And I, when I woke up again, I was already lying on the bed.
I have back pain, my brain is dizzy, and I can't even muster any strength at all.
It's like being weak after recovering from a serious illness, and even breathing is trembling.
"Ning Zi." My dad called softly, his tired face full of surprise.
"Dad..." I struggled to get up.
"Don't move, don't move, lie down first. You've been sleeping for five whole days, and I'm almost dying of anxiety." My dad hurriedly helped me tuck in the quilt, his eyes were red and swollen, and he said, "It's thanks to Master Lingxi that he saved you, if not
She, I really don’t know what to do.”
I followed my dad's line of sight and saw a young girl wearing a white down jacket standing by the window of my room.
This girl's skin is as fair as snow, fair and delicate. Her lips are like cherry blossoms, and her lips are lightly parted. Her eyebrows are like ink paintings, slightly flamboyant, but extremely beneficial.
The waterfall-like black hair reaches to the back of the waist and is simply tied with an orange ribbon.
Her clear eyes are like the eyes of a deep pool, looking elegant and noble.
She looked at me, holding a yellowed and worn book in her hand, neither sad nor happy, with a calm expression.
"Thank you, thank you." I was nervous for a while and stammered.
To be honest, I have never seen such a beautiful girl, even the female stars on TV are not as beautiful as her.
To be precise, it is the leisurely temperament that comes with her, like a lotus flower blooming in a deep mountain valley, lonely and untainted by dust.
"It's too early to thank me now. The evil spirit in you has not been eliminated."
The girl named Lingxi frowned slightly and said straight to the point: "I only helped you suppress the evil spirit in your body temporarily. You have to rely on yourself to completely eliminate it."
"Lingguan Pig is the avatar of an immortal in the sky who has come down to earth to endure calamities. The evil spirits it has evolved from are by no means comparable to ordinary lonely ghosts."
"At least I can't force it out."
Lingxi closed the book, sighed softly and said: "Everything in the world, as long as it is involved with the immortal, it is fate. If I had known this, I should not have taken this business. Otherwise, I would not be able to cure you.
He also got involved in causes and effects that he shouldn’t have involved.”
"Master Lingxi." My father begged with a face on his face: "Then what do you think we should do? My Ningzi is only eighteen years old this year and will take the college entrance examination next year."
"Do you still want to take the college entrance examination?" Lingxi raised a hint of sarcasm at the corner of his mouth and said coldly: "There is only one way to get rid of the evil spirit in his body, and that is to accumulate ten great merits to influence the evil spirit and let it return to the heaven."
"Within three years, if your son cannot convert the evil spirit, there is only one ending waiting for him, and that is death."
"The ten great merits must be the merits of saving people's lives." Lingxi explained: "The Buddhist scriptures say that saving one life is better than building a seven-level pagoda. While accumulating merits, reciting the Ksitigarbha Sutra once a day will have better effects.
.”
The uncle had been standing in the room without speaking. Now that he heard that there was a way to save my life, he immediately said, "I will listen to Master Lingxi in everything. Save Ningzi's life first."
My dad looked at me, as if asking for my opinion.
The uncle said angrily: "You are still hesitating. No matter how well you study, is it useful? If you lose your life, it won't matter if you are admitted to a first-class university."
I slowly closed my eyes, unwilling but forced to accept my fate and said: "Let's take a break from school first."
"That's right." The uncle said with satisfaction: "It's only three years. You can continue to repeat the studies after three years, but you will be a few years older."
My dad waved his hand and said: "Three years late is nothing. What I'm worried about is the ten great merits. I dare to ask Master Lingxi how to accumulate them."
Lingxi smiled half-heartedly and said, "I just said that saving people's lives is a great merit."
The uncle was confused and said: "You mean to ask my Ningzi to save ten people?"
"Well, that's pretty much what it means." Lingxi said seriously.
"This..." The uncle and my dad looked at each other, and my dad said with a bitter look on his face: "Master Lingxi, my Ningzi has no other skills except studying, how can he save people's lives?"
Lingxi stretched out her hand to brush away the broken hair scattered on her forehead, and said with an innocent expression: "I don't know about that. After all, Su Tongyuan spent a million to ask me to help her, but she only said that she would save her brother, but she didn't ask me to get rid of the evil spirit.
.”
My dad still wanted to talk, but at this moment Lingxi's cell phone suddenly rang.
"Sorry, I'll answer the phone first." Lingxi put the book in his hand on the table and walked out of the room.
I was lying on the bed, thinking about the three words Su Tongyuan that Lingxi had just said, and my emotions were complicated, like waves.
My name is Suning. I am from Taoshan Village, a coastal area in the south of the Yangtze River. I am eighteen years old this year.
When I was seven years old, my mother met a wealthy man, divorced my father, and took away my sister Su Tongyuan, who was three years older than me.
Since then, I have become a motherless child in other people's mouths.
In the past eleven years, they have never visited me or looked for me.
I didn't know where they went, and I didn't even think about contacting them again.
My mother's death is like a thorn in my heart that I can't let go of, let alone forgive.
But now, the Lingxi who saved my life turned out to be paid for by my sister whom I had been separated from for eleven years. This shocked me and I couldn't help but find it extremely ridiculous.
It's funny that I still have a biological mother and biological sister.
"Ningzi, don't blame your dad, he had no choice but to do it." The uncle moved a chair and sat beside my bed and whispered: "The night you fell into coma, you fell to the ground. Your face turned black, you were foaming at the mouth, and you were all confused."
It almost scared us to death.”
"Your second uncle sent you to the hospital in the town all night long. He kept trying until dawn. The doctor was surprised that he couldn't cure you and even suggested that we transfer you to another hospital."
"Your father knelt on the ground and cried loudly, kowtowing to the doctors and nurses on duty one by one, begging them to save you."
"In the end, there was really nothing we could do. It was I who asked your father to contact that woman." The uncle said helplessly: "After all, you are also her son, especially Tong Yuan, who has secretly given money to your father over the years."
"Based on your father's temper, he didn't want to have anything to do with them. But your father said that our family's conditions are poor. When you grow up, you will have to spend money to get married and have children. Your father has no big future and has been farming for a living.
I can't help you."
"So I have kept it secret from you all these years, mainly because I was afraid that you would have random thoughts."
When the uncle said this, he lowered his voice and said seriously: "They owe you this, whether you want to or not will be discussed later. For now, the most important thing is to get rid of the evil spirit in you. Saving your life is the most important thing."
My dad said cautiously: "I haven't touched any of the money Tong Yuan gave me. It's all kept in my card. If you don't like it, I'll pay it back to her in person when you get better."
"I know." I took a deep breath and put aside those complicated emotions for the time being.
As my uncle said, what I need to do most now is to deal with the evil spirits.
The reason why the evil spirit of the Lingguan Pig came to haunt me was simply because I was there on the day the pig was killed.
If grandpa is the murderer who took its life, then I am an accomplice.
If the murderer dies, the accomplice will naturally die too.
But if you want to deal with evil spirits, you have to accumulate ten great merits to save people's lives. I'm just an ordinary mortal with no skills, so why should I save people's lives?
When I think of this, I can't help but feel a headache and feel panicked.
