The Only Cultivator In The World

Chapter 11 Things are different and people are different

In the evening, Tian Xiao came to an intersection with slow and heavy steps. Not far away is an endless mountain range. That was Wangxian Mountain, and it was from here that he entered this primitive mountain forest thirteen years ago.

The original barbecue restaurant here is no longer there and has been replaced by a residential building.

Tian Xiao looked disappointed. At this moment, he seemed to have returned to thirteen years ago. He had lost his yearning for life again and didn't know where to go.

At the intersection, a teenage girl carrying a pink schoolbag was preparing to cross the road. Suddenly, a piercing whistle sounded, waking Tian Xiao up from his confusion!

A white car lost control and hit the little girl! Seeing that there was only ten meters away, the car showed no signs of slowing down!

The little girl was so frightened that when the danger came, her body could not move, and she was so frightened that she froze in place!

Tian Xiao was also suddenly startled. He was more than ten meters away from the little girl, but he rushed towards the little girl without hesitation, as fast as thunder!

Tian Xiao successfully picked up the little girl before the car was about to hit her. He barely dodged the car and missed her!

"Wow!"

The little girl finally came to her senses. She was so frightened that she burst out crying. Tian Xiao comforted the little girl gently and looked at the car with a hint of fierceness in his eyes!

The car drove more than ten meters before it successfully stopped. Then the car opened the door and walked out of a woman in a white dress. She looked to be in her late thirties.

The woman got out of the car in a panic. She looked very frightened. As soon as she got off the car, she started shouting: "Are you okay? Are you okay? Are you injured anywhere?"

"It's okay. He's still alive. Fortunately, he's not dead!"

Even if the woman has a better attitude, Tian Xiao has no good impression of the woman. If it weren't for his physical fitness far exceeding that of ordinary people and not being very far away from the girl, the girl in his arms might have died!

And just now I had no choice but to show my abilities beyond ordinary people. Although there were few people in this place and I was not seen by anyone for the time being, there were surveillance everywhere. If someone checks the surveillance later and sees him saving people, and investigates, I'm afraid he will be in trouble for a while!

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry! I don't know what's going on. This car is self-driving. I just bought it not long ago, but there has never been an accident. Today is the first time it has malfunctioned. I don't know what's going on! "The woman explained hurriedly, running around in a panic. It was obvious that she was also very frightened.

"Don't be afraid, it's okay, it's okay." Tian Xiao ignored the woman's explanation, but gently and carefully comforted the little girl in his arms.

The little girl gradually stopped crying and said thank you to Tian Xiao very sensibly, which warmed Tian Xiao's heart and reduced his anger a lot.

"Do you want to go to the hospital? This is all my fault. I will go to the car company to seek justice! How come the car is made with decades of old brand and old technology, but something like this can happen!"

Seeing that the girl was okay, the woman felt relieved, and then she became very resentful towards the car company.

"Do you want to go to the hospital?"

Tian Xiao felt that the little girl should be fine, she was just a little frightened, but he still asked the little girl for her opinion very thoughtfully.

There were still tears hanging from the corners of the girl's eyes. She looked tearful and timid, which was really heartbreaking.

"I...I don't want to go to the hospital. I want to go home. If you don't go home, your parents will worry about you." The little girl's voice was small and she looked extremely weak. I don't know if it was just like this or she was frightened.

"Well, then there's no need to go to the hospital. Big brother is the doctor. You're fine. You were just scared. Just go home and have a good rest." Tian Xiao touched the girl's hair with a warm smile on his face. Smile and try to be as pleasant as possible. But the girl still shrank her head, not daring to look into Tian Xiao's eyes.

"Are you really okay? Why don't you leave me a phone number? You can call me if you feel sick later."

The woman was relatively sensible and did not try to shirk her responsibilities.

Tian Xiao shook his head and said, "No need, the child is indeed fine and in good health."

In the end, the woman still felt guilty and insisted on giving the girl 2,000 yuan as compensation for the shock. Tian Xiao didn't refuse. After all, the money was not for him, but for the little girl.

The little girl did not have a mobile phone, so the woman transferred the money to Tian Xiao. After the woman left, Tian Xiao followed the little girl to her home.

"What's your name?"

"My name is Sun Rongrong."

The girl said very few words along the way. When Tian Xiao asked her, she would answer. It was obvious that the girl was usually very shy.

"Rongrong, this name is so nice, prosperous, um, just like a beautiful flower."

Tian Xiao was worried about the impact on the girl if she was frightened, so he carefully made the little girl happy all the way. And the little girl gradually became less shy than she was at the beginning.

"Thanks……"

When Tian Xiao praised her name, the little girl's rosy face turned red again, and she lowered her head slightly, looking very shy.

I have to say that the little girl is very lovable, and it also makes Tian Xiao's mood a lot better, allowing him to slowly get rid of the loneliness he felt just now.

Ten minutes later, Tian Xiao followed the little girl into a community and took the elevator to the 26th floor. The girl knocked on the door, and soon the door opened. The person who opened the door was a woman in her thirties, but she looked older because she worked too hard, and her face looked ten years older than her actual age.

"Rongrong is back, eh? Who is this young man?"

Tian Xiao smiled politely and said: "Hello, auntie, Rongrong encountered a little trouble on the road and it has been solved. I can't feel relieved, so I sent her back specially."

Tian Xiao's real age is actually about the same as Rongrong's mother, but he looks too young, only about twenty years old. In order to avoid unnecessary trouble, he can only call her aunt shamelessly.

"Trouble? Is this kid Rongrong causing trouble again? Please come in, please come in!" Rongrong's mother suddenly became nervous when she heard that Rongrong was in trouble, and hurriedly called Tian Xiao into the house.

Tian Xiao quickly explained: "No, no, Rongrong is very good and obedient! I just happened to encounter a little trouble, and it has been resolved now. There is no problem."

"Oh, that's good, that's good. Please sit down quickly and I'll bring you a cup of tea." Rongrong's mother warmly greeted Tian Xiao to sit down, and then shouted toward the kitchen: "Rongrong's dad, come out quickly." , guests are coming!”

"Here, who is it?"

A man's voice came from the kitchen, and then a man wearing an apron came out of it.

The man was also in his thirties, and his face showed some traces of vicissitudes of life, but he was very clean and not a single beard could be seen.

However, the most eye-catching thing is the man's hands. His right hand only has a thumb, and his left hand only has a thumb and index finger!

The two hands look like bare old trees, which is a bit scary!

"Sun Yongjiang!"

Tian Xiao opened his eyes wide and looked at the man in front of him in surprise.

"You! Are you...Tian Xiao?"

The moment Sun Yongjiang saw Tian Xiao, his eyes suddenly showed a variety of complex emotions in a very short period of time, including surprise, confusion, and even anger!

Rongrong's mother noticed that something was not right between the two of them and asked, "Do you know Rongrong's father?"

Sun Yongjiang was awakened by Rongrong's mother. He hid his emotions very well and said: "An old friend, Rongrong's mother, you go get the food first while I talk to my old friend. And Rongrong, You can go back to your room and do your homework."

Although Rongrong's mother clearly felt that there was a problem between the two of them, she still greeted Tian Xiao without asking any more questions, turned around and took Rongrong to the room.

Xiao Rongrong also noticed something, with deep curiosity on her red face. She looked at Sun Yongjiang and Tian Xiao several times, as if she wanted to say something, but in the end she pursed her lips, lowered her head and went back to the room with her mother. .

Sun Yongjiang's expression was slightly complicated, and he slowly sat opposite Tian Xiao.

"Thirteen years, you...how are you still the same? Everyone thinks you have..."

"You think I'm dead?" Tian Xiao didn't have any scruples about this. He put his eyes on Sun Yongjiang's hands and felt that his heart was blocked by a cloud of turbid air, which made him very uncomfortable.

"You...hate me very much, don't you?"

Tian Xiao didn't know where to start, and finally said such a sentence involuntarily.

Sun Yongjiang was silent for a moment, with a look of reminiscence in his eyes, and finally sighed softly.

"If it were before, I would definitely hate you to death. But now, many things have been put aside, so I can't say I hate you too much. A blessing in disguise is a blessing in disguise. If it weren't for you, I probably wouldn't have the stable life I have now. .”

Sun Yongjiang's answer surprised Tian Xiao, but he did not answer, just looked at him directly, knowing that he had something to say.

"How should I put it? In the years after you disappeared, everyone thought you were dead. I thought at the time, even though I broke seven fingers, you paid the price with your life, so there is no need for me to always hold a grudge against one. dead."

"It's a pity that I didn't die."

Tian Xiao spoke calmly, as if he was reminding Sun Yongjiang, and also as if he was lamenting his fate.

Sun Yongjiang smiled, shook his head, and suddenly asked: "You still remember Wang Qiang and Li Bing, right?"

"Remember."

Wang Qiang and Li Bing were also Tian Xiao's junior high school classmates. Together with Sun Yongjiang, they were the leading bullies in the class at that time.

"Wang Qiang is dead."

"died?"

Tian Xiao was shocked. Although he disliked and even hated Wang Qiang like other classmates in junior high school, when he heard the news of his death, Tian Xiao's heart trembled slightly.

"Yeah, he's dead. He got into a fight and was hacked to death."

Sun Yongjiang picked up the kettle on the table with his two remaining fingers, poured a cup of tea for Tian Xiao and then poured a cup for himself.

"Calculating the time, it should be the third year since you disappeared."

Sun Yongjiang picked up the teacup and took a sip, his eyes full of memories.

"Li Bing was among them. He beat several people to disability. Afterwards, he was arrested and sent to a cell. He was sentenced to fifteen years. He has not been released yet."

Tian Xiao also picked up the tea cup and took a sip. Hearing what Sun Yongjiang said, he somewhat understood the meaning of the saying "a blessing in disguise".

"If you had healthy fingers, you would go too?"

Sun Yongjiang clicked his lips a few times and said frankly: "You know what my temper was like when I was young. Speaking of which, thanks to you, I was killed in advance. Since then, those so-called brothers have gradually alienated me, and I have also I slowly calmed down my temper. Having said that, it was not a very pleasant time."

Having said this, Sun Yongjiang chuckled and said "haha", his eyes turned to Tian Xiao's face again, and added: "That was also the time when I hated you the most. It was a pity that you were dead, otherwise I would have killed you personally. .”

Tian Xiao nodded and said nothing.

He knew that the young Sun Yongjiang was indeed likely to do this.

Seeing Tian Xiao's lack of reaction, Sun Yongjiang felt bored and sighed: "Wang Qiang was only twenty-five years old when he died and was not married. I pity his parents. He is the only child in the family. When he was still alive, he His parents beat him and scolded him. They disliked him for being a devil and having no abilities, so they almost kicked him out. But after he left, the two old people almost fainted from crying. The next few years also passed. It was so confusing that not long after, the two old men fell ill and died one after another."

"Pity the hearts of parents in the world. No matter how unfilial they are, they are still their own children after all. A person with white hair gives a gift to a person with black hair. This kind of pain is something that ordinary people cannot feel."

Listening to Sun Yongjiang's emotion, Tian Xiao fell into deep thought silently.

He thought of his parents. Didn't they also work hard to raise him until he was in his twenties? The two old men had no aspirations for the rest of their lives, they just looked forward to becoming talented as soon as possible. As long as they lived well, they would always have smiles on their faces no matter how hard their lives were.

It's a pity that the son wants to be raised but cannot be cared for. Seeing that he was about to graduate, the two old people passed away. After so many years, I haven't been able to burn a stack of paper money, and I don't even know where the grave was dug...

Tian Xiao's nose felt sour, and his eyes couldn't help but become red again. Even though he tried his best to endure it, his two rows of teeth could not help but tremble.

Tian Xiao drank tea to cover up his gaffe, and Sun Yongjiang himself fell into memories and did not notice Tian Xiao's state.

"Li Bing is better off. At least he is fine. Fifteen years. When he is released after serving his sentence, he will be almost forty, right? I'm afraid this life will just pass by like this."

"Whenever I think about this, I actually can't help but feel lucky. My finger was broken and I became a disabled person. But fortunately, my family still had some savings back then, so my parents helped me get a wife, who is now Rongrong's mother. .”

Sun Yongjiang showed a peaceful smile on his face and continued: "The next year we had the child Rongrong. This child is good, obedient, follows her mother's will, and does not cause trouble."

Tian Xiao nodded and said: "Rongrong is a good boy, he is annoying, I like him very much."
