Xu Ke stayed on the island and didn't know how much time had passed. He only felt that spring had gone and autumn had come, as if more than ten years had passed. For more than ten years, he lived alone, and the whole island was deserted except for a monkey to talk to.

Fortunately, the island is sunny and warm, and there is plenty of rain all year round. Although Xu Ke lives on this isolated island, he has water to drink, meat to eat, melons and fruits to taste, a bed to sleep in, and a wooden house to shelter from the wind and rain.

Until one day, the Akajiri horse monkey waved a coconut again, threw it in front of Xu Ke, and motioned Xu Ke to follow him.

Xu Ke knew that the horse monkey must be taking himself to watch the illusion somewhere. He had been bored for more than ten years, and when he saw a mirage to see, he was naturally happy in his heart, and immediately stepped forward and followed the Akajiri horse monkey closely.

Xu Ke followed the horse monkey for more than ten miles, and suddenly saw a village in front of him. I saw that the village was slender and longitudinal, the thatched huts were scattered, and there was a small river in the middle of the village that zigzagged through, and there was a stone arch bridge on the small river...... He couldn't help but scratch his forehead, this scene seemed familiar, and he had vaguely seen it somewhere.

Xu Ke suddenly remembered that this village was not Xujiazhuang in Yuhang County, where he had lived since he was a child? More than ten years had passed, and although the memories of his childhood were far away, that village was still deep in his mind. Xu Ke remembers clearly that his family lived by the small bridge in the center of the village, and the third thatched hut to the east.

Xu Ke saw at first glance that this illusion was actually the Xujiazhuang where he lived as a child, although he knew that this was just an illusion, but he also had infinite emotion in his heart. Seeing Jingsiren, he naturally remembered his parents who had been with him and took care of him when he was a child. At that time, they were a family of three, and although life was difficult, in Xu Ke's heart, as long as he could see his parents every day and have a bite to eat every day, he would be happy and satisfied.

Unfortunately, when he was ten years old, a plague ruthlessly took the lives of his parents. After that, he lived in exile, begging for a living, and later, he came to Hangzhou City to do chores for Fenshuitang, and earned a few food money for himself by selling coolies, so he was lucky to survive......

However, after all these years, he still misses his parents from time to time. He especially misses his mother, in his memory, although his mother is irritable and often beats him, but usually once there is delicious food at home, his mother always has to keep it for him, and in winter, his mother would rather be cold himself, but also give him warm clothes...... From childhood to adulthood, people in this world have always treated him best by his mother.

"A-Niang, in a blink of an eye, Disease-free has spent twenty-one years in this world, don't worry, Mother, Disease-free will definitely live well and live up to your expectations!"

"Mother, father...... I don't know where your souls are now, and how good it would be if you were still in the world! I want to see you again, so that I can serve you and honor you......"

Since the death of his parents, he has left his hometown and lived abroad for many years, and now he suddenly sees this old illusion, and his heart can't help but feel a lot of emotion, and his eyes are slightly moist.

Xu Ke walked to the bridge, and when he was touching the scene, he suddenly saw a short young woman walking towards him, and when he saw it, he immediately exclaimed with joy:

"Mother?...... Ahh

The woman with short stature, short eyebrows, thin eyes, and a slightly chubby face was Xu Ke's mother, Cha.

"Mother...... It's me!No disease!" Xu Ke waved his hands, jumped and ran to Cha's side, and hugged his mother with open arms, but he only hugged an empty one.

I saw Cha walking down from the small bridge, came to the bank of the river, and picked up a large wooden basin from the river. In the wooden basin lay a swaddling baby, and in the swaddling clothes lay a white and chubby little boy, who was sleeping soundly.

"Ahh......h Tut-tut, so handsome!" Cha said happily as he picked up the little boy.

"Huh? There's a flute here? Or is it a flute made of jade......? This jade flute must have been left to the baby by the child's own mother, and I have to keep it for him!" Cha muttered to himself, picked up the jade flute in the wooden barrel, and put it in his arms.

The jade flute is crystal clear and ancient, and the flute is glowing with blue color. When Xu Ke saw it, he immediately remembered that the flute was not the jade flute he had been hiding close to him?

Wait, his mother has repeatedly told him that no matter where he goes, this jade flute must not be separated from anyone, and the flute must not be separated from people, and even his father should not be told. He never thought that the origin of this jade flute was so peculiar.

After Xu Ke saw the jade flute, he immediately thought in his heart: "Could it be that the little boy in the wooden basin is me? In this way, it seems that I am a child picked up by my mother? No wonder my mother cares so much about this jade flute, even my father never knew that I had this personal thing." It turns out that this jade flute is actually a token of my own mother!"

Xu Ke suddenly sighed, and he remembered that when the famine occurred, his family had already been out of food for a long time, and even the grass and leaves and bark in the village had been gnawed away. If the jade flute he was close to him had been sent to the pawnshop in the city at that time, he would have been able to bring some silver, and it would have been easy to solve his urgent need, but at that time, his mother did not touch his jade flute in the most difficult time.

"A-Niang, you didn't hesitate to starve back then, but you also wanted to keep this jade flute for me, you are ...... Why bother!" Xu Ke sighed to himself.

Seeing that Cha had already walked away with the child in his arms, Xu Ke followed his mother back to their hut. As soon as he approached the hut, he suddenly heard a quarrel. He recognized the voice after hearing only one sentence, and the two people arguing were his parents. At this time, his father, Xu Weiliang, loudly rebuked his mother Cha:

"The two of us can't eat enough, why do you want to pick up someone else's child?

"I don't care! I will raise it if I can't feed it! From now on, as long as we have a bite to eat, the child will not be hungry!"

"But this ...... After all, this is someone else's child, why do you want to do so much?"

"What if I don't bring the child over, the tub turns over, and the child falls into the water?!

"This child's own biological parents don't care about him, so why should we care about his life or death?"

"If the child's biological parents don't care, we don't care about it, so will he still have a way to live? Half a mile after the river flows is a big pool, and the pool is full of snakes. If the child is in a waterhole, he will be bitten to death by the snakes if he is not drowned! What is the sin of this child? Why should he be born to die?!"

"You don't go to hug the child, there are so many people in our village, there will always be someone to hug him!"

"What if no one picks him up?"

"Second Brother Zhang from the east of the village, can't his daughter-in-law not be able to give birth to a child?

"No! Second Brother Zhang loves to drink, and his temper is not good, he will beat the child!"

"You're ......!"

......

The two people in the room finally stopped arguing, and then there was a long silence, and Xu Ke couldn't help but fall into memories and contemplation.

It wasn't until today that he knew that his father hadn't been very close to him since he was a child, and he hadn't spoken a few words to him every day, because he wasn't his father's biological child.

However, in my memory, my father Xu Weiliang has always been silent, although he has never been very close to him, but he has never beaten him.

Xu Ke couldn't help but sigh secretly in his heart: "Daddy, the child can't stand you! Because of me, I actually caused your husband and wife to quarrel and discord...... Presumably, you haven't been happy all these years!"

At this time, Xu Ke suddenly saw a purple figure flash on the other side of the river, "It turns out ...... It's her!" He immediately remembered that the slender figure was the purple-shirted woman he had seen earlier.

Xu Ke hurriedly chased after him, only to see that the woman in the purple shirt seemed to be staring at the hut on the other side of the river for a long time, and finally couldn't hold back the tears in her eyes at this moment, lowered her head and ran away.

The purple-shirted woman couldn't help but hide her face and cry while running with her head down, Xu Ke chased her for more than ten miles, and gradually lost her trace. Xu Ke looked back to find the location of "Xujiazhuang", but he was also at a loss.

He knew that this time the illusion had already disappeared when it came here.

Xu Ke lowered his head and walked casually on the edge of the island, he thought back to the illusion he had just seen, and then thought of the previous three illusions, and couldn't help but think crankily in his heart:

"I was picked up by my mother by the river, so who is my biological mother......? Is that the woman in the purple shirt?"

"The woman seemed to be alone

Since one gave birth to a child on a rainy night. After she gave birth to the child, she could not afford to raise it, so she had to abandon the child by the river. She put the child in the wooden basin, and she was not at ease, so she hid by the river and kept watching, until my mother took the child away, and then she cried and left. Thinking about it this way, the woman's heart must have been very sad......"

"Am I really the child she abandoned by the river, and if so, who is my father?"

"I heard her say 'San Lang' again and again, is 'San Lang' really Your Majesty......?

Xu Ke didn't dare to imagine what was going on, and he didn't want to imagine it.

In Xu Ke's heart, he is still a poor boy from Hangzhou, Jiangnan. His father's surname is Xu, called Xu Weiliang, and his mother's surname is Cha, called Cha Hongmei. When today's surname is Li, his name is Li Chongsheng, that is an emperor who reigns over the world, and he is the master of this world, that person has never had anything to do with him, and it is impossible to have anything to do with him!

......

At this time, it was getting late, Xu Ke was depressed in his heart, so he simply didn't even eat dinner, went back to the wooden house, and fell asleep.

After that, Xu Ke lived as usual, working at sunrise, resting at sun, fishing and catching animals, and enjoying himself......

When he got used to it, he settled down on the island and didn't think much about it. As for the four visions he had seen before, he did not think about them, and gradually forgot them......

According to what he thought in his heart, the illusion was nothing more than an illusion, who knew what was going on? Perhaps, it was a joke set up by the old white pavilion master with himself? Xu Ke thought like this, at least, he had never taken those few illusions to heart, nor did he take them seriously.

Time passed in a hurry, day after day, year after year, Xu Ke repeated the same life almost every day.

On several occasions, he thought about swimming out of the sea, trying to find out if there was another way out of the water. But no matter how he floated up and down in the water, and struggled to move forward, he still could not swim out of this sea, and he had nowhere to go except this unknown island at his feet.

He had to stay on the island honestly and live quietly alone.

Since then, he has never seen those visions again, only the Akajiri horse monkey, which still appears beside him from time to time, and sits and eats with him with the barbecue meat in his hand.

Time passed year by year, and in the lonely years, he finally grew old slowly......

Until one day, he took a self-portrait of himself on the water, and suddenly saw that he was already gray hair, and his face was already full of wrinkles. He couldn't help but secretly marvel, he couldn't imagine that he had passed decades on this isolated island in a flash!

In the blink of an eye, he was already dying!

As he grew older, Xu Ke's daily work gradually became a little inadequate. He stuck his sword into the fish and caught the beast with the trap, and he no longer had the sharpness and swiftness of his hands and feet as when he was young.

Fortunately, the island is rich in products, and just those wild fruits on the trees are enough for Xu Ke to eat his stomach. Although he was hunched and unable to move, he still didn't have to worry about starvation.

Unconsciously, it seemed that more than ten years had passed, until one day, Xu Ke finally felt that he was too old to walk.

He knew that his time had come, so he lay on the wooden window, closed his eyes and waited for death.

The sun outside the window was still dazzling, the clouds on the horizon swayed slightly under the sunlight, and the waves came in waves, lapping against the rocks and sand on the shore, making a low sound, as if sighing, a life is about to pass away......

Xu Ke lay on the wooden bed he had built himself, feeling the warm sunshine, the soft breeze, the moist air, and the sound of the waves. He silently recalled his life in his heart, this life was uneventful, spent alone on an island, although it was dull, but he had lived for nearly a hundred years!

Now, it's finally time to leave......

Suddenly, he heard the sound of "squeak" coming from the house, and the Akajiri horse monkey entered the wooden house, and now, the horse monkey was also dying and slow. The horse monkey kept signaling with his hand, as if he wanted Xu Ke to follow it to the beach......
