There are always monsters coming to eat

? ”

"It has something to do with the white deer. The deer will be pale for a thousand years, and it will fade away after another 500 years, and then its fur will become white." Su Mi took the hand of Shiyu, who was looking eastward and westward, and led him along the mountain road. Going forward, "The deer is originally an auspicious thing, and the white deer is the most auspicious."

"Although it is not a god, it can still control the water and soil. The scenery here is probably made according to its preferences."

"But even though it's an auspicious thing," Su Mi couldn't help laughing lowly when he remembered some past events, "it has a bad temper. It is said that a fairy saw him and liked him very much. The kick was so bad that I didn't go out for several months."

"Have you ever seen a white deer?"

"When I came here to look for things for alchemy, I saw it once or twice from a distance. When the white deer saw me, he turned his head and left, and he didn't hide his disgust."

"dislike?"

"Tsk," Su Mi turned his head slightly, and changed the topic, "The deer's tail hair can't be plucked directly, it's troublesome."

Although Su Mi said that the white deer had a bad temper, Shi Yu was very curious about what the white deer looked like.

The two of them walked up the mountain road with their fingers interlocked, but their palms met. In the past, Shi Yu didn't understand the special meaning of those couples doing such actions, but now he gradually understands.

Some loves and feelings are always satisfied in possession and belonging. They are about intimacy, but also about exclusivity. Some things are too shallow in words and too implicit in words, so we must find a way to express them.

There was a gust of wind in the mountains, and the humidity brought a little warmth, and when it came to the face, it brought the smell of lush leaves.Shi Yu felt a little hot in his palms, and even the pores on his body opened a little.

He looked sideways at Su Mi whose neckline was open, lowered his head and rolled up his cuffs a little.

"Is it hot?" Su Mi rolled up Shiyu's other cuff.

It’s really not hot in this mountain, but I always feel——

"It is summer."

Shi Yu looked at Su Mi, and there was a gust of wind in his eyes. Everyone has different opinions about the summer solstice, but you will always wait until the day of the summer solstice in your heart.Come into your life without haste, with some heat and anticipation.

Su Mi narrowed his eyes, picked a leaf and put it under his nose to smell it, then folded the leaf and put it into the smoke pot:

"It's indeed summer."

He took a deep drag on the cigarette, bent down, lightly touched Shi Yu's lips, and then exhaled the smoke.

Standing up, stretching out his hand to touch Shi Yu's limp hair, holding his hand again, dragging Shi Yu swaying forward, saying:

"The first puff of a cigarette in summer is the most comfortable."

Shi Yu hooked Su Mi's hand, twirling his lips faintly with a bit of cool tobacco fragrance, he took two quick steps to stand side by side with Su Mi.

It's really summer.

-

The two of them walked up and down the mountain for nearly two hours, and they came to a lake, which was already full of lotus flowers even though it was early summer.

The lake water was clear, and Shiyu was a little tired from walking, so he knelt down and stretched his hand in to stir it gently, bringing up small splashes, and the slight "plop" sound was more obvious in the silent night.

Suddenly, the surface of the water brightened, and when Shiyu looked up, he saw a pure white deer coming from the other side of the lake:

"What are you doing here?"

The deer in front of him was really black except for the hooves and eyes, which were black and brown, and there was no variegation anywhere on its body. It was as white as winter snow, and even the pair of antlers were shining with silver.

Bailu's voice was cold, his eyes looked at Shiyu very vigilantly, and he exuded an aura of repelling others.

Shi Yu stood up, didn't speak, and looked at the white deer. For some reason, although the white deer looked cold, Shi Yu didn't think there was anything scary about the white deer...

The white deer stepped on the water and took another step forward. Originally, it sensed that someone didn't say hello, and it was a bit unpleasant to come to his mountain late at night, but when he approached Shiyu, he unexpectedly felt a comfortable sense of intimacy.

Just when Bailu hesitated, Su Mi walked to Shiyu and looked at Bailu:

"haven't seen you for a long time."

Bailu seemed to think about it for a while, then took a step back, obviously dissatisfied and said:

"why you?"

"I want to ask you for something." Su Mi didn't seem to care about Bailu's dissatisfaction.

"You won't dig something again and you won't be able to get rid of it. Come to my lake and wash your hands." Bai Lu looked at Su Mi's hand, "My lake is not your sink."

"Tsk," Su Mi lowered her head and lit a cigarette, "Why do you still remember?"

"All the flowers in my pool fell after that," Bai Lu frowned, "I don't know what kind of dirt you got on your hands."

"I just touched a few kinds of medicinal herbs for making alchemy." Su Mi seemed a little embarrassed and took a puff of cigarette with her head turned away.

Seeing Su Mi's slightly embarrassed look, Shi Yu suddenly understood why Bailu despised him.Thinking about the scene where Su Mi washed his hands and the flowers in the pool all wilted, he thought it was a bit funny. I'm afraid Su Mi also had a surprised expression at that time.

"So what's the matter with you?" Bailu didn't want to get entangled with Su Mi anymore, he had always been on his own side, and didn't have much interaction with other gods.

"I want to borrow your tail hair..."

Before Su Mi's words fell, Bai Lu didn't even say anything, just snorted coldly, turned around and walked away by stepping on the water.

When he turned to leave, his hind hoof made a big splash, which directly splashed on Su Mi's body.

Seeing that Su Mi's body was wet and the fire in the smoke pot was extinguished, Shi Yu couldn't help but chuckled.

"Tsk," Su Mi took off his wet robe, poured out all the wet tobacco leaves, and filled some in again, "I just said he has a bad temper."

Shi Yu stood on tiptoe, wiped the water from Su Mi's ears with his cuff, pursed his lips, trying not to make his smile too obvious.

Su Mi is usually lazy but seems to have everything in his heart, unhurried.It's kind of funny to see him in distress once in a while.

Su Mi looked at Shi Yu's upturned mouth, and didn't care about the fact that her clothes were getting wet. She took Shi Yu's wrist with one hand and pulled it towards her:

"Seeing your husband being bullied is still so happy, huh?"

Shi Yu paused for a moment, and wanted to pull back his wrist, but Su Mi's grip made him unable to move.Especially Su Mi's eyes narrowed slightly to stare at him, Shi Yu also felt a little embarrassed for a while.

Finally seeing that Su Mi refused to let go, he simply raised his head to look at Su Mi and said:

"Obviously you covered the red hijab and married me."

Seeing Shi Yu's bold look, Su Mi also laughed, and simply took Shi Yu's posture and pulled Shi Yu to his chest. The two of them pressed close together, lowered their heads and whispered in Shi Yu's ear :

"Then husband, don't you want to express it when you see me being bullied?"

At the end, he licked Shiyu's small pinnae.

Shi Yu shook his body, seeing Su Mi's cheeky look, he simply reached out and hugged him, throwing all his weight on Su Mi, and the two of them fell on the lawn.

Shi Yu hugged Su Mi's head, put his chin on the top of Su Mi's head, and stretched out his hand to scratch Su Mi's hair:

"Then can I hold you to sleep?"

Su Mi's head was resting on Shi Yu's neck.Shi Yu doesn't have any special scent, but just like the convenience store, it smells of old wood that has been sun-baked, which is indescribably good.

Thinking about it, I spent most of the night, and the temperature in the mountain was just right, so Su Mi exposed her ears, let Shiyu knead, stretched out her hand to dry the wet robe with spells, and put it on Shiyu's body .

Wrapping Shiyu's waist with one hand, he closed his eyes:

"Go to sleep."

"En." Shi Yu pressed his forehead against Su Mi's hair, still pinching the ear, and yawned.

The long-lost hug and sleep, very practical.

-

When Shi Yu woke up the next day, it was already broad daylight, and his whole body was wrapped in Su Mi's arms, even Su Mi's tail was wrapped around his ankles.

"Are you awake?" Su Mi yawned and sat up.

"Ah."

"There is a kind of fruit on this mountain that is not available anywhere else." Su Mi stood up and rubbed his numb shoulders, "It's just a little down from here."

"Tail hair..." Shi Yu thought that Bailu left yesterday without saying anything, and he was unwilling to do so.

"Anyway, we will stay for another two days," Su Mi pulled Shi Yu up, "There is always a way."

Shi Yu nodded, and followed Su Mi down a path.Last night, I could only see the spring flowers and autumn leaves in the distance. When I looked closely during the day, I found that the four seasons really coexist in this mountain.

What's more, there are still patches of plum trees. Although there is no falling snow, the plum trees are covered with a layer of white sand, which is no different from winter plums falling snow when viewed from a distance.

And all the scenery blends together without any sense of disobedience, only the wonder of seeing the four seasons at a glance.

The scenery in this mountain seems to have been carefully arranged, even the most beautiful gardens can't compare to one percent of it.

Just when Shiyu was amazed by the scenery among the mountains, he suddenly saw an old woman not far away who seemed to be stepping on her feet and reaching for the fruit on the branch with some difficulty.

Shi Yu touched Su Mi, and asked softly:

"A fairy too?"

Su Mi squinted his eyes, this place must be inaccessible to mortals and ghosts, even some little immortals, the White Deer guarded this place tightly, but the old woman in front of him...

Before Su Mi could speak, the old woman turned her head and looked at the two of them.

57. White Deer ([-])

-

Seeing the old woman's face, Shi Yu was slightly surprised.

The old man did seem to be in his twilight years, his face was criss-crossed, and his eyes were too cloudy to show any expression.

But the old man's clothes are not rough, the crutches in his hands are also polished carefully, and the shoes under his feet are obviously from stepping on the mud, but there are no stains.

When the old woman saw Su Mi and Shi Yu, her wrinkled face stretched slightly, revealing a gentle smile.

Su Mi narrowed her eyes, the old woman in front of her was indeed not a fairy but a demon, and there was a faint old bloody aura on her body.

But maybe it's time for it to disappear, the demon power on the old woman's body is already very weak, and it can't do any harm to people.

It's just that Su Mi also has some doubts, how can an old demon enter here?

The old woman held a fruit in her hand, wiped it with a clean veil, and looked at Shi Yu and Su Mi:

"This fruit is not available anywhere else, but it's sweet, do you want to try it?"

Shi Yu also looked at Su Mi with some doubts, the old lady looked kindly and didn't know how to refuse.

Su Mi approached the old woman to take the fruit, nodded slightly to express her gratitude, then took a bite and found that there was nothing wrong with it, so she reached out and put the fruit to Shi Yu's mouth.

Shi Yu took a small bite, and the sweetness of the fruit instantly filled the mouth. It had the fragrance of apples but was as juicy as watermelon.

The old woman smiled:

"Is this fruit delicious?"

Shi Yu nodded and took another bite.

"It's just that I'm old and useless, and I can't pick the taller fruits. If you two like it, you can walk two steps forward to the fruit forest. There are more fruits over there."

Speaking of which, the old woman hammered her back, and said with a sigh.

Su Mi saw that the old man in front of him was not malicious, so he didn't pay more attention.

"May I pick some for you?" Seeing the old man, Shi Yu somehow remembered the director of the orphanage before, and felt a little kind in his heart, and felt a little embarrassed to eat the old man's fruit for nothing.

"Good boy, pick it and eat it yourself," the old man waved his hand, "I still have some at home."

"You live here?" Shi Yu looked around curiously, he thought that no one lived in this place except the white deer.

"I've been here all the time," the old woman stood for a long time, her back even more hunched, "If you don't mind, why don't you come to my house for some tea? I still have cakes, and no one has been with me for a long time." have eaten."

There was some expectation in the old man's voice, but also a little lonely.

Shi Yu subconsciously glanced at Su Mi, and seeing Su Mi wagging his tail indifferently, he took a step forward and helped the old man:

"Then I will bother you."

The old man's smile deepened, and he reached out and patted the back of Shi Yu's hand holding her arm.

That rough but warm hand made Shiyu feel a little stunned for a moment. His parents had never seen him, let alone his grandparents. For a moment, Shiyu felt a little envious of those three-generation families.I don't know if I have a grandmother, will it be like in the TV series, the old man will sneak a candy before going to school behind his parents' back.

-

The old woman's house was not too far from the fruit forest. Shi Yu and Su Mi matched the old man's walking speed and walked there in less than 10 minutes.

The old woman's house was behind a boulder, surrounded by something as tall as a man's reed.If the tall grass hadn't been pulled away, the small courtyard really wouldn't have been discovered.

The yard is full of small purple and yellow flowers, and it can be seen that it has been carefully taken care of.

The three of them entered the room, and the old woman tremblingly took out a can of tea from the cabinet.The tea caddy was sealed with wax, and there was still some dust on the lid.

The old woman said with some embarrassment:

"I haven't seen anyone else for a long time. Zai Zai likes this tea, and I keep it for him to drink if I have a chance."

Shi Yu and Su Mi sat at a small round table. The old man made tea, then walked into the back room, and after a while brought out a plate of pastries.

The shape of each piece of pastry is different, some are pinched into the shape of crabapple flowers, and some are shaped like a white rabbit. It is very interesting to look at them vividly.

The old woman sat on a chair with a backrest, and there was some joy in her cloudy eyes:

"Try it, good boy."

Shi Yu took the white rabbit-shaped pastry and took a bite of the rabbit's tail. The filling inside was very simple, just sesame seeds and white sugar, and it tasted like the one he had eaten many years ago.

"Is it delicious?" The old man looked at Shiyu expectantly.

"En, it's delicious." Shi Yu was a little reluctant to eat the cutely squeezed rabbit, thinking that he should take the flower.

When Shi Yu was hesitant, he looked at Su Mi, and saw that Su Mi ate a pastry in the shape of a small goldfish in two bites.

The old woman seemed to see Shi Yu's hesitation, and her smile deepened:

"My Zaizai was like this when he was a child. He rubbed his mouth against the little rabbit cake but refused to eat it. At first I didn't know it. I thought he didn't like little rabbits, so I ate it."

"In the end, he cried all night, saying that the little rabbit had disappeared. Later, he pinched another one for him, and he stopped making trouble."

The old man reached out and took a piece of pastry shaped like a deer, put it in the palm of his hand, touched it twice with his fingers, hesitated for a while but was not willing to eat it, and put it back.

Seeing that the old man was sitting on the chair, Shi Yu seemed to be very uncomfortable. He had to put his hands behind his waist for support, as if it would hurt to lean directly on the back of the chair.

So Shi Yu asked:

"Have you any cushions here?"

"Cushion?" The old man seemed a little puzzled, "What is that?"

Shi Yu thought about it, maybe it was called differently, so he stretched out his hand and gestured:

"It's filled with cotton, which can be used as a pad behind the waist."

"Welcome pillows," the old man suddenly realized, "I used to have them, but they were useless, and now I'm too dazzled to make new ones."

Shi Yu ate the pastry and took another sip of tea, pursing his lips:

"Do you have cotton and cloth, and I can make one for you?"

The old man looked at Shiyu in surprise, but soon returned to his smiling face, got up and took some fabric and cotton from the cabinet:

"There are no boys who can do this."

Shi Yu said in a low voice:

"Actually, I haven't done it either."

Shi Yu just thinks that the cushion is nothing more than two pieces of cloth sewn together, with some cotton stuffed inside, it shouldn't be too difficult.

The old man froze for a moment, then couldn't help laughing:

"You really look exactly like my Zai Zai when I was a child."

The old man sat down, drew a square on the cloth with lime cake, and taught the scissors to Shi Yu:

"I'll teach you how to cut the cloth along this line."

Shi Yu held the scissors and thought it would be as easy as paper-cutting, but the fabric always got stuck in the scissors, and became crooked as soon as the scissors were pulled off.

"Come on, it's okay," the old man stretched out his hand to flatten the cloth, "This way it will be cut more neatly, and it doesn't matter if it's cut crookedly, you can sew it in."

Su Mi saw that the old woman was going to stretch the cloth half-standing, so she simply moved to Shi Yu's side, bent down and stretched out the cloth.

Shi Yu had cut it well, but Su Mi suddenly swept his tail at his back, making Shi Yu's hands tremble.

The old woman thought that Shiyu was a little nervous, so she comforted her:

"You have done a good job, my son, you secretly made me a dress at that time, and the cloth surface is all curled with raw edges."

While talking, the old man walked to the front of the bed, took out a neatly folded dress from under the pillow, shook it out, and found it was a goose yellow skirt.

"A few days in the spring of that year, Zai Zai was always in the house by himself, and he couldn't even shout." The old man gently stroked the faded skirt, "One day the flowers were all blooming, and Zai Zai was very early in the morning. He stood by my bed and said he wanted to surprise me."

"I asked me to close my eyes and walk into the yard, and when I opened my eyes, I saw this skirt in his mouth."

"He can't hem it, it's just a piece of cloth with holes punched on both sides for the straps to go through."

"My cub said, I'm the most beautiful person, this little guy has such a sweet mouth. He said I should wear a beautiful color, so he made this skirt for me."

"I don't know how long he had to cut this piece of cloth with a knife in his mouth. It is estimated that a lot of cloth has been damaged."

"But I'm really happy, my Zai Zai must be the best child in the world."

While the old man was speaking, Shi Yu had already cut the cloth and began to hem it with a mat.

The old man took a look and smiled:

"The seam is to turn the two pieces of fabric over and sew them together, and the stitches are to be hidden inside."

Shi Yu looked at the cloth that had been sewn on one side, feeling a little embarrassed, thinking whether to tear it apart and seal it again.The old man continued:

"However, it's good to sew it outside. Don't hide these thoughts. I'm happy to see them like this."

"Be careful, don't..." The old man just wanted to tell Shi Yu not to prick his hands, when he saw Shi Yu's brows frowned, and some blood dripped from his fingertips.

"Oh..." The old man stood up anxiously, "Stop sewing, I'll check if there is any medicine left."

"I'm fine..." Shi Yu wanted to tell the old man not to help him find medicine.

As soon as the fingertips became hot, Su Mi took his finger in his mouth, sucked and allowed it lightly, then let go and licked Shi Yu's fingertips.Then he stood up, with an inexplicable smile in his eyes, and licked his lips.

Shi Yu was tickled by Su Mi's action, so before the old man came back, he secretly took Su Mi's hand and licked Su Mi's fingertips with the tip of his tongue.Then he turned his head away, as if nothing had happened.

Su Mi was stunned for a moment, but soon gave a low laugh, and used her tail more presumptuously to be mopped up behind Shiyu.

The old man came back with some ointment and insisted on rubbing it on Shiyu.The ointment is a little cold to the fingers, but it is very comfortable.

-

In the end, Shi Yu sealed the edges of the cloth crookedly, leaving a small opening, and stuffed cotton into it, making the two pieces of cloth bulging.It looks like some cushions.

Finally, the mouth of the stuffed cotton was sewn shut, and several openings were made with a thin thread to ensure that the cotton would not leak out.

Shi Yu picked up the cushion and looked at it, it was really ugly...

Originally the piece of cloth was cut into a square, but after sealing it like this, I always felt that the corners were wrinkled, which was very different from the one bought in the store.

But the old man took the cushion very happily, stroked it carefully with his hand, and said in his mouth:

"That's great...it's really beautiful..."

"Try putting it on the back of your waist." Shi Yu said with some embarrassment.

"Okay, okay..." The old man put the cushion behind his waist. Although it didn't look good, it was just the right size to put it on his waist. "It's so comfortable, my good boy, thank you so much..."

"No..." Shi Yu waved his hand, "The dim sum you made is delicious."

"As long as you like it, as long as you like it," said the old man, picking up another piece of dim sum to stuff into Shi Yu's hand, "If you like it, eat more, it's much better."

Holding the piece of pastry, Shi Yu felt a warm current in his heart. Seeing that the old woman was indeed the only one in the room, he couldn't help but wonder who the old woman was referring to as "Zai Zai".

"Your child..." Shi Yu asked hesitantly, "Is your child not with you..."

When the old man heard Shi Yu's words, his expression became more complicated for a while, and he lowered his head and said in a hoarse voice:

"My child, my cub...my, my...it's all my fault."

Said the old man actually shed tears.

"My cub is fine, but he's not my child."

"Such a good boy, how can a monster like me be his mother?"

"You..." Shi Yu didn't know what to say for a while, thinking that his question was too abrupt.

"I...I..." The old woman looked at Shi Yu with panic and despair in her eyes, as well as reluctance and forbearance.

"It's not uncommon for demons to eat people." Su Mi stood on the side lighting a cigarette, and then looked at the old woman. "You have a very faint bloody smell, so you probably didn't wanton cannibalism."

The expression on the old woman's face was very surprised, but was quickly covered up by remorse:

"But my cub will never forgive me, he won't come back..."

"He hates me...I'm not worthy to be his mother..."

58. White Deer ([-])

-

The old woman put the deer-shaped pastry on the plate in the palm of her hand, with a look of remorse on her face but also a faint warmth:

"I lost my child before I turned into a demon, and I don't understand the principle that the strong prey on the weak, but as a mother, I am afraid that only parents can understand the resentment in my heart after losing a child."

"After I turned into a demon, I wandered around, and sometimes I stood outside those villages and looked at those lovely children. I wanted to take them away and raise them by myself countless times, and give them the best in the world, but I also know that I just She is a temptress, even if I take those children, they will leave me one day."

"I wandered for a long time, and one day I accidentally broke into this mountain. From a distance, I saw a thing like a rice-colored hairball shaking uncontrollably by the lake."

"I stepped forward and looked, only to find that it was a young deer. There was no smell of a doe or other companions around it. It was also much smaller than ordinary young deer."

"That little one is really pitiful. Even though it's not a human child, I decided to treat him as my own child. I called him Zai Zai, and he honked twice to answer me. It's really cute. "

"I built this yard and sewed small pillows and quilts for him. When he first moved in, he always couldn't sleep well. I don't know what to do, so I can only watch over it all night, for fear that it will get sick or feel uncomfortable."

"I thought he was just a young deer abandoned by the same kind in the mountains, but it was only three years old. One morning, he grabbed the door and called me 'Auntie' in a vague and trembling voice."

"I still remember that soft call to this day. Thinking about it, it still makes me want to cry. My cub called me 'Aniang'."

"After that, I taught him to speak, and sometimes I went to the teacher in the human village to steal books for him to read. I only know the simplest characters, and I can't teach him much, but my cubs can't produce a single one. month, you will be able to recognize all the characters by yourself."

"Actually, since then, I have a vague feeling that Zai Zai must not be an ordinary thing."

"But at that time, I thought, so what, he is my child no matter what, I want to give him more, more love."

"Sometimes, I will take Zai Zai down the mountain to see the scenery of the world. Begonias fall in spring, lotus flowers fill ponds in summer, and autumn leaves rustle and red plums come in winter. , I just like to see these scenes.”

"I remember that there was a heavy rain in the mountains and the road was slippery. Zai Zai fell and his legs were bleeding. I found a lot of herbs and used demon power to treat him but it didn't work. My Zai Zai stayed for three days. The cub's body is boiling hot, it really annoys me."

"I'm a demon, and I didn't believe in gods and Buddhas, but that night I built a small Buddhist shrine and placed a lot of tributes. I just thought whoever it is, bless my cub to get well soon."

"It's strange to say that after that night, my baby got better gradually. Although I blamed him for not paying attention to walking, I was really happy in my heart. My baby is healthy and healthy."

"It's been like this for about a thousand years, and things in the world are changing. Fortunately, those scenes haven't changed much, and few outsiders come to our mountain."

"The color of Zai Zai's fur gradually changed to a beautiful pale color, and I always felt that there was something about him that I couldn't describe."

"Zizai has grown up, he is no longer a little guy curled up in my arms, but in my eyes, he will always be a child, he will still rub his face affectionately Me, call me 'Aniang'."

"But my appearance has also changed over the years. Although the appearance of a monster has changed slightly, it will not survive a hundred or thousand years."

"It's been another 500 years in the human world, and Zai Zai's pale body has faded away, his fur is as white as snow, and even the antlers are silvery white."

"The night he turned into a white deer, the moonlight reflected the water, and when he stepped into the water, the stars seemed to fall on him. When I saw him from a distance, I somehow remembered the little brown ball by the lake 500 years ago. "

"He also looked at me, stepped on the water, and even the trees in the forest gathered their branches and leaves for him."

"He called me 'Aniang', but I saw my old age in his eyes."

"That time, I was flustered for the first time because Zai Zai called me A Niang. As a mother, I always have to go first, but I still can't bear my Zai Zai. I always feel that my child is still the same as yesterday. How can a trembling little one grow so big today?"

"Seeing Zai Zai's snow-white body, I became more aware that he is indeed not a mortal, but a fairy. How dare an ugly old temptress like me call him his mother."

"I heard that there is an immortal tree in the west. I think maybe my appearance is not so hideous. Maybe if I live longer, I can continue to be with my cubs."

"So one day I went down the mountain and headed west. But at that time, there were wars in the world, famine everywhere, and the villages and towns were devastated. But I didn't want to think too much. I just wanted to find the old tree this morning. Tree."

"However, when I passed by a village, I found that a farm family actually wanted to boil their children in boiling water to eat."

"I was short-tempered for a while, and I thought of my child who died thousands of years ago. Why, why would some people not cherish Zi's child so much? How cruel are these people, they want to cook and eat their own children."

"So I rushed in, killed the couple of farmers and women and ate them. I rescued the baby. The baby was still breathing weakly. I thought about using my demon power to save it."

"When I used my demon power, I suddenly found that my demon power increased greatly. I subconsciously looked around the room. I saw myself in the bronze mirror, and my face looked much younger."

"The baby in my arms recovered a little bit and cried loudly. I still had the blood of the farmer and woman on my hands. I felt a little flustered and unbearable for a while, but when I thought of the couple who wanted to eat me because of the famine child, I cannot forgive you."

"The child kept crying. Although I really wanted to take him back to raise him, but when I thought that I was the one who killed his parents, I felt nervous again, so I released the child at the gate of the temple."

"I stood by the water, saw my appearance in the water and the demon power in my body, and suddenly realized that even without the undead tree, I can live for a long time, and my appearance will return to the original."

"So along the way, I saw people who abandoned their children, and those who sold their children to the fireworks, they would kill them one by one and eat them in their stomachs."

"At that time, I thought that these people should be damned. People who don't cherish their own flesh and blood must be the most vicious people in the world. Then I will get rid of them all. This way... this... let those who don't know how to cherish their children fulfill me wish, that I can better accompany my Zai Zai.”

At this point, the eyes of the old woman were full of remorse and pain. She was holding the edge of the table vigorously with one hand, but the piece of white deer cake in the other hand was not damaged at all.

"Later when I went back to the mountain, Zai Zai saw me. I thought he would be happy, but he stood two steps away from me, and he didn't rub his head against me as before, calling me ah mother."

"He looked at me and asked me in a low voice: 'Are you a cannibal?'"

"I originally thought that what I did was right. Those people didn't cherish their children, but for some reason, when I saw Zai Zai's eyes, I was afraid that he would hate me. At that moment, I suddenly realized that no matter what, I was a monster." .”

"I don't know how to answer, but I subconsciously avoided Zai Zai's gaze. After a while, I called him Zai Zai, but what I saw was the deep disgust in his eyes."

"'I don't have a mother like you. I think you have raised me for many years. I won't drive you out of this mountain, but I won't come to see you again.' I didn't even have time to explain anything, and Zai Zai left."

"Although I have been in this mountain since then, and even searched deliberately, I have never seen Zai Zai again. I know he is hiding from me on purpose."

"I just...I just want to tell him that I know I did something wrong," the old woman said with a tear in her cloudy eyes, "Those parents are hateful, but I shouldn't kill them for my own reasons." .”
