Chapter 1 Carefree childhood
"Lu Ran, come on, there's another grasshopper here!" A group of children crouched in front of the grass, shouting.
"Heyβcome on!" I ran as fast as I could. "Look at me!"
I stretched out my hand to the grasshopper, and a cloud of water immediately smashed out, instantly solidified into ice, and froze the grasshopper inside. I picked it up and threw it in my bag.
"How many have you caught now?"
"It's all hundreds, we really can't catch so many without you!"
I followed the example of the old gentleman in the private school: "Where, where." β
Hahahaha...... Laughter floated in the air.
In the evening, I rushed home with the grasshopper on my back.
"Daddy, mother, Ling Ran is back!"
"Look at you, how can you catch so many grasshoppers? Spells again? "My mother blocked me.
"No ......"
"No? The bags are all wet, isn't that the ice melted and got wet?"
"I was wrong......"
Dad walked over and said slightly angrily: "How many times have I told you, it's not a good thing that you know how to spell, and one day it will hurt you!" β
"But ......"
"Lu Ran," my mother took my hand and said, "It's not that my father and mother won't let you use spells, but our red maple village is full of mortals, and you are still young, if you don't control it well and hurt someone, you will be in trouble." β
"I see, mother." I bowed my head and confessed, "Can you fry grasshoppers and eat them?" β
"Yes, little glutton." My mother pinched my nose.
On the side, my father said, "I can't let her go so easily!" β
The mother stood up: "Then don't eat it." β
Dad's face changed: "Hmph! Then I'll let you go again, little girl! β
"Thank you, Daddy." I ran away.
At night, the crickets played their flutes, and the lights came out.
"Sleep, good girl."
"My mother told me stories."
"You're seven years old, and you still let your mother sleep?"
"That's right."
The mother smiled: "Then the mother will tell you a legend of the White Republic of China." β
"According to legend, the people of the White Republic of China are as white as jade and do not eat grains ......"
"Then don't you starve to death?"
"No, children, they, eat jade."
"Jade ...... How to eat? Isn't it hard? β
"The jade leaves are soft, and if you eat them at this time, they will be sweet and crisp."
"Like ice?" I conjured up a piece of ice and stuffed it into my mouth, pouting it, it wasn't sweet.
"You, okay, I won't talk about it, the more you talk about it, the more energetic you become."
"I'm not messing around, by the way, what do they drink?"
"They will make wine with jade shavings."
"I want to drink!"
"That wine is not allowed by ordinary people, and it will be drunk for three years after drinking a liter."
"Then I won't drink it."
"But when you wake up, you can live a thousand years."
"Do you want to drink?"
The mother pondered for a while: "The longer you live, the more your relatives will leave, it's better to live a short life and leave all your hopes to the person you love the most, what do you say?" β
"Luran?"
I've slept.
The mother smiled and shook her head, took out a mahogany comb from the cabinet, and looked at it for a long time.
In the blink of an eye, I was fourteen years old. It is said that the older I get, the stronger I become, but lately I have always felt as if my heart is unstable, and I am tired and out of breath after I have not run two steps. Spells are even more afraid to be used, and every time they are used, they must sit down and rest.
"Ling Ran, do you really know how to use all the spells about water?"
"Of course!"
"Will it rain on you?"
"Rain? My mother said that the rain was the dragon king's thing......"
"So you won't!"
"I will!"
What could it be, I've never tried it before! When it rains in the sky, the dragon king sprays water directly, I can't spray water, let alone fly, but I've already said a big thing, what should I do?
By the way, I can raise the river water and sprinkle it again, isn't it "raining"!
"You've got it!" I stepped on a boulder.
I stretched out my hands in the direction of the river, grabbed it suddenly, and a water mass with a diameter of three feet flew in an instant, and I held the water mass and threw it into the sky, and my hand immediately clapped and with a "pop" sound, the water mass turned into beads and droplets, and fell. The friends were stunned.
I gasped and said triumphantly, "Look! I'll just say...... I'll ......" All of a sudden, I fainted.
Faintly, I heard them shouting, but it had nothing to do with me......
In the void, I don't know how long I walked, and suddenly, I seemed to hear the conversation between my father and mother.
"It seems that the older she is, the harder it is for her soul to stabilize." Daddy's voice.
"yes, she's not like she was a child, she can leave the comb all day." Mother's voice
"Give her the comb and take it with you."
"Okay, take it with you first. Now she is almost ready, and then she will wear a comb. β
β¦β¦
Unstable? Who? I?
Why have you never heard them talk about it?
I...... Is it me who I used to know?
If not, then I'...... And who?
β¦β¦
"Father, mother." I opened my eyes all at once.
"You're finally awake!" Daddy was pleasantly surprised.
"I want to ask ......"
I wanted to ask something, I forgot, was it just a dream that I heard in a trance? Can't remember when you wake up from a dream?
"Ask what?" Daddy.
"No, nothing."
The mother pushed her father: "Look at your aggressive appearance, the child doesn't dare to ask." β
"It's really nothing, I just had a dream...... but the dream is very real.
"Come, take this comb, and don't leave it." My mother stuffed me with a comb.
"Why?"
"Then don't leave the house anyway!" Dad looked at me, "I don't want to reassure us all day." β
"Okay, ignore your father. Anyway, you just have it. β
"Okay." I took the comb, and for a moment, an image flashed through my mind.
That picture is familiar, blood-red maple trees, blood-red rivers, and blood-covered ...... Two people.
My heart suddenly hurt as if it had been pierced, and I cried out.
"What's wrong?" My mother looked at me nervously.
"It's okay, maybe you haven't rested yet."
One day a year later, the sun was shining, the breeze was blowing, and the clouds were as light as a veil.
I'm in the same mood as this good weather, because today I'm in time.
But soon it rained in my heart, and I didn't expect that the process would be so cumbersome.
But soon, too, the ceremony ended.
After thanking everyone, I happily announced: "The little girl Mo Lingran has made a gift, thank ......"
"It's her, it's her!" A group of officers and soldiers broke in! The leader is a gangster in the village, Li Buxiao.
"What are you doing!" Daddy stood up.
"Leave him alone, take someone away!" Li Buxiao shouted.
They immediately surrounded me and clung to me.
"What did I do wrong?"
Li Buxiao leaned into his face: "There is nothing wrong, this is to bring you glory and wealth." It is also a long face for the red maple village and even the entire red maple mountain. β
"Impossible! Let me go! β
"Let go of my daughter!" My mother rushed up and was about to rob me.
"Do you dare to disobey?" Li Buxiao roared, "Disobedient, behead!" β
The group of officers and soldiers immediately drew their knives and stabbed at their mother!
"Mother-"
The mother fell straight down, blood gushing out, and her abdomen was red.
"You wicked dogs, let me go! Let me go! Mother - Mother ......"
"Lao Tzu fought with you!" Dad rushed out with a kitchen knife, and the villagers also found axes, sickles, etc., and blocked the door of the house.
Li Buxiao said: "Tut-tut, what are you doing here, what are you doing!" β
"I take Ling Ran to enjoy the ......"
"Nonsense!" A villager said, "Ling Ran is our Ling Ran, if you want to take it, you will step over our heads!" β
"That's it, it's ......"
"You know what, huh?"
"Our capital has suffered from drought, and the saint asks people everywhere for rain, no, we will be cloudy and rainy, otherwise I won't invite ......."
"Phew! You're calling it a catch! β
"Li Buxiao, you want to be shameless, Ling Ran is so small, how can you know how to ......"
"I'll fight!" Li Buxiao knocked the man over, "Didn't it rain last year?" β
"I remember, which kid instigated it?" Li Buxiao turned to the person, "It's you?" Come, tell me, will she do the rain? β
He glared and did not answer.
"Hey-you don't say it!" Li Buxiao came up and made a gesture to fight.
"I said."
"I said that Ling Ran will not make clouds and rain! All I know is that Ling Ran fainted that day. I only know that if you don't die today, you will die in the future! β
"Shut up!"
"I'm going to say! Ling Ran is talented, and the villagers know it. Because of his simple mind and special care for her, he didn't dare to spread it at all. And you, Li Buxiao! β
"A gangster, the village raised you, not only is you not grateful, but you persecute your fellow clansmen. You're a leech, a flea, a moth! β
"Folks, today, we killed this pest!" Daddy shouted.
"Okayβ" The villagers rushed up.
Seeing this, the officers and soldiers put me aside, immediately drew their knives, and confronted the villagers, who were their opponents, and in a short time they were covered in bruises.
"Li Buxiao, let them stop!" I grabbed Li Buxiao's sleeve.
He shook me off: "That's not good, as soon as this soldier stops, won't my life be guaranteed?" Am I stupid? β
Hearing this, I kicked over the hot teapot and the water spilled.
Li Buxiao smiled and said, "Yo yo, this is ......"
He couldn't laugh anymore for a moment. Because the hot water that had been spilled had not yet hit the ground, it was hung over his head.
"Lu Ran, don't make a fuss, this is hot water, it will burn people to death."
"Are you shouting or not to stop?"
"Shout and shout, shout, shout......" Li Buxiao shrank his neck and shouted at those officers and soldiers: "Stop, stop!" β
The scene was instantly silent.
"Lu Ran? Okay, let's get the water out. β
"Nature." I collected the water.
As he patted his chest and rejoiced, I poured hot water straight into his face!
"Ahh
I shouted at the officers and soldiers, "You all see clearly? If you don't leave, this is what will happen to you! β
The officers and men looked at each other, and then fled with their weapons.
The villagers glared at Li Buxiao and surrounded him......
"Mother, mother......" I ran to my mother.
Daddy was holding his mother's, cold corpse in a dejected manner......
The next night
"Someoneβ"
"Killβ"
I quickly got dressed and found my dad standing in the doorway with a knife.
"Dad, what's wrong?"
"I'm afraid I'm going to slaughter the village."
"Tucun? Daddy, you hide. β
"What I'm hiding, you go, you go and hide, hurry!"
"Dad, the person they want is me, as long as I go out, the villagers can live!"
"Silly boy, none of us will survive except you."
"I don't believe it!" I broke down the door.
"Come back!"
"Hey, I'm here!" I yelled.
Immediately, I was surrounded by officers and soldiers.
I said to a man who looked like an official, "Officials, I will go with you, let them go, and never come again!" β
"Okay, little girl." The man stroked his beard, "Let's go." β
But I had barely walked ten steps when the sound of burning came from behind me.
I stopped and glared at the officer: "You broke your word and got fat!" β
"Hahaha...... Girl, the emperor's order to slaughter the village, I want to calm things down, it's useless. β
In the distance, the father rushed up desperately: "Let go of my daughter!" β
"Dad, don't come here!"
Before the words could be spoken, my father had already died under the swords of the officers and soldiers.
"Female ...... ...... children"
The moon was obscured by dark clouds, the sky was getting darker and darker, and the cold wind blew, mixed with blood, with burning and mourning......
The body is cold, and the heart is even cooler.
Stumps and broken arms, scimitars and swords, millions of corpses, and blood can be bleached......
Why, I promised them, but they slaughtered my whole village.
Why, I should have believed my father, but I went out self-righteously.
Why, good people are not rewarded, and evil people are more and more rampant every time......
Why, why, why!
Because of the Son of Heaven!
If the upward movement is not correct, the downward movement will be crooked. The Son of Heaven has no way, and the wicked are rampant!
Before, I was in paradise; Now, I'm in the red dust.
I, vow revenge!
