I didn't become a human today

The snow and fog filled the air, one after another.

Seven-year-old Ji Ran has walked in the snow for a long time. He used to be able to run in the blink of an eye when he was healthy, but now he walks step by step and it is extremely difficult, as if no matter how far he goes.

Ji Ran's eyes went dark, and he finally fell headlong into the snow.

The snow was heavier, and the wooden box was gradually buried by the wind and snow.

When the old housekeeper got up at night to check on Ji Ran's condition, he found that he was gone. He sent someone to follow the footprints up the mountain to search, and finally found Ji Ran unconscious on the hillside.

At that time, Father Ji hurried back with the long-sought miracle doctor.The genius doctor was different from ordinary people, knowing that the demon pill could cure all diseases, so he fed the only demon pill that was still in his collection to Ji Ran.

He stood in front of Father Ji and stroked his beard, "I was originally a cultivator, but halfway through my practice, I met my current wife. This demon pill is very important to me, only this one, You should exchange it with me for something equally important. When I passed the inner courtyard just now, I found that the century-old tea tree in your yard is growing well, so you can exchange this tea garden and that tea tree with me."

Ji Ran's eyes pressed against the notch and tried to look inward. There were too many people in the room, and he couldn't see the face of the genius doctor clearly for a while.

Father Ji said without hesitation, "Okay." After finishing speaking, he felt a little heartache.

On the second day, Ji Ran recovered from his illness, but only lost part of his memory.

He forgot the agreement, forgot the existence of the wooden box, and reluctantly moved away from the tea garden with Father Ji.

this is all.

Right now, Ji Ran has finally retrieved the lost memory, even though he watched it from the beginning to the end from the perspective of a bystander, it is not important, what is important is that he now knows the approximate location of the wooden box.

He stood up straight and looked at the monster again, "I will try my best to find it. It is my fault that you have become like this. Don't worry, I will definitely fulfill our agreement."

The monster wailed, and following Ji Ran's words, suddenly fell to the ground, panting continuously.

He is very weak, very different from when Ji Ran saw him before.

The monster was lying on the ground, and it seemed that it was in desperate need of breathing. Its abdomen was constantly swollen and sunken. Gradually, Ji Ran discovered something unusual.

On the ground where the monster was lying, there were protruding things like blood vessels intertwined with each other. Those things spread from all directions and gathered under its body.

Ji Ran searched for the source of those bulges all the way, and found that they could easily pass through the bottom of the wall and open the gate of the courtyard, everything became clear.

The cloud of black air surrounding them has actually shrunk inwards by the distance of two hilltops. The black air shrinks inwards with the monster's breath. Wherever the black air goes, the vegetation withers, forming patches of forests. From emerald green to pitch black, the faster the monster's breathing, the faster the black air shrinks.

It is constantly absorbing the life of the surrounding animals and plants to prolong its own life.

At this moment, Liang Xingye, who went out to investigate, came back. Seeing the situation in the courtyard, he thought that Ji Ran was attacked by that monster again, so he quickly drew his sword and attacked.

"Don't!" It happened so fast, Ji Ran didn't have time to stop it.

The monster's body was still very weak, and he couldn't escape Liang Xingye's attack. With a knife in his shoulder, he swung his claws at Liang Xingye angrily, and a strong wind hit him.

Liang Xingye jumped onto the roof to dodge, and when he looked up again, the monster had already fled in a hurry.

"Don't hurt it." Ji Ran endured the pain on his back, "It's my fault, it's all my fault for it to become what it is today."

Before he had time to explain everything to Brother Xingye, Ji Ran rushed out of the door, following the route he had glimpsed in the notch just now, the small self overlapped with the big self.

This road is the road leading to the shallow pool.

Ji Ran observed the surrounding scenery all the way, where exactly did he fall down?Many years ago, the surrounding environment was different from what it is now. He couldn't confirm where he fell last, so he could only look for it all the way.

It started raining again.

Ji Ran's clothes were soaked through, and his mood was a little broken, he kept walking and stopping, digging in the mud.

Liang Xingye followed him without saying a word, and when he got wet in the rain, he stayed with him in the rain.

"It should be here...Why is there nothing?" Ji Ran kept digging in the mud with his bare hands, his fingers were covered with large and small scars.

If it wasn't for him, he wouldn't be what he is today.For so many years, he has been living by sucking the life in the forest, he has been waiting for him, but what about him?He completely forgot everything that happened in the past!

"Why! Why not!" Ji Ran fell to the ground.

Liang Xingye looked at his current appearance, and couldn't bear to hug him from behind, "Ji Ran, don't blame yourself, what are you looking for? I'll help you find it together."

"A box, a wooden box... That was the agreement between me and him, but after I recovered from the illness, I forgot about him... Look at the black air around you, if you still can't find it, we will die too Here." When Ji Ran said this, he paused, "I deserve to die, but Brother Hoshino, you and the people who also live in this land are innocent... If... If you are all buried here because of this... , I became a sinner... I have accomplished nothing in my life, and I am not worthy of cultivating immortals. I deserve death and deserve it..."

He cried very embarrassedly, the first time he was so embarrassed when he grew up.

No more high-spirited, no longer fearless, no longer free and easy.He degenerates from a proud son of heaven to an ordinary person in the blink of an eye, crying loudly, complaining, and blaming himself... For the first time in his life, he felt so helpless.

Liang Xingye knelt halfway, hugged him in his arms, and comforted him constantly, "Ji Ran, you can't look down on yourself like this, don't take all the blame on yourself just because of one unintentional mistake. You can’t say stupid things like you are not worthy of cultivating immortals. Who says no one is perfect? ​​In my eyes, you will always be that perfect person, who is the sky, the earth, the breeze, the bright moon, and all the good things in the world. Stuff. Do you still remember the little boy you rescued from the hands of monsters in the desert many years ago? You taught him to read and write, taste tea and appreciate paintings, you gave him righteousness, and you told him not to be arrogant, put down Figure, go among the people. You gave him everything, so that he can live as chic and comfortable as you even in the days when he is separated from you. That little boy is me. My life is given by you, mine You gave me the name, everything in my bones is yours, I have no home, no relatives, I don’t even need a place to settle down, I’m always looking for you..."
