Wanbao Lady

Chapter 205 The Truth

Listening to the consolation from people around him, Wu Song not only did not relax, but broke into a cold sweat.

The old woman approached Wu Song anxiously, her face involuntarily moving closer.

With their minds lost, their eyes met in the dark.

"Ah! Mom, please don't look for me! I'm sorry, I had no choice!"

Wu Song sat down in horror, supporting himself with his hands and backing away repeatedly, not even caring about the cat's corpse that had fallen to the ground.

He put one sleeve in front of his face, trembling with fear, and kept muttering words like "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I can't help it, please forgive me and don't look for me."

This sudden change made everyone look at each other in confusion.

Luo Chengan's expression suddenly turned cold.

The man in front of me must be hiding something.

He looked at the cat corpse on the ground and the ghost of the old woman who was starving to death, and suddenly a terrible guess came to his mind.

In the square outside the land temple, Chongfan watched this scene quietly.

She shook her head and said to Luo Chengan, "The decision is up to you."

Should we uncover the truth? Or should we turn a blind eye and let things develop on their own?

Luo Cheng'an nodded in the direction of Chongfan, and then seemed to have made some kind of decision.

He just stomped his foot, and invisible divine power immediately spread throughout the land temple.

next moment.

Wu Song suddenly felt his ears become clear and the voices of people around him disappeared.

He put down his sleeves tremblingly and looked around. There was no one in the temple!

Not only was the man in black robe missing, but even the horse veterinarian beside him, and in fact everyone was missing!

The door behind him was also tightly closed. At this time, the only things in the temple that kept him company were the cat corpse and the statue of the god.

Wu Song was so shocked that he stood there in a daze.

At this moment, he saw divine light blooming from the six eyes of the tall six-eyed black mule statue in front of him. At the same time, a majestic voice came into his ears: "Were you asking me for help just now?"

Wu Song finally reacted.

The land god appeared?

He immediately got up, picked up the black cat's body on the ground again, and knelt down on the mat.

He said excitedly: "It's me, my name is Wu Song, I'm the land god I just asked for help!"

As he spoke, he recounted his previous experiences, including how he and his mother had a hard time escaping after the locust plague broke out, how he picked up the black cat, how he and the cat depended on each other, how the black cat used its psychic powers to help him survive, and so on.

It is so sad that anyone who hears it will cry.

However, the statue above just said "hmm" slowly, and then asked: "So, you and your mother were fleeing together, but she starved to death on the way, and then you set out on the road to escape alone, and then you were lucky enough to pick up this cat?"

Wu Song looked a little unnatural, but he still mustered up the courage to answer: "Yes!"

But the statue above heard a loud voice saying, "Are you hiding anything?"

The sound was like thunder, which shocked Wu Song and made his heart pound nervously.

He was about to say "nothing hidden" subconsciously, but then he changed his mind and realized that the person in front of him was a real god!

The older generation said that if you lie in front of the gods, you will be struck by lightning!

He didn't know whether he would be struck by lightning, but he would definitely offend the gods.

He hesitated for a moment.

He hesitated and talked about other things.

Seeing the other person's expression, Luo Cheng'an became more certain of what he was thinking.

The six eyes of the statue suddenly widened in anger, and it said in a cold voice: "You might as well confess the truth!"

Under the pressure, the people below broke out in cold sweat.

His expression changed for a while, and he gritted his teeth, as if he couldn't bear the pressure, or as if he wanted to vent the emotions that had been accumulating in his heart. His eyes were bloodshot, and he shouted:

"What have I done wrong!!! I was just trying to survive! I'm not wrong, yes, I'm not wrong!"

He looked dazed, and his memory seemed to have gone back to that day.

"I...I didn't want to do that either. I just wanted to survive...I just wanted to survive...I did nothing wrong..."

He knelt in front of the statue, hunched over, with his face covered with his hands. He kept saying that he was not wrong, but tears were streaming down his face.

"If you persist in your wrongdoings, you will only suffer more punishment in the underworld when you return. If you confess everything now, there may still be a chance to make amends."

Hearing the words of the statue, Wu Song immediately raised his head.

Xi Ji asked: "Really..."

But he then thought that this seemed like questioning the gods and was disrespectful to them, so he lowered his head in fear, feeling deep regret for his harsh words.

He was so emotional just now, would the gods be angry with him? Would they punish him?

Just as he was thinking this and feeling anxious, he heard the statue above him say, "If you believe it, it is true; if you don't believe it, it is false. Whether you believe it or not is up to your heart."

Hearing this, Wu Song fell silent.

Maybe it’s because there has never been anyone to talk to, maybe it’s because there is no interference or influence from others, maybe it’s because God said “there may be a chance to remedy the situation”.

After he thought it over, he told the whole truth of the matter.

It turned out that his mother didn't just starve to death.

Instead, she was abandoned by him and died on the way to escape.

When the locust plague came, he initially fled with his mother, but gradually, he found that his mother's blindness and inconvenient legs and feet inevitably slowed down his escape.

The food supply was decreasing day by day. All edible things were eaten by locusts. They even ate people!

But how can people walking on the ground escape from the locusts in the sky!

They headed eastward, originally thinking that they could just escape from this prefecture and go to the next one.

But the next prefecture was also hit by a disaster, and there were fleeing refugees everywhere.

When there are too many people, disputes are inevitable.

The only food they had left was taken away, which made the situation even worse.

On a hungry night, sitting at the foot of an unknown barren mountain eaten bare by locusts, he looked at his blind old mother who was drowsy due to hunger, and finally made up his mind.

He gathered his strength and carried his mother on his back, just like he had done when they fled before.

But this time he did not take his mother away from this land. Instead, he carried her to the barren mountains and stuffed her into a cave.

He discovered this cave by chance. It was just big enough to accommodate one person and had a certain degree of concealment.

Won't be discovered by those starving people.

"Son, where are you going?"

......

"I, I'm going to find something to eat and will be back in a while..."

But he never looked back.

Until he went to live with his uncle's family, his life returned to normal.

But in the dead of night, he was always awakened by nightmares.

The fear, regret, guilt, and pain that no one could tell were eating away at his heart like locusts.

He knew that he could never go back to the way things were before.

But looking at the blind black cat beside the bed, looking at its equally white eyes, and thinking about the company it has given me since I picked it up, this guilt seems to have a carrier.

From then on, the black cat became his new family member.
