Chapter 125: Flawless
He didn't get angry after hearing this, as if he had expected her to react this way, everything was within his expectations, just as always.
The phoenix chick slightly raised its index finger, and the surrounding scenery instantly turned to ashes and turned into dust.
Jiaoran was stunned.
"what are you up to?"
He said, "I can't be the only one who remembers this. God is unfair."
After saying that, he covered Jiaoran's head with five fingers. Jiaoran subconsciously wanted to struggle and summon the thin dragon.
But when the sword was really in her hand, she had the power to compete with him, and a steady stream of memories poured into her mind.
She slowly lowered her hand, pointing the tip of the sword to the ground, her expression calm. In a moment, her eyes widened, as if she had seen the most terrifying thing in the world.
Born into a poor family where people could not get enough food to eat.
The lowest class of people couldn't even get a full meal a day.
She had never eaten meat before. The only thing she could imagine the taste of meat was a pot of soup that was neither yellow nor white and cooked by a family at the entrance of the village after killing a stray dog.
She took a deep sniff, and the aroma of the gravy made her drool.
She knelt down cowardly and begged for alms for one piece.
But no, she still couldn't eat it.
If insects can be considered meat, then she has actually eaten them before. Once, she found a small hole in the woods and reached in to dig. No matter if it was a snake, a toad or anything else, she wanted to eat it.
Cicada.
It hadn't even grown wings yet, and its flesh was still tender, golden and fragrant, so she stuffed the whole thing into her mouth without even washing it.
Her teeth were heavy and some mud was stuck in them, but the meat was fragrant and she was satisfied.
Returned home satisfied.
Outside the village, a wealthy family behind a mountain was looking for a maid, a girl under the age of seventeen.
The human trafficker was looking at the girls in the village one by one at the door of their house. When it was their turn, the matchmaker shook her head and said, "She is too thin, so thin that it's scary."
She has never had a full meal since she was born, and she never squatted down after eating the previous meal. How could such a poor family raise a fair and chubby little girl?
But A'niang still pushed them both to the human trafficker and begged her to buy one of them, saying that there were three boys in the family who were almost starving to death.
The whole village is poor, and there are few good-looking girls. Most of them are ugly.
Finally, I stopped at their door and chose one of the two girls.
A better looking one.
Didn't choose her.
She blocked the human trafficker's way like a madman, saying that she was better at work than her sister and could do well no matter what she was asked to do.
The toothbearer looked at her and found that she was not as pretty as her sister. Her nose was too big, her eyes were too small, her teeth were uneven, and one of them had fallen out and had not grown back yet.
But she didn't care. She knew that if she followed them, she would have enough to eat. Otherwise, when her mother spent all her money, they would be hungry again.
She couldn't bear it anymore. Hunger was the most unbearable thing in the world. When you were hungry, your stomach felt like it was on fire. The more water you drank, the harder it was to put out the fire.
She couldn't stand it.
The human trafficker looked at the girl hugging his thighs and helplessly called her mother to take her away, otherwise they would not be able to reach the house before dark.
I sold it for twenty coins, only enough to buy ten pancakes, but it was enough.
Being able to sell it for twenty cents was already a great deal in this small village. Exchanging one's children for food was also common in these troubled times, so being able to still have twenty cents was already very good.
She still pestered them and refused to give in.
Her mother pulled her ear and dragged her into the house. "You want to follow others and eat delicious food and drink spicy drinks, right? I tell you, you won't have such a good life. I sold it for twenty coins, and you can't spend a single penny of my money. Are you hungry? Do you want to eat?"
He picked up the axe for chopping wood. He had borrowed the axe from another family in the village because they were so poor that they couldn't even afford a new one.
That axe had always been used to chop bamboo, weeds, and firewood, but this was the first time it had been used to chop off a human head.
Very sharp.
She raised her hand and cut off half of her head.
Later she became a strange person, because most people have one head, but she only had half one.
She only has one ear and one eye left.
Her mother cut it diagonally, so only half of her head is left diagonally.
It is natural that if a person's white brain is exposed, he is doomed to die.
But she didn't die.
But it didn't heal. As time went by, some flesh and blood grew out of her wound and wrapped around the broken head.
But missing half of the face is still scary.
One eye, one ear, half a head.
That day, her chopped-off flesh and skull fell to the ground, and A'niang picked them up and threw them into the boiling water.
She said, "Eat, eat. Aren't you hungry and want to eat meat? Here is the meat."
The meat was so delicious that she couldn't resist.
So she pushed her brothers aside with blood all over her face, fighting for a share of her cooked flesh.
A woman with only half a face and half a head left, extremely ugly.
Her life became more difficult.
After an unknown amount of time, an acrobatic troupe passed by.
Some people in the acrobatic troupe can swallow swords, some can tame snakes, and some have no limbs and writhe on the ground like a snake.
There are many weird people.
It’s no big deal if you lose an arm; you can’t even join the acrobatic troupe.
To enter the acrobatic troupe's tent and watch the strange people, you have to pay three cents each time.
So they want strange people, the stranger the better.
She was noticed.
There is only one request, "Can I eat enough?"
They bought her for ten cents.
Half the price of her sister because she has only half the head.
The newly grown flesh covered her head like a ball of red grapes, connecting to her face.
No one dared to look her in the eye.
She was so scary, like a demon.
Even her mother, who gave birth to her, said, "Why don't you just die?"
Her brothers said, "It would be better if you died."
But she was not dead, she was still alive, and was even sold for ten cents.
So she followed them out of the small village and went to more places.
Anyone who wants to spend three cents to see these weirdos can be invited to one of the green tents.
In addition to her strange appearance, there are also people with eyes as big as fists, people with mouths so big that they reach their ears, and the most noteworthy is a man with a nose so long that it reaches the ground.
His nose was so long that many nobles would rather spend three cents to look at him than at an ugly woman with half a head.
What they have to do is simple, either sit still or crawl around in the cage.
To be precise, they don't look like humans, but more like some kind of beast.
The dignitaries who spent three cents to see them probably didn't treat them as human beings.
Sometimes people in the acrobatic troupe would spend money to buy little beggars, who were also children abducted from their homes.
They can be sold to acrobatic troupes for a good price, and these old beggars will be happy to hand their children over to them without caring about the children's fate.
She sat in the silent night outside the tent, watching with her one eye a cage of children being skinned alive. Then they took the skin of a dog and covered the skinned children with it, turning the children into half-human, half-beast monsters.
In this way, anyone who came to see them would receive three cents.
Ten people would cost thirty cents.
One hundred people would cost three hundred coins.
So she and those weirdos wouldn't go hungry.
The owner bought several such children, but the first few whose skins were peeled died, and the money was wasted.
That night they were too frightened to scream.
Soon there were only two children left in the cage.
They walked out of the tent and saw half a head outside, "Why don't you go to bed?! What are you doing here?!"
She said, "Look at the moon."
They laughed together, their hands stained with the blood of the child and the dog.
In the middle of the night, she got up to go to the bathroom.
I saw the man with the long nose also stood up.
She was undoing the lock on the cage, she had always been quite deft with her hands so she tried to open this lock.
He saw it.
She didn't stop and continued to pry the lock of the cage with a wire.
Pried open.
She lifted the long nose of the man with the long nose, kissed him and asked him to keep it a secret.
In fact, she didn't know what to do to make him keep the secret. She thought of the snake girl in the opera troupe who sang beautiful songs and kissed him and asked him to hold her and feed her.
She was no longer that hungry and didn't need him to feed her. Although she had lost half of her head, she still had her hands and could eat by herself. She just wanted him to shut up and not say anything.
He didn't say anything.
The next day the cage was empty, and the two children had run away quietly.
The troupe owner immediately guessed that someone in the acrobatics class was helping them.
Then the long-nosed man's nose was chopped off.
He died of blood loss. His long nose bled a lot, and when the troupe set off, his bleeding had not yet stopped, and they left behind a body.
He admitted that it was he who let the child run away.
Never mention her kiss or her superb lock-picking ability.
In the carriage she was still wondering why he hadn't told them it was actually her.
She doesn't understand.
She didn't even understand what it meant to help the world when you are rich and to take care of yourself when you are poor.
Her untimely kindness will only kill herself and others.
Although she didn't know the boundary between good and evil, she grew up in hunger and everything was based on instinct.
She was a person who had never been loved and grew up like an animal.
She let them go that night not because she felt sorry for them, but because she thought the two children were very good-looking. They looked different from them, and they were complete and good-looking people.
When he grows up, he will be a good-looking person.
And they are, broken, ugly people.
She prayed silently in her heart that one day she would suddenly become as beautiful as them and no longer be so ugly.
Long Nose died, and the acrobatic troupe bought someone even stranger.
He has a snake tail.
His upper body is human, but his lower body is a snake tail, and it even has blue scales.
The snake's tail is not often seen. It only appears for a moment when his blue blood flows.
He was very weak, as if he had been seriously injured, and there were even traces of burns on his body.
What kind of weapon can leave so many gorgeous wounds in different shapes on a person?
This new friend cannot speak.
She didn't know whether he couldn't speak or didn't want to speak.
He was very fierce and was also locked in a cage.
Later he was released with several wounds on his body. After collecting several bowls of blue blood, he turned into half human, half snake again.
They untied his garments from his waist, and showed his serpent's tail, and his two other members, to every one that gave three pence.
He became angry, as if he was extremely humiliated. Here, he became a monster without dignity.
And he brought it all upon himself.
It was his first time in the human world. He thought that the human world his mother had wanted to bring him to might not be as good as the Wonderland, but it was not too bad either. However, the mortals he saw did not look like humans, but like beasts without intelligence.
He swung his snake tail and struggled desperately, but he was greeted by whips and they beat him severely for frightening the guests.
The guests were about to leave, their faces pale with fear.
She knew that if he messed up and lost so many guests, he would be beaten half to death tonight, and not only him, but all the weirdos in the tent would be beaten.
So she took off her clothes and stood naked in the tent to dance for the guests.
An ugly woman with only half of her head left took off all her clothes and danced a funny dance. The guests turned around and laughed out loud.
She laughed and threw her clothes to him. The clothes fell on his snake tail. His pointed ears turned red, revealing his helplessness.
He raised his head and looked at this mortal woman. Didn't she have any sense of shame? He thought to himself.
But she really didn't.
She even took the initiative to pull the customer's hand and caress her body.
That day, the guests threw a lot of silver and some rings and silver hairpins at them. The boss made a lot of money and didn't say he would beat them. Instead, he treated them to a big meal and added a grilled fish for each person.
In the middle of the night, she saw his eyes glowing red.
She climbed up and stared at him curiously.
"Why are your eyes glowing red?"
He asked her, "Why do you only have one eye?"
He said, “My mother gave it to me.”
She also said, "My mother gave it to me."
"So your mother also has red eyes?"
He nodded.
Ask her, "Does your mother also have only one eye and half a head?"
She shook her head.
"You helped me today, what do you want?"
She was honest, "I'm not doing this to help you, I'm doing this to help myself. I don't want to get beaten."
"Did they beat you too?"
"Why not? I didn't want to kneel down and lick a customer's shoes, so I was beaten so badly that I couldn't walk for half a month."
He heard it but didn't say anything.
"Are you a human or a snake?"
He said neither, "I am a dragon."
"What is a Jiao?"
"It's a dragon, but it's not a dragon."
She nodded, "So your name is Jiao?"
He said no, "My name is... Ah Heng, what's yours?"
She said, “I don’t have a name.”
"Impossible. Every mortal has a name."
"When my head was still intact, I was called Hey, and sometimes Hey. After I only had half a head left, they sometimes called me Half-Head, and sometimes One-Eye, so I don't know what to call myself."
"Your mother didn't give you a name?"
She said, “We didn’t have names, me and my siblings.”
"Where did they go?"
She said she didn’t know, “Maybe they’re all dead.”
He was in so much pain that he lay on his back, unable to utter a word.
Revenge is satisfying, but the price to pay is also huge. He almost died. Fortunately, he still had a breath to escape to the mortal world. He has to wait for his body to recover slowly.
"Does it hurt?"
He didn't say anything.
She used the same trick to open the cage.
Seeing that she could get in, he was speechless.
She said, "I know a way to make it less painful for you."
He said, "Is it some herb? Give me some."
She said no, undressed herself, and sat astride him.
This is a game for mortals. In the wonderland, no one plays this game with him.
This was a very interesting game, and it sent an indescribable pleasure rising up in his body, second only to his hatred.
They were extremely ugly, like two ferocious beasts.
Mating in the dark.
He kissed her eye when he finished, "Who taught you this?"
She said, "This is how people here relieve pain. Are you still in pain?"
He asked her, "Is there anything you want?"
As compensation, he should give her something. In his heart, he should give her some compensation.
She said, "What does your name mean?"
"My mother wants me to always be an upright person and not fall into darkness."
"Then give me a name that's just as good."
He said, "What are you looking forward to?"
"I want a complete head and a complete face."
"Wuxia, how is it?"
"What does it mean?"
"Very good meaning."
She believed him.
