Wandering

Chapter 134 The nameless world began, and the empty valley cried out

Walking into the stadium, Mr. Gao was very eye-catching in his white exercise uniform.Except for wind and rain, he will practice Tai Chi here every day at this time.With my cultivation today, even if I don't use the Qingming Mirror, I can still see a faint layer of golden light covering his body.He is indeed a very masculine person!I stood quietly and waited, waiting for them to finish their punching and closing posture.

I haven't been here for a long time, but the group of old men and women still remember me.After punching, they all greeted me and asked me why I didn't come to practice boxing?I replied one by one with a smile that I was already in the third year of high school, and I was nervous about studying.Mr. Gao also came over with a smile and asked me: "Little Shitou, you also need a good body to study! When I was as old as you, I had such a strong body!... How do you feel recently? I think you look better than when I first met you." It was so much better when I was here... How come you are free today and come to see us old people again?"

"Old man, I came here specially to find you today. I have one thing to do."

Mr. Gao looked at me: "What's the matter with me, old man? You won't let me sell dates for you again?"

"Golden jujubes are only harvested in autumn. The old man likes to eat them. I will bring you more when the season is in season. I want to ask you something today. I heard that you picked up an abandoned baby in Feijin Peak 19 years ago. Is there such a thing?" What's going on?"

The old man was stunned, and looked at me puzzled: "It happened, how did you know, what happened to that child?... No, let me think about it, you told me once that you are from Shizhu Village, right? ?”

"What does this have to do with Shizhu Village?"

Mr. Gao looked at me with a surprised and happy expression, which made me feel at a loss.He suddenly said: "Are you nineteen years old this year? How is old man Jin in your village?"

"I'm nineteen, and I'll be twenty next month. Grandpa Jin is in good health, do you know him? He planted the jujubes you sold for me last time." I wanted to ask Mr. Gao if he picked up an abandoned baby. Unexpectedly, the old man answered the wrong question and mentioned Shizhu Village and Grandpa Jin.

Old Man Gao: "What a coincidence, I haven't seen you for 19 years. The five-animal show I taught you was taught by Old Man Jin before liberation. I didn't expect you to grow up so big. It was your Grandpa Jin who asked you to come to me Right? The world is so small, it's you, a little stone."

Gao Lao's words were like a ray of light flashing in the dark, and I understood the meaning of the words.He actually thought that I was the abandoned baby back then, and Grandpa Jin also knew about the fact that he picked up the abandoned baby.Judging from his tone, the child should be in Shizhu Village, and he is nineteen years old this year.

I frowned and asked him, "Old man, please speak slowly, one thing at a time. What do you mean, do you think I'm that abandoned baby back then?"

What I said originally meant to deny it. Of course I am not an abandoned baby. My parents live well in Shizhu Village.But Mr. Gao was a little excited, he didn't hear it, but thought I admitted it.Just hearing his tone became excited: "Of course I can't recognize you when I see you, but I have other ways to recognize you. Take your clothes off, is there a birthmark on your chest?"

I don't have a birthmark on my chest, he must have made a mistake.I opened my clothes subconsciously, and saw that Elder Gao took a look, opened his arms and hugged me, and patted my back with his powerful hands: "It really is you, my child, you have grown up! You really have a heart, Don’t forget to come to me, the old man who picked you up. The red birthmark on your chest looked like a plum blossom when you were young..."

There is a blood red plum blossom imprint on my chest.But that's not a birthmark, it's a scar from the thorn of the Red Snake Whip!Originally, Junzi Feng was the one who was injured, but he didn't know how to use some weird method to borrow me from the golden dragon to lock the jade pillar, and suddenly there was a scar like this on my chest.And the child picked up by Mr. Gao actually had the exact same birthmark on his chest, what a coincidence!

Mr. Gao's current mood is both excited and happy, and I really can't explain it clearly to him in a few words.Forget it, I won't explain it for the time being, it's not too late to understand the matter first.I also patted the old man on the back: "Mr. Gao, don't be so happy, don't forget that I came to ask you something today. How did you pick that abandoned baby? Can you tell me the process? "

I didn't ask him how he picked me, but how he picked the abandoned baby.It's a pity that Elder Gao didn't understand the meaning of the words, but this sentence also reminded him.He let go of me and took my hand: "You finally came to ask me these things today. Come on, find a place to sit down and talk slowly." We sat down on the steps by the playground and listened to Mr. Gao talk about the past thing -

Almost 20 years ago, in [-].At that time, it was just in time to criticize Lin Biao, Confucianism, and the Four Olds, and bulls, ghosts, and snakes were fighting in the streets. It was the most chaotic era in the ten years of turmoil.At that time, Gao Feijin, the leader of the Wucheng area, had been "seized power" by the Revolutionary Committee and stood aside.Facing the messy situation, Gao Fei was so depressed that he often hid in the countryside and became a carefree person who didn't ask anything.One day in early October of this year, he borrowed a semi-automatic rifle from the Ministry of Armed Forces, and went hunting in the deserted Feijin Peak to relieve his boredom.

As for the part where he wounded Xiangfei Musk and picked up the baby.Ziying has already told me that the key lies in going down the mountain.He walked down Feijin Peak with the baby in his arms, but met an acquaintance at the foot of the mountain.This man's surname is Jin, and he is an old Chinese doctor in Shizhu Village, Xiashizhu Village, Wucheng Township.When fighting guerrillas before liberation, Gao Fei was injured once and hid in a fellow villager's home in Zhaoting Mountain to recover from his injuries. It was Grandpa Jin who came to treat his injuries.Later, Grandpa Jin also taught him a set of Wu Qin Xi that can strengthen his body.

Grandpa Jin came to Feijin Peak to gather medicine today, but saw Gao Feijin carrying a baby down the mountain, so of course he wanted to ask him what happened.After hearing that this was an abandoned baby picked up in the mountains, Grandpa Jin asked him: "How do you want to arrange for this child? The current situation in the city is so chaotic, even you yourself can't tell whether you will be fighting tomorrow. How will the child be taken care of when he returns home?"

Gao Fei felt the same when he heard it, so he asked Grandpa Jin what to do.Grandpa Jin said: "Our countryside is relatively peaceful. How about this, you give this child to me. There is a couple in our Shizhu village who have not had children for three years after marriage. They always want one, even if it is adoption. He took him back to the village and handed him over to the couple to raise him. Don't worry, that family is quite nice."

Hearing this, it was like a heavy hammer struck a gong in my ear, which made my brain buzzing.I thought Mr. Gao had misunderstood just now, but the person he is talking about now is clearly me.Early October [-]?The birthday on my account book is October [-], [-]!In the past six months, our village has no children of the same age.Three years of marriage and no children?My parents got married in [-]!It seems that no other family in our village has this situation.

I don't remember exactly what Elder Gao said, and how I told him not to leave the stadium.I just remember that I didn't go to school, but walked on the road in a daze like sleepwalking.Unknowingly, when I came back to my senses, I found that I was standing in the Jingwu Cave with the Qingming Mirror in my hand, and my body was covered with water.

I don't know how I got here, just standing there stupidly.At this time, a person came out of Zhu Guolin behind the bamboo house, it was Liu Yiyi who came to draw spring water in the morning.Yiyi was surprised when she saw me: "Brother, why are you here? Are you here to fetch water for me?"

I replied almost reflexively, "I don't know, I don't know I'm here."

Yiyi was surprised and worried by my abnormal appearance.She put down the kettle and came over to hold my hand: "Brother, do you look so strange?...Ah! Why are you in such a mess?"

Liu Yiyi understands his heart and is proficient in the art of empathy. She immediately felt the empty and chaotic emotions in my head.She helped me into a bamboo house and asked me to sit down.Yiyi half-kneeled in front of me, put her hands on my knees, looked up into my eyes and asked, "Brother, what's wrong with you? Did something happen? Tell Yiyi, okay?... I vaguely seem to hear you in my heart Asking 'who am I', what the hell is going on?"

Yiyi's words finally woke me up from the confusion.I calmed down, reached out and stroked her hair and said, "Yiyi, brother is fine. I just heard a story told, and I feel a little confused. ... I'll be fine after a while, leave me alone, go back to Green Let's go to the Xueming Room... Don't worry, I really have nothing to do."

Yiyi glanced at me, nodded, and left with a puzzled expression.After Yiyi left, I sat there alone and my heart went up and down.After living for almost 20 years, I suddenly wondered whether my father was my real mother or my real mother. I don't know where I came from?It's a very indescribably complex emotion.Maybe Mr. Gao made a mistake, it's just a coincidence, the birthmark is the proof!But why did I have such a scar on my chest?My parents must know about this, but how can I ask them such a question?Grandpa Jin must know, I must find an opportunity to ask Grandpa Jin to find out the matter!
Just when I was thinking wildly, a burst of warm fragrance came, and Ziying was standing in front of me at some point.When I looked up and saw her, I heard a concerned voice saying: "Xiao Ye, you have something to do! Liu Yiyi came to me on purpose just now, saying that you were in a trance. She didn't know what to do, so let me come and see you Are you ill? Tell me, did you go to find that old man Gao?...What happened?"

Ziying knew that I knew Gao Feijin, so she immediately guessed that I was looking for him in the morning.Liu Yiyi doesn't understand many mundane things, some things I can't tell her, but Ziying is different.If I want to find someone to talk to, she is the best object.

"Ziying, come and sit down. Let me tell you something... the abandoned baby in the mountains you mentioned yesterday is probably me!"

Ziying was taken aback: "Xiao Ye, what are you talking about? I have met your parents."

"I just said it's very possible, I didn't say I must be. What happened this morning, listen to me slowly..."

Ziying sat down next to me, and I relayed to her everything Mr. Gao told me today, and also explained my doubts in detail.Ziying has been gently stroking the back of my hand, listening to me quietly without making a sound.It wasn't until after I finished speaking that she asked a question that I hadn't thought of just now: "Ishino, if you are really that child, what are you going to do? For example, what are you going to do to your current parents?"

Ziying asked a wonderful question, she didn't ask who I am, but asked - how should I deal with this matter now?At this time, my thoughts were completely clear. Looking at the mottled bamboo forest outside the window, I said: "My parents have always treated me like their own sons, even better than other people's own sons. Since I was a child, I have never done anything except take good care of me. Even if there is only one bite of delicious food in the family, it is always given to me first, and then it is my sister's turn. With parents like this, what else can I say? It doesn't matter whether it is biological or not!"

Ziying: "I feel that your parents are not ordinary spoiled to you, nor are you a spoiled child. They seem to be a little too polite to you!"

"Really? I didn't feel it. But when I was a child, someone in the village said that I was a wild child picked in the cracks of the rocks. Forget it, I won't say these words. I have already decided, I will not ask my parents, I will not let them know that I am doubting my own life experience. Even if I am the abandoned baby, let them always treat me as their own son, and I always treat them as my own parents. It is the best choice not to reveal it."

Ziying: "It's rare that you have such a good temperament. You really should treat them like this. So, how do you track down this matter, do you still want to track down this matter?"

"Yes, of course! I also want to know if I am the abandoned baby? If so, why was I abandoned in the mountains when I was born?"

Ziying: "I'm afraid you don't know very well, but I have experienced that era. At that time, the world was in turmoil and everyone was in danger, and many kind people were forced to have nowhere to go. Think about what happened to Liu Yiyi's family? Maybe that The biological parents of the abandoned baby are also desperate. There is nothing they can do about it. But parents can’t be too cruel to their children. Even if they abandon them, they have to abandon them in a crowded place. There must be some other reason for abandoning them. , I really need to figure it out...how are you going to investigate?"

"It's easy to find out if I'm that abandoned baby. You just need to ask Grandpa Jin in private. He carried the baby back to Shizhu Village, and all signs point to it being me. The only thing that's a little different is the birthmark."
