Chapter 2: Daddy and the Cross Coffin

Early the next morning, Ji Ge got up surprisingly early, planning to take the donkey skin to go out of the city for a yo-yo. Dad didn't know what kind of nerves he had, so he actually gave him a day off before leaving.

"It must be to comfort me and let me go out for a walk, so that this old man can't say something good. ”

Ji Ge muttered on his lips, but his heart was warm. Although the old man quarrels with him every day, he regards him as his own, Ji Ge's precious little dress is the old man's favorite one when he was young, and it was sent to the tailor yesterday to cut and throw it to Ji Ge to let him wear a handsome point to test his talent.

The sloppy Ji Ge ran all the way to the city gate with an even more sloppy donkey skin, the little green thing jumped happily like a butterfly, and the big tail hit the ground like a spring, which was very funny, and the neighbors who knew each other around let out bursts of joyful laughter.

All those who have seen the donkey's skin swear that this is the stupidest lame dog they have ever seen. It has short forelimbs, squatting like a green-haired monkey, and in addition to being lazy and sleeping, this little thing will be used as a spring to play with its fat tail all day long.

"Woooo

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry, this little brute is stupid. Ji Ge noticed the fierce glint in the man's eyes hidden in the hood, realized that this stranger was probably not a master to be messed with, and hurriedly stepped forward to apologize, and kicked the donkey skin aside with his right foot.

When Ji Ge raised his head and looked at the man's face, he couldn't help but secretly gasp, the man's face seemed to have been burned by fire, the black scar mixed with the new red flesh looked very hideous and disgusting, and his eyes were like a vicious snake. He quickly lowered his head.

"It's all because this stupid dog doesn't have long eyes, don't be like it. ”

"Hmph!" The man snorted, his voice was gloomy and made Ji Ge numb, he was about to walk away, when he suddenly remembered something, and looked at the black-haired and black-eyed boy in front of him.

"How to get to the gold cave?"

Ji Ge was stunned for a moment, and then secretly slandered, thinking that with your honor, you still drilled into that gentle township, looking like a demon, it turned out to be a demon in the sex, and those good sisters were afraid that they would be sinned.

His face was silent, and he pointed to the road and said, "Follow this street to the end, and the most imposing building is it." ”

The man glanced at the donkey's skin and walked straight on.

Looking at the man who was covered in black and swarthy hair, Ji Ge pursed his lips behind his back. Suddenly, the man threw something shiny from behind. Ji Ge was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly stepped forward to pick it up, a gold button with a pattern! He smiled, and hurriedly hid the flying windfall into his pocket.

"Don't be honest with me yet. ”

He clapped his hands, carried the donkey's skin to his shoulders, and walked out of the city.

He walked around the great river outside the city and walked to a slope. The green-skinned dog jumped off his shoulder, not knowing how to burrow into the hole in the grass. Ji Ge didn't care about it, as soon as this little thing came out, it foraged everywhere. Lying on the grass with his head in his hands, he was in a daze, and remembered the crystal bracelet that glowed with a dreamy light yesterday and the words of the petite woman.

Talent......

He exhaled deeply, put his hands over his eyes, and watched the white clouds flow in the clear sky through his fingers, and he couldn't help but want to see what the real world was like......

After thinking about it for a long time, Ji Ge got up and whistled. The donkey's skin wagged its fat tail and quickly poked its head out of the grass, and it bit a red fruit in its mouth. He reached out and pulled the fruit out, took a bite, and stuffed it into its mouth.

"Woo, hiccup..."

"Haha, hiccup..."

Accompanied the donkey Pi'er to play by the river for a while, caught a few fish and roasted them on the fire, Ji Ge and the green dog leaned against the big stone by the river together to bask in their round bellies, pointed at each other, laughed at each other, and hiccuped from time to time.

When the sunset dyed the sky red, Ji Ge stepped on the sunset and the green dog that had obviously risen in a circle and returned to the city.

"Hey, Uncle Rick, why did you close the store so early today, I'm afraid that no one will drink the wine you mixed with too much water..."After a crazy day, Ji Ge was in a much better mood, and saw that the small liquor seller who usually closes the store until late at night cleaned up so early today, and casually said a joke.

Rick the liquor seller was a nagging man, but today he was a little strange, his eyes were gloomy and he glanced at him, opened his mouth, and said nothing.

Ji Ge walked all the way, and saw that the eyes of the neighbors around him were a little unfamiliar, and his heart was covered with a faint haze. Thinking of something, he panicked and quickened his pace towards the familiar street corner.

"Ji Ge'er, don't go to your father's, he... There's something going on over there, why don't you go to my house for dinner today..."The vegetable seller aunt who touches Ji Ge's head every day stood up, opened her thin and shriveled body to block the way, her purple lips trembled constantly, and she forced out a smile.

"Auntie burned your favorite chicken thighs. ”

Ji Ge didn't make a sound, and saw from a distance that there was still black smoke above the familiar place, and his heart was stuffy as if a stone was blocked, so he gently pushed her away, and ran there frantically with his legs outstretched.

Ji Ge came to the door of the Pinjin Cave, looking at the ruins that were still dancing with flames in front of him, is this still the wind and moon land that never sleeps?

He stepped on the broken wood and gravel that were still hot, and the familiar people lay there quietly, a killing without resistance. The smell of blood in the fire gave off the smell of death, more vivid than the sunset in the sky. Fear and confusion flooded his mind, and he spasmed violently.

Ji Ge choked and knelt on the rubble, his hands trembling, as if he wanted to save something. They were just a bunch of poor women, Aunt Mary's chubby smiling face was still in front of her, she wanted to save enough money to marry the blacksmith next door, and Sister Maggie laughed at the fat aristocrats every day in order to provide music for her sister......

They are just humble but strong people who survive!!

Ji Ge was tumbling in his abdomen, holding back his vomiting. He forced himself to watch, and he wanted to remember what each corpse looked like. He stood up, tripped over the broken log, and struggled to get up to find Daddy Moya's room.

Knocking down the door that was still on fire, Daddy Mo Ya was lying there, quietly waiting for Ji Ge's tardiness as before. His silver-gray hair was stained with black ash, but his head was separated from his body and rolled to the side. Daddy is really old, the wrinkles at the corners of his eyes are loose and drooping, he has never felt so really like now, he is really old! Ji Ge originally planned to wait until he became a magician to take Daddy to the tower built by him in gold, and a few little maids took turns to take care of him every day, raising him to be as delicious and lazy as a donkey's skin.

But it's not possible now. He's dead.

Ji Ge wanted to cry, but he was dumb and pulled the bellows like a serious illness.

The boy knelt with his old head in his arms, his face bowed. He had nothing left. He felt that there was something to be done for these martyrs. The donkey kept crouching at Ji Ge's feet and whined softly, its small eyes looking at its purgatory-like surroundings in confusion, shrunk into a ball.

It's nightfall.

Ji Ge wiped away the cool tears, hugged the mutilated corpse, held the head, and walked step by step towards the place where there was no light.

He went out and bought a cross coffin. I put my father's body and head together and put it in. Carrying the coffin, Ji Ge returned home and dug a not-so-deep pit in the middle of the room with his hands, and the flesh and blood on the ground were blurred with his hands, but he didn't feel pain.

Without sprinkling the soil, Ji Ge lay on his side on the dark cross coffin, curled up and holding the donkey's skin, his ears pressed to the cold coffin lid and muttered, wanting to hear his father talk to him.

Hot tears trickled down his cheeks and fell into the black box where he had been asleep for fourteen years.
