chapter 1 Blind boy, Obsideus Skipper

Qingyun Continent, Beiliang City.

A little boy, only six or seven years old, huddled next to the stone lion at the back door of Skipper's Mansion.

In the ice and snow, the little boy was shivering in ill-fitting single clothes.

Strangely, his eyes were covered with black cloth.

The black cloth reveals a pair of sword-shaped eyebrows, a high nose, and thin lips.

The cheeks are slightly sunken due to weight loss, and the jaw is sharply angular.

Crunch~

The back door of Skipper's Mansion opened, but then there was a dull sound.

boom!

A stiff corpse was thrown out the back door.

The thin body fell to the ground, making a shallow pit in the snow.

Morthos Skipper, who was wearing a thick coat, hesitated for a moment, with a hint of unbearability in his eyes.

He threw down four copper coins and put the rest back into his sleeves.

The young man stood up quickly, shook the snow off his body, and said with a gentle smile.

"brother Morthos, did you throw out any leftovers in the house just now?"

As he spoke, the young man knelt down and touched his feet.

The smile on his face was still there, but he reached out and touched a corpse that was already cold to the bone!

Obsideus Skipper's hands froze in the air, and his body trembled slightly as his throat moved.

After a moment, the young man knelt on the ground and touched the girl's face with trembling hands.

The trembling hand touched the girl's chin and suddenly pulled it back as if she was electrocuted!

He felt a long scar, which was caused by his uncle hitting his sister after he was drunk and lost money two years ago.

"sister…"

A slightly sad murmur came from the young man's mouth.

The smile on the young man's face had long since disappeared, and two lines of tears burst out of his eyes uncontrollably.

Ignoring the heavy snow falling from the sky, the young man took off the only piece of tattered linen he had on him and wrapped it around the girl's body!

His skinny body was covered with hideous scars, and the bruises on his back were still there.

He stretched out his frostbitten hand and touched the girl's hair gently.

The young man lowered his head and murmured in a hoarse voice: "It's better to die, or live... and suffer."

Ignoring the biting ice and snow, the young man rummaged around on the ground and found four copper coins.

The young man suddenly felt a little sad.

Unexpectedly, my sister could not even retain her final dignity after her death!

Is it so easy to get dead money? !

A cold wind blew by, and Morthos Skipper couldn't help but tighten his cuffs, looking at the young man and couldn't help but say.

"Your sister's life is not good, so go back with this little money."

The young man pulled off the blindfold, revealing a pair of pale eyes.

He raised his head and looked around, slowly stretched out his right hand and whispered softly: "This servant died in vain, and the master will pay ten ounces!"

"This money... is my sister's last dignity, you shouldn't take it!"

Morthos Skipper folded his hands and sleeves, and the look of pity on his face immediately disappeared when he heard the other party asked for money.

He said with a cold face: "You stinking blind man, do you want these four pieces of love? Get away!"

Obsideus Skipper, who is only six years old, is thin and frail, but there is a fierce look on his face!

He quickly stepped onto the stairs of the Skipper's Mansion, grabbed the man's hand and shouted, "Give me what I deserve!"

Morthos Skipper frowned when he saw Obsideus Skipper's frostbitten hands grabbing at him.

A cold glint flashed in his eyes, and he grabbed the boy's hair with one hand and threw him down the stairs.

boom!

The thin body was hit hard into the snow. Under the heavy snow were bluestone slabs.

If you fall on it, you will be covered in black and blue, let alone a boy who is thrown half a foot away.

Morthos Skipper glanced at the young man who fell on the ground with a cold face, and said viciously: "Smelly blind man! Get out of here with the body!"

"If I didn't think you were pitiful, I wouldn't have given you the Si Guan!"

"Oh!"

Just when Morthos Skipper turned around and was about to go back, someone grabbed the corner of his clothes behind him.

Morthos Skipper turned around to look, and saw that the young man had arrived behind him without knowing when, holding tightly on the corners of his clothes with both hands.

“Give me the money!!”

"This is my sister's life money!"

Morthos Skipper was so scared that he was about to become violent when he lowered his head and saw those pale eyes!

Those eyes were clearly invisible, but he felt that the other person was looking at him.

A chill rose from the bottom of Morthos Skipper's heart, and he turned to look at the girl who was exhausted to death.

Morthos Skipper finally put down his raised fist and stuffed the remaining coins from his sleeve into the young man's hand.

"Give it to you, what a bad luck!"

Obsideus Skipper let go of his hand and numbly counted the coins in his hand.

boom!

The door of the mansion was closed, and a slightly childish voice came from inside.

"Morthos~ What! Why don't you hurry up and feed the birds to this young master?"

"Mr.Zephyros, I'll go right away, little one."

"What did you do just now?"

"..."

"Isn't it just that a maid died? It's such a big deal, let that blind man get away!"

Obsideus Skipper just stared blankly at the sky, holding the copper coins and sitting on the steps of the Skipper's Mansion for a long time.

He walked down the steps, picked up the stiff body with difficulty, and turned around to leave.

Squeak...squeak...

That was the sound of Obsideus Skipper's feet stepping on the snow, a little slowly, but walking firmly.

All this was seen by the old man in the restaurant ten feet away.

The old man was wearing gray clothes and a plain robe, with white beard and hair.

The bridge of the nose is high and the lips are slightly thin but not mean at all.

There was no trace of depression between his eyebrows, but his eyes were extremely clear.

There are some side dishes and a pot of warm wine on the table.

Looking at the young man groping along the wall, the hand holding the wine glass suddenly stopped in mid-air.

The old man looked at the young man with an undetectable light in his eyes, and murmured in a low voice: "I didn't expect that the embryo that I have been searching for for hundreds of years turned out to be a little blind man..."

"That's all, this may be God's will."

Then the old man stood up slowly and said in a gentle voice: "bartender, check out!"

The twelfth lunar month of winter is when the north wind blows.

To the young Obsideus Skipper, the gusts of cold wind were like sharp knives stabbing him.

They rested several times on the way until nightfall, when the young man placed the stiffened body at the door of a medical center.

The old man in gray clothes was also thin, but the wind and snow in the sky automatically moved out of the way when he passed by the old man.

"Everyone is dead, and three souls and seven souls have entered reincarnation. Why are they still coming to this medical center?"

Not long after, the young man had a few herbs in his hand, and he struggled to pick up the body and continue on his way.

Then he came to a small shop with a white silk hanging at the door.

Not long after, the young man came out with a jar in his hand.

There is a piece of paper taped to it.

' Eilidh Hard. '

He wrapped it up in the girl's pink clothes. From the beginning to the end, there was not much emotion on the boy's face.

On the way, the boy picked up two steamed buns that were already as big as bricks at the door of the bun shop.

At this time, there was actually a smile on the young man's face.

This made the old man who had been following him very puzzled as to why he had no emotional fluctuations over the death of the boy's sister.

He just insisted that the servants of the Zhao family had deducted the copper coins that should be compensated.

The boy holding the ashes showed no expression, but he laughed because he picked up two unasked buns.

The old man's curiosity was completely aroused and he continued to follow the young man.

Sudden!

The old man in the wind and snow paused and looked up at the sky.

He said softly with an indifferent expression: "Tsk, tsk, I just demolished a sect some time ago. Did the Protector of the Beiliang Kingdom come to visit in person?"

"Little Nascent Soul...it would be nice to meet him to save both parties trouble."

brush!

The old man took one step forward and traveled dozens of miles in an instant, appearing in a wild pavilion.

But the old man in brocade robes had already warmed wine and made tea, and seemed to have been waiting for a long time.

Seeing the old man appear, the Protector of the Northern Liang Kingdom quickly stood up and saluted, saying respectfully: "I've seen you, senior..."

In the south of Beiliang City, in a dilapidated courtyard, the door cannot even be closed.

The young man stood at the door and hesitated for a long time, and finally took a deep breath and pushed the door open and walked out of the house.

Zhiqua~

There was not even a light on in the dark room, the walls were bare, and even the window paper had many holes but no money to repair them.

A black shadow on the cold earthen bed moved slightly, and then a weak voice came slowly.

"Obsideus...is back?"

The woman's voice was very gentle, but extremely weak.

The person who spoke out was none other than Obsideus Skipper’s mother, Isla.

Isla stood up with a haggard face and sunken cheeks, but when she looked at the boy, her eyebrows were full of tenderness.

Isla looked around under the moonlight and asked softly: "Where is Eilidh?"

Obsideus Skipper, who was looking for a candle in the drawer, suddenly stiffened and lit the candle, reflecting the lonely earthen jar next to him.

He said in a dry voice: "sister Eilidh... is dead. The Skipper's Mansion has paid ten copper coins as compensation."

"I'll get all the money back, hide it, and treat my mother."

After saying that, the boy took out the steamed bun that had melted a little with body temperature from his arms and handed it to Isla.

Fumbling for herbs, he walked to the kitchen and said in a hoarse voice, "I'm going to make some medicine for my mother."

Isla gently took Obsideus Skipper's hand and placed the steamed bun in Obsideus Skipper's hand.

Holding back her tears, she said: "Mother...mother is not hungry, you can eat."

Dry hair obscured most of the woman's face, but Obsideus Skipper heard a few tears falling on the mat.

boom! !

The door was kicked open, and a biting cold wind suddenly entered the house. The young man's body trembled, whether it was the cold wind or fear.

The visitor was none other than Obsideus Skipper's distant uncle, Duskarr.

Duskarr is not tall, wearing a navy blue jacket, with protruding cheeks, triangular eyes, and a hooked nose.

The whole person looked fierce, and before he even entered the door, a sinister voice could be heard from afar.

"Damn it! Where's the money!!"
