Seeking Survival at the Bottom of the Well
The reason Xin Yun despised those boys was not just because they had occupied his spot, nor was it because they threw him to the ground. The truth was… their evil was far beyond what most people could even imagine.
This current disaster had only just begun. The village had been attacked a while ago. Aside from the children who had been hidden in the bottom of this well, all the other villagers had been killed. Even if the enemies had left, they had no way to escape the well.
There was no way he would remember incorrectly. They would end up living in the bottom of the well for over half a month. In the beginning, things were fine. As time progressed, and the food and water ran out, those four boys actually did something outrageous.
The opening of the well was not wide, but the bottom had a considerably large area. The area was large enough to accommodate eight children without feeling cramped. Of the eight children, five were boys and three were girls. All were around seven or eight years old, while the boys may seem big and tall, they were only seven years old. Relatively speaking, the children of this world mature earlier and their bodies are more robust.
According to Xin Yun’s memories, it would be on the seventh day that these four evil kids would attack the three girls. They would hold them down and drink the blood from their wrists until two of the girls ended up dying. Yi Luo Xiang was the only girl that ended up surviving; however, because she had lost a significant amount of blood, she suffered from shock. Being able to survive in the end was definitely a miracle!
As for Xin Yun, Xin Yun was fortunate to have found a rock and kept it close to his person and was not attacked by those three. After all… no matter how strong those boys were, they could not beat someone with a rock.
Now, since Xin Yun had been reborn, he would not allow such a thing to happen again. In the past, he might not have been able to beat those four much-stronger boys, but things were different this time. Although his current body was just as weak, his many years of cultivation were not wasted. He may have lost his strength, but his skill alone would be enough to beat those four shitty kids.
Xin Yun also wanted to act now and beat those four half to death, but he did not dare act this way. Imagine… once he really did this, how would Yi Luo Xiang see him?
A beating was needed, but his actual options, he needed to choose wisely. He had to wait for the four kids acted first, but also before they succeeded. Otherwise, Xin Yun feared that he would leave an impression of being petty, cruel and ruthless to Yi Luo Xiang. Xin Yun would rather die than see that happen.
While thinking, Xin Yun followed Yi Luo Xiang back to where the girls were. Relatively speaking, this area was fairly dry unlike the area in the middle, which was quite muddy. When Xin Yun and Yi Luo Xiang arrived, the other two girls were working hard to remove moss from wall of the well and throwing it on to the muddy ground, in hopes of drying the ground.
Seeing this scene, Xin Yun quickly rushed forward. What sort of joke was this. This moss was their only hope of surviving the upcoming half-month long survival challenge. This moss was a life-saving thing, yet they were wasting it. What would they eat in the future?
Quickly bending over, Xin Yun picked up the moss that was in the mud. Thankfully, the two girls had only just begun picking at the moss and had not removed too much, so he quickly picked up all the pieces.
Looking at the moss in both hands, Xin Yun pondered a moment. He removed his trousers and tied up both legs before tossing the moss in.
Not finished, Xin Yun did not stop and removed all the moss from the wall of well and tossed them in his trousers.
It was important to know, there was not much moss on the walls at the bottom of the well. Furthermore, it only grew on one side of the well. Not a single piece could be wasted. After a working for an unknown period of time, finally… Xin Yun had filled his trousers and undershirt with moss, and… Xin Yun reached out with both hands and dug a hole in the mud then placed the trousers and undershirt full of moss in to the hole. In the dark, the girls had no clue what he was doing, thus the boys on the other side were even more clueless.
Having collected all the moss, Xin Yun comfortably laughed. With this moss, the problem of sustenance could be considered resolved. As for the problem of water, it should rain tomorrow and then again on the ninth day. The most difficult days were between the first and second rainfalls. It was during that time that those four guys committed their evil deeds.
Not wanting to over-exert himself, Xin Yun sat down and leaned against the wall of the well. Although the three girls did not say anything, Xin Yun consciously sat a bit further away from them. After all… seven and eight year old children already knew the differences between men and women.
It was worth knowing that for the following half month everyone would need to live at the bottom of the well. Although there was the problem of food, the number of problems that had to be addressed were not many. But it was still inconvenient.
At that moment, the four boys, the three girls and Xin Yun resided at the twelve o’clock, four o’clock and eight o’clock positions respectively.
Sitting on the muddy ground where he buried his moss, his body was quite comfortable, but he always felt something was missing. Xin Yun patted his head and quietly stood up. Following his memories, he felt his away around.
Sure enough, after feeling around on the wall of the well for ten-odd minutes, Xin Yun found that rock in his memories. Pulling on it, a rock the thickness of his wrist came out. It was a rock around twenty centimeters long that had been pulled out. This would be Xin Yun’s temporary weapon!
Holding the rock in his right hand, Xin Yun tried using some of his strength, yup… it fit his hand quite well. After he whittled it down a bit, it would definitely be capable of doing terrible damage. Its weight was also very good, and the hardest thing to come by was that the tip was very sharp. It wouldn’t do too much less damage than a metal weapon, as long as the right amount of strength was used, hehe…
Secretly holding the rock, Xin Yun returned to his hidden stash of moss. After practicing some basics for a while, he did not dare to continue exhausting his energy. Sitting atop the moss, he leaned his back against the wall of the well. After finishing up everything that had to be done, there were many things that had to be carefully pondered.
Given the rare opportunity to be reborn, he had to carefully plan out his life. Since he already knew many things ahead of time, the things he could do increased significantly. If he did not properly sort out the order of things, he worried he would miss out on many opportunities that he would regret to death.
Before drawing up the blueprint for his new life, the first thing he had to do was review his previous life. He had to determine what went poorly, so that he would not repeat those mistakes. If he did not, then even if he had been reborn, then there would not be too many differences from his previous life.
First to be evaluated was women. Although he did not conduct a proper investigation, it was very obvious that those who succumbed to their carnal desires could not become proper experts, especially not one of the nine top experts. Before they broke through, all had maintained their virgin bodies. Even after they broke through, they did not succumb to their carnal desires.
Thinking to that point, Xin Yun’s face suddenly sunk. The so-called breakthrough, even at its fastest, happened at twenty years old. Those that were slower broke through at thirty. Those that did not breakthrough before thirty would breakthrough to the next level.
Although the nine top experts represented the standard for the strongest in the world at the time. It did not represent the pinnacle of strength. It was very likely that it was just another level, but if he couldn’t even breakthrough, then was there any need to discuss anything past that?
Abstinence! At least before he broke through. He had to endure complete abstinence. This was a ban Xin Yun imposed on himself. If he wanted to quickly experience the delights of the female body again, he would need to practice like crazy. The sooner he broke through, the sooner he could partake; otherwise, he could only bear with it.
Of course, even if he broke through to the next level, it did not mean he could succumb to his carnal desires. He had learned and understood a great deal from his previous life. Those that toyed with emotions would have their emotions toyed with. If you had many women at once, then there was no way to have a woman who truly belonged to you. Even if you could have her body, you could not have her soul, nor her love!
Carnal desires although pleasure-inducing, but after all, it was far from the beauty of true love. Although Xin Yun did not know what true love was, and he had never experienced anything like true love, there was something he knew for certain. Yi Luo Xiang was the woman he loved the most. For her… he truly give up anything. Even if it meant giving up all other women, he would do so willingly!
