Chapter 32: Memories (1)
Grandpa's words made me unable to calm down, what Sun Shiqi's past was like, only she knew how difficult it was to make a person forget the past.
"This kid has too much hatred in her heart, so her shadow spirit can't be calm, and she can't find the password?" said Grandpa.
"You don't mean to wait for her to forget the past. "I'm a little uneasy.
"Well, time can make her forget the past. ”
"How long will it take!" I said, a little disappointed.
"Maybe a few years, maybe a lifetime. "Grandpa's words made me even more disappointed.
"Is there any other way to make her forget the past soon?" I asked, looking at my grandfather.
There are two ways, one is to go back to her past and resolve her hatred, and the other is to give her warmth and let her accelerate the forgetting of her past hatred. ”
"Go back in time, Grandpa, how can you go back in time?" I asked, confused.
"Enter the Shadow Realm and go back through the Shadow Power. Grandpa looked at me and said.
"What?" I looked at Grandpa with wide eyes, "Can the Shadow Realm travel through time and space?"
"Yes. ”
I was overwhelmed by Grandpa's words, was it true that the time travel was real? I always thought it was all filmed on TV to fool people.
"Then grandpa, can you cross it too?"
"I can't, my shadow power can't be reached, I can't enter the shadow domain, if you want to enter the shadow domain, you need to have a strong shadow power in the shadow spirit, and if you can enter the shadow domain, you can basically be regarded as an immortal. ”
"According to what you mean, the immortals are all shadows. ”
"The immortals have awakened the shadow spirit, and then increased their cultivation, and when the shadow power reaches a very strong level, they can freely travel between the shadow realm and the present world, and the form and shadow body can reach the level of immortality. ”
Those immortal cultivators are all awakening the shadow spirit to cultivate shadow power, I thought to myself.
"Then there is another way to give Sun Shiqi warmth, how to give the law!" I asked stupidly.
"Hehe, knock, that's what you young people call love. Grandpa said with a smile.
"Love" I gasped and gave Sun Shiqi love, so don't I have to ask for my own hardship?
"Grandpa, I have one last question, who is the shadow we are worshipping in the back hut?" I looked at Grandpa and hoped he would give me an answer.
"You'll know when you see it later, I can't tell you now. Grandpa said mysteriously.
"Knock knock, don't tell anyone to know today, remember? If you let others know, then that girl will have a lot of trouble, you have to do your best to protect her and let her find the password? Help you untie the Shadow Chain, don't let our Xian clan break its roots. Grandpa said a little excitedly.
"Well, grandpa, don't worry, I'll find a way. "Although I said this, I still didn't know the bottom in my heart, I couldn't beat her in a fight, and if I met the man in black, I guess I wouldn't be able to protect her with my current skills.
"Grandpa, can you cast a shadow chain on Sun Shiqi as well? Don't let others be able to control her anymore, and how can you set a password for your own shadow?" I thought about what to do if the man in black came again, I had to find a way to protect her first.
"It's not difficult, but I'm afraid that if I cast a spell on him, she won't be able to unlock it herself, the shadow code, as long as the shadow spirit is awakened, it will be generated by itself, this is not something that people can set. Grandpa explained.
"You cast a spell on her first, and then unravel it if you need to, otherwise if she is controlled, then I will not be able to save her. ”
Grandpa nodded.
"By the way, grandpa, don't tell her about casting spells, I'm afraid she has a shadow in her heart or something. I smiled and said to my grandfather, in fact, I was afraid that my grandfather would accidentally expose my previous lies.
Grandpa nodded again.
"Go and call your grandfather and your daughter in. Grandpa said.
I hummed and walked out of the house to let Grandpa and Sun Shiqi enter the house and sit down.
"Girl, you have been controlled, you reach out, let me see if there are still their shadows on your body?" said to Grandpa Tai with a smile at Sun Shiqi.
Sun Shiqi hesitated, looked at me, and then stretched out his hand to his grandfather and put it on his grandfather's hand, who closed his eyes as if thinking about something, only to see Sun Shiqi shiver and retract his hand from his grandfather's hand.
Grandpa opened his eyes, looked at Sun Shiqi, and said, "It's okay, girl." ”
Sun Shiqi wanted to say something, but she didn't say it, her expression hesitated.
"Girl, what do you want to ask?" said Grandpa Tai, looking at Sun Shiqi.
"Grandpa, I want to ask, is there still the shadow spirit of the man in black on Xian Dongdong's body?"
My head buzzed, and I was very nervous, if my grandfather said no, the teasing of Sun Shiqi that day would be revealed, and Sun Shiqi would not cripple me.
The sweat on my forehead seeped out slightly, I looked at my grandfather, and silently thought in my heart, don't say it's leaky, grandpa, my life depends on you.
Grandpa looked at my embarrassed appearance, as if he understood something, looked at Sun Shiqi and said:
"Knock knock, it's fine. ”
Sun Shiqi stared at me, and I said a little nervously.
"Grandpa helped me take out the shadow spirit of the man in black, don't worry. ”
Grandpa and grandpa both looked at me and didn't speak, Sun Shiqi looked at me and said:
"Oh, that's good. ”
My hanging heart finally let go, it seems that Sun Shiqi was temporarily blindfolded by me.
"Grandpa, let's go out for a while, I want to go up the mountain to see, I haven't come back to climb the mountain for a long time. "I'm going to get off the hook.
"Go ahead, I'm tired, your second grandfather will send me home to rest in a while, knock knock, you have time to come to see me these days, I still want to talk to you." Grandpa looked at me and said.
"Okay, I'll go see you. We said goodbye to Grandpa and went home with Grandpa.
It's already eleven o'clock, the sun is shining today, there are a few floating clouds in the sky dotted with blue sky, although the sun in winter is not very warm, but it is still warm on people. Along the way, grandpa walked in the front, Sun Shiqi was in the middle, and I was at the end, Sun Shiqi kept her head down and thought about something.
Walking on the road in the village, a few dogs barking could be heard from time to time, Sun Shiqi suddenly raised his head and asked:
"Grandpa, why don't you have a dog at home, that way you can prevent thieves!"
"I used to keep it, but then I died, and your grandmother was so sad that she stopped keeping dogs. Grandpa replied with a smile.
"Oh. Sun Shiqi lowered her head again and walked behind her grandfather.
How can I know Sun Shiqi's past first, I thought to myself, I can't ask Sun Shiqi directly, ask my mother, she should know something, but how to ask that, I can't tell my mother what my grandfather told me.
I followed Sun Shiqi all the way, thinking about how to understand Sun Shiqi's past, looking at her back, I thought to myself, what kind of hatred do you have in your heart that can't be dissolved.
Suddenly, Sun Shiqi's footsteps stopped, I hit Sun Shiqi's head head, Sun Shiqi stumbled forward and almost fell, I rubbed my head and hurriedly said, "I'm sorry, I didn't notice you stopped." ”
Sun Shiqi rubbed the back of her head with her hands, seeing that I didn't speak, as if in a daze, she suddenly said:
"Xian Dong Dong, did Grandpa cast a spell on me just now, I was tight just now, as if I was tied up by something, is that a shadow chain?"
Sun Shiqi's words made me stunned, can she sense it?
"Grandpa Tai, just look at the shadow spirit of the man in black on you? don't think about it. "I concealed the matter of casting spells, and I didn't want Sun Shiqi to feel a burden on my heart.
"Oh, did Grandpa take out the shadow spirit of the man in black? I wish Grandpa would use a shadow chain for me, so that no one else can control me. Sun Shiqi's words made me look at a loss, I might as well tell the truth.
"Well, it should be, let's go, grandpa is far away. I patted Sun Shiqi, who was still thinking, and hurried to chase after my grandfather, and Sun Shiqi also caught up behind.
Back in the yard of my grandfather's house, my grandmother was preparing lunch with my mother, and my father went out to visit relatives, and I said to Sun Shiqi.
"Hey, if you want to climb the mountain, just climb this hill covered with bamboo forests behind grandpa's house, there is a small pavilion on the mountain, and you can see the scenery of the whole village. ”
Sun Shiqi glanced at me, and then looked at the mountain behind me, with a thoughtful expression.
"Let's take a look, Kiki, it's nice to look down from the pavilion on the mountain, this mountain is not high, just come back before dinner." Mom said suddenly.
"That, okay!" Sun Shiqi nodded at her mother.
"Knock knock, you and Kiki be careful, come back early. Mom admonished.
"Let's go, don't be so awkward, it's not like you at all. I said to Sun Shiqi with a smile and walked out the door. Sun Shiqi followed behind with her head bowed, like a wronged little daughter-in-law.
We went around my grandfather's house and through several houses to the foot of the mountain, and now the road to the pavilion has been made of stone slabs, and it is much easier to walk.
I turned my head to look at Sun Shiqi, she still looked a little distracted, and I walked up to her.
"What are you thinking about, keeping your head down all the way?"
"I'm thinking about what your grandfather said to me. She whispered.
"What did my grandpa say to you. ”
"Your grandfather told me a few things about you when you were in the yard when I was in the yard. Sun Shiqi looked up at me, her eyes full of doubt.
"Ah, didn't Grandpa tell you about my troubles when I was a child? "I'm a little drumming in my heart, I'm afraid that my grandfather will talk too much, which will affect my image in Sun Shiqi's heart.
"That's not it, grandpa said you were kidnapped when you were a child. Sun Shiqi looked at me with wide eyes.
"Oh, that's right, it's not dangerous, grandpa got me back. "I listened to Sun Shiqi say this, I was relieved, it was just the past when I was a child.
"Let's go up the mountain, or we won't be able to come back when we don't eat. "I started to walk up the mountain, and Sun Shiqi followed.
"Do you remember how you were kidnapped?" Sun Shiqi was going to ask me to tell me about the past, and I thought about it.
"You want to hear this?"
"Hmm. Sun Shiqi nodded and replied.
I thought for a moment and began to tell her about what had happened that summer.
That was a long time ago, in the summer when I was six years old, my parents were going out on errands and put me in my grandfather's house.
One afternoon, I was playing in the yard with my grandmother's little yellow dog, and the little yellow dog was so smart that you could direct him to take things, and I found a little branch and threw it around in the yard, and the little yellow dog went around and picked it up for me.
There was a small van selling groceries in the village, and I went out with my little yellow dog to see it, and many children went to see the toys in the van.
Everyone wanted to buy but no one had the money, so they all ran home to find an adult to get the money, at that time I was left alone to look at the toys, I didn't fancy any toys at the time, the toys in the car were not as good as my home, and when I was about to go home, my little yellow dog suddenly seemed to see something, baring his teeth and making a whirring sound.
I looked into the car and saw nothing, the seller came down, it was a man and a woman, I thought it was a reaction of the little yellow dog to see the living person, and kicked it.
But the little yellow dog bit my trouser leg and told me to go, I didn't understand what it meant, and I saw that the man and the woman didn't look like some bad guys, just cleaning up the children's messy toys.
The woman came over and waved at the little yellow dog, as if she was going to hit it, and the little yellow dog ran away. I was still laughing at how the little yellow dog was so timid.
Suddenly the man picked me up behind me, covered my mouth with a towel, and I didn't know anything, they carried me into the car and drove away. In a daze, I heard the little yellow dog shouting and chasing after the car.
I talked to Sun Shiqi about the past, and soon climbed to the position of the pavilion, the mountain is not very high, but from the pavilion you can see the scenery of the whole village, there is a small river passing through the village, basically every house is covered with three or four stories of small buildings, staggered and orderly, just like a pastoral landscape painting.
"Then what happened later?" asked Sun Shiqi, looking at me.
"Later, I was found by my grandfather. "I picked up a piece of bamboo on the ground and threw it into the distance.
"Grandpa said that I was kidnapped by human traffickers, and grandpa found me in the nearby county. I stretched out my arms in the pavilion to breathe in the scent of bamboo.
"Did you have a few dots on your chest at the time? Sun Shiqi stared at me as if she knew something.
"This grandfather also told you that there are a few black spots on the left chest, like a snowflake, which I found when I went home to take a bath.
Then the black dot disappeared on its own. ”
Sun Shiqi found a bamboo stick and drew a snowflake on the ground.
"Is that so?"
I tilted my head and looked,
"It seems like that's pretty much it. ”
"Knock, I also have a few black dots on my left chest that look like this. ”
I gasped,
"Are you also kidnapped by human traffickers? I looked at Sun Shiqi's frightened eyes and asked
"Not a human trafficker, I've had it since I was a kid. ”
