Chapter 156: Intertwined Dreams
It is a small town surrounded by several farms, and the people who live here live by farming and animal husbandry.
Everyone was happy, at least, Io thought so, except for the time when he needed to go to school every day, although he pleaded with his mother and promised to help her mother with household chores for an extra two hours a day, but her mother still smiled and refused; Facing his mother's smile like a spring breeze, Io can only obey even if he is unwilling.
Because, he didn't want to let his mother have more grief.
Although, every time his mother hid and cried secretly, how could this be hidden from him? As a smart child, Io knew very well what his mother would cry alone for, so he carried his own pitchfork and taught those who dared to call him 'wild seed', whether it was a child of his age or the other party's parents, those guys were not his opponents at all, and they were easily knocked to the ground by him.
In fact, when he was five years old, when he dumped the family's cattle on the ground, he knew that he was different, and his mother said that it was his 'blood', from his father, although he wanted to ask his father who he was, but in the face of his mother's grief, he could only choose to remain silent.
But it wasn't until that time, when he had single-handedly brought down those foolish fellows, that his mother suddenly spoke to him about his father—'Your father is a dragon, a dragon, a dragon soaring in the sky with endless flames, and that golden light shines like the sun!' ’
Moreover, he has not yet been punished for the casual use of 'force' - most of the time he is expected by his mother to be a 'normal' child, and that 'force' will make him an outlier and ostracized by others, although he dismisses it. However, since it is his mother's request, then he will comply.
However, many times, things don't change because of your wishes; Sometimes, he had to use his 'strength' to protect his dignity, prevent his mother from grieving, and make a living for the family, even though his mother would sell some flowers and herbs. to subsidize the family, but that is only a rare time, more often those flowers will be given to those who are friendly, and herbs? Those guys who don't have vision. I would rather trust a quack doctor who relies on various machines to determine what the disease is.
Therefore, he and his mother did not live well. Especially when he needs to go to school. His mother had to go to town to find a job as a sewing to save for his tuition; Looking at his mother, who had been sleepless all night under the lamp, he was equally unable to sleep and was distressed; So, he had to use his 'force'.
In fact, he had a goal in mind, and. His goal was easily achieved in the face of his 'strength', and all the wandering and troublemakers in the town all went to the quack overnight, and he reaped more than he could have imagined, albeit in order to conceal it. He had to give a third of it to the smiling tavernkeeper to explain to his mother what he had earned from his long-term work, and why the tavernkeeper wanted the job to continue.
It's just that there is no impermeable wall in the world, when his mother knew about the group of patients who suddenly appeared in the quack doctor, he was beaten by his mother for the first time, and then, before he could react, his mother cried again - he didn't care about the kind of 'beating' that didn't hurt or itch on his body, but he didn't want his mother to cry, that kind of panic and overwhelmed, which made him feel that this was his mother's punishment for himself.
Therefore, he was sincerely happy that he had not been punished for using 'Force' this time, and he had a slight interest in the so-called father, and of course, the disgust in his heart was no less—he could not forgive the other party for not saying goodbye to his mother; However, in view of the fact that he was not punished this time, he decided to meet his father, teach the other party a hard lesson, and then forgive the other party, and then they lived happily together.
At the end of the story, it all says like this; Moreover, those who tell stories in the wine pipe, will raise their glasses for such an ending.
The deliciousness of the wine made him decide that every story needed such a happy ending.
And, for that reason, take a drink every day!
Ever since the word of the hard lesson he had given those stupid fellows, and the sad thing he had done to his mother, the prohibition of drinking under minors had disappeared from him; Every day after school, he had a drink before going home—for which his old-fashioned teacher protested to the mayor that the tavern was too close to the school; These were the few people in the town who weren't afraid of him, and he found it troublesome for these two people, but these two people were the ones who took his mother in the first place, and he couldn't do anything like punching the other people and breaking their heads.
So, very simply, after that, he had to spend fifteen more minutes a day going to the new tavern.
When he returned home after another beautiful day, he was amazed at the joy of his mother, who could no longer conceal it—he remembered that his mother had not been so happy for ten years.
'Your father is coming back recently!' ’
He felt surprised and relieved by such news, and then, he was entangled - he looked at his happy mother, and couldn't calmly say his wish to teach his father a hard lesson in his heart.
Whatever?
Everything goes with the flow.
He faced it with such a mentality, if his mother was happy, then the wishes of the year could naturally be ignored.
Father, what is it like?
With such thoughts, he fell asleep; Then, waking up in the midst of fire and blood.
The whole town was set on fire, and the smell of blood could not subside even in the flames, and he took up the long sword that lay under the bed—'Your father, he loves long swords; Moreover, his sword can tear the sky! Because of this, he inexplicably chose the long sword.
As for the guns?
That kind of thing was not very big for him compared to the burning stick, at most it was a little louder.
His sword tore at his opponents, and there were many, many people on the other side, more than the entire town combined; But he didn't care, his heart had long been filled with anger that he had never felt before. Corpses, countless corpses, each one of them was familiar to him, his old-fashioned teacher, his unkind but submissive classmates, and the loud mayor who was terribly afraid of his wife, and the stupid guys who were afraid of him......
At this moment, they all fell in a pool of blood!
was harvested by the cold executioners in black one by one!
And he is the next target of these executioners!
Blood flies and flames rage!
He used his sword to tell these people what the price is!
But his heart was afflicted. It was as if something had choked him, and he wanted to roar, to swing his sword—for he saw his mother, pale-faced, confronted by a man dressed in white among the great vines; Although the other party should be an elder. But it was far from being as good as the mayor's feeling for him, but rather a deep disgust.
It's like he's eating cake. After a knife goes down. Suddenly, I found out that there was a bug-like disgust inside!
And, more importantly, he dared to hurt his mother!
At that moment, he swore that the other party was dead!
The blood drifted away again, and countless, countless blood simply gathered into a stream. These are the blood of the other party's subordinates, and the other party is like an emotionless person, so indifferent to command his subordinates, and then. Look at him, slaughtering his own men......
Sure enough, with his blood! ’
This was the first time that the other party had spoken after he had killed the hundredth and the last blocker, cold and containing killing intent.
He could clearly feel that his killing intent was boiling like this now, and after seeing his mother's crumbling figure, he could feel that his killing intent was completely exploding in the boiling, as if he was pouring countless gasoline on a blazing fire.
Roar!
With a roar that made countless beasts surrender, he swung his sword upward—he swore that he would kill them, the kind that would break them into pieces.
……
For Ye Qi, he felt that he was very lucky, that exam paper unexpectedly got a high score - for the multiple-choice questions, such a thing happened, he felt that he could buy a lottery ticket, and then, bet his luck; In fact, that's what he did; Then, after the lottery numbers were announced that night, he naturally crumpled the ticket into a ball and threw it in the trash.
Not a single number was hit, in fact, it was a kind of luck.
Ye Qi comforted himself like this - Ye Qi has been an extremely optimistic person since he was a child, which is a bit incredible for a person who aspires to become a doctor or lawyer; Friends all said that the reason why Ye Qi chose these two professions was definitely random from a pile of notes full of various professions; Because, they often see Ye Qi do this when faced with hesitation.
And, they all guessed right.
That's what Ye Qi did at the beginning; However, unlike the casual speculation they made, Ye Qi really listed the profession he wanted to do, and then began to draw lots; Even if there are a little more occupations listed at the beginning, who can blame for this? He is such an ordinary person, and there are naturally many professions suitable for ordinary people.
For those who are special, there is already a way to find a new way, waiting for them.
In this regard, Ye Qi expressed envy, but he would never be jealous - his natural optimism made him not jealous of others, but would just follow the path he chose, and then, keep going.
Such a view supported Ye Qi, and then, among the two goals, he found a balance.
Until, that night—
At that time, Ye Qi left the law firm where he worked in the summer, and it was his elders who helped him find it, and for Ye Qi, who had the dream of becoming a lawyer, it was naturally better, even if he was fifteen days later, he was still the handyman who poured tea and water, the earliest to come and the last to leave.
However, Ye Qi was happy in it, because he found a lot of things that he couldn't learn from books - some were positive, some were negative, and he accepted them happily, whether they were positive or negative.
Perhaps, the doctor is more suitable for me!
This is the truest thought in Ye Qi's heart on the way home, and when this idea just rose, before Ye Qi could think about it carefully, a stone slab falling from the sky interrupted his thinking - it was a broken stone slab. If you extrapolate from the corners, he only has a third or less of the original stone slab in front of him.
Subconsciously picked up the slate that he originally regarded as a 'slab brick', the unexpectedly light weight made Ye Qi subconsciously frown - if it weren't for the touch in his hand telling him that it was indeed a stone, Ye Qi would definitely think that it was just a stone slab supported by plastic.
In fact, when Ye Qi was wondering if this was the work of a craftsman with exquisite craftsmanship, the appearance of two rays of light made him subconsciously turn around-
A car was speeding towards him, as if it were an arrow aimed at a target.
Bang!
There were no surprises. He was knocked off, and flew to a height he had not expected; After that, everything fell into darkness......
When he woke up again, the pain made him moan unbearably. And after a full ten seconds, it was accompanied by pain. Ye Qi had a surprise - he was still alive!
Need to buy another lottery ticket!
This was the first thought that rose in Ye Qi's heart. And when his eyes opened, the scene in front of him made him completely forget this thought-
The raging fire plunged the surrounding area into a sea of fire, and the blood flowed like a stream along the uneven ground; And most importantly, in front of him. There's a vampire!
The fangs, the bat's wings, the expression, and the kind of oppression that the other party gave him, Ye Qi was sure that he was a vampire. Real, not a vampire that only appears in stories; Then, the moment the vampire turned and turned his attention to him, Ye Qi fainted very naturally.
Before passing out, a hazy figure appeared in his sight.
……
"What's your name?"
The middle-aged man in front of him, with Losahu, brown hair and gray eyes, asked again; And Ye Qi, who was asked for the third time, played his 'role' very well-behaved, he shook his head blankly, indicating that he didn't know what to say - in this regard, he was very grateful for the summer part-time job, at least, this experience made him understand how to create a more favorable environment for himself.
"Are you sure you're going to adopt this kid?"
The one who spoke was a guy who looked much older than the middle-aged man, and Ye Qi didn't like this old guy very much; In addition to the fact that when the other party met for the first time, he looked at him with the eyes of the goods, and more importantly, he repeatedly dissuaded the middle-aged man who wanted to adopt him from giving up his original idea.
And this is Ye Qi at this moment, and he definitely doesn't want to see it!
If he could, Ye Qi, who was not lazy, also wanted to be self-reliant, but his current body made it impossible for him to do this - he looked in the mirror, a thirteen or fourteen-year-old face, vaguely his original appearance, black hair, black eyes, nothing changed; But the body is extremely bad, soft, and you will pant and sweat when you take two steps.
Ye Qi didn't know if Lu Dao's body was his, but he knew that if he was 'thrown' out of Lu Dao at this moment to be self-reliant, two days later, he would have to starve to death on the streets or die of illness on the streets; no matter the cause of death, the streets would undoubtedly be his destination - for death, no matter how optimistic people are, they will be afraid, Ye Qi is no exception, and even, in some ways, he is even more afraid.
Because, in a short period of time, he experienced two deaths in a row!
The threat of death made people grow and mature, and even Ye Qi couldn't believe that he could do it to such an extent - not crying, laughing, or making trouble, with a dazed appearance, which lasted for nearly a week; This is a miracle for Ye Qi, who was used to smiling.
Again, under this miracle, he was adopted by the middle-aged man.
The man, John, became his teacher and adoptive father; The latter title was spoken by the old fellow he hated, and neither Yedch nor John admitted it; And in the next two years of basic training, the relationship between him and the old guy is as bad as ever, especially when he learned that the other party would 'force debts' from his teacher from time to time, he has wanted to use the gun in his hand to shoot the other party in the head more than once.
But, alas, this is not possible - the other party is not only a friend of his teacher, but also the branch president of the local witcher chapter; For a rookie who isn't even a trainee witcher and expects to become a witcher, it's not appropriate to offend a branch leader.
The Demon Hunter, this is what his teacher personally promised after asking - the moment before he fell unconscious, and what he saw and heard beside the teacher, made Ye Qi know that the Dao was not peaceful in this world, although most of the time, it seemed so 'safe and reliable', but Ye Qi, who had experienced death, was not willing to take any more risks, he wanted to be able to protect his strength.
Undoubtedly, the Witcher is the best choice!
As for the goals of doctors and lawyers?
It's already gone with the wind, and it's caught by lot anyway, so what's there to be nostalgic for?
'Teacher, I want to be a witcher! ’
What's more, when he said this, his teacher, who was often an alcoholic, was stunned for a rare moment—it was joy, Ye Qi could see and feel it.
Even if it is to repay you for saving your life and adopting you, it should make you feel more happy!
Facing the teacher's happiness, Ye Qi thought so.
