Chapter 41: The Demon Tribulation
The adoptive father was shocked and angry at this time, and he didn't even understand that he actually let his adopted son teach him a lesson. Although Zheng Jun was very angry, he couldn't rush up directly to stop me. From which of his slaps just now, the speed under almost half of his strength failed to hit me, and at this time I was still holding Liu Chuxiong hostage in my hands.
Since I was a child, I had no feeling for the word gratitude, let alone Zheng Jun's nurturing. I'm just dependent on him, and the only thing that makes me feel grateful. It was the dean, and the dean treated me very warmly. Usually I communicate like a brother, and I am frustrated and scolded. He will be the first to stand up and scold me, at least he gives me a much more real feeling than Zheng Jun, the adoptive father.
I don't know what love is, I just know that the dean taught me the word zun. Respect the elderly, respect people, know how to respect, know how to teach. In my memory, Zheng Jun gave me nothing but scolding and intimidation. I don't have a good impression at all, and I only have a disgust for him. Until I was twelve years old, he drank and beat me to the hospital with serious injuries. It was only after I was taken in by the director of the welfare home that I was able to get out of that shade.
I looked at him with resentment, Liu Chuxiong's house lived on the second floor. And I'm closest to the window at this time, plus it's this point in the evening. Liu Chuxiong's house had just finished cooking, and the window was still open. It was impossible for me to get out of the main gate, and I challenged the dignity of my adoptive father, Zheng Jun. Even if he is not killed, he will inevitably be seriously injured and hospitalized, and the only chance to escape is to jump out of the window. The second floor fell to a height of about 40 meters, and I slid down with the friction of the wall. I will definitely be able to escape, I will hold Liu Fatzi hostage and retreat.
Liu Fatzi was frightened and teased all the time, when he was only two or three steps away from the window. I kicked Liu Chuxiong's waist, turned around and threw myself out the window. But I still overestimated my minor's body, and I jumped halfway through. Zheng Jun grabbed me by the collar with a flying pounce and pulled me back, and was pressed to the ground and beaten by Zheng Jun on the spot.
After that I lost consciousness, I don't know if I was dead or alive. After all, from the moment I challenged his dignity, I already knew that there were only two paths. Run away or die.
When I woke up, I don't know how long it had been. I was lying in the hospital with the swelling on the left side of my face. My left eye was also bleeding with signs of necrosis, and I was covered in bandages. That's when I remembered that it was before I was twelve. That gray and vague memory is like this, at that time, even if I didn't beat Liu Fatzi. At night, I would still be admitted to the hospital because of Zheng Jun's drinking, and I felt my limbs all over my body.
In addition to the slight sensory movement of the right leg, the left and right hands and the left leg have completely lost sensation. A man in military uniform walked in with Zheng Jun, and Zheng Jun's face was very gloomy. The man next to me picked me up from the bed and said to Zheng Jun, "I shouldn't have sent her child to you, if it weren't for her." You've already died on a battlefield in the south!".
When the man picked me up, the bandages on my body flowed foul-smelling thick water, and my tears flowed from the pain. Zheng Jun pulled the man's military uniform and said ashamedly, "Please... Give me one more chance to make amends. ”。
The man looked at me, and my misty gaze met it. When I saw the man's face, my eyes widened. Even though only my right eye could see, I saw this soldier. It's actually the dean!
It turned out that the dean had saved me once when I was a child, and the dean sighed and put me back on the bed.
Squatting on the edge of the bed, he looked at me and said, "I can give you a chance, I just hope you can treat him well." Ah Lian's last flesh and blood, if I let me know that you hurt this child...".
At the end of the sentence, the young dean stopped talking. He believed that even if he didn't say it, Zheng Jun would understand what he would do.
I babbled at the dean, but I was too badly hurt. Even the vocal cords could not be pronounced properly, and I watched the young dean burst into tears. Trembling slightly, the dean lowered his head and said in a trembling voice, "I'm sorry, kid." ”。
I wanted to call the dean's name, but I couldn't pronounce it properly. It didn't take long to babble and scream that could only hold on to the body and tremble desperately. I struggled to get tired and finally fell asleep.
It wasn't until I woke up again that Zheng Jun smiled at me. Handed me water, and my face was as dead as ashes.
Seeing this, the nurse on the side took the water cup and said, "Comrade Zheng, you go out and wait outside for a while." I'll take care of the child. ”。
Seeing this, Zheng Jun clenched his hands into fists. In the end, I could only honestly hand the water cup to the nurse and wait for him to leave. I tried to speak, but I couldn't do it because of a sore throat. My throat was repairing, and the child's body was fragile. But there is plenty of time, as long as it is not too badly injured. It still heals quickly, but my serious injury left me with indelible wounds.
I was blind in my left eye and lame in my left leg. The left hand and right hand can barely make a slight movement, and they can't even bend it. Because of the severe damage to his throat, he doesn't know if he will be able to speak in the future. At this time, my whole face was like ashes, and I was lying on the hospital bed as if I had lost my soul.
The nurse tried to feed me water, but my mouth felt like clay stuck together. In the end, the nurse could only use a spoon to put it in my mouth little by little, and I felt like my throat was tearing even when I drank water.
Finally I fell into a deep sleep and woke up again. The snow had begun to fall outside, and the dean was sitting next to the hospital bed with his eyes closed. I opened my eyes and looked left and right, but I couldn't see with my left eye. I could only roughly tell that there was a person on my left, and I felt a sore throat even when I turned my neck.
The dean noticed that I was awake, opened his eyes and said to me, "Son, you are finally awake." ”。
My voice was hoarse, and I said word by word, "I... Sleep... Many... It's been a long time?".
The dean smiled at me, "I didn't sleep long, don't worry, you just slept so much." ”。
I continued, "You... Lie to me. ”。
The dean was stunned, and then both of them fell silent. It was as if an invisible layer of frost had frozen the two of us in two different worlds, and the last time I was in a coma was in the summer of '72. When I slept, it was already winter in the blink of an eye. It is conceivable that I have slept for about half a year, but I have avoided many things in this sleep.
The dean opened his mouth and said, "When you're ready, I'll send you to the welfare home." ”。
I blinked in agreement, and I wasn't in the mood to pay attention to where my adoptive father, Zheng Jun, had gone. What I can focus on now I don't know, a disabled person. If you lose interest and hope, you are like a dead man.
For the next two years, the dean came to see me regularly. I often tell me about strange things outside, although I have heard many of them a long time ago. But as time passed, my dreams of the original cultivator became more and more blurred.
I'm starting to lose track of whether that world is real or not, and time goes by day by day. My body is also much better, and I can probably twist my neck a little. The left eye has not recovered, and the injuries on the body have not changed much. That is, limping with crutches, when I came to the welfare home. I met Lu Jing again, and she was adopted just like me. As for the reason why she was sent to the welfare home, she has always kept this secret, and even the director of the welfare home is tight-lipped.
She had been hiding alone in a small corner before I came, and when she saw me coming. The whole person gradually became happier, and I gradually found my purpose. With hope, I am no longer as dead as I used to be, except to attend the dean's classes every day. I would spend the rest of my time by Lu Jing's side and play with her, and over time, I had an inexplicable feeling.
At sunset, I sat quietly on the stump in the backyard of the welfare home, watching the sun fall on the mountain behind me.
Some green flames suddenly appeared in the air, and the flames gradually coalesced. The flames condensed into a man in a child's robe, and the man came up to me and said, "A mere heart demon tribulation has stopped you here, is it true that the things you swore to protect were fake?"
With that, the man waved a green flame through me. The flame burned directly on Lu Jing's body, and Lu Jing looked at him incredulously. My eyes widened. Roaring "No!".
Lu Jing's face gradually became very familiar, and my first reaction came to me. In the depths of my memory, there was a girl who followed me for a short time, and her name was Sijing.
I suddenly realized that Si Jing was my childhood friend! After I left the welfare home, Si Jing disappeared. When we met again, I saw her for the last time before I left the orphanage. It's exactly the same, it hasn't changed.
I glared at the man, gritted my teeth, and said, "I'm going to kill you." ”。
The man spread his hands and said, "Welcome, provided that you leave this calamity first." You must find the person who left you this calamity, and either convert it or kill it. ”。
With that, the man turned and turned into a flame. Soaring into the sky, the fire on Lu Jing's body gradually extinguished. And back to normal, I looked at her in a daze.
Lu Jing looked at me strangely, and she said, "What were you doing just now?" Looking at the air and talking, what else are you going to say to kill you." ”。
I walked back to Lu Jing's side, hugged her gently and said, "It's nothing, just now I thought things were too engrossed, and I accidentally hallucinated." ”。
The old wounds on my body had unconsciously recovered, and my left eye was seeing again. The surrounding environment suddenly fell into view, except for the left leg was still a little lame.
I got up and moved, and my left and right hands recovered, and I was basically able to move normally.
Seeing this, Lu Jing said happily, "Your injury is healed?"
I nodded, gently held her in my arms and said, "Because of you, I'm all right so fast." ”。
The director of the welfare home was about to come and call us to dinner, and when he saw me doing this.
"What are you two doing!!".
Hearing this, my face was slightly stunned. The heart said that it was not good, and quickly turned his head and said, "Aunt Liu, don't get me wrong, my injury is healed, just hugging Lu Jing... Phew, thank you Lu Jing!".
Liu Xianglan looked at me with a pair of suspicious eyes, and I took advantage of the situation to make a move that I couldn't do before. Liu Xianglan was overjoyed and said, "It's amazing!"
I looked at Lu Jing and smiled slightly, and then pondered.
If it weren't for the appearance of a man, I'm afraid I would still be addicted to the world now.
And when it comes to demons, I don't seem to have anything to fear me from a long time ago.
After dinner, I limped back to the backyard by myself. Continuing to think about the demons in my heart, I came up with multiple answers.
One is his adoptive father Zheng Jun, the other is Chiyang, and the other is Luo Yunxiao.
The first was a nightmare of my childhood.
The second is the one who almost killed me when I came here.
The last one is the one who hurt Sijing.
The first person is easy to find, and I don't know where to start with the last two. Because when I went to the research base, I was sent there after being stunned.
Only when I return to the research base will I have a chance to go back to the world of life and death, but even if I go. Nothing can match it in my mortal body now, and as I ponder.
Dean Qiu Changsheng came behind me, and I sensed someone approaching. Turn around and fly up, kicking someone's face.
Qiu Changsheng quickly used his grappling hand sideways, grabbing my knee with one hand. Holding my ankle with one hand, Qiu Changsheng pulled it hard.
Immediately dragged me to the ground, and my right leg, which was the only thing I could move, was clamped. Since it was too dark, I looked down on Qiu Changsheng's face, and a punch slammed into his arm.
Qiu Changsheng blocked my fist with one hand, and then grabbed my left arm and turned me over.
Suddenly, my right leg and left hand were pulled up by him, and my whole body hurt so much that even my breath went in and out.
Qiu Changsheng smiled and said, "Stinky boy, it's quite deep." ”。
After that, Qiu Changsheng let me go. He picked me up, and when I heard this, the vigilance in my heart suddenly disappeared.
hugged Uncle Qiu's neck tightly and whispered, "Thank you." ”。
When Qiu Changsheng heard this, he patted me lightly on the back.
After that, Qiu Changsheng put me down and twisted on the joint of my left leg. Said to me, "Xiaojing, you're here." ”。
When I heard this, I turned my head to look, and suddenly clicked. At that time, the pain only came one second before the scream.
"Ah!!h
My screams spread throughout the orphanage, and the director, Liu Xianglan, ran over with a team of teachers and security guards.
When he saw Qiu Changsheng, he said, "What's the matter, you two want to turn the sky upside down?"
Qiu Changsheng smiled and said, "I'll give Xiao Han a bone." ”。
Then he said to me, "What's going on, now move around and see how your left leg is doing." ”。
I moved my left foot and jumped. kicked out a complete set of Moon Shadow legs in the air one after another, stunned everyone.
The essence of the Moon Shadow leg lies in the sweep, the first half of the moon. After the full moon, sweep left and right. Following this kick method, he could kick some enemies who were approaching him out, and Qiu Changsheng was even more surprised.
If you are fighting against me at this time, Qiu Changsheng can only suppress me with the advantage of adult strength. If it is really a flat match, Qiu Changsheng may not dare to take it hard.
Afterwards, Qiu Changsheng said that he would take me to the research base. At first, Liu Xianglan was extremely resistant, but after I agreed. Liu Xianglan didn't speak anymore, and Qiu Changsheng discussed with Liu Xianglan when to pick me up.
I didn't bother to stay and listen to their conversation, so I went to find Lu Jing instead.
At this time, Lu Jing hid alone in the position where I saw her when I came to the welfare home, and I went over and gently hugged her.
Lu Jing said in a low mood: "Congratulations, someone has adopted you again." ”。
I walked up to her and said, "You can come with me." ”。
Lu Jing shook his head and said, "I'm going to wait here for someone to pick me up, and he said that he would come back to pick me up." ”。
