Chapter 7 Wings

Pingyang, China.

It has been two weeks since the last fainting, and Li Zhen’s life has changed a lot.

He moved out of Aunt Liu.

Before, he and Qi Yuanshan lived in the storage room behind the barbecue restaurant - this place was originally the residence of Aunt Liu and his wife when they first started their business. Later, they bought a house in the city, and the house was converted into a storage room. When Qi Yuanshan and Li Zhen came, they cleaned up again, added a high and low bed, and turned it into a bedroom for two.

After leaving the hospital that day, he finally gave up Aunt Liu's idea of ​​leaving another family and asked Qi Yuanshan to help her back to the store.

Later, he told Aunt Liu that his "skin disease" was transmitted to Qi Yuanshan and wanted to go out and find a house to live in. Of course, Qi Yuanshan expressed strong opposition, but Aunt Liu finally agreed.

Think about it, the reason is quite simple - although Aunt Liu also regards Li Zhen as her nephew, she is not as close as the far mountain, and it is true that she is worried about the infection.

Li Zhen did not take it to heart. It is human nature to be different from closeness and alienation. If you feel a grudge from this, it means you don’t understand the truth.

Finally, he found a house in an old residential area twenty minutes away from the barbecue restaurant. It can be regarded as a village in the city - in fact, this area was originally close to the suburbs - basically all the same tiled houses with flying eaves. The house was not big, and he brought a small yard with a pumping well in the yard, planted a sycamore tree, and a small stone table under the tree and four broken small stone benches. The environment looked quite good.

Qi Yuanshan was so envious that he shouted, saying that he would move in with him, but he was slapped by Aunt Liu and scolded him for wasting money.

The homeowner is a regular customer of the barbecue restaurant. Aunt Liu helped Li Zhen talk about the price to 180 yuan per quarter, and the deposit was waived.

In fact, this courtyard is the ancestral home of the owner and is placed here for demolition. He said he rented it out to make his personal popularity, so he installed a water heater and air conditioner for him.

After working with Aunt Liu and Qi Yuanshan for more than a day, the small courtyard had been completely renewed. Li Zhen lay on the kang, thinking about Qi Yuanshan's words when he was leaving, "I really envy you for living in a villa now." He couldn't help laughing.

A thick layer of sponge mat was laid on the kang, and all the beddings were newly purchased.

There is a TV hanging on the wall opposite. Although it is a bit old, the quality is pretty good. There is a computer desk and an old-fashioned computer next to the window on the left. The owner's son said that he couldn't play games, but it's okay to check the web page.

The outer room used to be a stove, but it was demolished forty years ago and changed into a small living room. There was an indoor bathroom next to it, so there was no need to go to the public toilet. He couldn't afford such conditions in the city center. However, everything went so smoothly here, so smooth that his mood gradually improved.

However, the reason I bought these for myself is not because I am "afraid of spreading skin diseases."

He knew what was changing his body. Everything that happened in the hospital that day confirmed his guess - the two bone bumps on the X-ray... the white hair growing out of the scapula.

If he guessed correctly...

I am growing wings.

Even though he was the one who crawled out of the grave, this fact still made him feel trembling all over.

After regaining consciousness in the grave, he was in a state of being unable to move, unable to speak, unable to see, unable to listen... for a long time.

He didn't know why his body had rotted and his mind could still think. The vitality he was sick and hospitalized was still there, but it was pitifully weak.

He was lying in the dark and suffering like that, and the pain exceeded the limit of his imagination. What he feared most was that he was just awake and kept awake. Perhaps after three or five years, he was still awake like this - he couldn't even end his life.

The terrible pain lasted for a long time until an animal came in.

After gaining freedom, he checked his coffin and concluded that it was a mouse.

It was this mouse that saved him.

The little mammal climbed onto his body and then fell into a mud. The body that was so rotten like mud tightly wrapped around it. From the melting of the first layer of fur, the power became stronger and stronger until it was digested completely.

Li Zhen finally felt a little strength-he could feel his body.

However that feeling...

He couldn't help frowning. From that mouse until he met Yu Qingqing, what happened during this period was enough to make him spit out his bile when he thought about it carefully.

Thanks to the little girl, he didn't have to wait for the rabbit in the grave. The little girl brought him four chickens, six pieces of pork, and a dead snake. I really don't know where that little girl got such courage.

Thinking back on these things, Li Zhen subconsciously looked at his hands. Now this strong and powerful body... was slowly growing by relying on those things.

He did not eat them, nor did he simply fuse them. He realized that his body seemed to transform them into a part of himself in a deeper way, even including...

The white scales on the arm - is that because of that snake?

The wings growing on the back - is that because of those chickens?

As for other things, why their characteristics did not appear in him, he thought for many days and barely came up with a not so convincing answer: because they were all mammals.

It was precisely this reason that forced him to move it out. Because he could feel that the itchy and soreness behind him had become more and more serious, just as if the things inside were about to crack the skin.

They are about to grow...

As soon as he focused his attention, the feeling of discomfort became even stronger. So he had to jump off the kang and stretch his arms a little.

In the next few days, he was idle - Aunt Liu planned to take Qi Yuanshan back to his hometown, because two days later it was Qi Yuanshan's grandmother and also the death day of Aunt Liu's mother. Before she left, she gave everyone a leave and helped Li Zhen move home and went directly to the train station.

Li Zhen walked into the small yard. The leaves of the sycamore tree were yellow and fell a few pieces, which calmed his mood a little.

He took out a box of flying clouds from his pocket.

I stared at it for a while, gritted my teeth, walked back to the house, closed the door, took a clean towel and jumped onto the kang.

He intends to confirm his other conjecture.

He took off his shirt and shivered, so he turned on the air conditioner again. He looked around and pulled up the curtains.

After repeatedly confirming that there were no missing details, he pulled out a cigarette and put it in his mouth, and with a click, lit it.
