Chapter 80: A Broken Arm
Once you choose the wrong way, it is very likely that you will not be able to find Yun Xiaoyao, and for a while, the tense atmosphere made Ma Gan's brows tighten.
"It's better to go separately, so that the chance of finding Yun Shen Doctor will be greater." Gu Biqiu suddenly said.
Ran Ma Gan vetoed without thinking, "This move is not appropriate, I don't know what danger there is on this mountain, the city lord, you are the lord of a city, you must not take this risk." Besides, there may be more than these two forks in the road, and what if there are a few more forks in the road ahead? ”
"What you say makes sense, but there's no other way to do it right now."
At this time, Ma Gan suddenly walked towards the camphor tree in the middle of the two roads, and somehow, he felt that this tree was strange. If you look closely, you can see that there is only one camphor tree in the whole area, and it happens to grow in the middle of two forks in the road.
"Senior, what did you find?" Seeing that Ma Gan had been staring at the tree, Gu Biqiu couldn't help but step forward and ask.
"I don't know, but this tree is a little weird."
As soon as he finished speaking, a strange sound came from the front, and the sound came from the road on the right side of the fork in the road. Since it was getting dark, I couldn't see what was in front of me, only pitch black.
After Ma Gan and Gu Biqiu glanced at each other, they slowly leaned towards the road on the right, and at this time, the noise became louder and louder. Suddenly, there was a violent shaking in the grass in front of him, as if something was about to burst out.
The two of them were startled and stopped suddenly.
"I don't think this path is quite right, so it's better to take a different path." Gu Biqiu whispered, because the movement in front of him had already terrified him.
"Don't worry, I'll go ahead and take a look." Ma Gan said to him, and slowly moved towards the strange grass.
At the same time, the movement over there became louder, and the sound of 'rustling' kept ringing, which was extremely harsh.
Just when Ma Gan got closer, suddenly a group of wild birds 'brushed' out and rushed into the air in unison, the scene was so spectacular that it simply shocked people.
It turned out that the movement in the grass was a flock of birds, and after knowing the truth, Gu Biqiu pinched a handful of sweat, and then relaxed and walked forward.
But Ma Gan didn't think so, only to see him violently pick up the weeds, and then he was startled and took a few steps back.
At the same moment, Gu Biqiu also saw the things in the grass clearly.
It's the arm! A severed arm!
It may have been a few days, and the severed arm has rotted and many holes have grown, presumably the holes on it were pecked by those wild birds. At this moment, there are many reptiles and ants around the arm, and insects the size of rice grains shuttle back and forth in those holes, gnawing and pecking at the only rotten flesh little by little. The hearts of those who watched it were numb, and it was simply disgusting.
Gu Biqiu covered his nose and couldn't help but gag. At this time, the stench coming from the grass and the scene he saw in front of him had already strained his nerves, and even his gastric juice couldn't help but roll.
"Why is there a broken arm here? And it's a man's arm. Ma Gan's stomach was full of doubts at the moment. This broken arm looks like a person who used to practice martial arts, I really don't understand why he wants to cut off his arm? ”
"Maybe it wasn't of his own free will, but someone else cut it off?" Gu Biqiu covered his nose and expressed his opinion.
"It's not impossible." Ma Gan nodded in agreement.
Then, he walked a little closer to the broken arm, and after observing it for a long time, he concluded: "It may be that someone was poisoned and wanted to come here to seek divine healing, but he never found it, so in order to prevent the poison from invading his body, he was forced to cut off his arm, which can be regarded as leaving a way for himself to live." ”
"How do you see that?" Gu Biqiu asked.
Ran Ma Qian pointed to the weeds around the severed arm and replied, "You see that these grasses have withered, obviously they have taken up the toxin." ”
"In this way, it is really difficult to find a miracle doctor." After hearing this, Gu Biqiu immediately looked worried, he was afraid that he would not be able to find Yun Xiaoyao within five days, and then his daughter would be separated from his yin and yang.
Seeing his worried look, Ma Gan could only comfort: "City Lord, don't be discouraged, we still have five days, and even if I turn the entire Huatuo Mountain inside and out, I will find him." ”
"Senior, your kindness, Gu doesn't know how to repay ......" After speaking, Gu Biqiu burst into tears again, and wanted to kneel down to Ma Gan to thank him, like a little woman.
Ma Gan hurriedly pulled him down, "City Lord, don't be like this, you are the lord of a city, the people of the entire Xicheng need you, the grass people do nothing for you, if you really want to repay the grass people, just be a civil official and love the people well." ”
Gu Biqiu nodded, "Don't worry, as long as I, Gu Biqiu, am still the Lord of Xicheng for one day, I will not treat any of the people of Xicheng badly." ”
"Having the words of the city lord is a blessing for the entire Xicheng." Ma Qian sighed.
The two talked for a while, then crossed the severed arm and continued to climb up.
This climb lasted for more than an hour, and at this time, the bodies of the two gradually lost their support, so they sat on the spot and took a nap.
When I woke up again, it was already the next morning, and it had just dawned, and from a distance, it was gray. From time to time, a few birds flew by in the sky, and the sound of 'chirping' was non-stop, which was really a headache.
"Let's hurry up." Gu Biqiu hurriedly got up from the ground, and then said to Ma Gan, and then another person took the lead and walked forward.
He was anxious to save his daughter, and at this time, he just wanted to find Yun Xiaoyao as much as possible, and he didn't care about anything else.
Ma Gan saw that he was walking so fast, so he had to follow closely, and he looked around as he walked, as if he was looking for something.
It didn't take long for me to climb when a steep rock suddenly appeared in front of me, and it was covered with moss and looked very slippery. If you want to get past the other end, you have to climb up, but it's a bit dangerous because if you slide down, you will fall to the bottom of the mountain.
"City Lord, you still wait for me here, this rock is steep and easy to fall down." Ma Qian frowned and said to Gu Biqiu.
But Gu Biqiu refused without thinking: "If I don't find Doctor Yun in person, I won't be able to show my sincerity at all, what if he refuses to come to the rescue?" No, no, no, I must pass, don't stop me. ”
"But city lord, no matter what, you can't risk your life to ......"
"Senior Ma, don't talk about it, I've made up my mind."
Ma Gan still wanted to persuade him, but he was interrupted before he finished speaking.
Gu Biqiu ignored what he said, and walked straight towards the rock, first looking at the bottomless mountain, and then as if he had made up his mind. I saw him climb the corner of the rock with one hand, and then his body began to move towards that side little by little.
Ma Gan was worried about watching from the sidelines and wanted to help him, but Gu Biqiu insisted that he could only show his sincerity by relying on his own past, so he had no choice but to look anxiously from behind, and his heart was in his throat.
The huge, steep rock was huge, at least two feet wide, and it was so smooth that there were no bumps or bumps.
From a distance, I saw Gu Biqiu slowly moving over there, his sweat was already soaked all over his body, and beads of sweat the size of beans were sliding down his forehead.
The middle of the rock was the most shaky, and the moss was also the most, and when he passed by here, his hands might not be able to exert his strength, and his feet were slippery again.
At that time, Ma Gan exclaimed: "Be careful! ”
