devil's son

Li Jiu looked at the devil who was being protected by the husband and wife. The little guy burst into tears, holding Lao Li's leg tightly like a dog's skin plaster, his body trembling slightly, obviously possessing such powerful power, but Like a bullied milk doll.

Devils are born with gloomy and evil spirits, born without joy, anger, worry, thought, sadness, fear, shock, without the seven emotions, without the six desires, born to be evil.

Devils are not tolerated by nature, they rarely appear in the world, and occasionally they are born and die soon. Li Jiu has lived a long life and this is the first time he has seen a real devil in his life.

But the devil in front of him is completely different from the records he saw in the Xuanmen inheritance. The little guy obviously already has the emotions and desires of human beings. If it weren't for those weird eyes and the dark and evil spirit writhing around him like a substance, he would look It is almost no different from ordinary three or four-year-old milk dolls.

Li Jiu did not directly answer the question of the old Litou and his wife, but instead expressed his doubts, "As far as I know, to grow up, devils must suck the blood of living people to prolong the yang energy and absorb the dark energy to preserve the yin energy." , balance of yin and yang, only by deceiving the secrets can you gain a chance of survival. How did you do it?"

Old Li said vigilantly: "I don't know what you're talking about, our Dong cubs haven't absorbed any dark energy, don't talk nonsense!"

Li Jiu easily caught the loophole in Old Li's words, "You didn't deny that he drank human blood!"

Grandma Sun said ferociously: "Even if Dongzai drank human blood, what's the matter? We are willing to use our own blood to treat Dongzai's illnesses, it's none of your business!"

It turned out that Dongzai would have a serious illness from January to July and a half every year. When Dongzai fell ill for the first time, he was still in his infancy. Old Li Tou and Mrs. Sun were frightened and rushed him to the county hospital. All the examination results showed that his internal organs were constantly failing. Doctors had never encountered such a strange disease, and they had no way of dealing with it.At that time, Grandma Sun looked at her baby son who was dying of illness, and her heart was like a knife. She somehow remembered that Dong Zai had sucked her blood when she was just born. She secretly fed Dong Zai her own blood behind everyone's back.

Sure enough, after Dongzai drank her blood, his condition gradually stabilized, and he recovered quickly without any medicine. The doctors and nurses in the hospital exclaimed it was a miracle.

Old Li and Mrs. Sun have been husband and wife for decades, and Mrs. Sun has a hard time hiding it from him. After Dong Zai recovers and returns home, Mrs. Sun will find an opportunity to tell him everything.

If it is said that Old Li was not very willing to raise winter cubs at the beginning, but after several months passed, the skinny and monster-like little guy was raised by them for nothing, and he was no different from his own son. He didn't hesitate to ask him to drink some blood, even if he asked him to cut a piece of meat.

I don't know if it's because the winter cubs have to be fed blood for a few days from the first half of July every year. Over the past three years, Old Li and Mrs. Sun's health has become worse and worse, and they have aged rapidly.

This year, the winter cubs are very competitive. Not only did they not get sick, but they grew a lot of meat because they ate a lot of chickens, ducks and sheep brought back by Mrs. Li and Mrs. Sun.

It's a pity that the two elders hadn't been happy for a few days, and Li Jiu came to the door.

As for the gloom that Li Jiu mentioned, after old Li Tou and Mrs. Sun became living corpses, they more or less realized that the old locust tree was unusual.Dongzai liked to hang around the old locust tree since he was a child. What did they not understand when Li Jiu said that?However, in order to protect Dong Zai, the two subconsciously chose to justify and conceal it, but no matter whether it was Old Li or Mrs. Sun, they were not very smart people in life or death, and Li Jiu easily caught the loophole.

Li Jiudao was advanced, and at the same time he was suspicious, he had actually discovered the unusual old locust tree in the courtyard.

"It's really none of my business that you are willing to use your own blood and vitality to support the devils, but the devils grow up to become a disaster for the world, and it is my responsibility to eradicate the evil spirits."

In fact, Li Jiu was also deeply moved by the love of Lao Litou and Grandma Sun, especially Lao Litou, who was beaten to death with deep resentment. He raised devils for more than three years and fed them with blood. Already contaminated with the dark evil spirit of the devil.After the tragic death of Old Li Tou, the resentment and obsession in his heart inspired these special dark and evil spirits, which finally helped him become a living corpse.

Living corpses usually don't have much wisdom and are driven by obsessions in life. Therefore, most living corpses will seek revenge on their former enemies immediately after they 'wake up' according to their instincts.But old Li did not do this. After he became a living corpse, he returned to his wife and children in a daze. Judging from his current situation, he had already recovered his memories before he was alive, but he still did not seek revenge from the people in Li Family Village.

It's not that I don't hate, it's just that compared to the love for my son, hate becomes less important.

Emotionally, the experience of Lao Litou's family is indeed worthy of sympathy, so Li Jiu is willing to save them, help them dispel their grievances, and send their husband and wife to repeat reincarnation.But intellectually, he can't let the devil continue to grow. Even if Dongzai behaves like an ordinary child now, who can guarantee that he can always maintain this innocence?Devils without the seven emotions and six desires and self-awareness can be punished by everyone, but once the devils with the seven emotions and six desires lose control or go to evil ways, the consequences will be disastrous.

Old Li said in a stern voice: "My winter cub is obviously not wrong, but you want to kill him wholeheartedly. You are killing innocent people indiscriminately. What kind of shit are you?!"

Grandma Sun's eyes were full of blood and tears, filled with resentment, "That's right, you can't kill my son!"

Seeing that old Li Tou and Grandma Sun were about to lose control of their emotions, and the ferocity on their bodies was getting heavier and heavier, Li Jiu said in a deep voice: "Your bodies have already started to rot, and if this continues, your bodies will completely fester within a month at most. , the soul will also collapse accordingly, and then you will not even talk about reincarnation, and you will not even have the chance to become ghosts and stay in the world."

Old Litou and Mrs. Sun had actually vaguely realized their fate, but they couldn't let Dong Cub go.These days, they have been quietly discussing in private, trying to find an adopter for the winter cub.

However, people in Lijiacun and nearby villages believed in the rumors spread by Zhao Chunjuan. People in Lijiacun even beat Lao Litou to death because of these rumors. It was enough restraint not to go to them for revenge, and he would not feel relieved to hand over the Winter Cub to these people no matter what.

Living corpses are afraid of light, and he and Mrs. Sun can't go to farther places. They don't know the character of each other if they find anyone.

Of course, in the final analysis, Old Li and Mrs. Sun couldn't let go of Dong Cub at all.

The appearance of Li Jiu directly shattered the last chance of old Li Tou and Mrs. Sun, and completely drove them into a desperate situation.

Hearing the result that he didn't want to hear the most, Lao Litou and Mrs. Sun looked at each other, and after each other nodded slightly, Lao Litou pulled Dongzai to him with blood and tears and said, "We believe you are a good person. We can give Dong Cub to you to raise, and if one day in the future, he really goes on an evil path, you can kill him or cut him up!"

Old Li Tou and Grandma Sun are not smart people. They have a heart for their children. In the desperate situation, the only way they can think of to save Dongzai's life is to put all their eggs in one basket.

When Dongzai heard that his father was going to hand him over to that scary fat old man, he turned around in fright and hugged his father's leg tightly, and cried with a cry: "Daddy, no, Daddy, good boy Dongzai, daddy, mommy, Dongzai!" Be good, cub, be good, Dong cub..." Don't want Dong cub.

When Li Jiu was young, he also married a wife and had children. Unfortunately, due to various reasons, his wife and children died tragically. When his son died, he was only three or four years old...

What's wrong with a childish child?What a child! !

In a trance, the ghost who was crying out of breath in front of him gradually overlapped with the son who died tragically in the early years.

Li Jiu's heart finally softened, and he sighed: "Okay, I can promise you. However, if he goes astray one day in the future, I will not tolerate it."

Old Li touched Dongzai's soft hair reluctantly and said, "My adopted son, I know that Dongzai is a good boy, and he will definitely have great achievements in the future."

Grandma Sun sternly said: "You must swear, if Dong Zai didn't do anything outrageous, you must not use any excuse to hurt him!"

Li Jiunian nodded in agreement with Sun Hong's motherly heart, "Yes."

With tears in her eyes, Grandma Sun hugged Dongzai, patted Dongzai's back tenderly, and said with a sob, "I want to make him another dinner, is that okay?"

"Yes." Li Jiu said, "I'll give you half a day, and I'll come back at midnight tonight."

Since the police came to the house a few days ago, Lao Li and Mrs. Sun were afraid of being caught, so they didn't dare to move again.Without the fragrant blood, there is no vitality to maintain the flesh. Even though they all wore the small stone fish given to them by the winter cubs, their bodies decayed faster.

There was no electricity and no refrigerator at home, and the chickens and ducks that Lao Litou and Mrs. Sun had stolen back couldn't keep them, so they cooked them for the winter cubs while they were fresh.Now there are two eggs at home, a little chicken oil and chicken meat, and some cabbage, tomato, beans and other vegetables in the vegetable field. Grandma Sun made several dishes after a little tidying up.

Dong Zai didn't know if he was frightened by Li Jiu, or if he was faintly aware of something, he didn't even eat two bites of his favorite steamed eggs for dinner, and just kept clinging to Old Li and Mrs. Sun, and when it was time to sleep, He also refused to sleep, and just looked at Mrs. Sun and Old Li longingly, as if they would abandon him in the blink of an eye.

Old Li Tou and Mrs. Sun coaxed him for a long time before they coaxed him to sleep.The winter cub was not sleeping peacefully at all, holding the corners of Grandma Sun's clothes tightly with his small hands, talking in his dreams from time to time, calling his father and mother, crying with a small nasal sound, until Lao Li and Grandma Sun's eyes were moistened by shouting Heart like a knife.

"The time has come." Not long after Dongzai fell asleep, Li Jiu and Ah Huang quietly appeared in the yard.

Old Litou and Mrs. Sun kissed Dongzai's cold little face for the last time, and quietly held the small stone fish that Dongzai gave them in their palms. The husband and wife looked at each other, and saw a trace of firmness in each other's rotten eyes.

After making a decision, Mrs. Sun and Old Li were no longer afraid of Li Jiu. They came to the courtyard and talked to Li Jiu about raising children.

"... Dong cub likes to listen to stories and draw pictures. If you are free, read a little storybook to Dong cub every day. There are two new story books at home. There are many characters on them that I don't know, so I didn't read them to them. Dong cub listen. When you take Dong cub away, remember to take those two books with you, by the way, there is also a dictionary, just think of me as a thought for the child."

"...Dongzai has been cold since he was a child. Remember to let him wear more clothes. I knitted a few new sweaters for him and put them in the box. Remember to bring them for Dongzai. Wear them for him when it's cold."

"...Dong Zai is timid and afraid of thunder. You have to accompany him when it thunders."

"... Dongzai likes to eat chicken cakes, if he is not happy, buy him some chicken cakes to eat, Dongzai is very good and easy to coax."

"..."

"..."

"...This is all the savings of me and the old lady. When Dongzai grows older, you will send him to study. Others say our Dongzai is a fool, but Dongzai is actually very smart. He will definitely be admitted to college in the future. "

"...Dong Cub has been quiet and not very talkative since he was a child, and he is also different from ordinary children. I have been worried that other children will bully him after he goes to school. Remember to pay more attention and help us watch, don't call People bullied him."

Unknowingly, a little white belly appeared on the horizon.

No matter how much reluctance there is, it's time to say goodbye.

Li Jiu had been silently listening to the chatter of old Litou and his wife. He probably understood why Dongzai, who was a devil, had human emotions.

The grace of nurturing is as heavy as a mountain.It is his blessing that Dongzai can meet his parents who love him so much.

"Don't worry, I will take good care of the winter cubs for you." Li Jiu solemnly promised.

Old Li Tou and Mrs. Sun showed gratitude, but unfortunately, their gradually rotting faces looked extremely stiff and hideous.

What should be explained has been explained, and before the sun came out, Old Li Tou and Mrs. Sun, with Li Jiu's acquiescence, took one last look at Dong Zai, went back to their bedroom, put on clean clothes and lay down on the bed.Li Jiu pasted two talisman seals on the two of them, and their souls slowly left their rotting bodies.

Li Jiu sat on the ground and recited the reincarnation mantra for them. During the repeated mantras, the dark resentment lingering around the two gradually dissipated.

In the dark, it seems that there is a voice calling, and there is a force pulling.

Come back, come back, come back, come back...

In the bedroom next door, Dongzai suddenly opened his eyes, and as soon as Gulu got up, he ran towards Old Li and his bedroom barefoot.

"Dad! Mom!"

The immature voice with a crying voice instantly brought back the sanity of Old Li Tou and Grandma Sun. The two stopped in unison, turned their heads and smiled lovingly at Dong Cub. In the next second, the almost transparent soul body turned into two A ray of light penetrated into the small stone fish they secretly held in their palms, and disappeared without a trace in the blink of an eye.

While weeping, Dongzai climbed onto the bed and took the small stone fish out of the rotten palms of his parents. The small stone fish, which was already dull and gray, turned as clear as jade.Dongzai's tears fell on the stone fish, and two small black dots slowly appeared in the fish's eyes, like a finishing touch, the lifelike stone fish seemed to come alive at this moment, it was obviously a dead thing, but Exudes a strong vitality.

Mom and Dad, no more.

Dong Zai held the little fish, pursed his mouth, and tears fell down.

Li Jiu sighed, stood up from the ground, stepped forward and lovingly touched the top of Dongzai's hair, and said: "They gave up reincarnation and merged into spirit fish to stay with you, I hope you don't let them down. good."

Dong Zai seemed to understand, holding the spirit fish tightly in his small hands, lying on the rotten bodies of Old Li Tou and Grandma Sun, crying loudly and mourning endlessly.
