Chapter 168: Hurting Body and Mind
At this time, I was already very touched when someone was willing to come and see me.
"Mom and Dad, don't talk so much."
Xiao Ai said softly, the two elders remembered something, wiped the tears on their faces, and took out the contents of the basket: "Come, thirteen, we know that you must have eaten anything yet, my aunt made you a little gnocchi, you eat a few bites to recover some strength." ”
Scooped some gnocchi with a spoon and brought it to my mouth.
In fact, I'm really not hungry at all now, especially when my sore throat looks like it's smoking, but I can't refuse, I have to save a little strength, at least until Liu Ruoxue moves to the rescue.
I ate one bite at a time, drank the whole bowl of gnocchi clean, and felt that my stomach was finally a little warmer, and my strength had recovered a little.
"Thirteen, it's inconvenient for us to stay here longer, and we'll come back in the evening." Xiao Ai, who had been watching the wind by my side, said softly, looking at the wounds all over my body, his eyes flashed a trace of unbearability.
I nodded, "I'm sorry for you." ”
Uncle Cui and Aunt Cui looked at me, sighed, turned around and left.
I closed my eyes, and I couldn't see anything in front of me in the white fog, so I simply closed my eyes and began to meditate, hoping to get better soon.
Meditation is to absorb the aura around me, to breathe in and absorb it, but I don't know why, no matter how I meditate, I feel that the aura around me is just lingering around my body, and I can't absorb it into my body.
Could it be that this is also the ghost of that belt?
The wind was gusting, and the place where I was tied was close to the river, and sometimes, I could even feel the tiger's eyes hidden under the calm river, and as long as I got closer, they would stretch out countless hands and drag me into the river.
Being tied up like this, the blood circulation all over my body is not smooth, and my whole body is numb.
In the afternoon, it was Xiao Ai who came to help me deliver food, and after feeding me, he also helped me with medicine.
The cold east wind is the best anesthetic, I was blown unconscious all over my body, even on the medicine, I didn't have any pain, but Xiao Ai helped me complain angrily, saying that those two Taoist priests had no humanity and pulled my flesh and skin apart.
There were several wounds that were so deep that the clothes and flesh were attached.
Not long after Xiao Ai left, the two Taoist priests came, still holding their belts.
"Wu Thirteen, your life is quite hard, you have been hanging for a day and a night, and you can't die like this, how about it, this village is what you and the ninth master have worked hard to wait for, and those villagers are also saved by your hard work, how do you feel when you are abused by them like this."
As he spoke, he laughed gloatingly.
I closed my eyes faintly and didn't speak.
Seeing me like this, Qiankun walked in front of me and spit on my face: "What I don't like the most is the expression of you cultivators, who are pure and high, always think that you are some kind of hero who saves the world, in fact, all your achievements are obtained by stepping on the bodies of our monsters." ”
"Those stupid villagers, do you see it, they are all thinking about themselves, as long as they are good for themselves, no matter who the other party is, whether they are kind to themselves or not, they will be eliminated."
I opened my eyes: "There will always be exceptions. ”
Qiankun smiled: "Yes, then let's wait together, but you also have to live until that day." ”
He pulled out the belt again, and the corners of my eyes twitched slightly, and I knew that a nightmare was about to strike again.
……
When Xiao Ai came back the next day, he saw the wounds all over my body and was stunned.
This time, I couldn't even laugh, there was no good meat on my body, and even my face was mottled with red marks.
In fact, before Xiao Ai came, many villagers had already come to see me, and when they saw the traces of my body, they just laughed at me and scolded me for deserving it, and even worse, spit on me.
I can see that these villagers are gradually becoming ghostly, and their faces are gradually blue and purple, that is, the appearance of death, I guess, these seven seven eight are the ghosts in these white mist.
They are also looking for a substitute, there was no movement before, it seems that they are planning to make the yang energy of the villagers here lower step by step, and finally take the opportunity to kill them, so as to be their own substitute ghosts.
Xiao Ai was the same, his face was bruised, and I was about to open my mouth to remind him, when I saw him put the basket on the ground, walked behind me, and began to help me untie the rope.
"What are you doing!" Without the restraint of the rope, my legs were weak and I almost fell to the ground, but fortunately, Xiao Ai hurriedly supported me.
"I'll take you away, if you stay here any longer, your life will really be gone."
I am grateful in my heart, but I know that if I leave, it will be their family that will be affected, Uncle Cui and Aunt Cui and Xiao Ai are all good people, and I can't affect them.
Shaking his head: "Forget it, if you take me away, you will be the enemy of the whole village." ”
"It's the people in the village who don't care about it, I only know that you have helped our family, and the ninth master is also a good person, if you really want to harm us, you won't help us so much." Xiao Ai's eyes were very firm, and he helped me and walked towards his house.
Although I resisted, I didn't have any strength at all, and when I walked halfway, I was physically exhausted, and the whole person fainted.
I felt like my body was floating in mid-air, and I don't know how long it took for my body to slowly feel like it was on the ground.
When I opened my eyes slightly, I found myself lying on a bed with a cold towel on my head, and Xiao Ai was sitting next to me and napping.
My whole body hurt like a fire, and I wanted to call Xiao Ai, but I found that my throat was dry and I couldn't speak at all, and could only make a few fragmentary syllables.
Fortunately, Xiao Ai may have heard my voice, and suddenly woke up, and saw that I woke up, with a happy face: "Thirteen, you finally woke up, you have been asleep for two days, and you have been having a fever, and we don't dare to call you a doctor, how do you feel, are you hungry?" Thirsty or not? ”
I nodded and whispered the word water.
Xiao Ai understood, and hurriedly poured me a glass of warm water and brought it to my mouth.
I didn't care about anything, so I drank it all at once, and it felt as if the dry earth had finally attracted moisture.
After drinking five glasses of water, I felt a little better.
He nodded at Xiao Ai and signaled that I was enough.
"You have such a bad fever, and you don't know what is going on with the wounds on your body, and you can't get better."
I know it's because of the spell on that belt.
Seeing that my face showed tiredness, Xiao Ai helped me press the quilt: "You must still be very uncomfortable now, let's sleep for a while." ”
I nodded gratefully, and was just about to close my eyes, when I suddenly remembered something, and hurriedly stopped Xiao Ai: "Xiao Ai, I still have the last three evil charms in my bag, you take them with you, this village is surrounded by ghosts." ”
Hearing my words, Xiao Ai frowned and wanted to ask clearly, but he also knew that I couldn't say much about my current situation, so he responded obediently: "I know, by the way, and your girlfriend Xiaoxue, the villagers said that she was also a demon girl, and I originally planned to tie her up, but when I went to your house, Xiaoxue was no longer there, but the villagers smashed your shop." ”
I blinked, which I expected, and said in a hoarse voice, "I see." ”
"Then you have a good rest."
Xiao Ai walked to the door and closed it for me.
I closed my eyes, probably because I was still having a high fever, and after a while, I fell into a deep sleep.
When I woke up again, I heard an argument downstairs.
"Cui Daqing! You have to hand over Wu Thirteen today, the two masters have made it very clear, he is a scourge, you must help him do it for 7749 days, you took him away, do you hope that Wu 13 will harm our whole village! ”
"What are you talking about! Lao Li Tou, let me tell you, Thirteen and Jiu Ye have been in the village for so long, everyone knows what kind of people they are, you are fair, when your grandson cried at night, was Thirteen good for your grandson! And you, old king, you were scared out of your soul at the beginning, did Thirteen help you call you back, he did so many things, what kind of scourge! ”
I heard my name and struggled to get out of bed.
With just such a small movement, my wounds began to bleed, and all the bandages I had just changed were stained with blood.
Whispering the door, I walked to the top of the stairs and listened to the people downstairs.
"So what, this disaster was brought by him, since he died to quell the scourge, then die early, don't bother us!"
I saw the scene below through the window at the staircase, a large number of villagers with sticks and hoes in their hands gathered in the door of Uncle Cui's house, the blue and black on their faces became more obvious, and the three fires on their shoulders and heads were weak and only the flames remained, not only that, but behind them, I clearly saw that there were ghosts already eyeing them, waiting for the moment when their fire was extinguished.
When Uncle Cui heard the villagers' words, he didn't get angry: "What are you talking about!" ”
"I'm also thinking about the village, in short, if your family doesn't hand over Wu Thirteen today, we will smash your house."
"There is no royal law, if any of you dare to move today, I will fight with you!" As he spoke, Uncle Cui grabbed the hoe at the door, blushing and shouting.
I never thought that I wanted an innocent person to die and could say it so eloquently.
However, I know that I have to go, otherwise, it will really affect Uncle Cui and Aunt Cui's family.
