11 [Brothers]
My brother's back was not hunched, but as if it was attached to an invisible wall, as straight as a sword.
The brothers lost their parents when they were young, lost everything, and were relegated to the streets, where hunger drove them to beg, steal, and cheat......
On some particularly hard days, in order to survive, the brothers even knelt beside the dead body like wild beasts, gnawing on the corpse, if not, then they might be the ones who starved to death the next morning.
One day, they were stuck in an alley.
The other party is the rat leader of this block, backed by a small mercenary group, a dark cloud pressing on the heads of the two brothers, they survive in the cracks, hide for a long time, and this time they finally can't hide.
In fact, there were not many people who came, including the leader, a total of 5 people, standing side by side just enough to be shoulder to shoulder, blocking the alley tightly.
The rats are also not nutritious, not much better than them, but ...... The two brothers are too young.
With "I've seen these two little cubs many times, and I don't make offerings, specially, let's help these brothers have a long memory today!" as the beginning, and ends with "Okay! Leave them alive, fight again next time!" as the end, the younger brother was so painful that he couldn't move, and the elder brother was beaten to death.
Even if he died, he would have to protect his much more fragile brother under him.
They actually made offerings at first, except for food, and they handed over all the stolen coins to the man who had been saying that they [did not make offerings] from beginning to end, and in this case, the brothers simply did not turn them in, but simply changed them to food, and stuffed them all into their shriveled stomachs.
After being beaten, my brother was lucky enough to get his life back, but the wound on his back could not be healed anymore, and as he grew older, the bulge became more and more obvious, and he became a hunchback, because he always kept his head down, and his face became more and more sinister and vicious.
Under his protection, the younger brother is still handsome, just like his brother's name [Xue Yu], splashing water on his face, showing his heroic spirit.
In the process of washing her face at one point, a noble lady made the decision to adopt Xue Yu, as for her brother...... His back was too ugly, and his face was a little scary.
Xue Yu refused to leave, and the elder brother showed a flattering smile at the noblewoman, dragged the ignorant brother aside, and told him that if you don't go, both of us brothers will starve to death, and we will all be bullied, and if you go, you can still throw me some food when I am about to starve to death.
Then Xue Yu went, but this simple reason could only offset the small doubts caused by youth and ignorance, and the doubts gradually swelled as Xue Yu grew older, but the reason could no longer change into other tricks, so the younger brother's heart gradually brewed guilt, and the guilt became deeper and deeper, brewed for twenty years, turned into bitter wine, and when he got closer, he was so bitter that he couldn't open his eyes, and he was so bitter that he burst into tears.
The elder brother is bitter, and every time he sees the more and more hunched back, this bitterness seeps into Xue Yu's heart.
The elder brother is becoming more and more fierce, he has set up his own mercenary group, but it is still very difficult, and he is busy dealing with the rats that have bullied them every day, as well as the small mercenary group behind the rats.
Xue Yu has also learned a lot of skills, and is proficient in long work, crossbow arrows, swordsmanship, and equestrianism. The younger brother found his brother and said that I should help you, but the answer was, "You have such a ability, you should go to the grizzly bear, if I can't do this, you can still save me, don't let the two brothers be served together!"
Eventually, Snow Feather was once again persuaded by almost the same reason to go to the Grizzly Bear.
A few years later, my brother wiped out the rats, wiped out the small mercenary group behind the rats, and with the strength to be ruthless to himself and others, he annexed several small and medium-sized mercenary groups, and became one of the few bigwigs in the dark night of Luolong City, which was inseparable from Xue Yu's secret help.
And Xue Yu accidentally became an awakener, and his strength was already one of the best in the mercenary group, and he became more and more valued by the grizzly bear, and gradually, he became the person most valued by the other party.
The two are like father and son, after each fight, Grizzly Bear will put his arm around his shoulders and talk about the past, present and future, Grizzly Bear's friendship Xue Yu can feel that it is real, and the other party really sees him as a successor.
Intelligent, he gradually discovered that in the process of this heart-to-heart conversation, the other party was also absorbing his strength.
When the relationship reaches a certain point, Grizzly explains Snow Feather's doubts and tells him his secret, the Beastmaster Ring.
Because of the other party's trust, Xue Yu is very happy, but he secretly drinks bitter wine every day, and he will always subconsciously guess whether the Beastmaster Ring can allow his brother to get rid of the oppression of the hunchback and appear in another powerful form at any time when needed?
Maybe if you become a giant beast, your brother will be able to straighten his back, and even if he still has defects, he will be weakened and invisible.
This thought was brewed into bitter wine by him, as if it had accompanied him for more than twenty years.
But the grizzly bear wasn't old yet, and he couldn't wait.
My brother was also moved, and after a short period of fermentation, this wish became a kind of paranoia that overrides most things.
They have always only been in secret contact, no one knows that they are brothers, the brothers have been each other's secret blades over the years, which makes it easy for them to achieve their goals, there are many kinds of plans that have been planned, just wait for an opportunity, the Beastmaster Ring is even just a small addition to this big plan.
On this day, the opportunity came, Bai Niu made a clumsy deception, and his brother was also happy to push the boat, plan the plan, turn the trouble away, and ignite the line of fire.
With the help of Xue Yu, the elder brother blended into the resting place of the grizzly bear alone, which is really not an easy thing, and as a person under Xue Yu, he can only bring one person, but even if he can bring more, they will not bring it, because this kind of thing can only be done by brothers.
The other two regiments of the Iron Triangle did not notify the grizzly bear, and inexplicably went to the cat's paw, and the informant finally saw the opportunity to sneak back, and the grizzly bear was shocked, and immediately recruited the deputy head of his subordinates, the captain and deputy captain, and the head of the attached mercenary group.
"What's wrong? If you have something to say, this kid, how did you talk today?"
"I don't think we should rush there. โ
"Why?"
"Because there's no need, let them fight, and after the fight, we'll clean up the mess and have a big unification for the night, we don't have anything to rush about-"
"How can you not be in a hurry?!"
"โafter all, the person they want to rob is in my hands. Xue Yu finished her words in one breath without being disturbed.
