Raindrops as big as soybeans hit me, and my whole body was soaked instantly.
Pushing open the old and mottled iron door, curtains of water come into view. Water flows down the tiles of the eaves. Looking around, the lanes between the houses were filled with water, and the water on the ground was already half a foot high.
"My grandson, my baby's baby bump is very wet and I can't go out."
The old man's chanting sounded behind him. Chen Xing turned around and looked through the rain curtain, seeming to see the old man's kind face.
"grandmother……"
He shouted subconsciously. That was his grandmother, the person who loved him the most.
"whee……"
The laughter rang out again, and he turned around suddenly, and saw a flash of golden light rushing into the alleyway.
The bright red scales, with golden edges shining, penetrated the heavy rain curtain.
Golden scale koi!
Like a subconscious decision, his legs chased him uncontrollably.
It rained heavily and mud and water flowed across it. It was as if the whole world was surrounded by rain, with waterfalls flowing under every roof and every river channel filled.
The koi carp was swimming rapidly in front, and he was chasing after it.
The surrounding scene changed rapidly, from flooded alleys, to flooded villages, to vast fields.
After chasing him, a big black mountain appeared in front of him. The mountain walls are steep and straight, with several waterfalls rushing down.
Chen Xing was delighted. The koi was blocked, but he saw it twisting its body, slapping its tail hard, hitting the water, leaping into the air, jumping into the waterfall, and swimming upstream.
Seeing that the koi was about to slip away, Chen Xing thought and disappeared on the spot, teleporting continuously. I saw him flashing left and right in the air, making a "Z" motion, chasing the koi to the top of the mountain.
The first thing you see is a pool of water. The water in the pool was overflowing outwards and flowing down the mountain.
The water flowed loudly, and Chen Xing quickly saw the surrounding scene clearly.
This is not a mountain, it is clearly a big urn.
The koi fish shot up into the air and fell into the pond with a splash. Chen Xing clasped his hands together, plunged into the water, and continued to chase the golden and red shadow.
Watch where you run!
Chen Xing muttered in his heart, paddling his feet quickly, approaching the koi quickly.
Just as he was about to catch it, the koi fish swung its tail and rushed forward several meters, but still couldn't close the distance.
One person and one fish chase each other, and the light in the water becomes darker and darker, until finally only a golden light of the fish scales remains.
I don’t know how long I chased him, but suddenly a blue light appeared in front of me.
The light group was quiet and deep. Chen Xing gave up on the koi and swam over curiously.
Gradually, he saw the entire light group clearly, and it turned out to be a large whirlpool.
The current became so strong that he had to tread water with all his strength to keep from being sucked through.
Dragon Palace?
Chen Xing suddenly remembered his grandma's words. Driven by curiosity, he slowed down his treading speed and gradually approached the center of the whirlpool.
The center of the vortex became clearer and clearer. At first it was only the size of a washbasin, and as it got closer, it became like a cave.
A huge sound of wind came from the center, and the light twisted and changed crazily, as if a violent force was raging and twisting everything.
Inexplicable fear surged into my heart, and my scalp began to tingle. Chen Xing realized the danger and began to tread water hard, trying to get out of the whirlpool.
But no matter how hard he tried, his body was carried towards the center of the whirlpool by the current.
The stinging pain on his scalp was getting worse, indicating great danger.
The situation was urgent. Chen Xing teleported and tried to distance himself. However, the moment his body disappeared, it seemed to be pulled by some inexplicable force and reappeared in its original position.
what happened!
The teleportation failed, and Chen Xing suddenly panicked. He paddled with his hands and feet, but the suction force from the center of the vortex became stronger and stronger, and it was completely ineffective.
He seemed to hear the wind roaring and roaring, and more violent power was mixed in the water. He struggled with all his strength, but his body was like a twisted towel.
Just as he was about to be sucked into the whirlpool, a golden light flashed before his eyes. The koi fish swam behind him, and a reaction force came from his back. He immediately swam forward with all his might and finally got out of the whirlpool.
As if walking on the edge of death, he broke into a cold sweat and slowly opened his eyes.
What came into view was a woman's face, her eyes rippling, looking straight at him with a bit of confusion and curiosity.
Chen Xing recognized the concubine of the ship owner and finally breathed a sigh of relief. It turned out that she had woken up.
"Are you having a nightmare?" the woman asked.
Chen Xing ignored the other party and fell into thinking about the dream.
What is that vortex?
He took out a pendant made of black pottery fragments from his collar and rubbed it gently, thoughtfully.
That vortex is probably the place that connects to the endless void. And the sound of wind he heard was probably the void energy storm.
If that was the endless void, once his consciousness was involved, it would be immediately crushed into powder by the energy storm.
Nothing can exist in the void, where the smallest unit is the universe. ,
That koi carp is probably the "spirit" of the large black pottery urn. Perhaps it was the bond formed by these days of contact that pulled him back at the last moment.
Thinking of this, he exhaled heavily. It's very possible that he had a brush with death just now.
The world of psychic energy and spirit is full of unknowns and uncertainties. Even in dreams, there is a danger of losing one's life.
If you are caught in the void energy storm, the consequences will be disastrous. Perhaps the best case scenario is to become a vegetative state like Zhao Ruoxi.
Thinking of this, he was so frightened that he broke into a cold sweat again.
"What's wrong with you? Are you feeling uncomfortable?" A woman's soft voice sounded in his ears, "Would you like me to bring you a medical kit?"
A warm and soft feeling came over his body, and then Chen Xing realized that the ship owner's concubine was holding him and letting him lie against him.
Noticing his doubtful gaze, the other party's face turned slightly red, and he explained with some embarrassment, "When you were sleeping, you suddenly yelled, like a drowning person. I was worried that you would fall, so, that's why I hugged you." With you..."
Under Chen Xing's gaze, she felt a little frightened, "If you feel uncomfortable, I will get up right away."
Chen Xing didn't speak, just stared at the other person, his eyes gradually moving downward.
It is said that after human beings are afraid, they will have uncontrollable evil thoughts. Because death is approaching, the species' instinct to continue life is stimulated.
The woman's cowardice and fear were like adding fuel to the fire. Chen Xing had never been a gentleman. As long as he was hungry, how could he not eat the fat meat presented to him?
So he enjoyed it naturally...
The battle came and went quickly, and it was over in less than twenty minutes.
It was originally just a romantic relationship, but unexpectedly, a bright red came into his eyes.
He couldn't help but frown, and opened the black watch to check the "combat" data.
Among a bunch of small bright green characters, four red characters stood out - Xiao Youyi Xue.
Due to the advanced medical level in this world, it is very simple to get a membrane repaired, and the technology is superb. It is impossible to distinguish the authenticity from the fake by just relying on your own feelings and naked eyes. After countless men were deceived, they strongly requested the Human Survival Committee to formulate rules, so the current "First Blood Certification" came into being.
The accuracy of this certification is close to 100%, and the error rate is almost zero. The feeling may be wrong, and the visual recognition may be wrong, but the black watch will not be wrong. Unless someone like Chen Xing can freely manipulate the mastermind of the Clearnet to modify data, there are only two such existences in the world - he and Nova.
Obviously Nova would not do such a boring thing, so the accuracy of this result can be regarded as 100%.
He couldn't help but be a little surprised that the concubine married by the captain was still a virgin.
"How did you..." Chen Xing pointed to the blood stains.
Xiaoyou looked outside and said slightly, "He's not good at that. He bought me just to entertain guests."
"Buy?" Chen Xing caught a special word. Although this world is dominated by the weak, it is still a modern society. Slavery has been abolished for thousands of years, and human trafficking is illegal. Even buying and selling refugees is illegal.
"I was raised by a flower girl. If he pays the flower gift, he can marry me home..."
After Xiaoyou's explanation, Chen Xing finally understood what "buy" meant.
The "flower girls" Xiaoyou refers to are not ordinary flower girls, but some orphaned and widowed old women who specialize in adopting refugee girls.
A flower girl usually brings one to three girls. These flower girls would go to refugee villages, look for good-looking girls, and bring them back to the city to raise them.
When they were young, these girls would often make a living selling snacks, cigarettes, bouquets of flowers, or helping with chores. The flower girls will take care of and teach them, and when they grow up, they will receive "flower gift money" from their sponsors and then marry them.
At first glance, it sounds very similar to a palace maid, especially the gift money and aid money. They are essentially the same. It can be said to be a civilian version of a palace maid.
Chen Xing had never heard of flower girls in his last life. It is estimated that mercenaries are not the main customers of flower girls, but businessmen.
There are generally two situations when a mercenary retires. Either he or she becomes a successful person and works directly as a palace maid, or he or she spends his whole life doing nothing and finding a job as a wanderer. Flower girls are in the middle, neither above nor below, so the mercenaries know less.
Chen Xing quickly thought that Su Na's adoptive mother was probably a flower girl.
Maybe starting from this direction, we can find some clues. He once promised Su Na that he would find relatives for her. Suna was so good and caring, even if the chance was slim, he would give it a try.
Thinking like this, Chen Xing raised Xiaoyou's chin and took a few glances. The score of sixty-five points is five points worse than the beauty of wild flowers. It is not bad, and the body is not bad. At least it was quite refreshing just now.
"You will follow me from now on," he announced.
There are not too many maids, you can charge as much as you want, and it won’t cost much anyway.
"Ah?" Xiaoyou didn't react for a while and was a little dazed.
"Don't you want to come with me?" Chen Xing raised his eyebrows, his expression gradually becoming colder.
Xiaoyou finally understood and burst into tears of joy.
"Yeah, yeah!" She nodded. She was willing to follow an adult and not be used as a toy for entertaining guests at any time on this dirty cargo ship.
As for the boat owner, he would refuse an adult's request unless he was out of his mind, instead of taking advantage of the opportunity to make a fortune.
"Do you still have contact with your adoptive mother?" Chen Xing asked.
"Yes, we occasionally send emails." Xiaoyou replied.
"You make arrangements, I want to see her." Chen Xing said.
"Do you want to buy flowers?" Xiaoyou asked, then realized that it was rude to ask such a question due to his humble status, and immediately covered his mouth with his hand, "Yes, I'm sorry, I didn't mean to ask, I'm sorry..."
Although she apologized repeatedly, she still couldn't avoid a punishment...
