I'm sorry, I want to be a new person

Chapter 228

"Are you a monster?"

In Yunzhou, on Liangjianshan Mountain, a child with pigtails that reached the sky squatted on a big rock, looking at the, er, weird person in front of him.

He is tall and human-like, with hands and feet, but with red hair.

If there are only these things, it will probably be regarded as a red-haired ape, but it is stronger and taller, but it has a bird's head.

Looking at the whole body, there is a sense of dissimilarity, so much so that the mountain shepherd boy forgot to run away when he saw it, and was only curious.

The red-haired monster lay on the grass with his legs crossed, staring directly into the scorching sun and paying no attention to the shepherd boy.

Seeing that the other party did not respond, the shepherd boy became more courageous.

The other party is like those lazy people in the village. Those lazy people spend a whole day in the sun, drowsy and don't work.

The last bit of fear disappeared as the shepherd boy poked the red-haired monster with a cattle-grazing stick.

"Mother said, sleeping in the mountains will be taken away by monsters, are you the monster who is holding people?"

The red-haired monster didn't respond, as if everything outside had nothing to do with it.

"If you are a monster, don't eat me. If you are not a monster, be careful of being eaten by a monster."

The shepherd boy chattered about something, and didn't realize it until the sun went down.

"Oh! Where's my cow! It's over! Mother is going to kill me!"

In these years, a cow is far more important than a child. If his father and brother were not free today, he would not be allowed to be in charge of such an important property as a child.

The shepherd boy was about to leave in a panic, but he rolled on the ground twice with his left foot and his right foot, and burst into tears.

"I'm going to be beaten to death by my mother, I lost the cow!"

The red-haired monster finally reacted, glanced at the shepherd boy, and then waved.

"Crack!"

In the forest behind, a panicked old cow floated out, supported by an inexplicable force.

The shepherd boy retrieved the old cow, kowtowed to the red-haired monster while crying, and said that he would thank it well.

The red-haired monster still didn't respond.

The next day, the shepherd boy climbed up the mountain alone without driving the cattle, and the monster didn't move all night.

The shepherd boy took out the sour wild fruit that few birds would eat from his bosom.

He wanted to thank the red-haired monster, but his family was worried about food, so he could only pick some unwanted sour fruits from the forest.

He got up when the sky was getting dark, and worked hard on the mountainside for two hours. This was the only gift he could give.

The red-haired monster squinted for a moment, but remained silent again.

On the third day, the shepherd boy brought some hay again.

"You don't change places for several days, your butt will get sores, use this to keep you warm!"

The shepherd boy gradually became more courageous, and regardless of whether the red-haired monster was willing or not, he took hay and stuffed it into the gap under the opponent's body.

On the fourth day, the shepherd boy brought half a dry biscuit.

"If you don't eat the fruit, will you eat the bread? Aren't you hungry? Being hungry is the most uncomfortable thing."

Half a dry biscuit, like those sour fruits, was placed on the big stone beside it, rotting away day by day.

The shepherd boy didn't come on the fifth day, probably because he couldn't leave due to farm work.

On the sixth day, the shepherd boy still did not come.

On the seventh day, the shepherd boy drove the old cow to this mountainside that only he knew, squatted beside the red-haired monster, and chattered a lot.

The red-haired monster was probably annoyed, and finally said, "Xiaowa, I want to ask you something."

The shepherd boy said: "What's the matter? I don't know much. My parents always say I'm stupid."

"Why are you alive?"

This question obviously confused the shepherd boy. He grabbed the braid on the top of his head and thought for a long time before saying, "For...eating delicious food?"

"What if you don't need to eat?"

The shepherd boy remained silent for a long time, and tentatively said, "To help parents with work?"

"What if you don't have parents?"

"That's for getting married and having children! My father has always wanted to tell my eldest brother about marriage, saying that it is the most important thing in life!"

"Then what if you don't have any siblings?" said the red-haired monster.

The shepherd boy was confused again. He didn’t even understand what being of the same race meant.
"But it's a good thing to be alive. It's better than dead. Before Uncle Liu died in the village, his family cried miserably!"

The red-haired monster is a little annoyed:

"It is said that there is no one of the same race, how can anyone cry, how can anyone care?"

The red-haired monster had no answer.

It is born with nature, does not like to kill, is born wise, and understands language.

But no one can answer its question.

It used to dominate the mountains and fields, and jackals, tigers and leopards were just its pets.

He also visited human villages at night and caused many ghosts and strange things.

The world seemed to be divided into two parts.

One is called "Mountain" and the other is called "Human World".

Although the beasts in the mountains don't care about its appearance, they have no intelligence at all. It is difficult for the red-haired monster to treat it as the same kind.

The world is full of forms, although it is bustling and lively, but they are grouped together by their appearance, and they are just monsters in the eyes of others.

Decades in the mountains, ten years in the world.

The result is only loneliness.

Then it realized a truth that it was in this situation because there were no similar ones.

The beasts in the mountains can multiply because of the companionship of the same kind.

The prosperity of the world is wonderful because of the gathering of the same kind and passing down from generation to generation.

And it has nothing.

In the mountains and in the world, there is not even a single being who can understand what it is, not even itself.

So it no longer played with the beasts every day, and no longer went to look at the human village every night, but began to study those things that were born in its mind.

He wants to have his own kind.

He didn't know that those things were the secrets of human beings.

Ten years passed in a flash.

During the ten years, the shepherd boy went up the mountain occasionally, and the red-haired monster only cared about his own affairs and seldom responded.

But the shepherd boy regards it as his best friend and greatest secret, and often comes to tell him his heart.

The Dabin Dynasty had a lot of disadvantages. Being an official, a soldier, a bandit, and a landlord, they all had to scrape some oil and water from the common people.

When the shepherd boy was 5 years old, there was still a farming ox in the family. Although it was shared by each house in the big family, it was considered a well-off farmer who could eat enough.

When the shepherd boy was seven years old, the old cow was taken away by the refugees, killed and eaten for meat.

When the shepherd boy was nine years old, the Yunze Lake was flooded, the fertile fields were flooded, and there was almost no harvest. He ate up the last bit of stored grain and began to sell the fields for farming in the coming year.

By the time the shepherd boy was 13 years old, the whole family had become sharecroppers.

At the age of 15, his parents died of illness, and the few members of his family could not scrape together a few copper coins to watch the doctor. He worked hard every day to farm the land, but he owed more and more money.

"Hong, I don't want to live anymore."

Red is what the shepherd boy called the red-haired monster.

The shepherd boy is 15 years old, but his face is already weathered, sallow and thin, showing signs of premature aging.

"Father and mother are dead, the eldest brother was arrested by the strong man and hasn't returned for three years, the second brother was beaten to death by the landlord's servants, even the younger sister I didn't protect, was forced to sell, I am ashamed of my parents. Everyone bullies me Pressing me, I thought about it, why should I suffer for another 30 or [-] years?"

The red-haired monster sat up straight, and it didn't quite understand the idea of ​​"seeking death".

"Is it bad to live?"

"It's too tiring, the relatives have been separated, and no one cares when they die."

"Do you want to marry a wife and have children?"

"A poor family, why do you want to lie to others and suffer together? Why bother to have a child and bring it to this world to suffer together?"

"Would you like to eat something delicious?"

"Three meals are all chaff. If you don't eat, you will be hungry, and if you eat, you will have abdominal pain. I have never eaten anything good in my life."

The red-haired monster thought to himself, if it had its own kind, it would definitely not treat it like this.

So the red-haired monster taught the shepherd boy what he had figured out.

"If you learn this, you don't need to eat, and you don't fear being bullied, then stop being a human being and be like me. I will definitely not bully you."

The red-haired monster is excited about having the first of its kind.

In order to turn the shepherd boy into his own kind, the red-haired monster seeks spiritual fruits from the mountains for its health, and hunts tigers, leopards and wolves for its strength.

After January, a red-haired monster rushed into Liujia Village at the foot of Liangjian Mountain and slaughtered 29 members of the landlord Liu Kun's family, regardless of gender, age or age. They were all torn alive. But with five arms and a height of two feet, those who see it are frightened.

Afterwards, he was decapitated by a red light and died. The body did not rot for a month, and no one dared to touch it.

It happened that Wang Wenwei, the governor of Yunzhou, was inspecting the vicinity. Hearing about this, he insisted on coming to check.

______________
Ye Da took a mouthful of happy water and almost spit it out.

"So you are not 'Yunzhou Governor Wang Wenwei'? That's not right."

Wang Weiwen took a puff of the "Beautiful Cigarette" and exhaled a smoke ring with his head raised.

The surrogate drivers behind seemed to see some guests coming out, and started to get busy, chattering, even in the early hours of the morning, it made people feel like they were in a busy city for a short time.

"Don't worry, just listen to me and continue. After all, it's been such a long time, and I have to deal with it."

The smoke ring gradually dissipated.

"At least at that time, I was not Wang Wenwei, governor of Yunzhou."

______________
"My lord, after passing these two sharp mountains, you will be Liujia Village. There are only about two hundred people in total. It is really not worthy of your majestic governor of the state to condescend."

A 30-year-old white and clean literati, walking with a horse, with one deep foot and one shallow foot, so embarrassed.

The literati's name is Wang Wenwei. He was ranked second in high school at a young age, and his wife's family background is profound. In his early 30s, he was released as a governor of a state. He can be described as a winner in life.

The position of governor is important or light, his father-in-law said that he is stupid and straightforward, and this release is also an experience.

Wang Wenwei has two major hobbies. One is that he loves poetry and articles. Every time he gets a good work, he forgets to eat and sleep to study, almost crazy.

Especially Ye Da of Liangzhou, who has risen to fame in recent years and is regarded as a "child prodigy", "reincarnation of literary stars", and "a master who is a teacher", although he has never met, it can be said that he is regarded as a god-man by Wang Wenwei. , he must read it day and night, copying it silently hundreds of times, wishing to sleep with his arms in his arms, and his wife is often angry because of this.

And the second hobby is to visit anecdotes and strange things. It not only satisfies curiosity, but also accumulates inspiration for my articles. I look forward to writing beautiful poems like my idol Ye Da one day.

At first, Wang Wenwei didn't have much hope for the recent legends in Liujia Village, thinking that there was a high probability that it was the villagers' rumors.

But when he saw the two-foot-tall, red-haired, six-legged and five-armed monster corpse, he was completely stunned.

Dabin's strangers did not hide their tracks. Even among Wang Wenwei's colleagues in Beijing, there were a few strange people who had practiced Buddhism, but Wang Wenwei himself was a pure literati after all. Didn't sleep well all night.

The corpse had been placed here for more than a month. Although it was not rotten, it was not a good thing after all. In order to avoid epidemics, Wang Wenwei ordered the accompanying police officers and soldiers to properly dispose of the corpse. Because it was too large, it had to be divided into pieces and burned.

That night, when the flames rose, the whole Liujia Village could smell the strange fragrance.

In the middle of the night, there was a sudden heavy rain, which extinguished the flames of the cremation.

An eight-foot tall figure wrapped in a hood knocked on Wang Wenwei's door.
