double shadow

The village flute of the folk song is right next to the ear, vulgar but not mediocre.

The cowherd baby is wrapped in a bellyband and drives cattle on the hillside. The farmers are busy on the ridges of the fields, and the green wheat seedlings shyly explore the spring breeze.

The air is filled with the smell of spring soil, mixed with the unique smell of cow dung in the countryside.

Real and unreal.

Qin Feng stood on the ridge of the field blankly watching all this.

Where is this?

so familiar...

"Feng Wa, are you out to play again?"

"Feng Wa, don't dare to get covered in mud this time, or you will have to be scolded by your parents again!"

The busy farmers in the field suddenly raised their heads and showed a simple smile to Qin Feng, and many farmers even opened their mouths to make fun of it.

Before Qin Feng could react, he was dragged off the paddy field.

The uncles fished loach for him to play with, and made him laugh. Although Qin Feng felt that something was wrong, his playful nature made him put aside his thoughts about something wrong, and he had a great time playing.

"Feng Wa! Look at me splashed with mud, your sister-in-law will scold me again later!"

All kinds of complaints sounded, but they were pampered.

Qin Feng was happy, bent over and fished in the paddy field, and caught a lot of loach.

"Feng Wa is awesome! Let's eat fried loach tonight..."

"Feng Wa, that's amazing..."

"Fengwa..."

This kind of praise sounded, Qin Feng ignored it, only thinking about catching more loaches.

Suddenly, the voices around him became faint.

Qin Feng snorted and found that everyone around him had disappeared.

There are large expanses of green paddy fields, but he is the only one left.

As soon as the hand was loosened, the slippery loach was thrown back into the field without knowing it.

Qin Feng walked a few steps in the field in a daze, and then shouted: "Uncle—uncle—where are you going?"

"Where are you going..."

"Where..."

There were echoes, but no one answered.

Are you gone?

Qin Feng climbed up the ridge in a daze, at a loss for what to do.

Why didn't you tell him when you left?

"Feng'er, Feng'er..." A gentle cry came from afar.

Qin Feng turned around abruptly, and saw a commoner woman looking at him tenderly under the green shade in the distance.

It was a face that had begun to blur in the depths of memory, was it Mother?

"Mother?" Qin Feng asked with some doubts.

The woman beckoned to Qin Feng: "Feng'er, come quickly, come quickly to mother..."

That's right, it's my mother...

Qin Feng took a step and ran towards the woman.

In the clear sky behind him, the green paddy fields disappeared like a tidal wave.

The woman was dressed in plain cloth and held a bamboo basket in her hand, which exuded the fragrance of rice.

Qin Feng walked up to the woman, who lovingly stroked Qin Feng's head: "Go, Feng'er, let's go and deliver food to your father."

Qin Feng nodded obediently, followed the woman, bypassed the country road, and saw a man who was plowing in a certain paddy field.

The man wiped the sweat off his face and looked at Qin Feng and the woman with a happy smile on his face.

Qin Feng also wanted to laugh, but somehow felt that the scene was illusory.

The couple looked at Qin Feng lovingly, and asked him softly where he went one day and what he did.

Qin Feng couldn't remember, so he could only stare blankly at the two unfamiliar yet familiar people.

Are they really father and mother?

The sky suddenly darkened, and it began to rain heavily.

The surrounding scene changed, and it became a mud-walled tile-roofed house. The man sat on the threshold and watched the pattering rain, telling him what happened outside.

"Life outside is different from us here, and people are also different from us. Living outside, if you don't have a foundation, nothing but your head is a ruthless word."

Qin Feng asked curiously, why did he tell him about the outside world, wouldn't he be farming in this place like a man in the future?

The man laughed heartily, and covered his forehead with a generous palm: "Feng'er, you are different, you will go outside and stand tall!"

Qin Feng seemed to understand but not understand.

The woman was weaving, and the creaking and creaking sound of the weaving was going on rhythmically, and even the sound of the rain outside was getting louder and louder along with this rhythm.

The man stopped talking and began to look sadly at the sky.

The woman comforted the man softly.

Qin Feng watched as the food hidden in his home began to become moldy, and there was an unpleasant musty smell in the air.

The water has slowly started to overflow to people's ankles, the corpses of rats and animal feces are soaked in it, and the stench is unpleasant.

In the distance, children wearing bellybands are playing in the water with bare feet, and women are carrying water in the stream mixed with the accumulated water on the ground.

You can't do this, you will get sick... Qin Feng shouted in his heart, but found that he couldn't make a sound!

The man in the family fell ill and started coughing non-stop.

There is a smell of medicine in the house.

Many people in the village also fell ill, with cough and fever, one after another.

The man locked himself in the room and did not go out, and the woman was boiling medicine with tears in her eyes.

The dull cough caused the roof of this originally happy home to collapse.

Qin Feng suddenly felt that the rain might not stop.

People died in the village because of the plague caused by the heavy rain!

plague.

Two words make everyone change color!

Someone came from outside, saying that a plague broke out in the village, and all those who got the plague were to be burned!

The benevolent and friendly eyes turned into evil spirits in an instant and rushed into his house.

Qin Feng was stuffed under the bed by a woman.

He saw that the uncles who hugged him in the past had completely changed, with ferocious faces barging in with hoes and mallets in their hands.

"Burn him, burn him!!"

The yellow and thin man who was already lying on the bed was dragged out of the bed, unable to even resist.Those simple eyes had lost their luster, and when they saw Qin Feng, they made a silent mouth shape: run away....

The loom was smashed to pieces, and the unwoven cloth was torn into pieces, floating around, just like the scene he saw.

The fire that spread all over the sky engulfed this strange yet familiar house.

The woman sent him away with blood on her face, and her shrill voice echoed in the sky: "Go away! Never come back..."

The whole sky seemed to be stained with the bright red of the fire, and the strange and familiar faces of men and women slowly disappeared in the raging flames.

Father, Mother, are you leaving?

Do not seal it?

He began to shuttle around unknown places in ragged clothes, curled up in the corner of the street.There are many children like him, looking at the pedestrians on the street with confused eyes, accepting their sympathy, indifference or contempt.Qin Feng didn't have the heart to analyze the thoughts of pedestrians, he only knew that he was very hungry, and his stomach was cramping.

Finally, when he was about to faint from hunger, an old woman couldn't bear it, and stuffed him with a fragrant steamed bun.

How fragrant...

The fluffy, steaming steamed white flour steamed buns also had a sweet smell, which made his eyes straight.

If you eat it, you won't be hungry...

Qin Feng almost swallowed it, trying to stuff the steamed buns into his stomach.

But the small mouth couldn't fit, and most of the steamed buns were left outside.

Suddenly, a group of beggars with red eyes surrounded him, and Qin Feng knew that they had taken a fancy to his steamed buns.

Qin Feng curled himself into a ball, and stuffed the steamed bun into his mouth desperately.

Eat it, eat it!After eating it, you will not starve to death, and the steamed buns will not be snatched away...

Fist densely hit him, Qin Feng saw with his own eyes that the steamed buns in his mouth were snatched away by the red-eyed beggars, and he didn't mind at all that the steamed buns were covered with his saliva, he ate them all, and then coaxed him And scattered.

"Life outside is different from us here, and people are also different from us. Living outside, if you don't have a foundation, nothing but your head is a ruthless word."

The words of the dead man suddenly came to the bottom of my heart, to live, except for the brain, is a cruel word.

After that day, Qin Feng felt that he began to change.

Gradually he learned to lie to others, learned to pretend to be a pig and eat a tiger, and learned to be fierce. If you punch me, I will give you a cold knife, struggling to survive at the bottom of society.

But he felt that his life was not like this.

Why do you have this idea?Is that what the man said?

"Feng'er, you are different, you will go outside and stand tall!"

At first, Qin Feng was not willing to be an ordinary beggar, he used his brain and vigor to become the boss of beggars.Grab territory, grab food!

During the period, I suffered many injuries, and a few times I almost died on an empty street corner.

But in the end it survived.

"Boss! You are amazing!"

"Our boss is the best!"

"Brother Qin Feng, I know you are the best!"

Goudan, Ah Tie, Xiao Li, and everyone... with eyes of trust and admiration.

Qin Feng felt that it was worth living like this.

In the ruined temple, everyone played and made trouble, thinking that if they saved more and more money in the future, they would live a good life together.

In the dark night, everyone lit a bonfire together and walked around the bonfire hand in hand.

No food, no wine.The dance is out of shape, and the song out of tune.The laughter continued, as if they were not abandoned by others, and they were not little beggars who had a hard time surviving.

Qin Feng was also tightened in the dance circle. Everyone had no special steps, but just turned and danced by instinct.

At that moment, Qin Feng forgot the fire in the countryside, the man's colorless eyes, and the woman's hysteria, and he also smiled, so happily.

He is not alone anymore, there are so many people working so hard to live with him...

Xiao Li suddenly let go of his hand, and asked with a blushing face, "Brother Qin Feng, do you like me?"

Qin Feng was stunned, Xiao Li asked him if he liked her?

Qin Feng was so embarrassed that he didn't know how to speak. He had never thought about these things. He just wanted to live well and try to live better than others...

"Woooo..." Xiao Li suddenly cried, and Qin Feng went to comfort him at a loss.

"Crack!" Qin Feng was a little taken aback by the burning pain in his cheek.

"Why didn't you protect Brother Goudan and the others, as well as the second kidnapper Ah Tie! You are not worthy to be our boss, I misunderstood you!" Xiao Li shouted at him hysterically, with Qin Feng's fearful disappointment in his eyes.

What... the dogs are dead?

Qin Feng couldn't believe it, weren't they still dancing?

Looking back in a daze, the ruined temple has been shrouded in darkness, the bleak moonlight shines on the bodies of Goudan and the others, and the blood has also turned into black, as if to swallow all the light in his eyes.

That's right...they are all dead, Goudan and the others are already dead.

Xiao Li left with Grandpa Bai, and he was the only one left in this world...

Qin Feng held his head and crouched in the dark shivering.

It's all because of him, he doesn't have the strength to protect them, he can't save the parents who were burned to death, and he can't save the dog who was killed by mistake.

Everyone important to him is dead, all dead...

He is the only one left in the world. If you treat him well, everyone will leave and don't want him anymore...

"Haha, he's just a little beggar. He brought shit to our Gu family, so he thought he was some kind of young master!"

"What is aptitude? If no one teaches him, he is still a waste!"

"What are you guys doing keeping him here? It's just raising more dogs. Why are you clamoring?"

Those familiar faces pointed at him with ironic smiles.

Qin Feng shrank in the darkness and clenched his fists.

No, he is not useless, he wants to avenge everyone, he will practice martial arts very hard, and he will repay the Gu family in the future.

But he's not a dog, he's a human!Is a self-respecting person!

"Oh!"

Pained like a broken bone, Qin Feng was hit on the ground and spit out a mouthful of blood.

The man who was as beautiful as the scorching sun stepped on his hand: "I see you are upset, can you die?"

No...he can't die, he still has to live...

Obviously, he has endured so much suffering...

Why should he die?

Shu Mo smiled cruelly, palms fell on him non-stop, the pain of tearing apart his bones almost made him lose his will.

Can't die, how can he die in the hands of this person, does this person know how hard he is to live? !

Enduring the severe pain, he grabbed Shu Mo's sleeve and sent his fist over with all his might!

But it didn't hit Shu Mo's chest, but a gentle wind slowed down his fist.

A refreshing laurel fragrance wafts over.

Qin Feng paused, the person in front of him couldn't see his face clearly, he was wearing a gorgeous robe of white moonlight, floating like a fairy in the nine heavens.

"Immortal..." Qin Feng's words were not smooth, "Yes, is that you? You came to save me again, didn't you?"

The immortal did not speak, although he could not see the facial features of the immortal, he could feel the gentle gaze.Qin Feng unconsciously touched the immortal's face with his hands.

Before touching it, the fairy's figure slowly became transparent, and transparent butterflies flew out, with the fragrance of flowers, as beautiful as a picture scroll.

Every time the butterfly flies away, the fairy's figure will become lighter!

"Immortal! What's wrong with you?" Qin Feng stepped forward and hugged the immortal, trying to stop those flying butterflies.

But as soon as I touched it, I found that the immortal was so thin and his body temperature was so cold.

There were also flying transparent butterflies passing through his fingers that he was desperately trying to stop, one after another, he couldn't stop them no matter what.

Finally, the fairy turned transparent and disappeared.

There seems to be a helpless sigh coming from the sky...

"No!" Qin Feng yelled, sitting up abruptly.

It's almost pitch black!
