Chapter 964 - 956 The Most Powerful
"So I’m afraid to come alone, and I don’t dare to bring anyone else over; they all treat me fiercely and often hit me for no reason," the small boy said.
The small boy swiftly tied the rope around his waist and handed the other end to Xiao Yifei, then he jumped down. Because the sand was slippery, he reached the bottom in an instant, and Xiao Yifei’s words of "Be careful" were barely out of his mouth before the boy was already down.
He then picked up some food nearby and signaled Xiao Yifei to pull him up. Although the small boy wasn’t heavy, the resistance from the sand made Xiao Yifei exhausted after pulling him up.
Opening the tightly packed cardboard box, Xiao Yifei found instant noodles, sausages, and compressed biscuits. He couldn’t wait to tear open the plastic packaging of a sausage and started eating it in big bites, finishing it in two mouthfuls.
For the first time, he felt the sausage tasted so good.
Xiao Yifei suddenly remembered how he loved eating sausages as a child. Unfortunately, his grandfather considered sausages junk food and wouldn’t allow him to eat them, so most of the time, he bought one in secret and ate it by the roadside before daring to go home. Before entering, he would take a few deep breaths of air to dissipate the sausage smell.
The sausage itself had a strong aroma, and Xiao Yifei recalled the first time he secretly ate one; he went straight home afterward and got caught by his grandfather, who then punished him by skipping dinner that night. Since then, Xiao Yifei had learned his lesson. Before going home each time after eating, he would repeatedly check for any lingering sausage smell.
Because he rarely got to eat them, Xiao Yifei’s dream back then was to grow up and eat sausages every day, a genuine childhood dream.
Later, as he grew up and had sausages often, he didn’t like them as much. But every time he recalled that childhood dream, he would laugh out loud, thinking how naïve he was to have such a thought. Still, he genuinely missed having everything he had back then.
Now, over twenty years later, in such a peculiar setting as a prison, being able to eat sausage again and recalling that childhood dream, Xiao Yifei suddenly felt a sense of comfort. He once again savored the taste of sausage.
