Chapter 0092 Try Again Next Time
Mo Xiu always completes what he starts. Even though I was in so much pain that I couldn't even make a sound and my whole body was twitching, he still inserted the stone needles into my body steadily and accurately.
I don't know what marrow cleansing and tendon strengthening is. I just feel as if every bone in my body seems to be broken, and every tendon seems to be stretched, stretched, and stretched again.
When I was in junior high school, an art tutoring class opened in town. Zhang Hanzhu and I secretly went there to try it out. In fact, it was just a way of waiting for the children to want to learn and then asking parents to sign up.
When we saw the dance teacher doing splits, Zhang Hanzhu and I were eager to try it. However, she was too strong. When I lowered my legs, she pulled me directly, stretching my tendons.
It took me more than ten minutes to recover from the pain.
It made me never have the slightest thought of practicing dancing again, and I had great respect for the dancers on TV.
Now I have cramps, and it's like that feeling is coming again and again, getting stronger and stronger.
I felt nothing but pain.
Mo Xiu's snake tail wrapped around me tightly, not loosening at all, yet firmly protecting my lower abdomen.
When I was a kid, when I watched TV, I always thought it was so painful that I would faint, but in fact it didn’t hurt anymore.
But the real pain would go back and forth between intense stimulation and dizziness...
When Mo Xiu inserted all the stone needles into my body, I suddenly felt like I was reborn.
But when I think about it, if that "dragon spirit" really wakes up, who will I become?
My whole body ached so much that it felt numb, just like when I split my legs that day and both of my legs didn't feel like my own.
I could even feel my eyelids twitching. Sweat moved along my body and flowed into my eyes, stinging them and causing pain. Everything I saw was white and shiny.
Just when I thought it was over, a warm current suddenly seemed to surge throughout my body.
Mo Xiu released the snake's tail that was wrapped around me and hugged me tightly: "Long Ling, it will be over in a moment. Wake up, you are still you."
His jaw was set so tightly that I could see the bone shape of his jaw.
I wanted to laugh, but I just couldn't.
If Long Ling wakes up, I will no longer be myself, I will just be "Long Ling".
The hot feeling gradually rose, and it was so hot that I instinctively wanted to escape, but I didn't know where this hot feeling came from, and there was nowhere to escape.
When I was a child, when my mother helped me take a bath, she always liked to use hot water. I said, "Let's use hot water." But when she touched it, she said it wasn't hot enough and scolded me for not wanting to take a bath, and forced me to do it.
Then take the soap and rub it hard, really like rubbing pig skin.
To the extent that when I was five or six years old, I didn’t dare let my mother give me a bath, because every time after the bath, I felt as if I had been scalded and needed to be rubbed clean enough to be served on the table and eaten.
That's the feeling now, painful but inescapable.
Thinking of this, I suddenly felt that these memories were inexplicably precious. Perhaps when "Long Ling" wakes up, these will disappear, or they may become a drop in the ocean of her powerful memory.
"Long Ling." Mo Xiu put his face close to mine and said solemnly, "I'm sorry. It will be fine in a moment. I'll wait for you to wake up..."
I raised my eyes slightly, letting the sweat slide down my eyes, and looked at Mo Xiu.
There was guilt and pain on his face, but not the happiness I had imagined.
He should be happy that Long Ling is back.
But he just hugged me tightly and whispered, "Long Ling, I'm sorry."
I was in so much pain that I couldn't speak. I just felt my body getting hotter and hotter, but it seemed that the water in the Yin Yang Pond was getting colder and colder.
Between the alternation of hot and cold, I fell into a deep sleep.
Before I fell asleep, I thought, this might be my life.
It turns out that it is just like this...
But this time I didn't wake up at Qin Mi's house. Instead, I felt something tighten around my waist, and then something entangled me. There was a roar in my ear: "Mo Xiu, are you crazy? Did you get infected when you were in the snake coffin? She is pregnant with a snake fetus now. If something happens, Long Ling will never wake up again."
This voice is very familiar, so familiar that it makes me feel a little sad.
In the blink of an eye, he found himself being wrapped by a crystal white snake tail. Liu Longting completely turned into a snake form , raised his head and roared at Mo Xiu.
Mo Xiu was just sitting by the Yin Yang Pond with his hair and clothes loose. He seemed to sense something and looked towards me.
But there was no joy on his face, and he seemed a little disappointed.
Instead, it was Liu Longting who reacted, quickly looked back at me, turned into a human form, and hugged me.
The anger on his face disappeared, and he looked at me hopefully and said, "Long Ling, are you awake? I am Liu Longting, the Snow Region White Snake that you raised back then."
I blinked and looked at Liu Longting, feeling a little confused. I tried hard to recall, but it seemed that no memory appeared in my mind. Could it be that Mo Xiu's method was ineffective?
I opened my mouth to say something, but found myself exhausted from the pain and unable to speak.
"Water! Water!" Liu Longting stretched out his hand and shouted happily, "Mo Xiu, water!"
Just as he stretched out his hand, I discovered that Liu Longting was wearing the snake bracelet on his wrist.
The snake is black and white, its head is bloody, and it eats its own tail.
As Liu Longting was drinking in ecstasy, Mo Xiu brought him a glass of water in a stone cup, but he just stood aside and looked at me with gloomy eyes.
The water temperature is just right and goes down your throat smoothly.
Liu Longting hugged me, supported my head, and handed the stone cup to my mouth: "Long Ling, I'm glad you woke up. You don't know how worried I was just now. I was afraid that Mo Xiu would mess up and you would never wake up again..."
I finished the water in the cup and winked at Liu Longting: "I am not Long Ling."
The stone cup in Liu Longting's hand fell to the ground, and Mo Xiu, who was standing silently on the side, instantly turned his eyes and looked over.
But it was hard to tell whether the expression on Mo Xiu’s face was disappointment or melancholy.
After moistening my throat with water, I looked at Mo Xiuxiu and said, "I am not Long Ling. She is not awake."
Liu Longting loosened his grip on me and I fell directly to the ground.
Just when I thought I was going to hit the ground, I felt a flash of black robe in front of my eyes, and Mo Xiu's arms held me steadily.
Liu Longting seemed to have just reacted and waved at me: "It's okay, it's okay..."
The snake bracelet on his hand swayed slightly, his eyes flickered, and he couldn't help feeling lost.
"The snake coffin is suppressed. He and Long Xia are easy to be infected and may even die. So I gave him the snake bracelet and let them live in the cave." Mo Xiu explained softly when he saw me looking at the snake bracelet.
Liu Longting touched the snake bracelet with his backhand, glanced at me and Mo Xiu, and said with a wry smile: "Don't do this next time. We agreed to let nature take its course."
But even so, he couldn't hide the disappointment on his face.
"I'll take you back to Qin Mipo." Mo Xiu just flashed his eyes, picked me up and left.
There was no regret or apology, it seemed like it was just like usual, I came to spend the night with him and he sent me back.
But I rarely went back to Qin Mi's house awake, and I didn't know that Mo Xiu would carry me in, put me carefully on the bed, and then cover me with a quilt very carefully.
Maybe this time it's different!
Just as Mo Xiu was about to cover me with the quilt, I hurriedly pulled the quilt and shook my head at him: "Thank you, Mr. Snake, I can do it myself."
Mo Xiu's hands, which were gripping the quilt, froze for a moment, and he looked at me as if he wanted to say something.
A low growling voice came from under the pulled quilt.
A Bao jumped out from the corner of the quilt, lay beside me, and growled at Mo Xiu.
He couldn't speak yet, but his teeth were bared and his tongue was chattering, which made him look very threatening.
Mo Xiu stared at him, his eyes darkening.
I quickly hugged Abao and smiled at Mo Xiuchen, "Liu Longting is still in the cave, Snake King should go back and discuss it with him first. Maybe the method is not right this time, we will know next time. Try a few more times and we will succeed."
Since Mo Xiu is determined to wake Long Ling up, I can't escape, so I might as well face it calmly and get some benefits.
It turns out that what my father taught me is so realistic.
"Try again next time?" Mo Xiu turned his head and looked at me. His loose robe was slightly tilted, as if there were some scratches on it.
Mo Xiu looked at me with pain in his eyes, opened his mouth to say something, but looked at A Bao, turned around and left.
As soon as he left, Abao immediately threw himself into my arms, whimpering softly in grievance.
It was obvious that he had taken a bath, with a faint smell of moxa leaves, and the wound on his back had been applied with medicine.
"The Wentian Sect elixir that He Gu left behind." Qin Mipo leaned against the door, looked at A Bao, and said with a wry smile: "I ate a chicken a day, and I can't afford to feed it."
I don’t know if Abao understood what I said or not, but he just lay on top of me, mumbling something in his throat and baring his teeth at me.
I touched his face. It was clean now, his skin was white, and his mood was stable. If it weren't for his shrunken eyes and bared teeth, he would still be a very cute child.
"Snake King took you there for a day and a night. What did you do?" Qin Mipo leaned against the door and looked at me and said, "From the way Snake King left just now, he didn't seem very happy."
"He cleansed my marrow and strengthened my tendons in the hope of waking Long Ling up, but unfortunately he failed." I felt so weak that I stretched out my fingers to tease Abao and teach him how to speak.
Qin Mipo seemed to be stunned and walked over quickly.
He reached out and tore off my clothes, only to see that the stone needles were still there underneath, having not been taken out at all.
It was just as if Liu Longting's transparent bone nails had broken out and grown together with his flesh and blood.
