Chapter 11: Goodbye
Ji Xiaolan's "Notes on Reading Wei Caotang" tells such a story that there was once a person who dug up a dilapidated ancient tomb when digging the ground.
The bones of the coffin in the tomb have long since turned to dust, but there is a heart that still beats alive.
The diggers thought they had encountered a youkai, so they threw it aside in the water and threw it away.
There is also a stone slab in the tomb, which is mottled with handwriting: "The white bi is flawed, the yellow spring is shameful, the soul is broken and the water is rippling, the bones are buried in the toes, I make an oath, I wish to bury the bottom, thousands of years later, someone sent this, you are not chaste, you are dissolved into mud, you are wronged, and your heart will not die." The last topic is Renshen March, and the cultivator is the fifth female work. ”
It turned out to be an old father named Gengshi Weng, who died because of his five daughters, so he carved this stone slab and made a wish to heaven that if his daughter was innocent, the heart would not rot and be immortal after thousands of years.
With his own life, he finally proved his daughter's innocence.
When he knew that his daughter died unjustly, he must have endured the pain of his heart that no one could empathize with, so his heart also died.
What? Just because of blood and family!
The cultivator is dead, and so am I.
Qinghai came back, and the moment the news came from Liuyamen, the world was calm.
I don't believe it, and I can't believe it's true.
The old ancestor in his old age, the kind and kind grandparents...... At an age when they were suffering from life and should have enjoyed the joy of family, they were slaughtered by the Ghost King Sect!!
In the entire village, except for Second Brother Yu, no one was spared!
Slowly closing his eyes, tears squeezed out of his sockets and rushed out......
When I left the village, my ancestor had secretly instructed: If you don't want to make a difference, you must never go back to the village, and you must not mention everything you have in the village to anyone, including the book, except for Angelica and Qianyu, I have been hiding it well all these years.
It turned out that since then, the ancestor has seen through the future, and he thinks that if I don't say it, she won't talk about it, and she can avoid fate.
"Why?" The whole heart seemed to be hurt by a thousand cuts, and he had no strength to be angry, so he asked in a low voice.
Director Bu sat on the sofa, gently adjusted the gold-rimmed glasses on the bridge of his nose, stared at his knees, unable to face my sadness, and said softly, "They may be looking for something." ”
"Something." I already have the answer in my heart, it seems that Chen Manzhi doesn't know my background.
"A book." Director Bu's eyes no longer avoided, staring at me, with a hint of strangeness in his eyes, and asked in a somewhat hurried tone, "Have you seen it?" ”
"What a book." I came back coldly.
Really! These crazy brutes, for the sake of a book, actually ended 26 lives in the village, is it true that in their hearts, human lives are really like mustard!
"Oh...... It's okay if you don't know. It's just a rumor in the rivers and lakes that your ancestor has a strange book, that ghost king sect is crazy, and he has been checking it for many years, and he has always wanted to find it, you must not be known about his life experience. Director Bu closed his eyes slightly, and his drooping eyelids covered the essence of a pair of eyes, looking extremely kind.
"Got it." I clenched my fists, my nails digging into my flesh without the slightest pain. These brutes! Chen Manzhi, if I don't kill you in this life, I, Bai Yueqing, will not be a person!
"Go back to your room, that Yu Yuqing is in your room." Director Bu looked at me with a benevolent face, waved his right hand, and motioned to go back to the room.
"Thank you, Director Bu." At this moment, I was drained of my strength by grief, and like the walking dead, I withdrew from Director Bu's office.
Night Wind Rin and Yunjian and Angelica were all guarding the door, and when they saw me coming out, they immediately hugged me with concern, and they didn't know how to speak, just looked at my tearful face, silent.
Moving his heavy body, he walked towards the room, if it wasn't for the support of his heart, he would have fallen to the ground a long time ago.
I must ask Second Brother Yu what happened that day!
In the room sat an emaciated figure, slumped on a bedside stool like a puddle of mud.
"Second Brother Yu......?"
A haggard face raised to look at me, and the dim eyes looked at me, stirring up a touch of brilliance, and then dissipated again in an instant: "Yueqing......?" ”
The two of them were speechless, their eyes full of tears and pain.
I grabbed Second Brother Yu's shoulders, knelt in front of the bed, and asked in a hoarse voice: "Second Brother Yu, you say, you say, how did you ....... that day" Choked, couldn't say too much, threw myself into Second Brother Yu's arms and cried bitterly.
Second Brother Yu slowly pulled me up from the ground, sat on the edge of the bed, and said with relief, "Yueqing...... You've grown up. ”
He paused for a moment, then said sadly, "It's good that you weren't ......there that day," and his eyes gradually emptied, recalling the massacre that day.
Late at night, the second brother Yu, who should have slept very hard, for some reason, suddenly a spirit, woke up from his sleep, he said in his heart that the wind in the night poured into the house, so he got up and went to the pigsty outside the house to relieve himself, halfway through, he heard the sound of kicking and tapping in the yard.
The alert second brother Yu hid sideways behind the pigsty door to peek, the moonlight was bright, and he could see it clearly, and there were eight people in night clothes in the courtyard. He had only seen this kind of outfit on TV and in comics, and he was so shocked that he covered his mouth with his hands, for fear of alarming the group of monsters in the yard, and he didn't want to move his feet and trip the iron tree on the side.
Eight people in the courtyard turned towards the pigsty in unison, each with a Sichuan opera mask on their faces, which looked extremely infiltrating in the middle of the night! Second Brother Yu was so frightened that he didn't know what to do for a while, and the man in black with a mask approached the pigsty step by step.
The sow in the pigsty has just been cubed, it is easy to be frightened by the child, just tripping the sound of the catalpa, woke up the sow in the pen, at the moment is snorting in the pen patrolling, a group of piglets are also headless flies, looking for the body odor of the sow in the pen everywhere, suddenly into a mess.
The father of the second brother Yu heard the sow arching the circle, afraid that he would be robbed at night, so he turned on the light in the house, and the shadow of his father scolding and dressing was printed on the window, and the atmosphere in the courtyard became extremely subtle at this time, and the man in black wearing a mask was half-squatting, and he did not act rashly. Second Brother Yu hid behind the pigsty door, observing everything in the yard through the crack in the door, and his heart beat to his throat.
His father groped for a while, slowly tossed and turned to the door of the house, found that the door was unlocked, turned back to the house vigilantly, grabbed a shotgun in his hand, turned around and pushed the door open.
The eight black-clothed people in the courtyard moved when they heard the sound and rushed up, and the second brother Yu saw it really by the moonlight and lights in the pigsty, and was about to run out to help, but was hit in the back of the head and fell into a coma in an instant. Before he fell unconscious, he only smelled a strange fragrance, the smell was too special, and after smelling it once, it left a deep imprint.
The next day, he woke up and found himself lying in a pigsty, covered in the smell of dung, and a herd of piglets sleeping around him.
Recalling the events of last night, the second brother turned around and got up with a spirit, jumped out of the pigsty and ran into the yard, only to see his already stiff father and mother pounce at the door of the room. The room was turned upside down, but nothing was lost.
Second Brother Yu came from grief, hugged his parents' corpse and cried all morning, only to find that the village was frighteningly silent.
Stumbling to the entrance of the village, he found the corpses of the villagers strewn all over the way. He hurriedly ran to the ancestor's house, and found that every corner of the room had been rummaged, the ancestor was lying weakly in a pool of blood, there was still a breath, the second brother Yu held the ancestor in his arms in a panic, trembling and wiping the wound for her, kneeling on the ground and crying silently. At this time, the ancestor was like a candle in the wind, his eyes were half closed, and he said to Second Brother Yu with difficulty: "Yazi... Fast...... Run, go...... Northeast, let ...... Yueqing... Be careful. ”
......
Second Brother Yu buried the villagers in the village, packed up a few relics of his parents and ancestors, and rushed to the northeast in despair.
On the way, I don't know who guided him, so I took him to the Liuyao Gate, but the mysterious person who helped him along the way never showed up.
I can't guess whether it's friend or foe.
After listening to Second Brother Yu's narration, there are more and more mysteries, surrounding me. The incomparably sad heart could no longer support it, his eyes were black, and he fainted.
