Yi Yun thought it over before saying softly, “Sis Xiaorou, I’m not as weak as you think. Having came back from the dead, I think I’m different from the past…Don’t you remember me climbing up the 20 meter tall cliffs a few days ago.”
With Yi Yun saying that, Jiang Xiaorou recalled. She was astonished at Yi Yun’s speed climbing up the cliff, but accepted it because Yi Yun liked to climb and pick herbs since young.
Thinking it through, Yi Yun was indeed more vigorous. He was much better at scaling cliffs than most of the members of the warrior preparation camp.
With that in mind, Jiang Xiaorou felt reassured. Her brother was indeed different.
Sometimes, having not died in a fatal situation, there would be great fortune after. Jiang Xiaorou had heard that some people were struck by lightning, and not only did they not die; they obtained special abilities.
Could Yun-er be in a similar situation?
That night, Yi Yun as a new hire was brought to the grain-sunning grounds.
Wooden fences surrounded the grain-sunning grounds. Because of the “typhoid” incident, the wooden fences increased, preventing anyone from the outside to see in.
There were about thirty people split into two shifts involved in the refinement of the desolate bones.
Yi Yun was designated the night shift. There were about a dozen people for the night shift. Although these people were not as fit as the men from the warrior preparation camp, they were all large. Among them, Yi Yun was like a little chicken among swans. His height only reached their chest.
Seeing Yi Yun, a dozen of the men were shocked. The reason for the stares was obvious, how did such a thin child get selected to refine the desolate bones?
Besides his strength, his height was so short that even he could not reach the mouth of the cauldron while standing on a stool. How would he be able to add the “Li Fire Water” into the cauldron?
“Lad, are you kidding me? Someone like you can refine the bones?”
“What can you do with your little body? Your legs aren’t even thicker than the firewood!”
All the men had strong views upon seeing Yi Yun. Yi Yun would be given a piece of bacon for not doing any work. They were not cool with that.
Yi Yun did not bother speaking, and sat by the pile of firewood, letting them say all they want.
“Time for porridge!” A man from the warrior preparation camp brought out a bucket of porridge. There was food provided for those who refined the desolate bones. This was a welfare the upper echelon gave to ensure the smooth refinement of the desolate bones. Only after eating would they have the strength to work.
Upon hearing that the porridge arrived, the men’s eyes lit up and ran towards it.
“Hula”, the bucket of porridge was snatched empty. With Yi Yun at the back, together with how these people struggled and fought for the food, there was already none left for Yi Yun.
Yi Yun felt helpless. Bad surroundings make bad civilians. This phrase had its logic. It wasn’t because the people in bad surroundings were immoral, but being moral did not ensure their survival.
“Time to work! Work time! The guys from the warrior preparation camp shouted.
A few men walked towards the big cauldron. It was time to replace the day shift.
Yi Yun straggled at the back. He walked slowly as he stared at the cauldron.
In the eyes of others, Yi Yun looked stunned by the huge bronze cauldron that was burnt by purple fire. Indeed, the cauldron was huge. Yi Yun’s height did not even reach the second handle of the cauldron.
In fact, Yi Yun’s sight was filled with faint points of light. It looked like flying fireflies dancing in the night.
Such a mystical power! This was the energy of the desolate bones, and was the legendary–Power of Desolates!
