Chapter 11: Molting
Village Chief Li has a light bulb with a low wattage in his house, but there is a black greasy dirt on it, which looks dirty, as if there are moths flying around the bulb. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
He took out two stools, wiped them with his sleeve, and then put them in front of us: "Come, don't be disgusted, just sit down." ”
After Peng Shiqi and I sat down, he smiled again: "I won't pour tea for you, the cup at home is broken, and it is not as clean as you city people." ”
In this society, some people live a life of spending, while others are reluctant to buy even a good cup.
I hurriedly smiled at him understandingly: "It's okay, we're not thirsty." ”
He moved a stool himself and sat down: "Okay, then let's get down to business." The wrinkles on his face were even more pronounced by his facial expressions at the moment, "About three months ago, something strange happened in our village, every once in a while, someone's face would begin to molt inexplicably, and after three molts, they would die, and these three molts would be completed in about ten days. ”
"Did you go to the doctor to see what the problem is?" I asked.
"At first, we thought the same thing, but the village doctor didn't know what this disease was, and planned to go into the city to find a better doctor, but we didn't expect that as soon as we left the village, the molted person would die faster."
Beads of sweat gradually oozed from Village Chief Li's head, he wiped it with his hand, and continued: "Not long ago, a mysterious person came to the village, saying that there will be outsiders to help us solve this problem in the near future, I think it should be you." ”
I looked at Peng Shiqi, who didn't have any expression on his face, just listened attentively.
Suddenly, a young man broke in from outside, and the expression on his face was very panicked: "Oh no! Uncle Lee! The old man of the Zhao family began to molt on his face! ”
Village Chief Li's face changed, and he hurriedly ran out, and we also ran over quickly with them, and as soon as we entered the door, we saw that Old Man Zhao's face was already covered with white skin, and his expression was extremely painful.
Village Chief Li went over and asked his family, "When did you start molting?" ”
"Half an hour ago."
"Then there's still an hour and a half before the whole skin is finished."
Peng Shiqi walked over and checked the pulse of the old man: "The skin of the face can't be fitted, if the skin of the face is fitted, you don't have to worry about peeling off the skin anymore." Wait for me to make ......"
Before she finished speaking, the aunt suddenly interjected: "Didn't our ancestors pass down a book about disguise?" It is said that there is a perfect way to make the skin fit well, and if you know this method, you will never be afraid of molting again. ”
Peng Shiqi heard her say this, swallowed the remaining words back into his stomach, and just glanced at his aunt, and an unknown meaning flashed in his eyes.
Village Chief Li showed a look of embarrassment: "It's not easy to find the Book of Disguise, I'm afraid that before that day, Old Man Zhao will die." At the mention of death, the people of the Zhao family couldn't help crying again.
The aunt looked worried: "If you don't try to find it, will you see more people dying in pain?" ”
Village Chief Li sighed and looked at Peng Shiqi with a pleading gaze: "Young man, do you have a way to cure it?" ”
He shook his head: "It seems that only the books left by your ancestors will give you hope." ”
Village Chief Li thought for a while: "In this way, we big guys will have a meeting tomorrow to discuss it and then decide." ”
After Mr. Zhao's skin was shed, he finally relieved himself, everyone dispersed one after another, and we went back to the car to rest.
Peng Shiqi shook the chair down and lay down, but Chaos jumped out and arranged a circle of enchantments, and then came back to tell us, "I have been observing for a long time today, and I suspect that there is something wrong with that aunt. ”
I repeated Chaos' words for Chaos, and Peng Shiqi said "um" after hearing it: "Actually, this kind of molting disease should be caused by human poisoning, but seeing that she is anxious to let us go to find the Book of Disguise, the purpose is definitely not pure." ”
I held my chin and thought about what they said: "Then why don't you just dismantle her, that aunt may be Qiu Xuchen's person." ”
"Chaos' face can't fit the face, I think there will be a solution to this problem in that disguise book, of course, Qiu Xuchen's purpose in bringing us here should be to get this book for him."
With such an analysis, Qiu Xuchen is really treacherous, on the surface, he just asked us to find a way to solve the spell, but in fact, he used us as a gunman to run errands for him.
Later, thinking about it, I fell asleep in a daze, Peng Shiqi's eyes were also closed, and Chaos glanced at me and Peng Shiqi, and found that we were both asleep, and we also lay down quietly.
