Chapter 8, The Father's Involvement

Dark Small Medium Large Original Scroll to Bottom

The little Lu swayed and emitted a strange cackling laugh, his eyes fixed intently on my mother as she approached step by step. Upon seeing Xiao Wang faint, my father realized that he was the only one who could protect those around him.

He could think about it, but he didn't dare to say it out loud. My mother, who is as fierce as the "Thirteen Claws of Death," does not eat vegetarian food. He just watched as the white shadow bent down, slowly reaching out towards Xiao Wang with both hands. At this moment, my father had also mostly recovered. He ran a few steps forward with my mother, and perhaps to demonstrate to Xiao Wang what a flying kick was, he jumped up and kicked towards the white shadow, which then rolled into the small ditch by the roadside.

Although many years have passed since I last set it aside, the foundation remains, and my skills still possess the style reminiscent of the Western Poison Ouyang Feng from years past

Thus, Xiao Wang became more cunning, letting out a scream and falling to the ground to feign death, while secretly peeking to assess the situation.

Usually, my father would definitely run at a speed twice as fast as a bullet. But now, that is not possible, as his extravagant daughter-in-law is right in front of him. Not to mention whether he can run or not, just look at my mother, who weighs one hundred and eighty pounds, and then look at my own physique, which, even when including my pantyhose, is not even one hundred and thirty pounds. My father is in despair

In his youth, my father was considered a key figure in the school's cultural and athletic activities, excelling in both literary and martial competitions with great proficiency.

But he can't outrun my dad and mom. By then, both of them will have run away, leaving only Xiao Wang. As for Xiao Lu, no, it should be said that whatever is inside Xiao Lu would catch him as easily as catching a chick.

It turned out that the water pipeline was broken, so workers were called in to dig it up for repairs. However, to their surprise, after digging, they discovered that some unscrupulous small coal mine owner had connected the area below. Upon seeing this, the workers realized that someone was stealing state coal and climbed up to report it to the coal management department

Just as my father was on the verge of passing away, a white figure floated to Xiao Lu's side and suddenly struck him on the crown of his head with a powerful palm. Following that, Xiao Lu collapsed softly to the ground. My mother ran over in tears to help my father, who was coughing and gasping for air.

My father shook his head from a distance and sighed, thinking: "What kind of people are these? One is a professional at being possessed by ghosts, another has poor legs yet pretends to practice flying kicks, and then there's this big woman beside them. You say, with all of you misfits gathered together, encountering a ghost would be a light matter."

As it happened, this young Wang rushed forward, ready to deliver a kick, but he forgot about his own poor legs. Just as his left foot was about to lift off the ground, his right foot got tangled up. Like a hungry dog snatching at excrement, he fell flat in front of the white figure.

At that moment, Xiao Wang immediately jumped up and pulled my mother, saying, "Sister Liu, let’s quickly help my brother-in-law walk. That white shadow has entered Xiao Lu's body. Once he stands up, we won’t be able to escape."

Without saying that men will always be men, my father pushed my mother aside, shouted, "Run!" and charged at Xiao Lu.

Damn it, even ghosts are now playing the game of shared interests. Are we in a barrel and a library, or what? People who have never seen a ghost in their lives, and in just a short while, we have all made up for it.

The old man closed the shop and went to the market to buy chickens. In this one mu and three fen of land, Sun the blind man is as familiar as one can be.

Upon hearing my mother's piercing scream, Xiao Wang already sensed that something was amiss. It was not that he hadn't thought of running away immediately. However, he knew that his legs, which were affected by infantile paralysis, could barely manage a casual stroll, yet he was confident that he could outrun Xiao Lu, that mentally challenged boy, in a life-or-death situation.

At this moment, my father was already breathing more out than in, his face turning a deep purple. My mother was frantically scratching and kicking, but little Lu just wouldn't let go.

Seeing Xiao Lu with his head down and his shoulders slightly trembling, Mama approached him and said, "What’s wrong? You shouldn’t be this cold, should you?"

Before leaving, a warning sign was written on a piece of cardboard at the edge of this pit. This unfortunate blind man, unable to see, stepped into thin air and fell in. Although he did not sustain serious injuries, he was momentarily too frightened to move.

The three turned around and saw Xiao Lu slowly getting up from the ground, while the white figure at the foot of the hill was also slowly approaching. The three of them were as anxious as ants on a hot pan, yet they could not think of any way to escape.

This young Wang also felt ashamed of his act of pretending to faint. He took a deep breath and said to his mother, "You support my brother-in-law, and I will go confront her." Saying this, he ran diagonally towards the white figure.

Although my father is afraid, after all, his daughter-in-law is right in front of him. They say that a strong woman is like a bear, or rather, a strong woman has the courage of a man! When my father saw the situation before him, he loudly said to the two of them, "The one behind has already been confirmed as a ghost, but we haven't confirmed this one in front of us yet. Let's keep running forward. Damn it, why do we keep encountering such nonsensical things?"

Upon hearing this, the two of them agreed and helped my father to continue running forward. The white figure was getting closer and closer. However, I noticed that the white figure was not walking in a straight line, swaying from side to side.

It must be said that this old fool is quite unfortunate. After my mother and the others left, this old man realized that the situation was not simple. He then got up to prepare his tools, only to find that there was no rooster's blood left

There was no choice but to stubbornly walk up the mountain. However, who would have thought that as soon as I started up the mountain, a strong gust of wind would hit me, followed by a cry of surprise as someone fell right in front of me. Just as I was about to reach out to help, I was kicked into the ditch by someone.

Due to a burst water pipe, cold water continued to flow. Sun Xiezi, being of advanced age, soon became exhausted from the commotion and fainted at the bottom of the pit

Thus, he never took a cane for the blind when going out. This Sun, the blind man, relied solely on his senses to make his way to the market. Just after turning a corner, there was a splash, and Sun disappeared from the street.

Who would have thought that little Lu, like an iron man, neither dodged nor blocked, and after taking a few hits, grabbed his father's neck with both hands, not knowing where the strength came from, lifted my dad off the ground by gripping his neck.

My dad was also stunned at the time, thinking to himself, what is this about? Is this some kind of game? You can't play like this. You need some time to put on makeup, right? How can you go from one look to another in the blink of an eye? Are you trying to play some secret trick on me, like a face-changing act?

Sun Xiazi was anxious, as he could see that night was approaching, and the few young men were still waiting for him to rescue them. What should he do? He wanted to run, but the nurse wouldn't let him leave, making him feel restless. Fortunately, by midnight, the nurse had fallen asleep. Sun Xiazi wrapped a bed sheet around himself and quietly slipped out of the hospital, intending to go home, change his clothes, and grab his belongings, only to find that his keys had been taken by the doctor.

As soon as my mother heard this, she exclaimed, "Isn't that Sun the Blind's voice?" She hurried over to help him up and upon closer inspection, it indeed was Sun the Blind.

To say that brothers fight together in battle, and good couples stand together in the fray. When my mother saw my father being captured by Xiao Lu, she ran over like a madwoman. With a single move of the Dragon Subduing Eighteen Palms, Xiao Lu's face instantly became marked with ten deep grooves. Yet, that Xiao Lu continued to cackle ominously while tightly gripping my father.

Only an old voice could be heard shouting: "Don't hit, don't hit, it's me, oh..."

Mother turned her head to look at Xiao Lu and Xiao Wang after seeing that there was nothing significant with Father. Xiao Wang was lying on the ground, observing everything clearly in front of him. He watched as a dark shadow flew out from Xiao Lu's body at the moment he fell, while another white shadow entered Xiao Lu's body.

Mother embraced my father throughout her life. At that moment, Xiao Lu approached my father step by step, moving as if with a cerebral palsy gait.

Sun the Blind Man, while climbing up in pain and gritting his teeth, shouted for help. And the books.

When the staff at the coal management station discovered it, they thought that Sun the Blind had fallen to his death. Everyone hurriedly took Sun the Blind to the hospital. After the doctor removed his oil-soaked clothes, he briefly treated the external injuries at the joints, administered an IV, and instructed the nurse to keep a close watch on Sun the Blind to prevent him from moving around.

Without further ado, the two of them helped my father run down the mountain. But just after taking a few steps, another white figure appeared from below the slope, and the faces of the three turned pale in an instant. What is this all about? What are you doing? If death is inevitable, it shouldn't be played like this. One hasn't even gotten up yet, and another one is coming from the front. Are you all putting on a real-life version of "The Besieged City"?

He immediately delivered a slap to Xiao Lu's face, followed by a flurry of punches. Just by observing the arc of his swinging arms, one can tell that this person must possess exceptional skills

My mother truly believed that Xiao Wang had just fainted and was getting back up, so she asked, "Xiao Wang, are you alright?" Xiao Wang, blushing, replied, "I'm fine; I just fainted from the scare"

Do you want to know why they are moving in a zigzag? The previous text mentioned that this young Wang has a disability; since childhood, he has been walking on tiptoes. Do you know what walking on tiptoes means? It means limping, feeling as if one leg is longer than the other. When he runs, he bounces and sways, so can you imagine him walking in a straight line? However, the white figure opposite him also seems to have a problem with their legs, swaying from side to side, and from a distance, it looks like these two are dancing a folk dance together.

At that moment, Xiao Lu slowly turned his face. My mother, illuminated by the moonlight, saw that Xiao Lu's eyes and nostrils were bleeding. A strange smile appeared on his face, and blood flowed from his mouth like ketchup. He let out a bizarre laugh, reminiscent of a cat scratching glass.
