Chapter 13: The Inheritor
The old crow's face was pale and cold, with deep tooth marks and a bloody neck that had been bitten, and the pupils of his eyes were dilated and dull, and his face was like ashes.
Brother Kan, who endured his grief, escaped the attack of the old crow and Long Ziyan hid on the other side of the coffin, and Long Ziyan asked: "Brother Kan, what's wrong with the old crow, he doesn't recognize us anymore?" ”
Brother Kan lowered his head and closed his eyes and said, "How can the dead remember us." ”
"Uncle Crow is dead, so this and this...... Isn't this man really an old crow? ”
"This is, now it's just a blood-sucking zombie, after being bitten by a moldy dumpling, the soul is forced to stay in the body, and the spirit will be invaded by corpse poison, and go crazy out of control, looking for and sucking blood, completely a living dead."
Long Zijing was silent after listening, tears rolled in his eyes, and he looked up at Brother Kan, who looked at the old crow quietly, without any expression on his face, he didn't know how to face the facts that happened in front of him, but his eyes had already exposed the helplessness and sadness in his heart. Long Ziyan raised his hand and put it on Brother Kan's shoulder, "Brother Kan, you ......, I'll ......." ”
Brother Kan waved his hand, raised his head and closed his eyes, squeezing back the tears that flowed out, "Little Dragon King, I know what you want to say, you don't have to worry about me, and you don't have to blame yourself, everything is fate, and no one can blame you." ”
After hesitating, Uncle Crow stretched out his hand to catch the two, but Brother Kan hurriedly pushed Long Ziyan away, and he didn't have time to dodge and couldn't fight back to hit his father, so he could only raise his hand to resist.
Old Crow Uncle has long lost his mind, he just wants to suck blood now, even if it is his son in front of him, the helpless Brother Kan can only be beaten but unable to fight back. Long Ziyan, who couldn't bear it, picked up a wooden stick and wanted to beat Uncle Crow to save Brother Kan, but Brother Kan stopped him sharply.
"Long Ziyan, don't do it! Put it down for me, hear no! You are not allowed to touch my dad, put it down! Brother Kan tightly locked the old crow's hand.
Long Ziyan raised the wooden stick and didn't dare to make a move, "If you go on like this, you will die, you don't want to die, do you want to die in the hands of the old crow?" ”
"You don't have to worry about me when I'm dead, I have nothing to do with you now, you get out of here."
"If Uncle Crow knows that his own son died at his own hands, he will not rest in peace, even if you hate me this time, I will save you." Long Ziyan raised the wooden stick and struck it on the old crow, and the wooden stick split in two.
"Dad......", Brother Kan burst into tears, shouted heartbreakingly, the old crow was beaten unconscious and fell to the ground, Brother Kan held the old crow in his arms and shouted over and over again, "Dad, Dad, wake up, my son is coming to you, you wake up, I'll take you home, go home together as usual, wake up, I beg you, open your eyes and look at me." "Brother Kan, who has been strong to the point of being invincible, can no longer suppress the sadness in his heart this time.
"Smack", Long Ziyan slapped Brother Kan in the mouth, "Su Mingzu, you idiot second goods, you don't want to live just now, do you?" Do you want to die with the old crow? Does the old crow want you to do that? Will he be blinded when he learns under the nine springs? Long Ziyan threw away half of the wooden stick in his hand and knelt in front of the old crow to apologize.
"Uncle Crow, I'm sorry for you, my father's life was also bought by you, our whole family is sorry for you, I have to save Mingzu, I can't watch him die at your hands." Looking at the old crow who has cared for him since he was a child, he is now ......, and two lines of tears flow down Long Ziyan's eyes.
At this time, the old crow in Brother Kan's arms suddenly twitched, holding his head with both hands and shouting pain in his mouth.
"Dad! Father! How are you? You scared me to death, you open your eyes and look at me, I am your son Mingzu. ”
Uncle Crow slowly opened his eyes and saw Brother Kan in front of him, who knew that Uncle Crow pushed away suddenly, hid in the corner of the wall with his head down, waved his hands and shouted: "Don't come here, get out of here quickly, I can't control myself, you go quickly, otherwise I will kill you." ”
Brother Kan stepped forward and asked: "Dad, I'm Mingzu, what's wrong with you, take a good look at me, I'm here to save you, Dad, let's go home." Brother Kan reached out and grabbed the old crow's hand.
"I'm not your father, you're not my son, my son listens to me the most, you're not! You're not! ”
"Dad, what's wrong with you? You tell me, I'll get you out. ”
"If you don't listen to me, I'll tell you to go! You can't save me, so let's go, leave me alone. ”
"Why are you like that? Tell me what happened? ”
"I ...... I was ...... corpse The corpse poison can't be saved. ”
"Corpse poison! I brought glutinous rice to help you detoxify, I'll get it. Brother Kan turned around and took the glutinous rice in the quilt.
Old Crow Bo pulled Brother Kan tightly and didn't let him take it, "Mingzu, don't take it, the black blood-haired corpse poison has spread to my brain, and it's too late now, before I lose consciousness and become a zombie, let me kowtow to you as an apology." Old Raven Bo knelt on the ground and wanted to kowtow to Brother Kan.
Seeing this, Brother Kan hurriedly knelt down and supported Uncle Crow, "Dad, what are you doing here?" Hurry up, how can I stand it if you let my son. ”
"Mingzu, in fact, you are not my biological son at all," the old crow man knelt on the ground and cried with his black hands covering his face.
Brother Kan was shocked by this remark, he couldn't believe it, "Dad, what nonsense are you talking about?" You're poisoned, go, I'll take you out for healing. ”
"Listen to me, I have hidden this secret for decades, while I am still sober, I must let you know the truth, twenty-three years ago, I married a daughter-in-law, the days are plain and warm, but the daughter-in-law has not been able to conceive a child, I often quarrel with my daughter-in-law for this matter, sometimes I am anxious and move, once I got drunk and beat my daughter-in-law, she left home in a fit of anger, this matter spread all over the village, and no one dared to marry me."
"One day, I went up the mountain and met your Uncle Long holding a baby in his arms, so I asked him: Old Dragon King, why is this still carrying the child up the mountain, and adding a younger brother or sister to Ziyan?"
The old dragon king looked around and whispered to me, "Brother Crow, this is not my child, this is an abandoned baby I just picked up on the mountain." ”
"Pick it up, let me see it." I ran to look at the baby in my arms, "It's only been a few days since I was born, and whose parents are cruel enough to throw their child in this wilderness." ”
"That's right, if I hadn't picked it up, the child would have starved to death on this mountain to feed the lynx."
"What are you going to do with this kid?"
"Am I worried? The child's parents couldn't find it for a while, and the child was put at my house first and let Zijing's mother feed it first, and the child was so hungry that he couldn't cry. ”
At that time, I wanted to adopt the baby when I saw him, so after a few days I went to your Uncle Long's house and asked, "Old Dragon King, how is that child?" Did his parents find it? ”
"No, after looking for a few days, there are no clues at all, the child and Ziyan are breastfeeding together, and they are in good spirits."
"Old Dragon King, you see that the child's parents can't be found, I like this child very much, otherwise I would have adopted him."
"Brother Crow, it's great that you're willing to adopt this child, I'm about to send him to an orphanage."
"Then I'll take it away."
"Wait a while, the child has just been born, let your younger siblings help you watch first, you are a big man, how can you see it, this is close, when do you want to come to see the child, two steps away."
I thought about it, "Okay, I'm sorry for you and my younger siblings, I'll go back and clean up for the children at this time, and leave home to prepare some things to watch the children." ”
"That's it, you have been taken care of by Zijing's mother for a few months since you were born, and you and your two-year-old Ziyan have been waiting for me to take you home as my own, and your Uncle Long often takes Zijing to see you, and when I go out, it is also your Uncle Long and Aunt Long who bring you."
"One day, your Uncle Long said that I would give you a name, and I thought about it for a long time before I thought about it, so I called: Su Mingzu, don't you think it's ridiculous, I don't even know who your biological parents are, but I gave you this name, it's ironic."
"I also want to tell you the truth here, when I adopted you, it was not all because I had no children and couldn't find a daughter-in-law, but I wanted to have a technique that could inherit the technology passed down from my ancestors - shaving sweet potatoes to adopt you, I was selfish, so I let you suffer so much in this family since childhood, and suffered so many beatings, I am sorry for you, I didn't give you a happy life, but I cast a black shadow on you."
"Dad, how can there be, not every darkness is so perfect, even perfect for me to indulge in."
