Chapter 67
This is a very ordinary mountain village, where men can be seen hunting, women working at home, and a few children playing and chasing after Du Ziyuan and the others. Obviously, these are just phantoms created by A'Zhu, and they are the pictures in her memory back then.
Although everyone was curious about why she mentioned this small mountain village, they didn't ask any questions. A'Zhu led them to a very ordinary wooden house. Outside the door, Du Ziyuan could clearly hear a man's scolding and a woman's screaming, interspersed with the crying of a child. noisy.
A'Zhu opened the door, and the four of them saw the situation inside the room. A man was beating a woman with a cane, and a one-year-old child was lying on the bed not far away, and no one paid attention to it.
A'Zhu pointed at the woman and said: "She was sold to this village, she would often think of running away, but every time she would be 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 had nothing to do.
After beating his wife, the man threatened a few more words, chained her at home, and went hunting. The woman came to the bedside after he left, and the child was still crying. Du Ziyuan thought she would hug the child to coax him, but instead saw her slap the 1-year-old girl on the face.
A'Zhu said: "She hates everything in this village, including this child."
While speaking, the scene changed again. 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 all over her body, and there were many bruises on her body.
Snapped!
Another slap in the face, the woman who has aged a lot is still the same as before, hating her daughter, thinking that she is a nightmare of stains that she can't wash off.
The young girl covered her slapped face and quietly walked out of the house. She staggered to the back of the village, found a half-burnt tree and sat under it.
"Shushu, my mother beat me again today, I just want to pass her a glass of water..."
A'Zhu looked at this scene with a look of nostalgia on her face: "She has no friends in the village, and she likes to come to me to talk about anything. It seems that I 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 was sold into the mountains.
"She planned for several years, and finally burned everyone to death with a fire." A'Zhu said.
Xiao Jin couldn't help asking: "Where is that child? Was he also burned to death?"
A'Zhu shook her head: "No, she happened to be with me at that time, so she escaped unharmed."
Xiao Jin breathed a sigh of relief.
The screen changed to the side of the tree again. The little girl hid under the tree, watching the distant fire and shivering, when her mother found it. She called "Mother", thinking that her mother was here to protect her, but she was greeted by a pair of iron-like hands.
"At that time, I was so seriously injured that I couldn't save her. I could only watch her being strangled to death." A'Zhu sighed.
The faces of the four were not pretty, and they all clearly saw the despair in the little girl's eyes before she died.
After strangling her daughter to death, the woman jumped off the cliff and committed suicide, and the little girl's bones fell beside A'Zhu.
"Because she was contaminated with my breath, she was not discovered by the ghost messenger, but became a lonely ghost to accompany me. She was still the same as before, talking to me every day for 50 years."
"Fifty years later, I have regained part of my strength," A'Zhu pointed to his only remaining branch, "I used my remaining monster yuan to bear a fruit, and my fruit can life and death human flesh and bones, for It's also possible for a ghost to reinvent itself."
Xiao Jin was taken aback: "You still consume Yao Yuan when you are seriously injured, you don't want to live!?"
But Ah Zhu said with a smile: "I have lived long enough, her life has just begun, it shouldn't stop here."
The story is still going on. After helping the little girl to revive, Azhu exhausted too much and fell into a deep sleep. When she woke up again, the little girl was gone. However, in her deep sleep, she vaguely heard the little girl say something to her.
"Shushu, I will come back to see you, you have to wait for me."
Ah Zhu remembered this sentence and has been waiting for the little girl here. However, this wait lasted for 700 years, and the little girl never came back until her lifespan was about to run out. Maybe she has forgotten about it, maybe she has died 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 element, it turned out that being able to last for 700 years was already the limit. Now, even if those masters didn't keep an eye on her, she wouldn't be able to live for long.
"My second condition is that if one day she comes to me, I hope you can say 'Sorry, I missed the appointment' to her on my behalf." A'Zhu's voice sounded, and everyone returned to the stone room again.
"As for the gift, I can bear fruit again before I die. Although the effect will be worse, it should be of some value to you."
"I don't want your fruit!" Ling Xuedao suddenly shouted excitedly, "I owe you my life, I will definitely do what you say, this is not a deal!"
A'Zhu patted his head with the branch again: "Silly boy, you have your own life, you shouldn't be tied down in this kind of place."
"That's right," Xiao Jin, who had been silent all this time, suddenly said, "Since you have to wait, then just keep waiting."
Then, she walked to the tree: "You will not die."
I saw Xiaojin stretched out her arm, and with the other hand, she scratched her wrist, making a cut, and her blood sprayed directly onto A'Zhu's body.
"What are you doing!?" Everyone was taken aback by her sudden behavior, especially Du Ziyuan. He could clearly see that there was something wrong with Xiao Jin's expression. It was definitely not because he was moved by the story that he decided to help A'Zhu, but had a deeper reason.
It's just... "Are you crazy!" Du Ziyuan stepped forward to stop Xiao Jin, "Your own injuries are still not healed, and you don't want to live if you are bleeding at this time!"
Xiao Jin turned around and smiled at him: "It's okay, I'm a dragon, my life is tough, it's not easy to die, it's just... a little dizzy."
A'Zhu's branch quickly wrapped around her wrist, blocking the blood gushing out, but Xiao Jin had already lost a lot of essence and blood just now, and fainted directly in Du Ziyuan's arms.
