Chapter 9: Dry Immortals
Drink a whole whole bottle of water at once? No matter how thirsty you are, you can't do this!
Seeing the fat baby like this, I already knew that he had a problem, but his parents were not clear, and the gloomy look before contacting the master must be not small!
I was a little nervous, seeing that the fat baby seemed to be still thirsty, and continued to look for water to drink, so I reached out to pull the fat baby: "Fat baby, don't drink water, wait for my master to come!" ”
How did I know that the fat baby suddenly turned around and grinned at me, with a strange light flashing in his eyes: "Don't drink water?" No way! If you don't drink it, you will die, so I will drink human blood! After finishing speaking, the fat baby actually smashed the water bottle he was still holding on the ground to the ground, and it crackled and shattered. Then he lunged at me and grabbed me by the neck with his hand.
I was defenseless, and even if I were prepared, my thin arms and legs would be completely vulnerable to the weight of a fat baby like a mountain of meat.
So I was thrown to the ground by the fat baby without any suspense, and he not only grabbed my neck with his hand, but also sat on my chest, which made me even more breathless.
"Fat ...... Fat baby...... Are you crazy...... Let go of me" I tried to hold back a few words from between my teeth, kicked my feet wildly, and tried hard to clasp the fat baby's hand with both hands, trying to break his hand away. But my strength is so much smaller than he is that it's completely useless.
Just when my face was flushed and I felt like I was about to lose my breath, I heard the master's voice from the door in front of me: "Brother Wang, is Xiao Ming at your house?" ”
"He just came, he went inside to find the fat baby, is there anything wrong with Master Jiang?" This is the voice of the fat baby's father.
Then I heard the sound of hurried footsteps, and the surprised voice of the fat baby's father: "Fat baby, what are you doing!" You...... What are you pinching Xiao Ming's neck for? ”
The fat baby who was still pinching my neck with a fierce light in his eyes was pulled up from me by his father and my master, and I quickly rolled over and got up from the ground, coughing incessantly, and it was so uncomfortable.
The fat baby was set up by his father and master, and he was still moving desperately with his teeth and claws, and the fierce light flashed in his little eyes, which was not at all like the fat baby I usually knew. He shouted out of his mouth: "Drink water!" Lao Tzu wants to drink water! Give me water. Otherwise I will drink blood, your blood!" ”
There was such a commotion in the house, and it also alarmed the fat baby and her mother who were cooking in the back kitchen. When her mother came out of the kitchen, she saw that we were in a mess, and she was so frightened that her face changed, and then she saw the fat baby struggling desperately there, and tears almost came out.
The master lifted the fat baby's shirt with a brush, revealing his belly, and the scene in front of him scared us all!
I saw that the fat baby's belly has now swelled very, very big, much bigger than he usually does, and you can imagine how much water he has drunk in this short time this morning. This is not a big deal, the most frightening thing is that the surface of his belly is stretched tightly, and inside this tight belly there is a ball-like thing moving around in it. The skin on the surface of the fat baby's belly also moved, drummed and shrunk.
The fat baby's mother covered her mouth and cried on the spot, not knowing what to do.
"What are you still doing in a daze, hurry up and give the fat baby a drink of water and let him stabilize before talking!" The master said anxiously to me.
I reacted at this time, and quickly ran over, took a water bottle with the help of the fat baby's mother, and then ran over and handed it to the master. The master stuffed the water bottle into the fat baby's hand, and then pulled the fat baby's father, signaling to stop controlling him.
So with a panicked and nervous expression, the fat baby's father let go of his hand, hugged the fat baby's mother, and asked my master worriedly: "Master Jiang, my son...... He, what's wrong with him? ”
The fat baby's mother even wanted to kneel down for the master, and said while kneeling: "Master Jiang, Lao Wang and I know that you are a person with great ability." The strange thing more than ten years ago was that you helped save the lives of both of us, and now please save my child too. ”
Well? This listens to the meaning of the fat baby's mother, as if the master had helped them a lot before. No wonder I said that their family has no prejudice against me and the master, and the fat diggers don't feel bad when they run into our money shop every day or two. But now is not the time to worry about this, the situation of the fat baby is the most important.
I looked at the master with doubts and worries.
The master helped the fat baby and her mother up, and said in a deep voice: "Don't worry, let's see the situation." The fat baby has drunk enough water, and it should stabilize for a while. ”
While speaking, the fat baby has already raised his head and held a water bottle to drink water, or he is not drinking water at all, he is simply "pouring water" into his belly!
After drinking a bottle of water, the fat baby put down the water bottle, and the fierce expression on her face disappeared, showing a slightly confused expression. Seeing us around him, he patted his belly, which was about to burst, and grinned, "What are you doing here looking at me?" ”
I tentatively said fat baby, which do you think I am?
The fat baby gave me a strange look: "You are Brother Ming, what's wrong with you, suddenly asking me such a strange question?" ”
The fat baby's performance made me and his parents stunned. Just now, he seemed to be crazy, vicious, and now as soon as he drank the water, it seemed to be normal, if he didn't pay attention to the weird and eerie smile that unintentionally appeared on the side of his mouth, and the stomach that was about to explode by the rising water, he would still be normal.
"Well, this thing is a bit difficult to do. Hold it down first, and I'll do my best to get him right. The master comforted the fat baby's parents, and suddenly took advantage of the fat baby's unpreparedness, and suddenly found a piece of Sanqu money and pasted it on the fat baby's bulging belly.
The fat baby immediately let out a miserable scream, and the ball-like thing that was faintly visible in his belly suddenly moved violently, and then he passed out. The master and the fat baby's father hurriedly helped him, so that he didn't fall directly to the ground.
"Brother Wang, the two of us will help the fat baby to the bed, brother and daughter-in-law, you and Ming Wazi go to the kitchen to get some grass ash and a basin of water, I will be useful." After the master finished speaking, he and the fat baby and his father helped the fat baby into the house, and I and the fat baby and her mother hurriedly went to the kitchen to get grass and wood ashes and a basin of water.
When we got to the fat baby's room, I realized that he had been stripped naked and placed on a wooden bed. The fat baby, his father and the master were standing next to him and chatting about something. When the master saw that we were coming, he ordered us to put down the water and the ashes of the plants, and wait a little until twelve o'clock at noon.
"Master...... Fat baby, what's going on? Did you not run away last night? I looked at the master with a puzzled expression. Looking at the fat baby's father's expression, it is obvious that the master should have told his father about the events of last night.
"Alas, you two little babies are also too unlucky. It actually made you bump into the bleeding brake. I won't talk about it for the time being, just say that the fat baby, he is obviously the dry fairy when the bleeding is on his body, so he is often thirsty and drinks water desperately. ”
"Dry immortals?"
The master's words made me stunned. Dry immortals, in fact, is a common saying in Sichuan and Chongqing, used to ridicule the kind of people who don't like to drink water very much, for example, if someone doesn't drink a sip of water all day, we will say that you are a dry immortal?
The master continued: "Actually, there really is what we call a dry immortal in dialect. But contrary to the saying on weekdays, dry immortals, it is precisely because of dryness that there is an obsession and abnormal desire for water. ”
The fat baby's mother was obviously still a little dizzy, so she asked, "Then, Master Jiang, this ...... What the hell is a dry fairy? ”
