Chapter 340: Aboriginal Ur

After all, he truly didn’t know this person and had no idea how he could be related to Wu Er.

At this moment, the Chief began to explain.

It turned out that the Wu Er he spoke of was the young man who had attacked him from behind Liang Yu.

In his early years, Wu Er also had a happy and complete family, but this was all shattered at that time.

All of this was related to those people who suddenly disappeared; the Chief had mentioned before that they did send people to search for those who disappeared.

On the contrary, many people went, and Wu Er’s parents were among those who went, with the result being predictable.

Both of the Chief’s sons perished there, so how could Wu Er’s parents return alive? Thus, only Wu Er, who was less than ten years old, and his elderly grandmother were left to depend on each other.

However, his parents also sacrificed themselves for the tribe, so the Chief and the adults who stayed behind did not mistreat Wu Er; instead, they took extra care of him.

Some people even treated Wu Er as their own child, better than their own children, which led to envy and jealousy from others—this was the source of all the trouble.

During his childhood, Wu Er was often bullied by these children, and when the parents of those children learned that Wu Er had been bullied by their own kids, they didn’t hesitate.

They dragged their children to Wu Er’s doorstep, literally hung them up with a rope and gave them a severe beating, showing no mercy, as if Wu Er was their biological child and these children were adopted.

The more the parents protected Wu Er, the more rebellious the children became; even though they were beaten half to death by their parents each time, they continued to bully Wu Er, and thus, this vicious cycle began.

Over time, the bullied Wu Er and those who bullied him actually became close friends; in Wu Er’s heart, he didn’t resent the children who bullied him, as he understood that he had taken away the favoritism that belonged to those children’s parents.

Instead, he blamed all his resentment on the people who caused his parents to disappear, which is why he felt that malice when he saw Liang Yu; in a way, Liang Yu was also implicated.

After listening to the Indigenous people Chief’s narration, Liang Yu didn’t feel much emotion; instead, he found it absurd.

You don’t befriend the people who bully you, you don’t seek trouble with them, but instead blame everything on others.

Wu Er’s parents weren’t killed by those people, and in Liang Yu’s opinion, whether they went to the abyss voluntarily to find people was still to be determined.

He even felt that it was possible that the parents of those children forcefully pushed their own spots to go to the abyss onto Wu Er’s parents.

However, none of this had anything to do with Liang Yu; he looked coldly at the Chief, his tone somewhat impatient as he spoke.

“What’s the use of telling me this?”

“I let him go just now; you don’t think there’ll be a second time, do you?”

“You’ve guessed what he’s going to do next, are you planning to intercede for him in advance?”

The Indigenous people Chief also showed a bitter smile; he did have such an intention in saying so much, wanting to give Liang Yu a heads-up so it would be easier to handle later.

He hadn’t expected Liang Yu to be so unyielding now; at this moment, he only hoped that Wu Er wouldn’t do anything foolish, and at the same time, he stated another purpose.

He had laid the groundwork for so long just to have Liang Yu take Wu Er with him to the abyss to search for his parents’ remains.

Over the years, Wu Er had secretly gone many times, but he had always been caught and brought back; he knew that one day he wouldn’t be able to stop him, and rather than letting him go alone at risk, it would be better for him to go with Liang Yu, as the chances of survival would be greater.

Liang Yu is a person from the surface; he would know much more about many things than they do, and by following him, they might even find the reason why those people left.

However, the Indigenous people Chief overlooked one very important thing: Liang Yu might not necessarily take the young man named Wu Er with him, as he had imagined.

Perhaps the Indigenous people Chief thought that since Liang Yu was unfamiliar with the place, he would be very happy and grateful if he arranged someone to guide him.

However, after asking Liang Yu, he received no answer; seeing Liang Yu silently deep in thought, the Indigenous people Chief had someone call Wu Er in.

Before Wu Er entered the house, the person arranged by the Indigenous people Chief had prepared him mentally, making him understand the current situation.

After entering the room, he looked at Liang Yu with stubborn eyes, then stood beside the Chief, awaiting the Chief’s command.

Ever since Wu Er entered the room, Liang Yu had kept his gaze on him, sizing him up and down; facing Liang Yu’s scrutiny, Wu Er, though silent, met his gaze with unyielding eyes.

Seeing the two of them like this, the Indigenous people Chief couldn’t help but feel a headache, but since Liang Yu was a distinguished guest, he couldn’t persuade him, so he turned his gaze to Wu Er, who had entered later.

Under the guidance of the Indigenous people Chief, Wu Er very reluctantly apologized for ambushing Liang Yu, but Liang Yu saw no remorse or guilt on his face; instead, he seemed very reluctant, as if forced by the Indigenous people Chief.

In response, Liang Yu simply sneered.

The other party did apologize; whether sincere or not, the act of apologizing was done, and that cannot be denied.

But whether to accept the apology was Liang Yu’s business; there’s no rule that one must accept an apology, is there?

So Liang Yu directly refused to accept Wu Er’s apology and looked at the Indigenous people Chief impatiently.

At this moment, the air around them seemed to solidify; the Chief knew Liang Yu’s thoughts, but he couldn’t intervene much at this point, so he only whispered a sentence into Wu Er’s ear, leaving the rest up to him to decide.

After a long while, Wu Er made some kind of decision; though extremely unwilling, he came before Liang Yu and knelt down directly.

“Bang bang bang!”

After kowtowing three times to Liang Yu, he lifted his forehead, which was already bleeding from the excessive force, and looked at Liang Yu, speaking each word clearly.

“I’m sorry!!”

“What happened today, I was wrong!!!”

Seeing Wu Er go to such lengths, Liang Yu didn’t continue to make things difficult for him and accepted his apology.

However, accepting Wu Er’s apology and agreeing to take him into the abyss were not the same thing.

So Liang Yu looked at Wu Er, whose face was covered in blood, and asked.

“Tell me!”

“Why should I take you with me?”

Wu Er, whose temperament was still immature, clenched his fists, believing that Liang Yu was intentionally making things difficult for him again.

At this moment, his face was flushed red, veins protruding on his forehead, and he looked as if he was about to lash out at Liang Yu at any moment.

Fortunately, at this point, the Indigenous people Chief couldn’t stand it anymore and slapped Wu Er on the shoulder, which made him calm down a little.

After calming down, he then spoke to Liang Yu.

“I know the way there.”

“Even the Chief might not know, but I’ve been there twice; although I haven’t gone deep, I should be the only one here who understands the abyss.”
