Chapter 59: He is about to wake up
Li Zhou followed the high school students to a school. There was a line of large characters written in a flamboyant style at the school gate:
【Donghai No.1 Senior High School】
Before she had time to think, her body's memory had already told her where to go.
【Zhiyuan Building】
[Class 6, Grade 3]
"Jingzhen!"
As soon as she reached the door, a girl from the back row of the classroom waved. Li Zhou was smart and knew that she was calling her, so she ran over quickly.
"Hmm."
The girl quickly stuffed a piece of black stuff into Li Zhou's slightly opened mouth. It tasted a bit bitter at first, but then became a rich and mellow sweetness.
tasty.
tasty!
Li Zhou understood the meaning of words such as "delicious", "yummy", and "sweet" in Xue Jingzhen's mind.
The girl looked at her wide eyes and chuckled. Just as she was about to say something, she caught a glimpse of a figure behind her and quickly pushed her: "Go back to your seat."
"What?"
Li Zhou was a little confused, and then he heard a stern voice: "Xue Jingzhen, why are you not sitting in your seat during the morning reading class? Why are you wandering around?"
Li Zhou shrank his neck, feeling a sudden fear for no reason. He turned his head and glanced at the woman with short red curly hair standing at the door with her arms folded, then quickly walked back to the "seat" in his memory.
Morning reading means taking out English or Chinese textbooks and memorizing words and texts.
After taking out the book, Li Zhou began to read it carefully under the woman's gaze.
"Hey," her deskmate poked her elbow, and when she turned her head, he whispered, "You're holding it upside down!"
Li Zhou said, "Yes, I got the book."
Deskmate: “…”
Her deskmate reached out and turned the textbook in her hand upside down: "This one is upside down!"
Li Zhou didn't know why she was going back and forth, so he turned around and continued to read seriously.
The title of this page is "Knowing the North", and she reads aloud, shaking her head:
"When you have no thoughts and no worries, you will know; when you have no place and no clothes, you will be at peace with the Tao; when you have no origin and no way, you will obtain the Tao."
In the stagnant water with dead branches and rotten leaves floating on it, the sleeping baby seemed to have a nightmare, with its tentacles flapping and squirming restlessly and making non-stop "chirping" sounds.
Yue Niang finally broke free from the obstruction of Master Chen and Li Sheng, jumped into the waist-deep sewage, waded through the water, and struggled to get closer to her child.
Without thinking, Li Sheng followed closely and jumped into the cold water.
Li Dalang also wanted to follow, but Master Lechen quickly grabbed him by the collar, wrapped him in her cassock, and gently tossed him aside.
There is no hope for this family.
Master Liaochen shook her head and recited a spell quickly, and a golden halo appeared behind her.
Just as she was about to use her magical powers to fight to the death, Yue Niang, who was rushing to her daughter's side, suddenly said, "Zhu'er, come to me. I will ask your father to buy you another watermelon."
Li Sheng agreed tremblingly: "Yes, yes, Dad will go buy watermelons later."
I don’t know if it was a coincidence, but after Yue Niang finished speaking, the tentacles that were entangled and squeezing each other actually gradually calmed down.
The disturbing murmurs also became much quieter.
Master Liaochen looked at the sleeping baby's face in surprise and started to calculate again. Could the sign of destruction she just felt be false?
Outside the He's residence, the young men who were pushed out of the door and rolled down in the low-lying area climbed out of the blood, shuddered, and realized what had happened belatedly, and ran home like crazy.
"Mother!" "Grandpa!" "Grandma!"
The young men stared at the corpse on the ground with bloodshot eyes, their backs began to bend again, their fingers stretched out again, and the expressions on their faces became dazed.
Click, click…
Someone's spine made a sound of being stretched to the limit, but he revealed a satisfied smile as if he could die at the end of the day after hearing the truth: "Taishang... Hunyuan..."
They murmured, "...In the beginning...Chaos..."
"...Taiyi...Shenzhen..."
The elders, whose foreheads had already touched the ground, began to bleed from their ears, fragments of their internal organs flowed out of their noses, their skin cracked, and their blood vessels broke when they heard this horrible, forbidden title coming from outer space.
“Ah…Ah…Ah…Ah…”
The elders screamed, and with the last of their spiritual strength, they clenched their long and thin fingers, controlled the blood on the ground, used the water as a whip, and once again pushed the hunched young men out of the gate and into the low-lying area.
The young men rolled in the blood, their bulging eyes desperately looking up at the sky, and shouted for the last time: "Taishang Hunyuan... Taichu Hunchun... Taiyi Shenzhen... Taishi... Tianzun!"
"Walk……"
Click, click...
In the He family mansion, the breath of life gradually disappeared, and the last words that were heard were:
"Stay away from the sky..."
"Ding-ling-ling... Ding-ling-ling..."
"It's time for dinner!"
The high school students, who had been hungry for the whole morning, rushed to the cafeteria, crying and yelling like a group of piglets.
Li Zhou was dragged forward by two girls on either side, without saying a word: "Run faster, run faster, if you slow down, you will only be left with slop that even dogs won't eat."
Li Zhou was getting anxious because of what they said. She moved her feet as fast as she could. Seeing tall people passing her one after another, she couldn't help but complain in her mind: "Xue Jingzhen, you don't have enough legs. If I had my own legs, I would definitely be able to outrun them."
Her mind was silent and no one answered her.
Li Zhou was stunned, then she remembered that Xue Jingzhen lent her his body, and now she was Xue Jingzhen.
So where did Jingzhen go?
Li Zhou, who had not yet learned the word "death", confused himself with his question.
While she was thinking hard, she was dragged hard by her two generals on her left and right, squeezed into the cafeteria, and joined the queue for food.
The aroma of rice filled his nose. Li Zhou tilted his head back and sniffed it. His stomach began to growl.
She touched her stomach and said solemnly, "I'm hungry."
Being hungry is really a terrible thing.
This feeling was so uncomfortable that Li Zhou felt dizzy and couldn't even stand.
"Why are you so dull today?" The girl in front of her left waved her meal card. The name written on the meal card was "Xie Lingwei". Xie Lingwei leaned over and said to the girl in front of her right, "She was caught by the head teacher during the morning reading class. I reminded her to go back to her seat quickly."
The girl in the front right has her meal card hanging around her neck, which sways gently as she turns her head. Her name consists of only two characters: "Tan Zhao".
Tan Zhao said, "I saw it too. Jingzhen, did you study too late last night? You seemed calm on the surface, but you were secretly making trouble behind my back!"
Li Zhou looked at Xie Lingwei, then at Tan Zhao, and asked seriously, "What is a roll? Can you eat it?"
Tan Zhao: "..."
Xie Lingwei laughed and said, "That's right, what the hell, can you eat it?"
They both thought Li Zhou was joking and were wondering how she could look so serious. Little did they know that Li Zhou really wanted to know.
The line moved quickly and soon it was the turn of three people. Li Zhou followed the example of Xie Lingwei and Tan Zhao and pointed at the dishes he wanted to eat with his fingers, ordering five dishes in one go.
When the aunt returned the plate to her, she looked suspicious and said, "Student, don't waste it."
Li Zhou pointed at the plate and said, "There are only five holes, so you can only put five dishes in it."
If each person could only take one plate, she wouldn't have left so many other dishes without a chance to come in.
Aunt:"……"
Li Zhou picked up the plate and left. Auntie quickly said, "Wait, classmate, you forgot to swipe your card."
Oh yes, others took the things with their names written on them and dropped them before leaving.
Li Zhou was called back and searched for a long time, but couldn't figure out why he didn't have that thing.
"Did you forget to bring your meal card?" Xie Lingwei, who had returned, took out her own meal card and tapped it for her. "Hurry up, hurry up, there won't be any seats left later."
Li Zhou nodded, followed Xie Lingwei to get the free soup and rice, and walked towards Tan Zhao who had taken a good seat.
Tan Zhao was stunned when he saw Li Zhou holding a full plate in his left hand and a soup bowl and a rice bowl in his right hand.
This is something that five human fingers can do?
"What's wrong?" Xie Lingwei saw her expression and turned to look at Li Zhou. At this time, Li Zhou had put down what he was holding and was ready to sit down.
Isn't this normal?
Li Zhou felt two pairs of eyes staring at him. He stretched out his left hand and pulled the exceptionally sumptuous plate of food towards himself.
"If you don't have enough food, you can buy more." She suggested sincerely. She felt that these two people were not as smart as her. They didn't know to fill the plates all at once, and actually wasted two holes for the soup bowl and rice bowl respectively.
People have two hands.
Tan Zhao came back to his senses and met Xie Lingwei's questioning gaze. He opened his mouth and then closed it again: "Nothing."
Although this was Li Zhou's first time eating, she was very skilled in using chopsticks. If Jingzhen only had five fingers on her hand, she would be even more skilled.
She imitated Xie Lingwei and Tan Zhao, eating a mouthful of rice with a bite of braised pork, then another mouthful of rice and another bite of a chicken leg. In a short while, she had finished a large bowl of bulging rice and a large plate of vegetables.
When they looked up, they saw that the dinner plates, rice bowls and soup bowls in front of her were all as clean as if they had been washed, and were mirror-clear.
Xie Lingwei yelled, "Why are you eating like my newly brought-home puppy? You don't even have to wash the dishes."
Tan Zhao pulled her sleeve and said, "Keep your voice down. People are looking at Li Zhou."
Li Zhou, who was still licking the spoon, said, "What did you call me?"
Tan Zhao looked at her and said, "How come you even forgot your name? Your name is Xue Jingzhen."
Xie Lingwei nodded in agreement: "That's right, Li Zhou, you can even forget this."
Li Zhou blinked and suddenly felt a little itchy on the top of his head, as if there was a crack and something was trying to get out.
Overlapping one after another, as if a voice from the distant future came into her ears: "Taishang... Hunyuan..."
Another clear voice, the sound of her reciting her text in the morning, quickly interrupted the overlapping recitations.
"When you have no thoughts and no worries, you will know; when you have no place and no clothes, you will be at peace with the Tao; when you have no origin and no way, you will obtain the Tao."
Li Zhou put down his hand that was tickling him and said to Xie Lingwei and Tan Zhao, "Of course I know what my name is. My name is Xue Jingzhen now."
The two nodded: "Yes, you are Xue Jingzhen, our good friend."
"The watermelons are coming, the watermelons are coming!"
In Li's mansion, Li Sheng carried a bamboo basket on his head and waded to the bottom of the wooden ladder. Yue Niang, who was sitting astride the ladder, bent down, took out a piece of cut watermelon, and handed it to the mouth of the baby's head that was supported by the tentacles.
"Zhu'er, it's time to eat watermelon."
Master Liaochen stared at the sleeping baby, and a golden halo was looming behind her.
The baby tilted his head, opened his mouth, and took the watermelon in one bite. He finished it in a short while. A few drops of bright red watermelon juice flowed down the corners of his mouth, which looked like blood.
Although she hadn't woken up yet, the tentacles under her had completely calmed down.
Nun Liaochen's heart was pounding and her palms were sweaty. This was a huge gamble, but if she wanted to keep the people of Fujiao City and even the entire Chizhou alive, she had no choice but to take the gamble.
The rain had stopped long ago, but ripples suddenly appeared on the water surface again, and the faint whispers came closer again.
"it's useless……"
Something was hiding under the water, muttering, "He's about to wake up..."
"Really... awake..."
