1.16 Father's love, teacher's ancestor
If I were allowed to live my life again, I would be willing to repeat my life. Because I have never regretted the past, and I am not afraid of the future. -- Montaigne
―――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――
On this day, the expressions of the Chen family's parents were very wrong, but Ah Xiang couldn't ask anything. Because the month is old, Chen Axiang doesn't go out easily, for fear that something will happen.
The resentment of the villagers grew stronger with time, and after half a year, the mountain girl still showed no signs of anger. They have become more and more unfriendly to Li Jin and the Chen family.
couldn't ask anything at home, Chen Axiang quietly went out.
She went to find her friend Xiaomei. Since Ah Xiang moved in to take care of Li Jin, Ah Xiang's friends have left her one by one, and even gradually joined the ranks of bullying the Chen family. Only Xiaomei, except for being cold to her, did nothing else.
"When your baby is born, he will be tortured with Li Jin in front of the statue of the mountain girl to appease the anger of the mountain girl."
On the way home, Chen Axiang kept replaying Xiaomei's words in her head.
Torture is not a sacrifice. Being a sacrifice is an endless glory here, but being punished is cruel. The inmates will be twisted into the grinding disc alive and ground up little by little.
The outside world described by Li Jin is still very novel and interesting, but Ah Xiang still doesn't believe the part about the mountain girl. This is too different from what she has been taught since she was a child, and it can be said that it is the complete opposite.
Remembering what Li Jin said about the mountain girl, Ah Xiang's heart rippled. If what Li Jin said is true, then the baby and his aba will not only die extremely painfully, but also have no bones and no soul after death.
Ah Xiang came home in a trance all the way, and when she woke up, she was already standing in front of Li Jin's bed and explained everything.
"Don't worry, I'll figure it out. Call Abba and Grandma in. Li Jin glanced at Ah Xiang deeply, "I want to eat your wonton at night." ”
"This is the first time Ah Jin has asked for something to eat!" Ah Xiang answered and went out of the door. She has been taught three obedience and four virtues since she was a child, and meekness is engraved in her bones. Li Jin said that it would be solved, and she naturally believed it.
One night a few days later, as soon as Ah Xiang finished feeding Li Jin to eat, her amniotic water broke.
"Come on!" Li Jin said, raised his almost bald arm, and cheered Ah Xiang up.
Ah Xiang bent down and kissed Li Jin's lips, "You just wait for me here, I'll bring you the calf over in a while." ”
Calf is the nickname they give to their children. Whether they are born male or female, they want their children to be as strong as their calves.
Li Jin gave her a bright smile in return.
Here, Chen Axiang was helped into the delivery room, and a solemn ceremony began at the entrance of the village. There is a huge statue of a mountain girl on the stone platform, and countless torches are lit around it, which illuminates the stone platform transparently.
"The Mountain Maiden has sent down an oracle, as long as this sinner Li Jin can survive the execution until his child is born, his child can be pardoned."
"Oh!" The villagers shouted and shouted, their expressions fanatical. In the presence of the mountain maiden, they will punish this blasphemous and appease the mountain maiden's anger.
Under the witness of the whole village, Li Jin's body was about to be cut off little by little and thrown into the stone mill for grinding.
In order to make himself last longer, Li Jin asked the executioner to cut off as little as possible each time. But because of this, he also had to suffer even more.
At this time, Ah Xiang was lying on the bed, following the instructions of the midwife, and began to breathe, breathe,.
"Yes, do what I say, inhale, exhale, exhale, exhale....... You're the first child, it won't be so fast! The midwife said while wiping Ah Xiang's sweat.
On the altar, Li Jin's last bit of arms and legs had been sawed and ground, followed by his hips. Although Li Jin's face showed endless pain, his eyes always looked at the village, where their home was.
The villagers' expressions were blank, but their eyes were full of anxiety. They didn't know if this would be enough to appease the mountain girl's anger.
Ah Xiang in the delivery room was sweating profusely and screaming loudly, "Ah, I'm not giving birth!" Ah Jin, Ah Jin! ”
The punishment on the altar was still going on, the sky was already brightening ,......, waist and abdomen, and only curling green smoke was left on the torches.
The long period of torture made Li Jin's eyes a little confused. His clothes were soaked with sweat. The mountain breeze is cool and dry. Sweat is wet and dry, over and over again, leaving patches of sweat alkali.
Some villagers have lowered their heads and stopped watching. Some secretly shed tears and quickly wiped them off. There was also a small group of villagers, who had fanatical expressions all the time, and their eyes refused to stagger half a point from Li Jin.
Li Jin's consciousness was a little blurred, but he still persisted.
Ah Xiang in the delivery room is making her last effort.
"If you see the head, push harder!"
"Hmm!" With Ah Xiang's muffled snort, her stomach was empty. "Born, it's a boy!"
The midwife skillfully cut the umbilical cord, grabbed the baby's feet, and patted it, "Wow, wow!" The loud cry of the baby soared into the sky, and the sun on the eastern horizon leaped out and sprinkled a thousand rays of light.
The intestines have been pulled out, and the stomach has been taken out.
A person finally came out of the village, "Born, it's a brat!" ”
Li Jinqiang raised his eyes and saw the patriarch nodding at him, so he swallowed his last breath.
At this time, there was silence among the villagers.
Li Jin lasted for more than ten hours, endured inhuman pain, and saved his son. Such a deep father's love makes the villagers can't help but feel respect.
But the calf's death sin can be spared, and the living sin cannot be escaped. Although he is still from the village, he will be raised by someone else, and he will not be able to recognize his biological mother.
After the ceremony, the mountain maiden began to protect the villagers again. It's just that she's gradually starting to be less responsive than before.
In the past decade or so, the villagers have received little response from the mountain maidens.
Grandma Chen suppressed her voice and stopped.
Jiu Ying followed and stopped, but found that this was not the entrance of the village, but a cliff.
Grandma Chen called Jiuying forward, "Can you open this thing?" ”
Jiu Ying stepped forward and found that it was a hole covered by the formation. The technique is very familiar, it is his own ancestor!
Speaking of which, Shizu is also a strange person. He is extremely talented, and he has made a great name at a young age, but he does not want to carry forward the sect.
He only took in two apprentices. The eldest apprentice Yan Qinghai, that is, the father of Jiuying's boyfriend Yan Feng, and the younger apprentice Zhou Tianshi, Jiuying's father.
He consciously accepted the apprentice, which was to explain to the master. He only taught a rough idea, and handed over all the classics and the operation of the master to the two apprentices.
And he, under various pseudonyms, wanders around.
His favorite thing is to first make people think that he is a big liar, and then reverse it. It's a bad taste!
It seems that Liang Kuan here is also the ancestor.
At this time, Jiuying also saw that the ancestor used the teacher's communication method to leave a message.
"Evil spirits are hard to collect, and contemptible people are invincible. The seal is weakened and left for posterity. ”
Jiuying looked at the payment of time, it was forty-nine years ago.
Jiu Ying thought, but he was not slow at all. "Crackling", the stone wall in front of me opened, revealing a dark cave.
