The Companions

Chapter 7: Two Gu worms

Views:

The black scorpion is not big, but it looks very ugly. The color is bright and vivid, and if you don't pay attention, you will jump out of it.

I was terrified and couldn't believe it. There was a poisonous scorpion on my small arm. I was busy rubbing my fingers to remove the pattern, but the pattern seemed to grow in the flesh, there was no way to remove it.

Luo Dajin was overjoyed and stepped forward and grabbed my hand: "Luo Jiu, this is a gift from our ancestors. From now on, your zombies will be poisonous scorpions. Hurry up, kowtow to your ancestors, thank your ancestors for their blessing."

Only then did I understand that the black scorpion that had just emerged from the spiritual position was a gu worm gifted by the ancestors of Heihuazhai. Luo Dajin didn't wait for me to react, so he pinched the back of his neck with one hand and pressed hard a few times to make me kowtow to the spiritual position of my ancestors.

Boom boom boom, every blow is heavy, and the wound on my forehead started to bleed again. I cursed in my heart: "Go to your mother's ancestors, go to your uncle's ancestors. Every head I knocked down, one day, will let you double the repayment!"

After the gate of the ancestral hall was opened wide, the wind blew from the outside, and the temperature inside was not as cold as before. The old ghosts who wanted to come and were invited by Luo Dajin all left.

After kowtow, Luo Dajin helped me up, still full of joy, his actions were not as rude as before, and his face was full of smiles: "Luo Jiu, the ancestors bestowed insects, it is your great blessing, you should cherish it. You get your ancestors I’ll be able to get in touch with Gu worms in the future and learn how to raise Gu.” The look in my eyes has also improved a lot.

I thought to myself that Luo Dajin's words can never be trusted. He took me to the ancestral hall and it was definitely not for my good. He had an ulterior motive. I am young now, and I don't know the reason for this, I will definitely figure it out in the future.

I reluctantly smiled: "That's great, if I am half as powerful as you, I can deal with Luo Youdao."

Luo Dajin shook his head and smiled: "You didn't call Luo Youdao. You have to call him Little Grandpa according to your seniority. Luo Jiu, it's not early, let's go home."

Luo Dajin took my hand and walked straight outside. The moment he grabbed my hand, I got goose bumps. I tried to get rid of it, but his strength was so great that I couldn't get rid of it.

Walking to the entrance of the ancestral hall, a short man walked over. He was about forty years old. He was dressed in a black cloth with a black turban on his head and a cigarette gun in his waist. He was almost dressed like Luo Youdao. It's exactly the same, it should be a common dress for men here.

"Hmm, uh uh uh..." the man whimpered, still making gestures with his hands, and finally reached out and made a gesture of asking for money. It's a dumb who can't speak.

Luo Dajin said: "Dumb, guard the ancestral hall well. Today, you have taken up your place. You will keep the money. Tomorrow you will go to me to get two catties of good shredded tobacco." Luo Dajin gave some money.

The mute took the money, congratulated with both hands, and giggled at me, showing a row of yellow and smoky teeth, looking unconscious, and winking, he wanted to reach out and touch my head and glanced at the queen of Luo Dajin. , Took it back wisely.

Luo Dajin smiled and cursed: "Dumb, go back to sleep, the inside is already clean." The dumb waved his arm, and pointed at Luo Dajin for a while, then pointed at himself, opening his mouth and making a sound.

Luo Dajin scolded a few more words: "Will I lose you two catties of shredded tobacco? Come get it tomorrow!" The dumb night watchman made a grimace at me, yelled strangely, and rushed into the ancestral hall and closed the door.

Unknowingly, the night was deep, and the entire Heihua Village was pitch black, and only the lantern in front of the ancestral hall was shining brightly. Luo Dajin picked up the lantern that had just been placed aside, shining it on the way back.

Halfway through, Luo Dajin suddenly grabbed me, stopped, and shouted: "Uncle Dao, your identity is very different, why are you hiding in the dark?"

Ouch! A big black dog sprang out first, the iron chain on his neck shook, and Luo Dajin was behind him. The big dog's mouth opened wide, and it was very cruel. Luo Dajin glanced at the big dog, and the dog immediately disappeared and lay on the ground submissively.

Luo Youdao sneered: "I didn't hide in the dark, I just stood here waiting for you."

Luo Dajin said: "Uncle Dao, since you are waiting for me, why do you take a big dog to defend yourself?"

The light was weak, and Luo Youdao’s expression was not clearly visible, but he was very upset when he could guess it: "Did the ancestors give the insects?"

Luo Dajin said, "Of course, it is a strong and healthy emperor scorpion. Uncle You Dao, it seems that the ancestors are still on my side. Otherwise, they won't give me insects." The left hand lifted up, revealing the pattern of a poisonous scorpion.

Luo Youdaozai looked carefully for a long time, rustling on his face, then silent for a while, several times he stopped talking, and finally gave way: "I have nothing to say, you can go."

Luo Dajin took me to the front, and when I walked over, I smelled a meaty smell, which was emitted from the big black dog, and a faint mist was still enveloped around him. A pair of eyeballs were terribly red, and a glance at it made people panic and felt that it was a bit pitiful.

We walked for a while before Luo Dajin asked, "Luo Jiu, do you think Luo Youdao that big black dog is weird?"

I thought for a moment and shook my head: "There is a meaty smell on my body, but it's not that strange. Some stray dogs will also have a strange smell."

Luo Dajin said: "He dared to block me because he was pulling the black dog! The process of raising this black dog was cruel. The bitch gave birth to a litter of paparazzi and locked them up when they could bite. , Don’t give it food, let them bite, the last one that survived is the evil dog just now!"

I am no longer surprised that Gu worms are raised in such a similar way. He just thought it was ridiculous, he actually said that this was too cruel, but Luo Youdao used a litter of dogs, how could he compare to Luo Dajin's use of a living person.

I didn't know how to answer the conversation. I just smiled and yawned deliberately to hide my contempt for him. On the way back, I felt someone peeking in the cracks of the door along the way.

Back home, it was only a few hours before dawn.

Before going to bed, Luo Dajin said: "Get a good rest, I will find a way to replenish your body these few days. Also, starting tomorrow, you can walk freely in Heihua Village, but you can't walk out of the village for half a step."

Luo Dajin walked out of the room, I immediately rubbed the pattern of the poisonous scorpion with my fingers, and my entire arm was rubbed red, but there was still no way. I had no choice but to give up, it seems this ghost will stay in my hands forever.

I secretly calculated whether other gu worms had entered my body except for the poisonous scorpion after jumping from the spiritual position. After thinking for a while, I concluded that there should be another one. When I drank the terrible black medicine soup that day, I felt a worm drilling.

In other words, there are two worms in my body, one is a poisonous scorpion, and the other one I have never seen and cannot name it. They should get along well and won't fight, which makes me uncomfortable. I comfort myself.

When it was about to dawn, I fell asleep and dreamed of A-Ba and A-Ma. They stood together, and I ran towards them desperately. But when I was halfway through the run, a fat poisonous scorpion stood in the middle of the road, taller than a person.

It's hard to see each other again at the end of the sky. I cried loudly in my dream, howled loudly, and cried out all the sad things. The fat, poisonous scorpion twisted this body and put its weird right front claw on my shoulder. The whole scene was exceptionally bizarre and absurd.

After I woke up, the pillow was completely wet, and it seemed that I shed a lot of tears after falling asleep last night. Recalling the scene in my dream, I couldn't help but roll up my sleeves and look at the pattern on it. The fat scorpion seemed to move its tail. In this way, it was not so ugly.

After I got up, the room was empty. Luo Dajin had already gone out. There was cooked rice on the table, which was covered with a large bowl. After I had eaten, I decided to go for a walk.

Heihuazhai is built on the mountain. There are hundreds of houses with different materials. The richer homes use a lot of stone and high-quality wood, and the poorer ones are adobe bricks.

There are many branch roads in the stockade, but there is only one road out of the stockade. I walked out along the road, and saw a few women on the road, with children by their side. They hurriedly avoided, as if they were very scared.

I walked to the entrance of the stockade, and there were still ten meters left, so I didn't go any further. At this moment, I heard a manic dog bark.
