Chapter 2 Memory
Since Xie Xiaobai can remember, he has been touched by his mother only a handful of times.
His mother always looked at him with extremely disgusted eyes, as if he was some disgusting and dirty thing, and she wanted to kill him quickly. Not only did she not treat him with any tenderness, she would also take it out on him from time to time - until she accidentally discovered that his wounds were healed.
The speed was surprisingly fast.
That day, for the first time, his mother waved to him gently and asked Xie Xiaobai to come to her side.
Xie Xiaobai thought that his mother finally started to like him, so he happily ran to her side, but what awaited him was a merciless knife.
He struggled, cried, and begged under his mother's hands, but he did not receive any mercy from her.
He opened his eyes wide and stared blankly at his mother's greedy appearance after drinking his own blood. He would never forget that kind of fear.
But when his mother waved to him gently again, he would still walk towards her again and again.
Because that was the only way for him to get some warmth from his mother.
Xie Xiaobai knew that his blood could heal injuries. Now that his mother was suddenly so gentle to him, she probably wanted his blood to heal his injuries.
Xie Xiaobai was not surprised at all, he only felt numb.
The gentle caress on the top of his head seemed to turn into an urging signal. He suppressed the soreness in his eyes, stepped closer to Xie Wanyou, then bit hard on his front paw, and handed the bleeding paw to Xie Wanyou's lips.
Xie Wanyou didn't realize what happened. She only felt the little thing suddenly approach her and put its paw on her mouth. She was a little confused and didn't know what the little thing meant.
Could it be that he wanted her to kiss its paws?
This... you can have it!
But before Xie Wanyou took action, a smell of blood suddenly passed through the tip of her nose, and then, some warm liquid dripped on her lips.
This is...blood??
A fishy and sweet taste filled the air in his mouth. Xie Wanyou felt cold and quickly grabbed its claws. Not daring to use too much force, he touched it and felt the warm blood on his hand: "You...this
What are you doing!"
The little thing said in a muffled voice: "Mom, drink it quickly. When the wound heals, it won't bleed anymore..." When the wound heals, he needs to bite his paw again, which is very painful.
Xie Wanyou was speechless for a moment. All he could think about was that the original owner was a vampire. Why did he still have the habit of drinking children's blood?
[The blood of the little villain has the effect of healing wounds, so... you know the host, right?]
In the flash of lightning, Xie Wanyou suddenly recalled a plot.
Xie Wanyou's cultivation level plummeted due to a serious injury.
After discovering that the little thing's blood actually has healing properties, and hoping to restore her cultivation, can she resist the temptation to drink the little thing's blood?
Obviously, it's impossible.
The little thing is now able to feed her blood so skillfully, it is not difficult to see how the old Xie Wanyou treated it.
Xie Wanyou endured it again and again, but couldn't help but cursed: "She's not a human, she's a real dog!"
No wonder this little thing will turn black in the future. Even his close relatives treat him like this and treat him like nothing. How can he have a normal outlook on life?
The claw was still bleeding. Xie Wanyou couldn't explain how he felt, so he quickly pressed around the wound to stop the bleeding.
In the increasingly dark room, only the two dots of green light reflected from the little thing's eyes flickered slightly in the darkness.
There was a hint of uneasiness in its voice: "Mother?"
Xie Wanyou sighed, used a little strength to hold it to his chest, and said softly: "There is no need to feed mother blood in the future."
Xie Xiaobai didn't know what Xie Wanyou wanted to do, so he squatted on her chest with his paws uneasily, not daring to move, and asked in a nagging tone: "Why, why? Doesn't mother need Xiaobai's blood?"
"Yes, no need." Xie Wanyou touched its head. It turned out that its name was Xiaobai. Why did it see a gray dumpling before?
Xie Wanyou said after careful consideration: "I...Mother already knows that this is wrong, and I will never do this again in the future."
Although Xie Xiaobai had firmly told himself that his mother must be lying to him again, and that his mother would never change, he could not help but feel sore in his eyes, and his childish voice also had a nasal sound: "Mother said...
Is it true? But, why did it suddenly change?"
After being treated roughly for so long, Xie Xiaobai no longer believed in his unstable mother.
There must be more horrific torture waiting for him behind!
My mother will not change suddenly, she must be trying to trick him into doing something more terrible!
Realizing that the little thing suddenly began to tremble violently, Xie Wanyou was startled and quickly touched his head: "People can change. There is a saying that you should correct your mistakes when you know they are wrong. I know now that it is wrong to hit a novice. Drink."
Xiaobai’s blood is also wrong, I will change it in the future, okay?”
Xie Xiaobai shook his head desperately, and hot tears fell on the back of Xie Wanyou's hand.
Xie Xiaobai didn't know if the mothers of other children would treat their children in this way. In the past, he had false expectations for Xie Wanyou, and would lie down next to her carefully, hoping that she would touch his head, but in the end he welcomed him
There were only disgusting rejections and abusive words.
Over time, Xie Xiaobai came to understand that his mother would not love him.
He is a little bastard who was born unworthy of love.
Then he doesn't love his mother anymore.
He would never believe what his mother said again.
Xie Xiaobai sobbed and broke away from the hand stroking his head, choking and saying harshly: "You lied to me! I will never believe you again!"
Fake, all fake!
Stop deceiving him with false warmth!
The grievances and anger that had been accumulated for a long time suddenly broke out. Xie Xiaobai became furious, turned his head, and bit Xie Wanyou for the first time, and then quickly jumped from Xie Wanyou's chest into the darkness.
Xie Wanyou hissed softly and called the little thing into the silent darkness: "Xiaobai? Xiaobai!"
Xie Xiaobai didn't respond to her. He curled up in the corner, sniffed quietly, put his chin feebly on his front paws, and silently shed tears on the ground.
If he bit his mother, he will definitely be beaten to death by her tomorrow...
It's so tiring. If all the pain ends like this...it seems good.
Fatigue suddenly came over him, and Xie Xiaobai's consciousness gradually blurred, and he gradually fell asleep while crying.
Xie Xiaobai, who had fallen asleep, didn't know that Xie Wanyou struggled to get up in the middle of the night, groping inch by inch in the dark room, and finally found it curled up in the corner, and gently held it in his arms.
Xie Wanyou didn't care about being bitten by the little thing. Who made her dress up as its vicious mother? Its mother used to be indifferent to human affairs. Let alone one bite, Xie Wanyou wouldn't think it was too much to bite a hundred bites.
Xie Wanyou felt that Xiaobai should vent to her like this. Although it couldn't equal the suffering it had suffered before, it would feel better at least.
Children who seem sensible and well-behaved are actually forced to bury their bitterness and grievances deep in their hearts. Only by breaking that well-behaved shell can we touch the real Xiaobai.
Xie Wanyou hugged the little thing and lay down on the haystack again. In the darkness, she couldn't see clearly Xiaobai's appearance, so she could only touch along the outline of its body.
So thin, so small.
You can feel the bones when you touch them.
Xie Wanyou frowned, unable to explain what he felt in his heart.
She really didn't like human babies, but she couldn't turn a blind eye to abused children like Xiaobai.
Not to mention that the little thing is very sensible and very annoying.
Xie Wanyou originally accepted the task of the system with a bad attitude, but now...she really wants to make the little thing's life better.
The cold wind penetrated into this dark room through various cracks. Xie Wanyou hugged Xiaobai a little tighter and stared at the faint moonlight blocked by wooden bars outside the window. For a moment, he seemed to have returned to the confinement of the orphanage.
room.
Different from the loneliness then, now she has Xiaobai in her arms.
Xie Wanyou stopped thinking about it, stroked Xiaobai's tail hair, and closed his eyes.
The next day, Xie Wanyou was awakened by the movement in his arms.
She was half asleep and thought she was at home. Suddenly she found something alive in her arms and woke up suddenly.
As soon as she opened her eyes, she met the gray creature who was also frightened.
Xie Wanyou exclaimed: "I am interesting!"
Xie Xiaobai took off on the spot: "Woo!!"
Each player was caught off guard and the opponent was shocked by the ball.
When the little thing ejected and landed in the distance, Xie Wanyou realized that it was the villain cub she had adopted from another world.
She breathed a sigh of relief and began to observe the villain cub.
This little thing is indeed a fluffy thing, but it is only as big as a palm. It has a long, thin tail, with several pieces of hair missing on the tail. The hair is rough and dull, and it looks like it is malnourished.
It was dirty all over, and its hair was a dirty gray and white color. Because it was not combed in time, the hair became strands, and many of them were even tangled into balls.
Xie Wanyou didn't recognize what kind of creature it was. It looked a bit like a cat, but it had a pair of dark red round little horns on its head, and a pair of small gray-white wings as long as fingers on its back.
All in all, it is beyond the scope of Xie Wanyou's knowledge.
Xie Wanyou asked the system: What kind of creature is this?
The system responded to her mysteriously: [It involves hidden content, it is up to the host to discover it~]
Xie Wanyou: Is this something that can’t be said? But you told me directly last night that Xiaobai’s blood has therapeutic effects?
[Even if this system doesn’t say anything about this kind of thing, you can quickly find out from the villain. It’s not a secret]
Xie Wanyou: Okay...
After questioning the system to no avail, Xie Wanyou simply gave up guessing what species Xiaobai and Xiaobai's father were.
Xie Wanyou tried to sit up and found that her body was not so painful anymore. It must be that the blood Xiaobai fed her yesterday had an effect.
She tentatively said to Xiaobai: "Xiaobai, you——"
Before she finished speaking, the little gray ball stared at her with wide gray-blue eyes and quickly turned its back to the wall, leaving her with a bulging back and a hairless tail.
It was obvious that he didn't want to talk to her.
Xie Wanyou sighed. The original owner had too many criminal records. Xiaobai didn't believe that she was normal. Anyone who had been severely bullied by others for a long time would not believe that that person would change easily.
She stood up, came behind the little thing, squatted down on her knees, and asked funnyly: "Are you really ignoring me?"
Xie Xiaobai still didn't turn around, but the tips of his ears trembled and he snorted stubbornly.
But in fact, his heart is not as tough as he appears on the surface.
It is impossible to say that he is not afraid. He bit her hand last night. As usual, Xie Wanyou would have beaten her half to death.
But when he woke up today, he found himself sleeping in Xie Wanyou's arms.
Not only did his mother not beat him, she also let him sleep in her arms... Such a thing had never happened before.
For a moment, Xie Xiaobai really felt that her mother had changed.
But how is it possible?
His little mind was a little confused and he couldn't figure out what Xie Wanyou wanted to do, so he boldly tried to ignore her for the first time, just to test her and see if she would be angry.
She still wasn't angry.
Xie Xiaobai didn't care on the surface, but in fact he pricked up his ears and listened carefully to the movement behind him, nervously and curiously waiting for Xie Wanyou's next move.
He didn't even know it, but he had unknowingly had a secret expectation for Xie Wanyou.
Xie Xiaobai didn't wait for Xie Wanyou's next words, and just as he couldn't help but want to turn his head, his body suddenly felt light and he was picked up by a pair of hands.
Xie Xiaobai was so shocked that he exploded again: "!!!"
He subconsciously wanted to jump down, but Xie Wanyou closed his hands and held him in his palms: "Don't move, let me see how your legs are doing."
Xie Xiaobai was very sensitive to this kind of commanding statement, and immediately froze and did not dare to move anymore, letting Xie Wanyou pinch his short paw and look around.
Xie Wanyou looked at it and couldn't help but poke its paw pads: "It's Pink Claw!"
Xie Xiaobai felt an itch on his paw pads, and subconsciously shrank his front paws, feeling a little embarrassed.
He retracted his front paws, and the tip of his ear was pinched again. It was a light pinch without any malice, so gentle that it made Xie Xiaobai feel dazed.
Xie Xiaobai shook the tips of his ears unnaturally, feeling so strange.
Xie Wanyou raised and lowered his hands, poked its fleshy gray wings, and asked it: "Xiao Bai, can you fly with your wings?"
Xie Xiaobai shook his head and remained silent.
Xie Wanyou smoothed its hair: "Are you still angry? How can Xiaobai forgive his mother?"
Forgive? Will my mother still need his forgiveness?
Xie Xiaobai swallowed his saliva and cautiously said, "I'm... a little hungry." Even if you're going to die, you should be a starved person.
He hasn't eaten enough for a long time.
Xie Wanyou immediately asked the system: "Does the original owner still have money? What does she usually feed her children?"
[There are ten copper coins, in the crack in the wall over there... Oops, this system forgot to pass the memory of the original owner to you]
Xie Wanyou was speechless for a while, finally realizing how unreliable his system was.
A memory quickly flooded into Xie Wanyou's mind.
