The smell of medicine mixed with the strange fishy smell made my head dizzy.

The light in the wooden door is quite dim, and there are old-fashioned warm yellow light bulbs hanging on the roof, I don't know if the wattage is not high or the voltage is not enough, in short, it is quite dim.

When I entered the room, I first felt a wave of heat rushing over my face.

The house was hot and not ventilated, so it was quite damp.

The curtains blocked the window tightly, and against the window, there were two wooden beds.

There were two humanoid creatures lying on the bed, so called because I couldn't be sure if these two 'people' were human or not.

Their exposed arms were covered in colorless, transparent scales the size of fingernails that covered most of their bodies, including their faces.

As for the hair on their bodies, they had already fallen out, and both of them were bald, and the scales had a crystalline luster, shining in the warm light.

They were covered with a thick quilt, and the sides of the quilt were nailed with plastic.

Judging by their expressions, they should be in pain, and by this time, they can't even speak, and they have a hard time even lifting their hands, so don't expect them to tell me anything.

I don't know what to call them, two people covered with transparent scales, one taller and one shorter, but I don't know if it's because of illness or what, their facial features look somewhat similar.

After thinking about it, I decided to call them 'Fish-People'.

Under the warm wind, I noticed that the scales on the arms of the smaller fish-men were curling, which was a little disgusting, because when I saw this, I thought of a fried thing called shrimp chips.

The transparent scales rolled up to a certain extent, and then fell off the man's arm on their own, and the man's skin was like the skin of a fish, and this was not the end, after the scales fell off, soon new scales would grow.

The process was quite brutal, and the scales must have grown from the nutrients provided by the two men's bodies, so the two men I saw were quite thin and almost skinny.

I noticed that they had several hanging bottles on their bodies, constantly pouring potions into their bodies.

"They lose water from their bodies too quickly, so we have to do this to keep them alive as much as possible," Zhou explained. ”

Seeing this strange situation, I gently picked up a piece of scale with tweezers.

The scales were similar to fish scales, but the smell was so bad that I had to plug my nose so I could get better.

The scales are quite transparent, like frosted glass, but somewhat distorted.

We all looked at it, and everyone had serious expressions.

Zheng Fatzi seemed to have something to say, but in the end he didn't say it.

After seeing these two people, we didn't want to stay here any longer, so the back team left the house.

"How is it, can people still be saved?"

Standing outside the door, Zhou Wen couldn't wait to ask.

"Not much hope. I said truthfully.

The bodies of these two people have basically been hollowed out, and they have been able to live until now, I am afraid it is because Zhou Wen gave them medicine at any cost, otherwise they would have died a long time ago.

I should have said that they were hopeless, but the smaller 'Fishman' was clearly a young child, so I really couldn't say it directly.

"Isn't there a little hope?" Zhou Wen still refused to give up.

I thought about it, and felt that it would be more cruel to give him hope and then break it, so I said what I thought directly.

"Their bodies have been drained, and there is nothing left of them, and there is really no way to save such people. ”

Zhou Wen was silent, but then he asked, "What if the situation is not serious?"

I think he's a little weird now, if it were someone else, he wouldn't be so nervous, could it be that he has this kind of thing growing on his body?

Therefore, I didn't say anything to death, "It depends on the specific situation, why don't we go back first, and you can tell us what happened in detail." ”

Zhou Wen nodded in agreement, if it was really what I thought, he would have no better choice now.

Although the two people upstairs were not saved, I still left a few charms, the purpose of the charms is to expel the yin qi, the yin qi on those two people is extremely heavy, if you expel some of them, it can make them more comfortable, and they can walk less uncomfortable.

Soon, we returned to Zhou Wen's home.

Now it was Zhou Wen who was in a hurry, so as soon as we entered the door, Zhou Wen was in a hurry to find me.

Zhou Wen and I went to a separate room, and after sitting down, Zhou Wen rolled up his sleeves.

My pupils constricted, and I could see very clearly, starting from Zhou Wen's wrist, a circle of one-third round black scales grew around his wrist.

Different from the transparent scales on the two people, the scales on Zhou Wen's body not only have color, but also look quite neat and shiny.

The black scales have the texture of steel, and in the same way as the colorless scales, they all have an unpleasant smell.

"Zhou Wen, what did you do?"

I stood up and looked at him in shock, if the scales growing on his body were a curse, the curse on Zhou Wen's body was countless times more powerful than the curse on those two people.

"What can I do? Zhou Wen put down his sleeves, and his expression was quite gloomy.

I wasn't very happy with his reply, but he didn't want to go into details, but instead talked about the source of the 'curse'

"Here in Dulong Rock, there was originally a dragon bone temple. ”

His subject changed quickly, and at the same time, I noticed that he had a piece of green jade on his chest, but there were cracks on the green jade.

Dulong Rock is like a dragon head and a dragon horn, but there is another legend here besides the terrain.

Legend has it that in a certain month of a certain year, a one-horned black dragon floated from the Yellow River to the shore and died on the Dulong rock beach.

Therefore, the villagers regarded the black dragon corpse as a sacred object, they believed that it was the body of the dragon lord who had lost his life, and also built a dragon bone temple, and now, no one has gone to burn incense and worship.

Here in Dulongyan, there are few good places, if you want to build a factory, there are not many places to choose, except for the village itself, that is, the location of the dragon bone temple is more suitable.

Zhou Wen went to see the so-called dragon bones, but they were just a few dry bones placed on the altar, and there was nothing strange about them.

At that time, Zhou Wenzheng didn't know why he changed his personality, so he finally chose to burn down the ruined temple in secret.
