The Lost City of Alien Beasts

Chapter 614

On the concrete river dam, mother took the small bamboo basket from Jupiter's hand, opened the white cloth, and took out incense candles, money paper, a bowl of uncooked rice, a pot of white wine, two wine glasses, and three bowls of cold dishes.

Mother faced the river dam, lit three incense candles, inserted them into the uncooked rice, arranged the food and wine, and pulled Jupiter to kneel down with her.

My mother lowered her head and burned the paper money while mumbling something.

Today is the first anniversary of her husband's death. She went to her husband's grave early in the morning to sweep his grave, and then came here.

After Mu You passed away, his wife was so sad that she became a little nervous and became superstitious. She gradually believed that it was the water ghost in the river dam that took her husband's life.

She came here to worship the "River God" of the Yuanyang River, hoping that the River God could save her husband's soul and allow him to be reincarnated as soon as possible and not become a lonely ghost.

Jupiter buried his face deeply, not daring to express his anger. He couldn't help but think of his father: It would be great if his father were still here. At that time, the family of three was happy every day, and his mother would not be like this.However, my father is gone forever. I killed him...

Jupiter felt a dull pain in his chest. Sadness, guilt, grievance... the negative emotions that had accumulated in his heart over the past year finally burst his body at this moment.

He raised his head and looked at his mother.

At this moment, my mother's prayer to the "River God" has ended. She respectfully poured a glass of white wine, raised it high, and sprinkled it on the river.

The first cup is to worship the river god.

He poured another glass of wine and sprinkled it on the dam at his feet.

The second cup is to worship the mountain god.

Pour another glass of wine and sprinkle it into the sky.

The third cup is a tribute to heaven.

"Guru..."

A few bubbles appeared on the water in front, creating small ripples that slowly expanded.

The woman was stunned for a moment, thinking she had seen it wrong.

Soon, she was convinced that this was not an illusion: Could it be that the "River God" appeared?

She subconsciously grabbed Jupiter's hand beside her and held it tightly.

"Whoa-"

After a few seconds, a head emerged from the water.

"Ha...ha..." The man gasped, stretched out his hand to wipe his face, looked at the mother and son on the river dam, waved and shouted: "Xiaofang! Son!"

"Old Mu?" Yan Xiaofang, Jupiter's mother, opened her mouth wide, and the corners of her eyes quickly moistened in shock: "You, you..."

"Haha!" Mu You in the water smiled and swam towards his wife and children. As he swam, he asked, "Son, have you recorded the time? How long did I hold my breath this time?"

Jupiter held his mother's hand and smiled happily: "I counted 233..."

"Haha, I can't do it anymore." Mu You still laughed: "Your dad and I could hold it in for 300 times before."

Mu You swung his arms and kicked up the water, and swam to the river bank. He held up his hands and picked up the water, trying to get ashore.

Yan Xiaofang was stunned for a few seconds, then immediately reached out and grabbed one of her husband's hands: it was not a corpse, not a water monster, it was warm and strong, it was the hand of a living person.

Yan Xiaofang used force to pull Mu You up the river dam.

"Lao Mu, you, you..." Yan Xiaofang's face was filled with tears and her voice was trembling. She quickly lowered her face and angrily blamed: "Where have you been this year? You have tortured us, mother and son, to death!"

"Oh, what's going on?" Mu You didn't expect it. He was shirtless and stepped forward to hug his wife into his arms. His movements were still so clumsy: "Honey, stop crying. I'm sorry, I'm sorry, yes. It's not my fault that I made you two suffer."

Mu You tilted his head to look at Jupiter, smiled and waved.

Jupiter immediately rushed over and hugged his father and mother's legs happily, and the family of three snuggled together.

"Old Mu, nothing happened to you, why don't you go home? Do you know how I got here this year..." Yan Xiaofang sobbed in Mu You's arms, feeling extremely aggrieved: "I really, many times didn't want to Now that I'm alive, I just want to take my son with you..."

"What nonsense are you talking about! Am I back now?" Mu You touched his wife's hair and let go of her: "Come, let me see you."

Mu You stared at Yan Xiaofang's face and frowned distressedly: "I've lost a lot of weight. Stop crying. It's all over. I'm back. Everything will be fine." "Well... it's all over, you Just come back..." Yan Xiaofang cried and laughed.

Mu You stretched out his hand to wipe his wife's tears. Just as the man's hand was about to touch his wife's face, he disappeared.

Yan Xiaofang was startled and didn't understand what happened.

The fact is: in an instant, her husband Mu You disappeared from her eyes.

"Old Mu?" Yan Xiaofang opened her eyes wide and stood on the river dam. She looked around in panic: "Old Mu! Old Mu, where are you? Stop scaring me, come out quickly..."

"Are you hiding in the water again? Stop teasing me! I'm angry..."

"Lao Mu! Lao Mu!!"

Yan Xiaofang's anxious and desperate voice echoed in the empty mountains and forests.

No one responded.

Yan Xiaofang turned sideways and found that Jupiter beside him was a little strange. His son's eyes turned green at some point, a stream of blood flowed from his nostrils, but he was smiling at the corner of his mouth.

"Jupiter, you..." Yan Xiaofang was very confused: "You, what's wrong with you?"

"Mom, I'm fine..." Jupiter's face was pale and his breathing was unstable, but he was very happy: "Wait, wait a little longer, dad will be back soon..."

Yan Xiaofang was shocked. She knelt in front of Jupiter and grabbed Jupiter's shoulders with both hands: "Jupiter, you, what did you just do to mom?"

Jupiter's voice was proud: "Mom, dad will be back. Just wait, I have a way..."

Yan Xiaofang's red eyes welled up with tears again. She hugged Jupiter into her arms: "Jupiter, silly boy, my mother is sorry for you during this time. My mother is suffering too much. She doesn't know what to do, so she goes crazy. Can you please forgive mom..."

Jupiter's chin rested on his mother's shoulder. He was very weak, but he smiled happily because his mother was finally willing to hug him: "Mom, it's not your fault, it's my fault..."

"Yes, it's your fault." Mother interrupted Jupiter coldly.

Jupiter belatedly realized that his mother's arms had become cold and slippery, getting tighter and tighter, almost breaking his body apart.

"Mom...it hurts, it hurts so much!!" Jupiter shouted while struggling.

late.

Mother's arms have turned into countless soft, slippery and tough tentacles, which tightly wrap around Jupiter. On the tentacles are squirming blue-gray insects, like strange leeches, biting open his skin while sucking While licking the blood, it drilled into the flesh.

Gray-white and gray-blue scales also appeared on the mother's face, and her pupils shrank, like a glass ball of divine purple light.

——No, she is not a mother, she is a monster.

Jupiter thought with fear and despair.

"It's all your fault! It's all your fault! That's why mommy wants to eat you!" Yan Xiaofang entered a state of extreme excitement, with a ferocious expression and a trembling voice: "Be obedient, mommy will do it very quickly, very quickly, very lightly, there won't be any Pain, no sadness, just like falling asleep..."

"Mom...Mom...save...me..."

Jupiter was suffocated and could no longer make a sound.

At first, he could still feel the cold, sharp and slippery insects biting his flesh and blood, but soon the pain became blurry.

He was wrapped in some cruel tenderness, as if soaked in water.

His body was like white snow under the sun, melting little by little, and finally became formless, and the surroundings suddenly turned into complete silent darkness.

Soon, the darkness seemed to disintegrate, and some strange brilliance flowed in, illuminating Jupiter's face.

My father's voice sounded in my ears again:

"The universe is so big and boundless. There is everything and nothing in the universe. In the universe, we are as small as a grain of sand. Just thinking about it makes me feel beautiful..."

——Dad, I seem to have seen the universe.

——You didn’t lie to me, it’s so beautiful.
