Chapter 43: Five Hundred Years Later

Ye Wanhong squinted, wanting to look directly at the scorching, radiating endless light and heat of the sun. Isn't that fiery vitality exactly what she is pursuing? However, the sun of her life force was no longer young, at best it was the sunset before darkness, sprinkled with a withered yellow afterglow.

This feels terrible!

Ye Banghong walked out of the bedroom, looking tired. She has been feeling more and more tired lately, and the years have taken away not only her beauty, but also her energy. She couldn't muster up her spirits, and sat on the sofa in the living room, bored watching the same soap opera.

Bang Dang!

The sudden noise in the kitchen frightened Ye Wanhong to sit up straight. She stroked her violently beating chest, and secretly thought: Is it true that people are old and even have little courage?

Ye Wanhong smiled bitterly in her heart, and got up and walked to the kitchen. Today, Chang Sheng and Chang Xin, father and daughter, said with a smile early in the morning that they would make a big cake for themselves to celebrate, so that she would be warm and melancholy.

Chang Sheng is a good husband, he cooks good dishes, and there is naturally no problem in making cakes. But Chang Xin is not, she is a professional kitchen destroyer, even if Chang Sheng is watching, Ye Wanhong is not very relieved. Hearing the sudden abnormal noise, she could only sigh that her prediction was really accurate.

When I opened the kitchen door, I saw a white patch, like the snow in the northern winter. Ye Banghong waved his hand and blew away the white powder floating in the air. The vision was clear, and I saw Chang Sheng holding a bag of broken flour and looking at Chang Xin helplessly. The latter shrank in the corner, and Bai Huahua's pretty face was a little apologetic, but the fragrant tongue that spit out of her mouth and the snickering that hung on her mouth revealed more of her cuteness.

Chang Sheng said angrily: "Look, this is the good daughter you taught, ten fingers don't touch the spring water, let you take a bag of flour out, you can break it, it really convinced you." ”

Chang Xin lowered his head and didn't dare to speak.

Seeing her pitiful appearance, Ye Banghong couldn't bear it, so she had to step forward to help, and said, "Okay, okay, it's just a bag of flour, it's okay, it's okay." Xin'er is a model, so she should pay attention to maintenance and understand without doing housework. ”

Chang Sheng wanted to refute, but when he saw his wife's pleading look, he had to give up and said, "Alas, you just want to protect her, and sooner or later you will be spoiled"

Seeing someone playing a round, Chang Xin, who was still silent, immediately opened the chatterbox, stepped forward and hugged Chang Sheng, and said with a smile: "Dad! I'm going to get it this time, give me another chance. ”

couldn't resist Chang Xin's coquettish kraft candy, Chang Sheng was also amused, and said helplessly: "Okay, good, I really lost to you." Bang Hong, you go outside and wait first, today you are the birthday star, so you don't have to be busy with these, take a good rest, call us at any time if you have something. ”

"We are your most faithful servants, my beautiful Queen Mother." Chang Xin bent down, bowed deeply, and then glanced at Chang Sheng vigorously.

Chang Sheng was stunned for a few seconds before he reacted, and then bent down and said, "Chirp!" ”

Ye Banghong and Chang Xin were amused by the sudden Qing palace lines.

returned to the living room, sitting on the sofa, Ye Wanhong's smile gradually converged. She was unhappy, and Chang Xin and Chang Sheng's jokes weren't funny to her. She didn't know how stiff her laughter was, but the sadness in her heart suppressed her nerves of joy.

When Chang Xin hugged Chang Sheng and coquettishly in Chang Sheng's arms, she seemed to see herself and Chang Sheng twenty years ago. At that time, she was also like this, and even Chang Sheng's helpless expression was the same. She suddenly had a weird feeling, as if Chang Sheng and Chang Xin, father and daughter, were the real husband and wife, and she just had the extra light bulb.

She was actually eating her own daughter's vinegar, she felt shameful and terrible, but she couldn't suppress this distorted emotion. Rationality is heading towards the precipice of collapse, and taking a step forward is the abyss. But who can pull her behind her back?

Ye Wanhong had the last bit of rationality and forcibly straightened out her distorted heart. She breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that she must have thought too much and her thoughts were messed up before such a terrible thought appeared.

It's good to take a break. Ye Wanhong closed her eyes and tried to calm herself down.

It wasn't long before she fell asleep and fell asleep. In dreams, everything can happen because everything is false. In the dream, time is reversed, and the missing gold in the river of years is picked up one by one.

Ye Banghong returned to her youthful and beautiful appearance. She wore a plain cheongsam, which fit her slender figure and was even more sexy, and her long hair was coiled into a tuxedo, fixed with a hosta, which modified her pretty face. She is like a clear spring flowing in the mountains, smart and gentle.

Beside her, Chang Sheng combed his parted hair, with a bit of chic pride, and a simple suit set off the charm of his mature man.

The two of them walked side by side, talented and beautiful, like a pair of beautiful people. They walk on the road of time, watching time flies, but they are independent and still stay in the best years of their lives.

What a wonderful thing this is, and this is something that many people dream of. Ye Wanhong smiled happily, the faster the years passed, the more she laughed. She feels like a god, unbound by the years and free.

The more beautiful something is, the easier it is to become obsessed. But God loves to play a game that when man indulges in happiness, it mercilessly befalls disaster.

In the dream, Ye Wanhong and Chang Sheng have come a long, long way. However, as she walked, Ye Wanhong felt that something was wrong, her steps became a little strange, and she felt like she was walking a model step. She was shocked, she was born as a farmer, where would she take the steps of a model!

Ye Wanhong was anxious, she looked around, trying to find a mirror to see her appearance. In the end, she found only one pair of eyes, a pair of affectionate, gentle, clear eyes. It was her husband's eyes, eyes that had captured her heart so easily. She thought that from the moment they made a private lifelong decision, there would only be a shadow of her in these eyes.

However...... Disaster struck.

Ye Wanhong looked at Chang Sheng's eyes in a daze, looking at the reflected appearance in his eyes. That's not herself, even if it's very similar to herself, but it's still not, it's her daughter, Chang Xin.

"Ahh

Ye Banghong was awakened by this terrible scene, she opened her mouth, and the scream was stuck in her throat vividly, leaving only a heavy gasp. At this time, the kitchen door opened, and Chang Sheng and Chang Xin walked out with a smile. Chang Xin was asking Chang Sheng for credit, and was talking to Chang Sheng with his face sideways. The latter grimaced, turned his face sideways, stared at Chang Xin's smug eyes, and was about to count a few words.

Oh, my God!

Ye Banghong's mind flashed the picture just now, a pair of men and women standing on the road of time, looking at each other, time seemed to have stopped in them, and all the best things were perfectly preserved, and no trace was missed. The man is her husband, the man who never ages, who lives forever. The woman is not her, it is her daughter, the woman who is in the flower season, Chang Xin.

They are father and daughter! Is it? Maybe not, they could also be lovers! What a match made in heaven! The voice stuck in the throat "Ah! It was finally sent out, but that kind of poignancy instantly dyed this originally warm and beautiful family with a layer of gray.

Chang Sheng and Chang Xin were both startled, and they looked at Ye Wanhong who was sitting on the sofa and suddenly cried bitterly. She covered her withered face, trying to hide her ugliness, but when she let out her first cry, the distorted gloomy emotions could no longer be suppressed, and one day, reason would fall into the abyss, and she would become a demon.

The two were surprised, at a loss, and worried...... The eyes of various emotions intertwined fell on Ye Wanhong, making her feel like Ling Chi. She swept hard, and the teacups and teapots on the lectern all fell to the ground. Ping Pong ...... One after another, ceramic flowers bloomed on the ground, colorful and comical.

Ye Banghong rushed into her bedroom, she wanted to escape the darkness in her heart in this way.

For a moment, the living room was eerily quiet. Chang Xin clasped her hands, her body trembled slightly, she felt a little cold, not formed by low temperature, floating on the surface, but deep into the heart, piercing the backbone of the cold. She didn't know what she had done wrong, that mother, who was usually gentle and kind, would be so angry.

In my impression, my mother has always been a good person, always with a faint smile on the corner of her mouth, tepid in her handling of things, and always able to take care of everyone's feelings. People say that women are thirty rotten dregs. However, her mother is forty years old, but there is a charm that makes her envious, which is a fragrance that can only be exuded after years of precipitation. If you want her to say that a woman should be a glass of wine, the longer it is, the more mellow it is, and the more it is worth tasting.

However, the mellow wine in her mind was turned over today, and she was overwhelmed by the strong aroma of the wine, and at this moment, she was extremely eager for someone to hold her and tell her that everything would be fine.

"Don't worry, everything will be fine."

Right! That's how it feels. Chang Xin leaned on his father's arms, absorbing that rare bit of warmth. She has a beautiful mother, a handsome father, she has a warm family, and today she should also have a happy birthday party, but ...... Why is this happening?

Can anyone give her the answer?

Maybe it was just the man who held her tightly.

Chang Sheng appeased Chang Xin and went to deal with the ceramic shards all over the ground. He bent down and picked up the pieces one by one, with a serious expression, as if they were a treasure of the world.

"In the end, is it still like this? Immortality, perhaps, is just a curse! ”

Chang Sheng cleaned up the ceramic pieces and cleaned up the kitchen, and the cake that was still in the oven was also taken out by him and thrown away. Everything, as if it had never happened, he quietly erased the traces, and this birthday party was over before it even began.

Chang Xin nestled in the room, wrapped in the quilt, bored looking at his phone. She didn't understand that things were not at all what she expected. Perhaps, the mother is just not feeling well, just tired...... She comforted herself in this way, but everyone knew that it was just self-deception.

Fingertips swiped irritably on the mobile phone screen, and all kinds of apps flashed in front of him, but Chang Xin didn't know which one to order. She wasn't in the mood to play with her phone at all, she was just trying to distract herself. Scratching and rowing, the ghost sent the god to open the photo album.

In the first photo, Chang Xin is sitting on the grass with her mother's shoulders around her shoulders, smiling happily. The mother smiled too, but her eyes were a little misty, as if she was looking elsewhere. She still remembers that after filming, she disliked her mother for not looking at the camera, and now that she is watching it again, she suddenly feels that maybe her mother doesn't want to watch it at all.

Does my mother not like me? Chang Xin buried her face in the pillow and cried in a low voice.

Chang Sheng passed by Chang Xin's room and heard the faint cry, he stood outside the door, wanting to twist the handle and push the door in, but after hesitating for a while, he still stopped and walked straight to his and his wife's bedroom.

Pushing open the door, Ye Wanhong was sitting in front of the dressing mirror in a daze, Chang Sheng came in, and she didn't even notice it. There were still tears on his yellow face, and his godless pupils were only speckled with blood...... The whole person is like a walking corpse that has been drained of its soul, and only a rotten body remains. 、

"What the hell is wrong with you, my dear?" Chang Sheng hugged her from behind, tightly, tightly, and was reluctant to let go for a moment. But those powerful arms were shaking, and it felt like they would be freed the next moment.

Ye Wanhong was stunned, looked down at the knobby hands holding her neck, shook her head and said, "Why?" Why is this happening? Why, you can, I can't! Why? ”

Chang Sheng bent down, pressed his face against Chang Xin's face, and said, "What why?" Whatever you want to know, I can tell you. Don't hold it back, okay? Tell me and I'll help you. It's not just me, our daughter, Xin'er will help you too, okay? ”

Ye Wanhong smiled bitterly, her chapped lips were painted with some inferior lipstick, which contrasted with the yellowed teeth, looking a little scary, "What can it be?" Can you help me? How can it help? You don't know anything! Nothing is known. ”

"No, I know, I know. Do you want to ......"

"I think?"

"You want to live forever! You don't want to be old! Is that right? ”

Ye Wanhong was like being struck by lightning, cardiac arrest, her body seemed to convulse at that moment, and her consciousness seemed to be torn into pieces all at once, and there was no way to put it together. She was confused, her brain was crammed with all kinds of thoughts, but there was no logic, she could only open her mouth, babbling sounds, and couldn't say a complete word.

Chang Sheng touched her head and said gently: "Needless to say, I know, I am your husband, the person you love the most, and the person who loves you the most." I do anything for you, hear clearly, be any. So, your wishes, I will help you make them come true. Just tell me that you really want to, you really want to, you have to do it. ”

Ye Wanhong was speechless, Chang Sheng's words seemed to be injected with magic power, stirring up her already eroded rationality, and the most primitive desire in her heart erupted. She nodded and said vaguely, "I...... Want to ......"

Chang Sheng smiled and said, "My dear, you will receive the most precious birthday gift in the world. Now get a good night's sleep and wait for the surprises to come. ”

Now that the words have been spoken, there is no turning back. But Ye Banghong felt that she had made the most wrong decision in her life, and deep down, she heard a voice shouting, "No, you don't want to, you don't want at all, hurry up and tell him, he will listen to you, as long as you say, you don't want to." ”

When she opened her mouth, the words were about to blurt out. But a voice popped up, "That's what you think, right?" This is your wish, this man said he would help you, and he would definitely help you. Your dream is about to come true, why destroy it? Just do as he says, get some sleep and wait for the surprise to come! ”

The two voices sounded in Ye Banghong's head at the same time, and finally mixed together and turned into a buzzing scream. It's like a fly flying in your ears, making people irritable. Ye Wanhong gritted her teeth and suddenly yelled: "Yes! I think! I want to live forever! I don't want to be old! ”

The sudden roar startled Chang Sheng, but in an instant, only a thick sadness flowed from between his eyebrows. But Ye Banghong was relieved, this roar used up all her strength, and she felt very satisfied, even if exhaustion drained her last bit of energy.

She fell asleep, under the care of Chang Sheng, with a shallow smile on the corner of her mouth.

Chang Sheng sat in front of the mirror, looked at his face, and said with a smile: "The most romantic thing is to grow old with you." It's a pity I can't, but I can watch you go back to being young. ”

Chang Sheng changed into clean clothes and walked out of Ye Wanhong's room lightly, he planned to go out, but he had to pass Chang Xin's room when he got home. He hesitated for a moment, and finally sighed helplessly and knocked on Chang Xin's door.

The crying became clearer, but intermittently, which was more heart-wrenching. Chang Sheng looked at his daughter hiding in the bed, and he didn't know what to say for a while. In the face of his daughter, he has always been a character who sings in blackface, and suddenly let him sing in white, and he couldn't speak. After being silent for a while, he said, "Don't worry, Dad will take care of everything and wait for me at home, you know?" ”

There was no answer, only a cry that gradually subsided.

Chang Sheng smiled with relief, quietly closed the door and left.

On the streets, people come and go. People are either leisurely or anxiously walking. Chang was born between them, and it seemed incompatible. His expression was calm, old-fashioned, vicissitudes, and dusty, as if he had been baptized by the wind and sand of the years. is obviously so young, but at this moment, it overflows the breath of time.

On this street, people see the world at this moment. What Changsheng sees is a period of time in the past.

I don't know how long it took, Chang Sheng came to the suburbs. Workers are busy, and reinforced concrete occupies a large area. It was originally a grove of trees, and the dense greenery was in awe. But at this moment, the original patches of green were divided, and the cobblestone paths were like scars, which were shocking.

This is the power of time, and it seems that human beings have gone from revering nature to conquering nature in the blink of an eye.

Chang Sheng ignored the workers, he walked straight in, and everyone naturally gave way to him, even the dust floating in the air avoided it.

Chang Sheng walked slower and slower, and his originally straight waist gradually became rickety, and a crackling sound sounded on his back, as if the bones were hitting his body. The waist bent more and more, and finally it was almost 90 degrees, and Changsheng was like carrying a mountain on his back.

Finally, Changsheng lay on the ground and crawled on all fours. He turned into a huge tortoise, the hard tortoise shell was flat and smooth, arching in a graceful arc, the blue-brown head was raised high, and a pair of golden beast eyes were calm and distant.

Chang Sheng is not a human, he is a tortoise spirit.

Turtles have always been the representative of longevity among animals, and the legendary "thousand-year-old king and 80,000-year-old turtle" is not imaginary. Chang Sheng is a ghost who has lived for a thousand years. Since the day he became a demon, his lifespan has been infinitely extended, and his vitality is as strong as the sun in the sky, as if there will never be a day when it will be extinguished.

Therefore, he can stay young forever, immortal for thousands of years, and still maintain his youthful state. For thousands of years, he spent most of his time sleeping, on the ground beneath his feet. When he sleeps, he transforms into a mountain, and his body is buried in the ground, and he sleeps for 500 years.

Five hundred years ago, he woke up, and then there was one less mountain in the world. He transformed into a human form and walked into the red dust. Then, like a human being, he fell in love with a woman, married her, raised children, and grew old together. This may be a dull but happy life.

However, this is not the case, humans and demons cannot have children, and Chang Sheng can only adopt a daughter without telling his wife. The daughter is growing up, and the water is becoming more and more exquisite, and the wife is getting old and no longer beautiful, what about him? He was always so young and handsome.

Chang Sheng loves his wife and his daughter very much, and he imagines that such a good life can continue forever. But one day, bad news struck.

The wife raised the knife and looked at her daughter, one stab, one stab, one stab...... Each knife looked at the young and beautiful face. Knowing that the face had turned into a puddle of minced meat, the wife was content to commit the butcher's knife, and then smiled and waited for her husband's return.

Chang Sheng couldn't believe what was in front of him, madness occupied his heart, and he slashed to death the woman with the knife and laughing, the woman he loved deeply.

Two cold corpses, lying quietly in front of him, the puzzle of happiness and beauty was shattered at that moment, all the yearning was like foam, shattered at the touch of a touch, and it was so fragile that it made people feel distressed.

After that, there was another mountain in the world. It's still that place. The only difference is that the mountains used to be ordinary, and there is nothing surprising about them. But this mountain will eat people, and any young boy or girl who goes in will go and never return, and he will not even know the corpse.

For a time, people panicked, and the mountain was listed as a forbidden place, abandoned outside the red dust, and then gradually erased from people's memories as the years passed.

By the time it was re-inhabited, it would be five hundred years later. A girl, with short ear-length hair, wearing a white shirt and a pair of washed jeans, is like a blooming white lotus, pure and beautiful. The girl carried a hiking bag on her back and climbed this mountain, which no one had set foot on for 500 years. She wiped the sweat from her forehead, walking a little slowly, but she didn't mean to stop.
