Chapter 2: Worship the Master
She talked alone, chatting about her happiness and troubles, until the afternoon. Pen ~ fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info saw the sunset, she slowly stood up and looked at me with a smile, "It's too late, I'm going home!" Will you still be here when I come to you in the future? ”
I shook my head, and I was trying to say that I didn't know it myself. I was originally homeless, and I don't know where I am.
She saw me shake her head, and her face leaked with frustration.
For some reason, when I saw her like this, I felt a little uncomfortable. For some reason, the ghost began to nod his head. And she began to cheer because of my nod, "Then I'll come to you later!" ”
Before leaving, she turned around, "I forgot to tell you, my name is Chu Xu. ”
I looked at her distant figure, and silently recited her name in my heart, Chu Xu.
I hadn't thought about being here, but for some reason, I decided to stay here because she said she came back to me.
There was no place to stay except for the factory, and I had to go inside the factory to see if there was a place where I could sleep.
I slipped under the chained gate and saw a ruined factory. Completely devastated, the factory exploded and was later shut down and abandoned. So the whole factory is a decadent scene, and there may be some chemicals left in some places. But as a young man, I obviously didn't know any of this, and I was bent on finding a place to stay.
Skirting the rubble piled up on the ground, I made my way to the factory as best I could. As soon as I entered the factory, I heard two old people talking, and I didn't expect that there would be people here.
"It's been so long, why is someone coming?" It was an old voice, a little weak, with a hint of surprise.
"Oh, like a child." Another old voice rang out.
"Well, it's a little beggar, I guess I stumbled into a place to shelter from the wind!"
"It's good that it's not those people, I thought we were discovered!"
"What can we do if we are discovered, we can't leave here, I just think that my dignified Meng Yuanling has paid so much for that person in his life, and in the end he has fallen into the fate of hiding in this broken factory. How sad! This voice was filled with unwillingness and grievance, as well as helplessness and endless desolation.
The other sighed in the same way, so desolate, so compassionate.
"He's here, let's change places first!"
"He can't see us again, what to change!"
I heard two old voices talking for a while, including them saying I couldn't see them.
I don't really see them, I don't see anyone in this factory at all, but I can hear what they say, I can hear everything they say. It's just that I can't see anyone.
For me and me, an abandoned factory, full of chemicals, charred bottles and rotten cans, and a few bones in some places, but most commonly, there are patches of blood.
I don't know why no one came to deal with it after the explosion, but there is no doubt about the desolate factory and the old man who can't see but can hear the conversation. It made me feel a deep fear in my heart.
"No, look at that kid, why do you keep staring at us here?"
"You mean...... Can he see? It's impossible, even the spirit pupils of yin and yang eyes can't see us, what can he see! ”
……
It's just that they don't know that I can't see it, I can hear it. In fact, if I could see me, I might not be so scared, but I heard a burst of voices but couldn't see anyone at all, and that kind of inner torment made me uncomfortable. Just like the sad cry that existed in the corner from time to time when he was under the old master, he told his pain, grievances and misery from time to time. But I couldn't see anything, so I always subconsciously imagined, which in turn brought deeper fear.
I stopped, and listened to the conversation between the two old men, who didn't seem to welcome me, but since they didn't come to chase me away, I knew that I shouldn't run to find abuse for myself, so I sat down a little further away from them.
There was a steel plate, rudimentary, but the only place where there was no blood, and I lay down there.
Soon after I lay down, I felt a cramping pain in my stomach, not up, not down, but no matter how I pressed the sore spot, it didn't relieve it in the slightest.
The pain caused me to roll back and forth on the steel plate, beads of sweat the size of beans running down my cheeks.
I clutched my stomach and tossed back and forth, and even this pain made my consciousness a little blurred, and I vaguely seemed to hear the conversation between the two old men again.
"Old ghost, you see that kid doesn't seem to be able to do it anymore!"
"Alas, after all, it's under our noses, let's go and see!"
I felt as if someone was pulling me, but the pain made me curl up and roll around, and even kick someone when I kicked my legs.
"It seems that it is acute gastroenteritis, he must be saved immediately, otherwise he will be worried about his life!" I felt someone roll my eyelids and grab my wrist, but I couldn't see anyone at all, only the old voice.
"Well, if you suffer this sin at a young age, let's save him!"
The two of them combined, I don't know exactly what method they used, but I felt like many places on my body had been pricked by needles, and there was a pain that penetrated deep into the bone marrow.
The pain was only for a moment, and it quickly turned into a numbness until I fell asleep again.
When I woke up, there were two more old men with white beards and hair, with a kind smile on their yellow faces, those wrinkles were squeezed together, but they were harmonious, and their yellowed eyes were full of pity.
I looked at them curiously, could these two people be the two people I had just talked to, but how could I see them again now? Did they save me just now?
"How's it going, kid, does it still hurt?" One of the old men asked.
Before I could answer, another old man's face instantly leaked a trace of dissatisfaction, "Old Meng, you don't believe in my medical skills, how can this kid still hurt if I make a move!" ”
The man called Lao Meng shook his head and smiled bitterly, but he was not angry at all because of the displeasure of the other old man, I think they are already very familiar!
"What's your name, kid?" The old man, who claimed to be a skilled doctor, leaned down and looked at me with a smile in his eyes. I was a little puzzled by the situation here, but seeing that there was no hostility in them, I let down my vigilance. This kind of mercy is something I have never received before.
I didn't keep quiet, maybe I wanted to answer at the time, but after being dumb for a long time, I really seemed to be a complete mute, unable to speak.
When they saw that I was silent, they did not continue to dwell on my name. He just said softly, "Child, let me ask you a question, can you nod or shake your head?"
I nodded, after all, my life was saved by others, and they had no ill will towards me, not to mention that I didn't have anything worthy of their schemes, and I was naturally willing to answer their questions.
"What about your parents?"
I shook my head, lowered my eyelids, and was silent.
"Are you a beggar, then?"
I nodded.
"Child, do you often hear or see things that others can't hear or can't see?"
I looked at them with wide eyes, and I was a little stunned that I even knew this. But then he nodded desperately, and although I couldn't see anything, it was enough to hear.
"Listen to me, you are a yin and yang body, a good physique to become a life master, we can teach you some skills to make you a life master, are you willing?" He looked at me wistfully, and there was a hint of heat in his eyes.
As if I was afraid that I didn't want to add another sentence, "Don't be afraid, if you become a life master, you don't have to suffer like now, and you will have a lot of skills in the future, are you willing?" ”
I looked at the two old men in a daze, I knew that they wanted me to agree, but should I agree? In the future, I can no longer suffer, this is nothing more than my biggest dream, if one day I can go to school like a normal child, even if I am poor, I will be very happy. But for no reason, I was still at a loss to let me have a life that I had to fantasize about in my dreams.
There is no free lunch in this world, in the past two years under the beggar leader, I have deeply felt the malice and selfishness of human instinct, no one will be good to me for no reason, but I am just a little beggar, what is worth using them?
When he saw that I was silent, he didn't urge me, but just looked at me quietly, with hope burning in his eyes. I ran away from my old master so that I could live for myself, but now that I have a chance, I may not really suffer from hunger again, but maybe I really have to give something.
I thought about it for a long time, and at the age of eight, I obviously couldn't see a lot of pros and cons and human feelings, even though I was used to seeing those dirty and dirty vulgar societies and seeing ugly human feelings. Maybe I can be much more mature than other children of the same age, but I still can't think about the cause and effect of a thing and the pros and cons like adults do. In the face of the huge temptation, even though I desperately told myself that pie would not fall from the sky, I still plunged headlong into the pool of interests without hesitation, and it was completely complete.
I nodded in agreement, the two old men were very happy, the old man surnamed Meng took my hand and gently stroked my head, his eyes were very kind and loving.
These two old men, one named Meng Yuanling and the other named Li Qiu, said that they would be my master in the future. I looked at the two old men who were enough to be my grandfather, and I couldn't help but feel a little satisfied in my heart.
Meng Yuanling taught me martial arts and some secret techniques to become a life master, while Li Qiu taught me his first-hand medical skills and some cultural knowledge and techniques.
Although I still haven't figured out why the two old people take such care of me, this kind of family-like warmth is exactly what I lack, and what I need most.
The two old men seemed to be like legendary immortals, and they didn't know where they got so many books and weapons, and they said that they would teach me well in the future.
They gave me a new set of cloth shirts, which were made from the clothes they had worn, but they were a hundred times better than the dirty, foul-smelling rags I wore now.
They brought a wooden bucket with a lot of water, bathed me very carefully, and looked at the layers of dirt and blackened water in the bucket, and the two old men smiled very happily.
The two masters told me that they were not Daluo immortals, on the contrary, they were just two lonely ghosts, but because they had been deeply cultivated, they didn't have to go to the underworld to report in a short period of time like others, and even if they stayed for a long time, there would be no problem.
They didn't tell me why they didn't want to reincarnate, they didn't tell me why they stayed in this abandoned factory forever, they told me not to tell anyone that there were people in the factory, that there were ghosts. Can't let anyone know they're here.
Since then, I have had two masters at once.
