41. New pull
42. New pull
until my adoptive parents came back, Ji Xiaoqing came back and had dinner, and my father called me to his room.
"I want to talk to you."
"Maybe it should be."
"I think you should know about this."
"What's the matter?"
My father was stunned. After he sat down, he lit a cigarette and handed it to me. He lit another cigarette.
"I think I should tell you that you have grown up and you are from us."
After my father finished speaking, his eyes were wet. I didn't speak, and my expression didn't change much. I already know that I have calmed down. At most, they don't want me.
"In the second year you brought, your mother had Ji Xiaoqing. Of course, his surname should be Zhang, but after Xiao was born, he was ill and has been sick all the time. Someone has told fortunes. You can't raise them together. You have to separate. I don't believe it at all, but she kept getting sick. Later, I sent him to my friend. After the friend's foster care, she was really not sick. How many times I tried, only she came back and got sick. Later, the fortune teller told me to send you away, and Ji Xiaoqing was fine, but we couldn't bear it. We also wanted to give you to other people, but I didn't think it was done by people. We decided to take Xiao Send it away and give it to my comrade-in-arms surnamed Ji. His family has never had children, and he also likes Xiaoqing. Who knows, when Xiaoqing was 14 years old, this comrade-in-arms and his wife had a car accident and died. We wanted to bring Xiaoqing back, but when the comrade-in-arms was dying, they sent her to Professor Liu. We still Yu Guo was worried that she would get her back and get sick, so she didn't pick her up.
After my father finished speaking, he cried and covered his face. I rarely saw him cry.
"Does Xiaoqing know?"
"She didn't know that we recognized her as a goddaughter."
I hugged my father and cried. I can only thank them for doing this. I knelt down.
"I think I should get out of here."
I know what my father means.
"I think you should marry Xiaoqing, which is what we mean."
"I'll leave here first and go with the second master. Let me think about it again."
I think what the second master said is true. I can't be with Ji Xiaoqing. I have made Ji Xiao miserable enough. That day, I left with the second master. Ji Xiao gently hugged me and refused to let me go, but I still left.
The second master seems to be very happy. When others are in pain, he is happy.
I decided to go back to Xinla City and won't come back.
My second master and I returned to Xinla City. I slept for three days and three nights. When I slept, I still felt pain, uncomfortable and uncomfortable. I sat at the big pillar in a daze.
It was very cold that day, but I didn't feel very cold. The second master came over, put on a dress for me, and left.
I think I should face this reality. Anyway, I have to face it.
After dark, I went to the second master's room for a drink.
"My biological parents..."
"I died in that disaster."
Actually, I can think of this, otherwise they would not have given me away.
"I'll take you to see them tomorrow."
I lost sleep again this night. When I got up in the morning, the second master took me to the first floor, followed the dark corridor, walked to the end, and walked down. A few minutes later, the second master opened a door.
"This is the person who died in the disaster."
I walked in, and there was a half-meter-long coffin, which were all connected with ropes.
"The newly pulled coffin, the newly pulled people are united even if they die."
The second master went to the two coffins next to him and looked at me. I knew that those two coffins should belong to my parents. What I faced was just the coffin. I didn't have tears. After standing for a long time, I left here. For this Xinla City, for my parents' new Lalian coffin, it seems that I can't find any family affection or a feeling for Xinla City.
The second master followed me out and took me to the river, and the river flowed down from the top of the mountain.
"This is the Xinla River. More than 200 years ago, Xinla City was the most prosperous period. At that time, there were a population of 8,000 and 5,000 people fishing for golden sand in the Xinla River. At that time, Xinla City was very rich. In the past 100 years, a total of 10,000 Jinsha was fished. Who knows, a hundred years ago, this paradise hit 1,000 people. They are all gold and iron horses, and I don't know how they broke in. This place can't come in according to the Tao. No one can find it here. Maybe this is the destruction of heaven and earth. A dynasty, a clan, after the heyday, will decline. This is the principle. At that time, the new people had no war, no preparation for war, and no ability to resist at all. That night, they killed blood into a river. They wanted to take away the gold, but they still didn't find it. That night, the Xinla River became a river of blood. From then on, there was no more sand gold, no grain, and that night was left. More than 100 people."
"Who are those people?"
"The woman is really a tribe, which we knew later. After this, we wanted to rebuild our home. Who knows, we have not developed. More than 60 years later, a disaster completely destroyed the Xinla people. You are the only child sent out in this disaster.
"What kind of disaster is that?"
"It was a pest disaster. I don't know what kind of insect it was. It grew in the human body and gnawed away your bones little by little. The disaster lasted for ten years, and only 23 people were left in the end."
I looked at the Xinla River. Now the water is very clear, and I can't see the blood flowing like a river that year.
"Who owns the tomb in the mountain?"
"The ancestor of the new man."
This night, I still can't sleep. A family has experienced so many disasters, but they live tenaciously. This is simply a miracle, but I don't know if the Xinla people can return to their original prosperity.
That night, I also decided to stay for the continuation of the Xinla people.
A week later, I met the girl of the Xinla ethnic group, about the same age as Ji Xiaoqing. What surprised me most was that after she brought Black Bra down, I was stunned. She turned out to be very beautiful, which I absolutely didn't expect.
She told me that her name was Gu Ye.
That day, we stood on Xinla Mountain, and we had nothing extra words to say. I feel a strangeness.
I will flourish with ancient leaves in the future.
However, I have one thing that I haven't figured out why the second master became a gravekeeper, guarding the water mausoleum, which was Nurhachi's woman.
What is the connection between the Xinla people and the Manchu people? I can't figure it out. I'll wait for the day the second master says it. I am with Gu Ye every day to cultivate feelings. I know that maybe I can't fall in love with Gu Ye, because I can't forget Ji Xiaoqing. Three months later, spring came, and the grass grew, but a lot of things happened to me. On my body, I couldn't explain, and I didn't tell me why, and I didn't ask.
The second master and more than 20 new people began to turn over the ground. Sometimes I also participated in it. Gu Ye cooked every day.
Finally, one day, there was something that made me panic. When Gu Chi came in, I was walking around the room.
He sat down and said.
"Some strange things will happen to you. Don't worry. This is the unique ability of new people. He will slowly come out in the future. Of course, after the age of 50, this ability will slowly disappear."
"What is that?"
"There are three abilities that will make you feel uneasy. One of them, you must be careful. It is a flip step, also known as a new pull step. As long as you take this step, you go to another world. The other two abilities are to split water and look at it. You can see what is under the water. This is the new puller. Over the years, you have seen the reason for getting 10,000 tons of sand gold. Just under the big pillar, there is another kind of sand gold that I won't say. Maybe you don't have this kind of power now. In addition, your second master will tell you.
When Gu Chi went out, I felt much more at ease. Gu Ye came in, took my hand and smiled at me. She smiled beautifully, which was as pure as the water in the mountains.
Gu Ye pulled me upstairs. I had never been to the top. She took me into a room full of weapons.
"This was left by those people."
I know who the people she said are. I walked in and picked up a sword, a bronze sword, which was a little heavy.
"You should choose a weapon that belongs to you."
I don't think it's necessary, but I still took the bronze sword away.
That day, I took the bronze sword and ancient leaves to a pool in the mountain.
"I'm taking a shower here. This is only mine. No one comes here."
I took a look at Gu Ye, and she blushed.
I suddenly jumped up. I actually saw a white bone under the pool. I don't know if I can see it. I didn't say that the white bone lay quietly under the pool. I don't know whose white bone it is.
Gu Ye saw my reaction. She didn't say anything. She was very quiet. When her head leaned on my shoulder, I smelled a faint fragrance from her body.
That day, Gu Ye told me that the second master would hold a wedding for us in June.
I think it's a little too fast. I haven't adapted to it. I still think about Ji Xiaoqing. If I marry Gu Ye, I will live here. I really can't accept this closed life.
In the evening, I told the second master what I saw under the pool.
"Don't mention this. Gu Ye can't see it. Girls don't have this ability. Don't tell Gu Ye about some things. You also need to be prepared. We will get married in June. Forget what you need to forget!"
When the second master was about to leave, I asked.
"How did you become a gravekeeper?"
The second master was stunned for a moment and said later.
"Shame."
The second master's face was as cloudy as water, and I didn't ask any more questions.
The night in Xinla City is very quiet. Gu Ye came in quietly and hugged me from behind.
I felt that she was crying, but I didn't move.
"I know, you don't like me."
After Gu Ye said this, I turned around and took her hand.
"I will slowly fall in love with you."
Everything planted underground has grown out. I seem to have a trace of affection for Gu Ye.
When it was almost June, I was uneasy.
The second master is coming.
"Are you ready?"
I nodded.
"I just want to know why you became a gravekeeper."
"In fact, it turns out that the Xinla people are tombkeepers. In order to make a living, this clan has been guarding the mausoleum, holding the annual mausoleum silver. Later, the official government did not have the mausoleum silver, but there is a contract. Xinla people are about credibility. The mausoleum guarding is gone, and only people will guard it."
