Yu Siqiu clearly remembered how happy they were on the day Yu Zhuangren awakened his superpowers.

At that time, several people in the village had awakened their special abilities, including "strength", "speed", and "water source", each of which was a very useful ability.

Yu Zhuangren was extremely envious and often said to him, "Siqiu, it would be great if I could also awaken that kind of extremely strong superpower. Then I would be able to protect you."

Later, Yu Zhuangren really awakened his supernatural powers.

That night, Yu Zhuangren was very excited and walked around his house, reinforcing everything. It was really magical that with just a touch of his finger, he could turn everything into stone.

He followed behind Yu Zhuangren, smiling and joking: "Renzi, you better be careful, don't turn my little cow into stone, otherwise you won't be able to drink milk tomorrow."

Yu Zhuangren also laughed when he heard this, "Hahaha, if your little cow really turned into a stone cow, you can use a big pot to boil it and let me taste whether it tastes like stone or meat, hahahahaha..."

The two chatted and laughed, and spent the night wandering around the house reinforcing all the guardrails and mud walls, still very excited.

Yu Zhuangren had used up all his strength, so the two of them sat on the ground, chatting and playing with dirt balls like they did when they were kids.

He rolled out one earth ball after another, and arranged them neatly in several rows of different sizes. When Yu Zhuangren's strength recovered, he used his supernatural powers to turn all the earth balls into stone balls.

The two of them collapsed on the ground, looking at the slowly rising sun. Yu Zhuangren said, "Siqiu, take these stone balls I made for you outside tomorrow and place them in a few circles by the wall of your house. That way, if any zombies come to your house, they will step on the stone balls and trip, and you will be safer."

Zombies have no brains and won't go around roadblocks. If they step on the stone balls, they will keep slipping, so there's no need to worry about them gathering together and stacking up to climb over the wall.

"Okay." Yu Siqiu nodded, and then asked, "What about your family? You gave all these to me, what will happen to your family?"

"My home?"

Yu Zhuangren smiled proudly: "I can run faster than you, and now I have awakened my superpowers, so I am not afraid of those zombies."

He patted Yu Siqiu's shoulder, looking melancholy like an elder, "When will you be able to awaken your superpowers? Then I'll have less to worry about. Otherwise, if you're chased by zombies, I'll have to save you. Oh, I'm so tired, so tired."

"Ha, screw you, I'm not as weak as you say."

"Okay, okay, you're the best, right? When you become the village chief, I won't do anything. I'll just lie down all day and let you take care of me."

"Okay, I will definitely take care of you. I will tie you to a stool and tickle the soles of your feet with chicken feathers every day, hehe..."

The breathing sound beside his ear gradually became steady, and Yu Siqiu called out softly, "Renzi?"

Yu Zhuangren didn't answer, he fell asleep.

The crowing of a rooster announced the arrival of a new day. The sunlight shone on Yu Zhuangren's face, but he seemed unaware and was still sleeping soundly.

The old village chief opened the door and walked out. Seeing the two men lying on their backs in the yard, he hurriedly invited them to come into the house.

Yu Siqiu pulled the old village chief up and showed him around the house, "Dad, Renzi has awakened his special powers and can turn things into stone! Look, look at these, they were all made by him!"

The village chief nodded and said with a smile: "Zhuang Ren is a good boy."

He seemed to be thinking about something, and then he said, "I will tell everyone about his awakening ability in a while, and let him build a wall for our village. When the time comes, as long as he helps the village overcome the difficulties, I will make an exception and add him to our family tree, and make him your brother. What do you think?"

"Ah?" Yu Siqiu hesitated: "Will that be very hard? Renzi uses a lot of energy using his supernatural powers. He already..."

"Silly boy." The village chief smiled helplessly and patted Yu Siqiu on the shoulder. "Zhuang Ren, that kid, has a hard life..."

"He has no parents and wanders around the village every day. Although the villagers feel sorry for him, they also look down on him."

"Let's take this opportunity to ask him to help the village. By then, the village will owe him a favor, and his life will naturally be better. Then, he will be accepted into our family and it will be easier for him to find a wife in the future."

Everyone in the village knew that Yu Zhuangren's father was a notorious jerk who drank, gambled, and beat people up. He even went to other people's weddings and funerals to make trouble, and when he was drunk he would urinate in the well in other people's yards.

Everyone in the village disliked him, so he simply picked up a woman from outside and married her. It was said that she ran away from another village, was crazy, and was mute.

After giving birth to Yu Zhuangren, the crazy woman drowned in the river. A few years later, Yu Zhuangren's father also drank too much and fell into the river.

The village chief decided to sell his family's land and distribute the money to several families in the village, asking them to take turns to take care of Yu Zhuangren. Only then did he barely grow up safely.

"Over the years, I have always seen that Zhuang Ren is a good person. The affairs of the previous generation should not involve children. Life is not easy. The world is so chaotic now. It will be easier for him to live with his family."

The old village chief sighed quietly and made the best plan he could for Yu Zhuangren.

......

When Yu Siqiu thinks of these things now, it feels like a lifetime ago.

The past was chaotic and people’s hearts were complicated, making it difficult to distinguish right from wrong.

But what can they do now?

No matter what Yu Zhuangren was thinking, he had indeed killed his father, and there was no way to refute it.

Their friendship has completely ended here. Just by telling each other things that the other person doesn't know, they won't be able to untie the knot and pretend that nothing happened.

So in the end, Yu Siqiu said nothing.

He looked at Yu Zhuangren, who was almost insane and desperate. A feeling of powerlessness swept over his body. He lowered his head and no longer looked at Yu Zhuangren.

Yu Siqiu didn't intend to tell Yu Zhuangren about the old village chief's plan.

The dead are gone, the past is like dust, let it go with the wind.
