Originated from mountains and seas, life never ends

The Qi around him was cold and dark, making Qin Xiao feel chilly all over, even to the point of numbness in his bones.

Qin Xiao's breathing could not help but become slightly rapid, and the black suffocating feeling made him breathless. He could feel a white Qi guiding him, but as soon as the white Qi approached, it was swallowed by the black Qi.

This black qi is like a greedy evil ghost that accepts everything that comes.

I don't know what the black robe man did, the white qi suddenly increased, making it impossible for the black qi to swallow it all at once, so it could only chase the white qi. The white qi led it to the outside of the skin, and the black qi drilled into the skin and instantly merged into the blood.

Qin Xiao's whole body was cold, and the piercing chill was wandering around in his body without any restraint, as if he was inspecting his new residence.

Qin Xiao frowned, took a deep breath, and skillfully regulated the black energy using the previous method.

Seeing that he could handle it by himself, the man in black robe let go of his hand. Suddenly, he felt something was wrong and looked up at the sky. He saw that the originally cloudless sky was now covered with dark clouds, and dull thunder flashed from time to time in the clouds.

...something seems wrong.

Qin Xiao also looked up at the sky, saw lightning flashing and heard loud thunder in his ears, and an ominous premonition rose in his heart.

I don't think I swore...

Qin Xiao thought back to the recent period and was sure that this was not because he had sworn a vicious oath that would "be punished by thunder and lightning".

But it looked like the lightning was coming right at me!!

Qin Xiao's eyes turned pale and he instinctively grabbed the crystal ball and ran away.

A white light flashed, and a black pit appeared in front of him.

He hasn't offended Thor, has he?

Qin Xiao thought again, and thunder fell again.

This time the blow hit his arm, leaving it charred and numb, almost numb, and leaving a conspicuous scar.

If I'm not mistaken, there is one more.

Just as Qin Xiao had this thought, a bolt of lightning suddenly struck. This bolt of lightning was obviously more powerful than the previous two.

Everything around him seemed to slow down, and the jade on his chest suddenly emitted an invisible membrane that enveloped his entire body. The thunder struck his body and he could only feel a cool sensation.

Although when he came to his senses, he found himself lying in a pit created by thunder.

Qin Xiao moved his fingers and used his vital energy to check his entire body. He found that he had only suffered some superficial injuries and no injuries to his bones or muscles. The black color on his skin only looked scary, and the blood flowing from the wound also looked horrible, but in fact, his life was not in danger.

Qin Xiao had just breathed a sigh of relief when the energy in his body suddenly became chaotic.

Damn. Qin Xiao's mouth was filled with the smell of blood. Blood was coughed out from his throat, flowing down his chin and onto his neck.

The black Qi seemed to have discovered the existence of the Yuan Qi and began to run wild, with its muscles and bones running wildly, causing pain all over his body.

People soon gathered around, but Qin Xiao had no idea what they said or did. He could only feel that the surroundings were in chaos.

Be more stable...

Qin Xiao gritted his teeth, forced his Qi to be fixed, and then slowly combed it.

Qin Xiao's eyes became hot, as if something was flowing out, but he thought it was tears and didn't care. He closed his eyes and began to sort it out.

I don’t know how long it took, but when I finally finished it, I opened my eyes and saw Qin Jinyi’s sad face just a little distance away from me.

"Old Third, you can't die, Old Third, wuwuwuwu, I will never leave you alone again, please don't die, Weiwei..."

Qin Jinyi's crying and screaming almost broke Qin Xiao's eardrums.

"Stop crying, aren't your eyes open?" The tribe doctor next to him looked disgusted.

"But look, he's bleeding so much, wuwuwu..." Qin Jinyi recalled the previous scene and was still so scared that he couldn't help crying.

At that time, Qin Xiao's whole body was burnt black, and even smoke was coming out of it, and blood was constantly flowing out of his eyes and ears...

That scene dealt a great blow to Qin Jinyi, who was just over ten years old.

Just think about it, when he first saw the thunder striking, he was laughing so happily, saying who is so unlucky to be struck by lightning.

When I got closer, I found out that it was his brother...

So miserable...

Qin Jinyi wanted to cry when she thought of Qin Xiao's bloody eyes, blood gushing out of his mouth, and blood oozing from his ears.

He almost didn't recognize it because of the blood.

“Third brother, you can’t die, wuwuwu…” Qin Jinyi was still howling.

Qin Xiao's adaptability was clearly strong, and he was able to recognize the loud noises made by Qin Jinyi without changing his expression.

"Clang-"

There was a loud noise, and Qin Jichen came in with big strides, looking dusty and exhausted. "Third brother, how are you?"

Qin Jichen's face was full of anxiety. Just as he locked onto Qin Xiao, he heard Qin Jinyi's wailing words.

"——You can't get into trouble, Third Brother——"

Qin Jichen was struck by lightning, his face pale: "What? Third... Third brother has already-?"

Qin Xiao: ...

No I'm still alive.

"I'm fine." Qin Xiao spoke in time before Qin Jichen's tears fell, but as soon as he spoke he found that his throat was very hoarse.

Qin Jichen immediately came back to his senses, walked to the bed and pushed Qin Jinyi away, carefully looking at Qin Xiao who was wrapped in gauze, and looked at the clan doctor who was looking at him with disgust: "Doctor, my brother..."

The clan doctor rolled his eyes at Qin Jinyi and said sternly, "There's nothing wrong with the internal organs, just a large area of ​​burns on the skin surface. There may be scars, but there's no damage to the bones and muscles. Generally speaking, it's nothing serious. Take this snow litchi ointment back and apply it for a week. It will be fine."

"Then why was he bleeding from all seven orifices?" Qin Jinyi wiped his nose and stood up.

The clan doctor looked at the examination book on the table without looking up: "Today is the first time he draws Qi into his body, right? The Qi was not completely absorbed into the Dantian at once, and it rushed around in the body and forcibly broke through the shackles of the seven orifices. To put it bluntly, it is a backlash. He will be fine after resting for a few weeks."

Qin Jinyi choked and nodded.

Qin Xiao glanced at his sticky sleeves and felt really disgusted. If he could move now, he would have run away as soon as he found Qin Jinyi lying on him.

It was Qin Jichen who grabbed Qin Jinyi by the collar and dragged him out: "Don't embarrass yourself here, wash your face and change your clothes."

Qin Jinyi was about to retort, but when he looked down, he realized that he was indeed filthy. He had just carried Qin Xiao to the infirmary, and his chest was inevitably stained with blood. The blood had oxidized over time and turned brown. In addition, he had been crying and snotting, so it looked really dirty.

Qin Jinyi met Qin Xiao's slightly disdainful look and felt very hurt and a little embarrassed.

"Then I'll go change my clothes." Qin Jinyi's mind became clearer and he realized how embarrassing what he had just done was. His face turned red with embarrassment, he scratched his head and quickly slipped away.

Qin Jichen withdrew his gaze, shook his head helplessly, and looked at Qin Xiao.

"how do you feel?"

Qin Xiao wanted to nod to show that he was fine, but as soon as he moved he found that his forehead was hurting badly. However, he still nodded expressionlessly - although his face was wrapped in bandages so no expression could be seen - and slightly bent his arms and tried to sit up.

Qin Jichen saw his intention, stretched out his arm to help him sit up, and pulled the pillow from the inside of the bed to place behind Qin Xiao's waist.

Qin Xiao opened his mouth and his throat felt like it was on fire. He then realized that his whole body was burning with pain. For a moment, he couldn't help but frown.

"What happened? What happened next?"

To Qin Jichen's surprise, Qin Xiao neither acted like a spoiled child with tears in his eyes nor cried out in pain. He just asked him questions that had nothing to do with his physical condition.

Qin Jichen was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said, "After you fainted, although the scene was a little chaotic, Dad showed up right away to calm everyone down. Qin Jinyi was responsible for sending you to see a doctor, and I took over Yuanyuan and stayed with her. I wanted to come here right away, but seeing that Yuanyuan was too scared, I settled her down first before coming over."

As he spoke, Qin Jichen looked at Qin Xiao's expression nervously, afraid that he would feel unbalanced, and he had even thought of the words of comfort that would follow.

"It's fine as long as it ends smoothly." Qin Xiao nodded, not feeling there was anything wrong.

This surprised Qin Jichen again: "Don't you feel sad?" After saying that, he realized it and wanted to slap himself in the face immediately.

Qin Xiao was puzzled: "Sad? Why?"

"Uh... because..." Qin Jichen shifted his gaze uncomfortably, "Dad is busy with the ceremony and hasn't even come to see you yet. I'm also taking care of Jiu Yuan first..."

Qin Jichen remembered that his best friend had complained to him about his troubles before.

"You don't know what it feels like to have two younger brothers at home." My friend's face was full of fatigue. "Those two guys want to fight for everything. They are very sensitive and will complain if they are slightly neglected. I am busy serving water at home. My mother is partial to one and I have to comfort the other. What do you think they are trying to achieve?"

Qin Jichen was very surprised when he heard this because he had never encountered such a situation before.

Qin Jinyi has been smart and knows how to make people happy since he was young; Qin Xiao is also calm and has hardly ever made a noise; and as Qin Jiuyuan is the youngest, her family will naturally pay more attention to her, so there is nothing to worry about.

The friend was surprised after hearing Qin Jichen's story: "From what you said, it seems that your family has never paid much attention to your third brother. Didn't he say anything?"

Qin Jichen was very surprised to hear this conclusion at first. After his friend reminded him, he belatedly recalled Qin Xiao's affairs. He found that he didn't remember anything important about Qin Xiao. His impression of Qin Xiao was vague. Qin Xiao seemed to have always been calm and not aggressive, like a background board.

Even though they always gave priority to Qin Jiuyuan's feelings and showed strong care and love for her every time when Qin Jiuyuan was present, Qin Xiao had a cold expression on his face, as if he didn't feel any resentment at all.

"Then you have to be careful." After hearing this, my friend's face turned serious. "Children before the age of 12 will show dependence on their parents and siblings, and they are very sensitive to the love between family members. So brothers and sisters often get jealous of each other."

"According to what you said, I feel like you always seem to ignore his feelings in your daily life - maybe because he doesn't have a strong sense of existence. But these unintentional actions are likely to cause psychological trauma to the child."

"You said he's not jealous of his sister at all. There are two possibilities." The friend held up a finger. "One is that he is jealous of his sister, but he hides it and doesn't let you find out in order to satisfy you. This situation is a bit bad because you can't be sure whether this will become the fuse for his sudden outburst one day. Once this suppressed emotion explodes, it will be terrible and troublesome."

"There is another type, which I think is the most troublesome." The friend held up a second finger and said seriously, "He really doesn't care. Your feelings, the object of your love and preference, even you, everything about you, are meaningless to him."

My friend's voice actually made me feel a little chilly: "In his eyes, you are not the person he loves. You may even be just a stranger who lives with him day and night. Would you be jealous of an unimportant person? Would you care who a stranger prefers? No. That's why he doesn't care at all. Because in his eyes, you are not important, so who you like more and who you care more about is naturally none of his business."

"How is that possible? He is only 6 years old." Qin Jichen slammed his friend's hand down and couldn't help but retort.

The friend didn't get angry. He sighed and scratched his head: "So it's just a possibility... But there are indeed people who are born emotionally indifferent. I haven't met your brother, so these thoughts are indeed a bit arbitrary. I heard you say that your brother is quite normal towards you, isn't he? He's just a little cold. Then he should be that kind of introverted child, who is just embarrassed to say it in his heart..."

Qin Jichen thought of his friend's comments and secretly glanced at Qin Xiao, trying to observe his expression, but found that his face was wrapped in gauze and it was impossible to tell whether he was gloomy or bright.

"Hmm?" Qin Xiao was stunned for a moment, then said, "It doesn't matter, right? You did the right thing, and Dad is very responsible. It's nothing, right? Didn't my second brother send me here?"

Qin Xiao really didn't care. He wouldn't die even if no one cared about him, not to mention that nothing serious was happening right now.

He didn't quite understand why Qin Jichen felt guilty.

Qin Jichen's heart sank: "What if Qin Jinyi didn't send you here in time?"

"There will be other people to send you off at that time, right? Won't they make preparations in advance to prevent accidents when awakening? Someone will be responsible for handling emergencies." Qin Xiao said lightly, his voice very hoarse.

Qin Jichen looked a little ugly.

Qin Xiao was a little puzzled, but his throat was so hoarse for a moment that he looked at the clan doctor beside him.

The clan doctor was very considerate and brought a glass of water and asked Qin Jichen to feed it to Qin Xiao. He then took the medical records to report to the clan leader.

Qin Jichen held the water with a dark look in his eyes.

Qin Xiao:?

Qin Xiao wondered if he had reached puberty.

Qin Xiao and Qin Jichen stared at each other for a long time and decided to get the water themselves.

"Can't you just ask me for a favor?" Qin Jichen frowned, waved away Qin Xiao's outstretched hand, and handed the water to his mouth.

Qin Xiao looked at Qin Jichen's face and decided not to offend him. He lowered his head and drank the water obediently, then thanked Qin Jichen.

"You are still so distant to me!" Qin Jichen seemed even sadder.

Qin Xiao: ...

What's wrong with him?

"And you still say thank you!" Qin Jichen said hurt.

Qin Xiao: ...

Forget it.

Qin Xiao turned his head away. Just think of him as a moody teenager.

In Qin Jichen's eyes, this was a refusal to communicate. Just as he was about to say something, he was interrupted by Qin's father who stood at the door without knowing when: "Jichen, go out first."

Qin Jichen turned around and saw his father standing at the door, holding the medical record book that the clan doctor was about to deliver, and winking at him.

Qin Jichen wanted to say something but stopped himself. He looked at Qin Xiao reluctantly, as if he was hiding something in his heart. He left, looking back every few steps.

For a moment, Qin Xiao had the illusion that Qin Jichen was a big furry dog.

Qin Xiao was shocked by his own thoughts.
