Shock!The game I designed has come to reality

Chapter 78 The past events of Lingzhi and Taozi

The heavy rain stopped unconsciously.

But dark clouds still filled the sky, and the depressing atmosphere in Novice Village had not passed.

Under Yang Ming's organization, Chang Le and others were arranged by him to repair the ruins of the headquarters and decorate the mourning hall.

Deng Lang and others also came back.

Yang Ming searched the corpse for a long time before he found Xu Lingzhi, who was stained red with blood. He picked her up and walked to the mourning hall.

Xu Taozi followed behind silently, without the usual jumpiness, her pupils were slightly dilated, and she didn't know what she was thinking.

The mourning hall was temporarily decorated and very simple. At Yang Ming's request, a large coffin was placed in the middle. Xu Lingzhi had been with him for so long, so Yang Ming had to let her die in a dignified manner.

After placing the body in the coffin, Yang Ming turned to look at Xu Taozi, opened his mouth, and was about to say something, but saw Taozi sitting alone next to him, looking blank.

Yang Ming sighed softly, and in the end there were only two words left in his words: "My condolences."

When Taozi heard this, she turned her head and looked over expressionlessly. She didn't seem to be crying, but her eyes were red. She looked at Yang Ming for a long time without answering, and said nonchalantly: "Do you know?"

Yang Ming: "What?"

She choked up: "When I was eight years old, my parents died in a car accident. Since then, my sister has become my nominal parent. She single-handedly raised me up."

"Don't look at my sister who spends her whole day trying not to spoil me this way and not spoiling me that way. In fact, she is the one who spoils me the most."

Her eye circles became even redder: "At that time, my family was poor and had no money. When my sister ate noodles, she would always leave most of the noodles to me, and she would drink some soup by herself."

"During that time, she was always sallow and skinny, like an old cucumber."

"Our family had an old hen at that time, and the two sisters looked forward to it laying eggs every day, because then we could improve our food."

"But that bastard never got off the bed once, and was later driven to death by a car. My sister cooked it while crying. It was the most uncomfortable sumptuous dinner in my memory."

Taozi paused for a while, as if falling into memories again: "In junior high school, all the girls in school liked to play with crystal balls. They were so shiny and beautiful. Everyone had them. I watched eagerly as they gathered around them every day. Showing off my crystal ball together, I really like it and I want to do it, but I don’t have the money.”

"One time I couldn't help it, so I touched my deskmate's crystal ball while she was taking a nap. She saw it and she told me not to touch her crystal ball with rag-picking hands, as it would get dirty."

"I'm speechless because I do pick up plastic bottles and sell them for money."

"So, when I got home, I got angry with my sister. You could say I was angry, but it was more to vent my sadness and grievances."

"My sister asked me what was wrong and if I was being bullied at school. I yelled at her: My classmates all have crystal balls, and everyone is so beautiful, but I don't. I seem to be out of tune with them. If I don't have a crystal ball, they will reject me. .”

"Now that I think about it, I'm not being rejected because I don't have a crystal ball. It's more that I'm just a picker of rags in their eyes."

"After my sister heard what I said, she was stunned for a while. She pursed her lips but didn't say anything. She just asked me to go to bed first."

"I tossed and turned in bed unable to fall asleep. I turned over and peeked at my sister, only to see her take out a washed white handkerchief from the dark side of the drawer. When she opened it, there was a small wad of money inside."

"That night, she counted the money over and over again."

"After that, my sister started to go out early and come back late. When I asked her, she just shook her head and said nothing, but she was thinner than before."

"Later I inquired a little bit and found out that my sister helped a butcher sell meat at the market every day after school. No wonder she came back greasy every day." "My life went on like this until my birthday, when my sister happily followed me I said: Go home early after school, there will be a surprise!"

"I felt something in my heart, as if I had thought of something, and my heart was beating so fast that I was absent-minded in school that day, looking forward to going home."

"That night, it rained heavily."

"The rain was so heavy, there was lightning and thunder, and I couldn't hear anything except the crashing. I leaned against the door frame, looking forward to my sister's return."

"I've been waiting for a long time, and every second seems like a year."

"I didn't see my sister coming home for a long time, and I started to get anxious. I took our broken umbrella and rushed out, looking for my sister along the road to the vegetable market."

"I can't remember how many times the umbrella was blown over by strong winds along the way. I just remember that the frame was completely broken."

"I came to the vegetable market soaked all over, but the butcher told me that my sister had left long ago. When she left, she was very happy and said she would come back to celebrate my birthday."

"My heart suddenly shrank, and thousands of unexpected possibilities were lingering in my mind for a moment. At that moment, I didn't want anything, I just wanted my sister."

"I searched frantically, in the streets and alleys, screaming my heart out, but my voice was not louder than rain or thunder."

"I was crying while searching, and my whole face was wet. I didn't know whether the rain washed away my tears, or whether the tears washed away the rain."

"I found it later, under the eaves of a residential house."

"My sister hugged her knees and huddled there, staring blankly at a pile of glass fragments not far away. I recognized them. They were crystal ball fragments."

"I stumbled and ran to my sister's side. Her eyes were red and swollen, and she was saying something. When I got closer, I heard that she was saying sorry to me."

"That was the only time my sister apologized to me."

"That night, my sister and I hugged each other and cried for a long time..."

Yang Ming's eye sockets were sparkling at some point. He turned around and found that Tao Zi had been crying till he was full of tears.

His voice was a little sour: "Stop talking..."

Taozi touched the tears on her face and continued:
"My sister has rarely had conflicts with others since she was a child. She has always been cautious and steady. Do you know when the only two times she had conflicts with others were?"

Yang Ming stared at her blankly, speechless.

Taozi burst into tears and cried, "The first time was at Baixiang Tower, to protect you, and the second time was at the alliance headquarters, to protect the last sign of the alliance."

"Why..." Yang Ming felt mixed emotions in his heart.

Taozi smiled stupidly, tears streaming into her mouth:

"I also asked her that day, with a bit of grievance: Why do you have to work so hard? You deal with the affairs of the alliance every day and you don't have time to accompany me."

"My sister said: After living for more than [-] years, she realized for the first time that life is not just about living, but also something to pursue."

"Perhaps what she is protecting is some kind of extravagant hope or longing in her heart..."
