Chapter 98 Talking about the past
Back at the thatched hut on the hillside, Zhao Xiaoyue poured a glass of water and said, "Master, please drink some water and relax."
Pu Liuye took the cup calmly and asked, "Why are you here?"
Zhao Xiaoyue walked around behind the table and said, "I'm here to see my godmother."
Master Pu Liu glanced at him calmly and said, "Tell the truth, don't waste your time."
Nothing can be hidden from this man.
"Master, Hunter," Zhao Xiaoyue paused for a moment, "I want Hunter to transform."
Master Pu Liu held the cup and rubbed it, "You decide."
"Master, please come back to Hai City with me to celebrate the New Year!" Zhao Xiaoyue lay on the table, looking at Master Pu Liu pitifully.
Or is it like a pool of stagnant water without any vitality, or as stiff as a dead tree? How can one describe Zhao Xiaoyue's mood at this moment?
A person is walking in the endless darkness, holding a lamp in his hand, which is swaying. When the wind blows a little stronger, the lamp goes out, and the person merges into the darkness, and no one knows whether he is dead or destroyed.
"Hey, you can choose to inherit my hunter's assets or donate them. It's up to you to decide what to do. I'll make clear instructions to Hou Taotao and the others."
"I'm only eleven!"
"But you're more than eleven!"
Zhao Xiaoyue's eyes were red. "Wait two years."
Master Pu Liu lowered his head and said, "You don't understand."
Zhao Xiaoyue saw her master's calm eyes slightly bent, "The length of time is meaningless to me."
"Normal," Zhao Xiaoyue knelt on the ground, "Wuwu, Master, you said you would wait until I am an adult, wuwu, you can't go back on your word, wuwu..."
She wiped the tears that were falling from her face like beads that had broken off a string, and said, "I don't have many relatives to begin with, and it's not easy for me to meet my master, wuwuwu..."
Master Pu Liu looked at his crying apprentice and said, "Do you know what I would do if you were not there, the first time I returned to Hai City?"
Zhao Xiaoyue sobbed and shook her head, looking pitifully at Master Pu Liu who was sitting there.
"Disband the Hunters, donate all the assets, divide the company among Hou Taotao and the others, and then go back to Huanhai Town to accompany Qingqing... She will be scared in places that are too dark."
No wonder I haven’t seen Pu Liuye since I was eight years old. It turns out that he had committed suicide for love at that time!
No wonder I’ve never heard of Hunter before, it turns out they were disbanded!
"I should have gone to accompany her from the beginning... now you want to keep me?"
Zhao Xiaoyue's heart ached and a sour feeling rushed to her entire chest. She wiped her face, stood up, sat opposite Pu Liuye, drank a sip of water, and suppressed the surging emotions in her heart.
"In my previous life, I never saw you again after I was eight years old," Zhao Xiaoyue glanced at Master Pu Liu and told the story in a straightforward manner, "Then my mother died, and my father was heartbroken and died of depression soon after. My grandmother wanted to raise me, but her two sons wouldn't let her, and in the end... I starved to death..."
Zhao Xiaoyue raised her head for a while, forcing back tears. "I was sold to the UK by human traffickers. I was too young at the time. Otherwise, I would not have survived to reach the UK just because I was a girl..."
Thinking back to those dark days...
The moment she woke up on the boat, Zhao Xiaoyue realized that she had been sold by human traffickers.
Two foreign men, naked, were brought in by an old woman. Zhao Xiaoyue was so scared that she screamed, "This little one? Are you kidding me, you stinky bitch? You said he was young, not a chicken cub!"
Zhao Xiaoyue was so frightened that she curled up in a corner in fear. The sound of clothes being torn pierced her eardrums...
Each blow hit Zhao Xiaoyue's young soul. The cries for mercy and the wanton laughter, the postures and movements, even though she tried her best to cover her ears and close her eyes, still reached her ears, leaving her with no escape.
She fainted from fright.
The next day, she had a high fever and fell in the corner. At night, the old woman dragged her into a small dark room, stripped off all her clothes, and showed a smug, hideous smile on her face.
The old woman was so scary, why didn’t she hit herself?
She later found out that only sheep in good health and with good spirits could be sold at high prices. Some aristocratic buyers with fetishes would pay high prices to buy girls with outstanding looks, and either wait until they were sixteen to auction off their virginity, or keep them in captivity and use them as tools for sexual gratification when the time was right.
Before that, they would be forced to work as waitresses in casinos and bars for three years. If they were noticed by someone, they would be sold at a high price.
Zhao Xiaoyue was sent to a casino and worked as a waiter for a year. Later, at a comic convention, he was used as a punching bag by a guest in a private room. He was hit on the head and bled, and his entire arm was covered with glass.
When he was dying, Zhao Xiaoyue secretly dragged him to the corner of the stairs, numbly pulled out the glass, and stole medicine to bandage him.
This method was taught by a woman on the ship, who later died.
Sometimes, for a little tip, Zhao Xiaoyue would be targeted and abused by the waiters, and the two of them became each other's support.
Later, there was an explosion in the casino and the two took the opportunity to escape!
Master Pu Liu took a sip of water, and there was no ripples or waves.
Zhao Xiaoyue was silent for a long time. "We started by picking up trash and sometimes cheating homeless people out of their money," she laughed self-deprecatingly. "Once we were sure no one wanted us, we started working. To scrape together money, we ate restaurant leftovers for two years."
Only the leftovers from the customers are free of charge, and those that are intact will be reprocessed and sent to the next table.
Finally, two years later, the two of them looked at the three hundred pounds in their hands and were very happy. They were finally rich.
You have to spend money to buy boat tickets or plane tickets, and then you have to wait at the dock at the comic convention to see if anyone wants to pretend to thank you for your work or something like that.
Zhao Xiaoyue continued to work in the restaurant and packed three meals a day for the two of them.
Once every six months, there was a ferry going to China but there were no stevedores. The boss was extremely anxious and the comic convention took the opportunity to promote him and Zhao Xiaoyue.
The two successfully boarded the boat, but if Zhao Xiaoyue hadn't discovered it in time, the comic exhibition would have been swept away by the waves.
In the dark night, the black hole on the sea surface is eerie and strange. Not far away, lightning and thunder appear from time to time, cutting through the darkness. With the momentary light, huge waves can be seen rolling.
After drifting on the sea for a month, the ship finally arrived at the port.
They took advantage of the cover and slipped away quietly without even asking for their wages.
He took out some of the money from the comic convention and exchanged it for Chinese currency, and hid the rest in his underwear pocket.
Zhao Xiaoyue laughed when she thought about it, "Haha," tears came out, "Master, you don't know, when I said that was the safest place, the comic exhibition was doubting life, but still did it obediently."
At that time, the order was not as developed as it is later. Zhao Xiaoyue reported his own name, which was legal, but he became an illegal resident at the comic convention. No one dared to let him show up in front of the government staff, otherwise he would be deported.
He successfully became an illegal resident!
I used the little money I had to do some small business, and later learned how to trade stocks, and stopped as soon as I made a little money.
When Zhao Xiaoyue was eighteen years old, he invested in an electronic product. After the continuous efforts of the two, two large companies were successfully listed when they were twenty-five years old.
Zhao Xiaoyue took a sip of water. "Later, we became big. The comic exhibition and I were malicious and monopolized the market. We became the evil capitalists in people's eyes!"
But what is undeniable is that, in one word, awesome!
It feels so good when you have the power of life and death!
