Chapter 94 Badong Village (21)
Taking He Nian to the house where Xie Jin and Ji Duan were once again, Ji Duan had woken up faintly at this time, but he was obviously still weak. He leaned against Xie Jin's arms and looked at the door.
"Don't worry, I can't die for the time being." Wen Liang knew what Ji Duan wanted to ask, and he opened his mouth one step ahead. He approached and squatted down, feeling Ji Duan's pulse and waiting for ten seconds, "but your situation is a bit dangerous now, you have to Act as soon as possible."
"That guy Zhao Li is full of nonsense, but since he knows the curse on you, he should also know how to crack it or know the relevant people." Wen Liang got up and started stuffing his bag, and continued while packing, "We all know that.It was a grand banquet, but for you you decided to go, how about Old Ji, brother enough?"
"Enough." It was just a joke, but Wen Liang didn't expect that Ji Duan, the most stinky fart in the weekdays, would reply seriously. He sipped the most for a while, and suddenly the clothes he had changed in his hand gestured towards Ji Duan. Throw.
"It's numb to death, bring back Ji Duan, who usually feels uncomfortable if he doesn't say a few words to me." Wen Liang followed closely and touched Ji Duan's thigh with moderate force, "Get well soon. Boy, don't waste me and Xie Jin going all the way to accompany you this time."
"You punch someone who is seriously ill, do you want to pay me for medical bills?" Ji Duan replied as Wen Liang wished, but his expression soon relaxed, "...I know, I'll be fine. ."
Others may not know it, but Ji Duan knows very well that he was lying on Xie Jin's lap. When he and Wen Liang had a few words of dialogue, he could clearly detect the man's trembling.
Xie Jin never spoke, but Ji Duan knew that he was in pain and blamed himself. The heart that had been hurt and bruised in the past was bleeding for himself at this time. Ji Duan knew very well that Xie Jin was afraid that he would be so unprovoked because Curse to die.
"Uncle Xie." He raised his head and looked at the subtle expressions that the man had no time to hide. He could see Xie Jin's Adam's apple rolling up and down, and then a hoarse and trembling voice came from the depths of his throat.
"Well, what's wrong?"
"Are you afraid?" Afraid that my death will make you finally start to return to normal life and collapse again, afraid that you who can already confront strangers will find a corner to hide again, Ji Duan closed his eyes, he knows the person you are afraid of Actually it is myself.
Xie Jin shook his head and touched Shang Ji Duan's face with his cold fingertips, "I'm not afraid, if it's for you, I'm not afraid at all even in the face of this Badong Village... Ji Duan, what about you?"
A drop of tears flowed out of the corner of Ji Duan's eyes without warning. Xie Jin never saw him cry, and even Wen Liang was surprised. If it wasn't for the wrong time, he would even take a picture with his mobile phone to keep it as a souvenir.
The two fluttered beside Ji Duan in a hurry, and a wheat-colored hand stretched out beside him, holding something and handing it to Ji Duan's mouth.
"Ah ah!" He Nian squeezed the chocolate and made a sound in his mouth. Even if Wen Liang didn't translate this action, Ji Duan could understand what it meant. He took advantage of the opportunity to bite the chocolate He Nian threw into his mouth., and then saw that the little guy laughed.
He sniffed hard, Ji Duan finally recovered his body function with the help of Xie Jin, barely sat up from the ground, he looked at He Nian, who smiled more and more skillfully, "Will he make this expression before?"
"It wasn't before, but he started to accept his emotions gradually." Wen Liang habitually rubbed He Nian's head, "Since Ji Duan also has it, does Xie Jin also have it? You left chocolate for all three of us?"
He Nian nodded and hugged Xie Jin's waist again. Among the three, Xie Jin gave him the feeling closest to the vague mother image in his memory. Closest to Xie Jin.
Being hugged by the young man like this, Xie Jin's depressed mood also eased a little. He thanked He Nian for the chocolate, but instead of eating it immediately, he put the little melted candy in his pocket. .
"Old Ji, you just woke up, come here and I'll give you a little order, and if you try to seal the curse, at least you won't vomit blood like you did just now."
Ji Duan did as he was told, Wen Liang focused on the acupuncture points in his heart, the Heart Purification Mantra could no longer play a big role, the soul could not be preserved, and the curse would naturally spread gradually.
During the acupuncture process, there was a fishy sweetness in his throat. Ji Duan swallowed the black blood this time. He didn't want to give Xie Jin another desperate shot.
At noon, a young man wearing a mask similar to a copper animal appeared again in the ancestral house of the Li family, claiming that Zhao Li had sent them to lead the way.
Ji Duan insisted on going together. He didn't want to watch other people make an appointment for him generously, but he hid behind and acted as a coward. Unexpectedly, He Nian, before the Zhao family came to meet him, said that he had other things to do, so he would not go with them.
When he left the Li family's ancestral house, he turned his head frequently, watching He Nian's slender figure gradually disappear from sight.
Looking at the little back who was leaving in the exact opposite direction from them, Xie Jin felt a little uneasy for some reason, especially after learning the attitude of the villagers towards He Nian from Wen Liang, this sense of unease had escalated to panic.
Following the people sent by the Zhao family back to the village, the scenery here is completely different from the previous day. Although the street can't reach the point where people are close to each other, they can still see some people.
The shops on both streets also opened their doors, and the doors were no longer closed as they were when they entered the village. It is quite common for the villagers to come and go. Most of them are wearing common jackets, which gives the illusion of returning to the old times.
"Boss, how do you sell this fruit cake?" Wen Liang gestured towards the two of them, and suddenly asked the merchant who pulled the cart to his side to sell the fruit cake, "It looks good."
The merchant who sold the fruit cake did not expect that he would be called, so he shook unpreparedly: "Ah? Four yuan, four yuan and ninety-five cents."
This kind of reaction is obviously not his personal wish to go to the street and set up a stall. Wen Liang smiled, took out a ten-yuan note from his pocket, and bought a ten-yuan fruit cake from the merchant.
Carrying the bag of food, he swayed between Xie Jin and Ji Duan, and said in a voice that only the three of them could hear: "I guess most of the people on this street are playing a show, otherwise, defending us was the same as defending against thieves yesterday. I came out and opened business as usual today, do you think this is normal?"
"Could it be that Zhao Li arranged it?" Xie Jin has been supporting Ji Duan's body with his shoulders. He pretended to talk to Ji Duan and took the opportunity to look back, and found that the merchant selling fruit cakes had closed the stall and pushed the cart to run in the opposite direction of them. .
"It looks like it's probably true." Xie Jin turned his head back, feeling a little awkward. He didn't know what Zhao Li meant. He tried his best to bring those villagers who were guarding against outsiders to the streets, in order to create a good atmosphere for them. Kind of the illusion that Badong Village welcomes you?
"Come on, eat one of them all." Wen Liang deliberately said loudly. He opened the bag containing the fruit cake and looked like he was taking food out of it. In fact, from the perspective of Xie Jin and Ji Duan, they saw Wen Liang's palms rolled out of two fingernails. Cap sized white pill.
"Just in case, I can't guarantee whether Zhao Yan will poison the food." He quickly shoved the white pill into the hands of the two of them, "After all, I just humiliated him in public just now. For those who hold power, face is usually a criticism for them."
Neither Xie Jin nor Ji Duan spoke. They also learned about He Nian from Wen Liang just now, so they naturally followed the arrangement and took the pills that seemed to be used for detoxification.
Following the two taciturn youths for a long time, they finally stopped at a mansion no less than, or even more than, the old mansion of the Li family.
It's just that the shape of this house is a bit strange. The irregular blue bricks are arranged in order. The place where the stone lions are rationally placed at the door is a statue with a human head and a snake body. , more like an evil spirit than a patron saint.
Wen Liang frowned slightly, there seemed to be a familiar smell of blood in the air, Qu Wan was brought here before?
"This house looks like a coffin...how does it look like?" Xie Jin stared at the stone plaque directly above the gate. There was also a relief of a giant python coiled under the icy Zhao Fu, and he wondered if he was staring at the time. For too long, the giant python seemed to spit at him in a trance.
"Uncle Xie, what's wrong with you?" Xie Jin didn't recover until Ji Duan called him. When he looked at the plaque again, he found that the python on it had returned to normal.
"No, nothing." Is it an illusion? Xie Jin rubbed his eyes. At this time, they had followed the two young men to the door. The black lacquer door slowly opened like a Pandora's box, less than two meters away from the door. , stands a painted screen.
It is still a snake, which is not surprising from the Zhao family who worships Fairy Liu. After all, in this strange mountain village, being able to worship the five immortals is their proud glory.
"The three of you, please, the owner of the house is waiting for you." The two young men who led the way resigned and left. If they watched them leave, they would find that the two young men walked into an unoccupied corner, their clothes fluttering on the ground, from Two flower snakes drilled out of the pile of clothes, burrowing into the grass at a very fast speed.
The person who led the way suddenly said goodbye and left. The three of them were thrown into the seemingly empty courtyard. They looked at each other for a while. Xie Jin said, "They said that Zhao Li was waiting for us, and they didn't say where to wait. Why don't you go inside first? go see?"
"It can only be like this." Wen Liang took the bag of fruit cake as a plaything and threw it in his hand. The Zhao family's house gave him a very bad feeling, and there was still the smell of Qu Wan's blood, he whispered. The two behind them, "From now on, be careful in everything."
