Chapter 3: The Disaster of the Village
The cold wind was still bitter. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
The house at the edge of the village still seemed lonely, the lamp on the table in the room was not lit, and the old woman in the darkness had already cried red eyes, and now she waited quietly in the faint moonlight that fell from the rooftop, remembering......
The environment is the same, but it has lost its loved ones, and it seems that there is no possibility of change. Who knows the pain in the old woman's heart?
"Mother!" With a loud call, the young man pushed open the door and walked in with a large bag of food on his back.
The old woman's heart was shocked, she looked up and saw that it was the young man, she couldn't believe her eyes, many pictures flashed in her mind, but she never thought of this unexpected situation, and suddenly got up and was surprised and happy: "Qi'er, is it really you?" ”
"Mother! It's me. Li Tianqi" The young man put the package on the table, hugged the old woman and cried bitterly.
"Mother thought she would never see you again." Mother Li wiped her tears and said.
"Mother, it's okay. I just said it's okay. Li Tianqi grinned and said, "Ji people have their own natural appearance. ”
Mother Li lit the lamp and looked at Li Tianqi carefully.
"Mother will bring you a piece of clothing." Mother Li turned around and took the dress from the bedside that she had touched I don't know how many times.
Li Tianqi opened the package on the table and filled the table with the food inside.
"Mother, these are all good things, we can't eat them all year round. I took it from the temple, and if I don't eat it, it will spoil. Anyway, no one dared to go during this time. ”
Li Tianqi took the clothes and said while putting them on.
Mother Li tore off a piece of chicken leg with both hands, but handed it to Li Tianqi, "Qi'er." You eat too. Hungry for a day. ”
"Mother, I've eaten, you sit down, eat slowly, I'll tell you."
Li Tianqi asked his mother to sit on a stool and told her what had happened from beginning to end.
"The appearance of that mountain god is really terrifying, and it is disgusting saliva." Li Tianqi said vividly, "Although it is disgusting, I have finally seen the appearance of an immortal, just a bad immortal." ”
Li Tianqi poured a glass of water, drank a bowl, and continued: "Later, I thought about fighting with it, but my hands and feet were tied, and I saw that the old god's bloody mouth was about to bite off. ”
Mother Li's face changed, and she exclaimed: "Ah" reached out and touched Li Tianqi's forehead.
"Mother, I'm fine, that guy has a stinky face, very angry, and then he hit me with a cane, I don't know anything, and when I wake up, those gods and monsters are gone. I was hungry, and when I saw a lot of delicious food, I was full, so I came back. ”
Mother Li looked at the child in front of her kindly, and when she heard this, she suddenly folded her hands, "Bodhisattva bless." Good boy. ”
After saying this, she seemed to think of something, and a chill couldn't help but rise in her heart, and her expression began to become solemn, and the brilliance of happiness suddenly disappeared without a trace.
"Mother, what's wrong?" The careful Li Tianqi noticed the change in his mother, and quickly knelt in front of his mother and asked eagerly.
"Son, this mountain god has been here for many years, and he left this time with an injury, I don't know what will happen next?" Mother Li said slowly, and suddenly hugged Li Tianqi.
Li Tianqi was in her arms and said, "Mother, what should I do?" ”
"Alas......" Mother Li sighed softly and continued: "When the mountain god came to do evil, we also invited a mage and a Taoist priest, but it was useless, but it was in vain, and the mountain god also intensified the scourge of the crops in the township, and the cattle, sheep, pigs and dogs in the village suffered even more. It wasn't until later that there was an annual ballot offering for boys and girls. Helpless. ”
"Uh-huh." Li Tianqi couldn't help nodding, "That guy is really hateful." In this way, he is still called the god of the mountain in vain. ”
"Shhhh......h ”
Suddenly, Mother Li stroked Li Tianqi's hair: "Qi'er, my mother is really reluctant to give you up." ”
Li Tianqi didn't understand the meaning of this sentence, but silently hugged his mother.
......The cold wind blew and penetrated through the cracks in the burrow, blowing and swaying the lights in the house. A chill and a faint fishy smell were felt in the Burrow.
"Mother, that's the taste!" Li Tianqi sniffed it and hurriedly said, "It's like that guy's smell." ”
"Ahh That ......" Mother Li suddenly remembered something, and said to Li Tianqi: "Qi'er, you hurry up and set off to find your aunt Wanhuaxiang in Suzhou, and beg her to take you in, you must speak well, she will definitely take you in for the sake of being a sister and sister, you have to run away." ”
"Mother, I'm not leaving, I'm not going to Suzhou." Li Tianqi knelt on the ground, "The mountain god has come to me, and I want to accompany my mother." ”
Mother Li pushed away Li Tianqi's hands holding her, turned around and began to pack her bags, "This road of immortals, the origin is unknown, you finally escaped from the tiger's mouth this time, they should come back to find you." You run away. ”
Li Tianqi cried, "Mother, then I won't leave." It's a big deal, so I gave him food and didn't leave my mother. ”
Mother Li slapped Li Tianqi's cheek, and her heart ached: "What did you say?" I finally escaped! Don't talk like that! ”
Li Tianqi covered his face, tears welling up from his eyes: "Mother! Since he can remember, his mother not only taught him to read and write, but also taught him the truth of being a man, although it is inevitable that he will still make mistakes in the learning process, but he has never been beaten by his mother, and he felt a grievance.
Seeing this, Mother Li's heart hurt even more, and she hugged her son in front of her again, but pushed him away again: "Hurry up!" I'll come back to see my mother in the future! She quickly packed the package.
Li Tianqi wiped his tears and suddenly knelt down: "Mother, I haven't been able to repay my mother's kindness."
Mother Li: "If you protect yourself, you will repay the greatest gratitude." Both hands pulled Li Tianqi up from the ground and slapped the dust on his knees.
Li Tianqi: "Mother! ”
Mother Li quickly took out six copper plates from under the hem of her clothes and stuffed them into Li Tianqi's hand: "This is a few pennies, and my mother has saved this little money." You save some flowers. ”
The wind became stronger, and the cold wind blew in and blew out the lights, and the house suddenly became dark.
Li Tianqi was reluctant to get up.
Mother Li: "You kid, why are you so ignorant." ”
Li Tianqi gritted his teeth and said: "I'm not afraid of the mountain god, but I hate that I have no ability." ”
Mother Li: "Silly child, go quickly, they can't find you, so they will naturally leave." Won't do anything to me, I'll see you later. ”
Mother Li stuffed the package into Li Tianqi's hand.
"Mother!" Li Tianqi knelt in front of his mother again.
"Let's go!" Mother Li said angrily: "Otherwise, don't blame me for not recognizing you!" ”
Li Tianqi "sonorous ......" kowtowed several times in a row.
Mother Li hurriedly packed the food on the table, handed it over to Li Tianqi, and pushed Li Tianqi out of the door, "Let's go!" ”
Li Tianqi burst into tears: "Mother! I'm gone, take care! "Kneel on the ground again and say goodbye to your mother.
Mother Li leaned her back against the door panel and held back her tears. How reluctant she was to give up the child in her heart, she finally pulled him up, but the ten years seemed fleeting. Mother Li looked out from the crack in the door, and vaguely saw Li Tianqi's figure disappearing into the darkness, and her heart was even more worried, and her tears couldn't bear it anymore, and they flowed down.
The wind was stronger and whirring. Dark clouds are rolling in.
Li Tianqi smelled the fishy smell even stronger, and he looked at the night sky, the night sky with the moon and stars was actually black, and he couldn't see anything clearly.
He left the village entrance in tears, and after walking in the darkness for an unknown amount of time, the fishy stench gradually faded.
"If you don't follow the teachings, ignore the law, don't destroy the ancestors, and take you back." Behind him, a terrifying rumbling sound could be heard faintly over the distant village. With a rumbling sound, countless wisps of black smoke suddenly fell from the large billowing dark clouds, and rushed towards the village.
At that moment, suddenly a burst of chickens and dogs left, the village was noisy, the jars were broken, and the fire suddenly started.
"Mother." Li Tianqi, who had already walked a long way in the dark, turned around and saw a little fire rising in the village.
I didn't have time to think, "I'm going back." He turned around and ran home.
Running in the dark, he stumbled and accidentally fell into a deep pit on the side of the road, hit his head on the hard pit wall, and immediately fainted.
He was already exhausted and fell asleep for a long time, and when he woke up, it was already the afternoon of the next day.
Mother! The first thought he had when he woke up was to run back to see his mother.
Climbing up to the entrance of the cave with the help of vines, he couldn't care about the falling package, and ran desperately towards the village.
The smell of fish in the air has long since dissipated.
Panting like a cow, he was stunned and stunned when he saw the scene in front of him.
Tears poured down his face in a mud stain.
The village in front of me had been razed to the ground, and only a few unburned wooden stakes were emitting light smoke.
And his home, the humble room, was only a pile of broken branches and soil.
Everyone in the village has disappeared without a trace, not even the chickens, dogs, pigs and cows.
"Mother! Wait for me! Li Tianqi yelled at the sky, and he was very indignant in his heart.
"God! Answer me, what did I do? Return my home, return my mother! ”
Where the eye is swirling, I stumble upon the fire! It was indeed a fire, and a fire came out from the direction of the mountain temple.
Li Tianqi took a deep breath and ran to the front of the mountain temple with great difficulty.
But the already dilapidated mountain temple had been burned to the point that only a pile of wooden frames remained.
The gray and black rats squeaked and scurried in front of the mountain temple, but they didn't notice anything unusual.
Li Tianqi gasped, clenched his fists, and hit the ground hard, sweat and tears dripping down the ground.
The cold wind is still there, but I don't understand the meaning of this young man.
Faced with a home that was already a pile of ashes, Li Tianqi knelt down many times and couldn't bear to leave......
"Revenge!" Li Tianqi walked to the side of the mountain, looked back and took one last look at the village. He went back to the pit, picked up the package, and took it with him. took out a few copper plates on his body and carefully put them away, but he saw things and thoughts again, remembered his mother's advice, and tears flowed down again.
How can I learn the skills?
Where to find that ugly mountain god?
What kind of place is Suzhou?
It's a long road......
The young man did not know what direction was ahead, and walked out with anger and sorrow.
