The room was dark, with only the dappled light coming through the curtains flickering on and off.
A lonely man and a widow live together in the same room.
Xue Yun was lying on the floor, tossing and turning for no reason, but he didn't feel sleepy at all.
"Minister Xue"
A soft voice suddenly broke the calm.
Dongfang Haoyue on the bed suddenly asked: "Are you already asleep?"
"Fell asleep."
Staring straight at the dark ceiling.
Xue Yun let out a long sigh and deliberately joked: "And I also dreamed about a lot of delicious food, and many beauties with hot bodies"
I was speechless for a while.
Dongfang Haoyue was at a loss for words, and for a moment she found this situation very interesting.
"Minister Xue, can I ask you a question?"
"If you have something to say, just say it!"
Turned over.
Xue Yun chose to be facing the bed, drooped his eyelids, and complained feebly: "After asking, go to bed quickly, don't disturb my daydreaming"
He pondered for a moment.
Dongfang Haoyue asked: "Is this your first time to meet a girl like me who comes to sleep with you?"
Hear the words.
Xue Yun was suddenly startled.
Deep in the memory, a figure that had not been remembered for many years suddenly came into view.
This person is exactly Yao Qin back then¡ª¡ª
Thirteen years ago.
Xue Yun was penniless when he was just starting out, and the first job he took was a demon-killing mission issued by Tianqin Group.
Because of this, he and Yao Qin, who is Qin Zhiqiang¡¯s adopted daughter, got to know each other.
That night.
Also under Qin Zhiqiang¡¯s arrangement, Yao Qin took the initiative to knock on the door, almost exactly like Dongfang Haoyue today.
"I have," Xue Yun responded.
There was silence for a while.
Obviously shocked by this frank reply, Dongfang Haoyue tentatively asked again: "So, you accept it?"
"of course not."
Unconsciously, I fell into memories.
Xue Yun let out a long sigh and said with a wry smile: "At that time, I was just a newcomer who had just debuted. Not only was I powerless, but my strength was also very average. At that time, I only thought about making money and women's affairs. I don¡¯t dare to think too much about it.¡±
There was a pause.
Xue Yun continued: "But because of this incident, I forged a fate with that girl. When she finally had no choice, I took her in. Looking back now, it was actually quite stupid"
Reminiscing about the past.
Xue Yun¡¯s heart was inexplicably filled with regret.
¡°If she hadn¡¯t meddle in other people¡¯s business back then, maybe Yao Qin would have had a way out.
At least.
Rather than being captured alive by the "Apostle of Judgment", in the end his self-consciousness was extracted by Hassen and became the sacrificial material for resurrecting the "Chosen One".
"It's stupid, I don't think so"
Thinking of what happened to me now and Xue Yun's attitude towards me.
Dongfang Haoyue couldn't help but feel warm in her heart, and said with a smile: "Minister Xue, you are a good person."
? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ?
You are the good person, and your whole fucking family is a good person!
He rolled his eyes silently.
Xue Yun complained crazily in his heart. In his opinion, what this girl just said was like pointing at his nose and scolding his mother.
This world.
There are fewer and fewer "good people" who do things according to their conscience without asking for anything in return.
And, usually none of them end well.
What's more.
You will be spurned and insulted by thousands of people, trampling on this bottom line of kindness, and criticizing you at will.
I don¡¯t know when it started.
This phenomenon has become a distorted value system in mainstream society.
It seems to have become a perverted fashion, being accepted by more and more young people, and even enjoying it endlessly.
? Empathy and kindness as a human being¡ª¡ª
??has long become synonymous with the weak. After all, right and wrong are no match for mere trade-offs of interests.
This is undoubtedly the tragedy of an era!
"What happened to that girl?" Dongfang Haoyue asked again.
"died."
? ?The light is deep.
Xue Yun stared at the dark wall and said bluntly: "That year, someone wanted to invade Longdu. That girl was unlucky and was captured alive by the enemy and became a victim of the war."
"With my ability at the time, I couldn't save her"
There was a pause.
Xue Yun smiled bitterly and said: "There are too many people who want her life."
The tone was full of sadness and helplessness. The limited personal strength led to the series of tragedies that year.
Actually, it¡¯s not just Yao Qin?
Former city lord Hu Haiquan, Longdu war god Beigong Mu, and thousands of national night watchmen who died because of this.
They all gave their lives for this.
Thinking of these passing faces, Xue Yun closed his eyes and couldn't help but take a deep breath.
I swore secretly in my heart.
We will never let such a tragedy happen again. No matter what kind of chaos the world becomes, we must protect Longdu.
"It's such a pity."
We learned about Yao Qin¡¯s final fate.
Dongfang Haoyue's tone suddenly became depressed, and she sighed softly: "However, for a girl who can be easily sent out as a bargaining chip, death may be a kind of relief for her."
As soon as these words came out.
Xue Yun immediately felt something was wrong. After turning over and sitting up, he looked back at the bed behind him.
"You also know, my life experience"
He had already stood up and leaned on the bed.
The girl in front of her looked out the dark window, a ray of moonlight reflected her delicate face, and in her eyes, there seemed to be little stars twinkling.
"My father is the lord of Rabbit City, but my mother is a servant of humble origin"
More than twenty years ago.
At that time, Dongfang Qi was just the crown prince of Tucheng. After getting drunk, the servants and maids around him unexpectedly became pregnant with a child.
original.
Dongfang Haoyue didn't even have a chance to be born. It was her mother's pleading that gave her the chance to be born into this world.
But the huge disparity in status is a gap that can never be bridged in this apocalyptic wasteland era.
Starting from the beginning.
Dongfang Haoyue has never been recognized by Dongfang Qi. She has always lived a precarious life, following her mother and doing odd jobs in the Lord's Mansion of Rabbit City.
It wasn¡¯t until she turned twenty that she accidentally awakened the force field talent in her body, and her life ushered in a huge turning point.
"I thought that becoming a night watchman would make my mother and I's life better, but now it seems that all this is just wishful thinking on my part."
Became a night watchman.
Dongfang Haoyue was arranged to join the Tucheng War Readiness Department, but what she didn't expect was that her work was basically dirty and tiring work that others were unwilling to do.
In the circle of night watchmen, everyone still looked down upon her, especially Dongfang Qi¡¯s first wife, Liu Shi, who made things difficult for her in every possible way and wanted to get rid of her several times. (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
