Chapter 17: Liu Laoshi's Past
Liu Laoshi leaned against the door, sighed, and walked towards the early hours of the morning, the little guy responded expressionlessly, Liu Laoshi took the scissors, and began to trim the unkempt black hair on the little guy's head.
"Your mother once saved my life. ”
After a few black threads fell, Liu Laoshi suddenly said, breaking the silence around the two of them. Liu Laoshi saw that there was no response in the early morning, and continued to say while cutting his hair.
"Actually, there is no danger at all in the back mountain, on the side of the grove, and it is not a forbidden place. The real forbidden land is the deep ditch dug by the villagers in the early years after passing through the woods, and crossing the deep ditch, is the real forbidden land in the back mountain. That year, I was young and vigorous, and I thought that I was the best in the village for hunting skills, so I crossed the deep ditch alone and walked to the real back mountain. ”
"I thought I could show my strength, but when I arrived at the real forbidden place in the back mountain, I didn't take a few steps before I met a blue-eyed wolf. The blue-eyed wolf generally lives in a group, and that day was also a blessing in misfortune, and the blue-eyed wolf he met was injured and left alone. But even though the other person is injured and alone, I am not an opponent. After a few rounds, I was very traumatized. ”
"At the last moment, with all my strength, I fought off the blue-eyed wolf, crossed the deep ditch, and went into the grove, and finally passed out from exhaustion. ”
"When I woke up, I was covered in gauze, and there was a woman squatting next to me who was helping me with my medicine, and she was holding a sleeping baby in her arms, and that baby was your mother when you were a child, the woman who saved me. ”
"The claws and teeth of the blue-eyed wolf are highly poisonous, if it weren't for your mother at that time, I would have died in the back mountain woods, and there are no bones left. Therefore, my life was saved by your mother. I know what you're thinking, you want to save your mother tonight, right? ”
Liu Laoshi stopped the scissors in his hand and stared at the little guy's dark eyes through the bronze mirror.
"Honest uncle, do you also like my mother. ”
The hoarse voice of the early morning came out and reached Liu Laoshi's ears. The scissors in Liu Laoshi's hand trembled, and then returned to normal, slowly cutting the little guy's hair, and as the black hair fell lightly, Liu Laoshi smiled bitterly.
"Like? Your mother is like a phoenix perched above the nine heavens. And I, just an insignificant little ant lying on the ground, can look up at your mother from afar, I am already very content, don't talk about the word like, how can ants be compared to the phoenix. ”
"Okay, cut it. Well, it's a lot more mental to cut short hair. ”
Liu Laoshi waved his hand lightly and patted off some of the broken hair on the little guy's head. Ling Chen looked at the bronze mirror and saw that he was indeed much more energetic.
"Okay, honest uncle, I'm leaving, I hope you don't stop me. ”
Ling Chen reached out and took away the scissors in Liu Laoshi's hand, held them in his arms, and turned around to leave.
"Haha, whoever wants to stop you, I'm going to go with you. ”
Liu honestly smiled at Ling Chen, Ling Chen wanted to say something, but in the end he just nodded, and the two took advantage of the darkness of the night to walk towards the grove in the back mountain.
In the moonlight, the earth lit up with a silvery color. Liu Laoshi wanted to carry Ling Chen on his back, but was rejected by Ling Chen. Liu Laoshi made up his mind when he walked on the road, even if he lost his life. Protect the poor boy and his mother.
The two of them walked forward with heavy thoughts, and soon passed the wooden sign standing at the entrance of the back mountain, and the monster skull on the wooden sign looked particularly hideous and terrifying with the silver light.
However, when they were about to approach the slightly yellowed weeds in front of the grove, the two found that a white dress was slowly approaching them in front of them.
The white dress was even more ethereal and hazy under the moonlight, and the woman's face was pale, without the slightest blood, but her calm face was particularly beautiful at this time, like a clear spring without wind and waves, exuding indifference.
The little one didn't think so much, tears rained down his eyes, and he ran quickly towards his mother.
And Ling's mother found that the little guy and Liu Lao were real-time, first stunned for a while, and then her heart warmed. She picked up her child, wiped away the tears from the little one, and kissed the child on the forehead.
"Mother, you're fine, woo woo, mother. ”
"Okay, isn't my mother back, my mother promised you that you would come back, and she did what she said. ”
Mother Ling's arms holding the little guy tighter, she looked at Ling Chen's refreshing short hair, revealing a gentle smile.
"Chen'er also cut her hair, the short hair is very energetic, good-looking. ”
Liu Laoshi came over at this time and rubbed his hands embarrassedly.
"It seems that you cut it honestly, it's really troublesome for you, and you brought Chen'er to pick me up. ”
Hearing Ling's mother's words, Liu Laoshi couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat.
"I'm sorry, I took Chen'er over on my own initiative, and I didn't keep my promise and take a good look at him, I'm really sorry. ”
"It's okay, so let's not mention it. ”
The little guy didn't care about the conversation between the two at this time, he just greedily inhaled the familiar aroma on his mother's body, and kept rubbing it in his arms, for fear that his mother would leave again, but he suddenly remembered something, so he raised his head and stared at his mother's chin and asked.
"Mother, what about the bandits? Mother, did you sneak out, let's go quickly. ”
The little guy took his mother's hand and wanted to run, Ling Mu smiled, patted the back of the little guy's head lightly, and replied with an uncertain expression.
"Don't run, the bandits won't catch up, they are all sleeping quietly in the woods, you can go and see it in the morning." ”
"Really, isn't there any danger?"
Ling Chen asked incredulously.
"How could my mother hurt you, silly boy, just go and see it if you want to. ”
When Liu Laoshi heard this, he guessed something, and just wanted to speak, but was blocked by a cold look from Ling Mu. The little guy didn't notice this, and he jumped up and down towards the woods, wondering how the bandits had fallen asleep.
However, as soon as he approached the woods, a strong smell of blood mixed with the smell of earth was inhaled into his nose, and the little guy could not resist the feeling of vomiting, and vaguely guessed something, but did not dare to think deeply. He walked into the woods with his calves carried up.
(High energy ahead, please pay attention to cover!High energy ahead, please pay attention to cover!)
The corpses lay on the ground, blood splattered all around, and as the moonlight shone on, it was found that the blood was still steaming. There were few complete corpses on the ground, either missing arms and legs, or headless. A thin corpse was forced into a thick tree trunk, which was well embedded in the trunk, and the little guy recognized the corpse as the skinny monkey who had spoken to the scar man in the first place. The head and limbs of the skinny monkey carcass were all submerged in the trunk, leaving only the back bulging out. The corpses of the rest of the bandits, some of which were hung in the treetops, some of which were separated from their heads and bodies, and the headless corpses held their half-cut necks with both hands, but their heads could not be found, and there was also a corpse with an arm stuck in its chest, which seemed to have been broken off by someone before his death, and then his own arm pierced through the chest and died.
The most shocking thing is that behind the grove, on a wooden chair, there is a sturdy man sitting on it, covering his nose in the early morning, trying to see the man's face carefully, who knows that he only walked a few steps, the figure sitting on the wooden chair suddenly fell apart, two arms fell down the wooden chair handle, and the thick legs fell down from the hip bone, leaving only a torso without hands and feet standing on the wooden chair, probably because the support point was gone, the head that was facing the front also slid down, just rolling down the little guy's feet, the little guy found out that it was the head of the bandit leader, the bear boss!
Seeing the wide eyes of the bear boss and the blood and tears left under the eyes, the little guy couldn't stand it anymore, his stomach was tumbling, but fortunately he didn't eat much today in the early morning, so he vomited some sour water. But this vomit can't be stopped at all.
Liu Laoshi heard the sound of vomiting coming from the grove, and he confirmed that his previous suspicion was not correct at all. Liu Laoshi looked at Ling's mother with a worried face, only to see that although the woman in front of him seemed indifferent, Liu Laoshi could feel Ling's mother's inner struggle through her clenched hands.
"That's not good, he's still young. ”
"What's wrong? Chen'er will grow up sooner or later, and he will go to higher and farther places, and he can't stand this scene and can't adapt to it, and if he leaves my side in the future, without my protection, what will he do? Let him see these bones today, just to tell him that if he doesn't have strength, he will become like this sooner or later!"
Although Ling's mother said this, she still turned to look into the grove, listening to the retching sound of the little guy, her eyes were full of distress.
When Liu Laoshi heard Ling Mu's words, he didn't want to say anything more. I can only sigh.
