"What?! He, such a young child, turns out to be mute?"
Hearing the surprise in the voices of Guan Heng and others, the old man Yi also sighed and said: "Our residence, Shuangjing Jian, is only a few steps away from here. Everyone who has come from afar, please come to my house for a drink first. Get some water and have a rest. As for this child’s matter, if you don’t mind my verbosity, let’s talk slowly on the way.”
Guan Heng and others nodded when they heard this, and followed the other party's lead to the north. Not long after, they arrived at this small village called "Shuangjing Jian". At Uncle Yi's house, everyone was naturally warmly entertained and learned how the little boy Yi Shan became mute.
It turns out that there are only a few dozen families living in Shuangjingjian, a remote place. There are two very unique ancient wells here, which are overflowing with clean water all year round. The whole village's drinking water is scooped directly from these two wells.
But more than four years ago, the old well at the east end of the village suddenly dried up, and the water in it disappeared. At that time, Yi Shan, who had just turned one year old, was running around and fell into the dry well. Fortunately, The bottom of the well was covered with wet mud, and when the child fell in, he was almost unscathed.
But when Yi Shan was rescued by the adults, he couldn't speak anymore and always sat quietly somewhere in a daze. Something like this happened to the child, which made Uncle Yi and his family very sad.
"I fell into a well and was unharmed, but I lost the ability to speak. It's strange..."
Guan Heng hooked his fingers at Yi Shan in front of him, and the child immediately ran to him. Guan Heng stroked his head and said, "The child looks smart and lively, no different from normal people. Uncle Yi, don't you Haven’t you ever thought about finding someone to cure his deafness?”
"Well, of course I'll find someone to think of a solution..." Just as Mr. Yi said this, there was a knock on the door suddenly: "Dong dong dong——"
Someone else shouted loudly: "Hey, Old Man Yi, are you at home? I'm here to see what's wrong with Yi Shan. Please open the door."
Hearing this man's voice, Yi Lao's face immediately showed a look of dumbfounding. He muttered: "Look, someone willing to treat Shan'er has arrived."
Reaching out to open the door, there was a smiling young man in his thirties with a medium build standing at the door. He glanced into the room and said, "Hey, your house is really lively today. There are giant tigers and strange horses lying at the door. There are so many guests in the house.”
"Haha, come on, brother Gao, please come inside." The visitor was a guest. Old Man Yi let the person into the house, and then introduced to everyone: "Everyone, this is Gao Jiu from the Cabinet Mountain Wu Clan tribe. 'Brother, you happened to be passing by our Shuangjing Stream and planned to stay for two days before leaving."
Guan Heng smiled slightly and clasped his fists and said, "It turns out to be Brother Gao from the Cabinet Mountain tribe. What a coincidence, we are going to Cabinet Mountain."
"It turned out to be a friend who planned to go to the Wu clan. Gao Jiu is polite."
This young man smiled and seemed very friendly to everyone he saw. After everyone announced their names, Gao Jiu said: "It's a pity that I just came out of home, otherwise I would have accompanied you back to Cabinet Mountain. By the way, do you have any acquaintances in the Wu clan?"
"Yes." Tian Lin said with a smile at this time: "We know the three sisters of the Yugui Long family, Long Jiazi, Long Xinzi and Long Ruizi, in addition to Long Cheng and his fiancée Hu Lan..."
"Long Cheng?! He's not..." Gao Jiu's face changed slightly at this time. Guan Heng saw this and said: "I know what you want to say. The three Long sisters escorted Long Cheng's body to Tushan to merge with his soul. These are We all know it, because I am the one who recovered Long Cheng’s soul body.”
"Hahaha, I know you are not simple. It turns out that you are a great benefactor of the Long clan." Gao Jiu said with a smile, stroking his palms: "We in the Cabinet Mountain Wu Clan have three major surnames, the Ghost-controlling Long clan, the corpse-controlling Ke clan and the Liang clan. The three surnames of Yi Gao are all closely related by blood, and the current patriarch Gao Fu is my uncle."
After hearing this, everyone suddenly realized that this person knew a lot of things and turned out to be a relative of Patriarch Gao.
Gao Jiu took off the gourd from his waist and took a sip of wine. He then said: "I just left Aishan Mountain a few days ago. Before I left, my uncle also told me that a group of people came to help Yu." The Guilong clan has been here several times, and it turns out to be all of you, haha, it’s amazing.”
Hearing this, Agou, Tianlin and Ruotao all smiled slightly, and Guan Heng said nonchalantly: "Those are just a small effort, it can't be said to be a big deal."
"That's not what you're saying. The Wu Clan in Cabinet Mountain has clear grievances and grievances. The three surnames Long, Ke and Gao are like one family. If you help the Long family, you are helping the entire Wu clan. We will definitely remember this kindness."
As soon as Gao Jiu said this, he suddenly saw the lion cat Yuan Xie in Ruotao's arms. He said with some confusion: "It's strange. I see that around the neck of that cat is a copper ring specially used by the Wu clan to raise monsters." ,Could it be that……"
"You're right. Just before, we passed by a stone house and rescued the fat cat. We also found the relics of a senior from the Wu clan named 'Long Xing'." Guan Heng held Yuan Xie's hand at this moment. The fat face said: "Brother Gao, do you know this senior Long Xing?"
"I don't know. As far as I know, there is currently no one with this name among the Yuguilong clan." Gao Jiu shook his head and said: "It is probably the senior who disappeared due to an accident a long time ago. You still have this one?" After Cabinet Mountain, go find someone from the Long family to confirm, and I won’t be able to help you much.”
"Well, it doesn't matter. We'll talk about the matter of Youxie after we get to Cabinet Mountain." Guan Heng asked curiously: "Just now you said you could cure Yi Shan's child's mute disease. Is that true?"
"Well..." Gao Jiu's face turned red, he scratched his head and said with a look of confusion: "Actually, I'm just speculating, because there are several important things needed to cure this child, and they haven't been found yet. "
As soon as he said these words, the one with the ugliest expression was of course Old Man Yi. The old man's eyes clearly showed a bit of disbelief, but he did not say anything.
Agou also became interested at this time, so he asked: "Brother Gao, what are those things you mentioned?"
Upon hearing the other party's inquiry, Gao Jiu immediately said: "Actually, when I discovered Yi Shan's child's condition, I had already started to collect materials, including red thistle grass from the nearby mountains and the flesh and blood of several monster beasts, but the most important thing is Something slipped out of my hands."
It turns out that the Gao clan of the witch clan, who was born in Gaojiu, is best at various sacrifices and healing the sick. After observing the condition of the child Yi Shan, he felt that the reason why Yi Shan became mute was inseparable from the dry Shanggu well. Relationship.
Generally speaking, the ancient artifacts that have survived for thousands of years have some spirituality, especially the ancient wells connected to the earth's veins, which can produce a kind of "well black crystal".
