When Xiao Kui was a child, his family was well off and he lived with his pioneer parents in a two-story building in a third-tier city.
Then when he was 8 years old, one evening when the sky was gray and the rainstorm kept coming.
The living room is brightly lit, and the dining table has been set with 4 dishes and 1 soup filled with hot aroma. The young Xiao Kui walked to the chair in front of the dining table and said in a childish voice that had not changed: "Mom, why didn't dad come back?"
His mother said: "It will only take 5 minutes. My dad will be back soon."
5 minutes later, the door opened as expected. His father returned home on time. But what was different from usual was that there was a little girl wearing a raincoat beside his father.
The little girl's raincoat was very thin and had already been soaked by the heavy rain outside. But the little girl didn't seem to feel anything about this. Her calf was holding Xiao Kui's father's thigh, and her big amber eyes were ashen and dumbfounded.
Xiao Kui's father took off the little girl's raincoat and brought it home. At that time, Xiao Kui's mother also came over. What was said between the two of them was not heard clearly by the young Xiao Kui.
The mother took the little girl into the bathroom, and her father and Xiao Kui had dinner together. After the meal, the young Xiao Kui was told that the little girl would become a member of their family from now on. I beg you to treat her as you would your own sister.
"Can we give him a biological sister? Why does he ask for a stranger of the same age to be his biological sister?" Young Xiao Kui's thoughts were pure, and he directly said what he wanted to say.
So Xiao Kui's father told the young Xiao Kui that the little girl was the daughter of his and his mother's mercenary team mates. Her mother died in the wilderness during a mission a year ago, and her first relative, her father, had just passed away.
Among his teammates in the mercenary group, Xiao Kui's father and the little girl's father were as close as brothers, and he had a son who was about the same age as the little girl. So he decided to help his brother raise his daughter. My mother also agreed.
"Okay, he will be a good brother. What's her name?" Young Xiao Kui had just eaten and was in a good mood, so he agreed.
... ...
"Are we two family?"
Everyone in the carriage was so shocked that they almost dropped their heads. Wu Qi looked at Xiao Kui and Ke Ling, his surprise reflected in his eyes.
Wu Qi can completely understand the relationship between Xiao Kui and Ke Ling. The two relatives had been separated for so long that neither of them knew whether they would have a chance to see each other again in their lifetimes. However, they unexpectedly reunited in the occupied area, which eats people without spitting out their bones and is comparable to hell on earth.
And the one who saved Dong Ke Ling was Xiao Kui. If there was any deviation in the previous actions of their team, Ke Ke Ling would really die in the belly of the tentacled monster. Xiao Kui would not be able to remember Ke Ling, and of course they would not see each other again.
"It doesn't matter." Ke Ling walked on the chair and swung her legs back and forth. She turned her head and glanced at Xiao Kui. Xiao Kui's eyes were looking forward in an ordinary way.
Originally, Ke Ling had not thought of asking that question, but now that Xiao Kui had told his teammates about their previous relationship, she might have wanted to know the answer to that question.
"Brother, I haven't seen him in many years. Have I missed him?" Ke Ling had a faint smile on his face, and his eyes reflected the scenes passing by outside the window. There was no expectation or other emotion in her eyes.
"Hmph, if I asked him if he had thought about it, would he be able to answer me no?" Xiao Kui snorted. When a woman admits that she misses her in full public view, it is like having the word "shame" written on her face. How can she answer it properly
"It's not good to be honest and shut up," Ke Ling said lightly without getting angry, "After he left me for a while, he would think about me occasionally."
A flash of old memories flashed before Xiao Kui's eyes, and he said: "There is no way, he thought I was dead a long time ago."
"Is he so unsure of his ability to survive?"
"Honestly, everyone should be surprised that I can come back alive."
Ke Ling and Xiao Kui were talking back and forth. When Xiao Kui was 8 years old, Ke Ling was 6 years old. Five years later, when Xiao Kui's family was traveling out of a third-level city, Ke Ling and Xiao Kui's family were separated due to a third party attack. They have since lost contact.
If you think about it, you will know what happened to an 11-year-old girl who was left alone in a deserted mountain stream. Xiao Kui also felt sad for a while, but after all, Ke Ling's separation was caused by the attack of evil people. He had no ability to protect himself and Ke Ling. Therefore, Xiao Kui did not blame himself deeply. That incident became a faint regret in Xiao Kui's heart, buried very deep, so deep that Xiao Kui would only recall it when he occasionally thought about his parents and childhood. There once was a girl who lived under the same roof as me.
Xiao Kui asked himself whether Ke Ling valued Qing in his heart. That was fine. But if you ask him if he is happy now, he is happy.
At least being in the occupied wasteland, which is half a continent away from your biological parents, you are likely to meet half of your family, which is a very rare, very lucky, and very enviable thing.
Thinking of this, Xiao Kui coughed lightly, and then said to Ke Ling: "Yengzhi, now that I'm back, just stay with him." He can protect me. "
A flash of inspiration flashed in Ke Ling's amber eyes. She was stunned for a moment, and then asked with a smile: "Really? Are you sure I have that strength?"
Xiao Kui raised the black-red mechanical weapon he wore on his right arm, and said with a smile: "With that leg in front of me, I could kill the tentacled monster that defeated our entire investigation team with one punch. Isn't it powerful?" "
Xiao Kui said, feeling a little proud.
"Ke Ling, don't underestimate the 'force appearance' of their team. Xiao Kui's strength does not need to be boasted." Yue Zhanfei crossed his arms in front of his chest and introduced Xiao Kui with a hint of pride.
Ke Ling blinked and smiled doubtfully: "Oh? It turns out that Xiao Kui is so powerful, so I am the most powerful ace in our team."
The flesh on Xiao Kui's face shook imperceptibly. The two Yongxuans, Frost Giant and Wu Qi, flashed through his mind for a moment. After hesitating for a moment, he erased the frost giant's Yongxuan, leaving Dongwu Qi's Yongxuan.
Xiao Kui felt a little conflicted. Do you want Ying Donglai? It seems a little awkward whether it should be or not.
"Of course." One person said affirmatively at that time. Not to deny them, but to deny Wu Qi.
"That's it. If all three people said it, it must be right." Ke Ling glanced at Wu Qi, then patted Xiao Kui on the shoulder.
Xiao Kui's expression was very good, but he felt a little complicated, and even came up with the idea of using all his strength to compete with Wu Qi.
Wu Qi was not in front of Investigation Team No. 7, and he, Xiao Kui, was naturally the trump card. But after Wu Qi appeared, Wu Qi shined in almost every battle and steadily dominated him; it was not until he put on that flying power armor that he regained some of his power.
"Wu Qi, he didn't want me to give him face just now. He wants to prove that he is really better than me." Xiao Kui thought to himself.
