Chapter 67: Agreements
This is a very ordinary mountain village, where you can see men going out hunting, women working at home, and a few children frolicking and chasing through Du Ziyuan's body. Obviously, these are just phantoms created by Azhu, and they are the pictures in her memories back then.
Although everyone was curious why she mentioned this small mountain village, they didn't open their mouths to ask. Ah Zhu led them to a very ordinary wooden house, and Du Ziyuan clearly heard a man's angry scolding and a woman's screaming outside the door, mixed with the crying of a child.
Ah Zhu opened the door, and the four of them saw the situation in the house. A man was beating a woman with a rattan stick, and a one-year-old child rested on a bed not far away, unheeded.
Azhu pointed to the woman and said, "She was sold to this village, and she often thought about running away, but every time she was caught and beaten by her husband." ”
Mu Chengan frowned, obviously he hated this kind of thing very much, but these were just Ah Zhu's memories, so he was helpless.
After beating his wife severely, the man threatened her and chained her to his house before going hunting. The woman came to the bedside after he left, the child was still crying, Du Ziyuan thought she would pick up the child and coax her, but she saw her slap the face of the 1-year-old girl.
Azhu said: "She hates everything in this village, including this child. ”
As he spoke, the scene changed again, and it seemed that several years had passed, and the one-year-old girl was already four or five years old in the blink of an eye. She didn't look healthy, she was skinny and bruised.
Syllable!
Another slap in the face, the woman who has aged a lot is still the same as back then, hating her daughter, thinking that she is a stained nightmare that she can't wash away.
The young girl covered her beaten face and quietly walked out of the house. She staggered to the back of the village, found a half-charred and half-bald tree, and sat down under it.
"Shushu, my mother beat me again today, I just want to hand her a glass of water......"
Azhu looked at this scene with a nostalgic look on her face: "She has no friends in the village, she likes to come to me to talk about anything, and I seem to have become her only friend." ”
The picture changed again, this time the whole village was on fire, and everyone was screaming and trying to escape, but the fire was too big to escape. There was only one person laughing, laughing wildly, and that was the woman who had been sold into the mountains.
"She planned for years, and eventually she burned everyone to death. Azhu said.
Xiao Jin couldn't help but ask, "What about that child, was he also burned to death?"
Ah Zhu shook his head: "No, she happened to be there with me at that time and escaped. ”
Xiao Jin breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this.
The scene shifts to the side of the tree again. The little girl hid under the tree, shivering at the distant fire, when her mother found it. She called out "mother", thinking that her mother was here to protect her, but she was greeted by a pair of hands like iron tongs.
"I was too badly injured to save her, so I could only watch her strangled. Azhu sighed.
The faces of the four were not good-looking, and they all clearly saw the despair in the little girl's eyes before she died.
The woman committed suicide by jumping off a cliff after strangling her daughter, and the little girl's bones fell on Azhu's side.
"Because she was contaminated with my breath, she was not discovered by the ghosts, but became a lonely ghost by my side, and she still talked to me every day for 50 years, as before. ”
"After 50 years, I have regained some of my strength," Azhu pointed to his only remaining branch, "I used my remaining demon yuan to bear a fruit, and my fruit can live and die human flesh and bones, and it is also possible to reshape the body of a ghost." ”
Xiao Jin was taken aback: "When you are seriously injured, you still consume demon yuan, you don't want to live!?"
Azhu smiled: "I've lived long enough, her life has just begun, and she shouldn't stop here." ”
The story continues, after helping the little girl to resurrect, Azhu consumes too much and falls asleep, and when she wakes up again, the little girl is gone. However, in her deep sleep, she faintly heard the little girl say something to her.
"Shushu, I'll come back to see you, you have to wait for me. ”
Ah Zhu remembered this sentence and waited for the little girl here. However, this wait was 700 years, and the little girl never came back until her life was about to run out. Maybe she's forgotten about it, maybe she's dead outside......
The Demon Emperor was supposed to live the same life as heaven and earth, but she was seriously injured first, and after forcibly separating the demon yuan, it was already the limit to be able to last for 700 years. Now, even if there are no masters staring at her, she won't live long.
"My second condition is that if she comes to me one day, I hope you can say to her on my behalf, 'I'm sorry, I missed my appointment.'" Azhu's voice sounded, and everyone returned to the stone chamber again.
"As for the gift, I can bear fruit again before I die, although the effect will be less, but it should still have some value for you. ”
"I don't want your fruit!" Ling Blood Knife suddenly roared excitedly, "I owe you a life, I will definitely do what you say, this is not a deal!"
Ah Zhu patted his head with a branch again: "Silly boy, you have your own life, you shouldn't be tied to this kind of place." ”
"That's right," at this time, Xiao Jin, who had been silent, suddenly spoke, "Since you have to wait, then you should wait forever." ”
With that, she walked to the tree: "You will not die." ”
I saw Xiao Jin stretch out her arm, and with her other hand, she swiped on her wrist, breaking a gap, and her blood sprayed directly onto Azhu's body.
"What are you doing!?" Everyone was taken aback by her sudden behavior, especially Du Ziyuan. He clearly saw that something was wrong with Xiao Jin's expression, and it was definitely not because he was moved by listening to the story that he decided to help Azhu, but because there was a deeper reason.
It's just ...... "Are you crazy!" Du Ziyuan stepped forward to stop Xiao Jin, "Your own injuries haven't healed yet, you don't want to live at this time to bleed!"
Xiao Jin turned around and smiled at him: "It's okay, I'm a dragon, my life is hard, it's not so easy to die, it's ...... The head is a little dizzy. ”
Ah Zhu's branches quickly wrapped around her wrists, blocking the blood gushing out, but just now, Xiao Jin had already lost a lot of essence blood and fainted directly in Du Ziyuan's arms.
