Chapter 221: The Call of Hometown

Kong Shun is not a serious Confucian family, although his biological father is indeed a member of the Kong family, but his mother is a foreigner, and when asked about his origin, he can't say it clearly, but he still grew up in Fengmen Pass, and he doesn't know where his ancestral home is. Therefore, although the old man of the Kong family did not like it a lot, firstly, Kong Shun's mother was just a concubine, and secondly, after all, he was still a person from Fengmenguan, and he did not prevent this concubine from entering the door too much.

But who knew that Kong Shun was born like his mother. His twin brother just looks like each other, but Kong Shun inherited his mother's light-colored pupils, and in addition to being delicate and weak, he has an indescribable taste.

Therefore, when the old man in the family gave his name, he looked his two brothers up and down, named the second brother Meng, but named him Shun. Both of them are single words, in fact, according to the order, they are the people of the people. The eldest brother also has a person in his name, called Kong Minmiao, and when he came to them, he only had a single name, but the old man in the family didn't want to recognize the meaning of these two children.

His mother said it was safe and sound, but in fact she wanted him to be obedient.

For some reason, some old people in the family have a lot of mind about Kong Shun's biological mother, to be precise, her appearance.

Even if they gave up their two brothers, they were unwilling to admit this inexplicable, foreign bloodline.

Kong Shun's eye color is not good, and his health is not good, and the Kong family was gradually marginalized, and after Kong Minmo was named a guerrilla general, this trend became more and more obvious.

Because the two younger brothers have grown up, they need to participate in the affairs of the Kong family, let the family take care of them, or rely on their own skills to do business. Kong Meng was originally taken by Kong Minhao, but after Fang Ming was transferred, he was assigned to her again, Kong Shun thought that the eldest brother sent him to monitor this woman, but who knew that this woman actually sent Kong Meng to Kyoto with a backhand.

And Kong Shun, at the beginning, Kong Minmiao didn't show his intention to take him, in the words of his deceased father before his death, he couldn't do anything, he could rely on a few mouthfuls of food at home, who expected him to do anything.

Kong Shun was very annoyed when he heard this when he was a child, but now he is very convinced, he really can't do anything, and he can't get any grades in school, but fortunately, the eldest brother and the second brother are willing to support him, and there is no other prejudice against him.

Kong Shun was very sick when he was a child, and when he came out of his mother's womb, his second brother was much more normal, so some people said that his eye color was not good, and he was fatal, and if he didn't kill himself, he would kill the people around him.

Later, his biological mother died, and those people said that it was really his mother who died, Kong Shun heard it in his ears, and just thought they were funny.

He knows why he survived, not by those quacks, not by the so-called meticulous care, these are not the fundamental reasons why he has survived until now.

The reason why Kong Shun has been able to survive so far is entirely because when he had just turned thirteen, an envelope and medicine jar suddenly appeared in his room.

The envelope explained how to use the medicine, told him that these things could save his life, and the letter was signed by a lamb.

He searched all over the peak gate, but he didn't find it, and he never heard of it again, and no one would use the lamb as his signature.

And now, the byline has reappeared.

Kong Shun suddenly got up and said, "Stop!" ”

Xiao Er looked back at him blankly and tremblingly, and Kong Shun asked, "How many guests have come today?" Do you remember how old they were? ”

Xiao Er recalled: "Five, two women who ordered lunch to get it, three gentlemen who came to drink, there are really not many guests today." ”

"Age."

"Those two women, one is very young, cardamom age, one is probably over thirty, and the other three are all about the same age, and the oldest is not over forty."

Thirty to forty.

Kong Shun went to the weak crown this year, according to the handwriting and tone in the letter that year, the person who wrote to him and instructed him to take medicine back then was also an adult, regardless of whether he was male or female, just based on the impression given by words, Kong Shun preferred that it was a man. The odds are slim for a woman in her thirties. The other three men may have been the ones who gave him some letters.

Kong Shun asked again: "But familiar faces?" ”

Xiao Er said: "Oh, you may have seen those three people, they are the owners of the two shops next to each other on West Street, one of them is Shi Ji who has the fat belly in the morning, and took his cousin to drink two drinks at noon." ”

Kong Shun frowned again, then he did have a little impression, because the early one did really well, but how do you think, the owner of the breakfast shop who looks honest and honest will be the one who gave him the medicine.

After taking the drug, Kong Shun dreamed frequently, frequently had visual and auditory hallucinations, he began to see some strange and strange creatures, and sensed things that began to appear on his body, like living creatures.

Under the guidance of the dream, for the first time, he tried to mix his own blood into the porridge and rice that was given to the homeless.

He didn't know what the consequences would be, Kong Shun was just curious, frightened, and excited about the sound that appeared in the dream. He has been marginalized by the Kong family for too long, and he is going more and more crookedly.

But it was two years ago, on the day that the displaced people came to Fengmen Pass, the day Kong Shun sent out the porridge mixed with his own blood, he discovered the huge secret hidden in his body.

Kong Shun used the same technique on the dying old man at home, watching the old man tremble violently, he leaned over and approached, stared at the old man's cloudy eyes, and asked cruelly and gently: "It's not so much that you look down on it, you were actually afraid of my mother at the beginning, weren't you?" ”

The old man had a shriveled mouth, and his lips were dehydrated fruits, emitting a musty smell.

Kong Shun smiled and asked, "Where are we from?" Why are you afraid? What are you afraid of? ”

He stretched out his hand, the cut had not yet healed, the new scab was red, he cut it again and poured it into his decoction in front of the old man.

The old man clicked in horror, and he forced half a bowl down.

Immediately, on the last night of the old man's life, the man who had been thought to have little time to get out of bed or speak again suddenly got up from the bed, called his children and grandchildren, and put part of the Kong family's land into the names of Kong Minhao and Kong Meng.

On the night that his last words were spoken from the old man's mouth, Kong Shun sat in his bedroom, trembling with excitement, he once again confirmed his own ability, and once again felt the taste of controlling others.

He was able to forcibly control others through his own blood, and most of these people lived shortly, just like the old people of the clan, like the outcasts at the beginning, some of them died violently the next day, and some of them lived for a while and died for various reasons.

In the end, only three survived.

Correspondingly, he began to suffer from pain frequently, and once someone under his control died, Kong Shun would be inflicted ten times the pain, and it was not impossible that he would die of pain without that herb at this time.

It was also through the voice in the dream that Kong Shun vaguely realized that the letter at the beginning could not be as simple as just helping him.

He inherited the color of his mother's eyes, his mother's bloodline, and at the same time, the incomprehensible secrets of his mother's ancestors.

After all this, Kong Shun once again recalled that he was sick when he was young, and when he was confused in the chaos and high fever, he could always feel his mother humming something in a low voice.

It's like a ballad, and it's like a mantra.

The whispering language, the whispering in his ear, was so strange and familiar to him, and it seemed to have the power to soothe his pain, like warm water. And when he woke up and asked about it, his mother always laughed and sang another ordinary, powerless ballad.

This is not the one he heard during his illness.

After his mother's death, he heard such language again in his dream, and Kong Shun at that time suddenly had a confusion of not knowing where his hometown was.

Could it be that my mother was also tormented by this inexplicable illness? Could it be that she had heard the call of her hometown in her dreams?

Otherwise, why would she say that she was very sick, or why would she say that this place was not my country, or why would she disappear on a rainy night, and why would her body suddenly appear by the river and die facing north?

And why did she hide it?

The old man of the Kong family does not recognize him, in fact, there is nothing wrong at all, his is indeed not the Kong family, and sometimes he is not even a citizen of the Great Zhou.

The Great Zhou user register, using etiquette and ubiquitous culture, makes the people who live here identify themselves as the people of the Great Zhou. Kong Shun accepted it for thirteen years, identified with it for thirteen years, and the homeland that was unknown to the middle of nowhere, with just the chaotic and vague call of the dream, was able to travel through thousands of years, awaken its blooded people, and make them worship to the north.

Kong Shun pinched the envelope in his hand and gave birth to another conjecture.

Was the man who wrote to him, sent him herbs to save his life, and opened his strange dreams, his countrymen, did they have the same blood, did they come from the same land?

Where is this man now?

If the three people who came here to drink today weren't, who would?

Kong Shun's severe pain means that among the three people who survived, someone died again.

Who died?

Does it have anything to do with him?

Why did that person suddenly appear after so many years of disappearing?

*

The door was slammed open, and Liao Jin said, "General, something happened!" ”

Fang Ming said unhappily: "Don't call me a general in private, I have no real power, no qualifications, ......"

Liao Jin didn't care about her complaints: "Lu Xing and the others you asked me to arrest have an accident!" ”

Fang Ming raised his eyebrows: "What else can happen, die?" ”

"No, it's better than dead...... Strange too. Liao Jin said with a strange face: "That Lu Xing, he obviously looks dead, but he can move!" ”
