Chapter 21 Cui Yingying and the years of aquatic life have passed
Cui Yingying looked at the old man in front of her, the old man was amiable, but the focus of her attention was what the old man said, and she glanced at her mother
The mother asked, "This old man, I don't know if you are ......?" ”
Cui's mother is very respectful, because the old man is really old, older than the oldest old man she has seen in the past forty years, as the saying goes, old people become fine, so Cui's mother did not dare to slack off, and said respectfully
The old man smiled kindly: "It doesn't matter who I am, what matters is the fate of the aquatic child and you, there are some things that you need to do, otherwise he will never recover!" ”
Cui Yingying's eyes were shocked, she didn't dare to take risks, it was about her aquatic brother! She hurriedly said, "Grandpa, you say! ”
The old man glanced at Cui's mother, Cui's mother also understood the meaning of the old man, so she quietly retreated, she was not afraid of the old man's bad intentions, because the old man gave her a really kind and decent feeling, besides, this is the village, what threat can an old man from outside have?
The old man sat down gently, while Cui Yingying was still leaning on the head of the bed
The old man said: "There is a catastrophe in your fate with the water, this catastrophe is inevitable, but the secret of heaven must not be revealed, you just need to remember, when you find that he has come back and completely changed, you go to the back mountain, go to the old locust tree that you are destined to be, and engrave your life and his story on the root of the old locust tree, and there is a jade slip here, and the words on it must be read out at the last moment, under the old locust tree!" ”
The old man gave Cui Yingying a jade bamboo slip with two lines engraved on it, Cui Yingying looked at the old man puzzled, because what the old man said was really difficult for her to understand, she was just about to ask, and the old man spoke again
"Hehe, you don't have to understand, just do what I say, otherwise your aquatic brother will be doomed, maybe this fate can be truly solved when you are awakened many years later, but that is a matter of the future, if you want to wait until then, you must do what I say, remember, remember!"
The old man didn't wait for Cui Yingying to speak again, he rode directly to see the green cow, and under Cui Yingying's wide eyes, he saw that the green cow took the old man into the air like this, and then flew away and disappeared......
Cui Yingying was shocked, the shock brought to her by the old man at this time was huge, and it was this shock, at this time Cui Yingying deeply remembered the old man's words, she collected the old man's jade slip closely, although she still didn't understand the old man's words and the words on the jade slip, but she still remembered it firmly, because the old man gave her a kind of trust from the heart, although I don't know why......
The old man soaring in the sky sighed on the back of the green ox, and he muttered: "That's all I can do, I hope he can solve it satisfactorily after many years, but I don't know who it will be then?" Descendants of the Southern Family? Descendants of the Northern Family! Or...... Others? ”
When the old man left, Cui's mother didn't ask, because she knew that her children and grandchildren had their own blessings, and she wouldn't interfere more, not to mention what the old man who rode the green ox and flew into the sky said! She also saw the figure of the old man leaving, she thought that the old man was a fairy, because she knew that it was impossible for people to fly, let alone a green ox that was flying?
Cui Yingying packed up the old man's jade slip, she looked at Brother Shui's bamboo slip again, tears fell again, she muttered to herself: "Brother Shuisheng, you will definitely succeed, Yingying believes in you"
What exactly is written on the bamboo slips? What did the aquatic say?
The bamboo slip reads: "Yingying, godmother, I don't understand the birth, old age, sickness and death of life, but the death of the uncle touched me a lot, I decided to go to the deep mountain of the legend, I want to find the way of immortality, I want the godmother and Yingying to live forever with me!" The warbler doesn't have to worry, the godmother doesn't have to worry, the aquatic will definitely succeed, because the aquatic has to marry the warbler, and he has to call the godmother his mother in person! When I return, it will be the day we get married! ”
Yes, life is faced with a lot of birth, old age, sickness and death, joys and sorrows, and the aquatic life has made the already sad Cui Yingying more and more lonely, and she has lived a simple life
Cui's mother died in the third year, and when she died, Cui Yingying also cried for a day and a night, and then she became numb, the same wake, the same burial!
The village did not become different because of the death of one or two people, and they still lived a life of sunrise and sunset
Cui Yingying is eighteen years old this year, you must know that in this world, eighteen years old is completely an old girl
Cui family, Cui Yingying sat on the stone bench in the courtyard, and at this time sitting opposite her was the village matchmaker Liu Po, Liu Po was married by Wang Zhuzi's family this time
"Yingying, you see, this Wang Zhuzi is one of the best men in the village, the family has a good harvest of fertile land, and the six animals are prosperous, Liu Po thinks that you are a good match for him, it is the order of your parents, the words of the matchmaker, but I have to ask you, what do you think?"
Cui Yingying frowned and said, "Liu Po, you have said it many times, I said it, I have a marriage contract, I will not agree to anyone"
Liu Po rolled her eyes and said: "Yingying, you have also seen it, it has been three years, and the aquatic life has not shown up, besides, it is said that no one has ever come back to the people who went to the deep mountains, you also have to think about it, you are eighteen, after this year, you can only find an older man in the future, Liu Po This is for your good!" ”
Cui Yingying was a little angry because she had always believed in Brother Shuisheng, and she didn't allow anyone to say Brother Shuisheng
"Liu Po, thank you for your kindness, I have made up my mind, please go back"
Liu Po was angry, because it was true that she had been here many times, and it was really uncomfortable to be rejected every time
"Cui Yingying! My Liu Po's words are put here, your aquatic brother hasn't come back for three years, most of them can't come back, if you don't agree this time, then you can only be an old orphan girl, you have to know, what will everyone think of you when there is an old orphan girl in the village? Will you be able to live in the village again? ”
Cui Yingying knew that she was old now, she knew everything, she just touched the bamboo slip on her waist and said firmly: "Liu Po, there is no need to say it, please come back" Cui Yingying made a gesture of please
Sure enough, Liu Po slammed the door in a rage, and shouted: "Let you be an old orphan girl, wait to be driven out of the village!" Hmph"
The courtyard was quiet again, and Cui Yingying didn't want to think so much, because she always believed that Brother Shui Sheng would come back, so she wasn't worried
However, the fate of the world is like this, the miracle did not appear, and the aquatic life has not come back two years later, and Cui Yingying at this time is already twenty years old, you know, in this world, no one wants it at the age of twenty!
Yes, what Liu Po said two years ago has experienced, and a large group of villagers have gathered outside Cui's house
"Get out, get out of the village"
"Yes, get out, how unlucky the old orphan girl is, are you trying to kill everyone?"
"Don't be right in the village, you'll bring disaster to the village, get out"
"Roll"
"Get out!"
The crowd shouted and shouted
Cui Yingying silently shed tears in the house, she had also heard that the old orphan girl was unlucky and evil in the eyes of the world, but in the village where she had lived for 20 years, she actually drove her away, she was very sad, she cried, she cried very sadly, crying about the reality of the people in the village, and also crying about the disappearance of Brother Shui for five years
"Okay, don't make any noise, the warbler is also waiting for the aquatic baby, everyone understand, the warbler, you are indeed not suitable to stay in the village, you go to the back mountain, you can live there, as long as you don't go down the mountain!" Village Chief Li was decided by the village after Lao Cui's death, and he came out to adjust at this time
Cui Yingying heard it, she knew that she couldn't change her worldly opinion, but she thought that Brother Shui Sheng promised her that she would come back, so she agreed to the village chief's suggestion
Under the gaze of the whole village, Cui Yingying silently packed up her things and went to the back mountain, the village chief also built a thatched house in the back mountain, urging the warbler to be somewhat grateful, just like that, she lived in the back mountain, and the old locust tree as a companion, often looked at the village entrance under the old locust tree, she looked forward to the return of the figure
The village chief also took good care of her. After all, Lao Cui had a good relationship with her before his death, so he often sent some food to the back mountain, but he didn't show up, because he also believed in secular sayings, even if he sympathized with Cui Yingying
Ten years later, the village chief also died, and the food was cut off, but at this time, the back mountain was full of simple grain, including green vegetables, wheat, and some chickens and ducks
Similarly, Cui Yingying will look at the entrance of the village under the old locust tree every day, but only she began to carve on the roots, she still remembers the words of the old man, she thinks she should start carving, but after all, she didn't see that figure, Cui Yingying is thirty years old this year......
Time flies, fifty years have passed since the departure of the aquatic life, Cui Yingying at this time is full of white hair, she is old, she still goes to the old locust tree every day to see the entrance of the village, at this time the roots of the old locust tree exposed outside have been engraved with words. But old, her eyes are not good, she can't see clearly at the entrance of the village, but she still comes to the old locust tree mechanically every day, she touched the old locust tree, and suddenly, the old locust tree has fallen leaves, which has never been, since Cui Yingying came to the back mountain, she has never seen the old locust tree fall leaves, even in the winter of every year, the old locust tree has not fallen leaves, today, the old locust tree has fallen leaves, she is a little strange, but she doesn't care, and the old locust tree has fallen leaves, Cui Yingying suddenly felt a very painful heart, she knelt under the old locust tree and moaned in pain, She didn't understand why her heart hurt, it hurt like this
At this time, a young man appeared at the entrance of the village, the young man's clothes were in tatters, he came to the Cui family's old residence, but found that it was deserted, he saw an uncle carrying a hoe, so he asked: "Uncle, does Cui Yingying not live here?" ”
The uncle glanced at the young man strangely, and then thought of something, so he said, "You said that old orphan girl? How many years ago she moved to the back mountain, young man, let me tell you, that is an old orphan girl, it will bring bad luck to people, you don't go to her, but she has been in the back mountain, I don't know if she will die or not! ”
After the old man finished speaking, he found that the young man suddenly became cold, and his eyes were bloodshot
The boy said again, "You drove her away?" ”
The old man was inexplicable, but he looked at the form and said to him: "Don't get me wrong, although my Wang Zhuzi also participated, but that is what everyone meant, and you also know what the old orphan girl means to the village!" ”
The young man's momentum suddenly increased suddenly, his scarlet eyes turned blue, and two huge fangs actually grew out of his mouth, he pounced on Wang Zhuzi and bit his neck fiercely
Wang Zhuzi felt that life was passing slowly, you know, he was sixty-seven, twenty higher than the average forty years old at this time, but he didn't expect that this moment was going to end, he wanted to scream, but he couldn't make a sound when his neck was bitten, he suddenly felt that this young man was very familiar, he felt that he had seen it somewhere, but he didn't think about it, so he was weak
Wang Zhuzi fell, still wide-eyed, he was dead, and he didn't blink an eye
The boy tilted his head and glanced at the village
"Roar...... Roar"
He screamed twice frantically, and then walked towards the village, he wanted revenge, he couldn't get used to the humanity of the village when he left fifty years ago, let alone hear them treat her like this to the one who was so important in his heart! He's crazy, he's bloodthirsty and terrifying......
Yes, he was an aquatic man who went into the mountains alone fifty years ago......
