Mr. Lu and I helped each other and walked back.

I asked, "Did you just see the people of Hades?" ”

Mr. Lu's gaze became very hesitant, and after a while, he said, "I don't know if what I see is a person from the underworld. I'm not sure where they came from. It is also not certain whether they are human or not. ”

Mr. Lu paused and said, "Perhaps, the folklore is right. Although the bull head and horse face are not accurate, they are indeed the closest description. ”

I looked at him strangely, "What the hell do you see?" Said clouds and mountains of fog cover? ”

Mr. Lu smiled a little reluctantly: "I don't even know what I saw." I can't say it, and I can't draw it. I only felt terrible, more terrifying than death. ”

I saw Mr. Lu start to show his teeth and claws. This is a precursor to the gradual loss of control. So I didn't dare to ask any more.

I looked at my palms under the streetlights, and they were still gray-white, looking like dead people.

Mr. Lu said, "You don't have to worry. Rest more, and you will naturally recover. ”

When I heard him say that, I was relieved.

My mom and dad were standing on the road and saw the two of us coming back. Hurriedly ran over.

I smiled at my mom, "I'm fine." The yellow paper has been burned. The people of Hades also received it. ”

My mother's smile was a little miserable, and I saw her say insincerely, "It's okay, it's okay." ”

The four of us walked slowly down the road. Along the way, my mom kept turning her head to look at my face.

I touched my face and asked, "What's wrong?" ”

My mother sighed and said, "How can you find a daughter-in-law in the future with the scars on your face?" ”

When Mr. Lu heard this, he smiled: "Don't worry, these scars will disappear by themselves in two days." ”

After Mr. Lu and I returned home, we devoured a few bowls of rice. Then he lay down in bed.

We haven't had a good night's sleep in a week. This big sleep is really dark. I'm no longer in danger, so I sleep extra relaxed and extra sweet.

By the time I woke up again, it was a few days later.

I raised my palm and looked. The skin is still gray. I'm feeling a little choked in my heart. I fumbled in my face. I feel that the sense of touch is still mostly gone.

I sat down on the bed and thought, "Am I going to be like this forever, a living dead?" ”

I staggered out of the room. Maybe it's because I've slept for a few days, and my legs are a little weak.

I saw Mr. Lu sitting at the dinner table, gobbling up food. I ignored him and went straight to the bathroom.

I looked in the mirror. The situation on my face made my heart sink.

The corpse spots were already patched together. Half of my face is black and the other half is gray. This look can make a cameo appearance in a horror movie without makeup.

I sighed and washed my face. After washing this time, I was a little frustrated: "This face is already like this, what else am I washing it for?" ”

I looked up and was about to walk out of the bathroom. Suddenly, I realized that there was something wrong with my face in the mirror. I now feel like a facial paralysis, with a crooked mouth and eyes.

I nervously reached out and touched it, and found that my face seemed to be covered with a thin layer of touch. I tried twisting it. I found a piece of dead skin that I had peeled off. Reveal the tender meat behind you.

I watched in amazement at this magical sight. Then fill the bathtub with water. I lay down and soaked for half an hour. Then rub vigorously with a towel. Keep rubbing out the red meat.

I glanced back at the water in the tub. Almost threw up. That scene is really terrible.

I endured the nausea and cleaned up the tub. Then I got dressed and walked out.

My mom happened to be passing by the living room and saw me come out. His eyes lit up, he took my hand and said, "Oh, it's all right?" ”

I nodded and said, "It's all right." ”

My mother said, "Look at the flesh on this face, it's like a baby." Hey, good-looking is good-looking, but it doesn't look like a man. ”

I'm just a smirk.

My mom pulled me to watch for a while, then urged me to sit down and eat.

I devoured and ate for a while, and then I heard Mr. Lu next to me say, "Zhao Mang, follow me to a place at night." ”

I finished a bowl of rice, filled myself with another bowl, and asked, "Where are you going?" ”

Mr. Lu swallowed the food in his mouth and said, "That woman bullied you like this, so you just forget it?" ”

I was overjoyed and asked, "Do you want to cut the grass to the roots?" ”

Mr. Lu laughed. But he didn't talk.

My mother heard the conversation between the two of us and asked Mr. Lu, "Do you want to hunt ghosts at night?" ”

Mr. Lu shook his head: "Don't worry, it's a human, not a ghost." ”

By the time the two of us finished eating, it was already past three o'clock in the afternoon. I felt a little foggy in my mind, so I wanted to lie in bed and get some sleep.

Mr. Lu grabbed me, and he said, "Zhao Mang, you can't sleep anymore, you sleep too much, and you are easy to get hurt." Come, let's walk around the yard. ”

Mr. Lu began to circle around the yard. It's just that his steps are very strange, back and forth, and unorganized. There are only a few moves in this step. If you keep walking, it becomes a circle, and it goes back and forth in the yard.

Mr. Lu walked very fast, and I was a little dizzy. After a while, he stopped, his face was not red, his mouth was not panting, and he asked triumphantly, "How is it?" ”

I scratched my head and said, "It's okay, I don't see any tricks." "The island is littering.

Mr. Lu looked like he hated iron but not steel: "You can't recognize the baby even if you see it." The few steps I took just now are secretly in line with the gossip yin and yang. As long as you insist on walking every day, over time, your ears and eyes will be clear, and your body will be strong. It's not a problem to live to be 180 years old. ”

I glared and asked, "So god?" ”

Mr. Lu said proudly: "That's it. ”

I became interested and said, "Come, teach me." ”

Mr. Lu readily agreed and took me for a walk in the courtyard for a while.

I followed him for more than ten minutes, and gradually I lost interest. These steps, you have to keep remembering the hexagrams, those names are very strange. I remember the front and forget the back. In his last breath, he said: "Don't learn, the gods are chattering, and there are so many famous halls in one step." ”

Mr. Lu shook his head regretfully, but he didn't force me.

Soon, evening arrived. Mr. Lu and I had a few more bowls of rice. When he was full of wine and food, he began to sit in his chair and chat.

Wait until my parents are asleep. Mr. Lu took out the compass. He looked at it for a moment and said, "Follow me." ”

I reached out and lifted the broadsword.

Mr. Lu waved his hand and said, "That woman is already dying." What else do you do with a broadsword? It seems that we have no face. Let's go empty-handed, and don't seem to take the enemy seriously. ”

I nodded and said, "I listen to you, and you can do whatever you say." ”

The two of us followed Mr. Lu's compass, and after searching for a long time, we finally came to a house.

Mr. Lu said: "This one is it. ”

I wondered, "No, right." I haven't been back for a few years though. But I know a lot of people in town. This family is honest, will that woman hide in this? ”

Mr. Lu pointed to the compass and said, "It said yes." Believe it or not, but I'll have to knock on the door and see. ”

Mr. Lu threw the compass to me. Then bang bang on the door.

After a while, the door opened. An old woman opened the door. Her face was very unhappy, and she asked lightly, "Who are you looking for?" ”

Mr. Lu said, "Let's find a woman. ”

The old woman said, "I'm the only woman here." Are you looking for me? ”

Mr. Lu shook his head.

The woman reached out and was about to close the door.

However, Mr. Lu stretched out a foot and blocked the door. He asked lightly, "Why don't you turn on the lights?" ”

The old lady said impatiently, "Because the lights in my house are broken." ”

Mr. Lu asked again, "There seem to be three candles lit in your room." Isn't it a bit of a waste? ”

The old grandmother said angrily: "What does this have to do with you? ”

Mr. Lu said with a smile: "We have known each other for so long. When you were young, you peeked at my Taoism. When I grew up, I peeked at your sorcery. Do you think you can hide it from me? ”

Then, with his fingers crossed, he slapped the old woman in the face.
