Lotus Boy (1)

The five-year-old was gluttonous, very thin, not human-like, with a raised back and thin shoulder blades, like a withered yellow skin wrapped around the bones, so that the head was unusually large.

In the black, cold iron cage, there was a nest of rough withered grass, he curled up in a ball, his dry arms around his head, and there were countless scars on his body, new wounds crushed old wounds, and there was no complete skin left.

Five-year-old gluttony, or at that time he wasn't called gluttony, or even didn't have an orthodox name, he was just a half-old, or what looked like he was only about three or four years old.

His parents died early and died tragically, in a chaotic and cruel massacre, with no bones left, and he had no other relatives except his parents, who were supported by his elderly grandfather.

Before the age of five, he vaguely remembered that he lived in a fairyland-like warm tribe, where the flowers bloomed in spring and the snow fell, where he was cared for by his parents, and his grandfather loved him very much, and the clan was harmonious and had a group of partners......

But after the age of five, his world collapsed.

At that time, he didn't understand...... Who was it that just swept away all the happy and warm colors in his eyes.

The parents in my memory, the companions who usually play together and are familiar with each other, as a group of devils break into the tribe, the sky is dark, and the overwhelming fire turns into hideous grimaces, turning those familiar faces into charred corpses.

Heaven and earth have changed color, and human faces have changed beyond recognition.

At that time, he thought he would be like that.

But he was finally rescued, and in his somewhat hazy and blurred vision, the ruins of the oblique pillars were reflected, the long hall collapsed, and the dust was like mist, and he saw a person standing in front of the end of an old ancient hall.

He has three thousand crowns hanging down, his air is flowing through the nine skies, his eyebrows and eyes are deep, and there are many mysteries hidden in the bones and abdomen of the fairy wind road, but he seems to be vulgar and not vulgar, and it seems to be non-Tao.

Immortal? Soul Catcher?

He stared at him with a pair of eyes that were full of thousands of voids, but had become indifferent because he had seen through the world, perhaps because his gaze was too deep and too long, so that people could see a sense of compassion and compassion in his eyes.

"Who...... Who are you? ”

Why did you save him?

"Thou art the seven sins of gluttony, remember, you live to wait for someone, only wait for her, your life will change...... Idiot, don't be too obsessed with the appearance, all the appearances are false, you are one, you are two. ”

He shook his head, leaving only one sentence, a wide robe with large sleeves, and then brushed the dust with his palm, as if he had grasped the mysteries of the world, and walked away slowly.

"Seven Sins...... Sin, I am sin? ”

He doesn't understand his words, but who he is, and Gluttony seems to know vaguely.

Some time ago, he had heard the clansmen privately discuss that the Teng Snake Emperor would invite a demigod to return to the clan to pray for the birth of the little princess Teng Snake.

Because everyone prepared for the celebration of the little princess's birthday in advance, especially the eldest prince and Jiaojiaoer (*) They looked for nine-colored flower balls everywhere, and asked many friends in the ethnic group to help, and he was one of them, so he had an impression of this matter.

After the Teng Snake clan was wiped out by Yin Sheng, they completely lost their original home and the protected clan.

As a result, the Leng clan of the Seven Sects of Teng Snake began to live a life of exile and hiding.

Like a blank piece of paper being swiped, the fate of "gluttony" began.

After being rescued by the Immeasurable Daoist, he became ill not long after gluttony, and became very ill, burning for three days and three nights, and almost died like this, but in the end he still survived tenaciously.

But because of his young age, he burned too badly, and some of the memories in his head were burned, and he couldn't remember many things clearly.

He thought, maybe he really forgot something very important, or maybe after he woke up, the whole person became stupid and stupid, and he was different from the original him, so the grandfather who had always been very kind to him in his memory began to become very indifferent to him, and gradually became a stranger.

The Wanqiu swamp wetland at the end of autumn always gives people a feeling of being cold to the bones, and the wind can also be biting, like a thousand roots, and the sky here is always a dirty gray, muddy and gloomy, as if it can't be washed.

The small, dirty gluttonous man lay on his stomach in an iron cage, and the cage leaned against the edge of a muddy swamp, and he stretched out his hand to hook the vegetation not far away, digging the bitter and hard grass roots under the mud and gnawing bite by bite.

If you don't eat this, he'll starve to death.

Because...... Grandpa seems to have forgotten to bring him food again.

At this time, he was locked in an iron cage, which was used by the tribesmen to imprison the small animals they hunted, so the space was very narrow and low, and the gluttony was locked in it with his hands and feet, and even if he was thin, he had to curl up and not straighten his hands and feet.

He didn't remember why he was imprisoned, nor how long he had been imprisoned here, since he was exiled by Grandpa and his people and thrown into this desolate and cold land, at a glance, the endless swamps that were stripped of water weeds, silt black soil, and shallow water puddles, and the gray sky was a world where the world met silently.

He didn't know when he started, Grandpa didn't like him anymore, and even the clansmen hated him.

He was lonely, and he felt that the whole world was so quiet that he was the only one left.

But occasionally, here, he occasionally meets some friends who come to dig the grass roots under the mud and make tooth sacrifices.

They are not friendly to him, and in those transparent and innocent eyes, there will always be a kind of clean and pure disgust and disgust when they meet him.

They hated him because they felt they should hate him.

A child's world, one is one, two is two, black and white.

"Ah, are the monsters digging grass roots to eat?" A small black head suddenly poked out in front of the cage, with a childish tone.

"Well, I'm eating, wood, don't get too close to him, my grandma said, he has occupied the body of our patriarch's grandson, he is a monster, if you get close, you will be swallowed." A little girl with two pigtails, with a small face, nervously picked up a stone, and threw it at the gluttony like an adult, "saving" the little friend.

With a clang, the stone smashed into the iron frame, the greedy neck shrank, slightly tilted his head, and under the messy dirty hair, a pair of soft ink eyes showed a little grievance.

"I, I'm not a monster......" his dirty face was full of fear.

"Ah, the youkai spoke, run!"

As soon as he opened his mouth, the childish and soft voice scared away the little friends who came to the swamp lake to find food.

Gluttony furrowed his eyebrows, licked his dry lips in annoyance, and lowered his head pitifully: "Youkai...... I would have known and admitted it so that they wouldn't have left so soon......"

β€”β€”

Locked in a cage, drinking muddy water and eating grass roots every day, on this day, gluttony is completely hungry and crazy, he knows that when he is quietly still, he can lure some animals over, such as frogs, toads, snakes, water voles, water shrews, etc., at first he didn't know exactly what he wanted to do, but when he reacted, he only felt that his mouth was full of bloody and salty taste, and there were minced meat, animal fur, and blood falling around him, and he was completely stunned.

"Wow-"

As a flash of fire roared, a scream woke him up.

He squinted his eyes and saw a group of people coming from the night, they were holding torches of twos and threes, dispelling a lot of the gloom and cold frost on the side of the road, the leader walked heavily, his gray hair was tied in a heap, he bowed his back slightly, and wore a round-necked crane feather robe, greedily felt that this figure was somewhat familiar, and flashed his eyes a few times, and sniffed forward with the tip of his nose.

- Ah, it's Grandpa.

Grandpa is here to pick him up!

Gluttony suddenly arched himself happily and grinned his red and bloody teeth, but because his face was so dirty, no one saw his happy expression, only a mouth full of blood.

"Oh my God, he's eating these raw...... You see, it's a monster that has taken up a human body! Standing behind the Leng clan patriarch, a middle-aged man couldn't help but swallow a mouthful of saliva in fear when he saw such a bloody scene that stimulated his eyeballs, and said loudly.

"Patriarch, you can't do this anymore, kill him! He's not the beginning of our acquaintance. Others were stimulated and began to second.

Gluttony didn't understand what they were saying, only sensitively felt as if they didn't recognize him, he suddenly panicked, and stammered: "I'm the ......"

The Leng clan patriarch's pair of sangling and sharp eyes glanced at the little hands stained with blood by gluttony, and his disgusted eyes were undoubtedly exposed, he endured it for a long time, gritted his teeth and said, "You are not!" ”

"Grandpa......" greedily grasped the iron cage pillar without a master, with teary eyes, like an abandoned lamb.

"You are not allowed to call me that! You'reβ€”"

The patriarch of the Teng Snake Leng clan paused, and the afterglow swept over the pair of clear and childish eyes like water lotus, and the red blood came through the black, and there seemed to be a red-fin live fish looming in it, if the demon was like a demon, he was suddenly shocked in his heart, and he picked up a wooden stick casually, and then hit the person in the cage.

"Kill himβ€”"

"He's a monster, kill himβ€”"

Gluttony stared at the patriarch of the Leng clan with a stupid face, he didn't think about hiding at first, but he was really beaten in the back, so he began to hold his head with both hands, like a weak lamb, the tears of beans were like beads with broken threads, and his glasses were red and swollen from crying, watery, and pitiful.

"Grandpa-grandpa-don't fight...... Hurt...... Whining...... It hurts ......."

"Don't call me! You're not my grandson! My grandson has been killed by you, a demon, and I will kill you now to avenge him!" The Leng clan patriarch was panting, his eyes widened, his face was rudden, and he let out a loud shout.

The "person" in front of him can't be his grandson at all, how can his grandson be the monster in front of him who is dressed in a soft and timid and scared gaze, but can make a blood-drinking and hair-drinking behavior!

When the gluttony heard the words, the whole person was stunned.

Dazed and sluggish.

Am I not his grandson?

- And who am I?

"Old man, you're enough, how long are you going to fight!" Shi Tongren was suddenly suffocated, like a beast's pupils erected, and suddenly faded away from the cowardice and sorrow of his body, his eyes were red, he grabbed the iron cage fiercely, and shouted in a dumb voice.

The movement of the Leng clan leader raised high froze for a moment, and the whole person froze.

"Beginning?" With a bang, the stick in the hand of the Leng clan patriarch fell to the ground, and he was shocked.

At this time, the people of the Leng clan around them all stared at the people in the cage with stunned expressions, and they couldn't come back to their senses for a long time.

"I'm not dead! So you're just trying to kill me? Although he was small, he was imposing, he glared at him fiercely, and many people couldn't resist it, and lowered his head weakly.

The patriarch of the Leng clan knelt down all of a sudden, clutching the iron cage, tears welling up in his eyes.

"Grandson, grandson, you...... You weren't ...... by that demon."

"He's not a demon!" Gluttony interrupted him sharply.

The patriarch of the Leng clan looked surprised: "You, what are you talking about?" ”

The Leng clan patriarch looked incomprehensible.

Gluttony paused, then glanced impatiently.

He was still young, he couldn't tell, he just remembered that after that big burn, he suddenly felt another person in his body.

He knew that this person would not harm him, but he was very annoying, he loved to cry, he was often alone in a daze, and he was hungry quickly, and when he was hungry, he fell into a crazy situation, and he ate everything he could.

This coward, he hates him, but he can't avoid him.

So he simply closed his eyes, and then the whole person fell into a very strange state of vision, he could see everything "he" saw, but he couldn't regain control of his body.

It wasn't until he saw others bullying him", "He also felt that he was being bullied and became unbearable, so he finally came out again."

But these things, he is still young, and there is no way to explain them to others.

"Old man, if he dies, I will die too."

He angrily put down such a sentence, and closed his eyes and "fell asleep" again.

When he opened his eyes again, he had changed to the appearance of a frightened lamb.

Staring at the pair of eyes that were gradually regaining their moisture and timidity, and seeing the blood on his hand and the shocking animal bones that fell to the ground, the Leng clan patriarch felt that Fang Ren's heart completely fell into the ice cellar again.

β€”β€”

The life of the Leng clan in Wanqiu was very poor and difficult.

In addition to the geographical and environmental aspects, there are also racial discrimination.

The tribal wars here in Wanqiu are very frequent, everything is just for food and survival, the Leng clan is not good at fighting, they are the Teng Snake Historical Records clan, only to avoid the scourge of Yin Sheng, they will move to Wanqiu.

And all of this was arranged by the immeasurable Dao people at the beginning.

Speaking of the immeasurable Daoist, the patriarch of the Leng clan let out a long sigh again, when he sent the gluttony back, he said that if he didn't want the Leng clan to perish, he would at least save his life, and it was precisely because of this that even if he hated this demon in the skin of his grandson, he just locked him up and exiled him to the swamp, and did not burn him directly.

It has been rainless for three consecutive rainy seasons, and since May last year, a plague of insects accompanied by drought has swept through most of the scattered tribes in the west, and all grass and plants have been eaten.

The whole of Wanqiu fell into a severe famine.

At this time, Wanqiu finally broke out a civil war, the various ethnic groups began a tragic and crazy scramble, the food was finished, they robbed people, and even cannibalism, some weak tribal groups in Wanqiu began to be cleared, and even the Teng Snake Leng clan, which had been wandering to the edge, was also implicated, and had to choose a strong force to join the alliance for self-protection.
