The grandfather was very tired, his voice became lower and lower, and the wound on his stomach continued to bleed. Gradually, the black air crawled all over his neck and began to spread towards his face.
My tears also fell wetly.
Looking back at my mother's empty coffin, and then at my grandfather's waning face filled with sadness, I know that the two people who are the best to me in the world will completely leave me today.
"Grandpa..."
I hugged him. If I had a choice, I would rather not know anything and be still the carefree farm boy. Although life was a bit harder and my father and grandma made things difficult for me from time to time, it was still better than what I am now. Be nice.
"Child, don't cry. Remember that you are a descendant of the Wang family. You must be strong!"
Grandpa struggled to wipe away my tears and choked himself.
I don't want to be a descendant of the Wang family. I just want to keep my grandpa and prevent him from leaving me so early. Unfortunately, this request can only be an extravagant wish.
Seeing that Grandpa's breathing was getting weaker and weaker, and he couldn't even lift his arms, I panicked so much that I looked at my second uncle, "Second uncle, please save Grandpa, please save him..."
The second uncle looked indifferent and shook his head without moving.
The old man invited by the Grandfather to help also sighed helplessly, "The corpse energy is attacking my heart, it's useless, not to mention that your Grandfather has forcibly overdrawn so much vitality."
I couldn't accept this reality and really wanted to lie down on my grandpa and cry, but my grandpa used his last strength to push me away and turned his eyes to the thin old man, trembling.
"Senior brother, I know I'm a bastard. I didn't listen to you back then, which led to what happened today. But I, I don't regret it. This kid Zhou Xuan has a very clean heart and knows nothing. I beg you to help... …Help me take care of him until he comes of age…”
It was very difficult for Grandpa to speak, but he still held my hand firmly and asked me to kowtow to the dry old man.
Seeing that I didn't move, he pushed me with all his strength. My feet slipped and I fell to my knees weakly.
The skinny old man looked at me hesitantly, and then focused his attention on Taigong, "Junior brother, it's not that senior brothers are afraid of trouble, it's just that this kid also has a lot of karma on his back. When he grows up, I'm afraid... …”
"I beg you, senior brother, for the sake of our brotherhood over the years, please fulfill my last wish."
The grandfather also tried his best to get up and kneel down to the little old man, but his body was too weak. He fell heavily just halfway up. The black air on his neck had spread all over his face, even to the sky. It was also covered in that deathly aura.
"Grandpa!"
I knew that this was a sign that Grandpa was about to leave this world, and I immediately cried and wanted to lie on top of him. But the skinny old man suddenly stepped forward, held my arm tightly, and did not allow me to get closer to Grandpa.
"My child, it's too dangerous if his corpse gas enters his body. If you get too close to him, you may also be infected."
"No, please let me go. I want to see my grandpa. What's wrong with you, grandpa? Don't leave..."
Looking at Taigong who fell to the ground again, his body becoming stiffer and stiffer, I burst into tears and struggled wildly.
boom!
Suddenly there was a sharp pain behind my head, as if something had hit me on the back of my head. My eyes blacked out and I fainted instantly.
When my consciousness gradually left my body, I vaguely heard the sigh of the skinny old man behind me.
"What a sin, little junior brother, you can rest assured. I will take care of this child until he reaches adulthood."
"Thank you...senior brother!"
These were the last words Taigong left in the world.
When I woke up, the heavy fog covering Zhoujiagou had dispersed, and I appeared outside the village.
The sky was completely bright, and the dazzling and vicious sunlight fell on me. The stinging pain on my eyelids made me close my eyes again, and I felt pain everywhere in my body.
I got up with support and was still thinking about what happened before I fell into coma. Just when I was feeling extremely low, an old laugh came from my ears.
"Boy, are you awake?"
I was stunned and gently opened my eyelids. It wasn't until my eyes adapted to the harsh light outside that I saw clearly that the old man standing in front of me was the old man with a dry look and a slovenly appearance.
He is Taigong's senior brother and also my savior.
I moved my dry throat and said in a voice, "Where is my great-grandfather?"
"Burned!"
The old man took out a cigarette rod from his arms, brought it to his mouth and took a few sips. He sighed and said, "The corpse invades the body. If it is not dealt with as soon as possible, it will easily cause corpse transformation. The old man can only burn your grandfather's body." , so as not to cause a lot of trouble in the future."
I yelled, my brain was still dizzy, and I fell to the ground feeling so uncomfortable.
In addition to the numbness and powerlessness in my body, what is more important is the sadness in my heart.
After being silent for a while, I continued to ask, "Then my second uncle..."
"Let's go!"
The old man crossed his legs, vomiting out the circles under his eyes, and rubbing his feet with his other hand, forcing out a mean smile. I don't know why, but it always makes me feel vulgar.
He wrote lightly, "After all, your second uncle is a descendant of the Zhou family, and you were born by robbing the Zhou family's ancestors. Your birth has brought such great misfortune to the Zhou family. He will not get along with you." It’s embarrassing, since your great-grandfather and your mother are both dead, his goal has been achieved, and of course there is no reason to stay here.”
"oh!"
I lowered my head, still feeling extremely sad in my heart.
I used to regard my second uncle as my relative, but now I understand that I am not a member of the Zhou family at all, and I have no blood relationship with him.
The second uncle came back this time not just to save me, but probably the biggest purpose was to ask the grandpa and my mother for an explanation...
I got a headache when I thought about this. My head really hurt. It felt like it was going to explode. While I was still conscious, I asked my last question,
"Since I am not a descendant of the Zhou family, then who is my biological father? My mother is from the Wang family, so which family is my father from?"
The little old man smiled and hit me on the forehead with the cigarette rod, "Is this important? Your kid is about to die. Instead of thinking about who should be called daddy, you should think about how to survive."
What?
I covered my dizzy head and asked him with great difficulty why he said I was going to die. Didn’t all the people named Wang run away?
The little old man's face sank and he said in a particularly gloomy voice,
"Before, your mother gave you her Corpse Pill out of desperation. That thing is a great Yin thing, which is of great benefit to practitioners. But for someone who has never been exposed to practice and doesn't know how to do it, For an ordinary child fused with Corpse Pill, it is simply the most deadly poison."
The mysterious yin energy in the Corpse Pill has entered my body and is connected with my blood. Now my whole body is filled with cold poison. If I am not careful, the yin energy will flow back and I will die suddenly!
"What?"
The little old man's words scared me so much that I trembled at the corner of my mouth and wanted to get up in disbelief. The little old man turned his face aside, pressed my shoulders, and yelled, "Don't move." But I jumped up first, and just as I was about to open my mouth to speak, I felt a light up under my lower abdomen, my forehead buzzed, and then I didn't know anything anymore.
