Chapter Forty-Eight: The Walking Dead
Jin Xiaomei is still young in the end, not a deep-minded person, I know a lot of things about their tribe through chatting, of course, it can't be called a tribe anymore, it's more accurate to use the family.
Before the founding of the People's Republic of China, Jin Xiaomei's family was a relatively famous local family, so it accepted a high degree of sinicization, and over the past few decades, it has moved away from the inconvenient mountains and entered the mountains to live.
The last group to go down the mountain is Granny Jin's age, and it was more than ten years ago, no way, although the life on the mountain is not starving, but it is too bad, very primitive, young people can no longer bear the backwardness in the mountains after going out to break through the society, so they all moved down.
It's just that after coming down, the young people slowly lost their traditions, all kinds of traditions, and even many people couldn't even speak their own language, which naturally included the legendary Gu arts.
This phenomenon made Granny Jin and the older generation extremely sad, and decided to use her own strength to preserve some traditional things, so Jin Xiaomei was left behind after graduating from high school, instead of going out to work like everyone else.
Jin Xiaomei's life in her hometown is boring, she has to learn a lot of things, such as tea picking, weaving, dyeing cloth and other traditional skills, and it is indispensable to learn Gu art and so on.
How many young people can be at home in rural areas now, and people with a little knowledge know that they can only make money by going out to work, so usually Jin Xiaomei can't find any peers to communicate with, and there are old men and old women everywhere, and there is a serious generation gap.
What makes Jin Xiaomei even more difficult to accept is that the things she has learned are basically useless, except for the food and the nostalgia of the elderly, the rest are not appreciated, such as weaving and dyeing cloth to make their national costumes, which are handmade and produced by other factories.
It is precisely because of this kind of life that Jin Xiaomei has formed a seemingly cold, but in fact simple character, this time Granny Jin let her go out, she was actually very happy in her heart.
"Little brother, this is also in modern times, if it is ancient, you have to call me a saint Do you understand, how can you call my sister"
Speaking of happiness, Jin Xiaomei proudly told me that she has lived with Granny Jin for a long time, and sometimes she is still looking forward to ancient life, at least she can be a leftover girl.
"Just like you, you can be a saint in a few years, but it's the rest"
I complained in my heart, but I didn't dare to say this, so I had to say it perfunctorily.
"Stop, stop, ***, what are you doing, stop"
"Sister Jin, this is a highway, you can't park, ***, find the nearest exit and get off"
Chatting and chatting, Jin Xiaomei suddenly shouted, which made ***'s heart tremble, but this is a high speed, how to stop, don't you want to die, I hurriedly explained.
"Sister Jin, did you find Hu Minghai?"
I hurriedly asked again, Hu Minghai is Xia Wenhai's friend who was recruited and disappeared, today is the fifth day, I took a look at the current location, it is also four or five hundred kilometers away from Shacheng, if Hu Minghai is in the state of the walking dead, then it is almost here.
"I feel it, it's over there just now, the distance won't be far away, I can feel it directly"
Jin Xiaomei replied, if it is a few kilometers away, she can directly feel it, if the distance is far, then she will have to use some rituals to cast secret methods, of course, it is useless to use any secret methods above hundreds of kilometers.
I went down to the nearest highway exit, and then turned around and drove to a nearby village and town, not far from the highway, there is a large village and town, and the village is next to the national highway.
"Sister Jin, how to find it next"
"I don't know either"
"Ahh
"Who knew it was so big here, and there were so many people, it was annoying"
Jin Xiaomei replied, only to find out that this village and town are very large, at least 10,000 people, and the blood spider on her body has been greatly disturbed, and she can't find it at all.
"What about spellcasting?"
"There are so many people here, are you sure I can cast a spell?"
"Okay, I'll leave it to me next."
I sighed, indeed, I don't know if Jin Xiaomei casts a spell, it's not good if the movement is too big.
I discussed it with Xia Wenhai, then checked the map, and finally decided to wait for the rabbit, there is a national highway next to this village and town, which leads to Yunkong Mountain, and the rest are county roads or something, there is an intersection more than ten kilometers ahead, it shouldn't be wrong to wait there, and Hu Minghai's foot strength can't be compared with a car.
More than ten kilometers soon arrived, we parked the car on the side of the road, and then prepared to wait for Hu Minghai to walk up by himself, but it was noon, the sun was very big, Jin Xiaomei was not happy, she decided to cast a secret method.
The Gu technique was very mysterious, Jin Xiaomei didn't let us see it, she hid behind the business car and tinkered for more than ten minutes, and finally she took out a jar, the size of her palm, and as soon as she opened it, a big spider slipped out, startling Xia Zhishu and the others.
"The blood spider's range of activity is about three kilometers, it will leave a smell in these three kilometers, if Hu Minghai passes by within these three kilometers, he will be attracted to it, I hope there is still time, if it is too late, I have to go to the front to block people"
Jin Xiaomei said that the blood spider was specially trained by them, and it had a very fatal attraction to the Gu worms in Hu Minghai's body, as long as they smelled it, they would be attracted, of course, provided that Hu Minghai had to pass within a radius of three kilometers.
"You have a secret method, I have a fortune telling, I just calculated a hexagram, today is auspicious, I will definitely succeed"
I smiled and said to Jin Xiaomei, generally speaking, I rarely count hexagrams, after all, hexagram is a peek into the heavens, and I will bear cause and effect, but this time in order to save people, I really calculated a hexagram, counting our itinerary today, it is an auspicious hexagram.
"Cut, there is a blood spider, it must be successful, hindsight"
"Yes, Sister Kim is right"
I don't want to be angry with Jin Xiaomei, she's right, don't save any credit anyway.
As expected, about half an hour later, Jin Xiaomei's blood spider came back, pulling a long spider silk from her mouth, and behind the spider silk was a person, a person who looked like a homeless man.
"Hu Minghai"
Xia Wenhai and *** both recognized this person as Hu Minghai, and the reason why it looks like a homeless man should be a matter of missing in the past few days.
Hu Minghai didn't answer, his eyes were hollow, he just kept walking, like a machine, I hurriedly stepped forward and pressed him, this guy's strength was very strong, I almost didn't hold it.
"Sister Jin, it's up to you now"
"Little things, bring water, Brother Xuanji, break his mouth"
"Good"
Xia Wenhai took a bottle of water, Jin Xiaomei took out a paper bag, poured the medicine powder into it, shook it for a while, and then broke Hu Minghai's mouth and poured the water into it.
"Wow"
A minute later, Hu Minghai vomited, spit out a small spider the size of a ring finger, and a lot of spider silk, the smell of vomit was very unpleasant, even we almost vomited, Jin Xiaomei ran into the car in disgust.
"Send it to the hospital, quickly, Hu Minghai is about to hang up"
I endured the bad smell, picked Hu Minghai into the car, and then asked *** to drive to the nearest hospital in the city, otherwise I probably wouldn't be able to save it.
"Mr. Li, how is he?"
"The situation is not very good, today is the fifth day of Hu Minghai's disappearance, I don't know if he has eaten and drunk water in these five days, but he has definitely not stopped, he has been walking for five days in a row, what do you say will happen"
I replied that even if there was a medical team to help, it would be estimated that it would cost someone to walk non-stop for five days, and now Hu Minghai's pulse is very weak, and I don't know if he can be saved.
"Li Xuanji, aren't you a cultivator, you should know medical skills, save him"
"Sister Jin, my medical skills also depend on the level of headache and brain fever, how can I have this ability, medical skills are used to save people, not to kill"
I smiled bitterly and said, although my cultivation is indeed to learn the mountain medicine of life divination, and medical skills are also one of them, but my cultivation time is still short, and there is no practice of medical skills, so it is okay for me to see a cold or something, but it is not okay to save people.
"What about the secret technique of hanging your life, you don't have it?"
"Yes, but Hu Minghai's situation is unknown, I don't dare to use it, he probably can't bear it now"
I shook my head, Hu Minghai's situation was only half a breath left, how dare I use secret techniques to hang.
"I don't dare, that's not good, what's the use of you, sure enough, the cultivator is not as good as our Gu technique, go away, look at me"
"Sister Jin, you can go"
"Well, you better not go, you break his mouth again"
As soon as Jin Xiaomei walked into Hu Minghai and smelled the smell of his body, she almost vomited, how dare she approach alone.
I opened his mouth again, Jin Xiaomei still put a ball into Hu Minghai's mouth, almost choking him to death, that action looked at my heart jumping, Jin Xiaomei didn't want to kill people intentionally.
However, I still chose to stuff the ball into Hu Minghai's throat, and then pressed it twice on my neck to make sure that the ball fell into my stomach, not that it was blocked in my throat and was in danger of suffocation.
Two hours later, we took Hu Minghai to a tertiary hospital in the city, and on the way Xia Wenhai had already called Hu Minghai's parents, and they were on their way.
Hu Minghai was sent to the emergency room for rescue, we don't know the specific situation, three hours later, Hu Minghai's parents and relatives arrived, the operation was not over, it was dark.
"Mr. Lee, I think it's time for us to go"
After Hu Minghai's parents arrived, Xia Zhishu found me and said to me.
"What does Mr. Xia mean..."
"Hu Minghai's condition is unknown, it's useless for us to stay, and Wenhai is not in good health, the hospital is more serious, we have to go back to recuperate as soon as possible."
"That's right"
I nodded, in fact, Xia Zhishu was not worried about this, but Hu Minghai's family didn't seem to be good people, but seemed to be mixed up in the Tao.
The root cause of Hu Minghai's accident is on the side of Yunkong Mountain, and Jin Xiaomei is a person from Yunkong Mountain, if Hu Minghai's family wants to mess around, it will definitely be unfavorable to Jin Xiaomei, and even we will be implicated.
There is no need for such an accident at this time, so Mingzhe is right to protect himself, and I agree with it.
