Chapter 130: It's Not Because of You
Xiaobai's words were like a sharp knife, piercing my heart for a while, and I didn't know how to react to the meaning of her words, so I was stunned for a while. γ
Xiaobai didn't give me much chance to think, and the words sounded in my ears again like cannonballs: "Don't pretend, haven't you been secretly staring at her since she came that day?" If you like people, just say it, why bother sneaking around! β
I was completely dumbfounded, what did Xiaobai say! I've been secretly staring at Mu Ling? How come I don't remember? I resolutely refused to admit what I hadn't done, so I shook my head and said, "At most, I took a few looks, what's wrong with a few glances between colleagues?" How did it get into your mouth and keep secretly staring? Besides, how can I secretly like Mu Ling? With my personality, do I need to be sneaky if I like people? β
Xiaobai said sarcastically: "What kind of cowhide to brag? Why are you still single if you're such a cow! β
"I want you to take care of it!" I couldn't help but be a little annoyed and angry, I sped up the frequency under my feet, ran briskly for a while, and then slowly calmed down.
"Xiaobai, are you full and have nothing to do? Why do you pay attention to who looks at me all day long, who I look at such boring things? Do you like me? I said casually.
Xiaobai was silent and didn't speak, and it was rare that he didn't continue to sarcastically mock me. I didn't care, I ran for a while and felt very comfortable, and I couldn't help but smile: "Xiaobai, I always have a question I want to ask you." β
"What?" Xiaobai whispered.
"I heard people say that after people die, they have to report to the underworld, and on the way to the underworld, there is a yellow spring, and there is a bridge on the yellow spring, and there is a Meng Po on the bridge, and every ghost who passes by has to drink a bowl of soup boiled by Meng Po......"
I was babbling on and on, and Xiaobai was already impatient to listen: "Talk about the point!" β
I sighed helplessly and asked, "It is rumored that people who drink Meng Po soup will forget the memories of their previous lives. I want to ask, could it be that you lost your memory because of drinking Meng Po soup? β
This is one of my worries, if Xiaobai's amnesia is due to drinking Meng Po soup, then how can I help her get her memory back?
"It's not." Xiaobai answered me quickly.
I asked, "How are you so sure?" Aren't you amnesia? β
"After drinking Meng Po soup, I am going to be reincarnated! How could I possibly wander outside? Xiaobai replied loudly, "I'm pretty sure that my amnesia isn't because of Meng Po Tang!" β
"No, it's not! Why are you shouting so loudly! Your ears are deafening! I muttered to myself and continued walking towards the valley where my aunt was.
June is already the beginning of summer, the sun is abundant and strong, and the whole Kucang Mountain area is full of vitality.
Entering the valley where my aunt lived, it was in the afternoon, and the vegetables and fruits grown in the valley were growing vigorously, because I was worried that the valley would be trapped, and Xiaobai did not dare to step into the valley without my aunt's permission, so I walked in alone. As soon as I entered the valley, I saw my aunt's figure busy among the fruits and vegetables, and the sun shone on her old back, and there was a feeling called moving.
"Auntie." I whispered, and my aunt stood up from the fruit and vegetable field, turned her head to look at me, and a kind and joyful expression appeared on her wrinkled face.
"Good boy, are you coming to see your aunt again? It's hot outside, you go into the house first, and your aunt will pick some fruit for you to eat. β
I wiped the sweat from my forehead, shook my head and said, "It's okay, Auntie, I'll pick it for you." With that, I walked towards where my aunt was.
Walking up to my aunt, I looked at the fruits and vegetables around me and asked, "Auntie, what do you pick and eat?" β
"Let's pick some peaches." My aunt glanced at me as she spoke, the look in her eyes suddenly changed, and a flash of melancholy flashed, but she didn't say anything, squeezed out a big smile, turned around and picked up vegetables on the ground.
I saw my aunt's series of expressions in my eyes, and knew that something was wrong, but since my aunt did not want to say, I pretended not to know, and listened to my aunt's instructions, and picked a basket of peaches, and then my aunt carried a basket of vegetables, and we went back to the hut in the valley together.
My aunt put the vegetables aside and washed a few fruits for me to eat, and she didn't ask me how I was doing during this time, but only asked me how my parents were doing, and how my grandfather was doing. I told her about the current situation of my family, and suddenly I felt sad as I spoke.
I thought about my physical condition, my mother has always liked children, and I have talked to my father a few times about wanting to hold my grandson, but my life span is only more than ten years, how can I marry a wife and have children, and I am an only child, so I think about it, my parents' wish is not fulfilled
Just talking about homely things, the time slowly came to the evening, my aunt went to wash vegetables and cook, the big black cat Huahua lay on the side of the recliner, two black eyes stared straight at me, saw me looking at it, and shook its little head with a meow.
The movement was like a person shaking his head, very rhythmic, and seemed to have a deep meaning.
I was stunned, what does it mean?
I walked to the side of the recliner and squatted down, grabbed Flowey's two front legs, lifted its upper body, stared into its eyes and said, "Flowey, what did you say?" β
"Meow-" Flowey screamed, rolled her eyes, and shook her head again.
"It's a pity that I don't understand the language of beasts, so I can't understand what you want to say." I let go of Flowey's legs, picked it up, and lay myself on the recliner.
"It's time to eat, kid." After a while, my aunt made dinner and told me to eat it. While eating, Huahua shook her head at me while eating, shook her head once and meowed, which made me inexplicable, and my heart was suddenly uneasy.
"Auntie, is Huahua sick? Why do you keep shaking your head? β
After listening to my question, I didn't expect my aunt to shake her head, then sighed and said, "Child, let's eat first, my aunt has something to tell you after eating!" β
My aunt's serious and solemn tone shook my heart, and I secretly guessed what my aunt wanted to say to me, and I finished the food in the bowl in three or two bites, and then sat aside.
When my aunt saw that I had finished eating, she also put down the dishes and chopsticks in her hand, stared at me for a while, and said, "Child, stretch out your hand and show me." β
Nervously, I reached out to my aunt, who put her finger on my wrist, and after a moment my aunt let go of her hand, looked at me and sighed softly.
"Meow!" At the same time, Flowey shook the cat's head again, and then barked.
I sat on the chair and looked at my aunt and Huahua quietly.
Something bad must have happened, that's my hunch.
After being silent for a long time, the aunt spoke: "Child, there is one thing that even Huahua has seen, and I think you should have noticed it yourself." β
The inexplicable coldness in the depths of my body flashed through my mind, and my heart gradually sank.
"Kid, have you been with that female ghost lately?" My aunt looked at me with a stern and sad look in her eyes, "Why don't you listen to your aunt?" β
"What's wrong with Auntie? Is there something wrong with my body? I took a deep breath and asked about my concerns.
My aunt looked at me, frowned and said, "It stands to reason that even if you had been with that female ghost, the yin qi would not have grown so quickly and become the point it is now. Kid, have you come across anything else lately? β
I thought for a moment and said, "Auntie, I have been feeling cold from time to time recently, is it related to the rapid growth of yin qi in my body?" β
The aunt said gloomily, "Yes." β
I sighed, thinking to myself that I had already known this, and now I just don't know how well my body is and how long I can live.
"Auntie, how long can I live?"
The aunt lowered her eyelids and did not speak for a long time.
I looked at the wrinkles on my aunt's face, my heart was heavy, and the chill in my body seemed to be a little imminent.
"Auntie"
"Son, if I'm not mistakenβ" said the aunt with a sigh, "only a year at most." β
After listening to my aunt, my eyes couldn't help but go dark.
One year!
A few months ago, I still had more than ten years to live! How could it suddenly decrease so quickly?
Is it because I've been with Xiaobai all the time, or because I have encountered too many ghosts when I joined the spirit team?
My mind was in a state of confusion, and I was overwhelmed by the 'bad news' my aunt had told me!
"Kid, kid!" My aunt's shouts pulled me back to reality, and I realized that I had burst into tears.
Who is not afraid of death! Although I have known for a long time that fame will not last long, more than ten years and one year are completely two different concepts! More than ten years are still in the distant future, and a year is already not far away!
I don't know how long it took me, but I felt like I had become a piece of wood, a piece of wood that I didn't know how long it was.
"Child, don't cry, don't cry." My aunt's hand moved over my face, helping me wipe away the tears that flowed from my eyes.
Feeling the temperature of my aunt's palm, I slowly calmed down and slowly wiped away my tears.
"Meow meow-" Flowey jumped softly onto my lap and lay down gently.
I was touching Huahua's supple fur and asked softly, "Auntie, I was bitten by a demon some time ago, could it be that this is the reason for the accelerated growth of yin qi?" β
"Have you ever been bitten by a demon?" Auntie's face changed drastically, "No wonder! The devil is the most yin thing, even a normal person will lose half of his life if he is bitten by it, let alone a person with a physique like you! But it's rare to see such a thing, kid, how could you come across it and get bitten by it? What about the devil? Where is it now? β
"The demon has been destroyed." I replied calmly, and then briefly explained the causes and consequences of the demonic encounter.
Figuring out that the reason for the drastic reduction in lifespan is not because of Xiaobai, I feel that the chill in my body seems to have subsided a little.
