Chapter 1: The Starry Night
Before dawn and silence all around, Starry Night pushed open the door and began to practice boxing outside.
An hour later, the other handymen yawned and walked out of the room.
"It's been three years, and you're still dreaming?"
One of the young men couldn't stand it and persuaded him, "Wouldn't it be nice to have that time to sleep a little longer? Why do you make yourself so tired?"
Xingye smiled: "I can't sleep, practice for a while." ”
"Then you need to hurry, you have to work three jobs alone. ”
The young man glanced at Starry Night's clothes, which were marked with more than a dozen patches, and he really didn't know why he was living so poorly when he was paid three jobs a month.
The handymen began their day's work, and Starry Night joined in.
He was nimble with his hands and feet, and was completely different from the time-grinding chores, even if one person did the work of three people, he did it before the others.
While there was still some time before eating, Starry Night threw another set of punches.
Boxing is an ordinary body-strengthening boxing, handed down from the sect, no money, other miscellaneous servants feel useless, only starry night every day uninterrupted practice.
Today, the handymen were particularly excited, making meaty jokes, and Starry Night remembered that today was the time to pay wages, and there was a warmth in his heart.
It is said that in the early years, he came from the inner door and was seriously injured when he worked for the sect, and the sect was grateful to let him come to the miscellaneous office as a lifelong steward.
He was not small, he had a bad temper, and the handymen were afraid of him.
Holding a big bag of gold coins and walking with a loud sound, Wang Hehu came to the handyman who was eating, and said in a loud voice: "Dogs, all die for Lao Tzu!"
The handymen immediately put down the dishes and chopsticks in their hands and ran towards Wang Hehu, and after taking the salary, they could be chic for a few days.
Starry Night was still eating, and the food that was difficult for others to swallow, but he chewed it slowly like a delicacies from the mountains and the sea, and ate it with relish.
The wages of the miscellaneous servants are twenty gold coins per month, and there are about eighty people in Wang Hehu's side, and each miscellaneous servant will go around to Wang Hehu after getting the finished money, put down two gold coins and leave.
It's the 'rule'.
After receiving the completion money, everyone doesn't even eat, and today is a half-day off, and everyone will go down the mountain in style.
Everyone was in groups, but no one called Starry Night, because they knew that he would not go.
No one knows what Starry Night has been working three jobs alone for three years, earning money and not spending it.
After Xingye finished eating, he walked in front of Wang Hehu, and the other party looked at Xingye without speaking, and grabbed a large handful of gold coins casually.
Starry Night counted sixty-six in all, and he had to return six.
Wang Hehu stretched out his hand and held Xingye's head and shook it, "Forget it, it's been three years, and I haven't seen your kid sneak by, so it's a reward." ”
Wang Hehu put down his money bag and looked at the starry night, "It's a good thing for young people to have goals, but don't lose yourself, go down the mountain to buy a decent set of clothes, and wear a miscellaneous uniform all day long, which girl will like it?"
Xingye said 'um', in the eyes of the handyman, Wang Hehu, who looked fierce and difficult to speak, didn't know whether to look at Xingye pitifully or diligently, never deducted Xingye's wages, and sometimes gave a few more.
Looking at the back of the starry night leaving, Wang Hehu sighed, this child is simple, kind, and can endure suffering, but what can I do......
Starry Night returned to the room, simply scrubbed the sweat stains on his body, changed out of his dirty clothes, and took out a miscellaneous uniform with relatively few patches.
When he came to the back mountain and saw the waiting shadow, Xingye couldn't help but smile a little more.
Qianying heard footsteps and turned around and called 'Starry Night'.
If anyone else in the sect saw this scene, they would naturally be extremely surprised, because the girl in front of her was Fang Qing, who was extremely famous in the outer sect of the Star Martial Sect.
She has excellent talent, and in just three years since she came to the Star Martial Sect, she has crossed the Triple Realm of Star Law, and once she further steps into the Quadruple Realm, she will be able to advance to the inner gate.
"Here, sixty-six gold coins, the king steward gave a few more, and he is good to me. Starry Night pulled out the small bag of gold coins.
Fang Qing took the gold coin, "I'll tell you a good news, I've already achieved the fourfold star law." ”
"Really?"
Starry Night's eyes lit up, and he said in surprise: "Isn't that able to participate in the inner door assessment and enter the inner door?"
Fang Qing nodded, but the smile on her face faded.
"What's wrong?" Starry Night's face changed slightly.
"Starry Night, I may not be able to keep my promises. Fang Qing looked guilty.
"What the hell is going on?" Starry Night asked worriedly.
"When you and I came to the Xingwu Sect, the gold coins on our bodies were only enough for one person's registration fee, and you gave me the opportunity to work as a handyman outside for me to practice, and we said at that time that once I entered the inner gate, we would find a way to let you enter the outer gate and start practicing. ”
There was mist in Fang Qingmei's eyes, "But now, I can't fulfill my original promise, because the inner disciple doesn't have this power." ”
Xingye's face turned pale, he had never given up practicing boxing in the past three years, and he had a dream of becoming an outer disciple.
But now......
Looking at Fang Qing's guilty look, the pale starry night pretended to be relaxed and said: "It's okay, I thought it was a big deal, girl, don't take it to heart, in fact, it's good to be a handyman, I'm used to it." ”
Starry Night reached out and touched Fang Qing's head, and the other party dodged.
Starry Night withdrew her embarrassed hand, "You can rest assured to prepare for the assessment, don't worry about me, it will still be the old rule in the future, when the salary is paid every month, I will come here to give you the salary." It should cost more to enter the inner door, so I'll apply to Steward Wang again to see if I can do two more jobs. ”
The hope of entering the outer gate is dashed, and Starry Night decides to give up the time to practice boxing and fight again to try to do two more jobs.
Fang Qing shook his head, "Starry Night, can you leave the Star Martial Sect?"
"Huh?" Starry Night was stunned.
"Tomorrow's internal assessment, I will get contributions, and I don't need Brother Starry Night to do coolies. Can you leave the sect, I don't want everyone to know that there is a relationship between you and me. ”
Fang Qing lowered her head, "If you let them know that I came with a handyman, I would have low self-esteem." ”
Looking at Starry Night, who was stunned and didn't respond immediately, Fang Qing stretched out his hand and pulled Starry Night's arm, "Brother Starry Night, when my father rescued you, you were already dying, and when you woke up, you only remembered your name, and forgot everything else." For the sake of my father who saved your life, can you help me? I beg you, for the sake of my bright future, can you get out of here? I haven't begged you a few times since my father saved you, and this is the last time, okay?"
Looking at Fang Qing with pear blossoms and rain, Xingye's heart softened, and he smiled bitterly, "Okay, I'll go, now I'll go back and pack up my things and say goodbye to Steward Wang." ”
Just this sentence seemed to drain all his strength, and his body shook and almost fell.
Because, he completely gave up on chasing his dream.
"You rags, what do you have to clean up. If you leave here, you can't come back, you don't have to say hello. Brother Starry Night, these are two gold coins, you take them to buy good clothes, don't wear them so shabby in the future, you really can't meet people. ”
Fang Qing put the two gold coins in Starry Night's hand, and then gently tidied up Starry Night's clothes, "Brother Starry Night, my father asked you to take care of me before he died, you did it, and you won't owe my family in the future." After leaving here, I have to ask you not to mention to others that I know me, I am destined to be not on the same level as you in the future, and I will forget about each other. ”
Looking at Fang Qing, who said the most heartless words in the most gentle tone, Starry Night felt chills all over.
He knew it was his heart that was cold.
"Rest assured, there is no relationship between us. ”
At this moment, Xingye was disheartened, and couldn't help but think of the scene three years ago, after burying Fang Long, the two of them were going to the Green Ox Sect, and the gold coins on their bodies were enough for the registration fee.
At that time, Fang Qing used a pleading tone to make Starry Night change his original plan, and he would stay in Xingwu Sect for three years.
Now, the dream has woken up.
The dream is gone.
Looking at the back of the starry night, Fang Qing shook the hands that had touched the clothes of the starry night.
"You just believe in him like that, aren't you afraid that he will ruin your reputation everywhere when he goes out?"
A handsome young man appeared behind Fang Qing and grabbed her slender waist.
"He won't. ”
Fang Qing shook his head and snuggled into the young man's arms, "His brain is broken, he has no previous memories, and he will only be obedient to me." ”
"What if? Only the dead keep secrets. The young man's eyes sparkled with cold, "Pinning one's fate on others is the behavior of the weak." I know you're kind, I'll do it!"
"He willingly gave up everything for my sake. Two tears flowed from Fang Qing's eyes, "Don't let him feel pain, be troublesome when you start." ”
Starry Night left the Xingwu Sect without saying goodbye, and in a mountain forest, three people suddenly jumped out.
Starry Night recognized them, they were all miscellaneous servants of the Xingwu Sect, but they did not belong to Wang He Hu, and the two sides had met but never greeted each other.
Looking at their malicious eyes, Starry Night immediately said, "There are only two gold coins left, and I want you to take them." ”
The leader held a firewood knife in his hand and said with a cruel smile: "Of course we want gold coins, but this time it is mainly your head!"
Starry Night's face changed, feeling the killing intent, they were here to kill themselves.
But I have never offended them.
Could it be......
Before Starry Night could guess anything, a stuffy stick struck him and hit him in the head.
Starry Night began to shake, and then the second blow landed on the back of the head again.
Starry Night was dizzy, and one picture after another appeared in front of him, none of which could be seen realistically, but there was light and blood in each picture.
Flashing aura......
Endless Blood......
Boom!
The sixth stick fell, and Starry Night fell unconscious.
A man holding a stick in both hands appeared behind Starry Night, "This kid's bones are too hard, in the past, this kind of scene fell with one stick, but I didn't expect to use six sticks today." Damn, my hands hurt!"
"Don't talk nonsense, cut off your head and leave quickly. ”
The head of the handyman immediately stepped forward, and the firewood knife in his hand slashed at Starry Night's head.
At the moment when the wood knife fell, he suddenly screamed, and infinite horror appeared in his eyes.
