Later, although it was bandaged, the water zombie still couldn't help but touch it when he saw the glass, and there were many glass bottles for potions in the hospital, so the bandaged gauze was often wet, and the wound never healed.

Uncle Li also felt that the monster in front of him was not the water zombie he knew, but seeing that strip-like wound was more familiar than seeing the face of the water zombie.

"How did he become like this?" I was amazed. However, this was not the time to pursue this issue, so Uncle Li and I carried it to the hut behind Uncle Li's house where farm tools were kept. If you carry it directly to his house, you are afraid of scaring his family.

Shortly after coming out of the water that night, the water zombie showed signs of a high fever, hot foreheads, skinned lips, and gibberish. Uncle Li hurriedly got a wet towel to apply it, but it didn't work at all.

"It's hot on the forehead." Uncle Li changed several towels, looked at the water zombie talking nonsense sadly, and said.

The water zombie first whined and whimpered, and after a while, it actually uttered a few words.

"Fish...... Fish...... I want to restore ...... Soul ......"

I motioned for Uncle Li to be quiet, and then leaned over to the water zombie, trying to listen to every word it spoke. But after listening to it for a long time, my legs were numb, and those words still couldn't be pieced together into a complete message. It keeps repeating words like "fish", "restoration" and "soul".

On one occasion, it really surprised me. It suddenly burst out with a complete sentence: "I want to be a man." ”

After hearing this, I immediately looked at Uncle Li.

Uncle Li happened to look sideways at me in surprise. It seemed that he was as surprised and confused as I was.

"Isn't it a man? Why do you say such a thing? I asked.

Uncle Li touched his chin and said, "That's right." I don't understand what it means. Does it want to be a man for the rest of its life? ”

I shook my head and said, "No. Who is anxious about the next in this life? ”

"So, it's going to be a man in this life? That doesn't make sense, does it? "Uncle Li walked around in the small space. The lights in the hut weren't bright, and his shadow was blurry.

There is a plough with rake teeth in the house, although the rake teeth are not sharp, but the bladed side is slightly upturned, and it looks majestic with its head held high.

I stared at the rake teeth for a moment, and suddenly it dawned on me. The water zombie said that he wanted to be a man, I'm afraid it was because it had a hidden disease that he was ashamed to talk about, right?

I didn't tell Uncle Li about this idea, the most important thing at the moment is to reduce the high fever of water zombies.

I touched the forehead of the water zombie, and the high fever only went up. If this continues, it is estimated that the water zombies will be burned and confused, and even if they are rescued, they will be even more dementia than before.

Uncle Li just removed the wet towel from the water zombie's forehead, and twisted another towel in the basin. The wrung out water ran down his fingers and dripped into the basin.

I stepped forward and snatched the towel from Uncle Li's hand and said, "This won't help." ”

"You can't look at it like this, can you?" Uncle Li is embarrassed.

With a flash of inspiration in my head, I lifted the basin and walked towards the water zombie.

"What are you going to do?" Uncle Li asked.

Without explanation, I threw a basin of water at the water zombie's head.

Uncle Li was dissatisfied: "You're going to get it cold!" ”

"It's already like this, are you still afraid of catching a cold? I guess it's not a symptom of a fever, but a sign of dehydration. I said.

For a split second before I lifted the basin, I saw the water zombie wailing with its chapped lips open as a fish struggling to come ashore.
