Views:

Xi Wei has no fixed residence, and how to find a safe place has become a big problem. Wandering aimlessly is the most stupid choice.

It's fine when there is only one person, but it becomes less safe to have an eye-catching baby. First of all, this extra burden must be changed.

Xiwei walked and stopped carefully. There were reasons to avoid crowds as much as possible. The more important reason was that for him, Chino was very heavy, and he needed to constantly adjust his position to keep his arms less sore. So tired, you can take a breath.

Chino couldn't see Xi Wei, it didn't mean he didn't feel it, the protagonist's breath was not stable, and he could clearly hear the intense "thumping" of his heart from the position of his chest. He felt a little guilty and worried for a while.

Finally Xi Wei stopped, the surroundings were very quiet, he pulled the swaddling head slightly away, exposing Chino's face to the icy air, but quickly tucked around the baby's neck, so that he could Breathe freely without letting cold air get into your clothes.

Chino was indeed a little bored. Before, he didn't dare to express his discomfort for fear of being disgusted by the protagonist, but now he feels more comfortable. He quietly rolled his eyes and looked at the surrounding environment.

Yesa City is very rich in water resources, with various rivers criss-crossing each other, its splendor is comparable to the water city of Venice. There are many boats docked or floating on the water. Some of these boats are private, some are organized, some are gorgeous and some are simple. The common feature is that they are not large, because of the width of the river and the height of the arch bridge, ships that are too large cannot pass freely.

Now they were under some bridge in a river, where a humble boat was parked.

Simple boat is a very subtle adjective. In fact, this boat is very small and very small. The hull is wooden. The length is about twice the current height of Xiwei and Chino, and the width is only as high as Xiwei's height. The mini is like a model.

There are many scratches on the hull. It seems that after many collisions, the edges are full of deep and shallow pits, and the top of the awning above is broken with countless holes. Once it rains, it is estimated that it is the rhythm of heavy rain outside.

When Xi Wei took Kino to set foot on this small broken ship, Kino still couldn't believe that this dangerous ship that should have been scrapped for 800 years was their "house" in the future.

From the outside, the ship was broken and small. When I drilled into the cabin, I saw that it was a third-level dangerous ship. There were still traces of repairs on the bottom of the ship, and it looked like it would leak at any time.

If it wasn't for Kino's inability to speak, he would definitely grab Xi Wei and shake him awake. The protagonist, even sleeping on the snow would be better than sleeping on a boat like this. One problem is the rhythm of direct water burial!

Apparently Xi Wei didn't think so, and returning to a familiar location relaxed his tensed cheeks a little, and then began to change the shape of Kino's swaddling clothes.

He first laid Kino flat on the only dirty and unrecognizable tattered blanket in the cabin, and then expressionlessly ripped off the cloak left by the mother who was wrapping Kino on the outermost surface. Spread it out beside, then carefully take out the small dagger with a rolling blade, although it is very old, and start cutting the cloak into the shape of many strips and pieces of cloth.

Due to the bluntness of the dagger, the work took a long time to complete.

Then Xi Wei frowned slightly, took the dagger and began to make a vacuous gesture at Kino, Kino couldn't help being horrified.

Protagonist, you just took the dagger and divided the cloak. Next, you won't want to divide me. Wake up, it is the behavior of the big villain to change the child and eat, and the mud can't do this! It's not that all the villains have been abused so miserably. If they really become villains, they will be a thousand times more miserable!

However, he obviously thought too much. After a while, Xiwei used a dagger to cut the outermost swaddling clothes into tatters. In this way, he couldn't see the expensiveness at all. From the outside, it looked like a Although it was not as warm as the original one, it also lost the possibility of being coveted.

Don't doubt, in Ye Sacheng, even a complete baby swaddle with high-quality fabrics is at risk of being robbed.

As a local beggar in Ye Sa, Xi Wei is well versed in the way of survival here. Only by keeping a low profile and being cautious can he live safely.

After doing all this, even the protagonist feels very tired. His face has changed from unhealthy dishes to a little pale, and now he has obvious dark circles under his eyes. The brain entanglement fan said that he felt distressed and distressed. If it hadn't run into him, How could Xi Wei stay awake all night and give himself most of the rare food? After finally returning to his own nest, he was busy for so long.

Kino, who wanted to let the protagonist rest, deliberately called "Yiwu Yiwu" twice, and when Xi Wei gave him a cold look, he immediately opened his mouth and tried to yawn. Showed sleepy.

Xi Wei looked at the soft creature with a pitiful look on his face, and opened his small pink mouth to express his prayer for sleep. The little head pressed against his chest, and he really fell asleep.

The little baby's body is extremely soft, and there is a faint scent of milk on its body. It smells a little hungry, but it is very warm to hold. Xiwei slept for the first time in the world. Since birth, no one has been with him like this. They were as close as they were, and when the parents were still there, they were basically free-ranging. Apart from not letting him starve to death, they never fulfilled their parental responsibilities.

The same is true for Chino. Growing up in the orphanage, he felt that Xi Wei's thin body was unusually safe. The two extremely tired children slept very sweetly, and the two small bodies were tightly hugging each other, as if Only each other is left in the world.

In this sleep, I slept until the middle of the moon. In ordinary places, midnight is the time to rest, but in Ye Sa City, all the underground dark activities have just begun, and the ordinary river surface during the day has also changed. .

All kinds of ships lit up the magic stone lamps of ambiguous colors and walked freely on the river.

There are pretty girls sitting or standing on the bows of many boats. They are dressed in cool clothes, and they are almost not afraid of the cold. Afterwards, if the deal is made, it sticks into the cabin, and the boat re-enters the middle of the river.

For a time, there was a fragrant and charming atmosphere on the river.

Xi Wei was accustomed to this situation and didn't care at all, but when he found out that the little one was awake, he was satisfied that the child did not cry or make trouble, and fed two-thirds of the last bread in the most clumsy way. Afterwards, he ate the soiled crust and the remaining third.

The food just ran out.

Tonight, the cold wind is blowing, and the snow is floating again. I don't know how many people will be buried by the snow again.

Their boat was hidden under the bridge hole to avoid the fate of being shrouded in snow, but the awning full of holes could not stop the cold wind from attacking, Xi Wei instinctively hugged the only source of heat, absorbing a little warmth.

It's just that those black eyes are still indifferent, without the slightest emotion.

There were some debris piled up in the cabin, except for the dirty blankets lying on the bottom of the bilge, Xi Wei suddenly felt an unusual warmth in his middle finger.

He hesitantly raised his left hand in front of him, and carefully observed the extra ring through the moonlight leaking from the ceiling. It was forcibly put on by the desperate young noble mother. Wei almost forgot about this little thing, and when he thinks of it, he is reluctant to wear it.

He tucked Kino into his arms, and his two hands joined behind Xiao Budian, intending to take off the ring, but found that he couldn't hold it.

The seemingly ordinary black ring seemed to grow on his finger. No matter how hard he tried, he couldn't take it off. The expression on Xiwei's brows was even colder. If he couldn't take it off, he could almost imagine that soon His left middle finger and even his entire left hand could not be kept.

With no expression on his face, he exerted the utmost strength to capture the ring, but the ring remained motionless. In the end, he had no choice. He took out his precious dagger, hesitated a little, and began to slowly cut himself along the periphery of the ring. His fingers, the dark red blood stained the black ring, filling the pattern along the dark lines on the ring.

Xi Wei's pupils shrank slightly, and he could feel that there seemed to be a lot of spikes sticking out from the inside of the ring, directly piercing his fingers, and then sucking his blood.

The water was dripping into ice, but Xi Wei was sweating. Because of the fear and also because of the pain, he gritted his teeth tightly. The pain that penetrated into the bone marrow still caused him to leak a few broken moans from the gap between his teeth. Dissipated on the river, there were so many groans here that it didn't attract anyone's attention at all.

Kino was stunned, he couldn't see behind him, only the protagonist's still immature face was first serious, then dark, and finally turned into a twisted pain, grabbed his left hand and started in the cabin. roll.

Xi Wei's left hand was dripping with blood.

Kino was mad with anxiety, but he could only wave his weak hands and scream "Yiwu Yiwu" anxiously, but he couldn't do anything else.

Unconsciously, the little baby's face was full of tears.

The black ring was full of blood, exuding a blood-colored brilliance, reflecting Xi Wei's distorted face, looking a little hideous, but it quickly darkened and even disappeared.

Xi Wei was lying in a corner of the cabin, almost collapsed. His pupils were a little slack because of the extreme pain. Next to Kino, he turned Kino, who was facing the bilge with his back to the sky, and was startled when he saw his messy face.

A dry, hoarse voice sounded, "Don't... cry, I... won't... die."

Xi Wei used his dirty sleeves to rub Little Dot's face into a cat, and thoughtfully while wiping.

Apart from the dried blood, his hands were completely free of any wounds, and the strange ring had disappeared. Only the pattern on the middle finger that was identical to the pattern on the surface of the ring showed that everything before was not a dream.

It was very quiet for a while in the tattered cabin, and suddenly a timid voice said, "Who are you?"
