Chapter 9: Three Years Ago
"It's just that if you practice with such a purpose, won't Master Zun be unhappy?"
With this kind of uneasy thoughts, Su Xuan went up and down the mountain a few times, and before he knew it, he had already filled the water tank.
Even when eating at noon, the food was tasteless, which surprised Zhang Can and Tao Liubin on the side.
"You're here. ”
Li Dong was still sitting on the riverside, looking at Su Xuan, who was in a trance, and said.
"I've seen Shizun. ”
Su Xuan cleaned up his mood and respectfully saluted.
"How, for the teacher's question, have you figured out how to answer it?"
He nodded, no matter how scared he was, it would be useless. Even if he would be hated by Shizun, Su Xuan didn't want to be perfunctory in this matter. He decided to face his heart and tell the truth.
"I want to practice, I want to become stronger. Because I hate the weak and powerless self in the past, I don't want to watch the innocent death of important people anymore, but I can only cry sadly. ”
He looked at Li Dong's wise eyes and said word by word.
"I want revenge!"
"Revenge?"
Li Dong suddenly realized that this might be the deep obsession in his heart.
He asked, "What kind of grudge can you have at such a young age, and to whom do you want to take revenge?"
Su Xuan shook his head: "I don't know who he is, but I know that he ruined everything for me." Dad, mother, and sister, all died tragically because of him!"
His head began to ache again, but no amount of pain could hide the brightness in his eyes.
"So, I'm going to seek revenge on him. ”
Li Dong heard this, but his face suddenly tightened.
Of course, he already knew Su Xuan's life experience well, this child originally had a happy family, but all of this was destroyed in the disaster three years ago. However, isn't this disaster already considered a major earthquake under the guidance of the authorities? Why does he still say anything about revenge, is it that he really knows the facts?
"What do you know?"
"Three years ago, it wasn't an earthquake at all. I saw with my own eyes that it was a man, and the sky fell apart between his hands. ”
His face was full of pain, and his eyes were full of remorse.
"If I had ...... at the time"
Step back in time.
Three years ago, it was the same summer afternoon.
Like Feng Tianzong, there is also such a small river at the door of Su Xuan's house.
Sitting on the shore, bored with the weeds in his hands, Su Xuan tilted his head and looked at the few white geese on the river in a daze.
"If Ning Di hadn't been sick, he would have teased these gosze with me now, wouldn't I?
Thinking of his sister, who had suddenly become ill, he looked back at his home, his little face full of sorrow.
Suddenly, a bright light suddenly crossed the horizon in the distance, and even in the hot sun, it could be seen very clearly.
Su Xuan watched it disappear into the sky, and then continued to be in a daze in a boring manner.
In his cognition, that light was nothing more than a meteorite. He has seen this kind of thing many times, and he is not surprised.
Looking at the daze-headed appearance of the big white geese in the small river, his mood suddenly became inexplicably happy.
"Under the bridge in front of you, swim past a flock of ducks, come and count them, two, four, six, seven, eight, ......"
There is no bridge here, and there are no ducks on the river, but Su Xuan can still be so cheerful and humming a little song and entertaining himself.
"Little friend. ”
The blazing sunlight was blocked by a shadow, Su Xuan raised his head, looked at the strange man who suddenly appeared in front of him at some point, and asked suspiciously, "Who are you?"
The strange middle-aged man smiled slightly and replied, "A passerby who has lost his way on the journey of life. ”
Su Xuan blinked as if he didn't understand.
He only felt that although this man was unruly, he still felt quite kind when he spoke. Such contrasting temperaments appeared in one person at the same time, and Su Xuan had never seen such a strange person before.
The middle-aged man continued to ask, "Little friend, have you ever seen any strange people passing by here?"
Su Xuan thought to himself, aren't you the strange person in your mouth?
"No, our village is very remote, and no one usually runs here. ”
"So, has anything strange happened to that side?"
"Strange things?"
Su Xuan tilted his head, he remembered the meteorite that had just flashed by, although he didn't think it was something strange to talk about, but he still said it.
The middle-aged man's eyes lit up suddenly.
He said gently, "Thank you, little friend." ”
Su Xuan also replied shyly: "You're welcome." ”
The middle-aged man turned around and wanted to leave, but at that moment, he seemed to remember something, and the corners of his mouth rose slightly, revealing an evil smile.
He looked at the ignorant young man and said, "Little friend, it seems that I have a fate with you, and today's cause and effect cannot be avoided." Well, I'll give you a seed, and how far it can grow depends on your own future creation!"
With that, he stretched out a finger and instantly pointed it on Su Xuan's forehead.
Su Xuan suddenly only felt that his forehead was extremely itchy, and he wanted to reach out to scratch it, but he was horrified to find that he couldn't move at all.
"Sow the cause today, and bear fruit tomorrow." Children, I look forward to seeing you and me again. ”
The middle-aged man's voice was ethereal, and his figure disappeared abruptly.
"Hell!"
Su Xuan shouted violently, but suddenly found that his body had recovered his freedom.
He ran to the river and brushed his hair at the water, only to find that there was not even a trace left on his forehead.
Looking at the surrounding empty environment, even the white geese on the river are silent at this time. Even though it was in broad daylight, Su Xuan couldn't help but tremble, only to feel that the temperature around him seemed to drop suddenly. In a panic, he drove the leisurely white goose, and he hurriedly ran back to his home.
Drinking a large bowl of cool well water, thinking of the strange man just now, Su Xuan still had some palpitations at the moment.
But he forcibly suppressed his nervousness because he didn't want his family to worry about it.
Dad was banging around the house, mending furniture, while Mom was busy cooking in the kitchen. Su Xuan tiptoed into the bedroom, looking at the petite figure lying on the small bed, his eyes were full of pity.
This girl is Su Xuan's sister, and the rain is dying. The little girl was brought back in a bamboo basket flowing down the river when Su Xuan was playing in the river at the door of his house. There was only a note in the swaddling clothes with the words "rain condensation" written on it, which seemed to be her name. Other than that, there is nothing.
Su Xuan's parents were very happy, and the sudden appearance of the little baby just fulfilled their wish to have a daughter. Since then, Su Xuan has such a well-behaved and lovely sister.
"Condensation?"
Su Xuan called softly, the little girl's eyelids moved slightly, but she couldn't open her eyes. The lips that seemed to be dry closed slightly, Su Xuan pricked up his ears, and then he vaguely heard what she said was the word "brother".
But just such a small movement, but it seemed to exhaust all the strength of Yu Ning, and the beads of sweat on her forehead became more and more fine.
Su Xuan secretly blamed herself, and wiped her sweat distressedly.
However, suddenly, his heart shrank violently, and an extremely ominous premonition inexplicably appeared in his mind.
Su Xuan looked around irritably.
The next moment, the earth suddenly shook violently without warning. The roof of the bedroom suddenly collapsed, and Su Xuan didn't have time to react, he subconsciously fell on Yu Ningyan's body, and then fell into darkness.
Su Xuan quietly recounted that for the first time in three years, he poured out this sad memory.
"When I regained consciousness, I found myself in the outside world, surrounded by ruins and ruins. ”
He grimaced.
"Now that I think about it, it should be some mystery in that man's previous finger that saved my life!"
"But ......"
He clenched his fists, tears glistening in his eyes.
"But, Daddy, and Sister, they ......"
