Chapter 49: Serious injuries are difficult to heal
readx;
?? I was so obsessed that I didn't hear my grandfather's footsteps, and the black dog didn't know where to go. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
I was horrified. Busy said, "I'm not...... You have to come up and look at it deliberately...... A mouse came up and ran up, and then the door was unlocked, and I came in......"
I told a not-so-clever lie, secretly hoping that Grandpa didn't hear it.
Grandpa said, "It's fine. I thought I was going to die in Baishui Village. It seems that this wish will not come true. You come with me to carry these jars to the yard. Let the sun bask in it, and then we'll burn them all to death with fire. Be careful not to break these jars! "
The jar wasn't big, it wasn't very heavy, I helped move it into the yard, and the sun just happened to come down and land on the jar.
"Gu worms are formed by insects killing each other. Sunlight and fire are their worst enemies. Grandpa said, "Most things in this world are afraid of sunlight and fire, such as zombie ......."
Grandpa's last voice went low. But I heard those two words anyway. Years later, I did see zombies.
The jar was left in the sun for several hours. After that, a fire broke out in the courtyard. Put all the jars on the fire.
"This is the Gu worm you worked so hard to raise, right? It's not a pity to burn to death! I asked curiously, but with a bit of schadenfreude.
I thought in my heart, since Gu insects can harm people and kill people, it is not good to stay in the world after all.
Grandpa looked at me and said, "That's not what you think in your heart." The Gu worms in the world are not necessarily bad. Most of the people who raise Gu are used to defend themselves and protect their families. Once the bad guys bully them, they will fight back. Only a small number of people use Gu worms to do bad things. "
I have been tortured by poison Gu all these years, and of course I don't agree with what my grandfather said.
I retorted, "Gu worms are bad things, not good things. I just met a bad guy, and he raised a fierce insect and put it in my body, causing me to suffer every day and not be able to sleep peacefully. "
Grandpa said: "Gu worms are good worms in the hands of good people, people who can save lives, and there are Gu doctors in Xiangxi Camellia Mountain, using Gu worms to save people." But here... In the hands of the bad guys, they will help the abuse. Gu worms are not good or bad, but people's hearts are good or bad. "
I didn't listen any further, turned and ran away.
In my opinion, grandpa must not have experienced being tortured by Gu worms before he would say such a thing. I sat on the side, my head in my hands, and watched the fire burning in the yard. The jar containing the Gu worms was burned by the flames, and the Gu worms inside would definitely not be able to escape this catastrophe.
Haw...... There was a small sound from a pile of jars, and my heart trembled, as if I was touched, and I couldn't help but cry.
I think that Gu raising must first collect poisonous insects, they are free insects in the mountains, they are caught by people, put in jars to kill each other, and the last surviving insects must be the most painful and the saddest.
Looking at the fire burning in front of me, for some reason, I felt as if my life was burning in the flames, and tears fell down my eyes.
I sat under the eaves and watched the sun sink in the west, and I felt a sense of youthful sorrow. I was afraid that my grandfather would see it and turn his head away.
In the afternoon, I drank another pair of herbs, which were a decoction boiled out of psyllium toad clothes to relieve the heat, which was cool and sweet, but it still couldn't relieve the sentimentality of Gu worms in my heart. Death in private.
In the evening, Grandpa went out to collect some herbs and dew.
I sat in front of the house, looking at the starry sky, my thoughts were chaotic, and thinking back to what had happened in the past two days felt like a dream.
That bad guy who used fake money lost his life, will it have anything to do with me?? The golden silkworm died because of me, will the Gu worm burned to death by my grandfather also have something to do with me, is the Gu good or bad?
As I pondered, a small sound came from the ashes and clay pots in the courtyard, and the tiles gradually cracked, as if something was moving.
I immediately stood up, my curiosity overcoming my fears.
I found a stick, walked forward, and gently peeled the pieces apart, and at the bottom of the one was yellow? In the color jar, there was a Gu worm that didn't seem to be dead yet, and the cry for help came from it.
What should I do, grandpa is not at home, if the Gu worm suddenly attacks me, then I will not suffer, I can't help but think to myself.
I listened to it for a while, and found that my voice was very weak, and I thought that I was already dying, and I was afraid that it would not be able to hurt me anymore.
My hand holding the wooden stick trembled a little, what kind of Gu worm would it be that survived the fire and the sun?
I'm a little soft-hearted, I can't bear to bury a creature, maybe it's like me, it's all dying, there are not many days left, why not save it. I have it with me when I die, and I can bury it when it dies.
As soon as I thought of this, I felt a sense of sympathy, as if saving the Gu worms in this fire was saving myself.
I turned around and ran into the kitchen, and after looking for a long time, I found a small bamboo tube, and wrapped it into a ball with a small piece of cloth, which could be used to plug the bamboo tube.
I cautiously returned to the ashes and shouted, "Little Gu worm, it doesn't matter where you come from. I'll put you away for the time being, don't let my grandfather find out, he'll still burn you!" Also, I saved you...... You can't bite me...... By the way, it's useless for you to bite me. My grandfather will save me. Let's talk about it. I lie on the ground and stretch out the bamboo tube, and you crawl out of the ashes and get into the bamboo tube...... Hurry, or my grandfather will come back from collecting medicine......"
I shouted for a while, but the bug didn't move. I laughed at myself in my heart, how can a Gu worm hear human words.
I could only lie on the ground patiently, holding a small bamboo tube and stretching it over, the ground was scorching, I soon sweated, and after waiting for a few minutes, the little insect began to move again.
Its body was burned by the flames, it was completely blackened, and it was black, and because of the darkness, it was impossible to see clearly, only feeling that in the darkness, there was a faint life crawling, struggling to survive.
The whole movement was slow, and after the little Gu worm entered the bamboo tube, I plugged the bamboo tube as fast as I could. The little Gu worm finally stopped crying and became stable.
Outside the house came footsteps and the barking of black dogs. I hurriedly put away the bamboo tube, put it in my pocket, greeted the gate of the courtyard, pretended to be nothing, and said, "Grandpa, what medicine did you pick up?" "
"Why do you have a black face?" Grandpa asked.
I thought to myself, I must have just fallen on the ground, stained with black ash, and lied and said, "The wind just now, and the ashes fell on my face." "
After finishing speaking, I stuck out my tongue, I told two lies in a row today, which is really a bit undeserved, but the little Gu worm was not discovered by grandpa, and I am still very happy in my heart.
Grandpa didn't care, and was busy frying herbs. After I drank the herbs, I gradually fell asleep and the whole night became very peaceful. In all these years, I haven't slept soundly like tonight. The little Gu worm in the small bamboo tube next to me didn't move.
Early the next morning, my grandfather began to get busy, digging all the fragmented jars and burying them deeply, and giving the chickens, ducks and geese in the yard to the villagers of Baishui Village. The transportation in the village is inconvenient, and many people have moved down the mountain, and there are still a few families, all of whom are old people who can't bear the pain of leaving their hometowns. Grandpa had a deep relationship with them, and after talking all morning, his eyes were already a little red when he came back.
In the afternoon, my grandfather packed a bag, hung a copper lock on the door, and took me out of Whitewater Village.
After many years, he will not return.
And the reason why the Gu worm was burned to death was because the grandfather decided to leave and never come back, the Gu worm couldn't take it away, and if he stayed, it would become a scourge, so he burned it to death with a raging fire.
"Grandpa, have you ever cried?" I asked.
"It's not a shame to cry. That Sun Dasheng traveled west to learn scriptures and cried dozens of times. I, Xiao Qi, am a bad old man, not as good as the great sage......" Grandpa said.
I nodded, as if I didn't understand. Grandpa picked up his pace and left Whitewater Village from a small road. Then take a path down the hill to the town......
The mountain road is difficult to walk, covered with weeds, and along the way, there are many centipedes, centipedes, horses, toads, and wild spiders.
When it gets dark.
We went back to the town, and instead of going home right away, we went to the river.
Grandpa said, "Let's go to the old river first and solve the nightmare in your heart." After the cause and effect of the matter are solved, find out the origin of the Gu worm in your body, and completely solve your life and death calamity. "
