I Was Once a Legend

Dong Zheng's mother died at the moment he was about to be born.

The sudden amniotic fluid embolism during childbirth claimed her life within five minutes. No matter how clever the doctor was, he could not fight back in front of the **** of death. He could only take out the child in her stomach by cesarean section, and took off the oxygen mask and pulmonary artery. The floating catheter and dialyzer announced to Dong Yi outside the delivery room that the rescue was invalid.

Amniotic fluid embolism. During delivery, amniotic fluid suddenly enters the maternal blood circulation, leading to acute pulmonary embolism, anaphylactic shock, renal failure or sudden death, the most dangerous birth complications.

Dong Zheng killed her.

For a long time, Dong Yi couldn't help thinking this every time he saw the child he was born shortly before.

Although he understood that he should not be angry with a baby who knew nothing, this thought was like a cobweb that could not be earned, and he was entangled with him all the time.

The more struggling the tighter.

Dong Yi hid all the photos of his deceased wife, and it seemed that he couldn’t see the face, so that his grief would slowly fade away. So until Dong Zheng was seven years old, Dong Yi married his secretary Su Daijun as Dong Zheng’s stepmother and cleaned up the house. At that time, Dong Zhengcai turned out old photos in the storage room, and for the first time knew his mother's appearance.

He is very much like his mother.

It was the woman in front of him who appeared in his dream.

Liu Yueqian was only twenty-three years old when she died, in the most beautiful years. She was petite, with extra bright eyes, and her wide jade bracelet lined her thin wrists.

She was wearing a camouflage combat uniform, holding Emei thorns in both hands, standing in the drizzle, facing Dong Zheng with a firm eyesight and passing her sight through Dong Zheng, as if she could not see him.

Dong Zheng's hands trembling uncontrollably began to tremble, he clenched his fists tightly, exhausted all his senses to resist the urge to reach out and touch, and stared deeply at this familiar and strange face .

Never thought of such a day alone.

He opened his mouth and faced her for the first time, shouting that he had called Su Daijun for years:

"……mom?"

But Liu Yueqian could not hear.

"Have you thought about it?" The girl's voice gently passed into her ears.

Dong Zheng suddenly turned around, only to notice that behind him, in front of his mother, stood a girl, in her twenties, with short hair, a Republican costume, and a white oil-paper umbrella.

Chang Hui?

Dong Zheng immediately remembered what Cui Zuojing had told him, and was almost certain that the girl had left something in his body, rumored to follow the devil of desire.

Liu Yueqian's lips curled into a firm arc: "Well, I think about it."

"Okay." Chang Hui smiled softly and satisfactorily. She turned the handle of the umbrella, and the rain scattered along the umbrella bone in all directions. "Then you won't be a prisoner after you die, and the soul will be used directly by me. Do you agree?"

Dong Zheng was shocked.

-No!

Dong Zheng watched Liu Yueqian nodded without hesitation and said, "I agree."

"Speak your wishes."

"I hope that if one day my child enters here because of an accident, he can have a life-saving hole card." Liu Yueqian took out a black card and painted complicated golden lines around and on the back of the card.

Dong Zheng froze.

This is the black gold prisoner card he summoned Cui Zuojing.

"Please help me to hand this over to him."

He stretched out his hand blankly, touching the familiar card. After his summoning was completed, the blank card appeared with the pattern representing Cui Zuojing's prisoner name "Arabidopsis thaliana" and the wheel of destiny, which has now been merged into his left hand due to blood contract.

Dong Zheng's hand passed through the card and also through Liu Yueqian's fingertips. Chang Hui took the prisoner card and glanced down, said: "This is a rare top prisoner card. You are about to reach the last step of the pilgrimage. Do you not keep it for yourself?"

Liu Yueqian smiled and shook his head, said softly: "I know my level, rather than waste such a good resource, it is better to leave it."

She doesn't even know what her child looks like and what her name is even if her child is male or female.

But he still left the most precious hope to him.

"Okay, then the deal has been concluded." Chang Hui reached out his hand, and his index finger touched Liu Yueqian's eyebrow lightly. "I will give the card to your child in my way."

The glowing black red light submerged into the skin, Liu Yueqian frowned, and forced to endure discomfort. Dong Zheng held her hand and watched as the light disappeared, but couldn't help it.

At the same time, a fingerprint of blood red appeared on the inside of Changhui Paper Umbrella, and together with other dense blood marks, it merged into a strange pattern with a fishy smell.

"The next time I meet, it's time for me to take away your soul."

The rain stopped.

All the pictures disappeared in an instant, including the figure that Dong Zheng tried his best to keep. He struggled to reach out, but he only caught the broken streamer.

At this moment, all the deliberately sealed memories finally emerged slowly, that was what happened when he first entered the pure white realm.

The girl holding the umbrella stood outside the haunted house and smiled at him who had just received the novice box reward: "There is an old lady who asks me to hand over something to you, why not... just change the card in your hand?"

And he was completely in a trance, extending his hand uncontrollably.

A loud noise exploded in his ear, Dong Zheng suddenly opened his eyes.

Rainy night's thunder seemed to sound above his head, Dong Zheng sighed with fear, and stared straight at the ceiling with the lightning from across the window from time to time.

That's... his mother.

After dying of dystocia, she entered the pure white realm and became a powerful pilgrim all the way, even to the final level.

But on the eve of being able to fulfill her desire to leave here, she made a deal with Chang Hui, leaving him the crucial hole.

Dong Zheng couldn't tell the emotion of the intense sourness in his heart. At the age of 26, he finally saw his mother for the first time, although he didn't get her in just a few minutes. The call of a, or a gentle look.

He knew that she loved him very much, and he did not forget to protect him in a precautionary manner at the juncture of life and death, but...but the two would never meet again from now on.

Something stuck in his chest, making him almost breathless.

Cui Zuojing came out of the prisoner space after waking up and saw Dong Zheng sitting in bed in a daze. The man was facing the window, looking at the rain marks winding down on the glass, and his dark eyes suddenly flashed from time to time. Electric light.

He seemed to have collapsed a bit, and he didn't see how he would arm himself from head to toe to teeth with calmness and self-control.

Cui Zuojing: "?"

He frowned, still seeing Dong Zheng for the first time. He could even feel the unspeakable sadness deep in Dong Zheng's heart. He touched his shoulder and asked, "What's wrong?"

Dong Zheng turned his head to look at him, and his eyes didn't know what to do. Cui Zuojing couldn't help but think of the beast in the clown's circus, who was silently licking the wound in the cage.

Dong Zheng was only silent. Just when Cui Zuojing thought he would not answer, he whispered: "I... dreamed of something."

"Huh?" Cui Zuojing sat cross-legged beside him, and it was still dark outside. No one went to turn on the light. In the tranquil darkness, in addition to the sound of rain, he could vaguely hear the other person's breathing.

"The prisoner card that called you was given to me by Chang Hui."

"Chang Hui gave you?" Cui Zuojing was startled, "Why did she give you this?"

"My mother used to be a member of the pilgrim." Dong Zheng said that it was difficult. "At the last moment, she used her soul as a bargaining chip and asked Chang Hui. If I came here one day, let her use black gold. The prisoner card is given to me as a life-saving card."

Cui Zuojing froze.

He had long thought that Dong Zheng was able to get the black gold prisoner card to summon him out. Someone did it from him, but he never expected that... it would be like this.

Chang Hui noticed Dong Zheng from the beginning, so it is not strange to leave his energy on Dong Zheng.

For Chang Hui, Rao is not too much that Cui Zuojing knows, but he speculates that Chang Hui is not an aborigine of this world. Dong Zheng is twenty-six years old. His mother and Chang Hui had traded at least twenty years ago. Since then, has Chang Hui come to the pure white realm?

Cui Zuojing didn't know what to say for a while. He never comforted people. Although Dong Zheng's performance was not obvious, the depressed sadness in his heart had affected him.

But his feelings were still with the clown. He lost all empathy and could not feel the same.

Cui Zuojing even wanted to go back to prisoner space, avoiding this situation, and let Dong Zheng stay quietly and digest his emotions.

He didn't do it in the end.

After a while, Cui Zuojing asked softly, "Can you tell me about your mother?"

He didn't have much hope for Dong Zheng's answer. Dong Zheng was a person who paid great attention to privacy. In addition to playing blackjack before, he was willing to gamble and lose. He never said anything about family and even asked Cui Zuojing for the first time. When lying with Dong Linhai, he lied directly.

Perhaps it is the inner depression that urgently needs one person to share, maybe the blood contract makes the two people's emotions connected, or there may be other deep reasons that Cui Zuojing does not understand. Dong Zheng was silent for a while and took a deep breath. For the first time in history, he talked about his past: "My mother died because of my dystocia."

"Her amniotic fluid embolism was too sudden and fierce, and it was too late to save, so my father...how to say, it was a bit of a feeling of hiding from me deliberately, plus he was in the rising stage of his career at that time, almost all of me when I was a child People, or with a nanny."

"A little bit older, my father gradually came out of grief, he will take me to the company after picking me up from school, and let the secretary accompany me to write homework in his office. The secretary was not a long time after graduation The girl, in her twenties, has a good temper and is very patient. She will accompany me to play and give me a parent meeting."

When Cui Zuojing heard this, he was almost able to anticipate the future development.

"I like her very much, so when my father asked me if I wanted her to be my mother, I agreed.

"She married my father in less than a year and Linhai was born. They rightfully paid more attention to the newly born child. I was already eight years old at the time. Although it was uncomfortable, I knew a lot of things.

"She is kind to me and has been taking good care of me, but of course the child she loves and cares most is always her own. And my father, because I look more like my mother, I think of my dead wife every time I see it.

"He felt owed to me because he didn't care when he was a kid, so when he treated me, he was not as natural as Linhai.

"So I always feel that I am the extra person in the family."

The voice gradually fell, and the bedroom was quiet again, and neither of them spoke for a while.

Sure enough, there is a reason for Dong Zheng's character. Cui Zuojing always felt that he could not let go. Unlike Dong Linhai, who was innocent and lungless and wrote in his face innocently, Alan was very familiar, Lin Hangzhi's animal and decay With his possessive body, Dong Zheng has been disguising himself.

Undoubtedly, Dong Zheng has the ability to be a leader, but if he is not required to come forward and someone else can lead the team, even if that person is inferior to him, Dong Zheng will reduce his sense of presence and silently Stay aside.

When he was in Hameln, he chose to let the glasses man lead the action.

Dong Zheng is the captain of the party, but this responsibility is more like being thrown to him. Dong Linhai trusts and trusts him. Allen who joined later does not care about it. Lin Hangzhi as a recruited team member cannot be the core of leadership.

This is the choice after no choice.

It's like playing the way he should be in the eyes of others.

A calm, strong, well-organized, will arrange the next plan and coordinate the captains of all parties.

No one knows that he will be scared with sweat when he meets ghosts, and he will also want to worry about things later, just waiting for orders.

...

Well, except Cui Zuojing.

Cui Zuojing blinked and saw Dong Zheng still facing the window with silence, hesitated, put his face in front of him and looked carefully, hesitantly asked, "Are you crying?"

Seeing the moment was occupied by the teenager's face, Dong Zheng was a little surprised and subconsciously hid back: "No, why do you think so?"

Cui Zuojing saw that he didn't have any signs of redness in the corners of his eyes, and his voice was also normal. He returned to the original place and touched his nose. "I thought you would be sad."

Dong Zheng smiled silently and said, "I haven't been a kid anymore. Besides, everyone has his own difficulties and misfortunes. Why should he always complain about himself? I used to live well in the real world before. Yes. It was just a little bit uncomfortable to see her today..."

Is it really good?

Cui Zuojing somewhat doubted the authenticity of this sentence. He thought about it and snapped his fingers, saying, "Since you have told me such private things, so to be fair, I will also tell you a little about my things. how about it?"
