Chapter 14: The House of Hope
"Poof!" Lan Ge entered the water in response, and the cold sea water made him shiver smartly, and then he was lifted up by buoyancy, and his head was exposed to the water.
Looking at the sea around him, thinking back to what had happened before, even at this moment, he still felt like he was in a dream.
"This is an artifact? Why did the ancestors build such an unreliable artifact? Lan Ge wailed, and lay his upper body back, allowing himself to lie on his back on the sea, and all that was left in his heart was depression.
Three-masted galleon.
Fahua looked at his fingers, and then at the emptiness around him. While frowning, he understood that he was afraid that this matter was true. That Wushuang Zhu can really make the two of them summon each other, and more importantly, they can actually bear the damage together. That is, from today onwards, it is likely that their fate will no longer be decided by themselves, and there is another person who has half the right to decide.
"There is no match, the same life!" Hokke chanted the incantation again. Sure enough, as soon as his eyebrows heated, a beam of light was projected, and the two-headed rune appeared in front of him again. He reached out to touch the rune, and a strange sensation instantly spread throughout his body.
Compared with the first time, this time the feeling was much more profound, and vaguely, he could feel the existence of another heartbeat and another breath.
"What are you doing? I'm not going! A voice rose in his heart. Fahua was surprised to find that he was able to hear Lan Ge's voice even when he touched the runes.
"Whatever." Fahua said coldly.
On the other side, Lan Ge, who was in the middle of the sea, was also startled, in front of him, the rune was also projected, but he didn't touch it, and at this time, a voice suddenly came from the rune, how could he not startle him.
"Can this thing still talk?" Lan Ge sat up on the water, letting the water elemental support his body, staring blankly at the rune.
"Hmm."
"Smack!" As soon as Fahua raised his hand, he twitched himself again.
"Oh, what are you doing? Are you sick? Lan Ge was furious.
"I'll try the distance." Fahua said lightly.
It turns out that no matter how far apart they are, the damage is still to be shared. Originally, his face was very swollen and painful, but at this time, he slapped again, and Lan Ge, who was suddenly in pain, bared his teeth.
He roared loudly, "No matter what, find a solution." I don't want to have anything to do with you for a second! ”
Fahua said lightly: "Agreed." ”
As he spoke, he raised his palm pressed on the rune, the light and shadow converged, and everything returned to normal.
Ten days later.
Jurisdiction, the city of wisdom.
"Oh? Is this the case? After listening to Fahua's report, Fayun was also a little surprised. In his original thoughts, since it was an artifact, and it was an artifact made by almost all the powers of the entire planet in the Fairy Continent, the power should be incomparable. I didn't expect this to be the case. And what is very frustrating is that the person who has the same life as Fahua is a Blue Domain person. That's a bit of a hassle.
Fahua has excellent talents, and he can calm down and cultivate, and his foundation is very good, and he has a very good chance among the younger generation in the legal domain. Fayun knew that he would not be able to break through to the ninth order or above in his life, and pinned his hopes on his righteous son, but now that Fahua has the strange teleportation of this peerless bead, this future is a little confusing.
"Father-in-law, is there a way to lift it?" Fahua asked.
Fayun thought for a moment and said, "According to what you said, the condition of this Peerless Bead is somewhat like a curse. Linked the two of you together. Then, if you want to lift it, you need a magic weapon similar to lifting the curse, maybe you can try it. You don't have to worry too much, just work hard to cultivate first. I'm going to help you ask the Divine Envoy if there's a solution. ”
"Thank you, Father." Fahua respectfully saluted Fayun.
Fayun said: "Don't affect your mentality, there is always a way to solve it." ”
"Yes."
Coming out of the city lord's mansion, Fahua's eyes gradually calmed down, walking slowly on the road, listening to the various sounds on the street, looking at the shops on both sides of the road, his heart gradually calmed down.
All the way to Nancheng, he stopped in front of a small inconspicuous courtyard.
"Brother!" A voice full of surprise sounded, and then a small man rushed to him and hugged him.
A smile suddenly appeared on Fahua's usually cold face, and he squatted down, "Yongxian, are you good?" ”
"Uh-huh, I'm very good." Yongxian is a little boy with dark yellow skin, even his eyes are dark yellow, much thinner than normal children, but his eyes are the same as ordinary children, full of childishness.
"Then my brother rewarded you with a delicious meal, okay?" As he spoke, Fahua untied the bag behind his back, took out a piece of cake from it and handed it to him.
"Wow, that's great. My brother is the best. Yongxian took the cake and kissed it on Fahua's face, then turned around and ran towards the courtyard.
Fahua followed him with a smile on his face, "Slow down, don't fall." ”
At this time, an old woman walked out of the courtyard, and when she saw Fahua, her face was also full of smiles, "Ahua, you are back." ”
Fahua saluted her very respectfully, "Teacher Deng, thank you for your hard work." ”
Teacher Deng shook his head, "I don't have anything to work hard, I just do what I can." It's you who really suffers. ”
"Brother, brother!"
"Brother Fahua!"
At this moment, from the few small wooden houses in the courtyard, one after another figures rushed out, and instantly surrounded Fahua in it, all of them were children, and everyone had a smile of happiness and excitement on their faces. Surrounded by Fahua, bouncing around.
Fahua hurriedly distributed the cake he had brought to the children, and each of them would take his hand and kiss him on the face.
Hohua smiled and gave them every hug.
If you look closely, you will find that these children are not normal, they all have some disabilities on their bodies, some are missing arms, some cannot see, some walk crookedly, and some have slurred speech.
But when Fahua was around, each of them was full of excited smiles. It was as if Hokke was the biggest reliance on all of them.
It took half an hour of hustle and bustle for the children to quiet down and return to their respective accommodations.
"Ah Hua, come to my side." Teacher Deng beckoned to him.
Fahua hurriedly approached her, "Teacher Deng, I've been away these days, are the children okay?" ”
Teacher Deng sighed lightly, "Everyone else is fine, but I'm afraid Yongxian can't wait......" Speaking of this, Teacher Deng's eyes suddenly turned red.
Fahua subconsciously clenched his fists, "Yongxian, he ......"
Teacher Deng said bitterly: "This child was born with bile duct occlusion, and his liver has long been necrotic. To survive until now, it is up to you to ask the ruler of the Temple of Wisdom to help him maintain his vitality. However, in recent days, his physical condition has deteriorated. If you don't treat it thoroughly, I'm afraid it's ......."
Fahua said in a deep voice: "How long does he have left?" ”
Teacher Deng said: "There are three months at most. ”
Fahua took a deep breath, "Teacher Deng, I'll go buy that fruit!" With that, he turned to leave.
"No." Teacher Deng grabbed his arm, and tears couldn't help but welled up, "Child, you've done enough. All your pay goes to these children who have been abandoned because of various disabilities. The price of the fruit is astronomical for us. If you take it as the controller, I'm afraid you'll have to work for that Shengsheng Pavilion for the rest of your life. ”
Fahua carefully pulled away Mr. Deng's hand, sighed lightly, and said, "If my stepfather hadn't adopted me back then, perhaps, I would have frozen to death and starved to death in the streets and alleys. I know all of what you're saying, but how can I watch Yongxian die? He is still so young, and there are countless hopes for his future. I just want to give him a chance, a chance to choose the future. ”
The tears welled up in Ms. Deng's eyes even more, and of course she knew how much Fahua had paid for these children.
In the eyes of others, Fahua, who is the controller, should be the pride of the sky, but only she knows that Fahua's simple life is no different from that of an ascetic, and while cultivating hard, all the income she can get as a controller is used to help these children.
In this small house of hope, there are now twenty-three children, twelve of them, all of whom she and Fahua pulled back from the line of death.
"Otherwise, the city lord will ......," Teacher Deng said in a low voice.
Fahua shook his head vigorously, "My stepfather has already given me a chance to be reborn, how can I trouble him?" It's not just these children who need help in the City of Wisdom, our jurisdiction is already barren, and there are already too many things for the righteous father to worry about. I will do what I can. ”
As he spoke, he stepped forward and hugged Mr. Deng, "Mr. Deng, believe me, I can do it." I'm already a mid-level controller, and my salary will increase. Also, I'm starting to be able to go out on some tasks now. There should be more income. I will definitely be able to repay the money for the fruit. ”
Teacher Deng hugged him tightly, "Child, I'm sorry for you." ”
Fahua shook his head, "I'm not bitter, I'm happy." Helping Yonghyun and other children is not only helping them, but also helping myself, and it is a cleansing of my soul. So that I can not forget my original intention and cherish everything I have now. ”
