Chapter 20: The Truth

looked at the woman with empty eyes, and then looked at the flying head demon opposite, Ying Wuxin's eyelids drooped, and pursed his lips slightly.

"Don't you want to find your mother?" asked Ying Wuxin in a calm tone as much as possible.

The flying head demon was stunned, "Lele wants to play during the day." ”

His face changed, and Ying Wuxin shouted in his heart, this monster turned out to be like this, he didn't look for his mother until night, it was only noon, did he have to wait until night? The illusion he applied was not enough to make the villagers sleep until that time.

Thinking of something, Ying Wuxin put his hand behind his back and made a gesture to Wang Banxian, who was hiding in the village and watching.

"Uncle, auntie, are you playing with me?" the head of the flying head demon shook from side to side, still asking.

At noon, clouds moved from afar, quickly obscuring the sun, and the whole village was plunged into darkness.

"It's dark now. Ying Wuxin's hands moved slightly, and his mouth was whispered at the same time.

The head of the flying head demon looked left and right, and the brown pupils flashed with an innocent light, "Mother-"

Ying Wuxin quietly snapped his fingers, then retreated, and his body disappeared into the darkness.

The woman's body shook, her eyes blinked, and she soon had a look, a touch of anxiety flew on her face, and she shouted eagerly: "Lele, where are you, my mother is here, my mother is here, and I will never be separated from you again." ”

"Mother!"

The Flying Head Demon approached happily, and its three-foot-tall body came out of the river and soon reached the shore.

"Lele, my mother's good child, come to my mother's arms. The woman shouted earnestly to the front.

"Mother-" The flying head demon pounced quickly, and in the process of approaching, the black mist on his body rose and gradually drifted away, and his long neck was also shortening at a speed visible to the naked eye, and the swollen skin on his face that was blistered gradually returned to its normal state, and water continued to flow down his body.

Yizhang Flying Head Demon turned into an innocent and cute eight or nine-year-old boy, with a happy smile, and threw himself into the woman's arms, "Mother, Lele finally saw you-"

"Lele, Lele, my mother is sorry for you, I'm sorry for you, it's my mother who hurt you-" The woman hugged her son tightly in her arms, crying bitterly and repenting.

"Mother, Lele is very happy to see you, this is my last wish, and now it is finally satisfied, Lele is leaving-" After speaking, Lele left the woman's arms and gradually disappeared into the darkness.

"Leleβ€”"

The woman fell to her knees and reached out to grab it, but she didn't catch anything, and she could only cry out in grief, her voice hoarse.

"Send your mother back, I'll wait for you here. In the direction of Lele's departure, a word came.

Ying Wuxin showed up, came to the woman's side, and said in a heavy tone: "Tell me what happened three years ago?"

The woman sat on the ground, stunned in a daze, and muttered in her mouth: "Lele is my first child, I raised him like a baby, but a man-made disaster fell from heaven, my husband was questioned by the court, and the whole family had to be sent to the army, I couldn't bear Lele to suffer, so I fled with him to a relative's house to hide." ”

Speaking of this, the woman hid her face again and cried, crying more and more painful and sad, "But my relatives are also in the middle of the road, and I can't support our mother and son, so I have no choice but to marry someone else, and I will be separated from Lele." ”

"Lele misses me, and from time to time he will secretly cross the mountains and mountains to find me when it is dark, but I, as his mother, cannot take him to the house, so that my husband knows all this, and can only see each other outside the village every time. ”

"That night, Lele said that he was thirsty, I returned home to fetch water for him, afraid that he would not follow the village obediently and expose the secret, before leaving, I wrapped his feet with the gourd vine outside the village, and when I returned to the village with the kettle again, I found that Lele was already lying on the groundβ€”β€”"

The woman's shoulders shook violently, and the sobbing became more and more intense, almost out of breath, "It was dark at the time, and I didn't notice that Lele stayed on a dirt slope, and when I came back, the gourd vine somehow wrapped itself around Lele's stomach and hung him under the dirt slope, and there was no movement." ”

"At that time, I felt that the sky was falling, and I wanted to go to the village to look for Langzhong, but the village was too small to have any. Just when I didn't know what to do, Lele's body suddenly changed, and his neck became a foot long, a meter, a zhang, when his neck became a zhang long, and his head twisted over, looking at me, and smiling at me, I was frightened, ran back to the village in one breath, hid in the house, and never dared to go out again. ”

"That night, I heard shouts again and again, but I never had the courage to say again, I am a woman, I killed my own child, turned into a monster, everything is my own guilt, I deserve to die, this is the dragon god punishing me, punishing me ......"

"But I can't help it, I'm just a woman, a woman who needs to hide her identity for her crimes, all I can do is give Lele a way to live, but in the end, I still lost his ......"

"It's over, let's go back. Ying unintentionally sighed and sent the woman back to the village.

"Little Daoist, what is the result?" Wang Banxian caught up and asked with a blank eye.

Ying Wuxin said lightly: "The monster has untied its obsession, and it will follow me for a while, and there will naturally be a harvest." ”

Wang Banxian danced happily, scratched his ears and cheeks, like a monkey, Ying Wuxin sighed slightly, and sent the woman back to his home.

Standing at the door, looking at the dilapidated courtyard, Ying Wuxin's mind came to the woman's husband, the man with a meek and honest face, every time he looked helpless, there seemed to be something hidden under his helpless eyes, but unfortunately he couldn't understand it.

Wang Banxian kept urging behind, but he had no choice but to give up, left in a hurry, and returned to the river again, at this moment the dark clouds had already dispersed, and the summer scene of high clouds and clear skies was restored again.

Lele, who has returned to the appearance of an ordinary eight or nine-year-old boy, stood by the river, looking at the river with a solemn face, looking like an old adult.

"My mother went back, no one knew about me and her, right?" asked Lele.

Ying Wuxin felt uncomfortable for a while, but he still nodded and said: "Don't worry, all the villagers have been pulled into a dream by my illusion, and they won't know, including your mother, they will only think that they have a dream." ”

"If outsiders know that this monster is my mother's child, she will have a hard time in the future, and I am very grateful that you can consider these things in advance and make arrangements. Lele turned around and solemnly made a big salute.

"Purify me. ”

Ying Wuxin's face was expressionless, the seal method in his hand changed, and he pointed at Lele, and the flames rose, completely submerging the three-foot-tall small body.

"Little Daoist, what are you?" Wang Banxian was stunned.

"Because of my obsession with turning into demons, although I have now dispersed the demonic energy, this body is still a scourge, if it is not purified, a radius of a hundred miles, it will become a plague land, and there will be countless deaths and injuries. In the flames, Lele's immature voice said solemnly.

"It's too bad. Wang Banxian lowered his head and couldn't bear to look at it anymore.
