Chapter Seventy-Eight: The Past
On a certain year, month, and day, in a dilapidated house.
"Sister, I'm so hungry!" Xiao Lin Xiuran shrank in the arms of Lin Zixian, who was also young, and looked at his sister pitifully.
"Ah Ran, don't worry, my sister still has something to eat. ”
Lin Zixian touched her cooing belly and took out a dry steamed bun from her pocket.
"Ahh
"Because my sister is not hungry, come, eat. Lin Zixian touched his head.
"Oh. Lin Xiuran took the steamed bun, and just about to put it in his mouth, he used his hand to divide it in half.
"Let's eat together~"
Lin Zixian kissed him, happily, and happily took half of the steamed buns.
I took a bite of the steamed bun and put it in my mouth, and it became sweet after a while, until it was so rotten that Lin Xiuran was willing to eat it.
Little he knew that this might be their only food, and he had to savor it.
Reluctantly finished eating the steamed bun, Lin Zixian pulled Lin Xiuran and walked out of the house.
"Sister, where are we going?" Lin Xiuran looked up at Lin Zixian, who was a head taller than him.
"Go find some work. Lin Zixian leaned over slightly and said in a harmonious voice.
"Oh~" Lin Xiuran understood, working = getting money = being able to buy delicious food.
After walking around the street for a long time, people either didn't want them or had bad intentions, and the day passed like this.
The bone-chilling wind blew in front of him, and the whirring voice seemed to mock the pitiful appearance of the two.
Lin Xiuran couldn't help but shake his body, hugged his hands with each other, and looked a little listless, this was from hunger.
"Ah Ran, wear this. Lin Zixian handed her the dirty padded jacket she picked up from the road.
"I don't~ I want to wear this!" Lin Xiuran shook his head and pointed to the little blue sweater that Lin Zixian was wearing.
This sweater was bought by my aunt for Lin Zixian two years ago, and now it is a little shorter, and some places are not covered, revealing her white and tender skin.
Lin Xiuran was very sensible, he knew that Lin Zixian was for his good, but he didn't want her to be cold.
The padded jacket she picked up was thicker and bigger, enough for her to wear, Lin Zixian took it with tears in her eyes, her body was much warmer, and even her heart was warm.
"Sister, I want to eat. Lin Xiuran grabbed the corner of her clothes and pointed to her stomach.
"Hmm~ let's go buy some delicious food. Lin Zixian clutched the three pieces of five that he had begged in his hand.
Unlike Lin Xiuran, who is ignorant, she doesn't know what she can buy with this money, if it is in the morning, she can still buy three steamed buns, it is already evening now, many shops and restaurants are closed, and the prices of those that are not closed are too expensive.
Lin Zixian was very worried about whether they would starve to death on the streets one day, she smiled bitterly, she couldn't see the future at all, what should I do, I don't have anything, but my brother ......
On one wall was a banner that read: "Build a harmonious, beautiful and warm society, with kindness, and help others".
"Go, go, go, where is the little brat! Don't stay in Lao Tzu's territory, get out of the way!" a scruffy man dressed in tattered clothes and covered in a stinking body sprang out of the corner.
This is a beggar, who is looking at Erlin angrily at this time, these two little things are young and good-looking, pretending to be a beggar will definitely rob him of the money he deserves, this is not good.
The two children looked at him with fear, and some did not understand how this beggar was different from the pitiful-looking beggars before.
"Huh?!"
When the beggar man saw the money in Lin Zixian's hand, his eyes lit up, and he rushed up and pushed Lin Zixian down, and snatched her money violently with his big hand.
Lin Zixian was in pain, her eyes flashed with tears, and she bit her lip tightly, but she couldn't bear it.
"Hurry up!" the beggar man waved a few thick branches more than a meter long in his hand as a sign of intimidation.
The two of them didn't hesitate, they spread their feet and ran, this person was too bad, they couldn't beat him.
At this time, the banner on the wall that reads "Build a harmonious, beautiful and warm society, be kind and help others" moves with the wind.
It took a few minutes of running before they stopped out of breath.
"Sister, we have no money, what should we do?" Lin Xiuran didn't realize until today that this world could be so annoying.
The scene nearby has changed greatly, high-rise buildings stand on this land, Lin Xiuran gasped, looked around, the magnificent and beautiful buildings exuded an icy smell, and even a few rays of sunlight at dusk were a little cold.
"Let my sister think about it. Lin Zixian hugged Lin Xiuran and patted him on the back.
Lin Zixian's smart eyes observed the surroundings, and suddenly, she saw a garbage can.
"Ah Ran, let's go see what we can eat there, shall we?"
"Ah?!" Lin Xiuran's face fell.
There's no way around it, otherwise they don't want to do this kind of thing.
There's a black dog picking up garbage there, so it must have something to eat, otherwise it wouldn't be like this.
Lin Xiuran picked up a stone, "Hey!"
The black dog raised his head violently, grinning at his white teeth, and roared in a low voice.
Lin Xiuran stepped forward, raised his hand, and was about to throw out the stone.
"Whew!" the black dog barked, turned and fled. According to its understanding, this creature that can stand upright is very powerful, and it can't be provoked, so it slipped.
The two stepped forward, approached the garbage can, and a foul smell hit the nose, and a swarm of flies were buzzing and flying, which made people feel upset when they heard it.
After digging for a while, they found a few bites of bread in a plastic bag, which was clean and edible.
No longer hesitate, two people and half of them, happy ears.
A woman passing by saw them, looked at them with disgust, spat out unpleasant words, and went away.
"Who's child, it's really pitiful. Why did you sleep here?" I don't know when, Erlin, who was so tired that he fell asleep directly next to the trash can, heard this.
Then I felt my body being picked up.
Lin Xiuran opened her eyes and was an old lady with a wrinkled face.
The old lady woke up with both children and said kindly, "Are you homeless?"
Lin Zixian looked at her eyes, didn't see malice in them, didn't struggle, and said, "Yes." ”
"In this way, it just so happens that this old woman of mine has no children, no daughters and no grandchildren, so how about letting me be your grandmother?"
Lin Xiuran raised his hand: "Then can we have something to eat?"
Lin Zixian glanced at him with disgust, how could they talk like this if they were kind enough to take them in? ”
Lin Xiuran shrank his head: "Oh." ”
"Yes, you can eat enough every day, do you want to go with grandma?"
"Follow you. Lin Zixian said in a milky voice.
Seeing that her sister agreed, Lin Xiuran also chose to agree.
The old lady smiled, and the wrinkles on her face were piled up like a blooming chrysanthemum.
From then on, they lived with the old lady for five years, after which the old lady died, leaving her house and shop to them.
......
Lin Xiuran shook his head, remembering that he used to sleep and was clamoring for Lin Zixian to sing or tell him stories before he was willing to go to bed, he laughed a little and stopped thinking about those past events.
Lin Xiuran bought some food, gave it to the man and woman, and gave them some money by the way. Of course, it's just a small amount of money, and too much of it will only bring disaster to them.
"Thank you!" the little girl said in a glutinous voice and bowed to Erlin.
Sometimes, it is not necessarily because of sympathy, but because the giver happens to resonate with the giver.
The same result can be caused by different causes, and conversely, a cause can be caused by different external factors.
It's really like them back then, Lin Zixian reached out and touched their heads, smiled, and followed Lin Xiuran to leave quickly.
......
"This is it. Lin Xiuran stopped in front of a hotel.
According to the [detector], Yang Wanpeng is still here. ’
Once inside, they went straight to the third floor.
'Oh no!' His position is changing rapidly!'
This shows that someone here has reported to Yang Wanpeng or was photographed by the camera.
Although this thing was strictly restricted from circulating in the market by the imperial court, it was not surprising that it could not have a large market, and it was not surprising that others had it.
But these are not important, the important thing is to catch up with Yang Wanpeng as soon as possible, Lin Xiuran believes that as long as this guy is killed, there will definitely be another large wave of task progress, and he can even complete the task directly.
"Smack!"
Lin Xiuran's feet were empty and fell down.
Although the incident happened suddenly, he did not hurry, grabbed the edge of the plank with his left hand, and jumped on it.
"Bang Bang Bang ......"
"Qiang Qiang ......"
More than a dozen sharp blades came out of the adjacent room.
Just now, the two of them had already discovered that something was wrong with this hotel, because there were more than a dozen orange-level masters and dozens of red-level masters hidden here, of which there were three mid-orange levels, and the rest were all in the early stage of the orange level, and of course, there was also Yang Wanpeng, who was slightly injured in the late orange level.
Lin Zixian had already notified the nearby troops to come over before.
"Dingding......
"Bang!"
"Zheng!"
Lin Zixian leaned forward and slashed forward, temporarily relieving the crisis, and she herself took a few steps back.
Lin Xiuran spread his legs wide and kicked over the nearest enemy, and Lin Zixian took advantage of the situation to slash him.
"Woo Woo ......"
More than a dozen arrows are coming!
Lin Xiuran rolled away on the spot.
"Snatch ......"
Because of the timely dodge, the arrows hit the path that Lin Xiuran passed through in turn, shooting in a neat row, and the tail of the arrow trembled non-stop.
This time it's really dangerous, there are a lot of murderous opportunities around, and a large number of enemies are eyeing you in the dark, so if you don't do it, you will stay here forever.
"Dangdang!"
A mace smashed into the Soul Eater, and then slid to the side due to the inertia of great force.
"Dada!"
Lin Zixian took two steps forward, wanting to kill this big man who had exposed his flaws.
"Huhu
Three swords and two swords attacked from five directions, forcing her to give up her original idea.
Spin Slash!
"Ding, ding, ding!"
Soul Eater was divided at the touch of a button, and since there were a few attackers, the strength of the defense was dispersed, and the slashed blade was only blocked.
Lin Zixian jumped up slightly, and stepped on the front of these weapons that had already hit one point.
"Step!"
Lin Zixian pressed her left foot violently, but was pushed up by everyone, this was to reduce her borrowing points.
"Hey!"
These people also know that they can't do Erlin alone, so many people have come out, and if they can beat the enemy in a group, they will never be one-on-one with you, and the kind of plot of sending subordinates to level up or one-on-one for the enemy is extremely rare in reality.
Many times the battle is not equal in combat power, after all, the combat power is almost a fart, isn't that an opportunity for others to take advantage?
"Whoosh!"
A black spear stabbed from behind her, and if Lin Zixian didn't have a way to deal with it, he would be able to poke a big hole in her body the next moment.
Lin Zixian naturally felt the danger from the rear, but she didn't panic, she knew that panic would only make things worse.
Lin Zixian flipped his left hand, and a small flying knife had already broken through the air.
[Host No. 2's perception of the hidden weapon has been further improved, and the level of the hidden weapon is now Lv9.] 】
At the moment of life and death, Lin Zixian's hidden weapon level was improved, and battle was indeed the best way to improve his strength.
The spear offensive was thwarted and turned to the side.
"Stack Kill!"
"Dangdang, dang!"
At the peak of the mid-Orange Rank, their [Stacked Kill] normal state was already able to slash four times in a row, and their power was even higher.
"Poof!"
One person was killed by Lin Xiuran, Lin Zixian took the opportunity to jump over, and the two were back to back.
Surrounded by the backbone of the rebel army with fierce eyes, Lin Xiuran and the two of them were expressionless, looking for a flaw to rush out, and the purpose of coming here was not to fight with these people.
However, now that Yang Wanpeng is already some distance away from them, I am afraid that I will not be able to kill him today.
