442. Xi'er
"Tell me clearly!" I stood up and looked around angrily, but there was no one around, and everything seemed so weird.
I got up, holding the Heavenly Master Sword in my hand, and walked back and forth around for a while, and suddenly at this moment, I felt a very sharp aura, and I saw that there was suddenly a tall man about the same height as me in front of me, and his whole body was black.
I hurriedly put the Heavenly Master Sword against the other party, and I said, "Who are you?" ”
This man is not handsome, but he looks very evil, his skin is blue-purple, which is also a color I have never seen before, at this time the man snorted coldly, he said: "Fist Xisha, are you willing to follow me?" Be my servant and I will give you the power you will never run out, and then you will be one of the most powerful men in the world! The wealth, the woman, the power you want, will be in your hands......"
"I'm not going to be you, I don't feel like you're a good person......" I said.
"Good guy?! Are you a good person? Don't forget the thing you did when you were ten years old......" said Yaksha, turning his back to me.
This is the last thing I want to think about, and it is also the one thing I deliberately forced myself to forget, but I didn't expect to be mentioned by Yaksha so much, and I thought about it again......
It was the same thing that happened when I was ten years old, and I remember it was a summer, and my family was in the country, so in the summer I could hear the cicadas chirping, and then there would be a cool breeze blowing in the mountains from time to time, and it would be very comfortable to blow on people.
At that time, there was a family of straw shoes next to my house, because my parents and I moved here, I don't know what kind of work my parents were engaged in at that time, but then they disappeared like they disappeared, evaporated from the world, after I was six years old, almost all lived alone, and the friends around me said that I killed my parents......
Maybe because I left my parents too early, I don't have a deep impression of my parents, but I have a very deep impression of the family that weaves straw shoes, there is a girl named Yuan Xi'er, Xi'er is a lively girl, often give me some sweet potatoes and food at home, because I am alone in my family, and the original land has been robbed, and I am a child about ten years old at that time, I can't do anything about it......
I begged, I almost starved to death, and almost my whole childhood was gray, and there was always a touch of color in the gray, and that color was Xi'er's sister......
Once, we went swimming in the reservoir, I remember very well, it was a clear sky, the sun was very strong, it happened to be summer vacation, so swimming was also the favorite sport of our children, of course we were not for fitness, purely for fun......
Speaking of the village's reservoir, we have to talk about a rumor in the village.
Originally, there was a river in the village that had just been built into a flood control reservoir, but it was a little deeper, and the water was not as fast as it used to be, and it was crowded with children and adults in the summer. In previous years, nothing happened there, but that year it was very evil.
I remember that the old man said that it was a summer, and just after eating at noon, the village chief of the next village took his son to bathe in the reservoir, so the father and son never returned, and both drowned in the reservoir.
No one went to the reservoir at noon, but it wasn't until the afternoon that the wife of the head of the next village saw that the people who went to the reservoir had returned, but they didn't see the two of them, that they realized that something was not good, and called other people to start looking for them.
Generally, the drowned people, in the end, the corpse will float on the water with its back to the sky, waiting for others to salvage, but this reservoir is very strange, there seems to be an undercurrent under the water, the big guy looked for an afternoon, and finally saw the body of the village chief father and son was entangled in aquatic weeds, just like planting rice, and the lower half of the body was buried in the bottom of the river!
The water of this reservoir is very clear, you can see the bottom of the water from the shore, and the corpses of the village chief's father and son have been entangled in aquatic plants and "planted" in the water since their deaths.
At that time, it was still in the middle of the last century, that is, that turbulent era, the place of the incident was in such a poor and remote reservoir, everyone wanted to salvage the body of the village chief's father and son, but they were powerless, the village chief's wife saw that her husband and son were dead, and the body could not be buried, crying next to the reservoir for three days and three nights, on the morning of the third day, the villagers did not find the village chief's wife on the shore, but found that her body appeared next to the body of the village chief's father and son, and was also planted under the water. The body is tightly wrapped in three layers of aquatic plants and three layers outside!
And what's even more terrifying is that the face of the village chief's wife is still facing the shore, as long as you look at the bottom of the water, it seems that the village chief's wife is staring at you!
At that time, almost everyone in several surrounding villages knew about this incident, and they were so frightened that no one dared to come to the reservoir alone, let alone continue to swim.
The water in the reservoir is too deep, it is impossible to salvage the corpse without excellent diving equipment, and the reservoir is used for flood control, and the corpse cannot be cleaned up by leaking water at an inappropriate time.
The spring rain of the coming year was non-stop, and the time of water discharge was postponed, and in a blink of an eye, it was an important spring festival, the Dragon Boat Festival.
During the Dragon Boat Festival, everyone felt that things could not be delayed, so the flood was exposed, but as soon as the flood was released, people found that the body of the village chief's family was still very well preserved, and then it was late at night, and suddenly the village chief's family was resurrected, and then several villagers were injured, and then they fled, and people said that the village chief's family had turned into water ghosts, so the reservoir was even more scarce......
Maybe the newborn calf is not afraid of tigers, when I came to the reservoir with Xi'er to play, at that time there were many friends together, we were happy to play together, just when we were about to go ashore, suddenly Xi'er slapped the water, it seemed cramps, the other children were scared half to death, they ran away, and I only have one friend Xi'er, so a fierce son went into the water, I will never forget the picture I saw underwater that day, it was an extremely eerie picture, it was a woman with a pale face, She wrapped her hair around Xi'er's legs, and she was smiling at me......
Maybe it was instinct, I ran away immediately, I don't know how long I ran, and when I reacted, it had been more than half an hour, when the reservoir was surrounded by people, I saw that Xi'er had been drowned, and her whole body was miserable, and I saw Xi'er open her eyes to look at me, and the whites of her eyes were all congested, which looked very terrifying......
I will never forget the way Xi'er's parents looked at me, his father pointed at me and scolded, if I went to the village to find him at that time, maybe the time would be in time, and Xi'er could be rescued in time, and their family would be a daughter......
This is the memory I want to forget the most, and it is also the person I am most sorry for in my life...... At this time, when I finished recalling, Yaksha looked at me, and Yaksha said, "Come to remember, at that time, you were just because you didn't have the ability, so you couldn't even save your childhood sweetheart...... And now? You're still the one of you who's dragging people back! You'll always be the last! ”
I was silent, I didn't speak, the painful memory almost broke me, although it was said that a Taoist priest came to our village later, and the soul in the reservoir was overcome, but Xi'er would never come back, and she was also a pain in my heart......
"If I had the ability at the time, maybe Xi'er wouldn't have died......," I muttered, looking at my hands, "If I had the strength, maybe my eldest brother wouldn't have to leave...... If I had the strength ......"
I was already in tears at this point, and I involuntarily knelt in front of the Yaksha, and I put my head on the ground, and I said, "I want strength, please make me stronger!" ”
