Chapter 4: The Eyes of the Spirit
I wanted to find a kitchen knife and cut off my wrists, so that I wouldn't have to be devoured and hollowed out by the worm that this lump of flesh had turned back into. It seems that I am still young, and I was so scared that I wanted to cut off my wrists.
Before I could step into the threshold of the stove house, I heard a voice coming from above me: "What do you want to do?" Looking for a kitchen knife? ”
"My good man, who's talking, who, you come out!" I was a little scared, and my voice felt like my throat was broken.
"I won't come out, I was ordered to come over and teach you mana, and if you come out, you won't be able to teach it." The sound was thin, like a duckling's voice, and it was still wispping above my head.
I really can't stand it anymore, is this a lump of flesh talking to me?
In fact, with just these two sentences, I have already rushed into my stove house. I saw that after my mother finished cooking, she washed the kitchen knife and put it on the cutting board, and I had two or three more steps to reach the kitchen knife.
However, there was an old man with a white beard in a white robe with wide sleeves in front of me, and this old man stood between me and the board with a crooked crutch.
Just as I stretched out my hand to remove the old man who was blocking me, I saw the old man raise his arm, and the wide and fat sleeves brushed gently in front of my eyes, and I only heard a huge buzzer.
I woke up three days later, and when I woke up, my dad was sitting on the bench next to the bed, smacking a tobacco pouch and looking at me as if he didn't know me.
I lay on the bed, looked at the coins tied to the beams on the roof of my house, and looked at my father sitting next to the bed, and asked my father, "Dad, you have come back from the ground, why am I sleeping on the bed?" ”
When my father heard me speak, he quickly knocked the cigarette bag pot on the leg of the bench, and when the smoke dissipated, my father looked at me: "Xiaoliang, you have been lying in bed and sleeping for three days and three nights." ”
Oh my God, what, I've slept for three days and three nights, how can it be?
My own mind went blank, and then I turned my head and saw my grandmother coming in from outside the courtyard wall through the gable of my western house, holding a large porcelain bowl in her hand, and the bowl was still steaming.
"Has Xiaoliangwa been saved, it's been three days, why are you still waking up?" Before my grandmother entered the house, she began to ask my father anxiously. My dad heard my grandmother talking and hurried out of the house.
I was just about to close my eyes and brush up on my memories, but I suddenly realized how I saw my grandmother coming in from the outside through the thick gable of my house......
No way, if my grandmother spoke, I heard the voice and let me know that my grandmother was coming, but before my grandmother spoke, I actually saw her walking in from the outside with a bowl.
I quickly turned around, opened my eyes, and through the gable of the West Winghouse, I saw my father walking up to my grandmother and talking in a whisper, and I could hear it clearly, and I knew what he was saying without even looking at the shape of my father's mouth.
"Xiaoliang just woke up, he has passed out for three days, and he doesn't know what time it is, and he is talking nonsense."
As soon as my grandmother heard what my father said, she quickly shoved the bowl in her hand into my father's arms, rushed to the West House, sat on my bed, touched my face, tried my forehead, and took my hand, and looked up and down several times.
"Xiao Liangwa, what's wrong with you, isn't there anything uncomfortable, you've been sleeping for three days." My grandmother seemed very anxious and kept asking me this and that. I didn't have a chance to answer, I wanted to sit up, but I didn't have much energy, and I tried several times to no avail.
My dad came in with a bowl, and my milk snatched it and brought it to my mouth, scooped a poached egg in the bowl with an aluminum spoon, and was about to feed me. I sat up slowly and painstakingly, only to feel that there were stars in front of me, how did I know, for three days and three nights, I had not eaten, and now I was dizzy with hunger, and I had no strength at all.
I looked at the poached eggs sent by my milk, and I ate all the five poached eggs in the bowl one by one, and even drank a drop of brown sugar water in the bowl in one go.
My father, my milk is on the side, looking at my eating appearance, I can't cry or laugh, but no one blames me, when I finish eating and drinking, my milk strokes my forehead, takes my hand, and slowly asks me: "Xiaoliang, what's wrong with you, you have a good time at home, why can you suddenly faint and sleep in the courtyard?" ”
At this time, I remembered that after I was drilled into my wrist by the lump of flesh made by the long green worm, I wanted to take a kitchen knife to remove the hand of the bowl to prevent the lump from eating me up, but when I saw the old man with a white beard and white eyebrows brushing it in front of my eyes with his wide sleeve, I fainted and was in a coma for three days and three nights......
But I didn't dare to tell my father and my grandmother the truth, I just kept rubbing the corners of my clothes with my hands, pretending to be like I had amnesia and didn't know anything, just playing in the yard, I felt so sleepy, so I fell asleep all at once.
My grandmother was a little skeptical, but because I had just woken up, she didn't break the casserole and sat on the edge of my bed for a while, and then went out. I watched my grandmother walk out of the house, and then to the outside of the yard, until I went to the courtyard of my old house, and I could see my grandmother's every move, even though it was separated by the gable wall of my house, and the courtyard wall was so high and thick. Could it be that I was so dizzy that my eyes could see people through the house?
I was a little taken aback and couldn't believe it was true. So, when my father went out to get the tobacco leaves, I put my hand into the quilt, through the quilt, I can clearly see that I was drilled into the wrist by the green worm lump, and now there is a soybean grain size lump, I looked carefully several times, after making sure of it, I stretched out my hand from the quilt, and came to my eyes, really, through the quilt, and not across the quilt, what I saw was exactly the same, at my wrist, there was a lump of flesh the size of a soybean grain, I touched it, It doesn't hurt or itch, it's just a slight bulge.
I ate a few poached eggs brought by my milk, leaned on the bed for a while, felt a little strength in my body, and wanted to lift the quilt and get out of bed and walk, before I could jump under the bed with my hand on the bed, I don't know where the strength came from, I just jumped up from the bed as if I had a spring, and I was about to hit the beam of the roof, I screamed in fright, and fell down, and fell on the bed with a bang.
When my father heard my scream, he hurriedly rushed in from outside, shouting as he ran: "What's wrong with Xiaoliang, what's wrong with Xiaoliang......"
Fortunately, I didn't get hurt from the fall, I lay on the bed, a little frightened, looked at my dad who ran in, panted, and said to my dad, "It's okay, it's okay, I want to get out of bed and go out for a walk." ”
My father saw that I was fine, so he wanted to come and help me, and I quickly shook my hand, meaning that I could do it myself.
