Chapter Eighty-Eight: A Thousand Years
Chapter Eighty-Eight: A Thousand Years
The two ghosts escorted him to the side of the Nai He Bridge, and one of the ghosts said, "You have memories, and the bridge is guarded by gods, and you can't pass it." The only option for pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info is to jump into the Lethe River. ”
If you want to enter the path of reincarnation and be reincarnated, you must pass through the Nai He Bridge on the Lechuan River.
"As long as you don't forget this life, you are willing to do anything. Lu Yizhong responded.
The ghost said, "If you jump into the Lethe River, you will have to wait for a thousand years. Over the course of a thousand years, you will see your friends and family passing by the bridge again and again. But they can't see you on the bridge. Before jumping into the Lechuan River, you still have the opportunity to drink Meng Po soup, pass through the Nai He Bridge, and enter the path of reincarnation. ”
Lu Yizhong said without hesitation: "Two poor masters, please untie the chains on my body, I want to jump into the Lechuan River." ”
The ghost cha untied the iron chains on his body, "In the Lechuan River, there are poisonous insects and copper snakes, which are a thousand years of torture." ”
Lu Yizhong stepped forward and took two steps, "I've already decided, don't persuade me." "Jumped off. After a long time, he fell into the river with a thud. After a few breaths, he emerged from the water, and a gust of wind struck. When I turned my head to look, I saw a person on the water not far away.
At this time, the soul looked at Lu Yizhong with a side face, and said with a shocked face: "It's you?"
"Yes, it's me. What are you doing here?" Lu Yizhong asked unfriendly. Because this one next to it is Li Qingying's soul.
Li Qingying responded, "What are you doing, aren't you talking nonsense? I'll wait for your father to pass by on the bridge." Then Yin Yang said angrily, "Shouldn't you be, wait for Xia Xiyun, that slut." ”
"That's your former disciple, you don't remember the friendship between master and apprentice, but you say dirty words, it can be seen that your heart is like a snake and scorpion. Lu Yizhong said.
"I don't have time to deal with you, you can say whatever you want. Li Qingying looked up at the Nai He Bridge on the Lechuan River, and did not speak again, revealing anticipation and waiting in her eyes.
Lu Yizhong felt a heart-piercing pain in his body at this moment, as if there were thousands of poisonous insects biting him. Suddenly, ripples rippled in the distant waters, and it seemed as if something was swimming towards it. As we got closer, we could see that it was a long bronze snake. He subconsciously prepared to move his body, but he couldn't move at all.
The copper snake sped up and rushed towards him, unable to dodge at all. I bit off a finger at once, and this pain is several times stronger than the bite of a poisonous insect in the water. Then the bronze snake dived into the water again and disappeared.
There is also no sun, moon and stars here, the days are passing slowly, and he doesn't know how long it has passed, looking up at the bridge as obsessively as Li Qingying. The body was bitten by poisonous insects and copper snakes, and only the head floating on the water was intact.
His eyes suddenly lit up, a smile appeared on his face, and his mouth shouted "Daddy, Daddy"
And Li Qingying next to her was also very excited and shouted.
But the person on the Nai He Bridge didn't seem to hear anything, and walked across the Nai He Bridge step by step.
The surface of the Lechuan River seems to be very close to the Nai He Bridge, but in fact, it is thousands of miles away, and the souls in the river can see the souls on the Nai He Bridge, but the souls on the Nai He Bridge can't see the souls in the river, and they can't hear the voice of shouting themselves.
In this place where the sun, moon and stars are not visible, Lu Yizhong doesn't know how much time has passed, and the pain of the poisonous insect bite has never stopped.
saw Erya passing by the bridge one after another, and I don't know how long later, he saw Lu Baichuan passing by the bridge. and cry out no more, for they are not seen.
Later, Lu Yizhong saw the souls of his adoptive father, adoptive mother, relatives, and those who had seen and seen them pass over the bridge repeatedly. But I never saw Xia Xiyun's soul pass by the bridge, what the hell is going on, thinking to myself, "The souls of these people I know have walked on the bridge many times, how can a person's life have decades." Yun'er is not an immortal cultivator, so it is impossible to live that long. ”
I don't know how long it took, Lu Yizhong looked at the Nai He Bridge blankly, and suddenly an iron chain flew over from the side of the Nai He Bridge, entangled Li Qingying's soul, and was directly pulled away.
Lu Yizhong watched this scene and thought: "She died dozens of days earlier than me, could it be that the time of a thousand years has come." ”
In this last period of time, he still looked at the bridge infatuatedly. I still didn't see Xia Xiyun passing by there. I thought, "Yun'er is so kind, it is impossible for her soul to be wiped out." ”
Finally, when the time of a thousand years was up, an iron chain flew from the bridge to wrap around his neck and was pulled up. He stood next to the Nai He Bridge, looked down, and saw that his body was bitten all over his body, and the ghost sent him to escort him to the reincarnation path.
I heard the ghost say, "For a thousand years, your heart has not been extinguished, which shows that you are strong-willed. But you have seen the Sansheng Stone, and the fate of the next life belongs to the heavens, so I must take away the memories of the afterlife that you have seen on the Sansheng Stone. ”
The ghost cha took out a golden gourd, and silently recited it in his mouth, only to see a golden light from the gourd shining on Lu Yizhong's head.
His head was empty as if something had been sucked away. After a while, I really can't remember seeing the picture of the afterlife on the Sansheng Stone.
The ghost sent him to the path of reincarnation, "Hurry up and reincarnate, time waits for no one." "Loosen the chains around his neck.
Lu Yizhong looked at the empty reincarnation in front of him, he didn't know how deep it was, and he hesitated for a long time and refused to jump.
At this time, the ghost cha pushed him into the path of reincarnation, only to see the soul getting farther and farther away, and finally disappeared.
-----------------------------Boundary--------------------------------------------
It was a sunny noon, and a middle-aged man, dressed in a coarse cloth shirt, fidgeted under the eaves. Next to it sat a boy and a girl, about eleven or twelve years old.
And there was a "force, force" from the house,
"Ah......h
After a while, the wailing stopped abruptly, and there was no cry of a baby.
The middle-aged man's face turned white.
After a few breaths, a woman in her fifties came out of the house, her sleeves stained red with blood, and asked anxiously, "Difficult birth, heavy bleeding, big or small?"
The middle-aged man, with his eyes closed, seemed to be in extreme pain, and it was difficult to choose for a while.
The little girl next to her sobbed and wiped her eyes with her sleeve, "I want a mother...... Woo."
The little boy's eyes were crimson, he choked in a low voice, and raised his head, his eyes full of anticipation, "I want a mother too." ”
The old woman in her fifties was anxious, her face was blue, "You have an idea, after a long time, you can't keep the size of it." ”
The middle-aged man gritted his teeth and finally opened his eyes, "Keep it small." ”
"Dad, I hate you. I'll never see you again. The little girl drank and ran away as fast as she could, and ran away from home.
The little boy whimpered and sobbed.
The middle-aged man looked helplessly at his daughter's distant figure, and did not go out to catch up, he knew that his daughter was just impulsive, and she would definitely go home in a short time.
After the old woman entered the house, after a while, the cry of a baby was heard
The middle-aged man burst into tears and sat on the ground, holding his head in his hands.
At this time, the old woman came out of the house with a baby in her arms, "Congratulations, congratulations, it's a son." ”
The middle-aged man glanced at it and said an understatement "um", at this moment, for him, he didn't care whether it was a son or a daughter.
The old woman said in a deep voice, "Your wife is dying, she is dying. I've cleaned up the house, you go in and see her one last time. ”
The middle-aged man took three steps and made two steps, ran into the house, came to his wife's bed, and saw his wife lying on the bed, her face pale, and grabbed her hand, "You won't die, you won't." ”
"Don't be sad, we had an agreement before, if you have a difficult birth, you will keep it small. The middle-aged man's wife's voice was very weak, and she smiled slightly, "Let's name our son."
The old woman walked into the house with the newborn baby in her arms and put the baby next to the middle-aged man's wife, "I have something to do, you guys should be busy first." "Get out of here.
The middle-aged man looked at the baby next to his wife, "We don't have any culture, we were born at noon, so let's just call Fang Zhong." ”
At this time, the woman's voice became even weaker: "Don't be sad, you have to raise three children to adulthood." ”
"Hmm" the middle-aged man bowed his head in response, obviously very sad.
The little boy approached the house and came to the middle-aged man's side, "Mother, mother"
However, the woman lying on the bed did not answer again.
The baby on the bed, crying loudly at this time, could not be expressed by speaking, and could only cry loudly to express the grief in his heart.
The little man stood up, his eyes were crimson, and he pointed at the middle-aged man, "You killed your mother, Dad, why are you so ruthless." "Run away and rush out of the house.
The middle-aged man slowly stood up and shouted, "Fang Lin, you come back for me." He picked up the baby on the bed, walked out of the house, and came under the eaves, but there was no sign of the little boy. The helplessness and grief on his face added a little more, just as the so-called man doesn't flick when he has tears, but now he is looking into the distance, and two lines of tears are falling.
But at this moment, the baby in his arms immediately stopped crying, as if he could understand his father's mood at this time. If you cry out loud now, your father will worry for a longer time.
The middle-aged man looked down at the baby in his arms and muttered, "Fang Zhong, you are really sensible." ”
The baby immediately smiled.
In the afternoon, Fang Zhong's sister and brother returned. Later, with the help of neighbors and relatives, his mother was successfully buried.
Due to the funeral, the debts are heavy, which makes the already poor family even worse.
As the days slowly passed, Fang Zhong also grew up day by day, in the process of his growth. Due to his birth, he could not save his mother's life. Therefore, the eldest sister and the second brother are not good to him, and sometimes they are angry with him. But he doesn't complain because of this, because he is very sensible, he has the memory of his past life, and his thinking ability is no different from that of an adult. It's just that he's still young, and he can't speak much, so he can't express himself.
After a thousand years of torture in the Lechuan River, he still had an undying mind, so he was able to preserve the memory of his previous life. He wants to find someone in this life, and what is the fate of that person now? But what is the fate of this life? He doesn't know.
On this day, when he turned one year old, he sat under the eaves and watched his father who was busy in the yard. He was dressed in coarse cloth and wore open crotch pants.
But at this moment, four big men rushed into the courtyard, punched and kicked Fang Zhong's father, claiming that if he didn't pay back the money, he would drag his eldest sister to the Qinglou and sell it to pay off the debt.
Under the repeated pleas of Fang Zhong's father, the debtor was given a three-month grace period. The four big men then walked away, Fang Zhong's father was bruised, and the eldest sister Fang Yu and the second brother Fang Lin sobbed and helped their father up.
These prescriptions are all in their eyes, and their hearts are particularly unpleasant. At this moment, Fang Lin and Fang Yu glared at Fang Zhong fiercely, and then helped their father into the house.
After Fang Lin came out of the house, he slapped Fang Zhong hard, only to see five finger prints on his cheeks, and then swollen and high, pointing at Fang Zhong's nose, "You broom star, you killed your mother." ”
Fang Zhong suddenly felt that his face was hot and painful, but he didn't cry.
After Fang Yu got out of the house, he also slapped Fang Zhong and scolded loudly, "It's because of you, Fang Zhong, not only killed my mother, but also caused my father to be beaten today, where does our family have the money to pay off the debt, three months later, I will be sold to a brothel to pay off the debt." Pointing to Fang Zhong's nose, "These are all your faults, you know no." With a snap, Fang Zhong's other cheek immediately became red and swollen.
"You brothers and sisters, what are you doing? Fang Zhong was only one year old and didn't understand anything. The middle-aged man leaned against the door.
Fang Zhong turned his head to look at his father, his eyes leaked a resolute gaze, and he shouted softly: "Dad"
The middle-aged man, who seemed to be weak on his feet in an instant, leaned against the door and slowly slid to the ground, his body seemed to be paralyzed, his eyes leaked despair, and he said sadly: "Seeing that my daughter is going to be sent to a brothel to pay off her debts, but I can't do anything, is that a place for people?" immediately hugged his head and cried.
This family was already very poor, and the farm work in the fields depended on this middle-aged man. It's a pity, because Fang Lin and Fang Yu hold a grudge and don't take care of Fang Zhong. Middle-aged men not only have to do farm work, but also take care of children, which can be said to be both a father and a mother.
The middle-aged man, still very strong, after resting at home for a day or two, it was the busy farming season, and he still sowed all the crops with injuries. Otherwise, this autumn will definitely be a wasted harvest, and the life of the whole family will be even more difficult.
But the time of three months was coming soon, and that evening. The middle-aged man said to Fang Yu, "Girl, the three-month deadline is coming up in a few days, you go out and hide for a while." ”
"Dad, I don't want to go, I can't bear you. Fang Yu cried.
"Girl, if a girl enters that place, she will never have peace in her life. The middle-aged man's voice was low. At the urging of the middle-aged man, Fang Yu left in the evening.
These, squatting in the middle of the square next to him, were very sad. But he is still young, even if he has the memory of his past life and the mind of an adult, he is powerless in the face of all this. Because even speaking, it is incomplete. A child who is one year and three months old is faced with a lot of debt, even if he is a genius, there is nothing he can do.
Those who collect debts will add fists and kicks to their fathers at every turn, which is clearly to sell the eldest sister to the brothel, because his eldest sister is handsome, and after selling to the brothel, she can make a fortune. It's a lot more cost-effective than paying them back with money and interest. hurt his father, let alone repay his debts, and then everything will be natural and unjustifiable.
Thinking of this, Fang Zhong gritted his teeth, eager to beat the four big men violently, and beat them to their knees and beg for mercy. But the money still has to be repaid, and it is natural to repay the debt. Teach them a lesson, just don't send the eldest sister to a brothel.
