Chapter 14: Footprints of Childhood (I)

That Erin assistant is the liaison between Ye Xiangqian and the chief consul. After Assistant Erin took over the job, she did not hesitate to move to the hospital where Ye Xiangqian was recuperating, saying that she wanted to take care of the federal heroes at close range, and the days when Ye Xiangqian was molested by beautiful women began from then on......

Leaving the hospital, Ye Xiangqian silently walked through the streets, passing through the bustling crowd, feeling the breath of life that had been absent for a long time. The fallen leaves of late autumn slowly rolled, falling on the brim of the peaked hat, and the red phoenix eyes behind the sunglasses carefully recognized the familiar buildings.

"Ye Xiangqian, Xiangqian, you are really forward!"

Unexpectedly, wearing the sunglasses and cap specially prepared for him by Irene, he would still be recognized.

Ye Xiangqian frowned unconsciously, he didn't want to be disturbed, he just wanted to quietly take a look at the place where he had lived for fifteen years, and recall some people who were worth remembering.

The next moment, Ye Xiangqian suddenly found that the middle-aged woman who called out his name seemed to be somewhat familiar, and at the same time, some not-so-good memories came to mind.

"Oh yes, it's really you who are back, and my aunt wants to kill you. Quick, go home with your aunt, and your aunt will make you your favorite custard when you were a child......"

This self-proclaimed aunt is Ye Xiangqian's mother's own sister, his own aunt, and his only relative in the world. In fact, when he was seven years old, after his father was transferred to serve in the desert, he lived in his aunt's house until he was ten years old. Of course, the living expenses were mailed by his father on time.

"No need. Ye Xiangqian replied coldly. "You must be busy, I won't bother, goodbye. ”

After that, Ye Qian raised his legs and left, without giving the other party a chance to speak, leaving only a dull figure, standing there alone, not knowing if he would cry.

When he was ten years old, his father died in battle, and his aunt asked Ye Xiangqian to change the name of the house left by his parents to his cousin's name, but Ye Xiangqian refused. Since then, his aunt has never allowed him to set foot in the house until today. Ye Xiangqian's orphan life also began at that time.

If you say that you don't hate in your heart, it's false. A ten-year-old child was swept away by her only aunt just because she didn't want to give her daughter the only memory her parents had left. The most important thing is that in the five years of orphan life, my aunt has never visited Ye Xiangqian once, just like her sister, who has never had such a son.

In more than two years, Ye Xiangqian has grown from a thin teenager to a predator. Now he is the "Black Cavalry Captain", no longer the orphan who ate the last meal but did not eat the next meal, and will no longer cry silently because he was bullied.

Sometimes Ye Xiangqian would secretly think, "Is my aunt expecting me to die soon?" so that she can inherit my house, because he is my only relative in this world." ”

Those who despise the enemy are unkind, and those who despise righteousness are unkind. Ye Xiangqian didn't think that there was anything wrong with what he did, thinking about the situation when he was so hungry that his whole body was weak and he sat paralyzed under the willow tree. Think about the past when I was beaten by the little hooligans with my face covered in blood, and went home to cry while hugging the portrait of my parents, everything seems like yesterday......

Walking quietly into the open park, Ye Qianqian sat in the lake under a willow tree, just like he had seven years ago.

Seven years ago, his father was killed in battle and swept away by his aunt, and his only option was to enter an orphanage. But at that time, the Federation had experienced a full decade of technological paralysis, and had just been invaded by the Moorians, and the situation was in chaos. Almost all orphanages are not funded, and the orphans in the orphanages can only eat one meal a day, so they are not willing or afraid to accept new orphans, and their father's pension is not paid.

On that day, more than a dozen former "acquaintances" came to the door, saying that they wanted to buy his house, and the price offered was afraid that they could not even buy a bathroom. When those people saw that Ye Xiangqian was unwilling, they inevitably turned over coercion and intimidation, but fortunately he was strong enough. He cried more that day than in his whole life combined.

He didn't dare to go home that night, because those "acquaintances" kept blocking his door. Until the next morning, he was so hungry that he sat down under the willow tree, fantasizing about the delicious custard......

"Kid, can I teach you boxing? ”

Ye Qianqian raised his head, only to see a shriveled old face smiling at him, and two front teeth were missing in his mouth, which reminded him of the black-faced steamed buns that had been put away for several days.

"Let me tell you, my fist is called the Innate Fist, which can make the innate qi in a person's body grow infinitely, and finally form an innate spirit seed in the dantian. The sloppy old man gushed. "Innate qi nourishes the body for a long time, and it can also make people more powerful, and they can recover much faster than ordinary people after injury. If you learn......"

Ye Xiangqian, who was so hungry that he panicked, interrupted: "I'm hungry and don't have the strength to punch." ”

The sloppy old man's eyes lit up, and he hurriedly said, "Hungry, then I'll take you to eat, can you learn boxing with me?"

"Good!"

......

From that day on, Ye Xiangqian followed the sloppy old man and learned that useless innate boxing. The old man provided him with three meals a day, and this study was a year.

A year later, the old man said that he was going back to the countryside, hoping that he could still insist on playing Xianjian once a day, not much, just once a day.

Ye Xiangqian was unwilling, seeing that the meal ticket was gone, and he didn't even have to eat, what kind of punch did he fight! The old man was helpless, trembling, he took out a small cloth bag from his arms, and took out a stack of money from the cloth bag. He said that this was his coffin book, which could be given to Ye Xiangqian in half, but Ye Xiangqian had to swear that he would fight the Innate Fist once a day until the day he died, and asked Ye Xiangqian to go back to school.

At that time, Ye Xiangqian thought: Promise him first, and it is not up to him to decide whether to fight or not, and this old man can't see it. But as soon as I looked up, I saw the sloppy old man's face revealing his true feelings, and his right hand, which was holding the money, trembled, and his face was full of hope and pity. I thought that in the past year, the old man had supported himself in vain, just letting himself accompany him to box, which was countless times better than that aunt. Before leaving, he gave himself half of the coffin, isn't it just a fist a day? What's the big deal?

Therefore, Ye Xiangqian made a vow that seemed to him to be the heaviest: to swear in honor of his father.

Before leaving, the sloppy old man took off a string of bracelets in his hand, followed the glove on Ye Xiangqian's left wrist, and then grinned the shriveled lips that were missing two front teeth, smiled happily, and walked away.
