Chapter 123: The nameless world begins, a cry of a cry in the empty valley (Part 2)

When I walked into the stadium, Mr. Gao was wearing a white training suit, which was very eye-catching. In addition to the wind and rain, he would practice Tai Chi here every day. With my current cultivation level, even without using the Qingming Mirror, I could see a layer of golden light hidden all over him. He was indeed a person with a strong masculinity! I stood quietly by the side and waited for them to finish practicing the boxing and stop the stance.

I haven't been here for a long time, but those old men and women still remember me. After punching, they greeted me and asked me why I didn't come to practice boxing. I smiled and replied that I was already in my third year of high school and my studies were quite nervous. Mr. Gao also came over and asked me with a smile: "Xiao Shitou, studying also requires a good body! When I was as old as you, my body was so boned!... How did you feel recently? I think your complexion is much better than when I first met you... Why are you free today and come to see us old people again?"

"Old man, I came to you specifically today. I have one thing."

Mr. Gao looked at me and said, "What's wrong with me, the old man? I won't ask me to sell dates for you again, right?"

"The golden dates will only be harvested in autumn. I like to eat them until the season. I will send you more. Today I want to ask you something. I heard that you picked up an abandoned baby at Feijinfeng 19 years ago. Is this true?"

The old man was stunned and looked at me in confusion: "It's because of this. How did you know? What's wrong with that child?...No, I think about it, did you once tell me that you were from Shizhu Village, right?"

"What does this have to do with Shizhu Village?"

Mr. Gao looked at me with a look of surprise and joy, which made me at a loss. He suddenly said, "Are you nineteen years old this year? Are you old man Jin in good health?"

"I'm nineteen, and I'll be twenty next month. Grandpa Jin is in good health. Do you know him? The dates you sold for me last time were planted by him." I originally wanted to ask Mr. Gao about his abandoned baby, but he didn't expect that the old man answered the question that he asked, and even mentioned Shizhucun and Grandpa Jin.

Mr. Gao: "It's such a coincidence that I haven't seen you for 19 years. The Five Animal Show I taught you was taught by Old Man Jin before the liberation. I didn't expect that you have grown up so much. It was your Grandpa Jin who asked you to come to me? This world is so small, it's you, Xiao Shitou."

Mr. Gao's words were like a light flashing in the darkness. I heard the meaning of the words. He actually thought I was the abandoned baby from that time, and Grandpa Jin also knew about the abandoned baby when he picked it up. Judging from his tone, the child should be in Shizhu Village, and it is nineteen this year.

I frowned and asked him, "Old man, please speak slowly, say one thing at a time. What do you mean, do you think I am the abandoned baby back then?"

My words meant to deny them. Of course, I was not an abandoned baby. My parents were staying well in Shizhu Village. But Mr. Gao was a little excited and didn't hear it. Instead, he thought I had admitted it. He only heard his tone of excitement: "Of course I can't recognize you when I see you, but I have other ways to recognize you. If you lift your clothes, do you have a birthmark on your chest?"

I didn't have a birthmark on my chest, so he must have made a mistake. I subconsciously lifted my clothes, and I saw Mr. Gao take a look and then open his arms to hold me in his arms, patting my back with his powerful hands: "It's you, you've grown up, your child! You are really a person of your heart, and you haven't forgotten to come to me, the old man who picked you up. The red birthmark on your chest looked like a plum blossom when you were a child..."

There was a blood-red plum blossom mark on my chest. But that was not a birthmark, it was a scar in the red snake whip! The one who was injured was Feng Junzi, but he didn't know what strange Taoism used to borrow the golden dragon lock jade pillar, and there was a scar on my chest suddenly. And the child picked up by Mr. Gao actually had the same birthmark on his chest. This was really a coincidence!

Mr. Gao is both excited and happy now. I can’t explain it clearly to him after a few words. Forget it, I won’t explain it for the time being. It’s not too late to ask the matter clearly before understanding it. I also patted the old man on the back: “Old Gao, don’t be happy first, don’t forget that I am here to ask you today. How did you pick up the abandoned baby? Can you tell me the process?”

I didn't ask him how he picked me up, but only asked him how he picked up an abandoned baby. Unfortunately, Mr. Gao didn't hear the meaning of the words, but this sentence also reminded him. He let go of me and took my hand: "You finally came to ask me about these today. Come and find a place to sit down and talk slowly." We sat down on the steps by the playground and listened to Mr. Gao's past talks about--

Almost twenty years ago, 1971. At that time, it was the most chaotic era of criticizing Lin and Confucius, and the four old days were criticized by the demons and demons in the streets. At that time, Gao Feijin, the leader of the Wucheng area, had already been "seized" by the Revolutionary Committee. Faced with the messy situation, Gao Feijin was bored and often hid in the countryside to become a free-spirited faction who did not ask anything. One day in early October of that year, he borrowed a semi-automatic rifle from the armed forces department and went to Feijinfeng, which was rarely visited by people to hunt and relieve boredom.

As for the part where he injured Xiangfei Mushi and picked up the baby, Ziying had already told me that the key was after going down the mountain. He walked down Feijinfeng with the baby in his arms, but met an acquaintance at the foot of the mountain. This man's surname is Jin, and he was an old Chinese doctor in Xiashizhu Village, Wucheng Township. When he was fighting guerrillas before liberation, Gao Feijin was injured once and hid in the home of a fellow villager in the Zhaoting Mountains to recuperate. It was Grandpa Jin who came to treat him. Later, Grandpa Jin also taught him a five-animal show that can strengthen his body.

Grandpa Jin came to Feijin Peak to collect herbs today, but saw Gao Feijin holding a baby down the mountain, so of course he had to ask him what was going on. After hearing that this was an abandoned baby picked up in the mountains, Grandpa Jin asked him: "How do you want to settle this child? The current situation in the city is so chaotic, and even you can't tell whether you will be beaten tomorrow, how can you take care of this child when you take it back?"

Gao Feijin heard that, so he asked Grandpa Jin what to do. Grandpa Jin said, "We are quite peaceful in the countryside. Let's do this, give this child to me. There is a couple in Shizhu Village who have not had children for three years after marriage. They have always wanted one, even if they are adopted. I will take him back to the village and give it to the couple to raise him. Don't worry, that family is pretty good."

When I heard this, it was like a heavy hammer ringing a gong in my ear, which made my mind buzz. I just thought Mr. Gao had misunderstood, but the person he was talking about now was clearly me. In early October 1971, my birthday in my household registration book was October 8, 1971! In this half year, our village has no children of the same age. I have no children for three years after marriage. My parents got married in 1968! It seems that no other family in our village has this situation.

I can't remember what Mr. Gao said, and how I told him not to leave the stadium. I only remember that I didn't go to school, but was walking on the road like a sleepwalking. When I came to my senses unconsciously, I found myself standing in Jingwu Cave Heaven with a Qingming Mirror in my hand, and my whole body was covered with water.

I don’t know how I got here, so I stood there stupidly. At this time, a person came out of the Zhushehou Zhushe, Zhuguo Forest, opposite. It was Liu Yiyi who came to fetch spring water in the morning. Yiyi was shocked when she saw me: "Brother, why are you here? Are you here to fetch water for me?"

I almost responded in a conditioned manner: "I don't know, I don't know I'm here."

My abnormal appearance surprised Yiyi and worried. She put down the kettle and walked over and grabbed my hand: "Brother, you look so strange?...ah! Why are you so confused?"

Liu Yiyi knew his heart and was proficient in empathy. She immediately felt the empty and confused emotions in my head. She helped me walk into a bamboo house and let me sit down. Yiyi half-kneeled in front of me, put her hands on my knees, looked up at my eyes and asked, "Brother, what's wrong, what's wrong? I'm telling Yiyi?...I vaguely heard you ask 'Who am I' in my heart, what's wrong?"

Yiyi's words finally woke me up from the chaos. I calmed down and reached out to touch her hair and said, "Yiyi, brother is fine. I just heard someone telling a story and felt a little confused... I'll be fine... I'll be fine after a while. Don't worry, I'll be fine. Don't worry, I really have nothing to do."

Yiyi looked at me, nodded, and left with a puzzled look. After Yiyi left, I sat there alone and my heart was wafting. I lived for almost twenty years, and suddenly I suspected that my father was not his parents or his mother, and I didn’t know where I came from? This is a very indescribable complex emotion. Maybe Mr. Gao made a mistake. This is just a coincidence. The birthmark is proof! But why did I have such a scar on my chest? My parents must be clear about this matter, but how could I ask them such a question? Grandpa Jin must know that I must find an opportunity to ask Grandpa Jin and figure it out!

Just as I was thinking about it, a warm fragrance came, and Ziying was standing in front of me at some point. When I looked up and saw her, I heard a concerned statement: "Ono, you have something to do! Liu Yiyi came to me just now and said that you were confused and thoughts. She didn't know what to do, so she asked me to see if you were sick. Tell me, are you going to find that old man Gao?...What happened?"

Ziying knew that I knew Gao Feijin, and suddenly guessed that I went to find him in the morning. Liu Yiyi didn't understand many common things, and I couldn't tell her some things, but Ziying was different. If I wanted to find someone to tell her, she would be the best partner.

"Ziying, come and sit down. Let me tell you one thing... The abandoned baby in the mountains you mentioned yesterday is probably me!"

Ziying was shocked: "Ono, what are you talking about? I have seen your parents."

"I just said it's very likely, but I didn't say I must be. Listen to me and say it slowly..."

Ziying sat down next to me, and I passed on everything Mr. Gao told me today to her, and also explained the doubts in my heart in detail. Ziying gently stroked the back of my hand, listening quietly to me without saying anything. It was not until I finished speaking that she asked a question I didn't expect just now: "Ishino, what are you going to do if you are really that child? For example, how do you plan to treat your current parents?"

Ziying asked this question wonderfully. She didn't ask me who I was, but asked - how should I deal with this matter now? At this time, my thinking was completely clear. I looked at Banzhulin outside the window and said, "My parents have always treated me like my own son, even better than other people's own sons. From childhood to adulthood, I have never beaten or scolded me except for careful care. Even if there is only one bite of delicious food at home, I always give it to me first, and then it's my sister's turn. With such parents, what else can I say? It doesn't matter whether my biological son is a child!"

Ziying: "I feel that your parents are not ordinary spoiled to you, nor are you spoiled children. They seem to be a little too polite to you!"

"Is that right? I didn't feel it. But when I was a child, someone in the village said that I was a wild child picked up from the crack of the stone. Forget it, I won't say these words. I have decided that I won't ask my parents, and I won't let them know that I am doubting my life experience. Even if I am the abandoned baby, I will always treat me as my own son, and I will always treat them as my own parents. Not pointing it out is the best choice."

Ziying: "It's rare that you have such a good temperament. You should really treat them like this. So, how do you investigate this matter, and do you still want to investigate this matter?"

"I think, of course! I also want to know if I am the abandoned baby? If so, why would I be abandoned in the deep mountains as soon as I was born?"

Ziying: "You may not be very clear, but I experienced that era. At that time, everyone was in danger of turmoil in the world, and many good people were forced to go to the fore. Think about it, isn't this the case of Liu Yiyi's family? Maybe the biological parents of the abandoned baby were desperate and had no choice. But the parents' hearts cannot be too absolute to their children. Even if they abandoned, they should abandon them in a crowded place. There is no reason for abandoning them. There must be other reasons, and they really need to be clear.... How do you plan to check?"
