50. New Year
Coming home is a happy thing, and spending the New Year at home is even more a happy thing, which is the deepest feeling I have had since returning from the pilgrimage to the island.
Last year, when I was celebrating the New Year, I still felt that the Chinese New Year was a very troublesome thing, especially those relatives, who always came to ask some privacy questions, what is the income? When are you going to get married? Who's youngest and who's child is two years old, when will you get married and have children?
It's all my own business, and what do they keep asking for? Annoying?
So I hate the Chinese New Year and the boring questions of those boring relatives. But this year is different, I don't know if it's because I almost can't come back, or because I have experienced too much blood on the pilgrimage island, and I suddenly feel that these usually boring questions now seem very warm and real.
I love the feeling!
But it's not all haode, there are some troubles that have never been resolved, such as my bloodlust, such as Qiao Wei's gunshot wound, such as Zhao Mingjun and the gods who came to earth.
Without the distraction of the moon reading, the fog and wind that surrounded the island were gone—in fact, they didn't exist in the first place, everything was something we imagined.
After we got in touch with the outside world, the rescue team soon came to the island and took us back, and the German vampires on the island were handed over to the most mysterious "authorities" of the government.
After returning to Shenzhen, we all had a comprehensive physical examination, and the results of the examination were something that none of us expected.
I, Qiao Wei, and Chang Le's physical condition was extremely bad - my heart and lungs had severe failure, almost no different from a dead person, Qiao Wei's small intestine was broken into two large sections, and Chang Le's liver was completely pierced by a hole. Fortunately, it was Xiao Guo's private medical institution that gave us a physical examination, otherwise the three of us would definitely be sent to the scientific research department for experimental mice!
According to the medical examiner, the three of us shouldn't have been alive in front of him at all, and he even felt that we should put soul scans on the three of our heads and seal us up as zombies. In the following week, Qiao Wei and Chang Le had separate surgeries, while I stayed in the hospital for recuperation.
The operation was unusually successful, just as Qiao Wei and Chang Le could still survive such a serious gunshot wound, everything seemed so incredible. And the day after the surgery, the two people were able to move freely without even feeling any pain or discomfort.
Compared to them, my situation is much more troublesome.
First of all, the recovery of cardiopulmonary function is not something that can be completed overnight, it takes a long time to recuperate, but after coming into contact with Amaterasu, I was unaware of my body's bad condition, and I didn't even realize what inconvenience cardiopulmonary failure would cause me, and I always felt that I was the same as usual, or even healthier than before.
So I had to stay in bed while feeling good, and it was so painful.
Another thing that gives me a headache is hemophilia.
My sensitivity to the sun is gone, which is a good thing for me, but every two or three days I have the same craving for blood as before, and I hear the heartbeats of the people around me. As a result, I had to continue to add the dark dish of blood pudding to my recipes every day.
In addition to these abnormalities in the body, Shu Xin is also a big trouble.
The time I went missing made her very angry, so as soon as I got home, I was interrogated by her and almost tortured. So I spent two whole days explaining everything I experienced this time to Shu Xin. Of course, I didn't dare tell her about my murder on the island.
Shu Xin will definitely not let me go so easily, confinement at home or something is light, zuihou was also ordered by her to stay in bed to recuperate, without her order is not allowed to move around at will, she asked for leave to watch me at home and didn't let me go anywhere.
So I missed the fighting duel in Bazhaitang, and I also missed Sister Qiao's wonderful performance. Fortunately, Qiao Wei recorded the process with DV when he went to help, and later he took Ye Hong to visit my house and briefly told me about the process.
The whole process was much easier than I expected.
The identity of the dueling party did not surprise me, it was the people of the Green Python Hall. The time was scheduled at nine o'clock in the evening on the 15th, and the location was in the compound of Liu Jian's house. As a result, Sister Qiao threw off the two mud arhats, and it took less than a minute to defeat the representative sent by the green python.
Ba Zhai Tang won, and Liu Jian's side was unforgiving and wanted to kill the green python, but Sister Qiao stopped it, meaning that she hoped that the two sides would make peace. In the handling of this matter, Mr. Qi also agreed with Sister Qiao, and felt that there was no need for the grievances of the previous two generations to continue.
Zuihou Liu Jian compromised, and the green python also agreed to reconcile, and promised Sister Qiao as a loser that from now on she would no longer harm innocents in order to study yin and yang arts, and standardize the rules of the green python hall, and strictly control the disciples of the hall.
At this point, the knot between the two families of the green python and the eight fasting halls can be regarded as over, and it seems that all the troubles have also come to a perfect end with the Year of the Snake.
New Chinese New Year's Eve, dumplings, meat, Spring Festival Gala ...... Then I lay in bed and lived a leisurely life of eating and stretching my hands, enjoying an indefinite long vacation, and my year of the horse began in such a comfortable and enviable environment.
This holiday was longer than I expected, and I thought that all kinds of strange things would happen in a few days, and our detective agency would be popular again, so I was still eagerly looking forward to my body getting back to life. But seeing that the Spring Festival holiday passed quickly, nothing strange happened, Xiao Guo, Ba Zhaitang and all the eyeliner we scattered did not bring me any information about strange events, and it seemed that the arrival of everyone did not bring any trouble.
On the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, it was another day of reunion, my body was almost recovered, and Shu Xin finally allowed me to move freely. But I didn't go around, I went to my parents' house at nine o'clock in the morning to talk to the second elder and listen to my father's complaints.
My father used to be the chief financial officer of a state-owned enterprise, so he didn't bother to be a petty trader at all, and it was impossible for him to do the same work as other old men, so he stayed at home.
Although I am not rich, I am not short of money, but my dad has always dreamed of getting rich overnight, so he has a fixed two days a week to buy lottery tickets, and will always share his lottery letter with me. Of course, he would complain to me when the purchase failed.
He still complained to me when he went home this time, but this time his complaint had nothing to do with his mistakes, but more like the envy and jealousy of the lucky ones, because someone won the jackpot, and at the lottery station where my dad always went to buy lottery tickets, the most annoying thing is that the person just passed by after drinking, and only bought a note, or a machine selection.
I can understand my dad's resentment.
In order to win the lottery, he has to conduct a lot of data research and analysis at the lottery station almost every day, and then choose the number to bet, but his efforts have not been rewarded, but a drunk bought a lottery ticket at will, and the result is enough money for a lifetime.
I didn't take my father's complaint seriously, as usual, but I never imagined that this lottery would take people's lives like a plague and a curse!
