In Search of Old Bitter Tears (7)
As I helped the eldest sister to slowly approach the house, a voice came from inside:
A: "Village Chief, you killed your mother last night, you didn't break your promise, we all admire you, we decided to kill our relatives like you, and we will mobilize everyone to give up the old and protect the young in a while." ”
B: "Village Chief, you are really good at it, we have all seen you hit your mother's head with bricks with your own hands, and you even threw her into the sinkhole." ”
C: "Village Chief, your mother is really easy to deceive, you told her that there is a mountain god and she really believes it." There is no god in this world, the sky has no eyes, and if there is a god, he will not care whether we live or die. ”
Ding: "What do you know, the village chief is a bitter trick to make his mother die willingly." ”
Village Chief: "Don't talk about it, it's useless to live when people are old, and more resources should be left for young people." My mother, whose sacrifice in exchange for more resources, made sense of her death. Besides, we agreed before, I'll kill my mother first, and then you will kill your old people, I've done it, and it's up to you. ”
After the village chief finished speaking, the people inside said in unison:
"Rest assured, the village chief will not let you down, and the plan of giving up the old and protecting the young will be successfully completed."
The eldest sister stopped, and I saw that her whole body was trembling, and she was holding back her tears and asked me:
"Am I really that useless? Do people deserve to die when they are old? ”
I didn't speak, all I could think of was seeing the eldest sister in the cave with blood on her face and tears in her eyes, but she didn't let the tears fall at that time.
I think she should have known her son's plan early on, but she was willing to lie to herself, to lie that she was willing to serve the mountain god voluntarily, and to lie that her son didn't want herself.
The eldest sister said in a trembling voice:
"It's old, it's old, it's useless."
She didn't cry when she was smashed by her son and her head was covered in blood, she didn't cry when she was thrown down the cave by her son, she didn't cry when I saw that she couldn't move in pain, but when she heard that her son hated her, and heard that she was designed by her own son, she cried. She closed her eyes, and a tear flowed out of the corner of her eye, it was an old bitter tear, and I quickly caught it.
When I looked back at the eldest sister, she was already full of resentment, and I couldn't even get into her body, I said anxiously:
"Big sister, calm down."
"Calm down? How calm do you tell me, my son he wants me to die. And you, you are not a mountain god at all, they are right, the sky is indeed eyeless, how can you care about our life and death, if you really want to care about us, you will come a long time ago, and my son will not abandon me. Yes, it's all because of you, it's because of you and my son that I will kill me, I'm going to kill you. ”
The eldest sister was crazy, and she said and rushed towards me, but I didn't react at all. Ying Zheng suddenly appeared and pulled me away, and he shouted loudly:
"Manju Sahua, what are you thinking, do you want to die?"
I came back to my senses and realized the change I had just made. I grabbed Ying Zheng and asked:
"Yingzheng, is it because of me that things will develop like this?"
Ying Zheng pinched my shoulders and shook me and said:
"Be sober, now is not the time to discuss this issue, you better think about how to escape for your life first."
Our movement alarmed the people in the house, and the village chief and the others all came out. When the village chief saw the eldest sister, he was startled, but quickly calmed down, and he asked:
"Mother, why are you here?"
The eldest sister said in a cold tone:
"Little brute, are you disappointed that I didn't die. Don't you dislike me for being useless, then I'll kill all of you. ”
The eldest sister fell down with a wave of her sleeve as she spoke, and the village chief looked at it in horror, and after half a ring, he knelt down.
"Mother, I am your son, I know I am wrong, if you want to kill or kill me, I will not resist."
When the eldest sister saw the village chief like this, she hesitated for a while, but after all, she couldn't bear to do it. She walked slowly to the village chief and said with tears in her eyes:
"My son!"
While the eldest sister was not paying attention, the village chief suddenly pulled out a knife and stabbed the eldest sister, stabbing two or three times...... Until the eldest sister stopped struggling, until she was no longer breathing, her eyes widened, and she didn't blink until she died.
I watched it all happen, and it happened so suddenly that I forgot to stop it.
"Let's go, it's all a foregone conclusion, you have to go back to save the eldest sister and them."
Ying Zheng dragged me away, and I felt as unreal as a nightmare. We went back to the mountain thousands of years later, and found the cave where the eldest sister lived, and I pinched myself violently before I felt that I was back in reality. I said to the eldest sister:
"Sister, I have obtained your old bitter tears, and now I will give you a glass of wine, and you will be able to forget the past when you drink it. Most of the resentment of this basking mountain is caused by you, and when your resentment is dispersed, everyone will be able to reincarnate. ”
The eldest sister nodded excitedly and said:
"Okay, thank you, girl, thank you for saving us all."
The eldest sister took the wine, and she looked at me.
"I look at the girl's temperament, and I have a sense of déjà vu, as if I've seen it somewhere, but I can't remember it."
The eldest sister shook her head, and suddenly raised her head violently.
"I remember, girl, that you are the god of the mountains."
She knelt down as she spoke.
"I have no eyes, it turns out that the girl can really save us, please forgive the girl."
I hurriedly picked up the eldest sister.
"Big sister, don't always kneel like this, I can't stand it."
"Girl, you don't remember villains, if it weren't for me to kill you, you would have saved everyone a long time ago, and there would be no countless unjust souls on this basking mountain."
When the eldest sister said this, the more ashamed I felt in my heart.
"Big sister, I'm sorry, I couldn't save you back then. This countless unjust souls who threw Laoshan are also my fault, as long as you drink the wine, everyone will be saved. ”
The eldest sister said with tears in her eyes:
"Girl, don't say that, it's not your fault, it's my fault, but fortunately everything will pass soon."
After the eldest sister finished speaking, she took a deep breath of the incense in the cave, and she had a feeling of liberation. She drank the sorrow, and soon the resentment dissipated, the incense of forgetting worries spread, and countless ghosts smelled the fragrance of flowers and forgot the suffering of this life, and left with the ghosts who rushed to it.
Looking at the abandoned mountain without resentment and ghosts, the raw white bones on the ground are more obvious. I asked Ying Zheng:
"Yingzheng, are they harmed by me, and have they changed anything because of my arrival?"
Ying Zheng looked at me, and there was a sense of helplessness in his tone.
"Don't be angry, you always feel that you hurt Nezha, and now you feel that you hurt these people, but these are all foregone conclusions before you came, including Nezha's matter."
I buried my head and said:
"But according to Taiyi Zhenren, all of this is indirectly caused by me."
Ying Zheng said disdainfully:
"According to Taiyi Zhenren, all this is still predestined."
I sighed.
"Yingzheng, let's go too."
