Chapter 504: A Trip to Find Your Hometown
In the mountains and forests, Chu Hong lowered his head and carefully looked for herbs to reduce swelling and stasis in the grass.
But Lu Yuan's mind was not here at all, and he didn't care about the scars on his face or anything.
He ran around in the mountains and forests, looking here and there, hoping to think of something, for this world, he was like a newborn child, full of desire to understand the world, which was not only instinctive, but also some kind of invisible command deep in his heart.
After a while, he had already left Chu Hong far behind and disappeared.
I don't know when, he unknowingly reached the top of the mountain.
The scene in front of me is vast and far-reaching.
This is not an isolated mountain, this is a rolling mountain landscape surrounded by mountains, with mountains in the distance and a green carpet from here into the distance.
Lu Yuan stood on the top of the mountain, looking at the front of him for a long time, and slowly, his gaze dimmed.
He still couldn't think of anything.
The scene in front of me is so unfamiliar.
Disappointment, he slowly walked down the mountain.
It was different from running around and looking around when he went up the mountain, but now he just lowered his head, feeling inexplicably melancholy in his heart.
But suddenly, his heart moved.
It seems to see something out of the corner of the eye.
Something absolutely incompatible with this mountain forest hangs on a branch not far away.
As he got closer, Lu Yuan's face changed, and then, he almost couldn't hold back his vomiting.
It was a hand, a stump hanging on a low branch in a shocking way, hanging there with skin and flesh, the broken mouth was uneven, it looked like the severed hand was torn off from the body, and Lu Yuan seemed to be able to hear the scream at that time.
The blood had dried up, and spots of blood could be seen on the grass under the trees.
How can there be a severed limb in such an inaccessible place?
What's really going on here?
Who is the deceased?
Could it be someone from the Takeri Museum? That's not right, no one is missing in the museum.
Lu Yuan's eyes moved again, he carefully stretched out his hand, fiddled with the broken hand for a while, and carefully took off something, which was the bracelet on the severed limb.
The bracelet is black copper, which looks relatively quaint and seems to be a long time old.
Lu Yuan carefully put the bracelet on his wrist and gently stroked the bracelet, a kind of sadness welled up in his heart, he didn't know how much pain the owner of the bracelet had suffered in his life.
Then he took the severed hand off and buried it carefully.
Either way, it's safe to go into the ground.
"Fluttershy, Fluttershy!" Chu Hong's voice is heard in the distance.
Lu Yuan had no choice but to leave here in a hurry.
"Fluttershy, where have you been, I've got all the herbs, apply them quickly. Chu Hong put several herbs in her mouth and chewed them into a puree, and then applied them to Lu Yuan's face, her movements were very gentle and very careful, when she applied the medicine to Lu Yuan, she seemed to be engrossed, "Remember, you should try to stay away from Yu Yan in the future." I feel like she doesn't like you. ”
"She's like this, why don't you and Master Qingzhu leave her alone?" Lu Yuan said.
"It's not so easy to manage, Yu Yan's identity is not ordinary. ”
"Unusual identity?" Lu Yuan carefully tasted the meaning of this sentence.
"She's half an immortal. ”
"Immortal Clan?" Lu Yuan only felt as if something was shocked in his head, although he had never heard of this word, but as soon as he heard this word, he seemed to remember something.
"I heard that there was a woman from the fairy clan who came down and had a child with a mortal, and then the woman's family knew about it, killed the mortal, and took the fairy woman away, leaving only the child in the world, and the master raised her, which is Yu Yan. So, you'd better stay away from her, so that she can't see you and don't give her a chance to get you in trouble. ”
"Okay, I got it. Lu Yuan nodded.
Chu Hong smeared all the herbs on Lu Yuan, "Let's go, we should go back too, you just said that you want to see the master and ask her some questions, then I'll take you to meet her." ”
The two returned to the Zhuli Pavilion, and Chu Hong took Lu Yuan to meet Qingzhu.
"Fluttershy, what are you going to ask me?" Aotake asked.
"Master, I forgot where I came from, and I forgot who I am, can you tell me?" Lu Yuan didn't hide it, and asked everything he wanted to ask.
"You really don't remember?" Qingzhu stared at Lu Yuan carefully for a while, and sighed again, "Poor child, it must be that you encountered too many dangers on the way here, which is beyond your ability to bear, so you have amnesia, and this is not to blame you, after all, before you, no one has ever come here from you, I think if it wasn't for the necessity, you wouldn't have come, coming here from you must have been a very tortuous pass." It's no wonder you forget a lot of things. ”
"That's it, Chu Hong, during this time, you teach Fluttershy some self-defense exercises first, and when Fluttershy learns it, you can let her go back to her hometown to have a look, and maybe she will remember. ”
"Yes, Master. Chu Hong also looked very happy.
For the next period of time, Lu Yuan stayed in the Bamboo Pavilion and learned some basic exercises from Chu Hong.
Just like that, before I knew it, a month had passed.
"Okay, Fluttershy, you've been learning the exercises for more than a month, and although you won't be reborn, self-preservation will definitely not be a problem, and you will be more relieved to go back like this, Master, Chu Hong, you send Fluttershy out of the mountains. Qingzhu said.
"Yes, Master. ”
"Fluttershy, when you leave the mountains, you keep walking east, and you keep walking, until one day, you see a town, and you find the most dilapidated house in the town, and that's where you came from, and when you get there, you will remember everything you used to be. ”
At this time, Lu Yuan had already separated from Chu Hong.
He set out on his own on the path to the East.
When he left the Bamboo Pavilion, this passage of Master Qingzhu has been haunting his mind.
The path was really long, Lu Yuan didn't remember how long he had walked, maybe more than a dozen days and nights, in the past ten days, he walked from the undulating mountains to the flat plains, and finally one morning, a town really appeared in front of his eyes.
Plumes of morning smoke filled the town sky.
It looks like a very peaceful and relaxing town.
Lu Yuan's heart was also excited, will he be able to unravel his identity soon?
Although he can't remember his past at all, he always has a feeling that his identity is a great secret, and once he figures everything out, something big will definitely happen in this world.
Qingzhu said that his home is the most dilapidated house in this town.
Lu Yuan walked around the town and finally identified a thatched house in the southeast corner of the town, which was the most dilapidated and oldest house in the town.
The hut was low, there were only two of them, and there were some dilapidated clay pots piled up outside, as if they were uninhabited and abandoned.
Lu Yuan walked over slowly.
He only felt his heart, beating faster and faster.
Who could be in this hut?
Is it really possible to unravel your identity?
Lu Yuan was ruthless, and without hesitation, he stepped directly into the hut.
It was dark in front of him, after all, he had just come in from a bright place outside, but even if Lu Yuan got used to the light inside the hut, the room was still very dim.
The inside of the house is very simple, it can be said to be very simple, there is not a single decent piece of furniture, let alone furniture, there is not even a piece of wood in the whole room, only some simple pottery on the ground, some shabby bedding in the corner, and a pile of firewood in the middle.
But Lu Yuan's attention was focused on the futon, where an old man was sitting.
"Harahara, is that you, Harahara ......"
The old man suddenly turned to the door and looked at Lu Yuan.
"...... you" Lu Yuan looked at the old man carefully, hoping to dig out something familiar in his memory, but he was disappointed, there was nothing, and he didn't know this old man.
"Come to Grandma's place and let Grandma touch it. The old man moved on the futon and said eagerly.
Although he didn't know her, Lu Yuan didn't resist this request, after all, he came here to find the answer, and if he was closer, he might be able to find out something.
Got closer.
Lu Yuan was surprised to find that the old man's eyes could not see.
I can't help but feel some sympathy in my heart, this old man's living environment is so poor, and his eyes can't see, how can he live.
"Ah, you, you're not the original...... Your wrist is a little thicker than Yuan Yuan's......" As soon as the old man touched Lu Yuan's hand, he immediately shuddered.
Lu Yuan's heart sank all of a sudden.
"No, no, you're the original yuan, you really are the original yuan...... Ah, Yuanyuan, my Yuanyuan ......" At this time, the old man's hand, I don't know when he touched the bracelet on Lu Yuan's wrist again, as soon as he touched the bracelet, the old man's tears fell all of a sudden, and he hugged Lu Yuan tightly and cried, "Ah, Yuanyuan, you are fatter than before, you must have gone to Master Qingzhu, Master Qingzhu must have taken you in, you have eaten well these days, so you are fat, great, child, you can finally live a good life in the future, you have followed your grandmother all these years, and you have really suffered hardships......" The old man muttered as he rubbed the bracelet on Lu Yuan's wrist, "Good boy, you still keep this bracelet......"
When Lu Yuan heard this, he didn't understand what the old man was talking about at first.
But suddenly, his head buzzed, and it seemed that everything was understood all at once!
The severed hand in the forest.
A severed hand with a bracelet.
Lu Yuan only felt dizzy, and he almost didn't stand still, and it took him a while to stabilize his mind.
The old man was sure that he was the original because of the bracelet, so the owner of the severed hand was the original one, which means that the person the old man had been concerned about was dead!
And the old man also said that he went to Yuan Yuan to find Master Qingzhu.
And Master Qingzhu also let himself come here to find answers.
Therefore, Master Qingzhu should have thought of himself as the girl named Harahara from this town, and the real girl had been killed in the mountains and forests, and he happened to appear in the Takerikan at that time, so he was mistaken for Harahara.
Of course, Master Qingzhu must not have seen Harahara either, she may just know that there is a girl from this town who went to the Bamboo Pavilion to apprentice.
What she didn't know was that the girl had an accident halfway, and she happened to appear in the Bamboo Pavilion for some reason.
"Yuan Yuan, why don't you speak, you call grandma, you don't resent grandma, if it weren't for those things, grandma wouldn't bear to let you leave." The old man hugged Lu Yuan and cried.
Lu Yuan stood there stupidly, his mind was full of the severed hand hanging on the branch.
It was a girl's hand, he could imagine that a girl who was forced to leave her hometown for unknown reasons, walked for more than a dozen days and nights, overcame many hardships and obstacles, and finally came to the mountains of the Bamboo Pavilion, she gritted her teeth and persevered, seeing that she was about to arrive at the Bamboo Pavilion, as a result, the tragedy happened, she died, and the death was still so miserable.
Perhaps the moment before the tragedy, there was still a joy in the girl's heart that was about to arrive.
Thinking of this, Lu Yuan's heart felt very painful.
Although he had nothing to do with the death of the girl named Yuan Yuan, this series of events made Lu Yuan always feel that he was involved with that girl.
"Grandma'......"
Lu Yuan gently hugged the blind old man.
This old man is pitiful enough, Lu Yuan doesn't want her to know that his granddaughter has been killed, if he tells her the truth, I'm afraid the old man won't be able to suffer such a huge blow, and it is likely to be ......
"Harahara, your voice has changed......
"Grandma, I came all the way from Master Qingzhu, I was so tired, my voice was hoarse, grandma, don't worry, Master Qingzhu is very good to me, and the sisters inside are very good to me, Master Qingzhu also named me Fluttershy......"
"Ah, great, Master Qingzhu is a fairy, the fairy named his disciple, that is, it is officially recognized, I, I will burn incense for Master Qingzhu every day in the future, Fluttershy, this name is so good, just like you when you were a child, you are like a butterfly, so beautiful......"
The old man was muttering when suddenly there was another noise at the door.
"Ah, it's Juju who is back, Juju, your sister has come to see us, you come in quickly. The old man shouted happily.
Lu Yuan's heart sank in an instant.
It's over, who would have thought that poor girl would have a sister?
At this time, Lu Yuan knew that he could no longer hide it.
He turned around, and the girl in front of him, only thirteen or fourteen years old, although the clothes on her body were tattered, she still couldn't hide the handsomeness and aura on her face.
Thirteen or fourteen-year-old girls have entered puberty, and the childishness of girls is gradually decreasing, and there is more of a vigorous and upward feeling of a girl.
"Grandma, you say, sister, sister......" The girl's big black eyes looked at Lu Yuan in a daze, and she was a little stunned for a while.
"Yes, Yuan Yuan came back to see us, hurry up and call my sister, you haven't known each other for a month, haven't you been saying that you miss your sister......" Although the old man was urging, his tone was full of happiness.
The girl was still a little puzzled, but when her eyes moved to Lu Yuan's wrist and saw the bracelet, her big eyes, which were still calm, were filled with tears almost instantly.
At that moment, she seemed to finally understand something.
Her eyes were completely on the bracelet on Lu Yuan's wrist, as if they had been nailed to it, her tears were broken, and her cheeks dripped out with a snap, her mouth opened wide, as if she wanted to cry desperately, but she was covered by her hands, her emotions were very emotional and sad, and her whole body was twitching because of crying.
However, she didn't make a sound.
That kind of silent and violent crying, Lu Yuan felt that he would never forget it for the rest of his life.
"What's the matter, you kid, you don't call me sister, grandma is angry!"
Although he was crying, he didn't make a sound, so of course the old man didn't know what was going on.
"Sister, sister, you're finally back, I miss you so much, sister, you eat better than before, you've grown a little fatter than before......"
Finally, Juju spoke, her voice was a little coquettish, and she didn't hear anything unusual at all, but when she said these words, Lu Yuan still saw that her tears were still flowing wantonly.
"Okay, you two sisters go talk about your heart, remember, don't let outsiders see it, if someone sees Yuan Yuan coming back, it won't be good. After the old man finished speaking, a satisfied smile appeared on his face.
Lu Yuan didn't dare to delay longer, and hurriedly left the grass hut with a moment.
Because he knew that even if he stayed in the grass hut for another minute, he might not be able to control the moment anymore.
After all, she's only thirteen or fourteen years old.
Outside, by the creek, water meadows.
"Sister!"
The girl knelt on the ground, crying like her liver and intestines were broken, and her tears condensed into a stream on the ground, slowly flowing into the river, that kind of pain, Lu Yuan couldn't bear to look at it.
Although he didn't know what the relationship between the dead girl and the girl was, but think about it, the two sisters and a blind grandmother depend on each other, and the sisters must help each other to take care of the grandmother, and the relationship between the two should be much closer than that of sisters in other families.
Lu Yuan didn't comfort her, nor did he stop her.
Just let her cry.
That's it, I don't know how long it has been.
The girl was finally tired and cried dry, and she sat down by the river, staring straight at the river, not knowing what she was thinking.
Lu Yuan finally took off the bracelet and brought it to the girl.
His heart was heavy.
"Sister, you are dead, what does it mean that I am still in this world, you said, when I go to Master Qingzhu to learn my skills, I will come back to visit me, take care of me, protect me, and now that you are gone, who else will take care of me, there are so many bad people in the world......" The girl murmured.
"Don't be afraid, I'll take care of you, in the future, you will treat me as your sister, and in the future, my sister will take care of you and protect you! Sister swears, no one will ever bully you in the future!" Lu Yuan gently hugged the girl.
When he finished saying this, somehow, a familiar sense of power suddenly welled up in his heart, as if he had said such things before.
