After she left, my mother came and stood next to me, then looked at me and said, "Xiaobei, do you think my mother is strange?" ”

"What do you think?" I said with my head down.

"I thought you didn't see it, but now that you've found out, then mom will be honest with you." My mom said as she took out the thing that was hanging from her neck.

"What is this?" I looked at the red jade pendant and asked, because the moment I took it out, it was still bubbling black, so no matter how I looked at it, I thought that thing was an evil thing.

But my mother took it off and handed it to me and said, "Son, this is my mother's lifespan, and my mother will hand it over to you." ”

"What do you mean?" I don't quite understand, and I don't want that jade pendant.

Then my mother forced me to hold it and said, "Son, you have to live well, with the hope of me and your father." ”

"What about you?" I hurriedly asked.

"You don't have to worry about us, we have our own arrangements." She replied to me.

I shook my head and wanted to return the jade pendant to her, saying, "I don't want you and my father's lifespan, you live well by yourself." ”

"It's useless, we're already like this."

"How? What happened to you? I looked at her worriedly and scared.

She sighed, and then said, "We are now the living dead, unable to eat, nor able to be exposed to the sun for long periods of time. ”

As she spoke, my mom rolled up her sleeves and showed me her arm.

Looking at her skin that seemed to have been burned by the sun, my eyes were wet with tears, and I wanted to touch it in distress.

But my mother stepped back and didn't let me touch it, saying, "Son, in fact, my mother has wanted to tell you for a long time, but I'm afraid that you won't be able to accept it, but now it seems that the earth fairy didn't lie to us." ”

"Earth Immortals? It's an earth fairy again, what did he tell you? And what did you do? I asked uncontrollably aloud.

"Xiaobei, how did you talk to your mother?" I was in a hurry, my dad also came back, and seeing how tightly he was wrapped in the summer, I knew that he was also afraid of being burned by the sun.

"Dad, Mom, tell me everything about this, I don't want you to leave me like this." I finally couldn't hold back my tears.

"Okay, Mom told you, don't cry, son!" My mom said as she reached out to wipe my tears.

Seeing that she agreed to tell me, my dad didn't say anything, just went to close the door, probably worried that someone would come to hear, so he called me to their bedroom.

When I came to their bedroom, I could see that no one had slept here for a long time, so I asked, "Where do you all sleep at night?" ”

"Don't worry, Mom will tell you slowly!" As she spoke, she looked at my dad, "Give it to my son, it's useless for us to take it." ”

When my dad heard this, he also took the thing off his neck and handed it to me and said, "This is a pair with the one your mother gave you, and you can put it together and hang it around your neck in the future." ”

"I don't want it!" I'm straight to the point.

"No, you have to ask for it, this is useless to us now, only you can bring it." My dad said.

"Who gave this to you? Why? "I don't want to worry about this right now.

My dad also sighed after hearing this, "Back then, our family was quite passable, and a beggar came, in fact, he was an earth immortal, and he also wanted to see how we were, so he made himself a beggar." ”

"Then I won't live to be twenty years old, is that what he said?" I asked.

Then my dad told me that he wasn't the only one who said it, even my grandfather said it when I was not even born.

My grandfather left early, before I was born, how did he know that I would not live to be twenty?

Later, my dad explained that my grandfather's grandfather was my great-great-grandfather, and he used to worship ghosts because of the war, and he made a deal with ghosts in order to keep his family alive.

But that ghost only promised to protect him for three generations, so after the end of Grandpa's generation, that ghost would not be taken care of anymore, so Grandpa knew that once he left, our family would definitely decline, so he also went to find that ghost.

As a result, the ghost said: To keep them alive in the war is to borrow the lives of the offspring, so after I was born, I have to take over the fate of my great-grandfather, and I will not live to be twenty years old, because if he hadn't exchanged life, my great-grandfather, that is, my grandfather's father, he would have died before the age of twenty because of the war.

Of course, he died, and there would be no grandpa and later my dad and me, so it was a change of fate, grandpa told my dad before leaving.

In addition, after I was born, I was frail and sickly, and I always bumped into ghosts from time to time, so my father found a lot of people who could read things to show me, and they all said that I was not more than 20 years old.

It wasn't until later that a earth fairy came to our family, and he stayed in our house for two months, and he thought that our family was good, and he didn't dislike him as a beggar.

So in the third month, he went to tell my parents that I wouldn't live to be twenty years old, because they already knew, so they believed in the words of the earth immortals.

Because at that time, only the earth fairy said that he could save me, so my parents agreed to any conditions.

Later, the earth fairy also said that if you save me, it will change the status quo of our family.

But my parents didn't care about anything so that I could continue to live, thinking that as long as he could save me, whatever they wanted.

Then the earth fairy gave them the jade pendant, which is the lifespan container, and asked them to wear it on their bodies until they had sucked all the lifespan away, and then brought it to me, so that I could continue to live.

I really feel very bad when I hear this, because I, my parents, have given too much.

So at this moment, I cried and threw myself into their arms and said, "Mom and Dad, I'm sorry, for my sake, you would rather sacrifice for me, and really let your son have nothing to repay." ”

"Silly boy, which parent is not for their children, we are already happy to have you, bring it quickly." My dad let go of his hands and held me and my mom and took the two jade pendants and said.

However, just as he was about to put the jade pendants together, a sudden gust of wind blew and carried a cloud of black gas.

As soon as I saw this, I knew that something must be coming, and I was ready to deal with him.

But at this time, Tan Xiao suddenly appeared and blocked in front of me, "Zhang Xiaobei, you quickly bring the jade pendant, and I will deal with ......"

Tan Xiao was talking, and the black gas directly wrapped around her.

Immediately, Tan Xiao was swept into the air, but she was still struggling, but she was definitely not his opponent, so I was ready to go over and help her.

But just as I was about to pass, the black gas immediately dispersed into two streams, and then took away the two jade pendants in my father's hand at once, and was about to leave.

As soon as I saw this, I hurriedly chased after it, but as soon as I got out of the gate, the two black gases merged into one and quickly disappeared.

I was very angry standing in the doorway, but I couldn't catch up with that thing as a normal person.

"Zhang Xiaobei, your parents ......" I looked around angrily, and at this time Tan smiled and said to me weakly on the door panel.

Seeing that her spirit was beginning to loom, I hurried over and asked, "What's wrong with you?" ”

"I'm fine, you go and see your parents, they're dying!" Tan Xiao said stiffly.

"Then you ......" I was just about to leave, and when I saw her squatting down, I asked worriedly.

But she shook her head, "I'll just go back and raise it, you can go quickly." With that, she just disappeared.

Then I ran back to my dad's bedroom, only to see that they had all fallen to the ground.

"Dad, Mom, what's wrong with you?" I asked, kneeling.

"Son, it's time for me and your mother, remember, you must find that life-saving container, you must find it, it was given to you by me and your mother, and it can't fall into the hands of others, and also, take us to the cow...... House! "My dad said it to me almost with his last breath, and then left me forever with my mom.

"Mom, Dad!" I broke down and shouted, and suddenly I remembered that when a person dies, his soul will be around his body.

But what about the soul? Why didn't I see it? I looked around, and then remembered that the female corpse in the morning did not have her soul by her side.

Didn't my parents die here? Thinking that I had found the key on my mom and galloped to the cowhouse.

But after the door opened, it was too dark for me to see the situation inside, but I didn't expect that in the middle of the cowshed, there were two coffins.

"Son, goodbye!" Suddenly, at this time, I heard my mother's voice.

I quickly turned my head to look, and then I saw the spirits of my father and my mother at the door, and I wanted to go over, but they shook their heads and motioned for me not to go.

"Mom......"

"Son, don't cry, live well!" My mom smiled at me.

I cried and shook my head, "No, I don't want you to leave me!" ”

"Son, remember, you must find the container, and there is no funeral!" My dad said to me, too.

"Why?" I don't understand.

"There's no reason, your mother and I don't want to do it, and the money we've saved in the past few years is in the closet of our room, although it's not much, but it's enough for your living expenses for a while."

"I know, but if I don't have a funeral, what if people ask?" I asked, wiping away my tears.

Then my dad and my mom looked at each other and said, "Leave them alone, after burying us, you can leave the village and try not to come back again." ”

"But this is my house? Where can I go if I don't come back? ”

"Anything, just don't come back, okay, we have to go on our way, goodbye, son!" With that, the two of them disappeared in front of my eyes together.

After watching them leave, I leaned against the wall in pain and looked at the two coffins, it turned out that they had been waiting for this day for a long time.

And the coffins are still in the pit, I just have to put their bodies in and fill them with earth.
