Chapter 66 of Volume 8: I only ask one thing: Why?
"It's not good! The smile on her mother's face disappeared, she looked down at the bare stone under her feet, fell into deep thought, and only after a long time did she say, "Xiaoxue, you have to remember that if your mother is gone, you can't cry." Don't look for me, what you have to do is take care of yourself, protect yourself, don't let anyone bully you, don't let yourself go hungry, and don't make yourself a cat all the time. You...... Understandable? ”
"I don't understand!" I shook my head vigorously, put my arms around my mother's neck, buried my head in her neck, and said affectionately, "Mommy will not leave my ......"
The mother didn't speak, looked at the black thunderclouds in the sky, and let out a long sigh.
I don't know what that sigh means. I'm not going to overcomplicate a sigh.
And because of my mother's seemingly casual but profound sigh, it directly caused me to suffer a lot later.
It was a bare ridge, so bare that there was not a single grass, and even the birds had stopped chirping here.
There are stones everywhere, all kinds of stones, very weird.
Black, yellow, brown, red, everything.
This is a barren land in the true sense of the word.
There is no place to hide, people can walk on it, they can be found from a distance, I don't know why my mother would choose to walk in such a place.
She didn't tell me why, she just hugged me and walked calmly in the hot sun...... The sun that is about to be obscured by dark clouds.
Her forehead was covered with dense beads of sweat, and her face was still so pale, terrifyingly pale. But she didn't say anything, she didn't complain about anything, she just hugged me, step by step, on the bare ridge.
Her steps were very steady and very calm, as if we were not running for our lives at that time, but just walking.
My mother's emotions directly affected me, and I forgot that it was a dangerous and abnormal escape, and regarded it as a trip.
I couldn't stop turning my head to look around, cheering and applauding at the strange sight before me.
My mother didn't stop me, and let me laugh out loud, as if she was afraid that others would not know we were here.
The clouds are getting lower, the sky is getting darker, the sun is gone, little by little, from the edge of the clouds.
The wind is coming, it's very strong, the sand is flying, and the sky is dark!
There are distant leaves blown up, and stones on mountain ridges blown down into the bottomless canyon below!
Wind...... It grew bigger and bigger, and the back of the leaves was blown up, and the forest became white!
There was a faint sound of branches breaking.
My mother held me in my arms and walked in the wind, struggling to walk.
Her body trembled in the wind.
I suddenly felt that my mother was not as great as I imagined, and she was also very weak......
"Mommy......" I said, putting my arms around her neck tightly, "let's find a shelter from the wind...... Let's take a break...... Take shelter from the rain! ”
Mother shook her head and looked at the bare mountain in front of her...... The wind was cut by the edges of the mountain peaks, making a whirring and sharp sound.
I suddenly became scared, put my arms around my mother's neck, and said that I would not let go.
Mother finally stopped and asked softly, "Xiaoxue, you said that people are standing on a high place, is it really good?" ”
"Not good!" I shook my head directly.
"Why?" Mother was a little surprised.
I said, "It will be blown down by the wind and fall to the ground, it hurts!" ”
My mother was slightly stunned, smiled, gently stroked my head, and muttered, "I hope that in the future, you will also know this truth!" ”
I nodded in confusion.
Instead of going any further, my mother carried me to the back of a leeward stone and sat down slowly.
She looked up at the lower and lower clouds in the sky, and couldn't take her eyes off it.
I don't know what she's looking at, but I know it's a hateful cloud, and I don't like to look at it.
A deafening sound was heard ...... "boom," and at the same time, a bright electric light illuminated the ridge and the deep, dark canyon below.
The rain has not come, the thunder has arrived!
I was so frightened that I covered my ears tightly and slipped into my mother's arms.
This thunder is so scary, it seems to be right above our heads, ready to fall at any moment.
Without saying anything, my mother suddenly took several cylinders out of her backpack and screwed them together, and they became a cylinder taller than mine.
Mother looked at the thunderclouds in the sky again, took a deep breath, and took out a ball, which I didn't know, like an egg, and slowly placed it in the cylinder until it was stuffed to the bottom. The cylinder was covered with a lid, revealing only a small section of wire.
The wind was very strong, and it kept shaking the long cylinder, and the mother put the cylinder on the ground, facing the sky perpendicularly.
I don't know what it's for, I just know it's a lot of fun.
"Xiaoxue!" Mother held the long cylinder tightly and pointed it at the sky, looked back at me, and said, "Come pull this line!" ”
I don't know what's going to happen after pulling the string, I just know it's a lot of fun.
Since my mother told me to pull it, I went to pull it.
The little thread, I clumsily held it in my hand and pulled it hard!
It can't be pulled. Pull again.
Burst......
A strange loud sound suddenly sounded in my ears, and the ground shook slightly with this loud bang.
I was startled, my feet were weak, and I sat on the ground with my ass!
Confused!
I looked at my mother, her face blurred in the white smoke.
"Mom......" I pursed my mouth and screamed aggrievedly, and I couldn't help crying again.
"Xiaoxue," my mother put down the cylinder, walked out of the white smoke, laughed, picked me up from the ground, pointed to the sky, and said, "Xiaoxue, what do you see that?" ”
I forgot about the pain of falling to the ground, wiped the tears from my eyes, and looked up at the sky.
I saw a red streamer rising into the sky, and kept flicking its long tail in the wind.
It flew higher and higher, higher and higher, and finally to the back of the clouds!
I could only see the red light moving through the dark clouds, and I could only see the lightning flickering around it.
Look good!
I cheered and applauded.
The grievances just now have long been thrown out of the clouds by me.
My mother looked at me and smiled, but behind the smile, there was an indescribable solemnity. It's an expression I haven't seen before.
I only saw calm and indifference on my mother's face, and I never saw solemnity!
Oh!
No! There was still a solemn look on her face, and it was yesterday morning, when she went out, she had this look on her face. It's just that I didn't dare to look directly at my mother at that time, so my eyes weren't very profound.
Don't...... What's bad going on?
Before I knew it, I couldn't laugh.
I looked at my mother without blinking.
It seems to have noticed something strange about me.
My mother also glanced at me, and in an instant she hid the solemnity, and she pointed to the sky again, and said, "Xiaoxue, look there!" ”
I subconsciously followed my mother's hand to see that the red light was still shuttling through the dark clouds, but it was not as fast as before.
It slowed and slowed down, and at last stopped, and stopped in the clouds, but it only remained for a short time, and then, falling in the thunder and lightning.
"Bang!" The streamer flashed, suddenly exploded, and turned into countless red meteors in the clouds, scattering in all directions, and the red light illuminated half of the sky.
I was startled again, and then cheered for what I saw. It's beautiful, it's really beautiful.
I've seen meteors, but I haven't seen red meteors.
Those red lights came far, far away......
The smile on my mother's face vanished. But I didn't see it, I just saw the red meteors flying around in the sky.
The rain is falling. It's big, and it hurts to hit the body.
I screamed and plunged into my mother's arms.
My mother touched my head dotingly, and out of nowhere she took out a tarpaulin and covered us.
The rain hit the tarpaulin, crackling, and the rapid rhythm made me suddenly feel that this scene was so exciting!
The water that falls on the tarpaulin collects into a stream of water and falls from the edge of the tarpaulin.
Amid the sound of the rain, I waited for the rain to stop.
I thought it was going to stop.
I've always thought we're just sheltering from the rain.
When I was younger, I didn't think about it that much.
Thunder and lightning are raging wildly in this world, and my heart is also pounding, no girl will not be afraid of this scene of lightning and thunder.
The rain, unscrupulously licking the already bare ridge, swept away countless mud and sand, and fell into the canyon below!
I have a chilling feeling that this mountain is too high, this canyon is too deep, this cloud is too dark and low!
All of this weighed me down, and I didn't know how long it would take to rain. When the cold air hit, I couldn't help but sneeze, and somehow I began to fear everything I was in.
Mother's eyes fell on the droplets of water under the tarpaulin, and she stared at the strings of water, staring intently and blinking. I don't know what she's looking at.
"Buzzing ......" in the air, suddenly there is a strange sound, it is the kind of big bird from last night!
At the time, I thought that all that could fly were birds.
I lifted my head and looked at the sky.
But the clouds were rolling, and nothing could be seen.
The strange big bird didn't show up.
Rain...... Inexplicably stopped, and so did the wind! But the black clouds in the sky are still there.
Countless black dots appeared in the air, and they ...... It's all human!
People can fly, too. That was the first time I saw people fly.
My mouth opened wide in astonishment.
The mother was silent, but frowned and remained silent.
Those people got closer and closer to us, closer and closer, and finally they all hovered over the mountain.
I suddenly became frightened and turned around my mother.
Because I sensed that these people are fierce! They have no good intentions.
"Wu Yanyue!" In the sky, someone was shouting his mother's name.
I looked at my mother, but she was not moved by what was happening in front of her, but was silently looking at her watch.
"Wu Lost Yue! We know it's you! Come out! Don't think that a trick can lure us away, when we are all fools? Since you dare to betray the patriarch and flee, you should know what kind of fate you will have! Come out! Otherwise...... Don't blame us for flattening this bald mountain! ”
The mother still did not speak, but bit her lip tightly.
We were crouching under the stones, and the tarpaulin was the color of the stones, and the villains in the air should not have seen us yet.
"You just run away! Why do you want to steal your own relics? Why did you steal the Spirit Snake Flame Order Silver Order? You're a great sin! You go back with us and take the initiative to admit your mistake to the patriarch. Maybe he'll consider letting you go. Otherwise, you know what happened to you!
Blood Sacrifice Golden Order! ”
"A bunch of lackeys......" the mother muttered, continuing to look down at her watch, and then, again, into the air.
There are a lot of people in the air, and there is a huge "bird". My mother told me that it was called an "airplane". I learned that it was not a bird, but a "chicken". A flying chicken is naturally a flying chicken. It's just that this chicken is too ugly and too big.
In addition to people and flying chickens, there are also dark clouds, countless dark clouds.
"Wu Yanyue, are you really planning to go down like this? Blood Sacrifice Golden Order, along with your daughter? ”
My mother frowned slightly, looked at her watch again, seemed to see something, and breathed a sigh of relief, then she uncovered the tarpaulin and pulled me out!
"You are not afraid of the golden order, and you will not tolerate my daughter's blood! When the time comes, it explodes and kills all of you? ”
The mother's expression was cold, a very terrible cold.
As soon as we appeared, there was a commotion in the air, and everyone was aiming at us with a strange dick.
I was a little scared, and I just tugged at my mother's sleeve.
"Joke!" The first person said, "Are there still fewer traitors who have been sacrificed by the blood of the Golden Order?" How can you care about the two of you? ”
"Huh!" The mother smiled, but she laughed terribly, she looked at the people in the air, and said awe-inspiringly: "Now, who is the traitor, you should know in your hearts!" Who is doing the opposite, who is violating the will of the ancestors? And who is perverted to tear up the agreement between him and Wei Ling? And who is slaughtering compatriots in disguise?
Abolish the presbyterian church and monopolize power, who gave him the right? Ancestors? Or the Presbyterians? Or is it the will of the people? And who divided the ranks of the high and low in the clan and provoked contradictions in the clan? Who is this man, ye say? ”
My mother's voice was a little hoarse, but in my ears, it seemed to have a very powerful energy, which shook the whole canyon and buzzed.
The people in the air fell silent, and no one spoke.
The mother sneered, "You don't know who it is? Still don't dare to say? Because you all know in your hearts that this man is the patriarch! That old thief! ”
After a long silence, the person who spoke just now said, "Even so, so what?" You can't change anything. The will of the patriarch is not something you and I can resist. ”
"Really?" The mother said, "If one day the person who dies is your daughter, can you still be so peaceful?" Would you still say that?
Hehe! Just because he's the patriarch, he can change hundreds of ways for my daughter to die? I'll just ask...... Why? ”
