Chapter 2 The Past and the Past
It is a small village that is calm and peaceful. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
People live a life of indisputability, working at sunrise and resting at sunset.
In the early morning, the villagers got up in the morning light and the sound of roosters, and white smoke began to rise from the roof, and some villagers went out to do more work in order to catch the cool of the morning, and left the village with hoes without breakfast.
At the entrance of the village, a child rode a cow out of the village, and some villagers saw the child and greeted them familiarly.
"Ah Qiu, went to herd the cattle so early, did you have breakfast?"
"Uncle Ming, I've already eaten. Ye Qiu replied on the back of the cow.
Ye Qiu has no parents since he was a child, he grew up under the care of his second uncle's family, and everyone in the village took good care of him.
Ye Qiu is now fourteen years old, but probably because of malnutrition, his body is not as tall as that of an average child of this age, and he looks like a child who is less than ten years old.
This village is called Yejia Village, most of the people in the village are surnamed Ye, the people in the village are very simple, most of them are poor, but everyone is still happy.
The best life in the village is Ye Qiu's second uncle's house, which has more than 100 acres of land and two cows at home.
Ye Qiu got up early this morning, he didn't actually eat breakfast, it wasn't that his second uncle's family abused him, but yesterday he found a wild fruit forest on a small barren mountain outside the village, it was late at that time, he didn't move, and now he was going to take advantage of the early morning to go over and have a full meal.
He drooled a little when he thought about the green, and after greeting the villagers warmly along the way, Ye Qiu rode the ox towards the green that belonged to him.
Gradually, there is a little distance from the village, and you can only see the vague shadow of the village from a distance, and the fields of the villagers are all near the village, and it is rare to plant the fields so far.
Ye Qiu thought in his heart, maybe it was because of this reason, so this fruit forest was not discovered, and he couldn't help but feel a sense of joy in his heart.
To tell the truth, the people in the village live a very tight life on weekdays, and many families are just hungry in a famine year, and they rarely have the opportunity to eat these fruits and the like.
As a child who has no parents since he was a child, although the second uncle's family is not hungry, the food is definitely not much better, and this is a good opportunity to improve the food.
Turning a hill, the village is completely invisible, and what appears in front of me is indeed a large fruit forest, a large red area, which is very attractive to look at.
Ye Qiu jumped off the cow's back, let go of the cow and let it go to eat grass by itself, anyway, the people in this wilderness forest are not afraid that it will eat the crops.
Approaching a fruit tree, Ye Qiu Ma climbed up the tree, picked a fruit with his hand, wiped it on his pants, and then took a bite, and suddenly the fragrant liquid filled between his mouth.
Ye Qiu began to lie down on a branch and eat a lot.
It's strange to say, this fruit looks like a peach but not a peach, like a pear but not a pear, it's very weird, but how can Ye Qiu, a rural child, recognize so much, and before he knows it, there are more than a dozen fruits in his stomach.
Ye Qiu gave a big burp in satisfaction, but at this time, a burst of drunkenness hit his brain, Ye Qiu only felt that his brain began to sink, and he didn't listen to the call, and after struggling hard for a while, he fell asleep on the tree.
............
I don't know how long it took, Ye Qiu opened his eyes, and when he looked around, he saw a starry sky, and the four fields were pitch black.
Ye Qiu slowly remembered what had happened, and couldn't help but pat his head, "Oops, it must be that this damn fruit is poisonous, causing me to fall asleep, I don't know where my cow went, I have to go back quickly!"
Jumping off the tree where he had slept for a day, Ye Qiu looked around in the dark for the cow, but where to find it, the cow had long since disappeared.
"It's over, it's over, it's over. Ye Qiu hurriedly turned around, "In this wilderness, maybe the cow was eaten by the beast, how can I go back to deal with it now." ”
Ye Qiu couldn't help but think of the second aunt's fat face that could barely see the facial features, although the second uncle has always been very good to him, but in fact, the power of the family is in the hands of the second aunt, who made the second uncle a afraid of his wife.
The second aunt has long been dissatisfied with the fact that she has been eating their house for so many years, and living in their house has long been dissatisfied, Ye Qiu has long felt this, although Ye Qiu thinks that the work she has done for their family over the years is more than enough for her own rations, but there is no way, people are under the eaves.
This time I lost the cow, maybe I will be scolded by the second aunt, maybe I will drive myself out from now on.
Unwilling to give up, Ye Qiu looked around the neighborhood again, but there was still no trace of the cow.
A few hours later, Ye Qiu estimated that the second uncle's family should fall asleep, so he walked towards the village.
Ye Qiu's heart has always been hanging, he doesn't know what the fate awaits him, and when he entered the village, Ye Qiu, who didn't dare to walk through the main gate, sneaked to the backyard of his second uncle's house.
The village was quiet and terrifying, there wasn't even a dog barking, and there was some bloody smell wafting in the air, if it was normal, Ye Qiu might have discovered all this abnormality.
But at this moment, Ye Qiu's mind was full of the cow he had lost, and the punishment that might come tomorrow, so he didn't find all this.
Found the dog hole in the backyard, Ye Qiu's small body went into it smoothly, he sneaked into the bed of his small broken house, everything went unexpectedly smoothly, no one found Ye Qiu.
Lying on his small bed, Ye Qiu tossed and turned, unable to sleep.
But, after all, it was a child, in the dead of night, sleepiness hit him one after another, and Ye Qiu still fell asleep in fear of tomorrow.
......
"Get up, hey, kid, get up!"
Ye Qiu was eating the fruit in his dream, the cow didn't run, and his uncle and aunt were also smiling at him kindly, but he heard someone constantly screaming in his ear.
Opening his eyes in a daze, Ye Qiu found that there were two people in front of him who didn't know him at all, "Who are you, how can you be in my house." ”
One of the two looked at the fatter one, and said, "We are monks of the Heavenly Spirit Sect, and we happened to pass by you when we went down the mountain to practice, but we found ......" but did not continue, with a slightly frightened expression on his face.
The short, thin monk next to him said, "Come out with us and have a look." ”
Ye Qiu still hadn't figured out what was going on, why did two strangers suddenly run to his house?
With doubts on his face, Ye Qiu followed the two to the hall, "Second uncle, second aunt" Ye Qiu shouted before he could enter.
But no one in the room responded, quietly, dead silence.
"Second uncle, second aunt!" Ye Qiu had a bad premonition in his heart, but he still shouted without giving up.
"Stop shouting, come and see. ”
It was the short, thin monk who spoke, in his uncle's bedroom.
Ye Qiu heard the sound and ran in directly.
But the scene that appeared in front of him remained in his mind forever, and it could not be erased, Ye Qiu had never seen such a terrifying scene since he was a child, and it was his only relative in this world who died.
In the room, there were two dead and terrifying dried corpses, staring wide, as if they had been sucked alive with blood.
Somehow, the blood in his brain began to surge, and as soon as his eyes were dark, Ye Qiu only came and shouted "Second Uncle" vaguely before he fainted again.
"Hey, hey," the thin monk clearly didn't expect this, "why did he faint again," he said, pinching the trick in his hand, and a glimmer of light began to converge at his fingertips.
"Forget it, junior brother, let him sleep for a while, after all, he is still a child, and he may not be able to stand such a blow, let's take him back to the sect first." ”
When the thin monk heard this, he stopped casting the spell, and the aura that had gathered on his fingertips dissipated again.
The fat monk leaned over and picked up Ye Qiu, pinched the sword trick with one hand, a flying sword appeared out of thin air, the thin monk also summoned the flying sword, and the two of them rushed to the sky.
The sun began to show its head at this time, and it was the same morning, but there were no more roosters and dogs barking, and the laughter of the villagers.
The whole village was silent, and the blood that permeated the sky above it could be seen in the distance.
