Quick Wear: The Crazy Host is the Paranoid's Treasure

Chapter 462 Ji Bai 6

Ji Bai, lying in the mud, slowly opened his eyes, looked at the inky black sky, his thin lips moved slightly, but in the end he did not say anything, and all the sounds in his ears disappeared in an instant.

The world was quiet for a long time. After the pain suddenly stopped, he, who was sweating profusely from the pain, felt like he was in a soft cloud, and his whole body relaxed.

After a very long time, Ji Bai slowly came back to his senses, looked at the still dark sky, and lay in the mud without moving.

It didn't rain heavily in the sky like in TV dramas. The depressing dark clouds were always there, and the whole sky seemed to be collapsing.

Ji Bai's eyes were unfocused and he looked like he had lost his soul.

This kind of weather belongs to him.

There is no light at all, only endless abyss.

He closed his eyes tiredly, his breathing was weak, and from a distance he looked like a corpse.

The black gas swirling in the air seemed to have sensed his compromise and pressed down towards him.

"Good boy..."

The black air enveloped him completely, and the distant voice became somewhat relieved: "We can make you stand on the top of the world and become the most powerful existence..."

The black air penetrated into his body and invaded his blood.

Ji Bai felt as if something was lost in his heart. The scenes of violence that appeared in his mind gradually lost their disgust, and he became numb little by little, and then excited.

"...You are a good person."

"You will definitely live happily in the future..."

"...people who love each other, come together for love and for a better life, love each other, understand each other, and face troubles and happiness together."

"..."

Ji Bai raised his hand with a pale face to stop the invasion of the black energy. Without waiting for the distant voice to come, he opened his mouth and whispered: "I want to go back and take a look."

The world was quiet for a long time, and the black air seemed to be thinking.

But soon, the space around him began to twist, and the scene in front of him changed in the blink of an eye.

Ji Bai stood not far from the hunter's house, covered in wounds. The blood flowing from his seven orifices had already coagulated, and he looked disheveled and terrifying.

The hunter's house was dilapidated and showed signs of erosion by time.

A white-haired old woman with a cane came out of the hunter's house. In her other hand she held a small stool. She walked to the yard, hunched over and put down the stool.

After putting the stool away, the old woman turned her head stiffly little by little as if she had noticed something.

Although she is old, her eyesight is still very good and she can see people not far away at a glance.

Her pupils trembled and she couldn't believe what she saw.

Soon, she came to her senses and saw that something was wrong with him. She ran quickly over there with her crutches, as if she was afraid that he would leave without saying goodbye like he had done before.

Ji Bai subconsciously took a step back, but his wrist was quickly grabbed by someone.

"Ji Bai?"

He lowered his eyes and looked at her.

Huahua had a lot of complaints in her heart. She had thought about it countless times in her mind over the past few decades. When they met again, she pointed at his nose and scolded him for leaving without saying goodbye.

But when this day really came, she was speechless. Looking at his miserable state, tears welled up in her eyes. She raised her eyes and asked distressedly:

"Where have you been all these years? Why did you get yourself so injured?"

Hua Hua looked at him for a long time, and after making sure that he was not seriously injured, she raised her trembling hands to wipe away her tears: "It's good that you're back, it's good that you're back... Let's go home."

She subconsciously reached out to hold his hand, but when her emotions calmed down a little, she suddenly remembered that he didn't like others touching him.

She put her hand down, turned around and looked at him every few steps. Only when she saw him catch up with her did her heart slowly relax.

Huahua boiled some hot water for him, mixed it with some cold water to test the temperature, and then put the newly bought clothes aside: "You are injured and cannot touch water, so wipe your body first. I will go out and find some herbs for you." This clothes is also new, you can wear it directly.

After saying a lot, she was still a little worried: "Where I'm going is not far, I'll be back soon, so don't run too far."

After saying that, she did not leave, but stared at him waiting for his answer. Only after he nodded did she turn and walk out.

Ji Bai placed his bony fingers lightly on the edge of the basin. He lowered his eyes to look at his own miserable appearance in the water and paused for a long time before moving.

When he finished wiping and went out, Huahua had just finished pounding the herbs and placed them in front of the door.

"Just sit over there and I'll apply the medicine on you."

Ji Bai looked at her and stood there without moving.

After a long time, Huahua, who was holding the herbs, gave up. She handed the herbs to him and said, "If there's any place I can't apply, call me."

Ji Bai did not reach out to take it, but raised his head slightly to look at the bright sunshine that he had not seen for a long time, and his breathing unconsciously became lighter.

Huahua followed his gaze and asked, "What are you looking at?"

Ji Bai lowered his head and reached out to take the herbs.

Huahua turned around and saw him applying the medicine. She remembered something and said quickly, "Wait!"

Ji Bai stopped and looked back at the man walking towards the house with a cane.

It wasn't long before she came out and stopped in front of him with a small package in her hand.

She opened the package in her hand: "It may be a little painful to apply the medicine, but eating some candy may make it better."

The package was opened, revealing the familiar candy inside.

Huahua: "I said before that I would buy you lots of candied fruits when I make money..."

Her hand paused for a moment, then continued: "I buy some every year, but I didn't expect that this promise would be fulfilled today."

She handed the small package in front of him, and the sweet scent of candy filled his nose. Ji Bai lowered his eyes and looked at the thing in her hand. It took a long time before he reached out to take it.

"...Thanks."

Huahua was stunned for a moment, then looked up at the man who still looked young and delicate. When she came to her senses, the man had turned around and walked into the room to apply medicine on herself.

She turned her head slightly, and there happened to be a puddle on the ground in the yard. She saw her face in the reflection of the puddle.

Her hair was gray, her face was full of wrinkles, and even several teeth had fallen out. Time had left a heavy mark on her face.

But there was nothing wrong with it. After all, she was no longer a teenage girl, but a 93-year-old grandmother.

Huahua turned her head to look at the house, the light in her eyes trembled slightly. After a long time, she withdrew her gaze and walked towards the kitchen with her crutches.

These herbs were of no use to Ji Bai's injuries, but he applied them to the injured area.

After applying the medicine, he looked at the candied fruit at hand, and his thoughts drifted away again.

I don’t know how long it took, but I heard Huahua calling his name outside the door.

"time to eat!"

Ji Bai put away the candied fruit at hand and walked out the door.

The meal was rich and the familiar taste took him back to the past with the first bite.

The meal was eaten in silence.

At the beginning, Huahua talked a lot in front of Ji Bai as she did in the past, but the older Huahua no longer had the lively energy she used to have, and soon she felt a little tired. She put down the bowl and rested for a while before she could continue eating.

Suddenly Ji Bai smelled the scent of death from her. He put down his bowl and chopsticks and turned to look at her.

Huahua also felt that her time had come. She didn't mention it, but used the serving chopsticks to pick up a few dishes for him and said, "Because you like to eat these dishes, I specially learned to make them from uncle many times. I don't know when you will come back, and I don't know if you will come back, but I just hope that one day I can let you eat them again."

“I thought I couldn’t fulfill this wish.”
