Chapter Twenty-Four: The Woman Who Rises in the Night
The price is significant.
Although Li Fengqi used the power of Wu Lihua's waist to rebound from Chaoge's sweep at the critical moment, he sideways dodged the knife that covered his face, but his left back did not dodge.
It is precisely because Wu Lihua was swept away that this knife is not powerful enough.
It was also a mistake in her miscalculation.
Otherwise, if this knife goes down, even if it hits the back, it can kill Li Fengqi on the spot.
Rao is like this, the white bones can still be clearly seen in the wound on Li Fengqi's back, the blood is gurgling, staining him into a bloody man, and the air that seems choked because of the fire is filled with a strong smell of blood.
The two confronted each other again.
Wu Lihua put the longbow on her back, holding the knife and looking at Li Fengqi coldly.
Li Fengqi pressed the sword.
He has now completely fallen into the disadvantage, even if he is full of spiritual power, he can be dragged down by injuries.
Wu Lihua didn't have much spiritual power, but she was not injured.
Li Fengqi smiled bitterly, "You are very smart." β
And it's stable.
All the chosen ones have gone through a long period of loneliness, and under the tempering of the years, everyone's character has become extremely calm and sees things more clearly.
Wu Lihua sneered, "You pampered people, how do you know what dark years I have experienced, I want to live in an ugly world, live well, I have put in a hundred thousand times more effort than you, but ......"
I'm still living like a dog.
Am I not working hard?
In the almost isolated mountainous area, her parents have been facing the loess with their backs to the sky for many years, in exchange for just not being hungry, and the dark night of doing nothing has sent her a few younger brothers and sisters.
With a few more mouths, it is even more difficult for a poor home.
The dilapidated school in the village, after all, not every teacher can burn himself,
Wu Lihua dropped out of school at the age of thirteen and walked out of the mountains.
She wants to change.
Let parents no longer wait for old age and death, so that younger siblings can go to school, high school, college, graduate school, and even study abroad.
She came to the world of flowers with a dream.
The reality is so cruel.
She was a child laborer and no one dared to ask for her.
I finally found a job in a fly restaurant, the boss is very fierce, the boss lady is very good, and she always sneaks to get her an extra fifty yuan every month.
Half a year later, the proprietress returned to her parents' house, and that night, the boss climbed into her bed.
She resisted.
To no avail.
She cried all night, weak and helpless, she didn't know what to do, she chose to call the police at dawn, and when she went out, she met the proprietress who came home, and she relented.
Such a good hostess, but also a poor person.
So Wu Lihua lied and said that she would go back to her hometown.
The proprietress stuffed her with two hundred dollars.
Later, she worked odd jobs everywhere, working desperately, just trying to make money, and eventually worked in a small workshop that made board ducks until she was eighteen years old.
She went into an electronics factory.
I met a boy who liked to hear his dreams, and he said that he would take her to see the most beautiful clouds and the most beautiful snow in the future, and that when she got married, she would bring her parents and younger siblings to the city.
She believed.
However, she was too naΓ―ve, and when the boy said these words, he put his arms around her on the bed in the rental house, and the boy's eyes when he spoke were just greedy for her body.
Never believe what a man says in bed!
The boy is gone.
Took his money, and hers, and left, leaving her pregnant.
Wu Lihua fell into the night.
She learned to take advantage of everything available to her, and God gave her a nice face and a great figure, and she didn't waste her talent.
Soon, she had her own rental house.
I had my own nice clothes.
She still has extra money to send back, the family has repaired the house, and her younger siblings can study.
She was tired.
Wandering in the night, humble as a dog.
She doesn't feel happy at all, she knows that she is breaking the law and committing a crime, she just wants to earn enough money as soon as possible, so that her family and herself can live a happy life, and then ...... and atone for their sins.
She hates men, she doesn't plan to get married in this life, and when she has money in the future, she will adopt or sponsor children who are born poor like her.
She also hated those sensual men more and more.
Until sixty years ago.
Early in the morning, when she woke up, she had already put on a mask, hoping to wait for the man next to her while asking him to tip a little more with sweet words.
However......
The man is not there.
The whole world is gone, and she is imprisoned in an empty city by a layer of Xuanguang.
Then she got a bow and a knife.
The bow is "shooting the sun".
The knife is "oblivion".
It's all imitations.
Real shooting and oblivion, in Kyushu.
The exercises she received came from the Wu Clan.
The Wu clan is good at the flesh, Wu Lihua has practiced for three years, and she found that her body has probably reached the point where the sword and gun in the martial arts novel are invulnerable.
She doesn't understand.
But she understands one thing, she is no longer a lowly woman in the night who is helpless.
She was in control of her own destiny.
She yearns for ......
Then, a man came to the empty city where she was, a man, very coincidentally, it was the boy who deceived her body and all her savings in the electronics factory back then.
He didn't recognize her.
He used a knife.
She can't win.
The man who has been lonely for decades did not kill her with a knife, but wanted to strip her naked and enjoy it before doing it.
She waited for her time.
In the last moments of the man's screaming, she struck.
Wu Lihua will always remember the panic and despair of the boy who grew up and was still a scumbag at the last moment, and she liked his expression very much, stabbing one after another......
Every knife is her hatred.
The second man she killed, unfortunately, was not the boss back then.
Now, she's going to kill the third man.
Stared at Li Fengqi, "So you men deserve to die." β
Li Fengqi smiled bitterly, the pain of the wound on his back was tearing his nerves, "I don't know what kind of injury you have suffered, and I don't want to know, because the more we know about the story, the more human nature in our hearts will appear, I only know one thing: after coming to this city, if you want to kill me, then-"
After a pause, "Those who kill will always be killed." β
That's enough.
Because we are not Chen Shu, we all have no choice.
Wu Lihua nodded, "The so-called chosen son, no one is a pure and flawless White Lotus, I never feel that I am a good person, since I have the thoughts and actions of killing, I am also ready to be killed." β
How ironic that even scum can become the chosen one.
Li Fengqi was silent for a while, and suddenly said, "Actually, there is." β
The boy who practiced boxing.
He doesn't kill.
It's not because he doesn't have enough strength, on the contrary, he is very strong.
Don't kill......
Probably because I don't want to kill people.
It's a pity that most of the chosen ones don't have as good a life as him, he doesn't kill people, and others can't kill him.
And the average chosen son, who doesn't kill?
Can only be killed.
It is precisely because of this that Li Fengqi, like Chen Shu, hates the mastermind behind all this very much, and makes fun of life like this, even if he is an immortal, he is angry and resentful.
Wu Lihua sighed, "I don't want to know how others are, I only know one thing." β
I want to control my own destiny with my own hands, and no one can stop me.
I don't want to be humble like a dog anymore.
I can live, and I don't need to sell my body and dignity to live.
for I have a longbow to shoot the sun.
I have daggers to forget.
I, Wu Lihua, a woman who rose from the night, must go to the other side of the light and find the beauty that belongs to me.
That's all.
