Chapter 19
"What happened before? This time you ate the drop of essence and blood in Fu Fengyue's hand. When did you fight with Uncle Huang Qi last time?" Xie Tong was a little excited. Why did the good dragon turn into a snake? She was still excited for a long time.
"Maybe it's because I've eaten it before." Qu He explained with a good temper, "Before I went down the mountain, to be precise, I ate it when I was very young."
She had five drops at the beginning!
Although Qu He herself didn't know where these essences and blood came from, she had it since she had memories. When she was still in the egg, there was a voice telling her that after she broke her shell, she would eat a drop every three thousand years...
"If a thief hadn't stole the three drops of my remaining three drops, I would have eaten this third drop of essence and blood long ago!" Qu He clenched his fists, pursed the corner of his lips angrily, and was unhappy when he mentioned the thief who stole her things.
Qu He said angrily: "I didn't know why the thief didn't steal other things from me, but just stole my three drops of essence and blood. Now I know! He must have known that this is the essence and blood of the dragon clan. He knows it is a good thing, maybe..."
She looked at Xie Tong with a steady state, lowered her voice and said, "That thief is also a snake! He wants to turn into a dragon!"
Xie Tong and Huang Qi looked at each other, but they never expected that there would be such an incident.
"Then...then..." Xie Tong stuttered and didn't know what to say, and his heart was filled with loss.
She thought there were really dragons in this world.
"Then where did your essence and blood come from?" she asked.
Qu He shook his head, "I don't know, I've had it when I broke the shell anyway. Maybe it was left by my dad or my mom. Anyway, I've never seen them when I broke the shell."
Because she kept thinking so, she kept hiding very well. Unexpectedly, she hid for thousands of years and was eventually stolen.
The day when he found out that the essence and blood were stolen, Qu He almost threw up the entire mountain range.
"No..." Huang Qi suddenly frowned. He looked at Qu He with an incredible look on his face. "As you said, you have eaten once every three thousand years, and you have eaten three drops. Then aren't you almost ten thousand years old?"
"Yes..." Xie Tong also reacted, "The snake turns into a dragon for three thousand years, has a good talent, and can turn into a dragon in another three thousand years. You are almost ten thousand years old, why is it still a snake?"
Even a dragon is not considered a sacred person.
Qu He's face froze, then his ears turned red. Her eyes flashed and looked left and right, feeling ashamed and annoyed.
"I... have a bad talent!" Seeing that Xie Tong and Huang Qi were still trying to dig to the bottom, Qu He gritted his teeth and said in anger.
After saying this, Qu He simply broke the jar and gave up, "I am just dull in qualifications. It took more time to break the shell just by breaking the shell than other snakes. My parents probably disappeared before I broke the shell..."
Xie Tong and Huang Qi never thought it would be like this. Now that they heard Qu He say this, they reacted.
"No, no, no, you are already very powerful, maybe you are just accumulating strength." Xie Tong comforted, no longer caring about his loss of admitting his mistake.
Qu He responded muffled and walked outside, "That's probably what happened. I'm just a black snake with poor talent. If my essence and blood were not stolen at the beginning, maybe I could still turn into a dragon..."
At that time, she didn't know that the things in her hand were dragon's blood. Half of the reason she came out of the mountain this time was to find the things she had stolen. Now that she knew that it was dragon's blood, Qu He would have to find them even more.
Thinking about this in his heart, a hint of cruelty appeared in Qu He's eyes.
Xie Tong and Huang Qi felt that they had accidentally exposed her scars and did not dare to speak out to keep her. They could only watch her leave.
As soon as Qu He left, the two looked at each other and Huang Qi sighed, "Xiaohe must have lived a hard life before."
Most monsters emphasize that a strong man is respected, even among the same clans. As Qu He said herself, she has poor talent and has been practicing for nearly ten thousand years but can't even transform into a dragon. She must have been bullied by her clans a lot in the past.
As a demon hunter, Xie Tong knew this, and was both guilty and distressed. He suddenly stood up and said, "Now that with the demon management office, she shouldn't be bullied so easily."
Qu He didn't know what Xie Tong and Huang Qi were thinking. She calmed down not long after she left Huang Qi's ward.
After searching for a place outside for dinner, she began to search for the breath of nightmare when it dark.
Nightmare is also a kind of monster. It usually only appears at night, shuttles through people's dreams, and eats dreams. Whether it is eating beautiful dreams or nightmares, it will not harm people.
But the one that Tang Qi encountered was obviously no longer viewed with a normal perspective.
The nightmare that can harm people is a dream demon, which is already a monster. The powerful dream demon can condense entities and can also appear outside the dream during the day.
At this moment, there was no one else in Tang Qi's ward. Since he was sleepy, Xu Yanwan could only take time to see him every day, and most of her energy was still focused on dealing with those who were eyeing the Tang family.
There are bodyguards outside the door, but generally, they will not come in without special circumstances.
The ward was quiet, but the curtains pulled up automatically at some point, and the wind was stirring gently, and the light and shadow outside came in from time to time.
I don’t know when a black figure appeared in the ward.
The black shadow stood beside the bed and slowly leaned over to Tang Qi on the bed. It stretched out a hand to touch the oxygen hood on Tang Qi's face.
But its hands are not very obedient, or they have not completely condensed into entities.
It obviously wanted to open the oxygen mask on Tang Qi's face, but it could only move the oxygen mask a little, and its hands would pass directly through the oxygen mask. After trying several times in a row, the oxygen mask on Tang Qi's face moved a little bit.
Judging from this progress, if you want to completely pull down the oxygen mask on Tang Qi's face, the black shadow may not have enough time this night.
As the number of times increased, the black shadow became a little angry, and the whole figure suddenly surged a lot, and he rushed towards Tang Qi with his teeth and claws.
With a "bang", the door of the ward opened, Qu He ran in from outside, his eyes swept the ward. Except for the curtains that had slightly swayed a few times, there seemed to be no other movement in the ward.
"No one." The bodyguard who came in with her whispered.
Xu Yanwan said hello, so they didn't stop Qu He when he was about to break in.
Qu He ignored it. She did notice that strange aura appeared, which was not an illusion.
Her gaze turned, landed on Tang Qi on the bed, and walked over with her foot.
The two bodyguards behind him looked at each other and followed them. When they looked down, their faces changed when they looked down on Tang Qi's face.
"Someone has come!"
One of them immediately turned around to check the surveillance camera in the ward, and the other went to call Xu Yanwan.
Qu He was still standing beside the hospital bed, leaning over to look at the traces on Tang Qi's face.
The oxygen mask on Tang Qi's face moved a little, so some of the masks were exposed. Even if it was not that obvious, the bodyguards that the Tang family spent money to hire were not ordinary people, and they soon discovered this.
Qu He also discovered that what she discovered more than the bodyguards was the strong smell of Tang Qi on his body.
The nightmare has come.
It seems that he still wants to enter Tang Qi's dream, but failed.
Because Tang Qi was wearing an oxygen mask, and Nightmare wanted to enter the dream by entering the dream with the person's breathing. With the obstruction of the oxygen mask, Nightmare failed.
This was something Qu He had never expected before. Now that she suddenly discovered this, she found it a little funny.
"Mrs. Tang, do you have time to come and talk?" Qu He stood up, walked to the bodyguard who was reporting to Xu Yanwan, and asked her.
Xu Yanwan paused and said, "Yes, I'll rush over now."
Qu He didn't wait long before Xu Yanwan rushed over. Even though her expression could not hide her fatigue, she still cleaned up exquisitely.
"The nightmare is here tonight." Qu He thought about it and still told the culprit who caused Tang Qi to fall asleep. She said: "The other party wanted to enter Tang Qi's dream, but it did not succeed. I doubt it will come again."
Xu Yanwan held her hand tightly when she heard the word "Nightmare". She took a deep breath and looked at Qu He with a look that looked like a desperate gamble. "Qu He, as long as you can save my husband, you can do anything."
"Don't worry, you won't go back on your promise if you promised you." Qu He said.
When Xu Yanwan was about to leave, Qu He suddenly said, "Did you bring cigarettes?"
"Take it." Xu Yanwan was stunned for a moment, and soon reacted and took out the cigarette box from her bag.
She has the habit of smoking, and the cigarettes are hand-made, including cigarette boxes.
A cigarette box is a number that ordinary people can't earn in their entire lives.
Qu He reached out and took two cigarettes out of it, put them on the tip of his nose and sniffed it. It was the smell she smelled last time. She left one, put the other one back in the cigarette box, and said to Xu Yanwan: "If this cigarette is strange, it means that the nightmare is very close to you, and it is not ruled out that the other party may possess someone you are familiar with."
“I will pay attention.”
Xu Yanwan rushed over and left in a hurry. The Tang family still had a lot of mess waiting for her to clean up. The news that Tang Qi was sleeping was almost impossible to hide. Now not only the people outside were eyeing the Tang family, but even the people inside the Tang family began to feel a little unstable.
Qu He stood by the window and watched her leave, holding a slender cigarette in his hand.
After a while, she withdrew her gaze and threw the already kneaded cigarette in her hand into the trash can.
Qu He stayed in the hospital and never went anywhere. Early the next morning, Xie Song came over.
"We will be colleagues from now on." Xie Song handed over his new phone with a white hair on his back.
Qu He thanked her and took apart the phone. The phone cards were all completed. Huang Qi and Xie Songyi sat next to her left and right to tell her the basic operation of the phone.
When she clicked on WeChat, she found that she already had four friends on WeChat.
It’s easy to identify their avatars, red-billed parrots, white squirrels, and Xie Tong’s cute selfies.
