Chapter 1 Terminally Ill Youth
In an ordinary middle school in Fang County, Shiyan City, Nanhu Province, at the entrance of the school 'gate', two students in tattered clothes were walking in the direction of each other in the crowded crowd of students who had just finished school.
At the 'door' of this ordinary middle school, the two of them are obviously different.
This is not only the tattered school uniforms they are wearing, but also the dirty and sloppy appearance of the two, which gives people a very uncomfortable feeling, and even some students look at the two with disgust.
If it weren't for the fact that the two of them were wearing the uniforms of the school, people who didn't know each other would think that these two people would not be students of the school, but beggars on the street or migrant workers from somewhere, and then they would be two hooligans who were very poorly mixed.
The surrounding students all looked at the two of them in surprise, and it was really difficult for them to think that the two people in front of them were students from the same school as them.
But for the strange eyes of these students, both of them seemed to have not heard of it, and quickened their pace and walked towards each other.
"Brother Feng, how is it, it doesn't matter, right?" The dirty student who came out of the school's 'gate' asked anxiously before he walked up to another dirty student. He was not tall, six or seven meters tall, flat-headed, and thin, but his big bright eyes were very attentive, and his voice was so small that it could hardly be heard by another dirty student in front of him.
After hearing this, another dirty student felt a strong emotion in his heart, and there was a trace of hesitation in his heart, but he finally shook his head and said, "Aze, let's not talk about this first, let's find a place to eat first, I'm telling you in detail." ”
After speaking, before the student named Aze could speak, he had already turned around and walked in the direction of the street.
A sense of foreboding rose in the heart of the student who called Aze, and without asking, he quickly followed.
The young man who was called 'Brother Feng' was named Qianfeng, and the 'Aze' he said was called Bai Ze.
Both of them lived in the same orphanage when they were young, and later an old man brought them home at the same time to raise, and also let the two go to school, and their lives have been secure since then, but, the good dream is not long, and after a few years, the lonely old man died of illness, and did not leave any property, in order to make ends meet and continue to study, the two can only go to work for others every day after school and weekends to make money, so hard life to the present.
Bai Ze followed Qianfeng to a noodle restaurant, and the two asked for two bowls of knife-cut noodles and a bottle of inexpensive Erguotou liquor, and sat down.
Qianfeng looked much taller than Bai Ze, about one meter eight, but he was also emaciated, with some long black hair, covering most of his somewhat pale face.
"Brother Feng, what's wrong? What kind of illness is it? Let's figure out a way together, I feel really uncomfortable with you like this. Bai Ze saw Qianfeng's sad face, and couldn't help but ask again.
After hearing this, Qianfeng raised his head and said solemnly: "Aze, listen to me, maybe this is the last time our brothers will eat together, after eating, I want to go out for a walk and see this beautiful world." ”
Without waiting for Bai Ze to ask, Qianfeng continued: "Aze, I am suffering from brain cancer, and it has reached an advanced stage, the doctor said that I only have three months to live at most, and you will be the only one in the future, so you must live well." Qianfeng's face was a little gloomy.
Although Qianfeng's words were very quiet, they were like a thunderbolt in Bai Ze's ears, and they buzzed in Bai Ze's mind, and he couldn't come back to his senses for a long time.
"Brother Feng, how can this be, this is not true, you lied to me, right. Bai Ze shook his head and said, his voice trembling, but his eyes looked firmly at Qianfeng's increasingly pale face, hoping that Qianfeng would tell him that this was not true.
He knew that Qianfeng's headache was very serious, but he didn't expect it to be such a terminal illness!
However, Qianfeng did not do what he wanted, but continued: "Aze, in fact, I also want to tell you that this is not true, and I also want to deceive you that this is not true, and I also want to deceive myself once, but this is the truth, a fact that cannot be changed!"
After speaking, Qianfeng slowly took out a hospital examination and laboratory test sheet from his bag and handed it to Bai Ze.
Bai Ze looked at the list in his hand, looked at it, his hands began to tremble, and he muttered: "How can this be, how can this be?"
In today's society, not to mention poor people like Qianfeng, even those millions, tens of millions, billionaires, suffering from this incurable cancer, and they have passed the late stage, then what will be waiting for Qianfeng? There is no other way but death.
When Qianfeng got this invitation to Hades, he already knew that he couldn't do anything but wait for death.
Bai Ze held the list in a daze, without saying a word, from childhood to adulthood, whether it was in the orphanage or in Grandpa Lin's house, or in Grandpa Lin's son after his death, Qianfeng has always taken care of him like a younger brother, the relationship between the two has reached the point where he is closer than his own brother, but now his eldest brother is suffering from this terminal disease, his heart is like being stabbed by thousands of needles, if he can, he hopes that he is suffering from cancer instead of Qianfeng, if he can, he is willing to die instead of Qianfeng.
He suffered from brain cancer, Qianfeng's heart was no less painful than Bai Ze, now he and Bai Ze are adults, life has just begun to improve, I wanted to find a job to make money after high school, marry a wife and have children, and spend the second half of my life peacefully, but the result is ......
Just when the two fell silent, the noodle shop owner brought two bowls of steaming knife-cut noodles, but this kind of knife-cut noodles, which is very luxurious for Qianfeng and the two, did not have a trace of food.
After a few minutes, Qianfeng suddenly 'revealed' a faint smile, patted Bai Ze's shoulder, and said, "Aze, come, let's have a good meal and a drink, and it's not in vain that our brothers meet and 'have a relationship', isn't it cancer? ”
After Bai Ze heard this, he seemed to have figured out something, gritted his teeth, twisted the cap of the bottle and poured wine for the two of them, before saying: "Brother, I understand, this is really nothing, think about how many times our brothers have wandered on the edge of death over the years, not to mention anything else, we will still be brothers in the next life." ”
After speaking. Bai Ze raised the wine glass in his hand.
He also figured out that the eldest brother's path was already doomed, unless a fairy passed by to save the eldest brother, but he also knew that it was impossible, so he was not so sad, at least he would not show it in front of Qianfeng, he wanted to accompany the eldest brother through this last time.
Qianfeng also understands Bai Ze's mood, things have come to this point, although he has too much unwillingness, but he also understands that it is impossible for manpower to fight with Tiandou, fate has written his ending, he can only go on according to it, instead of making himself and Bai Ze sad, it is better to be happy and spend these three months happily.
In this world, Qianfeng has been an abandoned orphan since he was a child, with no relatives, and Qianfeng has never thought of looking for his parents who abandoned him on the snow at the mouth of the orphanage, and the only relatives are Grandpa Lin, the old director who picked him up and Bai Ze back to the orphanage.
The old dean died when he was only three years old, Grandpa Lin has also been dead for more than ten years, Bai Ze has become the only relative in his life, he doesn't want Bai Ze to be sad for him, Bai Ze's academic performance is very good, and he will have a very good life in the future, his academic performance is not bad, but he spends most of his time working to make money, and he has very little time to study, so he pins most of his hopes on Bai Ze.
Seeing Bai Ze raise his wine glass, Qianfeng also raised the glass and touched Bai Ze, the two raised their heads and drank down, looked at each other, and smiled happily, yes, at least now both of them suppressed the sadness in their hearts in their hearts, and just wanted to get drunk until dawn with the people they cared about, as for everything tomorrow, we will talk about it tomorrow.
In this way, the two of them drank frantically in this small restaurant, glass after glass, bottle after bottle, they all knew that this time, it was the first time they drank alcohol, and I am afraid it was the last time, as for the two bowls of noodles, the two of them did not touch at all.
The next morning, Bai Ze woke up in a damp, dark and very small room, and 'rubbed' the painful and cracked temples, Bai Ze sat up hard, he only remembered that he and Qianfeng drank late in a noodle restaurant, as for how he came back, he didn't remember, thinking that the eldest brother should have carried him back.
Thinking of this, Bai Ze hurriedly looked around, but except for the daily belongings of him and Qianfeng, etc., there was no half of Qianfeng's shadow, and finally, Bai Ze found an envelope containing hundreds of yuan and a note on the cabinet at the head of the 'bed', and Bai Ze's heart immediately became uneasy.
Picking up the note, Bai Ze's hand trembled more and more. "Aze, I'm leaving, I want to go quietly alone, don't be sad, don't worry about me, don't look for me, you can't find it, brother is the most relieved in this life, study hard in the future, as for your living expenses, these can only rely on you alone, brother is a pity, nothing can help you, remember, you must live well, for you, but also for brother. ”
In a short sentence, there was no name on his face, but Bai Ze knew that it was written by Qianfeng, and after a while, Bai Ze held his head in his hands, squatted in front of the cabinet and cried loudly, he had never shed a single tear since he was a child, but the sound of crying today did not stop for a long time.
On a wide sidewalk street, Qianfeng was wearing a tattered and dirty Mingshan Middle School uniform, walking slowly with heavy steps, and now, after saying goodbye to Bai Ze, he had no place to go at all, so he could only walk aimlessly.
He knew that staying would only make his and Bai Ze's future life more difficult, and it would also make Bai Ze sad and uncomfortable with him, and he believed that after he left, after a long time, Bai Ze would slowly come out of his sadness and start his new life.
His own situation, Qianfeng himself knows very well, not long after Grandpa Lin passed away, Qianfeng began to get headaches, and then it became more and more serious, and since last year, every headache will make him faint to death.
Bai Ze had to send him to the hospital every time, but Qianfeng refused to do anything, he woke up many times on the way to the hospital with Bai Ze on his back, and he pulled Bai Ze back home, which was not only the reason for not having money to see a doctor, but also that Qianfeng always thought that it was just an ordinary headache, just take a rest, and he didn't expect that he would be so inverted to enzymes, and he actually suffered from brain cancer.
This time he went to the hospital, Bai Ze begged him hard, and he didn't need to go to study to threaten him, so he 'spent' so much hard-earned money from his hard work to go to the hospital for examination, but he never thought that the results of the examination would directly send him to the eighteenth layer of hell.
He endured it at school, he endured it, he was tired and angry at work, he also endured it, he often did things such as helping others to load garbage, take out garbage, dig out sewer pipes, etc., and he endured these every day, he also tried to persevere, he believed that one day, everything would be fine, because there was still hope.
However, God deprived him of his life, sentenced him to death, and made him lose everything he had in the beginning, and he was so powerless that he could not even resist it.
His feet involuntarily moved, he looked in one direction, never looked back, how far he could go, he didn't know, and no one knew.
The sun is very hot in the summer, and occasionally there are pedestrians passing by, but they are all holding umbrellas to shield themselves from the heat, and on the street, only Qianfeng is still holding a strong rile and walking slowly, this is the third day that Qianfeng has left home, at this time he is much thinner than before, his hair is messy and almost rusty, his lips are full of tears, and his face is as pale as paper.
Stopped, Qianfeng looked up at the sky, then at the endless street in the distance, 'touched' the dozen dollars left in his pocket, took out the ancient key hanging on his 'chest' and looked at it, and sighed softly. "Am I really going to die?"
When he came out of the house, Qianfeng left all the money to Bai Ze, and only took away a few dozen yuan, for him, it doesn't matter if he has money on him or not, he also wants to enjoy it before he dies and live a luxurious life, but he also knows that with that little money, he can't be extravagant, and leaving it to Bai Ze will have a great effect.
"Alas, forget it, there is nothing to remember, there is always death in life, and it is not in vain to have Bai Ze as a brother in this life. "After thinking clearly, Qianfeng decided to find a primeval forest and die there quietly before the dozen yuan was 'spent', he has always longed for the tranquility and tranquility of nature, and the primeval forest dragon frame has become his only goal.
The day passed in a blink of an eye, and in the evening, the streets of Fangxian County were brightly lit, and the night scene of the city was composed.
At this time, Qianfeng had arrived at a small town on the edge of the Shenlong Shelf, where there was a night market with stalls, and the noisy shouting and shouting were not heard, and Qianfeng walked forward like a passerby, without making any stops, without taking away a piece of dust.
"Thank you, Master, I will definitely follow what Master said, if I can escape this catastrophe, I will be rewarded with a heavy amount of money. "In front of a fortune-telling booth with a signboard that reads 'Tian Operator', a 'fat' middle-aged man is bowing to an old Taoist priest with white hair and a white 'colored' beard that can be more than a foot long.
"That's it, that's it, forget about the reward or something, remember, the poor way can save you this time, but it can't save you a second time, you can do it yourself. The old Taoist priest waved his hand and interrupted the words of the 'fat' middle-aged man.
"Master, can you show me the good luck? At this time, a big man in a suit came over and asked the old Taoist priest respectfully.
"You're late, the poor road is full of trigrams today, you go back. Hearing this, the man in the suit shook his head and 'revealed' his regret.
"Huh!" The white-haired old Taoist priest turned around, looked at Qianfeng in the crowd, then shook his head, sighed, and said in a low voice: "It's a pity, it's a pity, if you meet a poor Dao ten years earlier...... Alas!" Then the old Taoist priest didn't say much, and opened an envoy to pack up his belongings and prepare to leave.
No one knew that the old Taoist priest secretly calculated a hexagram for Qianfeng, but it was not okay, but he was completely shocked when he calculated, because he couldn't calculate Qianfeng's eight-character numerology, how could he not be shocked.
Since his debut, it has been more than a thousand years, and there is no life in this world that he can't calculate, but today he can't calculate the fate of a person who seems to be dying. "Alas, it's the old way that is persistent, this son shouldn't be a thing in the pool!"
After speaking, the old Taoist priest carried his luggage and belongings, stepped out, but he was already ten meters away, just a few steps, and he had disappeared without a trace, and everyone in this night market did not pay attention, even when the old Taoist priest left, and they did not know how to go.
Qianfeng was still walking slowly, completely unaware that there was an old Taoist priest like a god who had paid attention to him just now, and he also calculated a hexagram for him, but in the end nothing was calculated, but these were obviously not what Qianfeng wanted to pay attention to now, there was only one belief in his heart, hurry to Shennongjia, the primeval forest, and dig a tomb for himself there, everything else has nothing to do with him.
"Boom. "As soon as Qianfeng walked out of the night market, the originally clear sky was suddenly covered with dark clouds, and dull thunder came from the thick dark clouds in bursts, and there was also a dazzling lightning bolt, which hit the ground like a silver 'colored' snake in an orderly manner.
Thousand Winds looked up at the sky, the clouds, thunder, and lightning grinned at the sky as if they were laughing at themselves, and continued to walk forward.
Qianfeng has only one coin left, and what makes him a little relieved is that after walking a short distance from this town, you can enter the famous scenic spot 'Shenlongjia', in fact, the location where Qianfeng is located is already regarded as the Shenlongjia Scenic Area.
"Gu San, what do you mean, you said that the benefits here are half of us, why did you beat my little brother like this, if you don't give me a satisfactory explanation and compensation today, I am not finished with you, otherwise you really think that our Shenlong Gang is afraid of you Sanxi Gang can't succeed." By this time, it was already raining heavily in the town, and a tall middle-aged man shouted on the narrow street in the center of the town.
Soon after his words were spoken, they were dispersed by the dull thunder, and on either side of the tall middle-aged man, there stood a dozen or twenty young men dressed similar to him, all of whom had machetes in their hands, and it was obvious that they were the people who called themselves the Dragon Gang.
On the opposite side of the Shenlong Gang, there is a group of people in sportswear, led by a very short, only one meter five or six, but very 'fat' middle-aged man, who looks like he is in his forties, he is Gu San, the leader of the Sanxi Gang in Fang County, Gu San's side also has more than 20 young people armed with axes, and you don't need to think about it to know that they are members of the Sanxi Gang.
When Gu San heard the tall man's words, he snorted disdainfully before he said, "What do you mean, do you still need to ask? If Qiu Jiang really doesn't know, then I'll tell you." ”
Humpty Dumpty named Gu San continued: "Qiu Jiang, don't think that your Shenlong Gang is the head snake here, I'm afraid of you, in front of my Sanxi Gang, you are nothing, now I can't get used to you, I don't want to continue to share the benefits of this area with you, I'm going to destroy you, now do you understand?"
After Qiu Jiang heard this, his face suddenly turned pale, and he said angrily: "Okay, very good, you Gu San is very kind, but don't forget what you said, I am the head snake here, you have to coil it for me when you get here, you have to coil it for me, and you have to lie down for me if it is a tiger, since you want to jump up and jump, then I have nothing to say." ”
As soon as the words fell, Qiu Jiang then shouted: "Brothers, cut me to death, whoever hacks Gu San, the bastard, will be the second one." ”
Suddenly, more than 20 people from the Shenlong Gang held machetes in their hands and rushed towards the people of the Sanxi Gang in an instant.
"Brothers, give it to me, '' them to death. At the same time as Qiu Jiang gave the order, Gu San also beckoned his brothers to rush over at the same time.
In this place of Shiyan City, there are many gangs, large and small, but the most powerful is the Sanxi Gang, the Sanxi Gang is not only very famous in the city, but also has a lot of weight in the underground forces of other cities in Nanhu, and the Shenlong Gang is that kind of small gang, just do some small things around the Shenlong Frame, but as the local head snake, in the case of the Sanxi Gang did not mobilize people to come, they are not afraid of the Sanxi Gang at all.
In such a small town, it is very good that both sides can mobilize twenty or thirty men to fight here.
Just when the Three Creeks Gang and the Shenlong Gang were about to make contact with each other's swords, an accident appeared.
The lightning and thunder in the sky, the pouring rain still did not have the slightest intention of stopping, in the middle of the two groups of people armed with machetes and axes, at this time stood a young man covered in tattered clothes, looking carefully, you can find that he is wearing the uniform of a middle school, and the dirt on his body has already been washed away a lot by the heavy rain, but his emaciated and pale face shows that this student is abnormal.
Yes, the person who suddenly appeared in the middle of the two gangs was none other than Chikaze.
After a thunderstorm, Qianfeng realized that he had unconsciously walked into the middle of a group of people who were about to fight, because it was raining heavily, and Qianfeng didn't pay attention to this, so he only found out about his situation now, which made Qianfeng a little speechless.
Shaking his head, Qianfeng ignored the surprised gazes of the two gangs, only paused, and continued to walk out of town, as if he had never been here, and as if the two gangs who were about to fight did not exist, he was a real passerby.
Qianfeng felt that it was nothing, everything was none of his business, but these two groups of people were not so easy to talk to, and the appearance of Qianfeng ruined the 'atmosphere' between them and made them very angry.
Just when Qianfeng had just walked out three steps, Gu San suddenly said angrily: "Boy, I don't say a word, I just want to leave like this, then where will I put the face of the Sanxi Gang in the future, ah! ”
Gu San said so, Qiu Jiang didn't do anything to the Sanxi Gang now, he Sanxi Gang wanted face, and the Shenlong Gang wanted it, so Qiu Jiang also thought the same as Gu San, first 'mutilated' Qianfeng to death, and was looking for the Sanxi Gang to settle accounts.
"Brothers, we can't be left behind, give it to me, where there is a place for me to drop the machete. ”
As a result, the Shenlong Gang and the Sanxi Gang instantly pointed the finger at Qianfeng, and forty or fifty people rushed towards him in an instant.
At this time, Qianfeng was not afraid at all, he was already a dying person, and it was not a big difference for him to die early or late, the only regret was that he couldn't find a place with beautiful mountains and rivers to bury himself there.
Looking at the machetes and axes in the hands of these people who rushed towards him, Qianfeng slowly closed his eyes, he knew that death had come, and he was finally free.
"Old Dean, Grandpa Lin, I'm here to accompany you, Aze, farewell, my brother. Qianfeng sighed in his heart, he was ready to meet death.
However, the mutation happened, and just as the chaotic machetes and axes were about to fall on Qianfeng's body, there was a sudden muffled thunder in the sky, and a lightning bolt the thickness of an arm instantly slashed down, with a vast and terrifying might, directly slashing at Qianfeng's body.
After a loud bang, Qianfeng's body was instantly scorched black, obviously lifeless, and the people of the Shenlong Gang and the Sanxi Gang who surrounded Qianfeng were also stunned, and none of them were standing, and the same was true for Qiu Jiang and Gu San, who were a little away from Qianfeng.
No one knew that just when the thunder and lightning first touched the surface of Qianfeng's body, an ancient key in front of Qianfeng's 'chest' suddenly emitted a dazzling colored light, wrapping the soul in the space of Qianfeng's skull at a faster speed than lightning, and instantly rushed into the sky, breaking through the clouds, like a meteor flying into distant outer space.
After the colorful light disappeared, the dark clouds in the sky quickly dispersed, and the thunder and lightning disappeared with them, and the forty or fifty people lying on the streets in the center of the town, who had witnessed a miraculous miracle for themselves, but they did not know anything about it.
At this time, the rain had completely stopped, and it was only at this time that Qianfeng's corpse, which had been scorched black by thunder and lightning, finally slowly fell backwards.
