Chapter 781: Seven hundred seventy-nine, Yhan Cheng
The afterglow of the setting sun shone upon the earth, as people who had been busy all day gradually wrapped up their work, hurrying home.
Cooking smoke curled up, and the scent of food wafted from the kitchens of each household.
Luo Shu and Lu Hanmo walked hand in hand in the Guard’s Members Courtyard. This had become a daily ritual for them.
"Why are you beating me? My dad is a Guard Member just like your dads!" a defiant voice came from ahead.
"Your dad is no longer a Guard Member, my mom said your dad is a traitor."
"My mom said the same thing, you should’ve been kicked out of the Guard District a long time ago."
"Beat him, let’s kill this little traitor!"
Six or seven boys, around eight to nine years old, pinned a boy of about seven or eight to the ground.
The young boy endured their punches with resolute and stubborn eyes, "You’re talking nonsense! My dad is not a traitor; my dad is a hero." His mother had told him his dad hadn’t come back not because he had betrayed them, but because his mission wasn’t finished yet.
Luo Shu looked up and saw, besides these children, several Guard’s Wives around, none of whom seemed inclined to intervene, merely going about their business and glancing over occasionally, as if they were all too accustomed to such scenes.
