Chapter 39 Born to be ominous

The carriage moved along the official road, bumping occasionally.

A man, a woman, and Feng Bei were sitting on a carriage piled with straw, coming from the south and heading north.

The coachman yelled and cracked his whip, making a loud sound.

"Fengbei, we are almost there."

During the bumps, the gentle-looking woman gently patted "Zheng Xiu"'s little face.

Zheng Xiu was in a daze for a while.

Not only did "he" not hide, he also took the initiative to post it.

The man with a bold voice on the side laughed loudly: "I heard from the people in the town that there is a village ahead, called Baili Village. The villagers are warm and hospitable, cook meals with stars in the morning, and the folk customs are simple. The three of us in the Feng family will definitely find a corner in that remote village.

A place to stay.”

"Mom, Feng Bei is afraid."

"Zheng Xiu" came out with a childish voice.

This is... Fengbei's memory?

Zheng Xiu was stunned, what is going on now?

"Don't be afraid," the woman hugged Fengbei: "Do you know why mother named you Fengbei?"

"The child doesn't know."

"That's because we were born in the south, but now we are down and have to go north. But your father and I both hope that you, Fengbei, can grow into wild geese even if they fly south and north, without fear of the severe cold in the north.

Son."

"But Fengbei is still afraid."

"Your father is very good at swordsmanship. He is not afraid of wherever he goes."

The man laughed: "Hey, when you grow up, daddy will teach you a few tricks."

He was like a bystander, watching Feng Bei and the middle-aged couple sitting on the straw pile of the carriage, talking and laughing.

Since the war broke out in the north, the emperor had no intention of internal governance, and local officials in the south began to act recklessly, imposing excessive taxes and bandits. Many people found it difficult to make a living, so they began to migrate to the north one after another.

No one expected that this war would last for several years, and Daqian's country would be in depression. The middle-aged couple migrated from the south to the north, and lived in a town for half a year along the way, giving birth to Fengbei.

The Feng family moved northward, and Fengbei grew up day by day. He was three years old and was learning to speak.

The picture changes and time passes.

Fengbei's family settled in Baili Village. They opened a butcher shop. The men went up to the mountains to hunt, used skilled knife skills to separate tendons and remove bones, and traded raw meat with the villagers for food, thus making a living.

"Ahem... Feng Lang, yesterday Aunt Li next door said that there were traces of mountain bandits on the official road outside. Due to the disturbance by bandits, prey on the mountain has become increasingly scarce. Should we find another place to live? And during this period, Xiao Fengbei suffered from eye problems.

It’s getting worse day by day, cough cough cough… The doctors in the village are unable to treat it, so we should go to the town.”

"Feng Bei's eye disease is not serious for the time being, but you are infected with the cold. You need to go to the city to find a skilled doctor to treat you."

"Feng Lang, but we...cough cough cough."

"It doesn't matter, I will find a way, you can rest easy and recuperate."

The scene playing out in front of Zheng Xiu seemed to contain more than just Feng Bei's memory.

The memory fragments were not continuous, just like a flashback. In the blink of an eye, Zheng Xiu saw the man's back walking away with a bloody deer leg on his back.

It's a long way to go to the city, and it takes ten days for the man to go there.

During this period, bandits entered the village, and the village chief saw the Feng family. The man was not there, but the woman was handsome and plump. Knowing that the bandits were vicious and lustful, the village chief asked the woman and Feng Bei to hide among the reeds in the river.

Unexpectedly, bandits ate and drank in the village. They feasted for three days and emptied the village's grain reserves.

When the man came back from the city, he only brought back a small bag of medicine and was silent.

When I returned to the village, I saw the bandits. The man looked like a Rakshasa and swung his knife to kill all the bandits who invaded Baili Village.

Later, he chopped up the flesh and blood of all the bandits, threw them into the river, and destroyed the corpses.

The woman froze in the water for three days. The wind and cold became more severe and her high fever persisted.

One night, Fengbei heard his father talking to himself in the room.

"It's all their fault, it's all their fault, it's all their fault, it's all their fault..."

"It's all them. That deer leg is obviously worth ten taels of silver, but they say half a tael of silver, and they say half a tael of silver!"

"Hehe... don't blame me! Don't blame me!"

Feng Bei watched his father cry and laugh that night, vaguely knowing that his father was bullied in the city, accidentally killed someone, and was wanted throughout the city.

That night, Fengbei's right eye bled and she went blind. Her whole body was itchy and painful, but she didn't dare to tell her father.

Later, the dying woman smiled on the bed and said that the village was full of good people, kind and honest, and that her husband had killed many bandits. They would definitely come to trouble the villagers in the future. She also said that even though you put down the knife,

Don’t forget chivalry. Your three aunts, six aunts, and uncle Dou are all good people, so don’t let them go hungry.

The man held the woman's hand and choked with tears as he agreed.

"I, Feng Nantian, swear to God that I will repay them for taking me in! I won't let them go hungry, I won't let them go hungry..."

On this day, a man named Feng Nantian made a heavy promise.

Later, for some reason, nests of white carp appeared in the river to the east of the village, which grew up in a few days. The villagers caught them and made soup. The meat of the white carp was sweet and tasteless, and there was no meaty smell at all. The villagers sighed that God had a good life.

"Baili Village" was renamed "White Carp Village", hoping that the carp would grow for a long time so that they would not go hungry.

The woman survived for half a month and died without treatment. The village doctor sighed, it would be better if he had money to buy medicine.

Since the woman's death, Feng Nantian has been even more silent. He goes hunting in the mountains at sunrise and returns at sunset.

Feng Nantian later went out to find a lot of salt, embalmed the woman's body using ancient methods, and placed it in the dormitory.

Feng Bei was scared at first, but gradually got used to it.

Being with her mother's corpse, she vaguely felt that her mother was still alive and living here.

One day, Feng Bei woke up from hunger and found that his blind right eye could see clearly and his body no longer hurt.

But beside her, there was a pair of shed human skin.

The face made of human skin is hers.

Feng Bei panicked and ran into the mountains to look for his father.

When the man returned home, Fengbei did not return, so he silently picked up the sword and went into the mountain to find it.

A blink of an eye.

Zheng Xiu saw that Feng Bei's hands were covered with blood, and there were a lot of minced meat and vomit on the ground, as well as a few bunches of red rabbit fur.

Father Feng came and didn't say much about it. He only said:

"From now on, don't touch anything."

The young Feng Bei was in shock and asked in tears: "Daddy, can't daddy touch me too?"

The man shook his head and said in a cold tone: "No."

So Fengbei didn't dare to touch any living creature, except herself.

There was a strange pattern in her right eye. The children in the village laughed at Feng Bei: "Ugly! Ugly! There is an ugly monster in the Feng family!"

Later, for some unknown reason, the crops in the village could no longer be planted, the seedlings withered overnight, and the white carp no longer appeared in the river.

Some people in the village began to say that Feng Bei's eyes were the reincarnation of a disaster star, born with an ominous nature that would kill all his relatives and friends. They also said that her mother was also killed by Feng Bei.

Some people are doubtful.

Until one day.

The number of bandits on the official road was increasing day by day, and they discovered Baili Village again. The bandits poured into the village. When the man came back, the village was full of broken meat. Fengbei was holding himself in a pool of blood, shivering, and the villagers were far away.

Looking at it from a distance, there was fear in his eyes.

When Feng Bei saw her father, she wanted him to hug her, but her father pointed at her with the tip of a knife and said, "Don't touch me."

The man silently dumped the body parts into the river.

"That person named Feng is the reincarnation of the disaster star!"

"Don't get close to that baby from the Feng family, you're an evil sect!"

"It's really crazy!"

"The Feng family is really miserable. She gave birth to such an evil child, and her mother must have been killed by her."

"Don't tell me who will die if she touches her hands."

"Don't get close to that evil baby from the Feng family, it will kill someone!"

"You see, her name is unlucky."

"Northern, northern, northern, and northern barbarians are not good people. It's unlucky to be called 'North'."
