126. Magic Stick (17) (1/2)
Zhong Hua was also smiling, but this smile was too bitter. He looked at the little girl in front of him.
She was still the same size and size as she remembered, so it could be seen that she was killed not long after leaving home.
Such a small, well-behaved child could have grown up happily...
"Xiliu, come to my brother."
He stretched out his arms and made a hug gesture, and the little girl walked over with her legs. Seeing that she was almost there, she suddenly stopped again.
Xiliu raised her palm-sized face, looked at the person in front of her carefully, and said seriously, "Brother, I'm going to strangle uncle to death now, can you wait for me for a while?"
Her voice was still full of childishness, sweet and coquettish towards those close to her, but with such a sweet voice, she said words that made her face turn pale.
Zhong Hua stared blankly at the girl in front of him. Her face was fair and clean, her hair was messy, and her beautiful eyes that were originally full of innocence and childishness were now covered with hatred.
Those eyes used to be dark and bright, reminding people of the most beautiful stars, but now, they are full of red, like evil ghosts who have just crawled out of hell.
What should be feared is that she is no longer the cute little sister, but a ghost who has been dead for several years.
But, why are you so scared?
If Xi Liu can't come, Zhong Hua will go.
The young man slowly walked to her side, and carefully, little by little, picked up the little child.
It was light and weightless, but he touched it.
After he picked the person up, he discovered the marks on Xiliu's neck. They were pinch marks left by an adult's hands. The bruises were very scary to look at.
Zhong Hua stretched out his hand, touched it carefully, and asked in a harsh voice, "Does it hurt?"
The little girl snuggled into her brother's arms obediently and shook her head, "It hurt at that time, but it doesn't hurt anymore."
She opened her eyes wide and turned around unwillingly, looking in the direction of her enemy. Her voice was crisp and clear, "Brother, my uncle is a bad person. I want to strangle him to death."
"Xiliu Guai, he is a bad guy and will be punished. Don't do it yourself, okay?"
The young man's consolation did not make Xiliu happy. She pursed her lips and her eyes were filled with blood, "I want him to die. I want him to be like Xiliu!"
Zhong Hua's eyes were red, and he didn't want that scumbag to die, but Master Wei said that if Xi Liu really made a move, she would never be reincarnated again.
"Xiliu, listen to my brother, he has more than a month left to live. Even if you don't do anything, he will die of pain..."
The little girl pushed him away and landed lightly on her feet. There seemed to be tears in her eyes, but when they fell down her fair cheeks, they turned into tears of blood.
"I can't wait..."
Her voice was still as tender as a girl's, but hoarse like an old man's. Xi Liu stood on the ground, with a pair of originally tender feet covered with wounds.
"My uncle buried me in a mountain of garbage. It was so smelly and dirty there. My whole body hurt from the sun, as if I was being roasted by fire, but he could walk in the sun..."
"I know good children shouldn't be jealous, but Xi Liu can't help but be jealous of his uncle."
"He is a bad person. Why can he not be burned by the sun? Why can he talk to many people? Xiliu must hide in a dirty place where he is not exposed to the sun. No one can see me and no one can talk to me... Walking on the road at night is very scary. If you see people, you have to avoid them, otherwise your body will hurt..."
"I wanted to go home to find grandpa, but after walking for a long time, I realized that even if I returned home, grandpa would not be able to see Xiliu anymore... He would never see Xiliu again, and he would not be able to call Xiliu by his name. I took Xiliu to play..."
Zhong Hua's heart felt heavy and swollen after hearing this. His hatred for Wang Jinchuan deepened in his heart, and his tears couldn't stop falling.
"Xiliu, go home..."
The girl who was hanging her head and crying suddenly turned her head, and her eyes that were originally full of innocence were now staring in the direction of Wang Jinchuan's house full of hatred, "It's all uncle's fault!"
"Xiliu finally found him. Every day and night, he tried very hard to make him like Xiliu, but he couldn't feel it. He just couldn't feel it!!"
"But it's different now..."
The little girl turned around happily, showing a cute smile with dimples, sweet and full of expectation. She stretched out her hands, and showed Zhong Hua her tender, fleshy little hands that belonged to a child.
"Brother, I just met my uncle."
"Just a little bit, just a little bit, he can be like Xiliu. He will also be roasted by the sun and hit by people..."
The smile on Xi Liu's cute and delicate face became bigger and bigger, and her eyes became redder.
She smiled happily and said sweetly: "Brother, just wait for me for a moment. When I kill uncle, I will go home with you."
"When you kill him, you'll never be able to go home."
The crutch hit the stone, and the man in Taoist robes walked out of the bamboo forest. He came to Zhong Hua and put away the bell in the young man's hand.
Wei Mingyan took out a piece of red thread from his sleeve, slowly tied it to the bell and wound it around, one after another.
"You didn't do any bad things when you were a human being. You could have been reincarnated smoothly, but when you killed someone as a clean soul and your hands were stained with blood, you could no longer be reincarnated."
The handsome man raised his eyes slightly and looked at the stubborn girl, "Didn't I tell you all this?"
"In more than a month, Wang Jinchuan will die from pain. You can still smash him to pieces. Even if you bite off his soul, it won't be a big deal. But now, you can't."
Xi Liu's small hands gradually clenched, she gritted her teeth and took a step back with tears in her eyes, "I don't want to wait."
"No matter how much pain he feels, no matter how uncomfortable he is, he is still alive!!"
"He can eat, drink water, and walk around in the sun. Many people will see him and talk to him. When walking on the street, he can bump into anyone without any pain..."
"Even if he rolls over in pain and hits a wall, he is still alive!!"
"But I'm dead!" Her eyes were full of hatred, and every word she spoke was like crying with blood and tears, "I also want to live, I also want to talk to people, no one can see me, no one If you can hear my voice, I know that if I die, there will be nothing left!"
"But uncle is alive. No matter how painful he is, he is still alive!"
Zhong Hua's eyes were bloodshot. He took a step forward and tried to protect the little sister he had grown up with in his arms.
"Xiliu, he will die. He will die soon. It's not worth it for you to give up reincarnation for such a person. Just listen to me."
"worth!!"
The little girl even responded sharply, "He killed me, why can't I kill him!"
"I just want him to be like me, why not!"
"As long as he survives, I will feel miserable!"
"So, I'm going to kill him, and I'm right!"
Zhong Hua finally held this cold child soul in his arms: "Xiliu, you are obedient, please be good first, okay? My brother will help you get revenge, where is your body? My brother will help you find it, okay?" "
Xiliu leaned in his arms. The fierceness that had flashed just now dissipated after seeing the people close to her. She burst into tears, "Brother, don't you love me anymore? Why do you all have to Protect him, obviously...he is the bad guy..."
"Xiliu listened to what grandpa said. Xiliu never did a bad thing. But Xiliu is dead. You will never see Xiliu again. You can't, you can't talk to Xiliu..."
"These are all caused by uncle. He caused Xiliu to become like this. He is a bad person. Why do you still protect bad people..."
"No, it's not like that..." Zhong Hua's heart softened when the girl in his arms cried. He was sad, but tried hard to pretend as if nothing had happened, and squeezed out a smile with his eyes red.
"Xiliu, brother can see you. From now on, you will stay with him and he will take you to work. It is fun there. You can watch TV and computer. Whatever clothes you like, brother will buy them for you. How are you?"
He stretched out his hand tremblingly, gently and full of pity, and helped the little girl arrange her hair, "Just follow my brother, and he will protect you, okay?"
Xi Liu raised her head and looked at Zhong Hua in confusion. Just when the young man thought she agreed, the little girl in front of him pushed his hand away and ran out of his arms.
"Thank you, brother."
"I will come find you after I kill my uncle."
"Xi Liu!! Xi Liu!!"
Zhong Hua stood up helplessly and wanted to catch up, but his arm was grabbed by Wei Mingyan.
He was so panicked that he didn't know what to do. Seeing the man in Taoist robes in front of him was like meeting a god, "Master Wei, can you stop Xi Liu..."
"late."
Wei Mingyan looked at the child in front of him who was becoming more solid, and his eyes darkened, "She has turned into a ghost."
"Even if you don't move that man, the evil ghost cannot be reincarnated."
"Li Gui... Li Gui... I can't, master, Xi Liu is a good child. She is very good and obedient. She will not harm others. I beg you to help her. She has never done anything like this. You shouldn't do bad things like this..."
Wei Mingyan kept his eyes on the direction where Xi Liu disappeared. He finally wrapped the bell tied with a red rope and slowly put it in his sleeve.
"Since Xiliu died, she has been possessed by Wang Jinchuan. She has indeed not done any bad things, but she is a child, a piece of blank paper, with no one to teach her, and she is followed by Wang Jinchuan, a person who has done all bad things. Guy."
"I guess Xi Liu should have learned a lot from him."
"A child is like a sword. If taught by a good person, it is a good sword. If held by an evil person, even a good sword will be taught bad. What's more, no one can see Xi Liu since he died. It’s not surprising that she has to endure the pain of the sun’s burning and turn into a devil.”
Zhong Hua couldn't accept this answer. He shook his head in a daze, "But she is still a child. She doesn't understand anything. It's not her fault..."
"It's really not her fault."
Wei Mingyan patted his sleeves lightly and walked forward slowly, "This is a good ending, but it would be unfair to Xi Liu, who has suffered a serious crime, to reincarnate without doing anything."
"Master, master, what do you mean, don't you care about Xiliu? Master..."
Zhong Hua looked at the man in front of him who was following Xi Liu's footsteps and wanted to follow him in a hurry, but he didn't know what was going on. It was clear that Taoist Master Junmei was walking slowly, but he couldn't keep up.
He could only shout to the Taoist priest to follow him.
***
Wang Jinchuan had a dream. He has been dreaming these days. He dreamed that he was rolling around on many iron nails. His whole body ached and he could not stop even after he became a bloody man.
He screamed in pain and called for help all night long. When he woke up, the pain in his body only caused him to fall into a more lucid dream.
But today's dream changed. He dreamed that he fell into an icy lake, surrounded by icy lake water. He struggled desperately, but he couldn't get out.
There are many vicious dogs in the lake. They have blood-red eyes and long fangs, and they are looking around fiercely.
Wang Jinchuan was frightened. He desperately tried to swim up, but his neck was entangled with the water plants in the lake. As he struggled, the water plants became more and more entangled. He couldn't breathe and couldn't use his feet. In his heart, Full of despair.
--Help!
——Who will save him!
——Is there anyone who can help me?
Despair, pain, and suffocation, the vicious dogs around him rushed up with blood-red eyes and bit at his body.
Wang Jinchuan opened his eyes suddenly and met the eyes of a little girl.
She has cute, beautiful and exquisite facial features, and she wears childlike cartoon clothes, but her big round eyes, which were originally full of innocence, are filled with blood and hatred.
"uncle……"
Xi Liu smiled sweetly, "Does it hurt?"
The man's pupils suddenly shrank, and he struggled desperately to get rid of the hand on his neck, but it was useless, it was of no use at all.
They were obviously the hands of a child, but these small hands that could once be easily controlled had now become a sickle that could kill him.
His breathing was forced to stop. Wang Jinchuan's face became red due to suffocation, and his eyes became bloodshot.
He had never realized so clearly that he was going to die.
During this period, no matter how painful it was, Wang Jinchuan never thought about dying.
Only as long as he is alive can he have hope, and he will not be stupid enough to kill his own hope with his own hands.
Xiliu will not allow Wang Jinchuan to have hope.
The man's eyes gradually became cloudy. He stretched out his hands desperately and struggled for help, making a cry of "Uh-huh" for help.
He doesn’t want to die, he doesn’t want to die——
When you die, there is nothing—
"Happy... happy... happy willow..."
Finally, the man who was being strangled made a sound. He struggled and begged for mercy in a hoarse voice, "I was wrong..., Xi Liu... don't kill me..."
"...please...Xiliu..."
The little hands on his neck slowly loosened.
Wang Jinchuan suddenly got air and breathed heavily. He even coughed because he was too anxious. Even though the coughing made his whole body uncomfortable, the man still breathed hard.
If he wants to live, he must live.
"Uncle, do you really know that you are wrong?"
The girl's crisp voice sounded clear and clear. Wang Jinchuan trembled all over. He tried hard to suppress his fear and raised his eyes to look at the girl in front of him.
The little girl in front of her has a fair complexion and big eyes. She is sitting on the edge of the bed in an obedient posture. Except for her blood-red eyes, there is no difference between her and other people.
Seeing that Wang Jinchuan didn't answer, Xi Liu tilted his head and asked again, "Uncle, do you know you were wrong?"
"I know, I know...I know I was wrong, Xiliu, I'm sorry for you, you're the beast, I'm not a human being..."
The man ignored the cough and quickly got up, huddled in the corner, and stretched out his palms desperately to hug his face.
He was frightened, so he used a lot of force, and soon palm prints appeared on his face, but even this was not enough for Wang Jinchuan, so he hit himself with all his strength while the little girl watched quietly.
"I was wrong, I was wrong Xi Liu, please let me go, let uncle go, okay?"
The man begged, but the little girl still maintained her original sitting position. She blinked her blood-red eyes, showing a bit of innocence on her face, with a smile on her fair face, "Uncle, do you want me to forgive you?"
"Yes, yes, Xiliu, you are a good boy, let your uncle go, he will burn paper for you and worship every year, okay!"
The girl shook her head, her cute and childish face full of innocence, "Uncle, please cut off your hand. That day, he pinched Xiliu's hand."
"If my hand is gone, I will forgive my uncle."
The man's face was even paler than before.
"Xi...Xi Liu, does this have to be like this? If my uncle cuts his hand, it will be very painful... Xi Liu is a good boy and won't bear it, right?"
The little girl pouted unhappily, "But when uncle pinched Xiliu, it hurt me too."
"Uncle, if you don't want to, come and stay with me..."
"No no no!!! Uncle is willing, uncle is willing -"
Wang Jinchuan came to the kitchen of his home with his legs weak. He had a butcher's knife left by his father who had died long ago. It was extremely sharp.
He held the knife in his right hand and put his left hand on the chopping board. The sweat all over his body fell like raindrops and soon soaked the entire suit.
"Xiliu, I, I only cut off my left hand, okay? I can't cut off both hands by myself..."
The little girl wearing cartoon Mickey Mouse clothes followed behind. She stood on tiptoes, looked over, and said in an innocent tone, "Okay."
"I also don't think uncle can cut off two hands by himself."
Before Wang Jinchuan could breathe a sigh of relief, Xi Liu continued, "Then cut off his right hand and right leg."
The man has long been so stiff that he can no longer be stiff.
If he loses his arms and legs, how will he live in the future?
"Xiliu, Uncle Xiliu, please..."
The knife fell to the ground. Wang Jinchuan knelt down and begged the little girl who was strangled to death by his own hands, "Please let me go. I really know I was wrong. Let me go..."
Xiliu's expression became cold. The little girl's stern face should be funny, but her blood-red eyes made her look like an evil ghost who had just crawled out of hell.
"Isn't this how uncle treats those who owe debts?"
She squatted down, being careful not to let her Mickey Mouse clothes get close to the ground, picked up the kitchen knife, handed it to the man, and smiled at him.
The voice was sweet, waxy, crisp and pleasant, "I learned these from my uncle."
"Didn't uncle always say, either cut off the finger or pay back the money?"
"Uncle either cut off his right hand or leg, or he became like Xi Liu. It's very simple, right?"
Wang Jinchuan shook his hands, his eyes full of fear and despair, and took the butcher's knife.
In the process of receiving the butcher's knife, he touched the little girl's hand.
It was cold and chilly, making his whole body shiver.
"Xi...Xi Liu, I cut my hands and legs, will you forgive me?"
Listening to the man's hopeful question, the little girl showed a cute smile and said, "Yes, I will forgive uncle."
In order to survive, as long as you can survive!
Wang Jinchuan gritted his teeth, his forehead was covered with sweat, and he raised the knife to his right hand.
——"Ahhhhh!!!"
He almost fainted from the pain, his whole body was shaking, and tears burst out in an instant.
Blood splattered all over the floor, and the left hand holding the knife dropped weakly.
The short, slightly chubby child's fingertips touched Wang Jinchuan's right leg with cold touch. The man's face was covered with sweat and tears, and he raised his head and looked into the little girl's beautiful big eyes that had finished laughing.
She reminded harshly, "Uncle, I still have legs."
Wang Jinchuan closed his eyes in despair and waved it down with all his strength.
There was another scream, and the man almost collapsed. His lips turned white in an instant, and he fell to the ground wailing.
It hurts, it hurts, but at the same time, I feel relieved.
Just be alive, just be alive.
The moment he relaxed, a pair of cold hands slowly fell on Wang Jinchuan's neck.
The man's eyes widened in disbelief, and he tried his best to give a flattering smile, "Xiliu, Xiliu, didn't you say, forgive uncle..."
"I lied to uncle. Doesn't uncle like to lie the most?"
The little girl smiled a little proudly and slowly tightened her hands.
She leaned forward slightly, placed her lips on Wang Jinchuan's ear, and whispered as if whispering:
"Uncle, I asked you to chop off both hands, why don't you?"
"I don't know what's good or bad."
The last words I heard before I died were finally returned.
Wang Jinchuan struggled desperately, his legs weakly kicking on the ground, and finally, little by little, he lost his breath.
Before his soul could come out, it was already being torn apart by a swarm of bad luck, as if fighting for some delicious food. You pull a piece, and I take a bite.
——"Ahhhhhh!!!"
The sound that can only be heard by the soul echoed in the room. The little girl slowly stood up. Although she knew she couldn't get on it, she still walked around the blood on the ground.
She walked out with light steps, the blood in her eyes gradually faded, and after a moment of confusion, only innocence remained.
When she got outside the yard and saw the young man running towards him with sweating profusely and worried eyes, Xi Liu smiled like a coquettish and sweet child.
"elder brother!"
She was picked up, and the little girl snuggled into Zhong Hua's arms obediently. Her little hands restlessly hugged his neck and rubbed his neck, whispering, "I miss grandpa."
"I am afraid."
Zhong Hua's heart softened when she touched her like this, and he hugged the little girl and coaxed her non-stop.
"Be good, it's okay, it's okay, Xi Liu is not afraid..."
Wei Mingyan was leaning against the wall. He didn't know how long he had been here. At this moment, he didn't even look at the newborn souls howling miserably in the room. His eyes fell lightly on Xi Liu, who looked like an ordinary little girl.
The redness in her eyes had faded, and she was white and lovely. She was obediently accepting the comfort when she suddenly met the eyes of the handsome Taoist Priest.
Xi Liu shrank her little bloody feet in fear, her eyes full of timidity.
The man in robes slowly stood up straight, took out the little bell, and put it around the little girl's neck under the panicked gaze of the little girl who wanted to cry but didn't dare.
Zhong Hua stiffened, "Master..."
"Wearing this can cover up the dead energy."
Wei Mingyan stretched out his hand, pricked a needle on his index finger, and under Xi Liu's confused and wary gaze, he tapped it between her eyebrows.
"You will follow me from now on and be my granddaughter's playmate when she grows up."
"You have to do good deeds to get the chance of reincarnation, you hear me?"
The little girl timidly agreed with tears in her eyes, and quietly grabbed Zhong Hua's collar with her little hands. Her two beautiful black eyes were full of fear for Wei Mingyan.
She responded with a cry in her voice, "I heard it..."
There were still tears on Zhong Hua's face. After realizing what Wei Mingyan said, he cried and laughed at the same time, "Thank you, thank you..."
"Let's go and see your grandfather for the last time. By the way, I'll teach you how to send away your first soul."
Wei Mingyan took the girl whose eyes lit up when she heard her grandfather from Zhong Hua's arms, held her in his arms and led the way out. Zhong Hua followed her quickly before he could think too much.
As for the desperate screams in the house that the defender clearly heard?
Sorry, he is old and his ears are not working properly.
The author has something to say: The first ten little angels will be given red envelopes, and they will be praised, kissed, and hugged in advance! !
There will be another update at about 12 o'clock. Xi Liu will become a guardian god (ghost?) of Qiqi in the future. When he accumulates enough merit, he will be reincarnated through the back door.
