Volume 1: The Source of Life Chapter 162: Mother
Jing Zhan is gone.
The four of them became more and more silent as they hit the road.
When Jing Zhan was there, he was also a person who didn't talk much.
You talk to him, he will answer seriously, you don't talk to him for a day, he can go a day without talking.
And now, he is gone, and he is alone to the north.
Everyone suddenly felt empty in their hearts, as if there was not one person missing, but a group of people missing around them.
"Sangyu, should we go to Mengcheng to have a look."
After Qingcheng, then pass by is Mengcheng.
If Sang Yu wanted to go and see, they were ready to take the big road, maybe there would be something to gain on the way.
"Let's go and see, maybe Monte City is better than we thought."
Along the way, they crossed the river and climbed the mountain.
The only difference is that due to successive disasters, the villages along the way are basically empty, and the fields are all barren grass.
That afternoon, they passed through another village.
Sang Yu stood at the door, looking at the village hesitantly, she had an inexplicable sense of terror. She did not dare to enter the village.
Originally, she was still young when she went to Spring City from Stone City, and everyone had been walking on the north side of the road.
This time they went back, because the meteorite destroyed the entire Qingcheng, they made a detour to the south side of the road.
This is a place they've never been before.
"Let's not go in."
Sang Yu stood hesitantly at the gate of the village road, she seemed to smell the smell of death.
The smell was never unfamiliar to her, but it didn't make her feel scared like this once.
Meng Qinghu looked at Sang Yu strangely, just now on the road, she said that there was a village to go over and take a look, if she could pick up some leaks.
Now what's going on here?
"If you don't go in, you won't go in."
Xiao Muchen took the lead and walked to the other side of the village road, so that they passed by the village gate, and they didn't need to enter the village, they just took a detour to the main road.
Inexplicably, everyone is silent, and I always feel that there is an indescribable emotion pressing on my heart.
Seeing that everyone was about to walk out of the confines of the village and turn towards the main road, Sang Yu suddenly stopped and looked at the middle of the village steadily.
"What, did you find anything?"
Xiao Muchen walked over and followed Sang Yu's gaze to look into the village, the shadows of the trees were swaying, and he couldn't see anything clearly.
Meng Qinghu knew that Sang Yu's hearing was different from ordinary people, and she must have found something before she stopped.
"Why don't you go and have a look."
Sang Yu looked at Meng Qinghu with a hesitant expression.
Xiao Muchen put his hand on her shoulder and said softly: "Sang Yu, don't be afraid, or you wait outside, I'll go in and take a look." ”
"Nope."
Sang Yu grabbed his arm, she used a little too much force, and her nails were a little white.
"No, let's go."
She dragged Xiao Muchen on a mission, as if she was afraid that as soon as she let go, he would run into the village.
Not to mention Xiao Muchen, even Meng Qinghu has never seen her so scared.
"Okay, if you don't go, you won't go, let's go."
Xiao Muchen grabbed Sang Yu's shoulders and led her to another way. Meng Qinghu and Shi Yandao followed behind them, vigilantly guarding the villages behind.
It's as if I'm afraid that if I don't pay attention, some monster will rush out of it.
After walking for about a few minutes, Sang Yu stood still and turned around, and she suddenly pulled out her feet and ran wildly, as if she was afraid that if she was one step slower, something terrible would happen.
Before the people arrived in the village, Sang Yu jumped onto a big tree at the edge of the village, and the whole person rushed straight to a building in the village like an arrow from the string.
Xiao Muchen followed closely behind her, and behind them were Meng Qinghu and Shi Yandao.
Sang Yu's body was still in the air, and before she fell, she saw her hand raised, and a green branch flew straight to the small building opposite. Soon, green vines crawled all over the window.
"Coax ......"
The windows and walls collapsed, and the situation inside was clearly presented in front of everyone.
Meng Qinghu didn't hold back, turned his head and ran to the side, vomiting wildly.
Xiao Muchen's throat moved, he held on for three seconds, ran to the other side and vomited.
A faint green bubble lingered around Sang Yu's body, isolating her from the smell of the outside world.
Of the four people, only Shi Yandao's face did not change, standing on the spot, as steady as Mount Tai.
He'd seen something more disgusting and unacceptable than this, and it was really nothing to him.
In the room on the west side of the first floor, a few pieces of meat were hung, and the spoiled meat exuded a pungent smell.
Inside, a woman sat under the lump of meat with a dull gaze, numbly guarding a pot and cooking something.
Sang Yu expanded the green bubble, and when Xiao Muchen and Meng Qinghu came over, they were all enveloped in it.
Meng Qinghu covered his chest with one hand, controlled the nausea surging up and down, and looked at Sang Yu: "What should I do, is she still a human now?" ”
"Sort of."
Sang Yu didn't know if she was a human being or not.
The collapse of the wall did not attract the attention of the woman, who gulped on the meat in the pot and vomited on her stomach after eating. After spitting up, I forced myself to eat.
You don't have to look to imagine how unpalatable the meat in her pot is.
Probably, she couldn't eat anymore, so the woman staggered to her feet and walked to the east room.
At this time, everyone realized that she had a problem with one of her legs, and she was dragging her steps forward when she walked.
Sang Yu's vines climbed on the window, her hand shook, and she frowned a little strangely: "She is taking a bath and changing clothes." ”
Take a shower and change clothes?
Such a strange move.
No wonder the vines of Mulberry did not destroy the house she entered.
About half an hour later, the woman appeared in the east room on the second floor with her hair wet, she opened the window and looked at the four people downstairs.
The gaze just swept over and did not notice them as well.
Maybe she noticed, but her mind was already silent in her own world, blocking out the people and things around her.
"What is she doing, weird. She wouldn't be the only living person in the whole village. ”
Shi Yan couldn't help but be curious, wanted to go upstairs to have a look, but was reluctant to get out of this green safety circle.
"She's probably a mom, and I hear the faint breathing of a child."
As soon as Sang Yu's words fell, she saw a woman holding a child and walking to the windowsill and sitting down, lifting her shirt and opening it to breastfeed.
The three boys all subconsciously staggered their gazes, only Sang Yu's eyes were firmly fixed on the windowsill, looking at the child in the woman's arms.
The child, about a year old, could not sit steadily, could not stand well, was so hungry that he had no strength to cry.
But as soon as he touched his mother's soft place, he immediately became fierce like a little beast, sucking and allowing it.
The woman's numb expression had a slightly different reaction, and she wrung her eyebrows to look at the child, her expression seemed to be sad and painful.
The woman should have no breast milk, and Sang Yu's sharp eyes found that as the child swallowed, a trace of red flowed from the corner of his mouth.
He drank blood, not breast milk.
Looking at the woman who was so thin that she was out of shape, Sang Yu was speechless in shock: "She ......"
Back then, my mother was pregnant with her and died of dystocia at birth, so she must have been reluctant and unwilling in her heart.
How helpless does a mother have to be to give up her young children?
Tears rolled down her dusty face like beads of broken thread.
It turns out that there is a mother like this, and her insistence when she eats meat is to be able to have a bite to feed her children.
Even if what she fed to her child was blood, it was her life that was about to die.
"Mom."
Sang Yu reached out to cover her mouth and swallowed her own whisper, it turned out that this was maternal love, a feeling she had never experienced.
"Sangyu, what's wrong with you?"
Meng Qinghu held Sang Yu's shoulder with some concern: "What did you see?" ”
Sang Yu shook her head, she didn't know what to say about what she was seeing.
The mother who forced herself to eat rotten meat, the mother who went to see her children and washed herself, the mother who fed her children with blood......
"Brother, I'll go up and have a look, don't go over, wait for me here."
Meng Qinghu flatly refused: "No, no one knows if that woman is in danger, don't go up, I'll go." ”
"I'll go."
Xiao Muchen and Shi Yandao both felt that it might be a very dangerous thing to go up, and the two of them also rushed to go over.
"I'll go by myself, I'm a girl, she shouldn't mind too much, what if you go and she goes crazy."
Sang Yu wasn't afraid that she wouldn't be able to subdue the woman, she was just afraid that she wouldn't be able to do it, and it was likely to hurt her or the child.
She glanced at the environment left and right, turned around and walked out of the small building.
In front of the building is a row of trees, various fruit trees, among which there are a few tall trees.
Mulberry Yu had the same hands, and the green vines in her hands were wrapped between the branches and leaves of the big tree, and soon she flew up and sat on the swing she had just built.
Shi Yandao looked at Sang Yu who was swinging on the swing and started singing, what is this girl doing? Isn't she going upstairs?
Meng Qinghu and Xiao Muchen didn't speak, just quietly watched the swing swing swing high under the big tree and slowly fall.
The girl's voice, clear and melodious, slowly floated over the village with the rise and fall of the swing.
Mom Under the moonlight
Quietly, I miss you
Quietly dripping in the blood
Mom, your arms
The swaddling clothes of the love of my life
There is the smell of your sun-dried clothes
Mom Under the Moon
With you, I have a home
Although parting is half a step, it is the end of the world
Why tear your eyes when you miss them
Love for a long time, for a long time
Happiness is born in a heart that hurts
Heaven is big
Only your love is flawless
The End of the Sky
Remember that you speak with your heart
Heaven is big
Only your love I gave to him
Makes his smile look like his mother
……
The woman by the window turned her head to look out the window, and the girl who looked like an elf was slowly swinging in the shade of the trees.
She got up in confusion, hugged the child in her arms tightly, and held the window railing in a trance.
Sang Yu's singing voice was as slow as rain and dew, moistening her heart little by little, and making her slowly recall her childhood.
Her mind was clear for a moment, and she thought of her dead parents, her lover, and her baby who was still waiting to be fed.
What about her children?
The woman looked at the arms in a panic, the emaciated child, sucking and allowing with her best efforts.
He is her child, and even if there is a little hope, she wants her child to live well.
