Chapter 17: The Son
At the end of the old street, less than 100 meters away from the farm, Aunt Wang carried the bag of mint on her back, clutched the medicine bag tightly in her hand, and walked fast, looking around like a thief.
She took three steps and two steps, stepped into a large tiled house at the end of the old street, locked the door tightly, and breathed a sigh of relief.
"Wife, have you gotten the things back?" At this moment, a man's low and hoarse voice came from inside the east room, which sounded very irritable and weak.
"Get it back!" Aunt Wang put down the bag of mint: "You come out and see, is the portion enough?" ”
The man's voice sounded again: "That kid didn't suspect anything, did he?" When you came back, were you seen by anyone else? ”
"No, who would dare to go out now......" Aunt Wang muttered.
The man was silent for a long time before he slowly spoke: "Then you go and take care of your son first, I'll sleep for a while, I tossed all night last night, and I can't open my sleepy eyes now...... By the way, I'm ready for something. ”
The door of the east room was pushed open, and the man handed out a hollow steel pipe the thickness of his thumb from inside.
Aunt Wang took the steel pipe and walked towards a hut in the southeast corner of the courtyard with a bag full of mint.
It was June, and although it was early in the morning, the temperature was nearly 20 degrees, and at noon it was close to 40 degrees, but in such a hot day, the windows of the cottage were so tightly closed that even the door was covered with a thick layer of cotton curtains.
Aunt Wang walked to the door of the hut, put on several layers of masks very seriously, and tentatively opened the door curtain through a gap, and her tone became very gentle, as if she was afraid of disturbing the people inside.
"Son, mom is coming in...... You see, I brought some medicine back, you can eat it all and get a good night's sleep, and it won't be so uncomfortable, by the way, I also brought back a bunch of mint, put it in the house, and it won't smell so bad......"
As Aunt Wang spoke, she tiptoed into the room, and as the door curtain was completely lifted, a foul smell rushed to her face, even if she wore several layers of masks, she could still feel the smell keep burrowing into her nose.
It is a smell similar to rotten meat, and when people smell it, they will not only be extremely nauseous physically, but also psychologically produce a bad association.
It was pitch black inside the room, and there was only "purring...... purr" is a sound similar to the wheezing of a scalper.
"Son, mom is going to turn on the lights, don't be afraid!" Aunt Wang spoke softly, touched the light switch, and pressed it gently.
For a moment, a blinding light lit up in the hut, illuminating everything in an instant.
"Whew! Yes! The moment the light came on, a beast-like roar rang out in the hut, accompanied by the "Whoa!" "Boom!"
In the corner of the hut, there was a monster tied to the radiator with an iron chain!
Its face had completely festered, its eyes had long since lost its pupils, its fangs looked extremely hideous and terrifying, and at this time, its limbs and body were tightly wrapped around a heavy iron chain, which was very tight, and in some places it had been strangled into flesh and blood, and it looked very miserable.
This is a "licker" that has been completely mutated!
"Whoa!" The licker seemed to smell the breath of a living person, and roared wildly, rushing forward like a hungry wild dog, opening its bloody mouth full of fangs and gnawing forward, and the chains tied to the radiator were also stretched straight, as if they would be torn off in the next second.
"Xiaobei ......" Aunt Wang looked at her "son" and burst into tears: "It's all bad for mom and dad, if we didn't let you go out last night, you wouldn't have been bitten by monsters, and you wouldn't have become like this!" ”
"Xiaobei, you are obedient, you take the medicine, sleep well, we will find a way to turn you back!"
Aunt Wang trembled and raised the steel pipe in her hand and inserted it into the mouth of her "son".
And Xiaobei had already lost his mind at this time, only instinct remained, and the next moment, it began to frantically gnaw on the steel pipe that was stuffed into its mouth.
Quack!
Quack!
The fangs began to crumble, and the black blood flowed out of Xiaobei's mouth, and Aunt Wang held back her tears and poured the "sleeping pills" she got from Lu Xun down the hollow of the steel pipe.
"Whew!"
As if realizing that the steel pipe was not flesh and blood, Xiaobei began to shake his head frantically, and with its action, more than a dozen small blue pills did not enter its mouth smoothly at all, but scattered all over the ground and fell into a pool of blood on the ground.
"Whew! Oh! Whoa! Xiaobei kept rushing forward, and let out a terrifying roar, the force was so great that even the radiator that was fixed to the wall began to loosen, and the wall skin began to fall down.
"Xiaobei, Xiaobei, don't be like this, mom is afraid ......"
"Whoa!"
Aunt Wang looked at the pills scattered all over the place, and then looked at the crazy "son", her emotions that had lasted all night finally collapsed, she picked up the steel pipe in her hand and smashed it desperately on Xiaobei, crying while smashing: "Can you listen to Mom?" Don't make any more trouble, if someone from the Sheriff's Department finds out, they'll kill you! ”
"I know I'm sorry for you, I know you're uncomfortable right now! Otherwise, shall we die together as a family? ”
"We will all die, and we will not have to suffer this sin again!"
"What ...... Evil Have I Created?"
Aunt Wang smashed Xiaobei's head and broke the bleeding, sat on the ground, crying loudly, and her body kept convulsing.
Xiaobei also fell to the ground, and finally quieted down, panting violently, and blood kept oozing out of his mouth, nose, and head.
Dozens of seconds later, Aunt Wang wiped the snot and tears on her face, squeezed out a smile again, looked at Xiaobei with a smile and said softly: "Xiaobei, mom doesn't want to beat you, as long as you are obedient, mom promises not to beat you again in the future." ”
"Come, take the medicine......"
Aunt Wang stood up again, and after calming her emotions, she picked up the medicine scattered all over the place and fed it to Xiaobei again.
This time, Xiaobei seemed very cooperative, of course, it is also possible that he was injured by the beating and was unable to continue to resist.
After feeding the medicine to Xiaobei's mouth, Aunt Wang's mood seemed to have changed a little, she glanced at the dinner plate on the table next to her, which was already cooled egg fried rice, which was the supper she made for Xiaobei in the middle of the night last night, and the rice in the plate was motionless, it was obvious that Xiaobei, who had mutated, had no interest in this kind of thing at all.
"Son, what do you want to eat? Shall I give you egg custard? Otherwise...... Beef in sauce? Ham sausage? Aunt Wang asked patiently and softly.
Xiaobei gasped violently, without any reaction.
"Then I'll kill a chicken for you......" Aunt Wang spoke again.
"He should just want to eat you now!"
The heavy door curtain was suddenly lifted, and an extremely indifferent voice sounded, Lu Xun walked in, holding the pistol tightly in his hand, staring at Aunt Wang and Xiaobei who were tied to the radiator, and said expressionlessly:
"Aunt Wang, it seems that I guessed correctly, you really raised a monster at home!"
