I looked at my aunt's face and felt distressed. I could only hold her hand tightly and try to give her some strength.
I stayed with my aunt for the rest of the time.
At noon, my aunt and I came out of the vegetable market together. She looked at the ingredients in my hand with a smile on her face: "In a moment, you can invite Bai Tian over to have dinner with me. Auntie will show you my specialty dishes. I will make sure you still want to eat them." eat."
I smiled and nodded in agreement: "Okay."
The aunt is good-looking, and the cheongsam she wears shows off her perfect figure perfectly. Coupled with her mature and gentle charm, she attracts the attention of many people.
Just as I was passing by the road, I slapped my forehead and suddenly remembered something: "Auntie, there seems to be another watermelon I haven't brought. Please wait here, I'll be back soon."
"Okay, then slow down."
I hurried back to the fruit shop, picked up the watermelon and hurried back. There were still three seconds of green light in front of me. I was afraid that my aunt would be impatient and wanted to run over quickly.
A turning truck suddenly hit me straight.
My mind was telling me to run over quickly, but my body was out of control and stood there blankly.
A huge push came from behind me, and I was pushed to a safe place aside. The truck honked its whistle frantically, swerved, and rushed directly into the flower bed.
Only then did I see clearly that it was the aunt who had pushed me away, and her legs twisted and she fell directly to the ground.
"Aunt!"
I came to my senses and ran to my aunt's side. Her foot was twisted badly and swollen. The aunt was in so much pain that she couldn't even speak.
If my aunt hadn't saved me just now, if the car hadn't turned around just now... I can't imagine the consequences.
A kind person called an ambulance, and I briefly checked on my aunt's condition.
"Auntie, are you okay now?"
The aunt's face was covered with sweat, and she was finally able to speak. The first thing she said was: "Are you okay?"
A burst of emotion and guilt arose spontaneously: "Auntie, don't worry, I'm fine. Just hold on, the ambulance will be here soon."
The ambulance came quickly and carried the aunt into the car. After a check-up at the hospital, it was found that the leg was only slightly sprained, but other injuries to the body could not be ruled out. It was safest to stay in the hospital for one night.
After receiving my call during the day, he quickly rushed to the hospital. He saw me sitting dejectedly on the bench in the corridor of the hospital and patted me on the shoulder.
"Are you feeling okay?"
I rubbed my face and felt mixed: "I'm still scared now. What would have happened if the car didn't bend in the end."
"Don't think too much. Auntie's life should not be cut off. You..."
Just as he was about to continue, the phone rang during the day.
She glanced at the phone screen, gave me a strange look, and walked not far away.
Soon, the doctor told me that my aunt was awake.
I got up and wanted to call Bai Tian, but I couldn't find her after searching for a long time. When I passed by the stairs, I heard a voice coming from inside.
"Senior brother, this method is too risky. After enduring the pain, people will die from the pain. Even if the voodoo is released, it will be of no use. The people infected by the voodoo are already over fifty years old."
My ears stood up instantly, and my consciousness told me that this was about the poisonous insects on my aunt.
"Okay, senior brother, I will find a solution for this matter. If you have other solutions, please call me. Thank you."
Bai Tian sighed and hung up the phone. When she turned around, she found me standing at the top of the stairs. She was startled: "What are you doing standing there? You're scared to death!"
"What Gu insect were you talking about just now? Is it about Auntie?"
"No, you are overthinking."
During the day, he looked at me expressionlessly and wanted to walk past me.
I grabbed her wrist: "Although I haven't known you for a long time, during the day, I know you too well. As long as you hide something from me, you will become expressionless. I beg you, tell me The only way I can save my aunt is because she is my only relative."
During the day, he scratched his hair a little irritably: "It's useless even if there is a way. To tell you the truth, this voodoo only works by eating the carrion of human beings. If you want to get rid of this voodoo, you must first endure thousands of things." Almost no one can bear the pain of a ghost eating one's body, let alone your aunt, whose physical condition and age do not allow it."
I was silent for a long time before I spoke again: "Then can I help my aunt bear this pain?"
He opened his eyes slightly and looked at me for a long time before finding his voice: "Are you crazy?"
"If it was to save my aunt, I would go crazy once."
"I'm too lazy to talk to you."
I also got angry during the day, so I just threw away my hand and walked away.
I was left alone at the top of the stairs. After I collected myself, I walked to my aunt's ward.
In the ward, I was chatting with my aunt during the day. The two of them didn't know what they were talking about, and they were both laughing very happily.
Peel the apple in your hand cleanly, cut it into small pieces, insert a fork and hand it to the aunt. She said thoughtfully during the day: "Auntie, you have a good rest in the ward. If anything happens, just tell us."
"You are a beautiful and attentive girl. I don't know which boy will be so lucky as to be able to marry you as his wife." As he said this, he gave me a meaningful look.
I sat next to my aunt without saying anything.
Auntie patted my hand with some resentment.
"You have a good rest. Is there anything you need me to bring you?"
"No need, everything is available in the hospital. I know my own body. When the report shows that there is no problem, you can just come and pick me up and discharge me."
Auntie didn't want to cause us any trouble, so she tried to persuade us to go home.
On the way, Bai Tian and I remained silent.
"During the day, you know my temper. As long as I decide to do something, I will definitely do it. My aunt saved me today. I owe her my life. I want to give it a try."
She did not answer my question, but instead asked: "Do you know how painful it is to be devoured by ghosts?"
Seeing that I didn't speak, she continued: "It's like countless people are biting your skin bit by bit. You are very conscious and cannot faint. It is psychological and physical torture. At least until now, I have not heard of anyone You can endure this kind of pain, and once the ritual starts, it cannot be stopped, and it will be too late for you to regret it.”
Just listening to it, I can imagine how much it hurts.
After swallowing, the determination in my eyes did not diminish at all.
Tian Tian looked directly at me, and I knew she wanted to read the flinch in my eyes, but she didn't.
