C51 (1/2)

When the taxi was halfway out, Old Wang told me to stop and said, ”Go buy a male dog of pure black and bring it back.”

”Ah?” ”Now?” I asked, surprised. I didn't want to see what time it was, it was already late at night, where would I go to buy a dog.

”Otherwise, hurry up.” Old Wang urged.

”No …”

”It's not anything. You can decide for yourself, hurry up and get out of the car.”

Before I could finish my sentence, Old Wang shoved me out of the car. He patted the driver's seat and said, ”Let's go.”

F * ck his grandpa.

I left him alone. Where am I going to buy a dog in the middle of the night? Old fellow, I don't know what to say earlier.

No matter how much you complain, this is a matter that concerns my life. I can't just give up and let it go.

Old Wang, this old brat, has sharp eyes. He only left me behind after reaching the center of the city. Although most of the shops were already closed, there were still a few that had their doors open.

I shamelessly asked from door to door and finally bought a short-haired black dog for a clothing store owner at ten times the market price. Damn, I'm sure you're telling me it's a male dog. Then he took a taxi to his house and spent two or three hours before he took a taxi home.

As soon as he entered, he saw a large wooden bucket with iron support beneath it. There was also a layer of tarpaulin around the barrel, but there were a few holes in it.

Old Wang had also set up a altar on the tea table, which was filled with oil lamps and fragrant candles. As if I had burned the paper before I came here, the house was filled with smoke, and the puppy barked twice as he entered.

”Old Wang, I'm back.” I cried.

He was just walking out of the room with something in his hand that I couldn't understand. I complained, ”I thought you were a kid that went overseas to look for something. For such a long time.”

”Why don't you try it?” I replied back, this old guy just had nothing better to say.

”Hey, don't you see how much I did while you were gone?” Old Wang pointed to the surroundings and ordered, ”Hurry, take off your clothes and enter.”

”Huh?”

I don't know why, but Old Wang turned around and glared at me. I had no choice but to obey. He then asked me if I had taken off my clothes, and Old Wang scolded me for being so brainless.

”Listen well. From now on, close your eyes and meditate. It's best to not have any distracting thoughts.” Outside, Old Wang pulled a tarpaulin over me as he instructed.

He heard the dogs outside screaming again, but they finally stopped. Old Wang poured some of the liquid into the wooden bucket. Suddenly, the smell of blood assaulted his nostrils, along with a coquettish stench.

There was a lot of activity outside, but I had no idea what it was all about. When I entered the barrel, I had already removed the bandage that had been used to bandage the wound. I could feel the heat rising and I was already sweating profusely. The wound was burning painfully, but I didn't dare to grab it with my hands.

He could feel all the blood vessels in his body expanding. The wound was moving inwards, but the insides were continuously moving outwards. The two of them collided, causing me to continuously grit my teeth in pain. I clenched my fists, not daring to open my eyes.

After an unknown period of time, the surroundings suddenly became ice-cold. It was extremely comfortable and it swept away all the heat.

Not only that, for a moment, the water in the wooden barrel started to swirl around me like waves, splashing on my body.
