Chapter 1 Lightning Strike

3 July 2012. All the schools in the Pearl River Delta erupted in loud cheers, and they were on holiday. Parents can also get together with their children, and the place is lively.

But all this is so incompatible with Zhao Xiaobai.

Dressed in a black T-shirt, he looks like a person walking in the night. The clothes rolled up in the hands can faintly see a little dark red trace.

Zhao Xiaobai was very calm, dragging his physically and mentally tired body back to the home of less than 30 square meters. This is the only safe haven that can calm Zhao Xiaobai's heart. He first walked to the altar and offered incense to his deceased parents and younger brother. Then I went to pull the clothes that were rolled in my hands, revealing a dog-legged scimitar, a pistol, and a yellow bullet, with a strong smell of blood and a dark red blade, which had silently explained everything.

Zhao Xiaobai simply dealt with the bloodstains and the blade, and was so calm that people shuddered. I took a shower, looked at myself in the mirror very seriously, and shaved my beard.

Today, he has killed his godfather's family cleanly, with pain in his happiness. But Zhao Xiaobai did not regret it. Looking at himself in the mirror, Zhao Xiaobai was in a trance, and his mind returned to thirteen years ago.

Zhao Xiaobai was only fifteen years old that year, he had a good future, and he also had a happy family. His father was the chairman of a local group with 100,000 employees. It was in a car accident that Zhao Xiaobai lost all his family, father, mother and a new younger brother under the age of one.

The perpetrator fled, and the police have not found him until now. What an ironic result, a local celebrity company boss car accident, the police are actually very perfunctory.

The inheritance was divided among his father's partners and relatives, and the young Zhao Xiaobai only received a meager 30,000 yuan and a small house of no more than 30 square meters.

None of this made Zhao Xiaobai regret, what made Zhao Xiaobai regret the most was that as he grew older, he showed his talents, was appreciated by his godfather, took him by his godfather's side, and was active between black and white.

The more he came into contact, the more he knew. Suddenly, he found out that the death of his parents was not as simple as a car accident. The collapse of the business empire in the past hides a huge black hand. And this black hand is his godfather, a majestic middle-aged man who was full of admiration for Zhao Xiaobai in the past.

In order to take revenge, Zhao Xiaobai tried his courage for three years, and today, he has fulfilled his wish.

Today it's all over! I will return to the proper trajectory of life and be an ordinary person. Wipe off the water traces and put on clothes, Zhao Xiaobai skillfully took out a pack of Sanxian noodles and opened it, put it on a large bowl, then picked up the hot water kettle, and put boiling water and some pickles into it. This is Zhao Xiaobai's dinner.

In order to take revenge, Zhao Xiaobai scattered all his family wealth, and now he is penniless, and he has been eating such food recently.

After dinner, Zhao Xiaobai took out an ancient book that was already dark yellow at the bedside, and the book was written in regular script with the four big characters of "Zhao Family Genealogy". This genealogy of the Zhao clan is said to have been written by a scholar of the Zhao Xiaobai clan three hundred years ago, why is it said? Because no one knows whether it is true or false, if according to the genealogy, Zhao Xiaobai is the royal descendant of the Song Dynasty, which is known as the most cowardly in history.

But where do you know these now, in history, the Southern Song Dynasty was wiped out by the Mongols, and a large number of Zhao family relatives fled to Guangdong with Huang Yanjing. Many historical authorities have frankly said that some of the people surnamed Zhao in Guangdong have the blood of the Zhao and Song royal families.

Even if you, Zhao Xiaobai, are really the orthodox descendants of the Song Dynasty, so what's there? Are you still preparing for a rebellion? Or can this give Zhao Xiaobai any benefits?

Now that Zhao Xiaobai picks it up and looks at it, it is naturally not YY. Instead, he was going to sell this genealogy, after all, it has a history of more than 300 years. Now that the price of antiques is so expensive, this book should be worth hundreds of thousands, which is Zhao Xiaobai's capital to start again. Although Zhao Xiaobai can go to grab and go, Zhao Xiaobai is already physically and mentally exhausted, and he just wants to walk the right path safely and steadily. Ten years of recognizing a thief as a father, three years of lying on the salary and tasting revenge, the physical and mental damage during the period, how can it be simply described by pen and ink!

A flash of light slashed into the dark room, followed by "Boom! "There was a loud bang. Zhao Xiaobai hurriedly walked to the window, only to see that the rain outside had now gone down the size of beans. Zhao Xiaobai's face changed greatly.

Because the house is too small and Zhao Xiaobai does not have a balcony, in order to have enough sunlight, Zhao Xiaobai, like other residents, hangs his clothes outside. However, Zhao Xiaobai was delayed today because of other things, and he didn't notice that the sky was already full of dark clouds. Now it's outside, it's just Zhao Xiaobai's clothes.

If it was peaceful, now Zhao Xiaobai used this place as his secret stronghold for revenge, and he only brought three sets of clothes, one of which was still worn when he went to take revenge, and he had to be disposed of.

On the staircase, Zhao Xiaobai was like a spirit monkey, stepping several steps in one step.

As soon as I got out of the staircase, rain the size of a soybean had fallen.

The rain was very violent, and the fall on the skin of ** made people feel a faint blow. Ignoring these pains, Zhao Xiaobai hurriedly rushed to the bamboo frame, just raised his hand and was about to sweep it with one hand, but found that he still had a genealogy in his hand at this time, he was stunned, Zhao Xiaobai was a little depressed, and he was still ready to sell this genealogy to survive!

This genealogy is not easy to lose, and it is easy to be spilled by rain when you hold it in your hand. Zhao Xiaobai, who was very vigorous, quickly thought of a way, put the family tree in his arms with one hand, and packed up his clothes with the other.

Five or six pieces of clothing were immediately swept by Zhao Xiaobai with one hand and taken off the hanger. After simply adjusting the gesture of holding the clothes, Zhao Xiaobai quickly turned around and rushed towards the stairs. Suddenly, a gust of wind blew, and Zhao Xiaobai, who was blowing, squinted, hunched his waist, and lowered his center of gravity.

"Smack!" A loud bang suddenly sounded, Zhao Xiaobai tried to open his eyes, and found that it was actually the big banyan tree near the stairs that had collapsed! It's nothing, after all, it didn't hit anyone, but it blocked the staircase.

Zhao Xiaobai couldn't help frowning, and didn't complain, this is not Zhao Xiaobai's habit. After looking around, Zhao Xiaobai quickly found a place to shelter from the rain.

It was a kapok tree not far away, and this kapok tree was very tall, seventeen or eighteen meters high, and it was said to be forty or fifty years old. It is five or six stories high, which is a little higher than the building where Zhao Xiaobai lives, and the branches and foliage are also very dense.

When he arrived at the Kapok tree, looking up at the dark and depressing sky, the electric snake flickered from time to time, and Zhao Xiaobai couldn't help but feel a little irritable. Zhao Xiaobai felt that he seemed to have overlooked something, but Zhao Xiaobai only said that it was because of the sky.

Suddenly, Zhao Xiaobai figured it out! A junior high school physics teacher once said that you should never take shelter under a tree that is taller than a building during a storm. Because lightning is easily attracted to tall objects. And although wood does not conduct electricity, when it rains, there will be more water, and he will replace wood and become a conductor.

But this is already Zhao Xiaobai's last consciousness in this world. A dazzling white light flashed, "Boom! "The kapok tree made a loud noise, and the tall kapok tree turned into a torch.

And only a charred body was left on the ground, and when no one was paying attention, the "Family Tree" that Zhao Xiaobai put on his chest suddenly bloomed with a ball of light and sank into Zhao Xiaobai's brain.

A brief message appeared on the local evening news: Today, a thunderstorm suddenly arrived in a certain place, and a teenager was killed by lightning because he was sheltering from the rain under a big tree. If you encounter lightning when you go out, please do not take shelter from the rain under trees to prevent lightning strikes.

In contrast, the local tragedy that broke out has attracted the attention of others.
