Douluo: Twin Stars: The Descend of the Gods

"Thank you, thank you, sister! When Rou'er earns a lot of Gintama coins in the future, I will definitely support you, hehe."

Xiao Xirou thanked the drugstore sister in front of her very sincerely, with a happy look on her face.

The little girl lived in a poor area and didn't know many complex words. When she said "a lot", she exaggeratedly dragged out the tone of "very".

The sister in the drug store was amused by Xiao Xirou's words and burst out laughing, looking at the little girl in front of her with mud on her face who said she wanted to raise her.

She just felt sad and funny.

She squatted down and gently touched Xiao Xirou's head, not minding it even though it was dirty.

"Okay, then when Xiao Rouer has money, I will follow Xiao Rouer, and I will wait for you to support me."

"Ah."

Xiao Xirou nodded vigorously.

"Okay, go quickly. If you don't go back, your mother will wake up."

When Xiao Xirou heard this, she slapped her head and said, "That's right! See you tomorrow, bye~"

She waved her hand and hurried towards home, and the sister in the pharmacy also waved with a smile.

"Goodbye~"

Looking at Xiao Xirou's departing back, her eyes suddenly felt sore for no reason. She rubbed her eyes with her fingers, and after feeling the moisture in her eye sockets, she murmured to herself in her heart: After all, she is crying...

"Hey~, this child..."

Xiao Xirou ran back home and saw her mother was still sleeping. She opened the door carefully and walked into the room.

He tiptoed to the small treasury where he hid his money, which was actually just a small sack made of rags, and put the money in his pocket into it.

Xiao Xirou counted them carefully and found that there were not only one hundred Soul-Connecting Coins, but also three more!

Hmm... I always feel like there will be one or two more copper soul coins in my bag from time to time. Is it an illusion?

But she counts every day.

Well... never mind. Maybe this is what adults mean when they say 'money makes money'.

A smile appeared on her face unconsciously. She quietly put the three extra copper soul coins into her mother's bag and ran out in a hurry.

But she had only taken two steps out of the door when she suddenly stopped and turned to look behind her.

She seemed to hear some noise coming from the room just now. Was it her mother who woke up?

Xiao Xirou suddenly became a little flustered. She tiptoed to the window and looked inside through it.

Seeing her mother still lying in bed, she finally breathed a sigh of relief, but Xiao Xirou felt inexplicably guilty.

He touched his nose, then turned and ran in one direction.

Xiao Xirou stopped only when she reached a house.

Looking at the beautifully decorated house in front of her, Xiao Xirou's eyes sparkled and she seemed very envious.

I wish I could let my mother live in a house like this.

"Knock Knock Knock-"

Xiao Xirou knocked on the door with trepidation, but she stood outside in the cold wind and waited for a long time, but there was still no response from inside.

She gritted her teeth, mustered up the courage and knocked on the door again, this time with much greater force.

"Knock Knock Knock-"

Soon, a man's angry voice was heard from inside: "Who is this? Why are you making noise here in the middle of the night? Are you sick?!"

Then there was the sound of the door being opened forcefully. The man saw that there was no one outside and was about to curse, but when he looked down, he saw a child standing in front of him.

Yo ho!

He still knew him.

"Little girl, you come to disturb my sleep so late, I advise you to have something to do, otherwise you will suffer the consequences!"

When Xiao Xirou saw the man with a fierce look on his face, she shrank back in fear and her face turned pale.

"Well, well, I have collected enough Gintama coin. Can you please stop beating Mother this month?" Xiao Xirou's voice became weaker as she spoke.

"Damn! Who are you talking to so quietly? Can you speak louder?" the man said, kicking Xiao Xirou in the abdomen.

"what!"

Xiao Xirou was kicked and fell to the ground, feeling severe pain in her abdomen. Her eyes suddenly turned red, as if she was about to cry.

But in order to prevent her mother from being beaten again, she held back her tears and handed over the sack that she was holding tightly in her arms.

The man took it without hesitation, opened it and took a look. Combining it with the words he had just heard intermittently, he instantly understood what she meant.

He sneered, "Ha! How can one Gintama coin be enough? You are so naive, you still want me to let you and your daughter go? There are still so many months ahead, you have to pay back the previous ones as well."

After hearing this, Xiao Xirou felt as if she had been struck by lightning, and her face turned extremely pale:

"But, but, you bullied me and mom every month before."

"Humph, I don't care. Just because I beat you up does that mean I don't have to pay you the money I paid you? But..."

At this point, the man paused, then looked Xiao Xirou up and down with a lewd look on his face.

"You came here in the middle of the night, you must let me taste you. I haven't tasted a virgin in all these years."

The man let out a strange laugh, then reached out and pulled Xiao Xirou into his room.

Xiao Xirou struggled hard, but it was of no avail. In the end, she simply bit the man's wrist hard.

"Ahhhh——!"

The man cried out in pain, threw Xiao Xirou to the ground, and checked his hand.

There was a row of clear teeth marks on it, and it was even bleeding. If I hadn't shaken it off in time, my artery would have been ruptured.

"Fuck! How dare you, little bitch, bite me! Are you tired of living?"

The man walked towards her angrily and stomped on her hard.

"what!"

Xiao Xirou closed her eyes out of fear. The expected pain did not come. She only felt like a gust of wind blowing past her ears.

Immediately afterwards, a woman's muffled groan was heard, and then a soft and huge object hit her body.

When Xiao Xirou opened her eyes, she saw her mother fell in front of her, holding her stomach.

"mom, Mom, Mom?"

"Humph, I didn't expect both of you to be here. This is good, so I don't have to look for you later. Today you must give me a gold coin.

If you can take it out, take it out for me. If you can’t take it out, find a way to take it out for me! Otherwise, don’t even think about leaving today!"

The man kicked Xiao Xirou's mother again and again, but the mother still held Xiao Xirou tightly in her arms.

“Mom, mom! Wuuuuuu~ Please don’t hit mommy anymore, please wuuuuu~”

"Humph, you want me to let your mother go? Then take out the gold soul coins? Or you can stay with me for one night."

Hearing this, the mother held her daughter tighter in her arms and whispered in her ear:

"do not go!"
