Reborn, being taken care of by the enemy Empress blocking the resurrection point

After finally driving away Kirigakure, Luo Baiyue did not choose to pursue him in the first place.

Kirigakure is cunning by nature, and if he pursues someone unprepared like this, he is likely to fall into his trap.

What's more, the person she carefully protected was lying on the bed now?

Luo Baiyue kicked off her shoes and lay on the bed. Gao Yunjing slept uncomfortably.

Her eyebrows were furrowed, as if she was experiencing something she didn't want to experience. Luo Baiyue stretched out her white and tender jade fingers to smooth out the wrinkles between Gao Yunjing's eyebrows.

But Gao Yunjing seemed to be at odds with her. As soon as she smoothed out the wrinkles, Gao Yunjing immediately frowned.

After repeating the cycle twice, Luo Baiyue discovered something was wrong. Logically speaking, Gao Yunjing was just asleep. It was impossible for Gao Yunjing to continue sleeping after she made such a small move.

But the current situation is that Gao Yunjing shows no sign of waking up.

Luo Baiyue sighed softly. In this situation, it was obvious that Gao Yunjing had fallen into the illusion that Kirigakure had woven for him.

Whether you can wake up in this situation depends entirely on yourself, and Luo Baiyue has no way to intervene.

She could only gently put Gao Yunjing's head on her lap, and gently comfort Gao Yunjing who fell into a dream.

……

Gao Yunjing struggled to open his eyes, and dim yellow light fell.

Gao Yunjing struggled to stand up, trying hard to see his surroundings clearly.

There were seven or eight children crowded on a small sofa, and the ground was littered with bodies. His brows frowned instinctively.

Looking around, this is a small commercial room. There are indeed more than a dozen children squeezed into a small room.

"Did Yunjing wake up from hunger again?"

A young and tender voice came from behind, and Gao Yunjing turned to look at the young man lying on the sofa with a strange look on his face.

This child is the oldest among all the children. He looks to be fifteen or sixteen years old.

He looks ordinary, skinny and messy, and his hair is messy.

The eyes that should normally be full of light for a child of this age are as dull as worn glass beads.

It was this face with no distinguishing features that made Gao Yunjing feel like he was struck by lightning.

He asked tremblingly: "Brother Yang?"

Brother Yang did not respond to him, but rummaged around behind him mysteriously, and finally let the boy turn over a dry and hard bun.

Brother Yang's gloomy eyes flashed with excitement, and finally he handed the steamed bun over with a pained expression, "Eat it, you still have work to do tomorrow, don't go hungry."

Gao Yunjing looked at the thin young man in front of him with disbelief, and finally stumbled to the bathroom.

Finally, Gao Yunjing saw himself clearly in the mirror on the sink.

A short and thin man with pale skin and malnourished yellow hair.

Those deep and beautiful eyes were like a dry pool of water.

Is this yourself?

Gao Yunjing stuck his head out tremblingly. Nothing in the living room had changed. More than a dozen children no more than 12 years old were lying there.

Gao Yunjing rarely felt depressed and could remain calm and calm most of the time. The only time he saw the young man in the mirror was that he panicked.

This was the time after his parents died in the war, the post-war pension did not reach him, and his home was occupied by these homeless people like him.

It can be said that if Brother Yang hadn't protected him, he might have been kicked out of his home.

But how could he come back here?

Could it be an illusion?

right! It must be an illusion!

What Kirigakure is best at is the illusion created by the red mist.

Gao Yunjing raised his fist and smashed it hard on his face. There was a muffled sound of physical collision and he fell to the ground.

The strong tingling sensation and the fishy-sweet taste in his mouth seemed to mock the illusion he believed to be.

"Yunjing, what are you doing?" Brother Yang hurried over and saw Gao Yunjing falling to the ground as soon as he opened the door.

A stream of sour tears instantly welled up in his eyes. Brother Yang squatted on the ground and hugged Gao Yunjing tightly.

Brother Yang's trembling voice was tainted with a hint of prayer:

"I know life is hard, but we must live and not die, okay?"

"What's the use of dying now? If you die now, wouldn't it be like those corrupt officials' ideas?"

"Yunjing, you are the smartest among us. Think about those people who died? Can you survive?"

Gao Yunjing suddenly remembered that there were many people who came out to make a living together, but because they were child laborers, the bosses who hired child laborers took advantage of their power to bully others, and their daily wages were very small.

It is only about 1/5 of the daily salary of a normal adult.

In addition, when a group of children were together, the wages earned by one person would inevitably be taken away by others, which led to the initial death of someone every day.

People continue to die, and people continue to die, until the number accumulates to a certain level, relief appears.

Brother Yang has been taking care of him, otherwise he would have died long ago.

Brother Yang is a warm-hearted person. He doesn't want so many people to die, but that's all he can do, so he can only save Gao Yunjing, the youngest among them.

Gao Yunjing pushed away Brother Yang who was hugging him tightly. His eyes, which were like dry pond water, finally regained some of their energy.

The yellowed and dirty floor was cold to the touch, and the room that had long since lost its heating was also exuding a slight chill. The reality of it all made him feel dazed.

Could it be that everything I experienced before was just a long dream?

No, not right!

If it was just a dream, why was it so clear, and why was the memory of himself and Luo Baiyue so deep into his bones?

"Cloudscape?"

Brother Yang's slight call finally brought Gao Yunjing back to his senses.

"How do you feel now?"

Gao Yunjing struggled to force out an ugly smile, "It's okay, Brother Yang."

……

As the days passed, Gao Yunjing seemed to have really returned to his once miserable life.

They continue to work as child labor, doing the same workload as adults or even much higher than adults, and finally earn a meager salary to maintain their lives.

Filling his stomach is a luxury for him now.

If it weren't for Brother Yang who often helped him, Gao Yunjing even suspected that he would die here.

This kind of ant life, living at the bottom of society like low dust, is difficult for the doomsday judge who once stood at the top of the world to adapt.

The short autumn has passed and the long winter has arrived.

The house became extremely cold due to the lack of heating, and all the children were huddled together and shivering.

As winter approaches, there are fewer customers, and few people choose to hire child laborers. After all, child laborers are physically weak and will most likely die when the cold wind blows.

The children here have not found a job for many days. The meager salary is barely enough to sustain their lives. Naturally, there is no money saved.

Gao Yunjing never thought that he would experience this kind of life one day.

At this moment, Brother Yang took his wrist and left, while the others didn't even bother to raise their heads.

All the way to the innermost room, which is also the coldest place in the room, no one will come at all.

Brother Yang tremblingly took out a dry and hard cold steamed bun from his arms. This time he didn't take any note, or even looked at it, and directly stuffed the steamed bun to Gao Yunjing.

"Eat."

"Brother Yang..." Gao Yunjing was silent. He didn't know what to say. It is true that if he didn't have this steamed bun, he would probably die.

But what about eating?

It's just that he died later, it makes no difference.

Brother Yang chose to remain silent and wrapped himself in the clothes he was already wearing that were one size too small.

"There must always be some hope in life."

Gao Yunjing was inexplicably touched by this sentence. Is there always some hope in life?

The cool moonlight shone through the window.

Gao Yunjing's eyes suddenly became bright, and he walked over in a few steps and stuffed the bun back into Brother Yang's hand.

Then he smiled under Brother Yang's shocked eyes, "Although these days have been hard, I finally got to see you."

Gao Yunjing smiled and waved, and Brother Yang in front of him also showed an indifferent smile.

The room began to become empty, and then the children hugging each other for warmth in the living room, the furniture, and the floor all disappeared like flying dust.

Until the last brother Yang in front of me.
