Hit ghost

Wen Liang and Xie Jin breathed a sigh of relief after trying to fool Zhuo Ketuoda, and they closed the door gently, not daring to talk loudly about things that children shouldn't hear.

"Hold the back of his head, let me do it." Seeing that Xie Jin didn't dare to do it, Wen Liang took the initiative to take on this difficult task, "After I put the tube in, you lift his head up so that the jaw can move as far as possible Close to the chest, so as to avoid some coughing phenomenon."

"Is it really okay?" Xie Jin looked at Wen Liang's action of inserting a straw into the milk tea, and couldn't help but feel a little worried for Ji Duan, "I have also inserted a gastric tube before, and the taste is very uncomfortable."

Raising his eyebrows in surprise, Wen Liang stopped his movements and looked at Xie Jin, "Have you ever had a gastric tube inserted? That's right, you're so thin, although you're a little fatter now, it seems that you really had a good time before you met the two of us." It's too good."

Xie Jin couldn't answer, so he could only grin bitterly, and then he heard Wen Liang say, "I thought you would feel sorry for Lao Ji and couldn't do anything, so why don't you come?"

"No, it's better for you to come." Xie Jin hurriedly waved his hands, he knew that Wen Liang had a 50.00% chance of success, but if he came, the chance of success might be less than [-]%.

The two cooperated one after the other. Although Wen Liang squeezed the tube clumsily, his hands did not shake at all. Seeing the gastric tube go down Ji Duan's nasal cavity, although the comatose young man did not respond, Xie Jin looked at the tube. But a little uncomfortable.

"Xie Jin, raise his head and keep his chin as close to the chest as possible." Following Wen Liang's voice, Xie Jin felt a nauseated feeling throughout the whole process, until the tube was completely down, and after putting Ji Duan's head flat, Xie Jin finally I breathed a sigh of relief.

It's not as difficult as imagined, or Wen Liang is far more reliable than it seems.

"Okay, now Lao Ji can drink the medicine." Picking up the syringe that Zhuo Ketuoda brought with him from the table, Wen Liang took out a tube of medicine soup and injected it into the gastric tube.

Xie Jin watched Wen Liang's movements. He didn't know what he could do for Ji Duan, so he quietly went out to ask Zhuo Ketuoda for hot water and towels. After returning to the room, he sat on the bedside and warmed Ji Duan's hands and feet, trying to use This method ensures that the body temperature that is lost too quickly is no longer so cold.

Ji Duan still couldn't wake up until Dodroketuda came up to ask them to eat at [-] o'clock in the evening. Instead, He Nian woke up in the middle of dinner.

At that time, Xie Jin, Wen Liang, and Zhuo Ketuoda were huddled around the round table silently eating porridge, when there was also a muffled sound of a heavy object falling to the ground in the room on the second floor.

Zhuo Ke Tuo Da also just finished eating, so she got up to check, when she saw clearly in the dark what hit the ground, she exclaimed: "Brother Anian? You finally woke up!"

Accompanied by a few out of tune coughs, He Nian walked towards the central hall with the support of Zhuo Ketuoda. After he saw Xie Jin and Wen Liang coming towards him, a smile appeared on He Nian's weak face.

"A Nian, are you... all right?" Xie Jin went to help Zhuo Ketuoda. For some unknown reason, He Nian couldn't even walk by himself after waking up. In his current state, he couldn't rely on himself at all. The force returned here, which also confirmed their guess from the side.

Helping He Nian to sit down at the table, Xie Jin glanced at Wen Liang who didn't say anything, then turned his head to He Nian again, and asked, "What happened in the Zhao family before?"

The light in the wooden house was a bit dim, He Nian faced the window, and the night shrouded in front of him.He Nian didn't raise his hand, he didn't even look at anyone behind him, he looked up through the window to the moon covered by dark clouds, it was pitch black and he couldn't see anything.

However, there was a wind blowing into the house, which made the old-fashioned ceiling lamp sway. He Nian just stared at the light for a long time with his back turned, and then he looked away and gestured to Zhuo Ketuoda: "Xiao Lily, I'm hungry."

"Hungry? I just made porridge, so I'll serve you a bowl, just wait!" Zhuo Ketuo believed it was true, and she quickly took out a bowl from the cupboard and ran towards the downstairs kitchen "da da da da" go.

"You don't want her to worry." Wen Liang waited until the sound of Zhuo Ketuoda's footsteps disappeared at the stairs, but he didn't speak, but chose to gesture to He Nian, "You can talk now."

He Nian shook his head, he turned to face Xie Jin, and held Xie Jin's hand when Xie Jin was stunned.

"A Nian, what's the matter?" Xie Jin asked him in a low voice, but He Nian didn't see an answer. He just looked at Xie Jin with those bright black eyes. I don't know if it was an illusion. Xie Jin always felt that there was a request in those eyes. .

"You guys are kind to me, so you have to be nice." He Nian knew that Xie Jin was not proficient in sign language, so he deliberately slowed down, "Chocolate is really delicious."

Sensing that something was wrong with He Nian's words, Xie Jin couldn't help but think of another guess. He gestured strangely towards He Nian, "A Nian, tell us, did the Zhao family threaten you? Why did they imprison you there? In the yard, there is that red snake... did they draw your blood to feed the snake?"

The cool evening breeze blew the hair of He Nian who was closest to the window, and the bright moon outside the window finally emerged from the dark clouds, and the pale light entered the room, making He Nian's fair skin look even more sick.

Blinking at Xie Jin, He Nian shook his head immediately. He didn't answer the question, but turned his head to look at Wen Liang who was standing behind silently, and asked him for something: "My bag Woolen cloth?"

It sounded like a nonsensical question, but Wen Liang groped through his body, and finally took out something from the bag on his back waist, which was exactly the cloth bag that He Nian used to hold sugar-coated origami.

"What do you want this for?" Wen Liang held the bag in his hand, and didn't give it to He Nian immediately, he looked straight into He Nian's eyes, "Have you really thought it through, do you want it?"

He Nian didn't avoid it either, he and Wen Liang looked at each other for a few seconds, and then nodded.Xie Jin didn't understand the meaning of the conversation between the two of them, he just watched Wen Liang hand back the sugar-coated cloth bag to He Nian in confusion, and didn't say anything more.

He still wanted to ask about He Nian's experience in Zhao's house, but at this time Zhuo Ketuoda came up with He Nian's meal, "What are you talking about?"

She put the food plate on the table, besides the porridge, Zhuo Ke Tuo Da fried another pepper egg, put the food in front of He Nian, the girl urged again, "Aren't you hungry, eat quickly .”

Xie Jin swallowed back the question that came to his lips. He could see that He Nian was deliberately avoiding those things, especially in front of Zhuo Ketuoda, but the more he did this, the more he suspected that He Nian was being controlled by the Zhao family. Come back next time to dispel their worries.

Seeing the hands of the half-aged youth holding the chopsticks trembling due to weakness, Xie Jin remembered the raw meat he saw in that yard. He really couldn't bear to interrupt He Nian at such a time, so he imitated the gentle manner and kept silent. .

Zhuo Ke Tuo Da's dinner was very simple, before He Nian woke up, it was just a pot of porridge and a plate of fried vegetables. The three of them and Grandma Yang, who was out of the house, shared the food.

"He likes my scrambled hot pepper eggs the most." Zhuo Ketuoda sat next to He Nian and kept adding vegetables to his bowl. No matter where He Nian went before or why he didn't come back after entering the village, she He was very perceptive and didn't take the initiative to mention it.

After the meal, He Nian followed Xie Jin and the others to Zhuo Ketuoda's bedroom. After seeing Ji Duan who was still unconscious on the bed, He Nian was obviously taken aback.

"Is it still a curse?" He gestured to Xie Jin and asked Xie Jin, a worried expression appeared on his sunken face, "Why did you faint?"

"It's already the second time. If you count in the Li family's ancestral house, it should be the third time." Xie Jin didn't want He Nian to worry too much, so he didn't tell him about Ji Duan's loss of soul. There will be help."

In fact, Xie Jin has no idea at all, he is even ready to leave for Gyeongju at any time, but now that Zhuo Ketuoda's grandmother has given the medicine that can suppress the spread of the curse, they have the idea of ​​​​a try, and plan to go to Qingzhou first. Wait until the day of the sacrifice, if it really doesn't work, then go to the last resort.

"It must be fine, he is a person favored by the gods." After He Nian finished making gestures, he stretched out his hand to gently touch Ji Duan's forehead, and then hugged Xie Jin's waist again.

"A Nian? What happened all of a sudden..." Xie Jin looked down at He Nian and whirled a little. He didn't know why He Nian suddenly showed such an intimate behavior, but after thinking about it, Xie Jin felt that it should be Looking for comfort.

The night breeze passed through the hall, temporarily brushing away the worries in his heart. He raised his hand and patted He Nian on the back, and comforted him softly, "It's okay, Ah Nian, just come back. Remember the promise I made to you in that yard, wait until everything After everything is over, come with us to Tan Jiang?"

"What? Brother Anian wants to leave here and go somewhere else?" Zhuo Ketuoda was the first to quit after hearing this. She grabbed Xie Jin's sleeve and yelled, "I want to go too, take me too."

"Who wants to take care of Zhuo Ke Tuo Da's grandma?" Xie Jin patted her little head lightly, and finally there was a smile on his face, "I can ask Ah Nian to bring you back many local famous people in Tanjiang. Eat, if you have a chance next time, you can also bring grandma to come with us."

Zhuo Ke Tuo Da let out a disappointed "Oh", she curled her lips and muttered in a low voice, "But Grandma told me that shaman descendants cannot leave here. This is already an unwritten rule, and I can't break it."

"Then I'll bring you chocolate, and Sayuri has been outside the mountain." He Nian slowly gestured to Zhuo KeTuoDa, this proposal also made Zhuo KeTuoDa, who was originally lost, jumped up.

"That's for sure!"

Xie Jin slept very deeply that night, because Ji Duan occupied Zhuo Ketuoda's bed and it was inconvenient to move, so Zhuo Ketuoda went to sleep with his grandmother on the opposite side.

The three of them crowded together in this small room like in Tan Jiang's rental house, except that Wen Liang was on the floor, and Xie Jin was sitting by the bed watching Ji Duan fall asleep.

When Xie Jin felt that the dream and reality were about to be confused, he vaguely heard the sound of walking around him, and the creaking of wooden boards made him wake up gradually. He opened his eyes and found that Wen Liang was standing by the window.

The window that was originally closed was now wide open, Wen Liang faced out the window and didn't know what he was looking at, Xie Jin was a little strange, so he asked him: "What are you looking at?"

"He's gone." Wen Liang heard the sound of the chair and the floor grinding behind him, and turned to look at Xie Jin. His expression was very calm, and he could hardly see any emotional changes.

"What, who left?" Xie Jin thought that he had fallen asleep and misheard. He rubbed his astringent eyes and walked to Wen Liang's side. There was nothing outside the window, only the endless night.

Wen Liang also turned his head, he pointed at the messy tree shadows that were faintly visible in the night, his voice was still very weak, "He Nian is gone."
