"Uncle, are you saying that all their teams have experienced changes?"
"And the old man who led the team became younger after he came back from Xuanwu Peak?"
Mr. Miao nodded and said, "Yes, that's exactly it!"
When Li Dabao heard this, he screamed instinctively and felt that it was impossible.
Seeing that Li Dabao didn't believe it, Mr. Miao didn't explain anything. He just sighed with some fear and stood up: "I'm full, you can eat!"
After Mr. Miao left, the girl named Xiaofang also left.
Suddenly there were four of us left at the dinner table, and the other one was Mr. Miao’s wife.
Seeing that the situation was a little awkward, she smiled and said: "That damn old man is always so suspicious. Ever since what happened last time, he hasn't been well all day long. Don't take it too seriously...!"
Uncle Miao's wife is a typical image of a mountain village woman, kind and honest.
After telling us, he got up and packed his things. We are going to stay here for one night, and of course we have to pay for it.
"Okay, Li Dabao, can you change your bad habits? I wanted to find out more about what's going on here, but now..."
Li Dabao said disapprovingly: "Damn it, I didn't do this on purpose. What do you think I did?"
"Besides, what he said is too ridiculous. I understand what you said about encountering a zombie or whatever. The good guy just gave me some kind of rejuvenation. You wouldn't dare to film it in a TV series."
I hit Li Dabao and told him to keep his voice down.
After Li Dabao finished eating the food in front of him, he wiped his lips and said, "Anyway, you guys want to hear what you want. Master Bao, I'm going to bed, and I have to get up early tomorrow."
Watching Li Dabao leave, I asked Leng Yue, who was sitting silently aside, "Do you think what Mr. Miao said is true?"
Leng Yue said, "Whether it's true or not, you can find out if you ask someone else?"
After saying that, he placed the red fire ginseng pill in front of me.
When I saw Huoshendan again, I sighed and said, "When can I stop eating this bitter thing?"
"You don't have to eat now. If you want to go down early..."
"Hey, you, how come..."
Before I could finish speaking, Leng Yue had already returned to her room.
I slept in the same room as Li Dabao. Not only did this thing snore loudly, but it also had sweaty feet. The smell made me wake up even in my sleep.
After waking up, I found one of Li Dabao's thighs resting on my chest. I was so angry that I pushed him aside.
"Damn it, I wonder why I'm so stubborn at every turn."
I was no longer sleepy at all because of Li Dabao, so I wanted to get up and go out for some fresh air.
As soon as he walked out of the yard, he saw old man Miao hurriedly opening the door and walking out.
I called out to the other person.
Uncle Miao paused when he heard my voice, turned around and asked me why I got up so early.
I replied: "Maybe I moved to a new place, I'm a bit familiar with the bed..."
"What about you, what's the matter with going out in such a hurry so early?"
After hearing my inquiry, Mr. Miao showed a hint of helplessness on his face.
"What a coincidence. No, last night I just told you about the old Li who hanged himself. Today his blind wife passed away. I want to go over and help!"
Hearing Mr. Miao's answer, I quickly said that I would follow him.
Originally, Mr. Miao meant that there was no need.
I said, "It's okay. I'm young, strong, and can do some rough work. If there are no rules in your village that outsiders cannot participate."
Uncle Miao thought for a while and nodded: "That's okay, but there are some things you don't understand. Don't make the decision without permission. You can ask me first. Although our village is small, there are still many rules. That is to say, I don't have so many thing."
Faced with Mr. Miao's suggestion, I naturally nodded in agreement and promised to obey Mr. Miao's orders in everything.
Only then did Mr. Miao take me away with satisfaction.
The dead family lived in the southeast corner of the village. They were built against the mountain and were built in the standard style of stilted houses in the Miao village.
When we arrived at the place, some men in the village had already surrounded the stilted building.
When some young people saw Old Man Miao arriving, they all moved out of the way. Apparently Old Man Miao was of high seniority in the village.
Uncle Miao asked a young man wearing a jacket next to him: "What's going on inside? Where is Lao Li's baby?"
The young man replied: "I'm not sure, Grandma Ji has already gone in, but I heard that the death was very tragic, and I don't know what happened specifically."
"By the way, Mr. Miao, how did you get the news?"
Faced with the young man's inquiry, Mr. Miao snorted and said, "The village is so big and there are not many people in it. I know all the old men whose roosters lay eggs."
Uncle Miao's words made me want to laugh, but seeing that the situation was not right, I held it back.
Soon a body was carried out by two young men from the village, followed by an old woman wearing local ethnic clothes.
Naturally, the old woman knew Mr. Miao. When she saw Mr. Miao, she said directly: "The Li family's wife was killed by someone using numerology. I can't tell what kind of magic it was, but it was definitely not witchcraft. You Come up and have a look.”
After saying that, he looked at me thoughtfully, as if he was waiting for Mr. Miao's explanation.
Mr. Miao glanced at me and said calmly: "This is Comrade Chen Xu from the Institute of Geology from Beijing."
The old woman yelled, her tone slightly contemptuous.
His eyes were still looking me up and down.
I saw the other party looking at me, then stretched out my hand and said, "Hello, Granny Ji!"
The old woman did not extend her hand to shake my hand, but asked me: "Do you know me?"
I looked at the young people around me and said, "I heard them calling you Granny Ji."
The old woman hummed, turned around and left.
But before leaving, he still told Mr. Miao: "I hope it won't be like what happened a few years ago. Lao Li's wife was cursed to death. The clan leader will be here soon. You can take a look if you want."
After saying that, the old woman hunched over and left, leaving a group of people in the village arguing.
I followed behind Mr. Miao and came forward. Some young people had already lifted the white cloth covering it.
But just for a moment, he covered his mouth and ran away.
He shouted: "It's a poison, it must be a poison, it's so disgusting!"
When the young man shouted this, other people also moved forward to take a look.
Everyone who saw it ran away with ugly expressions.
Mr. Miao glanced at me and said, "Xiao Xu, you'd better not read it."
I was filled with curiosity, so I nodded and said, "It's okay, I'll just take a look. I don't understand your rules here. If it doesn't work, I won't read it."
Uncle Miao said: "It's not impossible, I'm just afraid that you will be like them and you won't be able to lose face."
As he said this, Mr. Miao squatted in front of the corpse, took one last look at me, and then slowly opened the white cloth covering the corpse.
The first thing that caught the eye was the corpse's hair, which looked greasy compared to the black hair, as if it hadn't been washed for a long time.
It also exudes a strange stench, but it seems that this stench can only be smelled at a close distance.
As Uncle Miao moved his hand, I saw the woman's face.
It was now clear why the young men in the village were vomiting.
The face that appeared in front of me could no longer be considered a human face.
Even if it weren't for the towering breasts, I wouldn't be able to tell if it was a man or a woman.
The face of the deceased was covered with blisters the size of walnuts, one after another. Some of the blisters were rotten, and a lot of yellow thick water was flowing out.
The skin stained by the thick water was all ulcerated, and many ant-like bugs laid a layer of white chaos on it. If you look carefully, you can clearly see that the eggs squeezed together are still moving.
It was like this on the woman's neck, arms, and even her entire chest. The entire corpse was so festered that it looked completely different.
But the corpse spots on my body are not very obvious, and they are not even as severe as those on my back.
This shows that the corpse before him could not have truly expired for more than six hours.
In other words, the disgusting corpse in front of me should have died within six hours, or even later...!
