Chapter 308: The Head of the Four Towers (II)
Zheng Xi is an orphan.
His father was one of the few heirs of the Zheng family after its decline, but he died in battle with the brutes as soon as his seed was planted.
After hearing the news of Zheng Xi's father's death, Zheng Xi's mother was extremely desperate, but because of the child in her womb, she survived tenaciously.
It's just that only the will to survive is still invincible to the ill-fated after all.
Zheng Xi's birth made his mother very angry, and after three months of strength, she finally died of illness in bed.
As a result, Zheng Xi, who was still a baby, became helpless, and none of the neighbors who came to collect the body wanted to take him in.
He was thrown out in the street.
Probably under the blessing of the god of the abandoned boat, he was discovered by another group of beggars in the street, and most of the children's hearts, with a hope of purity, picked him up.
The beggar's food was not much, but fortunately, the baby's food was not large, and Zheng Xi was also well-behaved, so he was also fed by this group of beggars with the leftover soup they found.
Malnutrition is a norm among beggars, so Zheng Xi, who has grown up, has been very thin, but he has a smart spirit and slowly begins to play an increasingly important role among beggars.
There is a book in the Imperial Law, and those who are not in the army at the age of thirteen will be expelled as inferior.
When Zheng Xi was thirteen years old, he did not escape the arrest of the town guards, and all his family members were driven out of the town, but he - probably because of the cleverness of the slave traders - became a slave.
After following the slave traders through various towns and cities for several years, he was bought by the Guan family in Heilin Town, and then became a member of the Heilin Zuo Sige Army at that time.
As far as he is concerned, life in the army is similar to the life of a beggar, so he is not bad, and he quickly showed his talent, and was favored by Qiao Ximing and became a captain.
Rao is like this, he has always been a little incomprehensible to the order to let him come to participate in the civil and military exercises, after all, he was only a soldier-level capable person at that time, and he really didn't know what he could do in the civil and military towers where many powerful people gathered.
It took him four and a half months to climb to the sixty-fifth floor and open the sixty-sixth floor of the challenge illusion.
However, when the illusion unfolded, he was surprised to find that two people had appeared in his illusion.
Huang Liu, and Yuna.
"Huang, Brother Huang, Miss Yuna, ...... you?"
He quickly closed his mouth, because Huang Liu in front of him was lying flat on Yuna's lap, his eyes were closed but his face was pale, his lips were blue and purple, and he was obviously unconscious.
He was shocked in his heart: "Is this the illusion of the sixty-sixth layer......?"
"It's not a fantasy. ”
Zheng Xi was stunned for a moment, and looked up at Yuna who said this, the other party's eyes looked down at Huang Liu motionlessly, and a trace of gentle expression could be vaguely seen on her face.
"Isn't this a fantasy? Miss Yuna, you ......."
"When we were on the seventy-ninth floor, we were attacked, and Brother Fang scattered with us, and Brother Huang was seriously injured in order to protect me, so I had to flee here with Brother Huang. Only here, will not be discovered by that person. ”
Yuna's voice was steady, as if it wasn't herself who was speaking, but another soul who had stayed out of the way.
Zheng Xi digested the news that Yuna said, and then suddenly realized something: "Miss Yuna, you said that you fled to 'here', do you mean this illusion, that is, the heart refining system?"
Yuna nodded flatly, and Zheng Xi immediately took a cool breath.
He had a strange feeling from the beginning, but at that moment just now, he was finally sure that Huang Liu and Yuna who appeared in front of him were not just consciousnesses, but entities!
Entering the illusion of the White Tiger Tower with a physical entity, Zheng Xi didn't know how Yuna did it, but he clearly realized how difficult it was to do this almost 'impossible' thing.
On top of that, they use this amazing way to hide from their enemies, and how terrifying is that to those who attack them?
As if to see through his thoughts, Yuna said lightly: "It's okay, here, he can't find us." ”
Zheng Xi was slightly stunned, suppressed the uncomfortable expression on his face, and asked, "Miss Yuna, what ...... next?"
"I have something to ask you for. ”
Yuna's tone was very calm, but it gave Zheng Xi an illusion that he could not refuse.
"What's the matter?"
"Help me take care of Brother Huang. ”
"Huh?"
Before Zheng Xi could fully react to Yuna's meaning, he saw Yuna suddenly raise her head, her eyes radiating golden light, and said with a smile: "Do you know, you and him are actually very similar." ”
"Me and, Huang Xiaoxiao......"
Before he finished speaking, Zheng Xi's consciousness suddenly burst into a sense of dizziness, and the next moment, he found that the picture in front of him had changed.
He saw a child, a child abandoned on the side of the road, less than two years old.
"It's ......"
Zheng Xi was very unfamiliar with the scene in front of him, and he began to suspect that everything was an illusionary scene, but the picture he saw did not match his memory at all.
It's not a fantasy, at least, it's not his!
The child was alone on the side of the road, and he could see that his eyes were full of hunger, but he didn't know what to do.
I don't know how long it took for the child to run past a rodent in front of his eyes and attract his attention.
The fist-sized garbage eater trots all the way to draw the child's attention to the garbage on the street corner, and then begins to nibble in small bites, full of vigilance.
After watching it for a long time, the child suddenly turned over and crawled over, scaring the eater who was eating garbage and ran away.
He looked at the dregs left behind by the nibder, tried to smell it, and put it in his mouth.
The dregs were less than half a mouthful, and after the child stayed for a long time, he turned his head to look at the garbage on the side.
In this way, under the 'education' of a passing eater, the child survived and slowly grew up.
However, the growing child gradually discovers that he is not alone in the food he is looking for, and that there are many other beggars in the town who are competing with each other for the garbage.
Weak and weak, he was soon bullied by other beggars, fell to the ground, and was punched and kicked by older children.
"It's really impatient to dare to grab something to eat from us!"
But the child was so hungry that he ignored the viciousness of the other beggars, and only wanted to eat two mouthfuls of garbage to fill his stomach.
After beating and scolding over and over again, eventually the other beggars got tired of it, so one of them stood up and made a proposal.
"You stand still, let me beat you, if you can hold on to my three, no, four punches...... No, six! If you can hold on to six punches, no one will be able to compete with you in the future. ”
The child was stunned for a long time, then looked at the garbage and swallowed his saliva and nodded.
Bang!
The fist landed on the child's stomach without saying a word, and a stream of bitter gall water churned up, blocking his throat and eyes.
But he didn't fall.
One punch, another punch, six full six punches fell on the child's body, but he never fell, but all the bitter gall water squirted out, and his face and body were full of stinking yellow.
"Oh yes, I really haven't fallen down. The beggar took a breath and snorted: "You stinky guy, you vomit all over yellow, just follow me in the future, just call you Huang Liu!"
Hearing this, Zheng Xi felt as if he had been struck by a thunderbolt, and finally understood who the protagonist in this illusion was.
Zheng Xi looked at Huang Liu with a complicated face, struggling step by step in the group of beggars, replacing the previous leader of beggars, and then met a girl named Xiaochan, and was finally betrayed and reduced to a slave, everything Huang Liu had in the past was seen by Zheng Xi.
The illusion disappeared when Huang Liu entered Black Forest Town, and the figures of Yuna and the others reappeared in front of Zheng Xi.
"You're a lot like him, but he's not as lucky as you. ”
Zheng Xi was silent.
Yuna is right, they are also orphans, Zheng Xi met a beggar who brought him up, but Huang Liu had to endure continuous pain to survive, and the situation between the two can be described as similar but different.
Only after experiencing the same life can he better understand how difficult Huang Liu's growth is.
"Help me take care of him. ”
Yuna opened her mouth again to make a request, and Zheng Xi was stunned and asked, "Why me, Miss Yuna, ...... you?"
"I'm really happy to be with you, but I'm afraid I won't be able to go down with you for the rest of the road. ”
Zheng Xi didn't understand what Yuna meant.
"He'll be able to recover from his injuries in a few days, and then you'll take care of him and stop doing stupid things, okay?"
Even if he didn't know why, or if there was ominous in his heart, Zheng Xi nodded after all.
Yuna smiled, then lowered her head and whispered something in Huang Liu's ear, and when she looked up again, her expression changed in Zheng Xi's heart.
Although he was still smiling, Zheng Xi's heart had a sense of holiness.
Holiness ...... No humanity!
