Chapter 60: Childhood Nightmares
Ten years ago
Luo Shuang was born in a small fishing village on the southeastern coast of the Red Dome Kingdom, and his parents were typical simple fishermen, and sometimes his ingenious mother would make ornaments out of shells and sell them in nearby towns to supplement the family.

At that time, Luo Shuang was still a cheerful and smiling girl, collecting shells with her friends on the beach, stepping on the waves, and watching her father fish and weave nets constituted her ordinary and happy childhood. Every morning when she woke up to the sound of the waves, she would see her mother's breakfast on the stove steaming, and the sea breeze on her wheat-colored cheeks, with a salty smell, and she always believed that their family of three would live such a comfortable and beautiful life forever.
Until one day, the ruthless knives and guns of a group of robbers put an end to the happy life of the Luo Shuang family.
Luo Shuang will never forget that night, when a gang of robbers from nowhere broke into the fishing village, and the silence of the village was shattered by the sound of fighting and looting. Luo Shuang's mother hugged Luo Shuang who had just woken up from sleep in horror, her father opened the window a small slit, leaned sideways to look outside, the village lost its original peaceful appearance at this moment: those villagers who resisted were all killed by the robbers, and they didn't even have time to call for help, the sound of the blade cutting through the flesh clearly came into the ears, the ground was full of blood and corpses, some families on the periphery had been set on fire by the robbers, and in the light of the fire, Luo Shuang's father saw that the group of strange and hideous faces were approaching in the direction of his home...
After composing himself for a while, Luo Shuang's father picked up a long harpoon by the door, turned to Luo Shuang's mother and said, "Son, you take Shuang'er and hide under the bed." β
Seeing her husband's resolute expression, Luo Shuang's mother didn't say anything, and hugged Luo Shuang to the bottom of the bed, "Shuang'er, hide under the bed, don't make a sound!" Then she turned back and picked up a harpoon, and walked firmly to her husband's side.
Luo Shuang's father knew his wife's character too well, so he didn't stop it anymore and grabbed her hand.
"Father, mother, don't leave the frost behind..."Luo Shuang got out of the bed and looked at his father and mother with tears in her eyes.
Looking at such a young and weak daughter, Luo Shuang's mother couldn't hold back any longer, rushed up to hug Luo Shuang and cried, "Promise my mother, I must live well." β
The footsteps outside the door were getting closer and closer, and Luo Shuang's father stepped forward to pull his wife away and hugged Luo Shuang back under the bed, "Child, cover your eyes!" Whatever you hear, don't come out! β
"Father, motherβ" Luo Shuang still poked out.
"Get in!" The mother, who had always been gentle, suddenly commanded Luo Shuang, and then immediately turned her head, knowing that if she looked at her daughter again, she would be desperate to hug her.
At this time, the door was kicked open, and several robbers broke into the house, and Luo Shuang's parents shouted and resisted, but how could they be the opponents of these robbers with knives and guns? After a while, he was killed by robbers with a bayonet barrel and fell to the ground.
Luo Shuang watched her parents fall in a pool of blood under the bed, and she covered her mouth with trembling hands to prevent herself from screaming.
After rummaging through Luo Shuang's house, the robbers took some valuable things and prepared to leave, but they did not find Luo Shuang. However, when the robbers came to the door, Luo Shuang couldn't hold back a sob, which made the robbers stop, "There is someone under the bed!" β
The robber picked up the knife and slowly walked to the bed, and the frightened Luo Shuang closed his eyes in despair, "Father, mother, daughter are here to accompany you." β
However, when the robbers' footsteps were only a stone's throw from the bed, they suddenly screamed and fell to the ground. Loshuang was startled by their shouts and saw that another group of people seemed to have broken into the house, and in the blink of an eye the robbers had all been killed. At this moment, the bed was lifted, and Luo Shuang sat up in horror and looked at the people in front of him who were dressed by soldiers.
A leader-like man stretched out his hand to Luo Shuang and said, "Don't be afraid, we are from the Red Dome Army. The man's deep voice made Luo Shuang feel trusted, and she stretched out her hand tremblingly, and was pulled up by the man.
"Don't run around here, let's go save the rest of the villagers." With that, the man turned and followed the soldiers out.
Seeing that the once warm home is now full of messes and unrecognizable, and the parents who love him are now cold corpses, Luo Shuang finally cried loudly, "Father, mother, how can I live alone in the future?" I don't know how long she cried, but the desperate Luo Shuang picked up a harpoon, pointed it to her chest, and closed her eyes.
However, just as she was about to plunge it into her heart, the harpoon in her hand was knocked off.
She opened her eyes in astonishment, looked at the man in front of her, and realized that it was the leader who had saved her before.
"What are you doing here? Your parents fought with their lives to protect you, but now you want to kill yourself? β
"My parents are gone, what's the point of my life?" said Luo Shuang and cried again.
"If I were you, I would choose to make myself strong, strong enough to protect anyone or anything important to me in the future, rather than choose to die cowardly."
Hearing this, Luo Shuang stopped crying and stared at the man timidly, "Can I, like you?" β
"Of course, but you must at least survive until then, and when you are older, you can join my team headquarters."
"Okay." Luo Shuang wiped away the tears on her face, clenched her fists, and thought silently in her heart: "I will definitely make myself strong!" β
"Report to the General! All the robbers have been captured and killed, and the remaining villagers have been rescued. "A soldier ran to report to the chief.
"Okay, I got it." Seeing that Luo Shuang had given up the idea of suicide, the man turned around and left with confidence.
"Well, what's your name?" Luo Shuang asked the man's back.
"Xiahou Yi."
Later, Luo Shuang was adopted by a surviving villager, and learned from the villagers that Xiahou Yi returned from the war with his troops that night, and happened to pass through the fishing village, and found that the village was noisy and chaotic, as if there was a scream, so he approached the fishing village, only to find that there were robbers who broke into here, so he immediately led troops into the village to clean up the robbers and rescue the villagers.
The once innocent and lively Luo Shuang became silent overnight, and the villagers were very distressed to see her like this, but they also understood that no matter how much they believed in the child, but after all, they were not her parents, so they could only sigh secretly: they adults were almost suffocated when they recalled the nightmare, and she was a child who saw her parents being killed, so how could she bear such pain and fear?
One night four years later, she changed into a man's dress, her hair was tied high with a belt, and she looked more energetic and capable in a man's dress, she looked at herself in the mirror, and showed a smile that she had already been unfamiliar with, "This day has come." β
