Chapter 30: A Bleak Childhood

The Liekong Mountain stretches for thousands of miles, like a long dragon entrenched on the continent, and the mountain is reckless, and the top of the pole is not visible. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info Qin Mo and the others arrived at one of the largest human settlements in the mountains, Feilong Village. The cottage is built under a steep cliff, and when you look up, you can't see the green of life, only the dangerous peaks made of maroon sandstone.

Ares let them stay here for three days, he needs some time to open the Seal Gate, and see you at the top of the main peak of Burning Sky Mountain in three days. Ayina originally planned to arrive at Liekong Mountain and then take the avenue to Zhaoyue City, and finally go back to the Ancient Tree to go to the Eastern Continent, but when she heard that Qin Mo and the others were going to a place they had never heard of before, they wanted to follow. As the captain of the team, Gray didn't agree with anything, she always went against him for more than ten days on the road, and Gray, who has always been graceful, couldn't help it when he met this kind of wayward woman, and decided to take her after a secret meeting with several people, and many people always had to do more, and this second-order mage couldn't make any waves. You can go, but you have to take care of her open-mouthed mouth, don't get into trouble on the road, especially put away the pampered eldest lady's temper, no one here is obligated to take care of you.

Ayina nodded happily, but she didn't think so, she promised first, and then said, anyway, you can't do anything to me when the time comes. She sent a letter from the Flying Dragon Village to her home to report her safety, and said that she was going to do something important and go back after a while, but she did not write where she was going under Gray's reminder.

I heard that the people here have been cultivating strength for generations, so the warriors are respected here, and under the current trend of mage, the hearts of the people here are also radicalized to the extreme, and the more popular the magicians, the more they unite and reject the outside line. Ales also grew up in this mountain, and I heard that he was accepted by his master as a closed disciple since he was a child, and he devoted himself to martial arts, and after more than ten years, he became a blockbuster and became the number one warrior on the Burning Sky Mountain, Gray speculated that he was already a fourth-order strength. The world is small, as small as Gray's reputation is also heard of here, and the world is also very big, so big that a rare warrior powerhouse like Ares is not known to more people.

Perhaps it is the region that affects human habits, and only resolute warriors can survive in a difficult place like Liekong Mountain, just as the spiritual power of ancient trees has nurtured generations of elves and excellent mages.

Feilong Village does not have the hotel that Qin Mo imagined, the people who come here are staying in people's homes, looking at the simple houses, Qin Mo realized the hardships of the warrior's road. There was a column of people standing outside the gate, and when Qin Mo and the others approached, they found that it was some villagers who were competing for tourists to stay in their homes, which was also their source of income. Since there was no extra room in each family, the family could only provide one bed, and the two sisters and two brothers naturally divided into one family, and the four of them looked at Qin Mo and Aiina.

"Then you two ......," Gray said thoughtfully.

Qin Mo's eyes widened, not knowing what this Gray was thinking about all day.

"You think beautifully!" Aiina shouted unceremoniously at Qin Mo.

"I can only ask for one more accommodation. Gray finally finished speaking, it was Qin Mo who thought too much about himself.

Everyone began to choose their own host family, Gray Xuanxi and both of them chose the house of the nearest villager to them, Aiina was more willful, and she must choose the most comfortable one, and Qin Mo After some thought, she chose the last little girl in the crowd.

Qin Mo noticed that when they walked towards the gate of the village, a neat row of people who were originally standing began to compete for the position in front, and the little girl who was originally at the front of the line was squeezed to the end by a group of aunties, where could her weak body squeeze past them. No one cared about her feelings, and she held up the sign in her hand behind the crowd without saying a word: Accommodation Ten Copper.

Ten copper, is the lowest price Qin Mo saw after a glance, this is nothing, the key is the words on it, it is Qin Mo familiar with Chinese.

"It's so unlucky, I actually let her grab it!"

"Yes, yes, the worst house in the village, and I'm not afraid of jokes. ”

The aunts sneered, the little girl still didn't squeak, glanced at Qin Mo and lowered her head, Qin Mo didn't understand why these women treated a child who hadn't grown up like this, just smiled at the girl in a friendly way.

"Good luck. After learning about the worst house Qin Mo lived in, Ayina gloated.

They each followed the owner to the house, and on the way the little girl looked excited, but Qin Mo could only see half of her face, and her right eye was covered by hair. The girl is thin and small, it should be a lack of nutrition, but it is such a weak body, jumping like a bird next to Qin Mo, looking at her so cheerful, Qin Mo feels that it is nothing for him to live in a humble place, and he really can't bear to see her being bullied.

"My name is Bai Lixin, you can call me Xin'er. The girl said politely to Qin Mo.

Qin Mo briefly introduced himself, and could only say that he was from the ancient tree. The girl showed a look of envy on her face, she had never been out of this mountain until now, and she had only heard about how wonderful the outside world was.

Bai Lixin took Qin Mo to his home, this is a house piled up of rocks, some places have been weathered and have no original shape, there are a few simple pieces of furniture displayed in the house, but the broken bamboo basket is neatly placed on the ground, it should be reluctant to throw it away. It can be seen that this family is living a very hard life.

The girl said that her father had gone to the mountains to collect the fruit and would not come back until dinnertime. The Strange Power Fruit is a specialty of Liekong Mountain, it is a small bright red fruit, which can make people quickly recover their physical strength, it is a good product carried by people who practice martial arts, and it is sold all over the world, Qin Mo seems to have seen this kind of red fruit in the ancient tree market. Most of the people here also rely on gathering to increase their income, and the price of this kind of thing will increase several times after the hands of merchants, but it will be difficult for these laborers who work hard to collect raw materials.

"Where's your mother?" Qin Mo asked.

"I didn't see my mother, and my father said she died when I was born. Although Bai Lixin had a smile on her face, she couldn't hide the loss in her heart.

Qin Mo didn't know that this girl who looked about the same age as Isa Della was actually suffering that ordinary people didn't have, the father and daughter had been dependent on each other in this mountain for more than ten years, and the girl was also sensible earlier than her peers in this environment.

The sound of children frolicking came from outside the open door, Qin Mo saw that it was still early, so he asked Bai Lixin to go out to play, and just clean up the whole bed by himself, although he was a guest, how could he let a little sister do this.

Bai Lixin looked out the door, but did not move.

"Nobody wants to play with me. Her voice trembled.

"Why?" Qin Mo saw that the girl was about to cry, so he pulled her to his side, "Tell my brother why the children don't play with you, and those adults also exclude you." ”

Qin Mo is only a seventeen-year-old person, but he has to try to comfort a child, he can't coax a child, it is already difficult to change the usual style of speaking.

Bai Lixin was pulled to Qin Mo's side, and she was a little taller than Qin Mo who was sitting on the edge of the bed, and at this time, the tears that she had been holding back by her eyes fell instead.

"Don't cry, are they bullying you?" Qin Mo helped her wipe away the tears on her cheeks, and just as she was about to brush away her right hair, her hand was opened by her.

Seeing her react so strongly, Qin Mo felt that he should understand the reason.

"They all say I'm ugly, so don't look at me. Bai Lixin said very seriously, but she cried very aggrieved.

"How so? You're so good-looking. Qin Mo didn't tell a lie, Bai Lixin's face was a little thinner, because the nutrition couldn't keep up, but it could be seen that if he was a little recuperated, he would also be a little beauty.

"I'm afraid to scare you......"

"Why, you're so much prettier than some of the people I've ever seen, let me see. ”

Qin Mo gently unveiled her long bangs as she spoke, she seemed to trust Qin Mo very much, she didn't obstruct it, but her eyes were tightly closed.

This look did surprise Qin Mo a little, he saw a strange black mark around Bai Lixin's right eye, if he had to say what it looked like, it was like a black flame.

"You're ......"

Bai Lixin pushed Qin Mo away, feeling as if she had been deceived and as if she had been ridiculed, she cried and turned around to leave, but was picked up by Qin Mo.

"It's beautiful! Do you know!" Qin Mo said very resolutely, he thought that the girl's right face was ulcerated or didn't have a right eye or something, but at first glance, it turned out that there was color around the eyes, but in fact, the whole face was particularly marked.

"Brother, don't make fun of Xin'er, no one says I'm good-looking except my father, and I know that my father is comforting me. ”

"I'm serious, do you know that in my hometown, many girls still like to paint this kind of weird makeup, you are not ugly, you are beautiful!" Qin Mo stared at Bai Lixin and said categorically.

Bai Lixin looked at Qin Mo's serious eyes, stopped crying, and buried her head in a low voice, "Really...... Really?"

Looking at the shy little girl, Qin Mo felt that his efforts were not in vain, life was already so hard, he couldn't watch her suffer mentally. Self-confidence, you must give your child self-confidence, maybe this is more important than financial relief.

When Bailixin was born, her mother died in childbirth, and this was only the beginning of the nightmare. When she was born, she had a black birthmark on her right eye, and the news spread quickly. The sorcerer in the village said that this was a sign of disaster, and that soon after his mother's death, his father's leg was unfortunately broken, and although he was connected, he was disabled for life, and the burden of the family fell on his brother who served in the imperial capital Zhaoyue, who knew that a few years later the elder brother died in the line of duty. Instead of lending a helping hand, the people in the village deliberately isolated her, and no one was willing to try it at the cost of their lives.

"Brother, you're so nice. After Bai Lixin finished telling her experience, she suddenly said to Qin Mo that not only did she not cry, but with a child's unique innocent smile, which made Qin Mo puzzled.

"It's been a long time since I've listened to me say so much, and I'm in a much better mood now. ”

Since coming to this world, she has been entangled by various things every day, it is rare to have the opportunity to sit down and listen to people quietly, and it is rare for Qin Mo to be touched like today, the girl has experienced so many life and death, but she has never given up her desire for life.

"Xin'er, don't believe in the mark of fate, the future is in your own hands. In fact, Qin Mo himself was tired of hearing this kind of words, and now in order to guide a child, he realized that his parents often whispered in their ears because of their helplessness, "If you still believe in the doom of fate, then please also believe in the gods." ”

Qin Mo took off the pendant around his neck and stuffed it into Bai Lixin's hand, although this jade pendant is not an important family heirloom, it is also Qin Mo's beloved thing, it is the first birthday gift that Han Yun gave him. He knew that there was something wrong with this, and he cherished and kept the gifts given by his friends, but there was nothing better than this at the moment, and it was precisely because of the importance of this jade pendant that Qin Mo wanted to give it to her, and if Yun'er knew the twists and turns, he would support him.

"No, no, no, I can't ask for it!" Bai Lixin decisively refused.

"Listen, this is a treasure that will bring good fortune, take it with you, and the gods will bless you. ”

Under Qin Mo's strong request, Bai Lixin finally accepted the jade pendant, and she was like getting a rare treasure, and she couldn't calm down for a long time.

"I'm curious how you play when you're bored?"

Hearing Qin Mo's question, Bai Lixin showed a mysterious appearance and took out a large delicate box from a locked cabinet on the wall.

When the box was opened, it turned out to be a Go board, and I didn't expect to see such a thing here. Bai Lixin carefully opened the two chess boxes, and the black and white chess pieces showed their luster, which was not ordinary.

This chess piece is made of Bai Yao Xuanyu, each of which is worth a lot of money, but I didn't expect this poor family to have such treasures. In her spare time, Bai Lixin likes to study this game of Go with her father, and for her, this chess is worth far more than money.

"This was given to me by a guest officer surnamed Han, and he taught me ......"

"What are you talking about!" Qin Mo slapped the bed and got up, which really startled Bai Lixin, "Is it her?" Qin Mo took out his mobile phone and flipped out a photo of Han Yun.

"It's not her, it's an uncle. Bai Lixin looked at the thing in Qin Mo's hand curiously, "But this sister is so beautiful, who is it?"

originally thought that this person was Han Yun who was inseparable from ten, but in the end, he was happy again, Qin Mo didn't answer her, just asked her to play chess. Where can Qin Mo play Go, he can only play backgammon with her, Bai Lixin has no other interests, and he is immersed in this black and white on weekdays, but there is a way to advance and retreat between square inches.

It was dusk in the blink of an eye, Qin Mo was hungry when he lost, he thought about letting her play a few rounds, but he found that he couldn't win a single game, this kid is a child, and he didn't know how to save face for himself by releasing water...... In fact, it's not that Qin Mo is too vegetable, but Bai Lixin is too strong, but unfortunately, in this chaotic era of martial arts, how useful can it be for black and white chess?

A trembling middle-aged man walked in outside the door, carrying a bamboo basket on his back and an iron axe in his right hand, so that he could barely support him with a leg disease. As a proud warrior, he can no longer kill the enemy because of a dead leg, and can only make a living by gathering in the deep mountains. Bai Lixin put down the chess pieces in his hand and ran over to unload the bamboo basket for him, this is his father.
