Su Wu was lying on the bed, listening to the voices of Zhang's father and Zhang's mother outside, and had mixed feelings for a while.
‘The Zhang family’s missing son for many years’ really brought him a lot of convenience.
Those thorny problems were blocked by Zhang's mother because of this identity, so that Su Wu no longer had to take the initiative to solve those problems.
Parents love their children and have far-reaching plans.
But after all, he was not the real son of Zhang's father and Zhang's mother, so he could not calmly enjoy the love and care they showed him no matter what, and he always felt a little guilty in his heart.
Fortunately, this guilt and suffering will eventually end today.
…
During this day,
There seems to be some kind of tacit understanding between Zhang's father and Zhang's mother and Su Wu. None of the three mentioned what Su Wu said last night. The 'family' stayed at home all day, and Su Wu chatted with them about Taoyuan.
In the world outside the village, they also talked about the ordinary things in Taoyuan Village.
A day seems very long, but it also seems very short.
Regardless of whether the three of them wanted this time to pass faster or slower, today finally passed.
From Zhang's mother's perspective, it seemed like the entire day had passed in just the blink of an eye.
The sky is getting dark and twilight is approaching.
Father lit the oil lamp on the dining table, and Mother Zhang brought a fresh fish cooked with sauce, plus a few leftover dishes from lunch, and the dish was put together. It looked even better than yesterday evening.
That meal was more sumptuous.
"This is a big carp that my mother bought from a fisherman in the afternoon.
The carp in the river next to our Taoyuan Village does not have a trace of earthy smell, and the meat is firm and delicious. It is not easy to buy normally.
My mother also begged the fisherman for a long time before he sold me this fish.
How do you think it tastes?" Mother Zhang picked up a large piece of meat from the belly of the fish and put it into Su Wu's bowl.
Su Wu said: "Thank you, mother."
Put the fish in the bowl into your mouth.
The piece of fish was indeed very delicious. It was not like pig head meat, stewed chicken, or grilled steamed buns. It exuded a yin energy that would make living people avoid it. Instead, there was a vitality flowing in the fish. As soon as the fish was put into Su Wu's mouth
, melts in your mouth.
The delicious body fluids packed with rich vitality spread out in Su Wu's body. Su Wu, who was now relying on herbs and elixirs from the secret world, Lushan and other simulated worlds, could no longer improve himself at all. He felt a slight decrease in physical fitness.
promote.
"How about it?
Aren't the carps in Taoyuan River very delicious?" Zhang's father and Zhang's mother both looked at Su Wu, looking forward to his answer.
Neither of them was willing to take even a bite of fish.
Su Wu nodded seriously: "It is indeed very delicious."
He stretched out his kuaizi and put two pieces of fish belly into the bowls of Zhang's father and Zhang's mother respectively: "You guys should eat some too.
Since the fish caught by Diaosou are not easy to buy on weekdays, you and I must not eat them often, so please eat more, father and mother."
"We will stay in the village. Even if the fish is hard to come by, if you want to eat it, you can always get it with some effort.
If you stay outside the village all year round, you will definitely eat this fish less often than we do.
Eat more, my son, and don't worry about us." Mother Zhang looked at Su Wu's face with a smile, and put large pieces of fish into his bowl.
Father Zhang put a piece of pig head meat into his bowl, and while eating, he said at the dinner table: "It is said that the fish in our Taoyuan River also has a rich history.
It is said that the water from the Tianhe River poured down and formed a river here.
Those fish and shrimp aquariums in the river originally belonged to the Tianhe River, but later flourished in our Taoyuan Village. Although they are not as powerful as they were in the sky, they are still very delicious.
However, because these aquatic species are not ordinary species, their numbers are rare.
Old Mrs. Han only allowed Diaosou to fish by the river alone. The old man would take 70% of the fish caught every day, Old Mrs. Han would take 20%, and the remaining 10% would be sold to ordinary villagers like us.
Diaosou doesn't catch many fish every day, mostly between three and five fish, and occasionally catches some shrimps and crabs.
Three to five fish were only enough for him and Mr. Han's family to divide the fish among themselves, leaving one fish behind to sell to the villagers.
Therefore, the business there is also very good. Every evening when the hook is collected, there is a long queue at the Taoyuan River.
This also improved Diaosou’s temper——
The old man sells fish more and more as he pleases, and pays attention to whether there is fate or not.
When there is a chance, I can sell it for only one copper coin.
When there is no luck, he will not even look at a hundred gold ingots.
——Someone once spent a copper coin to buy a golden carp from him..."
Father Zhang also talked about the strange things in the village.
Regardless of Zhang's father or Zhang's mother, when describing currency such as copper coins, they always use "Zhang" as the unit.
Su Wu paid attention to this detail for a moment and kept it in his heart. Then he started talking to his parents and made fun of the Diaosou. The atmosphere at the dinner table was very harmonious.
There is no end to the banquet in the world.
No matter how happy the time is, it will eventually end.
At the end of the dinner, Zhang's mother pushed the fish plate towards Su Wu and said, "There is only a little fish meat left. My son, you can eat it all. Mom can take the plate and wash it."
Su Wu nodded silently, and saw Zhang's mother pursed her lips, looked at her husband next to her, then looked at Su Wu, and said in a low voice: "The matter you mentioned last night, I will discuss it with your father." pass.
Since we have to leave the village to pick up our relatives, we can do it without further delay——
Let’s set off tonight!”
She made a lot of determination, and her eyes turned red as soon as she said the words.
Father Zhang next to him remained silent.
"Today?" Su Wu sighed inwardly.
Zhang’s mother nodded and said, “Let’s leave tonight.
The longer you stay here, the harder it will be to get out - people in the village come to invite you here and there all day long, and it won't be long before you forget all about your own flesh and blood.
It’s better to set off quickly while you still have some memory and before they get into trouble in the future!”
"good."
Seeing Su Wu nodding, Zhang's mother wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes, stood up, stacked several empty bowls, pointed to most of the fish left on the plate, and said to Su Wu: "Then eat quickly and finish the fish." , let’s set off.”
"It's...Mother." Su Wu buried his head in eating the carp on the plate.
Father Zhang and Mother Zhang quietly cleared away the bowls on the dining table,
When he finished eating the carp, they both cleared the table.
Mother took out a bundle from the bedroom and handed it to Su Wu: "There are a few pieces of your clothes in it. You can take them with you so you can change them when you go out."
She turned to look at Zhang's father and said, "Without further delay, let's set off now!"
"Your father and I will take you to the entrance of the village, and you can walk from there by yourself."
"Hurry up and wait until mother comes back to wash the dishes!"
Zhang's mother became very resolute. She made a decision and pulled Su Wu, followed by Zhang's father, out of her house. She didn't even lock the door, and groped forward in the dark.
Under the dark sky,
Su Wu could only see scattered houses all around, and the directions of southeast, northwest, up and down were all lost here.
If he walked around the village alone, he would not be able to find the exit or entrance of the village.
It means ‘there is no way out’.
However, Zhang's mother pulled him and hurriedly ran in the darkness, and the road where the houses were connected side by side became very clear. Su Wu saw not only scattered houses, but also some peach trees planted on the roadside. , Mulberry trees stand among the village houses, and bamboo groves flutter their leaves under the low slopes.
Running in such a hurry for a moment or two,
Su Wu raised his head and looked forward, seeing a large peach forest with falling pink petals in his field of vision.
Under the cover of the peach grove, a high mountain appeared in outline.
At the bottom of the mountain, there is a dark cave.
I don't know if it can lead to the outside world.
"The exit was full of peach trees, and there were colorful fallen flowers, but there was only one dead peach tree among them, so I buried the sword under that peach tree..." Su Wu recalled the words Zhongzu told him in his mind, looking seriously After identifying it in the peach forest, I quickly found the dead peach tree among the many lush peach trees.
When he entered Taoyuan Village earlier, he also saw a large peach forest.
But in the peach grove there, not a single peach tree died.
Therefore, although the peach grove below and the high mountain behind the forest seem similar to the peach grove and high mountain at the entrance, they are definitely not the same place.
The exit and entrance of Taoyuan Village are not at the same location.
"Brother Zhang, sister-in-law of the Zhang family!
What are you doing here at the entrance of the village in the middle of the night?!" Zhang's mother was still dragging Su Wu along as she hurriedly ran. Suddenly, she heard the noise of others behind her. Her shoulders shook and she turned to look behind her.
Behind Father Zhang, several young men from the Han family had already surrounded him aggressively.
Zhang's father sighed and said to Zhang's mother, Su Wu: "You just go forward and I will talk to them."
With that said, he turned towards the young men and stopped them.
Mother Zhang pursed her lips, turned around, grabbed Su Wu's arm and ran forward.
Passing through vast tracts of peach groves,
Several young men behind him had already pushed Zhang's father away and ran into the peach grove.
At this moment,
Su Wu stopped in front of the dead peach tree.
He quickly dug up the soil under the peach tree and buried the 'Nameless Ligui' who was imprisoned by the three tribulations of the Zhongzu under the dead peach tree.
The dead peach tree sprouts new buds, and the new buds suddenly bloom into a peach tree!
The nameless Ligui has disappeared under the peach tree,
As Su Wu walked it into the dead peach tree, a certain pattern was triggered in Taoyuan Village, and it was therefore unknown where it was moved.
The trees are full of peach blossoms.
Mother Zhang quietly wiped her tears in front of the tree. She was not surprised by her son's unusual behavior. She seemed to have expected it. She just urged Su Wu softly: "My son, let's go quickly. There is still some way to the exit." …”
】
Su Wu stood up and looked at Mother Zhang, whose face was wrinkled and her hair was gray, and she hesitated to speak.
Mother Zhang showed a kind smile. She grabbed Su Wu's arm and said, "Let's go forward!"
The two of them went straight forward.
The troops pursuing him fiercely behind him.
The exit is getting closer.
The mother sent her son to the deep cave tunnel. She wiped her red eyes, pushed her son forward and pushed him into the cave: "Let's go!"
The dark cave swallowed up his son's facial features. When he turned around, his mother could only see a faint outline.
"...I..." Su Wu said nervously, not knowing what to say.
The mother's shoulders trembled slightly. She stood in the light, and every wrinkle on her face was clearly visible.
That expression of love and regret appeared on her face.
She looked at the outline of her 'son' in the darkness, as if she could see the facial features that she had seen countless days and nights in her dreams. She said softly: "Mother has seen it a long time ago, mother has seen it a long time ago."
…
My child, my Zhang Wazi, can’t come back—never come back again…
But you really look like my Zhang Wazi!
My little Zhang would be as big as you if he hadn't fallen into the water...
My Zhang Wazi, I will never see him again. I cried for several years and almost went blind from crying...
My child, you also have your own parents, right?
If you stay here and they can't see you, they will be very sad, right?
Don’t make your parents sad anymore, don’t make the world sad anymore, let’s have another old woman who’s blinded by crying...
Child, go quickly, go quickly..."
Several young men had already rushed behind Mother Zhang, but they could only crowd around Mother Zhang and stare at Su Wu in the cave.
Su Wu's Adam's apple rolled.
A sore feeling was brewing in my chest.
He wanted to say something, but nothing came out.
Mother Zhang was seen staring at him in the darkness, and suddenly she spoke softly: "My son...
You will come back to see me.
Can I ask my mother to look at you more?"
"Mother——"
"mom!"
"mom!"
In the darkness, several sad sobs sounded.
Peace returns to Peach Blossom Spring.
Outside the Peach Blossom Spring, a young man was lying on a paper boat, looking up at the silent sky, with tears covering his face.
On both sides of the river, the tombstones turned into peach trees with countless pink petals floating in the air.
The young man stood up from the paper boat and rummaged through his body, but could not find the mobile phone he carried with him. He only took off the baggage behind him. He spread the baggage, revealing a pile of paper clothes neatly folded inside.
;
A thick stack of paper coins;
A bunch of paper ingots.
He picked up a pair of paper shoes next to the paper clothes.
There were densely packed stitches on the bottom and top of the paper shoe sole.
Su Wu's tears fell silently on the paper shoes. At this moment, his heart seemed to have turned into an empty and cold square, filled with the sound of wind.
Those pairs of shoes and pieces of clothing were prepared by Zhang's mother for her son Zhang.
They have people they care about forever,
Su Wu also has a father and mother whom Su Wu will always remember.
The two only intersected briefly, and neither could complete the missing piece in the other's heart.
The paper boat sailing across the river quietly passed through the mist.
The mist dispersed, and the small river turned into a large, quiet lake. There seemed to be a figure on the edge of the lake looking towards the paper boat.
Beside the pier where the figures stood, someone lit a few lights.
Su Wu sat cross-legged on the paper boat, the tears on her face had disappeared silently.
The evening breeze blows gently.
The evening breeze blows gently.
