Chapter 0295 Brothers in Trouble

I'm sick.

Yes, I'm seriously ill.

After returning to Taiyuan from Baiyangyu, I couldn't get up. I had a high fever and shivering for days. After entering Taiyuan Armed Police Hospital, I did a series of examinations but couldn't find any problem. The doctor said that I might be sick due to overwork and my body foundation collapsed, so this happened. So I was given nutrient solution and Chinese medicine all day long to regulate my body, but there was no effect. Lin Qing was so anxious that he could only call Qingyi. Qingyi said that I might have been infected with bad luck since I took over my father's stall, and I had to deal with ghosts all day long. So I was asked to wash my body with raw glutinous rice water every day.

Don't mention it, the effect of this glutinous rice water is immediate. After washing every day, I can wash out a large basin of black glutinous rice water. It's so scary. I was a little dumbfounded when I saw it. I thought it seems that my body is really "dirty".

This kind of dirtiness is not because I don't take a bath, but because I have been dealing with dirty things since July this year. When the yin and yang meet, they will inevitably be contaminated with bad luck and turbid air. These airs are not good for living people. Over time, they will be contaminated with a lot. The glutinous rice water is used to wash away this kind of bad luck. I have said before that this is actually the method used by the corpse-driving people in Xiangxi, but it is more useful. Now, people in our industry who are contaminated with bad luck like to use this method to get rid of bad luck. It is much more useful than mulberry leaves. However, it is impossible to practice the boy's kung fu by taking a bath in glutinous rice water like the corpse-driving people from birth. That kung fu is too hard.

After washing with sticky rice water for more than ten days, the bad luck on my body was barely gone. My whole condition was much better, at least I didn't have a high fever anymore. But Shen Mengqi's matter became my worry. After I came back, I couldn't remember how many nights I dreamed of her as soon as I closed my eyes. I dreamed of her eyes, her smile, and her embrace of my sharp knife with her chest like a moth to a flame...

All of this tortured me to the point of exhaustion. However, no matter how much I was suffering, I had to hold on. I couldn't really make up my mind to accompany Shen Mengqi, Cao Yuan, and Zhang Bowen, who died for me. I was not afraid of death, but compared to the extremely cowardly suicide, I wanted to die in battle like a man. So, after staying silent in the Armed Police Hospital for nearly ten days, I took advantage of the great improvement in my physical condition to complete the discharge procedures and left the hospital.

It was close to the end of the year. It would be the New Year in a dozen days. I thought about it and decided to give Qi Nan a year-end bonus of 200,000 yuan, and then give her a year-end leave. It was not that there were no tasks, but I was not in the mood to do them. I simply closed the door and waited until I felt better!

In this way, I finally took a break after being busy for half a year.

I took Heizi back from Uncle Li, teased him every day, practiced martial arts with Hua Mulan and Lin Qing, played chess with Zhou Jing, and occasionally played a few cups with Uncle Li. My life was quite fulfilling.

Probably because of my mood, Hua Mulan didn't really punish me when she got home, nor did she train me in the "Mortal Kombat" way as before. She said that I was already a qualified warrior and was familiar with her and Lin Qing's offensive routines. There was no need to continue the combat training. She just pointed out my skills.

In the meantime, I also talked to Qingyi and Fatty on the phone several times, and also talked to them about some recent developments.

It is gratifying that after experiencing the trials of the Ten Deadly Tombs and the Western Regions Ghost City, Qingyi realized something in his heart and finally became a Heavenly Master. This is a huge breakthrough he made after being injured by killing Hanba and standing still for many years. It is equivalent to the level of our Fa Qiu Sect's Eight-stage Killing Qi. It is definitely the pillar of the entire Heavenly Master Dao at the humerus level!

As for Fatty...

This bitch is still the same dog. He touches gold when there is work, and touches women when there is no work. When he called me, he always said dirty words, saying that he and Zhang Jinya were hanging out recently and were going to set up a small company for fun. He did nothing but check the recruitment of human resources. If a man didn't want it, he would recruit female employees. If there was something to do, he would let the female employees do it, and if there was nothing to do...

Well, anyway, he didn't say a single serious word, and he also urged me to stop practicing the boy's kung fu for fun and learn from him, which caused me to be scolded by my wife that night.

I also tried to call Yi Shiting, but after we parted in the Western Regions, she seemed to have disappeared from the face of the earth, and there was no news at all. But it was normal to think about it. After all, she was from the overseas department, and it would be strange if she could be contacted.

Because Qingyi and Fatty were all close to the Tiandao League, when I called them, I also asked about Duolun and Cao Yuan. Unfortunately, after the incident in the Western Regions, whether it was Duolun, the immortal corpse, or Cao Yuan, they all disappeared like a stone sinking into the sea, and there was no news. Now the Tiandao League has set up a special task force to investigate this matter, but there has been no results so far. Cao Yuan, who I have been thinking about, is still missing and his whereabouts are unknown!

Days passed bit by bit in a peaceful life, and in the blink of an eye, it was finally the time for the New Year.

On New Year's Eve, at the reunion dinner, the one accompanying me was no longer my father, but Uncle Li, Zhou Jing, Lin Qing and Hua Mulan. It was lively, but I always felt that something was missing. I felt empty and uncomfortable. I had experienced too much this year. Sometimes I felt that I was no longer a young man in my twenties. I had seen too many lives and deaths. Sometimes I couldn't be happy even if I wanted to.

During the dinner, Uncle Li asked me about my wishes for next year.

Wish?

I thought about it carefully. Apart from finding Cao Yuan and avenging my father, which I had to do, it seemed that I had not made too many plans for my future, just like I had never thought about it for myself. Uncle Li's question really stumped me. Finally, after looking at the vivid faces around me, I finally knew what I wanted - in fact, I just hope that next year, the year after, and even my future life, will be fine, no one will leave me, and the person who sat at the same table with me tonight will be with me forever for the rest of my life.

This is really the only thought in my heart after experiencing too much.

That night, we were all drunk, even Hua Mulan drank a lot, but she drank a little scary, she just picked up a three or four jin jar of white wine and drank it, then patted the empty jar and told us that people in the army drank like this at that time...

Then...

Then there was nothing else, we just ignored her, no one was stupid, it was not worth drinking with such a pervert.

A drunken night, a New Year's Eve passed like this.

I slept groggy, and was awakened by a fierce knock on the door at around ten o'clock the next morning. After getting up from the bed in a daze, I was a little confused about who it was. On the first day of the new year, I didn't let anyone quiet down for a while, and I went to open the door with a belly full of resentment.

It didn't matter that I opened the door, I was dumbfounded, because the person standing outside the door turned out to be my good brother Chen Yu in college!

But he looked a bit embarrassed now, panting, and covered with snow. The most important thing was that his original black and thick hair was gone, and his forehead was shaved clean. The big bald head was shiny in the snow, cleaner than a monk.

I was immediately happy when I saw his head, and couldn't help teasing him: "Xiao Yuzi, don't you already have Leilei? Why do you want to become a monk? You are really willing to do it. I remember that when you were in college, you showed off your hairstyle to me all day long. The whole side-parted hair, the mousse-like hair was like iron wire. Don't mention how much you take care of your hair."

"Xiaotian, what time is it now? You are still complaining to me about these trivial things?"

Chen Yu said with a sad face and a wronged look: "I came back to you to ask you to save my life!"
