Chapter Twenty-Three: The Star Array
In the city, looking at the bustling crowd, Chenxi sighed infinitely, in this world, there are too many ordinary people, they don't care about the level of force, they don't want to fight for success and defeat, and they don't pursue longevity or even eternal life, they only look at their own acres and threes of land, only care about their own food and clothing and their families, and only pay attention to tomorrow's work and drinking jokes between friends, because ordinary people's lives should be like this
What family, what dragon warriors, as long as it does not threaten their own lives, it has nothing to do with them, coldly watching others suffer is a pitiful and pathetic joy in their ordinary life, anyway, it will not harm themselves, then hurry up to see the excitement, in Chenxi's opinion, this kind of practice is understandable, because group blindness is sometimes really a terrible thing, and no one can guarantee that they will not do that
Just like the scene seen by Chenxi now, gray and helpless, "Dad, don't gamble anymore, Mom still urgently needs money to buy medicine, these are what I have earned from my part-time job for a month, and I really can't be squandered!" A wheat-colored, knee-length black hair was obviously carefully taken care of by the owner, and her red-eyed eyes showed sadness and sorrow, and tears wet her badly faded long dress
On the delicate little face, I couldn't tell whether it was tears or sweat, "If you don't filial piety daughter, your son will be beaten to death, and I still think about that woman, lying on the bed, how much money has been wasted!" The man scolded and struggled, trying to get rid of his daughter's hand that grabbed him, and he held a small bag in his hand
A circle of people surrounded the two, pointing at the father and daughter, some gloating, some pointing and commenting, Chenxi learned from the gossip of others that the father and daughter were also famous in this place, that the man used to be a capable person, once ambitious and ready to work hard to make a world, at that time he was heroic, just in the progress of the smooth progress, seeing that the success was in time, but was betrayed by the person who cooperated, lost everything, and his wife was also framed, and he couldn't afford to be sick
Since then, the man has been drinking all day long, completely losing his enterprising spirit, not only is he idle, fooling around with people all day long, but also obsessed with gambling, in order to pay off debts, borrowing money everywhere, even his own daughter's money is not spared, and he does not care about his wife's life and death, as if there has never been such a person, over the years, how many times such a scene has been staged, no one can count, it has always been the daughter who is desperately trying to maintain this fragile home
"If you don't let go, I'll expel you from the house!" The man saw that the people were getting more and more around, and he was also anxious, and yelled, "Dad, I, I'll just let go, you don't want me, you don't want me, Dad, I will be obedient, Dad, Dad, Dad" The girl whimpered and let go, sat on the ground and cried, begging her father not to leave her
Seeing this, the man also turned a blind eye, pushed aside the crowd, and strode away without looking back, leaving only his daughter to cry in the same place, "Alas, pity this daughter, with such an irresponsible father, no matter how diligent it is", a middle-aged man in the crowd said
"Although it is not, my daughter is very beautiful, but my father is like this, I remember the day before yesterday she went to work in my aunt's and nephew's shop," another middle-aged man began
"Well, I know, she also went to work with me, I think she is pitiful, and she paid some more money, but unfortunately she was taken away by her father before she could cover her heat," another middle-aged man sighed
"It's a pity, she is beautiful, but no one dares to marry her, but I heard that a disciple of a family has taken a fancy to her and wants to take her away," a young man said
"You have also heard? It is said that the son of the Wang family has taken a fancy to her, and has already signed a marriage contract with her father," said another young man
"It's also pitiful, she can't even control her own fate, I heard that the Wang family gave her father a lot of money."
"I guess it's just for fun, no one will take it seriously, what a pity for a girl"
Everyone saw that the matter was over, there was no good show to watch, they discussed for a while, and they dispersed, no one wanted to help the girl, after all, more things are better than less things, Chenxi stopped and watched for a while, raised his feet and walked a few steps out, sighed, turned back again, stretched out his hand and prepared to pull the girl, Chenxi's conscience did not allow Chenxi to leave like this, even if he knew that this might bring trouble to himself
"Are you still standing up?" Dawn asked softly, the girl shook her head, "Then I'll carry you, you're ready" After speaking, Dawn squatted down in front of the girl, waiting for the girl to choose, and soon, Dawn felt a sense of pressure on her back, and the girl was surprised to be very light, but after thinking about it, no one can get heavier after being at home, and it is the limit to survive
Chenxi didn't ask the girl where she went, she took the girl directly to the restaurant, and ordered a bowl of nutritious porridge for the girl, as well as some vegetables, he could see that the girl had been malnourished for a long time, so Chenxi only ordered some lighter ones, the girl hesitated for a moment, looked at the food quietly, Chenxi guessed what she was thinking, "Don't worry, I lent you these things, you can find a chance to return them to me in the future."
Judging from the girl's table manners, the girl has a good quality and has a rich life, and the children of the average poor family will not have such a performance, Chenxi does not speak, the girl just takes a small sip of porridge quietly, the atmosphere is unusually quiet, Chenxi frowned, the performance around is too strange, not at all like the performance that a big hotel should have, so he carefully observed the surroundings
"Interesting, someone would actually use this kind of spatial isolation method, that friend, don't come out to see each other, don't blame Chenxi for not being considerate", Chenxi picked up a stone and threw it out casually
"Little guy, you are very discerning, you can actually see my technique, no one can find me in the past" An old man's figure appeared on the empty seat next to the table, which was the place where Chenxi hit, "Well, your technique is very useful to ordinary people, even those who summon dragons, but unfortunately, using the Tianxing Stone to form a dragon and snake formation according to the designated position is wonderful but stupid", Chenxi said lightly as he sipped his tea
"Oh, it's very interesting, can you explain it in detail?", the old man shook his wine glass and said casually, "Well, that's the case, although this formation is just a clever use of the mysteries of the starry sky to guide the excitation, but this formation has a fatal flaw, the tea is really fragrant", Chenxi sighed while savoring it
