Late at night, Xisai Mountain, outside the camp.
The expressions of everyone present changed drastically because we thought of the same possibility.
My voice trembled and I asked, "Can't you? Give me your head! That man has been dead for thirty or forty years!"
He knitted his head and brows and said, "No one should sleep tonight. Wen Bin, go find more firewood and make the fire stronger."
An hour later, we sat on the ground, gathered around the fire and sipped hot water.
It was midsummer, and the cicada monkey's cries kept coming from the mountains, and the crackling of dry firewood was heard. Brother Yu held a cup of water and said: "Yang Jun's sitting tank and body suddenly disappeared a few days ago. What do you think... ..Is it possible that he is actually still conscious and that he planned to steal our things?"
I took a deep breath of cigarette to refresh myself: "Brother Yu, don't be scary. I was sure that there was a mummy in the pottery jar. The skin on his body was dehydrated. He had been dead for at least several decades."
The little Taoist priest held the cigarette I gave him in his hand and said, "I think it's not difficult to explain this. It's because you said that the man named Yang Jun was too obsessed with the ancient tomb and his ghost lingered after his death. This state is called "bardo body" in our Taoism. It is actually a kind of ghost, not a human being.
Seeing that Xiaoxuan's expression was not good, the little Taoist flicked the ashes of his cigarette and said immediately: "But don't be afraid, I'm here. As long as he dares to show up, I will immediately use the Taoist secret method to beat him to death!"
I was about to scold the little Taoist for talking nonsense, but Xiaoxuan spoke first and said, "Stinky Taoist! Please stop talking nonsense here, okay!"
The little Taoist priest immediately said: "Just because I haven't seen it before, it doesn't mean I don't have it! Beauty, I'm not talking nonsense! I really know how to control thunder. If you don't believe me, try it!"
The little Taoist took a deep breath, waved two palms in the air, and suddenly put his hand on Xiaoxuan's chest. He raised his eyes and asked, "How are you, beauty? Do you feel the thunder? Do you feel a warm feeling in your chest now?" "
I ran over, slapped the little Taoist priest on the head, and yelled, "Fuck you! You don't want to live anymore, do you?"
The little Taoist priest covered his head and smiled apologetically at me: "Don't be angry, don't be angry. Seeing that everyone is not in a high mood, I made a joke to liven up the atmosphere."
"But seriously..."
The little Taoist suddenly looked seriously: "There really are ghosts in this world, you have to believe me."
As soon as he finished speaking, a strong wind suddenly blew and blew the campfire into pieces. I quickly kicked the firewood back.
"Where's Dou Sprout? Isn't this kid asleep again?" I asked.
Brother Yu looked back at the tent: "Ya Zai said he was not feeling well and was resting."
"Nonsense! He's just lazy again! Don't even sleep at night after talking about it!"
I ran over and took a look and found that Dou Sprout was sleeping with his quilt covered. I opened the quilt angrily.
I was stunned.
Dou Yazai's eyes were closed, his face was pale, but his lips were as purple as grapes. He had his arms folded, his whole body was shaking, and he was shivering.
"Ya Zai!"
This scene scared me. I slapped his face hard, but Dou Sprout didn't respond and was still trembling all over.
I immediately shouted: "Botou! Boss! Come here quickly! Something happened to Bean Sprouts!"
A group of people gathered around in a hurry. Xiaoxuan checked and found that Dou Sprout had peed his pants. The lower half of his pants were wet!
The little Taoist priest knew some medical skills. He took Dou Sprout Zai's pulse and immediately said anxiously: "I have a low fever! The pulse is fast and slow! It beats four times and stops on average! This is a symptom of poisoning! It may be some kind of poison!"
"Did you accidentally get bitten by a snake? There are poisonous snakes in this mountain!" Brother Yu said nervously.
"No! It's definitely not a snake!"
I recalled: "It was yesterday! There were those white centipedes in the tomb yesterday!"
Xiaoxuan said anxiously: "Don't worry about snakes or centipedes! In short, saving people is the most important thing now! Find a way to save people quickly! Or send them to the hospital!"
"That's too late!"
The little Taoist priest said anxiously: "I see that his pulse is beating thirty times a minute at most! And it's still falling! It takes three and a half hours at the fastest from here to the hospital in the city! I'm afraid no one will be able to wait until he is sent to the hospital. It’s so cold!”
"What do you want me to do? Don't count on me!"
The little Taoist priest said loudly: "I only know a little bit about medical skills! I don't know how to detoxify this kind of centipede poison!"
Dou Sprouts' condition was getting worse and worse, and his situation was critical. Suddenly I thought of someone, and I ran out immediately.
"Yunfeng, where are you going!" Brother Yu called me.
Without looking back, I shouted, "Wait for me for a few minutes! I'll be right back!"
"Where's the signal! Damn it! Come on, get the signal!"
I ran up and down looking for cell phone signal.
I need to call Dr. Fan for help. I have called her several times before! Divine Doctor Fan is currently traveling with the King of Swords on the southwest border, and the signal there is also very poor! If you can get through once in ten calls on average, that’s pretty good!
After constant dialing attempts and with good luck, I finally...
"Yunfeng? Why are you calling me so late?" On the other end of the phone, Divine Doctor Fan's voice didn't sound very clear and was a bit choppy.
"Sister Fan! This is an emergency! Listen to me first!"
"Meet Dou Sprout! He's been poisoned! He was bitten by an unknown white centipede yesterday! Now he's in serious condition! He's unconscious! His lips are purple! He's shaking all over! He has a low-grade fever that won't go away!"
"Centipede bite? Where are you?"
"We are in the Huangshi area of Hubei Province!" I said urgently.
On the other end of the phone, Divine Doctor Fan asked doubtfully: "Hubei? I remember that there don't seem to be such poisonous centipedes in that area. Yunfeng, listen up, you can try this..."
I wrote down the detailed steps, thanked him and hurried back. It was all because of Dou Sprout's stupidity! He shouldn't have touched the white centipede at all!
According to Dr. Fan's method, after I returned, I teamed up with Brother Yu to carry the bean sprouts out in a hurry, tied him up with a rope, and put his head down, feet up, and stood upside down under a tree. This was to let the blood flow in the body. Backflow.
Then the troops were divided into two groups. The little Taoist priest and I went down the mountain overnight to find an old rooster at a nearby villager's house. Brother Yu and Xiaoxuan went together to find camphor tree leaves in the mountains.
The method given by Doctor Fan to detoxify centipedes is to boil a rooster's head with camphor leaves in a large pot, and then pour camphor tree water into the bean sprouts until he drinks it and vomits.
The little Taoist priest and I hurried to the village at the foot of the mountain. It was already late at night, close to two o'clock.
This is a small village with a population of more than 200 households. At this time, everyone is resting. The doors of every household are closed, and the village looks deserted.
"Xiao Xiangzi, how can we find out who has an old rooster? Should we knock on the door and ask?"
I hurriedly said: "Time is tight, let's search separately! You go to the west and I will go to the east! Take a walk around the village! There are many chicken pens set up in front of the house! No matter whether you find it or not, we will meet in twenty minutes!"
The bean sprouts are not in good condition, so they may not be able to wait too long, so they have to be quick.
Then we separated, the little Taoist went to the west end of the village, and I went to the east end of the village.
About ten minutes later, I was about to climb over the wall and enter the yard of a house. At this time, I heard a burst of rapid footsteps and the barking of a dog.
When I looked back, I saw the little Taoist priest running towards me very fast!
His face was pale, with a few chicken feathers falling from his hair. He was holding a big rooster in his left hand and right hand, and behind him, two big yellow dogs were barking and chasing him!
"Xiaoxiang! Run! Two crazy dogs!"
I grabbed him and turned around to stare fiercely at the two big yellow dogs.
The big dog grinned! The eyes are fierce! There were bursts of low screams coming out of his mouth, and saliva was falling down from his mouth.
The little Taoist priest is afraid of mad dogs, but I am not! If I am afraid of two dogs, it will only make people laugh.
I stood still, staring at the two mad dogs from afar.
After two minutes, I suddenly waved my right hand!
The two dogs were so frightened that they immediately turned around and ran away with their tails between their legs.
Seeing the situation, the little Taoist priest breathed a sigh of relief and said: "I was bitten by a dog when I was a child, so I am still afraid of dogs. Xiao Xiang, you still understand dogs, you are awesome!"
"The chicken was stolen?"
"You're talking nonsense. It wasn't stolen. Could it be that it was given as a free gift?"
I nodded: "It's important to save people! Let's go back quickly! I'm afraid Dou Sprout won't last long."
We carried the rooster and walked to the entrance of the village. There was a small stone bridge. From the stone bridge, we could cross the path and go up the mountain.
Sudden.
My pupils contracted because I saw a man in black standing on the bridge.
The man in black was holding a long knife and slowly turned his head to look at us.
The little Taoist priest immediately stood in front of me, took a stance, and looked at the man in black with narrowed eyes.
A few dozen meters away, I saw the man in black slowly raising the knife and placing it on his neck.
The next second, he cut off his head bit by bit! He held his head in his hands!
Then, he slowly put his head back on his head and twisted his neck left and right!
When the little Taoist priest and I saw this scene, our eyes widened at the same time!
The man in black twisted his neck twice, turned around and jumped under the bridge. The little Taoist priest and I ran over to take a look.
There is no one under the bridge.
I patted the little Taoist priest and said with trembling lips: "Hey, please twist my arm and see if I'm dreaming."
The little Taoist priest's face was pale at this moment. He turned to look at me and said: "You are not dreaming, I saw it too, little Xiangzi, we may have really seen a ghost..."
