Chapter 1: Egger Morrissus (Ask for Recommendations!) )
"Ahem..."
A cough sounded, and in the quiet hospital room, a dark-haired boy leaned against the head of the bed, which was covered with a thick stack of books.
The boy looked haggard, gently closed the book in his hand and put it on the bedside, and looked out the window with some yearning in his eyes.
The sun was shining outside the window, the spring breeze was blowing through the treetops, and two sparrows flashed in front of the window and fell on the treetops.
The boy's lips curled into a smile, and his bright eyes did not match his haggard countenance.
Outside the door of the hospital room, a couple sobbed and communicated something with a white coat.
"Very likely, this is his last spring, of course, I just said maybe..."The voice in the white coat came from under the mask: "In fact, it is a very incredible miracle that Xiang Linggongzi's body can live to be twenty years old, he is a very strong boy, I think God will definitely bless him." ”
"What should we do now?" The weeping woman in front of her wiped her tears and sniffed from time to time: "I don't know how to tell him the news, doctor, is there really no other way?" ”
"The speed of the lesion is too fast..."The doctor shook his head slowly: "I can only say that I was not born at the right time, if there was the current medical technology more than ten years ago, then there was still some hope, but now there is really none, Ling Gongzi is really the strongest person I have ever seen, leukemia was detected at the age of two, he survived to the age of twenty, I think people like Ling Gongzi, even death will not make his smile lose color, I suggest the two, or take him to do something he wants to do as much as possible, Communicate more. ”
In the corridor, the woman's crying continued, and the man next to the woman also had red eyes, he nodded to the white coat in front of him, and walked into the room with his wife.
In the room, the thin figure of the boy stood by the window, looking yearning at the sky outside.
"You can't come down, just rest in bed!" The man couldn't help but panic when he looked at his son.
The boy shook his head slightly, his face flushed with excitement, and seemed to be a little excited.
Outside the house, the spring breeze is ten miles, and the peach blossoms are in full bloom, which is the gorgeous season of purple and red.
The boy opened his arms slightly, his eyes blazing at the world outside the window.
"I've never felt like I've ever been as healthy and strong as I am now, and I feel like a dad...", a smile leaked from the boy's face, "I'm running out of time..."
The woman behind her suddenly cried louder when she heard this, and the man looked at the son in front of him with a bitter face: "I'm sorry, son..."
The boy shook his head, and the blood on his face became even thicker: "I thank you very much for letting me walk in this world, although I haven't been out much, but it's still very good to think about, right?" ”
"I've read a book in which the wise man says that death is but the beginning of a greater adventure...", the boy smiled: "If it's a wonderful adventure, then I'm happy to accept it, life is too short, why not give it a try?" ”
As he spoke, the boy was amused by his words: "I am willing to die in this spring breeze, flowers and birds, life is not necessarily happy, death may not be painful, I am very happy to see such a beautiful world, and I am also lucky to meet parents like you." ”
The window of the ward opened slightly, a wisp of spring breeze blew, and the boy's eyes quickly dimmed, and he staggered into his mother's arms, he still muttered.
"Forgive me for saying I love you the last time."
In the warm spring sun, the crying in the hospital room is miserable, a couple loses the most precious treasure in their lives, and a free soul begins a new adventure...
……
London, United Kingdom.
London in the late '80s was brightly coloured, but people were in a hurry, ignoring the bright buildings and colours around them, perhaps because of the gloomy hues of the sky, and people didn't seem to be in a happy mood.
Somewhere in the bustling street, a handsome blonde boy sat in front of a shoeshine stall humming a song, leisurely watching the crowd of people.
Unlike the noisy London accent around him, the words spoken by the boy are more ancient, and the obscure language rises and falls rhythmically in the boy's mouth.
"Shoe shine, shoe shine, do you say it's bright or not~"
The words in the boy's mouth are called Chinese, from the far east on the other side of the world, but in this place full of famous dishes such as looking up at the starry sky, the brilliant oriental civilization does not seem to be very prevalent, so that no one around can understand the boy's words, but the cheerful and inexplicable tone still attracts the attention of many people.
There was a crunch of bells, and the corners of the boy's mouth curled, it was the sound of pennies falling into the money box.
A beautiful blonde sat gracefully on a small stool in front of the boy, and the girl's bright red lips gently spat out a puff of smoke on the boy's handsome face, and the boy squinted his eyes.
"Good morning, Miss Smith." The boy looked at the woman and laughed.
"I'd rather you call me by my name, Aisha... Small eggs. Aisha chuckled and reached out to pinch the boy's face.
The boy smiled, his face was distorted by Aisha's hand, and his mouth was slurred: "I also prefer you to call me Egger instead of Little Egg..."
Aisha snorted and let go of her hand, looking at Egger with some dissatisfaction: "Of course, if you are willing to move out of the welfare home and live in my house, I will agree to your request." ”
"Forget it, I'm not going to sell my body, you know, I'm not like that..."Egg touched his face a little shyly.
"Egger Morissus!" Aisha took a deep breath and looked at Egger with some anger: "Shine my shoes!" ”
"You're wearing high heels," Iger said.
"Then wipe it too!" Aisha waved her hand unhappily.
"Okay." Egg tilted his head, picked up the towel on his shoulder and gently brushed the woman's shoes: "Thank you for your patronage~"
Aisha rolled her eyes and pulled a note from her satchel and stuffed it into Egger's arms.
"Five pounds... It's a lot, it's all the money I make in a day. Iger waved his hand: "A problem that can be solved with a few pennies..."
"That's the obvious price, isn't it?" Aisha's nonchalant stall hand.
The two looked at each other and immediately laughed.
Aisha seems to know how to deal with the imps in front of her, and Egger always has some strange brains in some strange places.
Egger was also very strange, the woman in front of him had been pestering him since a long time ago, and God knows why.
Eight years ago, when Egger opened his eyes in this world, he saw the dean's stinky face, Egger was very panicked, he thought for a moment that the old lady with a wrinkled face had given birth to him, and then reacted, only to find that things were even worse than that...
He was thrown away by his parents as soon as he was born...
Looking at Miss Aisha Smith in front of her, Iger shook her head slightly.
Miss Aisha is only 18 years old this year, and she really doesn't look like she can have a baby at 10 years old...
The beauty in front of me has always been very good to herself, and she also ran to the welfare home every once in a while, hoping to adopt herself.
But unfortunately, the old dean once thought that Miss Aisha had evil intentions, afraid that she would sell Egger, and in fact, unmarried single people were not allowed to adopt children, so Aisha never succeeded.
"If you want to take it, you will take it, this is your deposit for my little lover in the future." Aisha smiled, got up and left.
Egger was a little embarrassed, he had been lying in a hospital bed for twenty years in his previous life, and he was still a junior brother until he died, and there had never been such a thing as falling in love.
If Aisha can really wait for him to grow up, he doesn't mind having a sibling relationship...
Egg's face was a little ruddy, and he had a lot of thoughts, and speaking of which, Aisha was really good-looking...
In the distance, a large group of children hula ran through the street, and one of the boys at the head looked at Egger and waved his hand with some joy.
"Egger, how is business today?" The boy had freckles on his face, brown hair, and his face was not very good-looking, but he looked very well-behaved.
"It's alright—" Egg tilted his head.
"It's a shame that if you had parents like us, maybe you would be able to go to school." The boy looked at Iger with a sincere face.
Egger gritted his teeth in pain: "If you really can't comfort people, I suggest that you don't force comfort, otherwise you will be easily beaten." ”
The boy stepped back a little and muttered, "You can't do this..."
As a wild child in the orphanage, Egg's physical strength is obviously better than that of these pampered children in front of him, and Egger is very glad that he has a good body in this life.
Even putting his physical strength aside, Iger always felt that there seemed to be another kind of power hidden in his body.
By chance, some strange things happened around Egger, which made him think he was a little schizophrenic for a while.
A drop of rain passed through the thick clouds and fell on Egg's head, Egger shook his head helplessly, stretched out the umbrella he was carrying with him, and put away the stall.
"Hell weather... The showers in London are terrible! Egger mumbled into a small box, folded two small stools, and turned to walk down the alley.
The alley twists and turns, and Iger turns left and right in it, and after a while, a somewhat dilapidated orphanage comes into view.
This is the orphanage where Iger was raised, and it has a fierce old lady who is in charge, a loving nun, and a few little children that no one wants.
Iger had heard a few days ago that it was going to close down and that the few remaining orphans would soon be assigned to other orphanages in London, and that the small courtyard near the city centre would soon be zoned for other projects.
"Sister Linda, I'm back, did my dear miss me?" Iger pushed the door open and walked into the room, some of the old rooms were very quiet.
"Actually, if you can get out of the orphanage and go to the house of the woman who covets your beauty, I will be very happy and will help you with the formalities right away." A fierce voice came from behind him, and Egg turned his head with a grin, and an old face appeared in front of him.
"Grandma Hull's menopause is delayed again?" Iger casually put the shoe-shine tool next to the door: "What about Sister Linda?" ”
"Hmph, the stinky boy doesn't look good, no wonder people don't want to adopt you!" Old Lady Hull snorted, and bent over to signal Iger to help her.
"Linda took a few children to buy school supplies, you know, although you are very smart and have completed the elementary school curriculum by yourself, but it obviously does not mean that other children will be like you..." ”
"I've got five pounds here," Iger shrugged and pulled out a note.
"Put away your little belongings, you better think about yourself first, the new yard is obviously not willing to accept you who are eight years old and no one has adopted you!" Old Lady Hull looked at Egg angrily: "You said that it would be better for you to follow that little girl, and what is it to stay here with us old and weak!" ”
Egger smiled: "Isn't it like I can earn what I eat, I can be regarded as a small asset now!" ”
Old Lady Hull sighed, she knew what Iger was thinking, the boy in front of her wanted to repay her for raising her, and in the past few years, she had been shining shoes and delivering newspapers, and she was helping people clean cars to earn money, and all the money earned was spent on the orphanage.
"Egger, you're a good boy—" Old Lady Hull turned her head, her eyes moistened.
"Don't scold me for poisoning eggs?" Egger was expressionless.
"Humph!" Old Lady Hull snorted and raised her chin a little childishly: "I will adopt you until you are eleven years old at most, and once you reach the age when you should go to middle school, I will not hesitate to kick you out of the welfare home!" Swear in the name of my Hull Moritiss! Get ready, stinky boy! ”
Egger saluted with a serious face: "Lord Egger Morissus accepts your challenge!" Let the horses come! ”
The two looked at each other for a long time, and suddenly burst into laughter.
After a while, Egger's stomach growled, and he squinted his eyes to look at the old lady Hull on the side, and Egger flattened his mouth: "Why hasn't Linda come back yet?" ”
Looking at the gloomy sky outside the window, Iger stood up with some worry: "I'll go out and take a look, the rainy day in London is not too beautiful, in any sense..."
"Go and come back!" Old Lady Hull glanced at Iger behind the newspaper and said.
Egg nodded, walked briskly out of the room, and headed out into the alley.
The roaring showers poured down the alley, and there were faint bursts of curses in the distance, and Egger felt uneasy in his heart, and couldn't help but speed up his pace.
"Don't talk nonsense with me, hurry up and hand over the money to me!" In the midst of the cursing, a man held a dagger in his hand and looked at several figures in front of him with fierce eyes.
The nun in front of the man, Zhang Huang, was at a loss to protect several children, and under the fierce threat of the man, several children trembled.
"No, you can't do this, we don't have any money, and all the money I have on me is to buy books for the children..."
The fear didn't last long, and a thin figure rushed to the mouth of the alley, a black shadow flashed in his hand, and Egger jumped high, slamming a brick on the back of the man's head.
The man staggered to the ground.
Iger hurriedly threw the dagger in the man's hand far away, and looked at the few people in front of him and breathed a sigh of relief: "Let's go, it's not very safe here." ”
Linda nodded with relief and hurriedly left with a few children, Egg looked at the man who fell to the ground and shook his head, a little helpless.
The security in London is not very good, especially in this kind of winding alleys surrounded by high-rise buildings, there are often a lot of homeless people or drunks wandering around, God knows where they come from, obviously in this era of London, as long as you are willing to work, you can earn a lot of money...
As soon as he turned to leave, Egg's expression suddenly froze, and he turned his head to see that the man on the ground reached out and grabbed his ankle at some point.
"Boy, you're too nosy!" The man's face was fierce, and he covered Egger's mouth with one hand, and then pinched Egger's neck with the other hand.
Egg's face suddenly turned red, and he kept stretching his thin legs and kicking the man's chest.
The big yellow teeth in the man's mouth were exposed, and he laughed, and a flash of happiness flashed on his face.
Egger only felt that his head was getting more and more dizzy, and the surroundings of his eyes began to turn black, and Egger knew that this was a severe lack of oxygen.
A sense of crisis continued to impact Egg's heart, Egg's side was flooded with a trace of black gas at some point, the man looked at the black gas on Egg's body with some panic, and wanted to let go of his hand but was entangled by the black gas, the man suddenly panicked and screamed.
In the man's sight, Egger's figure was swallowed by black gas, and then the black gas was overwhelmingly attacking him...
