When I woke up again, I was already lying on a wooden bed, with a kerosene lamp as bright as a bean light on the bedside.
Sitting on the edge of the bed was a girl in school uniform, it was Peng Susu. She held a towel in her hand and put it on my forehead.
"Susu!" I opened my mouth weakly and said, feeling as if my whole body had lost all strength.
"Brother Qiao, are you awake?"
Peng Susu shouted to me with excitement on her face.
"Well! I woke up. By the way, what happened to me?" I asked in confusion.
"Brother Qiao, you can rest assured and recuperate! You have been infected by the zombie's corpse energy. Now the corpse poison has entered your body." Peng Susu replied.
I looked at my arm and was shocked to find that my entire arm had turned green.
"Susu, is there a mirror? I want to see what I look like now?" I immediately thought of the people on TV who were bitten by zombies and how they would look like when they turned into zombies soon.
I couldn't help but touch my teeth with my hands. Fortunately, they had not become longer.
When Peng Susu saw me like this, she let out a "chi" sound and burst into laughter.
"Brother Qiao, I looked like you were scared. Don't worry, my dad is here. You will definitely not turn into a zombie."
"By the way, where is your dad? Where is he now?" I asked.
"He went to help you make a plaster to remove corpse qi." Su Su replied.
As soon as she finished speaking, she heard a concerned greeting from behind her: "Qiao Yang, you're awake. That's great!"
It was Peng Dehai who entered the room holding two pieces of black plaster.
He sat down in front of me and comforted me: "Qiao Yang, don't think too much. I have a way to remove the corpse poison on your body. In the next days, don't go anywhere. Just
Recuperate well at my house. Don't worry, my family will take care of your food, food, and housing, and I won't charge you a penny."
"Yes!" I nodded and said, "Thank you, uncle!"
"Just call me uncle, uncle is so ugly!" Peng Dehai said with a slight smile.
I had no choice but to call him uncle again.
Peng Dehai smiled with satisfaction, then glanced at the small alarm clock on the table, and told Su Su with a stern face: "Wait a while, when it comes to Xu time, you can stick these two pills on the table for me."
On Qiao Yang's arm, Xu time is his natal time, so the plaster applied at this time will be more effective."
After that, he sighed again: "I think I won't be able to come back for a while tonight. I have to go to the mountains to get him corpse grass. Otherwise, when noon tomorrow, he will
The corpse energy in the body cannot be removed, so time is very urgent. Also, remember to soak him in corpse-removing water at midnight or next hour. Do you understand?"
"Dad, I understand. Be careful on the road, and by the way, take Black Tiger with you!" Peng Susu said, her eye circles a little moist.
Peng Dehai turned back and looked at me, smiled and said: "Qiao Yang, you are so lucky to be at home recovering from your injuries. I'll be right back."
"Uncle, you must be careful!" I warned from the bottom of my heart.
"Don't worry, I'm an old man in the mountains. The flying corpses didn't do anything to me today!"
He replied with a smile on his face, and then said to his daughter: "Okay, I'm leaving. Remember to take good care of Qiao Yang."
He patted his daughter's shoulder gently, stood up and walked straight outside.
Black Tiger followed up consciously.
"Dad, please bring this with you!"
Peng Susu took a flashlight from the table and chased out the door.
"Okay! You go back first, there is no need to send me off. Take good care of Qiao Yang and don't make any mistakes." Peng Dehai told Su Su seriously.
Hearing these words made me feel warm in my heart, and at the same time I felt a little sad. Unexpectedly, this burial of corpses would implicate the father and daughter.
Peng Dehai left with Black Tiger and disappeared into the vast night.
Susu returned to my side again.
She placed the two plasters on the table with a smile on her face: "Brother Qiao, you must be hungry! I'll get you some glutinous rice porridge."
"I'll do it myself!" I supported the bed with my hands and climbed up.
"No, you are injured now. You can't move around." Peng Susu quickly stopped me with her hands and motioned for me to lie down.
I tried to move my hands and said with a smile: "It's okay. Look, can't I move my hands? Don't worry, I also know some Maoshan skills. This zombie shouldn't do much harm to me."
I mean that.
In fact, I don’t have any confidence in my heart. I don’t know what will happen to me next.
Susu shook her head and said: "Brother Qiao, the zombie we encountered this time is different. It is a more powerful flying zombie among zombies. A powerful flying zombie can jump three or four meters high in one leap. It is very scary. In the evening.
At that time, the zombie we encountered was this kind of zombie. Otherwise, we would have killed it with a cinnabar gun. You wouldn’t have suffered such serious injuries!"
Speaking of this, she immediately covered her mouth with her hands, shook her head desperately and said: "No, no, no, Brother Qiao, I was just talking casually. In fact, the wounds on your body are not very deep, as long as
Keep eating glutinous rice every day, and then take a bath with corpse-removing grass, and it won't take long for you to return to normal."
From Peng Susu's expression, I could already see the seriousness of the matter.
However, I didn't want this girl to worry about me, so I suppressed the sadness in my heart.
I forced a smile towards Susu: "It's okay, I'm lucky. By the way, didn't you just say you were going to make glutinous rice porridge for me to eat? Here! I can move now, or I'll light the fire.
, you cook. What do you think?"
Su Su nodded and smiled: "Okay, I'll let you accompany me and cook porridge together. But what! I don't need you to light the fire, you can just sit aside and chat with me. I know you are lying alone
It must be boring here, right?"
"Yeah!" I nodded and laughed too.
To be honest, I feel really unspeakable pain in my heart.
I didn't expect that this trip to bury the bones would cause such a big trouble.
The two of us came to the kitchen together. Along the way, Peng Susu would look back at me from time to time to see how I was walking. She was afraid that I would get hurt. At the beginning, she originally wanted to help me, but I refused and told her that it was okay. This girl
Just let me go alone.
We both sat down in front of the kitchen. She lit the fire and cooked porridge, while I sat aside and chatted with her.
She talked to me about her past in school and in the mountains.
From her chat, I learned that she had only moved to live in the mountains in the past few years. She boarded at the school when she was studying, and returned to the mountains during normal times.
When she was a child, she and her mother lived in the town, and would only accompany her mother to the mountains during summer or winter vacations. In fact, her family was rich. Her mother opened a restaurant in the town and the business was very good.
I was doing well, I made a lot of money, and my house was beautifully repaired.
But her father has always opposed her mother's opening of a canteen, saying that the karma of killing is too heavy and she has to kill animals every day, which is not conducive to spiritual practice.
The relationship between her father and mother was not very good.
And she has always been looking towards her mother, and in her heart she hates her father for being so incomprehensible. She hates that her father is an old-fashioned man who has to live a hard life in the mountains and forests despite having a good life.
In the past, she didn't understand this kind of behavior, and she also scolded Peng Dehai along with her mother. She and her mother tried to persuade her many times, hoping that her father could return to a normal life.
Having said this, Peng Susu couldn't help but shook her head and sighed: "Oh! It's really not easy to be a practitioner. I didn't understand my father before. It wasn't until three years ago when my mother was taken away by a car accident that I understood.
, life is impermanent, and money is just a passing cloud."
"During that time, my father recited sutras every day and dedicated them to my mother to alleviate her sins. My father said that my mother's death was related to the murderous karma she had created. At the same time, it was also related to my father's practice when he was young.
It’s about black magic.”
"It was then that I realized that my father chose to come to the deep mountains and forests to improve our luck for my mother and me. While he was actively practicing the Ten Good Deeds, observing the Five Precepts, practicing Qigong every day, and rescuing some injured people in the mountains,
Passer-by. My father said that when he was young, he also practiced black witchcraft and harmed many people."
"It even shortened my mother's life. Originally, he was destined to have no wife or daughter. However, later he cut off his evil thoughts and resumed his good ways. His destiny slowly changed. Over the years, my father has been atonement for his sins.
It is for this reason that he deliberately alienated us, mother and daughter, especially my mother."
"In my father's words, he killed countless lives in his life and separated many ghosts or animals from their flesh and blood. He was not qualified to enjoy the happiness of family life in the world. He chose to practice penance to atone for his sins. My father decided to live in the deep mountains and old forests here.
spend the rest of his life here."
As he said that, Peng Susu's tears rolled down in large pieces.
"I still can't understand why my father did this. He said it was for my own good. If he suffers, his descendants can live a better life."
What Peng Susu said made me feel particularly uncomfortable.
I couldn't help but think of my own situation.
I practice the Xia Maoshan Dharma, which will inevitably lead to bad relationships with all the evil spirits. Killing is also inevitable.
In total, it is almost the same as black witchcraft. No wonder, Master wanted to ask me if I had a wife. Having no wife and children is the price of practicing black witchcraft. Although the Maoshan method is not black witchcraft, it will create many children.
killing karma.
It seems that if I continue to practice like this, the final result will be the same as theirs.
Alas! It’s painful just thinking about it!
I don’t know if I can change my destiny in my lifetime.
If not, I'm afraid I can only do what Uncle Peng did, settle for the next best thing, and practice ascetic practices to marry a wife, have a son and a half daughters, and live a life of a small farmer.
Although I will be very miserable, and the relationship between the couple may not be good, at least I still have a family!
As I thought about it, tears came out of my eyes.
I thought about it, my situation is obviously different from Peng Dehai's.
Because what I like is a yin girl. I have to change the yin girl's life first and reverse her yin and yang before she can be qualified to fall in love. If this barrier is not broken, let alone choose to practice hard work, I will not even have the chance to change my life.
None.
"Brother Qiao, what's wrong with you?" Peng Susu suddenly shouted to me.
I couldn't help but tremble, and immediately came back to my senses. I smiled and replied to Susu: "It's nothing. I thought about your father having suffered so much. I felt a little sad."
Peng Susu smiled at me: "Brother Qiao, you have such a kind heart. However, my dad is actually very happy now. Hey! He also teaches me some self-protection spells now. He even asked me to teach me kung fu! Father, he does
He has done so many good things. His destiny has been slowly changing."
"My father said that the rest of his life depends on me. He transferred all his blessings to me. He said that I would be able to find a very responsible person in the future who would be able to make me live a happy life.
Man. He revealed this unintentionally. I know, in fact, he used divination to predict the outcome."
After saying that, Susu's eyes fell on my face and asked curiously: "By the way, Brother Qiao, who do you belong to?"
"Dog? What's wrong?" I asked.
"Nothing. I'm just asking. My dad said that my future partner is also a man born in the Year of the Dog. What a coincidence!"
"ah!"
"I...I'm not talking about you!" Peng Susu's face suddenly turned red.
"I didn't say it was me!" I replied.
The two looked at each other and couldn't help laughing.
"Okay, the porridge is cooked. I'll serve it to you first and let it cool in the wind!" Susu got up and went to scoop the porridge.
