Life Going Wild With Plug-ins

All my life, I have been trying to send him on the opposite path from mine.

Why regret it?

01]

Twenty years ago, there was no vertical and horizontal in the world, and there was no Zhongli Garden.

There are seven sects and twelve sects from all over the world, all obeying the order of the Wushui Hall by the Wushui River.

The ten halls of Yan Luo under the command of the Hall of Vain Life each have their own strengths. They are skilled in armor, voodoo, poison and tricks.Under the seat of the head of the Hall of Vain Life, all six rode black-armored iron cavalry in and out.

The Hall of Vain Life is fierce and extreme, and has offended the public for a long time. In order to consolidate the foundation, the head of each faction is required to send important people of the faction as hostages to the Hall of Vain Life.

Although Zhongliyuan is an important road in the Central Plains, it is a small family after all, and it was missed in the past few years.When the order to ask for protons fell on Zhong Liqian, the owner of Zhongliyuan, the second son Zhong Zixi was squatting by the river watching his brother teach him how to fish.This year, the eldest son Zixu was nine years old, and the second son Zixi was seven years old.

Elder brother Zi Xuyu hadn't touched it yet, so at least he carried a bagful of dried shrimps, and was carried ashore by the guards from the river, and pushed all the way to the Patriarch.Zixi trotted behind him, and when he reached the entrance of the hall, he heard his father saying to his elder brother, "Clean up, you have to go on a long trip tomorrow."

Zixi looked around and saw his mother secretly wiping tears in a corner.

Zixu came out from the hall and stuffed the shrimp into his brother's arms: "Xiaoxi, help me raise it, it should grow up when I come back, let's eat together when the time comes."

Zixi returned to his father with the shrimp in his mouth and asked, "Where is brother going?"

Father shook his head: "It's his responsibility to go where he should go."

Zixi asked, "Can I go together?"

The mother said with tears: "What nonsense! You are all gone, how can mother live?"

My mother is a gentle and tough person, and I have never seen her cry in public.Seeing his mother's gloomy expression, Zixi knew that there was something wrong inside, but after repeated questioning to no avail, he had to return angrily.

Tossing and turning in the middle of the night, unable to sleep peacefully, he tiptoed over his sleeping elder brother and landed on the ground, walking barefoot to the front of his parents' door, where there were a lot of discussions and arguments.

"Xu'er is the eldest son, so he must be the next Patriarch of Zhongliyuan. If he doesn't go, who will he go?"

"I heard from Sister Lu from Changluozhai that the Hall of Vainly tortured the hostages in every possible way. All the thirty hostages sent last year were tortured to death. Is it true?"

"Total death is an exaggeration, but it is true that at least half of them have never been heard from again. The eldest son of Jin Guan Ting Guan Jie was sent in three years ago and disappeared without a trace, and none of the people who came to ask the door came back... This matter is unavoidable. I can see Xu'er's good fortune."

"I also heard that the hostages will be taken to test medicine to refine Gu, Xu'er is only nine years old... how can I bear it... woo..."

"I can't bear it either, so what can I do. Alas... I can only blame Zhongliyuan for being weak and being bullied."

Zixi couldn't understand most of it, but he knew clearly that his brother would die if he went.

He covered his mouth and ran back to his room in a panic. His brother was still peacefully immersed in his dreams. He squatted beside the bed and watched for a while, tears streaming down his face.After all, he was a child of seven years old, and he had no choice but to cry when something happened.

Zixu was woken up by his younger brother. When he saw it, he was taken aback. He hurriedly hugged him back into the quilt and comforted him, "Why are you crying? Are you having a nightmare? Don't be afraid, don't be afraid, brother is here. Wow, your feet are so cold, cover them for you." Cover it..." Without saying a few words in the sleepy eyes, he fell asleep again.

After Zixi finished crying, he calmed down and shook his elder brother to clarify the pros and cons.Nine-year-old Zhong Ionxu was at a loss and did not understand the seriousness of the situation.

Zixi thought for a while, then dragged his brother out and stuffed him under the bed to hide: "I won't come to you tomorrow, and don't come out if anyone calls."

Zixu asked in confusion, "Hey? What is this for?"

Zixi urged again and again: "Brother, don't worry about it, anyway, don't come out. I won't let you have an accident."

He went out the door, went to the servant's bunk room next door, picked out a familiar boy, and called out.This boy is about the same age as his brothers, and his body shape is about the same. I got him a set of my brother's clothes, put them in the carriage, covered him with a quilt, and pretended to sleep, and lied to the boy that it was hide-and-seek. There are heavy rewards.

The servant scratched his head embarrassingly: "I like to play with the two young masters, and I don't want any rewards."

Zixi felt guilty, nodded cautiously and said, "Thank you, I will always remember."

Zixi went back to the room worryingly, opened the door and saw that his elder brother Zixu had already climbed back into bed and was sound asleep, he was terrified immediately.When he stuffed the person back under the bed again, Zixu was still yelling: "No, the floor is so cold, I want to go back to bed and sleep!"

Zixi had no choice but to tie hemp rope into his hands and feet, stuff them with cotton cloth, and fix them firmly under the bed frame.

Zhong Zixi was sleepless all night, sitting on the edge of the bed until dawn, and was the first to rush to the carriage.

The people who saw him off were busy one after another, but he dismissed them with a few words. When his parents came to see him, he said, "My brother said he was sleepy, and he had already gotten into the carriage and fell asleep. Don't disturb him."

The mother lifted the curtain of the car and looked at it, then nodded with tears in her eyes: "Sleep well, mother won't disturb you." She couldn't bear to look any longer, and ran back to the backyard.

Everyone watched the chariots and horses go away and dispersed.

After finishing the play with fear, Zixi went back to his room, untied his brother and dragged him out from under the bed, hugging him and weeping silently.

It was inevitable that Zixu would be angry after being tied up all night, but his heart softened after seeing him cry sadly.

Zixi sobbed and said, "I'm so scared, brother, my parents are going to give you away, let's run away."

Zixu patted him on the back lightly: "What are you talking about, it's fine."

Zixi knew that he didn't understand, so he could only plead desperately: "I will never hurt you, you trust me, brother."

The strangle marks on Zixu's wrists and ankles bound by ropes were still aching, but he still nodded and said, "Well, I have always believed in you."

Zixi persuaded him for a whole day, but his elder brother still didn't understand and couldn't think about it, so he planned to coax and deceive him away in the dark.As soon as the sun set, Zixi dragged his brother against the wall and slipped out of the courtyard. When he walked to the gate, he couldn't help but catch his breath.

There are visitors from Zhongli Court.

Ten halls of white bones, six iron cavalry.

The pitch-black war horse settled motionless in the night, its red pupils were dangerous and strange.Sitting cross-legged on the hood of the car was a young man in a crimson blood dress, looking down at everyone with cold eyes.Father Zhong Liqian and other relatives and attendants knelt on the ground trembling, there was no sound in the world, lifeless, but his heart was beating like a drum.

"It's easy for me to find it in a poor country. You dare to play small tricks. It's surprising." The blood-clothed youth weighed the black cloth package in his hand, turned a few angles, and looked cold. He didn't see the joy in his words, but leaked into it. With a chill, "This is a meeting gift, keep it well."

He threw it casually, and threw it at Zhong Liqian.Zhong Liqian didn't dare to pick it up, so he slid past his ear and rolled to the side of the threshold, not far from the two brothers.

Zixu who didn't know the situation bent down and picked up the package. It was very round, not hard, but soft. Something was sticky and damp.

Zhong Ionxuan opened the package.

——The inside is still warm, the mother's head.

Zixu let out a scream and instinctively dropped his hands to dodge. Seeing that his mother was about to fall to the ground, Zixi quickly caught the package with his eyes and quickly covered his pair of almond eyes that were dying.Holding the bloody package in horror, he froze on the spot, at a loss for what to do.

Everyone who looked back took a breath, and Zhong Liqian's eyes were shattered. He rushed over and grabbed the eldest son's hand, and said in disbelief: "Xu'er?! Didn't you send you to the Hall of Vain Life? Still here?!"

The blood-clothed youth raised his eyes slightly, and sneered when he heard this.

The eldest son Zixu suffered a sudden change and was speechless, the second son Zixi hurriedly said: "I hid my elder brother, I don't care about my elder brother!"

Zhong Liqian furiously slapped him across the face like thunder: "Bastard! You're going to kill us all!!"

Zixu asked in a daze: "Mother died? Why did she die? Brother, what did you do?"

Zixi quickly shook his head and said, "It's not me! I didn't do it on purpose..."

"Still saying it's not you! What kind of cleverness are you self-righteously playing?! Damnation!" Zhong Liqian slapped him hard again.

Zixi was stunned on the ground, and asked after a while: "It was someone else who wanted my brother to die, and someone else who killed my mother. Why do you have to blame me? Am I wrong? Brother... really I did something wrong?"

His doubts were drowned out by the begging and begging for mercy of the people around him panicking and howling, and no one else heard him.

"We will send the eldest son to the Hall of Vain Life right now, without any second thoughts, I beg you to show your noble hand..." Hearing this sentence amidst the begging for mercy, Zi Xi immediately regained consciousness.

"Don't! Don't!" Zixi blocked his brother behind him and shouted, "I'll just be a hostage!"

The blood-clothed young man looked at him coolly, and said sarcastically, "The hostage I want in the Palace of Vain Life is the candidate for the next Patriarch of each faction. What kind of thing are you?"

Zixi was silent for a moment.He is the second son, as usual, he is not qualified to inherit the family business, which cannot be changed.

He looked back at his brother in a daze for a while, then suddenly gritted his teeth and pushed Zixu to the ground, picked up the biggest heavy stone he could lift by the side, and slammed it hard on his brother's feet.

Zixi straightened up amidst his brother's screams, threw a stone, and said firmly: "His legs are already disabled, I, Zhong Liyuan, will not let a crippled cripple be the head of the house, only me." —— Future Patriarch, today's hostage can only be me."

The blood-clothed young man laughed happily: "Yes, yes! Boy, I am so sorry that you were born into the wrong mother's womb. If you were born in the Palace of Vain Life, I would give you hell to play with."

Zixi shook his head and smiled bitterly: "Let's go."

I only thought in my heart: If I was born in someone else's family, how would I meet my elder brother?

Zixi turned around to say goodbye to his elder brother, and wanted to hug him for the last time.Seeing him, Zixu turned back and turned back, dragging his broken leg back in fear, trying to avoid him.

"I will never hurt you, brother, you have to trust me." Zixi pressed his shoulders and dragged him back, and kissed him on the cheek, "You have to wait for me to come back."

His answer was silence.
