Chapter 1169 – Abducted Child

　　Wu Quan’s roar mixed with the sound of thunder outside the window startled old man Liu!

　　He quickly reached out and stroked Wu Quan’s back, softly relieved, “You child, why do you react so strongly at the mention of Shen kid …… Don’t think too much, that kid’s life is as hard as his bones, it’s not that easy to get into trouble.”

　　Wu Quan gritted his teeth, broke away from Old Man Liu’s palm, turned around and ran towards the rain.

　　”Xiao Quan!”

　　Old man Liu shouted, reaching out to grab his arm, but Wu Quan’s speed was simply too fast, and in the blink of an eye, he pushed through the iron gate in the rain and ran wildly towards the end of the alleyway.

　　”…… This child.” Old man Liu stood under the eaves and let out a long sigh.

　　In the alleyway.

　　Pouring rain poured down from the dark clouds, Wu Quan ran forward along the narrow alleyway, flying stepping over puddles.

　　He frowned tightly, his eyes filled with struggle and madness, and in a trance, Shen Qingzhu’s voice reappeared in his ears:

　　”Your name is Wu Quan? Don’t be afraid, those beasts were killed by me.”

　　”……”

　　”My name is Shen Qingzhu, from now on, I will be your brother.”

　　”……”

　　”Those people are just a little bit meaner looking and a little bit more ruthless, there’s nothing to be afraid of. …… As long as we are more ruthless than them and more desperate, they will be afraid of us.”

　　”……”

　　”The dream is to become an umbrella to protect me? You’re still too weak …… You grow up well, you’ll have the chance later.”

　　”……”

　　”Xiaoquan, I’m going out to be a soldier, in the future, you have to guard old man Liu and my siblings for me, don’t let them be bullied, understand?”

　　”……”

　　Running in the rain, Wu Quan, his eyes gradually lost, lost in thought, murmured, “It won’t be …… Brother Qingzhu, you won’t die …… We agreed to let me be your umbrella in the future, and if you die …… what will I do?”

　　Just at this moment, a figure came from the other side of the alleyway, walking towards here head on.

　　Da da da–!

　　Wu Quan’s figure flew past the figure, slightly stunned, stood still, and looked back.

　　Lin Qiye was holding a black umbrella and similarly turned his head to look at Wu Quan.

　　In the alleyway of the heavy rain, the two of them stared at each other across the misty vapor.

　　”Are you called …… Wu Quan?” Lin Qiye looked at this drenched teenager and spoke with some confusion, “What happened?”

　　Wu Quan’s eyes stared at Lin Qiye and subconsciously opened his mouth to ask something.

　　After a moment, he still closed his mouth and silently turned his head towards the rain, those pitch black eyes that fluctuated with emotions gradually returning to calm.

　　Seeing that Wu Quan ignored himself, Lin Qiye did not think much about it although his heart was in doubt, he just continued to walk towards the orphanage’s gate.

　　Only when his figure completely disappeared into the alleyway and walked to Wu Quan, who was at the entrance of an unoccupied street, did he slowly stop.

　　He turned back and glanced at the smoky alleyway.

　　”He, should know about Brother Qingzhu.”

　　”But, if something really happened to Brother Qingzhu …… just ask, he will definitely not say anything either.”

　　Wu Quan muttered, and a moment later, his pitch-black eyes narrowed slightly.

　　His palm was lightly raised, and a drop of rainwater flowed down his palm and onto his fingertips before dripping down into the puddle at his feet.

　　A wisp of ripples swept through the water, and in the blurred reflection, one black cross chair after another was outlined behind Wu Quan.

　　These black chairs, like the seats of an orchestra sitting in a ring in an ancient music hall, were carved with dark and mysterious patterns, and on top of more than twenty of them sat hideous monsters of different sizes and shapes.

　　There are black mountains of flesh that are tens of meters high, there are big men carrying swords with two wings on their backs and three paws on their feet, and there are gray plastic bags that look like clouds ……

　　They sat quietly in the shadows with their heads hung low, like works of art sealed in a collection, or like a dark orchestra that surrounded behind Wu Quan, always ready to play music.

　　In the rain, Wu Quan slowly raised his hands and waved a mysterious trajectory in the air.

　　The gray plastic bag, rapidly expanding, surrounded Wuquan, isolating his figure, along with his breath, without a trace.

　　The rest of the monsters on the black chairs were like puppets being manipulated, stiffly rising from their seats, their eyes staring straight at the end of the alleyway, their figures crashing through the rain curtain one after another, disappearing without a trace.

　　”He’s brother Qingzhu’s comrade-in-arms, he must also possess some sort of powerful ability, we can’t let our guard down.”

　　”Also, don’t hurt him, just read the memories ……”

　　Wu Quan’s voice was drowned in the roaring rain.

　　Cold Mountain Orphanage.

　　Lin Qiye pushed open the iron door and saw Old Man Liu standing under the eaves, sighing.

　　”Huh? It’s you?” Old man Liu suddenly froze when he saw Lin Qiye walk in, “Didn’t you …… leave?”

　　”Oh, I remembered that there was something I didn’t take, so I made a special trip back.” Lin Qiye apologized and smiled, he looked back at the door and asked suspiciously, “By the way, just now Wu Quan ran out …… what happened?”

　　Old man Liu’s expression changed, shook his head, and let out a long sigh:

　　”Nothing, that child just suffered a little stimulation …… His childhood experience is somewhat special, so his character is more extreme, and he is easy to get excited when he meets things, especially things related to Shen kid …… ”

　　”Character extreme?”

　　”Uh-huh.” Old man Liu nodded slightly, the color of memories appeared in his eyes.

　　”That child, was not sent over for foster care, nor was he abandoned …… He was abducted by traffickers and then rescued.”

　　”Abducted and sold child?” Lin Qiye’s brows frowned slightly, “In this era, there are still such things?”

　　”Plenty.” Old man Liu sighed, “When this child was four or five years old, he was abducted with ecstasy and later sold to a gang of begging gangs.

　　Those people break his hands, starve him for a few days, wait until the skinny only skin bones, and then let a crippled old man pushed him to the street begging, got all the money by the gang to share away, every day meal is a few pieces of rancid steamed bread, if the money is less, go back to also receive a beating ……

　　Almost every two or three months, the gang will have to change the city, to prevent being caught by the police, he was so tortured for almost four years, you can imagine those dirty means, the child almost all experienced once.

　　If it wasn’t for the fact that they happened to arrive in Linjiang that year, if it wasn’t for the fact that they happened to be bumped into by Shen kid, this child is afraid that he will never have a day to come out, even if he grows up, under the infection of that kind of environment, sooner or later, he will turn from the abused into the abuser ……”

　　”It was Shen Qingzhu who saved him?”

　　”Well, at that time Shen kid was only in his teens and was a fearless prick.

　　That day he saw Xiaoquan begging on the street, kept an eye out and secretly followed them back to a broken house on the mountain, and after discovering the truth, he took advantage of the night to let all the enslaved children go.

　　When he was later discovered on the way, he took a blunt knife and fought the outlaws to the death, stabbing four or five of them to death and nearly dying himself.

　　When he came down from the mountain that day covered in blood and carrying the unconscious Xiaoquan, my old bones were terrified.”
