Chapter Seventy-Three: The Buried West Country
The old people say that a long time ago, there was a mysterious country called Xizi Kingdom, where people do not grow old and live a long life, because as soon as they reach adulthood, they will be like snakes, shedding their skin once a year, so that they can stay in this period of adulthood forever. However, the process of peeling off the skin is horrific and bloody, because a whole piece of skin has to be peeled off from the feet all the way to the top of the head. It will take off for seven days and seven nights. Many people can't stand this pain and commit suicide before peeling, or die during the peeling process. Later, the sound of pain alarmed the god of heaven, and the god of heaven came down to earth to exchange the rules of survival between man and snake. However, although the people of Xizi Kingdom are afraid of peeling their skin, they are even more afraid of death, and they do not agree. At that time, the king had a woman who loved each other very much, and the woman happened to shed her skin, and when she was about to finish shedding, the law stopped, and the woman died in pain.
The monarch was grief-stricken and wanted to destroy the records of the broken worlds in the hands of the immortals, and according to legend, the records of the broken worlds recorded the feng shui, mountains, and human feelings of the land of China. If this is destroyed, the universe will remain unchanged for ten thousand years. In the end, of course, the plan did not succeed, the god of heaven was furious, and with a wave of his hand, the entire Xizi Kingdom disappeared into the vast universe, and no one knew where the Xizi Kingdom went. Maybe it's gone, maybe it's buried in the deepest part of the earth...
Tear Yi remembered that the old man sighed lightly after finishing speaking, and said: "Heaven and earth are not kind, and all things are used as dogs." ”
He was too young to know what he meant.
Tears sometimes have a strange idea, that is, whether Xizi Kingdom is buried under the barren grassland. So a few children got together to discuss, and they had the urge to explore, the so-called newborn calf is not afraid of tigers, which is the child at this time.
The first time I went, it was around eight years old, and there were five people born in the same year, and they hid it from their parents, all of them said that they went to sleep at each other's house, and they didn't go home that night, and their parents were used to it. I don't bother to care, and my father is a drunkard, who drinks all day long, drunk and dreams to death, and sometimes there is no money at home, so he will lose his temper at his mother. Tear's mother was a very gentle woman, and Tear sometimes thought that if she didn't marry her father, she would definitely marry a good man who loved her. Sometimes when she talked to her mother, she just sighed and said, "It's all fate!"
The tears of the hour did not understand what life was, and looked at the golden open space in the distance, and the tears thought that the food for everyone came from here. Quan Ying slapped his tears on his head and said, "You are really stupid, the food is all grown in your father's and mother's fields."
No human voices were heard that time, but a few wild cats scared them enough.
When she was ten years old, all the children in the village were sick with pox, and she was so sick that she always dreamed that a group of strangely dressed people with long hair walked around her, and sometimes when she put her hand on her forehead, she could clearly feel the other person's body temperature, and she tried to see his face clearly, but she couldn't see it clearly.
But she clearly remembers that the other party finally changed her into a snow-white dress, put her in a crystal coffin, and put a concentric lock around her neck.
Later, as he grew up, he had more troubles, his father's alcohol became more and more drunk, and the life of the family became a problem, he still had to drink, and he thought of death in tears, and if he died, he would have no worries. Tear Yi ran away from home alone, and came to the wasteland that could not be seen at a glance, it was summer, and when I lay down on the grass, there was no trouble, and it was extremely comfortable.
I don't know how long it took, but I heard a burst of human voices in a daze, not anything else, but a burst of shouting, just like the kind of bustling streets, the shouts of vendors.
Tear Yi was scared for a while, but she couldn't help but be curious, and desperately wanted to open her eyes, but to no avail. When she woke up the next day, she was already in bed at home, and it turned out that her mother had found her overnight and carried her home.
There has always been one thing in her heart that she can't be said to outsiders, that is, she clearly heard a magnetic voice in the criesmanship, which was calling her name. Tear Yi didn't dare to say it to anyone, because she was worried that they would say that she was young, and she began to think about spring. I was worried that they would say that they were not mentally normal.
Later, I went to the river to wash clothes, tears will not water, so laundry only dare to be in the shallow water, that day of the strange heat, I don't know what was going on, tears Yi saw Haiyan opposite her, thought that the water would not be too deep, thought about her side, stepped on the air, instantly the world full of yellow surged into the mind, the ears could not hear any sound...
When I woke up, I found myself lying in a crystal coffin, surrounded by a cold air. Tears were shocked, could it be that she died, and her parents had already buried her? It's not right to think about it, it's right that their hometown is buried in earth, but they use a wooden coffin, and they can't afford to use a crystal coffin. I suddenly remembered the dream I had when I was ten years old, and it seemed that I was dreaming again. She has dreamed since she was a child, that is, she told herself in her dream that it was a dream, and she would wake up if she hit the wall next to her.
Pushed open the lid of the coffin covering it, Tear sat up, and quickly crawled out of it, it was so cold, she almost froze to death. After climbing out of the crystal coffin, she saw that this was a cave, and the cave was bubbling with cold air, like a large ice cellar. Rubbing his hands helplessly, he sighed and hurriedly slammed into the wall. It was so star-populating that it didn't wake up this time. And the pain in her body told her that it was not a dream, and that she was indeed in this cold cave.
Ran out of the cave in a panic, only then did she realize that her legs had become longer, and she ran faster than before, and suddenly stopped, no, what's the matter with the clothes on this body, this is not her clothes. And this hair, how can it be so long and so bright, it is up to the waist. The most important point is the gold concentric lock hanging on her chest, and the jade bracelet on her wrist shocked her, her family is so poor that eating has become a problem, how can her parents spend so much money to bury her?
Looking back at the crystal coffin, and then at the clothes on her body, and the concentric locks on her chest, these are not the things that appeared in her dream when she was ten years old? Could it be that she was resurrected in her previous life.
Crouching down in fear, he shrank into the corner, remembering a story he had heard from the village elders about the strange sight of the wife in the coffin of a husband and wife whose face was twisted and her expression of pain after the tomb of a husband and wife was unintentionally dug up. Later, everyone analyzed, saying that his wife should not have died completely when she was buried, but faked her death, and suddenly woke up after the burial to find herself in this black coffin, dying of despair, and thousands of years later, the bones were found. She was afraid that she would be the second woman like that.
At this time, she realized how happy it was to live an ordinary life in that poor family that could not afford to eat.
