Aoki always felt that he had something to say to the woman, but he couldn't remember for a moment. His head was like a lot of insects biting. He had a terrible headache.
The woman saw that he didn't speak, sighed and said: "I'm old and rotten. It's time for me to see my husband. We did something wrong, listened to Beiye's words and hurt your family. The fire has burned for forty years, but it has burned in my heart for forty years. Today, I'll give my life back to you, but I only ask you one thing not to hurt my daughter. The Sang family left you a seed and the Du family Seed it! "
The woman stood up and went to the yard. The yard was full of firewood. She stood on the stack and lit the fire herself.
The fire flared up. The woman said in the fire, "don't worry, my daughter will never take revenge on you. I asked her to go to masuba to cure people. She doesn't know what's going on here. I asked her to believe in Buddhism, cultivate her spirit with the power of faith, and establish a spiritual Buddhist kingdom in the sea. Before the Buddhist kingdom is completed, she won't leave here or go after what happened in the past."
She then folded her hands and announced the Buddha's name. The fire, like the apricot of a giant snake, wrapped around her and swallowed her.
Aoki had a headache. Seeing the fire, he felt more and more uncomfortable.
Holding his head and shouting, he rushed out of the temple, stumbled on the mountain road and rushed into the streets of masuba.
The flame lingered in his mind. He seemed to see many suns in the sky, the heat wave swept in, the flame fell from the sky, and the mulberry trees all over the mountains lit a raging fire until the black smoke covered the sky.
Exhausted, tired and thirsty, he finally fainted under a wall.
He opened his eyes mistily and saw a young woman standing in front of him, smiling like a flower.
"Who are you?" he asked.
"My mother asked me to treat you," said the woman.
"Cure me?"
"My mother said the patient would pass here and let me wait here. I've been waiting all day. You're right."
"How are you going to treat me?"
"It's cured!"
"Cured?"
"Well, I cured you when you fainted. You fainted so much that you didn't even dream, but it can't help me. You're just blinded by the flame of hatred. Just put out the anger in your heart, and you'll be fine!"
Aoki stood up and found that his spirit was much better, not as trance as before. But his memory slept deeper, as if he didn't even bother to think about things.
He knew that the woman's mother, the woman burning in the fire, took great pains to protect her daughter.
But he didn't want to hurt her daughter at all!
Is there really hatred in his heart? Did he come here for revenge?
He looked at the young woman and said, "I don't have money to pay for the clinic."
The woman said, "my mother said you paid."
The woman left and left him a bag of dry food before she left.
He walked blankly, not knowing where to go.
At the mouth of the dam, he ran into a group of horse Gang men covered with mud. They carried large baskets and small baskets on their backs. They were covered with cloth. I don't know what they contained. One of them was a dark child with a rifle about his height. He looked very eye-catching.
As soon as the caravan entered the wall of the dam, it was a terrible ambush. The caravan people were strong, but there was nothing to do. People were tired, and another group of people obviously had long been prepared and waited for work. The battle soon ended, and all the people of the caravan died. The horses and supplies were taken away, and the guns were picked up, leaving only two people to carry the bodies under the wall.
A child got up from the corpse and stabbed him with a saber into the stomach of the bandit who carried him as a corpse. Then he stood straight, staring at two hate eyes and watching another bandit raise a black muzzle. Unexpectedly, he was generous to die.
Aoki saved him.
"What do you do?" Aoki gave him a piece of dry food and asked.
"Paoma gang." the child seemed very hungry. He just ate and spoke very briefly.
"What did you carry?"
"Smoky soil."
"Why do you want to bring smoky soil? It's not easy to run something else?"
"Run away and don't have enough to eat."
"What's your name?"
"Wu suoton."
"Where is your home?"
"No home."
"Where are your parents?"
"Dead."
……
When leaving masuba, the thin child looked back with a fierce look in his eyes, bit his lips and said, "one day I will come back for revenge."
……
In the mountains of northern Myanmar, they lost their way.
Wu suoton asked Aoki, "where are we going?"
Aoki didn't know where to go. Before, he still had a feeling. With this feeling, he crossed several border lines from Saigon and came here. Now, his feeling has disappeared.
In order to save dry food, they began to eat wild fruits and weeds to satisfy their hunger.
Wu suoton picked a lot of mushrooms and looked delicious.
Aoki said, "are you not afraid of poison?"
Wu suoton said, "it's OK to run in the mountains with the caravan and often eat mushrooms."
He wolfed down his fill first. Aoki saw that he ate it, so he ate it, and then he was poisoned.
First it was spinning, then there was no strength, and then there was an illusion. He saw the raging fire again. A crow flew around on the fire and chirped.
He leaned against the root of the tree and asked Wu suoton, "why aren't you poisoned?"
Wu suoton sat two meters away from him, looked at him warily and said, "I ate it with the antidote."
Aoki remembered that when he ate mushrooms, he did chew some grass. He smiled sadly and said, "where did you learn it?"
Wu suoton said, "the horse runner learned it."
Aoki said, "why poison me?"
Wu suoton said, "I have a small appetite. I can eat your dry food for several days. Two people can't get out of the mountain."
Aoki stopped talking and opened his eyes to see the sky. It was getting darker and darker. It was broad daylight, but it seemed to be covered with a piece of cloth.
Wu suoton waited carefully for a long time, then took the dry food and money bag from Qingmu, touched it up and down again, and finally took off the pair of cow leather shoes and carried it away.
Aoki could have used his last mental force to control Wu suoton, but he didn't. He said with his last strength, "aren't you afraid of retribution?"
Wu suoton said, "I don't believe in God. If there is a God, you can let him come to me or send an angel."
Aoki thought he would die in this old forest. He thought of dewar and Dewar's mother again. At the last moment of confusion, he saw a fire.
He felt that he had become a tree, burned into charcoal in the fire, and stood on the open ground all over. Overhead is the bright Milky way.
The sweet dew flowed down from the Milky way, fell on his face and into his mouth.
