Mobei boy
The sea of sand is vast.
In the wind, the golden sand fluttered all over the sky, and the heavens and the earth were the same color. In this golden world there was a young man walking alone, dressed in a satin garment, with his mouth and nose covered with silk, and he walked step by step in the soft sand. He had no water, no dry food, and even he himself did not know how long he had been walking like this. Every step seemed like he was going to fall immediately, he was weak, but his eyes were full of hatred.
A strong wind struck, and he closed his eyes with hatred.
Three days earlier, a caravan had entered the desert from the Song Kingdom. This caravan has a total of fifteen people, it is a small caravan, and the leader is a middle-aged man, everyone calls him Wu Boss, this time he took his wife to run the merchant together.
"God, you have to be honest in the desert! if you are not honest, the monsters in the desert will eat you!"
After that, he was grinning and scaring a boy who was less than ten years old. The young man was not afraid, but raised his head and said to him:
"Hmph, I'm not afraid! I'll beat the monster away when it comes!"
As he spoke, he raised his small fist, causing others to laugh out loud.
"Boss Wu, your son is really like you!"
"Yes, one day, I'm not afraid of boredom along the way. ”
Everyone talked about it, Tian'er is the son of Boss Wu, and he is only six years old this year. On weekdays, everyone loves him very much, and he has always been pampered. Tian'er is not afraid of life, and he will not be afraid of anyone he sees. Boss Wu often said that Tian'er is bold, and he must have a future when he grows up.
Boss Wu's wife is a beautiful Mobei woman with a different appearance from the Han people. The two met when Boss Wu took this trade route, when he was still a young man, he fell in love at first sight when he saw this Mobei woman, and the two finally got married after many proposals. Since Boss Wu often took this trade route, she could also go home often.
Among these fifteen people, in addition to Boss Wu's family of three, there were also ten of his men, and the remaining two were guides found in the desert border town. Generally, caravans have fixed guides, but Boss Wu's business is small and he can't afford to hire a fixed guide, but fortunately, this kind of temporary desert guide can be found at any time in the border town. For so many years, Boss Wu has been looking for guides like this, and he can often meet acquaintances, but these two are the first time they have met. Although Boss Wu often takes this trade route, the desert is uncertain, and Boss Wu is a Song person, and he can't figure out the temper of the desert. Even people who grew up in Mobei don't know much about this desert. Only trained and gifted people can move freely through this desert. Of course, if the weather is nice, you may not need a guide. However, once there is a sandstorm, people who were not born in the desert will not be able to get out. At present, this desert is the largest of this trade route, and it will take half a month to get out at the earliest, and it will take more time if there is bad weather.
"Can the two brothers get married?"
"Not yet. ”
The two of them replied in broken Chinese in unison, which was also interesting.
The trade route is very boring in this desert, and the boundless yellow sand will be boring for anyone after watching it for a long time. Only in the evening, when everyone gets together to chat and drink, can the oppressive atmosphere be relieved. Tian'er too, his favorite thing is to get together every night and listen to the adults tell stories.
"That serpent is blocking my path!"
One of Boss Wu's subordinates was telling him about his encounter with a snake in the mountains and forests many years ago, and it was already dark around him, and everyone gathered around the campfire to eat and listen to his story. Tian'er listened most seriously, he believed everything others said, and regarded these stories as if they had really happened.
"Guess what? I picked up the wood knife and cut it in two, and took it home to peel and eat the meat!"
"You're bragging again, every time!"
A middle-aged woman reprimanded him loudly. The man was not annoyed, and said loudly:
"You, you have to debunk whatever a man says. ”、
It turned out that the two were a couple, and others laughed, not because of how wonderful the story was, but because of the man's sense of humor. Tian'er believed it and said to the man:
"Is snake meat delicious?"
The man replied,
"Ah, it's delicious, you have a chance to try it!"
Tian'er bit her finger and looked up at the sky, as if she was wondering what snake meat tasted like. Everyone looked at him and laughed again. Tian'er's mother hugged her, also chuckled slightly, and kissed his little face kindly.
"It's almost time, let's go back and rest. ”
One by one, everyone went back to their tents to rest, leaving two people to keep vigil. Two people in a group, one in a group to keep watch for the middle of the night. Each group has a guide to keep everyone safe. Prevent wild beasts from attacking, but also deal with sudden sandstorms.
Tian'er didn't sleep well this night, tossing and turning, and sleeping hazy all the time. In the haze, he seemed to hear a faint scream, but he couldn't hear it. Looking at the mother next to her, she was still asleep, and Tian'er slept again with a sense of security.
Suddenly, the tent was opened, and Tian'er looked up to see that it was one of the two tour guides. The man didn't pay attention to Tian'er when he woke up, raised his hand and stabbed the sharp knife in his hand into Boss Wu's chest, Boss Wu immediately spat blood, and before he could wake up, the guide stabbed several times in a row. Boss Wu died in his sleep like this. The abnormal movement beside her woke up Tian'er's mother, and when she saw Boss Wu spitting blood in his mouth, she immediately screamed. Tian'er was scared, this was the first time he felt scared. His father, who had always protected him before, is dead, and there is no one to protect him like this, so how can he not be afraid if he loses his dependence. The guide ignored the two of them, he came out of the tent and said to others in Mobei:
"Everyone was killed, and only the hostess and the children were left. ”
"Well, take the woman away, and leave the child to the god of the desert!"
With that, the guide returned to the tent and took away the wife of Boss Wu, who was still in pain. Tian'er stretched out his hand to pull it, but he couldn't pull the man, and he was pulled out of the tent. As soon as he stepped out of the tent, he was slumped to the ground by the sight in front of him. There are corpses lying all over the ground, and these people have been living with Tian'er's family all along. One of the men was still telling a story at dinner, and his woman died next to him.
"Don't take me away, I want my officials and children. ”
"It's a crime for you to marry him, the god of the desert doesn't agree, he must die. ”
Tian'er was already crying speechless, he desperately pulled his mother's clothes, and he really couldn't live without his mother. But the two wicked men lifted his mother, carried her on her shoulders, and walked away, and kicked Tian'er in the stomach, and he fell to the ground in pain.
There seems to be no wind today, which is hard to come across on a desert night. Tian'er fell to the ground, looking at his mother who was carried away by the wicked, he was in pain, not only in his body, but also in his heart. The mother was still crying and desperately trying to return to Tian'er, but in vain.
"Child, Mobei is your hometown, you have to remember!"
I don't know how long it took, it was already dawn, and Tian'er still looked at the direction in which her mother was carried away. His tears had dried up, and there were no more tears. He got up and walked back to their tent, bowing three times to his dead father. Although he was still very young, he was full of strength at this time, and buried everyone including his father. The two wicked men took away all the money and water when they left, and now he has no dry food or water, only hatred. He's going to find those two guys, and he's going to take revenge.
Tian'er kept walking in the direction of his mother's disappearance, and he didn't know if he had gone in the wrong direction after a long time. He hasn't eaten or drunk for a day, how long can a six-year-old last?
Tian'er was unconscious as he walked, and he had a dream. I dreamed that I was waiting for dinner at home, and my mother was touching his head in order to make his favorite egg custard.
"Mother, Mother!"
Suddenly he felt a hand holding his little hand, which was a long-lost warmth, like a mother's hand. He opened his eyes and saw a beautiful woman who looked like his mother.
"Mother!"
Tian'er cried, but there were no tears. The man pulled him into his arms and stroked his head tenderly. This is a Mobei woman, Tian'er was met in the desert when her husband came home. At that time, Tian'er was unconscious and severely dehydrated. When he got home, he bathed Tian'er with precious water and drank a lot for him. The family lived in an oasis in the desert and made a living by providing lodging and food to passing caravans. Both of them are middle-aged, have no children under their knees, and have plans to stay as their own children when they see Tian'er. Tian'er cried for a while, remembering that her mother had been snatched away, and she was alone from then on, and fainted again.
It has been three days since Tian'er was rescued by this family, and Tian'er has not said a word except for a few calls from her mother who just woke up. Every day he sat there, no matter how much the man and woman asked, he would not answer.
"I saw that something must have happened to the child. ”
The hostess looked at the haggard Tian'er and said, and the man also sighed and said:
"Let's treat him well, and when he figures it out, he'll be able to speak. ”
Tian'er had already figured it out at this time, he wanted revenge, he wanted to find those two desert guides.
"I figured it out!"
He told the two of them what happened to his family in the desert, and when his father was killed and his mother was robbed, the hostess was already crying.
"I must find those two people, and when I grow up, I will avenge my parents!"
"Child, this is your home in the future, we are your relatives, I will inquire about the two people you said when I go outside, you can rest assured. ”
The man said to Tian'er.
Tian'er knelt down, kowtowed, and was quickly helped up by the hostess.
"Thank you for saving your life, I Wu Tian will definitely repay you in the future!"
Only then did the male and female owners know that the child's name was Wu Tian.
"Good boy, come and eat, I haven't eaten well in the past few days. ”
"Can I eat egg custard if I want?"
"Yes, I'll do it for you. ”
Tian'er was eating egg custard, and he thought of his mother, where are you at this time? He wanted to cry, but there was not a single tear.
Four years later, Tian'er went to the border town with the man to buy food and sundries. This is the first time Tian'er has come out with the male host, he has always lived in the oasis before, and he has never come out. After a long time, he gradually came out of the pain of losing his parents, and he became much more cheerful.
"Father, I want to eat sugar cakes. ”
Tian'er called them father and mother three years ago, and they were very happy.
"Okay, I'll buy it for you. ”
The two of them have already purchased almost everything, and they are going to return. Tian'er sat on a camel, eating sugar cakes, very happy. Suddenly, he saw a familiar face, one of the two desert guides. Without even thinking about it, Tian'er threw the sugar cake in his hand in the man's face, and jumped off the camel and beat the wicked man. Seeing this, the man immediately stepped forward to hold Tian'er and looked at the guide.
"He was the one who killed my father and snatched my mother!"
At this time, some people were also gathered around, and the wicked man saw that the situation was not good, and wanted to leave quickly, so he squeezed into the crowd without speaking. The man grabbed the man and said:
"Hey, make it clear before leaving, did you kill this child's father, and what about his mother?"
When the people around him heard that the matter of human life was tightened, the man was a little annoyed, and turned around and plunged the dagger into the man's stomach.
"Ah, murder!!"
The crowd shouted at some point, and everyone immediately dispersed, and the man fled in the chaos. Tian'er hugged the man who was sitting on the ground, looked at the back of the man fleeing viciously, and the people accompanying him immediately sent the man to the hospital.
"Fortunately, it didn't hurt the vital point, and I could recover after a few months of rest, but now I have to stay here for a few days, otherwise the wound will suppurate and I won't survive. ”
Ten days later, a group of people returned to the oasis with the injured man, and when the accident occurred, the man sent a letter to the hostess, informing her that she would not be able to return until ten days later.
"I'm sorry for you!"
"Don't say that, it's not good for us to fail to catch that wicked man. ”
The man and woman were very considerate and didn't blame Tian'er.
In the past few years, the hostess has often hugged Tian'er and told him her childhood story, her home is also in the desert north, and her story is somewhat similar to her biological mother's story.
"Mobei is your hometown, you have to go there in the future to see, when you are in pain, tired, back there, Mobei people will definitely treat you like a relative. ”
This night was tossing and turning, and he felt that he was a scourge, harming his own parents and the parents who raised him. Just as he couldn't sleep, there was a series of noises outside the house, and he immediately went out to check. Outside, two dark figures walked out of a house, and the two men rushed over when they saw Tian'er. Tian'er fixed his eyes and realized that it was the two wicked men again, and he quickly ran back into the house and closed the door.
"Help!!"
"Don't scream, we've killed everyone here. If you want to blame yourself, you want to take revenge on us when you let you live. We've been following you all the way here, and I'll see how you're going to run away this time, hahaha!"
"You two bastards, I'm going to avenge them!"
"Revenge? haha, I don't think you will survive today!"
The two people began to bang on the door, how could Tian'er be too young to withstand the strength of two adults, and the door was knocked open in a few clicks. The two of them had hideous faces, and Tian'er stared at them deadly, not letting go of any details, and he had to remember these two faces firmly. One of them raised his knife, which had already been slashed down, but Tian'er didn't blink his eyes. Suddenly, a figure flashed into the room, knocked the knife away, and raised his hand to stun the two men.
"Will you go with me?"
"I can go with you, but you're going to kill both of them!"
"Hehe, aren't you going to kill them with your own hands? Come with me, and I'll let you kill them with your own hands." ”
"Okay, I'll go with you! but bury my adoptive parents!"
"That's fine, but you'll have to bury it yourself. I also have conditions to take you away, you listen well. First, in the future, you will change your name to Wu Yiwu if you have nothing on your body; second, you should not stop me from killing someone, and you will not be allowed to use your mouth; third, you will kill whoever I ask you to kill. Can it be done?"
"Okay, I promise you!"
Five years later, he tortured the two wicked men for three days and three nights with the most vicious bone-eating poisonous insects, and finally only their heads were left to die.
Ten years later, he has become a famous drug king. He drank the blood of the man who saved him for nine hundred and eighty-one days, and with each drink he felt that humanity was getting farther away from him. When he drank the last bowl of blood water, only the round moon and the words of the two mothers were left in his head: "Mobei is your hometown." ”
