Chapter 34: Old Things Before the Dust (1)

I, called Zhang, is just a chapter. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info I was often asked if it was my last name or my first name, and I had to answer him with a smile.

I learned my father's surname Zhang after I was born, and soon after that, I learned that my father had died in battle while I was still in my mother's womb and before I could choose a child. My mother has barely read a book, so I don't know what to call me after my mother comes to give birth.

My mother is a very gentle and kind person, even if the family's financial difficulties are extreme, even if there are only two steamed buns left in the family, she will divide a beggar who begs along the street on the side of the road, when I was young, I looked up and asked her, 'What do you eat?' Every time, she would smile and touch my head, "Mother is not hungry, Zhang'er is about to eat." ’

There is a price to be paid for doing good deeds, and it didn't take long for such days to go on, and in those days, a woman without a husband finally had no way to live, and finally one day, the hard-working woman finally couldn't resist the pressure and jumped into the pond, and she was drowned in the pond, and at that time I sat quietly on the edge of the pond and watched her jump down and float, and that year, I was only about four years old.

I didn't cry or make trouble, maybe I didn't have the consciousness of life and death at that time, what was I thinking at that time..... Oh, I remembered, I was thinking that maybe she was just asleep, maybe I just had to wait quietly and she would wake up and pick me up and smile and say to me, 'Zhang'er, let's go home'.

Finally it was late, I felt hungry, I cried, and the terrible cry alarmed the whole village. In the middle of the night, the village was still on fire, and almost everyone in the village gathered around the pond, and the torches illuminated the whole pond, and the pond at night was very dark and unfathomable. The village chief used the only fishing net in the village to scoop my mother out of the water, and I looked expectantly at my mother's frozen face in the pond and hoped that she would open her eyes and look at me, but unfortunately she didn't. There were a lot of people around me who were pointing at me, and I didn't quite understand what they were doing until I was older, and I guessed that they might be calling me a nemesis, that I would bring disaster to the village if I killed my parents, and that the people in the village, men and women, old and young, were all pointing at me and talking about it.

Just as the people of the village were about to throw me out of the village to fend for myself, a middle-aged couple in the village stood up, and I still remember their faces. The man picked me up and buried my head in his shoulder, and he held me tightly with one hand and pointed at the people around us, and it was a noisy night, and my ears were covered by my adoptive mother so that I didn't hear the filthy and rude words, and so that night I fell asleep in the noisy environment......

I am no longer lonely, my adoptive father and adoptive mother treated me very well, and after that night I finally had a complete and happy family...

Perhaps it was because I was such an unfortunate person, and I only enjoyed this happiness for ten years, when I was four years old, the battle was fought for nearly ten years, and the large-scale killing and looting caused the people to live and misery, and many families in the village starved to death on the roadside during these years. In the last year, there was a drought and the village barely had any crops, making the difficult days even worse. Seeing that the food at home is not getting as much as day by day, I thought that we would starve to death on the side of the road like those people, but we never thought that maybe it was because God could not stand it anymore that we continued to suffer, and on a cold night, the water from nowhere poured down from a high place and washed down the whole village, our village was surrounded by two high mountains, and no one was spared, neither man nor animal was overturned by a huge rush of water and drowned the bottom of the water. For a while, the wails and cries of the village for help resounded in the sky..... After the flood flooded the village, it did not subside for three days and three nights, everyone died, and the bodies were submerged in the water and soaked and floating.... And among these dead bodies, I am also included.

I stood on the surface of the water and looked at the corpses and the remnants of the house that kept floating in the water, I looked down at myself, my legs were broken by the rotten wood in the water, the blood kept falling into the water, there was no pain at all, I was scared, I was the only one around but the water and the corpse.... I just stood there for a long, long time. My mind went blank, fear took over my whole brain, I couldn't think, I didn't know what time it was, I just knew that the sun went down and up, and the day went by.......

I finally decided to look elsewhere, wandering around without purpose, until I came to the depths of an unknown wilderness, where there was a huge pond, the water was pitch black, the water was calm, there was no wave, the surroundings were quiet and hidden, somehow, the mind that was originally blank and unable to think immediately became very clear as soon as I arrived in this place, and I felt full of strength as soon as I came here.

Suddenly, a person dressed in white appeared in front of my eyes, and from the back it was a woman, and I carefully asked her, "Who are you?" ”

The woman turned around, she looked at me quietly, looked at me from top to bottom, and waited for a long time before she spoke, "Your mother, she was originally able to cultivate immortals, but after her death, she discarded the virtue accumulated in her previous life and exchanged a request with Heshenjun, and then went to reincarnate. ”

"What is it? ...... "Her voice was very positive, and I was a little scared of her.

But she didn't answer me anymore just smiled, she walked up to me, she told me that I couldn't be reincarnated, I asked her why, she smiled at me again, this time she didn't answer, she just told me, "From now on you don't need to eat or sleep, you can breathe underwater, the water provides you with your essence, and from now on, you stay in it, live forever and eternally in this world in another form." She left with little to say her words......

After she left, my eyes could no longer take my eyes off the swarthy water, which drew me step by step towards the pond......

Since then I have lived under the water, there is no one around the pond, I can't see anything outside the pond, except for aquatic plants and some aquatic creatures, there is only infinite magnification of loneliness in the water, I don't feel hungry, I don't feel sleepy, and no one talks to me... I spend a lot of time thinking about my life. In the water, my legs gradually closed, and the broken leg turned into a white tail at some point. Underwater, I swam over and over again, as if only a few activities could make life a little interesting.

I think about what my mother made with Hades almost every day, and what it was worth her to do it.

Until one day, I vaguely heard footsteps on the edge of the pond, someone! I happily swam to the surface of the water close to the sound to see what was going on outside.

The man was standing by the pond, he didn't look into the pond but into the distance, and I noticed a deep blood mark on his neck, and that's when I understood why no one had been here, and I knew why I was here......
