Ever since I was a child, there has been no shortage of such things.
No one knows how worried he was when he was young. He asked his mother why he was doing this and whether he could throw it away. His mother said that it was the capital of his life and a weapon to protect himself, so he couldn't throw it away.
He wanted to ask who would protect him, but he was really afraid.
I am scared around my mother, and even more scared when I go to see my grandparents every day.
Not only his grandparents, but also the servants around them, everyone's disgust, hatred, and contemptuous gazes were like a seed buried deep in his heart, growing a huge dark shadow.
He thought he was not loved by others, until that day, he accidentally bumped into Shen Lie who was pushed away by Guo Hanyue.
But the four-year-old boy was pushed by his biological mother on the way back.
"I asked you to make your father happy, why don't you do it?"
"Why are you so unlovable?"
"How well did you memorize the essay I asked you to memorize yesterday?"
"You are so useless! Trash!"
…
The servants and women followed in silence with their heads lowered, and the boy was pushed and scolded all the way back, also in silence.
After that, Shen Xu would often walk along this road, and from time to time she would see children stumbling around being pushed.
"When I think about you being his son, I feel disgusted with you!"
"You looked at that walnut cake a few more times, do you want to eat it?"
"Did your hands shake when you served tea?"
"No one in your Shen family is good!"
"Nanny, today he needs to step on his horse's feet. He is not allowed to stop until three hours have passed!"
…
At that time, when Shen Shuangcheng came to Shi Yingying, he always said that Jijieyuan was not good, that Guo Hanyue was paranoid and jealous, and that the precious son Guo Hanyue gave birth to made him extremely unhappy.
It was only after Shen Xu saw this scene that she realized that compared to the cold eyes she received from the Shen family, the real person whom her father did not love and whose mother did not love him was Shen Lie.
In addition to his father not loving him and his mother not loving him, there is also an aunt who always wants to get rid of him, that is, his biological mother whom he knows well.
In order to save Shen Lie, Shen Shu caught the venomous snake with his own hands. The bite has left his left hand numb to this day. If the person who saved him had not arrived in time, he might have died long ago.
That venomous snake has also passed through the mountains.
He has been bitten by snakes no less than five times since he was a child, some were non-venomous and some were highly venomous, but his mother never stopped.
These brothers, who were born in the Shen family, are truly pitiful people.
There are two intersections in front of the corridor, one on the left and one on the right.
Shen Xu asked Rougu to toss a copper coin, choose the left side of the road, and leave a conspicuous mark on the spot.
Continuing to move forward, Shen Xu was walking and suddenly said, "There is something wrong with your coin tossing action. Your elbow was injured by Zhiyan?"
Rou Gu was slightly surprised and raised her eyes to look at his figure.
"Why are you holding back?" Shen Xu asked again.
Rougu said nothing and looked at the stone wall aside.
"If there is no way back later and I have to continue climbing, what are your plans?" Shen Xu handed over a small bottle and said, "Add some medicine."
"Yes." Rougu took it.
A stone staircase gradually appeared in front of them. As the stone steps went down, the space became larger and larger. The terraces on both sides extended out to a distance that their firelight could not find.
The footsteps became echoing, and when I looked up I couldn't see the top of the mountain. The space here was wider than the piles of bones I had seen earlier.
"Sir, look!" one of his subordinates said, pointing to the sky in the distance.
Everyone looked up and saw a long chain hanging in the sky. Below the chain hung a wooden prison with several bones in it.
"There are some here too." Another subordinate said, pointing to the sky.
"And this way!"
More and more wooden prisons in the sky are being discovered.
There are also mechanisms to contain these wooden prisons.
Two wooden prisons were lowered, and there was a child's body in one of them.
There were many scratches on the wooden board, scratched out by fingernails, and there were many pieces of clothing on the ground.
Shen Xu picked up the pieces of clothes, looked back and forth, his eyes were cold, and handed them to Rou Gu.
Rou Gu took it and said in surprise, "Yu Duan? How could this happen..."
"It seems that this place is much newer than the place we came from." Shen Xu said.
Rougu looked at the corpses and said, "The feathers are rich, they can be considered rich people."
Shen Xu smiled, picked up another rib, and looked at it lightly, "Do you think we will also be caught by the people here, put in a wooden prison and hung up? Although the clothes we are wearing are not of good style, but the material is The quality is not bad either.”
"Young master, what you are saying is that these corpses may have been broken in?"
"Just a guess," Shen Xu said, standing up, "Let's take a closer look here. There are probably many mechanisms. Please be careful."
"yes."
Shen Shu looked at the bones on the ground and wondered what was happening to Shen Lie.
…
…
In the long corridor, girls and boys walked slowly.
"The saint is immortal, the sky is limitless, all things have no cause, and their works will decline with time?" Xia Zhaoyi said.
"Um."
"What about the next sentence?"
"It is said that the body is dead, the star is blocked, the son is guarding Lie Zhang, and he is confused in the south of Taiwei."
"You remember it so clearly." Xia Zhaoyi said, "The next sentence, does it mean that there is a great disaster in ancient times, and if you are trying to survive now, you will enter reincarnation and be reincarnated again and again?"
"Have you read this book?"
Xia Zhaoyi nodded, "I've read it, Ju Zhou Ze, also known as Zhong Miao Lun."
"Evil book?"
"Those who make alchemy can't say whether it is an evil book or not," Xia Zhaoyi said. "Those who believe in it regard it as a classic, but those who don't believe in it naturally despise it."
"how about you?"
"I disdain it." Xia Zhaoyi smiled.
Shen Lie saw her suddenly smile, her smile bright in the firelight, and he couldn't help but smile.
"But the dead bones are blooming, which makes me feel uneasy." Shen Lie said.
"It's medicine, right?"
"medicine?"
"Yes, in the beginning, there was nothing, nothing and no name. When one arises, there is something but no form. In the eyes of many alchemists, all things are one, and anyone can be used as medicine. They also regard people as medicine, and what they say is Dry bones give rise to flowers, and medicine is extracted from human bones. However, in this evil and sycophantic place, I feel that what is refined must be extremely poisonous."
Shen Lie nodded, paused, and said, "Then, is the bad omen you are referring to related to this?"
"Yes..." Xia Zhaoyi's voice became uncertain. She raised her head and looked at the boy and said softly, "Shen Lie, do you believe in ghosts and gods?"
Shen Lie looked at her, the girl's bright snowy eyes seemed to be able to speak.
Shen Lie looked forward. It was the first time in his life that he had lied to someone. He said, "I don't believe it."
"I believe it." Xia Zhaoyi said.
"So I protect you," Shen Lie said seriously, "I don't believe in ghosts and gods, so I am fearless. Will that make you feel at ease?"
Xia Zhaoyi suddenly curved her lips and smiled without hesitation.
"I will protect you too," Xia Zhaoyi said, "I believe in this way, I am in awe, and I act carefully and cautiously. Will it also make you feel at ease? For example..."
She suddenly pulled out her dagger and shot towards the dark place ahead.
There was a crisp sound of metal collision, and a venomous snake that had not yet launched an attack died tragically under the sharp blade.
