Chapter 52: The Father and the Son
He Xiang hurried all the way home, and plunged headlong into the mill. After a while, Father He followed him into the forest by the small river with a few thick ropes in his hand.
"Dad, no matter what happens to me for a while, you can't help me, you know?" He Xiang said to his father.
Father He nodded worriedly and checked again to see if the ropes were all tightly tied.
"Hehe, this Crystal Bone Maker is still a little smart, Chen Hu's kid's worries are a little redundant. On a treetop in the distance, Cang Tong grinned at the movements of the father and son, and his figure disappeared in a flash.
After spending the past few days with that mysterious man, He Xiang knew that he didn't like to talk nonsense. He said that the second stage would be itchy, and it would definitely be itchy. In case he couldn't help but reach out and scratch the itch, He Xiang thought of a stupid way, which was to tie himself up. As it is now, let my father separate his hands and feet and hang in the open space of these big trees.
As the sun gradually rose, He Xiang felt something strange in his body, especially the place where he was stabbed by the mysterious man last night, as if there were several caterpillars crawling constantly. "It looks like it's about to start. Dad, I think, you better stand far away and plug your ears. I'm afraid you'll ...... if you relent."
"Okay, then I'll go over there and cover my ears. After a while, if you don't itch, don't move, and your father will come and help you untie it. Father He also knew what his son was busy with in the past few days, and watched him change better and better day by day, and was happy for him in his heart. Knowing that his son's strange behavior today was to change himself better, he immediately threw down the work in his hand and followed his son.
Goo ~ Goo ~ The sound of liquid flowing sounded. Under the skin of He Xiang's bone marrow, countless gray and white liquids kept flowing around, trying to squeeze into the finger holes blocked by golden light. The golden light, which was originally blocking the entrance of the cave, saw the gray liquid rushing in, revealing a gap, leaving only a thin layer of film around the hole.
As soon as the gap in the golden light opened, the gray liquid was like a reservoir full of water opening the floodgates, and as soon as it encountered the gap, it gushed out, and kept squeezing in all directions in the finger hole. However, the thin film of golden light between the finger hole and the liquid is like a dutiful guard, no matter how the gray liquid hits, it just won't let you touch the cave wall.
The gray liquid in the finger hole accumulated more and more, and the force of the impact became more and more powerful, but not a single drop could successfully break through the golden light film. Eventually, the finger hole could no longer hold any more gray liquid, and the gray liquid that followed ruthlessly squeezed out the finger hole and flowed out little by little.
He Xiang only felt that there were countless insects and ants gnawing at his skin at this time. There were countless itching on the back, waist, hands, feet, everywhere I felt it.
At first, he could grit his teeth and hold on not to think about it, but after a long time, he could no longer bear the impact of the tickling sensation, and began to twist his body constantly, wanting to reach out and grab it.
"It's so itchy, my hands, there are bugs biting my hands, my legs, and my waist. It's so itchy~""
Father He stood in the distance, looking at his son hanging in the air, twisting his body and covering his ears with his hands. However, in my ears, there was still 'itching', 'itching'.
'Elephant, come on. Father really wants to bear this pain for you. However, my father was useless, and my father had no choice. ’
You work hard every night, and your father always sees it. You ran into the forest to vent your anger, and your father saw it. But your father can't help you. When you were called 'rubbish', your father wanted to take a knife and cut them. However, my father knows that even if he cuts them, it still can't change them from treating you like waste. Father can only endure. ’
'Endure until the moment my son becomes a waste, and endure until my son breaks out of the cage, points at those talkers, and scolds them for being 'waste'. ’
My father always believed that my son would be a genius. Therefore, my father can only watch you suffer now, because behind the pain is the moment when my son becomes a dragon. Son, come on!'
"It's itchy, it's so itchy!" He Xiang still kept writhing his body, hanging several of his big trees, and under his writhing, he kept shaking the tree poles, as if he would be pulled off in the next second. Drops of gray-white liquid, under his writhing, were thrown around the body, gradually solidified, and turned into tiny bone particles.
"It's so itchy!!"
And some of the good deeds heard the cry of the elephant and ran to peek into the forest. But after a while, they ran out again with their whole bodies clutched. When they asked why, they said, "When I look at it, I feel an itch all over my body." ”
As if a century had passed, He Xiang gasped for breath, and his face turned a little pale. "Boil...... Got through it. Haha, I got through it, Dad!"
Seeing He Xiang looking at himself and shouting, Father He hurriedly hurried over with his ear in his ear and asked, "Xiang'er, are you okay?"
"I don't itch anymore, Daddy. You put me down, I have to go and lie down in the creek and let the water wash over me. He Xiang nodded and said.
"Ah~ still want to be washed by the water in the river?" Father He looked at his son distressedly, and slowly untied the rope and let him down.
He Xiang helped his father to get up slowly, stopped his father from untying the rope in his hand, and said: "Dad, don't worry, this stage is itchy and unbearable, and washing your body with water is to prepare for the next stage." But if it itches again, you'll have to tie me up again. ”
"Oh, I see. Son, come on, dad believes you can do it. Father He gently touched his son's shoulder and encouraged.
As a result, a strange thing happened in Yifeng Village. Every day, the He family's father and son did not do business, and ran into the forest early in the morning, and then there were bursts of screams of "itching, itching". About half an hour later, Father He would help He Xiang, who was wearing a rope on all fours, to the river, and let the river wash over He Xiang's body.
What's even more strange is that sometimes rushing to rush, the father and son of the He family rushed back to the woods again, and the sound of "itching, itching" came out again. The two of them kept running between the forest and the river.
When the two mouthy mothers-in-law saw the strange appearance of the He family's father and son, some ugly rumors spread from time to time, which made He's mother angry. However, within a few days, the three members of the He family ignored this rumor, because He Xiang's body shrank a whole circle again, and he was already a normal person.
Tonight, Ho Xiang once again stood blindfolded in front of the mysterious man.
Chen Hu looked at He Xiang at this time, and his face showed joy. Most of his body was red, pieces of soft flesh that had been punctured through the skin of his bones. A small amount of paleness, a deformed bone that is still resisting stubbornly.
Cang Tong was also surprised when he saw He Xiang's body, and said, "You are very good! Your current body has broken my predetermined regulations, and now, as long as you can hold on to the last stage, your advancement will no longer be a problem." ”
The corners of He Xiang's mouth curled, and he said with a smile: "Senior, please command, He Xiang will fully cooperate." ”
"Okay, it's still the same as the first stage, you just have to endure the pain. It's just that while you endure the pain, you have to keep destroying your bone lineage. Whether it's your hard main surname, or bone strengthening, **, soften the three sub-special surnames. You'll have to keep pushing with all your might, and I'll work with your special name to strike at your most stubborn remaining bone skin. Let them spread throughout your body and help you form new bone skin. True bony skin. ”
"Senior, are you saying that I will be able to advance tonight? It's only been half a month, didn't you say it would take a month to ......" He Xiang asked eagerly and happily.
Cang Tong and Chen Hu glanced at each other and said with a smile: "Boy, don't think that you are complacent a few days in advance. The first two stages are nothing more than appetizers, real feasts, and tonight has just begun. Moreover, the active surname at this stage lies entirely with you. The longer you urge the surname, the greater the effect, and the sooner you advance. Conversely, the slower it will take you to progress. Got it?"
"I see, I'll do my best. He Xiang clenched his fists tightly, nodded heavily, and his body began to flicker with a weak luster of white and nine red points. (To be continued.) )
