Doomed Destiny - C65

The moment I started falling faster and faster from the 16th floor, the ground suddenly split open and a hole appeared. It was as if a mechanism was installed on the ground and someone had activated it in time.

I fell into the hole.

I had no idea how deep the hole was. I felt as if half an hour had passed, but my body was still falling. Looking up, it was pitch black. The light at the hole had long since disappeared.

There was no doubt that the cave was vertical. Because I fell all the way down without hitting anything. When a heavy object lands without wind resistance, the trail is a vertical straight line. But in conventional physics, it is impossible for an object to land in the air without wind resistance. The friction of air is wind resistance.

Strangely, since I fell into this hole, I have felt no wind resistance at all. As if I were still in a windless space. The reason I knew I was falling was that I could reach out and touch the wall of the cave, and the hard, smooth walls of the cave burned my hand.

The cave was pitch-black, and one couldn’t even see his fingers in front of him.

Slowly, I grew sleepy and fell asleep with my eyes closed.

He didn’t know how long he slept for.

When I opened my eyes, I suddenly felt a gust of wind coming from under my feet. It felt cold and dispelled a lot of my drowsiness.

After a while, I could feel the light in my eyes. He looked down and saw a white dot. As the white dot grew closer and closer, I realized that it was actually a hole. Soon, I was out of the cave, immersed in the cold wind. He could also see the golden rays of the sun, which were extremely dazzling.

His body was shivering from the cold. I knew at once that it was winter. And I’m in the air. Looking down, he saw that everything on the ground was so far away and so small. I swayed like a leaf in the strong gusts of wind. But at this time, I also did not violate the laws of physics. The falling speed became faster and faster. As the landscape drew closer, it grew larger in my eyes.

I thought, “If this goes on, I will fall to my death. “He fell to the ground and shattered his bones. He couldn’t even make a meat patty!”

Suddenly, I felt another, stronger wave. The frequency of the waves was rapid and rhythmic, coming from above, as if something were stirring. So I twisted hard and rolled over, shifting from a prone position to lying on my face, and saw a huge bird flying toward me from the sky.

Only when they got closer did they see that it was a person with wings. He didn’t know what to call her. Out of respect for human beings, it could not be called a “bird” or a “bird man”, it was more appropriate to call it a “flying person”. Looking at it, my mind suddenly recalled the Thunder Pulse Pearl from the “Divine Seal Decree”. The Thunder Pulse Pearl also had a pair of large wings.

Could this be the Thunder Pulse Pearl?

The Flyer, harmless and surprisingly fast, flew below me and held me up with a huge wing. The wings no longer flapped, but unfurled and stopped. He glided downwards.

“Thank you!” I was moved and shouted.

The thing did not make a sound. Arriving at the top of a wide river, when I was still twenty to thirty meters high, I flapped my wings, causing me to fall from it.

“Plop!” The impact created a wave. I fell into the river. The river was freezing cold. Not daring to hesitate, I swam towards the river bank. Something stirred in the depths of the river, because of the strange undercurrent. When they were about to reach the shore, they heard a splash behind them and couldn’t help but look back.

He saw a huge lion’s head poking out of the river. Its mane was a fiery red, its skin the color of indigo, and its pair of pitch-black eyes were as big as a copper bell. The two nostrils of his bull-nose were emitting red flames, causing the water around him to boil.

I was so scared that my body quivered. My feet stepped on the mud and I struggled to run forward. However, there was still quite a bit of resistance from the water on my chest. He threw himself forward and swam a few more times. His belly scraped the mud and he stood up again. The river was shallow to his knees. He kicked his feet and threw himself onto the riverbank. When he looked back, the ‘lion head’ had already disappeared. Only then did he feel at ease, sitting on the riverbank to catch his breath.

“Where is this place?” I stood up and looked around, puzzled.

The sun was in the south. To warm myself, I walked south, facing the sun.

After about an hour of walking, I arrived at a village.

The village looked backward. Many of the houses were made of mud. Many did not have courtyard walls or gates. Like in the seventies and eighties. Several villagers were sitting or lying on dry corn stalks in the sun. She saw me standing there, looking around in my wet clothes.

A middle-aged man who looked to be about forty-five years old and wore a sheepskin felt hat asked me loudly, “Who are you? Did he fall into the river in the middle of winter? Do you know if it’s cold? ”

I casually said: “Passing a bridge, accidentally fell into the river!”

“Who are you looking for in my village?” the man asked again.

I didn’t know how to answer.

Another middle-aged woman said, “This guy is so tall and his face is so handsome! Have you a wife? ”

As she said this, I thought of my deceased lover, Xu Xiaru. I couldn’t help but feel a sharp pain in my heart, and tears began to flow from my eyes.

The middle-aged man wearing a sheepskin hat complained, “Sister-in-law, what are you doing? Are you scaring me to tears?!”

The few of them slapped their thighs and laughed out loud.

I quickly reached out to wipe away my tears.

“Young man! What’s your name? ” someone asked me again.

I replied, “Jin Shile!”

“Hey!” His surname was Jin! San Geda has the same surname as you! ” the man who asked the name said to the middle-aged man with the sheepskin hat.

The middle-aged man wearing a sheepskin hat stood up from the corn stalks and walked over to me. He carefully examined me before suddenly pointing at me and asking, “Is your father called Jin Donghai?”

I nodded and said yes.

“Aiya! The East China Sea is my big brother! I am your Third Uncle! Aiya! The eldest son of my big brother, who has been missing for so many years, has returned! ” The middle-aged man wearing a sheepskin felt hat cried out in joy.

The other warm villagers rushed over and surrounded me. They looked left and right, sizing me up from head to toe. Their faces were filled with curiosity and their mouths were chattering. Just by looking at its appearance, it somewhat resembled Eastsea.

“How many years has he been missing? Fifteen years? ”

“More than fifteen years, eighteen years! The child disappeared when he was four! ”

“Young man, how old are you?” someone asked me.

I replied, “Twenty-two years old!”

“He disappeared when he was four years old. It’s been eighteen years, and he’s twenty-two years old. He’s the perfect age!”

The number of villagers who came to spectate increased as they discussed amongst themselves.

I was thinking, “So I came to my hometown! My father also did not tell me where my hometown came from. It’s such a coincidence that I accidentally bumped into him! ”

“Child, are you cold? Come home with me! ” The middle-aged man in the sheepskin felt hat grabbed me. I didn’t resist and followed him home.

His home was in a deep alley. The manor was very high up. However, the area of the manor was small. Entering the courtyard felt cramped and cramped. A few low, dusty rooms were full of people. There were also a few sheep and some chickens and ducks in the yard. They were covered with sheep dung and chicken and duck dung. The air was still filled with the smell of the sheep, mixed with the stench of chicken and duck dung, which was extremely unpleasant to the nose. I was not used to this kind of squalor and felt uncomfortable all over.

The middle aged man with the sheepskin felt hat on his head was called San Geda. His real name was Jin Guo Fa. He claims to be my Third Uncle. In any case, he’s older than me, so I’ll just call him Third Uncle. He called everyone out into the yard. First, he introduced me. “This is the eldest son of your grandpa Donghai, he’s been missing for eighteen years and he’s returned! His name is Jin Shile! ”

Then, he introduced those people to me one by one: “This is my eldest son, Jin Da Zhu, nicknamed Da Laozhu. Although he looks older than you, he is only twenty. You are two years older than him, so let him call you big brother! Da Laozhu, quickly call him brother! ”

“Brother!” Jin Dabao smiled innocently at me and shouted with his coarse voice.

“Hm!” “Hello, little brother!” I nodded.

“Brother, do you have a nickname?” Jin Dabao asked me.

“No!” I shook my head.

San Geda introduced another young woman: “This is Da Laozhu’s wife! She had just married someone! Her name is Chao Xixi! Your sister-in-law! “Hehe, hurry up and call me uncle!”

“Eldest Uncle!” Chao Xixi shyly called out to me as she blushed and lowered her head.

“Yes, how are you, sister-in-law?”

“This is Jin Ergang, nicknamed Smelly Vajra because he likes to fart. Only seventeen years old and already a wife! Marry her next year. Smelly King Kong, quickly call him brother! ”

San Geda was extremely busy, and only after a round of introductions did he remember to bring me clothes to change. Da Laozhu is the biggest out of them all, so he took his clothes for me to wear. However, I was too tall. Even after putting on my clothes, they were still quite short, but at least my clothes were still dry, which was still better than being wet.

I remembered that there were two other important people who did not greet me, so I asked, “Third Uncle, where are my grandparents?”

San Geda’s smile disappeared, he sighed, and said: “Your grandfather has passed away! Your grandmother is sick and is lying in her room! ”

I said, “Then I’ll go in and see my grandmother. “Which room is she in?”

San Geda brought me to a mud house facing west. The space inside was low, it did not take up a lot of space, and the light from the window was poor, giving off a thick musty smell. I saw an old woman sitting by the bed. An old woman was also lying on the bed. I don’t know which one is my grandmother.

It was clear enough that the old lady sitting by the bed had two circular burn scars on her face. The scar felt thick and hard, covering her eyes. Where could he see her eyes? She was blind.

However, her face was currently facing me, as if she could see me. Her expression was not very good, and was rather gloomy as she asked, “San Geda has committed another offense today. Who did you bring this time?”
