"Once, I got sick..."

Things took another turn, and the old lady's voice gradually began to tremble.

"Before dawn, Zhuo'er and Min'er went to the pharmacy to ask for medicine for me, but... no one was willing to give it to us... Even if there was ready-made medicine, the other party would give it away.

Wave your hands and say there is no medicine."

"Later, in order to treat my illness, they stole the medicine back while the doctor was not paying attention."

"But... things were revealed. Who found Zhuo'er and Min'er that day? They fell in love with Zhuo'er's beauty. In order to protect their sister, Min'er..."

Mother Dong did not continue.

You don't need to think about it to know that in that situation, Dong Min can be said to be alive or dead.

After a while, she continued:

"Since then, I have been teaching her, trying to make her understand the truth: don't trust others easily, and... people are no longer human after they have no use value to others."

After hearing this, Zhang Feng also understood a little bit about Dong Zhuo's situation.

Born in a wealthy family, she has lived a carefree life since she was a child. She likes to do chivalry and make good friends, but her father died because of her kindness.

Suddenly, his family was destroyed overnight, and he lived a miserable life.

Zhang Feng never believed in the stories in inspirational TV dramas where the whole family can still be strong and brave even after death.

Although the story told in this way is very touching, in fact it is completely nonsense.

After encountering that kind of thing, people will only become more negative, even cowardly, sad and angry, and helpless. Even if they become a child who only hides in his mother's arms and cries, it is not impossible.

Now it seems that his guess was correct. Dong Zhuo became what he is now just because he experienced ups and downs, great joys and great tragedies.

She must have experienced an unforgettable and unforgettable event, such as: her mother was sick and her brother was killed to protect her...

Yes, children born into a clan can never suffer, but in troubled times and depression, there are too many beggars kneeling on the streets, and they are just one of them.

"Then..." Zhang Feng planned to get to the bottom of it.

The old lady heard Zhang Feng's questioning, but she did not answer.

Instead, he raised his hand and yawned, and answered the question inappropriately: "As people get older, they get sleepy easily. Oops, I've been moving for too long today, and my waist is so sleepy."

"Well, sir, you can wander around the house as you like. I have to go back and rest for a while."

As she spoke, she leaned on the crutch with one hand and raised the other hand weakly. The two servants beside her helped the old man leave.

Come to think of it, she didn't want to answer this question.

After Mother Dong left, the scene suddenly became quiet.

Zhang Feng sat quietly where he was, a little confused.

Just as he was sitting there, a woman slowly walked into the room.

She faced Zhang Feng Fufu's body and said:

"I am Bai'er's mother, Mrs. Bai. Next, let me explain to you what happened."

Zhang Feng was stunned for a moment, unable to understand what the other party meant.

Why are you trying to fight back?

Bai walked slowly to Zhang Feng's side, sat down, took a sip of tea, and said slowly: "I heard these things from my husband."

Bai lowered her head slightly and pursed her lips, as if thinking of some unbearable memory.

Zhang Feng cast his gaze at her, waiting for her next words.

"At that time, my mother-in-law and uncle were young and had no ability to earn money. Grandma was also seriously ill and unable to move. They were forced to rest in the temple."

"The two tried to get medicine, but they were penniless, so how could the doctor give them medicine?"

"I tried many times, but without exception they were kicked out. In desperation, my father-in-law and uncle made up their minds to steal the medicine."

"The two cooperated with each other, one was covering and the other was stealing the medicine. At first, they were very successful and stole the medicine, but... in fact, the other party had already discovered their little tricks."

Bai Shi said with a wry smile on his face.

Zhang Feng understands this feeling very well. It is normal for them to be discovered. After all, how can children who are not familiar with the world fight against adults?

"As a result, the doctor followed his mother-in-law and uncle to find the sick grandma..."

Zhang Feng picked up the tea and just took a sip of water when he heard the follow-up.

Bai's heart seemed to be struggling. She clenched her fingers on her inner clothes, hesitated for a moment, and then said sadly:

"The doctor fell in love with grandma and young mother-in-law and wanted to taint them."

"..."

When Zhang Feng heard these words, the movements of his hands stopped.

The tea cup just rested against my mouth, motionless.

The whole room was extremely quiet, without even a sound.

Hearing this, Zhang Feng was speechless.

Bai seemed to be aware of the solemn atmosphere, so she took a deep breath and continued:

"Of course, he didn't succeed. In order to stop him, my uncle, mother-in-law and the doctor fought together. They had been hungry for a long time and were the doctor's opponents. In the end, the young uncle accidentally hit his head...

"

"The doctor was so frightened that he didn't say anything and ran away."

"In the end, my young uncle died in the arms of my mother-in-law... I don't think grandma would want to see this scene again."

After Bai said that, she left to mind her own business.

After listening thoroughly, Zhang Feng slowly put down his tea cup.

He has no interest in drinking tea anymore.

At this point, he finally understood why Dong Zhuo's mother said these words to him, and even deliberately asked Bai to supplement Dong Zhuo's experience.

He thought she was feeling guilty.

She felt guilty not only for Dong Zhuo, but also for the son who gave his life for them.

That's why she used this method to protect her only remaining daughter.

People who have lived for so many years can see through Zhang Feng's disguise at a glance.

And Zhang Feng was indeed shaken a little.

But...it's just a little bit.

To Zhang Feng, they are just a bunch of data.

No matter how flesh-and-blood they are, as long as he exits the script, these people will disappear.

There was no way he would let his mission fail just to fulfill an old man's wish.

In this battle, he really felt sorry for the Dong family.

Be it Dong Bai, Dong Zhuo's mother, or even the so-so and sincere Bai just now...

They are indeed miserable.

However, he could only say sorry to them in his heart.

Because he had to take Dong Zhuo's life!

Zhang Feng took a deep breath and silently took out a palm-sized golden compass from his pocket.

Li Su said that the location of the underground palace can be found by relying on this compass.

The pointer on the compass kept rotating in the air, and finally, Zhang Feng found the location of the underground palace.

It turned out to be the land beneath his feet.

Did they do it on purpose... or accidentally?

Zhang Feng didn't know what the other party meant. Did he want to invite you into the urn and catch a turtle in the urn?

No matter what, Zhang Feng must move forward without any retreat.

Zhang Feng searched carefully in the room and found a mechanism on the wall.

At this point, he successfully entered the underground palace.

"It's going to rain. Does anyone want to sell raincoats?"

In the huge woods, a stooped old woman was walking through the woods with difficulty.

She was holding a cane in her left hand and a pile of clothes in her right hand. She was mumbling something in her mouth. When her steps slipped, she would reach out to hold on to a nearby tree trunk to stabilize her body.

The shabby raincoat she wore was covered with mud and leaves, and the original shape was almost lost.

"It's raining, does anyone need a raincoat?"
