Chapter 8 Insomnia

After slowing down in the car for more than half an hour, my hands and feet gradually stabilized, but a pair of palms were still like roasted on the fire, and there was also a feeling in my body.

Su Jing solemnly warned me, "Don't use sword spirit at will in the future, otherwise you will be disabled, and if you are serious, you will die."

I was shocked and said, "Is it so serious?"

Su Jing said, "You are still an ordinary person now. With such a body, you can make such a grand sword spirit, just like wrapping a ball of charcoal that seems to be extinguished in a paper box. If you don't move, you will have to worry about your life, let alone blow on it with your mouth."

I said tremblingly, "What should I do now?"

Su Jing said, "The most urgent thing is to get back the attributes of Liu Hitachi."

I shivered and said, "Let's go and see Liu Hitachi!"

......

When the car arrived at Mouse Street, I came to Liu Hitachi's clothes stall according to the last route. Liu Hitachi's wife sat there with the child in her arms and was breastfeeding. She still remembered Su Jing and Su Jing. When she saw us coming, she smiled silently at us.

I greeted her loudly: "Sister-in-law, is my brother Liu there?"

Liu Hitachi's wife hurriedly put a finger to her mouth: "Shh, keep your voice down, he just fell asleep."

I said inexplicably, "What do you sleep in broad daylight?"

At this time, Liu Hitachi sighed and said, "I didn't fall asleep at all - who is looking for me?"

I was shocked as soon as I saw him come out. In just over a month, Liu Hitachi seemed to have completely changed. First of all, he lost weight. When I first saw him on the bus, he was also a man, but now he was so thin that he was skinny and his chin was pointed at the neckline. Then, he seemed to be indescribable. Liu Hitachi's eyes were blood red, but his eyes were wide open, and the blood vessels in his temples bulged out. When he looked at people, he was absorbed, as if he wanted to quarrel with you.

I was shocked: "Brother Liu, why did you become like this?"

When Liu Hitachi saw me, he said hello to me, and then sighed, "I don't know either."

I asked, "What's going on?"

Liu Hitachi's wife looked depressed and said, "Don't mention it. Our family has been unlucky recently. Your brother Liu has just got cancer and has a strange disease again." Saying that, he was about to cry.

I scratched my head and said, "Brother Liu, you won't dye anything outside..."

Liu Hitachi shook his hand vigorously: "Don't talk nonsense, it's not like that!"

"What's wrong with that?"

Liu Hitachi pointed to his scarlet eyes and said, "See, insomnia! I haven't slept for a few days."

"For what?"

Liu Hitachi complained, "I don't know. I'm so sleepy that I just can't sleep. I'm excited when I close my eyes. Sometimes I'm so tired that I can't think about anything, and my arms and legs are twitching by myself."

I wondered, "S sleepwalking?"

"No, I don't have a dream at all now, but I don't feel it. I can't close my eyes. As soon as I lie down, I jumped down."

I was more and more confused and said, "Didn't you go to the hospital to check?"

Liu Hitachi said, "I checked, the doctor couldn't say anything, just said insomnia, and gave me a bunch of sleeping pills. Every time others take half a tablet, I have to take one or two, I can barely close my eyes, and I wake up again..."

Liu Hitachi's wife said, "You don't know that now his ears are better than dogs. One day he can't sleep, I asked him what's wrong. He said that ants crawl under the bed. Don't you think it's a psychopath?"

Liu Hitachi hurriedly said to me solemnly, "Don't say, I went to see it. There are really ants crawling. That's called ten thousand horses galloping!"

I was stunned and said, "Brother Liu, don't be upset. You didn't go to check here..." With that, I carefully pointed to my head.

Liu Hitachi said unhappily, "Do you think I look like a psychopath?"

"It's not like..."

Liu Hitachi said, "If you say you can't sleep, you are in good spirits. You won't be affected by anything, and your arms and legs are more convenient than before."

I said, "But it's not a matter for you to do this. It's the same as a car that doesn't turn off the engine. No matter how good the engine is, it can't stand it."

Liu Hitachi said, "Isn't it? My heart beats 140 now."

I peeked at Su Jing. Seeing that she nodded to me, I found an excuse to say goodbye and couldn't wait to ask, "Do you know what's going on?"

Su Jing said, "It's very simple. Your current situation is that the body can't bear the heavy burden of sword spirit, and he is the heavy burden of the spirit."

"What do you say?"

Su Jing said, "The body of the sword god was originally carrying a strong sword spirit. For a long time, this body has been a big and abnormal person. After Liu Hitachi was transformed, your body still asked the current owner according to the previous habits. Without sword spirit, you can endure the painstaking efforts, so Liu Hitachi is like this."

I concluded, "I see. I'm a small three-wheeled engine equipped with an aircraft, and it broke up as soon as I ran. Liu Hitachi put the heart of a sparrow into the bear's body, and I may die from overwork at any time."

Su Jing said, "It's almost like this. If it goes on like this, I don't know how long Liu Hitachi can last, but his current situation is more dangerous than yours.

I sighed, "Why are you so twisted? I thought I had saved this buddy's life, but I didn't expect it to be counterproductive in the end - so we have to rely on Xiaoqian?"

"I hope she can succeed this time!"

......

Back to the hotel, Xiaoqian was whispering something with Liu Laoliu at a table. I accidentally said, "Are you back?"

Liu Laoliu said, "What will you do if I don't come back?"

I rushed to him and searched randomly on him: "What should I do if you don't come back? What fun can you old liar bring to me? Say, is it an expired boxed lunch or a bad-quality kitchen knife?"

Xiaoqian covered up and said with a smile, "Brother Xiaolong, Elder Liu really has a big gift for you this time."

"Well, what is that?"

Xiaoqian picked up half of the letter paper on the table and said, "Elder Liu brought the second half of the incomplete mental method last time."

I grabbed it and looked at it and said in surprise, "Really?"

Liu Laoliu said, "They have told me about Xiaoqian's first failure. It seems that the cultivation method is wrong. I specially completed the second half. With this, the probability of success next time will definitely be high."

"Who made it up?"

Liu Laoliu said, "Of course it's me."

Let me look at that half of the paper, which is vaguely Liu Laoliu's handwriting - that word is even uglier than Zhang Xiaohua's signature!

I said half-heartedly, "There won't be any problems, right?"

Liu Laoliu hummed, "Don't forget who the Sixth Master is!"

"The charlatan?" I'm not sure.

Liu Laoliu's momentum was weak, and then he said, "It's just my hobby to relieve difficulties for the common people. Sixth Master, I'm Maoshan..."

I stared at him and said, "I see how many generations you say this time!"

Liu Laoliu hurriedly smiled and said, "It doesn't matter how many generations there are. What matters is the direct transmission."

"Color blindness is still a direct transmission."

Duan Tianya said, "What is color blindness?"

"Well, it's hard to explain this to you." By the way, I told him that his accomplices took action against us today. Duan Tianya said sadly, "This is our belief in the tricolor stone, and we will die if we don't achieve our goal."

"Boh, you guys are shameless. But I also have good news to tell you. I have got back 30% of the sword spirit. According to our agreement, I can beat you soon.

Duan Tianya said blankly, "Why can't I feel it?"

Lao Wu also said, "Yes, we don't see any difference between you and before."

I sighed, "Don't mention it, it's a while."

Su Jing took Xiaoqian and asked, "Do you understand the mind given to you by Elder Liu?"

Xiaoqian said, "I just tried it, and it seems that several previous problems have been solved."

Liu Laoliu said proudly, "How's it going?"

Su Jing said nervously, "Xiaoqian, the people of the federal continent depend on you. I thank you on their behalf."

Xiaoqian said indeantly, "Sister Su, don't say that. You and Xiaolong are both my benefactors. Besides, the bad Taoist things are also because of me..."

I said, "Let's not talk about this. How long will it take you to re-cultivate?"

Xiaoqian said, "I'll work harder and try to get as early as possible."

"Thank you for your hard work!"

Xiaoqian said, "It's not hard."

I didn't expect Xiaoqian to take a serious sentence. When we got up the next day, she was still sitting at the table, with the paper in front of her, and she didn't sleep all night.

I stood at the top of the stairs and said, "You are still a quick man. It's not for you to hold on to your best, and you are not in a hurry..." I didn't finish my words. Leng Ding felt a twitching of his hands and feet, and he couldn't help but fall down with his head down. He said, "What's wrong with you?"

I sat on the stairs and felt hot and painful all over. It felt better than yesterday. Su Jing picked up my arm and touched it, and his eyebrows suddenly frowned: "No, your meridians are withering!"

I was powerless and said, "How could this happen?"

Su Jing said, "You exerted too much force yesterday, and the sword spirit has hurt the internal organs and limbs, but I didn't expect it to be so serious."

"What should I do?"

Su Jing looked deeply at Xiaoqian and said, "It seems that we have to be in a hurry now, Xiaoqian, how are you doing?"

Xiaoqian put away the paper on the table and said with red eyes, "I'm ready!"

Su Jing said, "It's not too late. We're going to find Liu Hitachi."

I waved my hand helplessly and said, "I can't drive. We need a driver."

Jin Chengwu stood up from the small restaurant and said, "I will."

Old Wu said, "I'll go with you, too." I looked at him gratefully. I knew that they were worried that Su Jing and I would go out alone and be attacked by bad Taoist again. Now I don't have the power to fight back at all, and Su Jing can't stand alone.

When he came outside, Jin Chengwu took the key from my hand, turned his finger twice and said, "I don't have a driver's license."

"...Be careful not to take off your gloves!"

Su Jing hugged my shoulder and hugged me. After getting into the car, he looked more and more solemn. I asked her, "What's wrong?"

"Your situation is slowly getting worse. I don't even know if all your meridians will wither before seeing Liu Hitachi."

I looked at her fixedly. Su Jing dodged my eyes and said, "I'm just telling the truth."

I put one hand to the back of her waist, grabbed her shoulder with the other hand, leaned my head against Su Jing's chest and said weakly, "If I'm paralyzed, you have to take care of me - I don't have a wife yet."

Xiaoqian said worriedly, "Sister Su, is Brother Xiaolong all right?"

Su Jing glanced at me and said blankly, "Look at the strength in his hand now, everything will be fine in two hours."

I was exposed and simply relied on Su Jing. Maybe she felt guilty. She didn't move, but I could see that her neck turned red...

According to my instructions, Jin Chengwu took the car very well. It was still Su Jing who took me to Liu Hitachi's clothes stand, or did his wife sit there? I asked, "My brother Liu is sleeping again?"

Before his wife could answer, as soon as the curtain opened, Liu Hitachi's hair was messy and said distressed, "I still can't sleep!"

I pointed to Xiaoqian and said, "I brought you a doctor who specializes in treating insomnia."

Liu Hitachi unexpectedly said, "So young?"

His wife asked, "Is it expensive? We haven't seen a lot of old traditional Chinese medicine doctors, and it doesn't work at all.

I sighed, "Of course, it doesn't work to see the old Chinese medicine doctor. Brother Liu can't sleep now, and it's not that he can't sleep..."

Liu Hitachi's wife: "..."

Liu Hitachi saw me lying on Su Jing and asked, "What's wrong with you?"

"Excessive force."

Liu Hitachi looked at Su Jing and looked at me again. He said ambiguously, "It's understandable that you're still young. Brother, you can't support me to introduce a few old traditional Chinese medicine doctors..."

"Don't be serious. Let's see that you can't sleep first!"

I took Liu Hitachi to the back and let him lie on the wire**. Liu Hitachi said, "How to treat it?"

Xiaoqian said, "Give me your hand." Xiaoqian took my hand, sat between me and him, and calmed down and said, "Sister Su, Brother Xiaolong, I know that I can only succeed but not fail this time, but I'm really uncertain..."

I comforted her and said, "It's not that serious. Don't have a burden. At worst, let your sister Su serve me for the rest of my life."

Liu Hitachi is better than Xiaoqian. When he saw a little girl claiming to see him, he said worriedly, "Brother, don't you want to use psychotherapy? Your sister-in-law and I have tried it. What's that called? Oh, yes, hypnotist, one by one, they are simply deceiving people with money. They will take a rope in front of people's eyes, or they will recite poems for you. The fee is expensive. If they vomit, they will charge 200 yuan from others..."

Lao Wu smiled and said, "Young man, don't worry, listen to my story about the Tao Te Ching, which will be good for you in the future." He said langly, "Tao Fei Dao is very Tao, and the name is not very famous..."

Liu Hitachi said, "This is a tongue twister."

But let alone, in Lao Wu's Tao Te Ching, Liu Hitachi quickly became sleepy and closed his eyes slightly. Although he did not sleep to death, his consciousness had gradually blurred. Xiaoqian nodded to me and began to work.

In a short time, I felt a very strange numbness from Xiaoqian's hand. It passed from Xiaoqian's left hand to my right hand, and then followed my right arm all over my body. I could detect that my body was ecstatic about its arrival like a thirsty plant. It first stopped my pain like an anesthetic. Then the sweet rain nourished my lungs and meridians like soil. I could even feel it like a small hand clenched all the veins that opened and torn me, and I breathed comfortably.

Su Jing said nervously, "How do you feel?"

I deliberately teased her and said, "No, I don't feel anything."

Su Jing frowned. When he looked at Liu Hitachi, he saw that his eyelids were getting heavier and heavier, while Xiaoqian trembled slightly all over his body, as if he had been overcharged.

I don't know how long it took. Xiaoqian's hand drooped sharply. I suddenly stood up. Su Jing was surprised and said, "How are you?"

I staggered and fell into her arms: "Oh, oh, it's not good, my legs and feet don't work."

Su Jing picked up my arm and touched it carefully for a long time, and said angrily, "Are you still pretending?"

I laughed and jumped aside.

At this time, Liu Hitachi also woke up leisurely. He grabbed Lao Wu and said, "Brother, what did you read to me just now?"

"The Tao Te Ching." Old Wu Wenwen said, "What, do you want to learn?"

"No." Liu Hitachi said, "I'm sleepy as soon as you read a few words. I'll buy a copy. I'll read it when I can't sleep in the future. It's much more useful than those hypnotists' 'flying a few seabirds in a blue sea'."

Lao Wu: "..."

Xiaoqian sat by the bed for a long time, and her face looked tired. I quickly held her and asked, "Qian, what's wrong with you?"

Xiaoqian reluctantly smiled at me: "I'm fine. It turns out that it's very tiring to succeed."

I grabbed Liu Hitachi's hand and warned him earnestly, "Brother Liu, drink less. Your body will be your own in the future."

Liu Hitachi yawned for a long time: "I'll see you off." His face is a little more tired and a little less. In time, it should not be difficult to recover.

At the clothes stand outside, Liu Hitachi's wife was persuading Jin Chengwu to buy her gloves: "In this hot day, won't you wear a pair of silk gloves? How hot is that one of you?"

Liu Hitachi interrupted and said, "What the hell? Get some more pairs for this brother."

His wife looked back and saw Liu Hitachi dozed his head little by little, and said happily, "Are you all right?"

Liu Hitachi held the door frame and yawned and said, "I'm dying of sleep."

His wife couldn't help but take out a handful of money from his pocket and stuffed it into my hand: "Thank God, it really works this time. Brother, you are a nobleman of our family."

I pushed it out vigorously: "You're welcome, sister-in-law, I really can't take this."

Seeing that I was determined, his wife pointed to the clothes stall and said, "Is that man wearing a suit?"

I smiled and said, "You're welcome."

His wife refused, so I had to pick up a long wooden handle shoe for pressing clothes from the stall and said, "Then I'll take this back to play."

Unexpectedly, his wife took a large bundle of more than a dozen from behind and stuffed them into my arms together: "This is all for you."

I couldn't laugh or cry, "Why do I need so many shoeplugs?"

Liu Hitachi said, "Take it and think about it. If you know that you can't take valuable things, let them witness the friendship between us."

"Eck, our brother is a pair of worn shoes together."

Liu Hitachi slowly slipped out of the door frame and struggled to open his eyes and said, "Come often in the future. I'll take all your clothes - I really have to go to sleep."

I smiled and said, "Go ahead and sleep with him for three days and nights."

Then we saw Liu Hitachi fall straight on ** without going back two steps, and soon snored.
