Abyss of ignorance

Chapter 285 The Boss
I don't know if it was a coincidence, a few drunkards lit a raging bonfire not far from the Yusheng shop, holding wine bottles and singing out of tune songs to the flames that were flying higher than people.This is a wild corner in the cracks of the city, a place of exile before dawn.

This bonfire reminded Lin Xiaodong of the figure on the opposite side of the fire. This person saved his life. I don't know whether he represents light or darkness.

The fish shop arrived soon. The boss was cleaning up the messy fish stall outside. When he saw Ye Mi, he stopped what he was doing, took off his rubber apron, and washed his hands in a hurry.

The bonfire was not far away, and the firelight reflected the fish-killing stall and the boss's muscular body dripping with sweat. Lin Xiaodong suddenly stopped stumbling.

This fish stall owner who he never cared about, at this moment, for the first time, he couldn't take his eyes away, because this person was so similar to that indistinguishable figure.

Whether it's height, lines or stance, they all fit perfectly.

Just when Lin Xiaodong was in a trance, the boss had already arrived in front of them. He said to Ye Miumi: "Boss, you are here."

Lin Xiaodong was even more surprised. This was the first time he heard Ye Miumi being called "boss".

"Huh? Why did he call you boss?" Lin Xiaodong asked Ye Mi.

Before Ye Miumi could answer, the man had already answered in a rough voice: "Because she is the owner of this store."

"No wonder." Lin Xiaodong seemed to have figured out something and said to Ye Miumi, "So you were the one who directed him to do all this?"

Ye Mihi turned around, and in the light and shadow of the bonfire, she saw Lin Xiaodong tilting his head, with an animal-like expression, as if he was ignorant of the world: "Have you fallen into the trap of your own thinking again?"

"I can basically confirm that he..." Lin Xiaodong pointed firmly at Boss Yu, "he is the one who shoots arrows!"

When Boss Yu heard this, his eyes suddenly opened wide in his deep eye sockets, and he strode in front of Lin Xiaodong. The strong smell of fish hit him, making Lin Xiaodong cough twice.

"Are you sure you can see clearly?!" His voice was close to a growl, and the fire reflected in his eyes seemed to burst from the bottom of his heart. This is an aura that can kill people.

Although Lin Xiaodong was injured, he did not give in. He looked directly into his eyes and said, "Why? Are you so restless? You saved my life. I'm not here to punish you."

However, Lin Xiaodong couldn't understand what Boss Yu said next. He said to himself: "How is he? He looks a lot like me?"

"Huh? Him? Isn't that person you?" Lin Xiaodong asked in surprise.

For some reason, when Boss Yu heard this question, he suddenly smiled sadly and showed his right hand to Lin Xiaodong. In the flickering light of the fire, he saw that the top part of his right index finger was missing.

Needless to say, Lin Xiaodong understood that the man in front of him could not draw a bow with such hands.

"But you really look like the person I saw, mainly because of the way you stand and walk..." Lin Xiaodong fell into deep confusion, and then, as a habit, he cast his eyes on Ye Mimi.The night wind became fierce, and the sound of the river lapping against the shore, accompanied by the popping sound of burning wood, seemed to be urging an answer.

"Atu, I think Lin Xiaodong accidentally found the person you miss the most." Ye Mimi's clear voice came, soft but resounding, "People's first reaction is the most real, I want to take him today It was the right thing to come over.”

Ye Mihan said a few words, and the atmosphere between the two men who were at war with each other for no reason eased.

"So your name is Atu, right?" Lin Xiaodong said. He had been standing for a while, and his knees began to throb and hurt. It seemed like the sound of the tide on the river bank would never subside. He said this with gritted teeth.

A Tu didn't speak, he grabbed Lin Xiaodong's arm and placed it on his shoulder, while holding his waist with the other hand, he helped him walk towards the Yusheng shop.His strength was so great that Lin Xiaodong felt that he didn't even need to exert force on his feet, as if he was weightless.

Lin Xiaodong can be considered a strong man, but it is very easy for Atu.

Finally having a chair, Artu thoughtfully brought Lin Xiaodong a small stool to rest his injured knee.

There were no customers in the store anymore, and the noisy drunkards outside finally began to calm down, as if it was destined to be a serious conversation.

"I think I will hear a good story later this night?" Lin Xiaodong looked at Atu, who had a vicissitudes of life on his face, and said.

Ye Zhizhi sat in the seat that belonged to her, while Artu sat uninhibitedly at the next table, holding the back of the chair with one hand, looking at Lin Xiaodong who was covered in scratches, as if he had a lot of questions: "You see me Brother?" He spoke, and at first glance his tone sounded rude. After careful analysis, he realized that the rudeness was due to his accent, not his attitude.

"I can only say that the man I saw looked quite similar to you, but I didn't see the face." Lin Xiaodong said honestly.

"He can shoot archery and looks like me. This is my brother." Atu was extremely confident.

Lin Xiaodong looked at Ye Miumi, who had been silent, and asked for help: "Why don't you first help introduce who this handsome boss is?"

"Atu, I saved it from Lin Zhengyang." Ye Miushi said, "At that time, it was just because I found that he and I came from a similar place. I came back from the snowy region, and he was from western Sichuan. I saw his We knew from that moment that we could understand each other. And Atu’s experience was more tragic than mine.”

After hearing this, Artu lowered his eyes, as if he didn't want others to see the emotion in his eyes.

"The young Atu and his younger brother were kidnapped to Linzhou by someone who, like Fat Yu, was a fan of Lin Zhengyang. Atu was the sharpshooter of their tribe, and Lin Zhengyang tricked him into training A Tu believed in some people who were said to be used for competitions in the wetlands. It was not until later that he discovered that these people were killing machines trained by Lin Zhengyang.

Atu wanted to resist, but Lin Zhengyang took away his young brother as a threat to force him to submit. He was unwilling to lose his brother, let alone kill innocent people, so he cut off a section of his finger, which was used to pull the bowstring. He was no longer the tribe's marksman after that.For Lin Zhengyang, he has also lost his due value. "Ye Miumi spoke about Atu in the simplest language, but Lin Xiaodong was still deeply shocked.

"I was about to be thrown into that dirty swamp, but the boss pleaded with that person and saved me." As Atu said, after listening to his words a few times, he could find that the accent came from a far away place .
