Pirate World: Restoration

"I'm leaving first, Mr. Stone Statue. It's nice to chat with you."

Xiao Guang smiled and ran away. If she didn't go back before the others finished their meal, she would definitely be beaten again.

After Xiao Guang left, the stone statue in the wall closed its eyes again. I don't know when he started to like sleeping, burying himself like this and isolating himself from the outside world.

There were a few searchlights scattered in the mine tunnel, bringing a little light to the dark space.

Xiao Guang ran barefoot on the ground and finally rushed back to the place where he was working before the patrol of the soldiers came.

Many ragged people licked their fingers, and they were still savoring the aroma of rice. No one noticed when Xiao Guang left.

"You lowly miners, don't take action to repay the king's generosity!"

A tall man came with his nose pinched, and the whip in his hand randomly found someone to fall.

Snap!

Xiao Guang, who was standing closest to him, became his first target.

Xiaoguang was whipped and flew to the ground, with a wound on his back, and blood slowly soaked his clothes.

"Waste!"

The man ignored Xiaoguang who fell to the ground and waved the whip in his hand in protest.

The miners were numb to this. In order to make them work, people died under the whip of the soldiers every day.

They picked up the hoe and started to dig at the dense iron ore on the wall.

The sound of the hoe hitting the mine sounded, but the soldier did not stop.

He was like a lion patrolling his territory, proudly observing back and forth, and if the speed was slow, he would whip it down.

"Hurry up, is the meal in vain?"

Snap!

The whip fell on a middle-aged man, and he shook his body, but did not stop.

Xiaoguang lay on the ground, looking at the man, she wanted to get up, but she couldn't.

She was too weak. After her parents left, she never had enough to eat. In addition, she was too young to bear a whip.

"You are General Andre's daughter, right? He is really a great general!"

The man walked to Xiaoguang, squatted down and showed a strange expression, which was an expression that wanted to show sadness, but couldn't control the smile.

"But he still died. He is a hypocrite! If these slaves are liberated, who will mine for us?"

"He looked down on me, Dali, but his daughter is now being abused by me unscrupulously!"

Dali had a twisted smile on his face and kicked Xiaoguang on the ground again.

"Hahaha! You bastard, blame your parents for giving birth to you."

"Now that they are dead, you will live alone."

Tears blurred Xiaoguang's vision. She wanted to refute that her parents were the greatest parents.

But she couldn't speak. The blood blocked her throat and the pain wrapped around her body.

Dali ignored Xiaoguang. If she died, she died. If she didn't die, he could abuse her a few more times.

The surrounding miners listened to Dali's words but didn't dare to take any action. General Andre was indeed very good to them, but he was dead.

Staying alive was their only goal. Xiaoguang's life or death had nothing to do with them.

The people in the mine numbly knocked on the wall, and Xiaoguang squirmed on the ground, enduring the pain.

She was dying. This was the third time she was injured after her parents died. She felt that this was the last time.

But she was unwilling. She wanted to see what the outside world was like. She wanted to experience the feeling of the sun shining on her body.

Xiaoguang crawled for more than ten minutes and finally fell beside a wall.

Others thought she was dead and would be dragged away by soldiers the next day. The lives of miners were even worse than those of ordinary slaves. Here, their fate was only death.

Three hours later, Xiaoguang slowly opened her eyes. She felt her throat was sticky and her body had no strength.

Xiaoguang leaned against the wall, tears flowing uncontrollably. She began to miss her parents and wondered if she was born right.

Her father Andre was a general of the kingdom, but he was framed for resisting the slave system. Her mother was already pregnant at that time.

Andre thought for a long time and finally gave birth to her.

Andre was so strong that the soldiers who managed the slaves dared not hurt him, but he also offended many soldiers who guarded the slaves. Dali was the best example.

The king saw that Andre refused to repent, and finally ordered him to be executed.

Xiaoguang's mother chose to commit suicide after learning of Andre's death, leaving behind the six-year-old Xiaoguang.

Although Xiaoguang had never left the mine, she thrived under Andre's protection, so she always had a smile on her face, even though life was so difficult.

At night, when the miners were fighting for the only bucket of rice, Xiaoguang stood up by holding on to the wall.

Step by step, enduring the pain, she walked towards Mr. Stone Statue.

After her parents died, Mr. Stone Statue was the only person willing to communicate with her. Although she had never seen what he looked like, Xiaoguang felt that he must be a man as gentle as her father.

She thought that she was going to die, so she had to tell Mr. Stone Statue, otherwise it would make Mr. Stone Statue embarrassed.

Tick, tick.

Xiaoguang held on to the wall, and blood kept dripping on the ground.

Half an hour later, Xiaoguang finally arrived at her destination. She fell directly to the ground exhausted.

"Mr. Stone Statue, are you awake?"

Xiaoguang tried her best to make her voice happy. She came to say goodbye and couldn't make Mr. Stone Statue sad.

After a few minutes, the stone statue didn't answer. Xiaoguang smiled and was not sad. Maybe leaving this world like this could also reduce trouble for others.

Perhaps she knew that no one could hear her voice, so she couldn't control it anymore and said what was in her heart all at once.

She was just a six-year-old child, and she also wanted to tell someone about her worries.

"Mr. Stone Statue, do you think I should be born? If I am not born, forget it. If I am not born, I will not be able to meet my parents and Mr. Stone Statue."

"Mr. Stone Statue, what do you think the world after death is like? Will it be darker than here?"

"I miss my parents, but I also want to see the sun again. My father named me Xiaoguang, saying that it is the light of the sun."

"Mr. Stone Statue."

"I don't want to die."

The girl's voice was very low, but it was deafening to Henry.

The ground began to shake, the soil on the wall began to fall off, and a figure with wings and a body made of stone walked out.

"Do you want to live?" Henry stretched out his hand to Xiaoguang, but Xiaoguang's consciousness had begun to blur at this time.

Henry bent down and carefully picked up Xiaoguang to avoid hurting him with his sharp claws.

Xiaoguang has fallen into a coma. She doesn't know what is happening outside, but she feels like she is entering an ice-cold embrace, an embrace that is cold but makes her feel warm.
