Chapter 21: The Past

On that day thirteen years ago, Zhang Mazi and his mother were weaving bamboo baskets together on the city tower, and it was raining heavily outside the building, and the noise was endless. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 infoAt that time, the hot season had come to an end, and the mountain road connecting Cliff City to the outside world could be blocked by the first snow at any time, and there were almost no outsiders entering the city at this time of the year, but two young people came at noon that day.

The two men, a man and a woman, both in their twenties, held an umbrella together, and when they reached the city gate, they looked up, and then jumped up and entered the city tower. On the city tower, they bowed to Zhang Mazi and his mother together, saying that they wanted to ask for a sip of hot soup to drink.

Such a request is not excessive, but Zhang Mazi's father died early, and he himself does not know how to hunt, so it is rare to see fishy meat at home, and it is easy to boil a pot of water, but there is no soup to drink. The young man understood their difficulties, and without saying a word, flew into the rain.

The boy was quite skillful, and he galloped towards the mountains and forests in the distance, not like a man running, but like a bird of prey flying close to the ground, dragging a long phantom in the rain. Not long after he went, he came back with a leopard, he asked Zhang Mazi for a knife, cut off a beast's leg, skinned it, and threw it into a pot of boiling water without washing.

The young girl had been sitting with her eyes closed since she entered the castle tower, when she suddenly opened her eyes and said to her son: "They are already very close, I am afraid that this soup will not be able to drink, let's go, we will not be able to leave any later." ”

Childe looked outside the city tower, turned his back to the girl and said: "Cliff City is located in the southernmost part of the mainland, and further south is the sea, and there is no way out. You can drink the soup with peace of mind, and let's rush north in the future. ”

The girl sighed: "If you are alone, it will be easy to go anywhere, but with me dragging you down, I am afraid that you will not even be able to pass this level." ”

Childe turned to look at the girl, seemed to be moved, and looked very serious, and said: "We have supported each other since childhood, how can you say such things now? If I am alone, it will not be interesting to go anywhere." ”

The girl smiled shallowly, stroked her belly, and was speechless for a moment. Zhang Mazi watched the movements of her hands, and then noticed that the girl's abdomen was slightly bulging, and she should be pregnant. As for how long she has been pregnant, Zhang Mazi has no experience in this area and can't tell. Zhang Mazi's mother also noticed this situation, and asked more: "Girl, you should be pregnant, right?

The girl smiled sweetly at Zhang Mazi and his mother, "It should be these two days." ”

Zhang Mazi said, "Ah, you have to be extra careful. I just listened to you, is there someone chasing you? At this time, you must be able to avoid it, and you must not do anything with others, otherwise it will cause the fetal gas to be disturbed, and it will be bad. ”

After a pause, he said: "It's not a matter of running around in this cold rain, alas, I don't think you are ordinary people, who have you provoked?"

Zhang Mazi and his mother walked around the outside world when she was young, and she saw some of the world, and saw that the disasters faced by these two people were by no means simple, and it was difficult to advance and retreat. Zhang Mazi was ignorant, thinking that he should go to the city to move the city lord to come over to administer justice. However, he did not dare to say this, and only silently added wood to the stove.

The girl didn't answer Zhang Mazi's mother's words, sighed softly, and said to the son: "Ao'er, why don't we hide for a few more days, and then fight with them after the child is born." ”

But Childe said: "They are chasing too quickly, we can't hide." I listened to the movement, there should be seventy people following this trip, you wait here, I will go and meet them for a while. ”

The girl said, "Seventy-seven, of whom you should be able to finish, and the other seven you are no match." ”

Childe said firmly: "Then you have to fight." With that, he flew into the rain again and drifted on the road from which he came. Seeing that he was in a hurry, Zhang Mazi aroused his curiosity, left the stove and looked outside the city tower, only to see that the son somehow turned into a silver-white giant sword, about several meters wide and dozens of meters long, flying forward in the torrential rain, and soon became a small dot at the end of the tiny end, and it was impossible to see clearly.

In the distance where the giant sword was hidden, there was immediately a terrifying beast roar, there were tigers, leopards, elephants, and wolves, and it was indescribably noisy, as if a wave of beasts was coming.

The girl stood up nervously, looked at the place where the beast's roar broke out, Zhang Mazi stood beside her, and listened to her say: "I've hurt you." Then he saw several tall and terrible beasts fleeing from the distant mountain path to the mountains and forests on both sides, and a huge beast running quickly towards the castle tower.

Zhang Mazi took a cursory look at it, there were a total of seven giant beasts galloping towards the city tower, and except for one wolf, the others couldn't tell what kind they were. These giant beasts are becoming more and more majestic and terrifying from far and near, and the smallest ones are at least tens of meters high, and if that kind of thing rushes over, the city tower will definitely be trampled to slag.

Childe's transformed giant sword chased after the seven giant beasts, slashing fiercely from time to time, as if an invisible giant was hunting and storing objects with that sword in his hand. However, the behemoths are indestructible, and even if they are knocked to the ground by the sword, they will immediately get up and continue to rush forward.

The other giant beasts that were rushing towards the mountains and forests were also running in the direction of the castle tower, as if they were outflanking them in a very planned way.

Even Zhang Mazi, who has always been dull, can see that the city tower is the target of the siege of this group of monsters, and their attack on the giant sword is only to dodge, but they do not fight back, and they run wildly, as if they want to fight to level the city tower.

The seven giant beasts were getting closer and closer, and the majestic roar had made the pots and pans in the building tremble, and even the wooden pavilion was shaking slightly. Zhang Mazi had never seen such a scene, it was too dreamy, very unreal, he was so frightened that he couldn't breathe, and glanced at his mother, who was also frowning, full of fear.

The pregnant girl closed her eyes at some point, and fell asleep like a railing. Zhang Mazi secretly guessed, is this waiting for death? He himself has the heart to wait for death, and he can't even dare to look at those terrible monsters that are approaching, but he can't help but be curious, and he still keeps looking.

In the blink of an eye, the seven fierce beasts had rushed to a distance of five or six hundred meters from the tower, so close that they could almost step on the tower with a sharp jump.

The encirclement formed by the other beasts was also shrinking rapidly, and at that moment, Zhang Mazi thought that he would definitely die, but he was not as scared as he was at the beginning.

Suddenly, two of the seven beasts disappeared out of thin air, and all of them stopped, staring at the tower with huge eyes, and roaring incessantly. Then, as if they had made an appointment, the beasts all spewed out a dizzy white air stream from the giant mouth and shot it towards the castle tower.

At this time, the giant sword flew like lightning to the position of more than two hundred meters in front of the city tower, and it reverted to the appearance of a childe. Dozens of air currents were pulled to Childe's side by an inexplicable force, swirling around him, with Childe as the center, forming a terrifying white vortex like a tornado, and many of the air currents that the beasts spewed out afterwards were also involved in the vortex.

Zhang Mazi was stunned by this scene, and was very worried that Gongzi would be thrown into the air by the cyclone at any time, or directly torn apart by the cyclone, and his bones would be shattered.

What I didn't expect was that the son supported it for a long time, and after a while, he shouted: "Sister Su Xin, I can't stand it, you just let them die with us." ”
