The one-eyed old man saw that I was choked with tears by the local smoke, and couldn't help but smile slightly, and said, "This is the tobacco leaves that only exist in the mountains of Guizhou!" Okay, yes! If you can't get used to it, give it back to me, and you won't be blind. ”

The one-eyed old man was about to reach out and take the cigarette in my hand, but I hurriedly flashed back sideways and said, "Don't, old man! I just asked what kind of cigarette it was, and I didn't say I wouldn't smoke it! Why are you still asking for it back!

When the one-eyed old man saw me hiding backwards, he didn't say anything more, withdrew his hand, and squatted on the edge of the fire and smoked a cigarette.

Don't say it, the first few puffs of this smoke were so thick and spicy that I almost choked to death. However, when I smoked the second half, I began to vaguely feel that there was a faint sweetness in the tobacco, or more precisely, a sweetness mixed with fruity aromas.

I couldn't help but be stunned, looked down at the cigarette in my hand, and then smashed the taste in my mouth.

I couldn't help but think to myself, "What kind of tobacco is this?" It's so fragrant, the silky feeling when inhaled into the nasal cavity, the pure sweetness, it's just gas Dove! ”

Thinking of this, I couldn't help but put the remaining small half of the cigarette into my mouth, and took a big puff, I didn't exhale it immediately, but closed my mouth and let the sweet breath turn in my mouth several times, and then I spit out contentedly.

The one-eyed old man couldn't help but smile when he saw me: "Now I know that this is a good thing!" ”

I nodded vigorously and sighed, "Old man, what the hell are you smoking?" How can it have such a sweet taste? ”

The one-eyed old man looked at me, and after a while said slowly, "Boy, what kind of tobacco leaves are rolled in this dirt tobacco?" You'd better not know. If you like, smoke two more. I still have half a pack, and if it's done later, I'll give it to you! ”

At the mention of the old man with the one-eyed man asking me to help him, I couldn't help but be curious, and asked, "What do you want me to do for you?" ”

The one-eyed old man looked at me, and then said word by word, "It's not you, it's the three of you!" ”

I was amazed, "What? You want the three of us to do something for you? But now they ......"

Before I could finish my sentence, the one-eyed old man suddenly put his index finger to his lips, made a silent gesture to me, and lowered his voice and said, "There is movement!" Don't talk! ”

Seeing the one-eyed old man in such a nervous state, I immediately closed my mouth and pricked up my ears to listen carefully to all the sounds around me.

However, I listened for a long time, and there was silence around me, except for the deathly silence, and there was no sound anywhere.

I looked at the one-eyed old man in amazement, but I saw that he was looking at the stone wall not far away with a frightened expression, as if he had seen a ghost.

I was shocked and hurriedly asked, "Old man, what's wrong with you?" ”

The one-eyed old man pointed to the wall not far away and said tremblingly, "It's ...... It's still here! ”

"He? Old man, who are you talking about? I asked, surprised, as I looked in the direction of the one-eyed old man's finger, and noticed that there was a bright red "bloody handprint" on the wall at some point.

Seeing this bloody handprint, I couldn't help but be shocked, and secretly exclaimed: "Isn't this the bloody handprint I saw in the corridor?" At first, I thought that the mudra was deliberately left by Camuring, but now it seems that it is not at all. So since it's not Hua Muling's, whose is it? Who scared this one-eyed old man so much? ”

Thinking of this, I hurriedly asked, "Old man, do you know who left this bloody handprint?" Who the hell is he? ”

But no matter how much I asked, the one-eyed old man didn't seem to hear me, and just said to himself, "It's too late, it's ...... Be quick...... You must be there before it comes out! ”

I grabbed the one-eyed old man's arm and asked loudly, "What the hell are you talking about, old man?" When is it too late? Where do you let us go? ”

The one-eyed old man still did not answer my words, but shook off my hand and strode behind the stone.

I saw the one-eyed old man rummaging behind the stone for a while, and took out a small gray-white cloth bag from behind. Immediately afterwards, he walked quickly to Hua Muling and Xiong Ming with a small cloth bag, and took out a small porcelain bottle that looked like a snuff box from the small cloth bag.

Seeing this, I hurriedly covered my mouth and nose with my hands. But the one-eyed old man didn't seem to care at all, he took the porcelain vase and shook it under the noses of Hua Muling and Xiong Ming respectively, and then poured out some dark green viscous liquid from it, and smeared it on the temples of the two people.

After a series of actions, the one-eyed old man carefully put the small porcelain vase back into the cloth bag and took two steps back.

I was about to ask the one-eyed old man what he was doing, but before I could open my mouth, I heard two sounds of "wow, wow", and Xiong Ming and Hua Muling, who were originally like two dead people, suddenly turned to one side and began to spit black water outward.

Hua Muling was fine, after four or five mouthfuls of vomiting, the vomit had begun to become normal and no longer blackened.

But Xiong Ming on the other side was not so lucky, this guy was like a big bear who had drunk too much, holding on to the stones on the side and vomiting black water one after another, and what made people's scalps tingle was that the black water that spit out was mixed with countless black loaches the size of fingernails.

After rolling on the ground for a while, the loaches the size of fingernails suddenly stiffened, and then like tiny firecrackers, they began to explode on the ground, and the black and red flesh splashed everywhere.

Seeing this scene in front of me, I couldn't help but feel a chill down my spine, and at this moment, Hua Muling, who was originally half-sitting up on the side, suddenly shook her body and was about to fall, I hurriedly ran over to help her.

Hua Muling, who had obviously regained consciousness after vomiting, looked at me and asked, "Just now...... What happened just now? ”

I looked at Hua Muling's bloodless face, and a trace of distress passed in my heart, and I sighed: "There is a kind of bloody loach egg in this water, and you and the strong bear accidentally drank the water in this river, so you fell into the way." Fortunately, this old man saved the two of you. ”

As I spoke, I pointed to the one-eyed old man standing nearby, who was staring at the bloody handprint on the wall, instead of looking at us.

Hua Muling's reaction to the one-eyed old man in the direction of my finger was almost exactly the same as the expression I had when I first saw the guy.

I only heard Hua Muling ask in surprise: "What...... How could it be him? How did he end up here? ”

I shook my head and smiled bitterly, "This is what I have always been unable to understand. ”

Just as I was talking to Hua Muling, Xiong Ming, who had been vomiting wildly, finally vomited all the bits and pieces in his stomach. Listening to the sound of "poof", this guy sat on the ground with his butt, and from time to time there was a very poor moan in his mouth.

After a long while, Xiong Ming slowly spoke: "Grandma's, Lao Tzu feels like he almost hung up this time." ”

After speaking, Xiong Ming raised his eyes to look at me, and then at the one-eyed old man standing on the side. And when he saw the one-eyed old man, the whole person jumped up as if he had stepped on the electric door.

Xiong Ming clenched his fists and asked loudly, "Why is this old guy here?" Hu Tian, did you say that this old guy set a trap for Master Xiong? Did he make Lao Tzu faint suddenly? At this time, you almost vomited all the bitter gall? ”

Xiong Ming, this guy was about to roll up his sleeves to beat the one-eyed old man as he spoke, and I immediately stopped him when I saw this, and told Xiong Ming the ins and outs of the matter in the most simple and clear language.

I spat and said for a long time, Xiong Ming reluctantly put down his fist, gritted his teeth and said: "Grandma, even if Lao Tzu owes you a favor, I will definitely pay you back if I have the chance!" ”

But as soon as Xiong Ming's words fell, the one-eyed old man immediately turned to look at him and said word by word: "Don't wait for the opportunity, there is a chance for you to repay my life-saving grace now." ”

After Xiong Ming listened, he was stunned for a moment, and then said loudly: "Uncle, you really know how to get off the donkey!" ”

The one-eyed old man ignored Xiong Ming's aggressiveness, but turned to me and said word by word: "Don't forget, you still need Houttuynia cordata!" And don't forget, you promised me to do something for me. ”

Xiong Ming was confused as he listened, and asked loudly, "What tiger skin and what grass?" Hu Tian, what did your uncle promise him? ”

I stretched out my hand to stop Xiong Ming and motioned him to shut up and stop talking, Xiong Ming stood aside angrily and stopped talking, while I turned to look at the one-eyed old man and said, "Of course I remember." That's why I keep asking you, what do you need me to do for you, old man? ”

After listening to my answer, the one-eyed old man nodded with satisfaction and said, "I need you to go to a place and help me get something." ”

I asked, "Where to go?" And what to take? ”

The one-eyed old man pointed to the bloody handprint wall and said, "Your time is running out, it's already out, you must get there in front of it, get that thing." I wasn't going to let you go this way. However, now we have to take the risk and give it a try. ”

I asked in surprise, "Old man, I didn't understand you too much. ”

The one-eyed old man said, "You don't need to understand what I mean, you just need to remember what I said." I'll just say it once, it's up to you whether you live or die. Listen up! Behind this stone wall is a passage that goes down all the way, and you go twenty-seven steps forward and then turn right, and then you go forty-seven steps and then turn left, and finally you go forward seventy-six steps and stop. At this time, you will hear twenty-four brass bells, and when the ground is eighteen, you slap three times on the left wall, remember the eighteenth sound, remember the left wall, and remember that you will clap three times. Otherwise, you do it at your own risk, got it? ”
