Chapter 127: A Man Honored by the Gods
Xiao Chen finally slowly regained consciousness, but his open eyes no longer had the agility they used to have, and some were just dazed. "Who the hell is this, and who am I?" Xiao Chen shook his head desperately, trying to find the answer, but found nothing.
The huge pain and endless remorse caused by the loss of more than a dozen innocent lives made Xiao Chen forcibly block his unbearable memories to look at directly, along with everything before.
But can this be escaped? Can this escape the condemnation of the heart? No one knows!
Xiao Chen, who opened his eyes, was surprised to find that he was lying in a small room. It's a very basic (a cottage with nothing but a table, a chair and a bed), but it's exceptionally clean and tidy. He was lying quietly on the only couch in the room, covered with a thin bedding that had long been washed and turned white.
"Are you awake?" a strangely friendly voice sounded in his ears. The next thing that appeared in front of Xiao Chen was an old woman about fifty years old, with a kind face and a rough dress. Xiao Chen struggled to sit up at the moment. But he was stopped.
"Child, you lie down first, and the reason why you faint is because you are seriously injured. You'd better eat something to lift your spirits first!" the old woman handed over a steaming porcelain bowl. Inside is full of fragrant noodles, and there are two golden poached eggs floating on top of the noodles.
"This..."Xiao Chen subconsciously wanted to refuse, but his stomach screamed angrily. Suddenly, his face turned red.
"Child, eat, eat, it won't taste good when it's cold!" said the old woman with a smile of great kindness. Seeing that the child, who had been rescued by herself, had woken up safely, the old woman's heart was filled with relief.
"Thank you, Auntie!" Xiao Chen, who was already hungry, was no longer polite, he picked up the big bowl and devoured it, it was so fragrant!
After worshipping the Five Organs Temple, Xiao Chen finally had time to take a closer look at the life-saving benefactor in front of him. Although the clothes are simple, the smile is unusually sincere. But the rough big hands, the too many crow's feet at the corners of the eyes, and the whiteness of the sideburns that can't be hidden at all. This made Xiao Chen understand at once that this was a kind woman who looked unusually old due to overwork.
"Son, what is your name, where did you come from, why were you so badly wounded, that you passed out in that place?" came a flurry of questions from the woman's mouth. Facing such a sincere look and such a kind smile, Xiao Chen couldn't bear to lie in front of the other party.
"I... I... Ahh In order to escape the great pain, Xiao Chen subconsciously chose to block that part of the memory.
"Okay, child, don't think about it anymore!" Seeing Xiao Chen's appearance, the woman panicked, and she hurriedly persuaded. She no longer hesitated, leaned Xiao Chen's head into her arms, and slowly rubbed it for him.
This feeling is really warm, so warm! Xiao Chen finally calmed down slowly.
"Mother Xu. I heard you picked up a beggar from outside?" A young girl burst in. Willow eyebrows, melon seed face, Qiong nose, pink ears, cherry mouth, at first glance, she is a beauty in a hundred.
"Hey, it's so dirty, it stinks!" As soon as the girl saw Xiao Chen, she pinched her nose, frowned, and her slender pink jade hands kept fanning in the air, trying to drive away the smell in the house. But the smell is too strong and too punchy. The girl slammed into the house, then gulped for fresh air.
"Mother Xu, you come out for me!" the girl roared outside the door.
"Fourth Miss, why are you here?" Mother Xu hurriedly ran out and saluted the girl.
"Why am I here? Mother Xu, do you understand the rules of my Nangong family? You are a subordinate who washes the water, and you actually bring outsiders into my Nangong family without permission, you are so bold, can you be guilty?"
"Fourth Miss, forgive me!" Mother Xu panicked and quickly knelt on the ground. His main family is not an ordinary family, it is the Nangong family, one of the four famous families of the Great Yan Kingdom, and even the imperial court has to be afraid of the existence of a little bit. And the rules of the Nangong family are also extremely strict, once violated, the heaviest is to be beaten to death, and the lightest is to be beaten to death and expelled from the Nangong family?
"Mother Xu, let's do it! You drive this guy out now, and I'll treat it as if this didn't happen!" Seeing that Mother Xu was panicked, Miss Nangong Si hurriedly helped Mother Xu up, and said gently, feelings, this little girl who looks extremely vicious is actually very kind in her heart.
"No, Fourth Miss, this poor kid seems to have lost his memory, if he is kicked out, he will die!" Mama Xu looked back at Xiao Chen in the room and said in embarrassment.
"Mother Xu, you are so confused!" The girl stomped her feet angrily, "That dirty and disgusting guy, what does his life and death have to do with you? Mother Xu, you have also been in our Nangong family for so many years, my Nangong family has never taken in outsiders from unknown places, you don't know it! Get him rid of him, if the eldest brother, second sister, and third brother know about it, I can't protect you!"
"But Miss Four, this kid is so pitiful!" Xu's mother argued.
"Mother Xu, there are so many poor people in this world, you can't just go home to get one when you see one, right? What do you think of my Nangong family, one of the four great families of the Great Yan Kingdom?" The girl finally sank her face. If it weren't for the fact that Xu Ma had worked in the Nangong family for many years, she would have turned her face a long time ago.
"Mother Xu, you don't need to beg her in a low voice, I'll leave immediately!" Xiao Chen walked out of the house. Mother Xu's kindness once moved her very much, but the girl's arrogance turned this emotion into anger. He Xiao Chen has never had the habit of snorting at others.
"No, child, you look like this, you will definitely die if you go out!" Xu's mother was even more anxious. For some reason, she has an inexplicable affection for the amnesiac child in front of her who has just woken up from a coma.
"Mother Xu, don't think I don't know what you're thinking!" the beautiful girl lamented, "If I'm not mistaken, Mother Xu, if your missing son hadn't died, he would have been about the same age as this kid." I know that Mother Xu is thinking about you, but he is not your son after all. You can't offend the family rules of the Nangong family for him!"
"But Miss Four" Mother Xu is still not giving up.
"Mother Xu, thank you for your kindness, but I have made up my mind, no need to say more!" Xiao Chen smiled at Mother Xu. Xiao Chen really didn't want to involve this kind old woman because of himself.
"It's so cool! It's so cool!" the excited god Song Shi finally returned to the extremely cold place where thousands of miles of ice and snow drifted, and returned to the beautiful crystal castle. Although he was forced by his brother's prestige, he had to spare that hateful boy. But if you think about it, this is actually not a bad result, and it is actually much more comfortable to let that little bastard live in remorse and pain forever than to deal with him all at once.
"Hahaha!" The unbridled voice echoed in the beautiful crystal palace, unwilling to disperse for a long time. But at this moment, an invisible huge force struck, and Song Shi 'pounced' and lay on the cold ground.
"Aren't you very imposing? Don't you take my words seriously?" As the cold words fell, the figure of the Celestial God with a blue face appeared.
"Didn't I follow your brother's orders and spare that kid?" Song Shi struggled to support the ground with his hands, trying to stand up. But the power that pressed on the body made such a simple action a luxury.
"I find that I am underestimating you more and more, you can actually do such a thing to that child, aren't you simple?"
"Whoever called that little bastard the wild seed of the adulterer's wife, I was angry when I saw him, and I wanted to break him into pieces when I saw him"
"What do you mean by an adulterer?" Lord Tenjin also roared angrily, "Don't forget, the woman who is still sleeping in the crystal coffin is my own sister, and even more so your own sister!"
"And that fourth envoy from the underworld named Xiao Chen, according to this relationship, is you and my own nephew!
"I am not a man, I am certainly not a man! I am a god, a great god, an invincible being. Big brother, you say I'm not a human being, that Ning Xue and that slut have caused me to sleep for fifteen years, why don't you say it? Are you still my own brother?"
"Bastard!" Tenjin-sama, who couldn't bear it anymore, kicked over.
"Beat your brother, you are so brave! But the thousand-year-old wandering spirits who claim to be the seven true gods, they forcibly took away from your hands the world that you and I had worked so hard to create, why don't you keep silent? Phew! What bullshit true gods are just thousand-year-old wandering souls who escaped from the underworld! With the strength of you and me, we can easily wipe them out completely. But brother, why do you still have to swallow your anger? Where is your ambition? Do you dare to be angry only at your own brother?"
"Bastard, a self-righteous fool with no one in his eyes! Do you think those seven thousand-year-old wandering spirits who claim to be true gods are really so vulnerable? Yes, five of those seven are indeed weak, and you and I can easily kill them!"
"But what about the two strongest ones? Don't you forget, their second eldest was the first person in the world a thousand years ago, and there are countless heroes and heroes who died at his hands. Even if I face him, I'm afraid I can only barely win!"
"As for you," Tenjin-sama did not say any more, but the words revealed a deep disdain.
"And as for their most terrifying big brother, if I were to face him. Who lives and who dies is anyone's guess. Don't forget, the evaluation of that guy by future generations is the first person in the ages!" Speaking of the most mysterious and terrifying eldest brother among the seven true gods, the face of the Heavenly God was also solemn.
"So, idiot, don't underestimate anyone. Don't think that you are from the heavenly realm and feel that you are on top of it. If you can go through what I've been through, you'll find out."
"Actually, the people of the heavenly realm are not remarkable!"
