Chapter 1: Blood Jade
[I would like to pay tribute to Xiao Ding with this article]
Under the dome, the night is like ink, and the cold wind is like water.
In a stone cave, the flickering fire light came out, and in the stone cave, there was a woman, the woman was lying flat on the ground, her feet were supporting the ground, her stomach was high, her whole body was sweating, and she was biting a piece of wood on her mouth, and her teeth had entered the wood. Beside her, a man looked at her nervously, cheering her on and cheering her on.
This is a pregnant woman who is about to give birth...
The woman's eyes were closed, her hands were clenched into fists, her teeth were bitten into the wood for three points, and her body trembled slightly...
Suddenly, a cry broke the silent night, and it was like a proclamation to the world, and it spread to the endless sky.
The woman hugged the baby in her swaddling clothes, tears and lotus lotus, crying with joy. The man also rested his head against the woman's, and the two looked happily at the baby in their arms.
The woman caressed the baby's face with her hand and put her index finger into the baby's mouth, which squirmed and a smile leaked from her face.
The woman smiled too, laughing with such happiness and satisfaction.
The man and the woman glanced at each other, a hint of grief flashed in the woman's eyes, and the man's eyes were full of determination.
The woman pulled out her fingers, reached into her bosom, fumbled, and after a few moments, the woman pulled something out of her bosom.
That's a dagger...
The dagger swayed in the firelight, emitting bursts of cold light!
The man stretched his finger towards his mouth, but what was terrifying was that the man actually put his entire palm into his mouth, and the man's Adam's apple was wriggling, apparently the palm was still stretching down.
In the end, the man even put his wrist into his mouth, like a giant python biting his tail and slowly devouring himself.
Finally, the man's hand was withdrawn, and at the same time there was something still in his finger. It was a piece of jade the size of a copper coin, round in shape, with a strange red color all over the body, as if there was a flame burning in the jade, and as if there was blood flowing in the jade, some of which were breathtaking, especially in this cold moonlight, this jade seemed to be ready to move, as if it was going to break through the shackles of jade.
Although the jade is small, it is divided into eight parts, each part is engraved with three lines, some are the first line is broken, some are the second line is broken, anyway, the lines of the eight parts are different, each part is a simple pattern, but the combination of the eight parts has an indescribable metaphor, like a formation, and like a logo.
The man nodded to the woman, and the woman stretched out the dagger to the baby, only to see the woman lift the clothes wrapped around the baby, the baby leaked out of the white chest, the limbs were unrestrained, and the baby moved its limbs happily and made a squeaky sound.
The woman raised the dagger and slowly fell towards the baby's chest...
The baby let out another high-pitched cry, as if to vent its frustration to the world.
On the baby's chest, the woman used a dagger to cut an inch-long wound, and the wound was constantly bubbling out.
Following the wound on the baby's chest, the man quickly stuffed the jade into it, and the baby's cry became sharper, as if fighting against pain, against jade, against his own fate.
Suddenly, the baby's eyes opened, and the dark eyes were blood-red at the moment, like the blood jade, which was soul-catching......
............
"Ahh
"What's wrong?" a man next to him put his arm on the woman's shoulders and comforted her softly, "Another nightmare?"
The woman nodded and said, "As soon as I fall asleep, I will have this nightmare, and I will never forget everything that happened that night, especially those eyes!"
The man continued to comfort softly: "It's okay, it's okay, you see, twelve years have passed, isn't there nothing wrong with our children?"
The woman was still a little worried, and looked back at the child who was still sleeping beside her, twelve years had passed, and the original baby had grown into a big boy at the moment, with sharp edges and corners, thick eyebrows and big eyes, which was very cute.
The woman put her hand into the man's socket and asked with a slightly worried expression, "Let's put that blood jade into Qian'er's chest, is it really okay?"
"It's okay, don't worry, it's the ancestral heirloom of our Wu family, and it has long been connected with the bloodline of our Wu family. The man whispered comfortingly.
"Why did you implant the blood jade into Qian'er's body?" the woman asked, puzzled.
The man looked at the twilight from afar, as if he was following the instructions of his ancestors, and after a moment, the man whispered, "This piece of blood jade is for our family to guide the way. ”
When the woman heard this, she fell silent, and the man kissed her lightly on the forehead, and then reached out to caress the face of the sleeping child, and then said, "Let's go." ”
The woman nodded, and then woke up the little boy softly, and the boy rubbed his eyes, his face was full of unhappiness, but he did not complain, and stood up and followed his parents as they groped their way through the barren mountains and mountains.
I don't know how long it took to walk, the morning star in the sky has appeared, and the three of them are also exhausted.
"Dad, how long are we going to run?" the little boy asked, wiping the sweat from his head and with a hint of complaint.
The man did not slow down because of his son's question, nor did he look back, perhaps because he was ashamed.
"Qian'er, let's run forward, find a safe place and let's rest, okay?" the man said softly.
"Run, run, run, I remember you pulling me to keep running and hiding! Who the hell are we hiding?" the little boy was obviously not satisfied with this answer, perhaps his father had already used this sentence to prevaricate him many times.
The man suddenly stretched out his hand and stopped the mother and son behind him.
The woman's heart tightened and asked, "What's wrong, it's been discovered?"
The man shook his head and said, "There is no road ahead." ”
The woman couldn't help glaring at the man with disgusted eyes, and then took a step forward, and a yin wind poured up from the bottom up, as if pulling people forward.
The woman stabilized her body and looked at it, under the faint moonlight, a cliff blocked the way, and it was pitch black under the cliff, but judging from the back-up wind, the cliff must be unfathomable.
The man began to look around to see if there was any other way, while the little boy sat on the ground and continued to ask, "Dad, who are we hiding?"
The man continued to look for his way, ignoring his son.
"Dad, if you don't explain it to me today, I won't leave. The little boy said in an accentuated tone.
At this time, the child's mother sighed and said, "Qian'er, don't blame your father, not only are we on the run, your grandfather is on the run, your grandfather's grandfather is also on the run, and our veins are already ...... I've been on the run for 5,000 years!"
The little boy gasped and said timidly: "Five thousand years! What kind of hatred do we have with the enemy, or we will continue to hunt down our vein for five thousand years!"
The man didn't look back, but he also stopped and didn't continue to look for the way, the cliff wind poured on the man's robe, the hunting sound, the back in the moonlight, this moment was full of gloom.
"Brother Hong, I see that the child is also sensible, or we will tell him!" The woman looked at the back of this bleak and said with a hint of pleading.
