"Can you use this?" He took one away from me last time, and I don't know if he can use it.
Qi Siling looked at the strange stick in his hand and asked, "Is this red button?"
"Yeah, just stab them. They're full of electricity!"
"Charge! Leave me some breath!" The stall owner roared, and two groups of people in the alley rushed towards the two men.
Xia Youyou couldn't help but feel fortunate that they didn't have weapons like sticks, otherwise they would be the ones who would suffer!
Without waiting for anyone to rush to him, Xia Youyou took the lead and went forward to meet him.
Screams and sizzling sounds echoed in the alley.
Xia Youyou rushed into the crowd, avoiding the hands of those people who were grabbing at her. She hit the stun gun on their heads and poked them casually, and the people were knocked down by the electric shock.
In less than a quarter of an hour, the crowded alley collapsed. The arrogant stall owner was still twitching, pointing at the two men, his face filled with fear. Even with so many of them, they couldn't subdue these two men. And what were those sticks they were holding?
Xia Youyou didn't have time to think about so many things, and quickly took out a pill from her bag and put it in her mouth.
Qi Siling kicked away the one he had electrocuted, swiftly swung his long arm to another, pressed the button, and hit another! With agility, he weaved through the crowd, kicking the one who tried to attack from behind with his long leg, pressing the stun gun on him. After finishing off the last person, he turned around to see her lips dark purple, her face pale, and his heart tightened.
"What's wrong with you?" I saw her stuffing medicine into her mouth. "What did you take?"
Xia Youyou paused for a moment, leaning against the wall and looking at him weakly. The palpitations and chest tightness she felt had finally eased thanks to the medication, and she finally spoke.
"Heart disease, I just took medicine."
Qi Siling was shocked. How could this be? The worry on his face turned into an indescribable emotion. Why was it a heart attack?
Xia Youyou noticed his breathing becoming rapid, "What's wrong with you?" Wasn't the person dealt with? Glancing at the twitching people on the ground, "No one will die, let's get out first."
Qi Siling was a little lost, not knowing what he was thinking. Xia Youyou could only pull his wrist and avoid the fallen man to the exit.
When they finally got back to the main road, Xia Youyou finally breathed a sigh of relief. It was so exciting!
She let go of his wrist and walked forward. Seeing that he was following her, she didn't ask any more questions.
"Which way should we go back?" If she knew the way, she really didn't want to disturb his thoughts.
Qi Siling finally reacted, looked around, and pointed in a direction, "Let's go this way. Do you want to go back?" He saw that he was still holding the stick in his hand, and handed it to her, "Here you go."
Xia Youyou took it, put it in her bag, and walked in the direction he pointed.
The two of them remained silent all the way until they returned to the guesthouse.
Cao An hadn't returned yet, and when they reached the door, they realized they didn't have the key. She could only squat at the door and wait.
"You go back first. I'll wait for my brother to come back."
Qi Siling had been in a daze all the way, but after hearing what she said, he came to his senses, "No need, I'll wait with you." He had been thinking about the heart attack and didn't notice that they had arrived at the guesthouse.
"What's your heart condition?"
Xia Youyou didn't expect that he had been thinking about this all the way.
"Innate."
His face stiffened again and he remained silent.
Xia Youyou felt a little uncomfortable squatting, so she took out a piece of cloth from her bag and spread it on the floor in the corridor.
"Come sit down for a while."
Upon hearing this, Qi Siling leaned over and sat down.
"What's wrong with you?" Xia Youyou couldn't stand his silence anymore and finally asked.
He was a little dazed and didn't know what to say.
"My mother also had a congenital heart disease and died after giving birth to me." Since then, his father ignored him, his family members mocked him, and only his grandfather protected him.
"This can't be blamed on you. If anyone is to blame, shouldn't it be your father?"
This was the first time Qi Siling heard this statement. "Why blame my father?"
Xia Youyou rolled her eyes. "Is this the child he wants? Is this the one who got your mother pregnant?"
The heavy shackles that had been weighing on him for twenty years suddenly snapped. Qi Siling had been taught since childhood that he was destined to bring bad luck to his mother, and it had never occurred to him that his mother's death was caused by his father.
Seeing that he was still frowning, Xia Youyou asked, "If you knew your mother had a heart disease, would you still let her give birth to you?"
"No!" He would rather not exist in this world than have his mother die.
"So, your father didn't know your mother had a heart disease?"
Qi Siling suddenly realized, so, the shackles they had put on themselves for the past twenty years had always been wrong?
"You have no say in your birth. Your father decides the life and death of you and your mother!"
He looked at the bright girl in front of him, his eyes suddenly reddened, and a smile from the heart finally appeared on his lips. She is salvation!
Because of her words, he threw off the shackles and finally straightened his shoulders and back.
The corridor fell silent again, but Qi Siling's mood had clearly improved. A faint smile played on his lips. He seemed much gentler now, no longer cold and distant.
"So you've had a hard life since you were a child? Is it because of your mother's death?" Xia Youyou felt pity for Qi Siling and wanted to comfort her.
He shook his head and smiled bitterly, "I guess it's just that I don't want to let myself go. I've been with my grandfather since I was a child. He taught me knowledge, taught me the principles of being a human being, taught me to be grateful, and taught me not to be filled with hatred. This way, I can live a less tiring life."
Xia Youyou reached behind him and gently patted his stiff back. Even through the thick clothes, she could still feel his slight trembling.
"You're not at fault at all."
"Thank you." He turned to look at the much shorter girl. "It wasn't until today that I realized: some things are destined to happen, and no matter how much I try to please him, it won't change." His father had been sent to a local farm for reform, and he would send his monthly earnings to him, hoping his father would stop hating him so much. But the money was like being thrown into a charity box. The faith was still there, but there was no response.
Xia Youyou withdrew her hand and shook it off indifferently, "This is nothing." They at least had such a beautiful world, but she was kept in captivity for twenty years in the later life, and she couldn't blame anyone.
After the heavy topic ended, Xia Youyou became lively, "Where do you live?"
"In the farm outside the capital, with my grandfather."
"Last time I heard you say you had some children at home. How many are there?"
"Ten." At first, there were only two. The children they had picked up in the past two years all had miserable lives. Thinking that she and Cao An were not biological, she asked, "You and your brother are not biological children, so you were adopted too?"
"Yes, after I ran away from home, I wanted to register my household registration, but I didn't expect it to be so troublesome. He took the initiative to help me register my household registration in his house." Thinking of the misunderstanding at that time, she picked her toes in embarrassment.
As soon as Cao An went upstairs, he saw two people sitting at the door of the room, "Why are you back so early? Don't you want to play for a while?" He also saw that the two of them were a little messy, and Xia Youyou's hair was even loose.
"What happened?"
