Chapter 7: Famine

"Who? who is talking?" Shi Lei took a step back in fright, did not stand firmly, fell to the ground, and looked ahead with two eyes in fear.

Anyone in such an environment will be frightened if such a sentence suddenly comes from the surroundings. It is very likely that the timid fainted directly.

A slight stream of air continued to blow out of the cave, "Who am I? How many years have passed, I have almost forgotten who I am." “

This time Shi Lei heard it clearly, this voice was exactly the same as the voice he heard for the first time in the hall of dreams a few days ago.

Isn't this the purpose of my own here, my heart calmed down a little, I stood up again, and asked, "Are you talking to me from the chair of the main hall in my dream?"

"In a dream? An meaningful smile came from the old voice, "That's not a dream, it's real." “

"Real?" Shi Lei's hair was a little messy, and he felt that his worldview was slowly collapsing.

"Boy, you should have come back a long time ago, come in, I'll tell you what you want to know. “

Shi Lei hesitated, since he came here, he had to figure it out. Slowly approaching the cave.

The cave is not big, only a dozen square meters in circumference. At the bottom of the cave is a small jade-colored stone bed, which is just right for an adult to lie down.

There was no other life in sight in the cave, let alone the person who made the sound.

"Child, don't look for me, you can't see me. You can call me a desolate. “

"Wild?" Shi Lei unconsciously whispered, "Then are you a mountain god?"

"Mountain God?" Ara's tone was stunned for a moment, and then he spoke, "According to the understanding of this world, you can also understand it in the same way. “

"So what am I doing here?"

"You were born here, you belong here, and of course you have to come back here. “

Shi Lei remembered that a few days ago, his father told him what happened here, it was so absurd and magical, it was true, and he couldn't help but wonder what he was.

"You won't tell me that I'm actually your child, not my parents. “

"No, your body and your blood are from your own parents, but your soul does not belong to this world, but to this place. “

Hearing this, Shi Lei was even more puzzled, and did not continue to ask, but quietly waited for the following.

Only a moment later, the old voice rang out. It's just that the tone is more vicissitudes, and there is a deep nostalgia hidden in it.

"Your soul is a gift from me, but it is not mine, I can only tell you this, and you cannot know the rest. When the time comes, you'll know everything. As for coming back here, it's because you need to go back to the original world. “

"Then why do you still give me a soul and let me come back after so many years. “

"Hey," the voice sighed deeply, "All I have given is a soul that has died, and it needs to be resurrected, and it needs to have a new memory to grow again." I am very happy that after so many years, there is finally a person who has been given a soul who has lived until now. “

Hearing this, Shi Lei probably understood the cause and effect of the matter, this is the answer he wants to find, so magical and dramatic.

He was more just absurd in his heart, how could he have such an absurd origin as an ordinary person since he was a child, but thinking of his father and Yu Xin, he couldn't help but shake his head.

"Even if everything you say is true, what if I say I don't want to go back to the world you said it was. “

As soon as the words fell, the air in the cave instantly froze, and even all the travelers in the entire Taishan Mountain Range could feel a kind of oppressive atmosphere.

And Shi Lei was even more out of breath, but he stood up straight without admitting defeat, his chest rose and fell violently, and he kept taking a deep breath of the air in front of him. For the first time, I deeply felt the terrifying power of the person in front of me who didn't know where he was.

The scene fell silent for a while, and no one spoke again.

In Shi Lei's feeling, time is like years, and every second is unbearable.

In the end, it was the voice that came from the absurdity, and the tone was devoid of the previous depth, as if it had lost a kind of strength and vitality.

"Child, I won't force you, you are already a new soul, a new life. You can have your own choice, and I respect your choice. Let's go. “

The words fell, I don't know why, Shi Lei had a feeling of wanting to cry, the deep feelings in his tone and the despair behind it, as if directly impacting his soul.

He hesitated, then turned and walked out of the cave. Even if this desolation has great kindness to himself, his father can't do without him, and he has no choice.

"When my dad can take care of himself, I will come to this place again and repay this kindness. “

The words sounded in Shi Lei's heart, but the last foot before stepping out of the cave did not fall, but his eyes lit up, and then he retracted his right foot, stood still and turned around.

"Wasted senior, my dad is paralyzed now, is there any way you can cure him. If he recovers, I'm willing to follow your arrangement. “

After speaking, he looked around the cave with expectant eyes.

Ara's voice was a little excited, "Paralyzed, is there anything wrong with his soul?"

Shi Lei really didn't know what the soul in his mouth specifically meant, but thinking that his father was sane without any problem, he slowly shook his head, "There should be no problem." “

"Then you go out on the other side of the small pond at the mouth of the cave, and you will see some red flowers with red fruits on them, and picking one for your father to eat will not only restore him to his original state, but also make him strong and strong, and it will be difficult for him not to live to be a hundred years old. “

Shi Lei was also excited, and unconsciously bowed deeply towards the empty cave, "Thank you, senior, I'll go back immediately, and I'll come back to you after the matter is dealt with." “

After saying that, the man couldn't wait to get out of the cave and run to the other side of the pond.

Sure enough, I saw a red flower, and there were red fruits next to the flower.

He hurriedly picked one off, thought for a moment and picked another one. Carefully wrap it and place it in the package.

It was already five o'clock in the afternoon, and the sun was still shining on the earth, but it was not far from getting dark.

Shi Lei hurriedly returned along the same road, the water flow in the evening was much weaker, so there was not much danger, and the speed of going down the mountain was much faster than going up the mountain.

At half-past seven, he returned to the side of the road at the foot of the mountain, and by this time it was already dark, and only the light in his hand could still make him see everything around him clearly.

But there was no one else on the road, let alone other vehicles, and he was a little troubled, and ran down in a hurry, forgetting about the stubble.

I didn't use my mobile phone to take a taxi nearby, and I sat on the ground with my head down, looking around from time to time.

However, just when Shi Lei thought that he was going to spend the night on the side of the road, just over ten minutes later, a bright light rose from not far away, and continued to rise and fall with the mountain road.

He hurriedly stood up, looked at the direction of the vehicle and suddenly became excited, and didn't care too much, and stood directly in the middle of the road ready to stop the car.

With a "whoosh", a sedan came to a steady stop, and a figure peeked out of the driver's window.

"Hey, little brother, why are you stopping my car, it's too dangerous. “

Shi Lei walked over quickly, with a smile on his face, "Uncle, I went down the mountain near here, but it was too dark, and there was no car back to JN City, you can see if you can give me a ride, I will give you three hundred fares." All you need to do is get to the place where you can get a rental. “

The uncle first glanced at it vigilantly, then sat back in the car, discussing something in a low voice, and the voices of two other women sounded in the car at the same time.

After a while, the uncle poked his head out again, "Can you show me your ID and work documents?"

Shi Lei hurriedly handed over his ID card and work ID.

The uncle glanced at it twice, and then his vigilance eased, and the whole person smiled easily, "Little brother, come up." As he spoke, he returned the documents in his hand.

Shi Lei said thank you gratefully and went up from the back door. There was also a young cute girl in the back seat of the car, who looked no more than in her early twenties, with fair skin and two small dimples at the corners of her mouth, which could be clearly seen even if she was not smiling.

The co-pilot sat a middle-aged woman, who seemed to be a family of three playing Mount Tai, just in time to rush back.

The girl looked at the handsome man who came up with a curious expression, and her face was slightly red in the dim light.

The sedan moved quickly, and Shi Lei smiled politely, "Auntie, hello." My name is Shi Lei. “

Without waiting for the aunt to speak, the uncle said, "Little brother, my surname is Tang, you can call me Uncle Tang." Next to me, my daughter-in-law, surnamed Jiang. Next to you is our little girl Tang Yu, who just started college this year. “

Seeing that he was mentioned, Tang Yu responded politely, "Brother Shi Lei, hello." “

"Hello, Miss Tang Yu, your father is so happy, his wife and daughter are so beautiful. “

Uncle Tang laughed when he heard this, the fatigue in the night was gone, and he suddenly felt a lot more energetic when driving.

There was laughter and laughter along the way, and the atmosphere was very harmonious. It seems that time passes quickly, and the car has appeared at the door of the hospital.

Originally, Shi Lei didn't want to trouble the family, and wanted to get off when he was close to the city. But I didn't expect Uncle Tang to be very enthusiastic, so he had to send him to his destination.

"Uncle Tang, thank you so much. After Shi Lei got out of the car, he hurriedly said.

"What is there to thank, I was almost on the way, and I didn't go far. “

Shi Lei handed over the three hundred yuan that had been prepared.

Uncle Tang hurriedly waved his hand, "Little brother, let's leave it to your dad for treatment, you need it more than me, just like that, let's go." “

As he spoke, with a foot on the accelerator, Tang Yu also poked his head out and waved his hand, "Brother Shi Lei, I wish my uncle a speedy recovery." “

"I wish you all the best of luck all the time. Shi Lei whispered to the distant car shadow, touched the backpack behind him, and walked into the hospital with anticipation.
