Xue Chen saw Xiaohu enter the house, walked over and asked, "What did he tell you?" ”

"Nothing!" I said a little sadly: "A little reluctant to him!" ”

"He'll be back on vacation!"

"I'll go find the old lady, you can accompany him!"

"The old lady is in a small single room!" Xue Chen glanced at the room on the left, his expression a little solemn.

When I came to the small single room, the old lady was still kneeling in front of the offering table, twisting the rosary--Mrs. Du said that the old lady had been staying here a lot lately, chanting sutras and worshipping the Buddha, and I couldn't help but feel heavy. I walked to the corner, took out the sand tray from the canvas bag, poured out the fine sand and spread it out. I practiced at a very slow pace, drawing in one stroke - much more coherent than yesterday!

"Got it?" The old lady suddenly asked.

"Hmm!" I've been drawing for so long, at least now I don't have to look at the photos on my phone.

The old lady turned her head and looked: "It's too slow!" ”

I bowed my head in shame, not daring to defend myself - I really, really tried my best!

"Speed is not only about saving time, it's about saving effort. Once you really start writing, the longer it takes, the greater the loss to yourself. ”

"Hmm!"

"That girl from the Xia family is here?"

"Fortunately, she arrived last night, otherwise Xue Chen ...... Old lady, I guess it's better not to let him ......"

"No!" The old lady interrupted me and said thoughtfully, "This is the ...... Let him have a beginning and an end! ”

"Oh!" I lowered my head and continued to practice until I saw the old lady get up, I immediately put down the sand table and stepped forward to help.

The old lady patted the back of my hand and turned to walk, and I followed, freeing one hand and closing the door.

"Grandma!" As soon as he got out of the house, Xiaohu greeted him and got into the old lady's arms.

The old lady sighed slightly, and said with a kind smile: "What Xiaohu wants to eat today, let grandma make it for you!" ”

Xiaohu thought for a while and said, "Can I eat them all?" ”

At noon, a room full of people had a happy meal. I had an appointment with Xia Jing in the afternoon, and Xue Chen and I left the Du family without waiting for Xiaohu's father to come.

"You say I'm your superhero ......"

"Hello?"

"I forgot to tell you, bring some change of clothes, I'm afraid you won't be able to go home these days!"

“…… Good! I put down my phone and said to the taxi driver, "Master, please go to Splendid Garden first!" ”

"What's wrong?" Xue Chen asked.

"Natsu said let me prepare a change of clothes! Who knows what she wants to do!" I said depressedly.

The car was parked in front of the community, Xue Chen stayed in the car and waited, and I ran back and forth quickly - fortunately, it was summer, and if it was winter, it would be a burden to carry two clothes.

Longteng Hotel, the best five-star hotel in the city, only felt it at the door last night, and entered the hall today, and really felt what is the brilliance and service first!

"Hello, do you have an appointment?"

"We're looking for guests staying at 1208!"

"What's your last name?"

"The surname is Lin!"

"Wait a minute!" The front desk lady smiled the whole time, she pressed the mouse, "Thank you for waiting!" We'll take you there! ”

As soon as she finished speaking, a man in a blue uniform walked over: "Please come with me, two of you!" "The elevator stopped on the top floor, which is undoubtedly the best room in the hotel, and I suddenly had a question in my heart: how could the Xia family have not been traced for many years?

"You're here!"

When we entered the door, the first thing we saw was ...... Yulan!

"You...... How did it get here? ”

"Xiao Xia sent someone to pick me up!" Yulan said with a smile.

I hurriedly walked towards Xia Jing, and as soon as she opened her mouth, she asked, "How is it here?" ”

"Huh?" I was stunned for a moment and replied, "Pretty good!" ”

"Really?" Xia Jing frowned, turned to look at Xue Chen and asked, "Brother Chen, what do you say?" ”

Xue Chen glanced around: "The air is circulating, the vision is good, and it is not easy to be grounded when it is at a high altitude." This floor is a VIP suite, for the sake of the guests' **, there are few people coming and going, and the soundproofing facilities in the room must be good! ”

Xia Jing nodded with satisfaction, and glanced at me again, I was feeling embarrassed, Yulan came over and said gently, "Sit down!" ”

"Well, don't be restrained!" Xia Jing's attitude changed, and he smiled and said, "If you like it, you have to stay for a few days!" ”

"Why?" I suddenly reacted, "By the way, you asked me to bring my clothes, that's all?" ”

"You're going to He'an, aren't you? I don't want to go! But you look like this......" Xia Jing paused, considered his words, and continued: "Do you want to send you to death?" ”

Yulan asked anxiously, "Can they really solve it?" ”

"This kind of thing, there are no absolutes! Don't forget, just what you promised me! ”

Yulan's eyes darkened, and she nodded slightly.

"You want to be here...... Train her? Xue Chen asked.

Xia Jing shook her head: "As far as her comprehension is concerned, it will take several years!" It's just sharpening knives on the spot, anyway, she has a good foundation, right! She smiled harmlessly at me.

I looked at Yulan, remembered the incident of last night, and felt a little nervous, and couldn't help asking, "Then what's the matter with her?" ”

"She?" Xia Jing looked at Yulan and said with interest: "It's a rare treasure!" ”

"Treasure ...... Baby? "I was shocked.

Yulan looked at me and said with a wry smile, "Xiao Xia refers to my body...... No, it should be said that this is not my body! ”

I was confused when I heard it, and I was afraid of being blinded by Xia Jing, so I had to look at Xue Chen, who knew that he also shook his head.

"My current body is a kind of 'spirit worm'!" Yulan explained.

"It's the 'corpse spirit', a very ancient Gu worm, the larvae are put into the human brain and kept in captivity, it will continue to multiply, replace the rotten muscles in the body, and eventually ......" Xia Jing looked at Yu Lan, and said with bright eyes: "Just like her, become an aggregate of adult worms!" ”

I looked at Yulan in horror, and suddenly felt a little sick to my stomach - I really couldn't imagine that a person's body was a bunch of parasites.

"Except for immortality, is there nothing other than immortality?" Xue Chen asked.

"This, I have to ask her!" Xia Jing looked at Yulan with a curious expression.

Yulan said embarrassedly: "I can't feel the general pain, only when I am exposed to the sun, my skin will burn...... Although I don't feel hungry, if I don't eat for a long time, I will feel weak......"

"'Corpse spirits' belong to 'femininity', which is an ancient way of preserving corpses, so they are afraid of sunlight. Your soul is trapped in it, and they cover it with the skin of their body for self-preservation, and they keep repairing it, which is why your skin doesn't age. But ...... eating," Xia Jing shook his head in confusion, "Maybe it's the ability to replenish!" ”

"Is this the same as a zombie?" I asked.

"I don't know! It's all said, this is a very old Gu worm. I've only read written records in ancient books, but I didn't expect it...... You can even come across live specimens! There was a hint of excitement in Xia Jing's tone, and I finally understood why she looked at Yulan so strangely - it was like a greedy person saw a pile of red tickets and thought that he could take it for himself!
