Chapter 3: Ear for God

It was a whole week since the thunderstorm that day when the locust trees were felled.

Yuan Changliu, as the apprentice of the old Fang head, settled in the Fang family.

During this week, Yuan Changliu was taken to the best hospital in the county to see a foot injury. The doctor said that whether there will be a root cause of the disease in the end depends on the recovery. In fact, after the thunderstorm that day, Yuan Changliu was convinced of the old man's words and was ready to become a cripple. However, the old man said that although he would be lame, he still had to take care of it. At the very least, when walking, don't be too obvious.

Every night, Lao Fangtou would take out a clay pot, take out a black lump of mud inside, and put it on Yuan Changliu's ankle. According to the old man, this is an external injury medicine made of a medicinal herb that grows in the water of the Xuan Styx River, although Yuan Changliu's feet cannot be cured, but with this medicine, it is obvious that the most qi code will not be lame.

Originally, Yuan Changliu was still thinking about whether to go to the hospital to treat his ears, but he went to the mountains to cut down locust wood before, and was deaf by the locust wood essence, so he simply went to the hospital this time to watch it together. But the old man disagreed, and had to wait a long time.

So, Yuan Changliu went to the county hospital after a lot of waste, and only treated the injury on his foot and came back.

When he returned to Yangjia Village, the old man didn't have the ears to govern Yuan Changliu, and Yuan Changliu didn't ask too much. However, my life has been affected.

At first, Yuan Changliu was even a little desperate, he felt that to be this ferryman, do you have to be deaf to be a ferryman?

But then, he found that he began to hear a strange sound in the dark. At first, the sound was very noisy, and Yuan Changliu couldn't sleep for several nights. Only in the morning will the sound in the ears disappear.

The old man saw that he was really tortured, so he went up to Hutou Mountain again, and when he came back, he had a few more leaves of the locust tree in his hand. He clumped the leaves of the locust tree into small balls. When Yuan Changliu wanted to sleep, he stuffed this small ball into Yuan Changliu's ears. In this way, the long stream will not be able to hear those noisy sounds.

As time passed, it was late autumn in the blink of an eye.

Although it is late autumn, the temperature in Yangjiayu is still quite high.

Yuan Changliu went to the hospital again, and the doctor removed the splint for him. Then he regretfully told him that although he had recovered, he still left the root of the disease.

To the doctor's surprise, the little boy in front of him was not surprised at all.

When Yuan Changliu tried to recover, he could find that his right foot was a little weak. If you look closely, you can see that the walking posture is still different from ordinary people. Fierce running in the future is not possible. But fortunately, I was walking and was not too affected.

By the time I returned to Yangjia Village from the hospital, it was already dark.

Yang Dashu, who was responsible for taking Yuan Changliu to see a doctor, scolded and walked home in the dark along the way.

Yuan Changliu walked behind him, and at the beginning, Yang Dashu was leading in front, and Yuan Changliu could finally see the way clearly. Who knew that after Yang Dashu arrived home, he didn't mean to send Yuan Changliu home, so he said something in his mouth and left Yuan Changliu's side quickly.

However, Yuan Changliu was deaf because of his ears, and he couldn't hear at all. He shouted, but saw that Yang Dashu didn't go back and walked faster.

Yuan Changliu sighed in his heart, and could only go home a little by himself, Yangjia Village is steep, and he will step into the ditch if he is not careful. Therefore, Yuan Changliu could only slowly use his lame foot to gently test the way forward, and only took a step when he saw that there was no problem.

At this time, it was dark night, and noisy sounds began to appear in Yuan Changliu's ears again, but Yuan Changliu had begun to get used to it. I don't know if Yuan Changliu is hallucinating, he always feels that the noise that can be heard in his ears has been getting lower and lower recently. Even sometimes, when Yuan Changliu sleeps, he doesn't need to stuff the leaves of the locust tree anymore.

Today, too, a noisy voice in the dark, like a man's whispered murmur.

Gradually, this slight sound began to fade away, but because Yuan Changliu was concentrating on discrediting walking, he didn't notice the change.

Until, suddenly, he heard a very pleasant sound.

"At 2 o'clock ahead, there is a deep ditch, please move to the left." The voice was indistinguishable from a man or a woman, and it had a resemblance to the voice made by the locust tree spirit.

Yuan Changliu was taken aback at first, and then took a step forward in confusion. Then he widened his eyes and probed his foot slightly ahead of 2 o'clock. Yuan Changliu felt that his feet were half on the ground and half in the air. It seems that there is indeed a ditch here, and it is not shallow.

Yuan Changliu walked slightly to the left, and then he heard another voice in his ears.

"Please go straight. Arrive at your destination after 150 steps. ”

Yuan Changliu simply stopped exploring the road ahead a little bit, he remembered where this was, this deep ditch should be the one at the door of Aunt Yang, and it was also the deepest one in the village. Yuan Changliu remembered that after passing Aunt Yang's house, the road after that was basically smooth.

So Yuan Changliu sped up his speed, and silently counted his steps in his heart, until he finished 150 steps, Yuan Changliu looked to his right, and saw that in the dark, the broken door of the Fang family was in front of him. The light in the room leaked through the crack in the door and shone on Yuan Changliu's face.

Yuan Changliu knocked on the door, and then he was surprised to hear the knock.

Fang Peiyu opened the door in the house and was a little surprised to see him.

"Why did you come back alone and didn't bring a flashlight. Why do you have black liquid in your ears? Grandpa, come out and see! ”

The old man came out and saw Yuan Changliu, walked over and wiped some black liquid with his fingers, put it under his nose and asked, and then his eyes lit up and said, "I just wanted to try my luck, but I didn't expect it to happen." ”

"Master, what the hell is going on?" Yuan Changliu was also startled by the black liquid, he had been in the dark before, and he didn't see it. At this time, I realized that my collar and cheeks were full of this liquid.

"It's a kind of false ear reporting to the gods, and it should be a kind of remnant spirit. This kind of false deafness is mostly born in the ears of people who have been attacked by the sound of spirits. Although it is not as good as the real natural ear of the gods. But it's pretty good. However, the abilities of the spirits are different, the abilities of the hosts are different, and the abilities of the pseudo-ear to report to the gods are also different. How to use this false ear to report to God, you have to explore it yourself. The old man replied.

"Grandpa, if I also go to cut down the locust tree, will the goblins also deaf my ears, and will I also have ears to report God?" After Fang Peiyu heard it next to him, he was also eager to try.

Although this method does give birth to the Ear Whisper, it is not for everyone. At that time, I went with Yuan Changliu to chop down the branches of the locust tree, but I didn't hear the goblin's words, if only the lumberjacks could hear it, and there was my blood charm on the chainsaw blade at that time, so it stands to reason that I was also an accomplice. The old square head said this, squatting down and staring at Yuan Changliu carefully.

"Maybe, this Yangjiayu ferryman is really going to carry forward from your kid."

Yuan Changliu heard the words of the old man, and probably understood, this ear report god is not something that everyone can have.

Yin and Yang are extremely particular about fate and talent, and I have to say that Yuan Changliu is indeed blessed.

"Alright, you guys should go to bed quickly, it's not early." After the old man told the two, he went back to the house to sleep.

Fang Peiyu went to close the door, but found that there was a person standing at the door, and at a glance, this was not Yang Dashu.

"I said Yang Jian, what do you kid run, I said that I will take you back when I go to the toilet, why are you in a hurry alone!" Yang Dashu said and checked Yuan Changliu's whole body, and was relieved to see that there were no bruises.

"Don't make your own decisions next time, it's not a bad thing to rely on adults more." After speaking, he rubbed Yuan Changliu's head and left.

Fang Peiyu saw this scene and asked, "Why don't you wait a while, you will come back." ”

Yuan Changliu said a little aggrieved: "He probably forgot that I couldn't hear it, and it seemed that he said something when he left, but I didn't hear it." Obviously, Yang Dashu went to the hospital before after communicating with the doctor, and then wrote it on paper and told Yuan Changliu.

"It's so easy to forget. But I still know that it is not unconscionable to come back and see. Fang Peiyu said a little coldly. After speaking, he quickly closed the door and pushed Yuan Changliu to wash.

Yuan Changliu lay on the bed at night, looking at the roof, remembering Fang Peiyu's words before.

Yang Dashu actually didn't want to send himself back at first, but in the end, he couldn't stand the torture of conscience, so he found Yuan Changliu again.

Although the people of the world are in awe of the people of yin and yang, they do not necessarily like to come into contact with them. In their eyes, this person who is engaged in yin and yang trading is dealing with unknown forces after all. People are always subconsciously afraid of the unknown.

"He wasn't going to send you in the first place. That's when I got out of the way. Suddenly, the pseudo-ear voice I had heard before came out of my ears.

Yuan Changliu was taken aback and sat up suddenly.

"My name is Linglong, and I am your ear for the spirit. In the future, there is no need to open your mouth to communicate, I was born from your soul, and you and I are one. ”

Yuan Changliu just noticed that this statement of ear retribution sounded very much like another version of false ear retribution.

"The two are not the same thing, the ear is the ear, and the ear is the ear. The former is formed based on the parasite's experiential ability, and you can see it as a supernatural ability that you cultivate, which was originally generated by yourself and can be controlled freely. The latter is innate, and its power is not controlled by the parasite. ”

In his ears, Linglong's voice was not in a hurry, and he spoke slowly.

Yuan Changliu thought that since Linglong was formed by her own experience and ability, but she didn't know the difference between reporting God by ear and spirit by ear, how did she know?

As soon as Yuan Changliu finished thinking about it, Linglong immediately replied: "That's because I was born from your soul, maybe you don't know it, but your soul knows." ”

After listening to the explanation, Yuan Changliu was even more puzzled.

"It doesn't matter if you don't know now, you'll know later."

After Linglong said this, he hid. After that, no matter what Yuan Changliu was asking what this sentence meant, she didn't answer again.

Yuan Changliu sat on the bed and realized what it means to kill a cat with curiosity. Now Linglong's words have aroused his desire to explore. He simply stopped sleeping, went to the old man's study, and began to rummage through books about souls, in a vain attempt to find answers.

However, until dawn, Yuan Changliu read the explanation about the soul, and he still didn't understand it, and his mind was full of confusion.
