Coldwind is an ancient city, so old that no one knows when it was built. There is such a passage recorded in the history books: "When the ancestors went north, they saw the sea, the name Beihai, the big city, and the cold wind." "The ancient mottled city walls are full of traces left by the years, faintly revealing a breath of ancient desolation.

In a remote corner of Cold Wind City, Wang Erniu, Li Shan, and Zhang Wenxian stood there anxiously waiting. This is the place they have agreed on a long time ago, and as long as they escape, everyone will finally gather here.

Li Shan said a little anxiously: "Why hasn't Changsheng come over yet, he usually has quick legs and feet, and he is a thief who runs fast, every time he waits for us, now that it has been so long, he won't let those grandsons catch up, right?"

Wang Erniu said directly: "Why don't we go back, Changsheng's body has been weak since he was a child, and he will suffer a big loss if he is caught up." He's not as rough as I am. ”

Zhang Wenxian continued: "Wait a minute, Changsheng is smarter than anyone else, they are not so easy to catch him." I really can't wait, let's go back together, it's a big deal to be beaten. ”

Docks, fish markets, garbage hills. Zhou Changsheng, who was covered in blood, fell to the ground and couldn't stop convulsing, and after a few breaths, he stopped moving. The few people standing next to the little fat man were all frightened, they thought that the fat man just wanted to scare and scare this kid, and no one thought of killing people. The little fat man squatted down and touched Zhou Changsheng's nose with his hand, and found that there was no breath at all, knowing that Zhou Changsheng had died of anger. Then he said viciously to the children next to him: "No one is allowed to say what happened here today, you all know that my father loves me the most, and you also know that my family is the same in the whole business house." If you let me know who accidentally said it, you guys wouldn't be able to think about it. Besides, it's just a dead scumbag, what's there to be afraid of. Anyway, in the evening we all got out of here by boat. ”

After speaking, several people dug a pit in the garbage mountain and buried Zhou Changsheng in it. I went to the beach again to wash my hands and the blood stains on my body, and left with a swagger.

Zhou Changsheng's blood flowed down the crevices of the garbage, and finally dripped onto a piece of iron the size of a fingernail. I saw that the broken iron slowly sucked the blood in, and it flashed with a faint light. Then, the piece of iron slowly floated up and flew around, looking extremely spiritual. Immediately after that, the surrounding blood seemed to be attracted by something, turning into blood threads and converging towards the iron piece. After a while, all the blood around Zhou Changsheng was sucked clean by this piece of broken iron, but this piece of iron didn't seem to be satisfied, and floated to Zhou Changsheng's chest, where a sharp dagger was inserted. The piece of iron obviously didn't want the dagger to plug the wound, so it floated to the dagger's gauntlet and pulled the dagger out against the gauntlet.

The blood in Zhou Changsheng's body seemed to have found a gap and poured out, Tie Piece was very happy, and sucked the blood that flowed out, until finally there was no blood flowing out of Zhou Changsheng's chest. At this time, Zhou Changsheng's cheeks were sunken, his face was pale, and his whole person seemed to have lost a lot of weight, obviously the blood in his whole body had been exhausted. It's just that this piece of iron is still not satisfied, first touched the wound on Zhou Changsheng's chest, like an ignorant child, I don't understand why the wound that was still bleeding just now, why it didn't bleed? The ghost light on the iron piece flashed and flickered, first slowly approaching Zhou Changsheng's chest, then revolving around Zhou Changsheng, and finally landing on Zhou Changsheng's nostrils. At this time, the iron piece flashed violently, as if he understood something, and finally reluctantly moved to Zhou Changsheng's chest and drilled through the wound.

At this time, Zhou Changsheng's chest flashed with a faint light, and then this light spread all over his body, and then Zhou Changsheng floated up, squeezing away the garbage on his body little by little, and got out of the garbage mountain. At this time, the light in his chest flickered more and more slowly, and finally disappeared. A dagger hung from his tattered clothes.

Previously, Zhou Changsheng saw the dagger stabbing into his chest, first with a tingling pain, and then his eyes went black, and he seemed to have fallen into the boundless darkness. The memories of his life flew in front of him like a marquee, he went to the school to study and was punished by his husband with a ring ruler, flew a kite but accidentally hung it on a tree, played a prank on the face of his classmates and painted a kitten, waiting for his mother to make food for himself, riding a horse on his father's neck, suddenly the picture turned, he was lying naked in the ice and snow and was very cold, many people were chasing and killing themselves, many people died in order to protect themselves, and then the picture became faster and faster, more and more blurred, I don't know how long it took, I seemed to hear someone call my name, I couldn't hear clearly, I was tired, cold and hungry and wanted to sleep, and then the sound became louder and louder。

Li Shan and the three of them couldn't wait for Zhou Changsheng, so they turned around and returned to the garbage mountain. It's just that it's approaching evening, and the afterglow of the setting sun stretches the shadows of the three of them into a long line. At this time, there was no one in the garbage mountain, except for the whirring north wind and the howling waves. The three of them scattered, shouting Zhou Changsheng's name. Li Shan looked at the garbage mountain, as if something flashed, and as soon as he climbed up, he found Zhou Changsheng lying on it. Then he shouted: "Found it, found it, Changsheng is here! Changsheng is here! This guy still has the leisure to sleep here!"

Zhou Changsheng opened his eyes vigorously and found that Wang Erniu, Li Shan, and Zhang Wenxian were looking at him curiously.

Zhang Wenxian opened his mouth and said, "You two take a closer look, do you find that this guy seems to have turned white?"

Li Shan continued: "It seems that you have lost weight again?"

Wang Erniu followed and said, "It seems to have become more girly?"

Then the three of them laughed together. But seeing Changsheng's gloomy face, laughter burst out.

Zhou Changsheng stood up and carefully examined his chest, but found no wounds. But there was a hole in the clothes, and there was a dagger with exquisite workmanship and sharp next to it. Changsheng picked up the dagger and asked the three of them, if they saw the little fat man when they came. The three of them heard that Changsheng's tone was not good, so they only said that they didn't see it, and asked Changsheng what happened, but Changsheng just didn't speak. The four of them made their way back to the city in silence. Zhou Changsheng walked towards the house alone, and without even saying hello, he left the three of them on the street. Wang Erniu, Li Shan, Zhang Wenxian, you look at me, I look at you, a little inexplicable, so I have to go home separately.

When Zhou Changsheng returned home, he first lied, saying that his clothes were accidentally scratched, and then he ate in a hurry and locked himself in the house.

Zhou Changsheng took out the dagger, looked at the blade, and suddenly felt cold all over his body. The dagger is extremely delicate, and the handle is supplemented by fine moire throughout the handle, extending to the gauntlet, and then carved into thin dragon scales, which is seamlessly integrated with the gauntlet carved into the dragon's head. Looking at the light, the blade reflected layers of patterns, which were obviously forged after thousands of tempers. On one side of the gauntlet of the knife body is engraved two small seals - Qinglong, and on the other side is a small Deng character. Zhou Changsheng thought to himself, could it be that little fat man's surname is Deng?

This really made Zhou Changsheng guess. The little fat man's surname is Deng, his name is rich, and he obtains it because he is rich and spiritual. Their family has been in business for generations, and today they have become famous wealthy businessmen in Jiangnan. His father Deng Laiqian, also known as Deng Laohu, was ruthless and vicious, did not leave a way back, and was famous for eating meat and not spitting out bones. relied on his black hands to control most of the waterways in the south. Dragons give birth to dragons, phoenixes give birth to phoenixes, and rat sons make holes. Deng Youqian was obviously influenced by his father, but he was ruthless and decisive at a young age.

Zhou Changsheng remembered the arrogant face of the little fat man, and directly picked up the Qinglong dagger and stabbed it fiercely at the table, stabbing more than a dozen times in succession before stopping. He secretly said in his heart: "Deng Xiaofat, you wait, one day I will find you and settle this account." ”

The little fat man and his party returned to a cargo ship and dispersed. Deng Youqian had his own concerns, and after a hasty meal, he returned to the cabin, only to realize that his dagger had fallen. Deng Youqian didn't care too much, it was just a dagger, and the cargo ship was about to set sail out of here in a while, so I would go back and buy one from my father.

In a short time, one cargo ship after another pulled up its mainsails, loosened its cables, and slowly disappeared into the night.

At night, many people had fallen asleep, but Zhou Changsheng was still sleepless. This inexplicable near-death made Zhou Changsheng grow up in an instant.

For the first time, he felt the fear of death, the joy of life, and the taste of life.

For the first time, he discovered the importance of family affection,

The pressure of death should not have been prematurely placed on a ten-year-old child. However, the world is impermanent, and life is always so cruel. Zhou Changsheng has never been so sober and knows what he wants most.

He doesn't want to die, he wants to live, live a long time, he wants to live forever.
