Peiyu felt someone blowing hot air on her face.
She opened her eyes suddenly, and met a pair of big copper bell-like eyeballs.
Peiyu was shocked, her whole body was stiff, her limbs were like rust, and she almost stopped breathing.
Tong Lingyan was also startled, pouted a few times, raised his neck and shouted: "Moo moo moo!"
here is…
Peiyu looked around, the crumbling thatched hut, the rotten roof that was so dilapidated that you could see a large area of the sky when you looked up, the few bundles of dry straw scattered around, and the little scalper in front of you who kept poking its hooves—finally came to a conclusion, here It is the cowshed where I lived when I was young.
She lowered her head and looked at her arm, which was as thin as two bones sticking out. She couldn't even pinch a thin layer of skin with her fingers, and it was covered with various bruises.
I stood up and jumped a few times, my leg was not broken, I should be eight years old now.
Before she was eight years old, her mother was still handcuffed in the cowshed.
At the age of eight and a half, her leg was broken by a villager.
Since my mother is not here now, and my leg is not broken, I am eight years old.
Peiyu narrowed her eyes slightly, and slightly raised her lips. If you wait ten years later, this smile will be praised as a bright moon and a clear breeze, forgetting the world when you see it, and it will make countless men from the fairy sect fascinated by it. But now, no matter how much she smiles, a face with no flesh and dirt is not considered pretty.
Eight years old is really a good age, Peiyu thought.
Half a year later, Suihan left Yan Village and went to the sage Zhuang to cultivate immortals. A year later, the entrance trial of Gushan started, and she joined Huaibai's school.
But now, everything has not started yet, just like a ball of clay is placed in front of her, how to knead the sculpture is entirely up to her mind.
The corners of Peiyu's lips are wider.
Really happy.
She didn't know why she was reborn, but after learning the Tao for a long time, she always had a stable mind about such weird things.
She still remembers that when she first entered Taoism, she listened to Huai Bai's "Tao Te Ching".
When it came to Chapter 32, "The great way is broad, but it can be left and right", Huai Bo asked her, do you know what this means.
Xiao Peiyu shook her head, and was immediately hit hard.
"Do you know why I beat you?" Huai Bai asked her with a smile.
Xiao Peiyu touched the red mark on her forehead, her eyes sparkled, "Is it because of my ignorance?"
Huai Bo smiled more cheerfully, "Come on, let me tell you, what this sentence means is that Tiandao is a crazy person who can do anything. You are walking on the road and you are suddenly struck to death by lightning, or A treasure chest fell from the sky and smashed you to death. This is a very normal thing. As immortal cultivators, we should keep our minds steady, you know?"
Xiao Peiyu nodded and asked, "But why did you hit me?"
Huai Bo gave her a hard blow again, looked at the aggrieved child, and said with a smile, "As a teacher, I'm preaching to you with my own words."
Later, Peiyu understood that the way of heaven and the master are the same, and they cannot be guessed by common sense. In a word, it means that the brain is sick and digs holes everywhere. As a person who falls into the hole, the mentality must be as stable as a rock, so that the Mount Tai collapses before it and the color does not change.
The sound of firecrackers came from outside the door, one overriding the other, crackling, making her ears hurt.
Peiyu pushed open the half-broken wooden door, and the cold wind slashed at her face. Now that she doesn't have a protective body, she can't help but tremble, and her teeth are banging.
It was a strange sight outside.
The sky is gloomy, the wind is blowing everywhere, and the day is like night.
Several streaks of red light swept across the sky and exploded in the night sky. On the night as black as ink, flowers bloom one after another like a brocade.
Peiyu raised her small head and looked at the sky with a thoughtful look on her face.
This firework-like thing is called Cloud Piercing Chiling, and it is made of the feathers of the legendary phoenix. Mortals who hold this object can ask for help from the fairy gate.
But Chi Ling is not common, and Yan Village can own this thing because Sui Han has a good bone, and it was favored by an elder in Shengren Village early on.
Now that ten Chi Lings have been released one after another, could it be that something major has happened
But in her memory, there was no such time.
Peiyu pursed her lips and walked out of the cowshed slowly. The little scalper came running over with a patter of hooves, and followed behind her.
Smoke was rising from every household, but the doors were wide open, and there was no one in the room. The food had not been touched, and it was placed on the table. It seemed that something happened to them during the meal, and they all ran out. In the southeast direction, the flames lit up, and the figures shook. The villagers should have gathered at the ancestral hall.
Peiyu swaggered to a house.
There was a plate of fried pork with chili on the table. Among the large slices of green chili, only one or two sporadic meat flakes could be seen.
Without being polite, she picked up the chopsticks on the table, picked out the only few pieces of meat in the pepper, and ate them all. Then she walked to the back kitchen, found some good cabbages on the stove, and fed them to Momoo little oxen.
"Lao Tzu, eat quickly, there are still many places waiting for us to get lucky."
A scalper named Lao Tzu: "Moo moo moo!"
After being lucky enough to finish several households, Peiyu patted her bulging belly and hiccupped contentedly. But Lao Tzu's belly was much larger than hers. After eating more than a dozen cabbages and radishes, he was still not full, so he stuck out his hooves and barked.
Peiyu patted it on the head, "Don't worry, I'll find you something to eat."
This scalper who understands words was once her benefactor.
Lao Tzu was born shortly after the death of her lunatic mother, and he was born like an ordinary cow. He would not eat grass and leaves; he would not drink water from the fields or ditches.
Peiyu had to go to the vegetable garden to steal the cabbage, and after washing it well, she would condescend, open her mouth, pick up a few good-colored and good-shaped cabbages, and chew and eat them. Otherwise, they would keep shouting at the top of their voices, making half the village sleepless.
Six months later, Peiyu was beaten and her leg was broken, and she was about to be sold. The ox escaped from Yan Village with her on his back, and ran for thousands of miles one after another. He drank mud and black water when he encountered it, and ate dry grass and rotten vegetables when he saw it. He ran to the foot of the lonely mountain. She was rescued, but my father Died and ascended to heaven.
In the next life, Peiyu looked at this delicate cow and thought it was extremely cute.
She took the cow to a big family's house and let it wait in the courtyard. She walked into the back kitchen with two Chinese cabbages in her arms. Just as she was about to leave, she heard a woman whimpering and crying.
The cries were intermittent and piercing, echoing in the gloomy empty house, it seemed truly terrifying.
Peiyu's footsteps were still not slow, as if she hadn't heard the sound of whimpering. She moved a clean basin, piled the cabbage in it, and then sat down on a small bench, watching the cattle bury their heads in eating.
"Woooooooooooooooo... help me, save me..."
The voice became clearer and clearer, Peiyu ignored it, and after Lao Tzu finished eating, he patted his head and signaled him to run back to the cowshed, but he walked towards the southeast ancestral hall by himself.
Walking near the ancestral hall, Peiyu noticed something was wrong.
The red mist is like flowing blood, surrounding the small village. Yan Village is like an isolated island in a sea of blood, about to be submerged by huge waves. After listening carefully, there are ghosts crying and howling wolves hidden in the red mist. I don't know what ghosts and monsters are hidden in it.
It's no wonder that the blazing feathers they issued didn't work, and they encountered blood mist. Peiyu secretly smiled, squeezed into the crowd, quietly watching the excitement.
"Village Chief, Chi Ling doesn't work, do you think we should go to the blood mist to find out?"
Everyone looked at a middle-aged man respectfully. This man was dressed in a long silk coat, with shiny hair hanging behind him, and holding a small round mirror tightly in his hand, he looked a bit nondescript.
The village head looked grave and did not speak.
"Isn't Xianmen willing to save us?" Whispering voices sounded from the corner, and the villagers began to talk about it.
"Immortals like them, how could they care about our life or death? What the hell is this, and why did they come to us?"
Peiyu mixed in the crowd, and said softly: "Isn't Shengrenzhuang coming to rescue us?" Her voice was not prominent in the noise, only the word Shengrenzhuang was bitten a little harder, which was audible. But I don't know who said it.
One after another, people echoed and said, "That's right, isn't Miss Han attracted by Elder Shengren Zhuang? Won't he come to save us?"
"Hey, I think he has forgotten it long ago. He is just a country girl. How can those saints take it to heart?"
"It's like something to pretend to be arrogant on weekdays. What's the use if something happens?"
The girl next to the village head was pale, her lips trembled slightly, and she explained in a soft voice: "It's not like this, it's not like this, Master must have not seen it... Daddy, please tell me..." She pulled Holding the village chief's sleeve, his little face was full of panic.
If in the past, Peiyu would have felt distressed seeing Sui Han's helpless appearance, she would have stepped forward to comfort her softly, and then punished those who spoke harshly one by one.
But now she just stood in the crowd, arched her body slightly, covered her lips with her hands, and bent her eyes with a smile.
She has always been like this, vengeful, ruthless, wearing the skin of a human, with the heart of a wolf. In her previous life, it took her seven to forty-nine days to peel Suihan's skin and bones, and grind her soul to pieces, causing her to be scattered in extreme pain.
In this life, she looked at the weak girl not far away, and suddenly thought of a more interesting way to play.
When the discussion became more and more unpleasant, the village chief finally couldn't bear it and scolded: "Shut up."
He glanced at the small mirror, and said in a deep voice: "It's not that the fairy gate is unwilling to help, the blood mist is too weird, and Chi Ling failed to send the message. In this way, Yang Ba, Song Wu, you take Chi Ling and go to the blood mist." Check it out."
The two men who were named muttered unhappily: "It's so dangerous in the blood mist, you just saw us as people with foreign surnames, so you assigned us to die."
As soon as the voice fell, several years old family members pointed at them and shouted: "What are you talking about?"
People with foreign surnames have long been dissatisfied with the village head's use of the name of the fairy gate, and have been doing nothing in farming, asking for worship. At the punch, two groups of people confront each other holding farm tools, and the conflict is about to break out.
But at this moment, whoever said lightly - "You bastards in cuckolds, we have slept all of your own women, so what face do you have to call out to Suijia?"
Immediately, the man with the foreign surname blushed, raised his fist and swung it over, cursing: "You are the old bastard! You grandson!"
They can't be blamed for overreacting. This matter touched a secret in the village.
Yan Village is poor and remote, with many vulgar customs, especially patriarchy. Most of the newborn baby girls are secretly disposed of before they have their first mouthful of breast milk. After several decades, there are fewer and fewer women in the village, and more and more bachelors.
At this time, the Sui family had a crooked idea, and they didn't know what method they used to get women from outside, and then sold them to the old bachelors in the village.
These women were young when they arrived in the village, and they were sold as child brides-in-law early. They are people who have not known anything since they were young, and they are separated from their hometown by thousands of mountains and rivers. They are trapped here and never return. Afterwards, they either die in depression, or after having children, they gradually forget the past and blend into it. .
As a seller of "goods", when Suijia sees a good-looking girl, he will take possession of her first. People in the village knew it well, but there was nothing they could do about it. They could only silently put a green hat on themselves and admit it.
But it's impossible to say that you don't hold grudges.
During the fight, several people were bleeding, curled up on the ground and wailed, the dust was raised, shouted loudly, and the scene was extremely chaotic.
No one noticed the girl standing in the dark corner.
But if someone came closer and took a closer look, they would find that her shoulders were trembling unceasingly, but it was not because of fear, and her brows and eyes were crooked with a smile on her slightly drooping face.
