In the peach forest.
It was the season of falling petals, the beginning of an imperfect fairy tale.
"Bird, bird, wait for me …"
A brown thrush flew through the forest, and behind it was a little girl who looked like she was carved out of jade. She was about five or six years old, and her expression was cheerful. She laughed like a silver bell, as if she was a canary that had just escaped from its cage. Her long black hair was like a silver waterfall, and it drew lines of black silk in the air.
Suddenly, there was a "kacha" sound, and a peach branch fell from the top of the little girl's head because the branch had snapped.
The little girl seemed to have sensed something, and when she looked up, she couldn't help but turn pale with fright.
"Dodge!"
At this time, a black figure jumped down from the tree before the peach branch, and forcefully pushed the little girl away.
"Ouch!"
Two cries of pain rang out at the same time. The black figure was also a little boy around five or six years old, and he was carrying a sheathed sword that was even longer than his height. He was hit by the peach branch, and he staggered, falling to the ground.
The little girl was pushed with force, and was caught off guard. She sat on the limestone path, and her little butt directly blossomed. How could she not cry out in pain?
The little girl's shoulders shook, and her pink lips pouted. She actually cried out loudly, "Wu wu wu, Empress Mother, where are you? It hurts so much, wu wu wu …"
The boy was dizzy from the fall, and after struggling to sit up with great difficulty, he suddenly felt pain on his face. Using his hand to touch it, he found a trace of blood. It turned out to be a shallow cut made by the peach branch.
His shoulders shook, and his lips flattened as he also cried loudly, "Wu wu wu, Mother, Aunt Yun, where are you? Fan 'er is bleeding, Fan' er is going to die, wu wu wu …"
After crying for a while, no one came to take care of her. The little girl gradually stopped crying, and said with a choked voice, "You're so ashamed, you're a man, and yet you're crying, it's so ugly."
The boy ignored her, and continued to cry bitterly, because he felt that he was going to die soon.
At this time, his butt gradually stopped hurting, and the little girl said angrily, "It's just a little blood, you won't die. Why are you crying, you're so noisy."
"Won't die? Won't die?" The boy quickly crawled in front of the girl and stared at her with wide eyes.
"Hmph, I've seen people who bleed even more than you don't die. You really don't know much." The girl was as proud as a peacock spreading its tail.
"Aunt Yun said: Life is priceless. What's so shameful about crying for your own life? "The boy muttered indignantly.
"Life is priceless?"
"Of course, this is what Aunt Yun said."
"Who is Aunt Yun?"
"Aunt Yun is Aunt Yun."
"That's why I asked you who Aunt Yun is."
"Aunt Yun is Aunt Yun, my favorite Aunt Yun, who else could it be?"
The boy stood up and reached out to the girl. "I used too much force just now. I'm sorry. Are you hurt?"
The girl grabbed his hand and stood up. She patted the dust off her face and smiled. "You did it to save me, right? I won't hold it against you. I still have to thank you. If you didn't push me away in time, the one bleeding right now would be me. "
The boy patted his chest. "No need, no need. I want to become a great hero in the future. Saving you is just a small matter."
"What is a hero?" The girl asked curiously.
The boy was startled. "A hero is a hero."
The girl changed her approach. "What does a hero do? How can one become a hero? "
The boy didn't seem to understand this question. He couldn't help but scratch his ears. "A hero is … is … uh … hmm …"
"Ah, I got it!" His eyes suddenly lit up. He shook his head and said, "Mother said: A hero has the ambition to reach the clouds, the courage to swallow mountains and rivers, the breadth of the nine continents, the breadth of the four seas, the shoulder of justice, to save the people from disaster, to solve the people's problems …"
"Pfft!" The girl suddenly couldn't help but laugh. "You don't even know what a hero is. You want to be a hero?"
The boy smiled shyly. "This is mother's wish. But Aunt Yun said that I have to do what I want to do in order to be happy."
"Then what do you want to be?" A breeze brushed past. The girl smoothed her messy hair. Her bright eyes moved and she smiled sweetly. At this time, she had already begun to show her beauty. Every frown and smile touched people's hearts.
The boy was stunned. His heart thumped. He was a little nervous. "I, I … I'll tell you. Don't laugh at me …"
"Tell me."
"I, I want to be a bandit."
"What?" The girl didn't laugh. Instead, she angrily pulled a face. "No, bandits are all bad guys. How can you be a bandit!"
"Because, because bandits are free and unrestrained. They can drink as much as they want, eat as much as they want, eat as much meat as they want, and do whatever they want. They don't have so many rules …"
The girl said angrily. "No matter who taught you, I won't allow you to be a bandit."
The boy was unconvinced. "Why should I? You're not my mother."
"Because, because, because …" The girl thought hard for a moment. Suddenly, she had an idea. "Because you're my hero."
"Ah?" The boy was stunned.
"Because you're my hero." The girl repeated again. She beamed. "Think about it. You saved me just now, right? So you're my hero. You can't be a bandit. "
"I'm your hero?" The boy said in a daze.
The girl said with certainty, "You're my hero."
Many, many years later, when the girl once again encountered difficulties, the hero stood up.
Even though his legs were trembling and his back was drenched in cold sweat, turning into a chill that ran up and down his spine.
It wasn't like this! I'm being controlled!
Even though he shouted this in his heart, this was his instinct. He wouldn't allow anyone to bully her.
"My name is Yan Li. I'm the culprit that Lord Martial God mentioned." Yan Li grinned under Li Yong's murderous gaze.
Ji Tiansheng was stunned. He didn't understand why Li Yong would take the initiative to stand up and provoke an enemy like Wang Ba.
He might even be killed on the spot. For a bandit, this was a very irrational move. Putting one's own safety before anything else was the way of life.
Wang Ba squinted at Yan Li. After a while, he said, "I've heard of your name. You've caused quite a ruckus in the capital. But I can't understand why a bandit who has done so much evil would stand in such a sacred place. "
He turned to Ji Tiansheng and said calmly, "Your Majesty, can you answer this subject's question?"
"Don't rush. Let's take things one at a time." Yan Li smiled. "Can General Wang answer my next question?"
"Why not?" Wang Ba said.
