A Real Man Isn’t Afraid of a Little Demon

    Zhou Mu took Yu Chu to a room at the end of the third floor, then turned and left to go downstairs, leaving Yu Chu alone outside the heavy black lacquered door.

    The passage is very quiet, the door is not closed tightly, and you can hear faint conversations.

    "Dad, I really didn't allow it. That kid Li Wei is a coward. I have been entertaining guests downstairs all the time. I didn't know he wanted to do such a thing."

    When Yu Chu heard this, his eyes flashed in the darkness, he leaned over his upper body very lightly, and put his ears to the gap in the door.

    A dignified and low voice sounded: "Yu Feng, what's going on at Li Wei tonight, you know as well as I do. Did you send someone to lead Zhou Mu away? Li Wei? Got your permission? Did you send someone to put medicine in Yu Chu's water?"

    "Dad, I really—"

    "Usually you do some small things, I think it's fine to be innocuous and not to cause major troubles, but this time you want to destroy Yu Chu and the reputation of our Yu family!"

    The voice suddenly increased its volume, making it even more awe-inspiring, and the other person in the room suddenly stopped making a sound.

    "Yu Chu won't fight for what belongs to you, and you won't lose a single point, including the entire Yu family will be yours in the future, what are you doing against him like this? Yu Chu? The surname is Yu, it is my son, your brother, Li Wei only gave up a third of the profit, and you sold him, do you still have my father, or the Yu family?"

    There was a clapping of the table in the room, the clanging sound of the tea cup, and something fell to the floor and shattered. Yu Chu still held his breath and listened quietly outside the door.

    "Do you think it's just Yu Chu's business? Fortunately, it didn't have any impact tonight, otherwise, the Yu family will become the **** of others' jokes, and we will never raise our heads for the rest of our lives! You will also preside over the Yu family in the future, a person who can sell his younger brother for a three-point profit, will those partners continue to believe in you? Will the foundation of the Yu family be ruined in your hands?"

    After a few seconds of silence, there was a crisp slap in the face, followed by a plop on the ground: "Dad, I was wrong, I was narrow-minded and short-sighted, I was really wrong..."

    "I'm so busy every day, and I have to deal with these bad things. You mother and son should calm down in the future. Yu Chu's mother is gone, and he has never entered Yu's house, so he can't be a thorn in your side. ."

    "Dad, I know I'm wrong, I don't dare..."

    "Tonight this matter must be punished. You spend a month in the fort, and if you are not allowed to leave the fort and outlying islands, your mother will send it abroad, and you will not be allowed to return to China within six months. No mercy."

    "Dad, it's my own idea, not my mother's business—"

    "Again, she is not allowed to return to China for a year." The voice interrupted him coldly.

    “…Yes.”

    The two stopped talking, and footsteps came towards the door. As soon as Yu Chu stood up straight, the door was pulled open, and he met a tall and thin young man wearing golden glasses.

    This young man is the one who started to see off guests at the entrance of the hall. He is tall and thin, his eyes are long and narrow, and there is an obvious red mark on the face on the left side of his face, and he is embarrassed. He is the eldest son of the Yu family. Yu Feng.

    Yu Feng was stunned when he saw Yu Chu, and then guessed that he heard that he had just been slapped, and his face suddenly turned red, and even the slap mark was not so obvious. .

    He wanted to go out, but Yu Chu stood at the door and didn't move, blocking the way out.

    According to Yu Feng's usual temper, he would definitely push people aside rudely and teach him a few more lessons. But Yu Shiqing was in the room, and he could feel the two stern eyes behind him, so he just swallowed a few words from the gap between his teeth: "Brother, let me go."

    These words sounded calm, but behind the glasses were two cruel eyes.

    He waited for Yu Chu to murmur that it was okay, and then he bowed his head dumbly and stepped aside.

    —This lowly illegitimate child has always looked stupid, and he didn't even have the courage to look up at him.

    But what he didn't expect was that Yu Chu didn't respond when he heard these words, and he didn't step aside to make way out. He still stood at the door and looked at him.

    Is this frightened?

    He was half a head taller than Yu Chu, which blocked the light in the room and Yu Shiqing's eyes, and shrouded Yu Chu's thin figure in shadow. Just when he suppressed his impatience and was about to speak again, he saw Yu Chu's lips twitched very slowly.

    —It was a creepy smile, maliciousness spread from the corners of the slightly upturned mouth, and when it reached the bottom of the eyes, it flashed a light that was colder than ice thorns.

    Yu Feng felt cold all over at that moment, her heart trembled violently, and the image of a poisonous snake spitting a letter suddenly flashed through her mind, and she forgot what she wanted to say.

    But the smile quickly disappeared from Yu Chu's face, as fast as his illusion. The person in front of him still had those big watery eyes open, with the stupidity of not understanding anything, and the timidity of timidity.

    Yu Feng's heart was still beating wildly, but he suddenly realized that he was frightened by him, and he was suddenly angry and annoyed, and the volume couldn't help but increase: "I told you to step aside, didn't you hear? ?"

    "How did you talk to your brother?" Yu Shiqing in the room also said sharply.

    Yu Chu lowered his head and stepped aside to make way. After a pause for two seconds, Yu Feng finally didn't dare to say anything, just brushed past him and left.

    "Yu Chu, come in." Yu Shiqing said.

    Yu Chu obediently entered the room.

    "Close the door."

    Yu Chu closed the door again.

    Yu Shiqing is over 50 years old and looks very similar to Yu Feng, both with a thin face and narrow eyes, but his face is colder and harder, with two stern deep lines between his eyebrows ditch. At this time, he was sitting behind the large mahogany desk, watching Yu Chu slowly walk to the center of the room with a complicated mood, and then slowly raised his head to look at himself.

    This son looks like his dead mother, although the woman's appearance is not clear, but still remember the big eyes that are always timid. The temperament is also the same, always being silent and not knowing what he is thinking.

    Maybe there was nothing in that mind.

    "Yu Chu, Dad knows what happened tonight." After a moment of silence, Yu Shiqing said.

    Yu Chu looked at him quietly and did not speak.

    "Dad has already cleaned up Yu Feng in order to vent your anger, and will make it difficult for that Li Wei." Yu Shiqing picked up the tea on the table, lifted the lid of the cup, and gently swiped with the tea foam on top.

    He was waiting for Yu Chu to show a flattered expression and say something moved, but Yu Chu still looked at him like that, with no emotion on his face. Just a sneering smile flashed in his eyes, but when he fixed his eyes on it, he saw nothing but ignorance.

      , I will hate your brother from now on." Yu Shiqing continued.

    After he said this, he quietly observed Yu Chu, trying to find out if there was any dissatisfaction on his face. However, Yu Chu still had no expression and just stared at him.

    Yu Shi poured down the teacup and sighed silently, unable to say whether he was disappointed or relaxed. He unbuttoned the top button of his shirt, and a delicate gold chain slipped out of the shirt.

    The end of the gold chain is adorned with a small cross and a small gold hollow ball. The ball is very delicate, and the gold chain is pierced from the middle, but the cross looks very clumsy. It is carved out of wood, and the upper and lower ends are different in thickness and somewhat distorted.

    Yu Shiqing saw Yu Chu staring at his chest, so he took the two pendants with his hands and said, "Remember? This is my fortieth birthday, you and Xiaofeng A gift for me. Xiaofeng made a wish ball, and you carved a wood carving. Dad cherishes it very much and wears it on his body at any time, and has never taken it off for more than ten years."

    "Yes." Yu Chu replied vaguely.

    Yu Shiqing stared at the pendant, as if caught in a memory, and his eyes became more tender. After a while, he said: "Our family is doing serious business, but the tree is big and attracts the wind, and many people are staring at it, so you two brothers have to get along well and support each other. That's it, you are tired today. Go back to rest early."

    Yu Chu nodded to him, turned around and walked towards the door, just opened the door, when he heard Yu Shiqing say behind his back: "Do you have anything you want? Or do you have any requirements? ? Dad promised you."

    Yu Chu's back stopped, he pressed his tongue against his cheek, and showed his first smile in this room at the door.

    He maintained this expression, turned around, and said in a cheerful tone: "I want to leave the island and go to play elsewhere."

     When Yu Shi heard this, the warmth on his face flew away suddenly, and a heavy haze covered him. He stared at Yu Chu, his tone became cold and cold: "How many times do I have to repeat it? If you can't leave the island, just stay on the island and don't go anywhere. Don't think that Dad is too strict with you, this is all for the sake of Hello. Remember, if you raise the issue of the island in the future, you won't even have the chance to go out of the castle to the beach."

    Yu Chu heard clearly just now that he punished Yu Feng not to leave the island for a month, which means that if Yu Feng is not punished, he can usually leave the island.

    Why not?

    Yu Chu had a lot of doubts in his heart, but he knew he couldn't keep asking, so he turned around and went out the door silently.

    Back to his room on the second floor, he took a bath, closed his eyes and soaked in the bathtub, relaxed a little, and began to think about what happened today. It wasn't until the water was getting cold that I got up and put on a bathrobe, tied the straps loosely, wiped my hair with a towel, and went to the bedroom to turn on the TV.

    In the background sound of the news anchorwoman, he opened the curtains, and the wind of the summer night carried the saltiness of the sea water, driving away a bit of the dryness in his heart. The lights were not turned on in the room, and in the bright and dark light of the TV, he touched the deformed little knuckle, and sat on the windowsill with a sullen face.

    He doesn't know what the outside world is like, but he doesn't want to stay on the island like this. Everything is unclear now, and we can't act rashly. After we get to know this place, we can't think of leaving.

    Whoever stops him at that time will kill him.

    He was thinking to himself when he heard movement from a corner of the garden downstairs, someone talking, and muffled noises. He was very familiar with this voice. It was the sound of the whip rolling in the wind and falling heavily on the flesh.

    He looked there, and found a few figures standing in a small open space. With the dimly lit street lamp, he felt that the tallest one was Zhou Mu. In order to confirm, he turned off the TV and made the room completely dark, and the faces of the people in the garden suddenly became clear.

    One of them was Zhou Mu, who was naked at the moment, wearing only a pair of black trousers, facing the direction of Yu Chu. The short-sleeved T-shirt was placed on the flower branch next to it, revealing the hard and strong muscles of the chest and abdomen.

    He was standing with two people on the left and right, with one person behind him a few meters away, holding a long leather whip in his hand.

    Pop!

    The whip raised and fell, Yu Chu saw Zhou Mu's brows wrinkle at that moment, and the muscles all over his body tightened, but he still kept his eyes half down and said nothing.

    Yu Chu knew the pain of being beaten with a leather whip, it was a nightmare he could not shake away.

    After being beaten, she would not be able to get out of bed for three or two days, with a high fever and unconsciousness. After a group of children escaped from that place collectively, they never experienced the torture of the whipping again, but the whiplash, which was no longer visible, was like a brand in the depths of the skin. As soon as they heard the crackling sound, the stinging pain that pierced through the bones came to the fore. came out.

    The whip that beat Zhou Mu was thicker and stronger, the whip body was shiny, and every stroke resounded throughout the garden. But he only looked paler, and his body trembled slightly with the whipping of the whip. Other than that, he didn't see much reaction.

    At this moment, Zhou Mu suddenly raised his head and looked sharply at the window on the second floor.

    Yu Chu was sitting behind the window, and the first reaction was that he saw himself, and he would hide back in a conditioned reflex. As soon as his upper body leaned back, he realized that the light was turned off in the room, it was pitch black, and he should not be able to see anything, so he stopped the movement of continuing to lean back.

    After the five lashes, the people behind Zhou Mu stopped, panting and looking towards the gate, only then did Yu Chu notice that there was still a person standing there. He stood there with a smile on his face.

    But the words that came out of his mouth were not as kind as he looked.

    "Zhou Mu, the second young master was almost in danger today, the main responsibility lies in your dereliction of duty. The first young master and the gentleman are kind-hearted, and for the sake of your usual loyalty, only five lashes will be fined. Do you accept the punishment?"

    Yu Chu saw Zhou Mu slowly open his lips and said hoarsely, "Thank you sir, the eldest young master and Uncle Wu, I agree."

    He lowered his head halfway, the eyebrows blocked the light, the upper part of his face was hidden in the shadows, and only the outline of his tightly pursed lips and sharp chin could be seen.

    Uncle Wu smiled kindly, and said to the two next to him, "Why don't you help your brother Mu go back to rest?"

    The two responded, and hurriedly tried to touch Zhou Mu's arms, but he turned sideways to avoid them.

    He picked up the T-shirt draped on the flower branch and walked in the other direction alone. When he turned around, Yu Chu saw several crisscrossing welts on his back.

     time of light.

    Yu Chu returned to the room, closed the curtains, and turned on the lights in several rooms in this suite, including the bathroom and living room. Then in the bright light, he got into the quilt on the bed and fell asleep.
