Chapter Seventy-Three: The Black Tide
"I don't know what's going on, but my hands are able to move anyway." Seeing the animal skin under the fat aunt's armpit, Fengyun asked, "Fat aunt, who are you?"
"You live so far away, and Li Qing's grandfather and father are not here, how can I rest assured that you live here alone?" The fat aunt put down the bed, ran over, helped Fengyun back to the wheelchair, looked at his hand happily and smiled: "If your hand can move, is it almost healed? ”
"Is this still fast?" Fengyun smiled bitterly: "These days have almost suffocated me to death." ”
The fat aunt smiled: "That's right, you can't move your hands and feet, so you can't do anything! But now, I think you will be able to walk tomorrow!"
"I hope so!" Fengyun asked, "You come here, what will you do with the little fruit?"
"Her father is watching!" said the fat aunt nonchalantly, "I called her to come over and she couldn't come, saying that I would play with the little stones and them at night." You also know that the little ones are together all day and all night without sleeping, and every day they go in groups to fight with other Yi dolls, saying that they are about to fight, isn't this bullying......"
The fat aunt opened her mouth and was finished, while laying out the cover, while talking endlessly, a person was also very lively, plus Xiaoying screamed, for a while also added a lot of life to the grass shed in the forest.
Huh!
From the foot of the mountain behind the kiln, the six of them walked over slowly, and the sky slowly darkened, and they were about to go back to sleep in the circle. However, when they reached the hut, the six of them stopped.
Big Brother B will enjoy it, the clay of burning bricks and mud is finely broken by Li Bian, and it is extremely soft. The large pit in the open space of the mud was full of leftover clay, which was mixed with water to become the best quality mud pond, and several of them jumped into it and rolled around, very happy. Only the exclamation mark swayed to Fengyun's side, raised his eyes to look at him, and stretched out his wet nose to sniff Fengyun's hand.
The moist air lapped against the back of his hand, and Fengyun enjoyed such a delicate touch, and only when he lost it could he realize that these most basic things were the most precious.
Holding the fangs on the side of its mouth, Fengyun was a little emotional, thinking that when they were in the Peach Blossom Spring, the six of them were playing with themselves, but they were not as big as they are now, it has only been less than a year, and they have all grown fat and strong, and they are estimated to be able to produce a lot of meat, right?
Just joking, Fengyun was reluctant to attack them, after all, they were one of his remaining memories of the Peach Blossom Spring. Seeing them, Fengyun will remember that when he first came to this world, although he was embarrassed, he also found a stable living environment and had friends, but unfortunately, he couldn't protect his friends.
The sky darkened little by little, and wisps of cooking smoke were lit in the direction of the city in the distance, and the fat aunt turned out the clothes that Fengyun had changed, sewed them with fishbone needles and twine, while babbling on trivial things that I didn't know whether it was for Fengyun or herself.
Fengyun just listened quietly, while watching the stars gradually brightening up in the sky, the feeling of tightness in his chest was not comfortable, but it made him reluctant to give up.
Xiao Ying, who was sitting on the ground playing, yawned and staggered towards Fengyun. Fengyun opened his hands and took her into his arms.
"Da Da ......" Xiao Ying rubbed her eyes and muttered in a low voice: "Horn ......"
Fengyun suspected that he had misheard, and looked down to see that Xiao Ying had already closed his eyes on his chest.
A smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and Fengyun stretched out his hands that had just improved, lifted Xiao Ying up, and put her back in a comfortable position.
Xiao Ying, who was sleeping with Fengyun, just smacked her mouth, and her two fat hands still pinched Fengyun's clothes tightly, unwilling to let go.
"Is she sleeping?" the fat aunt stepped forward with a smile and asked quips, "What did I just hear her call you?"
"It's nothing ......" Fengyun blushed for no reason and said vaguely.
"Haha!" The fat aunt laughed heartily twice, but quickly stopped, and laughed quietly: "Don't say it! If this little guy hadn't given birth to these two pairs of arms on his back, he would really look like a human doll, and he would have been handsome, and he would definitely be a beauty in the future." ”
Fengyun smiled and didn't speak.
"It's not early, you're asleep, aren't you?" asked the fat aunt with a smile.
Fengyun nodded, and the fat aunt picked him up, hugged him and put it on the animal skin under the grass shed. For a fat aunt with a big waist and a round waist, it is not difficult to move the wind and clouds.
Xiaoying kicked her legs unconsciously, and Fengyun put her beside her, but the collar was still held in her hand.
"Come, burn your feet, and sleep comfortably at night. The fat aunt came over with a wooden basin, which was replaced by the defective product when Fengyun taught Li Bian to make wooden barrels, and he used it as a footbath. The fat aunt will help him wash his feet and rub the muscles on his legs every day these days, which is what Li Shizhen said, and the fat aunt will implement it meticulously.
"I'll do it myself. Fengyun said as he sat up and sat up.
"It's okay!" the fat aunt smiled, "Haven't I washed it all these days?"
Fengyun is helpless, and he can only do what he wants.
After a while, he suddenly asked, "Fat aunt, can I ask you something?"
The fat aunt raised her head suspiciously and said, "What's the matter?"
"If ......" Fengyun paused and said, "If I wasn't from the Li tribe, would you still do this to me?"
"What nonsense?" The fat aunt smiled: "Aren't you my Li people?" The patriarch has said that after the autumn harvest, the sacrifice of recognizing the ancestors and returning to the ancestors will be held, and you will be the real Li people after recognizing your ancestors and returning to the ancestors. When the time comes, Xiaoguozi will also go, we haven't had a female doll awaken the witch war talent in our city for two years, but Xiaoguozi will definitely be able to do it, this girl plays with those boys all day long, and she has never lost a fight......"
"Fat aunt......" Seeing that the fat aunt was getting farther and farther away, Fengyun suddenly interrupted her words, and asked: "I mean, if, I mean if!
The fat aunt slowly stopped the movements in her hand, looked at Fengyun and opened her mouth but did not speak. Fengyun just stared at her eyes silently, not saying a word.
The fat aunt lowered her head, thought quietly for a long time, suddenly raised her head, and said with a smile: "What's the matter? Aren't the Yan people and the Huang people not human beings? Grandma Dawu said that we are all from the same origin, even if our Li people are separated from the Yan Division, we all identify with the same ancestor, and we are all brothers and sisters! Besides, how many good things did you bring with you to the clan? It's salt and new grain, a few days ago I went to deliver food to her father of the little fruit, and now the corn is about to grow as tall as a small tree, not to mention the method you got to build a pottery house, I am a woman, and after a few days, I have also seen a rough idea, if I take a few sisters, I can build a small pottery house! Anyone with a discerning eye can see that you are facing my Li people, and our Li people are also good and bad, if you are facing us, then you are Li people! No difference!"
A smile appeared at the corner of Fengyun's mouth, but he asked again: "Then Aunt Fat, then let me ask you one more question, what if I am not a human at all?"
Boom! As if she had been slapped on the head, the fat aunt was stunned, and for a long time, she suddenly looked down at Xiaoying, who was sleeping soundly, and a trace of fear gradually appeared in her eyes.
Looking at her gradually changing look, the smile on the corner of Fengyun's mouth disappeared, and her heart sank little by little, falling into the frozen bottomless abyss.
"Don't talk nonsense!" The fat aunt suddenly jumped up, covered his mouth, and said in a panic: "Don't talk nonsense! Don't talk nonsense! Don't let others hear it!"
Although he was slapped with a face washing his feet, Fengyun felt that the fat aunt's warm big hand was like the warm sun in winter, instantly tearing open the fog that had been lingering in his heart, and opened a crack in his heart full of ice. He could feel something, slowly waking up.
The fat aunt walked out of the shed quickly, looked left and right, and after a while, she patted her chest and came back happily and said, "Fortunately, you live far away." ”
Seeing that Fengyun opened her mouth and wanted to say something, the fat aunt reprimanded: "Don't say it! What nonsense are you talking about? Don't talk nonsense about this! No matter what you are, you are my fat aunt's eldest nephew! Go to sleep! Sleep and sleep!" With that, she lay down on the bunk at the other end of the hut with her clothes, and turned her back to ignore him.
Needless to say, Fengyun already understood what she meant, and a hot blood rushed directly into his brain, choking his eyes and nose.
Lying on his back, he took a deep breath and then slowly exhaled, his heart was extremely calm.
After thousands of years, he finally realized what it was like to be a human being.
Xiaoying in her ears breathed evenly, but the fat aunt at the other end of the grass shed tossed and shhed and sighed, Fengyun knew that today's few problems scared the fat aunt, but he was still very happy. He seemed to see the tall figure holding a mallet and glaring at Xuan Ming again, and now, she was no longer standing beside a Li person, but by his side.
For a long time after retrieving his true memories, he couldn't accept it. When the meaning of life is denied, when he truly realizes what he is, this kind of dazed and helpless has no one to talk to, but to seal it with cold ice and bury it deep in his heart. He refused to admit that he had lost the direction of his life and could not find the meaning of existence.
But today, he has regained his bearings.
He looked at himself again, no longer as a race, but as life itself, and his mind had never been clearer than it is today, perhaps, this is the so-called enlightenment, right?
I don't know how long I was excited, until the fat aunt snored, and Fengyun fell asleep in a daze.
The night wind is blowing, the broad leaves are rattling, the sun sets and the moon rises, and today's moon is only half exposed, hiding behind the clouds in shame.
Under the hazy moonlight, the sound of Suosuo like spring eating leaves on the back mountain surged from all directions, and black torrents poured out from under the grass blades in the forest, converging into a black tide, surging towards the grass shed at the foot of the mountain.
There was a rustling sound, and the black tide surrounded the grass shed, but it suddenly stopped, and when I looked closer, it was an ant tide formed by countless endless black ants!
In the ant tide, countless ants are connected with their heads and feet, climbing up, converging into an ant mountain, layer by layer of ant blocks peeling off, and a huge human face completely composed of ants rises from it.
The eyes of the huge human face looked at the sleeping Fengyun and Xiaoying, and did not move, countless ants stared in the same direction with black compound eyes, this feeling was creepy, and the Fengyun in the sleep also seemed to be touched, frowning slightly, but did not wake up.
The black tide surged, and countless ants crawled over, lifted Fengyun and Xiao Yingtuo, and slowly retreated towards the back mountain.
