Chapter 19: You promised me and drank it
Yu Xing sat in the grass, he was squatting, but after a while, he found that squatting was too tired.
He was very patient, and he saw everything in front of Lao Zhang's house through the leaves.
Lao Zhang went out hunting, and Lao Zhang's daughter-in-law also wanted to go to the fields not far away to do farm work, and after greeting Mai Mai and asking her to stay at home obediently, the woman went out.
It was about twelve o'clock in the afternoon, and the speed of time in this world was strange, and Yu Xing could only judge the approximate time by the position of the sun, Mai Mai walked out of the house, poked his head out and looked out.
Normally, at this time, my mother, who was out doing farm work, should have arrived home to cook lunch for her, but I don't know what happened today, and my mother has not come back yet.
Mai Mai's mood was still affected by the dispute in the morning, and he was mournful, pouting and planning to go back to the house to continue waiting.
Suddenly, an equally small figure ran not far away, it was a little fat man of twelve or thirteen years old, and the little fat man greeted her with a smile: "Mai Mai! ”
Mai Mai looked over strangely and recognized it, this was Li Bao, the son of Li Fugui's family.
Although there are few people in this village and only a few children, she doesn't like to play with this person, so she doesn't have any intersections.
What did Li Bao tell her to do?
"What for?" She looked at Li Bao, who was getting closer and closer, and suddenly had a bad premonition.
Mai Mai stepped back, she had already retreated to the back of the house, as long as the door was closed, Li Bao would not be able to touch her.
Li Bao obviously knew it, so he slowed down and stammered, "Mai Mai, I'm here to apologize." My father went home and said what happened in the morning, and was scolded by my mother, my mother said that you should be polite when you take other people's things, and my father has no conscience. ”
Mai Mai paused in his backward steps and looked at Li Bao again.
She thought about it and felt aggrieved, if Li Bao's mother spoke for her, it didn't seem to be unforgivable, after all, the little girl was still simple: "Really?" ”
"Really, really! My mother also said that I am afraid that my father will scare you, so let me apologize for my father, whether you forgive my father or not, I will give this to you. Li Bao said, stretching out his hands, Mai Mai's eyes couldn't help but look into his hand, which was holding an origami butterfly.
Little butterfly!
Mai Mai's eyes lit up, and he hesitated to rub a few steps out: "I, I don't want to blame your father, but your father wants to apologize to my father!" …… When my mom and dad come back! ”
"Uh-huh, I'll go back and tell my dad!" Li Bao didn't seem to be angry anymore when he saw Mai Mai, and raised the paper butterfly to Mai Mai, "Give it to you." ”
Mai Mai hesitated again, Li Bao was two years older than her, tall, covered in flesh, and a little oppressive when he looked at it.
However, the other party is just a child, so he shouldn't be a bad person.
"Okay." She pursed her lips and said reservedly, then walked over to Li Bao and took the little paper butterfly.
However, the next moment, Li Bao grabbed her wrist violently.
The paper butterfly fell to the ground and was trampled under the feet of Li Bao, who took a step forward.
Mai Mai panicked and shouted, "What are you doing! ”
She intuitively felt that something was wrong, and tried her best to break free, but Li Bao also took out the strength to eat milk and grabbed her tightly, so that she couldn't leave.
Li Bao turned around and shouted, "Dad! Mother! Caught! ”
Several adults ran out of the surrounding hidden places, Li Fugui smiled fiercely, and dragged Mai Mai from Li Bao's hand: "The little cub is quite vigilant, and he has finally been tricked, are you afraid, huh?" ”
In addition to Li Fugui, several people who made trouble in the morning were there, as well as Li Fugui's daughter-in-law, all of whom stared at Mai Mai with bad intentions.
Mai Mai had never seen this kind of battle, she was directly frightened and cried, she cried and shouted for her father, and on the way to struggle, she lowered her head and bit hard, biting Li Fugui's hand out of blood.
"Little Wild Seed!" Li Bao saw his father being bitten, and without saying a word, his scholar's father beat people, and slapped Mai Mai in the face.
Li Fugui's daughter-in-law looked at this scene, not only was not shocked by the action, but touched Li Bao's head: "Good son, I know that I am helping your father." ”
In addition to Li Bao, others are also scolding, and all kinds of words that should not be said to the little girl are one after another, which is unbearable.
Mai Mai cried even more, she really wanted her father to come back, she really wanted Brother Yu to come back, these people never dared to bully her when Brother Yu was there.
Yu Xing grabbed the blade of grass with one hand, looking at this scene expressionlessly, and his fingers moved subconsciously.
He heard Mai Mai's cry for help and felt Mai Mai's blind trust in him.
But he chose to stay where he was, telling himself:
It's just a rehash of the past...... Even if he saves people now, it won't change what has happened, what he needs more now is to follow these villagers to see the truth of what happened.
It is reasonable, but Yu Xing's palms have been embedded in the flesh by his own nails, leaving drops of fresh blood.
Li Fugui and his entourage made a lot of noise at the door of Lao Zhang's house, and every household in the small village could hear it.
One by one, they went out, pointing and judging in the hope that the wheat would rise and die.
"Li Fugui is going to send her to the next village?"
"Lao Zhang knows, don't look for Li Fugui to work hard."
"Lao Zhang? It was already too late for him to come back, and after talking about Mai Mai, who was kidnapped by so many people together, he wanted to work hard, could he still settle accounts one by one? ”
"Why didn't Lao Zhang's daughter-in-law come back?"
"My mother-in-law is responsible for dragging Lao Zhang's daughter-in-law in the field, she will definitely not come back."
"I heard that there is a habit of cannibalism in the village next door."
"But the material conditions are good, Li Fugui has gone to the next village to negotiate many times, and I heard that as long as the goddess is satisfied with the person who sent it, she will distribute meat to our village every month in the future."
"Actually, Lao Zhang has given me a lot of meat, and I can't see Mai Mai's child like this......"
"If you can't see it, don't look at it, give it to your home? Hmph, he didn't give me home! Our whole village can eat meat, isn't it better than his old Zhang family, everyone has to see his good face? ”
This is really unconscionable.
Lao Zhang's personality is simple and kind, only when others are unreasonable, he will give a face, this kind of character is good or not, it is too easy to be bullied, and what is paid has become a matter of course.
Yu Xing listened to it roughly, and all of these villagers actually knew about today's events, and many of them were even directly involved!
Therefore, the kindest and most capable Lao Zhang family, after paying kindness, was concealed by everyone in the village and snatched the child.
Mai Mai's voice was hoarse, and he was forcibly dragged by Li Fugui and his party to the outside of the village.
Almost only a minute or two away, Lao Zhang's daughter-in-law hurriedly ran back, and when she saw the wide open door and the villagers who didn't have time to return to the house, she was stunned at first, and then a touch of fear came to her mind.
She rushed into the house and searched for it, but no, and walked around the village for a while, shouting hysterically at others: "What about my daughter! ”
No one answered her, and everyone's attitude of avoiding talking made Lao Zhang's daughter-in-law realize something, and after leaving a series of broken wails, she rushed into the woods leading to the direction of Shenpo's village.
Yu Xing's gaze gradually became cold.
Betrayal and greed, he already knows what is going on.
Obviously, even if Li Fugui sent Mai Mai, the goddess did not mean to "divide the meat" among them, but with mockery, when she talked about this small village with Yu Xing, it seemed to be a joke.
He got up slowly, adjusted to the anemia-like dizziness that he had never remembered before, ignored the pain in his palms, and began to chase Li Fugui and them.
He was not afraid of losing it, because the rabble was certainly not as fast as him.
"Human nature, how ugly can it be?" When Yu Xing left, only a cool sneer was left in place, and a few drops of red blood that had not clotted.
What happened after that was not as Yu Xing expected, he caught up with Li Fugui and a few people in the forest, even a little faster than Lao Zhang's daughter-in-law, and continued to sneak in the forest to follow.
Therefore, he watched the tragedy that happened when Lao Zhang's daughter-in-law angrily found them, and he didn't miss it at all.
Mai Mai frantically begged for help when she saw her mother, and Lao Zhang's daughter-in-law was also crazy, she probably never got as angry as she is today, because the same villagers who have lived together for so many years actually want to send her child to death.
Naturally, she lost her mind and just wanted to get the child back, so she started with this group of people.
She's just a woman, even though she's still a woman because she usually does farm work harder.
As for Li Fugui and them, the matter has been done, so they must succeed, otherwise, when Lao Zhang comes back from hunting, plus the outsider who has always had a bad temper, maybe they will really kill them.
They felt that they had no way out, so, a few men ...... beat Lao Zhang's daughter-in-law to death.
Mai Mai's shouting changed from "Mother save me" to "Mother run", but it was too late.
She watched her mother, who usually doted on her, be beaten to the ground by a group of people, and then looked at her with her eyes open for a minute...... Two minutes...... Keep your eyes open forever.
Yu Xing blinked, feeling the violence in his heart surging wildly, and his chest was very uncomfortable, it was a feeling of sourness and anger.
"I must not have let these fuckers survive before."
Mai Mai's desperate expression came back to his mind over and over again, and his memory barrier loosened again.
……
Lao Zhang's face crossed in front of him, and in this new memory, he seemed to be running towards Lao Zhang's house from a distance, just running closer. I saw Lao Zhang with a hideous face and slashed at Li Fugui with an axe, but was smashed by another man from behind.
Lao Zhang fell down with his eyes open, sticks came from all directions, and many men in the village smashed him with expressions of fear and pleasure, and soon, he could not get up again.
Yu Xing's memory of himself stopped, standing in place, stunned and unthinking, as if digesting the fact that Lao Zhang, who had taken him in for half a year, died like this.
A few seconds passed
Blood rains down from the sky.
The viscous liquid, with its fishy sweetness, poured into the dirt and stained the small village red.
Everyone who was immersed in the joy of success turned into horror at that moment, looked at the sky, and after a while, looked at Yu Xing, who was moving forward step by step.
He stepped forward and picked up Lao Zhang's usual axe and cut the men with sticks in half.
The darkness of the sky surged from his body, and the cold aura of death permeated with the power that devoured everything, and Yu Xing dragged his body in his prime, shuttling through every room, causing these people to be tortured with fear in the moment before they died, and then died on the blade of the axe.
This small village, in less than thirty seconds, has become a small hell on earth, at that time, Yu Xing looked at this scene, and a sickly smile appeared.
That's right, isn't it, these people only deserve to wail in hell.
……
Yu Xing fell into a trance, and it took a long time to get out of memory.
He shook his head, trying to shake off the negativity that had filled his chest.
"In the past, when I was hunting, I didn't realize that Mai Mai and Lao Zhang's daughter-in-law were killed, and I couldn't save the outnumbered Lao Zhang when the hunting was over...... Even if I had the whole village to bury them, what was the use, what a waste. Cursing himself, he raised his eyes.
"Huh?"
The scenery in front of him is not the same as just now, there is no corpse of Lao Zhang's daughter-in-law on the ground, and there are no footprints of others, on the contrary, this is the scenery of the mountains and forests between the village where the goddess is located and the lake is very familiar.
During the time he was in a trance, his position actually changed silently.
"Wait, did I skip the timeline again?" Before, he would only jump after a good night's sleep, but now, he came after standing and staying for a while.
Is it because he remembers part of the event, so he doesn't need to go through it all over again, so he continues to jump...... Yu Xing thought so and looked down at himself.
The bandages on his body had disappeared completely, and the skin under his clothes was as smooth as ever, as if the terrible injury had never existed.
"I'm back, Shi Wei, wait a minute!" The voice of the goddess sounded from behind him, and Yu Xing looked back to see that the goddess who had changed into a dress was walking towards him with a bowl in her hand.
In fact, Yu Xing has already sorted out the way these timelines appear.
The two villages, the small village where Lao Zhang's family is located, the timeline is disrupted, and it is completely according to the history that has happened, even if he makes a different choice, the next time he goes to another timeline, he still can't change anything.
For example, in reality, he did not lose his memory after escaping from the experimental base, and in the falsehood, he did not tell Lao Zhang's family his name because of amnesia, but after jumping to the small village again at different times, Lao Zhang's family still knew his real name, which should have been told by Lao Zhang's family in reality.
And in the big village where the goddess is located, the timeline is forward, and all the plots change because of the choices he makes now.
In reality, Yu Xing has been living in a small village, and knowing that Lao Zhang is dead, he slaughtered the village, so he went to the big village in order to find Mai Mai.
And now, he entered the big village without knowing anything, and was persuaded by the goddess to stay, and every time change was premised on the latter.
For example, the goddess holding the bowl here.
"Shi Wei, you promised me, drink this bowl of blood, become a believer of the priest, and be with me forever." She put the bowl in Yu Xing's hand, and Yu Xing looked at it, only to see the thick blood that had been opaque all night, and the reflection of his obviously bad face in the blood.
