Chapter 104, I don't know the years

As soon as Xu Ke left the tenth-floor pavilion, he saw that he was in a vast ocean. He floated among the waves, and after a long time, he woke up in front of a sandy beach. At this moment, he followed a red jiri horse monkey to several brightly lit rooms, and saw the woman in purple shirt sitting alone in front of the window, and couldn't help but feel a little strange in his heart.

He knew that in this space, the other party would not see him, so he gently walked to the window and heard the woman in the purple shirt seem to be talking to herself:

"San Lang, say goodbye to Yunmeng Island, I don't realize that it has been half a year in a hurry, are you okay in Chang'an?"

"Tonight is another full moon, you said okay, every full moon night, you want to meet me here, but for six consecutive full moon nights, I haven't been able to wait for your news!"

"San Lang, do you know that I am pregnant with your child, and in three months, our child will come to this world, I think a lot, the child can meet his father as soon as he is born, but ...... Ahem!"

The woman in the purple shirt sighed sadly and looked up at the cold moonlight outside the window.

Xu Ke saw that the woman's abdomen was obviously bulging at this time, and it was obvious that she was not less than six months pregnant.

When he saw that the woman in the purple shirt was full of lovesickness and a look of grievance, he couldn't bear it in his heart, and then comforted him softly:

"This girl, you are pregnant, you need to live and rest! Who is your 'San Lang'? Where is he now? Do you want me to help you call him ......?"

Naturally, no matter how Xu Ke spoke, the woman in the purple shirt didn't notice it at all.

Xu Ke couldn't bear to see the purple-shirted woman's mournful gaze, so he quietly walked away and walked around the side of the house.

In the sky, a bright moon is shining in the sky, the moonlight is like water in front of the house and behind the house quietly flowing, the surrounding is quiet, in the quiet moonlight, it seems that only the sigh of the woman is heard, from time to time......

Xu Ke lowered his head and thought as he walked:

Who is the "San Lang" that this girl is talking about? Could it be that he is the emperor she saw in the daytime?

The emperor he saw during the day, he looked like he was decades ago, how could he appear here?

During the day, the emperor still stayed with this girl, why was she the only one left at night?

A few hours ago, I saw this girl with a slender figure and a thin appearance, how could she be six months pregnant at this moment?

That's right, it's all an illusion again, but why did I see these visions in the Divine King's Pavilion? Where is that mysterious White Old Pavilion Master at this time? What the hell does he want me to do?

Xu Ke scratched his forehead and thought about it for a long time, but he still had no clue in his heart. At this time, in the room next to her, the light was suddenly blown out, and the woman in the purple shirt seemed to be about to undress and go to bed.

Xu Ke hurriedly turned around and retreated, and walked away from the distance......

Time flies, the night has passed, and when the sun rises in the east, Xu Ke wakes up on a smooth boulder.

It was another good day, and after Xu Ke got up early, he remembered what he saw when he chased the Akajiri horse monkey last night, and then ran to the front of the rooms last night, thinking about going to see the purple-shirted woman again.

Unexpectedly, he searched according to the direction of last night, but he couldn't find any trace of those rooms, and the purple-shirted woman who was pregnant with Liujia also disappeared.

Xu Ke couldn't help but feel slightly disappointed, somehow, in his heart, he had regarded the purple-shirted woman as someone he was extremely close to. Although he and the woman in the purple shirt had only met for the first time, when he saw her full of sadness and sighs, he couldn't help but feel sad in his heart......

The woman in the purple shirt could not be found, but a thunderous sound sounded in Xu Ke's abdomen. Strangely, in this layer of space, the sun rose and the moon set, he felt the change of time, and there was also a feeling of hunger and thirst in his stomach.

Xu Ke was overjoyed, he looked left and right, and saw that this was a small island with beautiful scenery, the island was not large, in the middle of the sea, surrounded by boundless seawater.

The island is covered with trees and aquatic plants, and a small river meanders through it, and along the small river grows coconut trees, plum trees, cherry trees, plum trees, palm trees, and many other unknown fruit trees.

Xu Ke picked up a few round and big coconuts scattered on the ground, struck them away with his right hand, and drank them openly.

He flew up to the plum tree again, picked many red and purple plums, put them in his mouth and chewed them, only to find that the taste of the plums was sweet and sour, and the fun was endless.

Compared to the days in the tenth-floor pavilion, Xu Ke suddenly felt like he was in heaven at this time.

In the tenth-floor pavilion, he does not know hunger and thirst, does not know cold and warmth, does not feel tired, hardly has any sense of existence, and does not get any pleasure of existence.

Here he finally felt hunger, thirst, cold, fatigue, and sleepiness clearly...... It was only these real feelings that made him clearly aware of himself...... Alive, existing!

In the tenth-floor pavilion, he didn't feel any change in time, trapped in a single space day after day, unable to do anything, meaningless in doing anything, bored to the point of almost driving him crazy.

When a person, no matter what point in time he is, he has nothing to do. Whatever he wanted to do, he would feel pointless. He doesn't have any needs, nothing that makes him feel satisfied...... But the time he has is endless, and he can always live like this.

If you were to be in such a state of life, would you be willing?

For Xu Ke, there is no doubt that such a life is simply suffering!

Now, in this layer of space, he finally returned to the feeling of a normal person, the tiredness and drowsiness he felt last night, and the thirst and hunger he felt again this morning, these feelings are all real, because of exhaustion, he feels the sweetness of sleep, because of hunger and thirst, he feels the sweetness of melons and fruits. In his heart, how could he not be overjoyed!

Xu Ke touched his stomach, feeling dissatisfied. When he went to the seashore, he saw that there were fish swimming in the sea from time to time, and there was no netting fishing gear around him, so he took out the broken sword on his back and threw it at a slightly larger pomfret bream, and the long sword flashed like lightning, passed through the sea, and plunged into the belly of the pomfret bream.

After Xu Ke cleaned and scaled the pomfret bream, he learned the method of barbecuing the mandarin fish at the foot of Yushan that day, set up a tripod with wooden branches, put the cleaned fish on the wooden bars, and built a fire to grill it repeatedly. Soon, the fragrance of fish came in bursts......

After roasting the fish until the skin of the fish was browned, Xu Ke estimated that the heat was almost there, so he took off the fish body, tore off a large piece of fish meat and put it in his mouth, and chewed it slowly.

The body of the fish is constantly soaked and cleaned in the seawater, and it has experienced the tumbling and roasting of the fierce fire, which is already charred on the outside and tender on the inside, and the fish fat is overflowing.

At this moment, he was on a lonely island, facing the vast sea, holding a charred pomfret bream, and he ate it with relish......

Xu Ke suddenly heard a "squeak" sound from behind him, and looked back to see that the Akajiri horse monkey that smashed his head with a coconut yesterday had been sitting behind him for some time. The horse monkey looked at the grilled fish in Xu Ke's hand, and gestured with both hands, as if he was greedy for the fish in Xu Ke's hand.

"You monkey, you also like to eat meat!" Xu Ke made fun of it, then ripped off a large piece of fish meat and gave it to the horse monkey. The Akajiri horse monkey reached out and took the fish, and after only three strokes and five divisions by two, he opened his mouth and ate it cleanly, without even spitting out the bones.

Xu Ke saw that the horse monkey liked to eat fish so much, so he casually threw the remaining half of the fish body to the horse monkey. The Akajiri horse monkey took the half of the fish body, seemed to make a gesture to Xu Ke, and went with joy......

Xu Ke ate and drank to his heart's content, picked a flat boulder, and then lay down on his back to the sky, and fell asleep under the warm sunlight.

After waking up, it was already evening, Xu Ke drank a few mouthfuls of spring water on the island, went to the beach to fork a big fish, raised a fire and barbecued again.

Not long after it was roasted, the Akajiri horse monkey came again, Xu Ke smiled, then ripped off half of the fish body and threw it to the horse monkey.

This time, the Akajiri horse monkey took the fish, but did not go far, but sat on the beach by the sea with Xu Ke, this person and a monkey are like half of a team of old friends, overlooking the slanting sun on the seaside, in the afterglow of the sunset, recklessly gnawing on the fragrant fish.

......

Since then, Xu Ke has made his home in this unknown "island".

When he was thirsty, he drank the spring water of the island, and when he was hungry, he went to pick wild fruits from the trees, and there were countless fish in the sea, and with a wave of his sword, he could take a big fish, boiled or barbecued, and eat it with pleasure!

When he is tired of eating fish, there are many shellfish, shrimps, crabs, turtles and turtles and so on beside the rocks by the sea, which can be caught and cooked to meet his different taste needs.

From time to time, some hares, roe deer, and deer will emerge from the island, and Xu Ke will occasionally hit one, wash and soak it in seawater, and then raise a fire to grill. Every time he cooks food, the aroma attracts the Akajiri horse monkey. Naturally, Xu Ke did not hesitate to share these foods with horse monkeys.

The sun rises and the moon falls, the tide rises and falls, and Xu Ke no longer knows how long he has been on the island. Fortunately, with the company of the Akajiri horse monkey, Xu Ke was not too lonely.

After that, no matter how Xu Ke walked around the island, he did not see the emperor Li Chongsheng and the purple-shirted woman, and even the few houses he saw that night disappeared together.

Xu Ke had lived on the island for a long time and had nothing to do, so he used his long sword to cut down the trees, cut many thick rattans, and built a simple wooden house for himself. As a child, he grew up in the countryside of Jiangnan and saw carpenters build houses, using giant logs for beams, fine wood for rafters, rattan for wood wrapping, and roofs covered with branches and banana leaves. In this way, every rainy day, Xu Ke finally has a place to hide from the rain.

After Xu Ke had a wooden house, he also had a home. After that, he continued to widen and strengthen the wooden house, and made himself a simple wooden bed out of wood, on which he plopped with blades of grass, and slept comfortably at night.

On several occasions, he invited his only friend on the island, the Akajiri horse monkey, to his cabin. He hoped that the horse monkey would live with him in the house from now on, so that he would not suffer from the wind and rain again. However, after the Akajiri horse monkey squeaked at him, he still jumped away. It seems that the nature of the monkey still likes to leap between the mountains and wilderness, and he doesn't care much about anything other than the food cooked by Xu Ke.

Spring goes to autumn, cold comes and summer, and I don't know how much time has passed. One day, Xu Ke took a self-portrait of himself in the spring water, and suddenly saw an unkempt and sloppy face exposed in the water. He was startled for a moment, and hurriedly looked behind him, but where was there half a figure?

After a pause, he looked at the water again, and laughed dumbly, wasn't the unkempt man in the water himself? After a dozen months, he had become a sloppy man with long hair and a long beard!

In desperation, Xu Ke had to take out the broken sword on his back again, cut off the beard under the chin, trimmed the messy hair on his head, and found a waterhole, which was painful

Almost took a shower.

That night, there were no stars or moons on the island, only heavy rain. Xu Ke was lying on a wooden bed full of blades of grass, sleeping soundly, his forehead ached, and he was woken up by a "hard object".

Xu Ke hurriedly turned over and sat up, he looked at the coconut on the bed, and smiled bitterly at the Akajiri horse monkey who had just come in front of the bed: "Brother Monkey, you want to play with me, can't you play with me tomorrow during the day?"

The Akajiri horse monkey pointed to the outside of the house, and his mouth "squeaked" continuously, as if calling Xu Ke to follow him. The horse monkey jumped and walked out of the house......

Xu Ke rubbed his sleepy eyes, and had to follow the red jiri horse monkey out of the house. This person and a monkey walked briskly in the heavy rain, and after walking for a meal, Xu Ke suddenly saw another burst of lights in the distance.

"Huh, it's an illusion again...... Xu Ke was overjoyed, and immediately strode forward and came to a place not far from the light.

If he guessed in his heart, the purple-shirted woman from the past should appear in this illusion. He had been on the island for at least a year, and he was a little lonely, even if it was a vision, and he looked forward to seeing the woman in the purple shirt again.

At this time, a child's cry of "Wow!" suddenly came from the rainy night, and Xu Ke couldn't help but be surprised. He thought to himself: On such a rainy night, where did the children cry?

He hurried to the lighted rooms, and through the window, he saw that the bed in the room was almost messy, and that a young woman with thin clothes and disheveled hair was weeping with a child in her arms......

Xu Ke saw the woman with messy hair, took an ordinary pair of scissors, burned the lamp for a while, and then lowered his head and cut off the blood-red umbilical cord in front of the child's navel.

The woman wiped the blood stains on the child's body with a cloth towel, and after wiping it, she wrapped the child in clothes and hugged her tightly in her arms, but the tears in her eyes had already burst out of her eyes and fell on the child's face one by one......

When Xu Ke saw this scene, he was surprised, and unconsciously felt a sense of pity and regret in his heart.

It turned out that this woman had just given birth to her child, but why was she the only one in these rooms, and there was not even a midwife and escort? She had to cut the umbilical cord of her own child with her own hands, which was inevitable...... It's so pathetic!

Xu Ke looked carefully at the thinly dressed woman in front of him, and his face was vaguely the purple-shirted woman who was sitting with Li Chongsheng that day. He couldn't help but scratch his forehead, a little unsure why he saw this vision tonight.

At this time, I heard the woman in the purple shirt as if she was whispering to her child:

"My poor son! My mother didn't want to give birth to you, but she was reluctant to give away your life with her own hands! My mother has no right to stop you from coming to this world, but this world is so cruel to you, you have no father from the beginning!"

You are an innocent child, and from the day you were born, you had to be ridiculed by the world, saying that you were a fatherless child......

"If my mother puts you here, the world here can't tolerate you, and if my mother takes you back to my mother's place, the rules there can't tolerate you, son!

......

Later, the woman hugged the boy in her arms tightly, pressed her face against the boy's face, and couldn't help but burst into tears.

Xu Ke couldn't help but feel sad when he heard the woman so sad, he stretched out his hand and couldn't help but say: "This sister, what about your 'San Lang'? A child can't be without a father? A child without a father will be looked down upon since he was a child, where did he go to your 'San Lang'?"

Just like the previous two times, no matter how Xu Ke spoke, the unkempt woman in front of her still didn't react, she just hugged her newborn boy and sobbed non-stop.

When the woman saw the boy crying incessantly, she knew that he must be hungry, so she picked up her clothes and planned to nurse the child. Xu Ke immediately turned around and walked away with a step back.

At this time, the heavy rain outside the house kept falling, and the sky and the earth were dark. Xu Ke stood in this dim night, feeling the cold rain pouring in from his body. He seemed to feel the same sadness and despair in his heart as the woman......

On a bleak rainy night, in a lonely house, with no one around to take care of her, she gave birth to a child, and this child will be destined to have no father from now on, and will face a bumpy and bitter life journey from now on...... If you don't experience this kind of grief and despair, who in the world can understand it?

Xu Ke paced back and forth in the heavy rain, he knew that the other party could never see him, but he was still anxious and worried in his heart, and he wanted to come forward to comfort him several times.

After a long time, the heavy rain gradually stopped, and Xu Ke turned around again, only to see that the woman in the purple shirt, along with the boy she had just given birth, and the tiled houses, had disappeared.

Xu Ke walked to the original place where the lights were turned on, and stared at the place where the woman was standing, as if the woman and the child were still standing in front of him. He looked up to the sky and sighed, and his heart was as if he was lost......

After that night, Xu Ke still returned to his lonely island life.

He works at sunrise and rests at sunrise, fishes on the seaside, catches animals in the forest, cooks and drinks by himself, so he doesn't know the changes of the island, and he is happy and happy.

The beard under his chin was cut and cut and cut and grown, and the long hair on his head was cut and grown, and was cut and grown......

Until, one day later.
