Pollution throughout the territory
Chapter 531 Ancient Dream: Mother’s Promise
Now we just have to wait for the gang members of Anna's husband to come back and see what the outcome will be.
Hopefully they can hold out against the Voodoo Gang for a while.
Xia Ren walked to the kitchen, made a simple meal, brought it to the living room, and asked his daughter Theresa to come over and have some too.
Theresa was in a daze, her eyes were swollen from crying, and she refused to eat anything.
Xia Ren sighed and said, "Eat something, you must be hungry."
Theresa kept shaking her head, crying: "Dad won't come back, right?"
Xia Ren looked down at the center of the living room. She saw her husband's body still lying there. The blood on his chest had dried up, and his clothes were covered in blood and dirt. His eyes were wide open and he couldn't rest in peace.
Such a young child must feel uncomfortable seeing his father die in such pain.
"Dad is so miserable, dad——"
Teresa finally stopped crying, and now she was on the verge of crying again.
Xia Ren quickly walked over, pulled a piece of clothing over and covered her husband's head.
"It's not miserable now, let's go, let's eat something first."
Theresa opened her eyes and looked down, and sure enough she couldn't see her father.
She sobbed twice, looked up at her mother, and nodded: "Okay."
"So good."
Xia Ren showed a satisfied smile, took his daughter to sit at the dining table, and had a hearty breakfast together.
Anna is a tailor and owns a tailor shop on the street. Her husband is a gang member, so although her life is not rich, she still has enough to eat and drink.
She fried two steaks, stir-fried some hot vegetables, cut some fruits to mix with salad, and stewed a pot of broth, as if it was a treat only for the holidays.
Because Anna can cook herself, and Xia Ren is also good at cooking, the food tastes very good.
The mother and daughter feasted at the dining table, while the man lay on the cold floor, covered with only one piece of clothing. If he were to survive at this time, I don't know what he would feel like in his heart.
Probably because of breakfast, Theresa's energy recovered a little, but she was still very sad.
Children's emotions are very simple. When they are sad, they concentrate on being sad, but as an adult, Xia Ren has to consider more things.
She looked out the door with worried eyes.
It was already bright outside, but those people had not returned yet.
The streets outside were in chaos. As a woman, she did not dare to run out easily to check the situation. If the Voodoo Gang had already won and she was discovered by them, disaster would be imminent.
Xia Ren hesitated for a moment and decided to wait.
She moved a chair and sat at the door, looking at the scene outside, making sure that if anyone approached, she would notice it immediately.
Nowadays, gangs are rampant in the city. There is no family or power background. A lonely woman can't walk two streets away, and she will be kidnapped or dragged into a dark alley to be raped. The police will only protect the wealthy areas, and only there are still There is order, but everywhere else is like hell.
Xia Ren compared Anna's and his own memories and analyzed the current situation of Myrican Country.
Over the years, despite the fact that the Myrken Nation has built a border wall and strictly controlled population entry and exit, a large number of citizens have still fled and joined the Supreme Alliance government.
Those who are able have escaped long ago, and those who are left here are ordinary people who have no choice but to do anything.
And because Myrken is still an independent country, the laws of the Supreme Alliance Government do not apply here, so a large number of criminals from the outside have poured in, exacerbating the chaos in the country.
Today's Myrican Country has long been a paradise for crime, a corrupt place that nourishes evil forces and evil plutocrats.
Of course, the monarch and the elders are aware of this situation, but they have long been coerced by large companies and have become trapped in a cocoon. They have lost control of the country, so even if they want to control it, they do not have the ability.
What's more, the whole country has lost trust in the government. They hope that the Myrican Kingdom will be disbanded as soon as possible so that the Supreme Alliance Government can quickly accept this place.
Although in 588, seven years later, the country of Myrican finally came to an end. The monarch announced that he would abandon his country and merged into the Supreme Alliance government. The land of Myrican was later renamed Shengtian Dadu.
However, the chaos in this area has never stopped, and this historical issue has never been completely resolved. Until more than five hundred years later, Shengtian Dadu was also a tourist forbidden area for the people of Blue Star and one of the areas with the highest crime rate.
Why is it at this time and at this place?
Xia Ren's eyes flashed with worry.
In the first two ancient dreams, he was mainly worried about the unspeakable monsters. In this ancient dream, humans are the biggest enemy.
He would not complain if he met the Old One and was killed instantly, but if he was killed by humans before meeting the Old God, it would be really unacceptable, because it would mean that he wasted a precious ancient dream fragment. But got nothing.
Just as he was thinking about it, his daughter Theresa came over, raised her head, her eyes were red and swollen: "Mom..."
Xia Ren's heart softened, he picked her up and put her on his lap.
I don't know whether it was because of the influence of this body or because the little girl was just too cute. She hugged the other person tightly and looked into the distance.
The road ahead is unknown, and there are potential dangers everywhere. Only they can rely on each other.
"Mother……"
Theresa lay on her chest, breathing in the scent of her body.
"What's wrong?"
"Mom, will you leave me too, just like... just like dad."
Xia Ren looked at her heart-wrenching eyes and said comfortingly: "No, mom will never leave you. Mom will also watch you grow up and put on a beautiful wedding dress."
After speaking, he suddenly paused.
Xia Ren thought of his parents.
He was once a child, sitting on his mother's lap, worried about the future.
In my vague memory, when I asked my mother a similar question, she seemed to have hesitated briefly before giving an answer.
Xia Ren now knows the reason for his mother's hesitation. When he was young, his parents were deeply frightened, but at the same time, their love for him was genuine. They struggled in fear and pain, and finally failed and chose to commit suicide.
Mother didn't know that her promise to herself could be fulfilled, so she paused for a moment.
Can his promise to Theresa be fulfilled?
Isn't it too hasty?
What if you can't do it yourself?
Thinking of this, Xia Ren suddenly became extremely sad.
The endings of characters in ancient dreams often do not end well, that is to say, Anna will die next.
He knew this, but he couldn't do anything about it.
"Theresa."
Xia Ren looked at her clear eyes and felt a little unbearable: "Do you like Uncle Pickman?"
In fact, Anna's family has not seen Pickman for several years. He is a talented painter who lives in a wealthy area and rarely comes back to visit.
Anna has only met this brother-in-law a few times since she was married.
Theresa was very smart and immediately understood the intention of her mother's question. Her eyes were immediately covered with mist, and she hugged her waist tightly and said, "No, I don't want to go to uncle's place. To be with mom.”
"Mom, are you going somewhere far away too?"
Xia Ren's heart trembled, and he didn't dare to look into his daughter's eyes.
She stroked Theresa's hair tenderly, just like her mother.
"No, mom is not going anywhere. She will always be with Theresa."
Seeing his daughter sleeping in his arms as if relieved, Xia Ren looked outside, feeling a little anxious.
The people in the gang haven't come back yet.
Two hours later, the sun had risen above the head, and Xia Ren still had not received any news.
He knew that he couldn't wait any longer. His husband's small gang was probably wiped out by now, those familiar figures might be dead on the streets now, and people from the Voodoo Gang might come to seek revenge at any time.
Their mother and daughter have no one to rely on, and they cannot place their daughter anywhere else.
"Theresa, you stay at home, mom has to go out to do something, okay?"
Her daughter had just woken up, so naturally she didn't want her to leave, but she couldn't be soft-hearted at this time.
Xia Ren got dressed, found a cloak and put it on. After thinking about it, he opened the drawer in the bedroom, took out a revolver, loaded the bullet, put it in his arms, and went downstairs.
Theresa stood at the top of the stairs with expectant eyes, hoping that she would not leave.
Xia Ren walked over and kissed her face: "Theresa, you must wait for me to come back. If you see a stranger walking towards home, hide immediately, okay?"
Theresa pursed her lips, trying not to cry, and nodded heavily.
Xia Ren touched the gun in his arms, took a deep breath, and walked out of the house.
