Chapter 5: The Holocaust
Since my father went out to Tianji Palace that day, more than a month has passed, and it stands to reason that the days are counted, and if nothing happens, he will be able to come back in a few days.
But there was no news for a long time, which made his mother Ye Qingmei, who had been looking forward to his return at home, very distressed.
Her father has been away from home for so long, and she has to take care of a child just out of confinement, a newborn baby waiting to be fed, which is really a bit overwhelming.
She was already weak and couldn't do heavy farm work, so she could only do some knitting work, weaving some bamboo baskets, feeding chickens and ducks.
And now that her husband is gone, there is no way to take the objects she knits and the bamboo baskets she weaves to the town to sell, although there is some food at home, but it is only some coarse grain, which adults can eat to pad their stomachs, but it is not suitable for children to eat.
She also tried to take those things to the village to exchange for some food, but with little success, they were all ordinary peasant families, usually coarse and linen, and they didn't need the small things she knitted.
Xu knew that her husband had left home for the sake of the child and had not returned, and seeing that her mother and son were pitiful, the people in the village sometimes helped them.
Seeing that the days passed day by day, another two months passed, and when I was about to enter the beginning of autumn, I finally waited for my husband Yan Liji to return.
The big banyan tree in the courtyard has already turned yellow leaves, the autumn wind swept by, fluttering and falling a dead leaf, and the birds that were originally stationed on it also flew away, leaving an empty nest, scattered in the autumn wind.
And this time when he left home, Yan Luji not only came back by himself, but also brought someone with him.
When the little baby Yan Su was holding in Ye Qingmei's arms, he was blinking his big eyes at this time and carefully looking at her cheap father.
Looks good, it is the kind of honest image, tall and strong, the appearance is the kind of resolute, but not wooden, and a pair of peach blossom eyes that are not very obvious.
It is the same as the sparkling peach blossom eyes of her sister Yan Jing.
Sister Yan Wei's appearance is more inherited from her mother, and she is a complete beauty embryo, and this person Yan Su can't help but fantasize about whether she can be so good-looking when she grows up.
After glancing at her father, Yan Su came to a conclusion, with big nerves, and seemed to be a master with a tendon in his brain.
Shifting his gaze again, Yan Su just met a pair of gentle watery eyes, looking at her with affection.
???
Yan Su didn't know what was going on, obviously this person looked good-looking, with a gentlemanly appearance as gentle as jade, and he looked very easy to get along with, but she just felt a chill in her back.
Not daring to continue looking, Yan Su pretended to be sleepy and blinked, then fell asleep with his head sideways inside.
It's been a while since I've been here, and Yan Su was a little incredulous and even a little scared at first, but she told her a little treasure every day, told her stories, sang, and teased her, which gradually soothed her inner anxiety and fear.
Although it is a little difficult to accept that she worships her mother, "Yan Wei", who is afraid of indifference and ruthlessness, she has become the lively and cute little girl "Yan Jing" who shouts "Xiaobao" sweetly one by one.
It was difficult for her to connect the two of them, and it was difficult for her to call her sister without any guilt.
Later, when Yan Su woke up again, it was already dark, and the family was happy for Yan Luji's return, although her mother-in-law Ye Qingmei complained a little about him for leaving their mother and daughter without news for so many days, but it was about her daughter's future and fate, she still forgave him this time, and she was also very curious, what did the immortal master say to him.
It was that Yan Su was still in a comatose state, and Yan Su didn't know anything about what the immortal master and his father Yan Luji said, and they hadn't talked about it since then.
Yan Su only knew that after she woke up, her father Yan Luji gave her a big name, in the past, the names of the children in the village were taken by the teacher in the village after the age of one, he was one of the few people in this place, literate people, so most of the children's parents gave them cheap names or nicknames, originally planned that Yan Su was also named like this, but now the immortal master directly gave her a name, which made them and the couple very excited.
Originally, Yan Su was also very curious about what name the mysterious immortal master gave her, but she didn't expect that the immortal master took the same name as hers, but it was not Yan Su (su) but Yan Su (xiu).
"The immortal master said, Su, take the meaning of the stars, since the birth of this child deviated from the destiny track, her fate is unknown, the future is bleak, both in the previous life, do not know the future life, the future road to her own creation, not to do the day, not to do the moon, to open up her own world containing the sun, moon and stars"
Word by word, fell on her ear, in a trance, she seemed to see a hazy figure, sitting in front of her, obviously close at hand, but as if thousands of miles away, he sat in front of her, she looked up but couldn't see clearly, couldn't see the face, at that moment she was as small as a speck of dust under his sleeve.
"In the name of the stars, give you a new meaning, you are a destined person, the future will be full of dangers, all kinds of tribulations, and you are destined to not have a smooth life."
"For the answer in your heart, pursue the truth you want, create your own way, and realize your own righteousness!"
In the next second, a dazzling white light exploded, Yan Su subconsciously closed her eyes, opened her eyes the next second, and came back to her senses to find that she had already lay back in the cradle, and the surrounding parents had fallen asleep, but Yan Su was immersed in the picture just now, and couldn't come back to her senses for a long time.
Destined...... people?
Yan Su silently recited these four words in her heart, and she was almost out of breath due to the weight.
When she woke up again, she was woken up by a scream, and when she opened her eyes, she found herself being held in her arms and running in the sea of fire, surrounded by collapsed earthen houses, the sky was covered with dark and dreary crows, obscuring the sky, and in the distance was her home, the big banyan tree that was about to be burned down she recognized at a glance.
Before she could react, she saw a flock of black crows shuttling past her house, and the houses and trees that were still standing in the flames were all reduced to powder and piled up on the ground.
When Yan Su saw this real scene, her pupils suddenly shrank, her face turned pale, she couldn't believe that she just slept for a while, and then opened her eyes, was this hellish place still the poor and backward Yanjia Village the day before, but also lived a stable life?
At this moment, she was being held tightly in her mother's arms, and through the swaddling clothes that wrapped her, she could clearly feel her mother's trembling, and trembling with great fear.
And her father hugged her sister while protecting her mother and running away the crows for her.
As soon as he touched the crow, the wooden stick with the thickness of his forearm was eroded, and the piece he touched rotted and fell.
There were constant wails of pain, the cries of children, and the roars of adults.
What the hell is going on?!
Yan Su watched a somewhat familiar woman, chased by several crows, and the next second, before she had time to shout for help, a group of crows swarmed up and wrapped her, the sound stopped abruptly, and when the crows left, the woman disappeared out of thin air, and there was a small pile of gray-white powder on the ground.
The cries of the crowd and the sound of her mother's violently beating heart all continued to hit her.
"Bang!" "Bang!" "Bang!"
There was a sudden sound of explosion, and with the sound of explosion, the sky suddenly brightened, and crows fell to the ground, and as soon as those crows landed, they turned into black smoke and dissipated.
Before Yan Su could see what was going on, suddenly an angry roar sounded in his ears, like a sentence shouted with all his might.
In the next second, Yan Su's eyes lit up, and her body was also in a state of weightlessness, as if she realized something, an inexplicable despair surged into her heart, she struggled and cried, and then fell into a strange embrace.
