Volume 2 Jade Void Lotus Chapter 14 Tragedy in the World
His family originally lived in Niujia Village, thirty miles southwest of Chang'an City, the family has a few acres of fertile land, generations of farming for a living, twenty years ago a great drought, crops are almost no harvest, but at this time Lao Ga's daughter-in-law gave birth to a son to him, and the year of the son, Lao Ga was overjoyed, in order to rush a good fortune, named his son Xi'er. But a drought is several years, many people starved to death in the village, and the old Ga family couldn't open the pot, but the couple themselves were so hungry that they were yellow and thin, but they never bitter their son, Xi'er was white and fat, and likable, although the family was hard, but also down-to-earth and content.
Later, a group of Taoist priests came to the village, saying that the drought in recent years was because they had offended the drought, and if they wanted to send the drought, they needed the children born in the earth to be the protector of the Dharma and open the altar, so they could also bless these children with safety and health, so they recruited twelve boys, and Xi'er was among them.
It was Xi'er's birthday, and I was going to wait for Xi'er to return to eat white flour buns, but who knew that Lao Ga and his wife waited until the third watch day and saw no trace of their son. It turned out that it was a group of fake Taoist priests, who didn't know what to do at all, but took the opportunity to kidnap the twelve boys, Lao Ga's daughter-in-law died not long after because of excessive grief, Lao Ga was very strong-willed, and vowed to find his son.
Then he and a few villagers who had the same experience all the way to search, and finally some died and some gave up halfway, and now only Lao Ga is left, and what supports him to live in the world is to find his son, which can be regarded as the emperor's life, two years ago Lao Ga found out that those fake Taoist priests fled into the ancient Kunlun Mountain, so he followed to the Western Regions, incognito, in the past two years, he has tried countless times to enter this Gobi, which is called hell, but he can't find the way.
Later, I heard that Batu knew the road here, but after looking for Batu a few times, he had eaten a closed door, and he heard that Batu loved horses, so he raised a few thin horses, but unfortunately the quality was very inferior, and people looked down on it.
Until he met us, he saw our BMW horse at a glance, he wanted to drug us in the wine, it can be seen that Xia Ti refused to drink, can only give up, when he heard that we are also looking for Gu Kunlun Mountain, Lao Ga was overjoyed, in order not to show his feet to calm down, immediately adjusted his plan, for us and Batu to draw a line, and finally quietly followed our horse team into this Gobi.
Needless to say, he must have eaten the poisonous pig-hairy cabbage by mistake, so Lao Ga could only move forward on foot, when he met us, he just wanted to steal a horse and some dry food, who knew that he happened to be bumped into by me, he also knew in his heart that if there was no horse on this road to get out of this vast Gobi, this is probably his only chance to find his son, in a hurry, he hated me, and took the horse and fled.
Later, I also stumbled into this chaotic stone henge, and came to this blister full of dead children. Lao Ga searched for a whole day, and finally found his child among tens of thousands of children's corpses, although these corpses are not the same, but how can his beloved son be a father not recognize, although the child's skin and flesh are blackened, and his eyes have been gouged out, but he is still the same as he was back then. Recalling the cute appearance of his son back then, the happy days of a wife and children, but now his beloved wife has died of resentment, and his son has his eyes gouged out alive, lying in the cold water like black coal, and dying so miserably, what is it like......
Lao Ga choked up several times, and after intermittently telling what happened to him, he picked up his son's body and howled, and kept calling his son's name - "Xi'er", the scene was sad! Hua Bo and I couldn't help crying, but we could only comfort others that they could not be resurrected, and that the most important thing at the moment was to let the child be buried in peace.
Lao Ga nodded and said: "Actually, I have been mentally prepared for so many years, most of my Xi'er is no longer alive, but the child died too miserably, I was blamed at the beginning, I was blamed for being a father, how could I still be alive......"
What has supported Lao Ga all these years is to find Xi'er, and now that his son is dying in this way, it is a kind of extreme trauma, maybe there is no nostalgia in the world for him, I am really afraid that Lao Ga will not be able to think about it, so he asked him: "Lao Ga, what do you plan to do in the future?" ”
Lao Ga wiped a handful of tears, gritted his teeth and said: "I can't die yet, I can't die yet, I have to find a good place first, bury my child, I didn't do anything for the child, I owe him too much, I am not qualified to die, there are many things to do for the child, a lot, I can't just teach the child to die unjustly." He muttered several times, his mind seemed to be a little confused, and suddenly, as if he thought of something, he hurriedly said to me: "Brother Yangzi, I can't stand you...... I hurt you, I will kowtow to you to make amends. As he spoke, he fell to his knees.
I was taken aback, and quickly held him up, I was deeply moved by the persistence of Lao Ga Aison's search for his son, and the anger in my heart had long since disappeared, but I blamed myself for the recklessness just now, and hurriedly said: "I'm fine, it's just a piece of skin, Brother Lao Ga, if you can trust your brother, you will leave the matter of revenge to me, if you meet those fake Taoist priests who harm people, I will definitely teach them to pay for blood debts and blood to avenge Xi'er and the children here." ”
Finally, I asked Lao Ga if he had seen Xia Ti and Da Zhuang, and Lao Ga shook his head and said that he had been looking for his son in this blister and had not seen anyone pass by.
Looking at Lao Ga's current situation, there is no need for him to lie, we have searched around again, but we still have no success. At this time, as I approached my son, I couldn't help but feel a little uneasy in my heart, if there was a thunderstorm in a while, we would definitely die.
Lao Ga told us that it should be safe to spend the night next to this blister, because so many corpses can be kept intact here, proving that this place will not be attacked by thunderstorms, but the smell is a little unpleasant, but it is better than being hacked to death.
Lao Ga's words made sense, so we set up a tent on the side, Lao Ga silently took care of Xi'er's body, Xi'er's eyes were gouged out, her mouth was wide open, and it was full of mud and sand, Lao Ga carefully removed the dirt, and a trace of scarlet was revealed under the carbon black flesh, which made people feel a little sick to their stomachs, until he wrapped the body with a clean linen cloth.
As expected, soon, the thunderstorm arrived as scheduled. I saw countless fire dragons pouring down from the sky, which shook me so badly that we lay in the tent, blocking our ears, and we didn't dare to move. Fortunately, Lao Ga's estimate was right, although this stagnant water bubble was terrifying, it was the safest, and the thunderstorm lasted for more than an hour, and finally escaped.
Early the next morning, Lao Ga picked up Xi'er's body and said goodbye to us, saying that he would go back as soon as possible and let the child be buried in peace. His eyes were deep-set and frighteningly red.
Hua Bo was the best at face consultation, and said to him: "You have lost your beloved son, and your lungs are on fire, and after you go back, you need to use two coins of wolfberries and a white fungus plus a penny of lilies to cook soup and drink, once in the morning and once in the evening, and it will be fine in a few days, otherwise, there will be a big trouble." He mysteriously took out a piece of yellow satin silk book from his bosom and handed it to Lao Ga, saying: "This is a set of secret methods, which can help you avenge your son, go back and study more." ”
Lao Ga hurriedly took the silk book, and thanked Hua Bo several times before carrying Xi'er's body and leaving.
Hua Bo and I decided to continue in the direction of the snow-capped mountain, we had to get out of this terrible stone henge first, this place is really a bit evil, I still left a mark on the stone, no matter how long it can be kept, I still hope that Da Zhuang and Xia Ti can look at the mark to find us.
I took the time to ask Hua Bo, what kind of secret method was given to Lao Ga just now, why have I never seen you take it out?
Hua Bo smiled, said that it is actually the "eighteen anti nineteen fears" written by the elder of Zhihua, which is a method of herbal medicine compatibility and taboos, which integrates the essence of some Buddhist scriptures, and is not a secret method that can take revenge.
I gave Hua Bo a thumb up, and after a few more words, I felt that this place was a little strange, and the shape of the things in front of me was very strange, and it was dizzy to see, and suddenly, Hua Bo grabbed me, pointed ahead, and shouted, "Look, what is that?" ”
I looked in the direction he was pointing, and there was nothing special except for the huge strange rocks and animal bones scattered on the ground. So she shook her head at him.
Warber cried out in horror, "The bones of those animals are alive, and they are moving forward!" ”
Hearing this, I immediately felt goosebumps on my body, either I was crazy or he was crazy, but Hua Bo has always been cautious in doing things, and he has never, could it really be me? What's wrong with you?
I quickly rubbed my eyes, looked carefully, and saw that the white bones of the animal in front of me were indeed moving, so I immediately dragged Hua Bo to run behind a boulder, drew my sword, and leaned my back against the boulder, ready to fight. The skeletons of the cattle and sheep around them actually slowly stood up, forming a skeleton of cattle and sheep with incomplete bones, and these things were still moving, they were lined up in a row, moving forward neatly. I rub! I can't imagine that there would be such a scene.
I patted my head vigorously and looked at the sky, at this time the sun was very full, and I pinched myself again, it hurt, I wasn't dreaming, wasn't this just a ghost in broad daylight? Even hell is not a day and night, I felt a cold from the root of the tail to the whole body, a cold sweat soaked the whole body, there are a lot of skeletons, cattle and sheep, they crowded each other, I found the "clucking" sound of the bones colliding, they seemed to be in pain, and they let out a terrible wail.
