Chapter 15 Tang Beiju's Past
Tang Beiju's original name was not Tang Beiju, but Xigua Beiju.
He was born in the Watermelon Clan of the Fruit Kingdom, a tribe known as the God of War Fruit Clan. His father, Watermelon Yueguang, was the most promising next generation leader of the Watermelon Clan.
It can be said that his status in the fruit kingdom is very high, and he is a young master who was born with a silver spoon in his mouth.
Although he was born into a noble family, the Watermelon Clan did not raise useless people, but only produced war gods. When he was still a baby, he was forced to start learning the fighting skills of the Watermelon Clan.
The watermelon tribe's reproduction method is quite special, unlike other fruit tribes. If other fruit tribes want to have a child, they only need to find the sacred tree in their tribe and pray to the sacred tree to give them a child.
For the Watermelon Clan, if they want to have children, the couple must be a man and a woman, and they need to be together for a period of time before they can pray to the sacred tree to give them two watermelon-shaped fruits, which they each eat.
After eating, they wait for a while, and the man is responsible for giving birth to the lower half/body of the child, and the woman is responsible for giving birth to the upper half/body of the child.
Finally, the two halves/body were joined together at the waist and sewed together with needle and thread. The stitches were removed about three days later, and a living child was born.
The process of giving birth is difficult and painful, so compared with other fruit families, the watermelon family has extremely few offspring.
At the same time, childbirth will have a great impact on the bodies of both parties. Therefore, in order to ensure that the tribe members will not die during childbirth, the Watermelon Tribe must also exercise the physical fitness of the tribe members from an early age, striving to minimize the risks.
"Father, let me do this. You can continue to sit for a while."
Xigua Yueguang and his wife Xigua Taiyang recently started to have their second child, and both of their bellies are showing.
Xigua Beiju is looking forward to having a new family.
In the living room, Xigua Yueguang seemed to be about to get up to drink some water. Seeing this, Xigua Beiju hurried forward and asked Xigua Yueguang to continue sitting. He then quickly ran to pour water and handed a cup to Xigua Yueguang. At the same time, he also handed a cup to Xigua Taiyang, who was sitting next to Xigua Yueguang.
Watermelon Taiyang smiled faintly and took the water. The water was warm and tasted very good.
"Beiju, do you hope this baby will be a boy or a girl?"
Watermelon Taiyang asked.
Hearing this, the little Watermelon Beiju lowered his head in thought for a while before slowly saying, "Both my brother and sister are my family. I will do my best to protect them throughout their lives."
After these words were spoken, Xigua Yueguang and Xigua Taiyang smiled at each other, their eyes full of happiness.
Xigua Beiju had a happy and joyful childhood.
Until one day, on the day Xigua Qiuyue was officially born, a group of men in black suddenly appeared from nowhere and launched a brutal attack on the Xigua tribe.
They are not very powerful, but they know the weaknesses of the Watermelon Clan very well, many of which are unknown even to the Watermelon Clan.
That night, many people from the Watermelon Tribe died, and watermelons that had been killed and turned back to their original forms were everywhere. The ground was covered with watermelons that seemed to have been smashed to pieces, with juice all over the ground.
Xigua Yueguang and Xigua Taiyang are among the top fighters of the watermelon tribe, but because they just gave birth, their martial arts strength is greatly reduced, making it difficult for them to deal with these men in black who have been well prepared.
Before the group of men in black were about to break down their family's door, Xigua Yueguang and Xigua Taiyang exchanged a glance, and the next second, Xigua Yueguang crossed the line and gave himself the rights of the leader of the Xigua tribe.
After gaining the power, Xigua Yueguang's eyes flashed with reluctance. He gritted his teeth and forced the crime upon their son, Xigua Beiju, and took off the waist pendant that belonged to Xigua Beiju.
"Beiju, do you still remember your desire to protect your sister?"
A raging fire had begun to burn outside, the sounds of fighting continued, and people fell to the ground one after another. At this difficult moment, Xigua Taiyang squatted down, looked at Xigua Beijuping equally, and smiled gently.
Xigua Beiju nodded, indicating that he still remembered.
"Well, Beiju, now you have this opportunity in advance. From now on, it will be up to you to take care of my sister."
Because she was just born, Tang Qiuyue's waist pendant, which should symbolize her identity, has not yet appeared. At first glance, it is impossible to tell which fruit tribe she comes from.
"Father, Mother, can you please not leave me?"
Xigua Beiju grabbed the corner of Xigua Taiyang's clothes and said with tears in his eyes.
In response, Xigua Taiyang just continued to give a soothing smile, firmly moved away Tang Beiju's pleading arm, stood up, turned his back to them, and said: "Beiju, promise me that you will live well!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Xigua Yueguang opened the secret passage hidden behind the wall. He hardened his heart and pushed Xigua Beiju, who was holding the young Xigua Qiuyue in his hands, in with force.
It takes some time for the watermelon tribe's logo to grow out. Without the watermelon tribe's logo, it will be extremely difficult to find the traces of the watermelon tribe. Such an operation may give them a glimmer of hope.
——
Xigua Beiju was finally exposed.
A convict boy, about four or five years old, holding a crying baby girl, this pair is extremely eye-catching.
"Catch him!"
Xigua Beiju ran all the way with Xigua Qiuyue in his arms. After several days of wandering, he looked extremely haggard.
But even so, the genes of the watermelon tribe still played to the extreme at this moment. Although he was only a child of a few years old and was holding a baby in his arms, he ran very fast. For a while, the men in black who were tracking him could not catch him.
But that was only for a moment, and soon, Xigua Beiju was surrounded by men in black.
"Kid, if you want to blame someone, just blame your bad luck for being from the watermelon tribe."
The leader of the men in black came out, looked down at Xigua Beiju with sharp eyes, and said.
"Who are you? Why are you trying to exterminate all of us Watermelon Tribe?!"
Xigua Beiju raised his head and glared fiercely.
Perhaps thinking Xigua Beiju was doomed, the leader decided to let him die with a clear conscience before he died:
"We are from Chiguo Pavilion, the largest killer gang in the Fruit City. Someone spent a lot of money just to wipe out your Watermelon Clan."
"How did you know our Watermelon Clan's weaknesses? We ourselves don't even know, but you know it so clearly?!"
"Of course someone told me that your father made friends with the best people in our Chiguo Pavilion..."
Before he could finish, the next moment, the other party's voice stopped, his eyes widened, and blood slowly flowed from the corner of his mouth.
A snow-white sword with a sharp blade pierced his heart. The leader fell down and turned back to his original form. On the ground was a lychee with a cracked skin and crushed flesh inside.
The person who killed him was one of the men in black standing behind the leader. Seeing that the situation was not right, the other men in black immediately stepped forward to fight with him.
The man in black who rebelled temporarily had extremely high fighting power. Facing a group of masters, he remained calm and responded easily. Soon, the ground was covered with rotten lychees.
After killing the people, he turned his head to look at Xigua Beiju who was hugging Xigua Qiuyue tightly and walked towards them.
His steps were extremely slow, and in Xigua Beiju's eyes, they looked like the dance of death. He subconsciously retreated cautiously.
"Hello, I'm Lizhi Yuhui, just call me Yuhui. I'm an old friend of your father."
Lizhi Yuhui took off the black mask on his face, revealing a handsome face that looked about twenty years old.
Xigua Beiju's eyes were filled with doubt: "How do you prove it?"
After hearing this, Lizhi Yuhui frowned slightly, touched his chin, tilted his head, and looked thoughtful. After a long while, his eyes lit up and he replied with a confident but unjustified attitude, "It can't be proven!"
Hearing this, Xigua Beiju glanced at him coldly. Lizhi Yuhui could see from his eyes that he had the word "have" written in his left eye and the word "disease" written in his right eye.
In response, Lizhi Yuhui raised his eyebrows and smiled.
"I can't prove my relationship with your father, but I can guarantee that if you follow me, you will definitely live a long and peaceful life without any interference."
"Why should I trust you?"
"You have no choice. If you don't trust me and don't come with me, the result will be that you and your sister in your arms will continue to endure countless pursuits, and finally, exhausted, die in one of these pursuits, and leave this world forever."
Xigua Beiju was silent.
Although he was young, he happened to encounter an unexpected change, which forced him to become mature and overthink in just a few days.
After listening to Lizhi Yuhui's words, Xigua Beiju pondered for a long time, analyzing the pros and cons. Finally, he spoke:
"I'll go with you."
Just as Lizhi Yuhui said, he had no choice but to take a gamble in exchange for a glimmer of hope.
After getting Xigua Beiju's consent, Lizhi Yuhui curled the corners of his mouth, then turned his back to Xigua Beiju, raised his Liuli Guangping sword, and cut a gap in the air.
The gap was emitting a dazzling green light. Lizhi Yuhui swung his Liuli Guangping Sword and pressed one side of the gap with both hands.
The next second, the clothes on his arm burst open, his muscles began to swell, and blue veins protruded one after another. Lizhi Yuhui's face was ferocious, and he tried his best to widen the gap with all his strength.
After a long time, the gap expanded into a hole that was big enough for half an adult to fit through. From the outside, it was pitch black and unfathomable inside, which made people subconsciously fear the unknown.
Lizhi Yuhui smiled and said to Tang Beiju:
"Come in."
Xigua Beiju frowned and asked curiously, "What's inside?"
"A whole new world. You won't see anyone from the Fruit Tribe except me and your sister."
Xigua Beiju seemed a little hesitant. Seeing that he was still hesitant to move, Litchi Yuhui sighed deeply to dispel his vigilance against this gap.
"Okay, if you're worried, I'll go in first."
After he finished speaking, he supported himself with one hand at one end of the gap, raised one leg and stepped over. Just as his entire body was about to enter the gap, Xigua Beiju called out to stop him: "Wait a minute!"
Lizhi Yuhui turned around and looked at him: "What's the matter?"
Xigua Beiju pointed at the Liuli Guangping Sword on the ground and asked:
"Aren't you going to take it with you?"
You know, the sword is the swordsman's second life.
Lizhi Yuhui followed the direction of his finger, looked at the Liuli Guangping Sword on the ground, and said nonchalantly:
"It doesn't matter. It's useless to bring it over. It won't be of much use."
Liuli Guangping Sword: Are you polite?
After saying that, Lizhi Yuhui looked at Xigua Beiju with concern and continued to ask, "Is there anything else you want to ask?"
Xigua Beiju glanced at the pitiful Liuli Guangping Sword lying on the ground and said silently, "...It's gone..."
Seeing that Xigua Beiju didn't say anything, Litchi Yuhui didn't stop and continued walking inside, completely disappearing in front of Xigua Beiju.
There was no one around, and Xigua Beiju, without the seemingly obvious coercion from Litchi Yuhui, finally calmed down completely and had time to think about countermeasures.
At this moment, he had two choices. One was to leave the scene while no one was paying attention and find a safe place to continue hiding. The other was to take the way out that Lizhi Yuhui had given him...
“Wow wow wow—”
After thinking for a long time, Xigua Beiju finally decided to slip away. The reason was simple: he did not trust Litchi Yuhui.
He never overlooked a key piece of information: Lizhi Yuhui, his last name was Lizhi, and at the beginning, he was in the same group with this group of men in black.
However, just as he was about to leave, Xigua Qiuyue, who had never cried or made a fuss since birth, suddenly started crying.
Her body was desperately moving towards the gap, as if she really wanted to get in.
"Qiuyue, do you want to go in there?"
Xigua Beiju was confused and couldn't help asking.
Xigua Qiuyue can't speak yet, but her actions show her attitude.
The incident happened suddenly and Xigua Beiju had to reconsider.
He looked up at the opened gap, gritted his teeth, changed his direction, and walked towards the gap.
Since this is Qiuyue’s judgment, then he will go this time!
