Chapter Seventy-Seven: Fulfilling a Wish
Gu Yunzhe told Zihe his inner questions.
Zihe pondered slightly, "Big brother, Brother Xiao has been active in the South China Sea for a long time, and his father has had many entanglements with the countries of the South Seas. My father once told me that there is a widespread witchcraft in the South Seas, which is the use of curses as a means of attack, the art of lowering the head. This kind of spell, the means of casting spells are very different, but there are common places, it mostly uses human bones, blood, human hair and skin, or some kind of wood and stone and other materials as a guide, chanting the practice, driving the yin god, evil spirits and other spirits, to the designated target to cast spells. It can be roughly divided into two parts: head lowering and Gu poison, and judging from the results of Brother Xiao's examination during the day, it should belong to one of the Gu poisons. It is similar to the Yin and Yang Head Lowering Grass, it is said that after this kind of head falling, it will grow quietly in the body, at the beginning, it has no effect on his body, and when it reaches a certain moment, it will break out, and then the victim will have a high fever and will not go away, and then go crazy and die. There is no cure, and it is extremely dangerous. Fortunately, if it is detected early, there are ways to slow down the spread of this toxin. If you want to eradicate it, you must break down the altar that descends, but the world is too big to find. ”
Gu Yunzhe nodded in agreement. After thinking for a moment, he said to the conductor, "We already know what happened after your death, tell us your wishes, and I will do my best to help you complete it." ”
The conductor lowered his head, was silent for a long time, and raised his head, "When I died, the child in the family was just over five years old, and after so many years, I want to go and see my daughter, my husband and my mother-in-law, and meet them." ”
"Yes. However, only to meet your family, after the wish has been granted, you must leave this body. If you agree, I'll take you there. If you regret it, I'll let you die on the spot. Gu Yunzhe said solemnly.
The conductor nodded in agreement.
After dawn, Gu Yunzhe bought a set of clothes and a pair of large sunglasses from the shopping mall next to the hospital and dressed up the conductor. Zihe stayed in the hospital, taking care of Zhang Jianqiang, and waiting for the arrival of Zhang's sister-in-law.
Gu Yunzhe took him, got into a taxi, and rushed to his home. It's just that the place is relatively remote and far away from the city, and the average driver is reluctant to come, because they often can only return with an empty car, and they can't row. Gu Yunzhe told the driver to let him wait there, and still take his car on the return trip, and the driver agreed satisfied.
The conductor's home, which is a small village just near the newly opened Fifth Ring Road, was fortunately not demolished for road construction. The taxi stopped at the entrance of the village, and the two walked down.
Gu Yunzhe walked in front, holding the conductor's arm with his hand. At this time, the conductor was wearing sunglasses and pretending to be blind. At the signal of the conductor, he turned a few corners and stopped in front of a large black iron gate. Gu Yunzhe stepped forward and tapped a few times on the door.
Soon, a man's voice came from inside, "Who?" At the same time, there was the sound of footsteps walking towards the door.
......The door opened to the inside, and a thin middle-aged man, wearing a police coat, walked out sideways from the inside. looked Gu Yunzhe and the two up and down, "Who are you?" ”
"Hello, is this Fu Jingfang's home?" Gu Yunzhe reported the name of the conductor.
The middle-aged man frowned, "Ah, my daughter-in-law's name is called this." Who the hell are you? ”
From the moment the conductor saw this person, his whole body began to tremble with excitement, and he took a step forward, "You are Liu Jun." ”
The middle-aged man was even more confused, he didn't expect this man wearing sunglasses to know his name, but in his memory, he had no impression of the two people in front of him at all. Nodding a little blankly, "I am!" ”
Gu Yunzhe saw that the conductor was a little excited, and hurriedly walked to her side, held her arm, and gently pinched it. Relax the conductor's mind. Then he turned around and said to the middle-aged Liu Jun, "We came all the way to thank you." This is my brother, because of a sudden illness on the bus a few years ago, he was sent to the hospital with the help of Sister Fu. Because of the timely delivery, a life was saved. After several years of treatment, I was able to walk normally, but the eye was blind due to sequelae. No, after inquiry, someone told you that your family lives here, so we came here and wanted to come to your house to express our gratitude. ”
After Liu Jun listened, his expression was a little lonely, and he sighed, "Don't follow here, come in." After speaking, he opened the door and led the way in front, Gu Yunzhe supported the conductor to follow behind and walked in.
A few people walked into the main hall, and at this time there were two elderly people inside, who should be Liu Jun's parents, choosing vegetables and noodles in the hall, and it seemed that they were preparing lunch. Seeing Gu Yunzhe and the two, he warmly beckoned them to sit on the sofa.
The moment Gu Yunzhe walked into the door, he could see that the family's life was not very rich. The furniture in the hall has already shown strong signs of age, and the lacquer on it is mottled in several places. The sofa is also the old style, with a particularly large floral cloth on top of it, which is used as a sofa cover.
The two old men enthusiastically poured them a glass of boiled water, and then sat next to them and chatted with Gu Yunzhe and the others, and the two of them said this again at the door, extending it for a while. By this time, the conductor's mood had calmed down a lot.
Just when the matter of the conductor was mentioned, the family's mood immediately became depressed.
The old lady wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes sadly, "What a good person my daughter-in-law is, she has a good personality and is active in her work, no one expected to encounter such a catastrophe." No one is alive, no corpse is dead. Until now, the Public Security Bureau still registers the missing person and has not given up the search, but after so many years, there is no news, and we are no longer hopeful. ”
The conductor also wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes, "Auntie, with a mother-in-law like you, even if she is no longer alive, she will be at ease." ”
While talking, the curtain was lifted from outside the house, and a teenage girl rushed in, wearing a pink cotton suit, a ponytail, and some dust on her face. ”
From the moment he saw the little girl, the conductor's body trembled again, even more violently than when he was at the gate. When she finally saw her child, she was extremely excited. If it weren't for Gu Yunzhe beside her, pressing her arm tightly, it is estimated that she would have stood up and pounced on her, holding her daughter in her arms.
Gu Yunzhe was even more nervous than her next to her, afraid that she would not be able to control it and smash her performance. Gu Yunzhe looked at the little girl and said with a smile, "This is your girl, it's so big." Uncle came for the first time and didn't bring anything. It's almost the Chinese New Year, and this is your New Year's money. As he spoke, he took out his wallet from his arms, took out dozens of hundred-yuan bills from it, and handed them over.
Liu Jun and the two old men hurriedly stood up, looking at the pile of banknotes in Gu Yunzhe's hand, let alone five or six thousand, it can be said to be a huge amount of money for people like them who are not wealthy. Hurriedly waved his hand and pushed the banknote back.
Gu Yunzhe said, "Brother Liu, allow me to say something." If it weren't for Sister Fu's timely rescue, my eldest brother wouldn't be where he is today. Don't shirk anymore, you see that my eldest brother is so excited that he is about to get sick again. We've been begging for mercy for a long time, so we're leaving. With that, he put the money on the couch, picked up the increasingly excited conductor, and walked outside.
The conductor's mood was completely uncontrollable, and when Gu Yunzhe pulled her out of the house, she turned around suddenly. This scared Gu Yunzhe a lot, and the golden needle in the palm of her hand almost rushed into her body.
It's just that the conductor looked at the little girl and said in a trembling voice: "Juanzi, you have to study hard!" Listen to your dad and be filial to your grandparents. You ......" Before she finished speaking, her body tilted and she collapsed limply.
The startled family stepped forward to help, but Gu Yunzhe took the first step, put Xiao Yuanqing's body on his shoulder, and left a sentence, "I'll take him to the hospital, and the car is at the entrance of the village." With that, he strode out.
The family arrived at the gate, saw the backs of the two disappear around the corner, and turned back. Liu Jun saw the little girl standing at the door of the main room at a glance, and suddenly stopped, staring at his daughter in a daze. The old couple saw Liu Jun's expression very strangely, walked back, and asked, "Son, what's wrong?" ”
Liu Jun slapped his thigh suddenly, "No! He turned and ran, his clothes slipping off without noticing, while his parents picked them up from the ground and chased him after him.
Liu Jun gasped, and when he ran to the entrance of the village, he saw a taxi, which had already driven away, leaving only the dust raised behind him, which was slowly falling. The daughter in the back took his coat and ran over, and then his parents followed in small steps. Liu Jun took the clothes from his daughter's hand, put them on, and pulled his daughter back step by step.
The old couple watched Liu Jun come back, stood there waiting for him, and when he got closer, they asked, "What's wrong, is there anything wrong with those two, what did you find?" ”
Liu Jun wiped his eyes with tears, "That's Jingfang." The one wearing sunglasses just now was Jing Fang. ”
"What, how can you be sure." The old couple said in surprise.
Liu Jun pulled his daughter over and pointed at her, "Except for our family, who can call her Juanzi." And the man was a man he had never met. ”
After hearing this, the old couple almost couldn't stand, turned around and looked outside the village, where was Gu Yunzhe and them.
Gu Yunzhe and the conductor took a taxi back to the hospital again, and the conductor was unconscious all the way. Gu Yunzhe carried him into the ward. At this time, there were a lot of people in the ward, Sister-in-law Zhang, Na Tu, and the clerks in the Panjiayuan store, Kuang Yixun and Yu Wenyi were also there.
A group of people were chatting hotly in the house, and suddenly saw Gu Yunzhe walking in with a person on his back, and he put Xiao Yuanqing back on the hospital bed. Standing up, everyone in the room said hello, and then said to Zihe to let her stay, and the others are waiting outside for the time being.
Soon, there were only three of them in the ward, and Gu Yunzhe pulled the curtain next to the bed over to cover the bed. Then, sitting up Xiao Yuanqing's body, his consciousness thunder quickly rushed into Xiao Yuanqing's eyebrows.
Lei Jiao entered Xiao Yuanqing's mind and saw that there was a silky black filament here, struggling, trying to get rid of the golden net on the outside of its body, and there was still some black gas around it.
After the black filament saw the Lei Jiao, it did not retreat, facing the end of the Lei Jiao, a gap was opened, like a mouth, and a "hiss" provocative sound came out from it.
Lei Jiao said, "You have to keep your promise, it's time to leave this body." ”
Filigree no longer paid attention to the golden net on the outside of its body, and sucked the surrounding black gas into its mouth, its body was like a balloon, rapidly expanding, and soon turned into a giant earthworm, second only to Lei Jiao in size, but without facial features, its whole body was covered with a wrinkled brown epidermis, and a round mouth full of sharp teeth. With a flick of the giant mouth, he first launched an offensive and rushed towards Lei Jiao.
Lei Jiao sighed lightly, his body was slightly sideways, and the long tail behind him flicked forward, sweeping towards the giant mouth of the black earthworm, "Smack!" "Pump it hard.
The giant jaw of the black earthworm was pumped high and landed in the distance. It stood up, threw its head up and roared. Then, he opened his mouth and spewed out a puff of black smoke and wrapped it towards Lei Jiao.
Lei Jiao shook his head slightly, and also opened his mouth, spewing out a mouthful of flames. It collided with the black smoke that rushed quickly, and there was no sound coming out, and the black smoke was quickly incinerated away.
The black earthworm no longer attacked, but coiled its body like a snake formation. The giant mouth opens to the maximum and begins to inhale. Wisps of red mist rushed in from the edge of his mind and were sucked into his mouth by the black earthworm. As you can see, the appearance of the black earthworm has changed, long legs have begun to grow on the sides of its body, and black claws and eyes have appeared on its head, becoming more and more like a black centipede.
And just as the black earthworm was transforming, Xiao Yuanqing's body began to tremble violently, and it could be seen that there were bulges squirming under his skin.
Zi He next to him frowned when he saw this scene.
