Chapter Seventy-Eight: Pei San
In the dark night, I saw a mud boy look at the sleeping old Li Tou beside him, and then got out of bed and walked out of the house.
Outside the house, the starlight is all over the sky, and countless points of light converge into a river, and people will have the desire to get lost in it, and the surrounding insects are chirping all over the mountains.
I saw that the mud boy stood on top of a bluestone after walking out of the house, and his body made some strange movements, but after a few breaths, cold sweat flowed from his face, which was painful, almost like the pain of countless ants eating bones.
This is because his body is congenitally deficient and his physique is weak, if others take ten steps to take a breath, then he will take seven or eight breaths when he walks ten steps, not only the body, but also the meridians in the body are dry and narrow, and the pain is the consequence of him guiding the aura between heaven and earth into the body, he wants to repair the body defects, if the body grows in the future, the meridians will be shaped and everything will be more difficult thousands of times.
"Hmm. ”
His originally silent little face suddenly flashed with a trace of pain, and the pain became more and more intense, like the tide wave after wave, and then it had fallen to the bluestone and fell to the ground like a curled prawn, trembling from time to time.
The thin little hands unconsciously grabbed the dirt on the ground and held it tightly in their hands, and then slowly flowed out between their fingers.
The pain lasted for a long time, and the curled up body slowly unfolded, like a tight bowstring suddenly loosened, and the clothes on the body were already soaked with sweat.
This was followed by a sour and powerless, and resisting the pain almost exhausted his strength and mental strength, and his spirit became weaker, like a fire that could be extinguished at any moment.
He has been going on like this for a while, from the beginning of one difficult move to now barely completing three moves, no one can think about what price he has paid.
Falling to the ground and looking up at the stars in the sky, the mud boy slowly stretched out his right hand to the night sky, and then slowly held it.
At this time, there was a sound of rustling around him, followed by the body of Lao Li lying down tremblingly, he was even older, he had paid too much for the mud boy over the years, although he had no blood, but he was better than the so-called biological parents, and he was originally in his fifties but he was like an old man in his seventies and eighties, like a rotten wood.
He didn't want to trust anyone anymore, but now he felt the cool breeze of the night, and the wisps of old white hair blew on his cheeks, and the mud boy slowly turned around.
"Twilight. ”
The strange tone, the mud boy slowly spit out, he really didn't want to speak, and at this moment, it was even more difficult for him to speak because of his body.
"I ...... Surname...... Evening. ”
The mud boy who faced the trembling eyes of Lao Li repeated it again, and he always had to pause for a moment when each word fell, as if he was correcting his speech and pronunciation.
"Twilight. ”
Old Li Tou repeated, seeing that Twilight Dongliu acquiesced, he also withdrew his gaze to look at the sky, he did not have the so-called beautiful starry sky in his eyes, but wanted to discover something, he wanted to see what the mud boy saw in his eyes.
"I ...... Want...... You live. ”
The mud boy looked at the starry sky with his eyes and said to Lao Li Tou, he has become ill after a long time, and Lao Li Tou's body is getting worse and worse at this moment, and he usually has abnormal flushing on his face, which is a sign of problems with the five organs in the body, I am afraid that there will not be a few years.
A glimmer of light flashed in Lao Li's cloudy eyes, he was because of this sentence, because this sentence was said by the mud boy, but he knew the condition of his body in his heart, and he was silent.
The mud boy didn't care about this, his body had recovered some strength after a moment of rest, and then turned around and walked back to the house, and after a long time, Lao Li Tou slowly stood up.
......
Everything in this world has opposites, good and evil, beauty and ugliness, big and small, and in this way, even the rich and the poor have a share.
I saw that countless people on the street wore gorgeous costumes and brocade robes in and out of the Huafang Restaurant, and they spent a lot of money at every turn, but in that street, there were countless hawkers running around for a family's livelihood, just making a living of money, and the real life on a street was fully revealed.
In this way, everyone's world is different, and the path they take is different, and this is the so-called fate in countless people's mouths.
Today, in the distance of the street, from the bustling area, a person slowly walked in, that person was fair-skinned, slightly chubby, wearing a purple suit, and his face must have been very handsome when he was young.
He seems to walk casually, but there is an invisible majesty or majesty on his body, and the ordinary smile on his face that is like an ordinary person sets off his aura even more, his name is Pei San.
And at this end, in this slightly poor area, four or five children are playing in a group around the street, innocent.
From afar, Pei San saw this scene, and his eyes couldn't help showing some memories, and his smile was a little more, as if only this group of children were in his eyes in the vast world at this moment.
"The Tower. ”
He shouted to himself.
The voice fell, and a sturdy and swarthy man on the right behind him immediately stopped, as if there was an invisible speech that made him instantly understand what his master meant.
He turned around and looked around, and was already walking towards a bun shop not far away, and in a few moments he had already returned with a dozen buns, and then walked through the crowd to the group of children, who were exuding buns.
In an instant, all the children were like happy larks, chirping non-stop.
Seeing this, Pei San was about to turn left and leave, but the next moment he withdrew half of his foot.
Because at this moment he suddenly saw a strange scene, only to see a child squatting not far from the group of children, but seven or eight years old, wearing clothes full of mud, and seemed to be staring at something under an old tree.
When the tower handed out buns, he didn't even seem to lift his head, which seemed very out of place.
Pei San couldn't help but feel a little curious, and then he didn't care about the surrounding environment, and he didn't care about his identity and walked over.
He looked ordinary, and after a few steps, he looked so breezy and calm, and then he was already standing behind the child, watching quietly, silently.
It turned out that there were two nests of ants fighting under the tree.
Pei San couldn't help but smile a little when he saw this, but when he was about to withdraw his gaze, his eyes suddenly changed again.
I saw that the child had stretched out his index finger and gently pressed it on an ant, which was the most powerful one in the colony, and killed it.
The smile on Pei San's face gradually faded, and he could see the child's thin body and withered yellow hair.
One, two, three......
Whenever a strong ant appeared in the two nests of ants, the child in front of Pei San would stretch out his finger to kill them, as if he would not allow any ant to break the balance, or break the rules.
Seeing this, even Pei San felt a strange chill in his heart for some reason.
"Wow!
Suddenly, a few flying ants flew up, and the faint flapping sound of their wings landed unusually clearly in Pei San's ears.
They seemed to want to fly out of the world under the tree, out of the child's sight, out of his control, but they were greeted by the small hand that waved, and then the ant corpse that was pinched to death in the hand.
Pei San's eyes had involuntarily narrowed at this moment, and he stared at the two nests of ants over the child's back, in his eyes, this usually disdainful scene was like a thrilling fighting war.
It's just that, in the end, no one wins, they all die, and there are ant corpses on the ground.
At this time, Pei San saw that the child had opened his palm, and there were several faint red dots on it, which were traces of being stung by ants.
The child stared at his palm in silence, as if thinking about something.
"What are you thinking?"
Pei San suddenly wanted to know his answer urgently.
"I'm wondering why they're dying, why are they losing?"
The child's voice was very strange, as if he had just learned to speak, and he was reluctant to pronounce words, and he paused a little after hearing Pei San's voice.
"Lose?"
Pei San was puzzled.
"yes, they lost, they all lost to me. ”
The child replied.
Pei San was shocked when he heard this, and then nodded.
"Indeed, they all lost to you, and they died because of you. ”
For some reason, Pei San suddenly felt a nameless fear in his heart gradually filling his heart and body.
"Because they can't see you. ”
He said.
"yes, they can't see me. ”
The child agreed.
"But, even if they see it, what can they do, the life and death of the ants are in my hands, even if it is this ant nest, it is only in my thoughts. ”
The child stood up slowly, and his little feet had slowly stepped on it, but the ant nest, which was unusually strong in the eyes of the ants, was vulnerable to the child's feet.
"But you're also injured, and there's more to this than two ant nests in the world. ”
Pei San said in a deep voice.
"That makes sense. ”
The child nodded for a moment when he heard this, then looked at Pei San, his eyes were calm, he looked at the sky again, and left alone for a long time.
As for Pei San, he froze in place, he looked at the child's back thoughtfully, and then looked at the sky, hesitating and hesitating.
For a long time, his eyes shrank in vain, as if he had seen some great terror.
