The Big Man’s Tragedy

Be that as it may, Longyuan did not sleep soundly because of his inner turmoil, and woke up after just two hours.

Keeping his blanket over himself, he opened his dark round eyes to look around. When he found a few books placed on the floor, he picked them up and read them seriously.

However, there were many parts which he could not understand, and remembered Elder Meng right then.

Eventually, he sighed—he would have to ask Elder Meng when he got home.

That was when the big man in the next cell called out to him.

"Come here, kid!"

Surprised, Longyuan quickly sat up and looked at the big man sitting on his bed. His beard was too thick and hid his facial features, but the flash in his eyes did not allow anyone to be at ease, not to mention that his clothing was clean and tidy.

"W-Why should I?"

Longyuan asked in confusion, his big round eyes widening.
