Chapter 29: Chen Jin Saved
Chen Jin's body, no signs of ossification, soft as if thin mud living into a human child, the bones of the body broken. Under the strong Jiao's claw that exerted all its strength, how could a normal person withstand it? Even if the jiao was already exhausted after the duel with the old wangbaoshen, even if the jiao was already wounded, whether it is seriously injured do not know ……
We helped Chen Jin s body up, Xue Zhigang was behind Chen Jin, letting Chen Jin s limp body lean against his broad chest, and I gently held Chen Jin s face, letting him raise slightly and pinching open his mouth.
Hu Laoshi picked up the bowl, and with a spoon, little by little, he slowly poured the bowl of paste that had been made from the old taiyou s spirit core living into Chen Jin s mouth, little by little ……
The room was quiet, only when we gently stroked Chen Jin's soft blood-stained chest, the porridge slid into his esophagus out of a weak low gurgling sound.
A bowl of perverted porridge was finally poured into Chen Jin's belly, how long it took, none of us know. Just feel that time is so long, so long, so slow, so slow, we can't wait to plow open Chen Jin's stomach to the bowl of congee all dumped into his stomach, so that the congee hurry to wave its magical effect, so that Chen Jin, hurry to wake up, good up.
But we are still apprehensive, a body with countless broken bones, and even broken people, an internal injury do not know how serious, has no breathing no heartbeat dead people, can live over?
We have no idea in our hearts, really still in despair, but we still pray in our hearts, try to comfort ourselves, remind ourselves, do not despair, the old woman's spirit core, will work, Chen Jin will wake up, will get well.
Chen Lockzhu's two families came running in the heavy rain, they just learned of the news. It was when we were feeding Chen Jin and swallowing the porridge, my second uncle went to tell Chen Lockzhu. The second uncle thinks that this kind of thing, always have to tell people Chen lockzhu in advance, not too late, late, in case the old woman's spirit core does not work, then that would be too sorry for people Chen lockzhu two families.
Chen Jin was still lying quietly on the single bed that was full of mud and blood spots.
Hu Laoshi is sitting on the bed, leaning on the small table, one hand on the forehead, eyes closed, he seems to be thinking about something, but also like fatigue fell asleep.
Chen Jinniang did not say a word soaking wet, she almost frantically rushed into the house, but not a little sound, she did not tear her heart and lungs crying, so violently rushed into the house, stood in the doorway, soaked with rainwater down the soaked corners of the pants and legs, feet in a short time will be wet a large piece.
She stayed, at a distance of three meters from the place where Chen Jin was lying, quietly staring at her son without a trace of life.
Several of us hurriedly leaned to the sides, making a place more than two meters wide, so that Chen Jinniang could clearly and completely see her son.
Chen Jinniang finally lifted her steps and slowly walked towards the bedside.
Chen Lockzhu took a big step in, pulling Chen Jinniang with him, but he didn't know what to say. Chen Jinniang turned her head, her eyes numbly looking at her husband, as if to say, "What are you pulling me for? I'm going to see my son, I won't go and fight with people, I won't disgrace you ……"
Chen Lockzhu with tears in his eyes, strong man forced to not let the tears out of his eyes, he helplessly, painfully nodded, assisted his body has been completely soft almost fell to his knees on the ground of his wife, slowly walked to the front of the bed. Chen Jinniang fell to her knees, sat down softly, leaned on the edge of the bed, quietly looking at her son lying on the bed.
"Uncle, aunt ……" I sobbed and choked, "Hu Laoshi fed Jinzi the spirit nucleus of the old taiyang, Jinzi will not be fine, he will get better."
"Hmm?" The two families looked at me, Chen Lockzhu's eyes were immediately filled with hope, of course, with skepticism; Chen Jinniang's eyes were still numb, as if she hadn't even heard what I said.
Second uncle came to the front, whispered to console: "Sister-in-law, if you want to cry, cry out, don't give your body, suffocated ah!"
"Yes, his mother, you cry!" Chen Lockzhu reacted, he could no longer help but let the tears flow out of his eyes, and his voice choked up.
Chen Jinniang's numb eyes, one by one, swept through the house of the people, and finally fell on his son's face that has been wiped clean, pale cheeks, slightly closed eyes, grayish white lips children …… Chen Jinniang's numb face and numb eyes, finally began to twitch, trembling, she wow cried out, followed by a sound that Shattered the roof: "son ah!" The long trailing voice and the mournful wail full of grief, through the roof, through the wall, penetrating everything …… drilled into the pouring rain outside, into the low thick clouds, straight to the heavens, shocking the nine heavens ……
All the people in the house stood in a drooping position, even Hu Laoshi, was also filled with the despair of the mournful grief of the whistling sound, was shocked to stand up, full of fear and trembling, do not know what to do.
The cries continued, the cries continued, Chen Jinniang continued to cry, constantly wailing out a shocking sound; Chen Lockzhu squatted down, covering his face with both hands, out of whimpering sobs, his shoulders constantly trembling.
The curtain lifted, Dr. Du's wife and child, slowly walked into the house, the child did not dare to say anything, carefully stood by the wall, terrified and restless watching the people in the house. Dr. Du's wife wiped her tears and walked to Chen Jinniang, squatted down, soothing, whispering, sobbing,…….
Chen Jinniang cried and cried, suddenly eyes, body violently jerked a bit, the whole person back to lie back, we a few quick eyes and hands, rushed forward to help Chen Jinniang.
The people in the room exploded with a bang, all hands and feet do not know what to do …… Dr. Du also ran over, pinching, breaking the fingers ……
Chen Jinniang woke up, and cried again, still tearing her heart and lungs, grief, still sounding mournful, suppressed the rumbling thunder outside.
Once again fainted, the house once again into panic ……
I don't know how many times Chen Jinniang cried and fainted, she was finally tired, exhausted, crying no longer able to cry, she was assisted by Liu Bin and Guo and Dr. Du's wife to another room, let her lie on the bed, resting against the quilt. Then she returned to the just came, the numb look, dull eyes fixedly staring out the window that cloudy sky and dense rain weaving rain curtain.
Hu Laoshi stood up and told us softly, don't move Chen Jin, he has to go back to get some things, after saying that, he walked out, not even take the rain gear.
We were puzzled, amazed and hesitant in the room.
Dr. Du persuaded, "Let him busy, is now sent to the hospital, I am afraid the hospital will not accept."
The room fell into extreme silence.
After a long time, the second uncle took out his cigarettes and lit two, handed one to Chen Lockzhu and smoked one himself. Second Uncle looked at us again, sighed, threw the cigarettes to me, and said, "Go, you guys go outside and smoke."
I nodded and walked outside with my brothers, stood under the eaves of the room, split the cigarettes, and my brothers all lit up. Then without saying a word, smoking a cigarette, looking at the clattering downpour, looking at the lightning that sometimes cuts through the gloom at the sky, listening to the rumbling thunder.
The eaves of the house poked forward more than a meter wide, covering the entire platform, even so, there are still a lot of rain splashed on the body of several of us, but we do not realize.
After a cigarette, Hu Laoshi came back, carrying a parcel in his hand, the parcel tightly rolled with tarpaulin, he walked toward the house without saying a word.
Several of us immediately followed into the house.
After Hu Laoshi entered the house, he took out the talisman paper, peach wood sword, copper coins, and other miscellaneous items wrapped in the oil cloth while awkwardly saying to Dr. Du, "Gotta, gotta do a spell here in your place, you see ……"
"Hey hey, you do it, what else do you need I'll get it for you." Dr. Du sighed and nodded.
This is quite a bit of irony, Taoist magic in the doctor's home to do, to be honest, Dr. Du presses the root does not believe that at this time Chen Jin, can still be saved, but he can not refuse, but also can not say these words in his heart. He can not hit so many people's psychology, can not let people down, is not it?
Hu Laoshi dragged the small table to the center of the house, and then took the big bowl, which still had some of the "porridge" stuck to it, Hu Laoshi poured some boiling water into it, and only then threw two copper coins into it. After putting the bowl down, Hu Laoshi took out a stack of talisman paper and put it on the side of the bowl, and pressed it with five copper coins, several copper coins were pressed one by one to form a string.
Very simple things, Hu Laoshi did, walked to Chen Jin's face, took out two pieces of talisman paper, muttered a few incantations, and then put one piece of talisman paper on Chen Jin's brow, and the other on Liu Bin's chest in the center.
Then, Hu Laoshi stood back in front of the small table and began to hold up his peach wood sword and recite the incantation ……
We stood by the wall, a little farther away from Hu Laoshi, fearing that we would disturb his spell and delay him from saving Chen Jin.
As Hu Lao Si recited the incantation, the mahogany sword in his hand began to pull out various sword blossoms, and then the sword pierced the copper coins, glued on the talisman paper, and waved it in the air. As Hu Lao Si's mouth kept shouting loudly and reciting incantations in a low voice, the coins flashed brightly, and the talisman paper burned one after another, but the burning of these talisman paper would not ignite anything else, for example, the talisman paper on Chen Jin's eyebrows would not burn Chen Jin's skin or ignite his head, and the talisman paper on his chest would not cause his skin to be burned either.
It was not until this time that I began to pay serious attention to Chen Jin's body, and then I saw a scene that surprised me, delighted me, and made me believe even more that Chen Jin could come back to life.
Just see that Chen Jin's belly, constantly to the body around the outflow of a strand of layer by layer, oh, just like the ripples in the water like the lines, layers and layers of waves and waves, but these lines, but colorful, colorful, exceptionally bright …… If compared to a rainbow, then these lines than the rainbow is more beautiful, but also colorful. If you don't use a rainbow as a metaphor, then what would be more appropriate?
His entire body, then, was encompassed by this flowing light and color, as if it was a cloth formed by a rainbow that rolled Chen Jin in it.
This is really, really metaphysical, marvelous, and …… bizarre.
Just all this is real born in front of their eyes, I can not help but think of the old age of the old man, that whole day disguised as a kind old man in front of us, and we talk to us eloquently, singing to the wine, the whole night the whole night with us gossiping, tell us the previous many, many stories …… He for us, for the village, pay the memory of the Paid millions of years of life, and now …… its spiritual core without a trace of sentience, but again to be helplessly taken out by us, used to save the life of Chen Jin.
I suddenly have some regrets, some contradictions, if the time rewind to a few hours ago, I will still not hesitate to choose, with the spirit core of the old taiyang to save Chen Jin?
The problem is, at that time, including Hu Laoshi, we did not have any certainty that the old woman's spirit core would be able to save Chen Jin!
Hu Lao Si put down the peach wood sword in his hand, and the talisman paper stopped burning and turned into ashes. He began to use his hands to form all kinds of different gestures, his mouth muttering and gestures changing …… I saw countless oddly shaped things glittering with bizarre colors, constantly entering into Chen Jin's body, and then floating out from Chen Jin's body, flying in the air and gradually disappearing.
After a long time, Hu Laoshi's body has been obviously tired, his movements slow, clumsy, forehead is full of large drops of sweat beads, is that the back of the hand, but also began to emerge layers of sweat beads, wrists, chin, beads of sweat from the two dripping on the ground, the ground wet ……
But Hu Laoshi did not stop, his wrinkled face, the muscles of his cheeks were twitching.
Then I saw a faint silhouette, floating from the window, from behind the dense curtain of rain, from the gloomy sky, drifting in, drilling into Chen Jin s body.
I was taken aback, and due to the quickness with which I spent it, I didn't even see what the silhouette actually was, it just felt like a person.
Then, another silhouette pierced through the wall, passed through the bodies of the people, floated and flew to the front of the bed, reunited with Chen Jin's body, and fused into one.
Another …… another ……
I finally saw clearly, that one of the faint shadows, from the roof, from the window, from the wall, and even from the ground drilling out, all of them are Chen Jin s shadow …… Oh, to be exact, it is Chen Jin s soul, people say that there are three souls and seven vampires, is it really so?
I think, it must be so.
I know, the house in addition to me and Hu Lao Si, no one can see these strange things happen, oh, my second uncle must be able to see it? If Chen Jin was awake, he would be able to see it as well, right?
Streams of light and color are still around Chen Jin's body, constantly flowing, clear lines, wave after wave, I watched in a daze, the hope in my heart, is also getting bigger and bigger, more and more sufficient, I know, Chen Jin is alive, Chen Jin is saved!
Hu Laoshi closed his momentum, stopped, took a deep breath, but suddenly his body went limp and fell to the ground, the people in the room rushed forward to help Hu Laoshi. It was at this moment that I came back from my trance, seeing that everyone else came forward to help Hu Lao Si up and let him sit on the chair, I no longer go over there to squeeze.
I walked to the front of the bed, and softly called, "Jinzi, Jinzi, Chen Jin ……" Yes, after coming back to my senses, I can no longer see the stream of light and color, and the Chen Jin I see, there is no longer anything surrounding him.
The difference is that Chen Jin's chest, that original several collapsed, all bulged up, no traces of depression, back to normal; his face, is no longer pale dead color, but …… flooded with a layer of light, light to not look carefully at all can not see the red; his lips, but also restored, with a blood color, not Like the previous that gray green ……
"Jin Zi ……" my voice trembled a little, I can not help big drops of tears came out of the sockets, dripping on Chen Jin's cheeks, neck, chest …… I know that he was really saved, alive! Resurrected after death!
Everyone else in the room, who had turned their heads to look at me crying there, also saw the change in Chen Jin. Yes, even though the subtle change in the skin made it impossible to see without looking closely, but even so, Chen Jin looked, still, different from before.
Hu Laoshi's eyes were half-open as he watched me sit on the edge of the bed and cry, watching my tears drip down onto Chen Jin's body, face, and neck.
I realized that everyone was looking at Chen Jin and I, I hurriedly raised my hand to wipe away the tears at the corner of my eyes, trying to hold back my tears, big man, why cry? Shame on you! Besides, hasn't Chen Jin already been saved? Even his chest, still no rise and fall ……
That is, the moment I wiped away my tears with my hand, when my hand left and lowered again, I saw Chen Jin's eyes had half-opened, I was shocked and surprised, he really woke up! Sure enough, he woke up!
The corners of Chen Jin's mouth grinned, strained, a weak voice rang out, "Fucking Yin Le, you're even crying, I despise you."
My tears gushed out from from my eyes again, it was like the flood that broke the dike, I couldn't put it back, my cries rang out loudly, and everyone else in the room couldn't help but shed tears of joy as well.
Yes, Chen Jin had awakened and was alive! All the people shed tears, tears of joy.
Then Chen Lockzhu's thunderous voice resounded in the room: "Jinzi's mother, our son is alive! He's alive! Haha ……"
"Mom, am I dead?" Chen Jin surprised to look at his father, and surprised to look at the room full of people.
Chen Jinniang rushed over from the other room, still as crazy as when she first came, as fast as …… she rushed to the house, once again as when she first came that stood still, only this time it was no longer numb, but full of doubt, surprise, elation, excitement …… and so on and so forth. In short, when she finally saw her son turned his head, straining to punch her faint smile, Chen Jinniang this is crazy like a mournful cry out: "my son ah!" Then pounced to the bedside, knocked me to one side, and she suddenly stopped, did not dare to touch Chen Jin, for fear of touching Chen Jin, she just murmured vigorously: "Xiao Jin, Jin Zi, my son ah, you can finally live, you really live ……"
I was hit and sat on my butt, grinned and heatedly laughed, then cried again ……
Everyone else in the room also wept with a relieved smile.
Dr. Du's wife and children also ran in, and like Dr. Du, all showed incredulous expressions, jaws staring at Chen Jin, the pale and weak young man, who was struggling to comfort his mother, and from time to time would also look at the other people in the room full of doubt.
Outside the window suddenly bright, bright as day, bright piercing the eyes, a lightning bolt cut through the sky, struck the carving of the big elm tree outside the courtyard wall, clicked and rumbled! The big elm tree fell down, and the rushing fire flared up.
"Rumble …… click click click!" The thunder shook, shaking the windows of a few children's glass shattered, clattering and bamming, shattering all over the place. The entire ground of the entire house trembled, seemingly ready to collapse at any moment.
The people in the house were unsteady on their feet, their bodies swaying as they involuntarily hit the wall and held onto it.
Chen Jinniang and Chen Jin, both of them, slipped off the bed and fell to the ground. A group of us rushed over to help them up.
Surprised and worried voices clamored through the house!
"Jiao!" I got up from the ground and involuntarily shouted out such a word, yes, the first thing that came to my mind at that moment was that the auger had come! It's old revenge on us!
The people in the room all stopped talking and stared blankly out the window.
Outside the window, electricity flashed and thunder roared, and the rain poured down. The large tree that had been struck by lightning and the fire that had been lit was extinguished by the rain in an instant.
My second uncle took a few steps to the door, lifted the curtain and walked under the eaves of the courtyard, and roared at the sky that was as gloomy as ink and splashed with rainwater: "What is it? Come out, have the guts to roll out for me! Come and have a fight with me!" The sound of thunder, roar ear-shattering, hard to suppress the rolling thunder, is that lightning, also dare not show their heads in the near, just in the distant sky, transformed into a small silver snake, wandering in the gloomy as ink in the sky.
Inside the house, everyone set up the bed with seven hands and eight feet, lifted Chen Jin to the bed, and then looked outside with fear and anxiety.
Second Uncle walked in from outside and said in a muffled voice, "Don't panic, there's nothing, they're just scaring themselves."
The people in the room were surprised and amazed, no one said anything.
The second uncle walked to Hu Laoshi and said, "Hu …… Uncle, Jinzi this child, how is it? Do you want to send it to the hospital again to see?"
"Huh?" Hu Laoshi raised his head, then smiled awkwardly and feebly, his eyes skimming Dr. Du.
Yes, in this room, only the other Dr. Du was the most qualified to check if Chen Jin's physical condition was good.
Dr. Du hurriedly came over, checked Chen Jin s body, rolled Chen Jin s eyes and face, and whispered and asked a few more questions before muttering to himself and turning his head to us, "It looks like nothing is wrong, it s just a weak body, but …… it s best to, still, go to the hospital to check it out , do a fluoroscopy."
"Then hurry to go, go, Yinle, a few of you carry Chen Jin." The second uncle beckoned, and the few of us immediately surrounded it.
Hu Laoshi said, "Forget it, there's no need to go."
Everyone then looked at Hu Lao Si with puzzled faces.
Hu Lao Si sighed and said, "The soul has been recruited back, returned to its place, and the injuries have been cured by the spiritual power of the Tai Sui Spirit Core, and now the body is weak, but it needs to nourish the soul and solidify the spirit, and there is a seven or eight days, and it will be okay."
Everyone was all silent and surprised, as if they didn't know each other looking at Hu Laoshi.
"What? Don't believe me?" Hu Lao Si asked with a helpless bitter smile.
"Believe!" Chen Lockzhu suddenly said.
My second uncle smiled and said, "Then carry him back and nurse him for a few days."
Several of us immediately nodded, Dr. Du's wife rushed to the hall to bring umbrellas and ponchos, several of us handily lifted Chen Jin to go outside, Chen Lockzhu simply said, "Come on, messy, let me carry it!"
We all thought yes, so many people lifting Chen Jin, it's better to be carried by one person. The problem was that several of us young people had long been exhausted, so we had to let Chen Lockzhu carry Chen Jin.
Braving the heavy rain, the crowd gathered around Chen Lockzhu and Chen Jin, holding umbrellas, supporting the support, stepping on the muddy road toward Chen Jin's home.
The rain got heavier and heavier, without the slightest sign of stopping, and in the distant gloomy sky, the silver snake-like lightning was still roaming around, and the thunder rumbled and resounded.
This year's rainy season, finally came ……
