26. Coward
Running to the corridor outside, Shen Ling vaguely heard the weak cry of the millet mouse, he followed the faint cry to the front of the garbage can on the side, and saw the little fat lying on the garbage heap covered in blood.
Shen Ling held the little fat with trembling hands, and the dying millet mouse saw his master, and waved its little paws stained with his own blood strongly, a pair of small black eyes gradually lost their lustre, and its little paws fell.
"It's okay, Chubby, it's okay, I'm ...... here" Shen Ling's voice was also trembling, and even cried.
An Wen chased him out, and saw that Shen Ling was just standing in front of the trash can and didn't go to find the magic mountain, he breathed a sigh of relief, stepped forward and patted Shen Ling's shoulder and persuaded: "Forget it, it's easy for you to go to the magic mountain like this, ......" He lowered his head, unintentionally catching a glimpse of the millet mouse covered in blood, and was so frightened that the rest of the words of persuasion were stuck in his throat.
Xiao Yan also chased out, and when he saw that Shen Ling was just standing at the door, the excited smile on his face immediately collapsed.
Sure enough, he's just a coward, useless guy.
Xiao Yan walked in front of Shen Ling disdainfully, and as soon as he saw the poor millet mouse that Shen Ling was holding in his hand, he immediately took a few steps back in disgust, and said in an exaggerated tone: "This mouse is dead, why are you holding a dead mouse?" β
Shen Ling raised his head, his gaze shooting at Xiao Yan like a sharp ice cube. Xiao Yan's heart sank, and there was a rare look of fear on his face, which always had a smiling expression.
Shen Ling's eyes turned blood-red because of anger, such a crazy look reminded Xiao Yan of the accident a year ago, and he couldn't help but look into the door of dormitory 503 that was not closed.
A year ago, Neil was like Shen Ling today, his eyes were red, and he frantically rushed into the dormitory of Titus, who was originally a powerful man in the orphanage, and used a fruit knife to cut Titus, who was more than a little taller than him, half to death, and the knife was bloody, and the screams of Titus at that time are still remembered in the minds of the children in the orphanage to this day.
Within a week of being taken away by the police, Neil was sent back to the orphanage.
Not only was Neil not punished, but he was also found to have orc blood, and it is very likely that he will awaken in the future. In the New Galactic Empire, the treatment of precious orcs and ordinary people is naturally different. Neil immediately became Principal Taylor's heart, and because of his words, Principal Taylor even went to the Mecha Technology Academy to get him an admission letter.
From then on, no one dared to mess with Neil anymore, and the children in the orphanage were afraid of him, but more often than not, they were deeply jealous. Because they all know that having orc blood means that even if they don't work hard, the future is bright.
Will that happen again today?
Scared, Xiao Yan felt inexplicably excited, would Shen Ling be so lucky to become the second Neil? But how can there be so many orcs in this world, and he has also seen it in the past few days, Shen Ling is a cowardly, cowardly, inferior and useless orphan, even if he is angry, what's the use? Sludge is mud and can never hold up the wall.
Shen Ling hugged Xiaopang back to the dormitory, he gently put Xiaopang on the quilt that An Wen had folded for him, turned his head to look at An Wen, who had been following him closely, and asked, "Which dormitory is he in Moshan?" β
"Shen Ling, you'd better calm down, I advise you not to go to them......"
"Which dormitory?" Shen Ling asked again in an accentuated tone.
β410γβ Xiao Yan, who followed over with the mentality of watching a good show, replied to Shen Ling coldly.
Shen Ling stood up and walked out of the dormitory quickly.
Xiao Yan glanced at An Wen, grinned and asked, "Let's go see it together?" β
"Don't you think it's big enough?"
"Don't pull it down, I'll do it myself." Xiao Yan grimaced and ran out of the dormitory after Shen Ling.
An Wen anxiously turned around in place a few times, and finally after thinking about it, he decided that he must tell Teacher SΓΉ Helen about this matter. He ran out of the dormitory and ran to the teacher's office building.
After they left, Neil, who had been immersed in his book, finally reluctantly took his eyes off the thick pages and glanced at the wide open door of the dormitory.
Shen Ling ran all the way to the door of dormitory 410.
At this time, it was the time when the children came back from school at the basic college, and there were many children in the corridor, seeing Shen Ling rushing to the fourth floor in a hurry, the orphan with a sensitive nature sensed that something must happen, so he came with him.
It's just that when I followed Shen Ling to the gate of 410, because I had been subjected to the magic mountain for a long time. Lewd. Wei's oppression, instinctively repulsed by this dormitory, they are far away and dare not approach.
The door was unlocked, Shen Ling pushed open the door and walked in.
Then there was a burst of laughter and scolding from inside, not only the voice of the magic mountain, but also several of his followers inside. I heard a "bang", and the door of dormitory 410 was slammed shut from the inside.
No one except the person involved knew what had happened in dormitory 410 that day, or why the final result was so different from what they had expected.
When the door of dormitory 410 opened again, Shen Ling, whose clothes were messy and had two blood marks under his nose, rushed out of it. The curious children who were blocking the door saw his wolf but fierce appearance, and involuntarily made way for him.
He ran from the path where the children had gotten out of the way in the direction of the staircase, and the short and fat teacher Helen and An Wen, who was following her, hurried over, just in time to collide with Shen Ling, who was running in this direction. Helen pointed at Shen Ling and screamed, "Shen Ling, you stop for me!" β
Shen Ling pushed Teacher Helen, who was blocking in front of her, to the ground, ran to the staircase in two or three steps, and rushed upstairs.
Helen, who was sitting on the ground, screamed in pain, she didn't understand why Shen Ling, who looked thin and weak, had so much strength.
A curious kid pushed the door of dormitory 410 open and peeked inside, and the bloody scene made him scream in horror.
Helen immediately stood up and yelled at the children to get out of the way. She walked to the door of the dormitory of 410, and when she saw the situation inside, she suddenly felt a little dizzy in her head, and took a step backwards with her feet, but fortunately Anwen supported her in time, otherwise she suspected that she would not be able to stand on her feet and fall to the ground like this.
"Go and sue the other teachersβ" Helen shouted madly in her high-pitched voice, "call the ambulance, call the police, call the police!" β
β¦β¦
The moment he left the 410 dormitory, Shen Ling's heart was filled with unspeakable grief.
He hated this place, he hated the basic school, he hated everyone here. He didn't want to stay in this hellish place, and instead of staying here, he might as well wander as before.
He's always going to grow up, there's always a way to make money, he's always going to the terminal and leaving here in a spaceship, he's going to Kamilia, he's going to find Celia.
Shen Ling first ran back to the dormitory and hugged Xiaopang in his arms, and then ran out of the Xiali Orphanage with Xiaopang.
The cities of the sea blue star are almost all island cities, and the city leans on the seaside, and Shen Ling ran to the beach closest to the Xiali orphanage in one go.
Because the location of the orphanage is relatively remote, no one can see this beach except Shen Ling. Shen Ling walked to the beach with Chubby in his arms, he carefully placed Chubby on the soft sand, picked up a palm-sized shell, squeezed and broke the shell in half on the stone, and then used the sharp side of the shell to break a wound on the palm of his left hand.
The cut was not deep enough, and only a few drops of red blood oozed out. He gritted his teeth again and made up for it vigorously, looking at the bright red blood beads that kept coming out of the wound, he squeezed his palm into a fist, and with the other hand, he broke open the little fat mouth, letting the blood beads flow smoothly into the little fat mouth.
Chubby's body still had a little warmth, and when the blood flowed into its mouth, it could be seen that it was reluctantly swallowing.
After feeding the blood, Shen Ling stared at Xiao Fat with a little luck expectation. But Chubby lay there motionless, and the temperature of his body gradually decreased little by little, until later, even if Shen Ling carefully touched Chubby's body, Chubby didn't react at all. Shen Ling knelt in front of Xiao Fat in pain, looking up at the endless sea of mermaids in the blue star.
His eyes were sore and his nose was sore. I have been holding back the tears for nearly half a year, and I finally couldn't hold it anymore and flowed down.
"Ahhh
He didn't understand, he wasn't reconciled.
Why he was always abandoned, why his parents abandoned him when he was born. Why did his adoptive father sell him to the bad guys, and why did Celia, the master he wanted to follow all his life, leave him alone on this island.
Why is even Chubby leaving him today?
Why?
Why did he stay alone?
Isn't he a merfolk? Isn't it the most powerful race in this galaxy? Why is he still so useless? Can't even protect Chubby?
Shen Ling closed his eyes in pain, and when he opened them again, his eyes flashed with determination. He stood up and staggered towards the sea.
His calves were submerged in the sea, then his knees, his hips, all the way to his shoulders, and he still didn't stop walking into the sea.
In his previous life, he had awakened his bloodline and turned into a mermaid, since he had this bloodline, why couldn't he awaken now? Why did he have to wait until he was twenty years old?
This is the mermaid sea, the hometown of the mermaid, and this place should have been his hometown!
Since it is his hometown, then he will definitely not drown in the sea here, isn't he a mermaid? How could he be drowned by the sea, and the mermaid who was drowned by the sea, isn't it a big joke?
With such an almost desperate thought, Shen Ling let his whole body be submerged in the sea.
On the beach, the big silver cat that had been hiding behind Shen Ling walked to the unconscious millet rat with elegant steps, it picked up the dying millet rat, and glanced sideways at the direction where Shen Ling was submerged by the sea.
"Such a fragile mermaid is really a disappointment for cats. Let this mermaid become the new master, how many years and months will it take to fulfill the master's dying entrustment?"
Suddenly, the big cat noticed that someone was approaching this side of the beach, and it immediately hid its figure, and silently left with a millet mouse in its mouth.
Neil has never been a nosy person, and there aren't many idle people at the Charley Orphanage who would take care of other people's bad things. But, perhaps because of the similarity of the experience, he couldn't help but follow the new orphan to the beach.
He would be stupid enough to commit suicide, which Neil never imagined.
What he looks down on the most is this kind of person who does not value his life, and the stupid act of committing suicide is only done by the weak.
But since he came, he wouldn't have brought back a dead man. Neil took off his shoes, jumped into the sea, and after a while, dragged Shen Ling, who had drowned unconscious, to the shore.
Shen Ling woke up after spitting out a few mouthfuls of seawater, and when he opened his eyes, he was greeted by the blue sky and the white clouds that were rendered by the setting sun with a layer of orange brilliance.
"You want to go to Kamilia?" A cold male voice sounded beside him, Shen Ling looked sideways in the direction of the sound source, and saw a thin man who was wet and sitting on the beach with his hands behind his back, a pair of straight long legs casually put together.
Shen Ling immediately recognized this person, Neil Joyt, who was in the same dormitory, was said to be the most offending madman in the Xiali Orphanage. He lowered his head, not wanting to answer Neil's question. He didn't want to say anything, he didn't want to ask Neil how he knew he wanted to go to Kamilia, he just wanted to sit alone for a while.
"If you want to go, go to the Kaodi Academy." Neil stood up, walked to the side, bent down and picked up his shoes, "Not only is all tuition and fees waived, but there are also subsidies for poor students." After pouring out the sand inside the shoes, the corners of Neil's mouth suddenly raised a contemptuous arc, "But that kind of higher education, a useless person like you will definitely not be able to take the exam." Especially I heard, you're in the nursery class now? β
When he heard the words "Nursery Class", a trace of anger flashed in Shen Ling's eyes.
"There's nothing to complain about, there's nothing to suffer, that's the case with children without parents." Neil turned around and left the last few words, "You should be thankful that you still have a place to live, to be fed, to study, and to have a chance to get out of here." Do you think this is an opportunity for everyone? Self-pity, don't want to work hard and feel that the whole world owes you, such a person is a waste of food to live. β
After that, Neil left, and Shen Ling was the only one left on the beach.
