Chapter 010: Blood-Red Eyes in the Portrait!
I'm sorry!
I knelt down and looked at the little boy who didn't respond, and at this time, it seemed that I couldn't do anything but silently say sorry.
Although I did not kill people with my own hands, the guilt in my heart did not decrease but increased.
Although it has not yet been completely confirmed that the source of all this is because I have violated the taboo, but after thinking about it, it seems that there is no other reason to explain this matter perfectly than this explanation.
Since the day I became sensible, the master has been whispering in my ears and instructing me that no matter what kind of situation I am in, I must not violate the taboo, otherwise the consequences will be unimaginable.
I used to wonder what the consequences of breaking the taboo would be.
Sometimes I even have a bold idea that I want to try.
But whenever I want to try, I can't help but think of the way my master told me, serious, solemn, and serious.
So I never dared to try.
Now, I've tried.
But the price is too great, too heavy.
If I had known that it would be such a consequence, that so many people would be killed, I would not dare at all, and I would never have violated the taboo.
It's a pity that I know now that it's too late.
Watching the woman holding the little boy who had already lost his breath and crying non-stop, watching Boss Huang kneel on the side, looking demented and constantly muttering, after a few seconds, I felt a layer of mist covering my eyes, and then, two lines of tears came out of my eyes.
For as long as I can remember, this is the first time I've shed tears.
In the past, no matter how much I suffered, no matter how much I was wronged, I could survive it, but this time, I found that I couldn't do it, although I knew that it was a very cowardly thing for a man to shed tears, but now only tears can make my heart a little better.
At this time, there was only one person in my mind.
Master!
I immediately took out my mobile phone and called the master, and as before, after the ringtone rang a few times, the master on the other side of the phone was connected.
In the same ending, as soon as the phone was connected, the master scolded him.
After the master finished scolding, I said in a crying voice: "Master, I have broken the taboo and died... A lot of people died. ”
The originally angry master heard me say that I had violated the taboo, and also mentioned that many people had died, and the tone of his voice immediately changed, and I was surprised that I thought that the master would be furious when he knew that I had violated the taboo, after all, he had told me so many times, and I actually committed it.
But who knew that the master not only did not get mad, but asked in a more gentle tone: "Where are you now?" ”
"I'm at Boss Huang's house in the county seat." I hastened to answer.
"A well-known philanthropist in the county, Huang Kun?"
"Hmm."
"Don't be afraid, the master will be here soon."
"Okay."
After hanging up the phone, probably because I learned that the master was coming soon, my heart finally calmed down, but when my eyes swept to the rest of the living room, I became uneasy again.
The corpses all over the ground, the dead and the little monk were undoubtedly bleeding to death with their eyes wide open, and it was obvious that at the moment before they died, they were frightened by something terrible.
On top of that, I also saw the maid sister who had medicated and bandaged me before, and she was not spared.
I bit my lip tightly, and my body kept shaking.
After a long time, I suddenly remembered the second brother, so I quickly looked back at the second brother in the corner, and when I saw that he could still move and get up from the ground, I was immediately relieved.
I couldn't save the others, but I finally saved the second brother.
If I hadn't even saved my second brother, I would have collapsed on the spot.
At this time, the Taoist priest took the little Taoist priest to Boss Huang and stopped, then touched the mustache and said: "Boss Huang, this Dao has tried its best, but it still failed to save this little boy, I really can't help it." ”
Huang Kun obviously couldn't stand such a heavy blow, and he didn't react at all for a while, but fortunately, it didn't take long for him to react, then he got up and immediately opened a check and handed it to the Taoist priest and said: "Daoist Li, this time it's thanks to you, otherwise even I would..."
Huang Kun didn't finish his words, but what he wanted to say was already self-evident.
Indeed, if Huang Kun only invited the two monks, one big and one small, today, but did not invite Daochang Li, I am afraid that everyone here today would not be spared except me.
"Collecting money from people and eliminating disasters for others is the purpose of this way, and it is also the fate of you and me." The Taoist priest accepted the check with a clear conscience and looked at me, and then said: "Little brother, this is just the beginning for you, you still have a long way to go, this way is optimistic about you, don't let this way down, you know?" ”
I looked at him with a puzzled expression.
Because I don't quite understand what he means by that.
"It doesn't matter if you don't understand now, because someone will make you understand." After speaking, the Taoist priest left with the little Taoist priest.
I kept my eyes on the back of the Taoist priest.
I had a vague feeling that he and I would see each other again.
"I almost forgot."
The Taoist priest suddenly stopped, then looked back at me and said, "Don't forget your bet with Bendao. ”
Leaving this sentence, before I could speak, the Taoist priest left with the little Taoist priest.
After a long time, I got up from the ground, and then stared blankly at the door of the living room, everything that happened today is unimaginable to ordinary people, I need time to digest slowly.
About fifteen minutes later, a man of about forty or fifty years of age walked into the living room with a hurried look and a windy walk, he was dressed in colorful clothes and wore a colorful round-brimmed hat on his head.
When I saw this very fashionable man, my cheeks suddenly swelled and my nose was slightly sore, and my eyes moistened before he even walked in front of me.
When he stopped in front of me, my tears flowed out of my eyes like a kite with a broken string.
He stopped and looked at me.
I looked at him with tears in my eyes.
After a few seconds, I choked up and shouted, "Master." ”
He is my master, his name is Wang Fusheng, don't look at him like a middle-aged man about forty years old, in fact, he is sixty-four years old, which is equivalent to an old man. It's just that I don't know why, his appearance hasn't changed at all in the past ten years, and he doesn't look like an old man who is about to approach seventy at all.
My dad wasn't as old as my master, but if they were standing together, others would think they were brothers.
"What's wrong with the foot?"
When the master arrived, he turned a blind eye to the corpses all over the ground, looked unafraid, and then the first thing he said was not to scold me like usual, but to look at my injured right foot and calf and ask in distress.
I was stunned.
In fact, I am ready to be scolded and even beaten by the master, after all, the mistake I made this time is too serious, even unforgivable.
But the master didn't scold me, didn't beat me, and still cared about me.
"Scared silly? Can't say anything? ”
Hearing the master's question, I quickly shook my head and said, "Master, I'm not stupid. ”
"Answer me if you're not stupid."
I nodded, and then told the master the ins and outs in a short sentence, and after the master listened, I looked left and right, and I saw that the master seemed to be looking for someone, so I asked, and the master asked me where the Taoist priest had gone.
I said I left almost twenty minutes ago.
The master frowned at first, then nodded again, then looked at Huang Kun and said, "Boss Huang, please lead the way, I want to take a look at Madame's body." ”
"It's on the second floor, your apprentice has been there, I don't want to see her, let your apprentice take you to see it." After Huang Kun finished speaking, he helped the woman who had been crying until there were no tears to the sofa, and the woman always held the little boy and refused to let go.
At this time, the master looked at me.
I hurriedly took the master up to the second floor, and when I opened the door to the master bedroom, I saw the fat monk.
The fat monk sat cross-legged on the ground, holding a string of Buddhist beads in his hand, and his death was exactly the same as that of the little monk and the servants.
Maybe I experienced too many strange things today, and my fear nerves were a little numb, or maybe it was because the master was by my side, so when I saw the fat monk sitting motionless on the ground with seven orifices bleeding, I wasn't as scared as before.
"Go and get the portrait on the table." The master said, pointing to the framed portrait on the bedside table.
I hurried over, and when I saw the picture in the frame, my heart pounded, and my face was even more shocked. I personally painted this portrait for Huang Kun and his wife, but only one kind of pigment is used to paint the portrait, so why are the eyes of this portrait blood-red?
I was about to ask the master why he was like this, but he moved his lips and said four words.
"Burn it."
