Chapter 39: Awakening
It was as if he had fallen into a bottomless pit, constantly falling, gravity engulfing his heart strongly, and on the way down, he was sometimes unconscious, sometimes awake.
When he woke up, he found that he was still falling, and immediately struggled desperately, but there was no point of strength for him to borrow, and he did not dare to look down, for fear of breaking his face.
His father once told him in a serious tone that to stay away from the cliff is to stay away from death.
As a child, his father often took him to climb mountains.
Once, when Peake was standing on the edge of a cliff to see what was going on at the bottom of the cliff, his father grabbed him from behind, reprimanded him harshly, and warned him never to stand on the edge of the cliff.
Later, when his father died, he used to go up the mountain alone, walk to the edge of the cliff, and close his eyes.
Longing for someone behind him to hold him, but ......
Is this the fall?
There was a gray mist all around, and he didn't dare to look at how deep it was down, but he could feel himself falling faster and faster, and the roaring wind was hurting his eardrums, and he didn't dare to open his mouth, for fear that the wind would pour into his stomach and shatter his internal organs.
When he fell, he found it, it was a white parrot, snow-white, it looked like he had seen it somewhere, but he just couldn't remember it.
He asked, "Did you fall off a cliff too?"
The white parrot said in human language, "I can fly!" and as he said that, he fluttered his wings and flew to Pique's body.
"Are you really a parrot?" pleaded Peake, "Can you save me!"
The darkness around him whirled around him, and Peake reached over to the parrot and touched its white feathers.
"It's a dream!" cried the parrot.
"How can I wake up?" asked Peake anxiously, afraid that he would fall to rock bottom before the parrot could say the answer.
"Turn your head and face the abyss!" said the parrot and flew away.
Peake tried to grab it, but it was empty.
Dreams?
Peake closes his eyes, then opens them again, only to find that he is still falling.
Looking down?
It seemed that there was only that, and Pique looked down, only to see that the ground was coming at him!
He clasped his hands tightly and closed his eyes in horror, only to feel that his internal organs were going to be tense and shattered.
......
"Ah!! I'm dead!"
"Peake, Peake, my child!" Aunt Ekfield hugged Peake's head and comforted, "It's a dream!
Peake heard the comfort, as if he heard his heart beating again.
But why can't I open my eyes, it's still foggy, and he reached out and touched his eyes.
"Don't be afraid of the child, your face is swollen and your eyes are blocked with bruises, and it will be fine soon. ”
"Aunt Eckfield?" said Peake, who heard a familiar voice in his ear, and his tone was very excited.
"It's me, child!" she said in a loving tone, eager to soothe Pique with all her tenderness.
Tears slipped down the swollen corners of Pique's eyes, tears of rebirth.
"When you were a kid, you used to fight with other people, but how did you get hurt so badly this time?"
Peake remembered in his heart that when he was a child, after Zhu Tian woke up and used his body to cause trouble and fight, there were many times when Aunt Eckfield came to help him bandage his wounds.
At this time, he began to worry that Zhu Tian was coming, and converting his soul twice in one day would cause harm to both parties.
"Zhu Tian, Zhu Tian?" he called his name twice in his heart, but received no response.
I don't know if this is a good thing or a bad thing, it's like after the two of them frequently changed souls a few years ago, Zhu Tian fell into a deep sleep.
"What's the matter, kid?" asked Eckfee, looking at Pique in a daze, with concern.
"Auntie, I'm fine, thank you so much, without you, I might have died last night. Of course, Pique won't tell Aunt Exffee about Zhu Tian, so he can only bear the mistakes that Zhu Tian has made. "When I was a child, I was ignorant when I fought, and every time I bothered my aunt to bandage my wounds, last night, if it wasn't for you......"
"Poor boy, what was last night, you've been in a coma for two days!" Aunt Eckfield hugged Peake in distress and said with concern. You will recuperate at my house, when will you be well and when will you go back, yesterday Ryder came to see you, stayed here for a day, and kept guard at the door until night, he was probably afraid that the robbers would retaliate again, and he only went home late at night, and when he went home, he still wanted to bring the big black foot back, but the donkey didn't leave, he kept guarding the door, I saw that the donkey was not lightly injured, and he was smeared with a little powder, and those robbers didn't even let go of the donkey. By the way, Ryder also said that he has a good thing to tell you, that God is mysterious. ”
"No, Auntie, I'm going to make trouble for you here, and you still have to sell sweet potatoes." "Pique didn't want to trouble Aunt Eckfield, her husband, Uncle Domond, had been drafted five years ago, along with his son Domond Jr., who had not been back since they left, and had sent back a few letters in the past few years, but had been completely lost in the last two years.
Because he felt guilty for stealing a lot of roasted sweet potatoes from his aunt when he was a child, when he grew up, after learning that Uncle Domond had lost news, he and Ryder would often come to Aunt Ekfei's house to do some work such as repairing the house and renovating the furniture for free.
In this world, the weak have always been able to help each other in this way, barely surviving.
Aunt Eckfield has been living alone for the past few years, and she is countless times lonelier than herself.
Thinking of this, Peake wanted to prop up his body, but he was instantly provoked by the sharp pain in his hand and grinned, "Ahh
"What's the hurry! You're staying here!!When you're healed, you'll go back!'" Aunt Ekfei cursed quickly, "Unlucky robber!
Peake refused to stay any longer, insisting on going home to recuperate, but Aunt Akefei couldn't persuade him, so she could only help him out of bed and slowly help him out.
The sun shone on his face, Peake smelled the warm breath outside, he opened his eyes that were covered in bruises, and finally saw a glare of light, he hurriedly blocked it with his hand, slowly, he adapted to the light, put down his hand, he saw the big black foot leaning against the corner, covered in wounds, staring at him tightly.
......
Ten minutes away, with the support of Aunt Eckfield, he walked for nearly half an hour, but he had not yet reached home.
Along the way, someone pointed and pointed, and he didn't know that Pique was Dormond, and said excitedly: "Uncle Dormond, you're back, why were you beaten like this, hahahahahaha!"
"Fuck off, boy from the Tulu family, dare you laugh again, see that I don't tear your mouth apart. The aunt glared angrily and threatened: "Also, if you dare to steal my sweet potatoes and tomatoes in the middle of the night, I will hang you to a tree! ”
Finally, amid many mocking or surprised eyes, Peake returned home.
At the door of the house, Pique watched Aunt Eckfield walk back, thinking secretly that he would have to go out of the town to inquire about Uncle Dormond's whereabouts when he had a chance in the future.
The door to the courtyard was open, and he walked in with the big black feet.
As soon as he entered the courtyard, he was stunned.
I saw that in the yard, seven or eight donkeys were tied to a rope and lined up in a column, honestly waiting for the master's orders.
Outside the main building, Ryder was talking to four middle-aged men, and between his words, they seemed to be angry.
Peake listened silently to what they were talking about:
"Ryder, what's the matter with you, Big Blackfoot breeds my donkeys at this time of year, why can't it be this year?"
"Yes, Ryder, Big Black Feet is in good health, I saw it stealing other people's apples at the market last month, where did you hide it?"
"Ryder, don't you think we give us a lot of money, it's a lot to give two copper coins at a time, so I will add another copper coin this year, and I should supplement the nutrition of Big Black Feet. ”
"That's not good, there are already a lot of two copper coins, you can add more money, I won't add it, Ryder, we have been cooperating for three years, and the female donkey has been brought to your yard, anyway, I have all the money on the table for you, you must promise me to match my donkey first!"
Ryder was so annoyed by the quarrel of these four people that he said something to him, "That's enough! I said that something happened to Big Black Foot recently, why don't you believe it? You can't see it, Big Black Foot is not at home at all now!"
"Why aren't you at home, isn't that the big black foot!" said one of them, pointing to the courtyard.
Ryder said to himself, your brains are really broken, and Big Black Feet is ...... now Belch...... Ryder glanced over and saw Peake standing in the yard with big black feet.
