Chapter 1: No soul or heart

Next Chapter

The suburbs are bright, the warm wind is light, and the rain in Nanxi is sunny in February.

Humanitarian: "The late days are beautiful, the spring breeze is fragrant with flowers and plants", after spring, the first rain in Jiangnan Town washed away the dust of winter, and the weather was warm and cold.

The green water outside the town surrounds the city, named the Green Python River, which brings infinite vitality to the town.

The bamboo forest pine and cypress on the west side of the town are readily available, and the kingfisher sings around the city from time to time. The beautiful and comfortable scenery makes everyone in the town talk about it, and they feel that this peaceful and prosperous world is very peaceful.

It is said that more than 200 years ago, there was a war here, and the ten rooms and nine empty were almost deserted, but now it is quiet and peaceful, and the old man often recites the blessing of the gods.

Three miles outside the town is the green python river, the clear river water is sparkling in the sun, the trees on the side of the road are reflected in the water, it looks greener, the two mackerels chase each other under the lake, and from time to time poke out of the water, how leisurely.

Suddenly, a small stone broke the calm water, jumped a few times and sank into the water, and the frightened fish scattered and fled.

Squatting by the riverbank was a boy of about eleven or twelve years old, with a plain appearance and unkempt hair. The mouth rose slightly, but I was afraid that I was sulking. Dressed in gray and white cloth, it doesn't look neat and clean. With a few stones in his hand, he threw another one into the river with a wave of his hand, and as the small stones broke through the water, they rippled a little.

"Sumu!

A voice from far to near, the sound is crisp and beautiful, which really leads to reverie

It was only when I found out a little closer to me that it was a girl of twelve or thirteen years old. Dressed in a blue long dress, she looks slender and slender from a distance, full of youthful atmosphere.

The girl lightly jumped over a few gravels by the river, and came to Su Mu with a hint of incense.

I saw that the girl's body was full of agile energy, her black hair was tied up with a blue ribbon, and a few strands of hair fell down her shoulders, lining the broken skin even whiter. The face is not powdered, but it is fresh and moving.

Although Su Mu heard the girl's voice, his body moved, and he threw the stone by himself, but did not look at the girl.

The girl blinked her eyes a few times, the corners of her mouth curved slightly, and then she laughed, put down an embroidered blue cloth bag that she had been holding in her hand, turned her head and picked up a slightly larger stone, and threw it into the water in front of Su Mu with a thud in her hand, and the splash immediately splashed Su Mu's clothes.

Su Mu sighed, turned around and asked angrily, "An Rui, what are you doing?"

An Rui smiled: "Look at you well, but what kind of deaf person are you pretending to be?

Su Mu lowered his head and wiped his clothes, and said in a low voice: "I'm here to see the scenery, what are you doing here?"

An Rui pouted and said: "Look at the scenery, everyone who watched the fish has run away? Hmph, Uncle Su asked me to look at you more, saying that you stupid boy has not been clever since he was a child, but he is not like a girl in the An family, clever and ghostly, don't let that stupid boy always suffer." I'm not looking at you, don't get caught in the wild dogs on the side of the road."

An Rui said that she didn't forget to praise herself, and she covered her mouth and laughed again in her heart

Su Mu opened his mouth but couldn't speak, sighed and lowered his head.

An Rui laughed a few times and felt that something was wrong, and after a closer look, Su Mu was dirty from head to toe, and his clothes were still torn in a few places, and his heart moved: Could it be that this stupid boy was really chased by wild dogs.

"Are you being bullied again? get up and pat, it's okay" An Rui saw Su Mu's embarrassed appearance a lot, and she didn't care, slapped Su Mu's clothes, raised a burst of dust, and then ran away a few steps in disgust, and her little hand slapped a few times in the air.

Su Mu took a few breaths quickly, looked up sharply and asked: "Sister An Rui, am I really like Aunt Liu said that I was reincarnated as a beast in my previous life, and I did too much evil, and now I have this strange disease to torment me, Dabao They are not good to me, Aunt Liu They look down on me, but I saved them today, why are you still treating me like this" There was already a cry between the words, but not a single tear could come out.

An Rui sighed secretly, hugged him gently, and kept stroking his back to comfort: "Silly boy, don't cry, don't cry, they are all ghosts, they can't see others, my sister thinks you are the best in the world, unique, shhh, don't be sad, be careful"

Su Mu's face was slightly red, and he was a little shy when he was hugged by An Rui, and the young man was thin-skinned and left An Rui's arms with a twist.

"Sister An Rui, you are so good to me, without you, I, I ......" Su Mu breathed a sigh of relief, but he still couldn't say the rest of his words

An Rui is also uncomfortable, Su Mu has been bullied since he was a child, although he often helps him to vent his anger, but he can't save the hostility and insult of his fellow villagers, as well as the self-esteem of a young man.

Su Mu's father, Su Yan, gave up writing to do business, and now he is doing the trading of medicinal materials, especially Su Mu, which sells the best medicinal materials, and Su Mu's name is derived from medicinal materials.

Su Yan died early and did not leave an heir, but now he has taken a second room and has a son in his thirties, which is also a treasure anomaly for Su Mu.

Not long after birth, Su Mu's mother once spilled hot porridge on Su Mu's hand, and Su's mother's frightened soul flew and screamed, but Su Mu didn't react, didn't cry or make trouble.

At that time, Su Yan was talking to someone in the front hall, heard the inner person screaming, and quickly came to the inner room, and saw that his baby son's arm was burned, and the hot porridge was still on his body, and his eyes were dazzled in a hurry. Su Mu sat slumped aside, trembling and constantly wiping the hot porridge on Su Mu's hands, and the maid on the side stepped forward quickly to help dry the porridge, but Su Mu's white and tender arms were already red.

Su Mu's hands were also red, swollen and blistered, and tears fell like broken strings, ignoring the hot porridge on her hand. Su Yan's face was pale, distressed and anxious, he didn't care about blaming Su Mu, and yelled at his subordinates: "Hurry up and get ice water!

Fortunately, the pharmacy opened by his own family has all kinds of medicines, and the medicine for this burn is also a good match, after bandaging and treating the mother and son, the more Su Yan thinks about it, the more strange it becomes, the scald is extremely painful, and adults also have a groan of pain, how can Su Mu not cry?

Su Yan picked up his child, looked left and right, and then stretched out his hand and bent his index finger to drill in the center of Su Mu's foot, ordinary children are about to cry when their feet hurt, Su Mu is happy, Su Yan's face changed, and he thought to himself: "Has this child lost his soul and only has his skin left, so he doesn't know the pain?"

Although Su Yan runs a pharmacy, his medical skills are mediocre, and he is even more unheard of for his own children's strange diseases. For a period of time, I visited a famous doctor within a hundred miles, but no one knew what the cause of the disease was.

Su Yan was sad every day for his son's strange illness, and some people who were not nervous spread the news that the son of the Su family was not afraid of pain, and the gossip followed and returned to the Su family. Su Yan was even more angry.

When Su Mu was three or four years old, he was still at a loss for this strange disease of the Su family, and later found that Su Mu sometimes cried but had no tears, and he didn't know the cold and heat, and he was not afraid of cold and heat.

After a long time, I found out that Su Mu didn't shed tears, and a doctor instructed him to drop his eyes with medicinal solution every few days, otherwise he might be blind.

Sometimes Su Mu would be curious to beat himself with something and bite himself with his mouth, thinking that this was very interesting, and this kind of self-harm was even worse for the Su family, and someone followed Su Mu for twelve hours, for fear that if he didn't pay attention to Su Dagongzi, he would have to lose something.

Su's mother felt sorry for the child, and taught what behavior was wrong and what should not be done every day, and recited it once a day in the morning and evening, and even chanted the scriptures every day, asking for the blessing of the Bodhisattva.

Sometimes Su Mu will be sad and cry when he is disobedient, although Su Mu is not afraid of pain in his body, he will still feel heartache for his mother, for his mother, Su Mu always reminds himself that in the long run, he will control the problem of self-harm.

Su Mu didn't know the pain, and the young child was sick, so he had to take care of him carefully, treat him in time, and barely grow up slowly. An old doctor who knew him privately said to Su Yan: "This kind of strange disease, I'm afraid it will be difficult to grow, but I have to make more plans."

On weekdays, the Su family is respectful of cows, ghosts, snakes, and gods, but now they have to secretly invite the archmage to exorcise evil spirits, and the incense ash rune paper water is not less filled, but it has no effect. I often saw Su Yan jumping like thunder and driving the archmage out of the house.

Frustrated, Su Yan and his wife discussed having another son, ensuring that in case Su Mu was unlucky, there would be someone to inherit the lineage in the future. Although Su Yan is old, God blesses him, and the second son, Su Fu, landed when Su Mu was six years old. After checking that everything was as usual, Su Yan was happy and burst into tears.

After having Su Fu, Su Yan also let Su Mu go a lot, letting the house run around outside, and his mother sent his subordinates to take care of him, so as not to let Su Mu hurt himself or others.

At first, Su Mu's little head was still very happy with such a laissez-faire, but he was still very dissatisfied with his subordinates, so he sneaked out.

However, when I was playing outside, I noticed that other children of the same age saw that I was either running away or saying strange things to me. Even the bold threw stones at Su Mu, and after being injured, he found that Su Mu was bleeding all over his face, and he was indifferent, so frightened that he scattered one after another. The surrounding neighbors also rolled their eyes in disgust when they saw them, and pulled their children to warn them not to approach the reincarnated children of the beasts.

Six or seven-year-old children already know a lot of things, know self-esteem, and don't want to go out again after coming and going. Su Mu secretly told his mother what happened to him, but his mother just cried silently, and could only persuade Su Mu not to go out alone.

Childhood without partners was cruel to every child, Su Mu became more and more silent, and even secretly harmed himself in an inconspicuous place on his body for fun, and it was at this time that An Rui appeared.
