Western mountains.

Ren Huayan was buried under countless rubble, she tried her best to raise her hand, trying to push away the stones pressing on her body, but her strength was always weak, those small stones suddenly became extremely heavy, she tried her best toI can't even move half a minute.

Ren Huayan was breathing hard, and she found that pushing the stone was fruitless, so she could only slowly raise her hand, and tentatively patted the person on her body.

She fell with Qing Niao, because there was a buffer before, they didn't suffer much injuries when they fell, but the gravel fell later, Qing Niao protected her by protecting her, and blocked the stones for her.piece.

"... Qing Niao."

Ren Huayan could barely hear Qing Niao's breathing, she called him in a hoarse voice.

After a pause, she said again:

"elder brother."

Calling out these two words, Ren Huayan wanted to cry inexplicably.

"elder brother……"

Ren Huayan grew up with her elder brother as her only relative.She and her elder brother lived in the outskirts of the Garden of Eden. Their parents died when they were very young, so Ren Huayan was brought up by Ren Qingyu, who was four years older than herself.

Fortunately, the welfare of the residents in Eden is not bad. The lives of the two brothers and sisters are not a problem, and their relationship with their neighbors is also good.Although Ren Qingyu is usually cold and quiet, Ren Huayan is sweet-mouthed and cute. The neighbors like her very much and are willing to take care of them occasionally.

Their life had been peaceful until Ren Huayan was found to be a supernatural person during a routine blood test in Eden when she was six years old.

At that time, several fierce uncles in the uniform of the guards took her to the central city. She was taken into a large courtyard, into a place full of disinfectant smell, and met a very gentle big brother.

That brother was wearing a white coat, squatting in front of her and talking to her. He also gave her a piece of candy and asked her:

"Little sister, can you let me know your ability?"

At that time, Ren Huayan was still young, and she didn't even know what her abilities were, so she could only shake her head when faced with the big brother's question.

"Oh." The big brother sighed:

"Is there really nothing wrong with the report? She is still so young, and she should be sent to the edge of the city according to the regulations? It's a headache, why don't I fight with the White Tower..."

"What are you fighting for? Trying to be lenient to her? Be careful to let Fang Yuan and Yan Jin find a reason to target you again."

On the other side, a serious uncle wearing glasses looked over. He pushed his glasses and was much more kind when facing Ren Huayan.

he asks:

"Little girl, do you have any family?"

"Yes." Ren Huayan nodded:

"There is a brother."

"Only brother? How old is brother?"

"Only my brother, my brother is ten years old."

"...Is your brother a supernatural being?"

Ren Huayan shook her head.

The big brother and uncle in white coats on the opposite side fell silent.

"At such a young age, how can I live alone in a marginal city? How about I find a reason to do experiments and keep her in the research institute, and I will take care of her."

The big brother touched his chin.

"Come on, how can you take care of children, you brat?"

"Hello, Dr. Qin, my humble Ye Fei, I am one hundred and thirty-seven years old this year."

"Are you bickering with me?"

"Don't dare."

The elder brother named Ye Fei laughed twice, then looked at Ren Huayan:

"So, little girl, do you want to stay?"

"..."

Ren Huayan was a little scared, she shook her head.

Ye Fei patiently explained to her:

"According to the regulations, we have become supernatural beings and we are going to be sent to the edge of the city, but you are too young and have no family around you. It is dangerous to go alone. I can find a way to keep you here.Before you find a suitable solution, you can live with me first. Do you want to think about it?"

Ren Huayan looked at Ye Fei, and then at the guard uncle behind her. She felt scared and only wanted to find her brother.

She took half a step back.

"She's not going."

At that moment, a boy's clear and cold voice came from the direction of the door.

Ren Huayan was stunned for a moment. He looked back and saw that Ren Qingyu had followed him at some point. At this time, he was lying on the door of the research institute, staring at Ye Fei with a bit of hostility.

"Are you her brother?" Ye Fei waved at him:

"Come."

Ren Qingyu hesitated for a moment, then rushed over to him.

Ye Fei looked at him and said:

"Did you hear what I just said? She won't be treated harshly if she stays here. If you want, I can bring you to see her often."

Saying that, Ye Fei paused, and pointed to the uncle next to him:

"If you think I'm unreliable, you can talk to him. He has a family and a little elder sister at home."

"Need not."

Ren Qingyu refused without hesitation on behalf of Ren Huayan:

"I will take care of her. I will accompany her wherever she goes. You don't need to worry about it."

"But you are also a child. The fringe urban areas are not like the outer urban areas. You will no longer receive subsidies from the White Tower. You need to work and live by yourself, but you are too young to have a job for you."

Ye Fei patiently explained to the siblings:

"The average age of residents in fringe urban areas is in their twenties and thirties, and your sister is a special exception."

But Ren Qingyu didn't listen, he just insisted:

"I can take care of him."

Ren Huayan didn't say anything, she hid behind her brother, only believed in him, and only listened to his words.

That day, Ye Fei and his uncle persuaded Ren Qingyu for a long time, but Ren Qingyu didn't listen, and he didn't want to separate from his sister.So in the end, they left the Ability Research Institute. Ren Qingyu went to the edge of the city with her as an ordinary person. When leaving, Ren Huayan brought the kitten at home, but the kitten ran away on the roadLost, the uncle of the guard army is very fierce, not letting her chase, Ren Huayan can only hold her brother's hand tightly.

The two brothers and sisters settled down in the fringe city just like that. Ren Qingyu took care of Ren Huayan as before. They didn't encounter any difficulties, because the elder brother and uncle of the research institute found acquaintances in private and arranged a light task for Ren Qingyu.It is a high-paying job, and from time to time, they even find someone to give them something, and they will help them solve any difficulties.

They lived like that in the fringe city. Ren Huayan watched her brother go out early and return late every day. Sometimes she felt a little sad, because her brother was obviously not a supernatural being, but he had to be wronged here with her in order to take care of her.So once, Ren Huayan asked Ren Qingyu:

"Brother, did I drag you down?"

After hearing this, Ren Qingyu just stroked the top of her hair:

"You are not a drag, you are my only family."

Ren Qingyu took good care of Ren Huayan. She would buy her small skirts and make beautiful braids. Ren Huayan would also learn to wash her brother's clothes and rub her shoulders. Although their life is not rich, as long as they are twoBeing together is very satisfying.

Ren Huayan also likes to listen to stories. They have a book of fairy tales at home, and Ren Qingyu retold them to Ren Huayan several times.He didn't go to school, didn't read many books, didn't have many stories to tell, and couldn't always come up with new tricks.

Until one day, when Ren Qingyu was putting her younger sister to bed at night, she told Ren Huayan a new story that she had never heard before.

The story tells of a brother and sister who were abandoned in the woods by their cruel stepmother.Later, they found a candy house in the forest. The owner of the candy house was a lady. She entertained the two brothers and sisters well, but the next day, she put her brother in a cage.

The story ended here, and Ren Qingyu did not continue.

Ren Huayan thought he was trying to trick him, so she tilted her head and asked:

"What happened in the end? What happened in the end?"

Ren Qingyu did not answer.

He heard this story from a mother coaxing a child when he was working, but before she finished telling the story, the child fell asleep, and the story ended here, and Ren Qingyu didn't know the ending.

He shook his head:

"I owe you the ending first, and I will tell you when I ask next time."

Ren Huayan didn't worry any more, just nodded with a smile.

They stayed in the fringe city for a few years. Later, a major event happened in the Garden of Eden, and the supernatural beings in the fringe city were also affected. They were driven out of the protective cover. It was a more cruel world.

Ren Huayan and Ren Qingyu lived in a house in the corner of the hive, and lived with the food subsidized by the hive every day.But the two of them are still children, and they are both growing up. The food that the hive distributes every day is not nutritious enough.

Ren Qingyu also discovered this problem. Then one day, he heard that there were birds inhabiting somewhere outside the hive, so he spent a few days making a slingshot, and prepared to sneak out of the hive with Ren Huayan to hunt the birds..

At that time, the hive was guarded by guards every day, and it was not easy to sneak out. Ren Qingyu spotted the timing of their shift and quietly left the hive with Ren Huayan.

Unfortunately, although the first half of the plan went well, they were finally discovered by the guards.

In the beehive, it is a felony for a person with supernatural powers to leave the guarding area without permission. In desperation, Ren Qingyu left Ren Huayan behind a small slope near the beehive. He hid Ren Huayan and said to her:

"I'll lure people away in a while, and you run back by yourself. Run fast, don't be found."

Ren Huayan has always listened to her brother very much, she nodded, seeing that Ren Qingyu was about to leave, she hurriedly asked:

"What about you, brother?"

"I'm fine, you wait for me at home."

Ren Qingyu finished speaking with a normal expression, and finally raised her hand to rub Ren Huayan's head.

Ren Huayan watched him run away. Later, the guards chased after him. Ren Huayan remembered Ren Qingyu's instructions and took the opportunity to sneak back to the hive.

She ran all the way home, and her heart was pounding because of the strenuous exercise.After returning home, she did nothing, just sat there, obediently waiting for him to come home as Ren Qingyu said.

But she waited for a long time alone, didn't sleep all night, and didn't wait for her brother to knock on the door.

Until the next day, when she went out to collect food, she heard neighbors commenting that someone left the hive without permission yesterday and was captured by the guards.

Ren Huayan knew who they were talking about, but she wasn't worried because her brother had told her to wait for him to come home.

At that time, there was only her elder brother in Ren Huayan's world, and her elder brother would never renege on what he promised her, and Ren Huayan believed it would be the same this time.Therefore, she has been waiting for Ren Qingyu to come home. Even if she later moved to live with her grandparents, she would still often go back to her original home to see if her brother had come back.

Even after she was taken to the White Tower Prison and entered the game, she was still waiting and looking for it.

She waited for many years, searched for many years, and finally she waited and found her, but Ren Qingyu didn't seem to want her to call him brother again.

He became Qing Niao.

Ren Huayan didn't know what she did wrong, she felt a little aggrieved, but now, Blue Bird came to rescue her desperately, holding her in her arms, and reminded Ren Huayan of the feeling when she was a child, as if he was still Ren Qinglanguage.

"elder brother……"

Ren Huayan called him in a low voice, but Qing Niao didn't respond.

"Hey, Ren Huayan, are you here? Are you okay?"

After a while, Ren Huayan heard Esther's voice from outside.Someone was trying to move the stones outside, and the heavy stones were removed from her and Qing Niao's bodies, and Ren Huayan finally saw the light.

"Save him..."

The moment she saw Esther, Ren Huayan couldn't help crying:

"Esther, can you help me save him?"

"Why??"

Esther finally dug the man out of the pile of stones, and when he saw the girl tearing down, he was dumbfounded:

"Don't cry, what's wrong with this bird man?"

As he said that, he subconsciously wanted to reach out to wipe Ren Huayan's tears, but his right shoulder was hit by a stone just now, and it seemed to be broken, and now he can't move at all, and he grinned his teeth in pain.

"I'm not good at saving people. It's okay to find Ye Fei quickly. Let me see... I won't die for a while. It's just a small injury. Don't worry, the people from our death team are all tough and won't die."Something happened."

Esther didn't know if his words comforted Ren Huayan, anyway, he tried his best, but for some reason, Ren Huayan seemed to cry even more sadly.

While crying, she tried her best to drag him out from under the stone, and checked Qing Niao's injuries helplessly.

She was a little flustered, and later, she raised her eyes slightly, and saw a pair of strange yet familiar blue eyes through the hazy tears.

Qing Niao seemed to have woken up. He half-opened his eyes and looked at Ren Huayan quietly.

Ren Huayan was stunned for a moment, she waited for Qing Niao to speak, but later she realized that because of the supernatural power of speech, he couldn't say anything.

Until later, she felt that someone hooked her wrist lightly with a finger.

Ren Huayan looked down, wiped away her tears, spread her palms, and let Qing Niao's fingertips rest on her palms.

The fingertips touched the palm, and it was slightly itchy.

He wrote two words on the palm of her hand, which was what he said to her in his own way:

"Don't cry."
