Chapter 32: Heartbreak and Famine

Sure enough, as the old woman said, at noon the next day, the wounds on Zheng Pei's body had basically healed, and the wounds were as smooth as before, without any scars at all. But this didn't make Zheng Pei feel very happy www.biquge.info he could clearly see many black tentacles as thin as hair repairing the flesh in the wound on his arm during the day, which made him feel nauseous. The old woman's surname was Ye, and she talked to him a lot, letting him know what a spirit was, knowing the situation of the sect, and most importantly, he also knew why he always encountered the black snake - in fact, the black snake called Ba Worm was the little snake that bit him when he took out a bottle for Ba Niang before. And after being stuffed into his stomach by Ba Niang, he not only controlled the toxins in his body for him, but also saved his life. And while the worm is constantly eroding his body, it is also eroding his soul. Zheng Pei imitated the movements of the portraits in the book, intending to learn spells, but in fact, he fell into the trap set by the Yunba Sect to prevent spells from being stolen by outsiders, and was sucked dry by the books. Although it did not die, it inadvertently provided convenience for the insects, making the insect poison attack more rapid. As for the later big cat, he handed over Zheng Pei's spirit to Ba Worm. And the big tree he saw in the darkness was a symbol of his own divine body, which had been completely controlled by the worms. After being completely controlled by the worm, losing consciousness and becoming a puppet is a trivial matter, and the most terrible thing is that ordinary people's divine bodies can't withstand the erosion of snake venom. Soon the controlled puppet will be devoured and quietly die in the unknown corner.

Zheng Pei sat on the wooden floor outside the house, listening to Granny Ye tell him so many things with an expressionless face, and when he knew that he would soon become a puppet of the Ba worm, he frowned, and threw the small branch in his hand that he was pinching and playing with into the distance.

Granny Ye looked at Zheng Pei's face and asked softly, "Child, do you hate Ba Niang?" ”

Zheng Pei didn't speak, still frowning.

Granny Ye continued: "Alas, don't blame her, she didn't know that the worm would be so powerful, and it was to save you at that time, so she would eat the worm for you as an antidote......"

"I got bitten to get something for her!" Zheng Pei rudely interrupted Granny Ye, although his voice was low, but full of hatred, "It's all because of her that I'm like this now, otherwise, where would I have so much trouble, I just want to go to school well!" ”

Granny Ye didn't care about Zheng Pei's attitude, and still said in a soft tone: "Child, people will have many choices in this life, Ba Niang is also a hard-working person, she only had today's fate because she chose that man." ”

"Then I deserve it?" Zheng Pei said impatiently, "I just want to go to school hard and earn money for my mother to live a good life, why should the result of her own choice involve me?" ”

Granny Ye's eyes became dim for a moment, she looked at Zheng Pei sadly, as if she was apologizing to Zheng Pei for what Ba Niang had done, but she also seemed to be lamenting how the fate of the two of them could be so unruly.

The sun shines in the wind and flows quietly. I don't know how long it took for Granny Ye to say helplessly and comfortingly: "Child, people are like this, it's not how you choose to live, it's ...... you yourself who are chosen."

Zheng Pei didn't speak, he looked at the sky quietly, and his eyes were blue.

Granny Ye smiled bitterly and said, "This is fate, it's not yours, you can't catch up." You can't avoid any of the things you are destined to encounter. ”

When the moon is in the sky, an eagle crosses the sky. Since Zheng Pei insisted on going back to school, Granny Ye hesitated for a moment and agreed, but in order to prevent Zheng Pei's sanity from being eroded by worms, Granny Ye took out a light cyan ring of unknown material from a jar soaked in herbs, put it on the index finger of Zheng Pei's left hand, and told him to come back when the ring turned black.

Zheng Pei sat on the back of the eagle and looked at the ring on his left hand with a frown, full of worry. The confusion and resentment in his heart scurried around in his heart like a fly without a head. He felt injustice, but he couldn't say why, and he didn't know who to go to get it back from. I don't know how long it took, Zheng Pei suddenly woke up from his confusion, and he realized a very serious problem: when he went to find Granny Ye, he was guided by Ba Niang, but when he came back, he only returned in the general direction, but he didn't know the specific location of the school and how to fly. In other words, in this dark and cold night sky, Zheng Pei got lost.

The eagle still flew smoothly in the direction indicated by Zheng Pei, but Zheng Pei lost his patience in anticipation. The ground was so dark that I couldn't see it clearly. But what if you see it clearly? Zheng Pei felt a sense of frustration, he didn't know the direction at all, even if he could see the ground clearly, he didn't know the distance. Zheng Pei recalled the situation when he and Ba Niang set off, relying on the fragments in his memory to control the approximate direction and speed, if he said that he was lost, it probably wouldn't be too far, so if he couldn't do it, he would go down to find someone to ask. Zheng Pei frowned, but if there is such a delay, I am afraid that the class and night shift will be delayed.

Suddenly, Zheng Pei seemed to see a yellow area in the distance, the brightness was not very high, but it was very conspicuous in the dark night. Zheng Pei commanded the eagle to gradually approach that place. But the closer he got, the more Zheng Pei felt that this place was familiar, but he couldn't remember where it was. Yellow light emanated from the ground, turning into yellow dots the size of fireflies in the air, like green smoke after lighting mosquito coils, and gradually disappeared in the air. Zheng Pei flew closer and closer, and the light became fainter and fainter. By the time he commanded the eagle to land on the ground, the yellow light had completely disappeared. However, when Zheng Pei glanced around, he was surprised to find that he had stood in front of the door of Cheng Sheng's building.
