Chapter 421: A Family of Three
In the early morning, the sun shines over the mountains and on the earth, and the dew drops reflect a crystal gold, like jewels, slowly evaporating and finally disappearing.
Ang Lee sat in the mountains, a bonfire burning in front of him, and the two crocodiles had been roasted golden.
Most of the creatures in the Tenth Heavenly Domain have been taken away by Heavenly Court, but there are also a small number of them, when Heavenly Court searched for wild spirits everywhere in the mountains, they were hidden because of the nature of wild beasts, and they have been left behind to this day.
Otherwise, if Li An wanted to find some rations, he would have to travel far and go to the Ninth Heaven Domain.
When the war would break out, Li An didn't know, he fell into a boring wait, silently practiced, felt the slow evolution of the mysterious substance in the grinding plate of life and death in his body, watched the sun rise and set every day, and watched the dew condense and volatilize.
His heart inexplicably got a kind of peace, and he learned a lot from this boring and boring time.
Take a bite of crocodile meat, let the fat linger in your mouth, and feel the deliciousness of this world.
Today is another great day.
……
Today is another great day.
For Shangguan Shengxian, today is a special day.
Early in the morning, she carried a bamboo basket, wore ordinary linen clothes, and left the house, when she left, Xiao Changqing had to stick to her and go out with her, Shangguan Shengxian had no choice but to go out with Xiao Changqing.
Xiao Changqing had two pigtails on his head, and a small bamboo basket in his hand, holding Shangguan Shengxian's clothes, and went to the street together, the town was very lively, and everything was sold on the street, Xiao Changqing was very happy to see it.
Looking at the rattle on the left and the old man's sugar painting on the right, he bared his white teeth and laughed all the way, and finally he stopped in front of a vendor carrying a string of rock sugar gourds, and could no longer walk.
"Changqing, do you want it?"
Shangguan Shengxian asked.
Xiao Changqing secretly swallowed a mouthful of saliva, but shook his head and said, "No, mother...... Xiao Changqing doesn't like to eat sugar, it's too sweet, and his teeth will break. ”
"Mother, let's buy you beautiful flower cloth to wear!"
He took his mother's rough hand and walked forward, shaking his head as he walked: "Wang Yaya always says that her mother is ugly, and her mother is not ugly, and her mother just wants to raise Changqing and Daddy, so she has no money to buy new clothes to wear - Mother is the best-looking!" ”
When Shangguan Shengxian heard this, her expression was quite complicated, how beautiful she used to be, as a Da Luo Jin Immortal, what kind of posture did she want? But since she lived in seclusion here, she has really completely sealed her self-cultivation, and her appearance has become like an ordinary woman, living a mortal life, just a few years, her face has been covered with ashes of firewood, rice, oil and salt, and the corners of her eyes are also engraved with sweet and sour marks.
Even her figure has become bloated, and she looks like a middle-aged and blessed woman.
If her opponents knew that she was like this now, I'm afraid she would laugh off her big teeth, right?
"Changqing, does Wang Yaya often bully you?"
However, she didn't care about her beauty and ugliness, but was keenly aware of it.
"No, it's just that she said that our family is too poor and that I can't afford to marry her in the future...... Hmph, I don't like her at all, and I'm ignoring her this month. ”
When Shangguan Shengxian heard this, he couldn't help but laugh, these two children often play together, and they are used to playing at home or something, and they also talk nonsense, which is funny.
It's just that the smile has not fallen, and an inexplicable look of guilt has appeared in her eyes, and there seems to be a trace of struggle and hesitation, after all, the dust has settled, and said: "Changqing, today is your first birthday, my mother brought you to the street, just to buy you delicious food, fun, whatever you want, my mother will buy it for you!" ”
A light shot out of Xiao Changqing's eyes: "Really? ”
"Yes, don't you want to eat braised pork? And sweet and sour carp isn't it, the last time I went to the restaurant for dinner, you liked it so much......"
"No, mother, I want to eat fried potatoes."
Xiao Changqing opened his mouth sensibly and said, "Hmm...... Add a small piece, a small piece is fine, stinky tofu! ”
Shangguan Shengxian touched his head and said, "Okay, my mother will buy it for you." ”
She took Xiao Changqing into the vegetable market, and sure enough, she bought some potatoes first, to see the freshness of today's pork, she couldn't help but talk to the stall owner about the price for half a day, and finally bought it for a piece of pork belly, and put it on happily, and looked back, but saw that Xiao Changqing didn't know where to go.
People came and went in the vegetable market, and Shangguan Shengxian was suddenly anxious: "Changqing!" ”
She shouted loudly and looked around, but after all, she didn't see Xiao Changqing's figure, and she ran out of the vegetable market and didn't find it, she stomped her feet, gritted her teeth gently, and hesitated to use cultivation.
For many years, she has been hiding here, accompanying the reincarnation of the Evergreen Immortal Venerable, in order not to disturb the other party, she has been completely dormant, and even, living in a small town, she has been molested and bullied, but she has endured it, but at this moment, she actually wanted to ......
Use the cultivation!
"Mother!"
But at this time, a childish voice not far away had sounded, Shangguan Shengxian hurriedly turned his head, only to see Xiao Changqing standing not far away, she hurriedly ran over, took Xiao Changqing into her arms, and then slapped Xiao Changqing's ass twice, and said, "Where did you run!" ”
Xiao Changqing didn't cry either, "Mother, the stinky tofu over there is so fragrant and fragrant......"
Shangguan Shengxian glanced not far away, a hawker was frying black stinky tofu, her eyes were slightly complicated, and then she took Xiao Changqing's hand and went over to buy a large portion for Xiao Changqing.
Xiao Changqing was very happy, and then went home with his mother, and on the way, he obediently helped Shangguan Shengxian carry things.
The mother and son returned to the alley and returned home.
"Woman, are you back?"
In the humble courtyard, under the eaves, an old blind man with gray hair was lying on a chair, unable to even sit up, and asked questions weakly.
"Dad, my mother bought a lot of delicious things today!"
Xiao Changqing ran over excitedly, picked up the pu fan next to him to fan the old man, and then added a piece of stinky tofu, put it in the old man's mouth, and said, "Dad, it's not fragrant!" ”
The old blind man giggled, "Fragrant, fragrant...... Ahem...... cough cough cough ......"
He coughed breathlessly, and Shangguan Shengxian came over and said, "Changqing, you help your mother wash the vegetables, and I'll take your father to drink medicine." ”
"Oh."
Xiao Changqing obediently picked up the dishes and went to the kitchen, Shangguan Shengxian pushed the wooden wheelchair, led the old man into the room, and closed the door with his backhand.
"Madam, I'm dying......"
The old man spoke with difficulty, his blind eyes looked at Shangguan Shengxian's appearance vacantly, the old man's hand trembled and stretched out, put it on Shangguan Shengxian's hand, and said, "I have wronged you." ”
"I'm sorry you two ......"
"There are no grievances, no sorrys, all this is what I am willing."
Shangguan Shengxian spoke, she lowered her head, looked at the old man, and said: "It's just Xiao Changqing, he has been weak since he was a child, and the doctor in the town said that he may not live to be ten years old......"
The old man cried weakly.
"I have a home remedy that may work......"
"What remedies?"
"That home remedy says that the relatives who have just died contain many things, and if the child eats them, they can cure all kinds of diseases......"
The old man suddenly shook her hand excitedly and said, "Madam, I'm ...... Use me! ”
"Let Xiao Changqing live, he is our only child, you must save him......"
He moved his qi and blood, and the whole person seemed to be unable to breathe, and he held Shangguan Shengxian's hand tightly: "Give it to him......"
The old man died slowly, no longer moving, but in his eyes, which had been blind for many, many years, cloudy tears still rolled down his cheeks......
……
Shangguan Shengxian asked Xiao Changqing to go to the study to write, and then she started cooking.
At ten o'clock in dinner, she let Xiao Changqing come out of the study, Xiao Changqing took a stack of yellow straw paper, and said: "Mother, Changqing has practiced Yongzi well today, I heard the gentleman in the private school say that as long as you can write Yongzi well, other words can also be written......
Shangguan Shengxian touched Xiao Changqing's head and said, "Really good." ”
"Sit down and eat."
Xiao Changqing said: "Mother, where is Dad?" Doesn't he eat again? ”
"Yes, he's too tired, he's resting, and I'll go to the room in a while."
Xiao Changqing nodded, and then sniffed deeply, the braised pork, braised lion's head, fried potatoes, etc. on the table were rare and hearty, Xiao Changqing was very greedy, first picked up a meat ball, put it in the bowl of Shangguan Shengxian, and said: "Mother has worked hard, mother eats meat." ”
Shangguan Shengxian was stunned for a moment, but he took him back and said, "My mother is not feeling well today, I can't eat meat, Changqing, it's all made for you today." ”
"Eat quickly, otherwise my mother will be unhappy."
She kept a straight face, Xiao Changqing's eyes rolled, and said, "Okay, then Changqing is ready to eat!" ”
He began to eat, and the meatballs were eaten one by one, Xiao Changqing was going to eat a few, so he said that he was full and left it to his mother, so that his mother had no excuse, but he didn't know what was going on, he was a little involuntarily, one after another, and after a while, he ate all the plates of meat balls.
"It's so supportive, mother......"
Xiao Changqing raised his eyes, looked at Shangguan Shengxian, and said, "Mother, I can't eat." ”
Shangguan Shengxian was looking at him, his eyes were calm and cold like never before.
"Mother...... You're angry, it's all Changqing who is too greedy, don't blame Changqing, okay? ”
He pulled Shangguan Shengxian's sleeves, and the coldness that finally condensed in Shangguan Shengxian's eyes gradually cracked again, and finally sighed slightly, and said, "Mother doesn't blame you, whether you are sleepy or not, go to sleep if you are sleepy." ”
Xiao Changqing did feel very sleepy, he nodded, and said, "Mother, you have to eat all the braised pork, I don't like to eat it next time, Xiao Changqing is a picky eater!" ”
Seeing him return to his room, Shangguan Shengxian's eyes inexplicably appeared a look of pain, obviously for so many years, the calculation is for today, everything will be successful, but she has an inexplicable reluctance and can't bear it......
"The path of immortality is narrow......"
She whispered, a faint magic light in her eyes, she was here to guard, and only when Xiao Changqing almost fell asleep did she get up and push the door into Xiao Changqing's room.
He passed out in a coma, unconscious, and in no pain......
Thinking like this in her heart, she walked over, uncovered the quilt on the child's body, and gently untied Xiao Changqing's clothes.
From Xiao Changqing's arms, a cloth ball was suddenly pulled out, and it was a beautiful colored cloth.
Shangguan Shengxian was stunned.
In his sleep, Xiao Changqing seemed to sense something, his little hand held the flower cloth, and muttered with his small mouth: "My mother wears flower clothes, the most beautiful...... I still have two cents left in my pocket money, and I can't afford to eat stinky tofu......"
Shangguan Shengxian's whole body trembled suddenly, she stared at the sleeping child on the bed, his serene face, Shangguan Shengxian's raised hand, as if it was pulled by thousands of mountains, and it couldn't fall at all......
"The path of immortality is narrow, all of this is just my inner demon...... It's just a demon in my heart, after I kill it, I will see the avenue! ”
She raised her hand again.
Drop it again!
Lift it again!
Putting it down again......
If Li An saw this scene, I am afraid he would also be extremely surprised, he would never have imagined that Shangguan Shengxian, who was ruthless and calculating everything, would one day be soft and thoughtful!
After a long stalemate, Shangguan Shengxian's hand finally slowly put down, and said, "The demons in my heart are hard to overcome, and it is indeed not easy for me to kill you with my own hands." ”
"Out of sight is pure, when you die, I'll come again!"
Turning around and going out of the door, Shangguan Shengxian closed the door tightly and locked the door of the courtyard.
Shangguan Shengxian is very sensible, she knows that she gave birth to a child for the reincarnation of Evergreen Immortal Venerable, after all, it is maternal disorder, so she disturbs her mind and her killing intent is not strong, but she will not be hindered by this kind of thing.
Wait for Shangguan Changqing to starve to death here.
She came back again.
She walked out on the street, there was a lot of people, she found a random tea shop and ordered a bowl of tea to drink, and all kinds of shouts on the street came into her ears.
"Rattle, the bones of spirit animals make rattles......"
"Rock Sugar Gourd ......"
"Stinky Tofu ......"
Her heart was inexplicably a little disturbed, and she took a sip of bitter tea, but her heart was still not quiet.
"That's not right!"
Suddenly, Shangguan Shengxian's brows furrowed slightly, if it was simply because of Shangguan Changqing, she shouldn't be so upset......
She seemed to be alert to something, and suddenly, her aura suddenly changed, and the middle-aged woman who was drinking inferior and astringent tea in the tea shop suddenly had thousands of mysterious qi machines emerge, and the Da Luo immortal light lingered, making all the tea guests around, and even the cultivators in the entire town, tremble instantly!
It's just that at this moment, in Shangguan Shengxian's eyes, two immortal lights have already emerged, piercing through the netherworld.
As far as her eyes went, in the sky on all sides of this town, it was clear that there were already Da Luo-level powerhouses guarding it, and she ......
It's been surrounded!
"Not good!"
Shangguan Shengxian's heart jumped violently, her figure disappeared directly from the tea shop, and then appeared in the small courtyard of the family.
In the small courtyard, there is already one more man.
The man was holding a blood-colored small sword in his hand, and the sword body had already passed through Xiao Changqing's heart, and Xiao Changqing's body was slowly withering and turning into a small dried corpse!
An Li!
He's already here.
He took matters into his own hands.
Killed Shangguan Changqing!
His eyes were so calm, so cold, he looked at Shangguan Shengxian and said, "This sword is from Li Antai." ”
"You once killed his beloved wife Gu Hong, and today, I will avenge him--"
As the head of the Taoist sect, there was not the slightest guilt on his face for killing children, only an incomparable firmness and calmness!
And Shangguan Shengxian ......
At this moment, her delicate body trembled inexplicably, she looked at the dry corpse, and her eyes erupted with surging emotions like a volcano, which was unspeakable sadness!
Hot tears flowed from Shangguan Shengxian's eyes for the first time!
……
Good night.
