Chapter 976
: The Speed of Life and Death
After one night.
Dashu dragged his exhausted body and went to work in the mine again. He only worked all night, and he was obviously lacking in strength. If it weren't for the police who saw that he was still working hard on weekdays and gave him some face, he might have already beaten him. Got to roll all over the floor.But even so, the policeman also exploited the longevity of the big tree for an hour. In exchange, today he will not hit this lazy and inactive big tree for the time being.
After work, Dashu returned home in a carriage.
The carriage is pulled by spirit beasts, and it takes 10 minutes of lifespan to sit on it.If you don’t have the fare money, then I’m sorry, I can only walk back to the city. Although the Hall of Time in the city is open all year round, you can go to collect longevity yuan from morning to night, but if you don’t take a car, you can go back to the city. Ordinary people rely on one pair of feet to walk, even if they run wildly all the way, it will take half an hour to return to the city.
Returning to the city was late, so naturally I didn't have a good rest.
I didn't have the energy to go to work the next day. If I didn't bribe the police, I would be beaten again.
Such a vicious circle is not far from death.
Dashu gave him 10 minutes of life, and when he got home by car, his mother Qiangwei asked him where he was last night. Dashu blushed, embarrassed to say it, but his mother just nodded silently. Naturally, you can guess what the countdown is doing.
Many things, everything goes without saying.
When the spring is warm and the flowers are blooming, it is almost the birthday of Dashu.
Dashu is naturally a rough-headed person, so he will inevitably forget his date of birth, but his mother Qiangwei has not forgotten, and even agreed with Dashu to buy a hen and mend it for Dashu. It's a birthday celebration.
Dashu agreed wholeheartedly, but the life essence in his hand was no longer enough.
This morning, before going to work, Dashu looked very sad, because he only had a few hours of life on his arm.If calculated according to the time he worked before, it was exactly one hour before he could return to the Hall of Time to receive his life yuan.
If this hour is short, there is no doubt that he will die!
Originally, with the longevity of the big tree of thirteen hours a day, it was just enough for him to survive.
But Dashu has found a woman, and sometimes he will be listless, so he will inevitably bribe the police. In this way, in just three days, Dashu's life yuan is no longer enough.
Qiangwei seemed to see that there was something wrong with Dashu, she gave Dashu a hard look, then grabbed Dashu's arm, stared at Shouyuan Yuhuan, then glared at Dashu angrily, and said, "You are playing Come back to play, don't lose your own life, mother is only your son, and you depend on each other for life, if you die, what will mother do?"
"mother!"
Dashu was a little sullen, raised his head, and said, "I will be careful in the future."
"Ugh……"
Qiangwei had no choice but to stick her longevity jade ring on top of the big tree's longevity jade ring, and gave the tree an hour of longevity to pass, then looked at her own longevity jade ring again, and said silently With a mantra, another hour of lifespan was transferred to Dashu.
When the mother and son bid farewell, Dashu ran out of the house first, Qiangwei closed the door and went out, looked at the longevity jade ring on her arm, and thought to herself: "The longevity of these few hours can just make me live until Tonight when I receive my life yuan in the Great Hall of Time."
As for the old hen, Qiangwei had already bought it.
It takes half an hour's lifespan to buy an old hen.
But Qiangwei didn't regret it, her mother's brilliance made her willing to give everything for Er Zi, as long as it was for her son, no matter what it was, she was willing to do it, even if it was death, she was not afraid.
The smartest job in the world is motherhood.
The most stupid profession in the world is also a mother.
The wisdom of a mother lies in the fact that a mother can take care of her children in every possible way.The stupidity of mothers is that when mothers think about their children, they often forget themselves...
Everything is for the children.
Qiangwei is working in the elixir garden.
The distance between the elixir garden and the city is farther than the distance between the mine and the city.
It takes two to ten minutes of life from the mine to the city by car, and three to ten minutes of life from the elixir garden to the city.
It takes half an hour to run from the mine to the city, and a little more than half an hour to run from the elixir garden to the city, about ten minutes more.
And the work time of the elixir garden is nearly an hour earlier than that of the mine, mainly because the weather is unpredictable, sometimes it will thunder and rain, once it is thundery and rainy, a lot of work in the elixir garden will be postponed , or can't do it, women who go to work in the elixir garden need to arrange another job, so they have to go to work earlier.
If the weather is normal and there are no other arrangements, the ordinary people who work in the elixir garden will be able to get off work and go home after sitting for four hours.
Dashu went out before Qiangwei, so he naturally wanted to warm up with the woman he was in love with in the city. After warming up, he ran all the way outside the city, sat in the carriage, and entered Wanruo. Among the ants-like crowd.
A heavy day of work has begun again.
Dashu worked very hard that day, and seemed to remember that his mother would cook a pot of chicken soup for him in the evening.
After living for so long, Dashu has not even eaten chicken.
He doesn't even know what chickens and ducks look like.
It's just that sometimes when I listen to those workers bragging, I hear people say how delicious chicken is, how delicious it is.
In any case, the big tree has never been seen.
The weather was just right, the sun was shining brightly.
In March in Yangchun, the morning is very cold, and at noon, the sun shines straight down, but it is not comfortable at all. The sun is like the tip of a needle, piercing the human skin.Dashu was no longer the boy with the white face who just came back from the Great Hall of Endless Life, he was already tanned all over, like a black charcoal head.
His muscles bulged, showing explosive strength.
Daoist Duobao, Liu Yi and others naturally stood in the air.
Hu Tutu is so heartless and used to it, he has long been used to the life and death of ordinary people, and he is used to seeing ordinary people working hard for a little life, as tired as a dog, very miserable.Therefore, Hu Tutu has long been used to seeing Dashu working hard in the mine and exhausting himself to death.
If it was on weekdays, Hu Tutu would definitely be sleeping.
But today, Hu Tutu sat obediently in the air, staring at the big tree without blinking.
Hu Tutu knew that after this day, he would be in this enemy world for a whole year.
What can you do in a year?
Many practitioners can live for a long time, ranging from hundreds of years to thousands of years to 10 years. When they become gods one day, they can even live forever. One year is too short for a practitioner. Hu Tutu has also cultivated to become an immortal, and at least he has a lifespan of tens of thousands of years. Naturally, he doesn't take this year seriously.
However, for many mortals living in this world and lingering on their last legs, one year is often the light and shadow of a lifetime.
Dashu got off work in the mine, sat on the carriage, and returned to the city with a very happy mind.
Back in the city, he ran all the way home, shouting in his mouth: "Mother, I'm back!"
But when he entered the house, he didn't see his mother. He only saw a slaughtered old hen in a wooden basin in the kitchen. Dashu shook his head, thinking that his mother was in the Hall of Time. He received his life yuan, but he had not yet claimed his own thirteen-hour life yuan, so Dashu ran all the way, happily, like a pony having fun, and ran to the front of the Hall of Time, lined up. Inside the team, waiting for the distribution of longevity yuan.
Dashu stood on tiptoe and searched in the crowd, but he didn't find any trace of his mother.
It's just that Dashu didn't feel wrong either.
Because sometimes, the elixir garden will arrange other work, and it takes time to arrange work, so the elixir garden may end work later than the mine.Sometimes, even an hour later.
It is this one hour late, and I don't know how many women's lives will die!
Some people happen to only have a little time left in the Shouyuan Yuhuan, so that they can live to receive the Shouyuan in the Hall of Time, and if they are delayed for 10 minutes or even a few minutes, they will die of exhaustion of Shouyuan.
Thinking of this, Dashu's expression suddenly changed.
Even Liu Yi, who was standing in the air, changed slightly.
Just because this morning, Qiangwei had already given the big tree two hours of lifespan, and the lifespan in her hand was not much, which was just enough for her to return to the Hall of Time on a day with good weather, and line up to get ten. Three hours of longevity.
Not even 10 minutes late.
Thinking of this, Liu Yi couldn't help frowning.
However, when Liu Yi raised his head and looked at the sky, Liu Yi relaxed again, because the weather was just right and there was no cloud in the sky, and there would be no heavy rain within two or three hundred miles.
No rain means no delay.
Dashu also looked at the weather and knew that the weather was good today. He was not in a hurry, thinking that his mother had returned home a long time ago, and maybe he was going to buy other food now. After all, it was his birthday, and it was the first time in his life. A birthday needs to be celebrated.
After all, in Dashu's impression, many people who lived beside him didn't even live a full year in their lifetime.
His big tree can live safely from last year to today, it should be something worth celebrating.
When Dashu returned home, he couldn't see his mother, so he felt a little disappointed.
"Mom must have gone to buy delicious food."
Dashu thought in his heart, and suddenly remembered that his mother had lived a very tiring life this past year, and had to worry about him all the time. Her face, which was originally in her twenties, was already a little wrinkled. I saw that one day my mother secretly collected some leaves and ate them.
For giving birth to a child, one month's lifespan would be rewarded, but Qiangwei's one month's lifespan was spent on Dashu.
The most expansive thing in this world is neither the earth nor the sky.
The most expansive thing is not the endless void.
Even the boundless chaos is not the most expansive.
Only...the mother's bosom.
After Qiangwei had worked tens of thousands in the Spiritual Medicine Garden, she went down the mountain with everyone, and came to the place where the carriage was parked at the bottom of the mountain, almost trotting all the way.If they go too late, those carriages will leave early, and they will not even be able to catch up with the last carriage, so they will have to walk home.
go?
Few people will really leave, unless they don't want to live anymore.
Almost everyone, once they miss the carriage, will run all the way.
Sometimes running wildly will not be able to catch up with the distribution of life yuan. Once the life yuan is exhausted before entering the hall of time to receive the life yuan, it will undoubtedly die.
Qiangwei had seen it with her own eyes when she took the last carriage ride before. Some people lacked the lifespan for the carriage, so they had to run wildly all the way, but in the end they didn’t have enough lifespan and died on the way!
It takes three ten minutes of longevity to make a carriage ride.
Running all the way back, it took more than half an hour, that is, more than six ten minutes.
If you can't even get three ten minutes of life yuan, how can you live six ten minutes?
This matter is an unresolved topic.
Qiangwei trotted all the way, and came to the place where the carriage was taken, only to find some people were kneeling and sitting on the ground, crying out in mournful voices.
For some people, both mother and daughter work in the elixir garden.
Then, Qiangwei heard that one of the mothers was holding her daughter's arm, desperately wanting to give her life yuan to her daughter, and said, "Daughter, take the car and leave quickly, and leave me alone."
Unable to help the daughter struggle, the mother transferred her Shouyuan to the daughter, then tilted her body, Shouyuan approached and died, and lay down beside the carriage.
Immediately, a catcher came over quickly, took off the longevity jade ring on the dead man's arm, and dragged the corpse away. Naturally, these corpses were used to feed the spirit beasts, which was more or less useful.
Seeing this picture, Qiangwei's heart skipped a beat!
Finished!
Finished!
Qiangwei looked dull, looking at those carriages in disbelief.
A thought appeared in Qiangwei's mind.
In her memory, that is, last year, she had the impression that the price of carriages had increased!
At that time, the price of the carriage rose from 25 minutes of longevity to 10 minutes.
And this time...
"How many life yuan do I need to go back to the city?"
Qiangwei ran to the door of the carriage and asked loudly.
Someone in the carriage replied, "Four 10 minutes!"
Another person said: "I heard from the policeman that not only the price of the carriage has increased, but our wages have also increased. The wages have increased by half an hour every day. In this way, we have earned 10 minutes instead, like this If you can save 10 minutes a day, your life will be easier.”
However, this remark was immediately refuted, saying: "Nonsense, I heard people say that as long as the price of the car increases, the price of everything will immediately increase. The price of food will definitely increase. In the end, it is not the same , it’s just that the numbers have gotten bigger, everything else hasn’t changed, it’s the same. I’m dead, I’m alive, I don’t know how long I can live.”
The carriage is big and long.
A carriage, pulled by four spirit beasts, can run like lightning, and can accommodate nearly a hundred ordinary people sitting in it. Although it is a bit crowded, like chickens and ducks crowded in a cage, the speed of the gallop is really fast. slow.
Four 10 minutes!
Qiangwei's expression changed drastically, she looked down at her Shouyuan Yuhuan, her eyes lit up, she still had more than 50 minutes of Shouyuan remaining.
an hour!
After giving four 10 minutes to make the fare, there are still two 10 minutes.
It takes more than ten minutes for the carriage to reach the city.
In this way, wouldn't he be about to die in the car?
Ten minutes later, the carriage happened to be still halfway.
Time is running out!
It's not just time.
Qiangwei even felt that she was going to die in the next moment.
She didn't have time to talk to the people in the carriage, so she ran away!
She didn't have a daughter by her side, so naturally she couldn't give her lifespan to her.
She has only one son...
It takes about an hour to run wildly all the way from the elixir garden to the city.
Qiangwei suddenly became blindly confident, and even believed that she could run all the way and rush back to the city within an hour.
She knew her son very well, and she knew that if he didn't see her coming home, he would definitely come back to find her.Moreover, as long as someone in the elixir garden returns to the city, the news of the price increase of the carriage will definitely spread, so that his son will also know...
I'm afraid that Dashu will go to find the woman he likes again, and the two of them will gossip together, and forget her as a mother in the end.
Where the carriage stopped, many people died one by one.
These people, like Qiangwei, did not have enough lifespan to survive on the carriage, so they gave their own lifespan to their daughters.It's just that although there are many dead people, the corpses will disappear immediately. The place where the carriage stops below the elixir garden is still full of singing and dancing.
No one would give their lifespan to an irrelevant person.
Women whose mothers died would cry twice on the carriage, and then the police whips would slap, which frightened these women not to shout loudly, but to wipe their tears silently, sob silently, and Tasting the bitter taste of tears.
Qiangwei ran all the way.
clap clap clap!
Thinking of her tattered shoes, snapping on the road.
This kind of shoes are very cheap, they don't cost much money at all, Qiangwei picked some weeds on the side of the road and wove them by herself. They are very light, but not wear-resistant.
In just ten minutes of running, the shoes have already been worn out.
Qiangwei was gasping for breath. As a weak woman, she didn't have the strength to run for dozens of miles, but she wanted to forcibly survive.
Between the speed of life and death, Qiangwei was still thinking in her heart that when stewing the chicken, she must add a little more salt. Only when the taste of salt is enough, the chicken soup will be sweeter and more delicious.
She gasped for breath.
Bean-sized sweat slipped from Qiangwei's forehead.
His chest and back were drenched with sweat.
Qiangwei's mouth and tongue were dry, her lips were already blue-purple, and there were even some cracks.
Liu Yi had already galloped here with Taoist Duobao and others, followed behind Qiangwei, staring at Qiangwei and running wildly all the way.
A formula was cast from Liu Yi's hands.
Yufeng Jue!
Liu Yi wanted to use this formula to make Qiangwei run faster, so that she could return to the city early.
Ding!
Daoist Duobao flicked his sleeves, and a stream of water light appeared from his fingertips, blocking Liu Yi's Wind Control Art.
"Master Uncle! Don't act rashly!"
Daoist Duobao shook his head and said: "This is a local world. If we affect the life and death of these ordinary people, I am afraid that people will notice it, and we will be careful when sailing for ten thousand years! Besides, in this world, ordinary people are so rare. There are so many people who have been oppressed, who have died and their souls have been exhausted. I don’t know how many billions or hundreds of billions of them have been saved. How can we save them all. If we do such small acts of kindness and compassion, we will lose the big for the small! "
Liu Yi shook his head, gritted his teeth, and said no more.
Hu Tutu shouted: "Taoist Duobao! You cold-blooded and heartless waste!"
Daoist Duobao didn't refute, but actually closed his eyes, and just waved his sleeves, a stream of water light appeared under the sleeves, transforming into a water mirror technique.
A mirror, suspended among the crowd.
In the water mirror, a figure appeared, which was the big tree.
Although Taoist Duobao is dozens of miles away, as a Taoist, if he wants to observe the whereabouts of the big tree, it is a breeze.
Below, Qiangwei ran all the way.
During the water mirror technique, some women who had descended from the elixir garden to make a carriage returned to the city.
Some women whimpered, cried and shouted, and ran down from the carriage.
As soon as Dashu heard the cries of these women, his expression changed drastically, and he ran over to ask for a question, only to find out that the price of the carriage in the Spirit Medicine Garden had actually increased today!
Four 10 minutes!
From three 10 minutes to four 10 minutes!
Dashu remembered that this morning, when he and his mother parted, his mother had given him two hours of lifespan, but there was not much lifespan remaining on his mother's own lifespan jade ring.
"mother!"
The big tree shouted, and ran towards the outside of the city.
As he was running, he looked down at the balance of life essence on his arm, and at the same time firmly grasped a peony flower in his hand.
He bought this peony flower on purpose, it is very bright red, and it is to give to his mother, because the Chinese character for peony flower and mother's mother character have the same pronunciation, so it can be regarded as a good contribution. Filial piety.
Dashu also knew that he had earned wages today.
Dashu was willing to buy peonies precisely because of the increased wages, but he didn't know that although the fare from the mine to the city hadn't increased, the fare from the elixir garden to the city had increased by 10 minutes at first.
10 minutes is enough to kill someone!
Dashu was covered in cold sweat as he ran wildly all the way.
From the elixir garden to the city, it is dozens of miles long!
Dashu can't control that much, he doesn't think too much, the only thing he thinks about is his mother.
"Mom! Don't worry about it, don't worry about it!"
The big tree ran away, and a cloud of smoke and soil rolled up under its feet.
Fortunately, he worked as a coolie in the mine on weekdays, and he had some strength in his body. When he ran wildly, he was not slow.
Along the road, all the way speeding.
One after another, the carriages galloped past the big tree, but the big tree turned a blind eye and just ran forward with its head buried.
Standing high in the sky, Liu Yi looked down, and could see Qiangwei running towards the city, and when he looked up, he could see the big tree running towards the elixir garden in the water mirror technique.
Mother and child, running face to face, getting closer.
The remaining longevity in the longevity jade ring on Qiangwei's arm is getting less and less.
10 minutes!
9 minutes!
8 minutes!
7 minutes!
……
1 minutes!
"Big tree! Big tree!"
Qiangwei was drenched in sweat, her body was already very weak, her eyes were so painful that she couldn't open her eyes, she couldn't even cry out very faintly, but her legs were running hard, moving forward vigorously.
"mother!"
Finally, a familiar voice appeared in Qiangwei's ears.
She swung her arms vigorously, wiped the sweat from her eyes, and looked forward, just in time to see a figure running towards him, it was her son Dashu...
The two met for hundreds of meters!
However, the balance of life yuan remaining in Qiangwei Shouyuan Yuhuan is not much, only tens of seconds!
The two can see each other, but the mother and son seem to be separated from each other!
[Author's Digression]: A large chapter of 2 words, without chapters, can be counted as at least [-] chapters.
When writing this chapter, the bastard author couldn't control his emotions at all, and couldn't control his tears...
I, a bastard author, actually wrote myself crying, everyone forgive me.
Sure enough, it was a joke sent by the monkey.
Dashu dragged his exhausted body and went to work in the mine again. He only worked all night, and he was obviously lacking in strength. If it weren't for the police who saw that he was still working hard on weekdays and gave him some face, he might have already beaten him. Got to roll all over the floor.But even so, the policeman also exploited the longevity of the big tree for an hour. In exchange, today he will not hit this lazy and inactive big tree for the time being.
After work, Dashu returned home in a carriage.
The carriage is pulled by spirit beasts, and it takes 10 minutes of lifespan to sit on it.If you don’t have the fare money, then I’m sorry, I can only walk back to the city. Although the Hall of Time in the city is open all year round, you can go to collect longevity yuan from morning to night, but if you don’t take a car, you can go back to the city. Ordinary people rely on one pair of feet to walk, even if they run wildly all the way, it will take half an hour to return to the city.
Returning to the city was late, so naturally I didn't have a good rest.
I didn't have the energy to go to work the next day. If I didn't bribe the police, I would be beaten again.
Such a vicious circle is not far from death.
Dashu gave him 10 minutes of life, and when he got home by car, his mother Qiangwei asked him where he was last night. Dashu blushed, embarrassed to say it, but his mother just nodded silently. Naturally, you can guess what the countdown is doing.
Many things, everything goes without saying.
When the spring is warm and the flowers are blooming, it is almost the birthday of Dashu.
Dashu is naturally a rough-headed person, so he will inevitably forget his date of birth, but his mother Qiangwei has not forgotten, and even agreed with Dashu to buy a hen and mend it for Dashu. It's a birthday celebration.
Dashu agreed wholeheartedly, but the life essence in his hand was no longer enough.
This morning, before going to work, Dashu looked very sad, because he only had a few hours of life on his arm.If calculated according to the time he worked before, it was exactly one hour before he could return to the Hall of Time to receive his life yuan.
If this hour is short, there is no doubt that he will die!
Originally, with the longevity of the big tree of thirteen hours a day, it was just enough for him to survive.
But Dashu has found a woman, and sometimes he will be listless, so he will inevitably bribe the police. In this way, in just three days, Dashu's life yuan is no longer enough.
Qiangwei seemed to see that there was something wrong with Dashu, she gave Dashu a hard look, then grabbed Dashu's arm, stared at Shouyuan Yuhuan, then glared at Dashu angrily, and said, "You are playing Come back to play, don't lose your own life, mother is only your son, and you depend on each other for life, if you die, what will mother do?"
"mother!"
Dashu was a little sullen, raised his head, and said, "I will be careful in the future."
"Ugh……"
Qiangwei had no choice but to stick her longevity jade ring on top of the big tree's longevity jade ring, and gave the tree an hour of longevity to pass, then looked at her own longevity jade ring again, and said silently With a mantra, another hour of lifespan was transferred to Dashu.
When the mother and son bid farewell, Dashu ran out of the house first, Qiangwei closed the door and went out, looked at the longevity jade ring on her arm, and thought to herself: "The longevity of these few hours can just make me live until Tonight when I receive my life yuan in the Great Hall of Time."
As for the old hen, Qiangwei had already bought it.
It takes half an hour's lifespan to buy an old hen.
But Qiangwei didn't regret it, her mother's brilliance made her willing to give everything for Er Zi, as long as it was for her son, no matter what it was, she was willing to do it, even if it was death, she was not afraid.
The smartest job in the world is motherhood.
The most stupid profession in the world is also a mother.
The wisdom of a mother lies in the fact that a mother can take care of her children in every possible way.The stupidity of mothers is that when mothers think about their children, they often forget themselves...
Everything is for the children.
Qiangwei is working in the elixir garden.
The distance between the elixir garden and the city is farther than the distance between the mine and the city.
It takes two to ten minutes of life from the mine to the city by car, and three to ten minutes of life from the elixir garden to the city.
It takes half an hour to run from the mine to the city, and a little more than half an hour to run from the elixir garden to the city, about ten minutes more.
And the work time of the elixir garden is nearly an hour earlier than that of the mine, mainly because the weather is unpredictable, sometimes it will thunder and rain, once it is thundery and rainy, a lot of work in the elixir garden will be postponed , or can't do it, women who go to work in the elixir garden need to arrange another job, so they have to go to work earlier.
If the weather is normal and there are no other arrangements, the ordinary people who work in the elixir garden will be able to get off work and go home after sitting for four hours.
Dashu went out before Qiangwei, so he naturally wanted to warm up with the woman he was in love with in the city. After warming up, he ran all the way outside the city, sat in the carriage, and entered Wanruo. Among the ants-like crowd.
A heavy day of work has begun again.
Dashu worked very hard that day, and seemed to remember that his mother would cook a pot of chicken soup for him in the evening.
After living for so long, Dashu has not even eaten chicken.
He doesn't even know what chickens and ducks look like.
It's just that sometimes when I listen to those workers bragging, I hear people say how delicious chicken is, how delicious it is.
In any case, the big tree has never been seen.
The weather was just right, the sun was shining brightly.
In March in Yangchun, the morning is very cold, and at noon, the sun shines straight down, but it is not comfortable at all. The sun is like the tip of a needle, piercing the human skin.Dashu was no longer the boy with the white face who just came back from the Great Hall of Endless Life, he was already tanned all over, like a black charcoal head.
His muscles bulged, showing explosive strength.
Daoist Duobao, Liu Yi and others naturally stood in the air.
Hu Tutu is so heartless and used to it, he has long been used to the life and death of ordinary people, and he is used to seeing ordinary people working hard for a little life, as tired as a dog, very miserable.Therefore, Hu Tutu has long been used to seeing Dashu working hard in the mine and exhausting himself to death.
If it was on weekdays, Hu Tutu would definitely be sleeping.
But today, Hu Tutu sat obediently in the air, staring at the big tree without blinking.
Hu Tutu knew that after this day, he would be in this enemy world for a whole year.
What can you do in a year?
Many practitioners can live for a long time, ranging from hundreds of years to thousands of years to 10 years. When they become gods one day, they can even live forever. One year is too short for a practitioner. Hu Tutu has also cultivated to become an immortal, and at least he has a lifespan of tens of thousands of years. Naturally, he doesn't take this year seriously.
However, for many mortals living in this world and lingering on their last legs, one year is often the light and shadow of a lifetime.
Dashu got off work in the mine, sat on the carriage, and returned to the city with a very happy mind.
Back in the city, he ran all the way home, shouting in his mouth: "Mother, I'm back!"
But when he entered the house, he didn't see his mother. He only saw a slaughtered old hen in a wooden basin in the kitchen. Dashu shook his head, thinking that his mother was in the Hall of Time. He received his life yuan, but he had not yet claimed his own thirteen-hour life yuan, so Dashu ran all the way, happily, like a pony having fun, and ran to the front of the Hall of Time, lined up. Inside the team, waiting for the distribution of longevity yuan.
Dashu stood on tiptoe and searched in the crowd, but he didn't find any trace of his mother.
It's just that Dashu didn't feel wrong either.
Because sometimes, the elixir garden will arrange other work, and it takes time to arrange work, so the elixir garden may end work later than the mine.Sometimes, even an hour later.
It is this one hour late, and I don't know how many women's lives will die!
Some people happen to only have a little time left in the Shouyuan Yuhuan, so that they can live to receive the Shouyuan in the Hall of Time, and if they are delayed for 10 minutes or even a few minutes, they will die of exhaustion of Shouyuan.
Thinking of this, Dashu's expression suddenly changed.
Even Liu Yi, who was standing in the air, changed slightly.
Just because this morning, Qiangwei had already given the big tree two hours of lifespan, and the lifespan in her hand was not much, which was just enough for her to return to the Hall of Time on a day with good weather, and line up to get ten. Three hours of longevity.
Not even 10 minutes late.
Thinking of this, Liu Yi couldn't help frowning.
However, when Liu Yi raised his head and looked at the sky, Liu Yi relaxed again, because the weather was just right and there was no cloud in the sky, and there would be no heavy rain within two or three hundred miles.
No rain means no delay.
Dashu also looked at the weather and knew that the weather was good today. He was not in a hurry, thinking that his mother had returned home a long time ago, and maybe he was going to buy other food now. After all, it was his birthday, and it was the first time in his life. A birthday needs to be celebrated.
After all, in Dashu's impression, many people who lived beside him didn't even live a full year in their lifetime.
His big tree can live safely from last year to today, it should be something worth celebrating.
When Dashu returned home, he couldn't see his mother, so he felt a little disappointed.
"Mom must have gone to buy delicious food."
Dashu thought in his heart, and suddenly remembered that his mother had lived a very tiring life this past year, and had to worry about him all the time. Her face, which was originally in her twenties, was already a little wrinkled. I saw that one day my mother secretly collected some leaves and ate them.
For giving birth to a child, one month's lifespan would be rewarded, but Qiangwei's one month's lifespan was spent on Dashu.
The most expansive thing in this world is neither the earth nor the sky.
The most expansive thing is not the endless void.
Even the boundless chaos is not the most expansive.
Only...the mother's bosom.
After Qiangwei had worked tens of thousands in the Spiritual Medicine Garden, she went down the mountain with everyone, and came to the place where the carriage was parked at the bottom of the mountain, almost trotting all the way.If they go too late, those carriages will leave early, and they will not even be able to catch up with the last carriage, so they will have to walk home.
go?
Few people will really leave, unless they don't want to live anymore.
Almost everyone, once they miss the carriage, will run all the way.
Sometimes running wildly will not be able to catch up with the distribution of life yuan. Once the life yuan is exhausted before entering the hall of time to receive the life yuan, it will undoubtedly die.
Qiangwei had seen it with her own eyes when she took the last carriage ride before. Some people lacked the lifespan for the carriage, so they had to run wildly all the way, but in the end they didn’t have enough lifespan and died on the way!
It takes three ten minutes of longevity to make a carriage ride.
Running all the way back, it took more than half an hour, that is, more than six ten minutes.
If you can't even get three ten minutes of life yuan, how can you live six ten minutes?
This matter is an unresolved topic.
Qiangwei trotted all the way, and came to the place where the carriage was taken, only to find some people were kneeling and sitting on the ground, crying out in mournful voices.
For some people, both mother and daughter work in the elixir garden.
Then, Qiangwei heard that one of the mothers was holding her daughter's arm, desperately wanting to give her life yuan to her daughter, and said, "Daughter, take the car and leave quickly, and leave me alone."
Unable to help the daughter struggle, the mother transferred her Shouyuan to the daughter, then tilted her body, Shouyuan approached and died, and lay down beside the carriage.
Immediately, a catcher came over quickly, took off the longevity jade ring on the dead man's arm, and dragged the corpse away. Naturally, these corpses were used to feed the spirit beasts, which was more or less useful.
Seeing this picture, Qiangwei's heart skipped a beat!
Finished!
Finished!
Qiangwei looked dull, looking at those carriages in disbelief.
A thought appeared in Qiangwei's mind.
In her memory, that is, last year, she had the impression that the price of carriages had increased!
At that time, the price of the carriage rose from 25 minutes of longevity to 10 minutes.
And this time...
"How many life yuan do I need to go back to the city?"
Qiangwei ran to the door of the carriage and asked loudly.
Someone in the carriage replied, "Four 10 minutes!"
Another person said: "I heard from the policeman that not only the price of the carriage has increased, but our wages have also increased. The wages have increased by half an hour every day. In this way, we have earned 10 minutes instead, like this If you can save 10 minutes a day, your life will be easier.”
However, this remark was immediately refuted, saying: "Nonsense, I heard people say that as long as the price of the car increases, the price of everything will immediately increase. The price of food will definitely increase. In the end, it is not the same , it’s just that the numbers have gotten bigger, everything else hasn’t changed, it’s the same. I’m dead, I’m alive, I don’t know how long I can live.”
The carriage is big and long.
A carriage, pulled by four spirit beasts, can run like lightning, and can accommodate nearly a hundred ordinary people sitting in it. Although it is a bit crowded, like chickens and ducks crowded in a cage, the speed of the gallop is really fast. slow.
Four 10 minutes!
Qiangwei's expression changed drastically, she looked down at her Shouyuan Yuhuan, her eyes lit up, she still had more than 50 minutes of Shouyuan remaining.
an hour!
After giving four 10 minutes to make the fare, there are still two 10 minutes.
It takes more than ten minutes for the carriage to reach the city.
In this way, wouldn't he be about to die in the car?
Ten minutes later, the carriage happened to be still halfway.
Time is running out!
It's not just time.
Qiangwei even felt that she was going to die in the next moment.
She didn't have time to talk to the people in the carriage, so she ran away!
She didn't have a daughter by her side, so naturally she couldn't give her lifespan to her.
She has only one son...
It takes about an hour to run wildly all the way from the elixir garden to the city.
Qiangwei suddenly became blindly confident, and even believed that she could run all the way and rush back to the city within an hour.
She knew her son very well, and she knew that if he didn't see her coming home, he would definitely come back to find her.Moreover, as long as someone in the elixir garden returns to the city, the news of the price increase of the carriage will definitely spread, so that his son will also know...
I'm afraid that Dashu will go to find the woman he likes again, and the two of them will gossip together, and forget her as a mother in the end.
Where the carriage stopped, many people died one by one.
These people, like Qiangwei, did not have enough lifespan to survive on the carriage, so they gave their own lifespan to their daughters.It's just that although there are many dead people, the corpses will disappear immediately. The place where the carriage stops below the elixir garden is still full of singing and dancing.
No one would give their lifespan to an irrelevant person.
Women whose mothers died would cry twice on the carriage, and then the police whips would slap, which frightened these women not to shout loudly, but to wipe their tears silently, sob silently, and Tasting the bitter taste of tears.
Qiangwei ran all the way.
clap clap clap!
Thinking of her tattered shoes, snapping on the road.
This kind of shoes are very cheap, they don't cost much money at all, Qiangwei picked some weeds on the side of the road and wove them by herself. They are very light, but not wear-resistant.
In just ten minutes of running, the shoes have already been worn out.
Qiangwei was gasping for breath. As a weak woman, she didn't have the strength to run for dozens of miles, but she wanted to forcibly survive.
Between the speed of life and death, Qiangwei was still thinking in her heart that when stewing the chicken, she must add a little more salt. Only when the taste of salt is enough, the chicken soup will be sweeter and more delicious.
She gasped for breath.
Bean-sized sweat slipped from Qiangwei's forehead.
His chest and back were drenched with sweat.
Qiangwei's mouth and tongue were dry, her lips were already blue-purple, and there were even some cracks.
Liu Yi had already galloped here with Taoist Duobao and others, followed behind Qiangwei, staring at Qiangwei and running wildly all the way.
A formula was cast from Liu Yi's hands.
Yufeng Jue!
Liu Yi wanted to use this formula to make Qiangwei run faster, so that she could return to the city early.
Ding!
Daoist Duobao flicked his sleeves, and a stream of water light appeared from his fingertips, blocking Liu Yi's Wind Control Art.
"Master Uncle! Don't act rashly!"
Daoist Duobao shook his head and said: "This is a local world. If we affect the life and death of these ordinary people, I am afraid that people will notice it, and we will be careful when sailing for ten thousand years! Besides, in this world, ordinary people are so rare. There are so many people who have been oppressed, who have died and their souls have been exhausted. I don’t know how many billions or hundreds of billions of them have been saved. How can we save them all. If we do such small acts of kindness and compassion, we will lose the big for the small! "
Liu Yi shook his head, gritted his teeth, and said no more.
Hu Tutu shouted: "Taoist Duobao! You cold-blooded and heartless waste!"
Daoist Duobao didn't refute, but actually closed his eyes, and just waved his sleeves, a stream of water light appeared under the sleeves, transforming into a water mirror technique.
A mirror, suspended among the crowd.
In the water mirror, a figure appeared, which was the big tree.
Although Taoist Duobao is dozens of miles away, as a Taoist, if he wants to observe the whereabouts of the big tree, it is a breeze.
Below, Qiangwei ran all the way.
During the water mirror technique, some women who had descended from the elixir garden to make a carriage returned to the city.
Some women whimpered, cried and shouted, and ran down from the carriage.
As soon as Dashu heard the cries of these women, his expression changed drastically, and he ran over to ask for a question, only to find out that the price of the carriage in the Spirit Medicine Garden had actually increased today!
Four 10 minutes!
From three 10 minutes to four 10 minutes!
Dashu remembered that this morning, when he and his mother parted, his mother had given him two hours of lifespan, but there was not much lifespan remaining on his mother's own lifespan jade ring.
"mother!"
The big tree shouted, and ran towards the outside of the city.
As he was running, he looked down at the balance of life essence on his arm, and at the same time firmly grasped a peony flower in his hand.
He bought this peony flower on purpose, it is very bright red, and it is to give to his mother, because the Chinese character for peony flower and mother's mother character have the same pronunciation, so it can be regarded as a good contribution. Filial piety.
Dashu also knew that he had earned wages today.
Dashu was willing to buy peonies precisely because of the increased wages, but he didn't know that although the fare from the mine to the city hadn't increased, the fare from the elixir garden to the city had increased by 10 minutes at first.
10 minutes is enough to kill someone!
Dashu was covered in cold sweat as he ran wildly all the way.
From the elixir garden to the city, it is dozens of miles long!
Dashu can't control that much, he doesn't think too much, the only thing he thinks about is his mother.
"Mom! Don't worry about it, don't worry about it!"
The big tree ran away, and a cloud of smoke and soil rolled up under its feet.
Fortunately, he worked as a coolie in the mine on weekdays, and he had some strength in his body. When he ran wildly, he was not slow.
Along the road, all the way speeding.
One after another, the carriages galloped past the big tree, but the big tree turned a blind eye and just ran forward with its head buried.
Standing high in the sky, Liu Yi looked down, and could see Qiangwei running towards the city, and when he looked up, he could see the big tree running towards the elixir garden in the water mirror technique.
Mother and child, running face to face, getting closer.
The remaining longevity in the longevity jade ring on Qiangwei's arm is getting less and less.
10 minutes!
9 minutes!
8 minutes!
7 minutes!
……
1 minutes!
"Big tree! Big tree!"
Qiangwei was drenched in sweat, her body was already very weak, her eyes were so painful that she couldn't open her eyes, she couldn't even cry out very faintly, but her legs were running hard, moving forward vigorously.
"mother!"
Finally, a familiar voice appeared in Qiangwei's ears.
She swung her arms vigorously, wiped the sweat from her eyes, and looked forward, just in time to see a figure running towards him, it was her son Dashu...
The two met for hundreds of meters!
However, the balance of life yuan remaining in Qiangwei Shouyuan Yuhuan is not much, only tens of seconds!
The two can see each other, but the mother and son seem to be separated from each other!
