Chapter 75
In the dark and deep cave, the sound of water murmured, and the stream from nowhere flowed slowly along the sides of the cave, blowing away the remaining stuffy feeling.
The thin young man crouched in the dark with his back bent, his eyes glistening with tears, he tilted his head motionless at this moment, as if extremely puzzled, staring blankly at the faint glow not far in front of him. white light.
From the sound of the child's innocent voice, the light from the highest part of the cave silently shines down, softly covering the child who fell on the ground, clearly depicting the pair of round and clean eyes, the firm childishness His expression, that familiar fiery red figure.
As it was then.
The young man just stared blankly, suddenly a sob choked up in his throat, his shoulders trembled, he took a deep breath, raised his thin wrist hastily, covered his face with cold palms tightly, bent over and cried in collapse When he got up, there was an intermittent hissing sound in his throat, but when he listened carefully, it was an all-too-familiar word.
"Jiaojiao... Jiaojiao...why...why...why...why..."
Crying once again filled the silent cave, but this time there was less hatred that was almost overflowing, only a gaffe of extreme grief.
It wasn't until the moment when he saw the child with his own eyes that he had to admit that all the peaceful and beautiful memories of the past had never disappeared from his mind.
He still remembered the first time he saw Mo Jiaojiao.At that time, he was always playful and loved to be transformed into a lamb, but the child has not yet transformed, but is still a small and stupid cherry pepper, who just bounces behind him every day and greets him. Go to Sunset Lake to practice.
Occasionally he walked too fast, and Little Cherry Pepper couldn't catch up with him, so he would start crying, lying in the grass, rolling and crying, unwilling to get up no matter how you called, insisting on him going to grab the tender branches , carry on and move on.
Later, Mojiao was coked into shape.The lack of the demon pill makes the child always forget people. Every day the elders in the valley see Xiaojiao, they will take the initiative to come over and introduce themselves.However, the strange thing is that the child can't remember the people he has met, but he only remembers the lamb who plays with him every day, calling him "Yun Cake" softly, saying that he looks as cute as a snack, and the reason is silly I often make myself dumbfounded.
Time flies in the valley, and he has changed from a newborn lamb to a half-human lamb.Mo Jiaojiao is not good at walking, and he falls down several times every day when he goes to school. He hunches Jiaojiao onto the sheep's back automatically, but Jiaojiao is always afraid that he will be too tired, and he will slip off the ground after a few steps. Gently tugging at her own horn, she followed him stumbling to school.
In his memory, he had never seen Jiao Jiao really angry.Children are always well-behaved and obedient.
He used to be Jiao Jiao's stand-in, and his father would take him out of the valley to play every rest day. That was his happiest moment.At that time, Mo Jiaojiao would hide in the grass, wave goodbye to him on tiptoe, and never lost his temper.
Although he is Jiao Jiao's stand-in, he has no less love than a child.His father, Senhu, watches over him every day and night to coax him to sleep, but because Jiaojiao wants to learn to be independent, he can only turn into his original shape and sleep alone at the bottom of the dark and deep sunset lake.
Every day after school, he has countless toys and picture books that children in the secular world love, but Jiao Jiao spends more time in boring classrooms. Sometimes children can't learn some lessons, and they will sneak back to the library by themselves. Make up lessons, but the lack of Yaodan has always curbed Jiao Jiao's talent, and the child held the book and wiped his tears aggrieved many times.
All kinds of past flashed through my mind like a revolving lantern.
Yun Gao didn't understand why he was crying so sadly. He obviously put all the responsibility on Mo Jiaojiao. He could fill his empty heart with hatred as much as he wanted, and he could force the child to die with vicious words, but at this moment , he only felt uncontrollable pain, which kept bursting out from his chest.
What qualifications does he have to bully Jiao Jiao? Obviously, this child should cry more than he should, but at this moment, he is reduced to let Jiao Jiao teach him the correct principles.
The crying young man seemed to have forgotten everything, Mo Jiaojiao awkwardly got up from the ground, and patted the soiled red robe.He squeezed his little hands and moved step by step towards the dark place, his little face was clean without any trace of tears.
When the boy was crying, the crying child who was supposed to be frightened as well was uncharacteristically quiet and well-behaved.
After a long time, the child walked into the darkness completely and stood in front of the boy.
In the next moment, the warm palm was pressed against the boy's cold cheek, and the tears in his hand were touched.
The continuous crying also stopped abruptly with this movement.
The child squatted down in front of the boy, and a light and soft voice rang out slowly.
"Yun Gao, don't cry, Jiao Jiao coaxes you."
As he said that, the child put his other hand on the boy's hair and patted it slowly.
"The owner of the valley said that the life of monsters is the same as that of ordinary people. There are always many sad things. Sometimes nothing can be done, and sometimes it is very unfair. Jiaojiao knows that Yungao thinks it is unfair, and Yungao feels wronged."
"Yun Gao is not wrong. In the past, Yun Gao would cry when he was unhappy, and Elder Fox would pat Yun Gao's head to coax you. Now Jiao Jiao coaxes you too."
"Elder Lu Wei said that children always have to be sad, but it will be fine after crying. Yun Gao will also get better."
"Elder Fox and Valley Master have become stars. Jiao Jiao knows that Yun Gao is very angry, so I'll go find them and come back, okay? Trust Jiao Jiao."
"You... aren't you a child yourself?" The boy stared at the child who was close at hand, and asked, "You are very scared, why don't you cry?"
"When Yungao is crying, Jiaojiao should not cry. When she was young, Jiaojiao fell down, and Yungao turned into a lamb with Jiaojiao on her back to make Jiaojiao happy, so now that Yungao is crying, Jiaojiao wants to be a big Child, take care of Yun Gao." Mo Jiaojiao replied seriously.
"Then if I'm going to die, can you give your life to save me?" Yun Gao asked hoarsely, with obvious evil in her voice.
"Why did you die?" Mo Jiaojiao's hands trembled, and his eyes widened.
"The core of your demon core is in my body, and we are now in a symbiotic relationship. I am hanging on by your demon power." The young man smiled softly, "Didn't you say that you can be like the owner of the valley? Then Now, if you give me your life, I will live, will you promise?"
Hearing this, Mo Jiaojiao let go of the boy's little hand, pursed his mouth and did not speak for a long time, he tilted his head and looked at the darkness ahead with great concentration, then stood up suddenly, took out the storage bag at his waist, Start rummaging.
Seeing him like this, the boy smiled sarcastically and said, "You can't do it."
Unexpectedly, the child raised his head and glanced at him, then suddenly stuffed something into his mouth with lightning speed, then pressed his jaw and closed his lips, before he had time to react, the mouth Things have slipped down the stomach.
Immediately afterwards, Mo Jiaojiao stuffed the entire storage pouch into the boy's arms, and said in a soft voice: "This is a scorched hot pepper, and there are many, many heavenly fires in it. If Yungao swallows a hot pepper a day, it won't hurt." dead."
Seeing that the young man remained silent, Mo Jiaojiao tightened his belt hesitantly, and said in a low voice, "Jiaojiao is willing to save you. But Jiaojiao must not die now. Gu asked me to do many things. I can’t die. I know Yun Gao is angry, but I want to live, Gu Zhu said, he and the elders have no choice, but Jiao Jiao is different, Jiao Jiao can save more monsters only by living.”
The soft voice came into the ears, it seemed timid, but it was very determined.
The young man quietly looked at the child in front of him, tightly held the storage bag in his hand, and slowly closed his eyes.
"You go."
As soon as the words fell, the sky brightened in the dark cave, and the dream was shattered and ceased to exist.
***
When Mo Jiaojiao woke up, it was already the tip of the moon.
From time to time, there were a few muffled voices of conversation in the Sunset Pavilion, and the child turned over in a daze, opened his eyes, and sat up from the couch.
He looked around blankly, and when he saw a familiar figure sitting by the table, he suddenly flattened his mouth, murmured "Nine Nine" in a low voice, and sobbed with his head raised.
As soon as the child cried, the people sitting by the desk stopped talking for an instant.
The next moment, Mo Jiaojiao was carried into a big embrace.
The cold fragrance penetrated into the tip of the nose, the child lowered his head, and pulled his limp limbs into the man's arms, rubbing them as if he wanted to hide himself completely.
Dugujiu let the child make trouble, only hugged the child's back, and hugged the child face to face on his knees, just like he usually hugs him, let Mo Jiaojiao's hands and feet wrap around him, and his big palms comforted him along the trembling body. Back, expression difficult to distinguish.
However, the child who was crying today has been holding back his tears, only his shoulders are trembling constantly, and his small hands are clenched tightly on the man's black clothes, so hard that his wrists are trembling.
The man stared down at the little hand for a while, then moved his gaze up, staring at the child's flushed side face, and said in a deep voice, "Jiaojiao, make a sound."
Mo Jiaojiao shook his head stubbornly, choked up and said, "Jiaojiao...don't cry."
Hearing this, Dugu Jiu tightened her arms holding the child tightly, her long eyebrows frowned, and her thin lips were pursed into a straight line.
Everything that happened in the dream, they had already seen clearly through the Tonggu Mirror in the Sunset Pavilion, and they naturally understood why Mo Jiaojiao was holding back and refused to cry.
Sword Master Chongrong and everyone in Yinshen Valley painstakingly concealed the truth for a long time, but it was finally revealed by Yun Gao.Or Mo Jiaojiao didn't fully understand, but what the child said in the dream has silently proved a fact.
He knew that Hidden God Valley died because of him, and he took all the responsibility for it.
Dugu Jiu knows better than anyone else what the child's phrase "Jiao Jiao also wants to be a monster like Gu Zhu" means.
He hasn't grown up yet, but he has already understood the debt of life and death, and even accepted the fact that he has to sacrifice for the Yaozu. Even, the child is magnanimous, and he thinks it should be taken for granted.
"Jiajiao." The man's hoarse voice rang close to the child's ear, but there was no more words.
Anyone can tell Mo Jiaojiao that you don't need to sacrifice, you don't have to die generously.Only Dugu Jiu couldn't.
They are hundreds of millions of years apart in age, and the gap in experience is as deep as a gap, but they all understand the same fact-the sacrifice of the entire Yinshen Valley family must be borne by someone in the end. When no one in the world can bear the burden, they will duty-bound.
"Don't be afraid." The cold and lonely sword fairy finally lowered his eyebrows, and coaxed in a low voice: "What Jiaojiao can do, I can do it too. With this sharing, Jiaojiao can grow up safely big."
