I don't know how long I had been asleep, my brain was groggy and my whole body ached, and I could faintly hear the tinkling of the spring, and the sound was ethereal, with a long, deep echo. (Fengwu Literature Network http://www.qiuwu.net.)

When I opened my eyes on a stone platform, the light was still dim, but the sky above me had become a myriad of sharp stalagmites that descended vertically. It's not a temple, it's an empty cave.

Where am I?

"Yang Xiuyi ......"

I moaned/groaned slightly, trying to prop up my body, but as soon as I exerted my strength, I was grinned by the huge pain in my waist. When I looked down, my body had doubled, wrapped in bandages, and wrapped me thickly, like a cocoon, unable to move. I gave up struggling and shouted, "Anyone? ”

"Don't be afraid, auntie, come here."

The clear voice came from afar, I raised my head and looked towards the source, a woman in cloth rushed over, apricot face and jade cheeks, delicate as fat, facial features are difficult to describe, Saiyue deceived flowers, although the hair was messy, the face was haggard, but it was a touch of beauty that was difficult to find.

She walked up to me, raised her hand to caress my face, and asked with a gentle smile, "Ya'er is awake, are you hungry?" ”

Her eyes are very beautiful, round and big, and her eyes are full of indifference and tranquility, like a pure land that opens up a noisy market, if it is not red and swollen, it must be as pure as the blue water in Yuyang Lake. I pointed to my waist: "What's going on?" ”

She was slightly stunned, her eyes blinked, tears rolled out of her dry eyes, she gently rubbed me in her arms, her elegant and delicate chin rested on my forehead, and her voice was soft: "It's okay, my aunt saved you." ”

I raised my eyes, and for some reason, she picked up my face, kissed me on the nose, and smiled while crying: "Ya'er, do you remember your previous wish?" ”

"Wish?"

"Hmm."

I shook my head in a daze.

She raised her head and looked into the distance, as if she had walked through a long flood and stopped at the time when the earth was clear and dusty, far and deep. Calm and indifferent, but this charm is not the kind of natural, but the light look at the world left after the rain and frost.

After a long time, she lowered her eyes and smiled: "Auntie has no time to accompany you, you have to take good care of yourself." For the sake of our people. Be happy, you know? ”

I was startled and hurriedly grabbed the corner of her clothes: "Where are you going?" ”

"Auntie is going to lure those villains away."

"Don't! Don't leave me here alone. I'm going to be scared. ”

"Don't be afraid, you can do what you want. Don't you want to go to Jiangnan to play, by the way, you kept saying that you wanted to eat Yulu soup from Qingzhou some time ago, right, where will your aunt send you? ”

I shook my head desperately: "I don't want it!" No! Auntie, don't leave me, you can't go! ”

I wanted to cry, but the tears couldn't flow out, and I grabbed her tightly in fear: "Auntie, you can't leave me." My father and mother are gone, if you want to throw me down again, what will you do with your teeth! I don't want you to go! ”

"Ya'er, listen to me, my aunt has to go, otherwise neither of us will be able to escape this fate."

I pleaded with pleading, "Auntie." I beg you to ......"

She held me tightly in her arms and said in a desolate voice: "Ya'er, God does not have mercy on me, our people have suffered a lot, and they say that they have done many unrighteous acts. In fact, how innocent it is for us juniors. We have opened up the world, lived in seclusion for thousands of years, but still waited for the day when the whole clan fell, maybe tomorrow, you will be the last bloodline of the Yue clan, although my aunt does not have the tolerant heart to embrace heaven and earth, but I also hope that you will not take revenge, the egg will not hit the stone, you just need to live well, do more good deeds, and pray for our atonement, do you understand? ”

I looked at her in horror: "Auntie, will you die?" ”

Her eyes were gentle, and she smiled faintly: "Ya'er, death is not terrible, life is terrible, but my aunt is very cruel, my aunt doesn't give you the right to die, you have to live forever, you know?" ”

"I don't understand."

She untied the hair rope on my head, carefully combed my hair in a bun, and said in a gentle voice: "In order to save you, my aunt has to put a heavy light spell on you, in the future, remember not to hurt in front of people, and remember not to hurt your waist, if you are treated as an alien because of this curse, aunt ......" Speaking of this, she choked and sobbed, buried her head in my neck socket, and cried silently.

I reached out and patted her on the shoulder and whispered comfortingly, "Don't cry, I won't blame you." ”

She wiped away her tears: "Actually, it's not just the re-light spell...... But Ya'er, you said that you won't blame your aunt, your aunt doesn't want to be resented by you, your aunt is really for your good...... This sachet is put away, it was prepared for you by your mother before the accident, and you should take it with you. Forget your surname Yue, and forget your aunt. In the future, depending on your own creation, there is only so much that your aunt can do for you. Remember to have a good heart, don't hurt anyone, don't kill, don't ...... No matter how much you say, you will forget it after all, I just ask you to live well and be safe. ”

She kissed me on the face again, got up and pointed to the wild fruits on the rock beside me: "Ya'er, these are enough for you to eat for five days, if you finish eating, there are many fruit trees outside the cave, your waist is not good, don't climb, my aunt has prepared a long pole for you, you can knock it down one by one, you are clumsy, don't hit yourself on the head." ”

I looked at her sadly: "Auntie, are you really going to leave me?" ”

She ignored me and said to herself: "In ten days, an uncle will come here to look for you, and he will take you to Cheongju to settle down, there are many delicious foods there, there are rivers everywhere, white houses and black tiles, built near the water, you will like it there." But you have to be sensible, that uncle's family is not good, if he buys you a lot of delicious food, you have to learn to refuse, your mouth must be sweet, you have to be well-behaved, and that uncle will be your father in the future......"

"I don't want ......"

She took a deep breath: "Ya'er, my aunt is leaving, you, you ......" At this point, it was difficult for her to continue, her eyes looked at me with regret, and her tears fell desperately. In a moment, she jerked away, pulling her legs and running away. The thin and thin figure was stretched by the light outside the cave.

"Auntie! Aunt! ”

I tried to hold her shadow with my hand, but I couldn't move, and she ran farther and farther, as if she wanted to run out of my world, away from my life. Her thin shoulders trembled so badly that she could clearly hear her crying, the kind of sobbing that could not be held back.

I yelled at her back, "Auntie! I don't want it! I don't want any uncle! I want my father, I want my mother! I want an aunt! Why don't you want me, what did you do wrong! Auntie, don't leave me! Aunt! ”

Why can't I cry, my aunt is most afraid of me crying, but I can't shed a single tear, I can only shout "Auntie" like crazy, about to tear my throat apart. In the end, she still looked back and didn't leave me.

For the rest of the day, I lay down. His eyes were stunned and he looked at the stalagmites on the top of the cave, not eating or drinking, and there was no urge to go to the toilet. What can be clearly felt is the gradual change of the body, and the blurring of vision. It's not as clear as it used to be. The sense of smell and hearing are weakened, and the facial features are painful and itchy, but they are not as unbearable as the waist and limbs. All of them are turning upside down.

Until the fourth day. A few rats had bitten out many holes in the fruit I had never touched, and I struggled to get up to chase them away, but one of them, daring enough to take advantage of the rats, jumped up on me and bit me the back of my hand. I remembered my mother's words, rats carry more plague, and their bodies are dirty and smelly. If you are bitten by them, you should quickly squeeze out the blood from the wound and find some ** grass to put on it.

I carefully rolled down from the stone platform, but the pain in the back of my hand disappeared, and I lifted my hand, except for the pool of red blood on it, the wound had healed.

I walked out of the hole. The sun is setting at dusk outside the cave, and the clouds and shadows on the horizon are like fire. I found a square stone and sat alone, trying to cry, but not a single tear could fall. It's a terrible feeling. Filled with bitterness, helplessness, panic and worry, my whole world was in the mire, dark, strange and desperate.

On the sixth day, a middle-aged man, ragged and emaciated, came and hugged his leg: "Uncle, are you here to find me?" ”

He looked at me, his eyes were shining, staring at me all over, half loud, he smiled softly: "Yes, uncle is here to find you." ”

"You must have been in a hurry to get here four days early, right?"

He touched my head, "yes." ”

I thought about it for a while and hesitated: "Uncle, but I don't want to go with you, I'm sorry, I want to go back to the village, please send me back, I miss my father and mother, and my aunt." ”

He nodded and smiled kindly: "Okay, where do you live?" What village? ”

What village?

I tilted my head, my brows furrowed deeply, racking my brains, but I couldn't figure it out, I hung my head in defeat and shook my head: "I forgot." ”

"And what's your name?"

I was still thinking about it, and finally I was so angry that I slapped my head: "Forget and forget!" How could I have forgotten what I was called! ”

He squatted down and pulled my hand away: "No matter what it's called, uncle will take you to see it, uncle knows the way." ”

There were too many omissions in this sentence, but I didn't feel it, I clapped my hands and cheered stupidly, and then pulled him down the mountain.

All the way down the mountain, the road is rough and the mud path is difficult to navigate. But I had a great time, laughing and playing, and from time to time I put the weeds and flowers on the roadside on my head.

Early in the morning of the third day, he picked wild fruits for me, and I held them and bit them wildly, and he sat on the side and stared at me for a long time: "Hey, why is your face different from before?" ”

I blinked twice and looked at him blankly.

He was displeased: "How did you become ugly?" ”

I gave him a smirk and continued to eat the fruit.

He suddenly grabbed my hair, raised my face, stared at it for a long time, his expression changed greatly, and he angrily raised his hand and gave me a crisp slap, and kicked me hard: "Damn, I thought I picked up a treasure and could use it to buy a bud to pay off the debt, was I dazzled a few days ago?" ”

I was beaten to the ground, a sharp stone pierced my palm, I sat up busily, screaming in pain, he leaned over to take a look, and said coldly: "I can't die, if I make a noise, I will chop you up!" ”

I stared at him in fear, and for a moment, the pain in my palm disappeared, I hurriedly wiped the blood from it, and reached out to him in a flattering manner, and whispered: "Please don't kill me, my hand doesn't hurt anymore, you see, it's okay." ”

He pulled my hand over in disbelief, rubbed it repeatedly, looked at me with wide eyes, pushed me away, and stepped back again and again: "Are you a monster?" Are you a female ghost? You, you ......"

I shook my hand again and again: "Don't be afraid of me, I'm not." ”

He picked up a lot of rocks and threw them at me: "Don't come here! I don't care about you! Stay back! ”

I was thrown so painfully, I hid behind a tree with my head in my arms, and looked at him pitifully: "I'm really not a monster, our people hate monsters the most, and I'm not a female ghost, really not, please don't be afraid of me......"

He ignored me, threw stones at me as he ran, and finally disappeared from view, leaving me alone in the mountains and jungles.

I stood still for a long time, and finally aimlessly searched for an exit in the bushes. When you are hungry, you want to eat wild fruits. But the back pain made it difficult for me to climb the tree, so I had to endure hunger until a few days later, I was so hungry that I pulled out the weeds on the side of the road and swallowed the dirt frantically.

My mind has become more and more blurry and chaotic. Gradually, I can't remember where I'm going. Often squatting on the side of the road to support his cheeks. What am I called, who am I, and how am I here...... I can't think of any qiē. I only know that I have to go forward, I have to fill my stomach, I have to sleep when I am sleepy, and I have to drink water when I am thirsty.

Dozens of days passed, and I walked around in the mountains, and finally walked out in a daze. There was a small village not far down the hill, and the smell of food wafted from it, so I stepped forward with a pouting and snuck into a hut at the entrance of the village. Stealing two steamed buns and gobbling them up.

After tasting the theft, I tried to hide in the village, but before I could be discovered the next day, countless people surrounded me and beat me with sticks. I curled up in a ball, forgetting how to beg for mercy.

They threw me back to the mountain, and I lay alone, looking indifferently at the night sky, and the stars in the sky. Blink and blink, and I blink and wink. Then I heard a small crackling sound, and I propped myself up, and before I knew what was happening, a sack suddenly came under my hood and bound me in it.

"Second brother, this girl is so ugly, can she do it?"

"It's better than taking your daughter, Liu Laosan is ruthless, are you willing to let your daughter suffer? I heard that Aunt Zhang's girl was directly sold by Liu Laosan to Zhao Ma dealers. ”

"This girl shouldn't have any family, don't be found, or we'll have to ......"

"Don't give Lao Tzu nonsense, take it away, pull it to wash the white and clean point, and ask your daughter-in-law to clean up, Liu Laosan's people will be here tomorrow morning."

Two middle-aged women washed me, dressed me in a floral dress, and tied my hair in a beautiful bun. I was carried into a tattered bullock cart with six other little girls. They kept crying, but I kept giggling because of the novelty and fun of riding in the bullock cart. A little girl wiped away her tears and pointed at me: "She's a fool!" ”

Everyone looked at me, and a few of them started pulling my hair, pulling my cheeks, and then turned around and said, "What a fool! ”

Sitting in an ox cart, avoiding the official road, the road was bumpy and trembling. The sun, moon and stars alternate in the sky, there are soups and rivers, there are rolling mountains, and there are boundless wilderness. The driver was driven by two big men with big shoulders and thick waists, who occasionally stopped to rest and feed us some food and water.

The little girl in the car bullied me at every turn, because I was a fool, which contributed to their sympathy. Only a girl named Little Lantern treated me very well, but she didn't dare to help me, but quietly comforted me afterwards, talked with me, and told me stories.

After several days of rushing day and night, and one day stopping on the side of the road to rest, she crept up to me and whispered, "Silly girl, I overheard just now, they sold you." ”

I didn't understand, I looked at her blankly, and she said sadly: "Silly, will you die, if you are found to be not smart, I am afraid that the buyer will beat you to death." ”

I was puzzled: "If you are not smart, you will be killed?" ”

She lowered her head, her eyes were red, she took out a piece of raw jade from her arms, reached out to the ox cart and struggled to pick up a stone, and smashed it on the jade, the jade with bad material was broken into several pieces, she looked at it distressed for a long time, and handed me the largest piece of jade: "This is the true source jade, left to me before my mother's death, you take it, I hope my mother's mother can also bless you." ”

I took it, carefully put it in the sachet, and said seriously, "I will cherish it." ”

She hugged me gently: "Silly, you have to take care of yourself, you know?" ”

I nodded, "Yes! You want it too. ”

But I was never bought, and when I met with the buyer, I kept smirking and was seen to be a fool, for which I was beaten badly. They beat me to death, saw that I was seriously injured, said in a cold voice that I was hopeless, and threw me down without hesitation when they passed by a cliff. I was stopped by an upside-down dead pine on the cliff, and I begged for business to let me climb back, and I couldn't bear to look back on the hardships and sweat on the way, and I would rather jump off the cliff and fall to smash it again.

In this way, I resumed my life of eating weeds and picking up leftovers, with thin skin and skinny bones, sharp-beaked monkey gills, but my waist was extremely thick.

Wandering for more than a year, drinking dew and meal cream, cave-dwelling in the wilderness, and going along a road. Unconsciously, the grass along the road is sparse, the quieter the population, the more vast the world is, and the vast expanse.

I walked to a small village, tired of walking, sat at the entrance of the village and watched the sunset, the evening wind blew very leisurely, I muttered, humming a tune that I couldn't understand.

That's when it happened. Someone stoned me, three little boys, and they chased and scolded: "Crazy woman, get out, don't go near our village!" ”

My head was smashed and bleeding, and they didn't let me go. Follow me all the time: "Stinky and dirty female madwoman." I'm sick to death, I'm going to throw up! Smash her to death! ”

In the confusion, I heard the boy in the lead called Xiaohuzi. I was angry in my heart, gritting my teeth and thinking that I must take revenge on him. But I really don't have a good brain, and my plan of revenge is to pick up a slightly thicker trunk and hit him, and stupidly pick a man in the presence of many adult men. I bravely rushed straight up, hit him on the head with the trunk, bleed, and then was punched and kicked by the others. They kept me in prison for six days. When I was released, Xiaohuzi brought a group of children to trouble me. I was dragged to the entrance of the village, where they spat at me, pinched my flesh with tongs, and pressed my head into the river at the entrance of the village, suffocating me repeatedly. A little boy picks up a pile of shit out of nowhere. They coaxed me to eat it, and I struggled so hard that I turned around and tried to escape, when I hit my head on an old man in white. Chasing the shit thrown behind me deviated from me, and "snapped the tower". It landed on his dustless garment and slid straight down. He froze in place, and for a moment, jumped to his feet and cursed: "I killed you!" ”

I looked at him in a daze, he was so powerful, he beat the little tiger and them all so that their noses were blue and their faces were swollen, and they cried and called their mother. Rubbing his nose proudly, he raised his eyebrows at me: "How, I'm amazing, right?" Seeing that I didn't react, he frowned, turned to leave, and didn't forget to wipe the shit on the boy as he left.

I already thought of him as a big tree that could shelter me from the wind and rain, so I followed him all the time. I hadn't spoken to anyone for a long time, and I had forgotten how to open my mouth and ask him to take me in, he stopped and looked back at me: "What are you doing with me, go and go!" ”

I shook my head, looked at him pitifully, plucked up my courage, and reached out to grab his sleeve. He looked at my black hand, his gaze fell on my face again, and after half a sound, he sighed and said to himself: "If you want to bring another one back, will I be slaughtered by Master?" Eh, girl, what's your name? ”

I continued to shake my head.

"Are you a vagabond?"

I paused and nodded.

He reached out to touch the blood on my wound and put it under his nose to smell: "How is it sweet, and there is a floral fragrance, what have you eaten?" ”

I looked at him blankly, not knowing why.

He frowned: "You were beaten so badly, does it hurt?" Why don't you cry? ”

I spoke carefully, my voice hoarse, and my pronunciation was extremely non-standard: "I forgot how Jì cried." ”

He looked at me quietly, his eyes were complicated and incomprehensible, and after a long time, he suddenly laughed: "Can you forget to cry?" Interesting, hahahaha! Go, I was scolded and punished, and I confessed, and in the future, you will eat and drink spicy food with me, my name is Yuzun Immortal, you call me Daxian, no, no, it's still Shangxian, Shangxian sounds majestic......"

“……”

He took me to an inn, bought a set of clean clothes, to bathe me, when undressing out of my clothes fell out of a sachet, there was a flower note in it, he looked at it for a long time, muttered: "This is the cold desert north of the land, the dew is less rain, the forest is sparse and the grass is sparse, the people hope for auspiciousness, also known as the 'twelve fields' here, hope that the rain here is abundant, irrigation all year round, just you were born in the twelfth month, simply take a 'Tian' surname, just call you Tian Chujiu, how?" ”

I looked at him stunned, indicating that I didn't understand.

He laughed, carried me into the bathtub, scooped up a spoonful of water and poured it down from my head: "In the future, you will be my junior high school, you are so lucky to be able to bump into me, let me tell you, I am the first person in the sun and moon through the ages, the spell is boundless, the identity is noble, the wind and the moon Qionglou Yu is respectful, it is me...... Oops, don't run, my God, how long has it been since you've taken a shower, oh yo, what a thick waist...... By the way, girl, I am very deep, I live in Xianshan, where I live in the clouds and the moon, Xuanxiao Danque, but there is a guy who is more annoying, although he is not very old, but people want to strangle him...... If you run again, I'll beat you up! Hear me out! Everywhere I went, there were flowers paving the way, and the music was meandering, and as soon as I left, the whole city was sending the piano and the people were crying, can you imagine that picture...... I told you not to run, not to splash the water! I'm really going to hit you! ”

The next day, the flowers were paved, and the piano was sent, but I was blasted out of the inn with him. At that time, he touched his pocket with a handful of old tears and snot: "What about my money bag, what about my money bag, and finally took off his boots and found sixteen Wen, and the shopkeeper who couldn't stand it picked up a broom and chased two streets, and also cried two streets."
