Chapter 31: Leaving the Soul and Saving the Son
In the next few days, Yang Qianqian didn't need to ask to know what Xiao Lili would look like. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
The next day, Xiao Lili no longer hallucinated. He looked straight ahead as if he was demented, not speaking or moving, not reacting to everything that was happening around him.
On the third day, Xiao Lili showed signs of immobility. When I was about to get out of bed and go to the bathroom, I went straight from the bed to the ground. It was just a few steps to the toilet, if it weren't for Xiao Wenlu and Yang Qianqian supporting him, he might have used to climb to get through.
Early in the morning of the fourth day, Yang Qianqian woke up, and the first thought that flashed through her mind was: Today is the last day. After today, starting tomorrow, Xiao Lili will be able to return to normal. Thinking of this, Yang Qianqian was finally relieved in her heart, but on the last day of this uneven soul, what Xiao Lili would look like, she didn't know at all, and her heart was still up and down.
Yang Qianqian sat up, looked at Xiao Lili next to him, and saw him lying flat in the quilt, making an even breathing sound, the expression on his face was very calm, and he couldn't see anything abnormal.
It looks like this last day, the grains will not be as painful as the previous days. Yang Qianqian thought to herself.
Out of the room, Xiao Wenlu had already woken up. He had been waking up very early since Xiao Lili had become abnormal, and maybe he hadn't slept all this time. Yang Qianqian looked at Xiao Wenlu's messy hair, his face full of beard, his bloodshot eyes, and his depressed expression, and her heart felt as if it had been jerked. It suddenly occurred to her that in the past few days, Xiao Wenlu had not necessarily suffered less than Xiao Grain. Seeing that his son is living in pain and struggle every day, and he has no ability to do anything, the feeling of powerlessness must be unbearable. Besides, Xiao Wenlu said that Xiao Lili would be out of soul from time to time, so he must have experienced a lot of this kind of scene, and what is even more terrifying is that no one can predict when Xiao Lili will have this situation next time, and how much suffering this insecurity will bring him, she can't even think about it.
She walked to Xiao Wenlu's side and comforted softly: "I see that Lili is sleeping soundly, he should be better today, right?" Bear with me, and everything will be fine tomorrow. “
Xiao asked for directions and said "um", which was an answer. Although he didn't speak, he glanced at Yang Qianqian deeply, his eyes were full of gratitude, and Yang Qianqian could see it clearly.
This grateful look made Yang Qianqian suddenly feel that her body was full of motivation. Yang Qianqian cheered up and tried to make her voice vibrant: "Then I'll prepare breakfast!" “
Xiao Wenlu said in a low voice: "You can eat it yourself, I won't eat it anymore." “
"What?" Yang Qianqian was a little dissatisfied. "Why don't you eat yourself, and then you're still hungry?"
"He won't wake up today, and what you did for him was in vain. I can't eat it. “
Yang Qianqian's open mouth didn't close for a long time. She understood, it turned out that on the last day of the uneven soul, Xiao Lili had been asleep.
Sure enough, until it was dark, the lights were on outside, and then the lights of thousands of homes went out, and the grains never woke up. He just lay there, breathing steadily, but he didn't turn over, not even a finger.
Kind of like Sleeping Beauty. Yang Qianqian thought so in her heart.
The hour hand on the wall is almost zero. Yang Qianqian asked Xiao for a long time: "Is it that after twelve o'clock, as soon as the seven-day time passes, the grains will completely return to normal?" “
Xiao asked for directions and nodded. Yang Qianqian noticed that his whole expression and body language were much more relaxed.
Yang Qianqian also suddenly felt refreshed. Finally, I could see the cold little adult Xiao Lili again, and when I thought of his appearance of not being afraid of the sky and the earth, and respecting no one and no bird, the corners of Yang Qianqian's mouth couldn't help but rise. Although Xiao Li, who is lively and active because of his uneven soul and looks like a normal child, is particularly cute and attractive, but in the bottom of her heart, it turns out that she is more accustomed to him.
What a masochist! She laughed at herself in her heart.
"Bell...... Clang...... The old-fashioned wall clock on the ...... wall began to tell the time, and before the twelve strikes were finished, Xiao Wenlu had already rushed into the bedroom.
Yang Qianqian followed and walked in, and saw Xiao Wenlu sitting on the edge of the bed, a big hand gently caressing Xiao Liang's small brain and forehead, as if gently waking him to get up.
However, Xiao Lili did not move. Yang Qianqian waited at the door for three minutes, and for five minutes, Xiao Lili still remained asleep. Yang Qianqian sensitively noticed that the muscles in Xiao Wenlu's back were a little stiff.
Yang Qianqian was a little puzzled, stepped forward, and was just about to ask what was going on, but Xiao Wenlu had already opened his mouth and called softly: "Grains, grains, wake up." It's back. “
Xiao Lili still didn't move.
Yang Qianqian covered her mouth with her hand, and an ominous premonition slowly hit her heart.
Xiao asked for directions and was obviously in a hurry, grabbed Xiao Lili's shoulders with both hands, shook him gently, and his voice began to tremble: "Lili!" Wake up! Wake up! Come back soon! “
Xiao Lili still didn't have any reaction.
"What's going on?" Yang Qianqian couldn't help it.
Xiao Wenlu covered his face with his hands: "I don't know." “
"Didn't you say you would wake up at twelve?"
"Yes. I do not know. Xiao Wenlu obviously didn't want to speak. He gently lay on Xiao Lili's body, and his heavy posture made Yang Qianqian breathless.
She wanted to comfort Xiao and ask for directions, but her mouth opened and closed, and she didn't know what to say. So she could only stay quietly, hoping that as time passed minute by minute, a miracle would happen, and Xiao Lili could suddenly say coldly: "What are you doing lying on me?!" “
But there was a deathly silence in the room.
It's dawn. The sun is rising, and the outside is starting to be lively. Then the sun reaches mid-heaven, and then slowly sinks westward. The moon is also out. The room was sprinkled with cool moonlight, which made Yang Qianqian's heart cold and cold.
She struggled to move her already stiff body and walked to the bed. Xiao Wenlu lay on Xiao Lili's body, tears slipped from the corners of his eyes, and the quilt was wet. And Xiao Lili is still sleeping.
Yang Qianqian's heart sank into the bottomless abyss.
Another night.
The sky was bright again. Xiao Wenlu suddenly stood up and walked outside the room. Yang Qianqian had a haggard face and hurriedly followed.
I saw Xiao Wenlu walking to the kitchen, picking up a basin for washing vegetables and filling it with water. Then he bit the tip of his right index finger and squeezed a drop of blood into the basin, which made Yang Qianqian's heart tremble.
Xiao Wenlu squeezed his index finger hard, and the blood seeped into the water one by one, slowly dyeing the water red.
When the blood concentration in the water was enough, Xiao asked for directions and stopped squeezing blood. He opened his right hand and pressed the palm of his hand flat against the water, only to see the whole palm slowly shine through, illuminating the kitchen water sparkling. After a while, he removed his palm, and to Yang Qianqian's surprise, a picture appeared on the water!
Yang Qianqian took a closer look, and the shaking water surface was like a TV picture with a bad signal, reflecting a scene: the majestic and magnificent ancient buildings were hidden in the Sensen Gubaili, and there were constantly pedestrians shuttling and walking in the buildings, a lively scene.
"Where is this?" Xiao asked for directions and asked Yang Qianqian.
This building Yang Qianqian looks a little familiar. After thinking for a while, she patted her forehead: "This is Amaterasu Temple!" “
Hearing the words "Amaterasu Temple", Xiao asked for directions and turned around and walked out. Yang Qianqian chased out: "Where are you going?" “
Xiao Wenlu stopped, turned around, and said to Yang Qianqian: "I'll go to this Tianzhao Temple." Grains...... Please take care of him. I'll be back soon. “
Yang Qianqian wanted to go with him, but when she thought that Xiao Lili was still lying on the bed and couldn't wake up, she dispelled this idea. She didn't know what Xiao asked Lu to do to Tianzhao Temple, but she knew that he must have gone for Xiao Lili.
Xiao asked for directions and took a taxi and went straight to Amaterasu Temple. On the road, the driver repeatedly wanted to talk to him, but he was frightened by the grim expression on his face. When I arrived at Amaterasuji Temple, although it was not a holiday, it was still crowded. On the way here, I heard the driver say that this is the largest and most effective temple in the local area, built in the middle of the Ming Dynasty, standing for hundreds of years, and the incense is endless.
Xiao asked for the road to pass through the endless stream of pilgrims and tourists, and climbed the steps up the mountain. On this day, the sky is clear, the pines and cypresses in the temple are stacked and green, the birds and cicadas in the forest are singing, the eaves of the ancient temple are soaring to the sky, and the scenery is beautiful. However, Xiao Wenlu had no intention of enjoying the beautiful scenery, so he just walked in a hurry. I saw him bypass several large halls and go straight to the door of a moon cave. On the wall next to the door, there is a notice of "non-open area, tourists stop", indicating that a woman is sitting behind a small square table, a yellow cloth is spread on the table, and a small sign is placed on it, with the word "fortune telling" written on it, and a sign holder stands next to it. Incense wafted in front of the woman, making it impossible to see her appearance and age. There were many pilgrims walking past the table, but none of them sat down to tell her fortunes, not even one to look at her.
Xiao Wenlu walked to the table and sat down, and before she could speak, the woman spoke first, and her voice was extremely old: "Hou Sheng, do you want to tell fortunes?" “
"Granny Meng, I fed blood to live a long life to see each other because I had something to ask for."
"What do you want from me?"
"My son Xiao Lili was taken away by black and white impermanence a few days ago, and now it has been seven days, and I still don't see the soul returning, I want to ask my mother-in-law to guide me to the heavens, tell me when the ghost door is open, I want to go down to find him."
"The soul has been collected by black and white impermanence, and naturally its life span has ended. Why do you seek him? ”
"Mother-in-law, you don't know anything." Xiao asked, "My son is a half-ghost spirit child, and his soul will be taken away from time to time, and he will definitely return to normal after seven days." This is the number of days, and no one can change it. But now that the time has passed, and he still hasn't returned, there must be some accident, and I must go to him. ”
"I see." The woman, who was called "Granny Meng," said, "In that case, I will tell you." The time when the ghost gate was open was not a great opportunity. You have a life to go, and you have to have a life to come back. There you go. After that, he handed Xiao Wenlu a yellow note, which was written "Lou Kuijian when Gengxu Ri Guihai", I don't know when these words were written.
"Thank you, mother-in-law, I dare not forget it." Xiao Wenlu bowed his head and thanked him, and when he raised his head again, the curling fireworks floated by, and the wall was empty, and the mother-in-law had long since disappeared.
Xiao Wenlu hurried down the mountain to rush home, and as soon as Yang Qianqian saw him coming back, she immediately greeted him. Xiao asked Lu Lu and asked, "Are you awake?" ”
Yang Qianqian knew that he was asking Xiao Lili, and shook her head helplessly. "What about you? Did you find a way? ”
"Well, I'll go down there and find him, and I'm going to bring him back anyway." Xiao asked Lu Yangyang about the yellow paper in his hand.
Seeing that Yang Qianqian couldn't read the words on the paper, Xiao Wenlu explained: "Today is Gengxu Day, the ghost door will open tonight, and I will leave the soul to find grains at that time, and then you may have to work hard to take care of our bodies." If we still can't wake up after seven days......"
Xiao Wenlu didn't continue, and Yang Qianqian didn't ask either, because he didn't need to ask to know that if he couldn't wake up after seven days, it might mean that the father and son would never wake up.
"Is this the only way?"
Xiao asked for directions and nodded.
Yang Qianqian did not speak again. A father is determined to save his son, and no matter how dangerous the road ahead, he will not turn back. Yang Qianqian knew very well that the only thing she had to do at the moment was to believe that they would be able to come back safely, and protect their bodies during this time.
As soon as nine o'clock in the evening, Xiao asked for directions and lay down next to Xiao Lili. He glanced at Yang Qianqian, and Yang Qianqian said, "Don't worry, I'm here." ”
Xiao asked Lu sincerely: "When we come back, I will tell you what you want to know." ”
Yang Qianqian's eyes were hot, don't look over: "I know, I'll wait for you to come back and tell me." ”
By the time Yang Qianqian calmed down and turned around, Xiao Wenlu had already closed his eyes, and his breathing was steady and long. Yang Qianqian suddenly felt a little panicked, she tried to get rid of the bad imagination in her mind, and only felt that there was a great responsibility on her shoulders.
After a while, Yang Qianqian suddenly had a strange feeling. This feeling is difficult to describe, Yang Qianqian obviously can't see anything, but she always feels that a shadow has come out of Xiao Wenlu's body. The shadow stood on the ground, facing Yang Qianqian, glanced at her, and walked out of the room. Yang Qianqian rubbed her eyes vigorously, she still couldn't see anything, but she just felt that there was a shadow there.
I don't know if it was because of the wind, but the door to the room opened. Yang Qianqian "watched" the invisible shadow go out, and prayed silently in her heart.
