Chapter Eighty-Four: Named Memories, A Wolf and Xiaoyan
(Whether it's snow in winter or hot summer, that small grass house is the best place in the world - the four generals of Skynet - Fire Qilin Emperor Yan)
............
I also forgot how many years ago, it was a cold winter.
In a small town in the northwest, the snow covers the whole town, there are no pedestrians on the streets, and one of the alleys at the very edge of the town is dim, except for filthy garbage and foul-smelling gutters, and a few rats running around from time to time.
In the corner of the alley, a five- or six-year-old dark-skinned child with a mouth full of oil eating meat buns without being affected by the surrounding environment and stench, and next to him was a thirteen or fourteen-year-old red-haired boy, the red-haired boy looked at him and swallowed his saliva and said proudly, "It's delicious, wolf, this is what I stole from the restaurant, it's much better than the ones I stole from the roadside stalls."
"Uh-huh, good~ eat!" Ah Wolf said with a mouth full of meat buns.
"Don't you eat it, Xiaoyan," Ah Wolf swallowed the bun and looked at the red-haired boy and asked.
"Don't eat it, I've already eaten it" The young man stared at the meat bun with a clear desire to eat, but he still couldn't help it when he saw the wolf's satisfied expression.
"Boss, this stinky boy is there!!" At this time, a group of people ran to the mouth of the alley, with sticks in their hands.
"Redhead, come and steal us again, you can't run this time"
"Run, wolf!"
The red-haired boy named Yan pulled up Ah Wolf and got up calmly and got out directly from the dog hole next to him, it seems that they are used to such things.
......
Soon after, when it was dark, the older and the younger returned to a small mountain village outside the city, where there was a dilapidated thatched hut at the far west end of the village, where a gray-haired old woman was cooking something.
"Grandma, we're back" Ah Wolf said, still holding the meat buns that had been cold in his hand, "Grandma, Xiao Yan helped others work today and changed several meat buns"
The old woman turned her head with a smile on her face, "Okay, good, Xiaoyan is the most sensible, grandma's porridge will be drunk while it's hot."
"Grandma, where did you get the porridge?" asked Ah Wolf as he looked at the hot air coming out of the pot.
The old woman sat down on a stool next to her and began to continue knitting straw sandals, "Yesterday, I used the hare that Xiaoyan brought back from the mountain to exchange rice with Mrs. Liu's family in the village."
"Since Xiao Yan came to our house, but there is no shortage of food, Xiao Yan's strength is so big that ordinary beasts can't provoke him, and I don't know how Xiao Yan grows" The old woman began to think about it again, probably because she was old.
While grandma was talking, one big and one small ran out again.
Lying on the grass, the sky was full of stars, Ah Wolf reached out and touched Xiao Yan and said, "Xiao Yan, why are you so good to me?"
"Nonsense, I'm your brother" Xiao Yan replied with a natural expression.
Ah Wolf didn't speak, just glanced at him, Xiao Yan flicked a finger on his forehead, "What kind of expression do you have, I watched you grow up, little brat"
"Have you seen my father?" Ah Wolf asked suddenly.
After asking this sentence, Xiao Yan on the side was silent for a moment and then said, "No, a few years ago, I was picked up by my grandmother because I was hungry and brought back here, and at that time there were only two people here, you and grandma."
"Does Xiao Yan still know where his home is? Xiao Yan must have a father, right?" asked Ah Wolf as he continued.
Xiao Yan looked at the sky expressionlessly, "No, I don't have a home, I don't have a father"
Saying that, Xiaoyan looked back at Ah Wolf, and then suddenly smiled, "But I have a home now, with you and grandma"
"Mmmm, does Xiao Yan still go to practice at night?"
"I'm not going, I'm tired!"
"Okay, so when will you become a hero?"
"When I grow up a little more, I will be more powerful"
"Then you don't go to practice, how can you be a hero?"
"You're so annoying!!"
Under the night sky, while arguing, the two little boys slowly fell asleep......
The next day, the two of them went to the town again, because Ah Wolf wanted to eat meat buns.
"Run, wolf" Xiao Yan ran out of the restaurant, holding a meat bun in his hand, and he was followed by more than a dozen burly men, who looked like thugs with two hits.
"Bang!!" a big man kicked Xiao Yan to the ground, and the meat buns were scattered all over the ground.
"Stinky boy, dare to come!" A handyman from the restaurant pointed to Xiao Yan on the ground and said, "Beat me to death, the boss said that he was ...... if something happened."
"Bang!!" "Bang!" Heavy fists kept falling on Xiao Yan's face.
"Stop fighting! we don't want buns!" the wolf ran towards him.
All the passers-by stopped and looked here, but no one helped stop them, because no one would offend a restaurant owner because of two tattered children, this is the reality!
"Bang!" a big man grabbed Ah Wolf and punched him directly in the stomach.
"Stop, stop me!!"
"Bang!!" "Bang!" punched the wolf several times in a row.
"Stinky boy, I'll kill you" The big man raised his fist and was about to punch Ah Wolf again, Ah Wolf's face was already pale, after all, he was not born with a good physique like Xiao Yan, and he would definitely not be able to withstand a few punches from this big man.
"Stop me!!"
"Hum!" With Xiao Yan's roar, a red energy spread out from Xiao Yan's body, and several big men instantly lay on the ground with empty eyes, and even the pedestrians who were talking around them all fell to the ground, and the street fell silent in an instant.
"Bang!" "Bang!"
"Ah Wolf, are you okay?" Although Xiao Yan didn't know what was going on, he still ran to Ah Wolf's side and hugged him as soon as possible.
Ah Wolf frowned, his face pale, "It hurts!"
"It's okay, it's okay!" Xiao Yan kept rubbing his chest for Ah Wolf, "Let's go home, I'll fry you pheasants ......to eat when I go home."
......
At the corner of the street, a middle-aged man looked at Xiao Yan in front of him, and his eyes also revealed shock, "It's actually the emperor's qi, this kid actually has the emperor's qi!!"
"But Lord Gong, the emperor's qi is born in a person who has the assets of an emperor, how can an ordinary boy in this town have it?" The man in black cloak behind Lord Gong also said in disbelief.
"Ghost general, don't judge anyone at will" Gong Daren smiled and said, "That partner of mine back then, I was also very disdainful when we met for the first time"
The ghost general shook his head helplessly, "How can this little ghost be compared to that adult, that adult is a man who once ranked among the three gods alongside you and the eldest princess!"
"Mikami, it's a name that I miss me"
Master Gong smiled, then walked towards Xiao Yan step by step, took out a pill from his arms, "Give him this, you can make him get better immediately!"
"Why should I believe you?" Although Xiao Yan was worried about a wolf, a trace of defensiveness and calmness flashed in his eyes.
Lord Gong smiled, "You can't beat me, I think you will go to such a great length?"
Although Xiao Yan was only thirteen or fourteen years old, he had a thinking that his peers did not have, he just hesitated for a moment and took the pill from the hands of the palace master and fed it to Ah Wolf.
"Hum!!" The white light enveloped the wolf, and the next moment the wolf's injuries were all healed, and his eyes slowly opened.
"Ah wolf, are you okay?" Xiao Yan said with a happy face.
Ah Wolf stood up from Xiao Yan's arms and looked at the ground, his eyes were a little flustered: "What's wrong with these people? You killed someone, Xiao Yan!"
"Let's run!"
Xiao Yan also reacted, a trace of panic flashed in his eyes, but he controlled it well.
"Don't worry, they just fainted"
Master Gong looked at Xiao Yan and said very seriously: "Do you want to become stronger, let your name resound in heaven!"
Xiao Yan looked up at Lord Gong fiercely, it was a kind of look that a wolf had never seen, that kind of look was called ambition.
"I like your eyes, I can make you stronger, power, status, money, you will have it" Gong Daren showed a wicked smile on his face, "Come with me, how about becoming my right-hand man?"
Xiao Yan stared at Master Gong and asked, "Although I don't know who you are, why do you think I can be your right-hand man?"
"Because your talent, your potential, it's too wasteful to stay here, all you lack is someone to teach you how to use" Gongsama took a step forward and stretched out his hand to him, "And I, it just so happens to be that person"
Xiao Yan bowed to Gong Weiyang and said, "Thank you, but I still have my grandmother and younger brother to take care of, and I can't leave yet."
Saying that, Xiao Yan took Ah Wolf's hand and turned around to leave.
"I can give you a lot of silver to settle your grandmother and brother, you can come back at any time after you leave with me, it's just to cultivate with me, as long as you are strong enough in this world, anything can be solved very easily, and when you stand at the top, your grandmother and brother will live better, isn't it?"
Gong Daren said unhurriedly, his face was a confident smile, he liked that look, and the man with that look would not leave like this.
Sure enough, Xiao Yan stopped, and he turned his head to look at Master Gong, with a smile on his face......
......
"It's good to live here, grandma really doesn't want to move into town," grandma said in a trembling tone on crutches.
She glanced at Xiao Yan and smiled kindly, "Xiao Yan can go if you want to cultivate, grandma is waiting for you to come back at home."
"Grandma, this silver was given by Lord Gong, just leave it, Ah Wolf likes to eat meat buns" Xiao Yan pointed to the silver on the table and said.
Grandma thought about it and nodded, "Okay, grandma will accept it and keep it for Ah Wolf and Xiaoyan to beg for a daughter-in-law in the future."
The old man always thinks about the child, and the grandmother touched Xiaoyan's head, "You have to be obedient when you go out, it's your blessing to have a big man willing to teach you"
"Grandma, don't worry, Master Gong is not a bad person, he saved me and a wolf" Xiao Yan said something to reassure the old man.
The old man nodded, then waved his hand, "Go, go~"
......
"Xiao Yan, will you come back often?" Ah Wolf shouted as he looked at Xiao Yan's back.
Xiao Yan carried his bags on his back, then turned around and smiled, "Of course, you will go to the academy to study when I do, and I will often go home"
"Ah wolf, read well in the private school in the village, and then exercise well, and when I come back, I will have a competition with you."
Ah Wolf nodded vigorously and then waved his hand, "Of course, I won't lose to you!"
"Wolf, I'm leaving!"
Xiao Yan walked to the side of the palace lord, "Let's go!"
"I have something to tell you, about my background and past, you can consider whether to accept me"
Master Gong smiled indifferently, "There's nothing you can't accept, even if you're a demon, I don't care, because of the demon, I can make it behave!"
"I am ......"
In the wind and snow, the boy and two middle-aged people walked forward one by one, and that direction was both dreams and ambitions......
......
Two years later.
In a forest in the Talquin Mountains, the red-haired boy was surrounded by many bandits, and behind him were red-clothed men with disdainful expressions and mocking faces.
"Captain Yan, let's deal with them quickly," a man in red said to the red-haired man.
The red-haired boy's face was full of determination, and the countless life and death trials and battles in two years had already reborn him, and he was no longer immature at that time.
The red-haired boy grinned, "I really don't know whether to live or die, just a bandit who dares to intercept things in Skynet?"
"Skynet??" The leading bandit kept retreating when he heard the word Skynet, and his face was frightened.
"Remember the person who killed you today, the captain of the first team of Skynet, Di Yan!!" Xiao Yan's expression changed suddenly.
"Diyan!!"
"The captain of the first team of the Skynet Ghost Slayer Legion, known as the man of the disaster
Then a trace of red magma appeared on Di Yan's arm, and then his entire right arm was covered in magma.
"Magma - Cataclysm"
"Boom!!" A punch smashed on the ground, and all the places where dozens of bandits were standing erupted into hot pillars of magma fire, which directly melted dozens of people in an instant, and the scene was extremely tragic and bloody.
"The captain's bloodline mutant body is really terrifying, and it deserves to be the next Ghost Slayer Legion general candidate with the highest support rate"
"What an intoxicating power!"
......
More than 20 days later, Xiao Yan temporarily stopped all tasks and returned to the small town in the northwest.
Fourteen or fifteen years old, and with a little name in Shenzhou, his face ran with excitement like a child's expression, and he finally saw the little grass hut.
"Wolf, grandma, I'm back!" Xiao Yan shouted loudly, and there was a lot of gold in the package in his arms, as well as meat buns.
"Are you out?"
Xiao Yan walked to the door, "Squeak!" pushed open the wooden door, but the next moment he was stunned, the room was covered with cobwebs, and it looked like no one had lived in it for a long time.
"How could it be, how could it be ......" Xiao Yan's eyes were lost and panicked.
"You~ are you Xiao Yan?" said an old man with a somewhat hunchback standing outside the door and looking at Xiao Yan.
Xiao Yan turned around, and the moment he saw the old man, he rushed over, "Uncle Liu, where is my grandmother?"
"Sure enough, it's Xiao Yan, this red hair still hasn't changed," said the old man sighed and said with some sadness, "Your grandmother, she died a year ago!"
"Boom!!" Like a thunderbolt on a sunny day, Xiao Yan felt that his head was bombarded.
"No, no!"
"How could it be, it couldn't be ......"
The old man continued to speak, "Ah Wolf also left the village after your grandmother died, and he hasn't come back for so long, how can such a young child survive outside, I have already reported to the official, but the government can't find him......"
"That child, that child may be ......"
"Impossible!!" Xiao Yan suddenly roared loudly, and the tears in his eyes flowed out like a spring, "Impossible......"
"Alas!" Looking at Xiao Yan's appearance, there was a trace of distress in the old man's eyes, "Child, your grandmother's grave is on the back mountain~ You ......"
"Whoosh!!"
In an instant, Xiao Yan's figure disappeared in place, and the old man hadn't even finished speaking, his face was full of incredulity, with a ghostly expression.
......
"Grandma, why don't you wait for me to come back, I haven't let you live the life of a rich man yet......" Xiao Yan looked at the cemetery in front of him, and her eyes were full of tears.
"Grandma, you see that Xiaoyan has a lot of gold, all of which is earned, and there are meat buns bought for Ah Wolf!"
"Grandma, I'm so good now, I still think that when I come back, the wolf will worship me and shout at me brother!"
"But the wolf is gone......
The wind and snow covered the entire hillside, just like the winter when the boy left, but two years ago, Xiao Yan didn't feel cold, but today's snow feels particularly biting......
"Grandma, a wolf won't die, I will definitely find him, whether it's a year or ten years, even if it's a lifetime!!"
"Boom!" the boy slammed his head on the ground, tears falling to the ground and melting the snow.
A few years ago, my grandmother also picked herself up from the snow, even if she was already poor and didn't have a meal, even if there was a child at home who was waiting to be fed, even if she was full of diseases and had no money to cure, but the old man still didn't want to watch Xiao Yan freeze to death in the snow, she took Xiao Yan home, this old man is so kind, she is the beauty of this world left in the world, shining with the light of winter.
Xiao Yan still remembers the kind face he saw when he opened his eyes, the porridge that was handed to his mouth, that was his favorite thing in his life, and his wrinkled face was the most beautiful in the world!
......
Three months later, the Mountains of Ice and Fire.
"The ghost general was actually killed!"
"It was Han Yifei, one of the six generals of Tianlan, who did it!"
"The six generals are really terrifying, but who can inherit the position of general?"
At this time, Lord Gong was followed by three middle-aged people and Xiao Yan and slowly walked to the most central place, looking at the countless people below, Lord Gong said with a faint smile on his face, "The new general of the Ghost Slayer Legion, Di Yan!!"
"Good!!"
"It's all expected!"
"Except for the disaster, none of us will accept it!"
The warriors below are all extremely excited, they are all rebellious people, but whether it is Di Yan's strength and talent, character or loyalty, they all make them recognize!!
"Emperor Yan, thank you, ......" said Emperor Yan's eyes suddenly changed, and a royal majesty emanated from his body, "In the future, the Ghost Slayer Legion will be renamed the Divine Tribulation Legion, and I will be the sole ruler of the Divine Tribulation Legion!"
"The meaning of the divine calamity, if you want to follow me, even if the gods are in front of you, you will be killed!!"
"Diyan!!"
"Diyan!"
Everyone's momentum was instantly driven by Di Yan's words, and the palace lord on the side was appreciative in his eyes, and muttered in his mouth: "Ghost general, you should regret not seeing this scene, he really became my right-hand man, this child who once followed us in the heavy snow!"
"The Divine Tribulation Legion listens to the order, and the Lord of the General gives the first order!"
Di Yan looked at the warriors who had quieted down in an instant, and began to say, "In the future, when everyone goes out on a mission, they will help me find out someone, his name is Ah Wolf, and he is my younger brother!"
"Lord Gong, Skynet's intelligence organization also wants you to lend me one!"
Master Gong nodded without hesitation and said, "Of course, my right arm ......"
"Ah wolf, I will definitely find you, even if I go through the Central Plains of Shenzhou and step on the endless desolate land, I will definitely find you!!"
Di Yan looked at the blue sky outside through the huge gate of the palace, and secretly swore in his heart......
......
