Chapter Twenty-Six: The Secret in the Stone

"I don't really have much to say. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 info" The clear female voice continued, startling Song Jie, followed by a burst of laughter like silver bells, and the sound of footsteps, and then as if changing the venue, Song Jie heard a somewhat heavy breathing, "Ming'er and his father, let's talk about it." With the sound of deep and shallow breathing, Song Jie also heard a regular thud, thud, and then the sound of something being thrown aside.

"I'm busy, good, you go play by yourself." The man's voice was calm and capable, with doting in his voice, "If you have anything you want to say, wait until Yun'er grows up and tell him directly, why record this." The energy here is thin, and it is estimated that Ming'er can only live as an ordinary person for a lifetime. ā€

"I'm afraid I'll forget, hmph, it's a big idiot, you don't understand me." The woman's slightly coquettish anger quickly dissipated in the man's helpless sigh. "Forget it, forget it, you don't want to say I think about it yourself."

Then there was the footsteps of the woman leaving that one again. The steps made a clattering sound on the wooden plank, and soon after, Song Jie heard the cry of a child. The woman's steps were a little hectic, "Oh, Ming'er is good, Ming'er doesn't cry, what's wrong?" Mom didn't leave, Mom was here. ā€

The woman coaxed the child for a long time before the child quieted down and slowly let out the sound of snoring from his sleep.

With the sound of pushing open the door, the woman stepped lightly into a quiet room, and closed the door lightly, "Ming'er, I really want to tell you in person, but I'm afraid I won't wait until that time, your father is chopping wood, he has done a lot for our family, and he doesn't have time to discover my little secret, maybe it will be a long time before he understands the meaning of what I am doing now, that stupid guy." ā€

"I really love you and love our family, but I lied to your father. I am a curse, to be exact, all of my family. The woman paused for a moment before continuing, "My ancestor hunted the young lion of the Golden Crystal Flame Lion because of his greed for appetite, but it was the son of the lion king who was able to transform into a shape, and since then, my whole clan has been cursed because of that ancestor, and when the baby born is four years old, my people must eat him raw to prolong his life, otherwise he will suffer from the flames and die, and the ancestor was very sad and killed himself, but the curse was fulfilled later, and before our generation, every member of the clan was willing to die for his childBut the fault is not true love, and you can't give your heart to others, everyone sees their children as the continuation of their own lives, but in our generation, everything has changed. There was a squirming sound, and the woman seemed to curl herself up, "At that time, rumors of the secret method of immortality suddenly began to circulate, starting from the Thousand Snow Plains, and have been sweeping through the entire Elavidor Empire like a plague, immortal!" Since you can not die, what is the use of having the next generation! Our patriarch fell into madness, bewitching the whole people to devour their children, prolong their lives, find the secret of immortality, and men and women were forbidden to love each other, so that they could not go through that process of madness. ā€

"But there are already people who have been married, including the patriarch, whose wife is pregnant with a new life in her belly, and four years later, he actually killed the young girl alive, and forced those who already had children to follow his example, people are selfish, and under the coercive command, how many people who can live will choose to die, even if ...... Even if it's a blood relative? ā€

No! There are still people who have risen up to resist, parents who already have children! But those who dared to disobey him watched the children they had sacrificed their lives to be killed alive when they were burned by the flames! Those who have children are a minority after all, and most of them maintain a posture of not caring about themselves, even if they have some complaints, they don't dare to really resist the patriarch who has the most powerful magic power in the whole clan.

"There will be one and there will be two, gradually, everyone is numb to the behavior of eating their own children alive, but after six years, the rumors of immortality seem to have disappeared, and they have gradually disappeared two years ago, and those who eat their own children have found a kind of scarlet energy fluctuations, the speed of cultivation has greatly increased, the energy is more controlled, the life span will be naturally extended, and it is completely possible to have another child after a few decades, so the clan rule is retained as if it was tacitly approved, I'm probably the youngest generation there, seventeen years old, and I finally dared to escape after witnessing the bloodshed, how sinister it was outside, I didn't know, but I didn't want to stay there for a second. ā€

"Ming'er, forgive me for not giving you a better life, I went through a lot on the way all the way, during which I was deceived, beaten and scolded, and couldn't eat, until I met your father, he appeared in my life like a god, even though I knew that I couldn't love someone, I still couldn't extricate myself from falling in love with him, he was so sunny, so cheerful, and even willing to give everything for me, when he said he loved me, what reason did I have to refuse him?" The woman seemed to remember something, and let out a somewhat low, shallow laugh. Song Jie could even imagine a woman sitting on her knees on the edge of the stone bed, the sun shining through the paper window to dye her hair, a light smile on the corner of her lips, with memories in her eyes, and even tears in the corners of her eyes, which made people feel pitiful.

"He only knew that I was going to avoid the pursuit, but he didn't know what I was dodging, he took me all the way to run, kept running, all the way to the Thousand Snow Plain, but we were still chased, when I was in a panic, I accidentally fell into a rift, his stupid man, actually jumped down with me, you know, those people really want to kill only me. When we woke up again, we seemed to be in another world, where there were rolling mountains everywhere, and it became much more difficult for us to invoke energy, my poor child, Mom is sorry for you, I'm afraid you will only be an ordinary person in the future. ā€

"What the hell am I talking about strange things, what did I say when I wanted to leave a message for you?" The woman sighed helplessly, and changed back to Qingyue's voice like a silver bell, "Really, you can't hear it anyway, and I'm barely able to store the sound in it now, I guess your stupid dad is about the same, just think I'm recording a diary." What do I want to say to you, yes! Your father is so handsome, your mother is so beautiful, in the future, you will definitely fall in the wind and graceful, I believe that your father will not let you grow crooked even if I don't have it. I'd love to see you after you're four, fourteen, forty...... In any case, you must be a happy little bastard in the future, don't be influenced by life, listen to your heart to do things, and also, if the fault is not true love, don't pay sincerely, because love requires life as a price. The woman's last words were sweet and tender. Then the stone was quiet, and just when Song Jie thought it was gone, there was a murmur of the stone again.

"Ming'er, today is your fourth birthday, the little trickster is so old that he still wets the bed, I found an excuse to sneak out and hide in a hidden cave I found a long time ago, I talk to your father every day about how you grow up, he must understand what I want to tell you." You said that your father would not go back when he found out that I was gone, would he think that I had run away? That big idiot. The woman's voice was choked and trembling slightly, "I'm really, a little scared, it must be because it's so dark here." ā€

"Ahh The woman's mouth finally let out a scream after a hissing sound of gasping cold air, then the sound of tumbling and crashing, and then the sound of the stone was completely broken.

Just when Song Jie wanted to shed tears for this woman's tragic experience, the woman's bright voice appeared again, "I actually didn't die, this is really good news, it seems that thin energy is not necessarily a bad thing, I can see my son's fourteen years old, forty years old, slowly growing up." ā€

"Little stone, you know too much, I'm going to kill it." The woman's playful voice seemed to whisper softly in her ear, and then there was a tumbling sound, "Little stone, little stone, dust to dust, dust to dust, you just lie quietly on this land." ā€

This time, there was really no sound coming from the stone, Song Jie's tears still flowed out, and he couldn't tell why he was shedding tears, probably because he heard the narration of that voice, and he actually felt empathy, crying with joy.

Dawn was jumping up and down beside him anxiously, anxiously chanting Song Jie's name in Song Jie's mind over and over again, and even in a hurry, it directly opened its mouth and whined, and its head hit Song Jie's body several times but failed to get a response, Dawn was really a little blind.

Song Jie, who came back to his senses, subconsciously rubbed his temples that were noisy, just now when he listened to the sound in the stone, he was stunned, and he was not disturbed by the external environment, but this is not good, Dawn completely thought that Song Jie was practicing magic against the stone, and looked at Song Jie with a slightly focused look with vigilance, this person will not come directly to hit it, I heard that the creatures of the demon are not recognized.

"Okay, let's go, don't be stupid." Song Jie smiled at Dawn a little helplessly, and his tear-stained smile seemed a little far-fetched.

Dawn wagged his tail to confirm that there was no abnormal change in this person, and his big head arched Song Jie's palm, "What happened just now?" ā€

"Nothing, I heard a story, the story of the stone." Song Jie said softly.

Dawn also gave Song Jie a pair of white eyes, "Blow you, return the story of the stone, you have the ability, you listen to my story." ā€

I have a story, do you have wine......?
