Forgotten Legend of the Bloodied Flower - Chapter 2682 - 2685: Nan Si’s Past

Long Ai Ning looked at Nan Si calmly.

Nan Si didn’t dawdle and continued his words, “I’m the third child and I have two older brothers. The family where I was born was a poor family and it’s impossible to eat enough with only what they earned.”

Despite that, his parents still have a few more children after him.

To be honest, Nan Si couldn’t understand their thoughts in the slightest bit. Because she could see that the family was struggling and they couldn’t even take care of the children.

“Every single day is filled with hunger and cold. There’s not enough food to feed everyone in the family, so they started to sell the children. From the daughters and then sons. I was included and when I left, there are only my two older brother left in the family,” Nan Si said calmly.

He was still quite young at that time, but he understood from his parent’s action that they have no capabilities to feed for him anymore.

They had sold his younger siblings but the increasing tax made it difficult for their lives.

So they used the last resort to sell Nan Si too.

Long Ai Ning listened to Nan Si’s words and moved closer to Nan Si, holding his hand tightly and pursed her lips. She didn’t know what to say and could only comfort him in this way.

Even if he might not need to be comforted, she still wanted to do it.

“I don’t know where my other siblings end up in because none of us keep in contact with each other,” Nan Si continued.

They were still young and his youngest sister was sold when she was just a baby. It was simply impossible for these children to know where they were going to end up and possibly die midway.

To be honest, Nan Si could not understand the intention of his parents of producing children only for the sake of selling them.

Only his eldest brother could not be sold because he would be the one to inherit his parents’ property and took care of them in their old age. Then again, Nan Si was not that close to his siblings nor parents.

“I think I’m around 6 to 7 years old when I was sold.” Nan Si was not sure of the time because he was still young. But he remembered when his parents took him to a place and then left him there.

Having seen the experience of his younger siblings, Nan Si could easily guess what his parents wanted to do. He was not surprised and had no intention of fighting back.

Because even if he came back, no one would welcome him.

The live in the village was really hard and there were many people dying every single day. The war has not stopped and their village was involved in conflicts from time to time. Some villages nearby has even been burned down because of the war and bandits.

It was truly a miserable time.

Nan Si had no opinion of his father sending him away and obediently followed the people who came to pick him up. Because only if he followed them would he had the chance to survive.

“It’s an assassination organization or something similar.” Nan Si thought for a moment and then said, “Maybe more similar to your brother’s position at that time. Children who are brought since young and trained to become dark guards.”

“Dark guards?” Long Ai Ning was stunned.

Not everyone had the qualification to train dark guards. Not mentioning whether the status was high enough or not, just the amount of money required to train these people were not small.

As for picking people?

Hey, there were more than enough poor people all over the world who were willing to sell their children. They didn’t seem to care lacking one or two children as long as they could live well.

“Yes. I was trained there but then the family was destroyed,” Nan Si replied.

He didn’t explain clearly which family he served because it was unnecessary. When the family was destroyed, he hadn’t done much mission because he was still young and those people didn’t have the intention to send him out when he was not ready.

And when the family was destroyed…

He felt nothing.

There has never been any loyalty or anything like that in Nan Si’s eyes.

He was bought by these people and should have served them. But he didn’t like this status of his and simply watched as everything was gone.

Afterwards, he didn’t have any direction in his life.

“I have nowhere to go and stumbled upon an organization…” Nan Si looked at Long Ai Ning. He forgot whether Nan Hua had ever told Long Qian Xing whether she was part of the Dark Moon Organization or not.

After all, if she had never told Long Qian Xing, there was no way those under him would be able to know about this thing.

And as Nan Hua’s servant, there was no way Nan Si would reveal this matter to others.

Even if Long Ai Ning is his wife, he couldn’t do it.

“You don’t have to tell me about it if you can’t say it,” Long Ai Ning quickly said. As Long Qian Xing’s servant, she also couldn’t tell everything about Long Qian Xing to others, including Nan Si. This was something that her brother had drilled onto her from a long time ago and Long Ai Ning remembered it clearly.

Because this matter was more important than the matter of her following Long Qian Xing and Nan Hua to watch the excitement.

Nan Si nodded. “I stayed in that organization for a while until Miss come and pick me up. I choose to follow her because she’s strong and can give me a sense of meaning for my existence.”

And also because Nan Hua’s appearance made him feel that she understood the loneliness and all.

Her gaze at that time…

It was something that attracted him.
