"Hehe... look, that sick man is in a daze there again!"
"I heard that he has a strange disease and will not live to be eighteen! Oh, how ominous it is!"
"Oh, it's so pitiful that it was so short-lived!"
A few young men dressed in simple and even shabby clothes pointed at a distance, some chuckled with gloating, some shook their heads and lamented bad luck, and some sighed with sympathy... Even the adults passing by would stay away from each other.
, euphemistically called, avoid bad luck, this is an ominous person, and people are afraid of being contaminated.
All kinds of living things are vividly displayed in this refugee settlement.
At the place where people were pointing, a thin boy with very pale skin was holding his chin and staring blankly at the sky. His clothes were similar to the others, with several patches. Regarding those people's pointing
Pointing, the young man seemed not to have heard, and there was no movement on his pale and gloomy face.
In fact, the young man's facial profile is considered handsome. Although his starry eyes are dull, there is a pair of sword-shaped eyebrows above them, which match together very harmoniously. His messy hair is scattered casually.
"There's still one year left..."
The young man who stared blankly at the sky for a long time finally moved his lips slightly and murmured, his voice was so thin that only he could hear it. He was seventeen years old this year. He was young and should have been full of vigor and high spirits.
, but he looked like a slumbering old man, lifeless, without any vitality that young people should have.
There is still one year left, and one year left until his "dead end". The boy's name is Han Xiao. He has contracted a strange disease since he was a child. The source of life in the Dantian in his abdomen is filled with endless death energy. A doctor once concluded that he will not live to be eighteen.
Years, like a magic spell, has accompanied him through seventeen years. Now, with the eighteenth year in sight, that inference seems to be coming true.
In Tianhuang Continent, it is well known that the life source of any living being should exude vitality. This is the foundation of life. If a person's life source is filled with death energy, then this person must be a tragic short-lived ghost.
.
However, such an example has never appeared in the entire Tianhuang Continent, and it is not even recorded in historical materials. It can be said that Han Xiao's situation is unprecedented, if not unprecedented.
Han Xiao knew that he had this strange disease since he was a child. He spent seventeen years in a lifeless manner, doing nothing but eating and sleeping and staring at the sky in a daze.
"Xiao Xiao, come in and eat quickly!"
Suddenly, a pleasant female voice came from the simple house behind Han Xiao, and soon a young woman in the same simple and shabby clothes walked out of it. Although the woman's clothes were simple and even shabby, her appearance made this place that had been dim all year round.
The refugee cave was illuminated by light.
"This girl Ling'er is truly a natural beauty!"
"That's right, it's so beautiful, but it's such a pity... ugh!"
"I'm twenty years old. If it weren't for my sick brother, I should have found a good family to marry! It's a pity, it's a pity..."
The Han family is quite special in this refugee camp. The appearance of such a beautiful woman naturally caused a lot of discussion among the neighbors. Many people secretly sighed that it was a pity. Although they did not like to see Han Xiao, a sick man, good things can always win.
People's goodwill is human nature. People feel that it is a pity that such a great beauty as Han Ling'er is living in a refugee camp.
"Xiao Xiao, let's go in and eat!"
Han Ling'er squatted down gently, touched Han Xiao's head lovingly, turned a deaf ear to the nearby comments, and pulled Han Xiao towards the back room.
"Sister, I'm the one dragging you down!"
Han Xiao's dull eyes finally started to move, she held Han Ling'er's hand tightly, and said in a low voice with regret. If it weren't for taking care of herself, relying on her sister's beauty, she would have found a good family to marry.
No need to suffer in this refugee camp.
"Silly brother, you are not dragging me down. Don't listen to their nonsense. In this world, my only relative is you. I don't want to get married. I want to stay with you forever!"
Han Ling'er's eyes were slightly red, she smoothed Han Xiao's disheveled hair lovingly, and said softly.
"But I want you to have a good life! Fortunately, there is still one year left..."
Han Xiao shook his head and sighed as if he was relieved. In one year, he will die. In this way, he will not have to drag his sister down, and her sister can find a good family to marry, and she will not have to suffer in this refugee camp.
In Han Xiao's memory, the two siblings were a pair of orphans. Over the years, he had been raised by his sister alone. Han Ling'er was only three years older than him. He still remembered that when they were children, they were lonely and helpless.
Wandering around, sleeping on the street when it was cold in winter, her sister would hold her tightly in her arms and breathe in to keep herself warm, but she herself was so cold that her face turned blue.
He still remembered that when they were in the most difficult time, they only had one steamed bun left. His sister lied to him that he had already eaten it while working in a teahouse. In fact, his sister accidentally broke a cup in the teahouse and was kicked out by the teahouse owner. In fact, his sister
He didn't eat anything, so he endured hunger, leaving the last steamed bun to him.
In fact, the teahouse owner saw that Han Ling'er had to work hard and didn't want to do too much, so he threw it to her. It was regarded as the reward for working during that time.
There were still many, many, many hardships, but Han Ling'er managed to survive relying on her delicate body. She had to bear too much bitterness and tasted all the hardships in the world. Later, the two finally settled in the same village.
After coming down, her sister relied on her needlework and was barely able to support the two of them. However, the good times did not last long. Later, a terrible plague came and many people died in the village. Han Xiao saw with his own eyes that one by one the villagers fell in front of him. Fortunately,
The two siblings were not lucky enough to be infected by the plague, and their elder sister, Han Ling'er, fled here with herself as a refugee.
This is the refugee camp in Peicheng. Peicheng is located to the north of Zu Dynasty and is considered to be in the border area.
She owed her sister so much. Han Xiao thought about it thousands of times in her heart. One day, she would be able to repay her sister! But she was born with a strange disease. She had been weak and sick since she was a child. She couldn't do any strenuous work at all. She even felt tired after running a long distance.
I almost fainted. With my physical condition, I couldn't help my sister at all, so how could I repay her in return?
Han Xiao hated, hated God for giving him such a sad fate, so he had to die so sadly? Han Xiao gradually accepted this fact, and accepted the sad fate God had arranged for him.
Han Xiao was helpless and helpless. It was a kind of helpless sadness. He couldn't do anything.
Now he just wants to stop dragging his sister down. Finally, there is still one year left. After his death, his sister can find a good family to marry and no longer have to endure hardship.
"You are not allowed to talk nonsense!"
Hearing Han Xiao's whisper, Han Ling'er's pretty face changed slightly, and she rarely got angry. But the angrier she became, Han Ling'er's tears couldn't stop flowing down. Why didn't she know about Han Xiao's condition? After searching for famous doctors, she couldn't find anything.
There is no way to cure it.
The fact that he would not live to be eighteen was like a curse placed on Han Xiao, and Han Xiao's body was getting weaker day by day.
"Ahem..."
Han Xiao saw that her sister was really angry, and was about to say something when suddenly her thin body trembled, she coughed violently, and her chest rose and fell rapidly, as if she couldn't breathe.
"puff--!"
Rapid breathing and violent coughing caused Han Xiao to suddenly fall down. A pool of blood coughed onto Han Ling'er's body, and his face turned as pale as a piece of paper in an instant.
"ah--!"
Han Ling'er was shocked and screamed in panic. She picked up the fallen Han Xiao and burst into tears. This happened not once or twice. Every time this happened to Han Xiao, Han Ling'er felt special.
Afraid.
"Xiao Xiao! Xiao Xiao... Wuwu... wake up, don't leave me alone, I can't live without you!"
Han Ling'er carried Han Xiao to the shabby bed that was about to fall apart in the house, gently rocked Han Xiao's body, and cried like a tearful child. She was helpless about this situation. Every time after coughing up blood, Han Xiao
He would fall into a coma, and although he would wake up automatically later, Han Ling'er was really scared, fearing that Han Xiao would fall into a coma forever and never wake up again.
"Woooo..."
When she thought of this, Han Ling'er's pretty face turned pale, and she slumped weakly beside the bed, crying on Han Xiao's body. Han Xiao passed out like this. She was now in a state of confusion. Because of fear, her body was bursting with pain.
cold.
Han Xiao is her only relative in this world, and Han Ling'er is really afraid of losing him suddenly. After all, she is a woman, and no matter how strong she is usually, at this time, she still shows the vulnerability and helplessness of a woman.
…
Han Xiao didn't know how long he had been unconscious this time. He felt as if he had slept for a long time. When he woke up, he saw Han Ling'er, who was sleeping next to him because he was too tired from crying.
"Sister...I've made you tired again! Hey..."
A look of pain appeared on Han Xiao's pale face, and he sighed helplessly. He knew that this coma had made his sister Han Linger suffer even more. Every time at this time, he wished he could not sleep and died.
, so as not to drag my sister down any more and make her suffer.
"Hey! Where is the beauty Han? Is she not at home?"
At this moment, a careless shout came from outside, accompanied by whistles, and then a sly head came in, looking left and right.
"Huang Feng! It's you again, are you looking for a fight again?"
At this time, Han Ling'er was also awakened by the clamor outside. When she saw the face of the visitor, her eyebrows suddenly stood up and she said coldly. This was very different from her previous weakness, as if she was a different person.
"Ouch! Beauty Han, don't be so fierce, hehe... your sick little brother has fainted again!"
The person who came had a ruffian look on his face, his eyes suddenly lit up as he glanced left and right, and he glanced at Han Ling'er's graceful body with covetous eyes. He immediately spotted Han Xiao who had just woken up on the bed, and gloated and said with a smile. He is
Peicheng is a famous ruffian who idles around all day long and is followed by four or five younger brothers. He does all kinds of evil and many pretty girls from private families have suffered.
"Go to hell—!"
Huang Feng's words touched Han Ling'er's pain. Han Ling'er's pretty face turned red with anger. Suddenly, a strong breath of life emanated from Han Ling'er's body. Her whole body suddenly became brighter, with a faint halo.
flowing on her skin.
"Bang--!"
"Ouch——!"
Han Ling'er's figure shot towards Huang Feng, then kicked him away with a whip kick, causing the latter to howl in agony.
"sister!"
Han Xiao called out worriedly. These gangsters came to harass her sister from time to time. Fortunately, Han Ling'er had strong martial arts skills. Every time these gangsters were repelled by Han Ling'er, she didn't expect that Huang Feng would come to harass Han Ling'er again today.
Already.
"Xiao Xiao, ah! You've finally woken up. I almost scared my sister to death just now. You have a good rest. I'll go and drive away these ruffians first!"
Han Ling'er ran back with a face of surprise, whispered instructions, and then walked out with a pretty face.
Soon, the miserable howls of Huang Feng's group of ruffians were heard outside. Han Ling'er was not weak in martial arts. This was the main reason why she, a weak woman, had survived all these years. Otherwise, in this cruel world, the two siblings would
His fate will be even worse.
"Aww! Beauty Han, you are so cruel. I am just here to send a message today. The young Liu Dang of the Liu family has taken a liking to you and wants you to prepare yourself and be his woman obediently! As long as you agree, you will be rich and prosperous.
You can enjoy it endlessly! Wuhaha..."
Huang Feng outside was howling miserably and yelling.
"Uuhaha..."
Others laughed and whistled.
"Get out of here!"
Only Han Ling'er's shameful and angry scolding was heard, and then Huang Feng's howling became farther and farther away, and Han Ling'er must have been scared away.
"Liu Dang..."
Han Xiao, who was lying on the bed, heard all these words, his eyes suddenly changed slightly, and a deep worry couldn't help but appear on his pale face.
Although her sister has the strength to open the second level of fate, she has absolutely no power to resist against the person named Liu Dang. It is not that the person named Liu Dang is very strong, but because Liu Dang is from Pei City.
