Zhan Ye

The people in Hermitage Village, of course, did not save Duan Ximei's life because of their "broad-mindedness".

It's just because he and the group of teenagers grew up together, if anyone is the worst among them, the worst one happens to be him.

Wei Xueqing said how Guan Ju was established and how he tortured the people of Hermitage Village. He has never experienced it himself. As long as he can remember, he has grown up in the valley that is isolated from the world and people. The Hermitage Village he saw The middle-aged people are all weather-beaten and numb faces.

The people around him are very extreme, most of them are a group of people who are the most capable of killing and torturing people in the whole world. The wine glasses they drink are made by cutting off the heads of others, and the meat they eat is human flesh, tiger meat, Wolf meat, each of them has more or less a part of their favorite human body in their room, hands, feet, eyes, heart...

The small ones are those who are so weak that they can only be tortured by them.

He was also one of those little ones.

When he learned to walk, he was not guided by adults and followed behind, but he learned to run before he learned to walk under the threat of wolves and tigers.

The first word he opened his mouth was neither father nor mother, but blood.Because that day he received the first gift in his life, it was a dagger that was still stained with drops of warm blood, and the person who gave him the gift told him that it was blood and a knife. He spat out the word "blood" and then said the word "knife".

He didn't remember at all whether it belonged to him or not. Guan Shudu, the mouse in the previous generation of the zodiac, told him as a joke, saying that this was the life he chose for himself.

He also quietly thought afterwards, maybe that's the case, these two things are his only reliance: his own knife and other people's blood.

The beginning of his real memory was being thrown into the deep mountains with those children, locked in a cage, or when there were no beasts in front of them, what they had to face was each other...

It is too thick and colorful, so it is written into the unforgettable place of memory all at once.

In the beginning, among the group of children, some were older than him, and some were younger than him, but gradually the younger ones disappeared one by one, and the older ones survived less and less.

He escaped from danger time and time again.

He still still remembers the words that group of adults enthusiastically commented on him back then.

"A monster of a monster."

"A born assassin."

"It must survive until the end of the world."

He grew up in such an environment, of course he has no concept of right and wrong, but he is afraid of loneliness, he is afraid that he will be left alone in the end.Then he began to consciously take their lives together - he gradually gained that strength.He knew that everything he did was seen by Chi Ming, but Chi Ming didn't say anything.

His adoptive father Chi Ming is his closest person.

Although he never knew what he was thinking.

Everything he did was to please his adoptive father.

Although he never saw him happy.

In fact, the group of children didn't know that the torture he suffered when he was young was far more than all of them.

Chi Ming tortured him in a way that was harsher than treating animals.

He will always remember what Chi Ming said when he first came out of the "game" of his companions killing each other, when he began to teach him martial arts.

"Only by becoming the strongest person can you be qualified to live in this world. Only your strength will never betray you."

Everything that happened later proved this sentence.

For the first time in his life, he knew that his adoptive father would also suffer and be happy because of the name "Wei Junxin".

He did not deceive Wei Feiqing back then, he used the power of the twelve zodiac signs to find out Wei Junxin's location and sneak out of the valley to meet her. He really just wanted to meet her.

Wei Feiqing heard many stories about his mother from him, and he also heard more stories about his adoptive father when he was young from Wei Junxin.

In fact, he didn't have any strong feelings towards Wei Junxin, he was a little curious, but definitely not enough to feel hatred.The last time he seized the opportunity to stab her was not so much revenge for his father, as it was purely tired of her putting on such a gentle face every day to watch him suffer.

The zodiac signs also like to see him tortured, but they will definitely laugh maliciously while watching, instead of putting on a friendly face.

Besides, killing people is nothing more than a big deal.

The trip to Qingxin Xiaozhu made him realize for the first time his own weakness and incompetence.He may be able to kill wild beasts all over the mountain, but he can't fight the seemingly ordinary people outside, and he can't even kill a woman who has no power to restrain the chicken.

In the end he was saved by a child about his size.

If there was really anyone in that line of work that made him see something different, it might be that child.

Wei Feiqing.

That different thing is called "expectation."

Wei Feiqing said, others don't expect you to grow up in the future, but I really want to see what kind of person you will become when you grow up.

This sentence made him remember deeply in his heart for a whole ten years without knowing it, just like the initial panic and begging for survival, he was caught off guard and went straight to his heart.

He returned to Guanju Valley after half a year.No one looked for him when he disappeared, and no one welcomed him when he returned.

As if he had only left for half a day, he continued to live his old life.

In another two years, he began to go out to perform missions.

He gradually understood the world.

But obviously, it's not enough.

"If I've seen all kinds of things in the world, maybe I won't be easily fascinated by Xie Yu." Duan Xie raised his lips expressionlessly, "I was attacked on the way back to the valley, and he' went out to collect medicine from the side Saved me when I passed by. I sent him home, but his village was slaughtered by bandits. He lost his mother and father overnight, but he was optimistic and funny. He was more lively and interesting than all the people in Guanju combined. Hundred times? I recognized him as the eldest brother, and brought him back to Guanju. Anyway, there are so many trash next door, so what if there is one more him?"

For such a clumsy round, he was elated at the time.

At that time, he even rejoiced that he could protect this "big brother".

In Guanju, strength is the most respected.

If you have the ability to protect what you have, let alone a scholar, even if you bring back a group of beauties to sing and sing every night, that's up to you.

No one asks where others come from and where they are going.Even his adoptive father Chi Ming wouldn't ask.

It wasn't until Guan Ju was destroyed that Duan Ximei didn't understand why they didn't ask, and then he realized how weird the place he grew up in was.

No one cared whether Xie Yu would bring disadvantage, not even being compared to the neck with a knife.

"Maybe they are really the so-called 'impatient to live' people." Duan Ximei said lightly, "When the children who were tortured by themselves reaped their lives, no one was afraid, and no one begged for mercy. If I have to say, probably everyone People are... Excited? It's as if they can't wait to die. I gradually understood later, or at that time they knew in their hearts that even if they died, the inheritance of Guan Ju and the twelve zodiac signs would not be cut off. Wei Wei Xueqing, what they want to pass on is not the experience and skills of killing, but the heart that is impatient to live, not afraid of death, not distinguishing between good and evil, right and wrong."

Wei Xueqing nodded suddenly.

And what about him?

He might not have cared about death in the first place.

He watched the once mighty twelve zodiac signs die one by one, and he also watched them die without injustice or grievance, but on a whim, they killed many villagers before they died.Maybe the group of children in the past didn't intend to personally harvest the lives of those who are both enemies and masters, but the smell of blood was too strong...

He also watched with his own eyes that Du Ruo cut off the head of Chi Ming, who was in a state of madness, with a blank face, and handed the head to Xie Yu.

Xie Yu didn't kill him, Xie Yu abolished his martial arts, shattered all the meridians in his body, cut off the tendons in his arms and legs, and made him lie on the ground like a dead dog and watch everything happen.

I saw it too clearly, so I couldn't forget Chi Ming's extremely calm eyes at the moment of waking up before he died. That kind of calm clearly read as "seeking benevolence and gaining benevolence".

No one kept it from him.

Xie Yu told him his identity and purpose, he came here to destroy this killing cave, and also to kill Chi Ming to avenge his mother.

Du Ruo told him that she had been secretly helping Xie Yu.

Even the villagers are outspoken.

Everyone confessed strangely, and they didn't know whether they were not afraid of death, or simply looked down on him.

But he really didn't think about revenge.

The dead die happily.

The living live in pain.

Everyone's original intention seems to be revenge, revenge, revenge.

He didn't know who to seek revenge on.

He also thought that maybe the person he should "revenge" the most is himself?After all, he was the source of this disaster.

However, no one cares about his source.

No one blames him, no one appreciates him, no one cares about him.

If there is hatred in his heart, maybe he only hates himself for not knowing why he exists in this world.

But why did he survive in the end?

Maybe it was because the adoptive father was still awake for a moment before he died, and at that moment he finally shook his hand.

Maybe it was because even though Xie Yu used him from beginning to end, he still gave him a sigh of relief after all.

Maybe it was because Mei Yinuo stayed by his side and refused to leave.

Perhaps it was because the group of ex-companions who were red-eyed must drag him into the tunnel for refuge for some reason.

He has been learning how to kill since he was a child, but he has never learned how to "live".

It's ridiculous, but in such a desperate situation, he felt the meager "expectation" that seemed to want him to "live" from the behavior of everyone.

He survived twice because others still had "expectations" of him.

At that time, he suddenly realized that since he was a child, he had been struggling on the verge of death time and time again. How many times he thought that he would not be able to survive, but no matter what kind of desperation he faced, he survived in the end.

It turned out that he was the one who "expects" himself at first, and his expectation of surviving saved his life time and time again.

This is... very good, so good that he learned the ability of eye dripping for the first time in his life.

later?

Later, neither he nor the remaining villagers, nor his former companions, nor Du Ruo, had anywhere to go.

They're not friends, but they're also hard to keep apart.

He didn't even know why they wanted to revive Guan Ju.

He himself knew that he was not out for revenge.

where are they?They were completely disgusted by the villagers because of this decision. They inherited the names and names of the twelve zodiac signs. They could have perfectly replaced the old twelve zodiac signs.

But each of them has a fatal weakness in their hearts, that is their "relatives", but they never thought of letting this group of relatives who were completely disappointed in them and no longer like relatives disappear.

Not only did they want to protect them by themselves, but they also made Mr. Duan swear that as long as he is and Guan Ju is, he will protect these villagers for as long as he lives.

Because, "Guanju" owes them.

Mr. Duan agreed.

Whether it's revenge or saving lives, no one just hopes that they will not be alone in the end, and then try to find the meaning of life in the process.

This is something that he slowly figured out when he was wandering in the rivers and lakes.

He does a lot.

He seemed to want to prove that the expectations of those who wanted him to live were right.

He also seemed to want them to completely regret that they didn't kill him that day.

But in fact, he is just trying to "live".

"Wei Xueqing, what you said is correct. I am not 'impatient', and I don't want to kill all of you and then die myself." Duan Ximei said softly, "I want to protect you all day long. Everyone in this temple has a day, you guessed it right."

A gentleman promises.

This is a burden that he voluntarily, wants, and must rush to bear.

He can afford it.
