Chapter 56: Hungry Ghosts
As soon as Dongdong heard Edamame say that it was done, he hurriedly got up, and the old man was so pressed by his nearly two hundred catties of fat that he felt that the joints of his whole body were about to break, and it was a little difficult to breathe. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
But now he couldn't care about it, and the old man struggled to get up, crying and running towards his son.
"Hey...... Watch your feet and don't touch the copper coins on the ground! Edamame saw that the old man's eyes were only staring at his son, and hurriedly reminded.
"Beans? Can you come over now? Is it still contagious? Dongdong still stood in place, asking from a distance.
"Okay, come here, as long as you don't touch the copper coin, it's not dangerous."
Hearing this, Dongdong hurriedly trotted over, "Where's the ghost?" What about ghosts? Let me see what it is? ”
Edamame shrugged his nose and pointed to the bucket of swill on the ground.
At this time, Jiang Xiaoyan also walked over, and when they heard Edamame's words, both of them stretched their necks and looked into the swill bucket.
I saw that there were more than a dozen small things in the bucket at this time, all of which were only the size of a thumb, Dongdong squeezed his eyes to take a closer look, and found that these small things were gray and white, and they were all humanoid, but they were skinny and skinny, and their stomachs were deeply sunken, and they all looked similar to the appearance of the old man's son, like a skeleton covered with only a layer of skin.
The dozen or so little skeletons had no eyelids or lips on their faces, two gray eyes bulging out, and a large mouth full of tiny teeth stretched to the limit, ......"grunting" and drinking the swill in the bucket, eating so much that it was like gobbling up.
Dongdong secretly swallowed his saliva, and was discovered by Edamame who was standing aside, Edamame suddenly looked overwhelmed and said, "Fatty! You're not going to...... Why don't you get a bucket too? ”
Dongdong turned around and said, "Phew! After taking two sips, he argued: "This is called the incense of the other pot, do you understand!" It has nothing to do with what you eat, it's just a normal human reaction! ”
Edamame looked at him teasingly, "Then do you have this reaction when you see a dog licking?" ”
"Get out! You're not disgusting! Dongdong raised a middle finger at him and turned his head away from him.
After the old man's son flew out of the dozen or so green points of light, he tilted his head and said, "Hiccup!" The old man hurriedly untied the rope, probed his son's snort, and found that there was still breath, so he breathed a sigh of relief.
He picked up his son, walked over to the edamame, plucked up the courage to look into the bucket, and when he saw the dense little skeletons, he immediately screamed in fright.
"Don't be afraid, these are the things that hurt your son, and I just asked you to prepare those things to force them out."
"Then my son is ...... Are you all right? ”
Edamame nodded: "I can't say it's okay, he consumes too much essence in his body, and his current body is very weak, and he needs a long time to slowly recuperate, even if he recovers in the future, he may not be able to do heavy work anymore, but he finally saved his life."
When the old man heard this, he immediately looked excited, hugged his son and knelt down for edamame.
"Ouch! Uncle, this can't be helped, aren't you breaking my life! Edamame hurriedly reached out and helped the old man up.
"Okay, uncle, you take your son into the house to rest first, and I'll come to you after I dispose of these things, that ...... What we just said counts, doesn't it? ”
"Count! Of course it counts! The old man nodded hurriedly.
Seeing the old man carrying his son into the house, Jiang Xiaoyan's eyes narrowed slightly, and then looked at the dozen or so little skeletons in the bucket, a look of disgust flashed on her face, and she asked.
"Beans, what the hell are these things?"
Edamame looked back at her, coughed, and explained: "This is called a hungry ghost, a kind of low-level spirit, after they enter the human body, they will parasitize in the intestines, absorbing the essence of the host, will make the host have a strong hunger, but no matter how you eat it, in the end, all the food eaten will be absorbed by them." ”
Jiang Xiaoyan covered her mouth and said in surprise: "Then they don't look like ...... Like roundworms? ”
Edamame raised the index finger of his right hand and shook it, and said: "This little thing is much more powerful than roundworms, at first they only use the nutrients in the host to reproduce, and when the host can no longer provide enough food, they will start to eat the host's flesh and blood from the body, and finally the internal organs of the people possessed by them will be eaten by them, leaving only a skin ......"
"What? Does this thing still breed? Is it still divided into male and female? When Dongdong heard this, he couldn't help but lean his head over again, and searched carefully for the dozen or so small skeletons with his eyes.
Edamame rolled her eyes and reached out to pull him up, "What are you looking for!" Can your focus not be so obscene! The reproduction I am talking about is not what you think, the reproduction of the spirit body is by splitting, when the previous one absorbs enough essence, it will directly split out the next one, and then continue to eat, continue to divide, until finally the organs in the host will be eaten by them, and then they will come out to find the next host. ”
"It's so cruel...... This is the real body being hollowed out! Dongdong was a little disgusted by the description of edamame, and turned his head to look at the swill bucket on the ground, and his fat face was even more long.
By the time they had spoken, the swill in the bucket had bottomed out, but the dozen or so hungry ghosts were still lying at the bottom of the bucket, sticking out their long tongues and licking the remaining juice at the bottom of the bucket.
The swill in the bucket was soon licked away, and the hungry ghosts looked around at the bottom of the bucket with their eyes puffed out, and when they saw that there was no more food, they began to chirp and crawl out along the walls of the bucket.
Dongdong saw that a hungry ghost had climbed the wall of the barrel, and was standing on the edge of the barrel staring at him, with saliva still dripping from his mouth, and he was so frightened that he took a few steps back.
"Holy! Beans, do it! Those things are going to break up after dinner! ”
Edamame shrugged his nose, looked at Dongdong and smiled: "What are you afraid of, I think they are quite interested in you, or let them help you suck the oil in your stomach, just to lose weight." ”
"I'll go! Are you kidding! Dongdong hurriedly ran away with his stomach in his hands.
More and more hungry ghosts climbed up, standing on the edge of the barrel and looking them around, their mouths chirping like sparrows, and yellow saliva falling from between their tiny teeth.
Jiang Xiaoyan was also a little scared, held the hand of the edamame and shook it, and said, "Beans, you should collect them quickly, if you let them escape, they will harm people." ”
Edamame pulled out his hand and said with a smile: "Don't worry, they can't run, you look at it......"
The hungry ghosts standing on the edge of the barrel began to turn into green dots of light and flew towards them, most of them targeting Dongdong.
Dongdong hid behind and saw a bunch of green light points flying towards him, and his face turned pale with fright, but when he saw that Edamame was still standing in front with a calm face, he had confidence in his heart, and he hesitated for a moment and stood in place.
