Picked up by the Protagonist of a Tormented! MC Novel

Xi Wei didn't have a fixed residence, so how to find a safe place became a big problem, wandering aimlessly was the stupidest choice.

It's okay when there is only one person, but it becomes less safe if there is an extra eye-catching baby. First of all, this extra burden must be changed.

Xi Wei walked and stopped carefully. There were reasons for avoiding the crowd as much as possible. The more important reason was that for him, Kino was very heavy, and he needed to constantly adjust his position so that his arms would not be so sore. So tired, but also a little breather.

Kino couldn't see Xi Wei, but it didn't mean he didn't feel it. The protagonist's breath wasn't stable, and he could clearly hear the intense beating sound of his heart "thumping" when he leaned against his chest. He felt guilty and worried for a while.

Finally Xi Wei stopped, and the surroundings were very quiet. He slightly opened the head of the swaddling baby, exposing Kino's face to the cold air, but quickly tucked the baby around the neck so that he could Breathe freely without letting cold air escape into your clothes.

Kino was indeed a little bored and flustered. Before he was afraid of offending the protagonist, he dared not speak out to express his discomfort. Now he felt better. He quietly rolled his eyes and looked at the surrounding environment.

Yesa City is very rich in water resources, with various rivers criss-crossing, and its magnificence is comparable to that of the water city of Venice. There are many boats docked or floating on the water. Some of these boats are private, some are organized, some are gorgeous and some are simple. The common feature is that they are not large, because of the width of the river and the height of the arch bridge, ships that are too large cannot pass freely.

Now they are under a certain bridge hole in a river, where a simple boat is parked.

Crude boat is a very implicit adjective. In fact, this boat is very broken and small. The hull is made of wood. The length is about twice the combined height of Xi Wei and Kino at present, and the width is only as much as Xi Wei's height. The miniature ones are like models.

There are many scratches on the hull, as if after many collisions, there are deep and shallow pits all over the edge, and countless holes are broken on the top of the awning above. Once it rains, it is probably the rhythm of the heavy rain outside and the heavy rain inside.

When Xi Wei embarked on this tiny broken ship with Kino in his arms, Kino still couldn't believe that this dangerous ship, which should have been scrapped for 800 years, would be their future "house".

The boat looked broken and small from the outside, but when I drilled into the cabin, it turned out to be a Class III dangerous ship, and there were traces of repairs on the bottom of the boat, which looked like it might leak at any time.

If it wasn't for the fact that Kino couldn't speak, he would have caught Xi Wei and shook him awake. The protagonist, even sleeping on the snow would be better than being on this kind of boat. If it doesn't work out, it will be the rhythm of a direct water burial!

Apparently Xi Wei didn't think so. Returning to the familiar place made his tense cheeks relax a little, and then he began to change the shape of Kino's swaddling clothes.

He first laid Kino flat on the only dirty, worn-out blanket that couldn't see its original color in the cabin, and then expressionlessly tore off the cloak left by the mother who wrapped Kino on the outside, Spreading it aside, he carefully took out the small, albeit old, curly-bladed dagger and began cutting the cloak into strips and patches.

As the dagger is blunt, the work took a long time to complete.

Then Xi Wei frowned slightly and started gesticulating at Kino with the dagger, and Kino couldn't help but feel terrified.

Protagonist, you just used a dagger to dismember the cloak, you won't dismember me next time, wake up, changing sons to eat is the villain's behavior, Ni can't do that!It's not that the villains are abused so badly, but if they really become villains, they will be a thousand times more miserable!

But he obviously thought too much. After a while, Xi Wei used a dagger to cut the outermost swaddling clothes into tatters. Although the ones I picked up were not warm enough compared to the original ones, they also lost the possibility of being coveted.

Don't doubt, in Ye Sa City, even a complete baby swaddle with high-quality fabrics is at risk of being robbed.

As a local beggar born and bred in Ye Sa, Xi Wei is well versed in the way of survival here. Only by keeping a low profile and being more cautious can he survive safely.

After doing all this, even the protagonist feels very tired. His face has changed from an unhealthy color to a little pale, and there are obvious dark circles under his eyes. Fans in the brain express that they are distressed, but if it is not for me, How could Xi Wei stay up all night, but still want to share most of the hard-to-find food with him, after finally returning to his little den, he has been busy for so long.

Wanting the protagonist to have a good rest, Chino yelled "Yiwu Yiwu" twice on purpose, and when Xi Wei gave him a cold look, he immediately opened his small mouth and tried his best to yawn big. Show sleepy.

Xi Wei looked at the soft creature expressionlessly and looked at himself with pitiful eyes, while still opening his pink mouth to express his prayer for sleep. Pressing his little head against his chest, he really fell asleep.

The little baby's body bones were extremely soft, and there was a faint milky scent on his body. He smelled a little hungry, but he was very warm in his arms. Xi Wei had his first good night's sleep. Ever since he was born, no one had ever slept with him like this. As close as he was, the pair of parents were basically in a free-range state when they were still there. Except for not letting him starve to death, they never fulfilled their parents' responsibilities.

The same is true for Kino. Having grown up in an orphanage, he felt that Xi Wei's thin body felt extremely secure. The two tired children slept very soundly, and the two small bodies hugged each other tightly, as if There is only each other left in the world.

After this sleep, I fell asleep until the moon was in the middle of the sky. In ordinary places, midnight is the time to rest, but in Ye Sa City, all the underground dark activities have just begun, and the ordinary river surface has changed in the daytime. .

All kinds of boats lit up magic stone lamps of ambiguous colors, and walked freely on the river.

There are pretty girls sitting or standing on the prows of many boats. They are dressed in cool clothes and are not afraid of the severe cold. They are all looking at the river bank. When they see an adult man waving, they will order the boatman at the helm to stop and discuss for a while. Finally, if the deal is made, it sticks into the cabin, and the boat sails into the middle of the river again.

For a time, the river was filled with a fragrant and charming atmosphere.

Xi Wei was used to this kind of situation, and didn't care at all, but when he found that the little one was awake, he was satisfied with the child's non-crying or fussing, and fed two-thirds of the last bread in the most clumsy way as usual. Finally, I ate the dirt-stained bread crust and the remaining third by myself.

The food ran out.

Tonight, the wind is blowing, and the snow is blowing again. I don't know how many people will be buried by the heavy snow again.

Their boat was hidden under the bridge hole, avoiding the fate of being covered by snowflakes, but the black awning full of holes could not stop the cold wind, Xi Wei instinctively hugged the only heat source tightly, absorbing a little bit of warmth.

It's just that those black eyes are still indifferent, without the slightest emotion.

There were some sundries piled up here and there in the cabin, other than that there was only the dirty blanket they were lying on at the bottom of the cabin, Xi Wei suddenly felt an unusual warmth from his middle finger.

He hesitantly raised his left hand in front of him, carefully observing the extra ring through the moonlight leaking from the ceiling. It was forced to be put on by the desperate young noble mother. Wei almost forgot about this little thing, and now that he thought about it, he was reluctant to wear it.

He tucked Kino into his arms, put his hands together behind the little one's back, and tried to take off the ring, but found that he couldn't lift it.

The seemingly ordinary black ring seemed to grow on his finger, and he couldn't take it off no matter how hard he tried. The expression on Xi Wei's brow became even colder. If he couldn't take it off, he could almost imagine that he would soon I couldn't keep the middle finger of my left hand, or even my entire left hand.

He tried his best to snatch the ring with a blank face, but the ring did not move at all. In the end, he took out his precious dagger, hesitated for a moment, and began to slowly cut himself open along the ring's periphery. The black ring was soaked in dark red blood, filling the pattern along the dark lines on the ring.

Xi Wei's pupils shrank slightly, and he could feel that there seemed to be many spikes protruding from the inside of the ring, piercing directly into his fingers, and then sucking his blood.

In the weather where the dripping water turned into ice, Xi Wei was sweating profusely. He clenched his teeth tightly because of fear and pain. The pain that penetrated into the bone marrow still made him let out a few broken groans from his teeth. Dissipated on the river, there are so many moans here that no one pays attention at all.

Kino was stunned, he couldn't see the back, he could only see the protagonist's immature face was serious at first, then became deep, and finally turned into distorted pain suddenly, he grabbed his left hand and began to struggle in the cabin. roll.

Xi Wei's left hand was already dripping with blood.

Kino was in a panic, but he still could only wave his weak little hands and scream "Yiwu Yiwu" anxiously, but he couldn't do anything else.

Unknowingly, the baby's white and tender face was covered with vertical and horizontal tear stains.

The black ring was full of blood, exuding a blood-colored brilliance, reflecting Xi Wei's distorted face and looking a bit hideous, but it quickly darkened and even disappeared.

Xi Wei was lying in a corner of the cabin almost collapsed, his pupils were a little dizzy due to the extreme pain he endured, and it took a long time for him to relax. Beside Kino, he turned over Kino who was facing the cabin bottom and his back to the sky, and couldn't help but startled when he saw his messed up little face.

A voice that was even dry and hoarse than last time sounded, "Don't...cry, I...won't...die."

Xi Wei wiped the little boy's face into a tabby cat with his dirty sleeves, thinking while wiping.

Apart from the dried blood, there was no wound on his hand at all, and the weird ring disappeared, only the pattern on the middle finger that was exactly the same as the pattern on the surface of the ring showed that everything before was not a dream.

The dilapidated cabin was very quiet for a moment, and suddenly a timid voice said, "Who are you?"
