1 Ninth Age

Blue Star, the Seventh National Orphanage in Tianyuan City.

Blooming flowers, looking back at my hometown, the feeling in my heart is like a tide.

Zhang Yi exhaled a breath of turbidity, his breath was restrained, he closed the golden eye of fate, and his figure appeared, dressed in a simple sportswear, carrying a fruit basket and a bag of candy in his hand, and walked towards the Seventh National Orphanage not far away.

The orphanage in the 80s was a very simple, old-fashioned wooden house with three floors, two buildings inside and outside, surrounded by a wall made of yellow mud.

The orphanage has two staff members, an old superintendent and a recent graduate intern college student.

Zhang Yi no longer remembers the names of the old dean and intern college students, and in his long memory, he only remembers one calling grandpa and the other calling aunt.

Zhang Yi frowned, a drop of nosebleed slipped and immediately volatilized, the surrounding flowers and trees grew wildly, and the air became extremely fresh.

The intern who was sweeping the floor, looking at the crazy growth of grass, looked shocked, rubbed his eyes, looked again, and suddenly found that nothing had changed, muttering: "Is it because I slept too late last night and hallucinated." ”

The intern stretched his waist, looked up and saw Zhang Yi not far away, his eyes suddenly lit up, his face flushed with shame, and he exclaimed in his heart: "So handsome." ”

"(⊙o⊙)..."Zhang Yi smiled and walked over slowly, "Ah...... Aunt, well, big sister. ”

The intern lowered his head, not daring to look at Zhang Yi's deep and smart eyes, which seemed to have a charming charm, "Sir, who are you looking for?" ”

Zhang Yi waved the gift in his hand and said with a smile: "My name is Zhang Yi, come and see the children here." ”

The intern said shyly: "My name is Ye Qingcheng, you can call me Qingcheng." ”

Qingcheng's heart fluttered and jumped, and he said to himself: "Why am I suddenly so close to a strange man." ”

Qingcheng said: "Come with me, the old dean is taking care of the vegetable garden in the backyard. ”

……

Backyard vegetable garden.

The old dean planted the cucumber bamboo pole, breathed a sigh of relief, looked at the remaining vegetable patch, and muttered: "You can also plant some pumpkins, pumpkins are easy to feed, have high yields, and taste good." ”

Qingcheng said loudly: "Grandpa Zhang, a guest is here." ”

The old dean raised his head, looked at Ye Qingcheng in the voice, and asked Zhang Yi, "This gentleman, is he here to adopt a child?" ”

The old dean muttered in his heart: "The funds of the orphanage are getting tighter and tighter, the government has not allocated funds, and the economy ......is in a recession."

Zhang Yi smiled: "Hello Grandpa Zhang, I am a recent college graduate, today is the weekend, I have nothing to do, and I came to the orphanage to volunteer." ”

The old dean smiled, "Mr. Zhang has a heart, let's stay and have lunch together." ”

Zhang Yi said with a smile: "Then it's bothering." ”

……

Simple dishes, a plate of green beans, a plate of eggplant, more than a dozen children ate happily, but their eyes always glanced at the candy on Zhang Yi's table.

Zhang Yi smiled, handed the candy and fruit to Ye Qingcheng, and said with a smile: "Help me distribute them to the children." ”

"Thank you." Ye Qingcheng smiled, took the gift, and said to the children: "Thank you brother yet." ”

"Thank you, brother." The children said loudly.

……

The old dean glanced at the gorgeously packaged candy and asked, "Mr. Zhang, what are you doing here?" ”

Zhang Yi didn't use his psychic power to probe the kind old man in front of him, and said bluntly: "I just want to come and see some people and figure out some things." ”

The old dean frowned, the young man in front of him was full of mysterious aura, it can be seen from the bag of candy that the young man in front of him is either rich or expensive, and between his gestures, the aura of the person who has been in the top position for a long time is unnaturally daunting.

The old dean smiled and asked, "Have you figured it out?" ”

"It's coming." Zhang Yi looked out of the courtyard.

Suddenly, Ye Qingcheng shouted outside: "Grandpa Zhang, a baby was found outside the orphanage. ”

The old dean hurriedly put down the dishes and chopsticks and walked outside.

……

Zhang Yi squinted, his figure flashed, and he appeared thousands of meters away from the orphanage, staring at a sad couple, with a touch of gold in his eyes, reading the memories of the two.

……

Outside the maternity ward of the obstetrics and gynecology department.

An obstetrician and gynecologist said to a man: "Mr. Xu, Mrs. Xu was born prematurely, and the child has congenital brain dysplasia. ”

The obstetrician and gynecologist stopped talking.

The man frowned, "How much does it cost?" ”

The female doctor said: "At least 10,000, even if you barely maintain the child's vital characteristics, the chance of surviving is only 5%. ”

……

Inside the delivery room.

The woman woke up and looked left and right: "Zixuan, our child." ”

Xu Zixuan smiled slightly, "Hailing, don't worry, the doctor said that the child needs special care for a period of time." ”

Chen Hailing said worriedly: "Zixuan, the child was born prematurely, is it really okay?" ”

A melancholy flashed in Xu Zixuan's eyes, and he comforted: "Don't worry, everything will be fine." ”

……

Two months later.

The female doctor pointed to the baby culture room and said, "Mr. Xu, the child survived, but his brain is underdeveloped, and his IQ may be reduced in the future." ”

Chen Hailing's body shook, Xu Zixuan immediately held it up, and said sadly: "Thank you, doctor." ”

……

Outside the National No. 7 Orphanage in Tengen City.

Chen Hailing stared at the child in Xu Zixuan's arms, and choked up: "I'm sorry, child." ”

Xu Zixuan put down the child and pulled Chen Hailing away quickly.

……

Zhang Yi turned off the Golden Eye of Fate, took one last deep look at the two of them, and sighed, "I know you did your best, father and mother. ”

Zhang Yi flashed back to the orphanage.

……

Ye Qingcheng walked in with the baby in her arms, humming a lullaby.

The old dean sighed and said nothing.

Zhang Yi asked, "This kid?" ”

The old dean shook his head and sighed: "Mr. Zhang is destined for this child, you might as well choose a name for him." ”

Zhang Yi smiled, "Since you have fate, you might as well call Zhang Yi like me." ”

"Is that okay? Grandpa Zhang. ”

The old dean muttered: "This child wants to have some kind of defect, so he will be abandoned by his parents, and in the future, he needs great perseverance to face it, Zhang Yi, a good name." ”

Ye Qingcheng hugged Xiao Zhang Yi and said with a smile: "This child is so well-behaved, he doesn't cry or make trouble, do you think he still smiles at me?" ”

Zhang Yi smiled and said goodbye: "I still have something to do, so I'll go first." ”

Ye Qingcheng was reluctant and asked, "Big Zhang Yi, when will you come to see Little Zhang Yi?" ”

Zhang Yi paused and looked up at the sky, "Wait for him to grow up." ”

Ye Qingcheng was stunned, his nose was sour, and he suddenly felt a sense of loss.

Zhang Yi strode out.

The old dean stared at Zhang Yi's back as he drifted away, and said, "Qingcheng, you are people from two worlds, and you can't ask for such a thing as fate. ”

Ye Qingcheng smiled: "Grandpa Zhang, you're joking with me again, do I look like the kind of person who falls in love at first sight?" ”

The old dean shook his head and looked at Xiao Zhang Yi's smile, "This kid is quite cute." ”

……

Twenty-six years later, Tianyuan City Guzhi Street, night market.

The moon hangs in the sky, and the lights of the city illuminate the night sky, covering the light of the stars.

"Young man, come and see if there are any small objects you like, these are all first-hand goods that I just received today." A stall owner in his forties beckoned to Zhang Yi not far away.

Zhang Yi smiled and groaned in his heart: "There are still first-hand goods in the antique street? ”

On a piece of white paper, about two meters long and one meter wide, various gadgets are displayed.

There are copper coins of the Qing Dynasty, antiques of the Ming Dynasty, blue and white porcelain of the Song Dynasty, and ancient bronzes......

Zhang Yi quietly picked up a black inkstone, but the rest of his eyes stared at the quaint bronze bell on the side, and a strong possessive desire in his heart was born for some reason.

……

The stall owner took the 90 yuan handed by Zhang Yi, handed the packed inkstone and bronze bell to Zhang Yi, and said with a smile: "Thank you for your patronage!" ”

"Wait." The stall owner called Zhang Yi.

Zhang Yi frowned and said puzzledly: "What's wrong?" ”

The stall owner smiled: "Young man, it's good that people are happy to be alive." ”

Zhang Yi smiled, "Thank you, boss." ”

……

The stall owner stared at Zhang Yi, who was getting farther and farther away, and his figure became erratic, as if there had never been such a stall in the busy antique street.

Blue Star Space.

Zhang Yi's future body, surrounded by countless chains of time and space, stared at the blue planet, "Because of the unknown, there is an infinite future." ”

Zhang Yi sat down cross-legged, his right index finger gently hooked up a thinnest space-time chain, and looked at the dark blue star.

"Second Energy Level, World Crystal Wall, Space-Time Black Domain!"

A dark field envelops the entire solar system, and light cannot escape.

"Second Energy Level, World Fusion, Time and Space Traction!"

In the distant endless time and space, a world blends with the crystal walls of the solar system along the chain of time and space in Zhang Yi's index finger......

"Lord God Space, Ninth Age, Infinite Future!"
