Chapter 44: Dreaming Again
The fish fry are kept in the yard, and Shu Kui runs to see them as long as he is free, but he always thinks that they don't grow fast enough.
In the early morning of the third day, she even felt that the fry had not grown at all, and she couldn't help but be anxious, and she grabbed the edge of the tank with both hands and approached the water, trying to see more clearly.
Unexpectedly, there was a gap in the edge of the cylinder, and when I pressed it hard, it happened to be pressed on it, and the palm was immediately cut with a big hole, and the blood flowed like an injection.
Shu Kui was in pain, raised his hand to check the injury, and a few drops of blood dripped into the water.
Suddenly, the little fish that were swimming leisurely under the water, like cats smelling fish, quickly swam to the surface of the water, their mouths opened and closed, and they ate the blood clean in a few moments.
Shu Kui looked interesting, so he simply put his hand in the water and paddled a few times.
The little fish were even happier, chasing the blood in the water, eating and drinking all the way.
Waiting until this bit of blood was eaten again, I don't know if it was a psychological effect or real, Shu Kui actually felt that their bodies seemed to grow a little.
"You're too anxious, why bother guarding every moment." The man who feeds the fish came, with a small bowl of blood in his hand.
Shu Kui smiled at him, didn't say anything, and left.
For the next whole day, she was trapped in the matter of "feeding people and blood fish grow fast" and couldn't extricate herself, so that she hurried to the water tank without eating lunch, broke open the wound that was no longer bleeding, and squeezed out a lot of blood into the water.
This time, she specially brought a ruler and paid attention to the length of the fish before and after feeding, and really let her find that small fish that eat human blood do grow much faster than eating other blood.
"So you like to eat this." She muttered to herself, thinking of the old man Wang, who was getting weaker and weaker day by day, thinking for a moment, and feeling that there was not much blood from her wound anyway, and it would not harm her health, so she decided to feed the fish in this way.
However, Shu Kui apparently overestimated her resistance, and after secretly feeding the fish for two days, her wound began to become red and swollen, and the pain intensified, and it was obvious that she was infected.
Fortunately, the fish has grown to more than half a catty, and it is enough to use it for stewed soup.
"What's the matter with your hands?" After dinner that day, the tree was the first to notice the anomaly.
Shu Kui clenched his fists and shook his head again and again.
"Let me see." Da Shu had a rare stern expression, "Don't shake your head again, otherwise, you know I always have a way." ”
Shu Kui knew very well that here, her resistance was completely useless, so no matter how reluctant she was, she had to spread her hands.
"What's going on?" Taishu looked at the purulent wound, his brow almost twisted into a knot.
"I accidentally scratched it." Shu Kui avoided the heavy and said lightly.
"Didn't you deal with it at the time? How did it come to this? The big tree asked, and suddenly understood something, "Speaking of which, the fish seems to be growing too fast, Guo Yuansheng said that it was about ten days, and now it is less than a week, so it's almost there." ”
Shu Kui let out a weak "um" and subconsciously glanced at the water tank.
Of course, the big tree noticed her eyes: "You really fed the fish with your own blood?" ”
Shu Kui didn't make a sound, and acquiesced.
"You're too long, aren't you?" Da Shu was furious, "Is Old Man Wang your long-lost relative?" Or did it give you some benefit to help him again and again? How capable do you think you are? ”
"I don't have any skills, but you are great." Speaking of this, Shu Kui also became angry, "In your eyes, we have no status at all, if I don't help him, who will help him?" The Buddha said that all living beings are equal, and even mortals know that humanitarianism is to be practiced, so why do you, the self-proclaimed advanced species, watch the old man wait for death one by one? He and I are not related to each other, and he has not given me any benefit, but I just want to help him, because even if I can't save him, I can know with a clear conscience that his death is not because of my indifference and indifference. ”
As soon as he spoke, Dashu couldn't help but sigh lightly, and said patiently: "I can understand your feelings, but you have to take care of yourself to help others, don't you?" ”
After a pause, seeing that Shu Kui was silent, he said again: "Since you mentioned the Buddha, then you should know that suicide is a sinful karma, he chose this path, just don't want to be a human being again, even if he regrets it, all the pain should be borne by himself, life and death are life, you have helped enough, you have done your best, you don't need to make more sacrifices for this." ”
Shu Kui still didn't speak, he didn't listen to it at all, but his sympathy for Old Man Wang became stronger and stronger, and he even hated Dashu a little bit, thinking that he was too unkind.
Da Shu instructed the people who came with him to call a doctor, and then continued: "It's not that they don't have status here, otherwise, Old Man Wang wouldn't be alive now, and Xing Yuan would have become food a long time ago." You're here, and it's not that you don't have a status - as I said, everything I do is for you, in order to make your heart feel better. ”
"You have such a good heart, why can't you even be honest, and you keep refusing to say who you are and what your identity is?" Perhaps because of being angry, Shu Kui's limbs became colder and colder, and his head began to feel dizzy.
"I won't say? Have you asked me? "Big Tree doesn't think it's wrong for him.
And then, what was said, Shu Kui couldn't hear it anymore.
In her chest, warm currents and cold currents poured out together, so excited that she could barely breathe, and in front of her eyes suddenly there was a white expanse, and she could only vaguely see a black shadow dangling around, and after a while, countless green leaves slowly appeared in her field of vision, gradually replacing white and black shadows completely.
Shu Kui felt that he had become a tree or a vine, facing the wind, bathed in the sun and rain, constantly growing taller and elongating, like a canopy of leaves, covering a blessed shade, protecting the creatures under his feet from killing and natural disasters.
It was an unprecedented peace and tranquility, and she was full of contentment, and when she saw the ants carrying food, she came to help; When he saw a child sleeping soundly, he covered the quilt and silenced him. When he saw the peasants at work, he shielded them from the scorching sun. She believes that if she sees a hungry eagle preying at this moment, she will also be like the Buddha, and she will not hesitate to cut the meat and feed the eagle.
However, the peace did not last long, and soon in her world, the sky was overcast, the wind was tight, and at last the goose-feather snow obscured the sky.
The leaves were blown away, the branches were crushed, and the creatures struggled and wailed in the snow.
Shu Kui's sadness couldn't be suppressed, and he couldn't help crying bitterly, and the tears froze into ice at the moment they flowed out, thickening the snow under his feet.
In a few moments, the snow was already over your head.
"Help!" She exclaimed, her eyes snapping open.
When the big tree heard the sound, he didn't say a word, and his expression was nervous.
"Am I asleep? Or is something hallucinating me again? Shu Kui was in his room, lying on the bed.
"What did you come across in that woods?" The big tree did not answer the rhetorical question.
"Zombies, crows, snakes, mongooses, lots of gray rabbits." Shu Kui was cold, as if the heavy snow just now was not an illusion.
"What else? Think about it. The tree didn't hear anything wrong, "Where did you go when you woke up?" ”
"When I went to a cave, I found a stick, and then I seemed to fall asleep again, and when I woke up again, the stick was gone." Shu Kui sat up, "Then, I want to try my luck and follow the rabbit to a place where there is a pond, delicious fruits, and a flower like a bed." ”
"What fruit? What flowers are like beds? The big tree was a little confused, "Where is that place?" ”
"Right where I sent the flare, the nine-leaf flower was also found there." Shu Kui actually likes that col quite a bit.
Dashu waved his hand: "I haven't found any of these." What about sticks? What's going on? What kind of cave was it found? Is it the same as the one that the man used? It's gone, where is it? How much do you remember? Tell me in detail. ”
At that time, Shu Kui naturally would not forget it, so he told it all about the scene in his dream.
Finally, he didn't forget to add: "It's just an ordinary stick, flat at both ends, white, shorter than the man's, and then I don't know where it went, probably something took it away." ”
Listening to this, the big tree already had an idea: "The stick is probably the woman's weapon, she should have fought with Lian Candle, what you dreamed of may be a memory attached to the stick." ”
"Where's that sick little girl?" Shu Kui always felt that something was wrong, "I dreamed of her before I got the stick." ”
Dashu thought about it, but he couldn't figure it out.
"What happened to me?" Shu Kui saw that he would not get an answer, so he decided not to dwell on it anymore, "I dreamed of becoming a giant plant, with big leaves, and many things living underneath, I looked at them like a guardian spirit, helping them, I felt like a god, and I also felt that I was very compassionate and compassionate, and I was about to become a bodhisattva." ”
This was a half-joking, but the big tree couldn't laugh: "You fainted just now, your whole body is white and blue, and you don't have any body temperature at all, I thought ......"
"I'm pretty cold right now, too." Shu Kui rubbed his hands, "Before I woke up, it was snowing in my dream, and it was so big that it buried me." ”
As she spoke, she realized that the wound in her palm had been bandaged: "Has the doctor been here?" ”
The big tree said "um": "He said that there is something extremely cold in your body, what it is, he doesn't know." ”
"Really? Does it matter? Shu Kui suddenly thought that perhaps, what the man wanted at that time was this extremely cold thing.
Big tree shook his head: "I don't know. However, it seems that there is something else guarding your heart, and there is a seal on your heart. ”
"How is that possible?" Shu Kui laughed.
Dashu had a serious expression: "I've investigated, and I won't be mistaken." ”
"That'...... What would happen? Shu Kui was scared.
"I don't know." The big tree frowned tightly, "The seal is quite strong, it should be done by a master, I can't find out what is sealed inside." Also, we can't draw out or remove that thing in your body, so you have to be careful, once you are weak, it may kill you. ”
