Infernal Hero

Chapter 5 Slash Inferior Roots

The leader of the explosion team was Gu Tianyou's second teacher.

There weren't many educated people in the prison. Miao Shifan had the highest education, but unfortunately, he wasn't suitable to be a good teacher. Therefore, he had no choice but to hire another expert. Thus, Lord Long asked He Weiran to find another candidate. This time, Commissar He found the leader of the explosion team.

The leader of the explosives team came from the 2nd prison area, and he was also a legendary figure.

When he was first imprisoned, apart from a company of military and police escorts, there was nothing special about him. After a few years of silence in Block Two, one day he suddenly did something between Bull A and Bull C, making him famous in this prison overnight and immortal. He finally got the nickname of Blast Team Leader.

The Asskicker used half a month's worth of manure, toilet paper, and half a bucket of paint to create an astonishing bomb that blew up a corner of the 30-foot-tall, 20-meter-thick prison courtyard wall. The strangest thing about him was that he didn't do it for the sake of escaping from prison.

One of the prisoners who escaped that night was one of his fellow inmates, who was said to have gone out to see his seriously ill mother for the last time. The man escaped and never returned, but the leader of the explosives team was commuted to life imprisonment for the incident.

The class was arranged in an ordinary cell in the second cell. The leader of the explosion team was thirty or forty years old. He was slightly fat and bent his waist. His round face was always cheerful. The prison uniform on his body was a few sizes bigger, and he was almost dressed in a cold shirt.

Gu Tianyou looked at him, but his mind was focused on what Lord Long had told him about this person's origin. Lord Long said that he had been transferred from the military prison and had been sentenced to life in a military court. Lord Long did not say what exactly he had committed. He only said that if it wasn't for the fact that Lord Long had kept this person in the country, it would have been useful and that he wouldn't have been shot eight times. It's not clear why he was transferred to a local prison.

The first time he met the leader of the explosion team was in Area Two's outdoor area. On a sunny spring day, the leader of the explosives team was invited.

Gu Tianyou immediately asked, "Why didn't you run when you blew up the prison that night?"

The leader of the explosion team thought for a moment and smiled bitterly. "The hole in the wall is small. I'm too fat to squeeze out."

This sentence sounded like a joke to a child, but Gu Tianyou sensed something else from the hesitation and bitter smile of the explosion team leader. He asked sharply, "Are you saying that your lawsuit is too big? If you run away, you might implicate a lot of people?"

The leader of the explosion team had long heard that Tian You was precocious, but he didn't expect that a ten-year-old boy would mature to this extent. He bitterly smiled and vaguely said, "I am a foolish sinner. I have sinned deeply for harming myself. I am destined to stay here for the rest of my life, so there is no need to implicate others."

His words were casual, but they made Gu Tianyou feel respectful. Ten years old, Tian You has read many books in the past two years. In the past, there were some Dao ideals that he did not understand, but during this period of time, he did understand a bit. Hearing the explosion team leader's words, he couldn't help but recall what Lord Long had often said. A man could be heartless and not heartless when he was alive.

Affectionate people cannot withstand the torment of parting ways, and no one in the righteous generation is willing to entrust their lives to each other.

The leader of the bombing squad was a military felon, and his status was not trivial. Once he successfully escaped from prison, the prison authorities would have to bear the blame. No one knew how many people would be severely punished.

The new teacher in front of him first blew open the prison wall for his fellow inmates, and then gave up the chance to escape for others. What he did was worthy of the words "uprising against Bo Yuntian".
Gu Tianyou bowed and said, "Hello, thank you for coming to teach me."

… … … …

If one were to say that Miao Shifan was a peerlessly arrogant and lonely peak with sharp edges and corners. The unknown leader of the explosives team was a soft dough. In Tianyou's opinion, the word gentleness could be used to describe the man who had caused the most popular incident in the history of Qinzhou Prison for a hundred years.

He was almost the same age as Miao Shifan, but his personality was extremely different. Miao Shifan tossed a book to Tianyou to memorize, but he rarely explained the contents of the book. The leader of the explosion team was completely different. He was always tiring of teaching Tianyou all sorts of strange things. His knowledge was so vast that it seemed to be all-encompassing. No matter what Heaven bless asked, he would always be able to answer patiently.

He never lost his temper. He always wore a simple and honest smile on his face. Struggling with others was absolutely not related to him. He stood there, completely out of tune with the cruel and tyrannical atmosphere in the prison. Although everyone held a sense of fear and respect for him in their hearts, and even though he was in prison, he remained independent and aloof in his thoughts. All rules never take precedence over the rules of prison.

Gu Tianyou had always been curious about his name, but the leader of the explosion team had never mentioned his name, and even He Weiran did not know his name. Grandpa Long may know, but every time God bless asks, the old man always says seriously, military secrets!

Even though he didn't know his name, it didn't affect Tianyou's sincere respect for him. Ever since the new teacher came along, the originally gray-white life had begun to become more colorful.

Books are rarely needed for the blasting team leader to impart knowledge. Cold summer, autumn harvest, winter hiding, four seasons change, his lecture content is also a variety of tricks.

Sometimes, the new teacher would bring Tian You to the garden. Sometimes, he would cut off a few peach branches and graft them onto other trees to tell Tian You the secret of transplanting trees and letting fruit trees hang in advance. Occasionally, he would catch a few insects and ask Tianyou to draw them on paper. More often than not, he liked to teach by word and deed that Heaven Blessed should know all kinds of chemical elements, understand their origins and characteristics.

He was like an encyclopedia, as if everything in nature was known to the palms of his fingers. Through him, Xiao Tianyou was able to observe the world from an angle that was rarely used by people. Feel the warmth and happiness of growing up that I have never felt in my life.

If Miao Shifan saw the gloomy and hypocritical side of the world, then the new teacher's perspective showed the colorful and real side of the world.

In comparison, eleven-year-old Tianyou naturally liked this new teacher better.

Time passed and a year passed. With the arrival of the cold winter, the sunny days of Heaven's Blessing came to an end.

One day after the New Year, a group of heavily armed military and police appeared in prison. Grandpa Long told Tianyou that they were here for the leader of the explosion team.

Grandpa Long said to Tianyou, "Send your teacher away. Perhaps after this farewell, we won't have another chance to meet again in this lifetime."

After living in this place for 11 years, Gu Tianyou had seen too many people come and too many people leave. Most of them were crying and smiling. On the other hand, the day the leader of the explosion team left, he left crying.

He is a person who loves life and is full of emotions, but he is not a person who shed tears easily. Gu Tianyou knew that the reason he shed tears was because he was worried about himself.

It was a cloudy afternoon. In the quiet outdoor area, he stood in front of a group of heavily armed soldiers and policemen. The prison uniform he wore was replaced with a straw-green uniform without a military rank. Gu Tianyou watched him walk towards him from afar. Thinking that there might be no chance to see him again, he had the urge to rush over and call him Dad. However, in the end, Tianyou still didn't do anything. He just stared blankly at him walking over with tears in his eyes.

"Are you leaving now?" Gu Tianyou suppressed the surging emotions in his heart and tried his best to ask calmly.

"Yes." The leader of the explosion squad stroked Tianyou's head with his big hand. "It's already so high. I'm afraid I won't recognize you when we meet again."

"Where are they taking you?" Gu Tianyou looked at him, the corners of his lips trembling. He nodded and said, "Military secrets, you can't say that, right?"

The leader of the explosion team nodded. After a moment of silence, he suddenly asked, "Have you ever thought about the future?"

"In the future?" Tianyou was stunned for a moment.

"Yes, in the future!" "You'll grow up one day. You're not a prisoner, so you'll have to leave this place to live outside. Do you ever think about how you'll live after you leave this place?" The leader of the explosion team said in an aggravated tone, "You'll grow up one day. You're not a prisoner. You'll have to leave this place to live outside that day, of course."

Yes, the teacher is right. How am I going to live? He hadn't thought about this question before, but at this moment, when he suddenly faced this question, Tian You's heart was in a daze. Past memories suddenly appeared in his mind, wanting to find a reason to stay here. Thinking back and forth, only Lord Long's aged figure remained.

"I know that you are a filial child. I can't bear to leave Lord Long here alone, so I never thought about it." The leader of the explosion team patted Tianyou's shoulder and said earnestly, "Grandpa Long is getting old. The environment here is getting harder and harder for him. You should know that it's not difficult for him to leave this place."

"You mean …" Gu Tianyou thought of a possibility and said hesitantly.

"Yes." The leader of the explosion team nodded and said, "Last year's serious illness almost killed him. Although he was cured, it left behind sequelae. You learned medicine from Miao Shifan , so you should know that the old man's illness can't be delayed. Minister Xu said that he should be tied up and taken home to retire. However, the old man's temper was too stubborn, and no one dared to force him to do so."

"I know that he is reluctant to part with me, so why shouldn't I be reluctant to part with him?"

"He is worried about you. He is afraid that if no one beside you watches, this place will destroy him." The leader of the explosion team paused for a moment before suddenly asking, "Do you know how to do it?"

Gu Tianyou tilted his head and thought for a moment before saying, "If I hadn't met you, I would have. After more than a year, I've understood a lot of things. Now, I'm a little uncertain."

"I'm just not sure. Isn't it certain that I won't?"

"Yes." Gu Tianyou grinned and said, "Didn't you say that it's easy to learn by yourself, but hard to learn by yourself? If you leave, then if the old man also leaves, he'll leave me alone to earn a living in this damned place. For the rest of his life, he'll have to follow the example of those villains."

"You stinking brat." The leader of the explosion team pointed at Tianyou and sighed, "You were born in this place and grew up in such an environment. No one can stop you if you really want to learn badly. You chose me this time last year and gave up on Miao Shifan . This shows that your nature is not bad."

"Don't compliment me. I still have this little bit of self-knowledge." Gu Tianyou mocked himself, "If it weren't for Old Master's righteousness, my greatest possibility would be that I wouldn't be able to live to this day. Even if I survived, I would still be doomed to be an utterly ruthless bastard, just like the Primordial Thunderbolt Hand Cheng Kun from the story of the Heaven-leaning Dragon Slaying Story that you told me."

"Haha!"

"Don't worry, don't forget that my view of right and wrong was established under the influence of Lord Long. No matter what happens in the future, I will try my best to be a good person."

The leader of the explosion team laughed and suddenly said with a serious expression, "I'm leaving. Lord Long is probably also fast. You need to think more about things you haven't thought about before. In the future, you need to slowly explore your own path. If you don't understand anything difficult, you might as well ask He Weiran ."

Behind him came the sound of a car whistle.

"Time to go." The leader of the explosion team put away his smile. "I 'm glad I' ve taught you some of what I know in more than a year, "The only regret is that this period of time is too short. Lastly, what I want to tell you is that in this special living environment, it is very difficult for a person to remain unaffected. I hope that no matter where you go in the future, don't forget that you promised me that you would work hard to be a good person."
