Infinite true path

Chapter 4 Family Changes

Under the care of Duke Huan, Huan Yin gradually grew up. Duke Huan taught him how to read, read, and be a good man. He sent him to the best school in Jingzhou and found the best teacher for him. Huan Yin did not disappoint Duke Huan. Not only was he talented, but he was also very diligent. He was eloquent at a young age and was full of poems and books. Moreover, Huan Yin never felt proud because of this. Instead, like Huan Gong, he was always polite and humble to others.

Huan Yin's various performances made Duke Huan overjoyed and lamented that God had not failed the Huan family. Duke Huan was in a good mood because of this, and his illness gradually recovered as before.

One day, Huan was reading in front of the window and saw the book talking about immortals and beasts. He was very curious, so he ran to Duke Huan with the book and asked: "Dad, the book says there are immortals in this world. Is it true?" ”

"Of course there are. Immortals have great magical powers. They can fly to the sky and escape from the earth, and kill demons and demons. They are very powerful!" Duke Huan replied with a smile.

"Then Yin'er also wants to become an immortal."

"Oh? Cultivation is very difficult."

"Yin'er is not afraid of difficulties."

"Okay, I'll wait for my father to go out for business tomorrow and help me Yin'er explore the path to immortality, haha!"

Duke Huan was a very enterprising man, so he naturally refused to stay at home after his illness. Although he cared about Huan Yin very much, he could not ignore the family business. The most taboo thing about doing business is not being able to move around. Duke Huan had been recuperating at home for many years. If he no longer moved around in the outside world, he might be snatched away by others. Moreover, Duke Huan also hoped to pave the way for Huan Yin to take over the Huan family. Therefore, Duke Huan began to travel for business again when Huan Yin was four years old.

Huan Yin was happy when Duke Huan was at home. But after Duke Huan left, the family was in charge of the Zhu family, which was not so easy. Although Duke Huan had warned Huan Yin a thousand times before he left, Duke Huan's departure still became an opportunity for these so-called family members to humiliate Huan Yin.

The three words "Broom Star" were brought out again. As long as Duke Huan left, these three words would always surround Huan Yin's ears. It is not uncommon for the three elders Zhu, Wang, and Liu to sarcastically and harshly talk to each other, and it is also not uncommon to find incomprehensible family practices. The brothers and sisters even fought each other privately, treating Huan Yin as the person to vent their anger in life. There is only one exception, and that is Huan Yin's youngest sister Huan Jiujiu. Although Ms. Liu has repeatedly warned Jiujiu to stay away from Huan Yin, Jiujiu still secretly plays with Huan Yin. If they bullied Huan Yin too hard, Jiujiu would still be angry but couldn't help Huan Yin speak up. This also made Jiujiu suffer a lot of grievances along with Huan Yin several times.

Huan Yin never cried because he was bullied, he just suffered it silently, and then after they finished venting and left, he stood up silently, went to the pharmacy in his house to find the golden sore medicine to heal his injuries, and then continued on without saying a word. Homework done.

Huan Yin never told Duke Huan about this. He didn't want his father to be angry because of it. He knew that his father was seriously ill because of his anger, which was cured by his mother, whom he had never met. He often thought that if he knew magic, he wouldn't be bullied.

Just like that, another four years passed. One day Jiu Jiu opened the door of Huan Yin's room and said to Huan Yin who was studying in front of the window: "Brother, daddy is back. Come with me to greet him." At this time, Huan Yin was eight years old. Not only was he handsome, he was also handsome. The heroic spirit between his brows became even more compelling.

"Welcome, sir!"

"Welcome daddy!"

Duke Huan got off the carriage with a smile, strode to the door, passed the crowd, picked up Huan Yin, and said with a smile: "Yin'er, do you miss daddy?"

"Dad is working hard outside, but since I can't help, I don't dare to worry about him anymore."

"You're so good, let's go back and let daddy see how much I've grown."

Although this scene happened every time when Duke Huan came back, everyone's jealousy towards Huan Yin was still indelible. This made everyone's initial respect for Duke Huan gradually turn into resentment.

One day, Duke Huan summoned his family members to discuss matters in the main hall. After everyone arrived, Mr. Huan said seductively: "I'm old, and I'm afraid I won't be able to work for the Huan family for a few more years. So I've called you all here today to tell you that I'm going to make Yin'er the young master of the Huan family. Focus on cultivating the next generation of people to take charge of our Huan family, and at the same time assist the eldest lady in taking care of all the affairs of the family."

"Master, since I am still young, I'm afraid I won't be able to shoulder this important responsibility." Before Huan Gong finished speaking, Zhu quickly interrupted.

"Dad, because my brother is still a child, you actually ask a child to take care of us?" Huan Yu followed anxiously.

"Yin'er is a child? You are already twenty-three, and you are out all day long causing trouble for my Huan family and ruining our family's reputation. Yin'er is much better than you!"

"Master, please think twice." Except for Jiujiu who remained silent, everyone else said this.

"Don't think that I don't know what you did to Yin'er while I was away. Do you think I'm going to be blind when I get old? I'm not too young anymore. I bully an eight-year-old child all day long. If word spreads about me, I don’t know where to put my face! That’s it! No one can say no to me!”

Huan Yin served as the young master of the Huan family for a day and a night. The next day, the Huan family was mourned. Duke Huan died suddenly on his bed. The family doctor Zhang Chongyao diagnosed him as death from a sudden heart attack.

The Huan family fell into sorrow instantly. When Huan Yin ran to Duke Huan's room crying, the rest of the family had already arrived, and the room was full of crying. When Huan Yin staggered forward and wanted to take a last look at his father, he was blocked by Zhu.

"Get this broomstick out of here. He killed his own mother, and now he has killed the master!"

In this way, Huan Yin didn't even see his father for the last time.

Afterwards, under the auspices of the Zhu family, the Huan family mourned for Duke Huan. Many of Duke Huan's former friends and old customers came to express their condolences. In front of Duke Huan's body, everyone in the Huan family was immersed in grief, but Huan Yin was not seen. Although none of Duke Huan's old friends had ever met Huan Yin, Duke Huan always mentioned Huan Yin to everyone, which left a deep impression on them. I thought I could see the young son here who made his face look happy every time Duke Huan mentioned it, but he didn't even come to attend the vigil for Duke Huan, which made everyone criticize Huan Yin.

Of course Huan Yin didn't want to attend his father's funeral, but Zhu arbitrarily trapped Huan Yin in the backyard and strictly ordered his servants not to allow him to step out of the backyard. No matter how Zhu insulted Huan Yin in the past, Huan Yin never felt any hatred. And now she actually refused to let herself see her father for the last time, which made Huan Yin completely hate Zhu. But what can he do when he is young? He finally realized how weak and powerless he was without his father's protection. He could not even die for his father. For the first time, he cried, for his father and for his own powerlessness.

Zhu took this opportunity to announce that Huan Yu would be the next head of the Huan family.

Huan family, ancestral temple. Huan Yin knelt alone in front of the hall, facing Huan Bin's spiritual tablet, silently. It had been more than a month since Duke Huan's death, and the Zhu family finally relaxed their control over Huan Yin, allowing him to come and pay homage to his father. After kneeling for a while, he stood up and walked out of the house.

At this time, it is the season of early spring, everything is recovering, the sun is warm, there is a warm atmosphere on the street, and a few children run happily by from time to time. But this warm and peaceful atmosphere could not melt the ice in Huan Yin's heart. He walked silently, not knowing where the road was.

Huan Yin didn't stop until he reached the old street in the west of the city. The old street is the residence of the poor in Jingzhou City. Huan Yin has been in Jingzhou for eight years, but has never been here. He feels that he is the same as the poor people now, living a miserable life without knowing the future direction.

Huan was hungry, so he touched some broken silver in his arms that sister Jiujiu secretly gave him, and then walked to a bun shop.

"Call me, I just don't like him!" As he walked, Huan Yin heard a voice coming from the alley next to him.

He turned around and saw that deep in the alley, a group of teenagers about his age were surrounding another teenager lying on the ground, punching and kicking him. Although the beaten teenager had a bloody head, he remained silent.

Huan Yin didn't know where the unknown flame came from, and he rushed towards the group of young people who were beating people. Pushing, kicking, and pulling, Huan Yin tried his best to drive away the group of villains and save the man lying on the ground. When the man on the ground saw someone coming to help him, he perhaps saw hope and struggled to get up. He and Huan Yin got into a fight with the gang of villains.

Huan Yin had been studying literature since he was a child and had never learned any martial arts. The young man on the ground was obviously also a thin man. Facing a group of bad boys, it was impossible for the two of them to fight. Maybe they were too angry, maybe they had given up hope in life, so Huan and Yin fought desperately. The two men, covered in blood, were like evil ghosts. The initial push turned into biting, and the resistance turned into attack.

The bad boy was obviously restrained. This was just a fight between children under ten years old, but Huan Yin and the two were fighting tooth and nail.

"Madman! Bad luck!" Finally, the villains let go of the two of them and walked away, cursing.

After the group of villains left, Huan Yin felt that he was dying, and blood had flowed from his head into his eyes, covering his sight.

After a while, the child beside him seemed to have gained some strength, and said in a victorious tone: "My name is Ye Wuyou, the leaf of the leaves. My mother wants me to live a carefree life, so the name is Wuyou."

Huan Yin wiped the blood from his eyes with his hands and turned to look at the young man who was as embarrassed and scarred as himself. If there weren't so many scars and blood, he should be a well-behaved and handsome boy, Huan Yin thought.

"Huan Yin, eight years old."

"Seven years old."

"Where do you live and why are you bullied by them?"

"I have lived here with my mother since I was a child. My mother made a living by weaving. Later, when I was five years old, my mother became seriously ill and never got out of bed. After that, I learned to go to the mountains to collect herbs. I was very lucky. I have collected ginseng and Ganoderma lucidum for thousands of years, and every time I go up the mountain, I always come back with a full harvest. The people who bully me are also harvesters. They are jealous of my good luck and always get more harvests than them, so they often bully me.”

Having said this, Ye Wuyou paused and then said: "My mother got sick again this time. She was very ill. The doctor said that she needed thousand-year-old Ganoderma lucidum to prolong her life, so I went to the cliff to collect it. I climbed it for three days. I finally found one on the cliff. I didn’t expect that they would bump into me and snatch the Ganoderma lucidum away. No matter how lucky I am, I can’t get another Ganoderma lucidum.”

Huan Yin deeply felt Ye Wuyou's powerlessness, just like when his father died. In this world, no matter where you go, whether you are rich or poor, there will always be people bullying you. He looked at Wuyou and helpless. Although he didn't shed a single tear, his heart was definitely full of scars.
