Chapter 189: Life and Death, Awakening
It is easy to have Taiji, which is to give birth to two rituals, two rituals to give birth to four elephants, and four elephants to give birth to gossip...... Heaven and earth are born in reincarnation, reincarnation is born in reincarnation, and acacia is painful......
The capital of the sunset, the god who has lost his protection.
Here, countless people become rich and famous every day, and countless people die of illness and death.
What was once prosperous has evolved into a capital abandoned by the gods.
Later, adventurers found the lost treasure and gold here. So, merchants, nobles, robbers...... Whether it's people who are cornered or wolf-like, frantically pour into this shattered city.
Their arrival, the introduction of new beliefs, the protection of new gods, reawakened the life of this decadent city.
However, those who were abandoned by the gods in the past are eternally cursed by heaven. For generations, they lived in the poorest, dirtiest, and lowest corners until the population was wiped out completely......
The sunset is like a wave, and the glass-colored tiles reflect the beauty of the sky. The capital city, which had just rained, exuded a charming scent in a thin mist. The purple sunset twists and turns, stretching for thousands of miles.
In the remote and dilapidated monasteries in the city, there are no gods to worship, no ethereal incense, and no bells like frost and snow.
The crumbling floor, the old stones, the damp green moss to the left and the right. Shallow puddles of water, floating messy dust, reflecting broken eaves. The wall creeper stretched out, dropping the undried rainwater drop by drop.
In the dark and damp temple, there was a sound of sobbing from a young girl.
The stone platform where the statues of the gods were originally held was already covered with dust, and thousands of cobwebs hung down through the perforated tiled roof. In the soft sunset, there is a little golden light.
In the corner next to the stone platform, a thin girl was curled up, and she was draped in an old yellow and old yellow dress. The delicate calves lose their due shine. With sallow skin, thin cheeks, and big eyes full of tears and despair, he stared at the boy standing in front of him: "You liar, you liar, you liar, you are a liar, bad person!"
The boy is the same age as the girl, twelve or thirteen years old. She was wearing a dress that was bigger and older than a girl, and patches of all sizes could be seen everywhere, and a trace of dark red could be faintly seen in the dirty marks. The bare little feet were scarred. The blood blisters pierced, and the blood mixed with the dirt stuck to the skin. The frighteningly thin face had no expression, no blood. The protruding cheekbones are clearly visible, but the calm eyes are rippling with a hint of arrogance, a little bit of last self-esteem.
He slowly took out a moldy and hard steamed bun from his bosom and carefully patted off the attachments on it, as if trying to make it look as good as possible. And then. Reach out and hand it to the girl curled up on the ground.
"No!" the girl yelled hysterically, slapped the steamed bun off the boy's hand, and shouted in a hoarse voice: "You lie to me! You are a liar! Dad is also a liar, your father is also a liar! All of you are liars!"
The boy was not annoyed, nor did he speak, but listened quietly. Let the girl vent her grief and resentment.
"We used to be so good, so good...... But you lied to me!!! Dad said he would come back. He said he would take me to life...... Whining...... But...... But he didn't! He died! He never came back!"
“...... And, and your father...... Uncle ...... He's dead, he's dead, they're all dead, and they're all saying they're going to protect me. But they all lied to me!, all of them died!!"
"And you!" the girl grabbed the boy's clothes, tugged at the corners of his clothes, buried her head, and pressed hard against his abdomen, as if to vent the sadness and anger in her heart, "You also said that you would protect me! Don't let me suffer!"
"But now?!" the girl looked up suddenly, and her tearful face was not known for resentment or unwillingness. She bit her lower lip and bit it, biting and bleeding, but she still couldn't stop the surging tears. The little pale face trembled with cry. "But what have you done now? I'm hungry, I have nothing to eat, and I eat these moldy steamed buns you brought back every day, food that only cats and dogs eat! I'm sick, I don't have money to buy medicine, and I have to endure pain all the time!"
"And what about you?!!
The boy was startled, and was about to come forward and hold her, but he didn't know where the girl's strength came from, so he pushed him to the ground and cried: "Don't touch me!!Liar! You big liar! Because of your dignity! Your arrogance! Now I am going to die! I will die in this rancid, rancid and dark place! This is your promise to me! Liar!"
The girl was so excited that her condition immediately worsened, coughing up a few mouthfuls of blood, and feeling a weak dizziness.
The boy sitting on the ground across from him was silent, his long dirty but straight hair obscuring his eyes. He just stood up silently, picked up the hard steamed buns covered with dirt on the ground, and gently put them into his clothes.
Finally, he walked up to the girl, said nothing, and gently picked her up.
The girl didn't struggle much, she didn't have the strength to struggle. After the fuss just now, the unbearable tingling pain in her chest made her consciousness begin to blur.
After a long time, the girl felt that the boy had been carrying her, and then she asked with difficulty, "Are you ...... Where are you going to take me......"
There was no voice answering.
The girl could not resist the exhaustion of body and mind, and fell into a deep sleep again.
The boy looked down at the girl shivering in his arms, sick and feverish, and her hot, thin body reflected the reddened pretty face.
His name was Lihan, and his ancestors were the rulers of the Sunset City, the people abandoned by the gods. His father gave him this name for the simple purpose of wanting nothing but to leave this cold place one day. Or, with more precise words. It's a luxury.
And the girl in his arms is called Mengdie, his fiancée, who has been engaged by his fathers since childhood.
The dreamer and the divorce are world friends, and her father and the father of the cold are brothers who have shared hardships. The dreamers are also an abandoned people, and they are a family cursed by the gods. None of the women of the clan lived past the age of twenty.
And in Mengdie's generation, she is the only one left in the entire family.
As for why the gods would abandon the people of this sunset city, and even curse the entire Dream Family, this is not something that the two of them can know. But the only thing they know is that the traitors are not people, but gods!
Li Han opened his mouth slightly, as if he wanted to say something, but in the end he sighed. Unconsciously. I have walked through several streets and alleys, and the sunset has completely sunk into the sky, and the torches on both sides of the street emit a gentle light, continuing to shine on the world.
Li Han felt a convulsion in his stomach, and a bitter and foaming acid water poured into his throat. He frowned, swallowed the sour water back into his stomach, and burned his stomach hot.
I didn't eat for ten whole days, and braved the scorching sun to go outside every day in search of food. Sneaking and cheating, rummaging through trash cans. Compete with dogs and cats for food, and even have the courage to beg in the homes of rich people...... Just to get enough food to keep Dream Butterfly alive.
And begging for food at other people's homes...... It's a death-seeking act!
Let's put aside the fact that these rich people are all cannibals and don't spit out bones, and most importantly, the abandoned people are not just a name!
The gods imposed three prohibitions on them: they were not to ask for help from anyone, they were not to marry anyone outside their clan, and they were not allowed to leave the Sunset City.
If these three prohibitions are violated, they will be punished by the gods.
Apparently. These three prohibitions have completely pushed the abandoned people to the brink of extinction. There is no room for manoeuvre!
Although Mengdie's living conditions have been extremely poor since she was a child, her father loves her very much, and she can't bear to tell her many things. Nature. She didn't know these three prohibitions, but she just lied to her and couldn't stand her.
And she didn't know that the so-called self-esteem and backbone in Lihan's mouth had been replaced by moldy steamed buns. For her sake, Lihan doesn't care about everything......
Lihan hugged the sleeping dream butterfly to the intersection of a street, the road was very wide, paved with neat green bricks, and there were magnificent and luxurious houses on both sides.
It's home to some of the wealthiest families in the entire Sunset Capital, and few people come here to disturb these big people, or rather, very few dare.
Li Han came to the door of the first family, gently placed Mengdie next to a stone lion, and then stepped on the stone steps and knocked on the door.
...... The door was opened by two middle-aged men: "Hey, who are you?"
"Under ......"
Before he could reply, a big man said in disgust: "Fuck, beggar? Smelly begging for food, dare to knock on the door of our master? I see, you have fucking eaten bear heart leopard gall!"
Saying that, he rolled up his sleeves and was about to hit someone, but was stopped by another big man, secretly glanced at him insidiously, and then said hey: "Hey, you stinky for food, are you here to beg for food or for money?"
Li Han replied lightly: "If you have money, it is the best, if the two masters are not willing to reward money, it is also good to be able to give a bowl of rice!"
"Yo, this is quite arrogant," the big man smiled with great disdain, and said, "Okay, I'll give you two choices." You can choose to ask for food, or you can choose to ask for money. But one thing has to be done as I say. ”
Li Han nodded and said, "Then can you choose both?"
The big man laughed: "As long as you like it, of course it's no problem!" After speaking, he opened his legs and said, "As long as you get under Grandpa's crotch, I will give you a bowl of food......"
Without waiting for him to finish speaking, Li Han lay on the ground without the slightest hesitation, and then drilled under the big man's crotch, and said in a flat tone: "Okay, let's talk about the second thing." ”
The two big men were stunned, and one of them coughed dryly and said, "Okay, if you want money...... Just kneel, kowtow three times, and call grandpa. ”
This time, he learned smartly, and without waiting for Lihan to make a move, he hurriedly stretched out his hand to stop him: "Hey, don't worry, don't worry! I haven't said who to kowtow to and call grandpa! You little bastard, isn't it insulting to call me grandpa? Your grandfather ...... Hehe, it's supposed to be a brute!"
He dragged out a wolf dog guarding the door from the mansion and said with a strange smile: "Little beast, kneel down and call it grandpa!"
Li Han didn't move, a ripple rippled in his eyes, and he glanced at the stone lion next to him without a trace, and clenched his fists hard. Then open it easily.
Finally, get on your knees.
Kowtow to the wolf dog in front of you.
"Bang, bang, bang!"
Lihan's head was like a jack of a giant hammer, smashed down again and again, and the skin in front of his forehead was opened. Blood flows. His voice trembled slightly: "Master...... Grandpa......"
"Haha! good! good! good call!" The two big men laughed loudly, and there was contempt and ridicule in their eyes, "Sure enough, it's a brute!"
Li Han stood up, his tone was flat, there was no anger or resentment, as if everything was commonplace: "Two big brothers, I have already done what you wanted, can I fulfill my promise?"
The big man laughed and said strangely: "Promise? What promise?" He turned his head to the side and asked the other person, "Did I promise him anything?"
Another big man waved his hand: "No!
The big man holding the dog changed his face and said fiercely: "Did you hear that, little brute?"
Li Han clenched his fists, and finally a trace of anger finally appeared on his face.
"Yo, fuck, still not convinced, fuck you, look for death!"
A big man was furious. Without saying anything, he threw a punch at Lihan's head!
Bang!
How can Lihan's weak body withstand it? The whole person was beaten to the ground!
But the two big men refused to give up, and surrounded them regardless of their identity. In the end, he spit a mouthful of phlegm on Lihan's face, and then put down the cruel words of "Don't let me see you again", kicked him down the steps, returned to the house, and locked the door.
"Ahem...... "Ahem" Lihan spat out two mouthfuls of blood, and his body was full of bruises. Half of the head is dyed red.
He staggered to his feet, blood dripping down his cheeks and soaking through the hem of his shirt.
There was no scolding, and there was no loss of reason. He knows that this is fate, the fate of the weak!
Forced to endure dizziness. Lihan went around to the back of the stone lion, but saw that the dream butterfly had woken up at some point. She covered her small mouth, and as soon as her shocked red and swollen eyes saw Lihan, tears gushed out like a spring!
Li Han was just stunned for a moment, didn't say much, quietly stepped forward, and gently picked up Mengdie.
Mengdie's eyes were staring at Li Han, and her little hands seemed to use all their strength to pull his sleeves, and she couldn't say a word.
Lihan smiled faintly, as warm as a spring breeze, and a bright smile as sunny.
"I'm sorry...... I'm sorry......" Mengdie finally couldn't hold back, buried herself in Lihan's arms, and cried loudly. Tears poured down like a flood without an embankment, and like a monstrous rain!
Lihan's smile was so warm, but it tore her heart apart, and her heart was dripping blood!
She heard it all, she heard it all!
This boy who is not yet a man did not lie to her, even if the whole world lied to her, this boy kept his promise!
For her sake, the boy gave up his last, the only thing he had left, and the only thing he had in this life - dignity!!
Kneel for her, kowtow for her, bleed for her!!
"I'm sorry" In addition to these three words, Mengdie no longer knows what she can say. She just wants to hold on to the boy who holds her in her arms, even if she really dies, she doesn't care!!
Lihan staggered to the door of another house, put down Mengdie and was about to knock on the door.
"No...... No, don't go!" Dream Butterfly grabbed Lihan's sleeve, and in her teary eyes, she begged endlessly.
Li Han gently broke her fingers, still smiling, then turned and walked to the steps, reaching out and knocking on the door......
...... Mengdie didn't know how long she cried, how many tears she shed, and how many times she fainted. I only knew that every time I cried and fainted, when I woke up, there was one more wound on Lihan's body.
A piece of meat was bitten off by a dog on his right leg......
The left arm was broken......
His cheek was swollen......
......
When Li Han struggled to stand up for the last time and picked up Mengdie, she was already crying hoarsely, her throat was hoarse, and she hugged Li Han tightly, repeating in her mouth: "Don't ...... Don't go any further...... Don't ......"
Lihan's whole body was wounded, soaked in blood, and the hand holding Mengdie kept trembling, and his consciousness became blurred.
The cursed will not be rescued by others for the rest of his life. Otherwise, even those who give a helping hand will be punished by the gods in the severest way.
But even if it didn't work, he would let the girl in his arms live, even if it was one more minute or one more second.
Mengdie stretched out her trembling little hand and gently stroked the scars on Lihan's face, and her heart was broken into thousands of petals: "Does it hurt?"
Li Han looked down at Mengdie's eyes, and finally couldn't support it. Leaning against the wall, he slowly slipped down and sat down on the ground.
Mengdie only felt like being devoured by a thousand ants in her heart, and she couldn't breathe in pain: "It hurts, isn't it......?"
Bean-sized tears finally rolled down from Lihan's eyes. He hoarsely voiced, and with the last bit of strength, he hugged Mengdie tightly: "It hurts, it hurts......"
Lihan leaned down, his forehead was close to Mengdie, snot and tears gushed out, crying like a child, "It really hurts! It hurts......
Mengdie also cried as hard as she could, and her tears blended with the tears of Lihan. Mixed with blood, dripping on the floor. She stroked Lihan's head, cried and comforted like a mother: "It doesn't hurt, it doesn't hurt, my good Li'er doesn't hurt......"
The last line of defense in Lihan's heart, the last trace of disguise finally collapsed, and he cried: "I don't want you to die...... No...... Die'er is my fiancée, and I promised my father. I promised Uncle Meng, I promised you...... It's me who is bad. It's useless to leave the child......"
His voice grew weaker and weaker, and the hand holding Mengdie gradually loosened, blurring the things in front of him.
Ten days without a particle, plus all kinds of punches and kicks, injuries and bleeding, the life of the cold is passing rapidly.
"Even if it's death...... I'm going to ...... too. Also accompanied. I'll be with you ......."
Not only was she cold, but Mengdie also slowly fell into a coma. Her body, if it weren't for the food that Lihan exchanged for her life, I'm afraid it would have collapsed long ago. And now, that's how the two are crying. Head to head, feeling the last breath of the other party.
Finally, Mengdie's body lost the last trace of coldness, and her eyes also lost the last bit of light in the cloud.
Blank, empty, hopeless, dead.
"Die'er, you won't wait too long, I'll come now...... Come and ...... now."
However, just when the last bit of life force in Lihan's body was about to be shattered. A powerful and incomparable breath of life burst out from his body without warning!
The wounded body began to repair, the gradual blood flow began to recover, but the things in front of him seemed to become more dark and desperate than ever!
"No! no, no—" Li Han roared heartbreakingly, blood and tears pouring out of his scarlet eyes like an unstoppable flood.
Mengdie is dead, but he's not dead?!
Why? Why is this happening?!
"No! I won't let you go alone!
Lihan knelt on the ground and frantically slammed his head against the stone slab on the ground.
Bang!bang......
There was a moving crash, the rubble exploded, and the plasma flew.
Tears, snot, blood, broken bones, brains, ...... All the red and white dirt mixed with dust and dripping all over the ground!
However, no matter how hard Li Han hurt himself, no matter how hard he smashed his head, that abominable breath of life could seal his wounds as quickly as possible!
"No, no, no......"
The boy roared with all the strength of his body, and even broke his vocal cords, but the breath of life still repaired every damage in his body, except for his soul.
The huge movement made all the rich families on both sides open the doors and poke their heads out, and shouted angrily in disgusted and disgusted voices: "Fuck you! Why are you still a little beggar?! You want to die somewhere else! Take that filthy girl, roll as far as you can, filthy corpse, even if you take it to feed the dogs, it will be dirty!"
Anger, resentment, madness...... All the negative emotions in heaven and earth are growing wildly in the young man's heart! He hates the world to the core! He hates all the feelings in the world!
He didn't want to be in such pain!
Endless killing, the only thing he wants to do right now!
"Dead ...... Die...... Die! Die to me!" Lihan's eyes widened, the traces of blood and tears crisscrossed his face, and the insensitive, crazy eyes no longer symbolized a human being, but a complete devil!
Rumble!
The blood-red aura turned into a sky-high giant pillar, pouring out of Lihan's body in an instant!
The fear of death is like a big hand that covers the sky, and it hangs down towards the sunset city!
Puff -
The organs of the people who were touched by the blood-colored aura exploded one after another!
All of a sudden, the whole city was in a panic, and people wanted to flee, but there was nowhere to escape under the all-pervasive blood-colored aura!
Screams, wails, weepings, begs for mercy......
The capital of the sunset has finally become a real dead city!
And above the sky of this city, a gray-robed old man stood in the void, not affected by the blood light in the slightest, but grinned: "All the pain of the curse has been endured, and then, wake up completely! Great Divine Lord!" (To be continued......
