Chapter 2 Leaving

From that day on, the life of the boy became completely different from before. The time he went out every day was greatly reduced. Even if he had to go out, he would wrap his hair with a long scarf. But as the saying goes, there is no airtight wall in the world. The news that the boy is a half-orc has spread wildly in their small city.

This news was circulating wildly in Baiyue City. From the second day after the news leaked, the boy discovered that when he went out, the people around him had all changed their eyes when he looked at him. Those uncles and aunts who used to like to give him some gadgets when he passed by, now when they saw him approaching, they seemed to see something dirty, and they didn't say anything disgusted, and even insulted them.

Those friends who used to play with him very well now, when they see him, either avoid him or go forward and bully him hard.

If these humiliations were just the teenager himself, he would have endured them. But his patience was completely broken when he first heard the quarrel between the Oléans. Because when the Oléans took to the streets, they were despised and insulted by the neighbors, which was so unpleasant.

At this moment, the door of the O's and his wife's house was knocked. The one who came to visit was Jack's best brother, Lifu, who had been playing since childhood. The purpose of his visit was also very simple, that is, to break the engagement.

When the O's couple picked up the boy, they immediately told their friends about the news. Seeing that the boy was cute when he was a child and his silver hair was very popular, they rushed to say that if they gave birth to a girl in the future, they would let the boy be his daughter's husband.

The next year, Jack's friend Lifu and his wife really gave birth to a girl. So on the day her daughter was born, Lifu came to the home of the Ogil and his wife with her daughter who had just arrived in this world, and asked the boy to make a marriage with the girl. For this reason, the Oglians and his wife went to the market to celebrate with the pork they rarely bought.

However, when Lifu heard the rumor that the boy was actually an orc this morning, it was instantly shaken. Although Jack was his friend who had been playing with since childhood, considering his daughter's future happiness and his future reputation in the family, Lifu chose to find Jack to terminate the engagement. Even if his friendship with Jack had been broken for many years, he would not hesitate to do so.

The result of the matter was very simple. Jack readily agreed to Lifu's break-up, but since that day, the two families have never contacted each other again, and even met on the street, they would not say hello.

"Ian, Ian? Ian!"

Just as the boy was trapped in the world of memories, a gentle voice interrupted his thoughts. When he looked up, he saw that it was Dina who had already come out of the room. At this time, her eyes were slightly red and her body was trembling slightly. Even when she called the boy, her voice was a little hoarse, obviously she had just cried.

Seeing Ian come back to his senses, Dina smiled at him, but this smile seemed a bit far-fetched in Ian's eyes. Dina gently touched Ian's head, and then stroked the purple-green piece on Ian's face with a little distress, and her eyes became even more wet, as if tears would drop at any time, but Dina held back the tears in her eyes and said with a slight sob:

"Are you bullied by those bad guys again today? It's okay, Ian, life will always get better. Are you hungry? I have something to eat in the kitchen. I saw you haven't come back for a long time just now, and your father and I didn't wait for you, but fortunately the food is still hot, so go and eat it."

Listening to Dina's gentle voice, Ian suddenly felt a soreness surge on his nose, and his eyes suddenly became hot. Ian suppressed the feeling of wanting to cry loudly, and handed a very separate smile to Dina, and then comforted Dina in a tone that he thought was very indifferent:

"It's okay, those bad boys will be punished. Don't be sad. As you said, life will definitely get better. When I grow up and become stronger, I will go to work for my father and let you live a good life. Well, I suddenly feel so hungry. Mother, I'll go to have a meal first."

After saying this, Ian ignored Dina's reaction and rushed to the kitchen not far away without looking back. He could no longer hold back the tears. After locking the kitchen door, Ian leaned on the door weakly, allowing tears in his eyes to fill his cheeks, but bit his lips with his teeth without making a sound.

After crying for a while, Ian felt a little more aggrieved. He slowly walked to the worn wooden table and uncovered the worn and slightly yellow gauze cover on it. On the dining table, there were some green vegetables and some chili peppers in the bowl with a gap. Next to it, there were a few green vegetable leaves floating, but there were no oil and water soup.

Ian casually rode out some slightly yellowed rice from the steamer, and delivered it to his stomach with a bite of green vegetables and a bite of coarse rice. The dishes were not very delicious, and the coarse rice was a little hard and astringent, but in Ian's opinion, it was the best thing in the world.

But as he ate, Ian's eyes turned red for some reason. Big tears fell from Ian's eyes, hitting the rice, splashing some water. This was the fourth year he hadn't seen meat appear on the vegetable table. Yes, counting it, it started from the year when he had the orc characteristics.

Unfair.

These three words suddenly appeared in Ian's mind. Ian, who had never read a book, did not know what unfair means, but these three words appeared in his mind. He didn't understand why he was treated these unfairly because his ears looked different from others.

It would be fine if he was just himself, why did the kind-hearted Oléan couple receive such unfair treatment? Why did the attitudes of everyone around him become so cold and ruthless because he had a pair of different ears.

Ian didn't know what the word orc means in human society, but now he only knows one thing, that is, because of his existence, the kind-hearted couple who adopted him was implicated, and even some disharmony occurred in their relationship. You should know that Ian, who was ten years old, had never seen this couple quarrel.
