Chapter 271: Guardian Beast
Tianguang City, Qingyuan Town, Yinyi Village. Shangxin didn't sleep all night. I got up in the middle of the night, afraid of waking my mother, gently pushed the door open, walked out, and came to the village square with excitement and hope.
"Finally over thirteen, you can have your own guardian beast, see who dares to bully me and look down on me in the future. Shang Xin thought in his heart,
"I will definitely choose one of the most potential guardian beasts, and I will definitely become the strongest one to protect the kingdom in the future. I also want to help my mother's bubble bear evolve into a combined realm again, and let my mother open the largest medical hall in Qingyuan Town, no, in Tianguang City. "There is an old custom in the village that every child in the village who reaches the age of thirteen can come to this square to collect his guardian eggs.
And on this day, all the villagers must come here to witness the birth of a guardian beast.
This is a ritual that has been handed down from the hidden village for hundreds of years, and it is a much more important ritual than the New Year's Festival. When the sky was bright, villagers came to the square one after another, and everyone who passed by Shang Xin's side looked at him with a strange look, which was a little disdainful.
Shang Xin has long been accustomed to this vision, and he doesn't care too much about it. He firmly believes that as long as it is past today, as long as he receives a powerful guardian beast, his business letter will no longer be the business letter of the past.
As for how to choose the eggs of the guardian beast, Shang is full of confidence, and he has memorized all the guardian maps left by his father, and the category of the guardian beast can be seen from the eggs.
In this village, except for Shang Xin, I believe that there is no second person with such ability. There are more and more people in the square, and the voices of words are also one after another.
"I heard that there are two children who are thirteen years old today, one is Young Master Wang Hu of the Wang family, and the other is who?" This is a middle-aged man's voice.
"The other one, it seems to be Shang Xin, right? I was the first to come today, and when I came, I saw that kid here. The other answered.
"He, can he get the Guardian Beast Egg too?"
"Hey, people are also from the hidden village, okay?"
"That's right, they're also from the hidden village. After a while, someone said, "I heard that there are only two guardian beast eggs this year, and one of them is a golden tiger, and I don't know who of the two people can choose." ”
"Needless to say, of course it's Young Master Wang Hu. Shang Xin was shocked, there were only two of them, but then he relaxed again, the guardian beast eggs were not judged according to their appearance, and it was impossible for Wang Hu to tell the difference.
More and more people gradually crowded this small square. It seemed that the villagers had arrived, and on the other side of the square, Shang Xin also saw Wang Hu, who was surrounded by a group of people and sat on a chair, his face full of anger, as if the golden tiger had been held in his arms.
Some waited eagerly, until noon, when the village chief came, carrying a small wooden box on his back, and ascended to the small high platform in the center of the square.
Glancing around the crowd, he said, "Today is a big day in the Hidden Village, and I believe each of you knows the reason for coming here." After a pause, the village chief glanced in the direction where Wang Hu was, and said;
"There are also children in the village who are over 13 years old, and they are still two children. This is something that has not happened in a secluded village for hundreds of years. Today, we will witness the birth of two guardian beasts. Someone in the audience shouted impatiently: "Village chief, let's start quickly." The village chief nodded and said, "Okay, now invite the two children to the stage." ”
"Wang Hu! Shang Xin!" Finally waiting for this moment, Shang Xin ran to the stage a little impatiently, and watched the village chief slowly untie the small wooden box on his back, open the lid, and two round and crystal guardian beast eggs appeared.
One pale green, one golden. Shang Xin only glanced at it, and saw that the pale blue color was the golden tiger egg.
At this time, Wang Hu also slowly paced onto the high platform. Seeing that Wang Hu had arrived, the village chief said to the two people: "There are only two of them this year, in order to prevent the two of you from choosing the same guardian beast egg, you can't choose them together, you have to go first." Shang Xin was stunned for a moment, and then reacted for a while, and asked, "Who comes first?" The village chief pondered for a while, and said: "Let's sort it by size, Wang Hu was born two hours earlier than Shang Xin, which is the greatest." Let's choose Wang Hu first. Shang Xin looked at the village chief with some anger, Wang Hu is two hours older than himself?
I remember once my mother said that Wang Hu was two days younger than herself. Today is not the day when Wang Hu chooses eggs.
But Shangxin understands that even if he says this, it is useless. He did not argue any more. Even if Wang Hu chooses first, he may not be able to choose Golden Tiger.
Wang Hu glanced at Shang Xin proudly, and said, "Pull aside, don't delay the young master, I choose the Golden Tiger." Shang Xin took a step back and looked at Wang Hu indifferently.
The Wang Hu came to the wooden box, looked at it for a while, and said, "The egg of the golden tiger must be golden, I want this one." Sure enough, hearing this, Shang Xin breathed a sigh of relief, and a trace of worry in his heart was immediately put down.
Seeing Wang Hu's choice, the village chief frowned and whispered, "Wang Hu, are you sure you want to choose this egg?"
"Sure. Wang Hu said proudly.
"Don't think about it anymore?"
"Nope. Wang Hu wanted to say that he didn't need to think about it, but suddenly remembered that when he came up, his father told him several times to listen to the village chief.
When he wanted to speak, he suddenly paused, looked at the village chief, and said, "What does the village chief mean?" The village chief was also a little angry in his heart at this time, and the Wang family's child was too ...... But thinking about the wealth of the Wang family, Wang Hu's father personally brought a heavy gift to his house last night.
Looking at Shangxin again, everyone in this village thinks that children with IQ impairments are all in the village. So he said directly: "I think the other one is also better, of course, this is just a reference, and you have to decide for yourself to really make the choice." ”
"Oh, then I'm going to do this. With that, Wang Hu put down the egg in his hand and picked up the pale cyan golden tiger egg.
Seeing this scene, Shang Xin couldn't hold back any longer, and shouted angrily: "This is not fair, you cheat." ”
"Shang Xin, you can't say that, I didn't tell Wang Hu which one to choose. Hearing Shang Xin's sudden opening, the village chief said with some annoyance.
"Didn't you?" Shang Xin snorted coldly.
"Cheating? Yes, it's cheating, what can you do with business?" Wang Hu said directly.
"You ......" The following words were not spoken, yes, what can I do? The Wang family is rich and powerful, and of course the village chief has to look to others.
In this world, except for my mother and my red mother, who will look towards me? I don't have the capital to compete with others at all, and the golden tiger is destined to be my own.
In desperation, Shang Xin had to pick up another egg. Looking at it carefully, Shang Xin found that there was no such egg in the guardian map left by his father.
What kind of guardian beast will it be when it hatches? Will it be stronger than the Golden Tiger? There is actually some hope in Shang Faith.
The unknown always brings hope. Looking at Shang Xin's hopeful gaze, the village chief couldn't help but sneer.
The egg was picked up on the way to hunt the year before. According to common sense, capable guardian beasts will not easily abandon their eggs, and only those weak guardian beasts will discard their eggs as a last resort.
The Hidden Village holds an annual hunting operation. Whoever has a true guardian beast in the village will follow the village chief into the mountain.
Sometimes one or two Guardian Beast eggs are hunted back, but more often than not, they return empty-handed. After returning, the harvest is kept by the village chief and passed on to the children of the village from generation to generation.
Hidden villages are not large, so on average one Guardian Beast Egg is given out every five years. However, since the hunt was always fruitless, there was always a shortage in this small wooden box.
If it weren't for the fact that he didn't look at this egg at all, the village chief would not even be willing to give it to Shang Xin, and leaving it to the next child who is thirteen years old is much better than giving Shang Xin this piece of wood.
What's the use of a child who can't even speak to protect the beast?' thought the village chief. Ignoring Shang Xin anymore, he turned his head to Wang Hu, and the village chief said, "Wang Hu, hatch your guardian beast now." ”
"Oh. Wang Hu responded. Immediately, the guardian contract was read.
"Witness the Supreme Patron Saint. I, Wang Hu, am willing to sign a guardian contract with the guardian beast in front of me. I will do my best to provide for the guardian beast in front of me. Provide him with three meals and help him level up. It must also use its life to protect my safety. After reading this, Wang Hu took out a silver needle, pierced his middle finger, and a drop of blood fell on the guardian egg.
The blood quickly soaked into the egg, and the shell glowed golden. The light was extremely thick, and it pierced Shang Xin behind him from opening his eyes.
It lasted for a minute before fading away. Little by little, the eggshell cracked until it was completely shattered, and out of it crawled out a tiger with a golden body.
The tiger grew in the wind, and in the blink of an eye, it grew to the size of a hound. The hair on the whole body is like gold, glistening in the sunlight.
He raised his head and let out a long roar, which caused the small platform to vibrate.
"Look, the Golden Tiger! The little master of the Wang family really chose the Golden Tiger. Someone in the crowd shouted.
"Yes, the most ferocious guardian beast in the guardian map, a guardian beast with absolute power from birth! "Another man's voice.
"The little master of the Wang family is really amazing, I don't know what Shang Xin's kid's guardian beast can do. Listening to the praise of the crowd in the audience, Wang Hu showed a smug look on his face, looked at Shang Xin and said: "Shang Xin, you also hatch your guardian beast, let us also see what you can hatch." Shang Xin ignored Wang Hu, although he was full of helplessness and resentment at the moment, but he was full of expectations for the guardian egg in his hand that was imposed on him by the village chief, and he imagined that this egg, which had not appeared in the guardian map, could hatch a guardian beast that was more powerful than the golden tiger.
This was his last thought. After thinking about it, he remembered his guardian contract.
"Witness the Supreme Patron Saint. I, Shang Xin, am willing to sign a guardian contract with the guardian beast in front of me. I will do my best to provide for the guardian beast in front of me. Provide him with three meals and help him level up. I will also use my life to protect his safety. ”
"......" The crowd in the audience suddenly became noisy.
"That kid actually mispronounced the guardian contract?" said one of them.
"It's amazing, it's amazing, a fool who can't say a word for a year actually mispronounced the guardian contract when he opened his mouth. Another said.
"I used to think that this kid just couldn't speak, he was mute, but I didn't expect to be a fool like you say. ”
"A child who has no father since he was a child will of course be different from normal people. Someone else said.
"Who can blame this, I have long wanted to be his father, who made his fake mother just disagree. Otherwise, how could the current thing happen?" The person who said this was Zhang An.
Other people's sarcasm Shang Xin didn't seem to take it to heart, and it was only when he heard Zhang An's words that Shang Xin turned his head and glanced at it coldly.
Yuan Qing, Shangxin's mother, who had already come to the stage, didn't pay any attention to the voices that insulted their mother and son, she just stared at Shangxin on the stage tightly, and tears had already fallen from the corners of her eyes.
This guardian contract turned out to be exactly the same as his father's reading back then. She had never taught Shang Xin to tamper with the contract, but why would this kid read it?
What will be his fate in the future? Shang Xin bit his middle finger, and a drop of blood fell on the guardian egg, but it did not shine as brilliantly as when Wang Hu signed the contract.
It's just a slight hint of blood red. There was a slight 'pop' sound, the eggshell cracked little by little, and a small beast crawled out slowly and with difficulty.
He has gray and black hair without a hint of luster, pointed ears, and a small mouth. The two small round eyes rolled back and forth, looking at this strange world in a new way.
"Uh......" Shangxin's mood full of anticipation finally cooled down in an instant at this moment. This is clearly a mouse, and it must be regarded as a relatively ugly mouse in the mouse family.
Of course, Shang Xin can not care if he is ugly or not, but what is the use of a mouse? What he needs is a powerful guardian beast, not a mouse.
"Mouse?" the crowd at the bottom exploded again.
"I'll just say that this kid can't choose any good beast, and judging by his unlucky appearance, he can only be worthy of a mouse. ”
"Yes, this kid is a natural nemesis. was born to kill his father, and sensible to his fiancée. If he really wants to smoke a good beast, he has to let him kill him, and this mouse is really a good match for him, haha. ”
"How many said, I have to be his father when I catch up with Ming'er, Lao Tzu is not afraid. "It's Zhang An again.
Seeing Shangxin's mouse, Wang Hu laughed wildly on the stage,
"Shang Xin, is this your guardian beast?" The village chief also took out a guardian atlas, and compared it for a long time before saying in a mocking tone: "No, there is no guardian beast like a mouse in the atlas, it seems that Shang Xin is really amazing, and he actually opened a new chart." The audience laughed again, and the laughter was full of sarcasm.
However, these voices have all disappeared from Shangxin. Years of expectations were shattered in an instant.
At this time, Shang Xin suddenly remembered Mingyue, the fiancée who was with him, and the somewhat naughty little Mingyue.
I remember that when I was seven years old, because I and Mingyue were hungry, I went to the Wang family to steal a few sweet potatoes, and after being discovered, I was severely beaten by the Wang family.
After being seriously injured, Mingyue actually used her small body to lie on top of her. The sound of the wooden stick breaking Mingyue's bones can still be clearly remembered by Shang Xin now.
That time, my mother used Bubble Bear to lower the price of three levels, but she couldn't save Mingyue. Since then, Shang Xin has never had a smile on his face, and he never speaks easily.
Shang Xin thought of Mingyue's mother, Hongma, who used to cry day and night, and the tears that still often flowed until now.
Every tear is shed in business faith. Thinking of Zhang An's humiliation of his mother's words again and again, the contempt of the villagers for this poor mother and son, Shang Xin's heart was dripping with pain.
Who would have thought that this little boy had what kind of hatred he had in his heart! He hated the Wang family! He hated Zhang An! He hated everyone who had made fun of their mother and son!
Who would have thought that this little boy has been enduring for many years! All along, all the time, he has been waiting for today, to choose a powerful guardian beast!
It's a pity that all of this has come to naught in the blink of an eye. Wu sighed and looked at his small and ugly guardian beast, and then looked at Wang Hu's majestic golden tiger, Shang Xin's heart had fallen to the bottom.
But no one noticed that the depths of the mouse's eyes faintly emitted a smart light that was difficult for outsiders to detect.
