I only hoped to get an answer from Lingling's mouth, but after asking a few times, Lingling would only babble and shout, occasionally popping up the title "Zixin".

I was a little disappointed, but looking at Lingling's delicate face, which didn't seem to be tainted with a trace of earthly breath, I suddenly felt that there was something unusual in her eyes, her gaze. The child's eyes are the cleanest, clean like a flowing spring, but there seems to be a trace of incomprehensible breath hidden in the gaze of the spirit. Is this child really the child of an ordinary herdsman's family? The wolves around them had retreated with the wolf, and they quickly disappeared into the darkness, not afraid of me, but of the spirits.

"Babbling Zi Xin" Ling Ling was very happy, as if she had forgotten everything when she was attacked by the wolves just now, her little hand brushed past my face, and her voice became slurred, but I could still vaguely hear the name Zi Xin.

This is not the first time I have heard this name, the crisis has passed, but my heart is heavier, sad, and painful. As soon as I heard the childish words, I couldn't help but recall the heartbreaking murmurs I heard on the banks of the Rift Valley Glacier.

Is that so? Is that so? I asked myself over and over again. The figure in the ice on the bank of the rift valley glacier completely dissipated when I arrived, and the other party shouted the title Zixin, with deep attachment and unwillingness to leave, and the spirit on the plateau grassland was born after a short time, shouting the title Zixin to the world. I'm not a devout Buddhist, but it's no accident that I have to associate them.

The wolves retreated, and the herders who had survived were scattered and returned to the campsite from all directions to pick up the pieces. Someone died, someone was wounded, and the old shepherd's face was full of grief, and his grandson had been bitten to death in the previous raid. It was supposed to be good to go on their own roads after dawn, but when something happened, the old shepherd led the body of the deceased and walked home from here. I put Lianniang and Lingling and another child on the camel and set off immediately. Lingling babbled for a while, probably tired, and fell into a deep sleep. I thought, I need to be a little more patient, raise her well, and one day, she will say what she needs to say.

I walked slowly all night, and by dawn the next day, the two children woke up before and after, and we boiled water to eat, but when I picked up Lingling again, I found that her eyes were suddenly different from yesterday, and they became chaotic and dazed, as if a person suddenly knew nothing. She had always been kind and affectionate to me, but at this moment, she looked at me with a look of obvious confusion and strangeness.

"Babble" Lingling looked at me, turned her gaze, and inadvertently, she saw the two words on the palm of her right hand that seemed to be deeply imprinted in the flesh and blood, her originally blank eyes suddenly brightened, and she looked up at me again, grinned, and said vaguely: "Zixin"

My heart sank, I realized something, but I was not completely sure, so I could only wait patiently, and after a long day's journey, in the evening, I still settled down to eat and rest as I had yesterday. After all, Lingling was a young child, tired after a day of playing, and slept soundly, she slept all night, and when she woke up the next day, I deliberately observed her actions. Her eyes were dazed again, as if she had forgotten everything, and even I couldn't recognize it.

But when she saw the two words on the palm of her right hand, her eyes immediately lit up again, and she would smile at me, and she would babble with the title Zixin.

She seemed happy and carefree, but when I looked at her immature smile that was spotlessly pure, my suspicions were confirmed. As long as this child sleeps once, she will forget everything completely, no wonder since she was born, there are two words printed on the palms of her hands, only when she sees the words on the palms, she can recall some things, recall the person "Zixin".

She's still young and probably doesn't experience much, but one day she'll grow up, and what would it mean if one only had one day's memory? She may be confused, she may be depressed, she may be miserable, but when I think about her, and then I think about myself, I believe what my grandfather said to me a long time ago, as if he was chattering.

Fate is predestined, maybe a person's fate is completely fixed from the moment he is born, and the road he wants to take has been faintly paved at the time of birth.

We continued in a southeasterly direction, towards where the big river beach was. Away from the holy area, and out of the vast no-man's land, the danger is basically non-existent, the rest of the journey is quite smooth, we returned to the big river beach without danger. When I smell the air with the smell of the river, a kind of intimate feeling arises spontaneously, being in the homeland, not knowing the homeland, only people who travel far away can experience the hometown of a grass and a tree, are nostalgic. We didn't make any publicity, and when we arrived at the big river beach, we quietly came to the place where Saihuatuo and the others lived.

When we arrived, Dad and Pang Gouzi happened to be there, and they chatted at that time. Lianniang is a strange face, as soon as Saihuatuo saw her, he couldn't take his eyes off, and he circled around Lianniang, making excuses to set it closely, once or twice It was nothing, Lao Fuba frowned beside him and endured it, but the number of times made him unbearable.

"Old Sai! What's the fuss! Lao Fuba grabbed Saihuatuo's arm, pushed it to the side, and muttered with extreme dissatisfaction: "This is mine, do you understand, me!" ”

"Treasure medicine, treasure medicine." Sai Hua Tuo snorted, the old goods have been practicing medicine all his life, and he has seen a lot of strange spiritual treasure medicines, as soon as he saw Lian Niang, he knew that this was an extremely rare artifact, and then told us, I was suddenly excited, Sai Hua Tuo said, with this treasure medicine, the old ghost may really wake up. Lao Fuba saw us muttering, and was suspicious, so he protected Lianniang at that time and was very wary of us.

"Old thing, don't be so stingy, and don't want anyone's life." Sai Huatuo hurriedly explained: "Pull two petals from your girl's body." ”

Lao Fuba protected the lotus mother tightly, but as soon as he heard that it was to save the life of the old ghost, he went to discuss with the lotus mother, and finally got two petals of the Buddha seat snow lotus. The medicine was dispensed very smoothly, and we watched the old ghost take it and waited outside the house.

Among these people, after all, they are still the closest to their father, and during the waiting period, they told him in detail about the various experiences in the middle of this westward journey, and it can be seen that their father is very relieved and emotional. I've been around for more than a year and I've grown a lot. We talked about Lingling again, and when I mentioned her, I always had an indescribable feeling in my heart.

"Child, there are some things that I don't know if I should tell you or not." After listening to my story, my father hesitated, looked at me and said, "In the past, you were still young, and your father told you more than once since you were born, and these things can't be told to you casually." But now, you are really big, you have to pick the pillars of the seven gates, and you have to take the people of our seven gates to do what the ancestors have not done. I thought about it, when you grow up, you should no longer hide these things, and you have to tell you what you should know. ”

"Dad, if you have anything to say, can't you tell me clearly?" I could hear that my father was trying to say something, and along the way, he obviously felt that I was mature and strong, and I was no longer as ignorant and at the mercy of others as in the past.

"I don't know what to say." Dad may not know where to start for a while, it is estimated that it is all old things, messy and clueless, he thought alone for a while, and the spirit in his arms pulled my face with his hand, babbling and shouting mixed with vague syllables, Dad's eyes moved, and said to me: "You said that this child can speak when he is born, you may not know, when you were just born, you also spoke." ”

"What did I say!?" As soon as I heard it, I was surprised, the mark behind the frontal bone has not been fully awakened until now, and many things in myself are mysteries, and I can't find the person who can awaken the mark for a while, so I can only start from the details to find the answer. What happened when I was born? Twenty years have passed, and now it may seem very, very important.

Seventh Grandma said that the night I was born, it was very unpeaceful, there was a strong wind that I hadn't seen for many years, and it rained a heavy rain that I hadn't seen for many years, but before I was born, Seventh Grandma was stunned by thunder, and many details were not clear, which made me very sorry, I also asked about this when I saw my grandfather, but Grandpa didn't say anything. Now chatting with my father, I finally found an opportunity, when I was born, my father happened to be there, these things, he may know.

"Dad, what happened when I was born?"

Dad's story is similar to that of the seventh grandmother, before the birth, the storm suddenly fell, the seventh grandmother delivered the baby in the house, and the father and grandfather were outside guarding the doors and windows washed by the wind and rain. Later, the roof of the house leaked, and the seventh grandmother was stunned by the thunder, and exclaimed before fainting, in that case, it was inconvenient for grandpa to enter the house, but my father couldn't help it, he happened to be standing by the window at that time, and he was in a hurry, and jumped in through the window.

"Dad, the seventh grandmother in the village told me privately at the time that when I was born, she saw a pair of heavy eyes outside the cracked roof, isn't that so?"

"I didn't see the eyes." Dad shook his head and sighed softly, as if he was suddenly infected by the tense and weird atmosphere of the year, his eyes shrank suddenly, and said, "When I entered the house, I happened to see a person on the roof with blood dripping from his mouth, and he was trying to climb into the house. ”
