Volume 1 Chapter 19 I'll Tell You a Story

After listening to Su Lanxi's words, Ma Tao's head buzzed.

Regardless of what he said at the beginning, Ma Tao really doesn't have the slightest idea of avenging his second daughter.

In this crisis-ridden world where he may die at any time, Ma Tao just needs a powerful teammate, and he met the two sisters of the Su family by mistake, but knowing it doesn't mean that he has to work hard, Ma Tao knows that he is still very weak, but Ma Tao believes that he can work hard to become stronger, but when it is, no one knows, maybe a few years, maybe decades, maybe in the end, he will be like the old man here, relying on the memories of the story of the past to grow old.

Ma Tao can wait, can this Su Lanyu and Su Lanxi wait? Ma Tao didn't know, he just felt that since God had given their two daughters a chance, he shouldn't let them be in danger all day long, the only thing he didn't expect was that his sister Su Lanxi had feelings for him, and he also had a good impression of her, which was very fatal and dangerous.

Like it means reluctance, it means can't let go, Ma Tao has feelings for Su Lanxi, and he doesn't want her to be hurt, so he has such an idea.

"Ma Tao"

Maybe it was because he wanted to open it, Su Lanxi burst into tears, wiped the corners of his eyes, and reluctantly showed a sweet smile at Ma Tao

"I can stay, but can I tell you a story at the end?"

Su Lanyu, who was on the side, saw that her sister actually agreed, and opened her mouth, wanting to say but didn't say anything.

Ma Tao thought about it, it's just a story, and Su Lanxi has agreed to stay, the chance of the two of them meeting again is basically equal to zero, the goal has been achieved, and he will listen to it, so he nodded and agreed.

"Once upon a time there were two good carefree sisters, the elder sister was optimistic and cheerful, the younger sister was introverted and stubborn, they had a not very big but very happy home, they lived in a very remote village, this small village was very strange, the village was covered by a black bunker on all sides, including the sky, and all kinds of lights and lighting equipment were overhead instead of the sun, moon and stars, like an inverted bowl that blocked the people in the village inside, both strong and tall, and the village where they lived has always circulated such a prohibition, That is, all people are not allowed to open the door outside the wall, absolutely not, such a rule is said to have been handed down for hundreds of years, and it is still enforced, everyone in the village is very curious about the world outside the gate, especially the children, even more so, those children have asked a lot of people, the parents say that there are man-eating beasts outside, the old people say that there is a bottomless cliff outside, and the young people say that there is another world full of dangers, And my sister thinks that the unknown world outside the wall is the fairy tale world mentioned in the book, but unfortunately all the children don't believe it, they all say that what she said is false, the children often go there to play, especially the sisters will lie on the iron door to listen to the world outside the door, but unfortunately the iron door is too thick, nothing can be heard, which intensified their curiosity, time flies, the sisters have grown up, the sister chooses to practice martial arts, practice the village knife skills every day is not in class, the younger sister is better at learning, was left in the academy to continue to learn knowledge, but my sister still remembered the persistence of her childhood, until one day, in order to confirm that the world outside the wall is a fairy tale world, a person secretly stole the key to the village chief's house, and came to the thick iron door with excitement, my sister carefully inserted the key into the keyhole, the iron door opened, but the iron door was not a fairy tale world, but a piece of urban waste, all the houses and streets were covered with moss, and the green mountains were all over the field, and there was no end in sight. Many big trees and shrubs have grown tenaciously from the windows of collapsed buildings, and the village where they have lived for generations is built on this ruin, the magic is that the high wall in the village is invisible from the outside, if it weren't for the open iron door behind him like a space door suspended in the void connecting the two worlds, my sister would really think that she had stepped into another world with one foot, the outside world is very big, you can't see the edge at a glance, my sister saw the outside world for the first time and then knew that the sky was blue, I finally saw the white clouds in the textbook, really beautiful, all kinds of them, my sister wandered around aimlessly, curious all the way to see here, research there, very happy, because she could finally tell her childhood friends what the outside world was like, although it was not the same as imagined in the fairy tale, but there was a different kind of beauty, just this blue sky and white clouds were enough to say that the last three days and three nights, however, a sense of crisis suddenly made my sister shiver all over, The younger sister who was picking all kinds of flowers and plants suddenly got up, and there were more than a dozen men wearing fine iron armor in front of her, and at this moment they also looked at the sister who was collecting flowers and plants in front of them with a surprised face, and probably didn't expect that there would be a woman here, at this time the sister still didn't notice the danger of approaching, on the contrary, because she met strangers outside her village and said hello to them stupidly, the dozen or so strangers in armor rubbed their eyes invariably, making sure that the woman in front of them was not hallucinating, glanced at each other and surrounded the woman in the middle, but the ridiculous sister thought that this was a way to welcome others in the outside world, and actually waited for their encirclement with a smile, until these people stretched out their claws to the private parts of her body, tore her clothes, and sealed her mouth She knew that these people were bad people, but unfortunately it was too late, she had fallen into the clutches of the devil, and she was in a catastrophe, in the face of these dozen hooligans and villains, she resisted desperately, but her fists were hard to match her hands, Soon she was pressed to the ground and couldn't move, my sister regretted it at this moment, regretted not listening to the old people, but it was too late, just when my sister was ready to give up resistance, a scream saved her, I saw a man who took off his armor and was hugging his sister with a smiling face was pierced through the heart with a knife, staring at the eyes that didn't believe and watched in fear the chest pierced on his chest fell weakly, his eyes were closed and he couldn't die anymore, looking up, In front of me, it was my sister who miraculously appeared next to my sister and stabbed this key knife, and then I knew, that day it turned out that my sister came to send new clothes to my sister, but I didn't find my sister, I inquired all the way to hear about the village chief lost the key, my sister was quick-minded, and I thought of my sister in an instant, and my anxious sister rushed to the wall when I saw the open iron door, my frightened heart was going to jump out, and I chased my sister's footprints all the way to save my sister here, but those armored men were not vegetarians, At this moment, I saw a woman and killed their teammates, how can they not be crazy, all screaming and rushing up, at first, my sister relied on the blade in her hand and the sneak attack to kill two, and then they all put on armor, that thing can't be cut with a knife, it can't be pierced, a knife is a white mark, the other party has nothing, but my sister tried her best to save my sister in the end, but her body was also scratched all over the body by the weapons of those armored men, and the skin that was once white and smooth as snow became scarred, and the two stumbled all the way back, Those people are chasing behind, the terrible thing is that those armored men actually know how to control all kinds of monsters to block the two sisters, the panicked sisters got lost outside the wall, and when they were about to be captured back by those armored men, the village chief led many people to appear and repelled those people and monsters, but no one was happy, the sisters' parents stepped forward with tears and gave the two girls a slap, and the corners of their mouths were bloody, but the sister didn't know what was wrong, The village chief sighed and said: It's all fate, so he took all the villagers back to the village, the depressed sisters followed their parents home, but they didn't expect that as soon as they entered the door, the mother hugged the two of them in pain, the father began to smoke without saying a word, and the mother finally cried and stopped moving, turned around and began to go into the house to pack up things, and soon gave the sisters a package to let them go quickly, the sister still didn't understand what was going on, and she was stubborn She still thought that the door would be fine if she didn't go out in the future, but the result was not, that night, The whole village was unusually quiet, the whole village was shrouded in an inexplicable grief, no one slept, all the old people looked at the wall outside the window in a daze, all the mothers hugged the children in their arms tightly, all the fathers clenched all the weapons that could be found in the village and waited for something unknown, and then, suddenly, all the walls collapsed countless gaps, countless monsters rushed in like a flood of beasts, countless hooligans and villains plundered everywhere, and the men of the village resisted heroically, but soon fell in a pool of blood, The woman and the child cried and were dragged down by the hooligans and villains and pulled away in large boxes similar to containers, and the sisters also separated that day, the younger sister was crushed under the rubble by the collapsed house and fainted directly, and when she woke up again, the quiet and peaceful village was no longer there, broken bricks and tiles were everywhere, the house was burning with billowing smoke, the broken walls, the blood on the ground had blackened and even coagulated and dried up, the sister cried and shouted the names of her parents, calling her sister's name, How I wish there was someone I knew who told me that everything in front of me was an illusion, but no one answered her, my sister searched for a long time, and finally looked at everything in front of her and couldn't believe that it was all caused by herself, looking at it, no one could survive except herself, at this moment she wanted to cut off her hands, if she could restore everything here, and then, the billowing black smoke burning here attracted a caravan, and they found her sister on the ruins and gave her something to eat, But I didn't expect that these people were not good, the caravan boss painted his sister's beauty, deceived her into avenging her and planned to have her body, but his sister inadvertently discovered his conspiracy, the caravan boss saw that the treacherous plan was revealed, and the murderous appearance was revealed, and he planned to use force that night, but he didn't want to be bitten off by his sister A piece of meat, the caravan owner who was angry and took her to the black market, and originally planned to hand it over to the people here to discipline her for a few days and then take it back after her sister was honest and obedient, But the caravan owner suddenly fell in love with something in the black market, and sold his sister to the black market with his backhand, and in those days, the poor sister lived in the black market as well as a pig and a dog, and she was tortured worse than death, she was already planning to accept her fate, as for revenge? Even the future life is an unknown how dare she dare to hope, who she was sold to, she will serve him well in the future, a lifetime has passed like this, but it didn't come to pass, God has eyes, after so many hardships, God finally arranged a good person for her, and she can meet her sister again, although this benefactor is sometimes stupid, but he is the best good person his sister has met in this life except for his family, he is like the light of the dawn, dispelling all the darkness in his sister's heart, breaking all fear, also found the answer to continue to live, my sister will remember him for the rest of her life, and will never forget him, my sister has decided that no matter how difficult and difficult the road will be in the future, follow him, accompany him through thick and thin, even if it is death, I want to be with him, but that good person......... chose to abandon her sister again, her sister was very scared, because she didn't know how to spend her life without this good person, like a small boat lost on the sea, facing the fear of losing the lighthouse to guide the way, she became afraid and uneasy again...... "Su Lanxi said more and more sad, and finally couldn't cry anymore and hid her face and cried bitterly, Su Lanyu on the side also heard the eyes slightly red, but she didn't cry, and hugged her sister tightly in her arms.

"I ........."

Ma Tao didn't know what to say, this was obviously Su Lanxi's own story, which could be called suffering, Ma Tao really didn't know how to comfort the two of them.

"Don't worry, I will definitely go for revenge, I just don't want you to get hurt, I really don't want to abandon you..."

After thinking about it again, Ma Tao still explained.

"My sister just doesn't want to...... Never mind...... Don't talk about that."

Su Lanyu comforted Su Lanxi in her arms, and then said after answering for her

"I'm curious, whether you are a man or not, since we are not afraid, what are you worried about, for us, living is already a second life, this is equivalent to picking up a life, we are carrying the hatred of the whole village, we must not be like this, in other words, do you want us to take revenge or not"

Ma Tao was speechless when he asked this question, he just didn't want them to be hurt again, but now it seems impossible.

"She's right..."

A voice came from the corner of the cabin, and the three of them heard it, it was Uncle Guang.

"In this chaotic world, everyone is lucky to be alive, there are many people who carry all kinds of burdens forward, glory, hatred, mission, all of them are breathless, those who can carry the burden forward, are worthy of respect, those who are overwhelmed by the burden, can not be ridiculed, because the weight of the burden on everyone's shoulders is different, the weight is different, since it is destined to move forward, why not live a little free, think so much, in vain and add weight to yourself, people live very tired, I think the end of the story should be beautiful and happy, but the process must be hard, am I right, kid? ”

Uncle Guang glanced around at Ma Tao and the three of them as he spoke, and finally looked at Su Lanxi, who was leaning on his sister's arms and had just stopped crying and still had red eyes

"Girl, you've found a good man who knows how to think about you and doesn't want to see you hurt"

Then he looked at Ma Tao and asked him

"A girl is willing to be with you, no matter how rich or poor you are, no matter how dangerous or safe you are, this oath that should have been made at some important ceremony was vividly manifested by her, since you don't want to hurt, don't hurt yourself first"

"Thank you..."

Su Lanxi listened to Uncle Guang's words, obviously understood what Uncle Guang meant to help him, and his gratitude was very inexhaustible

"I also believe that the ending of the story is happy and happy, Ma Tao, do you believe it?"

"I believe"

The simple three words represent an attitude, and Ma Tao's answer gave everyone the answer,

"Don't wait until I'm my age to find out that there are too many things I regret before, let's go, let's go have breakfast together, I'll go and greet them"

After Uncle Guang finished speaking, he smiled kindly at them, turned around and left.

Is it that whenever someone is depressed or facing a dilemma, there are always people like mentors who appear to solve problems Ma Tao doesn't know, but he knows that Uncle Guang is a guide who enlightens him in a direction.

None of the three of them spoke, and after eating breakfast silently, they said goodbye to everyone here who had no quarrel with the world one by one.

In the end, Uncle Guang gave Ma Tao a hand-drawn simple map, telling him the direction of going out and some things he knew.

According to what he said, go south all the way, about a little day will pass by a Grand Canyon, out of the Grand Canyon, there is a big town there, this is also the nearest method, but Ma Tao They threw the chariot outside, and they couldn't help but take it, so Uncle Guang said a few more landmarks and convenient for Ma Tao to compare the characteristics of the seat, until Ma Tao understood, and brought them some food and water, and the three of them continued on the road.

Shuttling through the dense woods again, synthesizing the map given by Uncle Guang and the memories of the time of coming, as much as possible to avoid the attack and discovery of the golden ants, not for anything else, once entangled by these little guys, it is easy to get lost in the chase, such a large forest is full of trees, it is quite difficult to find the original route, and it should keep attacking you if you don't chase that play, which is particularly annoying.

Although the value of the golden ant is expensive, but it is precisely because of the high value that the greedy people will also be buried in this endless primeval forest to turn into tree nourishment, unless they meet the kind of people who don't know how to escape, the three of them will take out their weapons and sweat profusely to fight, but after all, such are a few, and they have not encountered one along the way.

For a monster like the golden ant that is not afraid of being exposed with its own light coordinates, as long as you have the heart, you can dodge it, and pass by the lonely grave before again, Ma Tao stroked the rifle in his hand, God will not let himself pounce in the air every time, maybe this is the only passive skill he carries as a traverser, Ma Tao couldn't help but smile when he thought about it.

When they came, the three of them walked from day to night, because they didn't know the road, they probably didn't know how many circles they had turned in the same place, but now they had a map in their hands and experience in their minds, and they found that the distance was not as long as they thought, and it was only five or six hours, and the green chariot with the black V mark had reappeared in front of the three of them.
