Chapter 347 Past Events
"Yeah."
Qian Chengxue replied confidently.
"Hey~ Actually, my parents died in a car accident when I was born. I have been living with my grandpa, and those days were the happiest days in my life. But then my grandpa also passed away. He was peaceful and happy when he left. . Because he told me that there was someone waiting for him down there, and he didn’t want her to wait any longer. Then I lived alone every day. I just stay at home and play games, go to bed when I'm tired, continue playing when I wake up, and go find food when I'm hungry. It's not that my life is not good, but I feel that my world is abnormal. Cold, numb, as if the whole world has lost its color. Sometimes I even feel like a walking zombie.”
Su Mo said as he fell into memories little by little.
Qian Chengxue, who was sitting aside, was touched when she heard Su Mo's words, and her eyes became more complicated. She could empathize with everything Su Mo said. She finally understood why, when she met Su Mo for the first time, she felt that this stranger was similar to her in some aspects. It turned out that he was the same kind of person.
Su Mo continued: "I originally thought that I would live alone in this boring life. Then by chance, I accidentally broke into the guild's defensive position. I saw the guild's companions unite and help each other to resist the monsters. They are not as cluttered and indifferent as other guilds, and they feel quite warm, so I joined the guild by accident. In fact, the period of joining the guild has been the happiest time I have lived in these years. I feel that I have a lot more life. A little color.”
Qian Chengxue listened quietly, the evening wind blowing her hair on the temples.
After a long time, Su Mo turned to look at Qian Chengxue and said, "Can I ask you a question?"
"You said."
"Why are you working so hard? With your status and financial resources, you can live a good life. Why do you have to work so hard in the star ring, even if you risk everything? There are several times when you can cash out and leave decently. .”
Qian Chengxue looked at the starry sky above her head, remained silent for a long time, and finally spoke openly.
"My life is actually no different from yours, even worse than yours. Before I was six years old, when my mother was still alive, I lived a carefree and warm life. But since my mother left, everything has changed. Everyone showed deep malice, and my father also changed I felt very indifferent, like a stranger. And for the rest of my life, I lived under intense study and oppression. If I didn't do anything well, I would be locked up without food at the least, or at worst. A beating, but it doesn’t matter.”
Qian Chengxue took a deep breath and continued.
"The most suffocating thing is the indifference from the heart. The whole family is like a cold shackles, locking you and making you numb, like a walking zombie. And the reason why I bet everything on Star Circle is that Because I want to break this shackles, break away from all this, and get a new life.”
In fact, Qian Chengxue still has a secret buried deep in her heart that she has not revealed. The most important reason why she is so eager to succeed is one more important thing. Due to her mother's humble status, she did not even have a status after her death, and she has not yet entered the Ye family's ancestral hall. This was a sharp thorn in her heart, and it was also a hurdle that she could not overcome in her life.
Listening to Qian Chengxue's words, Su Mo felt a little heartache for no reason.
"Of course all this is a luxury"
Qian Chengxue said mockingly.
"Actually, you have done a good job."
Su Mo raised his head and looked into Qian Chengxue's clear and bright eyes.
The two looked at each other, and the world seemed to have stopped at this moment.
But soon, the two of them turned away shyly
The next morning, when the sky brightened slightly, the goose-feather heavy snow fell again.
Su Mo and Qian Chengxue stood up and prepared to move on.
"Eat some jerky to replenish your strength."
Before setting off, Qian Chengxue handed a piece of beef jerky to Su Mo.
"Okay."
Su Mo took it naturally,
The two of them walked through the forest.
They looked after each other along the way. The scenery along the way was very beautiful. The two occasionally chatted. Not only was the boring journey not boring, the two of them cherished this rare and pleasant time.
Until noon, Qian Chengxue stopped and looked into the distance. Still can't see the end of the forest sea, there should be a long way to go.
So she suggested.
"Let's take a break here and drink some water."
Qian Chengxue handed a bottle of mineral water to Su Mo.
"Thank you."
Su Mo took the mineral water, found a fallen dead tree, swept away the snow on it, and sat down. Then he unscrewed the bottle cap and took a sip of water.
But soon he was stunned. The water was actually warm. He couldn't help but glance at Qian Chengxue secretly.
At this time, there were constant roars and explosions from the sky in the distance. Just by listening to the sound, I could tell that the fighting in the City of Dragon Prayer was extremely intense.
Qian Chengxue naturally walked to Su Mo and sat down, drinking water and speaking.
"Actually, it won't make much difference whether we go now or not. By the way, Su Mo, why didn't you think of giving up this time?"
"Unless I really lose, I generally don't like to give up"
Su Mo was in a very good mood and chatted with Qian Chengxue. However, mid-sentence, Su Mo's words suddenly stopped, and the smile on his face gradually faded.
Qian Chengxue asked doubtfully.
"What's wrong?"
"Something's not right. Look carefully at the snow. Are those almost invisible light green poisonous fogs coming out of the snow?"
"Let me see, it seems so."
Qian Chengxue immediately lay down, and if he looked carefully, he could see a faint green mist seeping out of the snow.
Su Mo immediately started digging into the snow. Soon, an inconspicuous pipe mouth was exposed in the thick snow.
Qian Chengxue squatted down, pushed aside the snow, and looked at the exposed mouth of the pipe. If you look carefully, you can see a trace of light green poisonous mist floating out of it, and then he said: "This should be the culprit of our alienation. The virus mist is emitted from here."
"It's hidden enough."
Su Mo looked at the mouth of the pipe and replied.
"It's indeed hidden enough, and it ensnared all of us in one fell swoop. I'm also very curious about what's hidden in this Dragon Praying City. Forget it, we can't even protect ourselves now."
Qian Chengxue said helplessly.
"It's not completely hopeless."
Su Mo suddenly smiled.
Qian Chengxue was slightly startled and looked at Su Mo. Looking at his confident face, it didn't look like he was joking, so he asked curiously: "What can I do?"
"Open the pipe. There must be a main pipe underneath. If the main pipe is wide enough, we can drill into the Dragon-Qing City in the opposite direction along the pipe."
Su Mo came up with an idea that stunned Qian Chengxue. (End of chapter)
