Chapter 23: Hope... Don't be abandoned
Cold, coming from all over the body, it slowly opened its eyes, looking at the dark room, through the window it could see the dazzling light, the grand feast, the pleasant atmosphere, but it felt cold and piercing, it silently jumped out of bed, and "bite" the door again, this time it was not in any joy, only inexplicable heartache, it finally realized what loneliness and seemed to be abandoned, very confused and painful, more but empty heart, hunger forced it to go forward again, it came there again, but not a step, Looking at the banquet closest to itself, looking at their happy smiles, happy atmosphere, it silently looked at it and felt more painful, for a long time, it turned around with difficulty, it walked towards the servant's seat, but its body was very stiff, it was very confused, and it was very... Helpless.
It came to the servant's abode and looked at the dozen banquets in front of it, it had never stepped here, under the pressure of hunger, its steps were stiff, ignoring the people around it, ignoring the contempt around it, and so on, and all their words were air, it came to the middle position, in all the seats only the middle seat was empty, and this position, but this position, seemed to laugh at it, obviously like dry eyes, but once again did not fight to flow out of crystal clear liquid, it climbed up to the seat with difficulty, and the people around only watched silently and coldly, It looked at the food in front of it, it was very rich, at least for it now, it was better than eating raw meat, it looked at the small plate of Panhu in front of it, this is the dish that only appears at the banquet over there, and the dishes around it are all dishes on the banquet over there, even if it is just a small plate, but it is enough to give itself some comfort and excuse, at least.. Parents also... I care about it....
It sticks out of its predecessor, and for the present it can only be scratched with its claws, but... A chopstick hit its "hand", it hurt, as if she did it on purpose, and it looked at the person opposite with some annoyance. "I'm sorry, the old man ordered, you have to eat with chopsticks" obviously she lied, but it was enough to make it believe that it had never experienced human accidents, it held back tears, and constantly encouraged itself to grab the chopsticks with its claws with difficulty, very reluctantly, and very uncomfortable, it had crossed chopsticks to pick up the nearest dish with difficulty, watching itself finally pick up the dish, constantly approaching its mouth, it silently opened its mouth, but it then felt that its body seemed to be pushed by someone, and the body went straight forward. Bang, pound, its body is loaded on the banquet, the vegetable juice splashes on its fur, the banquet is also turned over in an instant, and the people around it do not know when they have left the banquet, it crawls out from under the cover of the table with difficulty, the body hurts, it scans the surroundings, from the surrounding restless crowd one by one, familiar faces, did not appear, at this moment it feels so painful, it is difficult to take a step and walk in confusion, the surrounding tempting aroma seems to have no taste, the sarcastic words of the servants around it no longer have any meaning, It doesn't know how far it has gone, looking at the familiar bridge in front of it, it can't help but tears gushing out again, it seems to see the father and mother when it was young happily carrying it to the bridge to look at the dragon, carp, phoenix carp and all kinds of precious water beasts raised under the bridge, it ran forward vaguely, looking at the three people who appeared vaguely, but when it came to the bridge but saw nothing, the distant island in the lake seemed to appear familiar again, there was a hundred bird island.
It didn't have any strength to cross the lake, it could only climb up the bridge with difficulty, jumped off the bridge, kept waving its limbs, desperately hitting the water, and looked at the approaching island as if the strength in its body was constantly pouring out to support it forward.
It climbed up to the island with difficulty, shook itself with difficulty, the vegetable juice of its whole body had been washed away, and in this way the vegetable juice also attracted the creatures of the lake to keep struggling to feed where it swam, it stepped on the hard ground, looked at the surrounding woods tiredly, it was ridiculous that it looked at nothing, it understood. It was all its fantasy, it was all what it expected, but it burst like a bubble, and it came to the purple tree, leaned against the tree, and silently rolled up into a ball to look at the dark sky, and the light that it looked down, and it seemed to hear the laughter of the Jiake, the happy drink, the festive atmosphere.
It knew that the feast would last for three days, three days of celebration, and it still had some expectations, only that its parents would come to it when they found out that it was gone, even if it was just one person,... The cold invaded its body again, its body couldn't help but shiver slightly, its vision began to blur, it gradually closed its eyes, and it only hoped that when it woke up, a familiar face appeared in front of it.
At the celebratory banquet, he raised the white jade glass in his hand, "Thank you to all the same clan, all Taoist friends to celebrate my daughter, yesterday was my daughter's birthday, today I have a special banquet and wish you to bless my daughter" He immediately drank the wine in the cup, and the sound of blessings in his ears continued to come into his ears, making him very happy, and even the headache of his other daughter for a few days was forgotten, he sat down slowly, and then the servant who had been on the side immediately came to his side and whispered quickly beside him, and then his eyebrows wrinkled, She discovered her husband's abnormality, "What's wrong?" He just shook his head, "It's losing its temper, I don't know where to hide" "Eh, that blow is still too hard for it"....""It's not going to be okay, is it?" "No, it has lived here for more than ten years, and nothing will happen to you who is familiar with all this" "Hopefully... It can see it, eh...""Leave it alone, let it calm down, and when it thinks clearly, it will come out on its own" He, they dispersed their words wrapped in strength, as if nothing had happened, and the feast soon resumed its usual noise and festivities.
Cold, hunger, and tingling in the body... It slowly opened its eyes, it was not dreaming of them (them) this time, but only cold darkness, it was so afraid, its body shrank forcefully, the slight body temperature of the body made it feel a little safe, its somewhat hopeful eyes swept around but it was obviously disappointed, there was nothing around, empty, the place that was still bright and festive in the distance and the quiet and dark island around it were like two worlds, and the junction of the two places was like an invisible barrier, it stood up with difficulty, It looked at the conspicuous light with a glimmer of hope, and then silently turned around and walked into the Bird Forest, it only hoped that they could go to it after the feast, at least let it understand that it had not been abandoned, and that there were still people in this world who wanted it. The feast was finally over, and it watched silently from a tall tree, and it slowly crawled on the ground, had it been abandoned? Some strange but powerful bird couldn't bear to look at it, and slowly left it like a sigh. In place, spreading her beautiful and wide wings, she wants to judge them (her), it is what she has seen since she was a child, she is just to live a quiet life, and the same kind here are looking at it. They have long regarded it, a white fox, a beautiful girl as their relatives, apprentices... Even daughters, they can't tolerate anyone hurting it, "... You wait here obediently, wait for us to come back, we will go to them (her) to judge" at the moment when it did not react, one by one figures disappeared from its sight and went straight to the place that was just calm in the distance, the hand it just stretched out could not save anything, it silently withdrew its hand A certain thought appeared in its mind, it made up a certain determination, and the body turned heavily, but it was a little reluctant to look there again, the place where it grew up from childhood, the place full of memories, It turned its head with difficulty, tears flowed out of its eyes again, but there were only two drops, tears flowed weakly from the tip of its face on the top of the red tree tree, but strangely fell on it did not break but was still in the shape of water droplets, perseverance filled its eyes, it ran somewhere, it knew that there was a certain teleportation array there, this was her... They, in the place where it secretly told it when it was a child and often took it out to play, stepped over the vines that were wrapped around the red tree one step at a time, and the teleportation array was under the red tree and the pace continued to speed up, constantly disappearing into the field of vision, and it finally saw the faintly glowing teleportation array.
It slowly stepped on the teleportation array, its feet kept stepping on it, and mysterious runes flew up one by one, it not only learned to look at the formation, but it would also change some formations under their teaching, and the formation it was most familiar with was the teleportation array under its feet, which it had studied for several years, and studied every day, and now it is of great use.
The runes on the formation kept emerging, and the light became brighter and brighter, and at the moment when it was about to open the formation, a powerful coercion made it unable to move for an instant, "Stop!! "Familiar voices... Listening to the familiar voice, tears lingered in the eyes again, but this time it forced them back with difficulty, and its forelimbs fell with difficulty, resisting the familiar strong pressure on its body, and it sadly saw its relatives... Its father, actually used the stunt he had taught it to hit it, the great power made it desperate, it did not doubt that this powerful force would tear it apart, the last thing in its heart was shattered, looking at the palm that was slowly approaching it silently looked at its father, there was only coldness in its eyes. Boom?! Boom?! Boom!!!
The palm of his hand touched the formation, and the distorted light continued to bend, as if it was torn, and the formation instantly turned into nothing, and it looked at its dearest person in despair, "... You..."A dark moment appeared from the middle of the formation, a twisted crack, instantly swallowed it, and it instantly felt as if all parts of its body were being torn. It was momentarily unconscious, and it didn't hear its father's last words outside the crack..."No!!! "A more powerful force than before swept over the formation, leaving a deep imprint and a godless man in his eyes silently watching the pit where the smoke cleared...
Light... And the temperature it almost forgot, it just wants to leave, it just wants to grasp this warmth, the body is tightly drilled into the warmth, it just wants to lean there tightly to experience. Cherish this seems to be its last warmth.
Li Chen looked at the white fox desperately drilling into his arms speechlessly, and couldn't help but smile bitterly, Li Chen pulled its tail to pull it out, but Li Chen immediately felt a pain in his chest, blood.. Flowing out of his chest, looking at the trembling white fox in front of him, he couldn't help but sigh silently, and patted the white fox silently, as if he felt that no one pulled it away, it silently let go of its mouth, Li Chen held the white fox and looked at it in a ball, and couldn't help but feel a little bitter in his heart, Li Chen seemed to understand that it seemed to have been abandoned, just like... He's the same.
Trample... Trample... Trample..
Heavy footsteps echoed in the stairwell, Li Chen continued to move forward with his heavy body, and he felt that his heart was heavier... It was almost dark, and Li Chen could barely see the steps of the stairs in the faint light, Li Chen stopped, and a few anxiously waiting people appeared in his sight, Li Chen looked at them, but the corners of his mouth naturally curled slightly, Li Chen felt that his heart seemed to be lighter, and there was a little bit of temperature that was difficult to feel again. "You, back?" There was no reproachful greeting, Li Chen looked at Mengdie and nodded slightly, then Mengdie turned around, Youyu bit her lip and plucked up all the courage in her heart, "Everyone is waiting for you, let's go" Li Chen couldn't help but wonder? Waiting for me? Do? Li Chen looked at Youyu who turned around and couldn't help but look at their backs suspiciously, but he couldn't see Youyu's red face, Wang Xinyu showed a mysterious smile slightly, and also turned around, Li Chen walked past Mo Ying who was stunned, Mo Ying looked at the black stairs in front of her and couldn't help blushing, and immediately followed behind Li Chen, she just reacted, only to find that what she wanted to say seemed to have been robbed.
Li Chen felt the strange environment around him, he was surprised to find that there was still electricity here, and he couldn't help but be a little excited, after all, in the dark, after a long time of dimming, Li Chen also expected to see some light, but when the people around him looked at him with "weird" eyes, Li Chen couldn't help but wonder if his body smelled? Or is there something on your own face? Just when Li Chen wanted to smell whether he was smelling to determine if there was something wrong with the refresh of the system, Li Chen was stupid when he heard the words in his ear. "So cute!!" A few pairs "went straight into" Li Chen's arms, just for the white fluffy white fox, Li Chen couldn't help but be stunned, and the few hands in his arms instantly pulled the cute animal out of Li Chen's arms and put it in his arms to pamper him. It instantly felt something pulling itself away from its last warm place, and it struggled desperately only to find that it seemed to be unable to move at all, and finally it made a movement when it was about to be pulled away.
Woo... Belch? Uh, a stinging pain came from his chest, and Li Chen immediately looked down stupidly at a few beautiful jade hands pulling the white fox in his arms, as well as its familiar movements. ....... "Let it go!!" "In the dark night, Li Chen lay on the bed and looked at the ceiling, silently rubbing the wound on his chest with his hands, the deep tooth marks, and the coagulated liquid around him, proving that the bite was very strong, Li Chen silently walked into the bathroom, the strange thing is that there is still a hot water supply here, although Li Chen does not need to take a bath and his body will not have any smell, but Li Chen still wants to take a bath, this is a problem in his heart, a few minutes ago, he forcibly pulled out the fox on his chest at the cost of sacrificing a piece of skin, in fact, he was forced out by them, Li Chen felt so tired, he just wanted to rest, A day's tossing made Li Chen feel refreshed, his body was very tired, he just wanted to take a good shower and go to sleep comfortably and quietly, as for why there is hot water supply, our principal Da Wang Xinyu said that the school has an independent backup power supply, and they have been turned on, and the school's water supply system is divided into two sets, one is systematic, and the other is for backup well water supply. Lying quietly in the bathtub, this bathtub may have been made by those rich students themselves, and the body was quietly soaking in the warm water, but thinking about their next path.
Now that the biggest boss here has been eliminated, it shouldn't be too powerful, after all, the shade-eating tree should be the strongest in this area, where are you going next? You have to get to level 10 R as soon as possible and then go to the NPC camp.,After all, the news released by the game company clearly states that players can only enter the safe zone after reaching level 10.,And so far there hasn't been any system announcement.,Or.. No announcement at all? Forget it, I'd better practice to level 10 first, and from a certain situation, the safe zone may not be safe now, after all, how can a city be cleaned up in such a timely manner? And now there are still shelling sounds in the distance from time to time, indicating that the army has not cleaned up the city yet, and in addition to the monsters that may appear from the cracks, they can only reach level ten first to have the ability to protect themselves, but, they... What am I going to do?
Li Chen felt that his head hurt when he thought of this problem, after all, he and they didn't think he was a certain person, and Mengdie's combat power must be stronger than him, and it was more likely that Li Chen was her burden, Li Chen slowly exhaled a breath of turbidity, Mengdie woke himself up like a blow on the head, he was slightly happy for his strength before, even arrogant, but the cold water woke him up without making any fatal mistakes, Li Chen couldn't help but rejoice and silently warn himself that there were many people who were stronger than him in complacency, Li Chen looked at the ceiling and couldn't help but feel very relaxed, Li Chen was lying lazily in the bathtub, he hadn't been so relaxed for a long, long time, he had been spending it in fear, and the sudden calm made Li Chen feel so heavy on his eyelids. The door gently pushed open, and a paw appeared on top of it, proving that it had pushed the door open.
Li Chen felt that he was about to fall asleep at the moment when there seemed to be a splash of water splashing on his face Li Chen woke up instantly, he only remembered at this moment that he was not in a safe place for Shenma, but in the dormitory area where the monster was wandering, the white creature who saw his eyes clearly Li Chen couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, if it was a monster, he would have died several times, Li Chen looked at the white fox "floating" on the bathtub and couldn't help but smile, and his hand gently stroked its fur... Li Chen grabbed it instantly and wanted to throw it out of the bathroom, Li Chen didn't have a habit of bathing with animals, but seeing the white fox's pleading eyes Li Chen couldn't help but soften, and sighed helplessly, "You are not allowed to bite it, otherwise I will throw you out" It left the impression of biting him in Li Chen's heart, and his hand gently stroked the white fox's silky white fur, but Li Chen didn't see the humanized shyness in the white fox's eyes, but Li Chen couldn't see it, because the white fox leaned directly on Li Chen's chest, it... I'm so tired, I just want to go back to the place that gave it some warmth, and then rest quietly, even if Li Chen is a man, it's better than that group of terrible people to decorate it, not to mention, and look at it with strange eyes, it has never seen such a "terrible" look, but it is very familiar, because it has also seen some of its favorite things with this kind of eyes. So it's better to stay comfortable in his arms, at least... He wouldn't look at himself like that, it felt like his face was about to be cooked, otherwise how could it be so hot? It should be that the water temperature is too high...
Li Chen stood up from the water, equipped the permanent novice fashion equipped by the system from the panel, Li Chen got dressed and dried his hair with a towel on the side, as for what strange things to do? When Li Chen came in, he also saw some underwear, Li Chen didn't bother to pay attention to him, was it necessary? If he wants, he can have his own strength to do certain things, as long as he is weaker than him, he can do whatever he wants, but Li Chen doesn't, he clearly understands that anyone has a lock in his heart, and when the lock is broken, he doesn't limit himself, then he is not far from destruction, because is he still the one who is controlled by **? Just a slave to desire and hope, I. Li Chen will only follow his own heart, he will not violate his last principle, this is his final bottom line, if he exceeds this bottom line, then he will step into death, Li Chen gently dried its fur with a towel, Li Chen wiped it casually, it opened its eyes dissatisfied, watched Li Chen mess up his hair and struggled out of Li Chen's arms dissatisfied, easily jumped to the bed not far away with a towel in his mouth, and dried his fur with a towel, Then looked at Li Chen and wanted to see its hopeful expression from his eyes, but it was disappointed, Li Chen was already numb to the humanization of the white fox, after all, once he was numb before, Li Chen seemed to never be surprised by any of the white fox's actions, because Li Chen had already treated it as a human being, so there was still a surprise to the gods?
Li Chen turned off the light, darkness shrouded the room again, Li Chen reluctantly saw the position of the white fox, grabbed it with his hand, put it above his bed, and then lay on his bed, silently closed his eyes, ? Li Chen couldn't help frowning, his eyes opened instantly, and he pulled out a white creature from his arms. "What are you doing down? Go up and sleep."
Li Chen impatiently pulled the white fox out of his arms, but as soon as Li Chen let go of the white fox and got into his arms again, Li Chen could only patiently pull out and continue to explain, and finally Li Chen helplessly found that he was useless no matter what he said, and finally he could only let it go, it lay on Li Chen's chest with satisfaction, stretched out its head and looked at Li Chen's chin, slightly showed a weird smile, and slowly fell asleep, Li Chen felt that the fox on his chest did not move, he did not plan to secretly put it back, there was no need for this, Li Chen closed his eyes again, Li Chen didn't feel anything except that his chest was a little heavy, but Li Chen seemed to hear the sound of running water through the wall next door from time to time, Li Chen tried to keep himself from listening, but it seemed to be clearer and clearer, and finally Li Chen silently thought about someone, and finally fell asleep with a smile.
.... The door was slowly pushed open, she looked at the sleeping Li Chen and couldn't help but smile, but the smile was faintly sad, but looking at Li Chen's slight smile, she couldn't help but feel a little better, and even the dullness in her heart was swept away, the door was gently closed, and the darkness replaced those bright again, and she walked towards Li Chen with a mysterious smile. I said... I'm in the same room with you tonight.. I'm not going to break my word.
