Chapter 224: I'm Dying
I thought that the appearance of the old man meant that I was not far from death. www.biquge.info After all, I have been able to live until now because my old man has allowed me to live. However, after that day, the old man disappeared completely. The doctor said that the old man locked himself in the house again and began to retreat.
The only thing that has changed is that my food is getting better and better. From the simple big fish and meat, it has become a food carefully cooked with various precious medicinal herbs. Precious medicinal materials such as old ginseng, Polygonum multiflori, and Ganoderma lucidum were delivered to me three times a day. Although I don't understand this, all I can do is to take it all. In this way, my body is a little stronger than before, and my cultivation has also improved a lot. So much so that I have a delusion, does the old man want to accept me as an apprentice?
However, I quickly dismissed this hypothesis, whether he had it in mind or not. I'm not going to learn some sorcery from her.
And just like that, another month passed. The tiger is back, and this time it is back, and the tiger is even more proud. Obviously, in the past few months, his business has been smooth sailing, and every time he goes out, he returns with a full load. The things brought back, such as cigarettes, foreign liquor, and women, were counted by truck.
On this day, I took a walk around my room after I had my fill. I heard the guards outside the door gossiping, so I sat by the door and listened. It's my only pastime and the source of news. With the help of the doctor, I learned some Burmese and Thai, and although I can't speak proficiently, I can understand most of the commonly used ones.
After listening to it for a while, I understood a few words: "old man, house, smoke, cyan." "Smoke coming from the old man's house?" I thought to myself. This smoke is no ordinary omen. When a person is described as having good luck, he will say that the ancestral grave of this person is smoking. And a person smokes for no reason, that... Likely to be a daylift? This old man cultivates evil arts, and he can actually cultivate to the point of ascension? That's impossible!
I listened patiently for a while, and understood a few words: "snake, poisonous, dead," and what does that mean? Could it be that the old man raised a poisonous snake in his house? That green smoke is actually the venom sprayed by poisonous snakes? Dead person? Who died? The old man is dead? Unlikely.
The more I listened to the next conversation, the more I couldn't understand it, although it was Burmese, it was supposed to be their dialect. However, judging from the two of them talking and laughing, the old man must be alive and well.
Anyway, I didn't understand it, so I went back to bed and began to analyze what I had just heard. Obviously, it is normal for the old man to keep poisonous snakes. If the corpse is refined with poison, then the five poisonous things will naturally be necessary. The China-Myanmar border is warm and humid, and the most suitable thing is the survival of all kinds of poisonous snakes. It's just that a poisonous snake that can spit green smoke from its mouth is probably not an ordinary poisonous snake. I'm afraid it's also a venomous snake, right? But what's so strange about that? The old man can refine two demon corpses at the same time, so it is naturally not a problem to subdue a poisonous snake that has become a spirit. Calculated by year, I'm afraid that my senior uncle and ancestor are not much younger than my ancestor, and how high my cultivation is, God knows?
Just as I was thinking about it, suddenly the door opened. It was indeed the doctor who came in. During this time, the doctor and I were already friends. He is an overseas Chinese in Myanmar who used to work as a professor in a large hospital in Myanmar, and three years ago, his whole family was abducted by Nahu and brought here. There are also several kidnapped doctors who are in charge of medical care here. However, the tiger is also good to him, and in addition to freedom, his family is also doing well. The people here are also very polite to him, after all, at the critical moment, they still expect him to be able to save his life.
When the doctor saw me lying on the bed, he came over. Put down the medicine box you had with you, take out the blood pressure monitor, and put it on for me. I'm used to it, and almost every few days, the doctor has to check my body. I turned my head sideways to look at the doctor, and I just didn't understand a few words, and I wanted to ask him, but I saw that he frowned, as if he had something on his mind.
"Doctor, what's wrong?" I asked.
The doctor was stunned for a moment when I asked this, then came back to his senses, shook his head and smiled, "I'm fine." ”
"Is there something wrong with me?" I'm kidding.
Who knew that when the doctor heard me say this, he stopped his movements and looked at me with a blank face. After a long time, he nodded and said, "Hmm." Probably, it's only been a few days..."
"These days?" The next moment, I realized that the doctor knew something. I asked, "Isn't it, they're about to do it?" ”
"Well, the old man was out of the customs yesterday. Let me check your body today, and then ask the people below to prepare a lot of things, I think..."The doctor did not speak again.
"Oh," I laughed, "I've finally waited for this day." ”
"I'm sorry," the doctor said.
"It's none of your business," I shook my head, "You're a good person." Thank you for taking care of you during this time, and Ame. "Speaking of Amei, I remembered again that she used to come to bring me food every day, but she has disappeared in the past few days. I asked, "What about Ame?" I haven't seen her in a few days. ”
The doctor shook his head and did not speak.
I frowned and asked, "What's wrong with Ame?"
"Ame, dead," the doctor replied.
"What?" I said loudly. "How is that possible? Why? ”
Seeing that I was so excited, the doctor sighed and said, "Originally, Ah Mei was responsible for taking care of you, and he and his family had a much better life. However, the day before, Amei's younger brother was seriously ill, and in order to save him, Amei secretly gave his brother the old ginseng that should be eaten for you. As a result, when he was discovered, his whole family was..."
"That's it?" I looked at the doctor in surprise and asked.
"Hmm" The doctor nodded and said, "The old man has given an order, whoever dares to steal your things will kill the whole family." I can't do anything about it. ”
At this moment, I was stunned. I tried hard to remember what Amei looked like, but I couldn't remember anything. I don't have any feelings for her. She took care of me to stay alive. Due to the language barrier, we didn't even say a word. However, Amei actually died like this.
"You don't have to blame yourself too much, it's not your fault. And," the doctor reassured.
Of course, I know that what the doctor is going to say is, besides, you are also dying. It's useless to think about that. yes, I'm dying, so what's the use of all this? I smiled wryly, "Doctor, can you prepare something for me?" I want to do a ritual for Ame. ”
The doctor looked at me and nodded.
Actually, my Taoism is not enough to do transcendent Dharma deeds at all, and besides, what can I prepare here? Still, I want to do a ritual for Amei. Even if I have to die tomorrow, I want to feel more comfortable, so that I will have less resentment, and I can't kill the old man if I become a ghost anyway. (To be continued.) )
