Chapter 33: Injury

After shouting this, Xiaobei fell into a state of inertia. All of a sudden, my mind was racing with a thousand thoughts. Could it be that Xiaobei had made a mistake in his budget and even he had been taken in? This was my first thought! Next, my mind was a little chaotic…

The most urgent task was to save Xiaobei first, and I couldn’t think about anything else. But before I could find out what was wrong with Xiaobei, Zhao Hong roared again and took a step forward, fighting with the air and pulling out a gun in a state of excitement…

Laohui and Yuanyi quickly went to stop him, without having time to think about the figure, while I and Gao Ning went to check on Xiaobei. Only Huigen shouted, “What’s going on? I’m looking at a blank!”

Hearing Hui Gen’er’s words, I couldn’t help but turn and take a look at the figure. I was stunned after just one glance. How… how could it be? Could it be her?

A long robe of dark green, long hair, beautiful but pale, and a face full of sadness and twisted鈥擫i Fengxian!

She, she was scattered to the four winds, wasn’t she? How could Li Fengxian be here? For a moment, my mind was a bit confused. In a flash, I suddenly realized that I was no longer outside the warehouse, but in a familiar room…

This room I had always dreamed of, isn’t it the house I lived in when I was a child? If I remember correctly, this is the room where my eldest sister and second sister lived together. The white paint on the white wall over there has peeled off, and on the foot of the bed, there is a little figure I drew wearing a red army hat… Everything is so familiar, and I suddenly felt dazed.

“Sanwa, what are you standing there gawking at? Take this out. Second sister is not well. You have to be sensible and not worry your parents.” A familiar voice came into my ears. I looked up and saw it was my eldest sister.

In reality, my sister is already middle-aged, with fine, subtle lines on her face, adding a touch of maturity. But at this moment, she is so young and innocent, with a big black braid, simple clothes, and an anxious face for my second sister. Everything overlaps with my memory of my sister!

No, it was my older sister. The days when our family was poor but supported each other suddenly came to mind. I thought I would never be able to return to those days, but I was here. In an instant, I was even more confused…

“What are you still doing?” My sister came over, put the bowl in my hand, and then turned around to wipe her sister’s face with a wet towel.

I… I always feel that something is wrong, but the next moment I am in a trance. What should I do? Shouldn’t I go to the kitchen to put the bowls away? I really don’t understand. The whole family is anxious about my sister, but I am in a trance here.

Thinking about this, I turned around and went to the kitchen to put the dishes away, but I saw my parents come in anxiously. I suddenly felt a lump in my throat, and an overwhelming thought came to mind: my parents were still young at this time!

I don’t know why I thought this way, so I suddenly put down the bowl and threw myself into my mother’s arms, crying and crying, crying out, “Mom, Mom…”

My mother looked at me in bewilderment at first, but then she unconsciously hugged my head and said with a hint of sadness, “What’s wrong with this child?”

I didn’t understand what was wrong with me. Why was I crying?

At this point, my father suddenly patted my head and said, “Are you sad for your sister? It’s okay, Master Jiang is coming. Don’t do this. Your mother will be even more upset later. Don’t forget what I told you. You are also a man in the family, aren’t you?”

I sobbed, wiping away my tears. In fact, I had a strange feeling in my heart that I couldn’t get rid of, but I couldn’t remember what it was!

Under the eaves, my father and I squatted here, staring at the door, both of us feeling a sense of hopelessness. My sister’s condition had become increasingly serious, and she was even having difficulty eating liquid food. She was also becoming less and less lucid. But why wasn’t Master Jiang, as my father called him, coming?

In fact, I don’t know what I was thinking. I always felt that I had a familiar feeling in my heart for this person who was about to arrive, and I was even more looking forward to his arrival. Could it be that I knew him?

I couldn’t figure it out, and I couldn’t even think of what kind of image existed in my mind, making me feel that I would have a familiar feeling for the person who was about to arrive!

At that moment, the door was knocked on. My father, overjoyed, ran to open the door. I suddenly felt a sense of trepidation. What was I afraid of? Was I afraid of seeing something? But even so, I followed my father’s footsteps.

The time it took to open the door seemed like a million years. The familiar sound of the door opening with a long, lingering tone entered my mind. I looked up and saw a man with a very dignified face, very angular, but with messy hair and a beard that made him look like a lecherous old man. Perhaps he couldn’t be seen to be old, and he looked like a middle-aged man standing outside the door.

The clothes he was wearing were messy and even a little dirty, and his appearance was also sloppy, so people couldn’t feel a sense of trust.

But suddenly I burst into tears, and suddenly my throat tightened and I couldn’t say a word. He was so deeply imprinted in my memory that just one glance made me suddenly feel like I had traveled through time and space. I knew that he would spank me next, that I would become his apprentice in a few days, and that I would soon be unlucky enough to start cooking and doing the laundry…

But the years I spent with him taught me that even if I would have to go through a lot of hardships in the future, I would still be willing to go through it all again!

“Master…” I cried as I walked towards him, and he looked at me in surprise!

His appearance made me realize that I was already in the environment, because I had said that he had almost become an obsession in my life. With just one glance, I could recall all my memories. Wasn’t it clear that I was in a dream?

But I didn’t want to wake up, so I walked towards him step by step, and my choked voice finally called out a complete sentence: “Master… Master…!”

Then I rushed over to him. I wanted to hold him and say, “Don’t go after a few decades, okay?”

But at this moment, all the scenes in front of my eyes shattered. Then I was suddenly distracted and suddenly returned to the dark warehouse outside the door. Where was my sister? Where were my parents? Where was my master?

I touched my face and was almost in tears. I looked around and everyone had gathered around me!

Lao Hui said to me with some trepidation, “It was a spirit, a very powerful spirit that can evoke people’s most terrifying and warmest memories. If it weren’t for Hui Gen’s constant vigilance, we would all have been possessed.”

A demon spirit? This is a kind of ghost that is very good at seducing people and making them fall into the environment. If it is deliberately cultivated, its power is even greater than that of a zombie with a shocking killing power!

Moreover, how long ago was it? I once knew that there was a spirit in the Hungry Ghost Tomb, but unfortunately I never experienced it or saw it with my own eyes. I never thought that so many years later, I would meet a spirit here again!

Things in this world are really hard to explain. Just as I didn’t encounter it many years ago, now I have to encounter it again. It’s like fate. Maybe today I will miss you, but who knows if we will ever pass each other, smile at each other, and then part ways?

This kid Hui Gen is really something. He is worthy of being the disciple that Master Hui has been looking for for many years. He has the same heartache as I do, but he has no fear, which is also part of his complete state of mind. Naturally, the enchanting spirit will not have much effect on him.

I can’t do it. I’m too afraid. It turns out that the feeling of my sister dying was the thing I feared the most. Because it was the first time I was afraid that I would lose someone important!

“Chengyi, I clearly saw you suddenly become lucid in your eyes, but it seemed like you didn’t want to wake up, standing there crying so hard?” The one asking was Yuan Yi, my older brother.

But I didn’t know how to answer. Perhaps your fear was precisely the comfort of my soul. I even felt like I was caught in a memory and didn’t want to wake up. How deep was this obsession? I didn’t want to think about it anymore.

For some reason, the wind started to blow. I faced the wind, lit a cigarette, and remained silent…
