Chapter 2: Reminiscences
Mu Yanxiao's eyes sank: "Who said that my heart is empty, I just didn't expect you to scold me before you closed your eyes, it's been fifty years, you have become an old man, and you still have to hold on to the past, I really obey you." ”
"Am I an old man now?" Shen Yan asked suddenly.
Mu looked at Shen Yan's young face with a smile and was stunned for a moment: "No." ”
"Do you know why not?" Shen Yan asked again.
Mu Yan smiled as if he had a glance in his eyes, and said casually: "How do I know?" ”
"Because of you, my period has become my shadow forever, I am dead, and I still can't forget what I was like when I was most miserable, because of you, I dare not deal with women, because of you, I have become the object of ridicule by others, do you think you can have today because of that bottle of elixir? You're wrong, it's not an elixir, it's my blood. ”
"What?" Mu smiled and was shocked.
"I was originally a great god above, because of the needs of the immortal profession, I had to find a fairy partner, so before going down to earth, I went to the 'immortal place' and took the bottle containing my blood and immortal age to go down to earth, and then I met you, a deeply hidden liar."
Listening to Shen Yan's words, Mu Yanxiao's thoughts couldn't help but return to the period when the grievances began fifty years ago.
That year, Mu Yanxiao was just a mortal, a mortal who still believed that he could get ahead after all the humiliation. A mortal who lives only by begging every day.
At the foot of the city wall that day, Mu Yanxiao, who was just a little beggar, sat in place as usual, staring down at the broken silver in his rotten bowl, and his heart was full of trouble, when a fat man appeared in front of her with a few thugs.
"Mu Yanxiao, how much did you earn today?"
Mu Yanxiao raised his face to look at the fat man as usual, and said with a smile: "Big brother, you also know that people are becoming more and more reluctant to give us alms. That's a little bit a day, and if you want it, you can take it. She carefully pointed to the broken silver in the rotten bowl.
The fat man squatted down with difficulty, looked at Mu Dark's smiling face, and said, "Uncle Ben has always been suspicious of your gender, you..." He glanced at Mu with a scrutinizing gaze from top to bottom, and asked with a gasp, "Are you a man or a woman?" ”
"I'm definitely a man." Mu Yan smiled and bowed and said.
"You're a man." The fat man said in a strange tone.
Mu smiled unnaturally at the few men standing behind the fat man, then looked back at the fat man and said, "Big brother, what kind of person I am, you should know it, you ask me like this," she touched the back of her head: "I'm really embarrassed." ”
"I found a woman among your beggars the other day, do you know what happened to her?" The fat man laughed evilly.
Mu smiled embarrassedly: "We still have a woman here, why don't I know?" ”
The fat man didn't listen to Mu Yanxiao's question at all, and continued: "That woman's fate is that Lao Tzu was sold into the Qinglou, and now she earns Lao Tzu money," he reached out and scooped up the broken silver in the rotten bowl, tossed it twice in his hand, and said, "It's much more than you." ”
"Yes, it's a pity. I'm not a woman. Mu smiled dryly and said.
"Look at the thin skin of your face, if only you were a girl." The fat man said, stuffing the broken silver into his arms and not returning the order: "Pull Lao Tzu up." ”
