Xiao Tao felt as if her head was being cut open.
I even realized more clearly that it turns out that the pain is not the end of the pain, and there will be pain to the point of stupor later.
In this trance, she seemed to see herself as a child, her father not missing yet, and her mother still so young and beautiful.
Their family of three would travel around the city every holiday. Her father was responsible for driving and moving things, and her mother was responsible for preparing all kinds of delicious food. She only needed to happily eat and play under the attention of her parents.
But no one expected that such happy days would come to an abrupt end.
My mother suddenly contracted a rapid aging disease, and no major hospital could find the cause. My father sold the family traditional Chinese medicine clinic and used the money to seek medical advice everywhere. Until I went out once, I never came back.
Life after that was like hell.
She seemed to be in a dark whirlpool. She tried her best to raise her head but still couldn't see any light. She could only be dragged down by the undercurrent under her feet...
It seems good to just sleep like this!
As soon as this thought flashed across his mind, Wujue, who was sitting by the bed, noticed that the person on the bed had a tendency to give up on his life, and his expression suddenly became solemn.
"Guantao, wake up!"
No, living is so tiring, and living without hope is even more tiring. She doesn't want to force herself any more!
Seeing that even shouting with Qingxinyin had no effect, Wujue gritted his teeth and hurriedly spoke out again: "Think about your parents, as long as you find the person who has been hiding behind the scenes, your mother will be cured." Hope. By the way, haven’t I told you yet that the location of your Parents Palace is still on, which means your father is just missing and not dead yet. Do you not want to find your father and reunite the family? "
"Huh..." As if someone who had been drowning for a long time finally breathed fresh air, Xiao Tao took a long breath and almost sucked herself away. She was patted on the back before she subconsciously exhaled. Breathing evenly.
Seeing her like this, Wujue also breathed a sigh of relief, "I've finally recovered."
He has never had an innocent person die on his hands, and this girl almost made him break his precepts.
The bedroom door opened, and Shen Yunqing, who was sitting on the sofa directly opposite the bedroom, suddenly raised his eyes when he heard the movement.
First he glanced at Xiaotao, who was still very pale, and then looked at Wujue.
Wujue nodded lightly towards him, but his eyebrows tightened slightly, which made Shen Yunqing's heart tighten.
Xiaotao came out of the bedroom and realized that night had fallen.
She thought not long had passed, but in fact several hours had passed.
"Sorry, Mr. Shen, for keeping you waiting."
"It's okay. The food was just delivered. Let's eat first."
Xiao Tao really had no appetite, but she also knew that her body would never be able to survive without eating, so she could only move to the dining table and eat a bowl of rice.
After the meal, the three of them sat down in the living room in a triangle shape.
"Sorry," Xiao Tao said again, "I seem to have failed to cooperate with Master Wujue."
She was the one who insisted on releasing the hypnosis before, but she was the one who couldn't stand it and gave up halfway through.
If it weren't for the words she heard before she fell completely into darkness, she probably wouldn't have been able to wake up at all.
Wujue nodded towards Shen Yunqing who was looking over, "It is true that the hypnosis was not completely lifted. I only opened a gap. What Miss Tao can remember depends entirely on luck."
Looking at the little girl who had a hint of guilt on her face, Shen Yunqing did not ask her directly. Instead, she comforted her softly: "Don't be sorry, you are already very brave."
These words made Xiao Tao couldn't help but blush, "Mr. Shen, please give me some time."
Although the hypnosis was not completely lifted, she now thought about what happened after Mei Shuiqing took her away. Although she still felt a headache, it was no longer like before when she had a splitting headache just thinking about it and couldn't think about it at all.
Shen Yunqing nodded towards her, "Don't worry, you can take this and think about it slowly."
Xiao Tao took the embroidered sachet he handed over, put it to her nose and smelled it, her mind suddenly cleared, "It smells just like the one in that incense burner."
"Yes, it has the same effect. It's called soul-soothing incense. You can carry this sachet with you. It's somewhat effective."
"Thank you, Mr. Shen." Xiao Tao held the sachet in her hand lovingly. She felt a severe headache, so she quickly brought it to her nose and smelled it. After getting some relief, she continued to think hard.
"I, I seem to remember that Mei Shuiqing wants to take me with her because she needs my blood." Afraid that she might not remember it correctly, Xiao Tao touched herself with her left hand relying on the trace of pain that seemed to have been imprinted in the depths of her mind. The wrist of the right hand, "Yes, that's right, it's my blood."
She turned her wrist over and stretched it forward. "She made a cut on my wrist. When she needed blood, she would take some blood. When she didn't need it, she would seal the wound. I don't know what she used. The solution was so that no one else could see the wound on my wrist. It wasn’t until she no longer needed my blood that my wound was healed with medicine.”
Xiao Tao couldn't help but tremble as she spoke. She still had a headache. She also remembered the fear she felt when she was with Mei Shuiqing.
A wound that seemed to never heal and that no one else could see except her, had to be bled from time to time. When the blood flowed into the container, she could even clearly feel that her life was passing away.
This is not just one or two days, but several days in a row!
Wujue: "...I can also temporarily seal the wound. As for needing blood from time to time..."
His face was a bit ugly. Using the young girl's vibrant blood, there wasn't much he could do for a magician who liked to harm others, especially one who had just received backlash.
"She wants to heal."
Xiaotao and Wujue almost said these four words at the same time.
"I once accidentally heard her talking to herself, saying that my blood was not enough, so I could only suppress the damage caused by the backlash. I am still useful, but I cannot die for the time being. I don't know what use I have, so I He didn’t die because his blood was drained.”
Wujue looked at the confusion on Xiao Tao's face, and there was a hint of pity in his eyes, "I know this."
Xiao Tao's eyes lit up, "What is it?"
"But I've been hesitant to tell you, because I was afraid you wouldn't be able to bear it."
Xiao Tao was startled when she heard this, and then smiled bitterly, "Master Wujue, tell me, I'm already like this, what else can't I bear?"
"I have seen a photo of you and your mother before." Seeing Xiaotao's puzzled expression again, he added, "You uploaded it to your account a few years ago. The faces of you and your mother at that time told me that your mother A prosperous husband and a prosperous son, your temple is bright and you will have a good future if nothing happens. Your family should have lived a harmonious and happy life, happier than most people in this world. But it is obviously not the case now. This is because your family’s original destiny has been taken away.”
