I'm wandering in the world

Chapter 18 Ke Zi's Home
On the coastal road, the sea breeze was howling, and senior student Ke Zi and senior student Hong Nan stood in a sheltered place hugging each other.

Ke Zi's eyes were dark and he said tiredly, "Do you think the god we worship can resolve the disaster that has befallen us? I feel like I can't hold on any longer..."

Hongnan seemed like a tough guy in school, but only he knew how fragile he was. Seeing his girlfriend Kezi like this, he couldn't help but feel a pain in his heart and said, "It should be okay. Who cares if he is an evil god or a righteous god? As long as he can fulfill our wish, as long as we get a ranking, we will leave this town and go... to Taipei..."

Ke Zi nodded vigorously: "We must get a place in the Taekwondo Club tomorrow!"

They each walked in different directions.

The wind seemed to be getting colder and colder. Ke Zi subconsciously hugged her arms and quickened her pace. She was so eager to get the prize money for her ranking, but the words that Ah Dai’s father said at the training ground were still echoing in her mind. They... were worshiping an evil god!

What will happen if you worship the evil god?
Ke Zi didn't know.

Maybe it means bad luck for a while or a few years of shortened life.

As long as I can leave...

It's all worth it.

My home is on the edge of town and is a very old bungalow.

In Ke Zi's vague childhood memories, her home seemed to be a three-story building. Later, her memories were filled with quarrels between her father and mother. She didn't know when the building disappeared and turned into a shabby bungalow...

She was carrying her backpack and saw the outside of the bungalow was covered with red paint with the words "Pay Your Debt" written all over it. It was so dense that it seemed like a curse wrapping up the bungalow and her heart.

Just about to push the door open.

Bang!

There was a sound of something breaking in the house.

Her hand paused on the door for a moment, then she pushed it open naturally. Sure enough, her parents were arguing...

My mother, who was in her forties, looked as old as if she was in her fifties. My father had sparse hair and was extremely thin. I don't know when he got addicted to gambling, and he gambled away my mother's dowry, savings, and everything that could be exchanged for money, hoping to make a huge profit and become the rich man he imagined.

The cold food on the table was scattered all over the floor, the bowl was broken into several pieces, and the chopsticks couldn't even be put together into a pair.

The mother grabbed the father's clothes with both hands and cried, "Please stop gambling, let's live a good life. Our daughter is so old, you should consider her if not me!"

The skinny father was quite strong. He shook off the mother's hand and shouted, "Lin Bei, didn't you consider it? I just want to get back all the money I lost before. Why don't you believe it? I have already worshipped the gods of the Wanying Palace. The magician there said that as long as you worship the gods sincerely, you can get the instructions of the gods to dispel the curse on me without paying!"

He was in a very depressed state, with sunken eye sockets, unstable emotions, and irritability. After he finished speaking, he flipped the entire table over, causing another rumbling sound...

Ke Zi's body trembled slightly, and he lowered his head and said, "I'm back."

Dad yelled, "Where have you been so late at night? You just fool around outside every day!"

Ke Zi's eyes were red and her nose was sore. That was it. That was why she wanted to escape from this inhumane home and worship any god!

She gritted her teeth and shouted, "What qualifications do you have to control me? Do you really love your wife and daughter?"

Snapped!
Dad slapped Ke Zi in the face with his backhand: "You talk back to Lin Bei, do you think you are filial?"

The tears that had been held back in Ke Zi's eyes burst out all at once. He felt so aggrieved that he had no place to vent. He trembled all over, turned around, rushed into his room and closed the door.

She must get a rank tomorrow! Anger and pain spread through her body. She lay on the bed, clutching the sheets tightly with both hands. Although she was in great pain, she showed an extremely strange smile on her face. Her eyeballs rolled around in her eye sockets irregularly, and a stream of blood flowed from her nose. Her body twisted automatically and sat up, and she formed the evil god seal with both hands: "Haha, hahaha, thank you for the mercy of the immortal, who saves all sentient beings who have suffered from calamity!"

After repeating this several times, her eyes rolled up and she fainted...

The quarrel outside the room was still going on, the sound of things being smashed could be heard constantly, and with a loud bang of the door slamming, Dad was about to walk out with a small package in his hand!

The mother grabbed a corner of the package tightly and said, "No, this is the last money I have. My daughter will need it in the future..."

Dad pulled hard, and the package broke apart. The gold ring and earrings inside fell out. He quickly lay on the ground and pounced on them like a dog, "Wait for me to make up for it. There will be no problem this time... There will be no problem at all."

Mom watched Dad leave, feeling extremely sad, and could only sit on the ground and cry silently...

The night deepens and the wind grows colder.

Gambler Ke was walking hurriedly on the road with dark circles under his eyes. He was going to a 24-hour casino in the town to make back his money! Little did he know that when he passed a bus stop, a figure walked out from the corner.

The dim light fell on the figure, revealing the appearance of Chen Qingyuan. His main mission target this time was A-Dai's senior, Ke Zi. He had to save her from death and then solve the problem.

After Chen Qingyuan came out of school, he followed the address sent by Ah Dai and caught up with Ke Zi. He also watched everything that happened in Ke Zi's house from beginning to end.

When he watched the movie, he only knew that Ke Zi's family had a gambling father, but he didn't expect it to be so serious. He had lost his humanity because of gambling...

This is a disease and requires strong medicine!

Chen Qingyuan tore off a piece of the lining and tied it on his face to cover his mouth and nose, picked up a mossy brick on the ground and followed...

Gambler Ke was immersed in the fantasy of making back his money, with a smile on his face.

"Gambling idiot Ke..."

In the dead of night, a cold voice suddenly called out from behind, instantly waking the gambler Ke out of his sweet dream. He froze, turned around mechanically, and stammered, "Who, who?"

I haven't seen who's coming yet.

He was kicked in the abdomen with such force that he almost kicked out the overnight rice.

The gambler Ke fell to the ground and rolled over several times. The gold jewelry he brought with him scattered on the ground. He widened his eyes and stretched out his hand with difficulty to try to get the things back...

boom!
He saw a pair of casual leather shoes stepping violently on the back of his hand, crushing and spinning it, causing him to feel so much pain that his nose was snotting and tears were coming out.

Chen Qingyuan, holding a brick, slowly squatted down, carefully sized up the gambler, and said with a click of the tongue: "Look at you, you are so ugly, it's worth it for us to set you up. It's so interesting... Giving up your family business, giving up your wife and children, not bad, not bad, I really hope that everyone in the world is this kind of idiot... Otherwise, where will the money come from?"

Making a game?

Gambler Ke's eyes were bloodshot. He was not stupid and immediately thought of the past: "You guys set up the game when I lost money?"

Chen Qingyuan slapped his thigh with some regret and said, "You made me so excited that I let it slip. But it's the same. You want to make money from us through gambling? Dream on! It's useless for you to know it now. You owe the casino so much money. Leave Wandao with the ship tonight. I will send you to the mountains on the other side of the ocean to mine. Don't struggle and don't cause trouble for yourself..."

Gambler Ke was terrified. If he left the island, would he be able to return alive? He immediately begged for mercy: "I was wrong. I will definitely work and pay back the money!"

Chen Qingyuan smashed his arm with a brick, controlling the force just right, and said with a smile: "You are so rude to answer before I finish my sentence!"
