Chapter 36: The Debt of Sin
The baby stopped crying as if she understood Gu Yuyin's words, and her two big black eyes also turned to the direction of the tower gate, but she didn't see the "person" in Gu Yuyin's mouth, only saw a red firelight, so she turned her head around again, and actually let out a "giggle" laugh at Gu Yuyin.
"You saw him too, didn't you?" When Gu Yuyin saw her laughing, she laughed too, but it didn't take long for the smile to freeze on her face and turn into a strange expression.
He saw the man in the fire bent slightly, picked up a green brick from the ground and placed it on the half-built pedestal, smeared it with a layer of mortar, and bent down to carry another brick. He repeated the same motion, and the tower was slowly built up under his nimble hands, and little by little it took shape. When the last brick was sealed, the man looked up, only to find that the sky above him was completely blocked by the tower, and he was in the deep darkness, unable to touch a single light.
In the flash of the fire, he saw another picture: the man was holding a bowl of soup, handed it to the woman sitting on the bed, and said, "Drink it, let the child be reincarnated, it will be good for both of you; He also said: We will have another child, I promise, he will come back to us. The woman then tilted her head and poured down the bowl of brown soup, and with tears in her eyes, she tasted the most bitter taste in the world.
"Uh-huh." The baby in his arms stretched out an arm and gently touched Gu Yuyin's chest with his white and tender fingers. Gu Yuyin looked down at her as if in a dream, tears fell down the vertical and horizontal furrows on her face, dripping on her bulging face.
"It's me," he said lightly, and he fell to the ground with a dry howl that didn't know whether to cry or laugh, "It's me, it's me who built this tower, it's me who killed my own children with my own hands, all these sins that I created." ”
When he said this, a cold wind suddenly rolled up around him, mixed with flying snowflakes, and flew towards the Jade River behind the tower. There was a song in the wind, and the sound seemed to burst through his eardrums, burrowing into his body, stirring up his blood.
At the same time, he saw countless small footprints, coming out from behind him, stepping on the ground, spreading forward, passing through the small tower, and heading towards the Jade River.
"The heir will reduce his life, and when he asks for his life, he can't eat the umbilical cord and when he asks for his life, and when he can't eat his life, he can't eat his umbilical cord and when he asks for his life, he can't eat his umbilicus."
The singing voice whistled between his internal organs, Gu Yuyin's eyes lit up suddenly, as if they were instantly ignited by the flames in the tower, he shook his head, looked at the figure behind him that was getting closer and closer, Qi Qiran smiled, and burst into tears, "It's me, no, it's also them, they, don't even want to live." ”
After saying this, he held up the baby girl in his arms high, and shouted at Baotian, who was at the front of the crowd, "Don't come here, if you take another step up, I'll throw her into the tower, anyway, I've burned so much, I don't care if she has one more." ”
Baotian was so frightened by this sentence that he stopped suddenly, standing in place and not daring to move again, but the villagers who followed behind him ran towards Gu Yuyin regardless of it, and they didn't mean to stop at all. They didn't notice the flame-lit baby tower and the dense footprints around the tower, and they didn't even notice the seeping sneer on Gu Yuyin's face, and only rushed towards the figure that was already a little blurred by the firelight.
Sure enough, when Gu Yuyin saw them coming, he suddenly turned around and ran around the tower in the direction of the Yuhe, the wind mixed with snow flakes swept across his face, cutting his cheeks painfully, but he didn't care, only freed up one hand to protect the head of the baby in his arms. She cried again, probably frightened by the sound of shouting and killing behind her. Don't be afraid, Gu Yuyin put the swaddling clothes close to his chest, they can't hurt you anymore, they are about to die, and they can't hurt you anymore.
"Little sister, little sister"
Yu's voice came from behind, it was a little terrifying, but Gu Yuyin couldn't hear it, because the water of the Jade River a few feet away was already rolling up, but what came out of those huge bubbles was not hot gas, but a white mist with ice cubes to the bone.
"The heir will reduce his life, and when he asks for his life, he can't eat the umbilical cord and when he asks for his life, and when he can't eat his life, he can't eat his umbilical cord and when he asks for his life, he can't eat his umbilicus."
The song came out of the river, poignant, sharp, and so high that it seemed to be able to pierce through the skin of a person. It pounced on Gu Yuyin, who had been forced to the river, and the black-pressed crowd around him, like sharp claws, scratching frantically, opening up their blood-stained memories.
"It's really not angry, it's a woman again, quickly, send it to Gu Lizheng, don't let her spoil the luck of the family"
"In this great famine year, there can't be one more mouth in the family, send it away, send it away"
"This baby is thin and weak, I'm afraid it's not easy to feed, I'll get sick in a few days, you and I won't be able to live"
"A bowl of cold medicine, I don't want to spend a few more copper plates, now that the children have been born, I have to send them away, in case they are discovered by the government, how can I get it?"
"The heir will reduce his life, and when he asks for his life, he can't eat the umbilical cord and when he asks for his life, and when he can't eat his life, he can't eat his umbilical cord and when he asks for his life, he can't eat his umbilicus."
A huge wave slowly rose on the surface of the river, rising higher and higher as the song rose, so high that it almost touched the black oppressive sky. In the middle of the waves were thin, sharp ice cubes, like steel needles, shining with a crystal light, and they seemed to be about to fall from a great height.
The crowd finally woke up, let out a burst of exclamations, and retreated to the rear, only Yu and Baotian walked in the opposite direction, still desperately running towards the river.
"Baotian, take care of Yuyin."
Zhao Zimai's anxious voice came from behind, and Baotian raised his head to see Gu Yuyin nodding slightly at him. The next moment, he suddenly raised his arm and threw the swaddling swaddling clothes in his direction.
There was a roar, and the waves crashed down from mid-air and rushed into the panicked crowd by the river, but the next moment, everything was quiet, and the waves faded, leaving behind an unrecognizable corpse.
Each of them was pierced by thousands of ice cubes.
And Baotian, who had already jumped out, was gone, along with the baby who was thrown out by Gu Yuyin.
"Ahh ”
