Age of Heroes, ten consecutive guarantees

Tao Rusu's parents are an elderly couple in their fifties. When he was young, his wife accidentally lost her fertility due to a car accident. The old couple were extremely loving, so they had no children.

Even if you want to find someone to adopt you, it is still difficult. I have been to orphanages many times since you were 30 years old. You want to adopt, but you are told that you are not old enough and do not meet the adoption conditions. You need to wait.

When they reached the age of forty, their thoughts calmed down and the two of them were busy with work.

When they were over fifty, one spring day, with drizzle in the sky, they saw an abandoned baby under a peach tree.

There was a swaddling clothes placed under the tree, and inside the swaddling clothes was a beautiful girl.

In the words of the adoptive parents - they felt it was God's will.

Daxia society does not allow abandonment of children. Education is the foundation of a country. Control over children is extremely strict. Family education is also an important part. Once irresponsible parents are found, they will be forcibly deprived of custody rights and sent to prison after two warnings. Go to a social welfare institution and leave it to professionals to take care of your child.

Any discovery of an abandoned baby anywhere will attract the attention of the local mayor, public opinion fermentation, and media supervision. The local official will open a reporting hotline. Once the discovery is confirmed, the reporter can receive a high reward.

Coupled with the implementation of the strict household registration and population system, once ordinary people take any pregnancy test, they will inevitably leave blood samples, genes and other data records in public institutions, which makes abandonment impossible.

When the adoptive parents found the child, their first reaction was to notify Chang Yesi. However, after testing, they could not find a matching blood sample record, and even if they were notified to the province, they could not find it.

After a month of waiting, no specific clues were found, and all-purpose public reports also failed. The only relevant clue was that an eyewitness had seen a young woman in her twenties.

The child had indeed become an abandoned baby.

The old couple decided to adopt the baby girl against all odds. They believed that this was God's will.

The girl they picked up on the day they just celebrated their fiftieth birthday was the child sent to them by God.

The two old men were both named Tao. They met her under the peach tree in the misty spring rain, so they named her Tao Rusu.

Tao Rusu's birth was not blessed.

She knew this as early as when she was five years old, when she rummaged through her swaddled clothes in a compartment on the roof of the building.

The adoptive parents did not hide it from her and told her that she was an adopted girl.

But after learning about it, Tao Rusu acted very naturally. She was a precocious child and could remember things since she was five years old. Ordinary five-year-old children were still confused at this time and half understood many things, but she had already begun to I read and studied.

Because of the careful care and love of her adoptive parents, she was able to grow up in a healthy family environment. The two elderly people were well-off and well-educated. They were both from Nanling since she was a child. She also received a good family education. She didn't think there was anything wrong with two old people who were old enough to be grandparents called them parents.

Blood relationship is actually not important in her family.

The three of them are not related by blood, but it does not prevent them from becoming each other's closest relatives.

It’s just that changes will come.

When she was thirteen years old, she lost all her relatives.

Two assailants kidnapped her family and took her to a place to hide.

Their request was incomprehensible to Tao Rusu, who was still a junior high school student at the time.

They asked Tao Rusu to tell him where his father was.

She had no idea what the other person was talking about. Wasn't her father tied up right next to her?

Her silence and astonishment were taken as resistance by the other party.

So they cut off one of the foster father's fingers.

Blood spattered, and Tao Rusu shouted in fear; "I really don't know what you are talking about, please!"

The two thugs with ferocious expressions roared regardless, "Tell him where he is!"

"I'm just an abandoned baby. I don't know who the father you are talking about is!"

"Be tough!"

Click!

Another finger was broken.

During this torture that lasted for more than an hour, Tao Rusu watched her adoptive parents being tortured into inhuman forms by the two thugs. At the same time, she also learned about her own life experience for the first time...she was the daughter of the Overlord.

As for the two thugs in front of them, they both had their families destroyed by the Tyrant, so they did not hesitate to choose the most extreme means to seek revenge. After they found out whose bloodline Tao Rusu was, they took the initiative to come to his door.

Kidnapping, extorting confessions, killing...maybe he has done it more than once.

The two thugs who turned into evil spirits for revenge confirmed after questioning that Tao Rusu really knew nothing.

But that doesn't make them happy, because it means they're running out of money.

Her anger needed someone to vent her anger on, so the knife was held to her neck.

Torturing and killing the Overlord's blood relatives would give the two men an outlet for their madness and rage.

But Tao Rusu no longer had the strength to resist. She sat on the chair, almost mentally broken.

The tortured adoptive mother, who had no human form, had a heart attack. The adoptive father still breathed his last and fell in a pool of blood. He looked at his daughter with tired and desperate eyes, trying to squeeze out a trace of relief.

He may be trying to say - we don't blame you.

But without a tongue, he couldn't open his mouth at all, and could only spit out a large mouthful of blood. In the end, he died with his eyes closed.

This scene made the thirteen-year-old girl feel the pain for the first time in her life.

She gave up her resistance and let the knife be handed to her neck, like a lamb waiting to be slaughtered.

Then she was saved.

The person who rescued her was a woman with waist-length hair.

She could tell who the other person was at a glance because he looked so similar to her.

That was the first and last time Tao Rusu saw her biological mother.

She neatly killed two thugs who had fallen into evil ways for revenge.

Although Tao Rusu didn't know the strength of the realm, he could tell at a glance that the opponent's strength was far superior to these two.

How did she find her?

Tao Rusu was not very grateful, but instead thought...why did it come so timely?

It happened that he arrived just when he was about to die.

"You were already here, right?"

Tao Rusu asked the woman standing in the middle of the pool of blood very calmly and lowly.

The woman didn't answer.

"You've obviously arrived, but you're still refusing to save people just to see if they can find out anything! Isn't that right!"

"answer me!"

She almost screamed like she was shouting.

Tao Rusu struggled hard, and the metal edges cut her skin and dislocated or broke her arms.

The woman had a slight reaction. She turned her cheek sideways, her eyes cold and empty, like the dry grass, with deathly silence the only color.

"So what?"

The woman turned and left, ignoring her biological daughter who was tied to a chair and struggling.

Tao Rusu sat on the chair, almost losing his soul.

Even when she was abandoned, she stayed quietly under the peach tree, staring at the strange world with her big eyes, expecting it to be beautiful and bright.

she wailed.

…

"That's when I realized two things."

"The first thing is that my identity will inevitably bring disaster."

"The Tyrant's bloodline is always a problem."

"I can't guarantee that will be the last time."

"In order to protect myself, I must make myself strong as soon as possible; my adoptive parents were killed last time, who will they be next time?"

Under the moonlight, Tao Rusu talked about this bloody past event. The profound memories were read from the depths of his soul, and the scars left still retained the pain of the past.

In the past, she was afraid of pain and blood. When she closed her eyes, she would always stare at her adoptive parents, their painful wails, and the feeling of powerlessness that penetrated deep into her bones.

She gently stroked her wrist, which had long since lost its scar, and continued.

"The second thing."

"The woman who left, and these two thugs... they are essentially the same."

"They are all crazy souls seeking revenge."

"Ao Muxue will also do whatever it takes to find the Overlord."

"At that time, she didn't come to save me at all, otherwise she wouldn't sit back and watch my adoptive parents die."

"She doesn't care what I think, but she needs me to pass on this hatred."

"She wants me to remember that the initiator of my misery is the tyrant."

"For this reason, it doesn't matter even if she is on my final revenge list."

Tao Rusu sighed softly and said bitterly: "She succeeded."

"She planted a seed of hatred in me, and now it has taken root in my soul and in my scars."

"From now on, I will have to act to quell this hatred. If I cannot complete this revenge, I will never be able to sleep peacefully in my life. As long as I close my eyes and feel comfortable, I will think of the distracted pupils of my loved ones. And their cries.”

"I brought the disaster, so I don't deserve happiness and peace."

Standing alone in the courtyard, she was so close yet so far away.

It seemed so far away that it was beyond reach, separated by a wall of hatred.

Hatred trapped her there, forcing her to go to the desperate situation of loneliness alone, completing a crazy tour that climaxed with revenge and ended with emptiness.

Faced with such a distance, even Bai Yu felt unable to cross it.

The heavy past has far exceeded the level that Bai Yu can laugh it off, and he can feel the bone-chilling coldness in just a few words.

The barrier built by the wall of her heart is her despair.

Bai Yu couldn't get close to her, so he could only reply dryly: "I've finished listening to your story."

"Thank you, you are a suitable listener." Tao Rusu lowered her arm, reached around her back with her right hand, grabbed her left wrist, and smiled softly.

"Why do you want to tell me?" Bai Yu looked directly at Tao Rusu.

"I also have a desire to talk. Isn't there a saying? The more secrets a person holds, the more he wants to tell them."

"This matter is not a secret, but a scar." Bai Yu intended to move forward: "Talking about the past and sharing scars means..."

"Shhh."

Tao Rusu stretched out her finger and put it on his lips. The distance was instantly close. She said softly: "Don't say any more."

"I'm telling you this just to make you understand."

"Everyone has his own destiny."

"And I am concerned about my destiny..."

"I have realized it a long time ago."

No matter what the outcome ahead, she was mentally prepared.

She crossed the boy's side and whispered: "Bai Yu, you have to remember."

"Even if I go to the Land of Dragons."

"You are doing it for Su Ruoli."

"It's for yourself."

"Not for me."

"Okay?"
