At dawn on the second day, I saw Yaojia carrying a basket on her back and sweeping through the woods alone to the wood she planted yesterday, and took out a very neat set of Yao costumes from the basket, and said to herself: "Sister, I went back last night to ask my mother, and she said that when a person dies, he must change into a set of neat clothes before he can be buried." Yesterday I didn't bring clothes, today I brought you a set. This is what my aunt just made for me, I haven't even tried it, it's definitely new. I don't think you're much older than me, so you'll fit well. Since you are dead, I will burn your clothes, and you must change your clothes before you go to heaven, otherwise you will be looked down upon. After saying that, he picked up his clothes and was about to burn them, when he saw that the soil he had just filled yesterday had turned purple and black, and he jumped up in horror.

She was stunned for a moment, and suddenly thought, "Oh no, could it be that some thief stole my sister and killed some animal to bury it here?" Yes, it must be like this, this soil must be stained like this with animal blood." After thinking about it, he looked around, trying to find the clues left by the thieves, but found nothing. became angry at the moment and scolded: "If I find out, I must kill him to avenge my sister." Then he took the hoe and threw it away, and said, "I want to see what they have to deceive me." After a while, seeing Liu Tingting's clothes exposed, he was taken aback and said, "Isn't this my sister's clothes?" At the moment, he didn't dare to dig hard, and slowly dug out the soil with his hands, and saw Liu Tingting's face exposed, so he sat on the ground in horror, and said tremblingly: "Sister, sister, I didn't mean it, I definitely didn't mean it, I thought you were stolen, so I dug up the soil to see it, not to deliberately offend you." After a while, I slowly opened my eyes and saw that Liu Tingting's purple-black face had faded a lot, and had turned purple and white with a little blood, which was much better than yesterday. Puzzled: "Why is my sister's face much better than yesterday's, isn't my sister dead?" shouted: "Sister, sister, are you dead?" didn't hear any response, paused, reached out and pressed the artery on Liu Tingting's neck, laughed happily, and said: "It turns out that my sister is not dead, it must be that Ngawang lied to me." After a while, he dug out all the soil in the pit and hugged Liu Tingting. There was another scream, and when she saw that the whole body that bit Liu Tingting's right hand turned into a black and purple snake, she was so frightened that she hurriedly let go of her hand. Liu Tingting was thrown to the ground and spat out a mouthful of purple blood.

Yaojia came back to her senses, and was overjoyed to see Liu Tingting vomiting blood, and read in her mouth, "Sister is not dead, sister is not dead." He carried her in a basket and covered her with her clothes, and walked down the hill through the woods. Soon they came to a village that was located on the side of a large mountain, surrounded by dense woods and patches of green hemp (a herbaceous plant whose skin can be made into twine and woven into linen, from which the Yao people have always relied to make clothes). The village is surrounded by mountains, and smoke wafts around the village, and a small stream flows bustling at the foot of the deep mountain.

The men, women and children of the village all wore black linen clothes, and the women wore silver ornaments and a silver plate on their heads, and most of the men wore black linen hats like Ngawang. Many people are coming out of the village to hunt in the mountains. Some old people sat in the doorway, smoking spicy pipes, watching the villagers gossip as they went back and forth. A middle-aged man with a black hat and a long chicken feather stuck in the hat and a slightly thin body with a full beard walked out of the village with a pipe in his hand. Yaojia was stunned at first when she saw this person, quickly stabilized her senses, and strode towards the village.

When the middle-aged man saw Yaojia coming back, he asked, "Ajia, where did you come back early in the morning with a basket of new clothes?"

Yaojia hurriedly opened it and scolded: "Uncle Cheng, what are you doing, you want to steal my new clothes, I'll sue my father." "Slowly retreat and move forward.

The middle-aged man Ah Cheng laughed and said: "Nonsense, what do I want your little baby's clothes for, go, go!"

Yaojia snorted, turned around and strode towards the village, a cold sweat on her face. This village is very large, and there should be more than 1,000 households. She walked for a while before she reached the other end of the village, and walked quickly into a very old tiled house. As soon as he entered the door, he saw Ngawang going out with a basket on his back, and glanced at him fiercely and walked into the room.

Seeing that she was angry, Ngawang was very puzzled, turned back to the room and said, "I was about to go on an appointment with you, but I didn't know that you came to make an appointment with me first." ”

Yaojia kicked the basket to the ground, glanced at Ngawang fiercely, and scolded: "You liar, liar!"

Ngawang was taken aback and asked, "Ajia, why am I a liar again?" I got up late this morning, aren't I going to make an appointment with you, I didn't lie to you?" He and Yaojia made an appointment to go to the mountain together this morning, thinking that it was because he didn't go to her in time to make an appointment.

Yaojia pulled out the new clothes on the back basket with one hand, and Liu Tingting was exposed. Ngawang was so shocked that he couldn't say a word.

Yaojia carried Liu Tingting to the bed of Ah Wang in the side room, pointed at Ah Wang and scolded very angrily: "Today I really know that I misjudged you!"

Ngawang looked at Liu Tingting, who was covered in mud, and asked with a suspicious face: "Why did you carry her back, she is not ......"

Yaojia took over and said, "Isn't she dead? Isn't it, you liar, you actually buried your sister alive in order to save your own life." I misjudged you, Sister Aqing also misjudged you, we all misjudged you!"

Ah Wang hurriedly covered Yaojia's mouth and said, "You listen to me calmly first, okay, you scream so loudly, aren't you really afraid of being known?"

Yaojia pushed Ah Wang away with one hand and scolded: "You coward, you are not worthy of Sister Ah Qing at all, hum!"

Ngawang was naturally extremely sad, sighed deeply, and turned to look at Liu Tingting. Seeing that Liu Tingting's face was flushed with faint blood, she was extremely puzzled. He stretched out his hand to check Liu Tingting's pulse, and vaguely heard Liu Tingting's faint pulse, and was overjoyed, and said, "She's really not dead!"

Yaojia snorted and said, "Then why did you say that she died yesterday, you will be struck by lightning if you are so deceitful." ”

Ngawang said: "Yesterday she had no pulse, no breath, no blood on her face, and she was lifeless, which is indeed the condition of a dead person." ”

Yaojia said: "Why are you alive again now, is it that you can't cheat and change your mind?"

Ngawang was so angry that his face was red and his ears were red, and he said a few words "you" in a row. Squinted his eyes, he saw the snake that was still tightly biting on Liu Tingting's right hand and turned purple all over his body, so he jumped away in fright, and said, "...... ...... The ...... "out of breath."

Yaojia saw that his situation was even more bizarre, and asked: "What are you slipping, so if you are afraid of death, get out of here!" Ah Wang was short of breath for a while, and said that the garden was slipping, no wonder Yaojia misunderstood.

Ngawang came back to his senses, stabilized his mood, relaxed his breath, pointed to the snake and said, "Yan Yan, how can there be Yan Yan?"

Yaojia was puzzled: "What rumors are not rumors, isn't that a snake?"

Ngawang slowly approached and carefully observed the snake, although the snake had all turned black and purple, the pattern on its body was still there. He pondered for a moment and said, "Ajia, sit down and listen to me slowly." ”

Seeing that he was so serious, Yaojia sat down in response.

Ngawang said: "Half a year ago, Uncle Ah Cheng went to the mountains and was bitten by an ancient scorpion, his whole body turned yellow, and he could die violently at any time. The patriarch ordered me to heal him no matter what. However, this ancient scorpion is completely different from ordinary scorpions, and the toxicity is not only not the same, but also a hundred times stronger than the poison of the scorpion. I've never seen an ancient scorpion, and I've never been able to detoxify it. I had no choice but to use a silver needle to control the toxicity first and find a way. I searched through the medical books at home and all the medical books in your father's study, but I couldn't find any way. Your father had no choice but to open the 'golden box' and let me look at the ancient fragments left by my ancestors, which I had seen on a half-page fragment. "Point to the snake. He continued: "It looks like a snake, but it's not a snake at all, it's an ancient creature. The fragment said that no one knew what it was called, so our ancestors named it 'Yan Yan', but why it was called Yan Yan did not say. The last line says, 'The one who is in the flames, not a snake, cannot be a group for ten miles, one production in ten years, one ring in ten years, is extinct!' It can turn into the poison of the world, and every time it turns into a death, the body changes color and ......' and the back is mutilated, and no one knows what to say. ”

Yaojia said: "Do you mean that my sister is fine?"

Ngawang walked up to Liu Tingting, saw the blood that Liu Tingting had just vomited, and asked, "Is this blood she just vomited?"

Yaojia said: "I accidentally fell down on her when I was holding her out of the pit." ”

Ngawang carefully observed the bloodstains and said, "She has been poisoned by a variety of poisons, each of which can kill people, and it is really rare that she can live to this day." ”

Ah Jia was surprised: "Ah, what kind of poison?"

Ngawang continued: "The venom of more than a dozen poisonous snakes, and the more powerful one is a poison developed from a hundred kinds of poison. ”

Ah Jia was surprised: "A hundred kinds of poison?"

Ngawang nodded and said: "There are thousands of poisons in the world, no one knows which hundred poisons are used, and no one in the world can save her except for the person who poisoned her." ”

Yaojia was taken aback and said, "Didn't you say that Yan Yan had poisoned her?"

Ngawang said: "Although Yan Yan has removed more than 90 kinds of poisons for her, there are still more than 20 kinds of poisons left in the body, no one knows which poisons are used, how to save them?"

Yaojia said: "I know, we can find more Yan Yan, so that we can poison my sister." ”

Ngawang shook his head and said, "It has already been said on the fragment page that Yan Yan is extinct, where to find it?"

Yao Jia said: "How can it be extinct, isn't this one?"

Ngawang said: "Even if it is not extinct, it is also said on the fragment that this Yan only lives underground, never reaches the surface, and drills into the soil without leaving a horizontal trace, and will never survive two at the same time every ten miles." When they have to reproduce, the male and female will come for a while, and after a while, they will leave separately, not within ten miles, otherwise both the male and female will die. Ten years of production, ten years of longevity, each ring must be changed to another place, must be ten miles away from the original place. You say, the world is so big, even if we can dig up all the land, we may not be able to find it, do you think it is feasible?" Ah Wang turned around and counted the Yan Yan that bit Liu Tingting's hand, there were fifteen rings, and he was surprised, and said, "One hundred and fifty years old has only grown a foot!"

Yaojia didn't care how big it grew and asked, "In that case, you really don't need to look for it, but you said that there are only more than 20 kinds of poisons, and the clansmen call you a miracle doctor, can't you solve more than 20 kinds of poisons?"
