2. Growing up in temptation
When Shen Xi woke up, he only knew that he was lying in a ravine, looking up at the sky, and the snow fell on his face, Shen Xi was like this land covered by heavy snow, dazed.
An old and energetic voice suddenly sounded in his ears: "Do you want to go with me? ”
Full trafficker tone.
Shen Xi began his life of eating and drinking.
A thatched hut. A table. A set of tea sets. A book. A person who delivers meals.
A room where you can see the sky when you look up, but you can't get in when it's raining or snowing.
A table that is obviously an old tree root that has been cut down, but the hand touches the constant temperature.
A pot and cup that you always have water without adding water and always clean without washing.
A book that opens today is etiquette and righteousness, tomorrow it will become benevolent and wise, and the day after tomorrow it will be weird, the written book will remain unchanged, and the content will be varied.
Delivered meals. Ah, this.
If Shen Xi is a little more stupid, he will really always be alone.
How to say it, there are about three stupid people, who come every day, look exactly the same, walk up, twist and twist, like a fish that has been split off the tail bone fins, forcibly stand, twist and jump, every day is not a rhythm, it is ridiculous, and you have to look at the food in his hand to express his gratitude as much as possible.
This kind of life is what traffickers say, good food and drink, yo.
Ten years have passed like this.
Shen Xi often thinks that he should be the offspring of a heinous villain, why, when he was a child, he could often see the children outside the window playing, and when he was older, he could hear others discussing the scenery outside the village, for example, the outside is not like the village, there are only two seasons, snow and no snow, the village is surrounded by mountains, and the ground is frozen by snow layer by layer of white ice; there are also a lot of green plants outside, according to the change of seasons, growing, falling, and not like the village, are all bare branches, occasionally in the snow season, the ground is white and boundless, looking up and gray branches one by one, mottled and very depressed, like a big cage, Shen Xi was locked inside.
It's not that he can't go out, but when he goes out occasionally, he can always see the people in the village, or hide or dodge the eyes, obviously looking at you, you turn your face and he immediately turns his face away, making you feel that you are having an illusion, but the eyes are too direct, and it is difficult to ignore it; 。
Later, he read the book, and the law said that the ten heinous crimes were the key targets of all dynasties, and nine of them were punished without distinction between the beheadings and the followers, and the remaining one was the crime of injustice, which refers to the killing of more than three people in a family who did not commit capital crimes at one time, and the criminals were beheaded regardless of their heads, and their wives and children flowed for 2,000 miles.
The crime of injustice is often punished together with the crime of great rebellion, which refers to plotting to endanger the community, plotting to destroy the temple, The mountains and palaces, that is, the intention to subvert the imperial power, such a big event, it must be accompanied by the crime of immorality, killing more than three people who did not commit capital crimes, and then beheading the prisoners together regardless of the head, to a great rebellion, so I was left with one person, exiled here, on the way to exile, rescued by the village chief, the village chief is lonely and widowed, compassionate, see me pitiful, give me a house, send someone to monitor, send someone to send three meals a day, although it does not restrict my freedom too much, but most of the people in the village are afraid that they are all aware, otherwise the expression on their faces will not be uncontrollable, or afraid, rightShen Xi propped up the table and silently guessed at the little pink snake on the ground.
The little pink snake twisted his body, as if he understood, nodded and shook his head, trying to swing his tail and want to climb onto the table, but he slipped and slid down, Shen Xi was inexplicably funny, these days, Shen Xi's house, there will always be little pink snakes, at most there are four, squatting at Shen Xi's feet, there is a little pink snake really has to go to the toilet to follow, the other three will always be missing, at first Shen Xi will always be a little worried, but the little snake always comes back at night, but it is natural, the most important thing is that whenever Shen Xi says something, they will nod and shake their heads in agreement, I don't know if I understand or not, but this snake always looks like I understand everything, so the fear and fright of seeing the snake at the beginning have disappeared after a long period of companionship.
With a squeak, the village chief pushed the door in, and ten years later, the traffickers were still full of energy. It's a pity that there is no one like himself to pick it up for him anymore, Shen Xi thought, and this door, tsk, there is only about one decorative function left.
The village chief is a thin and small old man, his face is yellow and dull from the first time they met, the eyebrows on his face are sagging and drooping, and he always trembles when he speaks, whenever he goes out of the house, there are always uncles and aunts who care about how his face is getting worse and worse, he always says that he hasn't slept well, and Shen Xi looks left and right, it has always been dry yellow and dull, Shen Xi thought, wow, adults have a pair of eyes that see through everything.
"Brother, in a few days it will be the day you are crowned, and I have asked the elders of the clan to crown you and pick the words, okay?" The village chief brushed his swaying eyebrows, and his words seemed to be deliberate.
Isn't it true that the village chief is old and forgot that I was a prisoner? Or, could it be that the village chief had an old age and had forgotten that I was a prisoner? Or, could it be that the village chief had an old relationship with my parents?
Yes, otherwise, how could a barren land covered in ice and snow, and a ravine, happen to find me?
"My Father's Majesty has already made arrangements. Shen Xi tentatively spoke, his tone firm.
He suddenly thought that when he followed the village chief, he didn't know his name, and the village chief insisted that my surname was Shen Mingxi, and my whole family could commit the crime of the Great Dao, and I was the only one left, so I was not a flat-headed person, and I definitely couldn't call my father, and I didn't count it as a rebellion, and the whole family died, and it wasn't a prince, let alone my father, so I tried it with my father, I guess I was also a big family.
This title can't be remembered for something, right? No wonder he usually stays at home, which is completely different from his previous personality, could it be that he feels guilty? The village chief didn't pick up Shen Xi's words in time, and he was thinking about how to answer.
Shen Xi felt a sigh in his heart, wow, I am really the first representative of wisdom throughout the ages, I am afraid that I guessed seven or eight points, if it is just ordinary and old, I must have opened my mouth when I saved me, and I didn't mention the past ten years, then it must be for me, what is it? I have nothing, or is it that my parents have been entrusted? Or, the village chief has some involvement? Bet one.
"Although it will be crowned, it is not enough. "Although I'm about to be crowned an adult, no matter what it is, if you want to call me, I'm not that powerful, village elder, you have to think about it.
"Originally, the day of the coronation was also the time of the new moon, if you can remember anything, it will not be in vain for these ten years, if you have no memory, for the little old man..." ”
The three words of Xiao Lao'er, this ten years with me is stable, ten years with me safe, I hope that the rest of my life will be smooth before I hope that I have no memory of the old man, in front of me suddenly lowered the identity, let me feel a sting in my heart, for me now as a prisoner, how the status and rights of my parents in the past have nothing to do with me, originally wanted to use the old love to let the village chief let me out, a little calmer.
"I understand. Shen Xi paused, "Grandpa the village chief, you can arrange the crowning." ”
There seemed to be tears flashing in the village chief's eyes, stinky boy, obviously he didn't think of anything, hum, covered his face and threw his sleeves away.
Shen Xi looked at the back of the village chief who was getting more and more high-spirited, and thought silently,
No, what detail was missed?
The village chief's reaction is not right.
What's wrong?
