"The way forward, you have to go by yourself." Mother said with a smile, dissipating into smoke in the blazing firelight.

For a long time, Guo Blind, Li Fugui, Snake Niangniang and others knew that their mother died more than 20 years ago, perhaps because they were afraid of Yang Sanqian's unpredictable methods, or because of their mother's kindness, so they kept their mother alive and quiet in Futu Ridge and never hurt her.

The villagers of Futuling thought that the strange man Yang Sanqian had saved his mother at the last moment, and no one could have imagined that a dead man would still be alive.

She doesn't need to suck people's yang energy, for more than 20 years, like an ordinary country woman, she cares about firewood, rice, oil and salt, and cooks for me.

I don't know if she can kill people with her own ghost qi like Zhou Manman, but she has never harmed anyone.

I think back to when I was very young, I was angry when I heard her gossiped, and I remembered the irrepressible urge to kill when she was bullied by thugs selling vegetables on the street.

And all these years when I was not with her, her loneliness, or her fear.

She wants to infect me with a peaceful mind, teach me goodness, and cross my light.

Even her own death did not want me to have any resentment.

But she was wrong.

I have seen the warmth and coldness of the outside world, the humanity and ignorance of thousands of villagers in Futuling, the intrigues and intrigues of Guo Blind, and the ruthlessness of Li Fugui.

and the old lady and the old Xiucai, while being admired, will also make mistakes that ordinary people will make.

My mother's forbearance and slaughter brought me the pain and nothingness brought to me by the absence of bones.

It will only make me more disheartened, because people are good and are bullied, which is a wise saying handed down by our ancestors.

Several twenty or thirty-meter-long snakes quickly crawled towards me from the mountain, opened their mouths and roared at me, driving me away.

"Don't mess with me." With red eyes, I looked at the serpent with a fierce eye.

The serpent seemed to be provoked by my words, and pounced on me with its bloody mouth open.

"I said, no, want, provoke, me!"

I yelled at the serpent, my eyes turned completely black, and the black secret text on my arms tightened me and suffocated me.

Several large snakes immediately shattered into a blood mist, and a wave of dark aura took me as the origin and swung out in all directions.

The mountains were turned into powder, the giant trees were torn apart by invisible forces, and the sand and gravel on the ground were scattered.

Guo Blind behind him supported Guo Huaiyi on his back with one hand, and protected him with the other hand, his body was full of qi and tried his best to resist.

He looked horrified at my back, shrouded in darkness in utter rage, his brow furrowed, and the corners of his mouth furrowed.

I turned around, the secret text on the surface of my body retracted, seeping into the cortex, and the black light in my eyes became clear, and I walked towards the road to the county seat, not knowing what the future holds.

Guo Blind laughed and said, "No matter where you go, one day you will enter the Dao Gate, Yang Hao, I can't wait to see you set off a bloody storm one day in the future." ”

Guo's laughter and words echoed in my mind like a curse, but my heart was more sad and angry.

I am not my mother's biological son.

I finally started thinking about the ridiculous-sounding question, who am I?

Where did I come from, who was my biological mother, why was I sent to Futu Ridge by Yang Sanqian, why did Yang Sanqian abandon me again, and where was the Daomen? And so on and so forth, and so on and so forth, haunted my mind and made me feel physically and mentally exhausted.

When I lay on the bed in a hotel in the county town, I watched the sky outside the window turn from white to black, and the noisy traffic of the night turned hazy and silent, I realized that Futuling was gone, my mother was gone, and my home was gone.

I suddenly remembered the girl named Zhou Manman, who wanted to find a way to reshape her body as the big black cat moved away from Futu Ridge, and she said that one day maybe we would meet again.

Where is she now?

The world is big, but my heart is small.

I don't know where the blind man Guo went with Guo Huaiyi, and it was noon the next day when he woke up.

The people in the county town are still living a busy life, and it seems that the matter in Futuling has not attracted anyone's attention.

Even if many people died, the interruption of communication and the news blockade of the army could not make the news of this death go out of the way, and it was like a haunted barren mountain in the eyes of outsiders.

Now it's really a barren mountain.

The mysterious and strange Futu Ridge, everyone disappeared mysteriously overnight.

I took out my mobile phone to call Huzi, but his number has been shown to be empty, some of the classmates I met in the early years of studying in the county town are not very good, I haven't been in touch with each other for several years in college, and now I don't know who to look for, let alone where to go.

I inquired in the county for a long time, but no one knew about the army coming in the county, let alone Li Fugui and Huzi.

In the evening, as I walked to the train station, I saw that my phone was about to run out of battery, so I dialed another number on my phone.

After the phone was connected, the other party first confirmed my identity, and then there was a burst of scolding: "You only fucking called me until now, and you didn't reply to many messages, where did you die?" ”

I said, "Little Wu, I'll go to you tomorrow, my house is gone." ”

"What? Where are you now and when will you arrive? ”

"Tomorrow at five o'clock in the afternoon, Anseong train station."

"You ......"

Xiao Wu's voice on the other end of the phone stopped abruptly, the phone was out of battery, and I went to the ticket hall to buy a train ticket to Anseong tonight.

I haven't mentioned my university for a long time, but my university is in Anseong, and the school is built on a hill and has a strong humanistic environment, so it is reasonable to say that it is not a first-class university.

The school is huge, and there are places of entertainment for students both on and off campus. As the ancient capital of the Sixteen Dynasties, Anseong has many mountains, but the surrounding transportation is very convenient, and there is no shortage of rich people here.

So when I arrived in Anseong from the small place of Butu Ridge, I just felt that I didn't fit in here.

I didn't seem to have done anything else in my four years of college except to study, whether it was playing games, singing K, bars, or even dining in the same dormitory, I rarely attended, to put it bluntly, I was very unsociable.

I only had one friend in college, named Lu Xiaowu.

Xiao Wu is my best friend, he was suddenly transferred to the class in my sophomore year, he is a fat man, and he is a rich and delicate fat man, he said that his father's name is Lu Million, he made a fortune by digging coal mines, and I also know that he has changed girlfriends one after another, and I don't know anything else.

In the three years of his career at the same table, Xiao Wu spent half of his time sleeping, and the other half of his time was skipping class, sometimes not returning to the dormitory for three or five days in a row, and never said when asked where he had gone.

I'm already an alternative at school, but in fact, Xiao Wu is more alternative, he never takes exams, and he hardly cares about anyone, and he looks at others completely like he is on top, and people like him can walk in school without being beaten This is something I've always wondered.

I don't know how a boy like him would want to be friends with a poor guy like me, my initial friendship with him was not because of playing ball, let alone reading in the library, but because of a little movie in class.

Shortly after he was transferred to the class, he sat in the last row, next to me, and for the first two days he pretended to be in class, and then he was lying under his desk and watching movies openly for a few days.

That day, I don't know if his phone was poisoned or the volume button was broken, but the woman's voice came out when he plugged in the headphones, and he immediately stuffed the phone in my hand without blushing and heartbeat, and looked at me with a surprised face like the whole class, showing a look of contempt and schadenfreude, watching me being kicked out by the teacher.

However, he is a very righteous person, and in many ways he is quite like Huzi, he is a lot more clever and naughty than Huzi, and he is more optimistic.

As soon as I got out of the station after I arrived in Anseong, I saw Xiao Wu waving to me in the crowd, wearing sunglasses, and shouting my name at the top of his voice. After I got into the car with him, he could see that I was in a bad mood and took me to his house for some dinner.

I roughly told Xiao Wu about Futuling, he didn't believe it or say no, he listened to me talk about my mother's absence and put away his face, drank some wine with me, and said that he would take me out for a walk at night.

I saw a figure walking around in a daze, and I heard the sound of someone talking, I wanted to call Xiao Wu, but I don't know if I was drunk or too tired, I couldn't wake up.

By the time I woke up, it was 11 p.m., and I was lying on the couch with my mind blank.

I got up from the sofa and accidentally knocked over the cup on the coffee table, only to find that Xiao Wu was squatting next to him playing games, and he saw that I was awake and said: "I thought you were going to sleep until tomorrow morning, since you woke up, wash your face and prepare to go out!" ”

I didn't like the glamour of entertainment venues, so Xiao Wu dragged me into the car and drove straight to a bar near our university, and I realized that his house was so close to the school. I wasn't familiar with the roads in Anseong, and I had hardly been anywhere except in the surrounding area during my four years of college, so I didn't know that the school was nearby when Xiao Wu picked me up from the station to his house.

And the bar that Xiao Wu brought me to was the same bar where I was working part-time at school.

The men and women in the neon glare are so brightly dressed, I sat in the bar booth in Xiao Wu's slightly loose clothes, and a few hot and revealing women around me kept teasing, maybe it was a personality problem, I was not used to such a scene.

Moreover, the matter of Futuling has always been lingering in my mind and lingering.

Xiao Wu talked and laughed, kissing the wine girl next to me while drinking, I was afraid of ruining his fun, so I kept drinking on the side.

At this moment, I suddenly felt a sense of panic in my heart of being watched, which was very strange, like walking alone on the way home in the dark and feeling that something was following me.

I looked behind me, and there was no one else except for a few strange young people who were drinking and chatting.

I turned around, perhaps because of the recent events that made me feel uncomfortable for a while and hallucinated, and in the months when I returned to Futuling, I was frightened every night, and I saw the methods of Guo Blind and the horror of the snake lady, maybe there was a shadow in my heart.

But after a while, that feeling hit me again.

I closed my eyes, trying to get rid of the distracting thoughts that came to my mind, Xiao Wu patted my face and said, "Haozi, what's wrong with you, how much sweat you are sweating?" ”

I said, "It's nothing, maybe a little tired, you play yours." ”

"Alright, I'll go out and make a call and I'll be back later." Xiao Wu stood up as he spoke, and he beckoned to the girl who accompanied him and said, "Serve my brother well, otherwise my brother will have you to feel better." ”

"Got it, Little Fifth Young Master." These women waved their hands to Xiao Wu with a coquettish expression and said.

After Xiao Wu left, these women gathered around me and put their hands together, exhaling like an orchid, and I said coldly: "Go away, thank you." ”

"Yo, don't be so cold, handsome guy, just be happy when you come out to play." A woman said and touched a part of me.

"Get out!" I roared.

The people who were drinking and having fun around me all looked at me, and several women around me saw that my face was not good-looking, so they immediately stood up and pouted and left, and one woman snorted and said, "A dead pervert." ”

And the panic of being watched was still there, and I looked back behind me, and a young man stood up and pointed at me and said, "What the are you looking at?" ”

I ignored it, took a deep breath, drank most of the bottle in front of me, and got up and walked towards the bathroom at the bar.

A group of young people behind him also stood up, and one of them said locally: "Brother, is this a provocation?" ”
