Chapter 99 Childhood Sweethearts

Chapter 99 Childhood Sweethearts

(Ninety-nine)

Shen Tanqi watched her walking away step by step in the windy and snowy night. His heart felt inexplicably empty, and his body couldn't stop trembling. A floating light floated in front of him, flickering and beating, and dangled in his hand.

He stretched out his hand and touched it, and the falling snowflakes between the sky and the earth disappeared in an instant.

In the thick fog, he saw the child lying on the bed and sleeping soundly, while the woman stood beside his bed, wiping the cold sweat from his forehead over and over again.

"It's going to get better. Don't be afraid, Ah Qi. Just hold on. Dad has received the news and will be here soon." She choked with sobs and comforted her, her tears falling on the quilt drop by drop, leaving a bitter wet streak..

She hadn't found the shark yet, so her family had invited several powerful monks from the Feiluan Sect. They checked Ah Qi's pulse, but they all just shook their heads. No one could cure her family's Ah Qi's illness.

She tucked in the quilt, kissed the child's wet forehead, put on her coat and went out.

The shark must be found. This is the last chance for her and Ah Qi.

Walking on the crunchy and heavy snow, she held a paper umbrella and walked hobblingly around the long street, asking around.

The idle old men on the street started discussing.

"I haven't seen any demon clan before. Go to Wenqiucheng to find the demon clan. There are many demons in Wenqiu."

"What a bullshit shark, you believe the lies of those storytellers? The shark race is so rare in this world. If there really were sharks, they would have been enshrined by the city lord's mansion long ago!"

The City Lord's Mansion, yes, maybe you can find out the whereabouts of the shark from the City Lord's Mansion.

She was stunned for a moment, then quickly thanked the man, and then hurriedly rushed towards the main palace of Yudong City.

After she left, Shen Tanqi followed quickly and heard the sneers of the old men: "There really are sharks, how could she invite them?"

"The sharks are just random fabrications by scriptwriters. They say that the shark beads can communicate with the past, present and future, and send people to very far away places. They make it up like gods. If there really is such a thing, it has been gone for a long time.You know how many people have come from the future, why haven’t I seen any of them?”

"That's right, I heard rumors that the sharks don't grant people's wishes for free. Asking for help from the sharks is tantamount to seeking the skin of a tiger."

"I've also heard that if a shark wants to fulfill a mortal's wish, he will eat the mortal alive. That woman doesn't have a few ounces of meat on her body. I guess the shark won't even bother to eat her."

A group of bastards immediately burst out laughing. Shen Tanqi looked back at them coldly, knowing that this was all in the past, but he still felt unbearably depressed.

He didn't want to watch these painful scenes anymore, but the light of the shark beads hadn't appeared yet, so Shen Tanqi had to follow the woman silently, watching her so cold that she rubbed her hands and breathed, with snowflakes still hanging on her eyelashes, and her heart feltShe was so sore that I really wanted to cover her hands with her, and I wanted to take off all my clothes and put them on her body.

Why is it so sad? They clearly don't share the same blood.

"Aqi..." The woman's face was extremely pale from the cold, and her spirit could no longer hold up. She seemed to be hanging on with only one breath left. "If Shark Pearl can really send you away, as long as you live, you can go as far as possible."The better.”

Shen Tanqi was stunned immediately, chewing her words in his mouth over and over again, "The further away, the better, send me away?"

When he was ten years old, he was hit by a flower pot thrown from upstairs and suffered a concussion. He lost all memories before the age of ten.In the book, Shen Tanqi fell seriously ill at the age of ten and almost lost half of his life.

A bold guess suddenly came to mind. Maybe... he was already living in this world?

It was the Deep Sea Shark Pearl that sent him to another world.

This sentence popped into my mind.

Shen Tanqi's fingertips trembled slightly. That deep-sea shark bead might really have the ability to send people to farther places - sending the ten-year-old him to another world just to save his life.

In this way, everything goes smoothly. How could a gentle and kind-hearted person like the eldest lady teach such a vicious and vicious playboy? This does not make sense!

He looked at the eldest lady excitedly and waved his hands vigorously in front of her, "Mom, you are my mother, right?"

The eldest lady was unaware that she was the person in her memory, so she could not hear Shen Tanqi's anxious shouts.

"Mom, please talk, okay?" Shen Tanqi's tears fell one by one. He wanted to hug the eldest lady tightly, but he could only touch nothingness. "I'm back, and I will live well., look at me."

Please, look at me, okay?

I have grown taller, I can hold a sword, I have got a good ranking in the sect competition, and I am also valued by many elders. I have a wonderful husband and three lovely children. I will cure my father's disease in the future., I will run the Shen family well and protect Shuoxia City. I am living a good life now, but you... can never be seen again.

Tears fell into the snow and were swallowed up by the boundless whiteness.

The tears dried up and his voice became hoarse from crying. Shen Tanqi gradually calmed down, just like he did when he was a child, like a follower, quietly following the eldest lady and wiping the tears from the corners of his eyes.

It's okay to look at it for a while longer, Shark Pearl, Shark Pearl, can you let him see his mother's smile again.

I just want to see her smile again.

After walking for an unknown amount of time, the woman finally arrived in front of the city lord's mansion. The mansion of the city lord Yudong was not as grand as Shuoxia City. The dead leaves of the old tree at the door fell into the snow, and the red plums crushed into the dust and mud, making the place feel lonely and desolate.

The woman knocked on the door tentatively, her fingers red and stiff from the cold. She lowered her head and stamped her feet.

"anyone there?"

"The daughter of the people asks to see the Lord of the City."

In this weather, everyone is staying at home on the warm and comfortable stove. No one comes out to walk around, and there is not even a guard in front of the city lord's mansion.

She stamped her feet again, as if her toes were about to lose feeling. She looked around anxiously, only to see a thin figure buried in the heavy snow under the eaves near the City Lord's Mansion.

Why is there a child outside in such crazy weather?

The woman was startled, quickly walked over, wiped the villain's face away, and immediately breathed a sigh of relief.

The child's face was so red from the cold, and his eyelashes were stuck with snowflakes that he couldn't open them. The woman put her hand on his forehead, and found that it was even brighter than her own hand that was so cold that she couldn't feel anything.body temperature.

But his face was so red, as if he had caught a cold.She took off the hood on her head, tightly wrapped it around the child's face, looked at the City Lord's Mansion in front of her, and sighed.

Shen Tanqi was far away and couldn't see the child's face under the hood. He was stunned and followed closely. He saw the woman holding the child and running all the way. She stumbled to the hospital where she was holding Ah Qi for treatment that day..

"How many times have I told you that your child cannot be cured..."

The woman raised her lips, smiled with difficulty, and said, "This time it's not my child."

She took off the hood on the child's head in her arms. Shen Tanqi's eyes widened in an instant, and he moved incredulously, staring at the child's face carefully.

Isn't this... isn't this ten-year-old Yu Ce?

The eldest lady had actually met Yu Ce as early as twelve years ago.

Shen Tanqi's heart beat slightly, as if he felt that he was destined to meet Yu Ce.

When the doctor saw Xiao Yuce, his eyes widened in shock: "Hey, he is about to freeze to death. How do you take care of the child?"

Last time I brought a sick man suffering from apathy, this time I brought a sick man who was about to freeze to death.

What happened to this woman?

The woman pursed her lips and said, "This is not my child, I just saw it on the roadside."

After hearing her words, the doctor didn't know what to say for a moment. He pursed his lips for a long time and only said: "Okay, you are kind-hearted, so this child is lucky."

He called the medicine boys to come over and carried little Yuce to the small wooden bed in the hospital. The doctor stretched out his hand and pressed on little Yuce's pulse, and said in surprise: "Oh, he is still a little monster. I have never cured monsters before."If the patient is ill, we can only give him a warm-up medicine according to the person's prescription first."

The woman nodded, knowing that there was no other way. After all, except for Wenqiucheng, there were no specialized medical centers for the demon clan in the nearby cities.The medicine boys poured a bowl of hot, dark soup into Xiao Yuce's mouth. Xiao Yuce couldn't drink it and choked several times. He slowly opened his eyes. When he saw the person in front of him, he subconsciously touched himself.The soft sword at the waist.

He touched it a few times and heard the woman in front of him whisper: "What are you looking for?"

The woman shook the soft sword in her hand. Xiao Yuce looked at her in astonishment and immediately struggled to get up to grab the sword in her hand, but the woman gently held her shoulder and pushed her back.

"Don't move. The doctor is treating you. You are weak, so rest well." The woman took out the sling money from her arms, stuffed it into the palm of the doctor beside her, and said, "When he is cured, please ask the doctor to help him."Some medicine to keep you healthy."

The doctor nodded, looked at the hanging coins, sighed, and took only a few tokens: "It's hard for you to have such kindness. The soup and medicine this child drank are not expensive. You can take the rest back with you.Children are not in a hurry to get medical treatment, money will always be needed."

The woman's eyes darkened, and whenever she heard words related to Ah Qi, her eyes could not help but moisten. She turned away her face and said in a low voice: "Doctors and doctors are benevolent. In this case, leave this money to this child.He is all alone, so I'm afraid he will suffer a lot."

Shen Tanqi stared blankly as she stuffed the sling of money into little Yuce's pocket. Suddenly, he recalled that when Yuce was ten years old, little Yuce wore a curtain hat and opened his mouth to find something.The shopkeeper wants an upper room in a Tianzihao room.

He couldn't help laughing, it turned out that this is where Yu Ce's money came from.

Mom, she is really a very gentle and kind person.

Shen Tanqi's eyes were clear and he clenched his fingers tightly. He would definitely not let his mother down, and he would also fulfill what he promised his mother in the first place.Practice hard, study hard, and become a great hero!

"In that case, I will leave first. My son's illness cannot be delayed." The woman nodded and smiled at Xiao Yuce who was on the sickbed. "If you can't afford to eat in the future, you can go all the way north to Shuoxia City., just tell the Shen family your name, and the Shen family will definitely give you food."

At this time, the Shen family often helped poor people and homeless people. This child was so thin that he had trouble with two chopsticks.

Xiao Yuce's eyes fell heavily on the woman's face, as if he still didn't relax his vigilance.Shen Tanqi guessed that this was not long after Yu Ce escaped from the Hidden Dragon Valley. He had no money, no one he knew, and was wandering around. This was the time when he was at his most depressed.It seems that he has been deceived a lot and suffered a lot of losses, which is why he doesn't trust humans.

After a long time, seeing the woman about to leave, Xiao Yuce actually spoke out, but his voice seemed to be burned out and he was hoarse: "My name is Yuce. Thank you for your life-saving grace. My benefactor's kindness, Yuce will definitely come back to me in the future."The spring repays the favor."

"Yu Ce, that's a good name, I remember it." The woman chuckled, picked up the hood from him, and said, "But I can't give this hat to you. It belongs to my son. He will be with you this year.You are about the same age."

After a pause, the woman remembered that Ah Qi always said that he hated those cousins, saying that they looked at her like a fat piece of fat, and they would fawn over them on their faces, but in fact they always said something about him behind their backs.Bad words.

After a pause in her thoughts, she suddenly said: "I don't ask you to repay your kindness. When my son recovers, how about you come to Shuoxia City to be his companion. My son is in need of a companion to study with, and you are just the right one.""

Companion, reading companion?

Shen Tanqi looked at the eldest lady in shock, and then at Xiao Yuce.

Xiao Yuce was stunned, and soon understood what the other party meant. He was in ragged clothes and almost froze to death on the street. The other party probably thought he was a homeless beggar.

But he had to accept this kindness.

After all, he was still not old enough to become a disciple of Rongyun Sect, so he should find a place to settle down.

Thinking of this, Xiao Yuce ignored the dissuasion of the medicine boy next to him, tried hard to sit up from the bed, saluted the woman and said: "In half a year, Yuce will definitely go to read to the young master."

The woman covered her lips and smiled. This was the first time she had sincerely smiled in these days, but she quickly suppressed that smile. She said in a low voice: "Okay, then, this is the relationship between you and me.The agreement has been made for half a year. If you hook your fingers, the agreement will be established. You can't go back on it."

Her Ah Qi will definitely survive, and everything will be fine by then.

Shen Tanqi's eyes looked back and forth between the two of them, and in an instant he connected all the causes and consequences in his memory. He was so enlightened that his eyes widened in realization.

It turns out that the appointment Xiao Yuce mentioned at that time was the half-year appointment with Shen Tanqi's mother. Yuce went to Shuoxia City for an old appointment and to repay the eldest lady's kindness.Silly Dragon doesn’t even know the true identity of the eldest lady now.

Stupid dragon, you have a long mouth, don’t you know what your wife’s name is?

If it hadn't been for this serious illness and the eldest lady hadn't died, Yu Ce would have gone to Shuoxia City to be his companion...

Without the death of the eldest lady, the head of the Shen family would not have strictly prohibited the demon clan from entering the city. They would have grown up, played, and practiced together. They might have become the best of friends, and would have joined the Rongyun Sect together, becoming childhood sweethearts.Like limbs.

They could have known each other earlier.

He stood there stunned, watching Xiao Yuce stretch out his finger, hesitantly and cautiously, and hooked the woman's little finger.

"Once a word is spoken, it is hard to follow."
