Binh Duong, China.

It's been two weeks since the last time he fainted, and Li Zhen's life has changed a lot.

He moved out of Aunt Liu's.

Previously, he and Qi Yuanshan lived in a storage room behind the barbecue restaurant - this was originally the residence of Aunt Liu and her family when they first started their business, but later they bought a house in the city, and this house was converted into a storage room. When Qi Yuanshan and Li Zhen came, they cleaned up again, added a high and low bed, and turned it into a bedroom for the two.

When he got out of the hospital that day, he finally dispelled Aunt Liu's idea of leaving another house, and let Qi Yuanshan go back to the store with him.

After that, he told Aunt Liu that he was afraid that his "skin disease" would infect Qi Yuanshan, and he wanted to go out and find a house to live in. Of course, Qi Yuanshan expressed strong opposition, but Aunt Liu finally agreed.

Thinking about it, the reason is quite simple - although Aunt Liu also regards Li Zhen as her nephew, she is not as close as Yuanshan after all, and it is true that she is worried about infection.

Li Zhen didn't take it to heart. It is normal for people to have a difference between intimacy and alienation, and if you feel guilty because of this, it means that you don't know what to do.

Eventually, he found a house in an old residential area 20 minutes away from the barbecue restaurant. It's an urban village — in fact, it's a neighborhood right next to the suburbs — and it's basically the same green-tiled houses. The house is not big, with a small courtyard, there is a pumping well in the yard, a plane tree is planted, and a small stone table and four broken small stone benches are placed under the tree, and the environment looks quite good.

Qi Yuanshan was so envious that he shouted and said that he would also move in together, but he was slapped by Aunt Liu and scolded him for wasting money.

The owner is a frequent customer of the barbecue restaurant, and Aunt Liu helped Li Zhen negotiate the price to 180 yuan a quarter and free the deposit.

In fact, this courtyard is the ancestral home of the owner's family, and it is placed in such a demolition. He said that he rented out the house to support his popularity, so he helped him install a water heater and air conditioner.

After working with Aunt Liu and Qi Yuanshan for most of the day, the small courtyard has been completely renewed. Li Zhen was lying on the kang, thinking about Qi Yuanshan's sentence when he left, "I really envy you for living in a villa now", and couldn't help laughing.

A thick sponge mat was laid on the kang, and the bedding was newly bought.

On the opposite wall hangs a TV, which is a bit old but of good quality. On the left side of the window are computer desks and an old-fashioned computer. The owner's son said it couldn't be played by playing the game, but it was okay to look at the web page.

The outer room used to be a pot stove, but it was demolished 40 years ago and replaced with a small living room. There is an indoor toilet next to it, so you don't need to go to the public toilet. He couldn't afford such conditions in the city center. But everything was going so smoothly here, so smoothly that his mood gradually improved.

However, the reason why I bought these for myself is not because I am "afraid of skin disease infection".

He knew what was happening to his body. Everything that happened in the hospital that day confirmed his suspicions - two bone bumps on the X-rays...... The white hair that grows out of the shoulder blades.

If he guessed correctly......

I'm growing wings.

Even though he had crawled out of the grave, the fact that he still made him shudder.

After regaining consciousness in the grave, he was unable to move, speak, see, or hear for a long time...... I can only be awake.

He didn't know why his body was rotten, and his mind could still think. The vitality that was when I was sick and hospitalized is still there, but it is pitifully weak.

He lay in the dark like that, the pain beyond the limits of his imagination. What he fears most is that he will be sober and awake all the time, maybe after three or five years, he will still be sober like this - he can't even end his life.

The terrible pain lasted for an unknown amount of time, until an animal came in.

After obtaining the ziyou, he examined his coffin and concluded that it was a mouse.

It was this rat that saved him.

The little suckling animal climbed up on his body, and then it was as if he had fallen into a swamp. The rotting body of mud wrapped around it tightly, and from the time the first layer of fur was melted away, the force grew stronger and stronger until it was digested cleanly.

Li Zhen finally felt a little stronger—he could feel his body.

And yet that feeling ......

He couldn't help but frown. From that mouse to Yu Qingqing, what happened during that period was enough for him to spit out his bile when he thought about it carefully.

Thanks to the little girl, he no longer had to wait in the grave. The little girl brought him four chickens, six pieces of pork, and a dead snake—I wonder where that little girl got so daring.

Recalling these things, Li Zhen subconsciously looked at his hands. Now this strong and powerful body...... It grows slowly from those things.

He didn't eat them, nor did he simply fuse them. He realized that his body seemed to transform them into a part of himself in a much deeper way, even including ......

White scales on the arm - that's because of the snake, right?

Wings growing on their backs - that's because of the chickens?

As for the rest, he thought about it for a long time and came up with a less convincing answer than what their features did not show in him: they were all fowls.

It was for this reason that he had to move out. Because he could feel the itching and soreness in his back getting worse and worse, as if something inside was about to tear his skin.

They're growing......

As soon as the attention is focused on the back, the uncomfortable feeling is even stronger. So he had to jump off the kang and stretch his arms a little.

In the next few days, he was idle - Aunt Liu planned to take Qi Yuanshan back to his hometown, because two days later, Qi Yuanshan's grandmother and Aunt Liu's mother were jealous. Before leaving, she gave everyone a vacation, and after helping Li Zhen move, she went directly to the train station.

Li Zhen walked into the small courtyard. The leaves of the sycamore were already yellow, and a few pieces fluttered down, which calmed his mood a little.

He pulled out a box of flying clouds from his pocket.

After staring at it for a while, he gritted his teeth, walked back into the house, closed the door, and jumped on the kang with a clean towel.

He intended to confirm his other conjecture.

Taking off his shirt, he shivered, so he turned on the air conditioner again. Look around and close the curtains.

After making sure there were no missing details, he pulled out a cigarette, put it in his mouth, clicked, and lit it.

He took a hard puff, dropped the cigarette on the ground, grabbed the towel and formed a ball, and bit it into his mouth.
