I was born in an inconspicuous place in the Hawaiian subcontinent—the Black Flame City in the Andaman League.
The Andaman Alliance is a small city alliance. How small is this alliance? The entire city area protected by the city wall may not be as big as a Class A city in Taixia. Such an alliance will naturally find Not a single knight came out.
Before the start of the Holy War, the Andaman Alliance had been annexed by the Norman Empire. The Black Flame City where I was located had also become a fourth-level city under the Brunswick Province under the jurisdiction of the Governor-General of the Northern Territory of the Norman Empire. Before the Andaman Alliance was annexed, for many people who grew up in the prosperous cities of the Hawaiian subcontinent, many people did not know where the Black Flame City of the Andaman Alliance was in that subcontinent.
For many Taixia Chinese people who live in a prosperous age, many people probably don't know where the Weiyi subcontinent is.
I was born in such an insignificant place, a grassroots knight who rose from an insignificant person.
The most important point why I feel like I am a grassroots knight is that before I was sixteen years old, I knew that my surname was Zhang, but I never knew that I had a copper-plated relationship with the powerful Huaiyuantang in the Weiyi subcontinent.
A copper coin was the price of half a bowl of rice wine to me when I was young. My mother supported the family by making rice wine, and my father worked in a steel factory in Heiyan City. At that time, my father's annual salary was about twelve gold coins. This salary is enough to support our family of four. It is already very stressful for our family to maintain the most basic and decent life in Black Flame City. Our family's days are counted one coin at a time.
Originally, our family was supposed to be a family of five. I also had an older brother. Unfortunately, before I was born, that guy died in the Andaman Alliance as an ordinary soldier of the Andaman Alliance in a very dishonorable and brainless way. In the midst of war with surrounding forces. After that guy came to our house very irresponsibly to make soy sauce and then left, I was finally found in the family.
Probably to make my life harder. I don’t want to come home again to buy soy sauce, so my family gave me my current name—Zhang Tie.
Compared to the knight name Zhang Mu Shen, I actually prefer the nickname given to me by my family, Zhang Tie, which is originally a very grassroots name.
Iron is not valuable, but it is very hard. This name has also become a portrayal of my experience from birth to now.
…
My mother's teachings to me since childhood can be summed up in one sentence - I don't need to become a great man. But I have to work hard to be a good person!
I have always tried hard to be a good person since I was a child.
I was too young at that time, so young that I didn’t even understand what it meant to be a good person, but when I first rode my family’s tricycle, I took the rice soup left over from the rice brewing at home to the orphanage in Heiyan City. When coming back. Seeing the smiles of the children in Rongguyuan and the happy smile on my mother's face, I had the earliest definition of a good person - a good person is someone who can give the endless rice soup at home to Rongguyuan. .
Mother Teresa from the orphanage also touched my head. Say I'm a good person.
At that time, I felt very confident. I can be a good person all my life.
Unexpectedly, I wanted to be a good person. I was disillusioned less than half a year after arriving in Taixia. Now, in Taixia, I am a heinous and evil person.
…
It's hard to be a good person, especially being a good person who can please everyone, and it's even harder to be a good person who can please everyone, and a good person may not be respected by others, nor can he become famous in a short time.
Sometimes, I also want to be a bad guy.
The first time I wanted to be a bad guy was in Black Flame City, in the Iron Thorn Battle Hall in Black Flame City.
…
Captain Colin, my military representative at the No. 7 Middle School in Black Flame City, is also the dean of discipline. He saw that I was very resistant to beatings in school, and he probably saw me as pitiful, so he "kindly" introduced me to a job in the war. There is a promising career in management.
I still clearly remember every word Captain Colin said to me that day.
"I would like to introduce you to a social internship job in your spare time. This is a rare part-time job. Not only can you make money, the salary is high, you can exercise after work, and you can also come into contact with many rich and prestigious people. Your vision, if you do this job well, it will also greatly improve your strength. There are a lot of beauties in the workplace. If the opportunity comes, you may have the opportunity to have close contact with some beautiful girls. Many people ask I didn’t even agree, except for you, I don’t think there is anyone more suitable than you!”
When I heard this for the first time, I felt that Captain Colin was the cutest person in the world. I felt that the aura of a good person finally broke out in me, and my bleak life finally showed the first glimmer of improvement.
At that time, I was working as an apprentice in a grocery store in Black Flame City. The owner of the grocery store was a tough guy. I worked for two years without even earning a single copper.
Life in Black Flame City Boys' High School has turned all the upright adolescent male students into beasts dominated by hormones.
In school, we don't call each other classmates, but call each other animals.
Therefore, I am eager for a job where I can make money, see beautiful women, and have close contact with "big shots."
The location of this job is on Mingguang Street, the busiest street in Black Flame City.
I felt like my life was about to take off.
…
One day after Captain Colin introduced me to the job, with a heart full of anxiety and longing, I came to Mingguang Street, held my breath and walked into the Iron Thorn Battle Hall guarded by warriors in armor. door.
A beautiful woman was standing behind the service desk in the battle hall at that time. She had a nice ponytail and was in her twenties. She was wearing a black tight elastic vest on her upper body and a pair of white tight sports pants on her lower body. Seeing her for the first time. The friendly smile on her face and the youthful atmosphere that hit her face made me restless.
This woman's name is Mary. He was also the one who made me want to be a bad guy for the first time.
Knowing that I came to the war hall to apply for a job, she walked out from behind the service desk. Take me to the manager's room.
I walked behind her and looked at her swaying ass. The desire to become a man burned in my heart like wildfire. Then, I boldly stammered a word to her, "Hello... hello, my... name is Zhang Tie. What is your name?"
I think. My voice should have been trembling at that time.
Mary stopped, looked at me and the clothes I was wearing that showed all my identity and family background with cold and sarcastic eyes, and told me - "Actually, you don't need to know my name, although we all I am here to make money, but you just need to know that there will be no intersection between my life and people like you. Don’t be a toad and want to eat swan meat... "
This is a great disgrace.
After hearing this, I felt that my face turned pale and was as stiff as iron, and someone stabbed me with a knife in my heart. For a moment, I didn't know how to respond. Maybe I should face it gently and calmly, but in the end. The mixture of anger and courage at being slighted and underestimated made me grab the woman's shoulders and push her against the wall. When she was frightened and overwhelmed, she used piston movements between men and women. He straightened his back and hit her twice. And I told her fiercely that I must make her crawl in front of me one day and beg me to fuck her.
This is obscene and not something a good person can do.
That's not what a good man can say to a beautiful twenty-year-old girl.
I felt like a bad person and terribly guilty.
Fortunately, Mary didn't yell. She was angry, even contemptuous, but she still took me to the manager's office.
For the first time in my life, I wanted to be a bad person, a bad person who made this woman put down her pride in front of me and put away her indifferent and mocking face.
In the manager’s office, I met the manager of the battle hall and learned about the career I thought I had a future for—a career with a high salary, where I could exercise, work in a high-end place, have close contact with big shots, and broaden my horizons. what is the job.
That's a sparring partner, that job is in the fighting gym, and it has another name - human punching bag! The rich people who came to the war hall felt that playing with sandbags was not effective in exercising. They needed a moving sandbag for them to exercise. I was the moving sandbag.
The part-time hours of this profession are Monday, Wednesday, and Friday, from 6 to 11 pm every night. The hourly salary is 70 copper coins. If you are late every time, your work will be in vain. The salary is paid once a week, and there may be customers. tip.
On the day I went there, one of the original human punchbags in the war hall resigned, so in order to keep me, the war hall manager gave me an additional salary of 10 copper coins per hour.
I was beaten for 80 coppers an hour, and I did it!
This is my first job.
I took it.
The first time, I didn’t know what happened, but I was knocked unconscious in the battle hall. I slowly woke up after being carried out of the training classroom.
It was very late when I got home that day, and my father asked me why I came home a little late today.
I told him that a teacher at school introduced me to a part-time job. This job has a high salary, makes money, and good benefits. I can get to know many rich and powerful people. I can also exercise after work. There are many beautiful beauties in the place. One of the beauties I met today praised me for my ambition - the toad wants to eat swan meat!
Both parents laughed.
…
Now it seems that this encounter with Mary in the battle hall may be a preview of what I will encounter today. This preview is because God wants me to understand one thing.
—At some point in my life, a woman would turn me from a good guy to a bad guy.
Mary was the first, but she won't be the last. (A great pie-in-the-sky event, a cool mobile phone is waiting for you! Follow ~ click/public account (add friends on WeChat-add public account-enter dd), participate now! Everyone will win a prize, follow dd now WeChat official account!)
