Chapter 123: The Giant Chrysalis (2)
Anyone who has ever had experience in raising silkworms should know that pupae and cocoons are not the same thing.
I remember that when I was a child, I also raised a few silkworm babies, and when the cocoon was formed, the white flowers, fluffy, and looked very cute. When you peel off the outer layer of the cocoon, there are yellow-brown chrysalis with two pointed ends like a spindle.
At that time, when I saw the ugliness of the chrysalis, I didn't like it so much, and when I heard that the chrysalis would become a moth, I resolutely ended my experience of raising a pet.
When I grew up, I started to like silkworm chrysalis again, but it was already a delicacy on the table.
The chrysalis in the cabinet are similar in shape and color to the silkworm chrysalis, but they are large and fill the entire cabinet.
Dou Dabao swallowed hard, "Blind Bing has become a chrysalis?" If you get him out, will he turn into a big fluttering moth? ”
Although I knew that he was talking nonsense, I still felt a chill in my heart.
Dashuang pulled me aside and whispered to me:
"I also know what my situation is, all I can do is release him, but I don't know what will happen when he is released."
I thought for a moment and said, "Jinghai has found what I was looking for, and the blind man's soul has also been brought, so just get him out." ”
Dashuang nodded, pulled open a drawer to the side, and took out a hammer and a carving knife.
We all thought he was going to use this to break open the chrysalis, but instead he pushed open the back door and walked out.
In my impression, in the yard of No. 14, there has always been a stone with a smooth surface, and there are no potted plants on the stone, and it does not seem to be used for washing.
Dashuang walked up to the stone and turned around and made a gesture at me that I usually used at work.
I immediately asked Dou Dabao and Sun Tuzi to prepare.
"Click~Click~Click......"
With the movement of the big pair, the carving knife makes contact with the stone slab, making a slight sound.
I couldn't help it, I wanted to see what he carved on it, but because of the angle, I couldn't see the front of the slate.
"It's cracked!" Dou Dabao and Sun Lu suddenly shouted at the same time.
I hurriedly turned around, and I saw a crack in the chrysalis.
The crack was not too obvious, if it weren't for Dou Dabao and the others staring at the chrysalis closely, they would never be able to find it easily.
I quickly decided that the crack was not there in the beginning, but seemed to grow little by little with the sound of chiseling in the yard.
Although he knew that today's Dashuang was no longer an ordinary person, he not only succeeded Chen Jinsheng as the new housekeeper of the Yinyang Station, but also inherited the craftsmanship of the old Chen stele maker. But I couldn't figure out why he had carved in the stone slab and why the chrysalis had changed.
Sun Lu looked at the back door and whispered, "Why do I think that although Dashuang is chiseling stones, the carving knife seems to be directly engraved on this 'silkworm chrysalis'?" ”
Dou Dabao also suppressed his throat and said: "Woe, look, the crack on this is not like a talisman?" ”
In fact, I don't need to say anything, I can already see the strangeness.
The cracks on the giant chrysalis are not irregular cracks, but after a certain degree of cracking, they turn in another direction.
The speed of cracking seems to be synchronized with Dashuang's movements.
As the 'cracks' increased, the cracks formed a strange pattern that really looked like a talisman.
"The carving knife is carved in the stone slab, how can this crack on it?" Dou Dabao muttered quietly, and couldn't help but stretch out his hand to touch the crack.
I was just about to stop it, when the part of the giant chrysalis cracked suddenly fell off.
Dou Dabao's hands were not cured, and when the giant chrysalis began to fall off, his fingers were about to touch the surface of the chrysalis.
The chrysalis suddenly fell off a large piece of his chin and before he could retract his hand, suddenly, he saw two rows of Bai Sensen's teeth poking out of the hole, and bit down on his fingers!
With the sound of "click" teeth clenching violently, Dou Dabao sat on the ground with his buttocks, his face was pale, and he couldn't speak for a long time.
It was also thanks to his frightening fall that he fell backwards, otherwise he probably wouldn't have been able to save that finger.
I didn't care about him, but like Sun Lu, I was stunned.
Dou Dabao may not have had time to see the situation clearly, but Sun Tuzi and I can see it clearly.
The part of the giant chrysalis that fell off actually revealed a human face!
It is said that we have all thought that the blind man is in the chrysalis, but when we saw this exposed face, Sun Tuzi and I were frightened, and at the same time, we looked back at each other, and we both saw strong questions in each other's eyes.
The face that emerged from the chrysalis was as white as if it had been coated with a thick layer of flour. The eyes are open, but the eyeballs seem to be sealed with a layer of white wax, and the kernels of the eyes are completely visible.
After this face almost bit Dou Dabao, he closed his mouth, just stared at his eyes like a health ball, and there was no movement. Although he no longer moves, and there is no obvious expression, he looks very weird and terrifying.
"Is this blind?" Sun Lu finally couldn't help but ask.
I took two steps back, reluctantly looked at it closely, and nodded, "It's blind." ”
Dou Dabao trembled and got up, "How did Blind Bing become like this?" ”
I glared at him, "Don't talk nonsense, what about the living dead?" ”
Dou Dabao took out an oil-paper bag from his satchel, looked at the blind man who only showed his face, reacted, and asked in shock:
"I don't think I want to feed him this piece of human flesh, do you?"
Seeing that I didn't speak, Dou Dabao shook his head again and again, "This can't be done, this can't be done, if you want me to see it, it's better to call the old monk out and ask him what to do." ”
"Master Jinghai has passed away."
On the way back, I was drowsy until this point, when I remembered to tell them about Jinghai's death.
Dou Dabao was silent for a long time and asked me, "Are you sure that the flesh of the living dead is used like this?" ”
I, him, and Sun Tuzi looked at each other, although they didn't speak, but they all knew in their hearts that if the old monk was there, he would naturally tell us what to do, but that was no longer possible.
At this time, I have realized the deep meaning of the saying "there is an old man in the family, if there is a treasure".
"Show me that thing."
Dashuang didn't know when he walked in, put the hammer and carving knife in his hand, and took the oiled paper bag from Dou Dabao's hand.
He opened the oiled paper packet, put it to his nose and sniffed it, looked at the blind man's face again, and said only one word: "Feed him." ”
Dou Dabao wanted to say something more, but I snatched the piece of meat from the paper bag and sent it directly to the blind man's mouth.
As if smelling meat, the blind man suddenly opened his mouth and swallowed the piece of meat in one gulp.
Seeing his mechanized munching, I retched.
At this time, Dou Dabao screamed again: "Damn, why did the octagonal lantern catch itself?!" ”
I hurriedly turned around, and sure enough, I saw that the octagonal lantern he had placed on the table actually lit a flame.
