Chapter 58
"Zhou Du, choose a scripture and teach me to read it."
Zhou Du looked at him, then moved his gaze back to the illusion, but recited the scriptures word by word, asking Li Yang to follow.
There were people selling sugar cane under the tree opposite my uncle's house, so some adults took out wooden benches from home and sat under the tree, chewing sugar cane and chatting. When they saw the child at the door of Li's house staring at them, they laughed and said, "Isn't his father a well-known scoundrel in our town? He went out alone at the age of 18 and came back with nothing but ashes. I heard that his mother from another province had already found another husband, but she was worried that he had a burden, so she sent the child to the countryside."
There is a lot of gossip about the Li family in the town, but if you listen carefully, every word is full of mistakes and omissions.
"Heard? Did you hear your father say that at his grave?" Wu Qian is even more irritable than Lu Xiaoguo.
Li Yang's mother only came back to town once, just to send Li Yang back. Just once, they didn't know each other. Who told you that? Could it be that your father, whose grave is covered with grass three meters high, told you in a dream?
What these old men did next was even more disgusting.
An old man called Li Yang over.
Li Yang was a very submissive child, and he would let things go if asked to.
The old man spat out the sugarcane residue after chewing it dry and gave it to him: "Uncle, please have some. It's sweet."
Children are easy to trust people. Once something is served, they will put it in their mouths.
A very insulting prank.
"You are a scumbag of my father, and you are even trying to pick on my child!" Wu Qian didn't expect that she would have to embarrass herself every time she entered a fantasy world. She thought it was a deliberate distortion by the evil spirit, just like what happened to Master Yuanzheng and Lu Xiaoyou.
As a result, the illusion shook violently, even more violently than her outburst.
Wu Qian and Lu Xiaoguo supported each other, "...Why do I feel like it's angry too?"
"Could it be that this demon likes cute babies? But I was also very cute when I was a child!" Why has he never treated her like this!
An old woman rushed out holding a broom and started cursing and beating several old men. In the chaos, the child was holding the sugarcane residue and forgot to eat it.
She chased the old men away with their chairs, and she didn't dare to fight back or talk back. After all, she was the only fairy in the surrounding villages. Who wouldn't look for her when choosing an auspicious date for a wedding or funeral, or when the children or the elderly at home had some headaches?
The old woman led the way with a broom, came to the child, touched him, touched his cheek, then accurately touched the hand next to his mouth, snatched the sugarcane residue and threw it away.
The two girls then realized that the old woman's sharp eyes were now hollow.
She is a blind witch.
"You can't eat what they give you." The old woman led the child into her house, which was diagonally opposite the Li family.
The old woman brought him warm food, and Li Yang always remembered the taste of that meal.
It seems that the first memory and impression of my life started from this meal.
The child took a bite, his eyes lit up, and he ate quickly with the spoon.
"If you want to eat in the future, come to me." My mother-in-law's hands were loose and wrinkled, but very warm.
Afterwards, several kind-hearted neighbors near Li’s home would invite Li Yang to their homes for meals.
But more often than not, the child still sits on the small bench at the door, waiting for his mother.
The children in the small town loved to gather in groups to play with cats and dogs, and soon they attracted many children.
Li Yang wasn't someone who would fight at the beginning.
The first time, it was a slap, leaving a red mark on her fair face. My uncle came home drunk and just glanced at him lightly, told him to fight back next time, and went to bed.
The second time, the child was pushed to the ground and was punched and kicked. He didn't fight back, but he didn't cry either.
After the group of children dispersed, the old woman leaned on her walking stick and asked him, "Why don't you fight back?"
"They have a father and a mother," said the child.
When he was younger, he was bullied and couldn't win even if he fought back. Not only was it painful, but he was also scolded by the adults on the other side who stood up for the other child. When he got home, his mother scolded him for being the same as his father.
After experiencing this a few more times, the children will naturally figure out the pattern: they have a father and a mother, and they are not afraid of fighting because their father and mother will stand up for them and feel sorry for them whether they win or lose.
He doesn't even have his mother around now.
The child doesn’t understand what inferiority and sadness are, it’s just… he doesn’t know what to do.
But the mother-in-law said, "You have nothing, so you have to fight back."
"Does it hurt?" asked the mother-in-law.
Li Yang blinked her round peach blossom eyes from childhood and said, "It hurts."
"It will hurt even if you don't fight back. From now on, hit back hard. If it hurts you, you must make the other person feel more pain. No matter how much blood you bleed, you can't stop as long as the other person isn't bleeding."
The child nodded ignorantly and kept his grandmother's words in mind.
The grandmother cooked an egg, and the child peeled the shell and was about to eat it. The grandmother taught him: "Put it on the painful area and roll it around."
The child rolled eggs on the bruised areas on his face, hands and feet. After a few hits, the pain really didn't happen anymore.
In the third episode, the child ignorantly did what his grandmother said. No one expected that a child who was not even five years old could use a brick to hit the eight-year-old leader and make him bleed. He really dared to do such a cruel thing.
Later, the child became famous for his fierce fighting. The word "fighting" was a constant throughout his childhood and his tall and thin teenage years. Children within a radius of eight miles were afraid of him when they saw him.
Those neighbors never invited him to dinner again.
Only the blind grandmother would weave a bracelet with red rope every year and give it to him to wear.
When Zhou Du and others saw Li Yang in high school, the illusion was broken by Li Yang's scriptures.
After watching two life scenes that seemed like a revolving lantern, Wu Qian felt as melancholy as if she had just woken up from a dream.
But Lu Xiaoguo discovered: "Why doesn't Xiao Li have those messy things?!"
This demon always treats people differently based on their appearance.
Li Yang was thinking about how to find the missing students when the four of them suddenly began to fall, as if they had fallen into hundreds of layers of space, and finally landed on solid ground.
When the four of them steadied themselves and looked again, they were already in a school playground. Hysterical and extremely terrifying screams came from the three-story teaching building in front of them.
Crowded figures were fleeing and chasing each other, and it was unclear who was human and who was not.
There are seven white plaques hanging on the top of the teaching building, with the words "Liangshui Village Moral Education Primary School" written on them.
There is a stone next to the podium on the playground with the words engraved in red paint: Donated by Mr. Li Manquan in 2002.
Li Yang rushed into the teaching building, activated his magic formula, the silver chain on his left wrist collided, and the Flowing Light Umbrella condensed in his hand.
The three followed.
On the second floor, Li Yang finally saw what was chasing the students.
The students wearing the uniform of Deyu Primary School were about 1.411 meters tall, but had no facial features and their faces were just a fuzzy mass of flesh. They could be identified by their hair, and there were both boys and girls.
Li Yang didn't open the streamer umbrella, but just used it as a baseball bat and swung it at the head of one of the monsters.
The student dodged strangely, glanced at Li Yang with his eyeless face, then went around him to chase Lu Xiaoguo.
Lu Xiaoguo:?
The moment I turned around and ran, I realized: It’s not about favoring others, but the love from the monster!
Wu Qian, Lu Xiaoguo and Zhou Du were entangled. Lu Xiaoguo just ran away because she had no self-defense or attack skills. Wu Qian chased Lu Xiaoguo, but was also chased by the monster and could only use her skills while running.
Zhou Du was still in the same place, punished by talisman paper.
Li Yang was a little confused.
A normal...but not quite normal student ran towards him, his face distorted by continuous shock.
Li Yang grabbed his arm, threw him against the wall outside the corridor, and said, "Calm down. If you want to live, listen to me."
The student swallowed.
He didn't know whether it was the warmth that was transmitted from his arm to his heart and brain, or the firm look in the eyes of the young man in front of him that made him trust him, but in any case he really calmed down, although his face was still twitching slightly.
"Crazy, all crazy!!" He only said this to Li Yang.
Li Yang drew a Taoist talisman in the air and poured it into his Yin Tang Xue.
Finally, my breathing gradually calmed down.
Li Yang asked him: "What's going on? Explain it briefly."
The student's breathing became rapid again, because it seemed that he was not given a chance to speak - three faceless elementary school students stood three or four meters away and looked at him... but it seemed that they wanted him to speak again? They didn't come up.
So he said quickly: "He asked us to kill twenty people. If we kill twenty people, we can leave here, but if we kill twenty people, we will become this faceless monster!"
Li Yang frowned, but two people really escaped.
Just crazy.
But, “he”?
Has a clear reference.
"Who is he? Do you know him?"
"It's Li Minyao! He died and turned into a ghost to seek revenge! I shouldn't... I shouldn't... I'm sorry! I'm sorry! I beg you to let me go!" The student became a little crazy again. He struggled out of Li Yang's relaxed hands, knelt down and kowtowed to the three elementary school students, painfully repenting.
When Li Yang heard the name, he was distracted for a moment, his expression unchanged. He pulled the student up again and asked, "What did you do to him?"
"I didn't do anything. I didn't do anything. It was Liu Wenjie and his group... Oh, yes, Liu Wenjie and his group came in too. They killed twenty people, and then turned into faceless monsters. Hahahaha!" He laughed loudly and crazily, and clapped his hands. "They deserve it! They deserve it!"
Li Yang loosened his hand, wanting Zhou Du to look at him, but when he turned around, he found that the monsters on the second floor were besieging Zhou Du. He simply walked over, and the faceless monsters immediately retreated three meters with him as the center.
It was Li Minyao who manipulated it, so it's not surprising that Li Yang did it.
But he was just a passerby who said a few words to him, but he was treated so kindly by him.
Li Yang wanted to find out what happened to Li Minyao.
Hand the students over to Zhou Du.
Since the faceless monsters are all students, Li Yang doesn't dare to hit them rashly. He can only ignore them. After all, they won't attack him actively.
"Take him and follow me." He said to Zhou Du.
Zhou Du didn't want to touch the student, so he put a Taoist talisman on him.
It's not a talisman that keeps evil spirits away, but a puppet talisman, which the kids in the Tai Chi class commonly call: an obedient talisman.
Zhou Du tried to get to the bottom of the matter: "Follow Mr. Li Yang, and the position is between me and Mr. Li Yang." A little serious.
Li Yang, with two people, swept through the floors one by one, bringing out many ordinary students from the classrooms, teachers' offices, and bathrooms, and the faceless monsters that pestered the ordinary students also followed him.
When they swept to the third floor, Lu Xiaoguo and Wu Qian joined the team, and he told them not to leave more than three meters away from him.
Lu Xiaoguo looked at this strange scene, confused.
Finally, after making sure that all the ordinary students in the teaching building and the faceless monsters were in the team, Li Yang led all the people and monsters down to the playground.
"Li Minyao, I want to talk to you."
A black evil spirit descended from the sky.
