Chapter 9 You Can
Qiao Ming's family of three are all locals of City B, and they are crammed into a bungalow with a yard, and they are doing well. Qiao Ming's mother, Niu Xiaohua, was a nurse and a nurse at the school, but she died when Qiao Ming was five years old. Qiao Qishan is a taxi driver, after Niu Xiaohua died, in order to take care of his daughter, he has been running the day shift, of course, there is another reason that Qiao Qishan is very timid and does not dare to run the night train.
Since Qiao Ming went to college, Qiao Qishan changed his working hours to the same schedule as Qiao Ming. So Qiao Ming hardly lives in school, running back and forth between school and home every day, like an office worker, occasionally going home to cook early, and the father and daughter can have a drink.
One day a month ago, Qiao Ming, as usual, rushed home after school to buy groceries. All day that day, Qiao Ming felt flustered, and when she was about to get home, she quickened her pace and hurried into the door. But he found that his home was in a mess, as if he had been smashed and robbed, and there was a suspicious pool of blood on the ground. Seeing Qiao Qishan's bag on the sofa and the sound of running water in the bathroom, Qiao Ming suppressed his heart palpitations, knocked on the bathroom door, and shouted: "Dad!"
"Xiao Ming!" Qiao Qishan in the bathroom hurriedly opened the door and rushed out like a savior, "Xiao Ming, you help Dad to see, what the hell is going on, why are these clothes not clean." ”
"Xiao Ming?"
At that moment, Qiao Ming's eyes were red, his hands were tightly covering his mouth, and he looked at Qiao Qishan speechless in horror and despair.
The person in front of him, holding a piece of blood-soaked clothes in one hand, didn't realize that he was covered in blood, his head was pressed and deformed, his chest was completely sunken, forming a huge pit, and one arm on his side was still hanging crumblingly, and his whole body was still looking like a person.
"Xiao Ming, what's wrong with you?" Qiao Qishan asked suspiciously, his face covered with bruises and deformed head made him look hideous and terrifying.
Qiao Ming covered her mouth and shook her head, screaming silently in her throat, even though she burst into tears, she desperately tried her best not to let herself cry.
"Then I'm going to do the laundry, by the way, can you help me get some medicine, I always feel a headache and my chest is still stuffy. After saying that, Qiao Qishan walked back to the bathroom. Qiao Ming was left alone, kneeling on the ground, suffering heart-rending pain.
But Qiao Qishan didn't feel his strangeness at all.
He washed and cooked as usual, shaking his mangled body, going in and out of the living room and kitchen. Qiao Ming sat at the dining table, shivering with the bowl, she kept her head down, not daring to look at Qiao Qishan, while struggling to fill her mouth with half-cooked rice. Qiao Qishan saw that she was gobbling up, but he just smiled, and the blood on his body flowed all over the table.
In the middle of the night, Qiao Ming's bedroom door was knocked, and Qiao Qishan stood outside the door and said pleadingly, "Xiao Ming, you help Dad find medicine, Dad's head and arms hurt so much." ”
Qiao Ming didn't know what she was doing, she walked out of the bedroom with a blank face, looked at Qiao Qishan's broken arm, deformed head, and sunken chest, and unhurriedly took out needles and threads, sewed Qiao Qishan's arm one by one, and wrapped bandages on it.
"Does it still hurt?" Qiao Ming looked at Qiao Qishan with teary eyes.
"My daughter is amazing," Qiao Qishan raised his arm and moved, and smiled, "It's in my chest, I always feel that something is pressing and I can't breathe, and my head hurts for a while." ”
"Xiao Ming?"
"It's okay," Qiao Ming wiped away his tears and tried to squeeze out a smile, "Dad, I won't go out to work tomorrow, okay?"
"Then what's the matter, you still have a year to graduate, I promised your mother, I have to take care of your work. ”
"Then we'll go back when your arm is healed, okay?"
"That's fine. Qiao Qishan nodded.
"Go to sleep. ”
Qiao Qishan stood up, but stumbled all the way to the bedroom. Qiao Ming looked at the series of blood stains left behind him, and suddenly shouted to the person, "Dad." ”
"What's wrong?"
Qiao Ming stood up, gritted his teeth and strode in front of Qiao Qishan, and suddenly had unprecedented great courage in his heart, "Are you injured, you take a shower first, change your clothes, and I'll help you wipe the medicine." ”
The sofa was soaked with blood, and Qiao Ming turned a blind eye. Qiao Qishan said that she had a headache, so she stitched up all the wounds on her scalp and face, Qiao Qishan said that her chest was tight, so she tried to correct the ribs in her chest one by one.
Qiao Qishan finally looked complete, except for the constant shouting of chest tightness, the water in the bathroom, which was always flushed red, and the dishes on the dinner table were always sandwiched.
On the second day of that day, Qiao Ming went to class as usual, Qiao Qishan went to work as usual, the two packed up their things and set off together, and the moment they stepped out of the door, the sun was shining as bright as ever.
"Do you remember?" asked in a cold voice, "Hiding a ghost should have been punished, but I don't care about you because you made a mistake unintentionally." If there is a next time, don't blame us for being polite. After speaking, the black and white impermanence dragged Qiao Qishan and was about to leave. But Qiao Ming was crying while holding Qiao Qishan tightly, making black and white impermanence helpless. Gou Rixin looked at Qiao Ming in surprise.
"If we don't let go, we're welcome. Black and white impermanence said.
"Xiao Ming, Dad is so scared," Qiao Qishan cried, "who are they, where are they going to take Daddy?" ”
"Why are you so cowardly when you die," Qiao Ming helped Qiao Qishan wipe the blood and tears on his face, and choked up, "What should I do if I go to the underworld?"
"Dad didn't want to go. Qiao Qishan cried, "Daddy still has to take care of you." ”
"Okay, then we won't go. Qiao Ming replied.
Listening to Qiao Ming's words, the aura around the black and white impermanence changed suddenly, and a gust of wind suddenly blew in the living room, and the things in the room were rolled up and fell. Qiao Qishan trembled with fright, and drove the iron chain that locked him to "bell", Qiao Ming held the chain tightly, and his lip bit blood.
"If you are obsessed, don't blame us for being polite. Another iron rope whizzed from the black and white impermanence, obviously heading towards Qiao Ming.
"Xiao Ming!" Qiao Qishan pushed Qiao Ming away and blocked the front, "Xiao Ming, are you okay?"
"I'm fine. Qiao Ming looked at Qiao Qishan's anxious face, and his eyes were blurred. Qiao Qishan stood up and looked at the black and white impermanence, "I'll go with you, don't hurt my daughter." ”
"Dad. Qiao Ming cried, holding Qiao Qishan's arm desperately, desperately trying to keep the person.
When black and white are impermanent, they can easily restore everything in the house to their original state. Qiao Ming sat silently on the sofa and watched them take Qiao Qishan away.
"It's all my fault," Gou Rixin jumped down from the cabinet, squatted beside Qiao Ming, and glanced apologetically, "I shouldn't have taken you and your father to the Thorn Fox Temple that day, and called his name in the middle of the night to let Black and White Impermanence find out." ”
"Is it because of this?" Qiao Ming replied unconsciously with a blank face.
"yes, haven't you heard of shouting souls in the middle of the night. ”
"Haven't heard of it. ”
Gou Rixin wrinkled a cat face, and after a long time of struggle, he finally stretched out his head and rubbed Qiao Ming's knee, and then stretched out his cat's paw and put it on the back of Qiao Ming's hand, "You can stroke me." ”
"What?"
"Haven't you heard of cats for a while!" Gou Rixin is justified and righteous and awe-inspiring.
Qiao Ming looked down at him, and couldn't help laughing for a while, "I've heard of it." The hand touched the hairy cat's head, tugged at the cat's ears, and scratched the cat's neck, "That's good." ”
"Meow..." Gou Rixin's whole body stiffened.
"There's no shame in being jerked off. Qiao Ming smiled.
"Can I ask you a question?" Gou said.
"What's wrong?"
"Why does black and white impermanence seem so scared that you want to keep your father's soul?"
"Because I'm a youkai?"
"Really?" Gou Rixin's neck unconsciously exploded with a circle of hair.
When Qiao Ming saw it, he smiled and pressed it for him, "I don't know, when my mother died, her soul was also taken away by them personally." ”
"You've seen black and white impermanence!" Gou Rixin couldn't hold back any longer, and the hair on his whole body exploded, like a fat hedgehog.
"Hahaha," Qiao Ming saw Gou Rixin's appearance, haha fell on the sofa and laughed, "You look like this, it's really ugly." Gou Rixin narrowed his eyes, jumped suddenly, and a Mount Tai crushed on Qiao Ming's face.
"Holy!"
Qiao Ming's mother was a nurse who died of a virus infection, as for who was infected and what virus was infected, the hospital has not yet given a clear word. But this has nothing to do with the emergence of black and white impermanence.
At that time, Qiao Ming was only five years old, and his concept of death was not particularly clear, so he probably thought it was a disease. So, if you get better, will you be able to come back to life? Yes, of course.
Therefore, when she took her mother's hand, walked out of the hospital gate, walked through the bustling street, and walked home, she was still full of excitement, thinking that she could give her father a big surprise, but she didn't expect to give him a big fright. When Qiao Qishan saw Niu Xiaohua, he fainted at that time, and he happened to miss the first appearance of black and white impermanence in Qiao's living room.
"When I grew up, I thought it was strange, could it be because our family had special genes?
"Don't you think it's because of you?" asked Gou Rixin.
"Me?" Qiao Ming looked at Meow in surprise, "Why is it because of me?"
"Can your mom and dad have the same genes?"
"Maybe they're all special humans, that's why they're combined, aren't they all acting like this on TV?"
"What about your grandparents, grandparents, and grandparents, can they also come back from the dead?"
"I'm blah blah!" Qiao Ming threw a pillow and smashed it on Gou Rixin, "They're not dead yet!"
"Meow!" Gou Rixin rolled and jumped off the sofa, but the woman and the villain were difficult to raise. "And do they know?"
"Gou Rixin, don't you want to see Yang Lian, take me there?" Qiao Ming changed the subject, "Do you want to bring your ID card for crossing?"
