Chapter 2: Rebirth on the Run
"Violet Rakshasa" suddenly stopped, "There is no trace of being stepped on in front of me at all. Not good! 'Old King' is in danger! A gunshot rang out from behind.
"Violet Rakshasa" turned and ran, followed by the other killers. Before the "old King" could stay, another gunshot rang out. "Violet Rakshasa paused, realized that something was wrong, and then ran forward at a faster pace. When I went to the place, I saw that 'Old King' and 'Green Rakshasa' had been shot in the forehead and were already dead and could not die anymore. The hearts of the people were filled with fear and panic, and they did not know what to do. The "Red Rakshasa", who had been silent, came out of the crowd and said in a deep voice: "I don't think I need to say it, everyone knows that the organization will punish us!" It's definitely better to live than to die. You might as well go all out to chase the 'Sabertooth Tiger'. After being caught alive, it is handed over to the organization. The future leader, 'Bharat', after venting his hatred, may bypass us because of the heavy losses of the organization's elite killers. ”
As soon as the killers heard this, they began to cooperate with the pursuit of Xu Yiming in an orderly manner. Soon, "Red Rakshasa" discovered the blood droplets left behind by Xu Yiming because of his natural sensitivity to the smell of blood. "The color is red and black, it should be a heavy blow to the kidneys, and it will definitely not be able to escape." Led by her, the killers followed all the way.
Despite the cautious nature of the killers, they inevitably alarmed the birds, beasts and insects of the forest. Xu Yiming got a book of Confession Methods when he went out on a mission, and he is more deaf and clear-sighted than ordinary people after practicing diligently. So, he quickly noticed the movement of the pursuers behind him, and deliberately walked in one direction for a while and then turned back to walk in the other direction. However, because the dagger pierced the kidney, it could not be pulled out in time to bandage, and even if it was covered with his hands, the blood kept oozing out.
Soon, the encirclement formed by the killers became smaller and smaller, and the direction available to Xu Yiming was only ahead. In order to prevent him from fighting back on the verge of death, the killers began to consciously slow down the speed of the pursuit.
As the blood outflow increased, Xu Yiming felt dizzy, his body was cold, and his heartbeat was getting slower and slower. The ears seemed to hallucinate and hear the sound of flowing water. Xu Yiming kept walking forward, as if he saw the dazzling sunlight, the water in front of him was very wide, and the current was also very fast. A thought popped up in his heart: "Since I can't go home, it's better to be buried in the water, it's better than being in the punishment chamber at the base, and maybe I can drift down the current to a place closer to home." So, Xu Yiming concentrated his last consciousness to control his body and fall into the water, and seemed to hear the killers shouting and chasing after him. It's not bad to let these little kings down once in the end. I was secretly proud in my heart, and my consciousness fell into darkness.
Xu Yiming rises and falls in the water, and his consciousness gathers and disperses. After maybe a long time, Xu Yiming felt that the water was coming more and more, and his body was speeding up with the current to go somewhere. When he realized that his body had entered a whirlpool and was constantly spinning and sinking, Xu Yiming's last thought was, "This whirlpool is really deep enough!" ”
"Let's prepare for the aftermath at home, the old man can't do anything." The doctor sighed and packed his medicine box to leave. sighed in my heart: "Pity a good offspring." ”
"Anping! Anping! Wake up! How many times have I told you, the Taiping River at the edge of the village is not peaceful at all, there are water ghosts there, why don't you listen! Now that you're gone, how can I explain to your dead father! Such a good child, why is it gone, God doesn't have long eyes......"
Before Xu Yiming regained consciousness and opened his eyes, he heard a heart-rending cry and a deliberately suppressed low sob. There were also a few sighs and low conversations outside the house, "The Xu family is dead like this, it's really pitiful!" Xu Xiucai is such a good person, he greets people with a smile every time he sees them...... As a talented master, he has never looked down on us shabby households, God is really blind......" "Who said it wasn't." Before Xu Xiucai died, he wrote Spring Festival couplets for free to us every Spring Festival, and never confiscated anything. Alas! ”
Listening to their conversation and the cries around them, a memory and sad emotions suddenly poured into Xu Yiming's mind, causing bursts of swelling pain. Oh, it turns out that the owner of this body is called Xu Anping, and he lives in Yujia Village, Qingping County, Anlu Prefecture. His father is Xu Xiucai, who moved to Yujia Village with his mother 18 years ago and is the only person with a foreign surname in the village. Seventeen years ago, my mother died in childbirth; Seven years ago, my father died of overwork and cold. Later, he used the little money and calligraphy and paintings left by his father to barely make ends meet, and he was always helped by Father Yu and Aunt Yu next door. In my memory, there is also a masked Uncle Lin, because he fed him a few mouthfuls of hot water on the side of the road in the snowy winter when he was eight years old, and he said that he could fulfill one of his wishes. I remembered that my father was sad under the dim light because the family had no money to buy rice, so he said that he wanted to make a lot of money. He was later seen every once in a while, and he trained himself to become an Assassin. What remains in my memory is constant beatings, sword training, beatings, learning to set traps, beatings, and learning to use poisonous .......
In this way, the one who is crying next to her should be Aunt Yu who has been taking care of herself, the one who is crying in a low voice is Yi Lian'er, the adopted daughter of the Yu family who is her childhood sweetheart, and the one who keeps sighing is the honest Daddy Yu. Thinking of the care and care of this family, Xu Yiming's nose was slightly sour, this is the warmth of the home he has been longing for in his last life! So, he secretly made up his mind: "From today on, there will be no more Xu Yiming, only Xu Anping." ”
Xu Anping slowly opened his eyes, and the first thing he saw was the dilapidated tent on the bed and the roof of the thatched house, and then he saw Aunt Yu covering her face and crying bitterly at the head of the bed, and Yi Lian'er with pear blossoms and rain. "Auntie, don't cry, I'm still here."
Aunt Yu thought she was hallucinating, and seemed to hear An Ping calling herself. "Could it be that Anping left something behind and is not at ease when he walks?" With this thought, Aunt Yu immediately stopped crying, and when she looked up, she was startled. "Anping, don't scare the eldest mother, if you lack anything, the eldest mother will burn it to you."
Xu Anping couldn't help but smile bitterly, "Auntie, don't be afraid. If you don't believe me, come and touch my arm. A dead man's arm is not hot. ”
When Aunt Yu was still frightened, Yi Lian'er had already rushed over, reached out to pull Xu Anping's hand, and said in surprise: "Great! Anping's brother is not dead. That's great! As he spoke, he shouted for joy and jumped up in front of the bed.
Aunt Yu reacted at this time, and hurriedly beckoned Father Yu to come over. "Daddy, come here! Anping is not dead, Anping is fine! ”
Father Yu rushed over with Uncle Yu next door. "Anping, it's good that you're not dead! That old quack doctor just now, the next time I see him, I have to beat him! At this time, the old doctor who walked to the entrance of the village suddenly sneezed. So, he shook his body, tightened his clothes, and muttered, "It's just autumn, why do you feel a little cold." This ghost weather! ”
Aunt Yu began to fold her hands at this time, "Amitabha, God is not strange! Then he pulled Yi Lian'er aside and began to count, "What a girl, she's about to get married, and she's still yelling." If you continue like this, how can you get married, and see who is willing to marry you...... Tomorrow, I will find Aunt Wang in the village to tell you about your marriage, and I will marry you the day after tomorrow......" Yi Lian'er lowered her head and blushed as she listened to Aunt Yu's chanting as always, and pursed her lips vigorously, but the smile on the corner of her lips couldn't hide it.
An hour later, Aunt Yu saw that the sun was about to set, so she ended her broken thoughts and came to the bed, squeezed Father Yu aside, and said to Xu Anping: "Anping, you have a good rest first, and let Lian'er talk to you." Auntie, I'm going to make you egg noodles to eat, and I'll let Lian'er bring them over later. ”
At this time, Xu Anping heard the sound of "goo-goo" swallowing saliva from the door, and it turned out to be Yu Xiaohu, the son of Daddy Yu, who was hungry again. Xu Anping knew that Aunt Yu saved eggs to exchange salt with the private salt farmers in the village, and the Yu family was reluctant to eat even if it was a New Year's holiday, so he hurriedly said: "Auntie, no need." I'm fine, just get some sleep. ”
Aunt Yu waved her thick arm, "It's okay, make up for it, and take care of your body as soon as possible." Daddy, let's go, don't disturb Anping's rest. Lian'er, be optimistic about Anping, don't let him get up and walk around. As soon as he left the door of the hall, he grabbed Yu Xiaohu's ears and left, and his thoughts arose, "I don't know how to return home all day, is it itchy again?" What's the deal with the mud on the clothes? Did you fight with Chubby again? …… Daddy, bring me the broom, I have to skin him today...... Don't run ......"
Listening to the voice from next door, Xu Anping and Yi Lian'er smiled heartily and felt warm. Neither of them spoke, Yi Lian'er tucked the corners of the quilt for a while, and pulled the mattress for a while. Xu Anping closed his eyes and recuperated, but he was actually very distressed. He has experienced feelings and has already sensed Yi Lian'er's affection, but the possessed nerd has always regarded her as a sister, and he has just been betrayed by a woman, and he really has no heart to fall in love. looked up at Yi Lian'er, who was looking around, and couldn't help muttering softly: "Whatever, I don't believe that I can't cure a fourteen-year-old girl." Maybe after a while, the feelings will fade. ”
"Brother Anping, Brother Anping, what are you talking about?" Yi Lian'er asked curiously with black and white eyes.
"Nothing, nothing, I'm saying that the egg noodles at night must be delicious." Xu Anping was embarrassed and almost fell into Yi Lian'er's crystal gaze.
After a while, a long-lost fragrance wafted from next door. Aunt Yu shouted loudly, "Lian'er, come over and bring the egg noodles to Anping to eat." ”
"Brother Anping, don't move. I'll be back soon. Yi Lian'er walked over quickly, brought egg noodles and hurriedly put them on the table, and hurriedly touched her delicate ears with her white and tender little hands.
"Lian'er, slow down! You can wait for it to cool down before bringing it over. ”
Yi Lian'er rolled her eyes cutely and said, "It's not that you don't know how greedy Xiaohu is. If he is not careful, he will be able to eat the eggs. Wait a while, and you won't even see the egg noodle soup. ”
Xu Anping smiled, "Then let him eat!" Eight or nine-year-old children are gluttonous. I'm in good health, so I don't need to make up for it. You tell the lady not to boil the eggs tomorrow. ”
Yi Lian'er looked incredulous, and said with a straight face: "I don't believe it." You don't know how scary it is today, the old doctor said you can't be saved. As she spoke, she pouted and blew on the hot air from the egg noodles. After a while, the noodles became warm.
"Come, Brother Anping, open your mouth. Yes! Yi Lian'er picked up the noodles and put the eggs in Xu Anping's mouth.
This yellow-haired girl is still here to feed herself, and she is in her forties in her two lifetimes combined, and she is really going back more and more. Xu Anping said embarrassedly: "Lian'er, I'll come by myself." I'm much bigger than you, so I don't need you to feed me. As he spoke, he tried to raise his arm, but he couldn't exert his strength at all.
"Brother Anping, you're sick, don't move. When you're well, I won't feed you. As he spoke, he smiled playfully, and handed the noodles closer to Xu Anping's mouth.
Xu Anping opened his mouth helplessly, and the fragrance of eggs also poured into his nostrils. He was convinced that it was the best noodle he had ever eaten in his life.
Yi Lian'er fed extremely seriously, and a few points of crystal sweat began to appear on the tip of her nose. Xu Anping was embarrassed to look at Yi Lian'er, his eyes wandered left and right, and through the crack in the door that was not closed, he saw Yu Xiaohu grinning outside, and it could be seen from the shape of his mouth that he was complaining that Xu Anping had snatched his egg noodles.
Under the supervision of Yi Lian'er's firm eyes, Xu Anping not only ate a large bowl of egg noodles, but also drank the egg noodle soup. Yi Lian'er put down the dishes and chopsticks, clapped her hands happily and said, "Okay." Brother Anping, you will get better soon. I'm going to eat too. ”
Xu Anping knew that Yi Lian'er's dinner was a nest, with a few pickles. My heart suddenly felt a little soft.
