Chapter Forty-Nine: After Life and Death, I Know Joys and Sorrows
Due to the general's perennial conquest and outstanding achievements, it gradually aroused the emperor's suspicion, and Wang Xing's nonsense had already been heard of by the emperor over the years, and finally the emperor decided to kill the general when Wang Xing was fourteen years old.
Late one night, the secret guards in the palace sent by the emperor went to the general's mansion, and these guards got the order that the family was completely destroyed, and those guards soon came to the general's mansion, although the general's mansion also had many guards, but where are these guards comparable to many palace guards? Soon they were slaughtered, when there was no one in the general's mansion, the guards did not find Wang Xing's shadow, those guards after careful search finally found Wang Xing who was hidden by his mother, at this time Wang Xing's whole person was already frightened, those guards did not kill Wang Xing, but took him to the palace by the emperor himself.
After the emperor saw Wang Xing on the second day, he did not hesitate to directly issue Ling Chi's order, he not only wanted to exterminate the general's entire family, but also let the people see what the final price of those who brought disaster to the country and the people was.
At noon, Wang Xing was pressed outside a city gate, the executioner had been waiting for a long time, they also heard of this person, and there was a lot of resentment in their hearts at this time, Liu Qi looked at the angry people around Wang Xing and also felt that this Wang Xing was indeed worthy of killing, but when he saw a piece of meat cut off Wang Xing's body, he couldn't help but have a sad feeling in his heart, a fourteen-year-old child was sliced off the whole body by a knife, and the entire execution ground was filled with Wang Xing's screams, Liu Qi thought that if Wang Xing hadn't done so evil at that time, I'm afraid he would have died more easily now。
Just when Wang Xing was completely out of breath, the scene around Liu Qi suddenly changed, he came to the front of a grass house, and a teenager came out of the door in the grass house, this young man seemed to be only a teenager, he was dressed in tatters, and he was holding a broken bowl in his hand, he didn't seem to see Liu Qi outside at all, and went straight to the town under the mountain, when he came to the town, the town was far from lively, and he just went to the vegetable market to pick up those rotten vegetables that others didn't want.
In this process, there will also be villagers who live next to him to give him some food, but all of them were rejected by him, he took the vegetables he picked up and walked slowly in the town, at this time there was a group of children, these children were the same age as him, but they were all dressed extremely gorgeously, and they were also holding a lot of snacks in their hands and kept sending them to their mouths, he raised his head to look at those children, his eyes were full of envy and yearning, but he seemed to think of something, quickly lowered his head and continued to walk, and the words of the two women on the side of the street attracted Liu Qi's attention。
"This child is so pitiful, his parents died in the battle with the horse thief, this child became an orphan, I didn't expect that he should have become a hero, the county order that was cut a thousand times actually copied his house and made him homeless, alas, it's really pitiful,"
"Yes, yes, if it weren't for the martial arts gym opened by his father to protect our town, I'm afraid our town would have been ransacked by those horse thieves, I didn't expect that the county order could do such a thing as a pig and a dog, but this kid still has backbone, he doesn't want the money for food and clothing given to him, so he lives by picking up some rotten vegetables by himself, it's really hard for this child,"
After listening to the conversation between the two people, Liu Qi looked at the child who was walking slowly in the morning sun, and suddenly felt that the child's back was a little great, he continued to follow, only to see the child walk through the town and walk into the woods without stopping, and then he saw a monkey jumping down from the tree and jumping directly onto the child's shoulder.
"Ash, I'm sorry, I didn't pick up your favorite banana today, I picked up these things, you can eat it yourself if you see what you like to eat," Saying that the child put all the rotten vegetables in his hand on the ground for the monkey to choose, the monkey named Little Gray looked at the child, and then squeaked twice at the child, pointed to the thing on the ground and waved his hand, and then squeaked twice at the big tree that it had just jumped down, and a monkey jumped down from the big tree, and the two monkeys stood in front of the child in unison, and Little Gray gestured to the child.
"Xiao Ash, have you found your partner and want to leave here?" Xiao Ash nodded, "Well, then you can leave here to find a place suitable for your survival, you don't have to worry about me, I will live well, don't worry," said the child, the child picked up the rotten vegetables on the ground again and turned around and walked out of the woods without any trace of nostalgia, and Liu Qi saw tears faintly appearing in the corners of Xiao Ash's eyes at this time.
The child returned to the streets of the village and town, at this moment his expression was even more lonely, Liu Qi also knew that maybe Xiao Ash was his only friend, and the only real friend Although Xiao Ash was just a monkey, the child walked slowly on the street, he avoided all the possibilities of being able to look at people, and he also carefully avoided everyone around him, but the village and town had gradually become lively, and he accidentally bumped into a gorgeously dressed child, he hurriedly said sorry, but the child still did not give up, not only let his entourage knock out the rotten vegetables in the hands of the child, those attendants also beat the children severely.
When everyone left, the child knelt down and picked up the rotten vegetables that had fallen beside him, dragged his beaten torn body and slowly walked back to his hut step by step, and when he returned to the house, he still felt the pain, he lay down to relieve the pain in his body, and soon he fell asleep.
Liu Qi saw a sweet smile on the corner of his mouth in his sleep, Liu Qi thought that maybe he saw his parents in his sleep, the child had been asleep, and the sun was slowly setting, Liu Qi felt that something was wrong, Liu Qi checked the child's body and found that the child had no breath of life, and he didn't know when the child had died.
At this time, Liu Qi was extremely angry, he really wanted to kill those who beat the children, but he couldn't do anything, he could only watch the children being beaten and seriously injured to death, Liu Qi couldn't help but think that I couldn't even help such a kind child, and I still cultivated Raush Zixian? Even Liu Qi didn't even have the ability to bury this child, he looked at the child in a very sad mood, he knew that this child died here at all, not even anyone would know, they had never paid attention to a child who could only live by picking up rotten vegetables, even if the child's parents sacrificed themselves for the town.
Liu Qi felt that there were tears in his eyes at this moment, Liu Qi raised his head and closed his eyes, he didn't want to let himself leave tears, when he opened his eyes, he appeared in an ordinary room, the room was very simple only after a bed, a table of eight immortals and four benches, there was an old man lying on the bed, this old man was obviously on the verge of death, but at this time the old man's face did not have any fear of death, on the contrary, at this time his face showed a very satisfied smile, at this time the door rang, and a man walked in from the door, this man was also dressed very plainly, but with a bowl of rice balls in his hand.
"Dad, the glutinous rice balls I cooked for you are ready, you can eat it," said the man, and helped the old man up from the bed.
"Dad, don't think about it, you can live for a long time, where you are dying,"
"Son, my father's body is my own heart, my father is leaving, so I let you make this bowl of rice balls, I have liked to eat rice balls since I was a child, but the family is poor, it is not so easy to eat a bowl of rice balls, I found your mother at that time, your mother did not think I was poor and married me, from that time I was determined to let your mother live a good life of eating rice balls every day, and the meaning of the rice balls is also good, the rice balls are full of rice balls, I will be reunited with your mother after eating this bowl of rice balls,"
"Dad, don't talk nonsense, you're not that old,"
"Hehe, I'm not old, I'm fifty-six, and it's time to go, but I can't rest assured that you can't rest assured, son, you must take care of yourself after Dad leaves, you're such an adult, it's a pity that Dad didn't hold his grandson, but you still have to hurry," At this time, the son didn't say anything, just watched his father eat the rice balls in the bowl one by one, and watched the tears in his son's eyes keep flowing, his mother left their father and son early, his father has worked hard to bring him up over the years, although the family is still poor, but it gives him a sense of warmth, and now his father may be leaving, he can't help but feel that his heart is full of extreme grief, he doesn't want his father to leave him, but who can control the things like birth, old age, sickness and death?
Soon the bowl of rice balls all came to the old man's mouth, "Son, Dad is looking for your mother, your mother is recruiting from Daddy," "Bang", the bowl in the old man's hand fell to the ground and fell in half, and the old man's eyes were closed.
"Daddy, daddy, don't go, daddy," the son cried desperately, at this time he was both sad and ashamed, sad and his father's death, ashamed of his own incompetence, he did not let his father live a good life, he could only watch his father die in front of him, he cried into tears.
At this time, Liu Qi was also very sentimental in his heart, he couldn't help but think of his parents, at least this person has a father, but his parents don't know where they are, he wants to come forward to comfort this person, but he is powerless, he is very tired, he has witnessed the joys and sorrows of the three worlds, he can't help but start thinking about what life is? What is fate? Is it really human destiny?
