Chapter 7, two Gu worms
The black scorpion is not very large, but it looks very ugly. The color is bright and vivid, and if you are not careful, you will jump out of it.
I was horrified and couldn't believe it, there was an extra poisonous scorpion on my little arm. I rubbed my fingers together to get rid of the pattern, but it looked like it was growing inside the flesh, and there was no way to get it off.
Luo Dajin was overjoyed, and stepped forward to grab my hand: "Luo Jiu, this is a gift from your ancestors, and your natal worm will be a poisonous scorpion in the future." Quick, kowtow to your ancestors, and thank your ancestors for their protection. ”
Only then did I realize that the black scorpion that had just emerged from the spiritual position was a Gu worm gifted by the ancestors of Heihuazhai, embedded in the arm and growing in the flesh, so it was impossible to detain it at all. Luo Dajin didn't wait for me to react, so he grabbed the back of his neck with one hand and pressed it hard a few times, making me kowtow to the spiritual position of my ancestors.
Knock knock, each blow was heavy, and the wound on my forehead began to bleed again. I scolded in my heart: "Fuck your ancestors, go to your uncle's ancestors." Every head I kowtow to, one day, will make you pay back double! ”
After the door of the ancestral hall was opened, the wind blew from outside, and the temperature inside was not as cold as just now.
After kowtowing, Luo Dajin helped me up, still full of joy, and his movements were not as rude as before, with a smile on his face: "Luo Jiu, the ancestors gave insects, it is a great blessing for you, you should cherish it." You have the approval of your ancestors, and you can come into contact with Gu worms and learn to raise Gu in the future. "Look at me a lot more kindly.
I secretly thought in my heart, Luo Dajin's words can never be trusted, he took me to the ancestral hall, it was definitely not for my good, he had an ulterior purpose. I'm too young to figure out why, but I'll figure it out later.
I reluctantly smiled: "That's great, if I am half as powerful as you, I can deal with Luo Youdao." ”
Luo Dajin shook his head and smiled: "Luo Youdao is not called by you, you have to call him a little grandfather according to your generation." Luo Jiu, it's not early, let's go home. ”
Luo Dajin took my hand and walked straight outside. The moment he grabbed my hand, I got goosebumps, and I tried to break free, but he had a lot of strength and couldn't get rid of it.
Walking to the gate of the ancestral hall, a short man walked over, about forty years old, dressed in black cloth, with a black turban on his head, and a smoking gun stuck in his waist.
"Uh-huh, uh-uh......" the man whined, gesturing with his hands, and finally reached out and made a gesture asking for money. It's a mute who can't speak.
Luo Dajin said: "Dumb, keep the ancestral hall well, I occupied your place today, you keep the money, and go to me tomorrow to get two catties of good tobacco." Luo Dajin gave some money.
The dumb man took the money, congratulated me with both hands, and giggled at me again, revealing a row of yellow smoky teeth, which didn't look very awake, and squeezed his eyebrows, and wanted to reach out and touch my head, but after glancing at Luo Dajin, he took it back with interest.
Luo Dajin scolded with a smile: "Dumb, go back to sleep, it's already clean inside." The dumb man waved his arm, pointed at Luo Dajin for a while, and then pointed at himself, and opened his mouth to make a sound.
Luo Dajin scolded a few more words: "Will I lose two catties of tobacco for you, I'll get it tomorrow!" The mute night watchman grimaced at me, screamed and screamed, and rushed into the ancestral hall and closed the door.
Unconsciously, the night was deep, and the entire Black Flower Village was pitch black, only the lantern in front of the ancestral hall was shining. Luo Dajin picked up the lantern that had just been placed aside and illuminated the way back.
Halfway through, Luo Dajin suddenly grabbed me, stopped, and shouted, "Uncle Dao, you have a very different identity, what are you doing hiding in the dark?" ”
Whew! A big black dog came out first, the iron chain around his neck swayed, and Luo Dajin was behind him. The big dog's mouth was grinning, and it was very ferocious. Luo Dajin glanced at the big dog, and the dog immediately lost its ferocity and lay on the ground obediently.
Luo Youdao sneered: "I didn't hide in the dark, I just stood here waiting for you." ”
Luo Dajin said: "Uncle Dao, since you are waiting for me, why do you want to bring a big dog to defend yourself?" ”
The light was faint, and he couldn't see Luo Youdao's expression clearly, but he could guess that he was very unhappy: "Did the ancestors give insects?" ”
Luo Dajin said: "Of course, it is a strong and healthy imperial scorpion. Uncle Dao, it seems that the ancestors are still on my side, otherwise, they would not have given worms. As soon as the words fell, he lifted my left hand, revealing the pattern of a poisonous scorpion.
Luo Youdaozi looked at it carefully for a long time, the old skin on his face twitched a few times, and he was silent for a while, and stopped talking a few times, and finally got out of the way: "I don't have anything to say, you can go." ”
Luo Dajin pulled me to the front, and when I walked over, I smelled a smell of flesh, which emanated from the big black dog, and a faint mist shrouded in the upper and lower parts of Zhou's body. A pair of eyes were terribly red, and a glance at it made people panic and feel a little pitiful.
We walked for a while before Luo Dajin asked, "Luo Jiu, do you think Luo Youdao's big black dog is strange?" ”
I thought about it for a moment and shook my head: "There is a smell of flesh on my body, but I can't say anything strange." Some stray dogs also have a strange smell on them. ”
Luo Dajin said: "He dared to block the road and block me, precisely because he was pulling that black dog!" This black dog is very cruel in the process of raising it, the female dog gives birth to a litter of paparazzi, and when they can bite something, they are locked up, not eaten, and let them bite, and the last one that survives is the vicious dog just now! ”
I'm not surprised anymore, Gu worms are raised in a similar way. I just thought it was ridiculous, he actually said that this was too cruel, but Luo Youdao used a litter of dogs, where could he compare to him Luo Dajin using a big living person.
I didn't know how to answer, I just smiled and yawned again deliberately to hide my contempt for him. On the way back, I sensed someone peeking through the cracks in the door along the way.
Back home, it was only a few hours before dawn.
Before going to bed, Luo Dajin instructed: "Rest well, I will find a way to replenish your body in the next few days." Also, from tomorrow, you can walk freely in the Black Flower Village, but you can't take half a step out of the village. ”
Luo Dajin walked out of the room, and I immediately rubbed the pattern of the poisonous scorpion with my fingers, and my whole arm was rubbed red, but there was still no way. I had no choice but to die, it looks like this will stay in my hands forever.
I secretly wondered if there were any other Gu worms entering my body after the poisonous scorpion jumped from the spiritual position, and after thinking for a while, I concluded that there should be another one, and when I drank the deadly black medicine soup that day, I felt that there were insects drilling.
In other words, I have two bugs in my body, one is a poisonous scorpion, and the other is something I have never seen and cannot name. They should get along well, and they won't make me uncomfortable with fights, I comfort myself.
When it was almost dawn, I fell asleep, and I dreamed of Abba and Grandma, and they were standing together, and I ran towards them desperately. But just as I was halfway through the race, a fat poisonous scorpion stood in the middle of the road, taller than a man.
At the end of the next day, it will be difficult to see each other again. I cried out loud in my dreams, wailing and crying, crying out all my heart. The fat scorpion twisted its body and rested it on my shoulder with its weird right front claw, and the whole scene was bizarre and absurd.
When I woke up, my pillow was completely wet, and it looked like I had shed a lot of tears after falling asleep last night. Recalling the scene in the dream, I couldn't help but roll up my sleeves and look at the pattern on it, the fat scorpion seemed to move its tail, so it didn't look so ugly.
When I got up, the room was empty, and Luo Dajin had already gone out, and there was prepared rice on the table, covered with a large bowl. After I had eaten, I decided to go out for a walk.
Heihuazhai is built on the mountain, there are hundreds of houses, the materials are different, the family is rich and uses a lot of stone and high-quality wood, and the family is not good to use adobe bricks.
There are many forks in the village, but there is only one road out of the village. As I walked down the road, I saw some women, accompanied by small children, who hurried away from them, as if they were afraid.
I walked to the mouth of the stockade, and there were still about ten meters left, and I didn't go any further. Just then, I heard a manic dog barking.
