Chapter 49: The Loneliness of Immortality

The Seven Wolves watched with relish, and I couldn't help asking: "What is written in the bamboo slip?" ”

The Seven Wolf Hunters held the bamboo slip in their hands and replied lightly:

"It seems to be about the suicide of the old man in Yuhuan."

In the legend that Dalong heard, the old man of Yuhuan lived to be more than 300 years old, and then committed suicide inexplicably, I also wondered, immortality has always been everyone's dream, why did this old man seek death?

I waited with confusion for the Seven Wolves to continue, and while he glanced at the bamboo slips, he said the general meaning:

"The old man of Yuhuan gave birth to a child when he was in his seventies, and he really wronged his wife at the time, and his wife was expelled from the house with the child, and unfortunately met a bully on the road and was killed, and then the old man married a second wife and became pregnant again"

Hearing this beginning, it is exactly the same as the version in the legend, could it be that the legend is true? I felt a little nervous holding the quaint and cold jade ring in my hand.

After all, the years are too old, although the bamboo slips are relatively well preserved, but the lettering on it has many damages, and the hunting seven wolves are not fast, after saying this paragraph, he sighed for a while before continuing:

"Later, the old man found that he was different, no matter how many years have passed, his body has always maintained a state of more than seventy years old, and he has never continued to age, he has survived all the old people of the same age, and watched his wife and children, all relatives and friends grow old and die day by day, in the intersection of generations of life, the old man is becoming more and more lonely, and finally unbearable torture carries his relatives up the mountain alone, and never comes back"

After saying this, I kind of understand the old man's idea of suicide, endless loneliness and torture!

Watching his loved ones die one by one, although he enjoys immortality, he can't help anyone helplessly, and this kind of pain has to be repeated every time he is too young! I think this may be the reason why the old man in Yuhuan chose to commit suicide!

The poor feel that the rich life is another world, and the common people think that the days of the great officials and emperors can race the gods, and they don't know that everyone has their own worries and troubles, when a person gets what he wants, and after the sense of lack is gradually lost, no matter how glamorous the life is, it will leak out of shortcomings and helplessness!

This kind of chicken soup can always be seen, I used to think that I couldn't eat grapes and said that grapes were sour, but now I put myself in my shoes and think about it, even the immortal old man is like this, it should be like this!

I sighed and said, "Although I live forever, I have to watch my relatives die one by one every few years, it's so cruel!" No wonder 300 years old is enough to live! ”

As for the second half of the bamboo slip, the handwriting is so badly damaged that it is no longer clear. The Seven Wolves put down the bamboo slips and opened another exhibition to read.

"The old man of Yuhuan has always blamed his first wife for being right and wrong, thinking that he had killed his wife and children with his own hands, blaming himself all day long, knowing that he was immortal, he was always unhappy, he wanted to ask someone to find the bones of his wife and children, but he has never been missing"

I suddenly had a question I didn't understand, and I chimed in:

"If the old man in Yuhuan committed suicide, then who buried him in the turtle shell?"

The Seven Wolves didn't reply to me, glanced at the bamboo slips, frowned tighter and tighter, and said:

"That's not right!"

Seeing his serious appearance, I also became nervous.

"What's wrong?"

The Seven Wolves put their fingers on the bamboo slips and said slowly:

"This volume says that before the old man of Yuhuan went up the mountain, he saw a general!"

This place is different from the legend at the beginning, the legend, the general dug the grave after the old man's death, I didn't expect the two of them to actually meet?

I was fully appetized by this story, and listened to the Seven Wolves Hunt go on.

"When the general heard that the old man had lived to be three hundred years old, he brought someone to visit him and asked him the secret of his immortality, and the old man said that it might have something to do with a jade ring he picked up when he was seventy years old, because since then, his first wife has been pregnant, and he has never been sick again!"

Speaking of which, I noticed that the Seven Wolf Hunter quickly glanced at the content below, and saw that his face was gradually darkened, as if he was extremely disappointed!

I didn't know why, so I hurriedly asked:

"Brother, and then?"

The Seven Wolves Hunting came to their senses for a while, their voices were a little hoarse, and then they said:

"At this time, the old man of Yuhuan already had the intention of begging for death, and he made a deal with the general, saying that as long as he could help him recover the bones of his first wife and children, the old man would promise to give him this jade ring!"

The Seven Wolf Hunter sighed and then translated:

"At that time, there was a lot of war, the corpses were everywhere, and the time was long, and the corpses of the old man's wife and children were nowhere to be found, so the general simply found a pair of bones to pretend to be the old man's wife and children, and deceived him of the jade ring in his hand."

The content of this bamboo slip seems to be a supplementary explanation to the first volume, and I suddenly felt that although this old man of Yuhuan had done something wrong, he was also a poor man with affection and righteousness, and inexplicably felt a little sympathy for him, and when I heard that the general had deceived Yuhuan, I suddenly became nervous.

"Can Yuhuan really live forever?" I looked down at the jade ring in my hand and asked.

The Seven Wolves shook their heads firmly.

"After the general took the jade ring, he gave it to the father at home to wear, but he didn't expect it to have any effect, and the next year the father left"

This surprised me and said:

"Could it be that the old man of Yuhuan dropped the bag and gave him a fake?"

Hunting the Seven Wolves rarely had a fluctuating expression along the way, he had always had an indifferent face, a look of bitterness and hatred, I don't know what kind of stimulation he was under, at this moment, he actually began to tremble even the hand holding the bamboo slip, and then said:

"The general took something back to the village to find the old man, and heard from the villagers that the old man had been separated from the general as early as that year, and he had carried the bones of his wife and children up the mountain and hanged himself, and the general led people to search the mountain, and finally found the place where the old man hanged himself, there were no bones, but a big turtle was found under the tree"

I nodded in a sudden realization, I didn't expect that the grave turtle in front of me also has a historical origin, but if it is true, this turtle has lived for two thousand years from the Western Han Dynasty to the present!

I looked down at this shrunken turtle with only a turtle shell left, and I never expected that this thing turned out to be a walking living fossil!!

After reading the Seven Wolf Hunt, he threw the bamboo slip back into the coffin, and said in despair:

"The rest is what we see now, the general did not go to the tomb after his death, and buried himself on the turtle shell with the jade ring, and let people spread the news on the first volume of bamboo slips, saying that the tomb turtle is buried in the tomb of the old man in Yuhuan, in fact, I hope that future generations can always remember, one day been?
