Chapter 22 The Human Family

I slept for a long time this night, and I only felt that my body was light and light, like duckweed floating on the water, with no bones and no flesh.

If I guess correctly, the organs in my body, the heart, liver, spleen, and lungs have all rotted and turned into blood. Although I haven't woken up yet, my consciousness is clear. .

Although I am conscious, I can't see, hear, or smell anything. There is only skin on my body, but the skin is inserted into a hole by the branch of the ancient locust tree, and water flows from the hole. Flowing to and fro.

I have no concept of time, time has no meaning to me, my time is eternal and never ends. I let my consciousness wander outside for a while, because the power is too weak, I realize that everything is blocked, I have no choice but to call them back and continue to sleep.

I slept for seven days and seven nights.

When I woke up, I was already lying in bed, and the feeling on my skin told me that the surrounding environment was unfamiliar, I had never seen it before, but there was a familiar smell in the air. I sniffed, the smell of candle flames. I opened my eyes and looked around, there was no one there, the curtains were drawn, and the interior was dimly lit.

"Candle flame?" I tentatively called out, but there was no response. I was puzzled, where is this? I'm sure Candlestick is here, or has been here, where he smells a long time ago, but it still smells good.

No way, I stepped on the floor to get out of bed, I was wearing a white nightdress, and the skirt kept swaying with my movements. The floor was a little cold, so I stood on tiptoe, turned the door lock and walked out of the room into the bedroom.

As soon as I walked out, I was stunned, and the man opposite me was also stunned. He was a man in his fifties, with good features and a gentle and easy-going temperament. "Hello." I smiled, feeling strange.

"You're awake." The man laughed suddenly, as if he was finally relieved, "Mingmei, she's awake, that girl is awake." The man said in one direction, I guess it was the kitchen, because I smelled scrambled eggs with tomatoes the taste of.

As soon as the man finished speaking, a beautiful woman came out of the kitchen with an apron around her waist. When she saw me standing there, she immediately came over, shook my hand, and looked at me carefully, "Okay, It's alright, you're finally awake."

"Hello." I was a little puzzled, what the hell is this place?

"Yeah, why are you not wearing shoes, be careful of catching a cold." The woman became anxious when she saw my bare feet, pulled me to the living room sofa and sat down, and went to the shoe cabinet in the entrance to get me slippers and let me put them on. Obediently putting on slippers, the woman smiled reassuringly.

"You guys, where is this...?" I'm a little embarrassed, was I thrown by Candle Flame after I slept, and then picked up by this couple. I thought to myself, as soon as I finished speaking, the man laughed and glanced at the woman.

"We are Zhuyan's parents, this is our home, and the one you live in is Zhuyan's bedroom." The woman smiled and stared at me, her eyes delicate and tender, like a spring breeze.

It turned out that Candlestick's parents, I suddenly realized, no wonder there is the smell of candlestick in the air. Candle Yan is also a parent, for sure, he is a human and not me.

Seeing me thinking, Mother Candleyan suddenly remembered something, "Are you hungry? I'll cook food for you, all of which you like, and I'll bring it to you." Before I could answer, she got up and walked quickly to the kitchen. Candle Yan's parents are very good, I secretly said in my heart. Do they know I'm not human? There was a little doubt in my heart.

Zhuyan's father kept smiling at me, and I could feel his kindness, "Where's Zhuyan?" I thought about it and asked.

"He." Just as Father Zhu was about to answer, Mother Zhu came over with the food, put down the food, and said, "He goes out to find medicine for you, and will come back at night." Mother Zhu said relaxedly, then Urge me to eat quickly.

The dishes are plentiful, but I can't eat them.

I have no stomach and can't eat. Many vital organs in my body have been damaged. Now I have only skins left, so I have to find Uncle Pa to have the organs customized again.

But how can I tell Candle Yan's parents about this reason? I still don't know if they know that I'm not human, and if they don't, what should I do if I scare them. I was very entangled in my heart. Mother Candle looked at me expectantly. I was in a dilemma, and I just hoped that someone would come and save me.

Zhuyan's father seemed to find something, he smiled suddenly, "You can't eat it, right?" Zhuyan's father looked at me deeply, I was stunned for a moment, and then nodded. Mother Zhu looked at Father Zhu, Father Zhu showed a clear and helpless expression, "She has no stomach."

After listening, Mother Zhu showed a disappointed and distressed expression, "How could I forget about this, I just asked Zhu Yan what you like to eat, and forget everything else." Mother Zhu looked at me, " Aren't you hungry?"

"No, I won't be hungry." I shook my head, I didn't have to eat or drink water at all, I just asked Uncle Pa to make human organs for me just to reassure my grandfather. I wondered how much Zhuyan's parents knew and how much I could tell them.

"It's fine if you're not hungry." Mother Zhu patted my shoulder and breathed a sigh of relief.

After struggling for a long time, I finally decided to ask, "Do you know that I'm not... a person?" Father Zhu and Mother Zhu smiled and nodded slightly. Listening to them say that, I am completely relieved. But knowing that I am not a person still willing to take me in, who is the candle flame family.

Father Zhu 1; 148471591054062 looked at me, thought for a while, then looked at Mother Zhu, "Go buy some flowers, she can't eat but she still needs to replenish her energy." Mother Zhu agreed and smiled with me, He told me to take a good rest and took my bag and went out.

"Candle Yan told us about you, don't be afraid, we won't investigate what you are, you just need to rest at home."

Father Zhu told me that his voice was very gentle, with some elders' concerns, "When Zhu Yan brought you, I was shocked, you were seriously injured, but apart from the loss of strength and the destruction of organs, nothing happened. No. I just knew that you are not an ordinary person, or that you are not an ordinary person." Father Zhu looked at me intently, I met his gaze and smiled lightly.

Sure enough, Father Zhu did not pursue me. He first told me what happened in the past few days when I was asleep, and then told me a lot of things about Zhu Yan’s childhood.

It turned out that Zhuyan was born a serious guy, I thought to myself.

Father Zhu also talked about the candle family. Their ancestors of the candle family have been engaged in sacrificial divination and dealing with ghosts and gods since thousands of years ago. No wonder they were surprised when they saw me, but they understood.

After chatting with Father Candle, I went back to my room and fell asleep. All I needed was a deep sleep. Although I was asleep, I could smell the fragrance of flowers in the air. The spirit of flowers fell on me, penetrated into my skin, and slowly turned into my energy. . What the candle father said is right, I need these.

When I woke up this time, I was woken up. Although I didn't need it, Mother Candle covered me with a quilt, and I just felt that my quilt was lifted. I don't feel cold, but I'm not used to it.

"Jiang Liu, get up for me!" I heard a voice, and when I opened my eyes, I saw Tong Xin rushed up and overturned me, and I rolled to the ground. I frowned, looked back at me, and stared at me with a childish heart.

Father Zhu rushed in and dragged Tong Xin aside. Although Father Zhu was angry, his tone was still calm, "What are you doing, Tong Xin?" Mother Zhu came in, and Mother Zhu immediately helped me up when I fell on the floor. Sitting on the bed.

"What do I do? I want to ask her what she wants to do? Why does she come to live at home, this home can't even live in me, why can she live in? Even sleeping on my brother's bed, why is she so shameless!" I got very angry, blushed and yelled at Father Zhu, staring at me fiercely from the corner of my eye.

I slumped on the bed and rubbed my eyes expressionlessly. I hadn't slept enough, and my head was so awake that I couldn't think. I watched Tong Xin's lips tremble rapidly, and I narrowed my eyes to hear more clearly.

"Tong Xin, you immediately apologize to Jiang Liu." Father Zhu interrupted Tong Xin's words, his voice was a few degrees colder, his stern tone hit my senses, as if there was an air current running around, and the surrounding voices were much clearer.

"Why do you want me to apologize?" Tong Xin was not reconciled, she looked unruly and willful, she rushed towards me, pointed at my nose and shouted, "Jiang Liu, what are you trying to do? I know you will be crooked, but you Don't try to lie to our family."

"I want to sleep." I stared at the childish innocence with cold eyes. I don't like being woken up and I don't like being provoked by ant-like humans. I don't like it very much. "You better go out immediately." But the temperature in the room plummeted, making people shiver from the cold, and I was about to get angry.

Father Zhu noticed something was wrong, he looked at me more solemnly, his expression froze, he seemed to think of something and walked up to hold Tong Xin, and apologized to me, "Jiang Liu, don't care about Tong Xin, she is ignorant. , I apologize to you."

"Dad, what are you doing?" Tong Xin seemed very unhappy, she rushed out of the candle father's block with an ugly face, I had a cold face, I hate human beings, I said secretly, raised my hand gently, and the whole child's heart The person was bounced off by the airflow, hit the door, and fell heavily to the ground.

There was a whip sound of "crack" out of thin air, as if an invisible whip was lashing at Tong Xin's body, and Tong Xin rolled on the ground. I didn't let her call it out, I was too noisy. I think she must be very hurt and scared. I looked down at her, her expression was twisted and scared, full of fear for me, her mouth was open and she couldn't speak at all.

Mother Zhu seemed to want to be stopped by Father Zhu, who looked at me reverently. I stood up with my hands on the bed and glanced at the candle father, "Thank you." After saying that, I walked out of the room and went out.

"Your injury..." Father Zhu came over, he wanted to keep me but knew he couldn't.

I smiled and said in a low voice, "You know what I am, can you keep it a secret for me?" My eyes were cold and cold, without even a trace of warmth. My words helped Father Zhu determine what he was thinking, Father Zhu lowered his brows and nodded.

"Okay, goodbye." I smiled and walked out of the candle house without looking back. I don't want to kill people, although it's easy to kill them, and I don't want to get angry, but my strength is weak, it's not easy to control the negative emotions deep in my body's memory,

The best way is to leave the candle house, otherwise human beings will commit me again and again, and I am afraid that they will be crushed to death like humans crushing ants. I walked very fast, my feet did not touch the ground, and I crossed the layers of withered grass and autumn flowers. I had to go to see Uncle Pa before it got dark. I need human organs and emotions.
