Volume 1 Deadly Sins 02 A bite sensation all over the body

"What's wrong with Ming'er" When the mother and son were sensational, a middle-aged man walked in from the outside, the man had an extremely conspicuous Chinese face, and his scattered and thick hair was tied back by him at will.

"Father" Zheng Ming wiped away his tears as if nothing had happened, and called his father softly.

This is Zheng Ming's father, named Zheng Yi. The clansmen didn't know that Zheng Ming had memories since he was born, and it was precisely because of this that he knew that the man in front of him was different from everyone here.

This man who usually looks honest and loyal may not have discovered this himself, Zheng Yi's prestige in the clan is very high, in fact, it is not just because of the majestic identity of the patriarch, this man always treats the servants a little bit kindly on weekdays, causing him to be supported by the clansmen, although the cunning clan uncles are eyeing his position, they are suffering from Zheng Yi's prestige in the clan, so there is nothing to do.

"How old are you, and you still cry all day long" The man walked slowly inside, holding two things in his hand.

Perennial travel, Zhou's fell into a dark disease, every day need to take boiling clean water to alleviate, this is not a difficult thing, but after this great wilderness, clean water has undoubtedly become the most precious thing, Zheng Yi every time he takes someone out to collect, he has to spend time looking for a large amount of clean water for her, plus the dangerous situation outside, everyone knows how dangerous it will be every time he goes out to collect.

When he got closer, the man handed over the bone vessel filled with clean water to Zhou, looking at his cautious appearance, which made Zhou laugh frequently, and the previous oppressive atmosphere in the room was suddenly swept away.

Father and mother have been dependent on each other for many years, Zheng Ming has a great touch, and only at this time can he accept the fact of coming to this new world.

"Today is your birthday, you like to collect strange things when you are young, this time you went out to collect just to pick up a gadget as your birthday gift" Hearing the man mention his birthday, Zheng Ming noticed that the man had brought the small black box he was holding in his left hand to his eyes.

Although the small black box is small but very exquisite, the whole body is made of high-quality sandalwood, and the dragon pattern carved on it is lifelike and coiled on the outside of the black box, and Zheng Ming seems to see the dragon's eyes faintly rotate in a flash.

It seems that my father must have found something amazing.

Zheng Yi didn't explain much about the box, and when he saw that Zheng Ming didn't react, he stuffed the box directly into his hand, and at the same time, he also noticed that Zheng Ming behaved strangely after hearing the collection, like the woman, he knew that this son was a little demented, but in this blood-like world, Zheng Ming seemed to have a gentle heart, and he couldn't tell whether it was good or bad.

Zheng Yi stepped forward and stroked Zheng Ming's head and said, "Actually, this collection is surprisingly easy, we not only collected half a year's food but also captured dozens of baskets of hairy rabbits."

"I've brought them all back intact as promised."

Hearing this, Zheng Ming looked at his father expectantly, hoping to see the truth of his father's words from his face, but his father just looked at him with a smile, his eyes full of love.

In fact, Zheng Ming already believed it when his father said this, and his father didn't need to lie to him, even if it was just to satisfy the tenderness in his heart.

"I'll go out and have a look" After wanting to pass, Zheng Ming straightened his clothes and ran out in ecstasy with the box.

"This kid"

......

"Great, we can get through it again"

"That's right, I heard that the big one led the team out to collect today, and there were no casualties."

"I just saw hundreds of baskets of stone vegetables and dozens of baskets of hairy rabbits."

Perhaps this collection solved the problem of eating in the bone pen for a short time, Zheng Ming rarely saw this happy scene, and even those damn clan uncles in his eyes were dancing with excitement at this time.

"Young master, the big one brought back a lot of food today" You'er trotted to him as soon as she saw Zheng Ming, but Zheng Ming, who was stunned, didn't notice it

"Well, that's good, that's good" Zheng Ming pretended to be old and heavy and replied to You'er, even so he couldn't hide his excited heart at the moment, in this blood-like world, Zheng Ming couldn't tell whether his gentleness was good or bad, You'er felt that the young master seemed to be "sick" again, and hurriedly pushed Zheng Ming to a pile of stone vegetables.

Zheng Ming is familiar with these stone vegetables that look similar to potatoes, although these stone vegetables look gray and not slippery, but they have quite moisture and nutrition, maybe in the era of peace, money is synonymous with treasure, but it is indeed a rare treasure for people living in a barren and peaceful environment.

"This is the second time we have collected this stone vegetable, these stone vegetables grow on the periphery of the lizardman's lair, because of the danger, it is quite a fluke to collect it, I don't know how, today the nest is surprisingly quiet, when we went around the periphery, there was not a single lizardman encountered" At this time, Zheng Yi led Zhou to Zheng Ming's side.

"Big, big lady" After Zheng Yi and Zhou approached, several middle-aged men and women in clean clothes knelt on the ground alone, while the rest of the people also knelt on their knees, prostrate and waited for Zheng Yi's return gift.

After Zheng Yi returned the salute, everyone dispersed and continued to participate in the sealing of these foods. To say that it is sealed is nothing more than sealing these stone vegetables with special bone tools and then burying them in the soil.

In front of the "father, mother", Zheng Ming gave up his hand and did enough courtesy, otherwise those uncles didn't know how to impeach this "idiot" nephew.

"Fang Cai Ming'er seems to have heard his father mention that his father took people to the periphery of the lizardman's lair on this trip?" After reacting from the surprise of the great victory, Zheng Ming noticed the strange thing that his father mentioned, he felt that something was wrong, but he couldn't say what the problem was.

Zhou beside him saw Zheng Yi wanting to speak and stopped, and Yu Guang skimmed to You'er, knowing that the father and son were going to talk about something again, Zhou bowed slightly and took You'er to help after bowing slightly.

"Father doesn't have to avoid You'er, she has always accompanied Ming'er since she was a child, so she naturally understands some truth" Zheng Ming waited for Zhou and You'er to leave before sighing softly.

"It's not that you can't let her know, but it's not good for her to know it, and you have to remember that You'er can be Ming'er's playmate, or she may not be a slave, but that's all" Zheng Yi had already warned Zheng Ming pointedly.

Zheng Ming knew that this was the first time his father gave a statement to You'er, his father and mother were different, although his father would also think that the rules set by his ancestors should not be messed up, but he did not regard Zheng Ming as a fool like others, and he did not feel that Zheng Ming's concept was completely wrong.

Zheng Ming knew his father's thoughts, but he didn't refute his father too much at this time, first, his father rarely expressed his attitude on this issue for the first time, and he no longer regarded You'er as just a servant in the family, although his father's thinking was still a little old-fashioned, but at least his father was already the best one among everyone, not to mention, he didn't have any other meaning for You'er.

The only difference between my father and him is that in this bloody world, my father is just following the mission of leading the people to live, maybe my father has such gentleness, but because he is the head of the clan, many times he must abandon this gentleness.

"I'm not qualified to comment on whether the world is right or wrong, I just don't think I should do this to people I trust."

Zheng Yi looked at Zheng Ming with deep meaning, sometimes he also wanted to know why a nine-year-old child would be so obsessed with the idea that everyone is equal, and avoid talking about it, many times Zheng Ming gave some profound insights at critical times, he was sure that no one had taught Zheng Ming these truths, and these truths were as if Zheng Ming was born to know.

"Child, don't blame your mother for portraying you as an idiot in the clan, she just can't understand what you say" The more you think about it, the more tired you become.

"Then does my father understand," Zheng Ming replied with his head down.

The breeze in the forest will feel cool on the body, and the wind in the wilderness can only be interpreted by words like being beaten, this wind swept away the loneliness in Zheng Ming's heart, warning him at all times, so that he had to face the bloody world in front of him.

"Ming'er, you always say that the world is like a man-eating ghost, what is a ghost, is it a soul, after a person dies, the lonely soul and wild ghost wander aimlessly, will it be cruel, or pitiful" It may be infected by Zheng Ming, or think of something, Zheng Yi looked at the dark sky at this time and muttered to himself, "Maybe it's pitiful"

The father and son looked up at the sky, and the other stared down at the ground, making the Zhou family, who was silently paying attention to this side in the distance, strange for a while, as if he noticed Zhou's strange gaze, Zheng Yi cleaned up his emotions and said, "Ming'er, what do you think our way out"

"I have said before that it is to rise up and resist, not afraid of life and death, and still have a glimmer of life" Maybe this question Zheng Ming has answered many times, and Zheng Ming replied like this in the soul.

"I knew it was the only way out, but I didn't," the father said softly, as if he was on guard against those ill-intentioned uncles.

A feeling of heart disappeared in a flash, like a basin of water splashed on Zheng Ming, Zheng Ming even felt that this basin of water was mixed with stiff ice, just because of his father's words, Zheng Ming suddenly felt uncomfortable, some unreasonable little things were combined by him, even he knew that if they united and dared to fight, they would have the strength to resist the lizard people, did the father and the clan uncles really not think of this, if they thought about it, but why did it become what it is now, what happened he didn't know, or that behind these lizardmen there was a more wise brain that calculated his father and them to such a point, but even so, the clansmen should not give up resisting, not to mention, things have been so bad that they are now.

So...... There is only one explanation, and his father, who is the patriarch, chose to survive.

"Naru'er, you're very smart, but a lot of times you have to hide this cleverness so that you can live longer, and your mother is also attentive to you"

Zheng Ming was silent and did not answer, at this time he was completely caught up in the final conclusion of the deduction and could not extricate himself, he did not believe that this was true, with his thoughts, he thought that this kind of behavior was called grass and human life, he felt strange in his father's body for the first time, and for the first time in this world, he felt like a flat boat in the sea, letting the water drift.

"I'll tell you a story" The father didn't comfort Zheng Ming, he knew that Zheng Ming had already speculated the result, in fact, Zheng Yi didn't have the heart to pay attention to Zheng Ming's thoughts at this time.

"Once upon a time there was a man who went out with his people to gather, but the wind was very strong, and the man and his people were separated."

When a person falls into a memory or falls into an immediacy emotion such as panic, people generally show that they are stunned, but at this time, Zheng Ming is stunned, and the father in front of him seems to be telling a memory that he does not want to recall.

"Do you know what the lizardmen's lair is like when they wander in the wilderness with their backs to the frenzied wind, the lizardmen's lair is made of huge skulls that we use to fight the lizardmen?"

"It was as if the lizardmen had not seen the man, and had allowed the man to pass by them, and they seemed to be frozen there by a force, motionless, and the man's nerves had been so oppressed that he thought the situation before him was hallucinating, and thought that he had returned to the barracks, and called out the names of his wife and children."

Zheng Yi's voice suddenly stopped while talking, Zheng Ming looked up at his father, and saw that the resolute father had tears flowing on his face.

"That man is a father?"

Zheng Yi didn't answer, and his silence made Zheng Ming suddenly frightened.

Later, in his father's long recollections, Zheng Ming decided that this happened to his father, which made Zheng Ming feel even more frightened, according to ten years of experience, the lizardmen were afraid of the skulls in the camp and almost the whole clan knew about it.

(Father must have seen something)

"When I was about to flee, those lizardmen suddenly moved, and a group of hungry and panicked lizardmen threw me to the ground fiercely, and those sharp claws almost pierced my arm" Zheng Yi didn't use the man's pronoun to tell about the past, and couldn't help but use the word "I" to continue to tell, Zheng Ming felt the thrill of the time from his words.

(But why is my father standing here alive)

Even if another person listens to what Zheng Yi just said, there will be a question as to why Zheng Yi survived in such a situation.

"They disappeared, even the small piece of arm flesh that was torn off my body disappeared along with it" Zheng Yi lifted the sleeve on his left arm at the right time to reveal a scarred scar, from which it can be judged that the injury has been a long time, but it is still shocking.

"I saw a book in the lizardman's lair, and it mentioned my name, recorded my life, and even the birthmark I had was clearly recorded"

"The main thing is that the last line of that book at that time reads"

"Lizardmen disappear into thin air"

Father's last sentence shocked Zheng Ming like a thunderbolt from the sky, a mysterious book recorded his father's life in detail, just like a historical record in the Chinese world of everything that has happened, but this book is more domineering, like having God's vision, recording the details of his father's life to the extreme.

Thinking of this, Zheng Ming's originally weird facial expression gradually became shocked, "Is it someone's prank?"

"It's not anyone's prank, it's more like a prophecy, it appeared out of thin air and is extremely accurate, I have carefully checked the handwriting on it, it has existed for at least 10,000 years" When he said this, Zheng Yi sat down on the ground as if his whole body had been stripped of his strength.

And his next sentence made Zheng Ming even more unacceptable.

"But the main character in the book is not me, it's you"

When I first heard about this book, I learned that my father was recorded in a book that was 10,000 years old, although it was terrifying but not so profound, when it happened to me, that creepy feeling almost spread all over my body, Zheng Ming felt like there were 10,000 ants crawling on him, and the biting sensation made him unbearable.

"What did it say about me" Zheng Ming silently stepped forward to help his father, but he couldn't help but ask.

"You're the only one who has a book that records that you died but didn't die, that you died in your mother's womb"

Father didn't continue to talk about this matter, and only he and the Zhou family knew about this matter, just imagine that in such an old-fashioned ethnic group, if other clansmen knew about this matter, they would definitely regard Zheng Ming as an ominous sign, which is why Zheng Yi stopped talking.

"What happened to everyone in the clan was recorded above, as if it had been foretold, but because I read the book, I was prepared, but ...... The people recorded in the book were still killed or stoned to death during that time for other reasons."

Zheng Yi has not many words, except for Zheng Ming.

"I thought about saving one or two people, or exchanging my own life for the life of one of them, and I found that I couldn't, it was like a pair of big hands at the mercy of me, not only me, but even those who were not recorded to die in that time period have one thing in common"

"Some of us can't die in that time period, and the people who die can't break free from the arrangement of fate as if they were predetermined."

At this moment, Zheng Ming thought of a horror movie he had seen, but what happened around him was even more incredible than that movie.

Zheng Ming didn't know how he got back to his residence, and his father told him a lot about the book, so he still couldn't digest it.

He sat on the edge of the bed for a long time, just looking down at the last birthday present his father had brought him, and his father's last words kept echoing in his mind.

"The book records your death repeatedly, not only in the womb, but also in the mouth of the lizardman......"
