Can't stop the medicine

"He won't live to grow up here, you have to find a way to leave." The extremely pale and skinny fingers carefully touched Ren Xiaoyao's already thinned cheeks, and the position between the eyebrows was twisted into a white pimple.

Qingyue fed the paste to Ren Xiaoyao who was lying in his arms, looked at the skinny boy curled up beside her, and said in a calm voice, "I will protect him."

The boy grinned, poured more than half of the mush from his own plate into Qingyue's bowl, then cherished the scum sticking to the spoon, and whispered: "He should eat more, he's still so young .”

"Thank you." Qingyue did not refuse the other party's kindness.

Ren Xiaoyao raised his head, looked at the boy's pale complexion that almost merged with the glare of the light, and showed a toothless smile.

"He's smiling at me." The boy's eyes widened in surprise, his light gray pupils mixed with gold and green looked like inorganic glass balls under the light: "He's so cute!"

"Pale..." Qingyue scratched the bottom of the bowl with a spoon, making an annoying sound.

Pale, the skinny and pale boy, is the only friend Ren Xiaoyao and Qingyue have in this orphanage.

Pale lives up to his name, he is too pale.Except for the curly brown hair on his head, his whole body is as pale as incandescent light without any blood color. Pale is like those art performers whose whole body is covered with white paint.Not only pale, Pale was tall and thin.Years of malnutrition made Pale look like a hemp rod covered with linen and white cloth. On the long bone rod, there is only a layer of snow-colored skin stretched tightly, and no excess fat can be seen.

Due to his thinness, it seemed that Pale's cheeks with a Western profile were extremely narrow and long, like a shriveled zucchini that had been deprived of nutrients.The high browbones and protruding cheekbones are as sharp as a steep cliff, and two transparent eyes like inorganic glass are inlaid in the center, like a giant clam containing pearls.

However, unlike Pale's sharp appearance, compared with other wolf-like children, even compared with most people in the outside world, he is an overly kind-hearted type.

It's safe to say that Pale is the only good guy in the entire orphanage.

When Ren Xiaoyao first met Pale, he was even surprised that there was such a special existence in this wolf den.

If it weren't for Pale being the oldest child in the orphanage and also the oldest and tallest child, it would be difficult for him to survive.

He is like the Virgin Mary who is compassionate to all living beings in the murals, and he has an inexplicable sense of responsibility compared to those young children.Because of this, both Ren Xiaoyao and Qingyue received extra care from him.With Pale's help, Ren Xiaoyao was able to keep the swaddling clothes he relied on to keep warm.

Putting the scraped dry paste into her mouth, Qingyue raised her eyes to meet Pale's questioning look: "Pale, what are your plans?"

"What plan?" Pale asked back.

"Tomorrow's talent test..."

Before Qingyue finished speaking, Pale smiled and said, "I'm 16 years old, I've gone through two talent tests, and I'm still here..."

Shrugging his shoulders, Pale's shoulder bones, which were only covered with a layer of fleshy skin, raised two hills through his thin clothes, with a relaxed expression on his face: "I don't have any talent in martial arts at all."

"But next year, I will be 17 years old, and then I will be able to leave here and go out to work." Pale tapped Ren Xiaoyao's nose with his neatly trimmed fingertips, leaning against Qingyue's ear and whispered: "When the time comes, I'll find a way to take you out. This place is not suitable for a child like Xiaoyao to survive, it's only been a few days! Look at him, he's skinny."

Life in the orphanage is really not easy, even with Pale, the oldest person in the orphanage, and Qingyue protecting him.In just half a month, Ren Xiaoyao has evolved from a cute looking baby to a pitiful looking baby.

The difference between one word and the difference is thousands of miles, almost two extremes that are opposite to each other.

"Why us?" Qingyue spooned the leftovers from Ren Xiaoyao's food into his mouth, and looked at Pale: "We are obviously the last ones here, why do you help us?"

"Because you don't fit here." Pale's cheek rested on his knees, and Pale's bloodless lips curved into a moon shape: "Other children can still survive without my help, but you can't. They are wolves, you are sheep."

"What about you, Pale? How did you survive the orphanage?"

There was an emotion that could be called happiness in Pale's eyes, and his pale cheeks almost flushed like roses: "I have a sister and a friend."

Ren Xiaoyao and Qingyue raised their eyebrows at the same time when they heard the words, of course they were a little surprised.

"I haven't seen them." Qingyue stayed in the orphanage for two years and was under the care of Pale for one and a half years, but he never saw anyone walking with Pale.

"They left a long time ago." Pale leaned on his chin, his plump but dry lower lip trembled, and his two big toes rubbed against each other uncomfortably: "They are people with martial arts talent, and they left when I was seven years old." Here, I don't know if they are doing well outside..."

"It's always better than here." Qingyue's voice, which had warmed up a little, became cold again.

"It's been nine years, but I haven't come to look for you, return my sister... and a friend..." Smacking the itchy teeth, Ren Xiaoyao, who narrowed his eyes slightly, didn't know whether to praise Pale for his innocence or laugh at him for being stupid.

Putting the empty bowl aside, Qingyue looked at Pale's protruding cheekbones and asked again: "Is that your real sister?"

"Yeah." Pale nodded.

'Oh, dear sister. "Ren Xiaoyao really has nothing to say.Well, it just so happens that he doesn't have the ability to speak right now.

"You are looking forward to tomorrow's talent test, right?" Seeing that Qingyue didn't ask any more questions about her sister and friends, Pale's tone became visibly lively: "It would be great if you can pass the test..."

Like a rest suddenly appearing in the middle of the stave, Pale's voice turned sharply and stopped abruptly at the moment of pulling up, Pale's sight fell on Ren Xiaoyao who was looking around with a pair of big eyes.

His thin eyebrows drooped, and after less than ten seconds of ideological struggle, Pale resolutely said: "If you are really selected, if you don't worry about me, I can help you take care of Xiaoyao."

Qingyue's big eyes that were almost covered by black eyes lingered on Pale's face. After a while, he said, "Aren't you going to leave the orphanage? How do you take care of him? You take him away? Are you sure you'll be fine after you go out?" Can you find a job?"

"I won't leave until he's older, and I won't leave until he's seven years old. If I find a job, I can pick him up again." Pale obviously thought of a solution within the ten seconds of hesitation, so he quickly replied .

Lowering her eyes, Qingyue raised the corners of her mouth: "I won't leave him behind."

Ren Xiaoyao looked at Qingyue and at Pale, who didn't know why, and whispered in his heart, "Pale is such a good boy!" '

The dark night is like a velvet curtain in front of the stage of a theater. When it is pulled down and lifted again, the sun rises slowly in the sky after a new scene, and it is a brand new day.

In the orphanage, 130 two children like shallots that haven't grown up are standing straight, with innocent decorations in their eyes, looking at the five big men standing in front of them.

Precocious kids know that the people in front of them who test their talent are their break from here.

Although it is said that only those who have detected their talents can be taken away by them, who knows that there will not be such a slight deviation?Maybe some great person suddenly wants to adopt a child on a whim?

These children refused to give up even a sliver of hope, and tried their best to appear like children who didn't know the world.

"Adults, there are exactly 130 people, and the children are already here." The man closest to the children, wearing an exquisite bow tie and combing a mustache, bowed to the four people behind him.

"Then let's start the test." The woman with long black hair like a crow's feather coiled behind her head nodded, and turned to the big boy who was a full head taller than her, but had an obvious childish face: "Yi Chuan."

"En." Yi Chuan responded, handed the strange-shaped testing machine to Xiao Huzi, and said, "Aim at their foreheads and press the red button."

Taking the testing machine from Yi Chuan's hands respectfully with both hands, Mustache bent down again and again: "Understood, my lord."

Like pork hanging on a hook after passing the quarantine, the children came to Mustache one by one, had their foreheads poked, and then were taken away.

Four big men sat lazily on the chairs, the woman who started talking was chatting with an older man, the whole body was covered in black robes, and the man whose appearance and gender could not be seen seemed to be in a daze, only Yi Chuan's eyes remained on children.

The test was carried out in an orderly manner until Qingyue.

The moment the mustache pressed the red button, the bright dark purple and near-black light beam shot straight up the ceiling, almost breaking through the decaying ceiling and piercing into the sky.

The absent-minded woman and the older man suddenly stood up and walked to Qingyue's side in haste.

Before the two of them could say anything, the black-robed person standing last stood up slowly, and a hoarse and low voice sounded like a cello filled with sand: "I want this child."

The woman was stunned, and then said helplessly to the black robe: "D, I don't know this kid's talent yet, what if he is gifted in martial arts but not in spiritual power? You can't teach him."

"I want it." Without a tone, D repeated what he had just said, and moved to Qing Yue with a snail-like slow and intoxicating pace.

A hand in a black leather glove rested on Qingyue's head, and D said in an irrefutable tone: "Follow me."

The woman and the older man looked at each other, and they didn't make any extra persuasion after all.

Unable to see clearly D's eyes covered in the black hood, Qingyue could only roughly point in that direction and say, "I want to take him with me."

He was undoubtedly referring to Ren Xiaoyao.

"And him."

This he refers to Pale.

Before Pale could finish his astonished expression, D had already given a clean answer: "Yes."

After confirming that Qingyue had no other requests, D went back to the original place and sat down at the same slow pace.Qingyue, who hugged Ren Xiaoyao tightly, greeted Pale, and followed D in a hurry.

Soon after Qingyue, the tester emitted a half-length yellow light again, and the child was selected by the older man.

After the test was over, the woman turned to Yi Chuan who had been standing beside him, and said gently, "Yi Chuan, who is the person you are looking for?"

Yi Chuan rubbed his hands in embarrassment, looked at Pale who was standing behind D: "Pale, do you still remember me?"
