monster he just wants to be a good guy

Xiaoman...what's wrong with you, didn't you light a torch?

After Lu Man left, the four adults in Qingmiao Village offered to take turns to watch the night, so that the father and daughter of the Lin family, who were extremely sleepy, could go back to the bedroom to rest.Dr. Lin's home is not big, and the living room can only allow three people to occupy a corner each, with sleeping bags spread out.Liu Kuangye pulled up a chair and sat quietly beside Uncle Liu's hospital bed.

"Go and have a rest." It was Zhang Qingyan's turn to be on duty in the middle of the night, and seeing Liu Kuangye still sitting there, she went up to persuade him.

Liu Kuangye's eyes were bloodshot from the boil.

"You said... Can Lu Man really come back within three days?" He was still uneasy. Liu Kuangye looked through the cat's eyes and saw the flickering flames gradually receding and disappearing at the end of his field of vision.

Lu Man should have successfully left Wulu Town.But it would take seven days at the fastest for a normal person to travel from Wulu Town to the southern forest.

Liu Kuangye held his father's hand and carefully stroked his rough back. He could feel his father's hand twitching and convulsing from time to time due to pain.

When Liu Kuangye put his hand on his abdomen, he could even feel the sound of the monster wriggling inside.

He could only wait here helplessly, waiting in agony for Lu Man to bring hope back.

"He can do it." Zhang Qingyan's tone was firm, and she had no doubts in Lu Man.Liu Kuangye's originally restless mood could not help calming down.

"You haven't closed your eyes for the past few days. You can't bear it anymore. We still need to save energy to fight against monsters. You go to rest, and I will help you look after Uncle Liu."

"Thank you." His tone was very light, but in this silent night, Zhang Qingyan could hear clearly, "I'm sorry."

They all knew what Liu Kuangye wanted to apologize for, and they didn't mention it tacitly.The past is long gone, there is no need to pursue it.

"Leave these words to Xiaoman. I don't need them." She nodded slightly and drove Liu Kuangye out.

Liu Kuangye looked back at Zhang Qingyan's back.The thing he hated the most about Zhang Qingyan before was the way she always proudly straightened her back and raised her head.

But now, seeing her straight back, he only feels at ease that he can have a reliable back, and at the same time feels ashamed of himself who was ugly because of jealousy in the past.

The waiting process was arduous and long.They spent the whole morning making torches, checking whether the doors and windows of the house were closed, and observing the outside situation through the door mirror.

When they were hungry, they cooked some prey to eat. Fortunately, they had a lot of prey tied around their waists to wait for the exchange of supplies, enough to last for a long time.

At noon, Uncle Liu was sober for a while, and he was hungry when he opened his mouth.

Dr. Lin asked Liu Kuangye to boil the leftover rabbit meat and broth, so that the nutrients could be absorbed and digested by the body more easily.

Uncle Liu still felt that it wasn't enough, yelling that he was so hungry that he staggered over and caught a hare, wanting to swallow it whole raw, but was stopped by Zheng Qingmiao in time.

Uncle Liu was so hungry that he struggled hard.Zheng Qingmiao and Li Nan started to hold down Uncle Liu, who was close to madness, and held his hands behind his back.

Gritting his teeth tightly, Liu Kuangye cooked the hare and handed it to his mouth, feeding him little by little to prevent him from clogging his esophagus due to wolfing down.

After eating frantically, his pain seemed to have eased a lot, and his frowning brows were slowly loosened. Uncle Liu finally fell into a short sleep.

"It seems that giving the patient more food should ease his pain... The eggs in his body have hatched into larvae in the intestinal tract and are absorbing a lot of nutrients. When no foreign food enters, the larvae will tend to eat away at the host's body." internal organs to obtain nutrients for growth." Dr. Lin deduced.

So next, every four hours, they would wake up Uncle Liu and feed him food.

Sometimes it is two hares, sometimes it is a whole pig leg, so as to reduce the scope of the internal organs being eaten by monsters.

But this method lost its effect the next day.

When feeding him at noon the next day, Uncle Liu felt a throbbing pain in his abdomen, his face changed, and there was a sound of retching in his throat.

Fortunately, Liu Kuangye quickly brought the trash can over, and he picked up the trash can and spit out all the hare meat he had just swallowed, with bloodshot eyes.

Dr. Lin put on his gloves and pressed Uncle Liu's abdomen a few more times: "I can't feed anymore... I didn't expect the larvae to grow so fast, and it would be difficult to operate afterward."

"Don't feed me, my father's internal organs will be eaten by monsters." Liu Kuangye's eyes widened in shock.

"Hey, the more nutrients you have, the faster the bugs will grow." Dr. Lin sighed.

They are caught in a dilemma, whether to feed or not to feed, no matter how you look at it, it is a dead end.

Uncle Liu held Liu Kuangye down, grinned, and his voice was still a little weak: "No need to feed...give me the food, isn't it cheap for that monster, why don't you stay and give it to you for a few more days."

"Father!" Liu Kuangye's voice trembled.

"Even if I can't take it anymore and go crazy and clamor for food, don't listen to me...Tie me up with a rope and tie me to the bed. Even if I die, I will drag this monster with me to support my back!"

Uncle Liu stopped talking, turned his back to them, and silently waited for the pain to come.Everyone didn't speak, and chose to respect Uncle Liu's own wishes.

In the middle of the night, Uncle Liu vomited blood for the first time.

He was already dazzled by the pain and hunger, blood was still hanging from the corner of his mouth, and he was clamoring for food.

Li Nan and Zheng Qingmiao held him down alone, while Liu Kuangye, with red eyes, used the thick ropes used to tie prey during hunting to tie his father and the bed board together in circles.

Uncle Liu was still struggling desperately like a trapped animal, roaring in pain, and the bed board made creaking and trembling sounds.

Lin Wan'er hugged her father's waist tightly, and Dr. Lin covered her daughter's eyes with her hands.

On the other side, Lu Man, with a ring of prey tied around his waist, carrying a bulging bag of medicinal herbs and juice of strange plants, stood on the fence of Wulu Town.

The dense fog still lingered, he lit the last torch, jumped off the wall, and ran towards the destination quickly, the flames on the torch could hardly keep up with Lu Man's footsteps, and drifted behind.

Suddenly, he stopped.

The voice came again, from the other side of the street.The thick fog covered the figure of the other party, and Lu Man could only hear the voice getting louder and closer.

Finally... he saw it.

The monster was really as expected, it was huge, its whole body was like a huge soft jelly, filling the whole street, its mucus stuck to the doors, walls and eaves of the surrounding houses, scratching off many roofs pieces of rubble.

Holding the torch, Lu Man didn't choose to run away, but walked sideways into the alley next to him.He tilted his head to observe, and the body of the monster happened to pass by, and a lot of flesh squeezed into the alley as it moved.

Lu Man held the torch and stood less than five meters away from it, and the monster didn't even notice it.

It seems that the monster's hearing, vision and sense of smell are very poor.Lu Man bent down to pick up a stone from the ground, and threw it hard at the monster.

The stone hit it, and the jelly made ripples, dissipating the force, and easily bounced the stone away.

Lu Man tentatively tore off a rabbit leg and threw it over.

This time it seemed to fall into the water, and the whole rabbit leg was slowly swallowed by the jelly.

If he tried to catch the monster with his hands, would he end up in the same way as this rabbit leg?Such a soft and creamy jelly-like body is really hard to focus on.Lu Man frowned, feeling troubled for the first time.

Regardless of this matter, the most important thing is to take the anesthetic and go back to save Uncle Liu.

Just as Lu Man was about to leave, the mucus splashed from the friction between the monster's body and the wall suddenly flew towards him.

He subconsciously stretched out his hand to block it, and the monster's body fluid splashed on the clothes, making a sizzling sound.Lu Man raised his head and suddenly found the same sound coming from the torch.

The flame at the top of the torch was doused by the slime, and white smoke came out.

He was plunged into darkness, and the sky was filled with fog.

Zhang Qingyan was guarding the door, through the door mirror, the night outside was dark, and the next night fell.Can Lu Man really come back tomorrow, can Uncle Liu really last until tomorrow... These questions are hanging in his mind.

But she can't do anything, she can only choose to believe in Lu Man's ability and Uncle Liu's will.

A fire suddenly lit up in the distance, and the sound of footsteps gradually came.Zhang Qingyan gestured for someone to approach, and the whole room fell silent.

When he got closer, Zhang Qingyan slowly saw the man's face clearly.It was a thin, strange man, holding a torch, and rushed over.

"Old Lin! Help...let me in!" The people outside the door looked anxious, but Dr. Lin's face turned cold when he heard the voice.

Lin Wan'er hid behind her father, staring at the iron gate timidly.

Everyone looked at Dr. Lin.This is Dr. Lin's home, and it's up to him to decide whether to let people in or not.

Doctor Lin shook his head slowly towards Zhang Qingyan.

Everyone was silent, only the restrained Uncle Liu groaned unconsciously on the bed.

The iron door was slammed frantically and made a clanging sound.Slowly, the anxious calls for help from the outsiders turned into hysterical insults.There was the sound of a monster wriggling in the distance, and he ran away cursing wildly.

Zhang Qingyan stared outside the door, at the end of the thick fog, there seemed to be shadows swaying faintly.

Familiar footsteps came over.

Zhang Qingyan's eyes lit up, and she saw Lu Man running towards them safe and sound, and stood still at the door.

"It's Xiaoman!" She tilted her head and whispered to them.

It was only late at night the next day, and Lu Man came back!Everyone stretched their necks in surprise and looked at the iron gate.

Zhang Qingyan was holding the doorknob, holding the lit torch in the other hand, and was about to open the door for him, when suddenly her expression froze.

She was so pleasantly surprised just now that she didn't notice any abnormalities in Lu Man's body.

Lu Man was completely submerged in the thick fog.

"Xiaoman...what's wrong with you, didn't you light a torch?"
