Chapter 37
: Raiders
Looking at the tree that seemed to be dead not far away, Xue Song came to a nearby courtyard, and the lightning-striking tree was in his courtyard. They should know something.
"What's wrong with that tree?" The hostess of Xue Song was entertained by Xue Song. When he heard Xue Song inquiring about the tree, he asked.
"I heard that this tree is often hit by lightning. This look should be uneasy. I am a worm master and I am good at handling some weird things. Can I see the trees in your yard?"
Xue Song directly explained the purpose of the local area and the hostess.
Tsuno listened to what the man in front of him said, pondered for a long time and said, "Please wait, I have to ask my husband."
After a while, Tono brought a middle-aged man to Xue Song's place. After learning about Xue Song's purpose, the male owner happily agreed. The few went to the lightning tree in the courtyard together.
Looking up, the sky was blue, the sun was a little dazzling, and the cicadas were ringing around.
Xue Song looked at the big tree, but found no trace of the insect.
"There is not on this tree, so...has anyone in your family ever been hit by lightning?" he asked looking at the middle-aged man.
The couple looked at each other and invited Xue Song into the house. Their son was hit by lightning, but nothing happened.
Xue Song asked them to call the child to check it out, and also learned about the incident from them.
The male owner told Xue Song that their child was hit by lightning while playing under the tree more than five years ago, and later he was struck by lightning under the tree many times.
"Ali, come in,"
"Crash..." The door opened,
A little boy walked into the house with a expressionless face.
Xue Song glanced at Ali and asked the little boy to sit cross-legged in front of him.
"Come on, let me see your belly." The little boy obediently unbuttoned his shirt.
An electric current came from Xue Song's fingers, and his hand had not touched the little boy's body.
"Sure enough!" Xue Song said in his mind,
"When the thunder approaches, will there be fever near the navel?"
He looked up at Ali and asked, and the little boy nodded.
"Well, I understand, it's really because of the insect."
"Oh?..." The male owner looked confused.
Looking at their appearance, Xue Song put down the suitcase behind him and took out a scroll from it. It was the record of Zhao Lei Zi copied from the underground library of the Hunfang House.
"This kind of insect is called 'Zhao Lei Zi'. It was originally a bug that floated in the air and used thunder as food, but sometimes larvae will fall to the surface with the falling thunder."
"In this way, they will not be able to return to the air by themselves and will hide in the caves of nearby trees. If someone happens to be present, they will also drill from their navel into their bodies."
"They will discharge electricity in the host body, attract lightning to hit the host, and then swallow the lightning and wait for the feathering."
He spread the scroll open and showed the owner information about Zhao Leizi.
Listening to Xue Song's words, the people in the room looked at each other and felt incredible. Xue Song took a sip of spiritual wine and said, "Because the thunder will swallow lightning, even if the host is hit by lightning, it will often not die immediately. But if it is hit again and again, it will die one day. It would be fine if there is a cave that can avoid lightning, otherwise..."
"I told him to stay in the trench underground, but this child just didn't listen."
The male owner glanced at Ali who was kneeling aside. Every time he asked Ali to hide, Ali would always run out by himself.
Xue Song nodded and looked at Ali's mother.
"There is a way to get Zhao Leizi out of the human body. Just use the child's umbilical cord to decoct the medicine. Can I use it?"
When Tono heard Xue Song's words, he nodded indifferently. She touched her chin with her hand, but did not show any concern.
"But, I don't know where to collect it."
"Teno! Why are you so cold? This is related to Ali's life. Go and find him!" The man couldn't help but feel angry when he saw his wife so cold.
"Yes..." Tono nodded expressionlessly, and then prepared to get up and search.
"It's okay for me, just do as it is now." Ali said slowly with his head down.
When Tono heard Ali's words, he paused, raised his head silently and glanced at him, but got up and opened the door and walked out.
Seeing his wife leave, the male owner also asked Ali to go back to his room.
"Sorry, the umbilical cord should be at home. Can you wait?" After there was no one in the room, the male owner asked Xue Song.
"Then I have to go back to work, too."
Seeing Xue Song nodding, he also stood up and walked out the door.
"Ask a pity, are they mother and son blood relatives?"
"Yes. Although the insider doesn't seem to know how to treat the child, Ali is indeed her biological flesh and blood." Hearing Xue Song's inquiry, he stopped asking the male owner.
"Yes." Xue Song also took a deep breath at this time, and he couldn't help but think of the white-haired one-eyed man.
It’s this kind of family factor again. Alas, it would have been great if Yin Gu had been called. Yin Gu was good at dealing with women, so he really didn’t want to get involved in this kind of family relationship.
In the warehouse on one side, Tono was tidying up the drawer. She remembered that the umbilical cord seemed to be placed in the cabinet here.
She opened the bottom drawer and searched for it. Suddenly she saw a neatly folded piece of Bai Wuqi. She stroked the red-crowned crane above and fell into memories.
...
"Mom, mom, help me. I don't want to accept this marriage. I have someone I like."
"Mom? Mom!" Tears kept sliding from the corners of the young Songo's eyes. She looked at her mother who was not speaking with her back, and screamed.
A year after marriage, Tono became pregnant. She felt her slightly raised belly and came to the river. She wanted to drown in the river with her child.
"Teno!..." Her husband rushed into the river and rescued Tono.
"What the hell do you want to do!" he asked by grabbing Tokyo's shoulder.
"I don't want to have a child." At this time, Tono's eyes were a little dull, "I definitely can't love this child."
But she still couldn't resist her husband and family's dissuasion.
"Wow wow wow..." Tono looked at the life that was born from her body coldly, as if it was just an irrelevant item.
As the boy grew up, she felt disgusted by the child's crying, which seemed to have been reminding her that she could not bear it.
She tied the boy under a tree outside, covered her ears and hid in the room, she just wanted to stay away.
"Crack! Boom..." The lightning illuminated the whole room, and the crying outside also stopped abruptly. Tono turned his head in horror and looked outside.
The whole tree was charred black, but nothing happened to the boy miraculously.
But since then, Ali never shed a single tear. Whenever there is a thunderstorm, Ali would climb to the tall tree.
"Come in the house." Tono said lightly as he looked at Ali sitting on the tree branch, "There is danger there."
Ali turned his head to look at her, and then turned his gaze into the thick clouds.
"Crack...boom..." Lightning hit Ali again, and he would only look at his mother quietly there.
The dazzling light wrapped Ali, and Tono could only see the blurred phantom, and the look that made her feel palpitations, indifference and contempt.
Songo looked at Ali who was struck by the attack and looked at his eyes, feeling extremely strange and frightened.
That child is a monster!
