Chapter 4: Where to Go From Here
It's more than halfway through the night
"Can't I do it, can I just watch Tian'er become a stranger, and let him die and not rest in peace, but that face, how can I do it. Liang Jiu sat on the bed, his back against the wall, and his heart was constantly entangled.
"Asked him to come to dinner, thinking about giving him some medicine in the meal, but when I saw that face, I..." Liang Jiu leaned against the wall, closed his eyes, tears slowly slipped from the corners of his eyes, but no one saw him outside the window, a young man looked at him quietly.
"Who the hell am I, am I who have taken over this body and made him so sad? The boy saw through the window the tears that had slipped down.
"Is it true that if I give him back my body, he won't be sad?" muttered the boy as he reached out and looked at his own.
"Little guy, the heart is not bad. Suddenly, there was a strong smell of smoke behind the boy.
"Ahem, you're the old man at noon today. The boy turned to look at the old man who was smoking.
"You can call me the village chief, or the old yellow head, like them. The old man who smoked slowly took out a puff of cigarette and said to the young man with a smile.
"Village chief?" the young man looked at the old man suspiciously.
"Well, yes, come with me and see if I can find out where you're from. The old man took a puff of cigarette with his cigarette stick, turned around and walked slowly forward.
"You say, can you find out where I came from?" the young man trotted two steps and followed the old man.
"I don't know, but I can give it a try. ”
"Shall I leave, then?"
"Since he didn't do anything to you today, you can be right here. ”
"Am I having amnesia?"
"I don't know. ”
“......”
“......”
The young man followed the old man, and the two of them talked as they walked, and they came to a clearing.
"Alright, here it is, sit cross-legged. ”
The old man looked up at the starry sky, and the cigarette stick gestured in the air, and pointed to the grass in front of him.
"Oh, good. The young man nodded and sat down cross-legged where the old man was pointing.
"The stars fall in the sky, and the present goes back to the past, and the stars are open. ”
After finishing speaking, I saw a star falling from the sky, very dazzling, but the people in the village didn't notice it, only Liang Jiu, who was sitting on the bed, looked up in this direction, but ignored it.
The young man looked up, only to see that the stars fell on the old man, and the old man instantly turned white, and the old man looked particularly sacred in the starlight, and finally all the starlight converged into the old man's left eye.
The black pupil of the old man's left eye turned into a blue five-pointed star, and there were bits of starlight shining in it, as if countless stars were hidden in it.
"Strange, how can this be?"
Through the observation of his left eye, the old man found that the young man sitting cross-legged on the grass did not change anything, it was very ordinary, like a blank piece of paper, and it was over the moment when the young man woke up from the coffin.
The starlight in the old man's left eye slowly dissipated, and he looked at the young man sitting cross-legged in front of him with great difference.
"How is it, is it over?" the young man asked, looking up as the old man's eyes returned to normal.
"Well, it's over. The old man nodded.
"Then do you know who I am?" the young man quickly got up, ran to the old man's side, looked at the old man with wide eyes and asked.
"If it weren't for you in front of me, just looking at the state of your soul, I would have suspected that you were a newborn baby. "Unlike being erased, the soul of a teenager is as pure as if he had just been born.
But the young man in front of him can speak well, and he has basic common sense and everything, so he can sit cross-legged and know what he is doing, which is obviously not the state of a newborn state, and it can be traced back to the cave and stopped.
"Weird, weird. The old man picked up the cigarette stick on his waist, took a deep breath, and said slowly while spitting out the cigarette.
"Didn't you find it?" the boy lowered his head, his bright eyes darkening.
"Well, let's go, go back with me first. The old man sighed, looked at the slightly lit sky, and slowly shook his head.
"Oh. ”
"Liang Jiu, this child will continue to live in your house in the future, and you will take care of this child. ”
The old man took the young man to see the door of Liang Jiu's house, and at this time Liang Jiu was already standing at the door looking at the old man and the young man in front of him.
"No, he's not a genius. As soon as the old man finished speaking, Liang Jiu shook his head and refused.
"Then he is not a member of our village, I will send him out of the village and let him leave here alone?" The old man took a breath and blinked his small eyes that had already narrowed together, looked at Liang Jiu and said.
“。。。。 , you can..."Liang Jiu was silent for a while and said slowly.
"Well, then I'll send him out and leave him to fend for himself, maybe he didn't go far, and he might be eaten by something, boy, let's go. The old man shook his head and sighed, pulled the young man to turn around and walked towards the entrance of the village.
Village
"Boy, there's no way, wait a while, if he comes, it means that he accepts you, you can stay, if he doesn't come, it means that he can't accept it, it may be dangerous for you to stay, you have to leave." The old man looked at the young man beside him, took a puff of cigarette with a cigarette stick, and said.
"I, where am I going?" the young man looked up at the old man.
"I don't know, but it can't be right here. The old man glanced at the empty road behind him and shook his head.
A quarter of an hour later
"Alright, looks like it's time for you to go. The old man took out a small burden from behind him.
"There's some food here, and some money, so take it and go." ”
"Won't that uncle be sad if I'm gone?" asked the young man, looking up at the old man.
"Maybe, I don't know. The old man took a puff of his cigarette and handed the little burden to the young man.
"Okay, then I'm leaving. The boy took the burden, nodded, turned and walked out of the village.
After a pillar of incense
"He's gone. ”
Liang Jiu appeared behind the old man, outside the old man's village.
"Well, let's go. The old man looked at Liang Jiu, whose eyes turned red in front of him, and nodded.
"How long have you been gone?"
"What do you say?" the old man asked rhetorically, without answering.
"He's not Tian'er, isn't he?" Liang Jiu said as he stared at the old man.
"It's not. The old man replied.
"I didn't ask him to return Tian'er to me, it's already very merciful, isn't it?"
"That's right. The old man nodded.
"No, I'm going to find him, I'm going to find him, when he dies, I'm going to talk about Tian'er's body and bring it back, that body is still Tian'er's, isn't it?" Liang Jiu looked at the old man and said excitedly.
"Yes, although he is not a small day, his body is. The old man looked at Liang Jiu, whose eyes were red and his nose was panting, slowly took a puff of cigarette and nodded.
