Chapter 68: The Abandoned Son of Zhuang Valley

Bang!

The young Tanzan frantically pushed up the stone door behind him, shutting out the noisy roar and the debris of the stones thrown at him in confusion. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

"Bad luck gerbil boy! There's no home for you anymore! Your parents are gone, what are you doing here! ”

"That's it! Listen to my abba, you were born to bring disaster to the village, two hundred men as strong as sand bears went to fight in the West, and once they went, they never came back! It's you who hurt our Zhuang Gu! ”

"Gerbil Boy! Get out of Sotazhuang Valley! ”

"Gerbil Boy! Get out! ”

……

The stone gate behind him crackled, mixed with the incessant abuse of his peers, and the young Tanzan was expressionless, looking at the stone gate with empty eyes, this space where he had lived for seven years, this world where he had deep memories.

I don't know how long I was pestle, until the voices behind him were gone, and Tanzan straightened up. Tanzan's unkempt hair was covered in dust, and he felt that the left side of his forehead was slimy, and something was sticking his face and hair together. Tanzan reached out and touched it, a hot stinging pain came from his forehead, and his hands were covered with blackened and half-coagulated blood.

Still expressionless, Tanzan rubbed the blood from his hand against the wall and walked towards the depths of the hole.

This is his home. A few rays of bright white sunlight peeked through the holes above, illuminating the dark brown walls and vine-covered plants.

"Abba." Tanzan walked to the edge of the large straw bed at the bottom of the pit, and it was only at this moment that the boy's expressionless face showed the panic and bewilderment of a child of this age.

"Abba, what am I going to do in the future, Abba!" Tears mixed with red blood trickled down Tanzan's small face, and Tanzan choked and pushed the shriveled and blackened corpse on the large grass bed, his voice trembling and weak.

After crying for a while, little Tanzan seemed to suddenly remember something, stretched out his dirty little hand and groped in the big grass bed under his father's corpse, and after a while, little Tanzan pulled out a tightly wrapped small package with his hand.

The package was only half the size of a small Tanzan's palm, but it was very firm. Little Tanzan wiped his tears and looked at the thing in his hand with blank eyes.

My father said that if one day I was forced to go to the West to fight, I would take the contents of the package with me. Although little Tanzan didn't know what was in the package, his father said that as long as he had it with him, he didn't have to be afraid of anything.

Recalling his father's voice and smile, the young child cried again. The wound on his forehead was pulled, and it hurt hotly. Little Tanzan choked and crawled on the side of the grass bed, holding his father's shriveled and stiff hands, and his little body kept sobbing, "Dad...... Who will be able to talk to me in the future...... Who cares about me? Father...... I won't see you smiling anymore...... Are you afraid, alone, and alone? Lonely? Father...... Your hands don't have any warmth at all, are you cold? Daddy......"

Next.

Awakened by the noise, little Tanzan huddled in a corner like a gerbil and watched a few grown men like sand bears move around his home. They cleaned up the mess all over the floor and moved in a few baskets of fresh sand fruits, and one of the men saw that Xiao Tanzan had woken up, sighed, and walked over.

"Tanzan, are you hungry?" The man squatted down and took out a handful of bright red fresh sand fruits from his pocket, "Come, eat quickly, it's not enough." ”

"Uncle Mi Yuan." When Little Tanzan saw the man and the sand fruit in his hand, tears couldn't help but welled up again.

"Let's eat." Mi Yong let out a long sigh and pushed the sand fruit in his hand.

Little Tanzan cried and took the food from Mi Yuan's hand, and Mi Yan stood up straight, walked around behind Xiao Tanzan, and tried to wrap the shriveled corpse on the large grass bed with the sand deer skin he brought with him.

"Uncle Mi Yong, what are you going to do?" Little Tanzan jumped up, pushed Mi Yuan away, and spread his thin arms in front of his father's corpse like protecting his beloved toy, "Uncle Mi Yuan, where are you going to take my Abba!" ”

The man frowned a little helplessly, "Tanzan, your Abba can't lie here anymore." Ergu Chang gave an order, you must bury your Abba today, if you don't bury it today, Ergu Chang will no longer pay for your Abba's coffin, and you don't want your Abba to die and not get peace, right? ”

Little Tanzan didn't fully understand all the words, but he understood the last sentence that Mi Yong said, if Mi Yong didn't let Mi Yong take Abba's body away, Abba might not be at peace in the future.

Seven-year-olds have learned many things, but in this cannibalistic world, children are especially sensitive to death, and they know even better than adults what it means.

Little Tanzan has never met his mother, so, in Little Tanzan's world, his father is his home, his everything. The death of his father is like his only home being burned down by a fire, although Tanzan knows that this is his home, which has been filled with all his memories, but when everything disappears with the fire that burned everything, Tanzan still realizes in fear that there will never be a home again, and his father will also never come back.

The intense fear had a physical effect, and Tanzan felt nothing more than the whole world spinning, his feet tingling, and he tried to move his feet, but the touch of his feet made him feel like he was stepping on cotton.

Tanzan fell. As he fell backwards, he watched as his father's shriveled body was wrapped in a rough dark brown animal skin by Mi Yuan and several other men. Then, his father disappeared from his sight forever, and the sand deer skin that wrapped his father was carried by Mi Yong and another man, and when Mi Yong crossed Tanzan, the corners of his eyes were a little unbearable, but he didn't say anything more, and walked out with several other men.

Little Tanzan stood up weakly, and he leaned against the cave wall and walked slowly to the door. The stone door was open, and the huge light was like the sun falling in front of it. The light was dazzling, and little Tanzan's eyes were stimulated with tears, and he closed his eyes and slowly melted into the light.

The sky that rolls and wriggles like a river swells like a silver sea sprinkled with broken diamonds, flashing with a dazzling white light that has been refracted by the slightest trace. White light of different strengths and weaknesses wriggled and reflected on the same pink and white earth, and in this colorful world like water, Mi Yong and several men carried the animal skin bag that wrapped their father like prey, and they were laughing and talking about something with each other, and at this moment, Xiao Tanzan's eyes only saw this.

They had gone so far that little Tanzan couldn't hear what they were saying.

But! What do they laugh at? What are they laughing at?? My father died, and they thought it was funny, didn't they????

The men's smiles suddenly melted in Xiao Tanzan's eyes, Xiao Tanzan's eyebrows almost stood up, and two small fists slammed against the cave wall behind him, and red blood flowed down the side of his palm.

The enraged child, not knowing how to vent his anger, suddenly ran back to the bottom of the cave, and knocked down all the three baskets of sand fruits, scattering the red fruits all over the ground, and little Tanzan trampled the sand fruits all over the ground frantically, until the ground was as scarlet as if covered with blood.

"Abba, you're back! Abba, you're back! For a seven-year-old child, he may still be immersed in the pain of losing his father, and he has no idea what kind of cruel world he will face next when his last relatives are gone.

"Zan! Zan! Don't cry! The crisp girl's cry came from far and near, and little Tanzan, who was completely caught up in his own sad world, did not hear the cry until a pair of chubby but powerful little hands grabbed him.

"Xuedan?" Little Tanzan was startled, but when he saw the chubby little girl standing behind him, who was a head taller than himself, Xiao Tanzan forcibly held back his cry, hurriedly wiped the snot and tears on his face, rubbed the hand of the little girl Xuedan, and lay on the big grass bed where his father was lying before his death, with two little hands covering his face.

"What are you doing here?" Little Tanzan snorted, and there was a cry in his voice.

"Listen to my father, your father is dead, I just want to see you." The little girl grinned, looking at the mess all over the ground, she didn't know where to stand, although the cave was full of the rich smell of sand fruit, but the visual impact was really impossible to ignore.

"Let's go, I'm fine." Little Tanzan's voice sounded cold, but the crying tone was a little less.

Tam is the same age as Xuedan, but due to long-term malnutrition, Tazan is much thinner than children of the same age, which has become a major reason why he is bullied by children of the same age. Slowly, over time, except for his father, the young Tanzan's mentality changed slightly, and he rejected almost all his peers.

"Tanzan, I know you're sad. Last year, when my grandma died, I was like you. But ......"

"I don't have an aunt!" The little girl Xuedan's words were interrupted by Tanzan, "You go, I'm annoying, very annoying!" ”

"Oh......" The chubby little girl was a little aggrieved, she turned around and walked a few steps, and suddenly remembered something, "Tanzan, I heard my Abba say that the disaster relief goods from several Dazhuang valleys in the north are about to arrive, and all the men who died in the war can get a sand rhinoceros as compensation at home, why don't I help you ask my father?" ”

"No need! Let's go! Thank you, Abba is willing to pay for my Abba coffin! ”

Little Tanzan was lying on his side on a large grass bed, with his back to Xuedan. The little girl Xuedan didn't know what to say, and when she saw that Tanzan no longer paid attention to herself, she pursed her lips and walked out of the cave shaking her head like a little adult.

It wasn't until Xue Dan left for a long time that Xiao Tanzan let out a long sigh, "Abba......"

With hunger growling, little Tanzan lay on the big grass bed that suddenly became empty, and the tears couldn't help but fall again. The bed was still the same as before, but my father really didn't have it. That is to say, from now on, no one will ever tell stories of war around them, no one will use their arms as a pillow for themselves, no one will reprimand them for being too naughty, and no one will ask them about their hunger and well-being with concern.

Tears were like jade beads with broken threads, and Xiao Tanzan cried bitterly with his hands on the thick thatch. My father's voice seemed to be still in my ears, and my father's grinning face seemed to be still in front of me. Little Tanzan cried and fumbled to take out the small package that his father had put away from his arms, and his two little hands slowly and trembled to open the package.

It was something that a little Tanzan had never seen before. It was only slightly larger than little Tanzan's thumb, and it was a perfectly round red metal piece with a golden five-pointed star inlaid in the center, and it looked like a medallion.

Tanzan didn't know what it was, and his father never mentioned what was in the package. The surface of the metal sheet seems to have a flowing luster, which looks a little greasy, but to the touch it is only the coldness of metal.

Suddenly, little Tanzan felt a cold gas spraying on his neck, little Tanzan shivered, and sat up in fright, little Tanzan looked around, at the same time, an eerie voice sounded in his ears.

"Heaven, sun, moon, earth, wind, giant, light, color, cry, lock." The eerie voice seemed to spread out in Tanzan's ears, repeating these single words over and over again as if he was chanting some incantation, and Tanzan looked around, although he could not see anything that made a sound, but this strange spell kept repeating clearly in his ears.

Over and over again, the eerie voice slowly changed from a murmur to a shocking roar, and little Tanzan's mind was extremely confused by the huge sound wave, and he felt as if he was in the middle of the heavens and the earth, and under the instigation of violent tremors and strong suffocation, the strange incantation was repeated over and over again, and the little Tanzan was so reluctant that he almost had to recite the ten strange syllables with the gloomy voice.

The entire cavern was shaking violently, and countless pools of black liquid seemed to have life, overflowing from all dark corners of the cavern, and began to converge towards the small Tanzan in the center of the large grass bed.

"Tanzan!" Xuedan's voice seemed to penetrate the whole world, it penetrated from outside the world that enveloped Tanzan, and instantly broke through all the strange sounds and visions around Tanzan, Tanzan suddenly woke up, and was shocked to find that he was clutching the round red metal tightly, and his whole body was almost soaked with sweat.

"Tanzan, what are you doing!"

(The second episode will be the love-hate battle of the small characters and the hook of the big characters, the plot is designed to be quite tortuous, and the follow-up will slowly unfold for everyone)
