C17 (2/2)
It seemed that I had walked for a long time. The darkness of the cave couldn't stir up any ripples in my heart. My heart was already dead. How could I still feel fear?!
The place where I now appeared was still the same road and the same village. Looking at the familiar scene in front of me, I felt a stabbing pain in my heart.
”Autumn Festival!” I will kill you! ”
I looked at the peaceful and peaceful village. This was the third time that I had appeared before my eyes. But I can't tell who's real and who's fake!
As I was lost in my thoughts, I heard a rustle beneath my feet and slowly looked down. I saw the ground slowly rise up beneath me, forming a human shape a head taller than me. It handed me a long knife, and when I glanced at it, it cracked like a clay figurine.
I picked up the knife. It was heavy and sharp. There was blood and pain on the blade of my index finger, but when I looked at it, there was no wound.
This was fake! This was an illusion!
I closed my eyes, picked up my knife and slowly walked into the village … When I walked out of the cave, I was covered in blood. The tips of my hair were still dripping, as if my heart were dripping with blood. I stuck out my tongue and tasted the blood on the corner of my mouth. There are my family and there are also mine.
I can't forget the village people's expressions when I raised my blade and was about to slash down. Aunt Wang was afraid, Teacher Wang was calm and free, Uncle Du was struggling with all his might, Father was regretful, Mother, Mother looked at me with astonishment and fear, but in the last moment, there was a smile and a gentle … The village doesn't have Xiao Yu and Xiao Bao. I don't know why, but I didn't think too much about it. To be able to kill one person less would be a rare luxury for me.
When I got back to the house, Ah Hu was so frightened by my appearance that he immediately went to fetch water for me to take a bath. I sat in the tub and dully wiped myself down with a rag. I could wash the blood off my body, but I couldn't wash away my sins! Even if it was an illusion, even if it was fake! The wounds on my body will heal, but the wounds on my heart!
After the shower, Ah Hu asked me what had happened. I didn't say anything, I didn't dare to tell him, and I didn't want to tell him. I just sat there alone on the hillside for a long, long time.
Tiger saw that I didn't eat or drink, so he just sat there all day, lost his soul, and finally couldn't take it anymore. With a stern face, he pushed me down to the ground, picked up a piece of fruit and stuffed it into my mouth. I didn't resist and just coughed out what was in my mouth.
”Tell me what happened!” What are you doing! If you want to die, then jump off, there's no meaning in torturing yourself right now! ”
Ah Hu angrily rebuked me. Seeing that I didn't have any reaction, he gave me a few slaps.
No pain, no feeling at all! I raised my head to look at A'Hu. After a long time, I finally cried out loud. I hugged A'Hu's shoulder and wailed.
I don't know how long I cried, but I slowly fell asleep.
In my dream, I saw my parents again. They were covered in fire, their faces were scorched and cold. They pointed at me and chuckled coldly. There was still Little Fatty around. Mister … ” What's the matter? Have you had a nightmare? ” Tiger shakes me awake and looks at me anxiously.
I shook my head and wiped away the cold sweat on my face. I suppressed my fear and said, ”Is there anything to eat? ”I'm hungry.”
Ah Hu laughed happily. He immediately turned around and took out a pile of fruits.
”Eat slowly, don't choke.”
When I was full, Ah Hu told me. Last night, someone told me to go to Elder Qiu Xi's place on the mountain top. When I heard the name Qiu Xi, I gritted my teeth, my eyes filled with rage.
Ah Hu saw the hatred on my face and seemed to have guessed something. He grabbed my shoulder and said, ”Fugui, endure it. Endure it. I believe that one day, you will achieve your goal!”
I raised my head and looked at A'Hu. With a hoarse voice, I asked, ”If I want to kill Qiu Xi one day and destroy the Sky Sect, will you help me?”
Ah Hu was stunned. Looking at his astonished and panicked expression, I was a little disappointed. Although it was within my expectations, I couldn't help but be disappointed. I gently pulled his hand away and walked towards the summit.
”No matter what you want to do, I will support you! I'm your brother, and you're my brother too! My brother for life! ”
A'Hu's voice came from behind, firm. My expression didn't change, and I didn't even stop walking. I kept walking towards the top of the mountain, but there was a warm feeling flowing through my heart.
At the top of the mountain, looking at that ordinary wooden house, I just stood at the door, the hatred in my eyes was no disguise, it was useless to hide it, I was already very tired, let this hatred, freedom.
I don't know how long I stood there. Maybe two hours, maybe five, maybe a day, maybe even a day without the creaking sound of the door opening. I would still be standing there.
”Do you hate me?”
”Yes sir!”
”I'll give you a chance. I still have five years left. If you can't kill me within those five years, it'll be your own fault. You can hate yourself.”
I stared up at him. ”Five years! ”Sure!”
Qiu Xi glanced at me. ”Come in. If I wanted to harm you, you would have died long ago.”
