Chapter 123: The ferocity of the wild
A leaf knows autumn, a sword is ethereal - sword autumn.
This is the boy's name, which has a lot of charm and charm, but from its name, it seems that his father's original intention is to ask him for a kind of free and uninhibited. This name has always been liked by Jianqiu, because it was given to him by his biological father, and he didn't live here, but in a bustling town.
His biological father was a little showman, who had been studying hard and reading poetry and books for ten years, just in order to gain a fame, perhaps because of his bad luck, or because he was not good at reading, and he went to participate in the imperial examination several times, looking forward to the title of the gold list and ascending to the sky in one step! But every time he failed to make the list, the blood in his heart was slowly consumed after several times, and he began to be an honest man and do things in a down-to-earth manner, and never talked about the imperial examination again.
His father is quite famous in the town, and whoever has a happy event or a funeral in the town will come to her to write a happy couplet, a funeral couplet, and occasionally go to the school in the town to teach a few classes.
It's a pity, the sky did not fulfill people's wishes, suddenly a catastrophe came, a plague came to this town for no reason, a plague came down, almost half of the people in the town died, and his father also died in the plague, his father died, the pillar of the family was gone, Jianqiu was still young, only ten years old at the time, and his mother was weak, suffering from tuberculosis, orphans and widows were sick and young, and they couldn't gain a foothold in this society at all.
Later, Granny Ma in the town told Jianqiu's mother about a matchmaker. That is, the current stepfather, because of his short temper, lazy food, laziness, gambling, alcoholism and other bad habits, he is still an old bachelor in his forties, but fortunately, he is still a little old at home, and he has some fishing skills, and his usual life can still go on.
Jian Qiu's mother was originally a little hesitant. But then I thought of Jianqiu, agreed to this marriage and agreed to remarry, she was already a woman who had been married once, and with a child, she could find someone to marry again. It's not easy to say, so Jianqiu and his mother came to live in this seaside village, and this stay is four years.
In the past four years, his stepfather, who has become a family, has not had a temper that has not been restrained at all. On the contrary, he became even more violent, and every time he finished drinking, he would be furious and beat Jian Qiu severely. It seems that because Jian Qiu is not his own, he looks at the uncomfortable reason, and the fragile man's self-esteem in his heart is troublesome.
At the beginning, only Jianqiu was fighting. Later, because his mother protected him, he was also beaten by his stepfather, and the mother and son lived in darkness all day long, with the idea of living one day at a time, and this life lived for four years.
Because he was an outsider and remarried with his mother, remarrying in this feudal era was a sign of unchastity, so the adults in the village despised his mother and son. warned his children that they were not allowed to take care of their mother and son, so that their mother and son became transparent in this village, and they were completely isolated, probably because Jianqiu was very lonely in the village, no playmate spoke, and over time he also developed his withdrawn character.
And the little boy in front of him, he met a year ago, it can be said that this is his only friend in this village, last year when Jianqiu followed his stepfather to go fishing, he accidentally fell into the sea, almost drowned, at that time the little boy rescued him, and since then the two have become friends, the kind that talks about everything, nothing to do with any identity.
The soft, fair-skinned soles of her feet, stepping on the fine moonlight, slowly stopped in front of Jian Qiu, her height of more than one meter is much lower than that of the fourteen-year-old Jian Qiu, her fair facial features moved lightly, her lips moved slightly, and she did not make a single sound, but Jian Qiu on the opposite side changed her complexion, and said with some deep thought: "Little boy, you said that you want to enter my body, why?"
The girl opposite, her lips moved lightly again, Jian Qiu's immature little face flashed a few different emotions, and he suddenly muttered: "Oh, you think it's too lonely to be alone at the bottom of the sea, and you are afraid of light, you want to see the outside world, so you want to enter my body, let me help you." ”
With a cold little face, he groaned slightly, Jian Qiu nodded and said in a childish voice: "Xiao Tong, you saved me, I will naturally agree to your request, from today onwards you are me, I am you." ”
The moonlight is cool, sprinkled down with a little bit of scattered light, a trace of salty smell on the sea floats in, the tide on the shore begins to rise little by little, the girl opposite, with a small cyan bowl on her head, her graceful posture, little by little into the boy's body, the shadow under the moon, slowly fused by the two, and finally completely melted into one.
Smooth salt pans, a few zhang square.
On the seashore at night, the sound of the sea water was soft, and in the dilapidated wooden house, there was a crackling sound, and before long, only the crying of a woman, the roar of a man, the boy outside the house, the grim face was faintly hideous, and through the crack in the door, he saw his drunken stepfather, who was beating his mother.
"Damn, really think Lao Tzu is a Bodhisattva! You mother and son, it's not enough to eat Lao Tzu and live in Lao Tzu! You have learned to spend Lao Tzu's money indiscriminately! If you have a disease, you will grab medicine, and the medicine doesn't cost any fucking money! Lao Tzu is almost out of wine to drink, you ruined girl is good to spend Lao Tzu three silver at once, three silver, do you know how much fish Lao Tzu wants to catch?" The man's angry voice reprimanded him very sharply.
Syllable......
A slap was slapped, and the woman on the bed choked with sobs.
The boy outside the door, with a flash of red light in his eyes, saw the axe of chopping wood leaning against the corner of the wall by the moonlight, and almost without any hesitation, he strode over and took the sharp axe in his hand.
Under the dim yellow light, the boy's face was violent, his white face was full of green tendons, and his face was hideous, looking like an angry beast, looking at the back staggering in front of him, under the incredible pupil gaze of the woman on the opposite bed. The boy didn't hesitate, he slashed down with all his strength, and the blood splattered from the axe, and the man on the opposite side felt the pain behind him, and turned around with a fierce face.
"Smack......
The boy didn't hesitate, and when the man turned around, he slashed at him with another axe. The axe smashed directly into the man's head, smashing his head into a hole, and the gurgling blood surged, and after a while, it infected his long hair, and the man's drunkenness woke up a little. He looked at the boy in front of him, stretched out his hand and said in a somewhat angry voice: "Little miscellaneous ......"
......Before he could finish his words, the boy smashed an axe again, and the man was completely out of breath after the axe passed, but the boy was not the end. As if enchanted, the axe in his hand frantically chopped at the dead man on the ground, blood splattered and minced flesh flew everywhere. After a while, the whole hut became fishy.
The sea breeze blows softly, mixed with a hint of saltiness.
In the night, a boy covered in blood, with a thin and thin body. Carrying his mother on his back and leaving the village by the sea, a grass-made public latrine at the head of the village, a man in his twenties was sleepy-eyed, and just came out of the latrine, he saw Jianqiu carrying his mother covered in blood, running towards the outside of the village, and couldn't help but feel sleepy all of a sudden.
A small village by the sea. No longer peaceful, the village chief summoned the burly men of the village, holding harpoons, hunting bows, shovels, wooden sticks, and torches, and walked out of the wooden house with palpitations.
"Chasing ...... Chase that animal back to me and send it to the Yamen. ”
The village chief had a gloomy face, and waved his hand to let a middle-aged man who practiced martial arts in the village, with the young man in the village, chase in the direction of Jianqiu's escape, the magnificence under the night, the tide, the reef by the sea was swallowed by the raging waves, the beach was also submerged, and in the depths of the sea, the crystal coffin lid where the kappa was lying was slowly pushed back by the sea.
The trees were overgrown, the rocks were littered, the weeds were dense, the fierce beasts roared in the mountains and forests, and behind the dimly lit artemisia grass, there were piles of rubble, and a dusty stone slid gently, and from inside a dirty-faced boy poked out his head, and the boy's face was very white, as if he had not seen the light of day for many days.
The afterglow of the setting sun poured out, and the boy turned his head to the haggard middle-aged woman behind him, and said in a childish tone: "Mother, they seem to be gone, you wait for me in the cave, I'll go out and find something to eat." ”
"Ahem...... Qiu'er, be careful......"
Inside the cave, the woman's voice was full of weak instructions.
Five days, after escaping that night, in order to avoid the pursuit of the young strong man in the village, Jian Qiu took his mother, and in this hidden cave that he had found when he was bored, he had been waiting for five days before driving out, and the boy's thin body moved slowly among the tall artemisia grass.
In the weeds in the distance, a silver-gray wolf, staring at the boy's body, hesitated for a while, and finally did not chase out, the keen sense of smell by nature, let it feel a dangerous breath from the boy's body, and when the boy's figure disappeared, it glowed with fierce eyes, staring at the hole in the pile of rocks, strong, sharp limbs, step by step closer to the past.
"Whew......"
The long howl of the wild wolf, mixed with a hint of excitement, spread throughout the silent mountain forest. The boy who returned from afar, a pile of wild fruits in his hand fell to the ground, and his dirty face showed a trace of inexplicable panic, and he quickly ran towards the cave where his mother was.
In the pile of rocks, the hole that was blocked by stones, the stones on the hole were scattered to the side, a silver-gray wolf, with a mouth full of blood and a piece of white bone stained with dirty blood, staggered out of the hole, in the dense artemisia grass outside the cave entrance, the pair of eyes instantly became indifferent, the boy looked at the wild wolf opposite with a cold face, and his body exuded a piercing coldness.
Woohoo woo woo ......
The hidden beast nature completely burst out, the fourteen-year-old boy, with his thin body, and the same male wolf fought fiercely, the flesh on the left arm of the thin body, was torn off by the wolf's sharp teeth, the crazy boy was unaware of the ferocity like an angry lion, in his body the small blue bowl loomed, full of wolf hair, the boy seemed to be more bloodthirsty than the wolf, he drank the hair and ate the flesh, fiercely tore the wolf's body.
The boy's wolf will be even more ferocious, the silver-haired wolf is a little scared, a man and a beast tore each other for two hours, blood, minced meat, hair, splashed artemisia grass red, "baw chirp ......" night came, in the dim night light, the boy's thin body, was lying on the wolf's body to eat, his chest, arms, Nearly seven or eight places on his thighs were bitten off by wild wolves, and the boy who was covered in blood raised his blood-stained face, and his eyes were so cold in the moonlight, without a trace of emotion, like a beast.
