What do people see before they die
He always thought that he should first see the woman who made him suffer so much that he wanted to die, the woman who had been trapping him like a spell and making him unable to get out of the gloomy and sad atmosphere. But in fact, it was not the case. The first person Zhu Li thought of was his parents who gave birth to him and raised him. Their voices and faces were still clearly visible, and they were still so kind and gentle, full of sunshine-like warmth.
At the moment when he was on the verge of losing consciousness, Zhu Li's heart was filled with regret.
He regretted that he should not have lingered in sorrow like this, he regretted that he lost the chance before he could fulfill his filial piety, he regretted why he lingered on the person who did not love him and made those who loved and pitied him suffer.
Broken heart
In this era, can a man who has never experienced a broken heart be considered a complete man
But the only thing he did not regret was pushing the old man away. Although this action cost him his life, he felt at peace, guilt-free, proud, and even a little bit proud. A real man in the world will do what he should not do.
In the haze, Zhu Li felt an antique book suddenly burst out with brilliant divine light, instantly wrapping his consciousness in the divine light, and suddenly he entered into endless darkness.
... ... .
"Wuwu, don't come over. Big brother will wake up soon. Ning'er will let big brother beat you." In the haze, Zhu Li seemed to hear the sound of terrified sobbing. The voice was childish and trembling, full of endless fear and cowardice.
"Hahaha, girl, who are you trying to scare? Your damn brother is long dead. If he wasn't there, we would have boiled you long ago."
"However, your words do remind us that your elder brother is much bigger than you and should not be wasted. Hahaha, we'll cook him together later so that you two brothers and sisters will have company on the road to the underworld. Hahaha." This was the voice of a young man. His voice was ferocious and difficult, full of cruel excitement, which made people shudder and feel cold.
“Hahaha, damn it, this is a damn world, even the tree bark and grass roots have been snatched away. Luckily I met you two little guys. I can finally have a good meal, hahaha.” This was the voice of another young man, equally cruel, brutal and inhumane.
"You two bastards, what are you talking about? Hurry and bring the person to me. Can't you see I'm already angry?" This was the voice of a big man, rude and angry, full of impatient temper.
"Okay, okay, Brother Biao, don't be angry, we'll be there right away." The young man with a difficult accent seemed unable to bear the other person's anger, and quickly responded in a flattering manner.
"Don't come over here, don't come over here, wuwuwu, brother, brother, the bad guys, the bad guys are going to eat us, wake up quickly." Zhu Li felt someone pushing him. The small hand that touched his skin was cold and delicate, and there seemed to be a faint moisture on his hand, but he didn't know whether it was sweat or tears.
The little girl's petite body was trembling, and even Zhu Li could feel it. Her sobbing was clearly audible, making him more conscious.
"Stop shouting. I've told you that your elder brother died a long time ago. There's no use shouting. Girl, just get into the pot obediently, or you'll save yourself from being tortured by us." There were footsteps approaching. It should be the two young men who spoke earlier, because one of them was still talking, and the voice was getting closer and closer.
Zhu Li instinctively felt
The life-threatening crisis was approaching with the sound of hurried footsteps. Besides, there was a trembling little girl beside him. She was sobbing and holding his arm tightly, like a drowning person grabbing the last straw.
"Brother, woo woo, brother..."
Although Zhu Li didn't understand what was going on, the sobbing and fearful cries of the little girl and the gloomy and arrogant words of the two young men made him desperate. He suddenly broke free from the blockade of consciousness and woke up suddenly.
He sat up suddenly, and without bothering to check who the girl next to him was, Zhu Li opened his eyes and looked in the direction where the footsteps came from.
"Ah, brother, brother is awake, woo woo, brother, the bad guys, they want to eat Ning'er."
"Oh my god, how is it possible, he, he, he sat up..., he is pretending to be dead, he is pretending to be dead, he is pretending to be dead"
What Zhu Li saw was two skinny young men in tattered clothes with horrified expressions. They looked at him as if they had seen a ghost taking their life.
Their faces were pale and their bodies were trembling. Their steps towards Zhu Li and the little girl paused for a moment, and they suddenly turned around and fled in panic into the distance, shouting and crawling.
In the direction they fled, there was a bonfire, and above the bonfire was a simple stove. On the stove was a large pot, which was half filled with water. Next to the pot, a big man was sitting cross-legged.
Although the big man was wearing tattered clothes and had a pale face, he was extremely sturdy and huge in size, and his whole body was filled with a vicious and fierce aura. But now, the look he gave Zhu Li was also full of shock and disbelief.
Zhu Li ignored them. As the two young men fled, the fatal crisis gradually disappeared.
He first turned his head to look at his side, where a little girl of five or six years old was curled up. She was looking at him with tears in her eyes. When she saw Zhu Li wake up, she seemed to have found her backbone, and with a "wow", she threw herself into Zhu Li's arms.
"Wow, woooo, brother, they, they wanted to eat us just now. Ning'er is so scared, woooo." The little girl sobbed with snot and tears, her voice trembling with fear.
Zhu Li gently raised her hand and involuntarily stroked the little girl's head. A feeling of blood connection arose spontaneously, so obvious and so warm. It was the feeling that blood is thicker than water, and it was the family affection that could not be cut off.
Zhu Li's hands were a little stiff. He frowned with a puzzled look. He was clearly dead, so why did he suddenly come back to life, and where was this place
And who is this little girl, and why does she keep calling me "brother"
After waking up, I subconsciously wanted to hold her in my arms and take good care of her. This was the instinct of the body, not the guidance of reason, as if the little girl was the closest person in my life. What was going on
The barren and dilapidated forest, the stripped trees, even the delicate branches pulled out of the trees, and the ground without any grass growing in the cold wind, everything seemed very strange.
Also, what's going on with the three people opposite? Their attire is also very strange. Although it is tattered, it still has an ancient flavor. It seems that they are going to cook and eat themselves and the little girl in their arms.
This thought suddenly caused my brain to become violent.
Zhu Li groaned in pain and seemed to be about to faint again. His whole body began to shake.
However, due to the stimulation of the sense of crisis, he was finally able to stay awake. At this moment of pain, his expression was a little dazed, and he suddenly understood what had happened.
He traveled through time, or to be more precise, he came back to life through another body, and the body he occupied was the body of the older brother of the little girl next to him. The huge pain in his mind was the stabbing pain that erupted when the memories merged.
Through that strange memory, Zhu Li understood his current situation. The little girl was named Zhu Ning'er, and her brother, whose body was occupied by Zhu Li, was also a boy named Zhu Li.
The world was in chaos and smoke of war was rising everywhere.
However, near the end of the year, the town suffered the baptism of war. A group of remnant soldiers who came from nowhere destroyed the entire town like bandits. Countless townspeople were killed and countless properties were robbed. There was no other way, so Zhu Li's parents had to take them and follow many fellow villagers to flee their hometown.
There were many people fleeing, not just those from their town. A large group of familiar and unfamiliar people were fleeing, bumping along the way. Wherever they passed, there were only ruins, nine out of ten houses were empty, flocks of black crows, and rotting corpses everywhere.
In such a desolate and tragic scene, some bandits would suddenly rush out from time to time. These were starving people who had no other choice but to rob anyone they saw.
Zhu Li and his friends were suddenly attacked by bandits. Many people were killed instantly and their only belongings were looted. In order to protect them, their parents stayed behind to fight the bandits, but let him and his sister escape first. But now, the family is separated, or in other words, they can't find their parents.
Having lost their homes, the land they depended on for survival, and having their food robbed by bandits, the refugees instantly became like a hungry army of locusts passing through a border. Wherever they passed, there was nothing left, and almost everything edible was eaten up.
People were leaving without food, and people were eating their own children and killing each other to fill their stomachs. Fortunately, Zhu Li's father, Zhu Chun, was a skilled martial artist, and Zhu Li also received some instruction from his father. This enabled a boy of twelve or thirteen to survive in such a harsh environment.
However, man is like iron and food is like steel. If you don't eat for a meal, you will feel hungry. Zhu Li finally found some food, but it was not enough for the brother and sister. In order to take good care of his sister, this upright boy actually starved to death.
With the memories before he got his body, Zhu Li recognized the three people opposite him. These three people were from the same town as him. They were originally three ruffians. The sturdy man was named Yang Biao, and the two young men, one of them was called Qingpi, but his specific surname and name had long been forgotten by others. As for the other one, his name was Sha Yao.
Recently they have been following Zhu Li and his sister. Before he starved to death, the young Zhu Li was so naive that he did not realize that they had been harboring evil intentions for a long time.
The three of them had been planning to use the siblings as food from the beginning. If Zhu Li had not resurrected through borrowing someone's corpse, the fate of the little girl and her brother's body would have been unimaginable.
After all, Zhu Li was no longer the naive boy he used to be. He realized that the situation was very bad. While he tied his sister to his chest with a belt like a little kangaroo, he silently thought about how to escape from the capture of the three people opposite.
