Chapter 66: Hao ChengYong part 2

Why is my father bleeding...? I don't understand. Why did the soldiers cut him? My father was strict but he is a very good person. He would never do something bad. And... mom.. why are you crying? We need to quickly take dad to the doctor!

Hao ChengYong ran to his father with wobbly steps. The soldiers didn't stop him. He quickly try to pick his father up but his father was an adult man, while he was still a child. It's impossible to do so.

"Mom! Quickly! Pick dad up with me! We need to quickly go to the doctor!" Hao ChengYong shouted.

The soldiers who saw that he was struggling add laughed or sneered.

One of them steps out and howls happily. " Yo kid! Your dear dad is dead! You don't have to call the doctor! So stupid, that's why a fool raised an idiot is always right. Haha- he's dead as hell, I bet he is going to hell and get punished."

Hao ChengYong's eyes widen in disbelief he look toward his mother in hopes she would deny it. But she just cried, she couldn't say anything.

Hao ChengYong stare at his father, hoping he would at least breathe. But he wasn't... he look back at his mother, just as he started to cry. The soldiers behind her grabbed her hair and smiled. He groped her and whistle. He laughed as magus mother struggled to get off her. Hao ChengYong jumped up and rushed to kick that soldier. Kicking him on his crotch. The soldier howled and throw Hao's mother on the floor.

"Ouch! You dam rat!" The soldier unshielded his sword. Hao ChengYong quickly got up to run away but he wasn't fast enough. Hao's mother rushed to Hao ChengYong. Hugging him. The sword cut down.

'Splat.'

Hao's mother coughed out. The blood rushed up to her throat. The soldier used his full strength. Compared to a commoner who only farmed, the soldiers had been trained to hold a sword. The soldier is vastly stronger than farmers.

The sword cut deep into her, she felt her bone crack. And indeed it did, the bone that is near the lungs have been broken, and is stabbing into her lungs. Making her have difficulty breathing, every breath hurts. And the sweet taste of her blood is overwhelming. She chokes as she breathed.

Tears run down her face, as she tried to say something to her son. Her lips moved as if she is saying something very important but in the end. No words came out of her mouth until she stopped breathing.

Hao ChengYong saw the world die in bloody red. His mother slide down slowly and hit the ground. He heard many waves of laughter surrounding him.

'Thud.'

It was loud as the day.

Hao ChengYong's head buzzed.

Hao ChengYong grabbed his head and wailed, screaming out his perplexity and disbelief.

"Why? Why?! Why!? Why?WHY?WHY? WHY?WHY? WHY?WHY? WHY?WHY? WHY?WHY? WHY?WHY? WHY DID THIS HAPPEN? why? WHY DID MY DAD DIE!? WASN'T EVERYTHING FINE THIS MORNING? Why!? WHY DID YOU KILL MY MOM!? YOU MONSTERS!!!!!AHHHH!!!!!!"

... it was the soldiers. The lord. The Citizens. The... The Qun Kingdom. Heh... he.. hehe.. ahahaha. Haha!

The buzzing in his head stopped. Instead, there was a click. A world in black and white appeared.

A name was in front of him.
