Picked up by the Protagonist of a Tormented! MC Novel

It was an extremely cold snowy night, but a beautiful woman was running in the snow-covered alley with a baby in her arms. She was terrified, as if there was a scourge chasing after her, and she staggered and almost fell several times. She was wearing extremely thin clothes, and the black outer robe was covered by swirling snowflakes.

Perhaps it was because of the long-term running and running that the woman's face looked extremely rosy, and in the silent alleyway there were only reflections from the snow and the "creaking" sound of feet stepping on the snow.

This is not possible, the woman thought desperately, even if the enemy did not catch up with the footprints in such a cold snowy night, the little baby in her arms would not be able to bear it.

Finally, worrying about the baby defeated her extreme fear, the woman stopped and opened a gap in the tightly wrapped swaddle in her arms, carefully inspecting it with the faint reflection of the snow.

Sure enough, the baby's face was bruised and purple from the cold, and his breath was like gossamer. It seemed that he wanted to cry, but because of his extreme weakness, he could only yell softly.

The woman shed tears with pain all over her face, but the tears fell on the baby's face but bounced off like ice beads—this shows how low the temperature is.

Kino was being suffocated until he couldn't breathe, when suddenly some light appeared in front of his eyes, he couldn't help opening his mouth to breathe greedily, and he didn't feel any tears hitting his face, because his skin had long been tortured by the cold and he lost consciousness.

His hands and feet were so frozen that he couldn't even move a finger.

Only now did Kino vaguely understand his situation. Although he didn't know why he turned into a baby and was carried away by someone, he also intuitively felt the danger.

If things go on like this, he will probably die of cold and hunger just like the original baby, Kino thought helplessly and bitterly, and vaguely hoped that death would allow him to escape from this absurd situation, and then opened his eyes. I can still see the familiar skylight in my bedroom.

He was thinking wildly and trying to divert his attention, not wanting to appear weaker to make this beauty who was already struggling even more, when he suddenly heard the woman scold: "Who's there!"

Kino rolled his eyes with difficulty, and found a very young boy, about eight or nine years old, coming out from behind a trash can not far away with a full face.

The boy was tense all over, with a rusty knife in his hand, ready to go, as if he would pounce on him to fight for his life in the next moment.

The woman was stunned, she didn't expect it to be a little beggar, but the danger that a skinny little beggar can bring is obviously limited, a woman can run in the snow for so long in such thin clothes, naturally she has a foundation in martial arts.

She looked at the ragged boy in front of her and his indifferent eyes, then looked down at the baby who seemed to be dying, and a bold idea popped up.

If the child cannot escape death by following him, then it is better to hand him over to others. As soon as this idea appears, it burns like a prairie fire.

Although the little beggar in front of him is not the best candidate, he will no longer have time to look for others. What's more, ordinary people with names and surnames are easier to track down, but beggars on the side of the road are even less noticeable.

Thinking of this, the woman's eyes became firmer, she took a few steps towards the little beggar, and saw that he stepped back in fear, holding the knife even tighter.

The woman had no choice but to stop, and said in a sad tone after a few steps: "You... Would you like to adopt this child?"

The little beggar's usual cold expression also flashed a moment of astonishment.

Kino also thought it was ridiculous, asking a child who was clearly insecure to raise a baby, was it just a whimsical idea, but this also showed from the side how bad their current situation was, that a mother would be asked to make such a desperate choice.

The woman also seemed to realize the strangeness of this statement, and hurriedly added: "I won't ask you to adopt it for nothing, I will pay you for it."

There was unconcealable anxiety on her face.

The little beggar remained silent. In fact, if he hadn't understood the huge gap in strength between him and this seemingly desperate woman, he would have turned around and ran away.

The woman couldn't wait for his answer, there was no time.

She took two steps forward again, forced the tightly wrapped swaddle into the little beggar's hand, then quickly wiped a dark black simple ring from her finger, grabbed the little beggar's finger and put it on for him superior.

The little beggar didn't dodge—he couldn't dodge either, he silently hugged the extra soft creature in his arms, watched the woman put a ring on him, untied the cloak to wrap them around them, and pulled a jade pendant from his neck Stuffed in a swaddle.

"Please let him live," the young mother choked up, "it doesn't need to be extravagant, even begging, it doesn't matter to be a scum, at least let him live."

After saying such a sentence, the mother pressed a deep kiss on Kino's face with tears in her eyes, looked at them again, and then ruthlessly pushed the little beggar hard, causing them to fall to the side of the road. Dump the litter box with the lid on.

"Don't come out," the two children in the dumpster heard her say. "Don't make a sound until daylight."

The "creaking" footsteps gradually faded away, and the suffocating silence was restored in this small trash can.

This kind of silence didn't last long, and after a while, a woman's desperate screams came faintly, and finally fell silent, and there seemed to be a trace of blood in the air.

Kino's mind was in a mess, and the scene in front of him seemed familiar. This change was clearly described in the opening chapter of the book "Curse"!

As a qualified brain teaser, Chino immediately matched the current scene with the description in his favorite book.

The baby whose body was taken by him and his unlucky mother are the first two characters to appear in "The Curse", and they are also the first two to receive the bento, yes, two.

In the original text, there is no such a reckless traveler as Chino, and the baby died when it was in the hands of the little beggar.

The purpose of such unidentified mother and son appearing in the book seems to be to give the protagonist the first golden finger, and their origins are not mentioned in the end. Yes, the seemingly ordinary black ring is the protagonist Xi Wei's two Lord of the Rings, one of the big golden fingers.

This young beggar who was indifferent and full of vigilance is Xi Wei, the protagonist of "Cursed".

Kino was not at all lucky to survive the catastrophe, but he remembered that in the article, Xi Wei threw the baby in the trash can after discovering that the baby was dead.

Although he is not dead yet!

But no one stipulates that if you are alive, you can't lose it!

No, you still lost me! QQ

Kino felt like crying, and he was really uncomfortable, his weak body was so cold that he almost lost consciousness, the mother's desperate and attached gaze when he was leaving, he was inexplicably dazed in a strange world, and the future was difficult to control .

Perhaps it was because the baby's body was particularly sentimental, but he actually whimpered and moaned softly. Although he didn't seem to be crying because of his weak breath, his eyes were indeed moist.

The lid of the trash can was not completely closed—otherwise the two children would be suffocated to death, so when the sky gradually brightened, the reflected light from the snow penetrated into the small trash can, and it seemed that even the peculiar rancid smell inside was dispelled a little.

Xi Wei looked down at the soft creature in his arms expressionlessly. A boy and a baby boy stared wide-eyed for a while, and the boy spoke.

"Don't make a sound," probably because he hadn't spoken for a long time, his voice was immature and dry, and not very fluent, "If you don't want your mother to die in vain."

Kino didn't react for a while, mainly because his voice was actually very small, almost as if he was talking to himself.

Seeing that the little baby didn't understand what he meant and was still humming, Xi Wei's eyes flashed a trace of coldness, and then his expression softened probably because he remembered that such a small baby who could understand people's speech was not far away from the monster.

The "monster" escaped by mistake and was not suspected of identity.

The sky was getting brighter, and it seemed that the two children were lucky and did not encounter any dangerous things, but even if they were killers, they rarely rummaged through the trash can.

Xi Wei cautiously widened the gap in the lid of the trash can a little, and looked out through the gap. It was early in the morning, and the snow had stopped at some point. There were not many people passing by in this alley, and it was early in the morning. Occasional "creaking" footsteps.

Only then did Xi Wei relax a little bit, and when he relaxed, he felt an unbearable hunger, and his stomach growled.

Kino remembered the description in the article, Xi Wei risked freezing to death because of extreme hunger, came to the back alley of the bakery to rummage through trash cans on a snowy night, and met the unlucky mother and child.

Xi Wei was so hungry that his hands and feet were limp, but he still tried his best to hold the baby and prevent him from falling to the ground.

For an ordinary eight or nine-year-old child, it is very difficult to hold a baby for a long time, let alone a hungry child with weak hands and feet.

Kino's heart was beating very fast. After these few hours of hiding in the trash can, he was completely sure that he was not dreaming. Now Xi Wei is the straw to save his life. In case he is really as cold and heartless as in the text If you lose yourself casually, you will really lose any hope of living.

There is a word called Ye Gong loves dragons. It is one thing to appreciate the indifference and decisiveness of the protagonist in the novel, but it is another thing to hold his life in the hands of a ruthless and unintentional person.

The city where Xi Wei was born and raised is called Ye Sa, also known as the "City of Exile". This city is located at the junction of two countries, and its geographical location is remote. It can be said that there are not many kind people in this city.

A frail baby in Yesa City, which is full of criminals in the ice and snow, will definitely die if there is no one to protect it.

The baby's body was shaking, and Xi Wei, who got out of the trash can, quickly discovered this fact. He lowered his head, pulled the baby's swaddle a little away, and saw Kino's terrified eyes.

"Don't... be afraid," Xi Wei said still so jerky and dry, "I... will support you."

Kino's eyes suddenly widened, and he couldn't believe his ears. Although Xi Wei still had an expressionless face when he said this, as if the whole world owed him money, but to Kino, it was like As beautiful as the sound of nature.

However, is the protagonist OOC?
