death of hope

Chapter 829: "Wild Growth" (245) The past is like smoke

Chen Hong heard a series of wailing and screaming behind her. It seemed that the protective clothing of the staff was not airtight.

She didn't look back, but just dragged her wounded body forward.

Long before the duel with Tang Zhennan, she had made a decision. In order to avenge the elders of the Chen clan who died at the hands of Tang Zhennan's sword, and also to protect the young master and save the Shanwang Society, she would fight at the risk of everything, regardless of life and death.

Long before she went on stage, Chen Hong regarded herself as a dead person. She also secretly wrote a suicide note and placed it in a drawer of the office. On it was written the words she had always wanted to say to the young master but was too embarrassed to say.

Now that the clan's revenge has been achieved, it feels like a huge rock has fallen to the ground. What she is most concerned about at this moment is the safety of the young master.

(Walk faster, you useless piece of shit!)
She was so harsh on herself that she felt like a lame, useless donkey that couldn't pull the millstone.

·
There were poisonous insects constantly falling onto Chen Hong's body, trying to crawl into her nostrils, ears or wounds.

They were all cut down by her sharp "Tanyuan Sword". Assassin's martial arts do not focus on strength, but on skills and precision. Cutting a melon seed in mid-air is considered a basic skill, and it came in handy at this time.

This was not a complete victory. Tang Zhennan had severely injured her. Her trouser legs were stained with blood, and every step she took left a bloody footprint.

The buzzing sound of the flapping membranous wings behind her was like a ghost chasing her death, making her feel upset.

Walking from the center of the field to the sidelines, this distance seemed to be within reach, but now it felt like a thousand miles away. It was the longest and most difficult journey she had ever walked.

(Young Master... I will save you... with my own hands...)
·
Due to blood loss and excessive fatigue, Chen Hong was confused and had hallucinations. The past flashed before her eyes like smoke;

When she was little, she was short and fat, had dark skin, stuttered, and was slow at doing things. Her father was not around.
He was often teased and bullied by the naughty kids in Chenjia Village, and only his brother and his friends were willing to support him.

Even the livestock raised in the village disliked little Chen Hong. When the big buffalo saw her from a distance, it mooed, turned around and walked away with its tail wagging in disgust.

One time, when she was walking home from private school, she was chased by a group of barking wild dogs. She was terrified. She was fat and had short legs, so she couldn't run. In a panic, she jumped into the river. After swallowing a few gulps of water and struggling a few times, she almost drowned.

At that time, brother Chen Xing was practicing in a martial arts gym. His best friend Shan Shangche was also on summer vacation. He came to Chenjiazhuang to cool off and vacation. He happened to be fishing nearby. The boy didn't think twice, threw down his fishing rod and jumped in to save the man.

·
This is extremely dangerous. Due to the survival instinct of living things, once a drowning person grabs a glimmer of hope, he will not let go and will become a huge burden. Many rescuers who are not good at swimming are dragged into the water and drowned.
Moreover, at that time, Che was just a young boy who had only practiced dog paddling in the swimming pool a few times and had just learned how to breathe.
He couldn't swim well in a two-meter-deep swimming pool with no wind or waves, let alone swimming in a ten-meter-deep canal with wind, waves and aquatic plants to save people.

Under such a difficult situation, the young boy Yamagami Toru accomplished a feat that even adults could hardly do. He not only dragged the drowning girl to shore, but also used CPR to help her spit out the river water and mud that had accumulated in her lungs.

Seeing that little Chen Hong had regained her spontaneous breathing, the young boy Yamagami Che stopped a passing three-wheeled agricultural vehicle, carried the still unconscious girl into the vehicle, and sent her to the township hospital for treatment to avoid any sequelae.

When the village chief, Chen Xing and others arrived at the hospital, Che realized that the girl covered in mud was actually Xiaohong, the younger sister of his best friend Chen Xing.

·
After this incident, Chen Xing and Che also burned yellow paper and drank blood wine to swear brotherhood, becoming blood brothers who would stand together through thick and thin.
The naughty Che also received a certificate and a banner for the first time. During the last days of summer vacation, he showed off to everyone he met, as if he had performed a great deed and become the Grand Marshal of the Terra Federation.

Before Tetsuya left Chenjiazhuang, Chen Hong always hid in the dark, secretly observing the naughty boy in her father's mouth, the youngest son of the mountain hero of the Sanwang Club. Since then, she always daydreamed, imagining and yearning for this handsome boy to throw down his fishing rod and jump into the river without hesitation, like a handsome prince who bravely killed the bandits and saved the country girl.

Whenever she thought of these things, Xiao Chen Hong's face would turn red and her heart would beat faster. There were a few times when she was distracted and laughed foolishly in the private school class, and then the teacher would hit her palm with a ruler.
The pain in my palms and the ridicule from my friends seemed to become insignificant because I had something to rely on in my heart.

At Chen's Martial Arts School, the master discovered her talent and potential, and through hard training day after day, she built a perfect body.
It is said that girls change a lot when they grow up, and this is true for Chen Hong, who becomes more and more beautiful.

After she turned twelve, the little girl's facial features gradually developed. She had big eyes, long eyelashes, a straight nose, and a thin little mouth. She was very petite and cute.

The boys in the village changed their attitudes and tried to get close to her and her brother Chen Xing by looking for opportunities to show their affection.
Every time Chen Hong has her birthday, she receives a lot of greeting cards and cakes, but she just politely declines them if possible.

·
Once, she took on an important mission and followed her master to escort the village chief to meet with agricultural product buyers in the city. Suddenly, a Tang Sect killer holding a poisoned dagger jumped out and assassinated the village chief.

The 15-year-old Chen Hong held the red tasseled spear and jumped high up to push the spear with a "tiger jumping over a stream" move. The high-carbon steel red tasseled spear head pierced the heart of the Tang Sect killer, stabbing him straight through.

He then drew the big knife from behind, cut off the enemy's head, held it high with both hands and presented it to the ancestors of the Chen family. This move frightened the agricultural product purchaser and he quickly signed the purchase contract. The village chief praised the young man for being a hero.

From then on, the boys who admired her rarely came to see her anymore. They were just honest farmers' sons who only knew how to farm and herd sheep. They could not imagine the cruel lifestyle of the women from the martial family with swords and spears, so it was impossible for them to be together.

Brother Chen Xing said that she was too cruel and scared the boys, and joked that Xiaohong would never find a partner in her life. Chen Hong said it didn't matter. Brother asked her if she had found one, and she said it was a secret.

Many years ago, she woke up in a hospital bed, and the boy, Yamagami Tetsuya, held her hand and shouted excitedly;
"Not drowned! Alive! Alive! Yeah!"

Even though the boy's clothes were still wet with river water, his head was covered with mud, and there was water weeds in his teeth, his smile was still so bright, sunny and handsome.

The image of this savior was deeply imprinted in the memory of Chen Hong, the daughter of the Wu family, and she could never forget it.

·
My thoughts returned to reality;

Two poisonous insects landed on his arm and crawled towards the wound on his shoulder.

Chen Hong was already drowsy, immersed in a revolving lantern of memories, and no longer had the strength to swing her sword;

(It’s over…it’s over,

I can't save the young master, I can't even save myself...

After all, I am still the same person as a child...

Ugly, stupid, loser...)
