Chapter 194: The Child Who Talks to Animals
The old ancestor of the Chen family closed his eyes tightly, his brows tightened, and after a long time, he finally nodded lightly. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
"Mo'er was like that back then."
After the old man said this, he fell silent.
Liu He only listened quietly, but did not say words of comfort, because there were some things that could not be comforted at all.
After a long time, the old man stood up, picked up the wine jar and took a big sip, perhaps because of the strength of the wine, the old man, who had always been vigorous, seemed to be a little faltering at this moment.
He slowly walked out a few steps, looking at the looming Wanwu Gate on the opposite mountain, "This Yunyun Peak is Mo'er's favorite place when she was a child. Ever since he learned of his extraordinary talent, Mor's father had pinned all his hopes on him, and he was extremely harsh on him. While other children were playing around, he was practicing day and night, and every month, he only had one day to go out and walk around. On that day of the month, he would come here, alone in the mountains, and stay all day. I was always curious and didn't know what the hell he was doing in the mountains. One time I quietly followed him and came here. It turned out that the child had done nothing all day, just sat here and talked to the heavens, to the earth, and even to the animals on the mountain. Maybe the animals on this mountain are really psychic, and all those birds and beasts are lying quietly beside him, listening to him for a whole day. I used to think that Mo'er didn't like to talk, but that day I realized that Mo'er liked to talk to people so much. And he has been talking about happy things, from beginning to end, he has never complained about his father. I went back and inquired carefully and learned that it was Mo'er's father who ordered that no one should disturb Mo'er's practice, so no one dared to talk to Mo'er. Sadly, I, as a grandfather, didn't even know about it before. Ever since I was a child, I have never touched a finger of his father, but that day, I locked him in his room and beat him firmly. Mo'er's father was beaten by me, his nose was blue and his face was swollen, and he knelt on the ground and cried to me, saying that he was sorry for me and lived up to my expectations, and he could only hope to cultivate Mo'er into a talent. I looked at the son who was kneeling on the ground and weeping bitterly, and I thought of the grandson who was talking to himself on the mountain, but I couldn't do it anymore. ā
Liu He suddenly remembered the night when he met Chen Mo for the first time in the military prison, although he felt miserable at the time, but now that he thinks about it, Chen Mo just said some interesting stories in the army, and they were indeed some happy things.
Liu He remembered that every time Chen Mo wanted to chat with him, his expression full of anticipation and never concealed was really like a child, even if he was not allowed, he never gave up any glimmer of hope.
Why was he never given a chance to say a good thing before?
Looking at the open space in front of him, Liu He thought of the child who could only talk to the sky, the earth, and even animals, but had never been able to say a good word to others, and suddenly felt a little sad.
The world only knows that Wanwumen is proud of the rivers and lakes, and only knows that the Chen family has produced many masters, but they don't know what kind of price this false name has cost the three generations of the Chen family.
"Have you noticed that there is no movement at all on this cloud peak?" The ancestor of the Chen family said gloomily.
Liu He looked around when he heard this, and then realized that it was indeed a little strange.
Although the peak of the cloud is not high, the flat area on the top of this mountain is not small, but in such a large place, not even a bird cry was heard.
The ancestor of the Chen family did not explain, but continued to speak.
"That day, Mo'er came to this cloud peak alone, but when it was time for dinner, he hadn't come back yet. Mo'er has always been punctual, he always has breakfast, brings some dry food for lunch, and will definitely come back on time before dinner. Although he has martial arts, he is a child after all, and I feel that something is wrong, so I came here to look for him. It was on that day that I saw the scene described in the dossier. ā
The ancestor of the Chen family walked to the center of the clearing and pointed to the ground under his feet, "Here, this is not what it looks like. Like the surrounding area, it is also densely wooded. But that day, it was razed to the ground by Mo'er. I really couldn't accept it at the time, that silver-haired and red-eyed monster was my well-behaved and beloved grandson since childhood. But his appearance was exactly the same as what was recorded in the dossier. Around him, there were corpses of all kinds of birds and beasts scattered everywhere, and the hearts of those animals who were usually wild and listened to him quietly by his side were all dug out. I don't know what irritated him, but looking into his unfamiliar eyes, I knew he had completely lost his mind. I tried to knock him out, but he suddenly turned around and ran, and I chased after him, and found him crouching next to the carcass of a deer, stunned. I walked in and found the carcass of a pack of wolves next to it. I wanted to find out, so I watched from the sidelines, and after a while, the deer's body moved slightly, and I realized that it was a doe, and there was a fawn hidden under it. I took a look at the scars on the doe's body, which were not quite the same as those of other animals, and should have been killed by the wolves around her. Before she died, the doe protected the fawn under her, but the fawn was obviously badly injured, but it still struggled to crawl to Mer'er's side and gently licked Mer'er's hand. Mo'er looked at the fawn motionlessly, the white hair on its head gradually turned black, and its eyes returned to normal, and then she fainted. ā
After listening to this narrative, Liu He pondered for a moment and said in a low voice: "So, it was the death of the doe that stimulated him, and he became like that?" ā
The old ancestor of the Chen family shook his head, "I thought so at first, but when I sent Mo'er back and came back to check on myself, I found other clues. There was also an arrow on the doe's body, but it was crushed under her at the time, and I didn't notice it for a while. So I looked around, and sure enough, I found the bodies of two hunters not far away. The hearts of these two hunters were also dug out, and next to their corpses, there was also a sword of my Chen family. ā
"The sword of the Chen family?" Liu He frowned, "Could it be Chen Mo?" ā
"Yes, it's Mo'er's. I called for the bodies of these two hunters to be identified. It was found that although these two people were dressed as hunters, they were actually notorious robbers in the neighborhood, and they went to people's homes to ask for a bowl of water to drink in the name of hunters on weekdays, but they were actually going to investigate. If the owner's family is wealthy, the two will do it on the spot. thought that these two people had come to the mountains to hunt some prey as a cover, so that they could do the murderous and overselling business again, but they didn't expect to meet Mo'er. I guessed afterwards that the whole process should have been that Mo'er had started with the two of them first, and in the process of doing so, she was stimulated, and after killing the two of them, she killed all the living creatures on the mountain. And the doe, I think, was too badly injured by the arrow, so it was killed after being chased by the wolves, not at the hands of Mer'er, because only the doe's heart was not dug out. ā
