Chapter 10 Death is also to go
Standing up, I knelt on the ground in front of him and kowtowed three times.
"My name is Du Qing, you can call me Du Ge in the future." Du Qing took out a red plum from the shriveled cigarette case and handed it to me: "Do you know how to smoke?" β
I took it, lit it on the fire, took a deep breath, and then choked and coughed.
"Mind telling me what's going on?" Du Qing extinguished the cigarette, pulled a grass stalk from the ground and stuffed it into his mouth.
I came to my senses, cigarette in one hand, and told him stories about what had happened to me these days.
I spoke very slowly, Du Qing listened without saying a word, and after listening to him, he sighed lightly and scolded: "This son of a bitch's life." β
As he spoke, he seemed to remember something, and hurriedly said, "You said that the dragon soul was almost completely lost?" β
I stiffened and nodded.
"You shouldn't have let her go." Du Qing's face was solemn, and said: "She doesn't know anything now, I'm afraid she has forgotten that Jiangli is her home, she will only look for you, keep looking, look aimlessly, and if she encounters someone with ulterior motives, she will be very dangerous." β
I blinked, and then quickly stood up and chased in the direction where the dragon girl left, but I didn't find her until dawn, I wanted to continue looking, but there was a plop behind me, and I turned around to find that Du Qing had fainted.
At this time, I remembered that he had also rushed from Hei Province day and night, and the rice had not been exhausted in the past two days, so I carried him back to the Dragon King Temple in a hurry.
Throwing Du Qing on the bed, I asked the old man to boil some rice porridge and feed it to him, and then regardless of the old man's inquiry, I raised my legs and was about to go out, but the old man grabbed me and slapped me hard.
"Are you scared?!" The old man yelled.
I covered my face and stared blankly at him for a moment.
The old man's appearance at this time was very terrifying, his face was hideous, his eyes were red, I saw him bring a mirror, and then held it up in front of me, and scolded: "You don't say anything when you ask you, look at your current appearance!" β
I looked at me in the mirror in a daze, my eyes were red and swollen, my eyes were horribly red, my face was gray and there were some grass stalks, and my hair was like a dog's gnaw, bald a lot, which was a little shocking at first glance.
The old man looked at me for a long time, and finally said to me in a gentle tone: "You don't want to say what happened, I don't ask you, you are fine, you go to wash your face and eat a meal first, and then sleep when you are done, and take care of your spirit, so that you can have the energy to do what you want to do, do you say what I said is right?" β
At this moment, my nose was a little sore, I nodded and didn't say anything, I went out and washed my face, fed Du Qing some rice porridge during dinner, and then went to bed for a while, and went out when it was close to noon.
Du Qing didn't follow me when he went out this time, because he was very weak now, and he hadn't even woken up yet, and I didn't plan to look for it aimlessly when I went out alone, but walked to the river alone.
I don't know if the dragon girl has returned to the river, but if she does, even if she doesn't, I can ask the old dragon king if there is a way, it is better than a person to go around like a headless fly.
But when I came to the river, staring at the river where the boats were coming and going, I was stunned for a while before I realized the problemβI didn't know how to contact the old dragon king.
I waited stupidly until the afternoon, and it was getting dark, and no one came up to talk to me.
I couldn't wait, I saw that there was no one around and shouted at the river, I kept an eye on it, I didn't call the old dragon king, I was afraid that people would hear it and think I was a fool, I shouted the name of the dragon girl, Long Ling.
However, he shouted until his voice was hoarse and he couldn't say a complete word, and no one appeared on the river.
I think that Jiang Longwang has great powers, and he shouldn't know that I'm here, but if he doesn't come out, he just doesn't want to see me.
Already, I'm so disappointed......
I went back to the Dragon King Temple and wanted to ask the old man to help me, he was the temple blessing of the Dragon King Temple, maybe the old Dragon King would look at his face and ignore me.
However, before I could reach the backyard, as soon as I entered the door, I saw the old man standing in the room, smoking a dry cigarette, and on the ground in front of him lay the head of the idol that was supposed to be worshiped on the stage.
"What's going on?" I asked the old man in some surprise.
The old man turned to look at me and asked me if I had just gone to the river, and I nodded without telling him.
"Alas...... Don't know what you've done. The old man sighed and said, "This temple is dead, and the old dragon king would rather incense than have anything to do with it." β
I shook my body and almost didn't stop, turned around and ran out, until I reached the river, and I plunged into the water.
My idea was simple, he didn't see me, so I went to him, but after I got into the water, I remembered something.
I don't know how to water......
I tried to swim up, but my hands and feet fluttered and I couldn't float, my body kept sinking, and as I struggled, the little oxygen in my lungs was depleted, and my mind couldn't help but sink a little.
I thought a lot at this moment, guilty, relaxed, but not afraid.
Maybe it's better to die, so that I can go to Liu Rushuang for revenge, the only sorry may be my parents and the old man, but it doesn't matter, even if I become a ghost, I can support them in their old age......
However, just as I was in the midst of confusion, a pair of hands held me up from below and arched me onto the shore on the beach.
I spat a few mouthfuls of water, looked up and looked into the water, where there was a head, pale and swollen, and although it was scary, I was a little happy.
Because this is the leader who came to the Dragon King Temple that day to propose marriage.
"What about the dragon spirit? Is she back? I hurriedly asked it.
It shook its head, its shrill voice with a hint of resentment: "The princess has not returned yet. β
"Does the old dragon king know where she went?"
"Yes, but why should I tell you?"
"I'll go get her back."
"Find it back, and then continue to plague my princess."
A conversation pierced my heart with blood.
"Please...... Tell me. I was half-lying on the ground, lowered my head and whispered, "I know I'm a waste, I'm sorry for the dragon spirit, but please, give me a chance to make amends, okay?" Please. β
The head floating on the water was silent for a long time, and said: "Go back, don't come again, even if you want to die, don't die in the river, the dragon lord said that it will dirty the water here." β
Hearing this, I stood up and said loudly: "If you don't tell me, I will come every day in the future, jump into the river every day, and annoy you to death!" β
As soon as he said this, it really stopped, and after a while, it suddenly nodded and said, "The Dragon Lord said, since you are so determined, go to the village in the south alone, and live in the courtyard outside the east of the village for three days, and if you can come back alive after three days, the Dragon Lord will tell you where the princess has gone." β
With that, it dived straight down.
I stood there and thought about it, the village to the south......
There are not many nearby villages, and the one in the south should refer to the corpse removal village.
The corpse digging village is inhabited by some corpse collectors like Li Ruxian, Li Ruxian is said to have lived there originally, but later moved here after quitting.
Because the corpse collection village is full of corpses at every turn, and the smell of corpses can be smelled from far away in the village in the summer, so people in the neighborhood will warn their children not to go near there since childhood, and I have only seen some corpse collectors from afar, and I have never entered the corpse collection village.
Because I wasn't familiar with it, I didn't go over immediately, I guessed that the Dragon King didn't want me to come back alive, so I had to be cautious, it was naturally better to find the dragon spirit alive than to find the dragon spirit after death.
When he returned to the Dragon King Temple and found the old man, he didn't react at first when he heard that I was going to the corpse village, but as soon as he heard that it was the one at the east end of the village, his face immediately changed.
"Lord Long said you have to let you go by yourself?" After a while, the old man asked me.
I nodded.
"Don't go." The old man waved his hand, turned around, and said, "It just wants you to die." β
I was silent for a moment, and said that I would go to death.
The old man stood up and said that he was going to talk to my mother, and I said that if he dared to go to my mother, I would go right now.
The old man raised his head to hit me, but he couldn't help but be stunned when he saw that my face had not changed, and then put down his hand: "Your mother is just a child of you." β
I rubbed my sour nose, bowed my head and said:
"I know, but I have to go, Master Li, there are some debts that I have to pay even if I take my life."
