"Whirring ......"
Cheng Ming ran into a narrow alley sandwiched between two small districts, leaning against the wall and panting. At this time, his hair was messy, he was sweating profusely, and he was wearing a clean and tidy school uniform with a few eye-catching footprints printed on it, which looked quite wolf.
After a while, Cheng Ming only felt that he was weak, and said to himself with a wry smile: "No, I can't run anymore, they must not catch up......"
As he spoke, he leaned against the wall, slowly stretched his head out, and looked back and forth in fear, and found that there were no pedestrians on the road, and then he breathed a long sigh of relief.
"Oops! it hurts me!"
Cheng Ming, who was relaxed, immediately felt a burst of soreness in the muscles of his hands and feet, and he hurriedly sat on the ground against the wall with a feeling of weakness, and kept massaging his arms and thighs with his hands, and after a while, he felt more comfortable.
"Hey, why do you think I'm so unlucky?"
Speaking of which, Cheng Ming is just a junior high school student in Huaijingfu No. 3 Middle School, an inland city in Jiangnan Province, he is thin and timid by nature, he likes more things than less things, but he also likes to show off his good face, because his parents are in foreign trade business, his family background is better than ordinary people, and he often takes some new things to school.
Over time, some ruffians around the school heard about Cheng Ming, so they hit him with the idea and often asked him for money.
With Cheng Ming's powerless appearance, it is impossible to beat these people, and he will be beaten up if he takes advantage of it. Later, he thought that he should be fine without pocket money, but he didn't expect the other party to intensify it. After several times, he could only choose to go against the grain.
Some friends may say, since this is the case, why didn't Cheng Ming tell his parents and teachers about it?
First, Cheng Ming is still a junior high school student after all, and he loves face, and he feels that he is so useless, and if he sues his parents or teachers, he will not be able to get over his face.
Of course, the most important thing is that he was threatened by those ruffians, especially the one named Kuroko, his eldest brother is still a high-level member of a local martial arts hall, and his power is very huge, and his family can't resist it at all. He was afraid that something would happen, so he didn't dare to report it.
Moreover, those people didn't push him too much, plus he felt that he was already in the third year of junior high school, and when he went to high school, presumably these people would not hit him with ideas again. For various reasons, he chose to hand over the money obediently.
As for Cheng Ming being so wolf now, it is mainly because he forgot to bring money when he left in the morning, and sadly, he confessed to a female classmate who had been secretly in love for two years today but was rejected.
So, when Cheng Ming came home from school and met those people to blackmail, when he saw that he had no money and wanted to do it, he erupted like a volcano, regardless of the pain of being beaten on his body, he gave the sunspot a hard kick to the lower body.
Looking at the wailing sunspot, Cheng Ming ran away in fear, and this is the scene just now.
"I don't know what about that guy Kuroko, he won't kick me to waste, right?"
Cheng Ming thought with some concern, if Heizi was really kicked out by him, then he and his family would really not be able to finish eating and leaving.
"No, I have to call Da Zhuang and ask. ”
Cheng Ming hurriedly took out his mobile phone and called Tian Dazhuang: "Hey, Da Zhuang, was the sunspot invalidated by my kick just now?"
"No!" a rough voice came from the phone: "You ran away for a while, Kuroko left, you have to be careful tomorrow, he said he will come to you to settle accounts." ”
Cheng Ming laughed and said, "Haha, anyway, tomorrow is Sunday, let him go." ”
"Uh...... That's right, but ......."
Cheng Ming interrupted him and said indifferently: "Da Zhuang, don't worry, it's a big deal to be beaten!"
Tian Dazhuang said worriedly: "Heizi, this person will be revenged, if you don't have time, I'll help you, right?"
Cheng Ming refused again and again: "No, no, it's not that I don't know the situation of your family, but I don't want to cause you trouble...... Okay, so be it......"
Putting away the phone, Cheng Ming looked at his thin arms and legs, sighed and said, "Hey, why do I look like this? If I can be like Da Zhuang, I'm afraid of them!"
Speaking of which, Cheng Ming can't figure out what is going on with him, his parents are tall and big, and he is obviously full-term, and the family conditions are good, whether the mother is pregnant or later, not to mention overnutrition, malnutrition is simply impossible.
Because of this, Cheng Ming really can't understand how he has grown into the virtue he is now!
If the body is just thin and weak, it is really not a big problem to have a healthy body in the Tang Dynasty, which is prosperous in martial arts and full of martial arts halls, as long as Cheng Ming's body is not too big, from practicing since childhood to now, it should be no problem to have a healthy body.
But Cheng Ming had a strange problem, he was dizzy when he practiced martial arts, and what was even more strange was that Cheng Ming's parents took him to major hospitals across the country to see him, but the results of the examination were very normal. Later, he used countless ancestral remedies, but the result was the same as always, and the family could only reluctantly accept the reality.
Growing like this, and not being able to practice martial arts, Cheng Ming has always had low self-esteem in his heart, and it can be said that his current character is also caused by this.
Just when Cheng Ming was feeling that his fate was in danger, a sudden sound of "bang" came from not far away, which startled him.
Cheng Ming thought that the sunspots were catching up, so he quickly stood up and looked in the direction of the sound in fear, it turned out that there was just a person who fell to the ground, and this discovery made him breathe a sigh of relief.
Curiosity and kindness in his heart drove Cheng Ming to go over and check it out, but he immediately thought of the examples of helping people who were wronged on the Internet now, thinking of this, he just stretched out his foot and retracted it, turned around and prepared to leave.
"In these days, you can't be a good person!"
However, as soon as he took a few steps, Cheng Ming's heart became entangled again, thinking to himself, this is a human life, in case he doesn't save an accident because he sees death, he will be happy in his heart for the rest of his life.
"Forget it, let's go and take a look, anyway, with the way I look, it's unlikely that I did it, right?"
Thinking so, Cheng Ming walked towards the man, walked to him, he first looked at the other party, and found that he was just a dwarf who was not even one meter four tall. If it weren't for the fact that the other party looked a little stout, and the hands didn't look like the hands of a young man, he would have thought that this person was just a teenager.
Since this person was crawling on the ground motionless, Cheng Ming couldn't see what was going on with him, so he squatted down and patted him lightly on the shoulder: "Hey, how are you, do you want to call an ambulance?"
shouted a few times, but didn't see any movement from this person, Cheng Ming couldn't help but be a little worried, he had learned some first aid knowledge, he didn't dare to move at this time, and hurriedly took out his mobile phone to prepare to call the emergency number.
"Ahh
"I'm scared to death, are you okay?" Cheng Ming asked with concern.
At this time, he saw that this person slowly raised his head, but this person's appearance scared Cheng Ming again, which made him muttered a little in his heart, is it bad luck today, why are you always scared, come a few times, you have to have a heart attack.
To get back to the point, the reason why Cheng Ming was startled by that person's appearance was not that this person was too ugly or anything, but because this person's state was too scary.
I saw that the dwarf's eyes were red like rabbits, and the eyes, nose and mouth were still bleeding, and with a pale and bloodless face, it looked like a zombie on TV. If it's night, it's estimated to scare people to death.
Cheng Ming froze and was about to ask what help the other party needed, but the next words of the dwarf made Cheng Ming a little stunned.
"Boy, do you have any money on you?!" the dwarf asked in a menacing tone.
Cheng Ming shook his head, at this time he couldn't figure it out, this person is like this, and he still has this attitude, is it really like what is said on the Internet, there is no good reward for kindness?
The dwarf slowly stood up, probably wobbly from his injuries. But just like this, he still glared, and said to Cheng Ming in a threatening tone: "Boy, I see that you are a student, you don't have any money on you, do you think I will believe it? Hurry up and give it to me!"
When Cheng Ming heard this, he laughed instead: "I said that you don't have a problem with your brain, even if you want to blackmail me, don't look at what kind of virtue you are, go and pee and take care of yourself!"
"You say it again?!" the dwarf's face suddenly darkened.
"Isn't it?" Cheng Ming sneered: "Just you, a third-class cripple, you should honestly find a job, don't do this kind of thing." Fortunately, this is to meet me, if you are a grumpy, then you will be crippled and disabled!"
Speaking of this, he muttered in his heart: "If I can have great strength, I will let you know why the flowers are so red now!"
Hearing Cheng Ming say this, the dwarf laughed instead, but with his "respectful face", it was even more ugly than crying: "Although some people dare to call me crippled, there is no garbage like you, dare to call me crippled, right?"
As he spoke, the dwarf's hand suddenly became unbelievably longer, and then he grabbed Cheng Ming's neck and lifted him against the wall.
Just as Cheng Ming came back to his senses and wanted to scold the other party, he felt that it was becoming more and more difficult for him to breathe, and he wanted to break free, but he found that this hand was like an iron tong, firmly fixed on his neck.
"Say, you'll talk about it later!" the dwarf slowly increased the strength of his hand, and with that hideous expression, it was like a devil from hell.
"Hmm...... Not...... Hmmm......"
At this time, in addition to the instinctive struggle, Cheng Ming could not speak, but this scene was so wonderful in the eyes of the culprit that he relaxed his hand a little, in order to "appreciate" Cheng Ming's struggle again.
The dwarf's behavior did not make Cheng Ming feel better, but made him feel more painful, and after a while, his consciousness began to blur.
"Am I going to die? I'm only 15 years old, so I'm so unwilling! If my physique was better and I could exercise every day, I wouldn't be as powerless as I am now......
Just when Cheng Ming was feeling sorry for himself, he didn't hear it, and the dwarf's mouth suddenly let out a "uh" sound.
"In the end, I still have to blame my parents for why I was born like this, if I was born with a strong body...... How can I speak......"
At this time, Cheng Ming suddenly heard a sound from his mouth, and suddenly reacted, at this time he was a little dazed and at a loss, and then secretly opened his eyes, but the situation in front of him made his eyes widen in horror.
It turns out that the dwarf who was still fierce and vicious just now actually had a small shovel stuck in his head, and the shovel body had already submerged into his head, leaving only the handle, so there is no need to say much about the result.
"Ah!" Cheng Ming was timid by nature, he was stunned for a moment, he could no longer suppress the fear in his heart, and struggled while screaming, but no matter how he struggled, the hand stuck in his neck did not move at all, so anxious that he broke out in a cold sweat.
At this time, Cheng Ming was stunned again, because a cold and emotionless voice suddenly sounded in his head.
"Found a human corpse, meets the transformation conditions, is it absorbed?3.2.1, the host does not respond, the default absorption ......"
As soon as the voice fell, the dwarf's whole person suddenly disappeared, if it weren't for the fact that there was still some blood on the ground, Cheng Ming would have thought that what happened just now was just his hallucination.
"You can't stay in this place!" Cheng Ming came back to his senses, shuddered, and ran to his house.
............
"Old woman, did you see my little flower shovel?"
"Your stuff is all in the east and west, who knows where it goes?"
"It doesn't make sense, when I planted the flowers just now, I put them here on the windowsill, why did I go back and get a seed and it disappeared?
The old lady asked strangely, "You won't be blown down by the wind, will you?"
"Did you see a strong wind just now?" asked the old man rhetorically.
"Nope. ”
"That's it, by the way, who just came here?"
"I was tidying up my clothes in the room just now, could it be Xiaojing?"
"Xiaojing! Xiaojing...... Come over here!"
After a while, a little boy of four or five years old came over and asked cautiously, "Grandpa, what did you call me?"
Seeing the appearance of the little boy, the old couple still didn't understand, and the old man asked: "The child should be honest, you took the little flower shovel, right?"
The little boy Nono nodded: "Yes...... I just accidentally touched the little shovel outside. ”
Hearing her grandson say this, the old lady became anxious: "Hey, what's the matter with you kid, if someone happens to pass by, it will kill you!"
When his grandmother said this, the little boy's tears flowed down his eyes, and he sobbed and said, "I...... I just wanted to help my grandfather grow flowers, I really didn't mean to!"
The old man waved his hand: "Okay! I'll talk about this later, let's go downstairs and take a look, don't really hit someone." ”
"Grandpa, I want to go too. The little boy said weakly.
When the old lady heard this, she reprimanded: "Children's family, where are you going, let me stay at home honestly!"
Let the grandson stay at home honestly, the old couple quickly went downstairs and came to the alley where Cheng Ming was just now.
As soon as she walked to the bottom of the balcony of her house, the old lady suddenly exclaimed, "Ah, there is blood on the ground!
"This ......" The old man couldn't help but shudder when he saw the blood on the ground that had not yet coagulated: "This is a bad thing, and I don't know what happened to that person, do you want to call the police?"
"Don't call the police. The old lady hurriedly stopped: "I called the police, what if the child is scared?"
"I don't think you want to lose money, do you?" said the old man with a frown.
"What are you talking about? I'm not here for the kid, he's going to have heart surgery next month. Having said that, the old lady's confidence in speaking was obviously a little lacking.
"Uh...... Then let's talk about it then, if the other party comes to the door, we can pay as much as we want......"
