Chapter 22, the past of the song
There weren't many Snake Clansmen on the streets, only a few were running in the rain and were anxious to go back like Lige's mother, and most of the others were hiding in front of the shops on both sides of the road to take shelter from the rain.
Ziyu is soul state, and she didn't feel much of the rain falling to the ground through her soul body, but she couldn't help but feel a little distressed when she watched Lige's mother run in the rain, and she had to carefully protect the basket: "Why didn't she go to the shop to take shelter from the rain?" Isn't Lige already dyed blue, and she is hidden in a basket, and she may not be found out even if she stays in the shop for a day. ”
"She is a snake clan, and she is not afraid of the rain, but this time she braved the rain and returned a little uncomfortable except for getting her clothes wet, but there is nothing else." Ji Liuhuo glanced at the crowd gathered under the eaves to take shelter from the rain, and speculated: "There are many people here, it is inevitable that no one will notice the strangeness of this basket, maybe going back earlier is indeed the safest choice for Yu Lige." ”
Just when Lige's mother was running on the street, a girl in a hurry suddenly appeared out of nowhere. The girl ran towards Lige's mother, and the next second she collided with Lige's mother and fell to the ground.
Lige's mother was not prepared, and she was knocked to the ground by slippery roads in wet water, and the bamboo basket flew out of her hand under the force, spinning in mid-air and drawing an arc straight to the ground, while Lige fell out of the basket in mid-air due to the instability of her center of gravity.
Hui Xun saw Lige fall out and hurriedly rushed over to catch it, but he was in a state of wandering, so he could only watch Lige pass through his hand and fall into a pool of stagnant water on the ground.
Before Lige was dizzy and dizzy, Lige's mother quickly got up from the ground, ignoring her bleeding knees, and hurriedly wanted to cover up the crimson Lige who had been washed away by the rain.
It's just that she was a step too late, and the girl had already seen the crimson snake in the stagnant water, and she screamed in fright, causing the people on both sides to look at the rain together.
The crowd began to become extremely flustered after seeing the song, they wanted to step forward but didn't dare, so they had to push and shove in place, their faces panicked and discussed, I don't know who was the first to say: "Let's go find the patriarch."
This sentence was echoed by everyone, and they didn't care whether it was raining or not, leaving some people to watch Lige and Lige's mother, and the rest rushed to the other side of the road in groups.
As early as when the group of people looked at Lige, Lige's mother's face looked strange and satisfied, but in the end it was replaced by a faint smile, her smile was gentle and quiet, with a view of death.
Zi Yu suddenly had an ominous premonition in her heart.
I saw Lige's mother sitting on the wet street, and she didn't care about the rain falling on her, she just stretched out her hand and laboriously scooped up the bamboo basket that fell on the side and put it upside down on her lap, and then carefully covered the cloth used to cover the basket before, covering the thin holes at the bottom of the basket.
After doing this, Lige's mother released Lige from her sleeve, placed herself under the basket, and carefully caressed Lige, her eyes were full of love, but the words she said were extremely cruel.
She said, "You know, Li'er, I actually wanted to kill you when you were born. You were born crimson, with an unknown symbol, which made me feel that your appearance was a mistake and the biggest failure of my snake life. Do you know why I don't dare let people know about your existence? Not only is I afraid that you will be killed by my people, but I am also afraid that my people will point out and laugh at me behind my back, 'Look, she is the mother of the scarlet scourge', so I would rather bear the name of Kefu and Kezi than let them know that there is you." ”
"However, I am reluctant to kill you, you are his only blood in this world, the only child of me and him, and the life I have been looking forward to for so long. You just broke out of your shell, so small and so small, sleeping quietly on my lap, breathing gently and shallowly, and suddenly my heart softened. ”
"Since I was a child, you have been sensible and hardworking, and you will not do anything I am not allowed. I want you to cultivate your human form as soon as possible, you will cultivate desperately, you will be a fine at the age of 100, and you will be a monster at the age of 400, your talent is so high, you are better than any of your peers in the clan, you have always been my pride, but I dare not let anyone know. Because you were born crimson, you will never be accepted by your people, they will only be afraid of you and will only want to kill you. ”
"It's been four hundred years, and this day has finally come. Li'er, don't hate your mother, maybe it's the best choice for you to leave here. Haven't you always wanted to see the outside world? Don't you yearn for those buzz the most? You said you were able to leave home, so why did you have to go back? Why do you want to continue to live those days when you don't see the light of day? ”
She caressed the little snake that was sleeping a little bit on her lap, the little snake that was not attacked by a little wind and rain because of the shelter of the bamboo basket, and her face seemed to be sad and happy: "Leave the child, forget your mother, forget everything about your mother, from now on, you are just an orphan, an orphan without a father, mother, relatives, friends, and support." ”
Lige's mother raised her head slightly, and suddenly there was countless hatred in her eyes, and she swept over the Fei Spirit Snake clan who were talking around her, but never dared to approach, with a mocking face.
She said, "What a group of gentle-hearted Filip Snake people, don't you think you are funny and ridiculous now! You are loving, but you are not willing to love a little serpent who is gifted; You are tolerant, but you cannot tolerate a foreign race that has never done any wrong. You can't tolerate my parting song, just because she was born crimson! Even if she doesn't bring you ominous, you have to kill her as soon as possible! ”
The crowd was silent when they heard this, although some felt ashamed and flinched slightly, but more wanted to refute the debate about right and wrong.
But the world is not black and white, and there is not so much right or wrong. Some are nothing but the scheming of a poor mother, and a passage of words used to confuse the public and loosen the minds of the people.
And the mother did achieve her goal, so in the next second, she suddenly turned into her true form, lowered her head and bit the bamboo basket containing the song, and rushed towards the mouth where there were few people like crazy.
Because everyone was attracted most of their attention by Lige's mother's words at that time, they didn't even react when Lige's mother turned into a snake and fled. And by the time they reacted, they had already run a long distance away from Mother Song.
They hurriedly shouted and chased after them, but they were not as fast as the snake, and they did not dare to change into their original form because of the clan rules, so they had to watch as the distance between Mother Song and them became farther and farther away.
Because Ziyu, Ji Liuhuo and Hui Xun were in the soul path of Lige, they didn't have too much effort to catch up with Lige's mother, who was running frantically. It's just that Ji Liuhuo, who had been following all the way, suddenly frowned and said, "It's here."
Zi Yu was stunned and just wanted to ask what was coming, but when she turned around, she saw several green shadows chasing after her mother at a very fast speed, and in a blink of an eye, she was about to touch her tail.
Zi Yu was anxious for a while, at this time, Lige's mother had already arrived at the junction between the Fei Ling Snake Clan and the outside world, as long as she crossed that barrier, she could escape, and those Qingying who caught up with her would definitely not dare to chase out easily because of the clan rules of the Fei Ling Snake Clan, and maybe they would be safe at that time.
A green shadow jumped past Zi Yu's side, and in the next moment, it had turned into a man with a long sword in his hand, and the sword stabbed directly towards the bamboo basket.
On the side, Hui Xun hurriedly tried to block it, but the sword stabbed directly through Hui Xun. Lige's mother's eyes froze, and she immediately threw the bamboo basket out of the barrier: "Take her away!"
When it was too late, a red light suddenly flashed out from the mouth of the barrier, flew towards the bamboo basket, and disappeared from everyone's sight with the bamboo basket in an instant.
The last thing that fell into Zi Yu's eyes was several long swords that pierced deep into Lige's mother's seven inches, and the blood gushing out fell on the barrier, blooming gorgeous flowers.
and the last look of Lige's mother, with relief and reluctance, seemed to fall lightly outside the barrier, and seemed to have landed far, far away.
Zi Yu wanted to walk over, wanted to rescue the turquoise snake demon, but couldn't get out of the white circle on the soles of her feet.
The aperture expanded little by little, swallowing up the rainy path, the screen of blood falling and blooming, and the snake demon who closed his eyes and lost his breath, with a relieved face, disappeared together with the snake demon's last very light sigh.
This is the first time Ziyu has watched a life being wiped out, and it was a little unbearable for a while, and her legs were weak and she was about to fall. It was Ji Liuhuo who stretched out his hand to support her, and whispered beside her: "The barrier set up by the snake demon clan is the weakest in rainy days. Generally, people who want to escape will choose this time. ”
Ji Liuhuo seemed to be still saying something, but Ziyu couldn't hear it clearly, and all she could think about was the words that Lige's mother sighed softly.
That was the last sentence of Lige's mother before her death. She said, "Li'er, may my death be exchanged for your eternal freedom from now on."
When she said this, there were several green shadows beside her, there were people from the Fei Spirit Snake Clan who rushed over when they heard the sound, and there were three wandering spirits that did not belong here, Zi Yu, Ji Liuhuo and Hui Xun. They all witnessed the death of Lige's mother, and they all heard this sentence, but the one who should have heard this sentence the most had already been sent to a distant place by her.
After coming out of the second soul path, Zi Yu's mood has been a little low, and she quietly followed Ji Liuhuo and Hui Xun towards the point of light along the way, without saying a word.
The location of the third stage of the soul path is a dark and deep cave, the cave is damp and shady, but the deepest part is like a human bedroom, there are stone beds, tables and chairs, quilts, dishes and chopsticks, and candles are lit on the stone wall on the side.
"This is the cave where I first met Ah Li." Hui Xun looked a little excited: "Could it be that the third soul path is my first acquaintance with Ah Li?"
