Chapter 10: Tongue
Seeing his anxious look, it didn't look like he was acting.
Didn’t he pull out my parents’ tongues and teeth?
I took him to my home.
When he arrived at the door of his house, he suddenly stopped: "Go dig a hole three inches outside the threshold."
I didn't know why, but I did it anyway.
I have no other choice but to listen to him.
I walked to the threshold, estimated the distance of three inches, and dug out the dry hard soil with my bare hands.
The soil here is all black. I heard that the soil is fertile and suitable for growing crops.
After digging down for more than three inches, I felt a hard object and shook my hands to turn it out.
This is a tooth!
It's a little yellow, and there's a hole missing on one side.
It's my father's tooth!
I'm so sure that because of his chipped teeth, he always had them plugged in.
"give it to me!"
I handed the tooth to the half-immortal, who brought it close to his nose and smelled it, his face becoming more serious.
"Go into the house. Go under your pillow and turn inside the stove!"
I walked into the house, opened my pillow, and saw several rows of teeth neatly arranged underneath!
Some are yellow, some are white, without exception, they all belong to my parents.
My hands were shaking a little, and I felt heartbroken when I thought about my parents exchanging twenty years of life for my life.
Theoretically, I should hate half-immortals.
If it weren't for him, I wouldn't have lost my parents so early.
However, I should be grateful to him.
If it weren't for him, I might have lost my life long ago. Due to the many ghosts and ghosts and Wong Ka Sin, maybe my parents would have suffered as well.
"What are you doing standing around? Go to the back room and turn over the stove!"
The half-immortal shouted, a little anxiously.
I came to my senses, walked to the back room, dug through the dust and wood, and found two pieces of indiscernible meat inside!
The meat is soft and slightly elastic.
I wipe them clean with a rag.
If you look carefully, it's my parents' tongues! They're red and full of color.
After all, I couldn't hold it back and shed tears.
My parents' tongues were inside the stove, but I didn't know it.
When I lit the fire, they burned together!
Suddenly, my hair stood on end, and I suddenly understood what was strange.
I have burned it several times, so logically speaking both pieces of tongue should be cooked!
However, these two pieces of tongue are brightly colored and seem to still grow in the human mouth!
The half-immortal snatched the tongue and the red string, put a finger into his mouth and bit it, pressed the blood on his tongue with the blood from his fingertip, and drew a strange Taoist symbol in a flying way.
After he finished the last stroke, his tongue started to dance like a living thing!
The runes on the tongue made bursts of "sizzling" sounds, sharp and harsh.
An unpleasant odor spread in the air.
The half-immortal took out a thin rope from his arms. It was red, a bit brighter than blood.
He tied the two tongues together with a red rope, and the tongues became motionless like a dead fish with its belly turned inside out.
He stared at me with his white eyes and said, "Eat it!"
I couldn't help but take two steps back.
When facing the black goat, I attacked decisively and crushed the goat's eyes like beads.
But facing these two tongues, I hesitated.
This is my parent's tongue!
The half-immortal said coldly: "If you want your parents' souls to leave here, just do it! Otherwise, the dream-eating tapir will keep torturing them. It likes your resentment and fear the most."
I gritted my teeth and snatched my tongue. The red rope on it was so tight, and the Taoist talisman on it shone with golden light.
I persuaded myself that this was not a tongue, but just two pieces of dead meat.
Same as sheep eyes, same as mutton, same as dead mice.
I endured the strong nausea and stuck my tongue into my mouth.
Hot, scorching, slippery, sticky, with a disgusting fishy smell.
My stomach was churning, my eyes were bloodshot and red, and I clenched my fists to prevent myself from vomiting.
The half-immortal stood there, his pupils behind the white membrane turning around.
His expression was so strange that it reminded me of the tabby cat my neighbor had when I was a kid. It was so thin that it always liked to hide in corners and peek.
I swallowed the two pieces of tongue with difficulty.
The half-immortal suddenly looked older and seemed thinner than before.
I resisted the desire to vomit and asked bluntly: "Can my parents rest in peace now?"
The half-immortal smiled half-heartedly: "What do you think is peace?"
"Reincarnation, reincarnation as a human being..."
"Then you meet someone with a fate like yours and die suddenly at home? After suffering all the pain, sorrow, resentment and embarrassment, you die with regret? This is not called rest, this is called suffering. You thought you saved them, but you don't know that they may not be as good as they are now.
Have a good time!”
"Then why do you want me to eat..."
The half-immortal sneered: "Haha, silly boy, I am saving you. Someone pulled out your parents' teeth and tongues and placed them at your door, under your pillow, or on your stove. This is an extremely vicious curse.
Not only can it trap the souls of your parents here, but it can also kill you.
He bit your three souls with your father's teeth, sucked your five souls with your mother's tongue, and your souls left your body, leaving only empty shells."
I pondered for a moment and asked tentatively: "Is it Huang Jiaxian?"
"..."
"Is it the strange old man?"
"..."
"Is she Gong Yiyu's mother?"
"..."
The half-immortal remained silent and kept a cold expression.
He suddenly came close to my ear, and his breath was so hot, it made my ears itch.
This was different from the intense affection Gong Yiyu and I had when we bit our ears, but a deep, strange, and indescribable tingling.
This itch spread all the way to my heart, making my teeth ache and my back feel cold.
He said: "How do you know it's not me?"
A familiar feeling of fear invaded me. I couldn't help but choke his neck and asked loudly: "What do you want?!"
He still looked at me indifferently, without any fear in his expression, as if he was sure that I would not do anything harsh.
"just kidding with you."
joke?
joke!
Ever since I met him, he seems to have been playing this kind of unfunny joke on me!
Is he testing my patience and bottom line?
I had nowhere to vent my anger, so I smiled perversely, rolled my eyes upwards, stared into his eyes and said: "Both my parents are dead and I have nothing to worry about. I don't know what I will do if I get really angry."
Know.
You helped me suppress evil spirits, but you also cost my parents forty years of life. I don't owe you anything, and my parents don't owe you either.
If you eat a pot of my mutton, you should do something for me! Otherwise, you can try and see which one of us has the tougher life!"
I stared at him fiercely, with a ferocious expression and the corners of my mouth turned downward.
His expression finally changed, and it was no longer that indifferent look. The dense scars could not block his solemn look, and the strange pupils behind his white membrane were a little more cautious.
Chapter completed!
