Chapter 903: Crazy but Not Crazy
Li Changxiao arrived at the ferry and took a boat to leave Lingtian. Fortunately, most of the people he saw along the way were normal. Although patients with strange diseases could be seen from time to time, the order of the whole world could still be maintained.
This ferry is called "Wan Chong Ferry". The river water is turbid and there are more than 10,000 whirlpools in the river. It requires the boatman to have superb steering skills to cross safely. Although it is dangerous, it hardly affects Li Changxiao.
Li Changxiao walked alone for seventy or eighty miles. He felt that this was too slow, so he flew away on his sword. As he ascended into the air, his vision gradually expanded, and everything became smaller. The high mountains were just small bumps, and the pedestrians coming and going, scattered everywhere, were just small black dots.
Fuyao is a big world. Even if you fly with a sword, it will take a long time to reach the end. But it is now about one tenth or one twelfth smaller than before. The wind blew past him. Li Changxiao was wearing a loose robe. When the wind blew, it bulged and whistled. Li Changxiao held the cuffs and sat cross-legged to prevent the wind from blowing into his clothes.
After flying for three or two hours, the sky gradually darkened. The setting sun went west. The afterglow spread all over the world, and everything was covered with a golden hue. It was a beautiful sight. The setting sun was retreating very quickly, but Li Changxiao also headed west. In a trance, he watched the setting sun for several hours.
Wanxian City was as lively as ever. Li Changxiao dismounted his flying sword about 70 to 80 miles outside the city, landed on the post road outside the city, and walked along the road. Wanxian City was prosperous, and there were many villages and towns distributed within a hundred miles outside the city.
It was noon when Li Changxiao landed. Although the sun was blazing, there were still many pedestrians. The farmer was carrying freshly harvested vegetables to sell in the city. Li Changxiao was bored, so he just picked a man and started chatting with him. He mostly asked about how many sons he had in his family, whether his wife was fierce, etc.
After a few visits, they naturally became familiar with each other. Li Changxiao then asked if there were any strange things happening in the village recently. If there were any strange diseases. This question immediately made the man feel uneasy. Needless to say, there was indeed a strange thing happening in their village.
The man told Li Changxiao that their village was originally "Liujia Village" and every household had the surname Liu. The villagers were quite united and helped each other on weekdays. They were not rich, but they were self-sufficient and happy. But two years ago, the village chief came back with a limp after planting crops. The villagers just thought he fell somewhere and didn't pay much attention to it. But later, the village chief went out again and a red and black blister grew on the sole of his right foot.
When the blister was poked, sticky pus would flow out, but it would grow back again within one night. No matter where the miracle doctor was, it was useless. The villagers really couldn't understand it. One day, the village chief suddenly screamed strangely and chopped off his right leg with an axe. I thought it would heal.
But... after the right foot was broken, the skin bubble would not go away and grew on the left foot again. The village chief went completely crazy after this incident.
When the man talked about this incident, he was still frightened at first, but then he became more and more excited, and later he seemed to be gloating over the incident, laughing "hehe" and "haha" from time to time.
Li Changxiao noticed that he walked in a strange way, and his right foot was always weak when he stepped on the ground, as if he was lame. So he reminded him. The man frowned and cursed: "What bad luck! How unlucky! You are joking like this. You were born by a mother but not raised by her. Your ancestors' graves will be dug up! Your ancestors' graves will be dug up!" He chased Li Changxiao and cursed him all the way.
As he said this, he took off his shoes to prove it to Li Changxiao. But he saw that the soles of his feet were indeed covered with blisters. They were very similar to the initial symptoms of the village chief, and he was probably infected with the same disease. But the man was unaware of the disease and just thought it was an ordinary blisters.
……
Li Changxiao said to himself: "Now it seems that the strange disease has become normalized. Although it has not caused great unrest in the world, it is no longer a rare thing." He unconsciously quickened his pace.
At dusk, he entered the city. This prosperous Wanxian City was as lively as before, with doors open at night and lights dim. Li Changxiao walked to the riverside, with willows on both sides, and the scenery remained the same.
Suddenly, a shout was heard and a young man ran out of his home, cursing, "Crazy, crazy, my father is crazy, my mother is crazy, everyone come and see!"
Li Changxiao recognized the young man. He was the naughty child who had been playing tricks by the river when he visited Wanxian City last time. In the blink of an eye, Li Changxiao's appearance had not changed, but he had grown from a child to a young man, and he was quite handsome.
Then I heard his parents reply: "I think you are crazy, you bastard, you have been a bastard since you were young!" "You stinky boy, if you yell again, I will tear your mouth." "I raised him to such an age, but he is an ungrateful person. Oh, why is my life so miserable?"
There were waves of condemnation. But the young man looked pale and frightened. Li Changxiao was immediately surprised. The young man was full of vigor and vitality. Even if he met a ghost, he would shout three times and walk past with his head held high. This young man had been scolded by his parents, but he didn't show any weakness. Could it be that as he grew older, his courage had gone? Take a closer look.
Seeing the young man's parents, the father was wearing a red groom's robe, and the mother was wearing a red veil. Red candles were lit in the house. It was like a wedding night. Originally, everything was ordinary that night. But somehow, the family of three started talking about the wedding scene. The young man was the one who started the topic. He was just curious, and he had recently fallen in love with a girl from the next street, so he took this opportunity to test his parents' attitude. But his parents became more and more excited as they talked, and finally ignored their son. Finally, they searched through the boxes and took out the clothes that had been dusted for decades. They wanted to go back to the wedding night.
The young man thought the two were joking, but the more he looked at them, the more he felt that it was not real. Naturally, he was scared to death. He felt that his father and mother had changed, but he could not tell what they looked like or what had changed.
In extreme fear, he was at a loss and spoke without restraint. After he shouted "Mom and Dad are crazy", he regretted it in his heart and walked back to the house in anger.
The door was closed.
Li Changxiao saw someone blow out the candle in the room. He frowned and turned away. When a person's principles are distorted, the so-called moral ethics, principles, and cognition will naturally be distorted. Like crazy but not crazy.
