Gu Xiaoning has a younger brother who is 18 years old and works in the south. He has not returned yet. Her parents are taken care of by Yazi and some relatives.
Yazi walked over and patted Gu Xiaoning on the shoulder, whispering, "You forgot what Third Aunt said, don't cry!"
Gu Xiaoning quickly wiped away her tears and said to her gloomy mother, "Mom, what happened to Dad?" Then she turned to look at the old man lying next to her.
Her mother glanced at me and Shen Bing, two strangers, and seemed to think we were her daughter's friends, so she didn't say hello to us. She sighed and said, "It's all the fault of that Wang guy. He just left and ruined our family. Look at the words on the wall over there. I'm afraid your father won't survive tonight."
When we heard this, we all turned to look at the wall over there. On the west wall, there was a row of bright red characters: "If Wang Zijun cannot be found, Gu Laozhong will die within three days, and Gu Qinshi will die three days later!" It was obviously written in blood, which was shocking. I thought to myself that this was similar to the scene in The Return of the Condor Heroes where Li Mochou left a message to kill people, but the difference was that this bloody message was left by an evil spirit. Otherwise, this bunch of bastards would not have Li Mochou's powerful Qinggong skills, who came and went without a trace, and left a bloody message on the wall as if it were a piece of cake.
When Gu Xiaoning saw the bloody words, her face was filled with horror at first, and then she burst into tears. She threw herself on her unconscious father, but she didn't dare to cry out loud, and just sobbed quietly.
Duck tugged at her and whispered, "Why not let Mr. Xi take a look? He's a yin-yang master."
When Gu Xiaoning's mother heard the words "yin and yang master", she turned her head and looked at us, shook her head and said, "We invited Master Bei Sanpo Shi to take a look yesterday. He said that evil spirits have attacked your uncle's body and have sucked all the yang energy out of him. Your uncle is dying."
The duck said, "Every master has his own teachings. Mr. Xi is here, so it won't hurt to let him take a look."
Gu Xiaoning's mother nodded and said nothing more. Ya Zi pulled Gu Xiaoning away and was about to open her mouth to invite me. I raised my hand to signal that there was no need to say more, and then walked to the kang, lowered my head and carefully examined the old man's face. At a glance, I could see that there was a dark air between his eyebrows, and his eye sockets were dark and deeply sunken. Then he pointed at the quilt on his body, and Ya Zi was very tactful and lifted the quilt.
Oh, a hot and unpleasant smell hit my nose. Damn it, I can't complain about the bad smell when I'm next to their family. I quickly held my breath and felt better. I looked at the old man's fingernails, which were all black. I already understood what was going on.
I looked up and asked Gu Xiaoning's mother: "Did the old man have chest pain before, and his toenails are also black?"
The old lady was stunned for a moment and said quickly, "Yes. How did you know that?"
I smiled and said, "The old man can still be saved. Fortunately, we didn't stay in Heixugou last night, otherwise the old man would be dead today."
Gu Xiaoning happily grabbed my hand and said, "Thank you so much, Mr. Xi. If you had stayed in Heixugou last night, both the duck and I would have died."
Shen Bing suddenly coughed twice, and Gu Xiaoning realized that she had lost her composure and hurriedly retracted her hand. I didn't dare to look back at Shen Bing, but I was complaining in my heart. She was just holding hands out of affection, which was much better than kissing on the cheek when meeting in foreign countries. This little hand was very soft and smooth. When she held my hand just now, my heart was beating non-stop.
