Chapter 24: Seeing the World Clearly
"Who's coming this time?"
Meng Qingshan shone his flashlight one by one, sometimes shaking his head, sometimes nodding his head, like picking a watermelon.
Finally, he pointed at a slightly larger rabbit and said, "You're good."
The next weird thing happened again!
The other rabbits stood up violently and surrounded the slightly larger rabbit in the center, scratching and biting it, and in a moment, they actually killed that rabbit!
"Very good."
Meng Qingshan was not ambiguous, he slapped his chest and coughed out a mouthful of blood mist, the remaining rabbits cheered at the sight, their eyes emitting a red glow, greedily sucking in the blood mist, no longer paying attention to Meng Qingshan.
It was as if it was a deal!
Meng Qingshan picked up the rabbit that had been killed and walked straight out, his expression still confused as if he was sleepwalking.
This scene made Meng Fan's jaw drop, and he hurriedly disappeared out of the cave, out of the cave, and then hid, watching his father carry the rabbit out of the cave, and left the Falling Star Gully along the same path, and then he trailed behind again.
Meng Qingshan's expression was confused all the way, after going out of the range of the Falling Star Gully, he stopped on a hillside, and in the grass at his feet, he turned over a long-set wire sleeve, and strangled a head of crashed rabbits on it.
After doing all this, something strange happened again, his expression suddenly became clear, and just a moment ago, only to see him staring at the rabbit caught in the wire, a face of joy, the rabbit will be unlocked and picked up, and measured: "This one is good, big and fat, my son will definitely like to eat!"
With that, he carried the rabbit and walked towards home. It was as if he had forgotten what happened in the cave.
Meng Fan was alarmed by this scene, and subconsciously thought that his father must have been possessed, and hurriedly returned home as well.
At night, smoke curled up from Meng Qingshan's house, emitting a scent that caused the nearby neighbors to drool.
"Old Wang ah, look at other people Qingshan, can heal, and catch rabbits, eat meat every day, when will you catch one back, for my mother to quench her thirst?"
"You don't say, although it's autumn, but the grass is taller than a man, catching rabbits is not so simple, I'll ask Old Meng to see how he does it, tonight I'll go and ask for two pieces of meat for you!"
"It's not humiliating enough, you have long hands too!"
That Wang neighbors really carry a bowl over the door, see Meng Qingshan, is a number of advice, Meng Qingshan is not hidden, the set of rabbits that set, and again, and finally gave the Wang neighbors a bowl full of meat.
"Old Wang ah, next time your sister-in-law wants to eat, just come directly over, there is nothing to be embarrassed about."
"No need, no need, this is not I also learned, I set you to my home to eat."
Just so warmly chatting, sent away the neighbor surnamed Wang.
If he had seen this scene before, Meng Fan would have been all smiles, but this time his face looked bad.
He was certain that if his father continued to toss and turn like this, he would surely die!
Moreover, that rabbit, rabbit meat, would probably be problematic!
It also happened that Meng's mother encountered some problems in the cookhouse, it seemed that the pipe was blocked, so Meng Qingshan went over to look, and seeing that there was no one in the house, Meng Fan quietly sat down in front of the dining room table and studied the pot of rabbit meat.
But no matter how you look at it, there is nothing wrong with that pot of rabbit meat, it is steaming hot and fragrant, and let people can't help but want to steal a bite.
This was a bit strange.
Even Meng Fan subconsciously overlaid his true qi onto his eyes, using it to enhance his eyesight, and after observing it for a while, he didn't see any problems with the rabbit meat.
It wasn't until after his parents were seated that he finally saw the clue!
It turned out that the problem didn't lie in the rabbit meat, but in his father!
Meng Qingshan's entire body was covered in a blood-colored mist, and it looked like it had entered his body deeply.
What's even more creepy is that this blood mist can also continuously affect the people around him, spreading, some of the cage to the mother, blink of an eye will be drilled into;
There were also some that pounced on Meng Fan, but stopped twenty centimeters away from his body.
This should be because he had practiced the Heavenly Dipper God Destroying Dao Scripture, and had a natural defense against that blood qi.
This was going to harm his entire family!
Meng Fan's face bristled.
His parents were good to people and had never done anything to harm the heavens, so how did they get into this mess!
Who was behind this?
After waking up early the next day, Meng Fan wanted to stop his father from catching rabbits, but after seeing his father, he dismissed the idea because there was no need to stop him.
Father was already terminally ill and dying.
To make matters worse, the family was also running out of herbs and needed to go and acquire herbs.
But Meng Fan asked a few farmers who often provided herbs to his father, and all of them did not go digging in the past few days because they were busy with their farms, so if they went to the county to purchase them again, they were afraid that it would be too late. The mother had to give her father a bottle and hang on for dear life.
Meng Fan guarded his father's bedside, looked at his mother who was wiping her tears, suppressed the sadness in his heart, and spoke softly, "Father, tell me, recently when you went out to see the doctor, did you ever meet any strange things, or …… strange people?"
Meng Qingshan's eyelids drooped, and he shook his head breathlessly, in a very bad state.
"Then who have you gone to see?"
Meng Fan didn't want to give up any clues, must find out some clues, as long as the source is found, in order to prescribe the right medicine to save his father.
"Zhang …… Granny …… Zi ……"
"Uh-huh."
Meng Fan nodded, this matter he naturally knew, Granny Zhang had injuries on her legs, and her father had changed the medicine twice in the past, if someone had really moved, it would be hard for Granny Zhang to escape suspicion!
"Where did you put the wire set you brought back the first time?" Meng Fan held back the anger in his heart, "It's the one with the blood."
"Under the bed …… ……"
Meng Fan touched under the bed and felt out the wire ring with blood, mobilizing his true qi to take a look, he suddenly found that the wire ring also exuded blood, as did the pot of rabbit meat.
"Sure enough, it's Granny Zhang!"
This matter can be easily deduced, Zhang granny leg was wire circle hurt, fools can see, but she still denied, said she cut bamboo hurt, things must be evil, private certainly did not do good things!
I just didn't expect that Zhang's methods were so vicious!
Just because of a little injury, to harm the whole family!
This is really too much!
Meng Fan stood up, standing long, his eyes full of hatred, wishing to carry Zhang's wife over right now and kill her in front of his father!
However, seeing his father's breath withered, I'm afraid that once he turns around, it's goodbye …….
Mother is even on the side pulled his lapel, shook his head.
"Father ……"
Meng Fan sat down again and held his father's hand, which was a little rough and did a lot of rough work, and was also a little thin and weak, apparently not eating very well, and let Meng Fan's eyes moisten.
"Father, there are some things that I've always wanted to tell you, but I've never had the chance to say …… it."
Meng Fan's fingers gently drew circles in his father's palm, as if drawing a picture of his attachment to his father.
"Let's start from the night I came home, Mother, you listen too, don't be afraid to listen ……"
Meng Fan held back his tears, starting from the encounter with the traffic light, talking about the Zhang granny, talking about the paper man, talking about the dry corpse, talking about the mahogany sword, talking about the three clear bells …… all the way to the bizarre rabbits ……
"Father ……"
"There are many things in this world that are different from what we think ……"
"For example, this peach wood sword can really kill ghosts, I've killed one."
"This is the Three Clear Bells, the bell sound is very nice, only now I can't use it."
"Remember the trick I did for you last time, that wasn't a trick either, it was real."
"By the way, I can also change a big incense burner to be this big ……"
Meng Fan gesticulated, but was suddenly stunned, and a flash of ecstasy suddenly flashed across his eyes!
"Right, how did I forget such an important thing, incense burner, corpse refining burner, body refining burner, such a magical burner, I can refine it for my father's body, it might work wonders!"
With a wave of his hand, the huge furnace appeared in the center of the house, taking up a lot of space and emitting an ancient smell.
"……"
Meng Qingshan and Meng's mother froze at once, their eyes opened round, looking at that stove and then at Meng Fan, as if they were newborn babies seeing the world clearly for the first time ……
