Beauty Man: All Heavens and Immortals

Chapter 330
Journey to the West Liyinhui 2126, the 56th year of Emperor Yao.

Xiao Zhonghua is 6 years old.

His mother died of illness.

half year later.

The widower Gusou married a widow in the southwest corner of the Yu clan, and a year later, he gave birth to a son, named Xiang.

"Chonghua, hurry up and cook, your mother and your brother have been hungry for a long time."

"Father, I will put down this bundle of firewood and go."

"Hurry up, didn't you hear that your brother Xiang was crying from hunger?"

"Yes, father."

At this time, Chonghua was 8 years old, taller than other people of the same age. From a distance, he vaguely looked like a young man. Before he could let go, he was reprimanded by the blind old man.

Chonghua looked at his blind father sadly, remembering that since his stepmother came in, the blind old man treated him worse than before, and when his half brother Xiang was born, his treatment was even worse, not only at a young age They have to do all kinds of work, and if something is wrong, they will be reprimanded and even punished and beaten.

What Gusou couldn't see was that the stepmother was sitting by the window with her younger brother Xiang in her arms, watching the scene with a smile, and raising an eyebrow at Chonghua when he saw Chonghua's view.

Chonghua lowered his head, wiped his sweat, walked into the kitchen, and started to work on lighting the fire and cooking.

"Husband, come and take a look, it seems to be crying again."

"Oh, come, come, what's the matter?"

"Don't look at what time it is. It doesn't matter if we are hungry, but the elephant is only so big, how can it stand it?"

"I have asked Chonghua to burn it, and it will be ready soon."

"Oh, it's not me complaining. I didn't marry here to enjoy the blessings. I will never be lazy when I should be busy, but now I just gave birth to your husband, and serving this little ancestor is enough for me. You can't help me." What's the matter, I can only rely on Xiang's brother to spend more time, my husband, don't you think so?"

"Yes, yes, what Ma'am said is very true."

Gusou said with some shame.

As an old blind man, it is already a great blessing to be able to remarry when he is old. In addition, his wife gave birth to a fat boy as soon as he came in. He dared to speak loudly, so naturally she would do whatever she wanted.

"Husband, don't blame me for talking too much. These are household chores. Anyone can do them. Chonghua is eight years old, and he looks like a young man. I can't do these things well? I'm afraid it's because I don't care, or I don't like it. Where are we girls?"

"He dares!"

Gusou was furious when he heard the words, felt his walking stick and hit it hard, and shouted: "Like his brother, you are his mother, if he dares to be disrespectful, I can't spare him!"

"Husband, is this possible?"

The stepmother pretended to persuade: "I have heard that Chonghua is a person born with a vision. He may be rich and prosperous in the future. We can only make offerings to him, otherwise we will wait for him to develop one day. I'm afraid that not only will they not enjoy the blessings, but they will also suffer."

"Humph!"

Hearing this, Gusou subconsciously put down his cane, and snorted coldly: "No matter how powerful he is, I am also his father. From Xuanyuan Huangdi to Emperor Yao, there have been four generations of emperors, and etiquette and ethics have been established. How dare he be unfilial?" , I let him go, and the world will not let him go."

The stepmother curled her lips secretly, seeing that Gusou still had some father-son affection for Chonghua, or that Gusou still had some expectations for the glory and wealth that Chonghua might bring him in the future, so she knew it was not good to go too far, so she chose wisely to slow down. For a while, he just kept beating with words, making Gusou keep venting his anger on Chonghua, and weakening the only sliver of father-son affection.

As a stepmother and with her own son, she was upset about how much she valued Zhonghua. She wanted to get rid of this thorn in her side and the thorn in her flesh. Although the old man was old and blind, he still had some family property. Thinking that Chonghua would be divided in the future She is full of resentment for the family property that belongs to her precious son Xiang.

"Don't worry, don't worry, there will be more than ten years until the elephant grows up. I don't believe that I can't get rid of you by my means."

While the stepmother was secretly calculating, Chonghua finally came in with the food.

"Father, mother, it's time to eat."

Days passed, ten years later.

"Chonghua, go back, it's getting dark, farm work can't be done in a day or two, let alone you alone do so many fields."

"Yes, if you ask me, the blind old man is too much. He has a young son and doesn't care about the life of the eldest son. For so many years, Chonghua has been raising the family by himself. They not only don't help, they beat and scold at every turn. "

"Thinking about it, I find it strange that both are the sons of Gusou. Chonghua is so industrious and filial, but like that child is so rebellious. But Gusou regards the image as a treasure and Chonghua as a grass. Is it true? Is it because of blindness?"

"Hey! I still can't figure it out! Pillow talk! Gusou can marry again at such an old age. He must love Chonghua's stepmother and obey her words. It's normal for this stepmother to be unkind to her stepson. It's just that this stepmother is too much."

"What I'm talking about is that Chonghua is such a pitiful child. What impressed me the most is the picture of him carrying a thick bundle of firewood at such a young age, almost completely burying his body."

"This blind old man is really short-sighted. Could it be that he has forgotten the vision of Chonghua when he was born? If Chonghua arouses his supernatural powers in the future and goes to the imperial capital Pingyang to become a high-ranking official, and even succeed him as the emperor, let's see if he still has the face Go and enjoy wealth and honor."

"What's so shameless about it? With Chonghua's gentle and filial personality, Gusou and his stepmother treated him so well, and even his younger brother Xiang bullied him in every possible way. Have you ever seen him blush half a time?

Besides, did you really take the joke back then seriously?The bloodlines are diluted from generation to generation. In Chonghua's generation, they are already the eighth grandson of Xuanyuan Huangdi. How can it be possible to inspire any magical powers of bloodlines? It was just a joke when I talked about it at the beginning. "

Everyone lamented Chonghua's experience, but unknowingly spread the reputation of Chonghua's pure filial piety.

Among the four mountains, the leader of Dongyue is the leader of the tribal alliance of the Yu family in Yaoxu. Hearing about Chonghua's filial piety, he sent people to reward him with many treasures.

"This is mine, and this is mine."

When the elephant saw these treasures, he jumped on them and yelled loudly.

"This is what the adults gave to little brother Chonghua."

Seeing this, the Xuanzhi officer frowned, felt sorry for Chonghua, and ordered with a cold face: "Come here, send the things to Brother Chonghua's room. Without the permission of Brother Chonghua, no one is allowed to embezzle it without authorization."

"Yes."

Don't look rebellious, but it's for Chonghua, for Gusou and his mother, when he meets a big man like the official, he is very knowledgeable and honest, he doesn't dare to fart when the official speaks one.

"Little brother Chonghua, my lord admires you very much, maybe one day I will personally recruit you to Dongyue, you have to take good care of yourself."

"My lord is overrated, thank you, my lord."

After the decree officer left.

The stepmother looked at Chonghua's room full of goods with red eyes, and wanted to occupy it directly, but she was worried about attracting the attention of the big shots, so she had already made up her mind.

That night.

The stepmother pulled the elephant and shook the blind old man, muttering to himself all night.

"Chonghua, go and repair the dilapidated warehouse."

Gusou ordered.

"Yes, father."

Chonghua agreed with a respectful face.

"Father, mother, he is going up."

Seeing Chonghua go up to the roof and repair it there, he ran into the room excitedly and reminded the blind old man and his stepmother.

"Husband, let's go."

Seeing that the blind old man hesitated, the stepmother could not help but wink at the elephant, and cried, "My poor elephant, I blame my mother for being useless. I can't save you a family business. Seeing that you are growing up, you will be better off in the future." How about marrying a wife and starting a family?"

"Mother."

How clever the elephant is, these methods have been used countless times over the years, and the blind old man will give in if he is determined. In fact, the last ten years of pillow troubles have already exhausted the last trace of the blind man's father-son relationship, otherwise the blind old man And he wouldn't agree to last night's poisonous scheme with his mother.

It's just that when things come to an end, I can't bear it after all. Now being provoked by his wife and son, Gusou also calmed down, stomped his walking stick, gritted his teeth and said, "Elephant, help me, let's go over."

"Yes, father."

Xiang was overjoyed, ran to Gusou's side, supported Gusou attentively, and led him secretly to the bottom of the barn.

"fire!"

Gusou ordered.

"Father, here it is."

Xiang pulled out a torch from the kitchen stove, handed it to Gusou, and described the direction to Gusou in a low voice. Gusou took the torch and lit the barn without hesitation.

"Haha, now all the goods are mine."

Looking at the raging fire, Xiang laughed loudly.

"is ours."

Gusou was dissatisfied.

"Humph!"

Xiang, who thought he had accomplished everything, returned to his unruly temperament, snorted lightly, ignored Gusou, turned around and ran to Chonghua's room, wanting to take stock of what he had gained.

"you you!"

Before Xiang went to Chonghua's room, he saw Chonghua running towards the burning warehouse with water in his hand. It turned out that Chonghua used two bamboo hats as wings to jump off the building and survived.

If you fail to make a plan, you have another plan.

Three days later.

"Chonghua, it's very inconvenient to use water at home. Now that you have the conditions, you can dig a well. With a well, you won't have the problem of having no water for firefighting like a few days ago."

Gusou ordered with a blank face.

Chonghua was silent for a moment, then nodded and said, "Yes, father."

A month later.

The well has been dug very deep.

Chonghua was digging underground, and Gusou, accompanied by Xiang and his stepmother, came to the mouth of the well.

"Let's do it, father, this time it will definitely succeed."

"it is good."

Gusou and Xiang worked together, with the help of their stepmother, and the three of them filled the well with the soil dug out from the side of the well, intending to bury the Chonghua in the well alive.

"Eh……"

Looking at the falling soil, Chonghua sighed, put away his tools, walked out through the passage dug long ago in a leisurely way, and hid for a while, waiting for Gusou and Xiang to fill up the space. When Shui Jing was about to divide the goods, he walked out as if he didn't know anything, and the three of them were stunned.

"This damn thing, why can't he die? Is it really blessed by the gods?"

"Hmph! I don't believe that."

Thinking that his face had been torn apart, the blind old man was ashamed and angry, and his murderous intent was greater than that of the elephant and his stepmother. He gritted his teeth and said: "I will let him go into the mountain forest tomorrow to take the heart and liver of Xionghu for me to cure. That mountain forest is a forbidden place." , the monster clan is rampant, and none of the people who went in has ever come out alive, so I don't believe that he can't die like this."

"My husband is wise."

"Father is wise."

Xiang and the stepmother's eyes lit up, they looked at each other, and they all flattered the blind old man. They thought that even if Chonghua was protected by the gods, even the gods would fall when they came to the territory of the demon clan, let alone Chonghua. As a mere civilian, he must die this time.

The next day.

Gusou really said this to Chonghua.

Chonghua remained silent for a longer time, and the scene fell silent for a while.

"Cough cough."

The stepmother coughed softly: "Chonghua, your father's illness needs Xiong Hu's heart and liver to cure it. As a son, you must do your best. If the elephant is not too young, I would like to let the elephant go."

"Mother, father, let me go with my elder brother. Xiang is willing to give everything for my father's well-being."

Xiang pretended to run and said: "If eldest brother dare not go, Xiang can go alone."

"What nonsense!"

Gusou reprimanded cooperatively: "How old are you, how can you go, if your elder brother doesn't want to go, then forget it, I won't live long anyway."

"Husband."

"Father."

The stepmother and the elephant 'sorrow in unison'.

"Father, I'll go."

Chonghua finally spoke, his voice trembling slightly: "I'll go right away!"

Then, he walked out of the room and walked towards the distant mountains. Along the way, he met villagers who asked him. When Chonghua told the story, all the villagers said angrily: "Chonghua, you can't go. This is to send you to die. Then No one has come out of this mountain forest alive, even the military generals stationed at Yaoxu dare not go deep, can't you see that your father, stepmother, and younger brother want you to die?"

The Yu clan is a small tribe, and everyone knows that Gusou, his stepmother and Xiang, tried to kill Chonghua twice, but because the person involved didn’t say anything, they couldn’t say much. After all, Gusou is Chonghua’s father, but now Seeing Chonghua go to die with their own eyes, how could they not dissuade them.

"I know."

Chonghua said with a smile: "Father has an order, how can Chonghua not obey, folks, take care, if Chonghua can't come back, please help my father, stepmother and younger brother Xiang, Chonghua bid farewell .”

After these words were spoken, everyone was silent. Seeing Chonghua's resolutely leaving figure, some people sighed with tears: "There is nothing wrong with being filial in the world."

"Yes!"

Everyone agrees.

Deep in the mountains and forests.

Chonghua held a hatchet in his hand, and walked cautiously. Not long after he walked in, he was surrounded by various monsters who came smelling human smells. They licked their tongues one by one, and looked at Chonghua drooling with bared teeth. Obviously regard Chonghua as a delicacy.

A giant wolf rushed forward first, and threw Chonghua to the ground heavily. The sharp claws on Chonghua's body pierced Chonghua's skin, and streams of blood flowed out.

But after the blood flowed out, there were no monsters scrambling for food. When Chonghua stood up in a daze, what he saw was an astonishing scene.

I saw wolves, tigers, bears, pi and other beasts lying there, and the birds folded their wings and landed. Like the beasts, they also knelt down and prostrated themselves in front of him. The monster-like beasts, birds and monsters bowed their heads to him with respectful eyes.

"Mountains of beasts and birds bow their heads..."

Chonghua murmured to himself, and as soon as the words fell, a mysterious feeling hit his heart, breaking through some kind of shackles in an instant, and countless memories emerged, which shocked Chonghua, and his momentum continued to increase, scaring the beasts and birds all over the mountain to kowtow After a while, when the momentum stabilized, the meekness in Chonghua's eyes disappeared, replaced by firmness and indifference.

"So that's how it is..."
