Chapter 25 Chapter 25 The Wound

Qiu Nineteen seemed very curious, and asked, "Is there such a thing?" "Of course!" I nodded and said, "Did you see it in the water pavilion in the underground palace below?" "What did you see?" Qiu Jiujiu asked with a strange expression on his face, "What's in the waterside pavilion? Except for the coffin, there is nothing!" "In that pool!" I laughed. "That heart that looks like blood?" "Why didn't I see it?" Qiu Shijiu said, "The people in this ancient cemetery palace have been dead for an unknown amount of time, and at most there are only a handful of dry bones left. Even if the flesh does not rot, they have become zombies. What kind of bloody heart? Could it be..." At this point, he couldn't help but looked around vigilantly, especially with a lingering fear.

"No!" I shook my head and explained, "The heart in the pool just looks like a bloody human heart that has been dug out. In fact, it is a strange plant. We call it—Ghost Heart Lotus!" "There is such a thing?" Qiu Jiujiu's face was full of disbelief, "Why didn't I see it just now?" "How come?" I asked puzzled, that ghost heart lotus was floating on the pool, dripping with blood, dazzling scarlet, how could he not see it? "Maybe I didn't pay attention!" Qiu Jiujiu seemed a little absent-minded, and even looked at me a little bit dodgingly.

My heart moved, could it be that this guy is still hiding something from me?However, he was suffering from corpse poison, after all, he wanted something from me, so I wasn't afraid that he would spoil me, so I thought for a while and said, "It's getting late, I'm going back, I live in Wu Village, how about you come with me? " "I'd better hide here!" Qiu Shijiu said, "If I look like this, if I go somewhere with people, I might be treated as a living ghost!" "Okay then, tomorrow after sunset, I'll go to the mass grave to find you!" I said.

"Yeah!" Qiu Jiujiu nodded and said, "To the east of the Mass Burial Mound, there is a broken monument, and I am near that." "Okay!" I nodded, "That's it, I'm leaving first, see you tonight!" Qiu Jiujiu agreed, still lying on the ground without moving, I ignored it, got up and walked outside, it was almost dawn, if the old village chief got up and found that I was not in the room, he would not be able to explain it at that time Clearly, it is not beautiful to cause misunderstandings. This time, although the mountains were filled with thick fog, nothing happened when I passed through the mass graves, and even the strange footsteps did not resound again, so I almost went smoothly Back to Wu Village.

But just as I walked to the corner gate of the old village chief’s house, about five or six steps away, in the thick fog, I saw the door in a daze, and it seemed that there was a person standing there. I stopped involuntarily, and thought to myself: "Oops, did the old village chief wake up early in the morning?" Due to the dense fog, I couldn't see clearly, and, for fear of being discovered, after passing through the mass graves, I turned off the flashlight in the dim morning light. At this time, I stood still and thought about it. Keeping the wording, how will I explain it to the old village chief later?

After much deliberation, I finally made up my mind. If the old village chief asked me, I would say - some special materials are needed to heal Daniel, so I went out in the middle of the night to look for them. Although I did go out to find medicine, it's just that what I was looking for wasn't the medicine to cure Da Niu. But I took another two steps forward, but I felt something was wrong. The man just stood there, motionless, and judging by his figure, he didn't seem like an old village chief. Besides, even though the sky is still dark and the fog is thick, since I can see the blurred figure, there is no reason why the old village chief can't see me?The man just stood there at the door, motionless.

I thought about it, stood still, and asked in a low voice, just to be on the safe side: "Who?" The man stood in the thick fog, still motionless, but he didn't answer me. I frowned. Seeing that the man's figure definitely didn't look like the old village chief, I hesitated for a moment. Thinking about it, it was almost dawn, and there was nothing good about it. Terrified, he strode up immediately. On the ground about two steps away, I stopped, and the man seemed to have noticed me, jumped up with a whoosh, and then, at an extremely fast speed, headed towards the back of the village run away.

fool? I was stunned for a moment, it was definitely a living person, but he was wearing tattered clothes and a disheveled face, which was comparable to Qiu Shijiu. It's around thirty, maybe not yet, although in the thick fog, I couldn't fully see his face clearly, but in his eyes, the moment he saw me, there was obviously an unspeakable panic. This man is absolutely insane. I'm a doctor, so I can see and hear and ask - such a disease can be known at a glance. In big cities, due to various reasons, occasionally there will be such lunatics, and then they will be rejected by their families, and will not be sent to the hospital for treatment, and then they will just wander outside, no different from beggars, or even worse than beggars.

But I didn't expect to meet such a person in such a mountain village. Thinking of this, I walked to the door and looked at it. Fortunately, the lunatic thought he was sleeping by the door. He must have fallen asleep at first and didn't notice me. Later, when I spoke, I scared him away. I still opened the door latch with a small knife, quickly dodged in, closed the door, and just lay down on the bed, an indescribable exhaustion hit my heart, I didn't care about thinking about it immediately, and fell asleep in the end. I don't know how long I slept this time. Anyway, I was woken up by the old village head.

Seeing the old village chief standing in front of me, I was a little embarrassed, and said with a sneer: "Hi old village chief, what time is it?" "It's almost noon, hurry up and eat!" The old village head was kind-hearted, smoking a dry pipe, and the smoke was lingering. "I slept late last night, I don't want to be late today!" I explained embarrassingly. "It's okay, young people, you should sleep well!" The old village head was smiling, which made people feel comfortable. I got up in a hurry, and went to the village head’s backyard to fetch water to freshen up. After tidying up, I took out the medicine from the backpack and changed the dressing for the wound on my leg.

This is a big deal. The weather is hot now, and I'm a restless person. I didn't pay close attention to the injury on my leg. If the wound is infected with bacteria, the problem will be very serious. But the village chief didn't know what kind of mentality it was, so he kept following me around, watching me sitting on a bamboo chair, untiing the gauze and changing the dressing, and immediately asked directly: "Young man, your wound, doesn't it look like a wound?" Was it a bruise?" "Uh..." I was speechless for a moment, my wound was naturally not bruised, but bitten by a corpse crocodile. "This wound seems to be bitten by something?" The village chief squatted down, held my foot, and shouted, "Young man, don't move, let my old man take a look—" "It's okay!" I said while changing the medicine. But the old village head was not relentless, he pushed my hand away and said, "Young man, tell me the truth, what kind of thing did you get bitten by? It doesn't look like it was bitten by a dog. It's rare to say it's a beast in the mountains? No , it’s not right—this thing is smaller than a beast, but it’s obviously very vicious..." "A kind of monster!" I sighed softly. I couldn't explain things like corpse crocodiles to the village chief—but fortunately, these underground creatures are all invisible, so they don't Will crawl out of ancient tombs, endangering villagers. "Can eat people?" The old village chief let go of my feet and asked me to apply the medicine. After filling a pot of shame with a match, he squatted beside me and started smoking. I didn't make a sound, this thing, of course, can eat people, and it cannibalize people without spitting out bones, it's extremely ferocious, if I didn't run fast, I'm afraid there won't even be a few bones left. "Young man!" The village chief asked me, smoking a cigarette, and the smoke filled the air, "tell the old man the truth, don't hide your wound from me, it's obviously bitten by some monster, and it should be the two What the hell, should this monster haunt our village?" "Yes!" I nodded honestly, "It's near the Red Lotus Temple." "Then why did you lie to me that it was a bruise on a rock?" The village chief raised his head and stared at me and said, "You must know that it is very dangerous for unknown and ferocious monsters to appear in the mountains. Our village relies on hunting for a living. , Honglian Temple is not far from our place, if this thing runs into the village and bites the boy and woman, what should we do?" "That thing won't come out, the village chief can rest assured!" I sighed softly, "That thing belongs to the underground genitals and cannot move in the sun." "Oh?" The village chief was stunned, and it took him a long time to ask, "Are you sure?" "Well, I'm sure!" I nodded seriously. The old village head's heart is really admirable. If there is nothing to do, he always thinks about the safety of everyone in the village. In order to make him suspicious, I explained: "To tell the truth from the village chief, I came to Guimang Mountain to find some ghost medicine. There is an ancient tomb near Honglian Temple. The village chief also knows about it?" "You actually do such a thing as digging graves and stealing graves?" The village chief frowned, his expression not very good-looking. This old man's thoughts were written all over his face, and his temper was so upright. I looked at it funny, shook my head and said: "Of course I don't do that business of digging graves and robbing graves. It's just some ghost medicine, which grows in dark places underground. In the tomb, the feng shui is excellent, coupled with the nourishment of Yin Qi, it is more suitable for the growth of ghost medicine, and the ancient tomb next to the Red Lotus Temple was obviously dug by others." "Yeah!" The old village head nodded, "If it's just collecting herbs, that's fine, as long as you don't make a fuss, it's fine. You haunt ancient tombs in the mountains. It's not easy to find a medicine, and it can cure your illness." It’s even more difficult for a living person.” I just smiled and didn't know what to say. It was obvious that the village chief hated tomb robbers very much. Fortunately, I didn't bring Qiu Shijiu, a professional grave digger, back to the village. "What is that?" The village chief pointed to the wound on my leg and asked. "Corpse crocodile!" I smiled wryly.
