Gu Tower has a special resting house. During the day, these children will be driven outside the house to fight. At night, the house will be opened and killing is prohibited inside. They can go in to recuperate and prepare for the next day's battle.

Once night falls, ferocious beasts will be released, and they will roam around the manor, purring and eating all the corpses left during the day.

"Your strength is not outstanding. When there are fewer and fewer living people and they become stronger and stronger, it will be difficult for you to cope. Therefore, we need to cooperate and help each other." He said.

"How to cooperate?"

"I will help you establish your authority." He said, "We will perform a play in front of the public, and you will 'kill' me in the simplest and most relaxed way. This will definitely scare away a large number of people, at least for now, no one will

If I dare to deal with you, you can seize the time to improve your strength."

"That's it?" the guy questioned.

He added: "When I become a 'dead man', I can hide in the dark and help you fight against the enemy, dig traps, and carry out sneak attacks. I can do it all."

"But, in that case, you can't go back to the house to rest, because you are a 'dead person' and your 'body' will be eaten by wild beasts."

He said: "So, I need you to bring me food and water from the house, and also cover for me during the day, so that they don't let them find out that I am still alive. I will help you, and you will also help me. At least hold on for a while."

After this period of time.”

"There will be ferocious beasts at night." The little brother said.

He smiled bitterly, "So I'm gambling with my life. I'm the one who suffers, and you're the one who takes advantage. How about that?"

"make a deal!"

There are no lights in the Gu Tower at night, and when dark clouds cover the moon, you can't see your fingers. The sounds of wild beasts may be far or near. Sometimes, if you don't pay attention, they will be within a few feet.

He thought he had already adapted to the darkness, but during that time in Gu Tower, he was particularly afraid of the dark and prayed for the bright moonlight every day.

That night, he fell asleep on a tree and was suddenly awakened by a "hissing" sound in his ears. He turned around and saw that a large python had climbed up beside him.

He was so shocked that he accidentally fell from the tree and fell onto a dead branch on the ground.

This movement was caught by a tiger, which quickly ran towards him and pounced on him. He rolled on the ground several times, got up and ran as fast as he could. As he was running wildly, he bumped into a bad wolf in front of him.

There was a wolf in front of me and a tiger behind me. Fortunately, there was a big tree next to me.

He climbed up the tree like crazy, the tiger's claws fluttering below him, almost catching his calf.

When he climbed to the middle of the trunk, the tiger began to slap the trunk, trying to shake him down. He spread his fingers and clawed at the bark of the tree, and his nails were broken and blood spilled out.

When I was shocked and in pain, a person suddenly hung down from my side.

Hanging upside down with his head down, his two dark eyes stared at him like a ghost.

"Ah!" He trembled in fright, his hand relaxed, and he immediately fell from the tree.

Fortunately, he did not fall into the tiger's sharp claws, but hit the tiger's head without any bias. The tiger let out a "oooo" howl, and became so despondent that he could see stars in his eyes and couldn't stop for a moment.

Come.

The man who was hanging like a bat on the branch saw this and let out an impatient "tsk". His body was like a fallen leaf, spinning lightly, turning over and jumping down from the branch.

He covered his nearly broken waist, held back his moans, and looked up at the man. He saw that the man was dressed in black, and the lower half of his face was covered with a black mask, with only a pair of eyes exposed. He almost wanted to blend in with the dark night.

One body.

The masked man knelt down, took the tiger's big head with both hands, looked around, and said, "Hey, can you do it? If you die, I will be deducted from the money!"

It was a girl's voice, very young.

The tiger let out a low growl, shook its head, cheered up, and rubbed against the masked man aggrievedly, "Woooo..."

The masked man pushed the big head away and said disgustedly: "As long as he's not dead, stay away from me, it stinks."

The big tiger stood beside her obediently.

He couldn't help but ask, "Who are you? Why does it listen to you?"

"This has nothing to do with you." The masked man glanced at him coldly, "Why are you outside? Are you blocked outside?"

"Also?" He caught the word.

The masked man said: "Many people have done this in the past, blocking people outside the house and letting wild beasts deal with their opponents for them."

He shook his head and said slowly: "I'm not. I decided to stay outside on my own."

The masked man looked him up and down and commented in four words, "He is a little kid but a big kid."

Seeing that she was about to leave, he plucked up the courage and followed her step by step. He tried his best to put on an innocent smile and said to please: "Sister, you are so beautiful...Sister's eyes are so beautiful..."

The masked man glanced sideways at him, put his hands behind his back, and said, "Are you trying to fawn over me?"

"Uh," he paused awkwardly, then nodded again, "Yeah."

"It's useless to flatter me. I'm only responsible for taking care of this Gu Tower. I have no right to interfere in the life and death of you people." The masked man looked forward and said coldly.

"I don't want to trouble my sister to interfere, I just want you to give me a chance and let me have the honor of following you." He said, took out a few silver coins from his arms and handed them to the masked man. The tiger listened to this man's words.

, I think other ferocious beasts are no exception. As long as I can follow her, I won't be afraid of being eaten by ferocious beasts at night.

The masked man looked at the silver in his hand, his eyes looking very mocking.

Knowing that the other party did not look down on such a small amount of money, he tried his best to flatter him: "A person like my sister must not look down on such a small thing. I am just expressing my feelings... Sister, you are so beautiful, although

My face is covered, but at first glance I can see that she is a great beauty. She is beautiful and must have a kind heart, so I will give you a convenience! From now on, I will serve you, serve you, and respect you..."

The masked man didn't bother to look at his smiling face and just walked forward without paying any attention to him.

Seeing that the other party did not drive him away, he struck while the iron was hot and then got close to him, "Sister, to be honest, I had a sister at home who was about the same age as you. She was very kind to me. The money she gave me secretly before I left home.

Stuffed into me.

"Look, if I die here and get eaten by a tiger or a wolf, I will never see her again. She will definitely be very sad... The first time I saw you, I felt particularly cordial.

, I think you must be like my sister, a kind-hearted and good person..."

He thought about it for a long time, and the masked man finally responded, "I also happen to have a younger brother, who is a few years older than you. He is very rebellious and quarrels with me all day long. If he was as sweet-tongued as you,

I can also add a little less congestion..."

"Since we are siblings, he must also care about you very much. He is just a tough talker. Sister, don't be sad." He said, "Sister, if you can make it easier for me, we will be siblings from now on. I will change my tricks every day.

I want to make you happy, do you think so?"

The masked man turned his face, looked at him calmly, and said regretfully: "You little thing, you shouldn't be in a place like this."

"Now that we've come, let's meet a sister before we leave!" He smiled with crooked eyebrows. He knew that no one would like a guy with a sad face. Only by smiling sweetly and speaking sweetly can you get money from others.

some benefits.

Later, it was this mysterious masked man who protected him through long nights filled with dangers. The masked man didn't like to talk, and most of the time he just treated him like air, but she never drove him away.

.

But one day, the masked man no longer appeared. He risked being chased by ferocious beasts, and after searching for a long time, he discovered that the building guard had been replaced by a stranger.

He did not deal with the new building guard because he could feel that the other person would not accept his request. This was an intuition he had developed since he was a child.

Later, after many twists and turns, he survived in Gu Tower. The "family members" who had sent him to this killing place appeared again and fulfilled their promise to take him home and let him inherit the most wealth in the world.

However, he no longer wants to go, because it is not the home he wants at all, and he does not want to take the wealth that requires staining his hands with blood.

He got rid of those people and fled back to the Ye family. He wanted to see Miss San again and see how she was doing during this period. Before leaving, he heard that her wedding was approaching and she might have been married by now...

When he returned to the Ye family, he learned that the Ye family had been exterminated, and the third lady also died in that massacre.

Who would have thought that a family that was originally prosperous and prosperous would turn into ashes overnight, and no one could even know who the murderer was.

At that time, he saw the impermanence of life, and always felt that he would die suddenly, maybe tomorrow, or maybe in the next moment.

So, he wandered around the streets and alleys, among the mountains and rivers. When he was tired, he would lie down on the spot. When he was hungry, he would find something to eat. When he was bored, he would go to the river to play in the water, and go to the mountains to watch the clouds...

It doesn't matter if he dies of hunger and cold, or of a serious illness without any medicine, at least he doesn't die in the hands of others, or in the stench of blood, and it's still clean. He thought so as a young man.

Until that rainy night, I met Zhou Xiaodu who was full of coldness——

The long memories went through Sheng Yuqing's mind quickly. When he came to his senses, the young man on the ring had completely lost his strength and fell from the guardrail.

He didn't have the luck to knock the tiger unconscious like he did in the past. Instead, he fell heavily to the stage, twitching in pain, and was so limp that he couldn't get up at all.

The onlookers cheered and roared loudly, encouraging the big tiger to eat the trash.

The hungry tiger roared happily and excitedly, rushed forward, pinned the skinny young man down with its claws, opened its big mouth, and tried to bite the prey's throat with its sharp teeth dripping with saliva.

Sheng Yuqing's breath was stagnant, but he seemed unable to do anything across the guardrail.

His palm unconsciously grasped the long sword at his waist. Feeling the coldness on it, he suddenly reacted and pulled the long sword out of its scabbard.

The familiar voice sounded in his ears again, and he felt unprecedented clarity and certainty, "You can't have the slightest hope. What you have to do is, there is no need to hope.

"If you think this arrow may miss, then it will probably miss because it is unreliable. Only when you shoot the arrow, if you are extremely confident in your heart, will you be able to control the target.

"This arrow hasn't been tamed by you yet. You just need to be more fierce and domineering to tame it... It's taming, not negotiating with it and begging it to give you face. Do you understand what I mean?"

At this moment, he suddenly understood what Zhou Xiaodu meant at that time.
