One rainy night six years ago.
In an ancient country in the center of another world, in a huge building as vast as a palace of gold, a woman's cry and scream of pain could be faintly heard from a certain house.
"How's it going?" Outside the heart-rending delivery room, stood a tall and heroic man, his majestic face revealing a hint of anxiety.
Before the reply came from inside, I heard a "bang", and an abrupt muffled sound sounded.
"The formation is almost unbearable! The energy fluctuates too much!"
Suddenly, there were several hurried shouts from the old woman in the delivery room, and I saw a dazzling and fierce golden light suddenly erupt in the originally dimly lit delivery room!
In an instant, the energy fluctuation that suddenly gushed out from the small delivery room like a flood almost turned the entire palatial mansion into ruins.
The strange runes that were sticking to the delivery room and constantly bursting with strong golden light were slowly cracking at this time. With every small crack in the pale yellow rune, the energy flow pouring out of the delivery room exploded even more.
I saw a few old women standing in the middle of the bright light, each of them holding a strangely shaped thing in their hands, and several people stood in a strange formation around a woman who was struggling to give birth.
The perimeter of the mother's somewhat enlarged pregnant belly was plastered with the strange runes that were shattering outside the delivery room.
I saw that at this time, these strange runes were being corroded by a strong golden light!
The runes disappeared one after another, and the moment each rune disappeared, a strong energy flow would erupt, and the energy streams devoured and confronted each other, gradually forming a strong energy storm around the mother, and the seals on the hands of the old women around the mother were constantly changing, trying to cast spells together to stabilize this powerful energy fluctuation.
"Click. โ
There was a crisp sound, and I saw that the incomparably hard stone slab ground under the feet of one of the old women in the formation was forced to break a trace of splinters.
The increasing energy pressure on several old women made the shriveled faces that were originally described as withered even more hideous.
"Poofโ"
A mouthful of blood suddenly spurted out from the chapped lips of the white-haired old woman at the center of the formation!
The bright red and viscous blood sprayed on the extraordinarily large pregnant belly that was constantly bursting out with energy fluctuations, making it even more bloody and weird.
"I can't stand it...... Lord......"
As the old women in the formation were forced to cough up a few mouthfuls of blood one after another by this increasingly powerful energy fluctuation, several old women looked at each other a few times, and finally gritted their teeth and spread the sound outside the house.
Sure enough, did it fail again......
There was a flash of loss in the man's eyes.
"Make a quick decision!"
Several old women are making their last struggles. With difficulty, he squeezed out this heavy transmission from the corner of his mouth that was slowly spilling blood.
The man's cold apricot eyes flashed with many complicated emotions in a short moment.
Before he could make a decision, he heard a sudden thunder in the dark night sky where raindrops were constantly falling.
"Boomโ"
There were several huge flashes in the sky one after another, and in the courtyard, where the energy fluctuations were very unstable, the stability that was barely maintained was completely disrupted by these sudden flashes.
I saw that when the flash fell into the courtyard, the strange runes on the pregnant woman's belly, which seemed to be huge and about to explode, exploded with a burst of energy at the moment when the thunder fell!
The moment those runes disappeared, the energy seemed to turn into a hurricane visible to the naked eye, destroying everything in this courtyard.
Suddenly, all the surrounding houses collapsed one after another, and all the luxurious and hard buildings in the courtyard turned into powder under the impact of this near-destructive energy fluctuation.
"Ahh
The heart-rending screams came from the shriveled mouths of the old women, from the mouths of the pregnant women, from the mouths of all the living people and creatures around the courtyard.
As a beam of strong light flashed violently, the moment he heard the cry of a baby suddenly erupting in the ruins, the eyes of the embarrassed man who had been subjected to this energy storm not far away suddenly appeared with golden light!
The man walked up to the crying baby with an excited expression, carefully closed his eyes slightly, and put his big hand on the baby's small undulating chest to check the inside of the baby's body.
The moment the man saw the thing he wanted to see, tears welled up in his eyes.
All the old women on the ground died, except for the old woman at the end of the formation, who was able to prepare to protect herself at the moment of the energy explosion.
The old woman raised her eyes and glanced at the pregnant woman who was looking at her, her eyes were already empty and empty, her dark eyes seemed to be filled with pain and despair, and there was even a trace of inexplicable expectation to look at the old woman.
The old woman slowly got up.
Looking at the contrasting dead baby beside the lively baby, the originally pale little face had already turned purple-red, and there was a dead silence in the sticky lifeless chest.
There was a special light in the old woman's cloudy eyes.
"Sir...... This dead baby ......"
The man was basking in great joy when the old woman's hoarse voice pulled him back to reality. I saw that he freed one hand and also felt the dead baby's body, and a flash of clarity flashed in his eyes.
It seems that only one succeeded......
Then the man looked at the pale woman on the delivery bed, whose delicate eyebrows and eyes were like a sharp knife, as if gently cutting the man's chest.
There was a flash of guilt in the man's deep eyes.
"Let's bury it with her. โ
"Yes. โ
......
Six years from Earth.
"Alas, I was born at the wrong time, I was born at the wrong time!"
Before getting off work, Liuyun took one last look at the drawings he had just drawn in his hand, and the various lines on the white paper danced chicly or tactfully, and finally gathered into a very standard engineering and technical drawing in the center of the paper. "Damn, Lao Tzu has such an awesome technique, and he can't pass the exam of the eighth-level craftsman. โ
With that, he lit a cigarette and changed into a coat hanging on the shabby wall of the workshop.
"Alas......"
Riding a small electric stove, Liuyun shuttled through the still lively cars at night, looking at the prosperity of one piece after another, and couldn't help but sigh.
Twenty-nine years.
Liuyun is an orphan. A person lives in this second-tier city. caught up with the good time, and with the light of the welfare home, Liuyun had the right to study.
I was also lucky to be admitted to a good second university. After studying mechanics for four years, he refused his tutor's suggestion to let him go to graduate school and began to look for jobs everywhere. Because I really don't have the money to read anymore.
Then I came to this factory, and in a blink of an eye, I worked for six years. In the past six years, he has his own temporary place to stay, and he has paid off the debts he owes on his studies for so many years.
But...... What's the point?
The city says big, big. So big that he searched for almost thirty years, but he couldn't find anyone who could talk from the bottom of his heart. said small, but too small, so small that he has not been able to find a place to accommodate him, his true home.
The story needs to unfold little by little, I hope you will support it a lot!
