat down, and found that the blanket felt a little hard, as if it was the fur of some animal. The edges were also rough, as if it had been peeled off by a clumsy child.
She couldn't help but turn her head to look at Huo Jun, who was looking up at the night sky.
Su Yi also raised his head. There were lush trees all around, with only a small space on the wooden roof with a few sparse branches extending diagonally. Under the dark shadows of the branches, the starlight became brighter, like a dark plate sprinkled with tiny gems.
"Very beautiful," she said.
Huo Jun heard this and said with some pride: "I was the first to discover this place, and you are the second person to come here."
"Did you build the cabin?"
Huo Jun nodded, and then he remembered something and said as if to make amends: "It was relatively small at that time. If it were now, it would definitely be bigger and better."
Su Yi noticed when she looked at it just now. The marks around it were a bit crude, not like the product of careful carving by an adult. "How old were you then?"
Huo Jun thought for a moment and said uncertainly: "Ten years old? Or eleven years old."
"Alone?"
He nodded again.
A boy in his teens should be acting like a spoiled brat and throwing tantrums in front of his parents, but he appeared here alone.
The closest place to this dense forest with traces of human life is the Royal Academy. The two places are about a hundred kilometers apart. Such a long distance is enough to make this place a paradise for animals.
The night breeze blew gently, the leaves rustled in the wind, unknown insects hid in the grass and sang, and in the distance, the roar of wild beasts could be heard faintly.
Sue seemed to be able to see the young boy hiding in the treetops, trembling as he endured each terrifying night.
"Why?" she asked again.
Huo Jun curled his lips and said, "Just some training methods."
He said it lightly, as if he was just thinking about it casually: "Have I ever told you about my situation?"
Su Yi shook her head. Although she had guessed Huo Jun's background, she only knew it roughly.
Huo Jun moved down and lay down on the platform, with his hands behind his head and his calves hanging outside. He looked at the starry sky and said, "I am an illegitimate child. My biological father does not acknowledge my existence. My mother's situation is more complicated. She was born to my grandfather and his lover, and she was not accepted by the family. This means that I am the illegitimate child of an illegitimate child."
At this point, he seemed to find it funny and laughed softly before continuing, "It wasn't until I was eight years old that I was diagnosed with double S potential. Only then did the door of my maternal grandparents' house open to me and my mother. Then there was training, lots and lots of training. She was eager to make me good enough. Only in this way could I be recognized by my biological father and she could step out in front of people instead of hiding in the shadows."
Su Yi listened quietly, and waited until he finished speaking before saying, "It sounds like you have been a poor little kid since you were a child?"
Huo Jun laughed again, and this time he could clearly hear his amusement. "That may not be the case. You know, being unorthodox has its advantages. At least when those young masters and young ladies come to pick a fight, I can beat them until they cry for their parents. After all, I am a bastard whose father is unknown. You can't expect me to understand etiquette and reason, right?"
"Why do I feel like it sounds even worse?"
"Really?" Huo Jun scratched his cheek, thought for a moment, and then said, "Let's put it another way. If I hadn't had those experiences, I wouldn't have been able to enter this school, meet you, or watch the stars with you. Isn't this much better?"
Su Yi lowered her eyes to look at him. They were lying and sitting respectively. She was looking down from a high vantage point. Huo Jun was also looking at her. The stars in the night sky seemed to fall into his eyes, and his eyes were glowing.
He reached out tentatively and held Su Yi's hand hanging on her legs. Seeing that he was not rejected, he squeezed it.
Su Yi's eyes fell on the hands of the two men. She did not pull her hands away. When Huo Jun could no longer hide his joy, she asked, "So this is your purpose for playing the victim for so long?"
Huo Jun raised his eyebrows and said, "Playing the victim? How can a man play the victim?"
Just pretending to be pitiful.
