Chapter 23 Chapter 23: Insects

Holding a scalpel, I gestured at Qiu Jiujiu for a while, and then said, "Hey——I said grave diggers!" "I touch gold, I want to be called Lord Jin..." Even at this time, Qiu Shijiu refused to take any losses, gritted his teeth and endured the pain, and retorted. "It's all the same. Touching money and fighting, moving mountains and unloading mountains are all terms you all use, but in fact they are all digging graves..." I smiled, "You have a good attitude. I am a doctor, and I will tell you clearly , you are infected with corpse poison, and you don’t know what kind of weird and vicious worms got into your blood, if I don’t take action, you will definitely not be able to see the sun of tomorrow!”

I'm telling the truth, it's one thing to save him, but it's important to ask for my own opinion, otherwise, if this old boy dislikes his life and gets tired of working, and doesn't want me to treat him, wouldn't I be working in vain and recruit a Heaps of resentment? "I haven't seen the sun for a long time!" Qiu Jiujiu groaned in pain and said in a low voice. "Well, once your corpse poison is exposed to the sun, it will die faster!" I nodded and said, "I can cure your corpse poison, of course, that's a later story, my top priority now is to help you Get the worms out of your body."

"Thank you!" Qiu Nineteen endured the pain and thanked me. "You're welcome!" I smiled, raised the scalpel as I spoke, and said, "In this environment, as you know, I don't have any disinfection equipment, not even a little alcohol, so once Bacterial infection is a little troublesome!" "It won't be worse than what I am now!" Qiu Shijiadao gritted his teeth and said, "You can rest assured that if you die, this is a ready-made tomb, so it will save a lot of trouble!" "Alright then!" I nodded, and slashed down on his abdomen with the scalpel.

That Qiu Nineteen can be considered tough, when I sliced ​​open his abdomen with the scalpel, his whole body convulsed with pain, but he just grunted and didn't even move for a while. "Don't be nervous, the more nervous you are, the more painful it will be!" As I spoke, I was already holding small tweezers and searching in his abdomen. Soon, I found the long, blood-red, bulging insect. I took the tweezers and clamped the insect, and with some effort, I pulled it out from Qiu Shijiu's abdomen. At first glance, this thing is blood-red all over, but when I look closely, it doesn't look like it. I took a flashlight to shine on it. Once this thing leaves the human body, it moves extremely slowly. It lies on the ground, wriggling, It looked extremely bulky, and wherever it passed, it left a blood-red trace, which was obviously human blood.

This guy didn't know how much human blood he had sucked on Qiu Nineteen's body, and his body was so bloated, why he couldn't even crawl?Strange, no matter how you look at this thing, it looks a bit like a leech, but the leech is not so powerful, and it is definitely not so big. Could it be that this is a mutated species of leech? As I thought about it, I took the tweezers and flicked the thing again. Sure enough, the more I looked at that weird worm, the more I thought it was a leech, but it was different from a leech in many ways. Ordinary leeches are three to four times larger, and the body of the leech is smooth. This thing is actually covered with thin scales, twisting its body, with black and red markings, and it is indescribably disgusting.

I put aside the mutated leech, took out the suture thread, and sewed up Qiu Jiujiu's wound, and said with a smile, "Your boy is really lucky to meet me, otherwise, do you know... you will confess here tonight?" "Hey..." Qiu Nineteen just laughed, probably because of the severe pain, he didn't say anything. In order to distract him, I sewed up his wound and asked again: "You were fine just now, why did you run away? Also, where did you go to provoke such underground worms?" "I... I saw a shadow behind you just now..." Qiu Jiujiu asked, and said in a low voice of horror, "Bai Shengsheng doesn't look like a living person..."

"Shadow?" I frowned, and asked, "Why didn't I see it?" When he said this, my heart was pounding, and a cold sweat broke out on my back. , A total of only four stitches were sutured. In order to relieve the tense atmosphere, I said with a smile, "It's just a minor operation. The operation of caesarean section is much bigger than your operation..." "What they took out of their stomachs is a child, what is this?" Sure enough, Qiu Shijiu heard this and was a little dumbfounded. "Okay, you've been disemboweled!" I said as I took out the golden needle from Qiu Shijiu's body.

Qiu Jiujiu is much stronger than I imagined. After the operation was completed, he struggled to get up from the ground. I pointed to the mutant leech on the ground and said, "Look, this is the thing that got into your body." Inside, don't look at its lifeless appearance now, once it penetrates into the human body, along the meridians, the speed is very fast, it penetrates into the heart, and the Immortal Da Luo descends to earth, you can't save you!" "This thing - leech?" Qiu Jiu stared at that thing for a while, then raised his head and asked me. "It's probably a mutated species of leech. In this dark underground world, everything is possible..." Before I could finish my sentence, suddenly, a gloomy wind blew through the underground palace, and I suddenly felt cold all over the place.

I couldn't help but look at Qiu Nineteen. This guy still has a disheveled face, and his tattered clothes cover up the traces of corpse spots all over his body, but it is obvious that there is a flash of surprise in his eyes, and he must have felt such a strange feeling the wind. "What's the wind, it's so cold?" Qiu Jiujiu said suddenly. I was about to speak, when suddenly there was a whoosh under my feet, and it seemed that something ran past my feet. next to the coffin lid. I have always suspected that there is a living person in that coffin, and I even have a weird feeling that the person in this coffin seems to have some kind of special connection with me, and at this time, an unknown creature is just squatting in the coffin superior.

I took a flashlight and shone it. Under the unbearably bright beam of the flashlight, it should be a little gray fox?Not big, only the size of a cat, but a pair of eyes, like a cat, with green light shining, staring at us like this. What attracted my attention was not the little fox that came out of nowhere, but the mutant leech in the fox's mouth. Yes, that's right, the leech that I took out from Qiu Shijiu's stomach just now was held in the mouth by that little fox. Qiu Jiujiu was the same as me, staring at the fox without blinking. The two of them, one fox, just watched each other in the palace of the ancient cemetery.

The little fox probably saw that we were not threatening, so he started chewing on the mutated leech in front of our face, biting loudly, and bright red blood flowed down the corner of its mouth. With a bang, it landed on the coffin. The sound was very small, but for some reason, to my ears, it was like a heavy beating in the atrium of my heart, revealing an unbelievable weirdness. I turned my head away, not looking at the little fox, and turned around to look for the ghost heart lotus in the water pavilion. My goal was to gather medicine—the ghost heart lotus was what I paid attention to. However, when I turned my head to look at the waterside pavilion, I couldn't help gasping—the ghost heart lotus that was floating on the water surface was strangely missing at this time. "Qiu Nineteen—" I turned my head and asked, "Have you ever seen a ghost heart lotus floating on the water?" "What?" Qiu Jiujiu hurriedly said, "In this underground palace, don't mention that word!" "Oh..." I know that these people who are scrambling for money have a lot of attention on weekdays, especially in the underground palace, the word "ghost" must never be mentioned. "It's a heart-shaped lotus flower, have you seen it?" "No!" Qiu Jiujiu shook his head again and again, expressing that he had never seen Guixinlian before. "It's really strange, okay, why did it disappear?" I couldn't help but start wandering around the water pavilion while I was talking. Where did this ghost heart lotus go? I've been really unlucky recently. The rare medicine either disappeared inexplicably, or was snatched away by that ghost. Thinking of this, I feel even more depressed. "Hello—" Suddenly, Qiu Nineteen called out in a low voice. "What's wrong?" I turned around and asked. "This place is very evil, let's go quickly!" Qiu Jiujiu said in a low voice, "Don't look for any lotus... This place is dark, where is there any lotus, maybe you are blind." I knew it very well in my heart, because I had just saved the life of Qiu Shijiu, and his tone was quite polite to me, otherwise, he would have probably said, I was the one to die. "You, a grave-digger, actually despise the evil spirit of this place?" I couldn't laugh or cry, this guy was probably scared stupid by the mutated locust just now, and now he is a little bit like a soldier. "Crack—creak—" Before I finished speaking, suddenly, another gloomy wind blew by. This time it was definitely not my illusion. I even saw ripples on the surface of the water, which proved that there was indeed a gloomy wind in this place. The wind, it's really strange, this place is an ancient cemetery palace, and it's still not ventilated? Immediately, there seemed to be something churning on the surface of the water. I shone it with a flashlight, and a white shadow swam under the water. I touched the position of my heart vigorously, and then retreated in embarrassment... If I'm not mistaken, it's definitely a human...ghost? "Crack—creak—" that weird voice sounded again, it seemed that something was chewing delicious food, but at this moment, it sounded like an indescribable sense of fear. What about the little fox?Could it be that it is a mutated leech that hasn't finished eating yet?I turned my head and looked at the little fox on the coffin, and that little fox was staring at me with piercing green eyes, with blood stains hanging from the corner of its mouth. At this moment, the little fox actually said It was terrifying, but the creaking sound of grinding teeth was still echoing, obviously it was not made by this little fox.
