The early morning sun, I don't know when it has already penetrated the thin clouds like light yarn, gently swaying among the green mountains and green waters, occasionally a few birds fly by, singing happily, the light figure, occasionally skimming the eaves where the smoke rises, and finally falling on the branches not far away, tilting his head, looking at a figure not far away.
"Its rain and its rain, and the sun rises. I wish to speak and be willing. The grass is the back of the tree. May words make my heart sloppy. The voice grew from afar, crisp and vivid, and when the man approached, he was no more than a child of the age of the horn. The child was dressed in coarse linen clothes, and his clothes were messily patched, but they were fresh and clean, and his little pale face, even though it was early in the morning, had a few drops of sweat, and his slender figure looked even thinner on this rugged path.
Habitually stretched out his hand to straighten the backpack that straddled beside him, wiped the sweat on his forehead, and glanced at the gradually brightening clouds, Xu Lin suddenly thought of the joke that Mr. said yesterday, and unconsciously began to recite. The more I read, the more intoxicated I became, and although I didn't understand the meaning of the poem very well, what Mr. taught was always right, and if it was right, I had to write it down, and I liked it.
I don't know how long I walked, I saw a big tree on the side of the road, the tree was very big, it is said that when my father's father, this tree was so big, and now, I don't know how many years have passed, this big tree is still luxuriant, lush as before. Seeing this big tree, then the school is close, as usual, Xu Lin has to rest here on the way to school every day, and then take out the flatbread made by his grandmother from the backpack with patches, while eating, while thinking about the joke just now, but his eyes are looking at a house in the distance, where there is Xu Lin's favorite school, and there are many playmates, and the mood is extremely comfortable.
The flatbread is very big, because it is the food of the day, Xu Lin always eats a few bites, and he feels that he is not too hungry, so he carefully wants to put it in the cloth bag, but at this moment, a strange sound suddenly came from the top of his head, and the sound came suddenly, so that Xu Lin, who was unprepared, was startled.
Standing up in a hurry, Xu Lin turned around and looked up, and on the big tree in front of him, there was an unkempt old Taoist lying lazily on the branch. The old Taoist was dressed in a black Taoist robe, a little shabby, especially on his face, which was originally very dark, there was a big red spot of blood red, a pair of small eyes, and a greed was revealed in his laziness, and where his gaze was was the big cake in Xu Lin's hand.
It seems to have been integrated with the big tree, if it weren't for the old Taoist suddenly speaking, Xu Lin wouldn't have been able to show up at all, at this time, looking at this old Taoist who looked like a beggar, Xu Lin was a little scared, but he still unconsciously handed over the big cake. The old Taoist's originally lazy expression suddenly disappeared, he actually sat up, grabbed the big cake handed over, chewed it heavily, and opened and closed it quickly with his snow-white teeth, and the big cake also kept getting smaller and smaller at a degree visible to the naked eye, Xu Lin looked at this scene in surprise.
The surroundings were very quiet, Xu Lin didn't make a sound, just watched quietly, this seemed to be very interesting, at least in Xu Lin's opinion, he had never seen anyone eat so fast, until the old Taoist finished eating the flatbread, Xu Lin still felt very interesting, and at the same time a little scared, this kind of fear suddenly spread in a corner of the body.
After the old Taoist finished eating the flatbread, there was a kind of satisfaction in his eyes, this satisfaction, Xu Lin seemed to be very familiar, every day when he came home from school, his grandmother was always waiting for him at the entrance of the village, and when he saw himself coming, there was such a feeling in his aunt's eyes. Whenever my father saw the green crops, he seemed to have such a look.
"You're good. After looking at it for a long time, the old Taoist suddenly said.
Xu Lin wanted to say something, but after listening to the voice of the old Taoist, a cold feeling that he had never felt before instantly spread all over his body, and there was a feeling of numbness and itching all over his body, which was indescribable, but Xu Lin was really scared at this time.
I really want to turn around and run, this kind of thought suddenly flashed in my mind, can I really escape? Xu Lin began to tremble, looking at the pair of small eyes in horror, the red spot that covered half of his face, and the white teeth, and the Taoist expression seemed to be laughing.
"A piece of flatbread is also a favor. The old man blinked, and the gaze in his eyes was no longer aggressive, but became more greedy.
"Kindness is forgiven, it's just a piece of cake, I'm in a hurry, so I'll leave. Xu Linpi finished smiling, grabbed the cloth bag, turned around and was about to run away, he was really a little frightened.
But what happened next didn't seem to be up to Xu Lin anymore. I saw that the old Taoist was stunned for a moment, then rattled a few times, stretched out his dry fingers, and pointed at Xu Lin is and said: "The kindness I want to give, the people in the world, I want to break my head and want it, your doll is strange, but I like it even more." After finishing speaking, he laughed a few times and suddenly shouted: "Lag!"
Xu Lin didn't know what was born, but he felt as if this body was not his own all of a sudden, and he was unconscious. Overhead, at this time, a dark cloud as thick as ink suddenly floated, the strange smile in the dark cloud was like thunder, a pair of blood-red eyes, staring at himself tightly, the dark cloud slowly descended, until Xu Lin's body was submerged in it. This feeling was strange, only the consciousness was still there, and the other sensations seemed to disappear all at once, and it was pitch black all around.
Suddenly like a dream, it seems to be a dream, because only in a dream can there be such a scene, Xu Lin suddenly missed Grandma, missed Grandma's arms, missed Grandma's gentle smile, and wanted Grandma to wake up from this terrible dream, but when the pair of blood-red eyes appeared again, Xu Lin's consciousness was suddenly cold, and it seemed that he couldn't think anymore, he could only look and feel.
Isn't there light after the darkness, Xu Lin thought. But the current situation completely turned the common sense he knew. The darkness around them was slowly losing its color, but the corresponding light was gone, but it was red, a blood-red, thick as blood.
"This is my world. Xu Lin's consciousness suddenly came from the voice of the old Taoist, but this voice was a little strange, Xu Lin didn't know how to describe it, it could only be like the words of the world, cold and abnormal.
Xu Lin wanted to speak, he opened his mouth, his lips didn't move, so there was no sound, Xu Lin wanted to beg for mercy, but his lips didn't move, so he couldn't beg for mercy, he could only listen, he could only see, so Xu Lin wanted to cry, but his eyes were dry, he didn't blink, and his tears were gone.
"Isn't it sad? Isn't it scared? Isn't it helpless?" the old man laughed strangely, his voice was like thunder, and the sound was like a pinprick in his ears.
Xu Lin uncomfortably wanted to make a sound, but his lips didn't move, his whole body was like this, he couldn't feel it, but this pain was so real, only in his eyes, sometimes frightened, sometimes painful looks, people could feel his emotions change. At this moment, the old Taoist's laughter suddenly stopped, as if he was a little stunned, and then he laughed ecstatically in an instant, the laughter was a little crazy, a little crazy, but in Xu Lin's ears, it was like thunder rolling, as if this dark world was about to drown itself in it at any time.
"Eight characters are pure yin, four pillars are pure yin, you are a pure yin person born when the yin year is yin and the moon is cloudy?" haha, the heavens are tired of me, the heavens are tired of me!" The old Taoist's voice was completely crazy, like a wave, completely drowning Xu Lin in it.
The world of the Taoist is Xu Lin's world, and the boundless darkness is gradually dying out, replaced by red and blood. The blood was viscous, so when he spread to Xu Lin's side, the blood threads like spider webs began to wrap around Xu Lin's body until Xu Lin was covered with red silk threads and could no longer find any gaps. But the strange thing is that Xu Lin did not feel breathing difficulties because of this, on the contrary, he could feel that the blood around his body seemed to be boiling and burning, and the pain of being burned like fire was experienced by Xu Lin, but at that time, it was just his fingers, and at this time it was his whole body. The pain as if swallowed by the fire made Xu Lin scream loudly in his heart, although no one could hear it, but Xu Lin had already entered into instinctive fear, which was a natural reaction of his body, not something he could control.
When the consciousness was gradually blurred, when the body was numb, in Xu Lin's heart, there seemed to be a trace of longing, light, so there was really light. That glimmer of light shone directly into Xu Lin's body through the endless blood red, although it was a glimmer of light, Xu Lin still felt warmth, it was his mother's warm chest, his father's rough big hands, it was Mr.'s approving look, it was the hearty laughter of his partners, this qiē was so beautiful, Xu Lin smiled, so he fell asleep.
It seems that Xu Lin's spiritual world is completely in the hands of the old Taoist, and his dry and withered face is also smiling at this time, but it is not sympathy, nor praise, but pity, and then satisfaction.
People always expect a miracle in the most desperate times. The old Taoist seems to have seen a lot, this kind of painful life, and then give a glimmer of hope, and finally ruthlessly crush this glimmer of hope, for him is always happy, this process brings him an indescribable pleasure, like a rich meal.
"Then, it's time to enjoy the last taste and the most wonderful moment. The old Taoist was looking forward to it with some excitement, looking at Xu Lin, who was wrapped in blood, the moment he had completely integrated with his world, the old Taoist's eyes widened, and his eyes were full of blood, how excited he was, as if he had smelled the arrival of the smell of meat.
A burst of pain, touching the heart, feeling the body, spreading all over the body, a fire-like pain, a heart-rending cry, suddenly burst out of Xu Lin's heart. Suddenly opened his eyes, what came into his eyes was boundless red, what he felt was the pain that penetrated deep into the bone marrow, and there was no longer any warmth, Grandma, Abba, Mr., partners, those vivid faces, suddenly became hideous, suddenly pounced, biting Xu Lin's body, and Xu Lin could only struggle heartbreakingly.
The strange laughter sounded again, this time no longer crazy, but it was extremely enjoyable, so delicious, so pure pain, only simple people can have it, the old Taoist thought silently, silently experienced, it seemed that there was also a flush on the black face, as if drunk with wine.
"How about you send a flatbread and give you a world in return?" laughed again, but at this time he had a trace of expectation, looking forward to a bigger feast, an ultimate enjoyment.
