The young man's name is Bai Shao, and he lives at the bottom of the world with his sister Bai Yao, who lives on each other.

There are many children like them, and the war that eats people and does not spit out bones has displaced countless families, separated people's wives, and the parents of the brothers and sisters like Bai Shao and Bai Yao died in the war, and only the two of them are left in the family.

It stands to reason that children who grow up in such an environment will not have the slightest hope for the future like stagnant water, after all, no one knows whether they can grow up, and when they grow up, they will be caught and dragged to war.

In the face of the invisible future, hope is the most elusive thing for ordinary people.

But Bai Shao is different, he is a vigorous weed, and he inexplicably believes that he will be able to change his fate one day.

Therefore, he was full of hope for the future, and he did not want to build a straw hut and make it a random residence like others, but saved all the money he had earned, and prepared to rent a hut in the city, enough for him and his sister to live in, and have a tile to cover them.

Bai Shao has made a lot of efforts for this, most of the teenager's time is wasted on this, and his younger sister Bai Yao is also sensible early, and the three or four-year-old child will already take care of himself and protect himself, so as not to let his brother worry about it.

Thanks to the concerted efforts of the siblings, they are still one step away from earning enough money to rent a house, and when they get a house, they will be able to have an identity, be able to work part-time, earn more money, and completely settle down in this city.

Three days, three more days.

In a boring and difficult life, the stalls set up on the street corners every night are the only fun for the Bai Shao and Bai Yao brothers and sisters, and the storyteller in a white coat and goat's beard is the only way for them to look at the sky from this narrow well.

The brother and sister were shy in their pockets, and naturally they couldn't use the precious money to reward the storyteller, so they secretly shrank in the corner, hiding behind the back basket, and listening to the storyteller's voice from afar.

Today, the siblings have found their old place in a place that will not be discovered by the storyteller, and they can hear him clearly.

And what Mr. Storyteller is talking about today is nothing else, it is the secret affairs of the royal family in this city-

It is said that now that the seven countries are fighting, you are fighting for me, and the war has hardly stopped.

Only on that night eighteen years ago, when the dark clouds were approaching, the Seven Kingdoms stopped their spearheads and held a truce for three months.

The storyteller was shocked: "Do you know what day this night is?" ”

The people who sat on the benches and listened attentively shook their heads and said they didn't know.

The storyteller looked around mysteriously and lowered his voice:

"That day is ...... The day the ninth princess was born! ”

A series of exclamations rang out below.

"Nine princesses? Is that the demon star princess? ”

"Shhh

Everyone knows that the demon star princess is the secret of this royal family, and the heavenly family ordered the people not to talk about it, so everyone only knows a little bit about it, but I didn't expect the storyteller to mention this demon star princess, and excitement appeared on everyone's faces.

The brothers and sisters Bai Shao and Bai Yao, who were hiding in the corners, also showed curiosity.

The storyteller didn't sell it, and continued to tell the story:

"It is said that before the birth of the ninth princess, there were many strange things in the palace, and her mother died of blood on the day she gave birth, which aroused the disgust of His Majesty."

Someone couldn't help but answer: "But the birth is extremely dangerous for a woman, and the death of the ninth princess's mother can't be blamed entirely on her." ”

"Of course!" The storyteller stroked his beard, "But what if the day the ninth princess was born was noon, but there was a tengu eclipse sun and nine stars?" The most terrible thing is that on the day the ninth princess was born, the world was plagued by constant disasters, not only in our country, but also in the other six countries!

So today I invited the teacher to go abroad and approve the life of the nine princesses, only to learn that the nine princesses were born into the world by demon stars, and if she lived, one day she would set off a war in this world, and the world would die! ”

Mr. Storyteller's words made everyone breathe in.

"Really? Then, why didn't Your Majesty kill the Ninth Princess? ”

Although the words of the father killing the daughter are cruel, but in the eyes of the people, it is common for the royal family to kill each other, and it is not uncommon for the father to kill the son and the son to kill the father, how can the ninth princess be allowed to live today?

Mr. Storyteller: "It is rumored that the Nine Princesses have really suffered a few times, but whenever the Nine Princesses are in danger, they will be born strange, and it is rumored that the Nine Princesses are closely related to the fate of the Ninth Princess, if the Ninth Princess dies, then the Ninth Princess will be counterattacked and die!" Yes, the ninth princess has survived to this day and raised to the age of eighteen. ”

The people who listen to the book are still curious, you and I ask one by one, and the storyteller knows everything and says everything, until late at night and the exhaustion is gone.

Bai Shao in the corner was still bright, but his sister had been sleeping in her arms for a long time.

Seeing that everyone else was about the same, Mr. Storyteller was also packing his things and preparing to leave.

Bai Shao got up secretly and wanted to sneak away quietly with his sister in his arms.

"Wait!" My sister Bai Yao didn't know when she woke up, and she shouted in a milky voice.

Then he jumped out of his brother's arms, held the apple that had been hidden in his arms for a long time, trotted to the storyteller, and handed the apple over.

The little girl was as flexible as a tail fish, and Bai Shao couldn't stop it, so she watched her stupid sister run over and expose herself.

"Here you go." Bai Yao held the apple in both hands, her eyes bright, "We have no money, we can only give you fruits to eat, thank you grandpa." ”

The storyteller took it with a smile, and was not angry or surprised by the sudden appearance of the brother and sister.

Rubbing the little girl's head: "Call uncle." ”

Bai Yao blinked.

Bai Shao saw that Mr. Storyteller's attitude was wrong, and walked over with a slightly embarrassed look on his face.

"Sorry sir, we didn't mean to eavesdrop......"

The young man's dirty face barely showed a little red.

It's shame.

The storyteller didn't care, wiped the apple and nibbled on it.

It turned out that he had known about the existence of the brother and sister for a long time, and occasionally deliberately raised the volume just to let the brother and sister hear.

"People live a life of knowledge, and if you want to be a person who understands troubled times, there is nothing wrong with it."

The ashamed young man listened to the storyteller's words and barely raised his head.

At the same time, I asked the doubts that had been pressed in my heart for a long time:

"That Nine Princesses, Demon Stars...... So is it true that the number of fates is true? Will she really ruin this world? ”

The storyteller raised his eyebrows and asked rhetorically:

"What do you think?"

In fact, the boy already had the answer in his heart.

Bai Shao shook his head slowly: "I think...... No. ”

The storyteller smiled and patted Bai Shao on the shoulder.

"Do you want me to tell you the second half of this prophecy?"
