Chapter 121: The Invisible Shadow

She had never come this far, and she didn't know how long she had been and how long she would have to walk. There is no end to looking ahead, and there is no end to looking back. The path she had just walked had disappeared, disappearing without a trace, and only a shadow had always followed her every step of the way, silently watching her.

She suddenly woke up in a panic and realized that she had no way out but to keep moving forward mechanically. She wanted to stop and rest, but her feet involuntarily stretched forward.

She felt like she was going to collapse, she couldn't walk, she couldn't walk half a step. It was only because of the support of inertia that she was able to stumble forward. In desperation, a meadow finally appeared in front of her, and she lay down without hesitation. It was so comfortable, she never remembered it again.

However, the shadow that had always followed her ruthlessly walked in front of her, and as soon as he stretched out his hand, he pulled her up with a drag, and the shadow finally spoke: "My child, do you want to lie down?" Never! You don't have the right to lie down, you have to get up, you have to move forward. Get up, my child, and you can only go forward. ”

She looked at the cold and ruthless shadow and cried bitterly, "I want to go back, I can't walk anymore, I can't go anymore, and I don't want to go." The shadow stared at her coldly: "My child, let's be honest, you have no way out, we have no way out. Because you don't have the right to choose, none of us have the right to choose. You have to go if you can't go, and you have to go if you don't want to. ”

She trembled and fell to her knees in front of the shadow with tears streaming down her face: "Please tell me, what kind of road is ahead, and when will I go?" Where are you going? When will it come to an end? ”

The shadow pulled her up again, looked directly at her with cold eyes, and said expressionlessly, "You don't need to know what kind of road is ahead, but you have to move forward." Do you want to know where the end is? Let me tell you, you have to go all the way to death, and death is the end. When you die, someone will take your place. ”

She finally broke out in an intolerable indignation: "I'm dying now, I feel like I'm a dead man, you bury me, just bury me here!" ”

The shadow was stunned, and then sneered mockingly: "My child, you have no choice, you can't choose death now, and this is not the place where you are buried." ”

She stared at the shadow in despair and asked, "Why?" Why? Why? Don't I even have the right to choose my own death? ”

The shadow said with a serious face: "Yes, not only do you not have the right to such a choice, but neither of us has the right to such a choice, because you do not belong to you. Starting today, you should make yourself understand that you are not your own! You must remember later that you are not your own. ”

Puzzled, she questioned, "I don't belong to myself?" So who do I belong to? Am I a slave? Who is my master? ”

Her heart seemed to be stuffed into a mess, looking at the shadow of her face becoming more and more blurred, her heart was filled with all kinds of questions: "Who are you?" Why do you want to follow me all the time? Who are you? Why can't you understand my situation? Why do you never ask if I like it or not? Never ask me if I want to? Where are you from? Why don't you give me more and better options? Why are you forcing me to do something I don't want to do? Who are you? Who are you? Who are you? Who are you? ”

"I'll let you know who I am right now?" The voice of the shadow suddenly sounded in her ears again.

The shadow grew taller, and its body stood like a hill in the void in front of her, and her tone was solemn and unquestionable: "I am the whole family behind you!" You should never think of leaving me. From the moment you were born, you were destined not to leave me. Without me, you are a lonely soul. Whether you like it or not, I will always be there for you. Paying attention to you, protecting you, and controlling you, you can't leave it for the rest of your life. You can see me, you can't see me, I'll always be watching you from behind you. You don't have any suspicions, and you don't have any delusions to escape. ”

She finally understood, is this the fate that her father told her when he was alive? Nervously, she followed the shadow to a new fork in the road. There were several paths ahead, and the shadow told her that neither the side nor the big road was her choice. There was only one seemingly treacherous mountain trail left in front of her, and she had to climb the mountain in front of her to find her home.

The shadow's face suddenly became gentle again, and he kept encouraging her, and told her, "You need not be afraid, although this mountain road is a little difficult, there are many people who have already walked in front of you, and you will definitely walk through it." Just keep going, I'll be waiting for you in front. ”

The shadow disappeared after speaking, and she remembered what the shadow had just said, although she couldn't see the shadow anymore, the shadow never left, and she would always be under the shadow's control. She gritted her teeth and silently looked at the unpredictable road ahead, walking alone and alone. When she encountered a steep and dangerous place, she fell on all fours and crawled forward like an ant.

I don't know how long I walked, how long I climbed, I was really exhausted, she sat down with her whole body paralyzed, hugged a strangely shaped big rock on the side of the road, and couldn't help crying.

I don't know how long she cried, but the big stone she was holding in her arms unconsciously turned into a huge mirror, and she was surprised to find that she in the mirror had become an old woman.

Her tears could not stop flowing, and to her surprise, they instantly turned into stones of different sizes, and they rolled down to her feet. The stones slowly piled up and formed a huge tomb. She tried to climb out of the stone grave, but the stones grew heavier and heavier, and she saw that she was about to be buried by them.

"Am I buried in my own tears?" When Xiao Kunu woke up from her sleep, the sun had already risen very high. She rubbed her eyes, trying to remember the strange dream, and there was still an inexplicable horror in her mind.

She walked to the dressing mirror in a trance, and looked carefully to see that her hair was not as white as in the dream, and her teeth were not all out as in the dream. She was a little uneasy, and gently pinched her face with her hand, feeling some pain, and confirmed that she was not dreaming. She looked at herself in the mirror carefully again, and found that she was still as young as yesterday. Only then did she put her mind at ease, stood in front of the mirror and was stunned for a while, and she couldn't help laughing.

She didn't understand why she had such strange dreams, she thought that maybe she had been accompanying Liu Mu Nan in the hospital these days, and she was worried about whether his body could fully recover, and the pressure in her heart was great, and she would always have all kinds of strange dreams.

I rushed back from the hospital last night, and after taking a hot bath, my body was completely relaxed, but I still couldn't let go of the worries and doubts in my heart. Thinking about the things she didn't have a clue about, she didn't know when she fell asleep.

Xiao Kunu was standing in front of the dressing mirror stunned, and what kind of husband knocked on the door outside and shouted: "Bitter girl, bitter girl, the breeding is here, you haven't gotten up yet?" Only then did she remember that when she went back last night, she had told her that he had already helped her contact the family in the neighboring village that raised breeding boars, and that he would come to help her old sow breed.

This old sow has been raised for six or seven years. It has to be produced twice a year, and each time it is a dozen cubs, which can be sold for thousands of dollars at the market. In order to take care of it, Xiao Kunu often prepares good feed and forage for it. As a breeding pig, it can be regarded as in its old age, and last year it was obviously a little inadequate.

Xiao Kunu saw a kind of sorrow in its body, its cubs were bought and raised by the mountain people, and when they were raised and raised, they were sent to the slaughterhouse. It itself will eventually go to that place, and that's its fate. Xiao Kunu plans to let this sow give birth to another litter of cubs, and she wants to keep it until she dies.

"Are you up?" The husband knocked on the door again and shouted.

"Hey, get up, get up, I'll come." Xiao Kunu knew that it was a boar from a neighboring village who was bred, so she quickly got dressed and went to open the door.

What kind of husband and the woman holding the breeding boar were standing at the door chatting: "What about your old gambler, he didn't come?" Where did you gamble again? "The husband is very familiar with the woman who comes with the boar, and knows that her husband is very good at gambling.

The woman holding the boar said unhappily, "Can't I come?" You're looking for a breeding boar, not a gambler looking for money. ”

What kind of husband grinned and made a rare joke: "A woman is running around with a boar, tell me, what does this look like?" ”

The woman who led the boar was also unforgiving: "You old turtle, you think the old lady has never seen the world, what haven't I seen?" You say he's a gambler, but you're not a good thing, maybe you're not a gambler, but you're a lustful pervert? Men are either gambling or, I'm right. ”

The husband laughed happily: "You are wrong, I am not good except for good wine." The woman who led the boar mocked: "Hmph, what you said is very good, who knows what you are doing?" Wine is wine-colored, how can there be a man who is good at wine and not lustful, I don't believe your nonsense. ”

When the husband saw that Xiao Kunu opened the courtyard door and came out, he grinned and said to the woman who was holding the boar: "Don't be poor here, go to work first." ”

"Then you have to take out your old sow." Said the woman who was holding the boar.

Xiao Kunu hurriedly opened the door of the pigsty and released her old sow. Unexpectedly, as soon as the old sow came out, the boar climbed up and moved, listening to the two pigs "humming" on the side, Xiao Kunu hurriedly twisted her face to the side. The woman holding the boar glanced at Xiao Kunu, and said with some disdain: "Ouch, what are you pretending to be, humans and animals are connected, isn't that what it is." ”

After the two pigs were mated, and the woman who led the boar took the money for the breeding and left, the husband looked at Xiao Kunu and said, "If you are tired, rest for a few days, the work in the field cannot be finished anyway, and you can't finish it even if you keep doing it." ”

Xiao Kunu thought about last night's events with a red face and said "um", lowered her head and thought about her own thoughts.
