"Gu Moyan, don't think that I wouldn't know about you sneaking into my house. "Pfft, if I see you again in the future, I'll bite you with my dog."

In the smoke rising from the hills, the houses were in order, and there were piles of grass in front of each house — just in case. Behind these piles of grass, a few boys around seven to eight years old were curled up on the ground, kicking and punching. Standing in front of them, there was a fat child whose punches were even heavier.

The boy under their feet was dressed in rags, his arms were bruised from broken sleeves, and his skinny body was trembling. Sometimes he would be beaten by them and would even moan slightly, but he knew that if he cried out or fought back, he would be met with worse injuries.

He had not eaten anything for a long time, and getting a meal in exchange for a beating was worth it. As Gu Moyan thought of this, his dirty little face revealed that he was having a good time.

Fortunately, the boys who hit him didn't notice, "Gu Moyan, go back there. We don't welcome you here."

Another little boy stood out and said. He knew Gu Moyan was not from here, but she was picked up one year by an old lady by the river and died a few days later. Of course, these were all words spoken by the adults.

Of course, they didn't know how to eat it. Sometimes, their parents would whisper something in their ears, and they would then believe Gu Moyan even more.

The adults here often heard these words, but seeing that Gu Moyan did not react, they decided to follow these kids and take them for a joke.

Gu Moyan was just an orphan. He knew, as did everyone in the village, that he had no right to be here.

The smile on Gu Moyan's face disappeared without a trace. A tear quietly rolled down the corner of his eye and fell onto the ground. The other boys who had hit him also dispersed, leaving only Mo Yan trembling in a corner. No one cared about him.

Above them, Gu Mo stood in the air, watching the bullying.

Gu Mo watched the scene from a distance, but it seemed as if the pain was hitting his own body.

Gu Moyan?

Was he a child? It seemed that none of the children gathered together earlier looked better than Gu Moyan. It wasn't the kind of beauty that would normally appear as an adult, but a type of purity that belonged to a child. Even with her small face darkened, it was not difficult to see her pair of bright eyes.

It was only because of this pair of eyes and somewhat good-looking appearance that he was able to experience such a turning point.

In the evening, the sky gradually darkened. Gu Moyan trembled as she stood up. Smelling the fragrance wafting towards her, she swallowed a mouthful of saliva as a rumbling sound came from her stomach.

He covered his stomach as if shyly, then looked around. When he realized that there was no one around, he slowly walked out of the corner.

As the moonlight lengthened his shadow, he also reached the village entrance.

This village was close to the mountain ridge, perhaps he could follow this small path up the mountain. Without these bad kids and those who didn't bully him, he could still find something to eat.

Gu Moyan was only thinking of a good place. If he knew that there was such a ferocious thing on the mountain, he wouldn't have thought of such a thing.
