I didn’t know if I was dead. Anyway, there was nothing but darkness in front of me. I couldn’t see or hear anything. The silence around me was terrifying.
But I found that I was able to move, and I looked down at my collarbone. The wound stopped bleeding, but the pain on my back did not lessen. Doesn’t it mean that you won’t feel pain after you die?
It seems they are all lies.
I slowly got up and groped for a way, but I couldn't find anything. I stumbled around in the darkness like a blind man.
"Dad, Bai Zimo, where are you? Where are you? There is no one in the dark. I'm scared!" I started shouting, hoping that they would come to me after hearing this.
It's so deserted here. Could it be the legendary hell?
But no one answered me. I was like a forgotten poor guy, walking alone in the darkness.
I don’t know how long it took or how far I walked. Anyway, my legs started to tremble. If I continued walking, I would probably lose my legs.
My back was burning, probably because the wound was inflamed.
It turns out that people are not finished when they die, they will still feel pain and discomfort.
But how come I wasn’t taken away by the Black and White Wuchang brothers when I died? Didn’t they discover me?
Actually, I don’t really want to see Black and White Impermanence. The key is that I am hungry. I haven’t eaten since I woke up early in the morning. As a result, I was beaten to death and now I am a hungry ghost.
If you get to the Palace of Hell, you should at least give me something to eat.
I didn’t expect that my life would be so miserable, being a ghost and starving.
Just when I was so hungry that I was dizzy, I suddenly saw a glimmer of light in front of me. As a biological instinct, I looked for the light and walked over.
However, when I got there, I discovered that it was a river. There was a faint light shining on the river. The riverside was full of red flowers. There was a small boat on the shore. The boatman was sitting there quietly waiting to ferry people across the river.
There is a bridge over the river, which is quite wide. I can’t figure out why there are people holding boats there even if there is such a good bridge. Speaking of the cruise ship, I feel that the boat is too shabby, so I guess no one will sit on it.
I think this boatman may be mentally ill.
But here comes the slap in the face, someone actually walked over to take the boat.
I couldn't help but be dumbfounded. The key point was that the boat couldn't move halfway. The people on it were swaying and almost fell into the river.
I think he might have a problem in his mind, and he would rather take the good bridge than take the broken boat.
Almost drowned myself.
It’s really a vast world full of wonders.
I didn't want to pay attention to the situation in the river anymore, and walked to the bridge on my own.
I thought there might be something delicious on the other side of the bridge, but there was nothing but a red flower, but flowers can't be eaten, right?
Just when I was about to take the first step, a voice came from my ear: "Alian, come back quickly, come back quickly!"
Who, who is calling me? This voice is a bit familiar, as if I have heard it somewhere.
I stopped and thought about it, but I didn't think about it and decided to keep walking.
As a result, he shouted again: "Alian, I am Bai Zimo, come back quickly!"
Bai Zimo?
I remember there seemed to be such a person. Who came from me? I felt that my memory was a little confused. When I was in the dark just now, did I call him by the name Bai Zimo?
I looked back, and there was nothing behind me. Who was this Bai Zimo?
What do you mean by calling me all the time and not showing up?
baffling.
Suddenly a burst of fragrance hit my face, and my stomach growled. I didn't care about it anymore and rushed directly onto the bridge.
At the other end of the bridge, an old woman was stirring something in a large vat with a big spoon, and that's where the fragrance came from.
I couldn't help but swallow, and walked gently to her.
The grandma seemed to see through me and directly filled a bowl of soup and handed it to me: "Drink it. If you drink it, your past will have nothing to do with you!"
I took the bowl in a daze and said thank you to her.
When he was about to drink it, he found a gap in the bowl and looked at her in confusion.
But she just raised her eyelids and said: "Drink quickly, you will be relieved after drinking it!"
I seemed to be bewitched by her. I held the bowl and wanted to drink again, but my hands were restricted and I couldn't bring the soup to my mouth.
Damn it, you are not allowed to drink the hot soup, who has no conscience, come out and let me scold you...
But before I could figure it out, suddenly, the bowl in my hand broke, the soup spilled all over the floor, and the grandma in front of me disappeared in an instant.
I wanted to open my mouth to curse, but I only felt a heat on my lips, and then something flowed down my throat and into my stomach. After a while, I felt completely comfortable.
"What!" I sat up suddenly and found myself lying on the bed, next to my adoptive father who looked worried and Bai Zimo, who was lowering his head and licking his lips.
In other words, Bai Zimo fed that thing just now with his mouth?
When my adoptive father saw that I was awake, he quickly came forward and sat beside my bed to check my pulse.
Bai Zimo just quietly stepped aside and looked at me silently.
I looked around and saw that it was my own home, so I guessed that I might have walked around in front of Naihe Qiao and Po Meng just now and been pulled back from the gate of hell by them.
It's good that he's not dead, there's still a chance.
We must understand why the villagers suddenly became like this.
I rubbed my forehead, looked at my adoptive father in confusion and asked, "Dad, what happened?"
My adoptive father touched my head, looked at me gently and said, "It's okay. You should take good care of yourself first and don't worry about anything else!"
How could I not care.
It's going to cost me my life, how can I stay out of it?
"Dad, tell me what's going on? Do you want to scare me to death?"
When I asked, my adoptive father could only sigh: "Alian, the people in Yunjia Village are crazy. They want to remove the birthmark on your body."
"Removing birthmarks?" I quickly pulled off my collar and looked down. The white snake was still on my body, which meant they had not succeeded. "Then how did we escape? Is it you?"
I said the last sentence while looking at Bai Zimo.
But my adoptive father seemed to think it was me telling him, and he quickly shook his head: "It's not me, it's you."
My adoptive father told me that the scene was very chaotic, the ancestral hall suddenly shook, and the villagers collectively fell to the ground, as if they had been poisoned.
I was so injured that I fainted, but the next second I suddenly woke up, broke the rope, and freed my adoptive father.
We took advantage of the chaos to return home, and I fell asleep after we came back. It has been three days now.
Seeing my adoptive father's distressed eyes on me, I was quite depressed. I had a birthmark on my body for more than ten years. Why did someone attack me just after Bai Zimo woke up?
I couldn't help but glare at Bai Zimo, but he was just pretending to be stupid. His clothes were as white as snow and his silver hair was like frost.
"Dad, what's going on now? Will the village chief bring people to kill us?"
Thinking about the scene at that time, I still have lingering fears.
The adoptive father shook his head: "They haven't moved in the past three days. They probably don't care about us, but I'm worried that they won't give up until they achieve their goal. You should take good care of yourself in the past two days and go to Jiangcheng immediately to avoid the limelight."
"What about you? Will you go to Jiangcheng with me?"
Yunjiacun has no other feelings for me except my adoptive father. If my adoptive father also leaves here, we can never come back.
"If I don't leave, they are just afraid of the snake on your body and won't do anything to me!"
My adoptive father's eyes were evasive when he spoke, and he didn't dare to look at me.
Why didn't he leave Yunjia Village?
Everyone in this village wants us to die, so what else does he have to commemorate?
Maybe he was afraid that I would ask any more questions, so he immediately said, "I'm going to heat up the porridge for you. You must be very hungry after not eating for the past three days!"
He said as he stood up and walked out.
At this time, Bai Zimo continued to sit next to me, his eyes fell like water, and I seemed to see that his heart and eyes were all about me.
"Alian, no matter what happens, live well, nothing is more important than living!"
I don't know why he said such things. He is a snake, a snake that has lived for an unknown number of years, and I am just an ordinary person. Ordinary people only live for a few decades.
never mind.
Thinking of what he saw in the ancestral hall, he asked: "What was the white mist that suddenly appeared when my blood was about to run out? I seemed to hear someone talking there, saying that it couldn't be wrong, it must be What's wrong? What's going on?"
Bai Zimo looked at the wound for me and said, "I didn't see Bai Wu. I was injured at that time. I felt in your body that you were about to die. I used my last strength to get on your body and separated you and Yun Yan." He was rescued, but I don’t know about the rest.”
He just wanted to send me away without knowing anything. I didn't believe his nonsense.
"Really don't know?" I looked at him suspiciously.
But he just lowered his head and helped me apply the medicine, and responded casually: "I don't know, you should take good care of your injuries. If I hit you, it hurts in my heart!"
Isn’t it disgusting?
Anyway, I got goosebumps all over my body.
He would feel sorry for me, and if he felt sorry for me, he wouldn't let me get whipped so much.
"Then you can always tell me how you got injured, right?" I think he can't say he doesn't know about this question.
Unexpectedly, he said something even more irritating: "I was attacked by a dark thing, but I didn't see what it was!"
Damn it, can you make up a decent lie? He is a shadow that others cannot see, and he can be hurt by something without even knowing who the other person is. Otherwise, we can only say that he is too weak, otherwise I can't explain it.
"Alian, the porridge is here!" At this time, the adoptive father walked in with the porridge, and I had to let Bai Zimo go for the time being.
But I must have a way to find out the answer. I don’t believe that he can keep making up lies.
I took the porridge and looked at my adoptive father. He didn't look very good. He was probably frightened enough and hadn't recovered yet.
While drinking porridge, I asked casually: "Dad, why do the villagers suddenly want to remove the snake birthmark on my body?"
"Because of a dream!"
"Dream? What dream?" My curiosity suddenly arose. What kind of dream could make so many people hate me so much at the same time?
My adoptive father looked at me helplessly and then told me the cause of the matter.
It turned out that the village chief's daughter Yinhua died in childbirth on the Ghost Festival. Her husband's family thought she was unlucky, so they sent the body directly back to Yunjia Village and threatened that they would not care about her funeral.
The village chief had no choice but to organize the funeral for his daughter. However, that night, her daughter actually gave the whole village a dream, saying that something big was going to happen in the village and everyone would die unless the snakes on my body were removed.
People in the village have always thought that I was a disaster star. Now that everyone has been entrusted with the dream, they naturally believe it to be true.
So they discussed with my adoptive father and wanted to remove the birthmark on my body.
The adoptive father could only agree first and then find ways to delay the process.
He didn't tell me these things, and lied to me that he was going to the town to play. In fact, he planned to send me away from Yunjia Village.
But the villagers were not vegetarians either. When they noticed that he was leaving with me, they chased after me.
When my adoptive father saw that the villagers only arrested him, he thought I could escape, but he didn't expect that I was still arrested.
I was also confused. Since they wanted to remove the white snake birthmark on my body, why did they arrest my adoptive father instead of me in the first place?
Also, why would the village chief’s daughter have such a dream?
