Lao Er - Shun Feng Er

Lao Er – Shun Feng Er

Possessing the ability to hear the softest sounds at the furthest distance, Lao Er has often acquired misleading information unintentionally due to his incompatibility with his gift. Lao Er may not be deemed as sensible as Lao Da due to the fact that he is currently residing within the Evil Marshall’s place; but yet his conscience has not been blinded by the influence of the Evil Marshall’s teachings as he has been reasonably helping the other brothers by compensating their injuries or preventing his other evil brother from causing further damage to the other brothers. Like Lao Da, his skill is more of an information gathering technique rather than for actual combat usage. Yet his ability is flawed as he cannot control the information entering through his ears unlike Lao Da who can adapt to his foresight at ease after a period of hardship which strangely did not occur to Lao Er. Lao Da has once suffered permanent blindness so as to gain his eagle’s eye ability yet Lao Er just naturally gained his supernatural hearing abilities. But as the saying 道听图说 goes, the data collected might not be reliable unless it is from a confidential source. The fact that plain gossip will be mixed within the truth and has to be filter out brings out the weakness of this ability. Yet the sense of hearing itself is diminished by many due to the reality that silence is regarded to be serenity and inner peace in one’s soul. Therefore, the contradiction of the extension of such a troubled sense might not be as useful as it seems.

From this point on, I will be giving a narrative of another version of 十兄弟 , where Lao Er is the main character.

Ever since being drifted away by a stream at a young age, Lao Er has been adopted by the Evil Marshall when the nanny found him and his brother at the riverside. Due to his plain innocence and naivety, he trusted the wrong person and 认贼做父, resulting in him having a hand in injuring his biological father, 爹爹. He also became a tyrant as he believed that he was making the Evil Marshall proud, terrorizing civilians everywhere he went along with his brother. Initially, he was not aware that he was gifted with the ability of supernatural hearing and thought only his brother was the talented one. But as time goes by, he started receiving stray info coming from all over the place as his gift manifested and developed. Forthrightly, he went to inform the Evil Marshall about the conversation he heard from the Marshall. Yet at this time still, no one had taken notice of his extraordinary talent and thought he has been eavesdropping on them. Even Lao Er himself did not realize of the capabilities he is able of and just thought that he had been listening to a piercing discussion due to the tranquility of the night. Currently, he and his brother have been isolated from the rest of the brothers due to the fact that both of them have been separated from the rest at birth. But they will soon be assembled as little did the ten brothers know that trouble is brewing and they will face a crisis very soon… To Be Continued…
