Main Text Chapter 8 The Second and Third Brothers

When Miao Yi was eight years old, his family suffered a fire, and he became an orphan and was almost sent to the "Ciyuan Mansion".

The so-called "Ciyuan Mansion" is a charity place provided by the local government for widows, widowers, orphans and people who have no ability to live.

This is a world completely dominated by practitioners. The strong put their statues in every household, and the common people worship them as gods. They have to pray to the shrine for three hours every day to contribute their wishes.

And those who were sent to the "Ciyuan Mansion" have to pray to the shrine almost all the time, except for eating, drinking, defecating, urinating and sleeping, and contribute their wishes. They are no different from pigs in a pen and live an inhuman life.

Fortunately, Lu Xuexin's parents, who are also neighbors, took Miao Yi in in time, otherwise all orphans under the age of ten would have to be sent to the "Ciyuan Mansion".

Who knew that two years later, the Lu family suffered a fire again one night, and the Lu couple also died in the sea of ​​fire, leaving behind a five-year-old daughter.

For a time, Miao Yi became a disaster star in everyone's mouth, but some people just didn't believe in it.

To put it bluntly, they didn't want to see the two children suffer, so the butcher Zhang's family adopted two more children.

As a result, two years later, the butcher Zhang and his wife encountered a forest fire while working outside, and another kind couple was buried in the sea of ​​fire, and another child became an orphan, so Miao Yi became the "star of misfortune" in everyone's mouth, and no one dared to take him in anymore.

Fortunately, Miao Yi didn't stay in Zhang's house for nothing during the two years. He didn't want to take his "sister" Lu Xuexin to eat for free, so he often took the initiative to help Zhang the butcher with chores, so he learned to kill pigs.

That year, Miao Yi was twelve years old, picked up the butcher knife left by Zhang the butcher, and prepared to support his younger brothers and sisters with his own ability.

But at this time, Huang Baochang, who was in charge of managing this area in the city, came with people, because Zhang Xiaopangzi and Lu Xuexin had no adults to take care of them, and they were both under ten years old, so they wanted to send them to the "Ciyuan Mansion" in the city as orphans.

Miao Yi was anxious at that time. He carried Lu Xuexin on his back, held Zhang Xiaopangzi in one hand, and held a butcher knife in the other hand to confront everyone. He refused to let anyone take his younger brother and sister away.

When he became an orphan, Lu Xuexin's parents did not let him be sent to the "Ciyuan Mansion". When he and Lu Xuexin both became orphans, Zhang the butcher and his wife did not let them be sent to the "Ciyuan Mansion". How could Miao Yi watch the children of his adoptive parents being sent to the Ciyuan Mansion?

At that time, Miao Yi, who was so anxious that his eyes turned red, knew that it was useless to use force. He was too young to beat a group of adults. When facing Huang Baochang and others, he just went all out and shouted for help around, causing a group of neighbors to come and watch. Miao Yi took the opportunity to ask everyone to be fair, and then directly stabbed his thigh with a butcher knife to show his heart that he would rather die than let his younger brother and sister go to the Ciyuan Mansion, saying that he had the ability to support his younger brother and sister.

Seeing Miao Yi with blood pouring from his thigh, the neighbors were moved, so they all asked Huang Baochang not to be so wicked.

Under the pressure of the neighbors, Huang Baochang couldn't do anything too much to arouse public anger. After all, they were neighbors who saw each other every day, so he could only leave in shame.

Therefore, Huang Baochang's family seemed to have never been very interested in Miao Yi, and his son Huang Cheng often came to find fault with Miao Yi.

But for Miao Yi, none of this mattered. In short, from that day on, no matter how hard it was, he made a living by slaughtering pigs at a young age. He not only supported his younger brothers and sisters, but also tried his best to send them to school. As long as the children of ordinary families could enjoy the treatment, he tried his best to provide them.

The house where the three brothers and sisters lived was left by Zhang the butcher and his wife, so the neighbors usually called Miao Yi the eldest of the Zhang family.

Hearing the familiar name and seeing the familiar people, Miao Yi finally confirmed that he really came out of the world.

Looking back at the strange sea of ​​fog that connected the sky and the earth, he was actually a little sad and happy for a while. Outsiders could not imagine the danger inside. After escaping death so many times, he finally got out!

And it was safe! In order to maintain order, there were immortals stationed on the walls of the ancient city. Even if everyone knew that he had treasures on him, no one dared to rob him here.

But he was still more or less vigilant in his heart. He did not say anything. Under everyone's gaze, he quickly left the crowd and walked towards the ancient city.

Many people's eyes fell on Miao Yi's package, wondering if he had found treasures in it. After all, there were many people who were scared and returned empty-handed.

The ancient city was only two miles away from the turbulent "Ten Thousand Feet of Red Dust". The ancestors of the residents of Miao Yi's city lived in this ancient city at the earliest time, but after a shocking upheaval and the emergence of this ultimate killing formation, most of the sunlight in the day was blocked by the vast blood fog. For ordinary people, the lack of half of the sunlight would have a significant impact on their lives, such as simply drying clothes, so they moved to a place more than ten miles away and rebuilt a new city.

Whenever the "Million-foot Red Dust" opens, the locals will organize people to renovate the ancient city to welcome the arrival of a large number of practitioners.

The place where the three brothers and sisters agreed to meet was under an old willow tree next to the ancient city wall. An old willow tree was killed by lightning a few years ago. The three brothers and sisters were surprised to find that the dead old willow tree was resurrected this time, so they agreed to meet under the tree.

Under the shade of the tree, a fat boy with a chubby round belly, with anxiety in his clever and cunning eyes, kept looking around.

A little girl with a girl's braid sat with her back against the old willow tree. She was delicate and beautiful, a natural beauty, but her eyes were red and swollen, as if she had cried.

"Could my brother be dead?" The little girl grabbed the trouser leg of the little fat boy and sobbed.

The little fat man sighed, "Crow's Mouth, haven't you heard from the neighbors that my eldest brother is the 'lone star of evil'? Even if everyone else dies, it won't be his turn to die."

Although he said this, his anxious eyes betrayed his thoughts. A few months before the start of the world of mortals, his eldest brother suddenly asked him to learn to kill pigs. At that time, he knew that his eldest brother was already prepared for any eventuality. Once something happens to his eldest brother, he will have a skill to take care of his sister and continue to make a living.

Neither brother nor sister wanted the eldest brother to take this risk, but they couldn't stop him.

The little fat man is a little older and knows what his elder brother is thinking. Neighbors say that he is the 'Lonely Evil Star' who killed the brother and sister's parents. Maybe it's to repay a favor, maybe it's out of guilt, maybe it's to prove something to the neighbors. , as long as there is a chance, the eldest brother will fight for a better life for the two brothers and sisters. This time he has the opportunity to make the two brothers and sisters become immortals, and the eldest brother will not hesitate to risk his life.

"Uh-huh, did we bring trouble to the eldest brother? I heard someone said that the Li family of the tofu shop across the street refused to marry Sister Li to his brother's wife because we are two little burdens on the family." The little girl cried.

"Third brother, stop crying. You're tired of crying."

While the little fat man was patting the little girl's head impatiently, he suddenly heard a familiar voice shouting: "Second child, third child."

The little fat man and the little girl suddenly looked up and saw a man who looked like he had crawled out of a pile of coal, running towards them faster.

"Brother! Brother!"

The little girl screamed in surprise, jumped up and rushed out with the little fat man.

The three brothers and sisters hugged each other and were so happy.

As soon as the three of them separated, the little girl immediately patted Miao Yi's body, while the little fat man smiled obscenely and said: "The third one is still worried that you will die in there. Let me tell you, Old Zhang, who is the eldest brother and who will die." You can’t die on the head of your elder brother!”

After saying that, he looked around, sneaked close to Miao Yi's ear, and whispered: "Brother, did you succeed if you personally took action?"

Looking at him like that, you know he's not a good guy. It is true that Little Fatty Zhang has done all kinds of evil since he was a child, and he likes to do some sneaky things. When the neighbors are so angry with each other, they regret that they didn't send this kid to the Ciyuan Mansion, so as to save him a lot of trouble.

Miao Yi patted his bulging chest and hinted.

"Really?" Fatty Zhang and Yatou Lu's eyes suddenly lit up.

Miao Yi shook his head slightly, looked around, and signaled to keep quiet.

Little Fatty Zhang was like a fox who had stolen a chicken, holding his fat belly with both hands, and hehehe said for a while: "Damn it, didn't Lao Huang's family just give birth to a beautiful daughter and gave it to the immortal to be a maid? With her daughter, she became a security chief If you do it, you dare to bully us all the time. What will we do if you turn around and wait for us? Let’s see how I deal with the Huang family, especially Huang Cheng, that bastard. I have to pinch his balls out. It’s not a gentleman not to avenge a grudge. , just wait for me!”

He was embarrassed here, but Miao Yi's expression changed.

As the saying goes, enemies often meet in a narrow road. When it comes to Huang Baochang, we saw Huang Baochang leading a dozen people with swords.
