Li Xiaolong was born in He Wen City, a prosperous city filled with crimes. It was said that there were five types of people here: tycoons, invisible tycoons, hoodlums, police officers, and the poor. Li Xiaolong, unfortunately, became a fifth type of person.
The night in He Wen City was brightly lit and bustling with activity, but at the same time, there were dark and depraved corners. Most of the people gathered here were local thugs, fighting, drug users, and gambling events.
Wen Xian Street belonged to this gloomy corner. Most of the students here were from the fallen Students' Party of the nearby universities. Many of them would take a detour to avoid trouble. However, Li Xiaolong had chosen this path, and yet, had always been safe and sound. Although Li Xiaolong's body was a little frail, with his cool appearance and strong, tough temperament, no one would dare to casually provoke him.
One night, however, a small accident occurred. When Li Xiaolong returned from his night cultivation, he passed by the dark Wen Xian Road as usual. After walking for a short distance, he suddenly heard a sharp cry coming from the alleyway. He could hear it clearly. It was a woman's voice, and he immediately thought of what had happened. He subconsciously quickened his steps and stopped in front of an alley. His gaze shifted to the left, followed by the dim light. He saw a young girl being molested by two men on the wall. The girl's mouth was covered, making no sound. Her body was trying its best to twist, trying its best to struggle free.
Li Xiaolong knew with his abilities, he definitely could not save the girl, and in the time it took for his mind to wander, he was already stunned, "Hey, kid over there, what are you looking at? "Come here!"
Li Xiaolong stood there unmoving, and did not reply.
"Are you deaf? I called you over! Didn't you hear me? " One of the men shouted as he waved at Xiaolong.
Li Xiaolong now had two choices. One was to go there, and the other was to escape. He chose the former.
"Let her go." Xiao Long walked up to the two men and calmly said.
The two rascals looked at each other, and one of them let go of the woman. He slowly walked towards Xiaolong and said, "What era is it now? "What's your name?"
Li Xiaolong spat out three words from between his teeth and reported his name.
When the two rascals heard this, they looked at each other and then burst out laughing. After laughing, one of them said in disdain: "You are Xiaolong Li? "Then I am Ye Wen!" The other person immediately followed up, "Kick him and try!"
The two hooligans had long since lost their moral integrity as human beings, and had no idea what conscience was.
A violent beating.
The dragon did not fight back. To be more precise, he did not have a chance. The little dragon could only try his best to protect his vital parts, gritting his teeth as he endured a round of punches and kicks. After a while, the two hooligans finally stopped. One of them pointed at Xiao Long and arrogantly said, "Today, let's stop here and scram!" Otherwise, he would meet them for a while and then fight them! And Xiaolong Li? "How disgusting!
Xiao Long wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, but did not leave. He stared at the two hooligans and said indifferently, "Let her go, I will leave immediately."
"You … "You're courting death!" Hearing this, a man flew into a rage and kicked at Xiao Long's lower abdomen. Xiao Long hugged his stomach and kneeled down. That hooligan added another kick to his body and said angrily: "Fuck you, don't you cry if you don't see the coffin?"
The little dragon still had no intention of shrinking back.
The rogue wanted to hit again, but his accomplices stopped him and advised him: "Stop it! It's not good for us to kill him. Today, we're out of luck because we met a stupid kid who wanted to pretend to be a hero. We should go drink. When the other man heard this, his anger did not subside. He did not continue to flare up and only fiercely said, "I've lost all interest in playing with women because of this brat." Finally, he pointed at the dragon and roared, "Scram! "Don't let me see you again!" With that, he cursed a few more times before leaving with his accomplices, leaving behind a man and a woman in the alley.
After the two hoodlums had left, the lady that was saved by Xiao Long walked into the room, trembling. She squatted down and asked in concern, "You … Are you okay? "
Xiao Long replied indifferently, "Nothing." After that, he stood up and walked out, not even sparing the girl a glance. "Thank you …" the woman said, looking at the small figure of the dragon.
Xiao Long did not turn back, but only replied with a moment of silence. Without saying anything further, he dragged his tired and heavy steps, step by step, as he walked out of the alleyway. The dim light stretched his thin figure long, long...
The place that Xiaolong lived in was very simple because he was poor. In He Wen city, poor people should live in slums.
The environment of the cave could be described as gloomy, dilapidated, and narrow. Those three words seemed to be everything. The dragon crossed the dark, damp street and stopped in front of a seven-story white building.
This was where the dragon lived, a building as old as an antique and as crumbling as a dilapidated building. Even worse, he lived on the ground floor, where even in the daytime the sun disdained to visit.
Although Si was a despicable person, Xiao Long had a beautiful younger sister. It was like a peerless princess falling to be a beggar, everything seemed out of place. Her name was Li Xiaoyu.
Just as Xiao Long returned home, her sister Xiao Yu immediately came to greet him, "Big brother, you're back!" Xiaolong was her only family. In her heart, Xiaolong was not only her big brother, but also his guardian. "En!" Xiao Long was cold to her sister's enthusiasm, subconsciously tilting his head to the side and burying half of his face in the shadows.
"Brother, you …" You fought with someone? " Xiao Yu felt that something was wrong and was shocked as she hurriedly asked.
"No, why would I fight?" The dragon took a few steps forward.
"Then what happened to your face?" Xiao Yu wanted to get to the bottom of this.
"I accidentally fell." Xiaolong said perfunctorily.
"Really? You didn't lie to me? " Xiao Yu was skeptical.
"Why would I lie to you? I never fight. You know me. "
"Yes, my brother wouldn't lie. He's a top student in the class. He doesn't know how to lie, and he doesn't know how to fight …" Xiao Yu smiled.
"It's good that you know it. If you have nothing else to do, then go to bed early. You still have to get up early tomorrow." After saying that, Xiaolong was about to go to sleep.
"Do you want me to find some medicine for you to rub on?"
"No need, I'll be fine after a nap."
"It really doesn't matter?"
Xiaolong nodded. "Of course it's true."
Xiao Yu was still worried, and said: "Big brother, promise me, no matter what, do not fight with anyone, okay? "I'm really afraid that something might happen to you …"
"I promise you, don't forget your promise." The dragon said so.
"I know!" Xiao Yu smiled mischievously, "Don't purposely dress up for yourself! "Don't worry, I'm a famous obedient girl in school, don't worry!"
Xiao Yu was an optimistic young girl, and Xiao Long loved to see her smile. Every time he saw her smile, the pain and pressure he felt would disappear without a trace.
"Good!" "As long as we obediently live our lives, big brother believes that in the near future, we will live a good life. We will definitely …" The little dragon said from the bottom of his heart.
"Un, I won't lose to big brother either!" Xiao Yu said very seriously.
In the middle of the night, the little dragon woke up from his nightmare. This was not the first time. He dreamt of his mother, a beautiful, noble, gentle, virtuous, woman who deeply loved him. It was a pity that such a perfect woman had been ruthlessly tainted, ruined, and the young and powerless him was unable to stop this tragedy from happening. It had become an eternal scar at the bottom of his heart, and was also the source of his nightmare. It was for this reason that he detested the lecherous and lecherous women. In this way, it was natural for him to act in a just and courageous manner.
The next morning, Xiaolong woke up from his stupor. He felt a little dizzy and his whole body was in pain. Only then did he realize that his injuries were worse than he had imagined. It wasn't a weekend, and he couldn't go to school like this! However, he still endured the pain and got up from the bed. He made a simple breakfast as usual, but he didn't have any appetite for it. After saying goodbye to Xiao Yu, he hurriedly left, swindling her to say that he was going to school.
He obviously couldn't go to school like this. Not to mention the bruises on his face and his body's extreme discomfort, he simply couldn't concentrate on class at all. He realized that he had to get treatment, and medical expenses became a problem. After some thought, he decided to go back to school, not to the classroom, but to the clinic.
The medical room in the Important Middle School was still very professional. Xiaolong received very good treatment, but he still didn't return to the classroom to teach. In the afternoon, Xiao Long went to find his good friend Tie Shan and told him the whole story and asked him to help him ask for a leave of absence.
After Tie Shan finished listening, he said indignantly, "Do you still recognize those two hooligans? I'll vent your anger on your behalf another day! " Xiao Long quickly waved his hand, "Don't provoke them when you have nothing to do. I'm just slightly injured and won't die."
"Is that even considered a little injury? It's only missing a fracture. Your entire body smells like medicine! " Tie Shan smashed the table heavily, and accepted the call: "I, Tie Shan, am living a rotten life, with no specialties, only growing big, could it be that I am afraid of two hoodlums?"
"Calm down!" "Have you ever thought about what would happen to your family if something happened to you? "The less trouble the better. As you have said, we only have a rotten life left now, and if we were to lose it now, we will have nothing left!"
"I know, you've always been very obedient. You didn't fight or cause any trouble, so why did you have to save that bitch and ruin yourself like this?" Tie Shan did not understand.
"You don't understand …" "There are some things I don't want to say …"
"Since you don't want to say it, I won't ask either. You always have your reasons for what you do …" Tie Shan immediately understood and patted Xiao Long's shoulder gently, consoling him: "Don't worry, I will help you settle the school matters. I already said that you twisted your legs so you can't come to school, but you are a top student, so teacher will definitely not suspect you."
"Ah Shan, thank you …" "Ah, also, in order to not worry my sister, I want to stay here for a period of time. I can't let her smell the medicine on me, right?"
"No problem, sleep with me tonight!" Tie Shan agreed immediately.
"There's no need for that. I'll go back after I've wiped myself clean." The dragon said so.
"Whatever you say!" You always have your reasons for your decisions. " Tie Shan also did not object.
At night, the moon was bright and the wind blew. The ground was covered with a layer of greyish silver. The moonlight was like water and silver, shining through the gaps in the leaves and onto the dragon's serene face. He was lying in a tree house, enjoying the gentle breeze that carried the fragrance of the leaves. The treehouse was built during his childhood with a group of children. Who would have thought that even after so many years, he would still be able to stand up. Although it was a bit damaged, it was still enough to accommodate a seventeen year old teenager. Once upon a time, this place had carried the joy and frolicking of the childhood of the little dragon. As he laid here, he felt that he had become much younger. He enjoyed this feeling very much.
Suddenly, Xiaolong felt a burst of rapid breathing. There was no one around him, where did this sound come from? Soon, he realized that the sound was coming from below, so he instinctively looked through the gap in the bookstore and looked down.
In the dim moonlight, he saw a man wearing a suit and a western hat. He was bent over with his left hand supporting the trunk as he panted heavily.
"Run!" Why did he stop running? Go get reinforcements! Don't you have a lot of bodyguards? Aren't you going to die in my hands today? " The speaker was a man in black with a pistol in his hand. He was approaching the man in a suit under the tree step by step.
The man in the suit slowly turned around and said in a hoarse voice: "I'm not lucky to have fallen at your hands today. If you want to kill me, then kill me. Why do you have to talk back?"
"Isn't it easy to die? However, I still admire you. Your defense line is extremely tight, and I have been planning for a full forty-nine days. I have also waited for forty-nine days to seize this opportunity tonight to force you onto a dead end. "
"Are you praising me, or are you praising yourself?" The suited man said with a wry smile.
"No, this is just a small episode before you die." "Now let's try to figure out the riddle. What's the connection between the rest of your life and my eyesight?"
The suited man did not answer. He did not know how to answer and even the nimble Li Xiaolong was confused by what he heard.
