Sanshan City, Southeast Province, in winter afternoon.

Sanshan Square in the suburbs of the south of the city.

Amid the rush of people, a young man with a slightly pale face was walking forward with steady steps.

His name is Xia Rufei, and he is twenty-one years old this year. He is a retired soldier who has just left the military camp.

Xia Rufei is not tall, about 1.75 meters tall, and has a slightly slim figure.

He had delicate round short hair, a brown 07 winter camouflage training uniform, and a pair of black high-top combat boots on his feet.

However, the very old-washed camouflage training uniform did not have any military rank or military branch logos, and the combat boots were also very damaged. Several patent leathers were worn out, like several ugly scars.

Although Xia Rufei's clothes were old, they were washed very clean, giving people a refreshing feeling.

But no matter what, this outfit made him look a little out of place among the crowds in the city, and even attracted some curious and even contemptuous eyes.

But Xia Rufei ignored it, his waist was still straight, and he walked forward with a standard 75 cm pace. As he walked, the wind was blowing, and the whole body exuded a strong military aura.

Xia Rufei held a remittance receipt in his palm, and a sad face was hanging on his slightly pale face.

"Huzi, brothers can only do that. I even sold the house left by my grandfather..." Xia Rufei said to himself softly, "With this money, our mother will not be able to afford dialysis... As for kidney transplantation, brothers are really powerless. Alas, I hope you understand... After a while, we brothers will meet below. I will apologize to you in person..."

After saying that, Xia Rufei sighed long and felt melancholy.

Hu Zi was Xia Rufei's best comrade-in-arms and brother in the army. He was shot and died in a border battle to cover him.

Two years after Hu Zi's death, Xia Rufei was diagnosed with motor neuron disease, commonly known as ALS during a routine physical examination. The early symptoms of this disease are mild, and the patient may just feel weak, hopped, and fatigue easily, but gradually it will develop muscle atrophy and difficulty swallowing.

Under current medical conditions, motor neuron disease is still an incurable disease. It can be as short as a few months or as long as two or three years. Most patients will die of respiratory failure.

After learning about the disease, Xia Rufei resolutely asked to leave the army and was unwilling to cause trouble to the organization.

Of course, more importantly, Xia Rufei is a proud person in his bones. He has always been the top backbone in the Lone Wolf Commando. He doesn't want his comrades to see that he has difficulty even moving his fingers in the end. He can only lie on the bed and witness the embarrassing appearance of death swallowing him.

After retiring, Xia Rufei went to Huzi's house to visit his old mother, but suddenly learned that Huzi's mother was suffering from uremia and that Huzi's small martyrs' pensions had already been spent, but his condition did not improve at all.

Xia Rufei sold the small house left by his grandfather at the fastest speed and low price. Just now, he went to the bank to transfer the more than 400,000 yuan he earned from selling the house and his retirement fee of more than 80,000 yuan, and a total of more than 500,000 yuan to Hu Zi's mother's account.

But he himself was so poor that he was penniless.

Nowadays, in addition to the two-month rent prepaid, the living expenses of several hundred yuan in your pocket are Xia Rufei's entire assets.

Bypassing Xinrong Road next to Sanshan Square, the scenery in front of you suddenly changed. The prosperity of the city was suddenly left behind. The eyes were filled with low bungalows, with various private wires scrambling, illegal buildings chaotic trees, and foul smells emitted from the ditch beside the road, and various domestic garbage could be seen everywhere.

This is a shanty town at the junction of urban and rural areas, exuding an old and decadent atmosphere in this ever-changing era. Fortunately, it is said that this shanty town will be demolished within one or two years.

After Xia Rufei sold the house, he rented the cheapest single room here as his place to stay.

He quickly walked through the streets, and he didn't even frown at the stinky smell that penetrated his nostrils from time to time - in his military career, he had experienced more than once an environment that was a hundred times worse than this, which was nothing.

"Let me go...help!"

A voice came faintly in the distance, and he frowned slightly and walked quickly in the direction of the sound.

Xia Rufei is not a person who likes to meddle in other people's business, but the public security situation in the shantytowns is very poor, and there are mixed up with all kinds of religions, but the cry for help seems to be a young woman, with a strong panic in her tone. No matter what, it is, something big will happen.

Walking quickly through the narrow alley, in front of an abandoned house, Xia Rufei saw three drunken gangsters, smiling around a panicked girl.

The girl is wearing a short white down jacket and water-milled blue jeans. She has a pair of straight and slender legs. Her slightly bloated outfit in winter still cannot hide her graceful and tall figure.

She had a standard and exquisite melon-shaped face, and her big eyes that should have been agile at this moment were full of fear. Her hair was a little messy, and her body was trembling involuntarily, which made her feel a little pitiful.

Xia Rufei thought to himself, why did such a beautiful little girl come here alone? Are you asking for trouble?

"Help! Brother... save me..." The girl saw Xia Rufei, as if she had grabbed a life-saving straw and begged quickly.

This place is remote and rarely anyone can pass by. It is precisely because of this that the three gangsters dare to use alcohol to be so unscrupulous.

They obviously didn't expect someone to come. They were stunned when they looked at Xia Rufei standing at the entrance of the alley.

The yellow-haired gangster in the lead looked up and down at Xia Rufei, and said with a strange smile:

"Oh! You're still a soldier brother! You won't want a hero to save the beauty, right? Grandpa, I'm in a good mood today. Don't bother with you. Be aware of it and get out of here!"

Xia Rufei stared at the yellow hair calmly,:

"Give you three seconds to let go of that girl, I can pretend that nothing happened."

Huang Mao was stunned for a moment, looked at his two accomplices, and the three of them burst into laughter at the same time.

Huangmao pointed at Xia Rufei's nose and cursed:

"Grandson! You're so stupid as a soldier! You dare to talk to your grandpa like this..."

"Time is up!" Xia Rufei gently spit out a few words.

As soon as he finished speaking, the yellow-haired felt a flash in front of him. Xia Rufei, who was originally two meters away, flashed in front of him.

Immediately afterwards, Huangmao felt a strong force coming from his chest and abdomen, and he couldn't help but fly out, piercing his butt into a puddle, and the dirty sewage splashed all over him.

His movements were so fast that the three gangsters didn't even have time to react.

Xia Rufei's ability was so powerful that the three of them were startled, and a hint of fear appeared in his eyes.

But Xia Rufei frowned slightly and said in his heart:

"This damn disease is getting worse and worse..."

The moment he took action, he felt that his limb weakness had worsened. Originally, his kick should have completely lost his power of movement, but now although Huangmao was extremely dirty and embarrassed, he quickly stood up.

On the other end, the wine was so bold that Huangmao put his hand on his waist and touched the guy he was good at. The fear in his eyes gradually subsided. Then he stared at Xia Ruofei with a fierce look, and suddenly pulled out a dagger from his waist, stretched out his tongue and licked his lips, and said in a silence:

"Boy, you're looking for death..."

The other two gangsters took out their daggers and threw the woman away. The three of them surrounded Xia Rufei.

The girl was so scared that she covered her mouth with a gloomy look.

Xia Rufei calmly pushed the girl behind him, and gritted her teeth and rushed towards the three people who formed a siege.

The girl looked at Xia Rufei's slightly thin body, with a layer of mist in her eyes, and her back seemed to have become taller in an instant.

Xia Rufei hit Huangmao's shoulder with a beautiful whip leg. With a click, Huangmao fell to the ground in pain and howled on the ground. Facing the three daggers, Xia Rufei did not retain any more strength.

After putting down the yellow hair, Xia Ruofei took the opportunity to turn sideways and thrust the general away from another gangster. A dagger with a flash of cold light passed by him. The situation was extremely thrilling, and the girl screamed in fear.

The two gangsters looked at each other, gritted their teeth and rushed up again, waving their daggers.

Xia Rufei stepped forward calmly, took the opportunity to grab it, butterfly walked through the flowers, always blocking between the gangster and the girl intentionally or unintentionally.

Taking a chance, Xia Rufei bullied himself and accurately grabbed the wrist of a gangster in the shadow of the knife.

If it were before, the wrist of the gangster would be pinched off the next second, but at this moment, Xia Rufei felt weak again in all limbs.

He secretly complained in his heart that he gritted his teeth and pulled it hard, and led the gangster to the side.

However, his movements were still half a beat slower, and the cold light passed by, and with a sizzling sound, another gangster's dagger cut through Xia Rufei's camouflage training uniform, leaving a long hole in his arm, and blood also emerged.

Xia Rufei, who was accidentally injured, elbowed the gangster's face without changing his expression, directly knocking him to death. Then he grabbed another gangster's wrist and half-shoulder and fell over his shoulder, making him live on the ground with a loud bang.

The gangster rolled his eyes and fainted.

The girl was stunned. She didn't expect that this man who looked a little thin was so powerful. Facing the three sword-holding hooligans, they were all knocked down with bare hands in just over ten or twenty seconds!

Xia Rufei frowned slightly - if it weren't for that damn disease, such a street gangster who had not been trained could only be brought down by just one meeting. Now he was scratched, which was simply a shame to the special operations team!

He shook his head with a wry smile, looked down at his slightly trembling hands. Is there really nothing he can do?

Restrained his mood, he turned around and walked to the girl and said:

"You go quickly! The security in this kind of place is not very good. It is best not to come out alone if you are a girl..."

"Thank you! I understand..." the girl said with a grateful look.

Immediately afterwards, she screamed again:

"Oh! Your arms are bleeding..."

Xia Ruofei looked down at the wound on his arm without any reason, and waved his hand indifferently:

"It's okay, a little bit of injury."

"I...I'll accompany you to the hospital to bandage!" said the girl, "You were injured to save me!"

"No, you go quickly! It's time for me to go back." Xia Rufei shook his head.

"This is not possible! What if I get infected?" the girl grabbed Xia Rufei's sleeve and said, "It's better to go to the hospital for a look! I'll go with you!"

Xia Rufei gently broke free from the girl's hand and said:

"No, goodbye!"

After saying that, Xia Rufei walked forward with great strides. The girl wanted to chase after him, but her foot was sprained in the tearing with three gangsters. She limped and couldn't keep up with Xia Rufei, who was marching like flying. She could only shout behind her:

"Hey! I don't know your name yet..."

Xia Rufei did not answer, but waved his hand without looking back, and soon disappeared at the corner of the house.

The girl looked at the howling yellow-haired and the two unconscious gangsters. She was very scared. She didn't dare to stay here for a long time. She could only look deeply in the direction where Xia Rufei disappeared, and then limped away from the scene.

Xia Rufei soon returned to his new residence, a small house of less than 10 square meters. Apart from a bed and table, there was almost no place to stay.

He pulled out a box from under the bed and searched it inside.

As soon as Xia Rufei moved here, she had not had time to organize her things, so she ran to send money to Huzi's mother.

He remembered that when he moved, he put the first aid kit in this sorting box. The wound on his arm was quite long and deep and must be dealt with in time.

The box was a little messy, with the military medals he brought back from the army and some gadgets given by his comrades, as well as some old items left by his deceased grandfather. It was obviously difficult to find a small first aid kit at once.

Xia Rufei himself did not notice it. As he was searching, a drop of blood dripped from the wound on his arm, and it was falling on a very inconspicuous ancient scroll in the box.

Blood fell on the surface of the scroll, like snowflakes falling in boiling water, disappearing without a trace in the blink of an eye.

After absorbing a drop of Xia Rufei's blood, the scroll suddenly burst out with a light golden light, which immediately attracted Xia Rufei's gaze.

Xia Ruofei was stunned. What's going on?
