Chapter 4: The Blind Man and the Half-Immortal

The goddess looked at me condescendingly, with a hint of pity and disgust in her eyes.

"Don't do this in front of my door! I don't know, I thought it was my horse fragrance, why did you have a house! Your family asked me to help you exorcise evil spirits, and I said it well before I went, after the family immortal got on his body, he couldn't collide with the immortal.

The result? If I hadn't cut a piece of my own flesh for the family immortals, even I would have suffered now! ”

As she spoke, she rolled up her sleeves, and saw that her left arm was wrapped in gauze, and the gauze was still stained with red blood.

I kowtowed harder, and there was a blur in front of me: "Please, please!" ”

She looked at me, the flesh on her face trembled, and she said coldly: "It's useless for you to look for me!" Now it's not just the immortals who are eyeing you, but also ......"

At this point, she closed her mouth at once, like a parrot with a cut tongue and a gourd with a sawed mouth.

It was as if there was something terrible that made her extremely jealous.

My snot ran into my mouth, blood flowed into my eyes, it was itchy and salty, but I didn't have time to wipe it.

I hugged her thighs like I was holding on to the last straw.

The goddess pushed me away in disgust, and suddenly her eyes rolled and pointed into the distance: "Let me show you a clear path, there is a blind man and a half-immortal living in the col, and it is said that he has some ability."

If you can invite him out of the mountain, there is still hope for life. ”

I looked in the direction of her finger and immediately understood.

She was talking about a blind man who had come to the village at about the same time as the strange old man.

The strange old man was lame and he was blind, and when they came to the village with their front and back feet, it also caused discussion among the villagers.

If the weird old man is crazy and weird, then the blind man is silent and gloomy.

The blind man's face was densely covered with scars, criss-crossed, a pair of white eyes, and pupils twitched from time to time.

At nightfall, he would walk around the village on crutches and with a flashlight.

Round and round.

No more, no less, exactly eighteen laps.

Eighteen is not a good number.

I was a little afraid of him, not because of that, but because I always felt that his white eyes were looking me up and down.

His pupils were hidden under the white membrane, his mind was hidden in the scars, and when he smiled at me, the scars on his face seemed to come to life, ugly and terrible.

I've been trying to avoid him before.

Just as I couldn't avoid the strange old man, I can't avoid him now.

I ran as fast as I could.

By this time, it was already dark.

The goblins wrapped around me came alive and hit my back one at a time.

"Bang bang", the black fog that only I could see enveloped me, and I didn't notice it for a moment and fell to the ground.

I didn't care about the pain, I crawled and limped forward.

At this moment, I was lame and blind.

When I found the blind man, he had just completed eighteen laps.

I fell on my knees and begged him to save my family.

He stood in silence, his white eyes turning from side to side, his outline blurred by the night.

"Take me to your house."

He'll save me!

I thanked him excitedly and brought him into my home.

The mother had already fainted, and the father was sitting on the ground holding her, and the leg injury was even worse.

The blind man shut me out and said he wanted to talk to my father alone.

I leaned close to the door to hear what they were saying.

Sawdust fell from the old wooden door, and the peculiar wetness of the wood beat on my ears, and it was so quiet that it seemed like no one was there.

In my old and dilapidated house, I can hear the sound of walking on tiptoe clearly, why has the sound insulation become so good now?

I quietly opened the wooden door through a crack, and when I looked in, I was facing a white flowery eye!

The eyes seemed to be wrapped in a film, and the pupils were straight and gloomy, like a foggy night, which made people feel frightened.

I was so frightened that I took a few steps back, my legs limp, and I didn't dare to look again.

The blind man opened the door, and his voice was low and pleasant: "You take this, and you are not allowed to take it off in the bath." ”

He took an emerald green bead from his bosom and handed it to my hand.

I took the beads and put them around my neck, and I felt a light on my back for a moment.

I ran to the well and looked inside.

A thin boy was reflected in the water of the well, with a gloomy, gray face, and weeds and blood on his forehead.

It's my shadow!

It's just my shadow!

Those messy, weird and bizarre things are really gone!

My mother ran out of the house, took me into her arms, cried and cried, and asked me if I was okay, saying it was all her fault.

I collapsed into my mother's warm arms and shook my head to indicate that it was okay.

The blind man's deep voice came: "Since it's okay, then I'll go first......"

I always felt that something was strange, but the joy of getting better and getting rid of evil made me dizzy, and I just wanted to thank him.

The parents' expressions were a little strange, and when they looked at the blind man, they couldn't tell whether they were more grateful or resentful.

After the blind man left, my mother applied a thick layer of ointment to my back.

When my physical illness was gone, I started to worry about my family again.

The death of livestock has made it even more difficult for families who are barely fed, and if the blind man asks for a lot of money, how will he live in the future?

"Mom, how much did the blind half-immortal cost?"

The mother was stunned, turned her head away, and sulked: "Not much." If you study hard, you will have a good life in the future. ”

When the mother said the last sentence, her voice was very small and she trembled a little.

I clenched my fists and made up my mind that I must let my parents have a good life.

I was lying on the kang, the plaster behind me was hot, and I was about to fall asleep in a daze, when I suddenly reacted.

When my mother asked me if I was okay, I just shook my head but didn't speak.

But the blind man seems to know.

What did he say?

"Since there is nothing to do......"

I shivered, and suddenly came to my senses, and I got goosebumps on my body.

How does he know my movements? Isn't he invisible?!

He...... Is it really blind?

That night, I couldn't fall asleep until the morning.

Just then, I had another nightmare.

The one-legged red-clad ghost smiled at me, tore my mouth open, tore out my tongue, and threw it into the fire, making a "zig" sound.

It stretched out its long claws to choke my neck.

At that moment, the beads around my neck glowed a faint green.

It screamed, and its hands were burned to the point of festering.

It looked at me viciously, its black and white eyes looking like they were about to fall out of its sockets.

It says, "I'll come back to you!" ”

The red-clad ghost is gone.

There was nothing in my dreams.

It's me who misunderstood the half-immortal, he really helped me!

I finally got a good night's sleep, and by the time I woke up, it was already the next night.

I slept for a day and a night!

I looked down at the green bead around my neck and felt that it was even brighter than it was yesterday.
