Chapter 80: A Vision of Thin Water Town
Swish!
A white light, like a long rainbow running through the sun, is vigorous, drawing a beautiful arc in the air......
In an instant, blood splattered, and more than a dozen mice that had not yet approached were directly shattered, leaving no internal organs.
"Stop!"
Lao Wu's pupils shrank, and he roared loudly, waving his arm at the same time.
It's amazing to say that with his swing, the swarm of rats gathered in the air like a black tornado actually disappeared out of thin air......
My eyes widened and I looked at Chen Yao blankly.
I saw that the bamboo stick in the girl's hand was cracked by about half an inch at the top, and a sword blade with a cold light could be seen, like a sharp point after the rain, stretched out.
In the bamboo stick, there is a sword hidden?
That was my first reaction.
Lao Wu looked at Chen Yao with dripping eyes, his face was cloudy, and after a while, he said, "Are you really the person above the white clouds?" ”
The girl asked rhetorically: "Are you really from the Gray Family?" ”
In the face of such a joking rhetorical question, Lao Wu was not angry, but smiled: "Yes, I am the 36th generation, the head of the gray family." ”
Chen Yao said: "Then you should know Chen Qingfeng, right?" ”
Hearing this name, Lao Wu's face changed greatly, turned around, and waved his cuffs.
The students who were "watching" were like being smoked, and all of them went limp and fainted.
Lao Wu looked at Chen Yao again and said in a trembling voice, "Please...... Excuse me, who are you senior Chen? ”
"Daughter." Chen Yao said lightly.
Grunt!
Lao Wu looked at Chen Yao in shock, swallowed heavily in his throat, showed an extremely complicated look on his face, and said with a wry smile: "Senior Chen, I have always been a person I respect very much, but it's a pity that ......"
"Okay, stop talking nonsense." Chen Yao frowned.
"Today's incident is that I am wrong, and I apologize to the two of you." Lao Wu sighed and arched his hand.
This attitude is indescribably respectful...... The surprise in my heart, secretly guessing what is the amazing identity of Chen Yao's father?
After Mr. Wu apologized, he raised his hand and knocked on his head, only to hear the sound of "tearing", starting from the Tianling Gai and going down, directly cracking a big hole.
There was no blood coming out, and there was no liver, intestines, skin and lungs, but a large rat comparable to a jackal came out of it.
My scalp was tingling, it was the first time I had seen a mouse of this size...... Fuck it, I'm afraid I can go head-to-head with a lion, right?
After the big rat "drilled" out of Lao Wu's body, he made a few more strokes to Chen Yao before leaving.
And Lao Wu is naturally too dead to die......
"Don't look at it, let's go."
Chen Yao saw that I was still in a daze, so she pushed me.
I asked him, what about these students?
Chen Yao said that when they woke up, they would naturally call the police...... As for what happened before, the big rat used a spell to erase their memories, so they didn't have to worry about leaving a psychological shadow.
I nodded, looked at Chen Yao, and stopped talking.
"If you have anything to say, go out and talk about it." Chen Yao said.
Good.
Chen Yao and I left Lao Wu's house together.
Looking back, I sighed in my heart when I saw this gradually desolate self-built house.
That old-fashioned but upright face, I'm afraid I won't see it anymore......
On the way back, I found that Chen Yao's face was not very good-looking, she kept her head down, and there seemed to be something hidden in her eyes.
Suddenly, the girl stumbled and fell to the side, but fortunately I kept an eye on her, and hurriedly rushed over in three steps and two steps, and held her up.
"Chen Yao, are you okay?"
Chen Yao shook his head and said weakly: "The injury has not recovered yet, and this stick was used for forced action, so ......"
"Okay, stop talking, I'll carry you."
"No, you don't."
Without giving the girl a chance to refuse, I directly carried her on my back and said with a smile: "The first time you fainted, it wasn't you who I carried it?" ”
The girl's cheeks were a little flushed, her eyes looked at me in a trance, and she said softly, "When I saw you, I thought of a person......"
"Who?" I wondered.
"A man I once misunderstood and ended up with." The girl sighed.
"Your ex-boyfriend?" I am like a great enemy.
"Go your way." The girl didn't have a good airway.
“……”
I scratched my head, carried Chen Yao on my back, and began to walk slowly in the direction of the house.
Shoulders, suddenly a little wet.
I turned my face and saw that the girl was already asleep, with long eyelashes, trembling slightly, and crystal tears flowing out, muttering softly "I'm sorry......
I don't know who she's sorry for, but the girl's appearance at this moment can't help but remind me of a book called "Xuan Lingzhi" that my father told me when I was a child.
In that book, there are many spirits in the world, among which there is a wind and snow elf, silver hair, white as snow, often appears in heavy snowy days, when the sky is compassionate, will make prayers with both hands, shed tears, tears turned into the purest pearls......
And the fairy in the mountain is not more concerned about the pearl, but after the elf cries, the appearance of the pitiful and shy flowers in the closed moon.
I couldn't help but look at Chen Yao a few more times, until the girl frowned, then she turned her head, and the corners of her mouth hooked up a touch of arc.
Who says a smile can fall for a city?
*
Since the end of the strange teacher-student banquet, there are less than seven days left before Xu Chunlai asks for debts and the river god Wei Gong comes to marry.
Since Chen Yao used the "sword" hidden in the bamboo pole, the spirit of the whole person seemed to have been hit again, lying on the bed, sleeping for two days, even if he woke up, he was listless and tired.
During this time, Tian Qi was surprisingly silent, he didn't talk to me much, he didn't play games anymore, and he always walked outside alone, looking at the sky.
I thought he was pretending to be deep and trying to hook up with a few passing girls who were not deeply involved in the world to come over and talk to him...... In fact, there were indeed girls who came up to talk to her, but Tian Qi either ignored them or refused with a smile.
This style is really very different from the usual bohemian and uninhibited him.
I think he must be hiding something from me.
In the next few days, all kinds of strange visions of heaven and earth appeared......
In September, the scorching heat begins with a sudden drop in temperature, hail and finally snow falling like goose feathers.
The people of the town, from T-shirts, skirts, shorts, changed into winter down jackets, cotton clothes, cotton pants.
No one patronizes the popsicle shop, no one goes down to frolic in the lake, the hanging pot shop is doing a hot business, and the young lady's white thighs can no longer be seen on the street.
Not only is it the eerie snow of September, but the climate has also become extremely gloomy, with strong winds howling, ghosts crying wolves, and at night, there are also the cries of unknown beasts, which are not like roaring but more like wailing.
As if smelling an unusual sign, most of the townspeople chose to hide at home, rarely went out, and even the school had an unprecedented week-long vacation......
*
Abandoned vocational high school.
Female dormitory 404.
A female ghost in red makeup, sitting on the windowsill, her legs swaying back and forth, her pale but poignant side face, looking at the starry sky in a daze.
Not long after, a meteor fell, and it was fleeting.
The female ghost's face slowly shed a stream of tears.
Only this time, it is finally no longer the blood and tears shed for the negative people.
*
Back in the mountains, in the deep pool.
A low whining sound sounded in the water.
Crash!
The boy surfaced, tears in his eyes, his clothes soaked, and he didn't know whether it was tears or the water in the pool.
He cried and called his mother and sister's names.
This Yin Spirit, who once turned into a pen fairy and returned home to guide his sister, finally understood his next fate when this vision of heaven and earth appeared......
He cried because he missed it, and he was even more afraid that when he saw his mother and sister again in the future, he would kill them because he lost his mind......
Crash!
Another figure emerged, the same culprit who dragged him into the water and killed him in the first place.
The old man looked to be in his seventies, but he was actually two hundred years old.
Of course, it may not be appropriate to describe it as age, because as early as two hundred years ago, when the old man was still a horse thief, he and a group of companions ransacked the town, and finally was hacked to death by a righteous butcher, thrown into this barren waterhole, and turned into the most insidious and lowly water ghost.
So, the old man has been waiting for an opportunity.
A chance to be reborn.
Now, the opportunity has finally arrived, and it is the young man in front of him - Komatsu.
"Cry a fart, when Lao Tzu is gone, you can rightfully become the real water ghost of this waterhole, this kind of great joy, how many lonely souls and wild ghosts can't ask for it, you still fucking cry?"
The old man scolded impatiently.
The young man choked up and said, "I don't want to be a water ghost, I just want to go back to see my mother...... Or, let me be reincarnated and be his son in the next life. ”
The old man sneered: "Do you think that after reincarnation, you can do it if you want to be someone's son?" If you're unlucky, it's not impossible to fall into the way of the beast...... Listen to the old man's words, stay in this waterhole honestly, and maybe be lucky, a hundred years, or a thousand years later, like the old man, to be the little god of a river. ”
The young man stopped talking, but the old man suddenly made a boo gesture to signal him to shut up.
Then the old man turned and looked at a figure not far away.
The figure was wearing golden armor, holding a spear, and was more than one meter tall and in his early nines, and his whole momentum was majestic and unstoppable.
"Lord River God."
The old man hurriedly came out of the water and said respectfully.
Commander Jin Armor waved his hand and said, "I still like others to call me Commander Wei." ”
The old man smiled, and his gesture was flattering.
Wei Quan glanced at the crying young man in the water, and couldn't help frowning: "Are you sure this kid can inherit your mantle?" ”
"If you can't do it, you have to do it, now it's time to catch the ducks on the shelves...... After all, in three days, it will be the fate-seeking conference, and the opportunity cannot be missed. The old man laughed.
Wei Quan said coldly: "I'll say okay first, if you go to my place, you won't be able to become Hebo right away, I have to see your performance...... Well done, ten years later, you will naturally ascend to the top, do not do well, continue to roll back as a water ghost, make Lao Tzu angry, but don't blame me for letting you go up in smoke! ”
The old man said with sincere fear: "Lord River God, don't worry, I will definitely do my duty." ”
"Alright, let's do something quickly." Wei Quan said impatiently.
"Yes."
The old man turned and looked at the boy forestedly.
The young man's already pale face was even more ugly, and he shouted "don't" in his mouth, and jumped into Tan Low in a panic.
"Hey, hey, the guy who hasn't grown his hair yet...... In the water, you think you can escape the palm of my hand? ”
The old man laughed strangely, and jumped into Tanzhong, and in just a few breaths, he caught the boy and grabbed the boy's hair.
But I saw that in the heart of the old man's eyebrows, a black gas filled the air, which continued to enter the young man's body.
"No, don't-"
The boy struggled in pain.
In the end, the young man's eyes, which were still bright, were clouded by the black gas, and his childish face gradually became fierce and hideous.
Two water spirits resurfaced.
The old man looked at the young man and said in a serious tone: "From today on, you Gao Song is the official water ghost of this waterhole...... Unless you find the next more suitable stand-in, you can't leave this pool easily, understand? ”
"Yes." The boy's face was dull, and his voice was like that of a robot, and he was emotionless.
The old man turned around and looked at the golden-armored commander with a flattering smile: "River God, look ......"
"Let's go."
Wei Gong nodded, took out a sign from his arms, and threw it to the old man.
The old man was overjoyed and thanked him repeatedly.
Not long after, the old man, who had just been promoted to apprentice Hebo, left here side by side with the river god Wei Gong.
In the back mountain, in the cold and secluded waterhole, only Komatsu, a lonely boy who has just become an official water ghost, is left at this moment.
The young man's cold eyes watched the two of them go farther and farther away until they disappeared, and then slowly sank into the pool......
*
The chubby house next door.
10:45 a.m.
The old lady went to bed early, and had been lying in bed and falling asleep two hours earlier.
Xiaopang, who usually has the habit of eating supper, did not eat supper for the first time today, but stood at the door, looking at the heavy snow that kept drifting outside, thoughtfully.
In the lower abdomen, there was a sudden colic.
A cold sweat flowed from the little fat forehead, touched his stomach, and smiled as if he was talking to himself: "Oh, you said that in three days, it will be my chance to turn over?" ”
"Actually, life is pretty good now...... But Xiaoqing, don't worry, no matter where I go, I will definitely take you with me. ”
"Unless I die......"
*
White shop.
Sitting in front of the computer, playing a game called "Plants vs. Zombies", Tian Qi was about to clear the level, when suddenly there was a "click", and the keyboard cracked half without warning.
Tian Qi frowned and continued.
Syllable!
Then, the mouse's cord was broken......
Tian Qi looked helpless, so he had to stop his movements, glanced at the dim sky outside the window, and said with self-deprecation: "You have to be in such a hurry, can't you wait one more day?" ”
The answer to him was a display that was directly broken into several segments......
“…… Damn, are you annoying, so anxious to let me go to the sky, there is a kind of thunder that you split the sky down? Tian Qi was so angry that he jumped to his feet and scolded.
In the sky, there was a faint flash of lightning.
Tian Qi's face changed, and he said with a smile: "Hey, I'm just joking, why don't you have any sense of humor?" Although these nine thunderstorms can't hurt me, there are other people living in this house. ”
Seeing that the weather gradually stabilized, Tian Qi breathed a sigh of relief, scolded "aggrieved" in his mouth, and then took out his mobile phone and dialed a number:
"Hello? Brother Ding, don't fall asleep, come with me for a drink! ”
After making this call, Tian Qi stood up, glanced at the girl who was "pretending to be asleep" on the curtain bed next door, smiled slightly, did not expose it, and walked out of the store.
