Iron Snow Clouds

Chapter 1493 New Shoes

That day, Qi Cunzheng deliberately found a mirror at home, looked at himself in the mirror and started crying.

When his mother saw this, she asked him some questions and told him, "I really think you are pretty! It is wrong to laugh at someone's appearance, and it is even more wrong to bully them because of that! Remember, the ones who are wrong are the ones who bully you, not you!"

Qi Cunzheng remembered what his mother said. Such words made him strong, but they did not save him from continued bullying.

After a while, he found that he began to repeat some things all the time, and he felt uncomfortable if he didn't do them. For example, when opening the door, if he felt something was wrong, he would close the door and open it again, as if this could relieve some of his stress.

Later, one day, Qi Cun was walking on the road wearing the new shoes his mother had made for him. Two children deliberately pushed him down, took off his shoes, and took them away. He saw clearly who took them. The two children were people he knew, but he didn't know where they lived.

After Qi Cunzheng stood up, the two children ran away. He was barefoot and couldn't catch up with them, so he went home.

On the way, it started to rain heavily and he returned home barefoot.

His mother asked him why he was barefoot.

He said he accidentally lost his shoes.

His mother knew that he was not telling the truth, so she kept asking him.

Qi Cunzheng had just told the two children how they had snatched his new shoes away.

His mother happened to know where the two children lived and also knew the adults in their families, so she wanted to go look for them.

It had just stopped raining and it was getting dark. When his mother was about to go out, she asked him to light a torch for her.

After Qi Cun lit the torch, he learned that his mother was going out because of the two kids who had stolen his new shoes. He didn't want his mother to go, so he said to her, "Don't go!" and wanted to put out the torch.

However, his mother was in a hurry to go out, and he didn't have time to extinguish the torch. His mother grabbed the torch and went out, telling him to wait for her at home and not to go out.

Qi Cun was feeling a strong sense of uneasiness and chased after her. He felt that even if his mother wanted to go, he had to extinguish the torch first and then light it again, otherwise something terrible would happen.

However, her mother knew that Qi Cunzheng sometimes did the same thing repeatedly, so she thought he was going to do meaningless actions again, so she didn't give him the torch and let him go back.

After his mother left, Qi Cun was a little anxious in the room. He always felt that if he had put out the torch quickly before, his mother would not be able to go out immediately. If she could not go out immediately, she might change her mind the next moment and decide not to go. Moreover, even if his mother insisted on going, she should wait for him to put out the torch first and then relight it, and wait until he felt that something terrible was going to happen before going. If he lit the torch once and the feeling did not disappear, he would light it again, until he no longer felt that something terrible was going to happen, and then go.

Just after dark that day, his mother met a group of people from Tiecangting on the road who were hacking some men in blue armor with knives.

At this moment, a strong wind suddenly blew and it started to rain, and his damn torch was extinguished by the rain.

Under the pitch-black sky, the sound of wind, rain, and screams all seemed to tell the sadness of the world. Blood and rain mixed together, flowing with the cruelty of the world.

Two men in blue armor tried their best to resist, while those who came out of Tiecang Ting swung their swords even more frantically.
