The next morning, Jin Yang woke up slowly on the soft bed, he blinked, a faint ray of sunlight shone on the bed through the gap in the window, reflecting his facial features a little fragile.
I don't know when the rain outside the window stopped. He slept soundly in the middle of the night last night and had no dreams. When he woke up, the rain had stopped, and he could no longer hear the sound of ticking. Infiltrate the house, and nothing else.
A few mottled images suddenly appeared in his mind. He abruptly stood up and glanced to the side. The bed was empty, and there were no figures, as if the outlines deeply imprinted in his mind last night were all imaginary bubbles.
He was slightly disappointed in his heart, and his arm sank as soon as he loosened his body, and at this moment, a hard object clung to his palm.
Jin Yang's heart trembled, he sat up and spread out his palms. He didn't have the fingers interlocked last night, but there was a small clay pottery rabbit doll, something Yin Yiliu had stuffed into his palm. .
His fingertips trembled, and he rubbed the smooth texture of the Taotu rabbit with his fingers, put it in front of his eyes and looked at it, and finally took it back into his pocket.
I do not know the dream, everything last night was not a dream.
He looked extremely embarrassed, the sweat soaked all over his body and the last soft and fiery kiss were real, and he could still feel the trembling when it landed on the corner of his lips.
Jin Yang has lived for more than 20 years. For the first time, he gave birth to this kind of joy with some anxiety about gain and loss. It seems that the stability and maturity of the past have become an illusion, like a hairy boy who is at a loss.
He got up and scratched his long hair, pacing in the bedroom and didn't dare to open the door. When he got to the door, he hesitated for a moment and put his ear to the door again, carefully listening to the movement outside the house.
Just after the ear was put on, a soft knock came to Jin Yang's ear through the wooden door, and the clear knock was like a thunderbolt hitting his heart, and his heart sank violently. He jumped, then stepped back abruptly.
Yin Yiliu's tentative voice came through the door, "Are you awake? Come out and have something to eat."
Jin Yang responded with a muffled sound, grabbed some messy hair with his hand, then grabbed the door handle and slowly twisted it open, only to hear a soft "click", and the door opened in response.
He walked out the door sullenly, just as he saw Yin Yiliu wearing a pink bunny apron, her eyes were bright and a little shy, and her eyes dodged for a moment.
In fact, last night Yin Yi Liu Qiang supported her sobbing and the sadness in her heart, and when she shivered and pressed the corner of Jin Yang's lips, she felt a little regretful in her heart, and at the same time, she was amazed at her boldness.
In the dark night, Jin Yang's whole body was cold, and the thin sweat soaked the broken hair in front of his forehead. His golden eyes were a little dim in the middle of the night. He looked like a big uneasy dog, with some pitiful and cute meaning.
So at that moment, the pity and love in Yin Yiliu's heart reached their peak. She took advantage of the startled sound of the rainy night and the surging emotion in her heart to kiss Jin Yang, her lips hot.
She was a little timid in her heart, afraid that her actions would be too offensive, but when she found out that Jin Yang was more shy than her, the already subtle breath suddenly became tense, and she gradually became more courageous, and slowly A thin upward kiss against the warm lips, very aggressive.
When Jin Yang gradually fell asleep, she felt a little shame in her heart, and blushed alone in the dark night. Her palm was still held by Jin Yang, the hot temperature on her face and the softness in her hands indicated that this was not a dream, she really kissed Jin Yang.
The man was lying on his side with his eyes closed, his face was very gentle, and his brows, which had been tight, were much gentler, and his obedience made his heart soften.
Yin Yiliu tentatively wanted to pull out her hand, but just after twitching, Jin Yang moved a little uneasily, so she didn't dare to pull it out, and slowly lay down on the open space beside Jin Yang's bed.
At night, a faint light penetrated from the curtains. With this light, Yin Yiliu's eyes traced Jin Yang's eyebrows, from the tightly closed eyes to the peaks of the eyebrows, to the tall nose and some pale eyes. lips.
I never imagined that the villain in the book who subverted the strong human group with the power of one person, and the killer who turned the Association of the Fallen upside down, had such a past when he was a child.
Her warm fingertips lightly tapped Jin Yang's sleeping lips, soft and soft like candy, she thought to herself 'I must treat him well'.
Until the sound of the rain gradually stopped, Jin Yang also really calmed down, the sky gradually became brighter, and the shimmering light of the morning and sunset outside the window penetrated the curtain.
Yin Yiliu looked at his eyebrows, her heart was suddenly a little flustered, she was not ready to open her eyes to Jin Yang and was on the same bed, she swallowed and moved her arms to pull out her palm.
But Jin Yang's grip was too tight, and just halfway out, the man's originally peaceful sleeping face frowned slightly, and she didn't dare to move.
After a long pause, Yin Yiliu pulled the pendant hanging from his neck with his other hand and stuffed it into Jin Yang's palm, making sure that he hadn't woken up, so he got out of bed gently and returned to his bedroom.
She tossed and turned on the bed, unable to fall asleep. Looking out the bright window, she got up and changed her clothes, and went to the kitchen to make some food for Jin Yang.
At this time, Jin Yang came out of Weiwei's bedroom. Although both of them were a little shy in their hearts, Jin Yang was the first to be confused. His golden eyes drooped slightly, his lips opened and closed several times, but he didn't know what to say. What, in the end, I could only pretend to be calm and slowly walk to the table and sit.
It's a pity that his uncoordinated steps and tense muscles betray his nervousness.
Yin Yiliu was originally a little nervous in her heart, and she didn't know how to face it, but when she looked at the man who was obviously more nervous than herself, she suddenly became more courageous, and the corners of her lips were slightly raised.
Yan Wen, who got up, obediently walked out of her small bedroom and brushed her teeth and washed her face with the help of Yin Yiliu. She lived here for two days and was very obedient and did not cry. It seemed that she knew about Yan Yongguo. Something might have happened, and there was no crying for grandpa.
At this time, she was carried to the dining table, Yin Yiliu put a bowl of tomato noodles in a small bowl in front of her, and another bowl for Jin Yang.
Children's ability to observe and perceive is very keen, especially in an unfamiliar environment, which makes Yan Wen very sensitive to the changes of the two older brothers and sisters. She can feel the strangeness between the two today.
She couldn't tell exactly where she was to blame.
Probably because Sister Yin always secretly went to see the handsome but scary brother, but the elder brother was just burying his head and eating noodles, and his ears were red.
She sucked and ate the food in the bowl. In order to cater to the children's taste, Yin Yiliu specially made a very cute poached egg, but in fact, even if she didn't make it, Yan Wen would obediently finish it.
Because she had tasted what it was like to be hungry, and it was not a good feeling.
Just as she was holding a small spoon and slowly put food into her mouth, the door of the house was suddenly knocked from outside, Yin Yiliu looked up and looked at Jin Yang, who would come to them early in the morning.
Could it be that Shen Zhiyu's minions came to challenge things again
Yin Yiliu got up and glanced out the window, only to see a corner of her clothes, and there was only one person outside, she asked "Who?" but no one answered.
As soon as the door opened, she was a little stunned, "Yan...Old man?"
The hair of the old man in front of him seemed to have turned a lot gray in two days. He was wearing a somewhat tattered jacket, and the thick gauze around his waist was still bleeding. The most serious one was his left side. The legs, which disappeared directly from the knees, were supporting a self-made brace at this time, with a cramped look on the face full of creases.
There was the sound of tables and stools colliding in the living room behind him. Yin Yiliu turned around and saw that Yan Wen had just jumped off the chair that was a little high for her, and staggered to the door with her small body supported.
As soon as she saw Yan Yongguo, she pursed her lips and began to cry. Then she looked at her grandfather's lost left leg and the injuries all over her body. She couldn't help standing by the door and crying.
Yan Yongguo was a little helpless and moved forward as he propped his body forward. Obviously, he was not used to how to control his body when he lost his legs.
Yan Wen, a five-year-old child, no matter how well-behaved and sensible, was brought into a strange environment to face strangers. It is impossible to say that she is not afraid, but she has been holding it back until she sees the closest person. , the fear and grievances in my heart were immediately vented.
After a long time, the little girl choked on Yan Yongguo and was unwilling to let go, as if the old man would disappear again as soon as she let go.
Yan Yongguo smiled awkwardly. Looking at his granddaughter's clean clothes and rosy complexion, he knew that Yin Yiliu and Jin Yang were good to her.
He was very grateful to these two young people. His body was really unable to move for the past two days, because even a fifth-level evolutionary person fell ill because he lost his legs.
If Yin Yiliu and Jin Yang hadn't taken Yan Wen away, Shen Zhiyu would probably have been caught by Shen Zhiyu to feed the fifth-level mutant beasts in the river.
After he was able to get out of bed and walk around, he couldn't bear it any longer, and immediately found Yin Yiliu's residence and came to pick up Yan Wen.
Yin Yiliu invited Yan Yongguo to the house, and only then did she know what happened to him in the past two days. Although the old man never mentioned his injuries, she could also guess that it was the hand of Shen Zhiyu's minions that day.
After Yan Yongguo was seriously injured, his body automatically went into a state of shock, and he lay on the ground stiffly. When he opened his eyes again, it was a small, cramped house, with unbearable pain all over his body, and Yan Wen disappeared.
He struggled to get up, but was pressed on the bed by someone who heard the movement.
It was not someone else who saved him, but the owner next door to the small shop he opened—the one who sold brown rice cakes with a lisp, he vaguely expressed that he had accepted the help of the Yan family, so he couldn’t watch Yan Yongguo die in his own life. in front of you.
In this way, Yan Yongguo can't help but sigh, it turns out that good people are not really unrewarded.
After learning that Yin Yiliu and Jin Yang rescued Yan Wen from Shen Zhiyu's hands, his anxiety was relieved a lot, and he came to this small yard as soon as he recovered.
"Thank you for your willingness to help Wenwen. If she is picked up by that dog thief, I really don't know how to deal with her dead parents."
The old man was full of wounds at his age, and said that his dead son and daughter-in-law looked even more bleak.
"It's serious, it's just a matter of time for us. It's not good for us to see such a small child go like that."
At this time, Yin Yiliu suddenly remembered that today is the day to pay homage to the "River God" once every three months, that is, the day when the city is closed. If Shen Zhiyu can't catch Yan Wen, will this cruel activity stop.
She asked a question, but when she saw the old man's expression was solemn and did not speak, she had a bad premonition in her heart.
The sun outside the window gradually became stronger, and there were more voices. It seemed that after a heavy rain, the whole earth was washed clean, and even the voices of the people on both sides of the road were much clearer.
Yin Yiliu heard the faint noise, she got up and glanced out the window, and saw that someone seemed to be arguing about something outside the yard, but it was not too close to hear clearly, she was sure that the sound was not loud after the heavy rain , but there is indeed someone in front of the house.
A middle-aged woman whose husband died after the end of the world is a famous woman in this street. She relies on her skin and flesh to support her daughter. Although she looks very coquettish and coquettish on weekdays, she treats her precious daughter as a girl. Heart and liver pain.
The well-dressed woman in the past was unkempt today, with dry tears on her face, and her eyes were red and swollen. She almost fainted from crying, beating her thighs desperately.
"Why should I put my daughter to death! She is only fourteen years old! This is killing me, let me die in my daughter's place!"
The woman cried and shouted, and there was a person watching the play next to the small detached house with the door closed, and she felt a little worried, holding the woman's arm to prevent her from being impulsive.
"Don't be stupid, big sister, that family is someone who even the lord dare not move. If you anger them, I'm afraid there will be no good fruit to eat."
"Yes, yes, this person's life is more important than anything else."
Although it is said that, for a woman, the whole meaning of her life is to pull her daughter well. She can be dirty, but her daughter should grow up like a flower.
Just because the daughter of the Yan family was supported by a big man, she avoided the fate of filling the river, but instead she had to take her own daughter.
Although the woman knew this kind of thing, no wonder this family and Yan Yongguo could not accept it, and she was full of hatred for Yan Yongguo and Yin Yiliu in her heart.
To put it badly, her daughter died for Yan Wen. Although Lord Yan took good care of ordinary people like them when he was there, it didn't mean that she was willing to use her daughter's life to be grateful.
If the hope of living is gone, then what is she afraid of.
So the woman ignored the people around her who discouraged her, and began to talk about her hard life on her own, wailing and weeping.
Yan Yongguo in the room listened silently without saying a word.
He felt itchy in his hands and itchy throat. He wanted to find his hookah and take a couple of puffs, so as to suppress the irritability and discomfort in his heart, but there was nothing at hand.
His fingers were rubbing unconsciously, and Yan Wen, who was beside him, noticed Grandpa's anxiety, raised a pair of watery eyes and looked at the old man. She didn't have such a sensitive hearing, and could not hear the noise outside, nor did she Knowing that although he escaped the catastrophe, there was another girl who fell into the sky without any calamity.
Looking at his granddaughter's ignorant eyes, Yan Yongguo's heart was even more painful. He had a clear conscience for the rest of his life, but after today, he can no longer say that.
Because he knew that there was a living life that was about to disappear before his eyes, but he could do nothing, did not stop it, and couldn't stop it.
If it was his selfishness, he would admit it, because he really couldn't watch Yan Wen die like that.
The old man's complexion became more and more bitter, and his heart felt like a needle pierced when he listened to those cursing and crying.
Even Yin Yiliu didn't speak for a long time.
She rescued a girl, but because of this, another girl was pushed into the abyss of death.
Although she is not the murderer who directly caused the result, she is responsible for it.
During their time in Rongcheng, Yin Yiliu and Jin Yang actually lived a very peaceful life. Except for some not so good people, they also met many new friends.
Old Liu, who has been selling fabrics and skins in front of the next door, will touch Jin Yang's robe enviously. Sister Wang, who is in the skin and meat business, will secretly bite her ears and let her seize the opportunity to be brave, as well as Zhou Lan and others.
This kind of days full of fireworks and popularity has never been seen before. It is different from fighting day and night, but in addition to eating, drinking and fishing every day, she also feels a bit of loneliness.
Not only her, but also Jin Yang.
This small city accommodates them, but it is also somewhat incompatible with them. There are no mutant creatures that require them to be nervous, and there are no so-called Originium Fallen. Yin Yiliu could not find the motivation to continue to move forward and become stronger.
She once thought about why she was the one who traveled through it, and why some people obtained extremely high abilities.
Everything is incomprehensible, and God has his own choice.
But when a person is in a high position, or obtains something that is difficult for ordinary people to obtain, it seems that there is more to bear.
There were still some crying outside the window. The crowd of onlookers didn't seem to provoke these evolutionary people. After a few glances, they left silently, and groups of pedestrians came and went, looking out the door. The woman slumped on the ground with dull eyes shook her head and left.
Suddenly, the door of the room, which had not been moving, opened from inside, and a young woman slowly paced up to the woman.
The woman saw a pair of shiny and fine leather boots. She knew that the owner of the house had come out. She had thought about yelling or fighting, but at this moment she suddenly lost her strength.
In any case, his daughter can't come back, what's the point.
So the woman didn't move, her dazed expression turned gray, she didn't care whether the young woman came out to drive her away, or beat and scolded her, she just sat quietly.
Suddenly, the straight and slender legs in front of her bent down, and a young and beautiful face broke into the woman's sight. When the woman squatted down on one knee, the armor and cloak on her body were slightly raised, making her look very capable.
The woman's eyes were so sore, she hoped that her daughter could become such a person, but she couldn't.
At this moment, the woman's eyes were sincere, and she said word by word, "Sorry, I didn't know your daughter would be arrested. Has the sacrificial operation started now?"
The woman didn't seem to hear clearly, she was stunned for a while, and she pondered the words several times in her heart, and she actually showed an ecstatic look.
She didn't care to wipe away her tears and snot, she stammered, and grabbed Yin Yiliu's cloak with both hands.
"Yet, not yet! It starts at noon..."
As soon as the woman finished speaking, Yin Yiliu nodded slightly. She stood up and walked quickly to the handsome man who had been waiting silently behind her. The two rushed out of the city gate one after the other.
The woman was stunned for a long time, and her body softened and sat on the ground. She suddenly covered her face, never looking forward to tomorrow.
In the room, Yan Yongguo hugged Yan Wen tightly in his arms, with tears in his cloudy eyes, and after a long while he stamped a heavy kiss on the top of his granddaughter's head.
Yan Wen seemed to understand, but she patted her grandfather's shoulder with her small hand, but neither grandfather nor grandson spoke.
Just before rushing out of the room, Jin Yang, who had never said a word about this kind of thing, suddenly looked at Yin Yiliu very seriously, he smiled lightly: "Do what you want to do."
So Yin Yiliu hugged the bewildered man deeply and placed a loud kiss on his chin. Eyes, heart is particularly sore.
This man is very good, he has been tolerant of her willfulness, and she suddenly doesn't want to wait any longer.
When the dust settles this time, it may be time to say some unspeakable words hidden in the heart.
Outside the city gate, there were huge ripples under the moat, which had always been quiet and peaceful, and there were some huge creatures wandering in the river, causing ripples.
It was a pity that it rained heavily last night, and the water level of the river rose a lot overnight, and even the swamp by the river became a little deeper.
In the sky, there is a bird xenogeneic with two wings on its back. It has completely morphed into a huge bird. It flaps its wings, and from top to bottom, it can see the deep hidden river water. A huge black shadow, more than ten meters long.
The faint purple electricity flows thinly on the river surface, and as long as it falls, it is an abyss.
There were a few people standing on the back of the bird, the head of which gave birth to a mouse-like appearance, and a pair of gloomy and shrewd mung bean eyes looked at the moat under them, and shouted loudly: "It was promised once in three months, I hope you can also abide by the agreement. "
The subordinates around him showed no pity. They twisted a girl's shoulders tightly and pressed her shoulders down. The pain and panic in her heart made her shiver and cry silently.
She felt a little despair in her heart. From the moment she was taken away, she knew her fate, that is, to fill in this deep river and be swallowed by the mutant beast.
How could an underage girl be able to outsmart a strong man with evolutionary ability, she widened her eyes and stared blankly at the giant shadow beneath her.
Wouldn't it hurt so much if bitten off, and would she have an afterlife
If it ever happened, she would never want to be reborn in this terrible apocalypse again, she just wanted to live in peace with her mother.
Above Fancheng in the distance, the evolutionary man with excellent eyesight silently looked at the avian aliens on the river in the distance, and reported to the lord beside him, "It's not Yan Wen, it's another little girl."
Xu Xin was relieved for a moment, but then, he was silent again.
Whether it was Yan Wen or any other child, such cruel activities were unacceptable.
He didn't know how to stop it, and he didn't know how to stop the mutant beast that angered the beast. Xu Xin weakly beat the wall in front of him.
Noon came soon, the sun was no longer blocked by the heavy clouds, and the golden sunlight was sprinkled with heat, making the water more sparkling.
The giant beasts below the river swam faster, and the originally small fluctuations of the lake suddenly began to show huge ripples, with tiny splashes of water, and the scene below the lake could be faintly seen.
When Shen Zhiyu knew that the time was up, the people around him made a gesture, and the people around him immediately understood.
The girl's eyes widened, she felt a pair of hands pushing her back hard, she screamed and her body fell.
The sense of weightlessness made her dizzy. In this brief light and shadow, there was a huge electric eel with a body thicker than a bus that jumped out of the water for a few meters. It was huge and covered with sharp serrated teeth. With a fierce bite towards the sky, he was about to smash the falling girl in his mouth.
In the flash of lightning, a giant mutant bird let out a long whistle. It flew very fast, like a brown afterimage, quickly skipping the huge mouth of the abyss where the mutant electric eel was scurrying up, almost sticking to its fangs. .
A young woman on the bird's back stretched out her hand to fish, and firmly embraced the girl who had fallen from the air in her arms.
The mutant electric eel flew into the air, and its huge body was like water, causing a huge wave to rise on the water.
The lake was surging, and the surroundings were dead silent.
