Chapter 49: The Worm Village (2)
Seeing a village of people is not very welcome, a bunch of people have to come out of the house in a gloomy way, to say that this way is also encountered in this village, at least to other places, the local people are like gods for themselves, it is inevitable that people feel a little bit of a gap.
"Where are we going?" Yin Ning looked at everyone.
"Of course it's going down the mountain, what are we doing here? I didn't see that others were not welcome at all?" Wang Yuehan said angrily, "Seeing their faces, I can't wait to pick up the heavy sword and slaughter this tribe." ”
"If you want to slaughter this tribe, you have to cure Yufei first," Brother Zou Yin smiled, "After all, people have an antidote in their hands." ”
"Yu Fei, how are you?" Qin Yunwan said with concern.
Yu Fei looked at her arm, "I don't feel like it's a big deal, it's just a little itchy, if it's really poisonous, it must have a big reaction." ”
"Didn't that person say that the resistance of the Holy Spirit People is generally stronger, and there won't be any big problems?" Qin Yunwan said with relief, "Since people said that, there must be a precedent to prove it, so don't worry too much." ”
"That's right," Feng Xuan also hurriedly added, "This place is full of spiritual power, and there is obviously the breath of the Holy Spirit Man, maybe the Holy Spirit Man here really didn't react after being bitten by insects."
"Anyway, don't worry," Qin Yunwan said, "I agree with everyone, if it's really dangerous, it's okay now." We are going down the mountain this time, everyone must be careful, don't be bitten by this bug. ”
The group walked cautiously down the mountain, after all, it was already a little dark, and it didn't matter if you found the right way back, and you had to always be careful not to be bitten by insects.
"You say, there are so many poisonous insects on this mountain, how did these people survive," Feng Xuan asked curiously.
"I haven't heard anyone say that this insect is their holy relic," Yin Ning said disdainfully, "It's strange to say, many people will believe in what they are afraid of as a holy relic, and they don't know what the logic is." ”
"At best, it's called obsession, but if it's bad, it's confession," Zou Yin said, "Think about the old story, if you're afraid of a volcano, you go to the volcano to sacrifice to the living, if you're afraid of a certain beast, you go to its nest to offer food, and if you're afraid of insects, you just..."
"What," Yin Ning asked with a smile, "I can't tell, in the end, they still refuse to fight this bug, no matter how poisonous this bug is, how can humans not be able to beat them." ”
"Maybe the people on this mountain aren't afraid of insects at all," Zhong Li guessed, "After living for so many years, it is estimated that there are antibodies in the body for a long time." ”
Yin Ning still felt that something was wrong, "Since you are not afraid, why prepare medicinal herbs." ”
"I said let's not worry about this yet," Zou Yin said, "whether we're going the right way." ”
"That's right," Qin Yunwan said, "just pay attention to the insects around you, I have an impression of the road you have walked." ”
"Anyway, our captain is sharp-eyed, we just have to follow," Yue Han said.
I don't know how long I walked like this, but I could already see the foot of the mountain, and when everyone felt that they were about to reach their destination, they suddenly heard a woman's scream in front of them.
"Ah!!h
"What's going on!" everyone hurriedly ran in the direction where the voice came from, and the lighting beam on the communicator took pictures in one direction at the same time.
Right in front of her, a woman was slumped on the ground, clutching her thighs.
"How's it going?" everyone hurried to the front.
The woman didn't have time to respond, and a knife in her thick hand slashed off a piece of meat on her thigh!
"Ahh
Zou Yin hurriedly assisted her in bandaging and cast a simple spell, Zhong Li gave the woman two blades of grass, "Hold it, it has a paralyzing effect!"
When the woman was completely calm, everyone realized that the woman was picking leaves at the bottom of the mountain today, and when she went back, she was unfortunately bitten by this insect, and this is why she ended up in this fate.
"I see," Qin Yunwan briefly explained the origin of the team, and then hurriedly asked, "My friend has also been bitten by insects, and he has just been treated by your chief's daughter." ”
Saying that, Yu Fei stretched out her hand again, and the woman looked at Yu Fei's arm, "Isn't this already all right? If something really happens, this bag will get bigger and bigger, and your whole body will faint now." ”
After listening to this girl's words, everyone was relieved, it doesn't matter if they can investigate or not, as long as everyone is safe and sound.
"Since you're injured now, why don't you stay down the mountain with us," Feng Xuan said, "After all, we also know some magic, so there won't be any danger, and in your current situation, I guess you won't even be able to climb the mountain." ”
The woman hesitated, but finally agreed.
It's okay for others to think about it, after all, they have some favor for this woman, and maybe they can still put something out of her mouth.
After a bumpy ride, he finally returned to the flat ground, and the car stopped in front of him.
"There are only two tents on this car, and each one can squeeze three or four people, how can you sleep now?" Wang Yuehan asked.
"Let's leave a few boys to keep vigil outside, maybe there are insects in this corner of the mountain, and even if there are none, there may be some wild beasts, so everyone should be vigilant." Qin Yunwan said.
Zou Yin turned over some food in the car, "I'm hungry!"
It must have been about ten o'clock in the evening, and the bonfire was lit, and everyone sat on the ground, and suddenly felt that it was a wonderful thing to be able to sleep in the wilderness and jungle.
The man clearly felt out of place and was just quietly eating on his own.
"What's your name?" Qin Yunwan asked her.
"Call me Sister Adan," the woman said embarrassedly.
"It's so late, are you still picking leaves at the bottom of the mountain?" Qin Yunwan continued to ask.
"Hmm. ”
Zou Yinnian's woman didn't like to chat very much, so she asked her directly: "You have to live on the mountain every day, and you have to go up and down the mountain to pick things, with these insects, won't your life be in danger every moment?"
"This worm is our holy thing, please don't say that. ”
"Holy relic?" Yin Ning was angry when he heard this, "Not to mention that this insect almost killed our teammates, even you locals will be poisoned by him all the time, but you want to treat it as a treasure?"
"Yin Ning," Qin Yunwan hurriedly signaled her not to use excessive language, after all, it was someone else's faith, and it was rude to laugh at someone else's faith.
"Actually, many of us here are immune to this bug," the woman continued.
"Why, is there a difference in physique between people?" Zou Yin said.
"No, because a lot of us here have been trained since childhood. ”
This sentence aroused everyone's curiosity, "Why, could it be like now, being bitten by insects a few times and slowly generating antibodies?"
The woman hesitated, "Yes and no," she put down the bread in her hand and looked at everyone with strange eyes, "Many of us here have to cut a wound from their bodies since they were young, and let the larvae with little toxicity burrow into the wound, so as to slowly feed the larvae and slowly exercise their own resistance to this poison." ”
Dumbfounded, several people opened their mouths, and they couldn't say a word at this moment!
"It's a pity," the woman said a little gloomy, "I'm still not strong enough, I only have a few nests on my body, and for the people of the chief's clan, there must be at least a dozen nests to establish prestige." ”
Yin Ning really couldn't listen to it anymore, and Yu Fei and Feng Xuan next to him almost vomited out what they had just eaten.
"Then you tell me," Yin Ning looked questioning, "You are feeding these insects, what do these insects bring you?"
"Huh?" the woman was a little strange, as if it was a great effort, and how could she talk about the return?"Do you know what it feels like when those insects that have grown up suddenly come back to you one day and burrow into that nest in your body again? It is love, it is belonging, insects also have affection, they will not bite the person who feeds them, and they will not let other people of the same kind do it, so when it moves around your body, even if you feel pain, there will be a sense of satisfaction. ”
"What kind of custom is this," Wang Yuehan couldn't help laughing on the side, "This is the most ridiculous custom I've ever heard, you said, for these rules, everyone has cracks that can't be completely healed, and even life expectancy will be affected, and they are even happy to do it." ”
"It is true that our people do live a shorter life," the woman replied.
"That's not it, what kind of rules do you insist on," Wang Yuehan said mercilessly.
Sister Ashan stopped talking, in her eyes, maybe the people in the song group were weirdos.
Eat and drink enough, maybe it's time to sleep, I was going to squeeze a tent for men and women for a tent, but the girls seem to have something unspeakable, and they don't want to squeeze together with Sister Adan, it's no wonder that people who have bred insects in their bodies sleep close to each other, and anyone will feel uncomfortable, but this Sister Ashan is also more knowledgeable, saying that she is used to living in the mountains, so she will lie down and sleep in a random place.
At night, Qin Yunwan and Lu Fengxuan were guarding outside the tent, and Yu Fei also sat over.
"Brother Yun Duan, Sister Yu Fei, do you really think there is such a strange person?" Feng Xuan asked.
"Who can say this clearly, every place has its own beliefs, many of which we can't understand, but they are used to it, and slowly it becomes a rule. Yu Fei said.
At night, seeing Sister Ashan sleeping alone on the ground in the distance, Yufei wanted to take a piece of clothing and cover her, but she saw that the woman kept scratching her body.
Yu Fei covered her with a dress and returned to the tent.
"Yu Fei, what did you just tell her?" Yun Du and Feng Xuan asked as they spoke.
"I don't know, but she's sleeping profusely, and she's saying 'It's so itchy,' and 'she's going to heal soon.'" ”
Yun Du thought for a moment, "If there are really a few cracks on her body, then maybe the wound is scabbed, and it will feel itchy."
"She was stripped of a small piece of flesh today," Feng Xuan said, "and she didn't feel pain, but she was thinking about it." ”
After a while, the woman began to speak, "My little darling, when will you be back?" ”
Yu Fei looked at Yun Dui, "You say, did she really go down the mountain to pick leaves today? Or is she looking for her bugs?" ”
"Possibly," Yundui smiled helplessly, "if that bug doesn't come back to her, her wound will be completely healed." ”
