Chu Mo looked at Gao Yingjun speechlessly, and then said, "It's not because you eat too much. Here, I use another na, I don't want people to know my real identity! And you, you're too conspicuous. If you stay with , you will inevitably be discovered. Do you understand what I an?"
Gao Yingjun scratched his head, saying, "I understand. My physique…is indeed taller and stronger than most. Wherever I go, people will point at . But, but I want to follow you, I don't want to stay on this Prairie!"
Speaking of this, Gao Yingjun said with a yearning look, "I heard that whether it's Great Qi or Great Xia, the cities are all very prosperous, I want to let my mother experience it..."
"Your mother?" Chu Mo looked at Gao Yingjun: "Tell about it."
Gao Yingjun stopped talking. His enormous fra and clanking chains resonated as he walked on the Prairie, like a large silent beast. Few people knew that inside a beast like him, lay a sensitive and fragile heart.
After a long ti, he finally said, "My mother… is the most beautiful, kindest, and gentle woman in this world! She originates from Great Xia. Back then, she followed her father's caravan on the Prairie and encountered bandits. Those damn bandits not only stole the caravan's goods but killed all the n and seized all the won."
"Those bandits were from Elder Haoyue. My mother was very beautiful, so those bandits...they presented my mother to Elder Haoyue."
"After forcefully taking possession of my mother, Elder Haoyue...he fed her a barren potion, prohibiting her from ever bearing children. Thereafter, he casually sent my mother to one of his subordinates."
Chu Mo couldn't help but sigh softly. He wanted to console Gao Yingjun but did not know what to say.
"Afterward, my mother lived with that man. On the surface, he treated her well, but he had a bad temper. Because of the barren potion Elder Haoyue fed my mother, she could not give birth. So, whenever that man was drunk, he would always beat my mother. One day, she couldn't take it anymore and ran away, and that's when she found on the Prairie."
"You're an orphan?" Chu Mo seed surprised as he glanced at Gao Yingjun.
Gao Yingjun nodded his head and then continued, "Yes, I don't know who my parents are. My mother told when she found , I was only wrapped in a blanket, with nothing else."
"Probably… because I have been ugly since I was young, I was abandoned…"
Gao Yingjun's face revealed a sense of sorrow.
Chu Mo shook his head: "You're not ugly, although you're a bit dark, you have thick eyebrows and big eyes. If your body was the sa size as a normal person, you'd be considered handso."
"Hehe, that's what my mother said too, so she nad Yingjun (handso)." Gao Yingjun scratched his head and smiled awkwardly.
"So, what happened next? How did you end up like this?" Chu Mo asked.
Gao Yingjun sighed, his face darkened, his eyes flashed a cold light, he said coldly, "It was that beast, Elder Haoyue!"
"When I was very young, I was completely different from normal children. I had an exceptional appetite, I ate a lot, grew really fast. At first, my mother thought this was normal, but very soon, my mother realized this was not normal at all."
Gao Yingjun gave a bitter smile: "When I was three years old, I could lift a heavy stone weighing over a hundred pounds; when I was five, I was already as tall as an adult, and my strength was even greater than that of an adult. I have beaten many adults at wrestling."
"My mother feared that if this continued, I would cause great trouble. So she taught to read and write, hoping that I could beco a person of knowledge and reason…rather than a barbarian controlled only by strength!"
Chu Mo responded, "Your mother was indeed wise!"
"Yes, she was very wise, and very noble. She taught not to harbor hatred in my heart, otherwise I would be blinded by hatred and lose my sanity." Gao Yingjun spoke of his mother with a tender gaze: "Those days were the happiest of my life."
"Sadly, the good days did not last long. The man my mother had found had always thought of as a monster, who possessed inexhaustible strength, grew too quickly, and ate too voraciously. Plus, because of , he did not dare to beat my mother anymore because I wouldn't allow it!"
"So, he told Elder Haoyue about . That old beast, once he heard about , imdiately thought that if I was placed on the battlefield, I could surely have an unforeseen effect. Subsequently, he sent soone to conscript ."
"I was only eight years old then. My mother did not agree to it. She knew that Elder Haoyue was the culprit who killed my maternal grandfather and the one behind her downfall. Of course, she refused. However, when Elder Haoyue himself ca to inspect my condition, he beheaded my mother…"
As Gao Yingjun spoke, tears stread from his large eyes, "Even when she was dying, my mother kept hold of Elder Haoyue's clothes and did not let go!"
Chu Mo sighed, "No wonder when I said I wanted to deal with Elder Haoyue, you readily agreed so quickly. It's because of this?"
"Yes, my mother told not to fill my heart with hatred, but I couldn't do it!" Gao Yingjun sobbed. "I hate that old beast, hate him for killing my mother, I wish I could tear him to pieces!"
