Seeing that the Lord left, the crowd gathered at the entrance of the village also dispersed.

Before leaving, many people even gave Jiang Ren a grieving look, as if their daughter was not selected because he was talking nonsense.

Jiang Ren directly ignored this.

Every slave here is property in the arena. In order not to lose their own property, the punishment for private fights of slaves is usually very heavy, and few people dare to try out the specific weight.

Because even if you can survive the punishment, you will eventually be too serious and cannot become a gladiator because of your serious injury, and you will only be sold to become a mine slave.

"Xiao Yong."

Seeing that the people were almost dispersed, the stone ape said to Jiang Ren: "The day after tomorrow is your sixth birthday. You must redeem it in advance to prepare for the awakening. Just take advantage of the time today, I will go there first so that I won't forget it when I get it."

Jiang Ren nodded, no objection.

"Go early and come back early."

When Ding Qianqian saw him leaving in a carriage, she took Jiang Ren home.

"I'm finally going to become a phantom spirit master."

Even with Jiang Ren's mind and nature, he couldn't help but feel a little excited at this moment.

As for the potential deficiency and defects that ordinary awakening may cause, these are just small problems. As long as you can successfully get in touch with the extraordinary power of this world, you will gain something in your life this time.

Time passes by minute by minute.

At noon, Jiang Ren and Ding Qianqian, who had made a table of hearty dishes, sat at the dining table with a little uneasy expression.

It takes about ten minutes to go to the shop by carriage. Even if the round trip is delayed a little, the shop will never be able to drag for more than an hour.

But now three hours have passed, and no trace of the stone ape has been seen.

"Xiaoyong, you eat first. Your father must be too happy. He drank too much wine and poured himself on the side of the road. I'll get him back and clean up."

Ding Qianqian forced herself to smile and walked out of the door quickly.

With a few light sounds, eight illusory spider feet stretched out from her back, replaced the original function of her legs, and quickly climbed out of the yard when she landed on the ground.

Jiang Ren got off the stool.

When I arrived at the door, I looked at the road where Ding Qianqian had lost her figure.

Recalling the appearance and tone of the stone ape when he left, what he said would never be false, nor would he suddenly change his thoughts.

"Is there something unexpected?"

Jiang Ren shook his head and walked back into the house.

The only thing he can do now is stay at home quietly so as not to cause any trouble.

After the scorching sun at noon, the light gradually faded and a red glow was dyed in the sky.

Then.

As night fell, almost all small villages fell into darkness.

There is only one room where an oil lamp is still lit at the entrance of the courtyard.

It was Jiang Ren who was carrying the oil lamp.

He looked at the road that was faintly visible under the moonlight, and his expression was no longer as relaxed as in the morning.

"I haven't come back yet."

Jiang Ren murmured in a low voice.

Now that things have come to this point, maybe the worst is to be planned.

The stone ape has not returned for a long time. I am afraid it is not because of something delayed, nor because of drinking and falling drunk on the roadside, but because of a serious accident that cannot come back.

And Ding Qianqian, is she also...

Just as Jiang Ren was thinking, he heard a faint and slow sound of footsteps coming towards him.

Suddenly.

He held the oil lamp in front of him.

I saw a lost figure appearing in my sight. It was Ding Qianqian who went out to find someone at noon. She stumbled on the road, without a trace of light in her eyes, and she felt as if she had lost her soul.

Jiang Ren knew that the worst result had happened.

"Mother, let's go home."

He took a deep breath, walked forward, and supported one of her hands.

"Home?"

Ding Qianqian's eyes regained a hint of expression, and then she smiled madly: "Where is he dead, where is his home? If he dies, he will have no home..."

Jiang Ren didn't reply.

Only by using the strength to feed her successfully pulled her into the house and into the bedroom.

Then.

Ding Qianqian kept spitting out words like "dead", "home is gone", "don't want to live anymore". It took her two hours to finally go to bed.

Jiang Ren pulled up the quilt and covered her, and then left the room.

Looking at the dark house, I felt that I could no longer find the atmosphere of the past.

"From her words, after getting off the carriage, the stone ape got off the carriage, and was stimulated by someone, he did not go to the store, but walked directly into the arena next to him, and used the designated authority once a year to launch a fight against the man. The designated person chose the death fight that must be played by the gladiator himself, and then the stone ape lost..."

The death fight lost, there is only one ending.

Jiang Ren could not understand this information at all.

Why did I promised myself yesterday that I would never see any abnormal stone ape today, suddenly change my mind and use dangerous designated permissions?

Even if his personality is a bit reckless, he will never be provoked to lose his mind.

From the inside out, this incident exudes an abnormal atmosphere, and just writes the word conspiracy on it.

But from Ding Qianqian's words.

Jiang Ren didn't get much useful information, so he could only wait until she woke up tomorrow morning before talking about it.

“Ha~”

Jiang Ren was so angry that his small body was so sleepy that he was so sleepy that he had to hold on.

In order to avoid problems with Ding Qianqian, he did not close the door, but lay directly on the bed, closed his eyes and fell asleep.

In the dark, a cold feeling aroused him.

Jiang Ren opened his eyes and saw a black shadow standing by the bed. He subconsciously wanted to call for help and was about to take out the self-defense weapon for the storage space, but found that the black shadow was not someone else, but Ding Qianqian.

"Mother, you are hungry, I'll go and help you with food."

Jiang Ren said, and prepared to get up.

But the next moment, he was pressed back to the bed by Ding Qianqian.

Through the hazy moonlight pouring into the window, Jiang Ren found that her eyes were red, tears kept flowing out, and she was completely haggard.

"sorry."

Ding Qianqian looked at Jiang Ren with apologetic expression on her face.

Jiang Ren suddenly felt something was wrong. Just as he was about to break free from her hand, he saw a piece of black cloth covering his mouth and nose.

Although he quickly held his breath, a trace of gas was still sinking into his nose from the black cloth, and he suddenly felt dizzy.

I soon lost consciousness and knew nothing.

Wait for him to wake up again.

Outside the window is already a dusk scene.

"Why?"

Jiang Ren covered his still drowsy head and sat up from the bed, not understanding why Ding Qianqian did this.

As he got up, an envelope slid off his body and fell under the bed.

Jiang Ren frowned slightly, shook his head, forced himself to cheer up, then got out of bed and picked up the envelope.

The middle of the envelope clearly read "To Xiaoyong".

There is also a signature in the lower right corner: an irresponsible mother.

Jiang Ren opened the envelope silently.

Take out the stacked paper inside and spread the paper out.

There are many words about this world written on it, and many of them have some of the ink traces that are scattered. It is obvious that tears keep falling during the writing process.

[Xiaoyong, when you saw this letter, your mother had already left and followed in the footsteps of your father.]

[Sorry, I am a very irresponsible mother.]

[I dare not ask for your forgiveness, and I am not qualified to be forgiven. I am not worthy of being your mother.]
