"Are you ready?"

I sat cross-legged in the dark room of Cheng Baize's studio and nodded.

He looked at me, washed his hands in a copper basin, dried it, and handed me a new towel: "Bite." ”

I shook my head, "No. ”

So many things happened on this day, and the places that should hurt hurt hurt, where would I be afraid of pain.

Cheng Baize did not insist. Put the towel aside: "Can this be endured?" ”

I mumbled, "Let's get started." ”

"Stretch your arms straight, spread your fingers, palms up, remember, no matter how much it hurts, you can't say stop, otherwise, the needle will stop in place, then you have to start from the beginning again, you will hurt again, you must grit your teeth and hold on." I'll try to speed it up. ”

I nodded, stretched out my arms and looked at him, from the rest room in Xu Linlin, the red line on my arm was particularly obvious, before it only extended from the position of cinnabar to the forearm, and now the whole arm is a red line, and it is very thick, it feels like a long earthworm drilled under the skin of the flesh.

Cheng Baize first put incense on his back to me, and when the smoke on the incense rose, he sighed. I looked over and saw that the smoke was very dark, and I understood that it was difficult to take out the needle, and the time had not yet come, and it must have taken some effort to take it out.

Glancing back at me, "Wait a minute." I'll try again. ”

I didn't respond, nodded and watched Cheng Baize continue to light incense, and then closed my eyes and silently recited something, 'Crash', I was startled, the incense actually broke.

Cheng Baize's brows were tightly frowned, and a layer of fine sweat appeared on his forehead, and he looked back at me: "Do you still want to take it?" ”

I still nodded: "If you don't take it, Zhuo Jing will be in danger outside." ”

Cheng Baize's eyes were speechless, and he knelt down and directly took a white porcelain bowl behind him. I filled half a bowl of water in a copper basin, and then dipped my finger in cinnabar to draw a sending note. After lighting it with fire, he caught it with a bowl when it was burned out, and then, he drank the runic water directly, and the bowl fell on the ground, and with a snap, the broken porcelain pieces scattered in all directions.

I looked at him and felt a little unbearable: "You are going to use your own ......"

"Shut up!"

He drank it, sat directly opposite me, picked up a piece of porcelain and cut it his middle finger, as the blood gushed out, he held my arm with one hand, and touched my cinnabar with his bleeding middle finger with the other, "Heaven and earth, please open the acupoint today, disciple Bai Ze, take blood as an order, lead the way!" ”

The cinnabar position was instantly hot like fire, my scalp tightened, and then he gritted his teeth, and his fingers suddenly looked like a cigarette butt that was being smoked, and it was pressed against the cinnabar on the inside of my elbow.

"Patience!"

Cheng Baize looked at me, his face was also secretly exerting force, and the sweat on his forehead began to gush out heavily, just when I felt that the position on the inside of my elbow was going to be burned, Cheng Baize shouted again: "Out!" ”

Immediately, my body twitched uncontrollably, my teeth were also gurgling in my mouth and I couldn't control it, cold, very cold, as Cheng Baize's fingers moved down against my arm, it was as if I suddenly held more than a hundred ice skates in my arms, my lips were numb from the cold, my facial expression was about to stiffen, and all I wanted was to quickly give me two quilts, or a stove.

"Patience!"

Cheng Baize also shouted this word with his teeth trembling, the sweat on his head was gone, and he looked trembling slightly, I looked at him tremblingly: "Are you also cold." ”

Using blood to induce needles is an extreme method, and the person who uses blood to induce the needle must bear the same pain as the person who raises the needle, so when I saw Cheng Baize drink Fu Shui, I understood, I never imagined that the needle I raised for five days would be so difficult to take, and Cheng Baize, who would be harmed, would suffer with me.

"Shut up and don't bother me."

He looked at me with a serious expression, and his brows frowned tightly into a Sichuan character, "It's in the palm of your hand, bear with me!! ”

The cold disappeared in an instant, and before I could take a long breath of relief, a bone-eating pain gushed out directly, like thousands of hedgehogs rolling and gnawing in your flesh, every time it hurts, I really want to say stop, I will slow down, but I don't dare, and I don't want Cheng Baize to follow me to suffer again. Wooden pond is dead.

Tears flowed out like water, and my mouth couldn't help but make a sound similar to a small sob, and finally I really felt that I couldn't do it, I hummed softly: "It hurts......"

I looked at Cheng Baize, his face was also full of pain, and he looked sweating profusely: "Endure it, it's ...... fingers"

The so-called ten fingers are connected to the heart, and I know that the needle in the body hurts the most when it is taken out and pierced from the middle finger, because it comes out of the flesh alive, and it can make people tremble when you think about it.

But I never thought it would be like this, it was like a person breaking your fingers, and then breaking them again, I felt like my big teeth were going to be crushed, except for the tears that were still flowing and my body was already wooden.

At that moment, I really had the urge to beg someone to take a knife to give me a pleasure, seeing that the tip of the needle was showing its head on the position of the finger, I couldn't help but pinch my wrist, silently told myself that this hand was not mine, not mine, and watched the needle slowly break through the skin from the finger, as if someone was pulling out a bone in my body, pulling out a little, I collapsed a little, and finally my eyes were dark, and I fainted in pain.

When I opened my eyes, it was lying on the big sofa in Cheng Baize's studio, I sat up, instinctively looked out of the window, it was dark and gloomy outside, and I was shocked, would Zhuo Jing just leave quietly? ! Just about to get up, I heard the sound of hula rain outside the window, the rain seemed to be very heavy, and my heart was relieved, on such a rainy day, the plane should not take off.

Cheng Baize was lying on the desk, and the sound of me getting up woke him up, and he raised his head and looked at me: "Awake?" ”

I nodded, walked up to him, looked at a small box on the desk, opened it, and saw that there was a pale pink needle inside, Cheng Baize sighed: "When the time comes, the needle that arrives at the climate is blood-red and blood-red, and it is generally carried on the body, and everything dirty has to be walked around, but this, Zhuo Jing can also take self-defense." ”

His voice was a little hoarse, I looked at him, and suddenly felt that I really owed a lot to others, how could he be, help me like this, and lowered his eyes: "Although I know it's useless to say thank you, but I really appreciate you, in the future, as long as you speak, I will definitely help if I can help, thank you very much, I don't have a brother, but I think if you are my brother, I will definitely be able to wake up with a smile in my dreams." ”

Cheng Baize looked at me with a helpless smile: "Yes, with a sister like you, it's really heartbreaking, hey, let's have a snack, ah." ”
