Fragrance Gu Emperor

() Although it turned into a zerg, the pain from the multiple tentacles made Chang Zhen very uncomfortable.At the same time, he found that his headaches continued, and negative physical conditions such as excessive blood loss made him feel that he might faint at any time.

Chang Zhen was worried about the return of the wolf boss, so he tried his best not to faint, but he knew he had to take a break to recover from his injuries.After pondering for a long time, he relied on tentacles with great difficulty to lead Shen Mingyue's snake body to the grass farther away, and then completely demonized and turned into a zerg. As for whether the wolf boss will return, whether he can be found when he returns, Then there is only resignation.

Chang Zhen fell asleep hazily, and then began to dream.

In the dream, he was a six or seven-year-old child, standing in the street all dirty, looking around, as if hoping for something.There is a little girl behind him, about his age, pulling his clothes, and seems to be very attached to him.Chang Zhen felt that this girl was very familiar and beautiful, except for the deep scar on her throat which was a bit ugly.

It was very late at this time, and there were no pedestrians on the street.Finally a woman passed by, Chang Zhen immediately stepped forward and hugged her.

"My aunt, please do me a favor. Both my sister and I have lost our parents, and we've been living on the streets. We haven't eaten for three days."

The woman glanced at Chang Zhen, and then at the girl next to Chang Zhen. She felt that the two children were sallow and emaciated, and they were very pitiful.She sighed, took out a penny to Chang Zhen and said, "Take it to buy a steamed bun."

"Thank you benefactor! My sister is dumb, so I can't thank you. Please forgive me." Chang Zhen bowed, and the girl behind him also bowed.

"You're welcome, poor child." The woman shook her hand and walked away.

Seeing the woman leave, Chang Zhen spread out his palms with a smile, not a penny in his hand, but two pennies.He put the two cents in his pocket, the pocket was bulging, it seemed that there was no shortage of money.

Seeing that Chang Zhen had two pennies in his hand, the girl immediately pulled him hard twice, gesticulating with her hands, with a very dissatisfied expression on her face.

Chang Zhen smiled and said: "Sister, I know this auntie is a good person, so I only stole a penny from her, it's no big deal, don't tell mother when you go back."

The girl pouted.

"Okay, okay, if I didn't see that it was too late and I couldn't complete the task, otherwise I wouldn't steal it." Chang Zhen smiled at the girl, then dragged her to the corner of the street, and started counting the money : "One, two, three... 79, [-]. Sister, there are [-] letters in total, am I right?"

The girl called elder sister shook her head, stretched out her hands for a seven, and then a nine.

Seeing his sister compare 79, Chang Zhen frowned, then smiled and said: "Forget it, 79 is 79. It's so late, there is no one on the street, we can't get money. Mother won't let us Steal, or go home."

Hearing Chang Zhen said that she wanted to go back, the girl looked reluctant, and then pointed to the empty long street, as if she wanted to wait for someone to come out and ask for another penny.

Chang Zhen said: "There is no need to wait any longer, there is no benefactor. Anyway, a few pennies a day is just right, so as to save the task and increase it. Besides, if you earn more money, Dad will lose it immediately, it doesn't make any difference."

The girl shook her head, stretched out her small hand and patted Chang Zhen's butt twice.

Chang Zhen smiled and said, "It's okay, I have a thick skin, and it will be uncomfortable if I don't get beaten for a day."

After Chang Zhen finished speaking, he took the girl's hand and strode towards another street. While walking, he counted out [-] Wen from his pocket and stuffed it into the girl's pocket: "This is yours, take it!" .”

The girl silently took out a penny from her pocket, and wanted to return it to Chang Zhen, but Chang Zhen refused to accept it, and instead said anxiously: "You have endless things, you do this every day, you push and push, do you still want to treat me as your own brother?" ?”

The girl had no choice but to put away the money and walk beside Chang Zhen silently.

Seeing the scene where he and the girl were giving away a penny, Chang Zhen suddenly remembered that this little boy was him when he was a child, and the girl was his sister Chang Yu.This dream is not a dream, but a memory from his childhood.

When they were young, Chang Zhen and his sister were forced by their father to beg for money every day, and they had to get forty cash before they could go home.If you lose a penny, you will be punished heavily.

Chang Yu is dumb, can't speak, and is honest and shy. When begging for money, he doesn't look at people's faces and is often beaten.After being beaten, she couldn't say anything and could only cry silently.Seeing her pitiful, Chang Zhen felt that his sister should be protected, so he took their share of the begging money, and only asked his sister to follow him and wait for the money to be shared.

From then on, Chang Zhen had to ask for money from the two of them every day, and then distributed forty cash to his sister.However, begging for eighty coins alone is really a difficult task, so besides begging, he also cheats and robs every day to earn some extra money.And every time this time, Chang Yu would not be very happy, because Mother would not allow them to do this.

Chang Zhen took his sister's hand and walked home. After walking for a while, a barbecue stand appeared on the side of the road.Chang Zhen knew that the owner of the stall was Uncle Li, his neighbor, so he greeted him, "Hello, Uncle Li!"

Uncle Li, who sells barbecue, saw Chang Zhen, and immediately smiled and said: "Chang Zhen, you little liar, don't even think about asking for things from me again. I'm a small business, and I can't afford it."

Chang Zhen said: "I don't want it from you, I'll buy a skewer of meat, okay?"

As he said that, Chang Zhen took out two Wen, which was exactly the price of a bunch of meat skewers.

Seeing that Chang Zhen took out the money, Chang Yu immediately went to hold his hand and refused to let him buy it.Because the money they handed over is not enough, and if they buy food, they will only suffer more boards.

But Chang Zhen shook his head and said, "Sister, it's okay, you'll suffer once, and you'll suffer three times, it's fine."

Uncle Li took Chang Zhen's two pennies and gave him a kebab.

Chang Zhen got the meat skewers but didn't eat them, but handed them to Chang Yu.Because he felt that his sister would be upset if he stole money just now and was seen by his sister, so he wanted to coax her.

"Sister, eat quickly, don't let others see." Chang Zhen said.

Seeing that Chang Zhen only bought one bunch for herself, Chang Yu refused to eat it, so she also took out a couple of coins from her pocket and handed it to Uncle Li, gesticulating to buy another bunch.At this time, Chang Zhen pulled her desperately, and said to Uncle Li: "My sister won't buy it, so don't take her money."

Uncle Li sighed, knowing that the two children were pitiful, so he took a meat skewer and said, "I gave this to your sister, you guys go away! I think you are going to be beaten again."

"Thank you, Uncle Li!" Chang Zhen yelled happily, and Chang Yu and Chang Yu each took a meat skewer and devoured it, obviously extremely hungry.

Looking quietly at the past when he was a child, Chang Zhen suddenly discovered that Uncle Li, who always felt a little fierce when he was a child, was also very kind to him and his sister.He smiled slightly, feeling warm in his heart.

After eating the skewers, the siblings walked for a while, and finally returned to the door of the house.Before entering the door, his father Chang Shan was already squatting at the door waiting for them.

Chang Shan is ignorant, impoverished, and especially fond of gambling.Every day, he forces his two sons and daughters to come out to ask for money, and after asking for money, they will take it to the casino to lose a fortune.

Seeing Chang Zhen's return now, Chang Shan said with a straight face: "You two little bastards came back so late, did you ask me for money?"

Chang Zhen said: "Father, there are few benevolent people on the street today, and money is not easy to ask for. You can't blame us."

Chang Shan said with a sullen face: "Stop talking nonsense, bring me the money!"

Chang Yu walked forward silently, and handed over the money in her pocket to Chang Shan. Her eyes were wide open, and she was a little uneasy, because she didn't know if her father would make trouble.

Chang Shan counted, frowned, and said, "Forty Wen again? Why is it such a coincidence every time? You won't be lazy?"

Chang Zhen immediately said: "My sister is not lazy. My sister has already tried her best to ask for it. Dad, my sister can't talk. It's already amazing to ask for so much every day. Don't make things difficult for her."

Chang Shan glanced at the deep scar on his daughter's throat, and seemed to have a conscience.He ignored Chang Yu, turned his head to Chang Zhen and said, "Where's yours?"

Chang Zhen hurriedly handed over his own money, and said with a smile: "I also have forty coins, dad, you don't need to count, so as not to waste time."

Chang Shan ignored him, took the money and counted it carefully, and then angrily said: "Why is there only 37 Wen?"

Chang Zhen pretended to be puzzled and said: "No, father, if you count it again, it is forty coins. Did I lose a few coins on the way? Sister, did you see that I lost the money?"

Chang Yu knew that Chang Zhen was lying, but she had no choice but to cooperate with him and shook her head.

Chang Shan said angrily: "Stop talking nonsense, I asked you to ask for 37 Wen, and you asked me for [-] Wen? Not even a dumb person! Get down on your knees, remember how I said it?"

Chang Zhen swallowed his saliva, knelt on the ground and bowed his head, saying: "Remember, one penny is missing, one board. But dad, I really want forty pennies, and the three are missing. I will make up for it tomorrow. Can you write it down first?" ...Alas!"

Snapped!Snapped!Snapped!Chang Shan didn't listen to Chang Zhen's excuse, picked up the bamboo board behind the door, gave Chang Zhen's butt three slaps, and said sharply: "I'll have enough for tomorrow, don't be lazy, or I'll beat you even harder! I don't believe that you are worse than a mute!"

"Yes, Dad." Chang Zhen rubbed his butt and replied.

Seeing this scene in memory, Chang Zhen couldn't help smiling wryly.When I was young, I was really stupid, to tell such an obvious lie to my father, it was purely for beating.

Chang Shan no longer cared about his son and daughter, counted the money again on his own, and ran to the casino excitedly.At that time, Chang Zhen felt that this would be an ordinary day. It would not take long for his father to lose all his money and then run home.

But now Chang Zhen recalled this memory, and suddenly felt that something special was going to happen that day, otherwise he would not be able to remember this day so clearly.

Chang Zhen continued to follow his childhood memories, wandering in his dreams.He took three boards from his father and couldn't stand up a little bit.His elder sister, Chang Yu, supported him before he managed to stand up straight.Seeing her sister's concerned eyes, Chang Zhen squeezed out a smile and said, "It's okay, sister, I'm used to it, and it doesn't hurt at all."

Chang Yu bit her lips silently, not knowing what was going on in her heart.

At this time, a weak voice in the room called out: "Xiao Mao, Xiao Hu, are you back?"

Hearing this voice, the siblings shook their spirits in unison.Xiaomao and Xiaohu are the nicknames of Chang Yu and Chang Zhen, but only their parents call them that.

"Mom!" Chang Zhen called out happily, and then went into the back room with his sister.

"Cough, cough, cough..." On the bed in the inner room, a pale woman was half lying on the bed, holding the head of the bed and coughing vigorously.Every time she coughed, her face became paler, but she couldn't stop coughing.

After a long time, the woman stopped coughing and said to the two, "Are you being beaten again?"

Chang Zhen said proudly: "Mother, I was the only one who was beaten, not my sister."

The woman coughed for a while, and Fang said: "Xiaohu, you are a man, and your sister can't speak, so you have to take care of her."

Chang Zhen nodded and said, "Yes, mother."

The woman said again: "Don't blame your father for beating you. Even though he did something wrong, it was all mother's fault. If mother hadn't been sick all the time and spent all the money in the family, he wouldn't have He wanted to make money by gambling. In the end, he didn't win the money, but got deeper and deeper... Sigh!"

Chang Zhen said: "Mother, I don't blame Dad. It's only natural for a father to beat his son. Besides, if you get beaten twice, you won't lose a piece of meat."

"Ahem..." The woman coughed violently again, and then said, "Come here, you two, and I will continue to teach you how to read and write. Mother only hopes that you can recognize all the characters before she dies."

The two siblings approached the woman obediently, and the woman was holding a bamboo stick, writing and drawing on the ground under the bed, teaching them.The two children are also very serious about learning.

After an unknown amount of time, Chang Zhen saw his mother coughing all the time, and said with a bit of heartache: "Mom, my sister and I have already learned it, so you don't need to teach it anymore."

"Really?" The woman looked at her son and then at her daughter.

Seeing her mother looking at her, Chang Yu nodded as well, expressing that she understood what she taught her.

The woman knows that her daughter is very intelligent, but her son will inevitably steal and play tricks.She asked Chang Zhen: "Since you said you will, I will test you. How many ways are there to write the word fen in fennel beans?"

"Ah? This..." Chang Zhen scratched his head with a dazed expression.

This should have been an extremely warm memory, but Chang Zhen, who was in the memory at this moment, was a little nervous, because he felt that something special was about to happen.

Sure enough, when Chang Zhen couldn't answer the question, Li Erzhu's voice from the opposite door suddenly came from outside the door: "It's not good, it's not good, sister-in-law of the Chang family, brother Chang Shan was beaten to death!"

Hearing that Chang Shan was beaten to death, the mother and son panicked immediately.

The thing is like this, Chang Shan took 77 Wen to gamble, and lost it in a short while.So he wanted to borrow other people's money to make up for it.Everyone knew that he was a poor man and refused to lend him money.

Normally, when encountering such a situation, Chang Shan could only go home disheartened, but today it happened that the leader of the Haisha Gang, Peng Gang, was present, so it was a little different.Peng Gang, as the leader of the Haisha Gang, is the veritable boss of Chuncheng.He was not afraid to lend money to anyone, because no one would dare not repay the money he lent.

Chang Shan was so obsessed with ghosts that he actually borrowed money from Gang Leader Peng, and the borrowed money was quickly lost by him.At this time, Lord Peng heard that he had a pair of children, so he asked him to use the children to pay off the debt.Chang Shan's conscience found out that he refused to let his children repay the debt, so he ordered Peng Gang and his subordinates to beat him to death.No one will have any objection to Peng's killing, even though Chang Shan died wronged, he can only admit it.

A kind neighbor helped to transport his body back. Chang Zhen's mother, who was already seriously ill, coughed up a mouthful of blood, and then passed out.

"Mother, mother..." Although Chang Yu and Chang Zhen's siblings are strong, they are still just children.Seeing his father died and his mother fainted, they all burst into tears.

After a long time, Chang Zhen's mother finally woke up leisurely.The woman said to Chang Yu and Chang Zhen: "I can't do it anymore. I thought I would die in front of your father, but I didn't expect to die behind. That's fine, your father and I haven't taken good care of you all these years. you."

"Mom, you have been very kind to us." Chang Zhen cried, "It's all Xiaohu's fault. If I ask for a few more pennies, Dad won't borrow from others..."

While crying, Chang Yu nodded vigorously, expressing her agreement with her younger brother's words.

"It's none of your business, it's his own fault." Chang Zhen's mother said weakly, "Your father didn't lose all his conscience, he would rather be beaten to death than take the last valuable thing in the house Go change money."

Chang Zhen wiped away his tears, and said in surprise, "Mother, do we still have valuable things at home?"

"There is one, but it's not ours. Xiaohu, go to the box under the bed and get a red cloth bag from the bottom of the box."

Chang Zhen quickly took a red envelope and handed it to his mother.

The woman took the red envelope and said slowly while coughing: "Little cat, come here, mother has something to tell you. Originally, I wanted to wait until you grow up to tell you, but now it seems that if I don't say it, I have no chance." gone."

Chang Yu came to the woman and looked at her with wide eyes.

The woman said to her daughter: "Little cat, you are actually not my own flesh and blood, but a child your father picked up outside."

Hearing such news, the girl suddenly opened her mouth wide, but couldn't make any sound.

The woman said: "When I picked you up, your throat was already cut, and your father and I don't know why. Besides, you still wear this piece of jade on your body, and I have been keeping it for you. I want to give it to you when you grow up..."

The woman opened the red envelope and saw a piece of jade in it.This jade is crystal clear, and it is not ordinary at first glance. In the middle of the jade, there is a word "Rain", which is why Chang Yu's name comes from.

"Hold it..." The woman handed the jade to the girl, "Little cat, I don't know who your parents are, but I have always regarded you as my own daughter, and I have always taught Xiaohu to treat you well. I If you are gone, there will be only you two siblings left in this world, ahem... I hope you will love each other whether you are real siblings or not..."

The girl nodded vigorously while crying, and before she could pick up the jade, she heard her mother cough twice again, her hand dropped to the ground, and the jade in her hand slipped off.This time she fainted, and the woman never woke up again.

"Mom!..." The parents died on the same day, and the two helpless children cried to the two corpses.
