Chapter 8 The Second and Third
When Miao Yi was eight years old, his family suffered a fire and he became a loner, and was almost sent to the "Wishful Thinking House".
The so-called "House of Compassion" is a place of charity for widows, widowers, orphans, and those who are incapable of making a living.
It was a world dominated by cultivators, where the powerful placed statues of themselves in every house, and the commoners worshipped them as gods, spending three hours every day praying to the shrine and contributing their own wishes.
Those who were sent to the "Ciwanfu", in addition to eating, drinking and sleeping, almost all the time to pray to the shrine, to contribute their wish power, and the captive pig is no different, living an inhuman life.
Fortunately, Lu Xuexin's parents, who were also neighbors, took Miao Yi in, otherwise all orphans under the age of ten would have to be sent to the "House of Wishes".
Two years later, the Lu family suffered a fire one night, and the couple was also killed in the fire, leaving behind a five-year-old daughter.
For a while, Miao Yi became the star of disaster in everyone's mouth, but some people don't believe in evil.
To put it bluntly, he didn't want to see the two children being pitied, and Zhang Butcher's family, who sells meat on the street, adopted two more children.
As a result, two years later, Mr. and Mrs. Butcher Zhang encountered a mountain fire while working outside, and a pair of kind-hearted people were buried in the fire, and another child became an orphan, so Miao Yi became the "Lone Star of Heavenly Fury" in everyone's mouth, and no one dared to take him in any more.
Fortunately, in the Zhang butcher's home in these two years, Miao Yi is not in vain, he did not want to take "sister" Lu Xuexin eat white rice, often take the initiative to help Zhang butcher odd jobs, so learned to kill pigs.
That year, Miao Yi was twelve years old, picked up the butcher's knife left behind, ready to rely on their own ability to feed their younger siblings.
However, at this time, Huang Bao Chang, who was responsible for managing this area in the city, brought people to the door, because Zhang Xiaofat and Lu Xuexin did not have an adult to take care of them, and neither of them had reached the age of ten, so they had to send them as orphans to the "Wishful Thinking House" in the city.
Miao Yi was in a hurry, carrying Lu Xuexin on his back, holding Zhang Little Fatty in one hand, holding a pig knife and the crowd confrontation, refused to let people take his younger siblings away.
When he became an orphan, Lu Xuexin's parents didn't let himself be sent into the "Wishful Thinking House", when he and Lu Xuexin were both orphaned, Zhang Tuofu and his wife didn't let the two of them be sent into the "Wishful Thinking House", Miao Yi couldn't just stand by and watch his adoptive parents' children being sent into the "Wishful Thinking House". Miao Yi could not stand by and watch his adoptive parents' children being sent to the Ciwanfu.
At that time, Miao Yi knew that it was useless to come to the hard way, and that he could not win against a group of adults at his young age, so when he faced Huang Baochang and the others, he directly gave himself up and shouted for help in the surrounding area, causing a group of neighbors to come and watch. Miao Yi took the opportunity to ask for justice, and then directly with a pig knife in their thighs inserted a knife, indicating that the heart, rather than die will not let his younger siblings to go to the Ciwan House, saying that he has the ability to feed his younger siblings.
Looking at Miao Yi with blood flowing from his thigh, the neighbors were moved, so they all told Huang Baochang not to be too unethical.
In the neighborhood under the pressure of the neighbors, Huang Baochang is not good to do too much to cause public anger, after all, we are usually head up to see the neighbors, can only be annoyed to leave.
As a result, Huang's family seems to have been not very cold to Miao Yi, his son Huang Cheng often come to find Miao Yi's fault.
However, to Miao Yi, none of this mattered. Anyway, from that day onwards, no matter how hard he suffered, at a young age, he relied on killing pigs for a living, and not only supported his younger siblings, but also endeavored to pay for his younger siblings to go to school, and as long as the average person's child could enjoy the treatment, he tried to provide it.
And the mansion where the three siblings live is exactly what the Zhang Butcher couple left behind, so the neighbors usually call Miao Yi as the Zhang family boss.
Hearing the familiar name and seeing the familiar people, Miao Yi finally confirms that he has really come out from the ten thousand feet of red dust.
Looking back at the treacherous sea of fog behind him, for a moment, he actually has some mixed feelings of sadness and joy, outsiders can't imagine the danger inside, how many times have he escaped from death, he has finally come out!
Also safe! In order to maintain the order, the walls of the ancient city were guarded by Immortals, even if people knew that he had treasures on him, no one dared to rob here.
However, he still remained more or less vigilant in his heart, and without striking up a conversation, he quickly broke away from the crowd under everyone's gaze and walked towards the direction of the ancient city.
Many people's gazes fell on Miao Yi's parcel, speculating whether he had found any treasures inside, after all, there were not a few people who were scared and came out empty-handed.
The ancient city is only two miles away from the treacherous "Ten Thousand Red Dust", the ancestors of the residents of Miao Yi's city, the earliest time they lived in this ancient city, but after some earth-shattering drastic changes appeared in this extermination array, the sunlight of most of the day was blocked by the haze of blood. For ordinary people's lives, the lack of half of the sunlight will cause no small impact, such as simple sun clothes, so moved to a dozen miles away to rebuild a new city.
Whenever the "Ten Thousand Fathoms of Red Dust" opens, the local authorities will organize the renovation of the ancient city to welcome a large number of cultivators.
Brother and sister three agreed to meet in the ancient city wall next to an old willow tree, a few years ago by the lightning to the old willow tree, brother and sister three this time to come but surprised to find that the old dead willow tree actually resurrected, so agreed to meet under the tree.
Under the shade of the tree, a fat round-bellied little fat, witty and cunning eyes through the anxiety, constantly looking around.
A small girl with a maiden braid, sitting with her back against the old willow tree, powdered and carved, a natural beauty, but both eyes red and swollen, seemingly crying.
"Could big brother be dead?" Little girl grabbed Little Fatty's pants whimpering.
Little fat man bawled, "Crow's mouth, did not listen to the neighbors said well, big brother is the 'Lone Star of the Heavenly Fury', other people die all can not take the turn of big brother to die."
Although the words say, but he was full of anxiety in the eyes but betrayed the idea of the heart, ten thousand feet of red dust before the opening of a few months, big brother suddenly let him learn to kill pigs, then he knew that big brother has done in case of emergency, once the big brother had an accident, he also has a craft to take care of his sister to continue to make ends meet.
Both siblings do not want big brother to take this risk, but can not stop.
Fatty older, know the idea of the big brother, the neighbors say that the big brother is a "heavenly lone star" killed two siblings of the parents, perhaps to pay back the favor, perhaps guilt, perhaps to the neighbors to prove what, as long as there is an opportunity, the big brother will go out for the two siblings to fight for a better life, this time there is an opportunity to let the two siblings to become immortals, big brother is even more willing to play with his life.
"Oooh, is it that we have dragged big brother down? I heard people say that the old Li family from the tofu store across the street refused to marry Sister Li to Brother as their daughter-in-law because there are two of us little encumbrances in the family." The little girl cried and cried.
"Lao San, stop crying, it's annoying to cry."
While Little Fatty was patting the little girl's head impatiently, he suddenly heard a familiar voice shout, "Lao Er, Lao San."
Little Fatty and Little Girl snapped their heads up to look, only to see a person who looked like he had crawled out of a coal pile, speeding up his steps and running.
"Big brother! Big brother!"
With a cry of surprise, Little Girl jumped up and rushed out with Little Fatty.
The three siblings hugged each other, overjoyed.
As soon as the three of them separated, the little girl immediately helped Miao Yi to pat the body, and the little fat man smiled lewdly and said, "The oldest three are still worried that you will die inside, old Zhang I said, what is the big brother, who will die can't die big brother's head ah!"
Finished looking around, sneakily came to Miao Yi's ear, whispered: "Big brother, you personally horse, there is no hand?"
Looking at him like that, he knew that it was not something good. It is also true that Zhang Xiaofat has been doing nothing wrong since he was a child, and likes to do a little bit of stealing chickens and dogs, and the neighborhood hates itchy teeth, and regrets how not to let this kid into the "Ciwan House", or less of a scourge.
Miao Yi patted the bulging chest, hinted.
"Really?" Fatty Zhang and Lu Yaotou's eyes immediately lit up.
Miao Yi slightly shook his head and looked around, signaling to keep it quiet.
Zhang little fat man like a fox who stole the chicken, hands holding the fat stomach, hehehe a burst of road: "Damn, the old Huang family is not just a beautiful daughter to give the immortal as a maid of honor, rely on the daughter to mix a bailiff to do it would dare to always bully to our head, turn around and so we that what, see how old Zhang I pack the Huang family, especially the yellow into that son of a bitch, not to pinch his eggs out of the unavoidable, there is a grudge! Not to report is not a gentleman, all give me wait!"
While he is having a good time here, Miao Yi's face changes.
As the saying goes, "the road is narrow, here talking about Huang Baochang, we saw Huang Baochang led a dozen of people with knives appeared.
