The second time, laughing at the common people
In December 358 of the Chinese calendar, it was rare for snow to fall in the radiation area under the jurisdiction of the Chinese Federal Government, which was the first time it snowed after the establishment of the Chinese Federal Government. However, what made everyone depressed was that the snow actually fell in the radiation area, and some people who wanted to see the snow scene could only dispel the idea of yearning for the sake of their own lives. Because they are afraid to step into the radiation zone, they are afraid that they will be irradiated and their lives will be short. They would rather never see or understand snow for the rest of their lives, rather than joke with their lives. This year is not only the coldest year for the Chinese federal government, but also the coldest year for the entire radiation area. Many people in the radiation zone were killed by the sudden heavy snowfall, which caused the population of the radiation area to drop sharply, not even half of the original size.
Outside a hut repaired from various discarded parts and some rusty pieces of iron, a young boy of seven or eight years old stood naked in the snow, motionless. The biting cold wind blew mercilessly on his thin body, raising layers of goosebumps. The goose-feathered snow fell gently on his body without melting in the slightest, which proved that the temperature of the little boy's skin was almost the same as that of his surroundings. If it weren't for the occasional sight of the hot breath coming out of the little boy's nostrils and goosebumps on his body to prove that he was alive, many would have thought he was dead. Even so, the little boy did not have the slightest desire to go into the house to keep warm, as if he did not feel a little cold and that the heavy snow did not help him in the slightest.
Time passed minute by minute! Ten minutes later, a vigorous and deep voice suddenly came from inside the hut: "Cangsheng, it's time!" Come in. ”
When the little boy in the snow heard this, he shook off the snow from his body and hurried into the hut. If anyone is here, they will be surprised to find that the running speed of the little boy is comparable to that of some professional athletes, and you must know that this little boy is only seven or eight years old.
When the little boy named Cangsheng entered the house, he jumped quickly into the steaming iron bucket inside the hut. Looking at his familiar appearance, this kind of thing should be done a lot. Next to the big iron bucket, a gray-haired, energetic old man was working hard, because he was burying his head, so he didn't know anything about his appearance, all he could see was his calloused hands constantly taking some unknown things from the table next to him and throwing them into the big iron bucket. Wood the thickness of a calf burned under the steaming iron bucket, and the flames of the wood burned on the walls of the bucket, causing the temperature of the water inside the bucket to rise rapidly. From time to time, the old man grabbed the pieces of wood on the ground with one hand and fed them under the vat, so that the flames under the vat never diminished.
The interior of the cottage was also very simple, except for the large iron bucket in the corner and a table and two small stools with broken corners, only two rusty steel mesh single beds and a dilapidated standing wardrobe remained. The hut is not big, but looking at this simple arrangement, people seem empty in it, which may be the living place of ordinary people in the radiation area.
As the water temperature rose, beads of sweat began to slowly appear on the forehead of the little boy sitting in the large iron bucket. Compared with the pale face just now, the little boy's face was normal at this time. It's just that as time goes by, the water temperature in the big iron bucket becomes hotter and hotter. Looking at the bubbles one by one constantly pouring up from under the big iron bucket, people knew that the water in the big iron bucket had begun to boil at this time.
By this time, the little boy's whole body had become red. However, in the face of such a high water temperature, the little boy sat motionless in the big iron bucket, as if he was not immersed in the boiling water.
When the water in the big iron bucket was completely boiling, the old man stopped adding firewood, but he had no intention of stopping throwing things into the big iron bucket. It wasn't until there was nothing on the table that the old man slowly straightened up to reveal the hideous scars on his face. It was difficult to see what he had looked like from the outline of his face.
The old man looked at the little boy who gritted his teeth and endured the pain in the big iron bucket and said with emotion: "Cangsheng, only by suffering can you become a master!" Only after suffering inhuman pain can you be reborn! Do you know what I named you Cangsheng for? ”
The little boy did not seem to hear the old man's words, and sat motionless in the large iron bucket full of boiling water.
The old man didn't seem to expect the little boy to respond to him, but still said to himself: "Cangsheng! Laugh at the common people! I want you to look down on all living beings in the world, laugh at all living beings in the world, and protect all living beings in the world! That's why I named you Xiao Cangsheng. ”
"Do you know where the scar on my face came from??" The old man pointed to the scar on his face and asked the little boy, who was smiling.
"Huh!! I don't think you would have imagined that the scar on my face would have been framed like this by my best siblings. If it weren't for my life, I would have died twenty years ago. The old man said self-deprecatingly.
"That's why I trained you like this!! The purpose is to help me find out who betrayed me twenty years ago?? Who made me look like a ghost or a ghost?? Who made me hide in Tibet for twenty years and live an inhuman life?? This culprit is not only my enemy, but also the scourge of the Federation. "It seems that twenty years have passed, and the old man is still haunted by the betrayal of his brothers and sisters.
"Because, those brothers and sisters of mine are not ordinary people, they are all benzene cultivators. They have a strong physique, a sharp attack, and an extraordinary background. If you don't have extraordinary skills, how can you fight against them? So don't blame Grandpa for putting you through this inhuman training when you should be enjoying your childhood. Grandpa is also forced to do it, because grandpa's face is not visible at all, there is no way to approach them, and more importantly, they understand my breath!! The old man said with tears streaming down his face.
Xiao Cangsheng, who was sitting in the big iron bucket, slowly opened his eyes, looked at the tearful old man and comforted: "Grandpa, you can rest assured!" I won't let you down, I'll help you find out who betrayed and framed you. ”
"Huh!! I know you're a good boy who is obedient and sensible, and I won't let you take risks unprepared. They thought the wheel of fortune had been destroyed, but they didn't know that I had never kept it with me, and that what they had destroyed was nothing more than a copy. When your body strength is enough, I'll give it to you. The old man looked at the smile and nodded with satisfaction. For such a sensible child, he likes it from the bottom of his heart, his personality and his character meet the requirements of being an agent, otherwise he would not have given him such an important thing to do. The benefits of doing this are not equal to the difficulty of doing this, and the value of the Wheel of Fortune is not measured by things, because there is nothing in the world that can match it.
"Wheel of Fortune?? What's that thing?? Xiao Cangsheng sat in the big iron bucket and endured the pain and asked. It was the first time he had heard this word from the old man's mouth, and when he was brewing potions, the old man had only muttered some of the previous words, and he had not said a word about the wheel of fate.
"Wheel of Fortune!! This is something that makes the world crazy and makes the world red!! If it is born, it will definitely set off a world war again!! The pattern of the world will change again because of it!! The so-called wheel of fortune is a wheel that can change fate. With it, you will be able to live forever, look down on all living beings, be above all living beings, and become a unique god in this worldly realm. From this you can imagine how precious the wheel of fortune is!! The old man recalled what Dr. Naqin had said when he first got the wheel of fate.
Hearing the news that the old man was so shocking to the world, Xiao Cangsheng felt that his pain had not weakened, but that the pain was getting stronger and more unbearable. I can only use the conversation with the old man to distract myself.
"Then grandpa, why don't you use that wheel of fate? Won't you be able to take revenge yourself? Why do you want to give me this heavy responsibility? Xiao Cangsheng was very puzzled by the old man's behavior.
"I thought about it at the beginning, but I dismissed it. There are several reasons for this: first, I have become a person who is not a ghost or a ghost, even if I use the wheel of fate to take revenge, I can only live in hiding in Tibet, which is a great waste of the wheel of fate; Second, the Federation has cultivated me, and I have ruined the hope of the Federation, which makes me shameless to face the Federation, and if I use the wheel of fortune again, it will make me feel even more guilty; Thirdly, and most importantly, because I'm afraid! I'm afraid that after using the wheel of fortune, I will lose control of my heart, and it will cause me to lose myself in the worldly struggle for power. The old man smiled wryly and shook his head.
"Grandpa used to work for the Commonwealth?" Xiao Cang looked at the old man outside, and it wasn't until today that he noticed the meaning of the old man's words, mainly because he had no time to look around when he used to make potions. At that time, he had just started to brew potions, and the taste of it could not be described in words, so where did he have the extra energy to pay attention to the old man's words at that time?
"Yes! Twenty years ago, I was a member of the Federation Dragons. There were 10 people in our group, and I was the fifth in the group, and everyone called me Dragon Five. At the beginning, the relationship between the ten of us was very good, and each of us could sacrifice his life for the rest of the people. The old man remembered, it seems that the old man still misses his original life very much. I really didn't expect that this old man with a scarred face and a hideous face would be the Long Wu of twenty years ago?
After listening to Long Wu's words, Xiao Cangsheng didn't make any more noise, because at this time, he didn't even have the strength to open his mouth. The smell of medicine could be smelled in every corner of the hut, and the white water vapor filled the entire hut, and the water in the big iron bucket had completely become as black as ink, and it seemed that the medicinal properties of the medicinal herbs inside had been completely boiled out.
It's just that this makes Xiao Cangsheng in the big iron bucket bitter, and his originally ruddy face has already turned pale. Now he is not pale from the cold, but he has become pale after enduring pain. Xiao Cangsheng's current appearance makes people feel distressed when they see it, only to see that the skin below his neck is full of blisters. Except for the head, there was no intact skin, and it looked like it was covered with abscesses. He is still a child, but he didn't expect to be able to endure such pain!!
After a while, Xiao Cangsheng, who had endured inhuman pain, finally fainted in Long Wu's slightly appreciative eyes
