Chapter 16: Escape from Death
Where is this? Hades? How do you feel so unenergetic, I'm really dead, my neck hurts just now, but now my neck doesn't feel it, hmm, it's dark all around, huh? Why didn't a ghost send me to show the way? Where am I going? "Ah, my ears are about to be deafened, hurry up and pluck my ears, huh?" I rolled to the left, and I, my hand, ahh......h Rolled to the right again, no, I seem to be going to do something, to report? To reincarnate? Why do I want to run up the mountain, although I am a snake now, but I also feel that there is something in my lower abdomen that wants to drill out, I really want to go up the mountain, I really want to feel that the mountain will not be weak, follow the feeling, "Bang bang bang-" was blown up along the way and my ears were ringing.
Do people have to be bombed all the way to report? It seems that the sound of firecrackers in the yang world, oh, the underworld is also fashionable this, no, a wave of energy in the lower abdomen is about to rush to the head, I feel weaker and weaker, and my eyes are becoming more and more unclear, hurry up and swim, strange, I obviously can't swim, so I naturally swim in one direction, death is wonderful! I swam to a patch of grass, and there was a road over there! Although it doesn't seem to be very well repaired, go up and try it, the thin stones rubbing against the stomach are very comfortable, and suddenly there is a noise...... I pricked up my ears with tinnitus...... The sound of wheels, is there a car in the underworld? I had to swim out of the road as soon as possible, but it was so hard to get up and so tired that I couldn't swim, and my legs were ...... No...... It's a pain in the tail, I turn around, it's a spotted yellow snake!
I saw it biting my tail and dragging me back, I don't want to go back, I finally swam over, don't drag me, then I don't know where the strength came from, I struggled to swim forward, I want to cross the road, I want to pass! Let go of my tail, suddenly, the car is near, let go of me, I'm going to swim over! Don't drag me back! Yes! The car is coming! The pull suddenly increased, and half of my snake body was dragged into the grass, and I rushed over again, squeaking...... Suddenly, a wheel rolled over my body, and the pain was heartbreaking, why...... Why does it hurt so much to die? I actually saw myself floating out of the snake's body, the snake's whole body glowed with white light, which was particularly dazzling in the dark night, and a white band of light chased from its body into the car that was going away, and its eyes bulged out, and I also saw the spotted yellow snake, which was still biting its tail, and its eyes were wet, and it stayed there......
Suddenly the pain was all transferred to my neck, ah, it really hurt, I floated in the air and covered my neck, ah, I changed back to human form, it hurt, it hurts, it hurts, I get up from the bed, this is my room.
"Xuanzi!" My grandmother rushed over and hugged me, crying all over the place. "Why are you so willful! So disobedient! What do you do with your own milk? Ah......h
I also cried: "Grandma." "As soon as I breathed, my throat hurt greatly, I touched my neck, hissed, the painful hand shrank, I didn't die, how could I not die? I'm ...... Geezer!
"Grandma, why didn't I die? I'm not ......" Granny reached out and slapped me on the body.
"You want your grandmother to die, don't you? The family grandmother does not expect to live for a few more years! You're so uneasy! I don't want to have milk, right......" After speaking, I cried again, my tears couldn't be kept, and the two of them hugged and cried together.
"Okay, okay, can you grandparents stop first?" It's an old man! What an old man! Didn't the old man come home yesterday? Could it be that his conscience finally found out that he went to school to collect ghosts again, happened to run into me who hanged me, and then saved me again? The old man is actually not so cold-blooded, but he doesn't show it on the surface.
I tried to keep my voice as low as I could, and asked the old man, "Why did you go to school last night?" โ
The old man snorted, "It's not because of you! I've already been on the road, and I have nothing to do for you, but I didn't expect to waste a night! There's still a big business today, and that kid is on top of it, but before you wake up, your grandmother won't let go, and now I can be considered on the road. "Want to leave without finishing your sentence? No way!
"Old man, tell me everything that happened last night, otherwise you won't be able to go." It feels good to threaten people, especially a master like the old man, but his hoarse voice is a bit sparkling.
The old man snorted, "Hmph, no one dares to threaten me, it's still a little girl with a grudge on her neck." โ
"You ......" hiss~ Neck hurts, forget it, don't care, you'll have to stay by yourself later, "The female ghost told me something last night, although I didn't believe it at first, but she didn't like to lie anymore......"
The old man slapped the table, I thought he was going to get angry again, but he sat down, "Let the thick ink exercise more, there will be such a scene in the future, don't be in a hurry." โ
The grandmother wiped her tears, "I'll go to the kitchen to boil water, you talk slowly." Before leaving, he hit me, "I was confused by the female ghost, what do you remember!" Don't believe it! "Ahh
"You say it first, and then I'll tell you, what happened last night?" I prescribe the conditions.
The old man said complainingly, "Yesterday afternoon I was in the car and wanted to go to the toilet. โ
I sweated and knocked on the edge of the bed, "Hey, hey, hey, get to the point!" Do you believe it or not, I'll say in a moment that female ghosts will talk about it from last year? โ
"The point is that I'm idle! I'm not idle, I won't think about it for you, depending on your mood and listening to the boredom, even if I calculate whether there is any fun recently, I didn't expect that a calculation is a life-threatening event! I got out of the car and rushed back, you are still in school, and I thought about the school you said, and then I felt that the school, the doorman of your school is really ......"
"Focus."
"I climbed over the wall into your school, and when I saw that the evil qi was very heavy in the northwest, I rushed to the northwest, and the place where the evil qi gathered was a courtyard, and I climbed into it again." That one...... The courtyard door can be pushed open......
"I look inside, it's really happy for me, it's been a long time since I've had such a stupid ghost, the evil spirit is all in one room, it's very heavy, but if it's broken, it's broken."
"You mean the house where I got into trouble?"
"yes, this house looks like it's been dead for a few days." Just ...... Just died?! Won't it be...... Ahhh
"As soon as I entered the door, I saw a dried duck hanging from it." Talking about me? Isn't the old man sarcastic, and people go bald?
"The female ghost is pulling your legs, and when she sees me, she pounces, so I take her in." Pull my legs, huh...... It's disgusting, I put my foot away in disgust, and find that the old man has stopped, gah? Nothing? I took it...... It's that simple? What about the process?
"Tell me how you collected it, I'm so curious."
"I only accept one disciple of thick ink." Gotta sรจ! I didn't say I wanted to recognize you as a master, I just wanted to learn to collect ghosts!
"Now it's your turn, what did the female ghost say? What did you believe? Can you believe the words of the devil? You don't remember how you were tricked into hanging! "The ghost didn't say anything, he just taught me how to die, and it seemed that he was going to say something innocuous about it.
"The female ghost said, I am a snake fairy, you want to suck my vitality, old man, is it true? Do I really have energy to breathe? โ
The old man's expression moved, "Nonsense, who doesn't have vitality, don't listen to female ghosts, that's it, I thought there was something else nonsense, I'm leaving, you also suffered a lot of losses this time, and you learned a lesson, I won't scold you anymore, let's go." Then he got up and left.
"Wait."
The old man stopped and looked at me, "I don't know if it's a soul left, anyway, I've had several dreams, and I have a strong feeling that it's the memory of my evil snake, but I clearly feel that it happened to me, is it that the snake is getting heavier and heavier?" Is this a good thing or a bad thing? โ
The old man touched his nose, "Let it be." "Why did I just ask so much nonsense?
"I was blown up by firecrackers in my dream, and it's still a little weird! How can you say that dreams are ......?"
The old man suddenly pinched my chin with one hand, "Open your mouth." "Got something to eat? Will you give a legendary elixir or something? I opened my mouth, and the old man lifted my chin and hissed...... Almost bit your tongue and didn't eat? Playing tricks on me again!
"Just move your chin yourself, but you don't need to use your hands yourself, show me the movement." Moving the jaw? How to move? I moved my jaw,.
"It's not a fight between the upper and lower teeth, just move up and down, left and right, just a few hundred or thousands of times." Old man, you are fixing me, don't you know how to dislocate?
The old man smiled, "Haha, Xiao Xuanzi, I'll tease you, no less than a hundred times." I've got to really leave this time, or Thick Ink will hate the snake demon even more. "It's thick ink again......
I have experienced life and death nights, I have slept very restlessly, and almost all my dreams are about snakes, and I seem to be able to feel the mosquitoes outside the tent, how many of them are there, which direction they fly, and which corner they land. I pulled the collar to make sure that I was completely covered with the strangulation marks before I was relieved, I was absent-minded all the way, the closer to winter, the later the dawn was getting late, my grandmother sent me on the road, until the end of the dirt road, I didn't let her send it, she just stood in place, and the light illuminated me. How many times I turned around, my grandmother kept the same position. The wind was a little dry, I stuck out my tongue and licked my lips, and the world around me immediately turned black and white, leaving only a few bits of light, and it felt very clear, ah, I was startled, and when I looked at it, it was back to its original state, and what happened to my eyes?
