Chapter 265 - Ado, Asi, and Afa

The potatoes were finally finished.

[System Notification: Mission completed 2/10.]

After that, he helped them clean up the entire prison.

[System Notification: mission completed 3/10.]

After that, he helped them wash their clothes.

[System Notification: Mission completed 4/10.]

He also had to help them heat their bath water up.

[System Notification: Mission completed 5/10.]

In the end, he still had to help them cook dinner.

This was difficult for Li Yi.

He had no way to share the food brought out from the Carefree Station with them.

[System Notification: Mission completed 6/10.]

He was almost done. Even so, the mission was not completed.

Li Yi had been busy all day, taking care of these two lazy fellows like a nanny.

He felt extremely aggrieved. After all, he was the president of the first raking station.

Who would have thought that he would actually work here as a nanny.

If it was not for the reward, he would never work this hard. Unfortunately, they had a reward, so he could only work without complaint.

There was no news about the next mission.

Li Yi was not in a hurry. It would not be difficult anyway. He just had to wait for one or two more days. After Li Yi was done, he went offline to rest.

When it was time, he would come back online to continue.

Today, when they arrived at the place, Ado and Asi had a change of clothes.

The two of them looked very clean and tidy.

Li Yi was very clear about the clothes they were wearing.

They were the most precious clothes they owned. Usually, no matter how sloppy they were, the two sets of clothes they had were still as clean as ever. They were locked in the cabinet. Even if there was a bit of dust, the two of them would clean it up.

They only wore them at this time of the year. Only at this time of the year did the two of them walk out of the prison. They went together to the small tombstone not far from the top of the mountain.

There was the grave of their brother, Alpha.

At that time, Alpha and the two of them used the identity of a tailor to cheat others for food and drink.

In the end, they were both imprisoned in this prison.

Unfortunately, Alpha could not wait for their return. He passed away while they were in prison.

Therefore, each year, they would leave the prison for Alpha. Alpha’s grave was buried here early in the morning. Alpha was their only family member.

In this world, the three people who did not have anything had been relying on each other, making a living by cheating and swindling.

Especially after the incident with the City Lord, they had nowhere else to go.

Today, Addo and Asi were walking forward. Behind them was Li Yi, who was carrying a large basket of potatoes.

The three of them came to the grave of Alpha. There was nothing around them, not even a single blade of grass.

Only some weeds that grew on the grave of Alpha.

Addo and Asi had serious expressions. They carefully pulled out the weeds on Alpha.

After they were done, they wiped the soil off their hands with a cloth that they had prepared earlier and put on their coats again.

Then, they asked Li Yi to throw the potatoes on the ground.

Li Yi gently put the potatoes on the ground. Then, he retreated to the side.

The two of them took out a bottle of half-empty red wine from somewhere and took one sip after another. Then, they poured a bit of it onto the ground.

“Okay, okay Alpha can’t drink too much. We still have to save it for next year.”

Ado glanced at the remaining wine. There was only next year’s portion left. Then, he put it away.

The two of them stood in front of the grave without saying a word.

They stood like this for a long time.

Li Yi watched from the side for a long time.

Li Yi was very clear about the feelings of these three people. This kind of feeling had long surpassed that of just being friends.

They regarded each other as family, and they were the only ones they had in this world.

To be honest, Li Yi was a little envious.

At present, he was sometimes no different from being alone. There were not many people who could always be by his side, and there were even fewer people who could tell him the secrets in their hearts.

He felt alone in this world, fighting for the goal in his heart.

[System Notification: Mission completed 7/10.]

Li Yi did not pay attention to the system notification. Right now, he only wanted to accompany these two brothers and pay respect to Alpha.

Soon, it was already dark. Ado and Asi had also returned to the prison.

The rest of the matter could only be continued tomorrow.

Li Yi went offline and waited until noon the next day before coming back online.

Returning to the place, Li Yi woke up Ado and Asi who were still sleeping.

“If there’s anything else, hurry up.”

“Ah, what’s the rush? Today’s task is very simple. Repair Alpha’s grave.”

“Okay.”

After Li Yi heard Ado’s words, he left.

After this task was done, there were only two things left on the list.

This long mission was finally about to come to an end. Li Yi bought materials from the city and spent money to hire a group of workers. Soon, Alpha’s cemetery became more and more presentable.

[System Notification: Mission completed 8/10.]

After he was done, Li Yi went to find Ado and urged him for the next mission.

Ado gave him a letter and asked him to deliver it to the City Lord’s mansion.

Li Yi rode on Fire and left. When he arrived at the City Lord’s mansion, Li Yi handed the letter to the City Lord face to face.

The City Lord was the son of the prior City Lord that had been deceived before. After many years, he finally took over his father.

He had long forgotten about Ado and Asi.

The City Lord was unwilling to accept this letter. He was afraid that there was a trap. These two criminals had written to him for no reason, so naturally, he felt that it was a little strange.

Li Yi had no choice but to read the letter for him.

“Dear City Lord, we are the fashion designers who had deceived your father, Ado and Asi. We are truly sorry about what we had done previously. Here, we would like to express our sincere apologies to you. During this period of time in prison, we have gradually understood what we had done previously had caused great harm to your father. During this period of time in prison, we have reflected on our actions. We believe that this is god’s punishment for our evil deeds, we are willing to accept such punishment, and we will never leave this prison. I hope that you can forgive us for the harm we have done to your father. I also hope that you will never meet someone like ever again. Yours sincerely.”

Li Yi finished reading the letter. The City Lord just nodded and let Li Yi leave. He did not care about these two people at all, and of course, he did not care about this letter.

[System Notification: Mission completed 9/10.]

Li Yi returned to the prison, and there was only one mission left.

He found Ado. Ado’s face was a little bleak, but he still maintained his smile. He mentioned that he had not seen Asi for the whole day.

“Quick, tell me the last mission.”

“Oh, you’re back. This is the last mission. Please follow me.”

Ado did not say much and brought Li Yi to Asi’s room.

Asi was lying on the bed in the room, motionless. Li Yi knew that Asi was not breathing.

“The last mission, I got it.”

Li Yi went forward and carried Asi’s body. He went to Alpha’s grave and buried him next to Alpha.

Ado followed Li Yi without saying a word. After Li Yi was done, he took out a small box from behind and handed it to Li Yi.

“This is your reward. You can leave now. Please allow me to stay here for a while.”

After saying that, Ado took out the remaining red wine and gave himself a sip. Then, he poured the rest of the wine in front of their tombstones.

He just sat there and did not say anything else.

[System Notification: Mission completed.]

[System Notification: Mission reward obtained.]

Li Yi felt a little uncomfortable from all this. In the end, he left this prison that was not really a prison… but a home.
