"Lord Jue, this kid is just trying to scare us." Tang Yuan was a little disdainful. How could there be a bug that was more powerful than it? It could not accept the fact that it was written in bold!
2A monster? Hmph! Did you think you were acting in a disaster movie?
2"Little brother Ling Jue... Ouch!"
2He had just uttered the words 'little brother Ling Jue' when Ling Jue gave him a good thrashing.
2"Why did you hit me? Let me tell you, kid, if you weren't so weak, I would definitely hit you!" He quickly moved away from Ling Jue and rubbed the top of his head. It really hurt.
2"Call me boss from now on," said Ling Jue calmly.
2"Boss?" He stopped moving and blinked his big black eyes. "You want me to call you Boss?"
2"If your ears aren't good, I can help you fix them."
2"You're my little brother. How can you be my Boss!" he said angrily and pouted. "Let me tell you, calling you Boss won't happen!"
2Ling Jue stopped and turned to look at him. She approached him step by step.
This was a small road made of bluestone, surrounded by houses made of limestone. No one had passed by this time.
2Niu Tingxiong took a few steps back. He was even a little afraid of his half-smile.
"Ling Jue, what are you doing?" He gulped and stared at his handsome, fair face. "Let me tell you, if I didn't see your weak face, I would have beaten you up. Go and ask around. I, Niu Tingxiong, have beaten up... Ouch!"
2Just as he finished speaking, Ling Jue gave him a hard slap. "Now, call me Lord Jue or call me Boss. Choose one."
2"No! Unless you defeat me! Otherwise, I will not yield!"
2"Defeat you?"
2"Yes!" He nodded stubbornly.
2"Alright." Ling Jue punched him in the stomach. It was not a strong punch, but it caught him off guard.
2"We haven't even started!" He clutched his aching stomach. "You're breaking the rules."
2Ling Jue smiled faintly. "Then tell me, how do you want to fight?"
2It was interesting to fight with such a middle-schooler. Hehehe.
2"I'll count to three, then we'll start. Whoever knocks down the other one first will be the Boss."
2"Okay."
2"One, two, three... Ouch!"
2He had just rushed up when Ling Jue swept her leg. He fell on the flagstone road. He even fell on his face.
2He turned over and lay on the ground, looking angry. He looked at Ling Jue and did not know what to say. "You, you, you..."
2"Little brother, get up. You gave me such a big gift, but big brother accepted it."
2"Hmph!" He stood up and patted his chest. "A man keeps his word. From now on, you will be my big brother."
2Ling Jue curled her lips. Children were so easy to bully.
"But, why have you become so powerful? In the past, you couldn't even catch a chicken." He patted the dust off his body and looked at him curiously. "Did you go to the city to learn martial arts? Ouch..."
2Ling Jue gave him a slap on the head and continued walking forward.
"Wait! You haven't told me yet! Where did you learn martial arts?" He quickly followed up with a smile. "Boss, Master Jue!"
2Ling Jue did not say much to him because she knew that he could talk to himself for a whole day.
He walked Ling Jue to his grandmother's door and wanted to pat him on the shoulder, but he realized that he was much taller than him. He could only smile awkwardly. "Boss, I'll bring you to Xiao Po tomorrow. Let's put the cows and roast potatoes together. What do you think?"
2"I have something to do tomorrow." Put the cows and roast potatoes? At her current mental age, she was no longer interested in children's fun.
2"You want to go to the back mountain?" He suddenly whispered, smiling mysteriously. "I knew it."

Ling Jue raised an eyebrow. "So what?"
2"You can't get in," he said proudly. "It's surrounded by metal nets. You can't get in at all."
2"Is that so? Alright then." Ling Jue nodded, turned around, and walked into the house.
2"Hey, hey, hey, Ling Jue, if you don't listen to me, something bad will happen to you. I know you can get in there!"
2"Hey! Boss! Grandpa Jue!" He shouted for a long time, but Ling Jue had already walked in, ignoring him.
2Niu Tingxiong rolled his eyes a few times, then chuckled. He would not go to herd the cows tomorrow morning. He would just wait for him here.
He had to follow his boss to see the so-called monster.
2Everyone in the village said that it was terrifying. He had been curious about it for a long time.
Today, he finally found a place to enter the back of the mountain. He had to go and take a look.
With that thought in mind, he went home happily.
When Ling Jue came back, her grandmother was still asleep. She picked up the sprinkler and watered the flowers.
At that moment, she saw two trees deep in the courtyard. They had been planted for more than fifty years, and there was a small swing hanging on them.
She was a little dazed. She put down the shower in her hand and walked over.
There was a rusty iron plate hanging on the iron chain. The old tree had been worn down to the point that its bark had fallen off. It was now growing together with the iron chain.
2"You're back?" Just as Ling Jue was lost in her thoughts, a voice came from behind her.
2She turned her head and looked at her grandmother, who was already up.
The old woman walked over with a slightly tired face. "These two trees were planted when your grandfather and I were married."
2"At that time, he said that he would make them into small swings for his grandchildren when they grow up." She touched the iron chain with her hands, but she did not seem to notice the rust. Her voice sounded distant. "Later, when your mother and your uncle were ten years old, they were already strong enough to be made into swings. The last time you were here, you liked to sit here the most."
2Ling Jue took out a tissue and wiped her hands.
"Let's go. Grandma will cook for you." She smiled, patted Ling Jue on the shoulder, and turned to leave for the kitchen.
2"Lord Jue..." Tang Yuan wanted to say something but stopped itself. It mumbled, "I told you, a slap would be enough. Why are you hesitating?"
2Ling Jue wiped the iron board with a tissue, then placed a few pieces of paper on top of it. She sat on it and shook it.
2Outside was a familiar scene. It was a small river filled with aquatic plants.
There were also fish jumping out of the river and sucking on it. The sky was dark, as if it was going to rain.
2In this kind of weather and scene, everyone who experienced it would feel depressed.
Ling Jue's mind, however, had always been filled with painful memories. She only felt pain all over her body.
"You should never have been born!"
2"You're a son of a b*tch!"
2"You deserve to die! Why don't you just die!"
2"..."
Ling Jue's memory is full of that woman's heart-wrenching words.
Her face was as usual. All of this, Tang Yuan could not feel. Only she could experience it.
2It was as if she were reading someone else's story, and it had nothing to do with her.
She saw the way Ling Jue was beaten up by that woman in her memory.
No wonder she was autistic. No wonder she had low self-esteem. No wonder she was depressed...
2"Xiao Jue, it's time to eat!" At that moment, she heard her grandmother's voice and it woke her up.
2She stood up, patted the dust off her body, and walked into the house.
"Lord Jue, do you want to consider Tang Yuan's suggestion?" Tang Yuan squatted on her shoulder. Why did it feel that Lord Jue was so strange at that moment?
