After saying that, I picked up Xiao Niya and followed the sloppy old man towards the depths of Duoqu Village.
The sloppy old man seemed to be walking slowly, but it took a lot of effort for me to keep up with his pace.
In this way, the four of us walked along the only path in Duoqu Village for about ten minutes.
After leaving those weird white houses, the sloppy old man led a few of us to a dilapidated earthen house halfway up the mountain and stopped.
The sloppy old man paused in front of the house, turned around and said to me, "Bring the children in."
After saying that, he opened the wooden door and got into the house.
After hesitating for a while, I also got into the dilapidated earth house.
This house is as shabby as it looks from the outside. Apart from a bed, two chairs, and a table, the only decent furnishing inside is the altar table in the center of the room.
The offering table is large, with a statue of the god covered with red cloth and many incense burner offerings placed on it.
The wind blew in from outside the door, and the red cloth covering the statue was blown up. I glanced subconsciously, but the red cloth only moved slightly, revealing two feet. As for the statue's It still looks like the true face of Mount Lushan has not been seen.
After the sloppy old man entered the room again, he walked straight to the bed, turned back to me and said softly: "Put that child on the bed!"
I looked at the sloppy old man and asked word for word: "Where is this place?"
The sloppy old man looked at me in surprise and asked: "Of course this is where I live. Where else could it be? After all your nonsense, do you still want to save this child?"
When the sloppy old man asked me this question, I couldn't help but be stunned for a moment, and turned my head to look at Hua Muling beside me.
Hua Muling stared at the sloppy old man in front of her. After a while, she said slowly: "Why should we believe you?"
The sloppy old man was obviously impatient with the question. He sighed and said, "If you don't want to believe me, the door is right there. You can just leave on your own. I'm not forcing you to stay. If you want to leave, , remember to close the door for me, it’s very windy here..."
After the sloppy old man finished speaking, he actually got on the bed, took off the felt blanket that seemed to have not been washed in several years and covered himself with it. After stretching, he was about to fall asleep.
When I saw this, I hurriedly said: "Old man, we didn't mean that. After all, it was our first time to meet, and there were many offending words in our words. Please don't take it to heart. It's just that this little girl was poisoned, and we didn't know Can you..."
The sloppy old man glanced at me, and then said disdainfully: "You were poisoned by the datura flower, and you said you were poisoned a little bit? Are you stupid? Or do you think I am stupid?"
I looked at the sloppy old man in surprise and asked, "Do you know what kind of poison she was poisoned with?"
The sloppy old man said calmly: "Of course!"
I then asked: "Can you explain it?"
The sloppy old man still said calmly: "Of course!"
Hearing what the sloppy old man said, the three of us all jumped up and down happily. But although we were extremely happy in our hearts, our faces looked as if they had been rehearsed in advance, with everyone showing excited expressions.
The sloppy old man saw that we had no reaction after hearing his answer. He couldn't help but look at me in surprise and asked, "What? You can't trust me?"
I smiled and said: "It's not that I can't trust you. It's just..."
I deliberately prolonged the last few words, and as expected, the sloppy old man frowned and asked, "Just what?"
I smiled and said, "It's just that this world has taught me a truth."
The sloppy old man suddenly heard what I said and couldn't help but frowned, tilted his head and looked at me, and then asked: "This world has taught you a truth? What truth? Does this truth have anything to do with me?"
I said calmly: "Of course it does matter!"
The sloppy old man seemed to be interested. He tilted his head and asked, "Since it has something to do with me, you might as well talk about it."
I said, "The truth is, there is no such thing as a free lunch. Why did you agree to help us?"
The sloppy old man looked at me, and after a while, he suddenly laughed. The laughter was weird and dry.
I'm not asking him, I'm waiting for his answer.
Sure enough, the sloppy old man stopped laughing after laughing for a while. He looked at me with a pair of knife-like eyes and said word by word: "Boy, are you asking questions knowingly?"
I looked at the sloppy old man and asked, "What do you mean?"
The sloppy old man stared at me and said slowly for a while: "You gave me money, told me the time and place, and asked me to wait for you here. Now you come to ask, why do you want to save this child?" Aren’t you asking knowingly?”
What the sloppy old man said really made all three of us jump.
Xiong Ming looked at me with wide eyes and asked, "Hu Tian, when did you come here?"
Not only Xiong Ming, but also Hua Muling next to me looked at me with an extremely surprised look, as if I was the strangest person in the world.
To be honest, not only them, but also myself was in an extremely confused state.
I looked at the sloppy old man in front of me and said in surprise: "How is this possible? How is it possible that I gave you money to wait for us here?"
I originally wanted to say something, but at this moment, little Niya in my arms suddenly began to twitch crazily, and large streams of black vomit came out of her mouth.
Seeing this, the sloppy old man said hurriedly: "There is no time to talk nonsense with you now. Put the little girl on the bed quickly."
Seeing Xiao Niya like this, I also knew that now was not the time to get to the bottom of things, so I stopped worrying, rushed to the bedside, and laid Xiao Niya flat on the wooden bed.
After laying Xiao Niya down, the sloppy old man pushed me away, stretched out his arms and took out a black and yellow cloth bag.
Opening the cloth bag, there were twenty-three silver needles, large and small.
The sloppy old man was obviously very proficient in traditional Chinese medicine acupuncture techniques. He raised and lowered the needle, and in the blink of an eye, all twenty-three silver needles were inserted into the twenty-three acupuncture points on Xiao Niya's body.
The sloppy old man's series of actions seemed to be in a movie, all done smoothly and in one go.
After sealing Xiao Niya's acupuncture points, the sloppy old man took out a red cloth bag from his pocket.
After opening it, I took out something that looked like a ginseng fruit in Journey to the West.
I saw that the thing was white and fat, and it was shaking its body in the hands of the sloppy old man. It looked so cute and innocent.
Xiong Ming asked in a low voice: "Hu Tian, what is this? Have you seen it?"
I shook my head and lowered my voice and said, "How do I know? I've never seen this thing before!"
Hua Muling whispered from the side: "This is the Snow Bodhisattva! It is a kind of rat that only exists on the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau. However, as far as I know, their number is very small, so small that many people only know it in legends." Heard of their existence.”
Xiong Ming asked in a low voice in surprise: "Rat? Do you think this thing is... a big white mouse?"
Before Xiong Ming finished speaking, the sloppy old man suddenly raised his hand and pulled off the head of the Snow Bodhisattva.
Blood gushed out like a fountain in an instant.
The sloppy old man was unequivocal, his hands were flying, one hand grabbed Xiao Niya's chin, and the other hand poured the blood of Snow Bodhisattva into Xiao Niya's belly.
Strangely enough, after drinking the blood of the Snow Bodhisattva, Xiaonia, who had been twitching all the time, suddenly stopped.
Not long after, the sloppy old man turned around and shouted to me: "Bring the wooden basin behind you!"
After I responded, I handed the wooden basin not far behind me to the sloppy old man as quickly as possible.
It was at this moment that Xiao Niya turned over suddenly, and then vomited out with a "wow" sound.
It didn't matter that Xiao Niya vomited. She vomited for more than half an hour. At first, all she vomited was some black liquid. Gradually, the color of the liquid began to become clearer. Later, it was just some white and transparent gastric juice.
Seeing that the vomit became clear, the sloppy old man let out a sigh of relief, turned around and said, "Water!"
Hua Muling responded, turned around and took an old teapot and a cup from the table.
The sloppy old man took the teapot, pointed the spout at Xiao Niya's mouth and drank.
After drinking water for a while, Xiaonia retched again, and after a while, she vomited it out again with a "wow" sound.
Just like this, after struggling four or five times, the sloppy old man laid Xiao Niya down on the bed.
The sloppy old man put his index finger and middle finger on Xiao Niya's wrist, checked for pulse for a while, then pulled out the silver needle inserted into Xiao Niya's body with his hand, wiped the hair on his head, and then slowly stood up. He said to me: "The little girl's life has been saved."
I bowed and clasped my fists and said, "Thank you, old man, for saving my life."
The sloppy old man said: "There is no need to thank me, I just collect people's money and help them eliminate disasters."
After saying that, the sloppy old man was about to walk out of the house.
But Hua Muling suddenly stopped the sloppy old man and asked, "Old man, can I ask you about someone who lives here?"
The sloppy old man was obviously stunned when he heard Hua Muling ask this question. He turned around and looked at Hua Muling and said in surprise: "What? People living here? Don't you really know that this Duoqu Village was established twenty years ago?" Are there no survivors left?”
The three of us couldn't help but be surprised by the sloppy old man's words.
Hua Muling opened her eyes and asked in surprise: "But my brother clearly told me that there is a person here named-Gelsang Jin."
The sloppy old man was obviously stunned when he heard "Gelsang Jin" and the three people. After a while, he slowly said: "The person you just said you were looking for is Kelsang Jin?"
