Volume 1 Chapter 4: Disaster Star?
"Auntie, I'm back. ”
Nebula walked into the house with a big grin.
Ah Niang heard Xingyun's voice, and couldn't wait to rush out, hugged Xingyun in her arms, and cried bitterly: "Xingyun, are you okay, where have you been, why don't you go home, A-Niang is so worried about you, do you know that when I heard the stone they said that you were chased by a black bear, my heart was about to break......"
A-Niang's concerned words kept talking, but Xingyun secretly enjoyed it, is this what it feels like to be at home? Xingyun couldn't help but think of that little girl, maybe she regarded herself as a relative That's why she was like that.
"Come, let A-Niang see if you are hurt. A-Niang carefully inspected every inch of Xingyun's body.
"Auntie, I'm fine, don't you see I'm fine. Nebula reassured.
"You kid, don't go home early if you're fine, your father looked for you last night, and it's early this morning. Ah Niang nodded Xingyun's forehead with some seriousness.
"Well, isn't there some special reason? ”
"What is the reason?"
"Eh, it's okay, Auntie, I'll ask you a question. ”
Ah Niang was also in a good mood when she saw that Xingyun had returned intact, and said, "What is the question, Xingyun, you ask, Ah Niang knows that she will definitely tell you." ”
Xingyun wanted to ask her directly if she knew about the little girl, but thinking of the girl's panicked appearance when she saw someone, he turned his mouth and asked, "Ah Niang, what is the ominous thing on the top of Mount Asahi that is rumored in the village?"
Ah Niang did not answer immediately as Xingyun expected, but was silent for a long time before saying: "You will know about this matter sooner or later, and it doesn't hurt for Ah Niang to tell you now." ”
"A few years ago, there was a couple in the village, and they loved each other in every way. ”
Ah Niang didn't say it immediately, but told a story.
Later, his wife became pregnant, and after ten months of pregnancy, she was finally about to give birth to her, and according to the village rules, every child who was about to die had to perform a vow and ask the gods for protection. ”
And when this child first came into the world, the stars of the North and South Dipper in the sky disappeared into the sky at the same time, and the oath ceremony actually failed, and the power of the oath and the instrument of the divine worship were actually damaged. ”
The child was thus seen as a scourge, and his parents were left behind by the blame of the village. ”
"At first, there was nothing, but during those three months, the couple would often see some strange things shifting, then some strange noises, and when walking, they would bump into something from time to time, and the prepared food would disappear unconsciously, but they didn't notice the slightest abnormality......"
The husband and wife thought that this must be the punishment of the gods, so they secretly abandoned the girl into the mountains, and the next day secretly left the village to escape the punishment of the gods. ”
Nebula finally knew that the little girl might be their daughter.
The story is not over yet, Ah Niang continued: "Everyone thought that the girl who was only three months old was going to die. It wasn't until two years ago that someone saw a little girl in a straw coat walking in the woods on the top of the mountain. ”
The man thought it was the little girl who had come back in the form of a ghost, and demanded his life from them, so frightened that he ran down the mountain without looking back, and was seriously ill for three days. ”
Later, in order to find out the truth, he and the villagers went to the top of the mountain again, and this time they saw the little girl again, and realized that the baby girl, who was only three months old, had not died, but had survived in the mountain. ”
"The survival of the Calamity Star made the elders of the village affirm that only by destroying the Calamity Star can the village be stable and not be punished by the gods. So the adults decided to kill the girl with their own hands for the sake of the peace of the village. ”
"Huh?" exclaimed Nebula when he heard this. He finally knew why the girl was so afraid of him.
She was actually ......
It stands to reason that she should hate everyone, so why would she save him?
The people of the village chased her for three days and three nights, and every time they tried to catch her, she always miraculously escaped, and she was never found after the last escape, so the adults had to give up and return to the village. ”
After A-Niang finished the whole story, Xingyun felt very uncomfortable.
A person who was abandoned by her parents and didn't know how to grow up was actually chased and killed by a group of people, it is hard to imagine that she ...... How hard it is to live.
A-Niang threw out another thunderclap: "Speaking of which, her parents are still friends with your father, and you still have a baby kiss." ”
"What!" Nebula yelled in confusion.
If you don't want to be so bloody, this kind of thing can happen to him.
Ah Niang thought that Xingyun was frightened because the object of his doll was a disaster star, and hurriedly comforted: "Xingyun, don't be afraid, this doll kiss has long been uncountable, you don't need to be afraid." ”
Xingyun just felt that this kind of thing happened to him and felt bizarre, and thinking of that little girl, Xingyun felt uncomfortable again.
Was their encounter fate? or should I say it was all providence?
Seeing that Xingyun had calmed down, A-Niang said, "Since you are back, your father must not know yet, I will go and inform him, Xingyun, you should prepare for tonight's divine worship." ”
"Tonight is the Divine Ceremony?" Xingyun asked suspiciously, he was unconscious and didn't know the time, he didn't expect to arrive so soon.
"Xingyun, tell A-Niang well, have you been frightened by that black bear, how can you even forget the biggest event in the village. ”
A-Niang's worries were purely superfluous, Nebula was not only very good, but also alive, and the only wound was also healed by that magical resin. I don't know what that resin is, but it has such a miraculous effect.
The shrine is the annual day of the village to worship the gods, and it is the biggest day in the village, except for the oath ceremony, this day is the largest.
Seeing A-Niang's worried look, Xingyun said, "A-Niang, don't worry, I'm not jumping around?"
"That's good, that's good. Ah Niang relieved her heart, "In this case, I will inform your father, go and talk to the stones and trees, lest they worry about you, and they will blame themselves for the black bear." ”
"Auntie, I know. ”
After A-Niang left, Xingyun also followed out and came to the stone next door.
"Stone, stone. ”
Hearing Nebula's call, an alert figure ran out.
"Wow, Nebula, you're alright! Great!" Stone happily gave Nebula a hug.
The concern between men, there is no need to say much, nothing more is enough.
The stone patted Xingyun's shoulder heavily, and said, "You don't know, I'm almost worried to death, you haven't come back all night, I thought I thought I was ......"
As the stone spoke, tears welled up in his eyes.
Seeing this, Xingyun slapped him on the shoulder and said, "What is the crying of the old man, isn't it okay for me to come back." ”
The stone was still strong, and he stopped crying and wiped away the tears from the corners of his eyes.
"Okay, I'll go tell the big tree, and the rest of him is worried about me. ”
Nebula said goodbye to the stone and went to find the tree.
"Hey, you're Nebula. ”
On the way, a little girl saw Nebula and exclaimed.
Xingyun looked at the little girl and said, "It turned out to be Liyue, just right, do you know where the big tree is?"
Lianyue exhaled deeply and said, "You're okay, Brother Big Tree?" he seems to be in the pasture to the east of the village. ”
"Grassland?
Nebula said goodbye to Retsuki with doubts.
"Well, it's different. "If you call Da Shu, you will call Brother Da Shu, and if you call him by name, if you want to say that the two of them have no special relationship, you don't believe it if you kill him.
In the midst of the complaints, Nebula soon came to the pasture.
Here, a seven-year-old boy is shooting three arrows at a scarecrow fifty meters away.
The three arrows are impartial and hit the scarecrow.
"Good archery!"
Nebula clapped his hands and applauded.
The big tree turned around and saw Nebula's arrival, and said with some surprise: "Nebula, you're back!"
"You seem to know I'm going to be fine?" Xingyun didn't see worry on the big tree's face, but looked so happy.
The big tree said: "I know you won't die. ”
Although Dashu's words are simple, they express his steadfastness and trust in him.
"You're practicing archery?"
Taishu nodded: "Well, if my original arrow could have been stabilized, this kind of thing wouldn't have happened." ”
Nebula was very moved.
"Don't practice, if you're tired, how can you participate in the evening worship. Nebula said.
Big tree squinted his eyes and smiled, "Okay." ”
The two returned to the village side by side.
"Xiao Xingyun, it's great that you're back safely!" Back in the village, a bearded old man walked up, hugged him, kissed him and kissed him, and said happily.
"Mane, you put me down first, I'm fine. Nebula desperately resisted the old man's beard that was shaving his cheeks out of intimacy.
Although he is physically a child, he is still an adult at heart, and he is still a little resistant to this childlike behavior.
"It's okay, it's okay. Mane looked at Nebula kindly, and reluctantly put him down.
Mane was the old man of the village, and his children had left early, and he was left alone, and he regarded all the children in the village as his own children, and loved each of them.
"Nebula, you're fine, the stone scared the hell out of me. A woman saw the intimacy between Mane and Nebula, and walked over and said softly.
"It's Aunt Tao, I'm sorry to worry you. Nebula said apologetically.
"It's Little Nebula, he's back. ”
"Look, it's a little nebula, he's fine. ”
"Little Nebula is back! ”
......
All of a sudden, the people of the village gathered around. The chatter is non-stop, but it shows care.
Nebula enjoys the feeling, and this care is the most unpretentious.
The white-haired girl came to his mind again, but what about her, and who cared about her?
