"Why can't it be me?" The man said as he slowly climbed up from the water to the shore. And he was none other than the one-eyed old man we had seen earlier in the broken tiled house.

"You old fellow, what did you do with them?" Although I was surprised by the sudden appearance of this one-eyed old man, I was still more worried about the life and death of Hua Muling and Xiong Ming.

So, I tried to get up from the ground and tried to walk towards Hua Muling and them, but before I could take two steps, suddenly the soles of my feet were soft and the whole person fell straight ahead, and fell a.

"If I were you, I wouldn't move!" At this time, the one-eyed old man suddenly spoke.

I glared at the one-eyed old man and said loudly, "What did you do to me?" ”

The one-eyed old man glanced at me with one eye disdainfully, and snorted coldly, "I didn't do anything to you. Don't you know everything just by looking at your feet? ”

Hearing the one-eyed old man say this, I subconsciously looked at my right leg.

At this glance, I suddenly realized that there were four or five fist-sized bulges on my right leg.

What scared me even more was that the bulges were constantly swinging from side to side, and it looked as if something was squirming inside.

I shouted at the one-eyed old man in amazement, "This ...... What is it? ”

The one-eyed old man didn't even look at me, but threw a knife at me and said coldly, "Pick them out!" If it's a little later, it'll be too late. ”

I picked up the knife on the ground, looked at the one-eyed old man in amazement, and asked, "You want me to pick them out of my skin myself?" ”

The one-eyed old man didn't even look at me this time, and said coldly: "Pick or choose, anyway, those things will get into your brain for a while, and when you start a madness, I will kill you directly, old man." ”

The one-eyed old man said very plainly, but to me, it sounded like five thunderbolts, and the whole person's brain buzzed, and I couldn't help but think in my heart: "What? Can this thing get into my head? What exactly are they? When did it get into my body? Why don't I feel anything at all? ”

But at this moment, I suddenly felt a tingling sensation in my legs, and then, the four or five fist-sized bulges began to drill up along my legs at a speed visible to the naked eye.

I couldn't help but be shocked, so I hurriedly picked up the knife and pointed it at the top bulge and stabbed it.

As I lifted the knife and fell, a gray-white, white-white, transparent, loach-like fish of less than ten centimeters was picked out of the wound by me and fell to the ground.

As soon as the gray-white and weird little loach left my wound, it opened its mouth wide and made a cricket-like cry, and after rolling on the ground for a while, it suddenly stiffened, and then began to twitch continuously, and less than a second later, the strange loach suddenly burst open with a "bang" on the spot.

I couldn't help but be shocked when I saw this, and immediately I didn't dare to stop, and I divided the four or five fist-sized bulges on my legs by three, and picked out the strange loaches inside one by one from the wounds and threw them to the ground.

With a crisp pop, bursts of cold sweat began to flow down my head and back.

After a long time, I came to my senses, looked at the one-eyed old man and asked in surprise, "These...... What the hell are these things? ”

The one-eyed old man heard my question and replied lightly: "Blood loach!" ”

I was amazed, "Blood loach? What's that? These two of my friends were also attacked by these damn blood loaches, so they got unconscious? ”

The one-eyed old man nodded and said coldly, "That's right! However, the girl was better, and I don't know why the blood loach didn't attack it, she just choked on a few mouthfuls of water and simply fainted. But the big black guy ......"

The one-eyed old man suddenly paused when he said this, and I hurriedly asked, "What's wrong with him?" ”

The one-eyed old man said slowly, "He's not so lucky. He drank too much water, and the water was full of these bloody loach eggs. I've tried my best to clean up the blood loaches that have attached to him, but some of them still burrow into his body, and whether he survives depends on his creation. ”

I hurriedly asked, "How can I save him?" ”

The one-eyed old man glanced at me, and then said slowly: "It's actually very simple to save this big black man, find something called tiger skin Houttuynia cordata, take it internally on the rhizomes and branches and leaves, and you can force out all the blood loaches in your body." Subsequently, boil water with glutinous rice, soaked black fungus, and red dates, and drink it for three days. It's not that hard, but it's ......"

I hurriedly asked, "But what?" ”

The one-eyed old man said, "However, this tiger skin Houttuynia cordata is not a common Houttuynia cordata. It is said that these things are extremely rare, and most of them grow in extremely cold places, and I have only seen the old man once in his life. ”

I was amazed, "What? So hard to find? Grandma's, what can I do? ”

Just as I was scratching my ears and cheeks in a hurry, a thought suddenly flashed through my mind - "dragon like a golden mouse".

When I think of this name, I can't help but be overjoyed: "Yes! There is also that little thing, it is the most able to discover the spiritual things in the world, and the tiger skin Houttuynia cordata is so rare, it can definitely be regarded as a spiritual thing in the world. With this little thing, wouldn't it be easy to find this tiger skin Houttuynia cordata? ”

Thinking of this, I immediately got up and looked around to find the figure of the dragon elephant golden mouse, but to my surprise, I looked for this place three times inside and out, but I didn't see the figure of the dragon elephant golden rat at all.

I asked the one-eyed old man a little angrily, "Have you seen a big yellow and white mouse?" ”

The one-eyed old man said coldly, "You mean the dragon elephant golden rat? ”

I was surprised and asked, "You...... You know that thing? ”

The one-eyed old man nodded and said, "Of course! It's what I raised, how could I not recognize it? ”

I clenched my fists and asked in surprise, "What?" You raised that dragon elephant golden rat? ”

The one-eyed old man said, "What? Do you believe it or not? Or are you going to use the robbery? You made rhubarb look like that, I haven't settled accounts with you yet, and you're going to be tough again? Is that what you do to the man who just saved your life? ”

Hearing the one-eyed old man say this, my feet that I had been walking towards him suddenly stopped in mid-air, and I couldn't help but think: "Indeed, although this guy doesn't know whether he is friend or foe, he really saved us." If I really plan to rob the dragon elephant golden rat, it will indeed damage the morality of the rivers and lakes, but ...... But if you don't grab it, Xiong Ming doesn't know how long he will be able to survive. If this guy hangs here like this, I don't think I will live in peace for the rest of my life. ”

The one-eyed old man seemed to see what was on my mind, and said coldly, "You don't have to worry too much about your friend. Although there are a few blood loaches that have burrowed into his body, his health is good, and the old man and I have a way to suppress those blood loaches, so he will not be able to die for a while. As long as you do something for me, I will naturally lend you rhubarb to find the tiger skin Houttuynia cordata. ”

I was overjoyed and said, "Really! ”

The one-eyed old man said coldly: "Naturally, it's true! Am I going to be kidding you? ”

Hearing the one-eyed old man say this, I immediately bowed deeply to him, and said respectfully, "Thank you, old man!" I just don't know, what do you need the three of us to do for you? ”

The one-eyed old man said lightly: "You'll know later!" ”

The one-eyed old man slowly took off his shirt, revealing his dark skin and shocking scars.

The scars were neither knife wounds nor burns, but rather marks from the bite of some unknown bug.

Looking at the one-eyed old man's scar that made my scalp tingle, I couldn't help but sigh in my heart: "This guy ...... What did this guy go through when he was younger? ”

The one-eyed old man obviously noticed the change in my gaze, looked at the scars on his body, and then said with a wry smile: "Everyone has a past that they don't want to recall!" ”

After saying that, the one-eyed old man walked to the side, took out a rather large package from behind a stone, took out a few pieces of clothing from it, and after choosing some of them, threw two of the black clothes and pants to me, and said, "If you wear this, the size should be appropriate!" ”

I took the black shirt and pants and took a look, it was a set of Adi Wang's sportswear, although the style was a little old, but it was brand new.

"Thanks!" After I finished speaking, I took off my tattered clothes and put on this early 90s style tracksuit.

The one-eyed old man also found himself a blue shirt and black pants that looked like the village party secretary and changed them into, and then took out an oiled paper bag from the big cloth bag, took out a cigarette without a filter from the oiled paper bag, handed it to me and asked, "Do you smoke?" ”

I nodded, took the cigarette and looked at it, there was no brand that was purely hand-rolled.

I don't usually smoke this kind of cigarette, but at this time, there is nothing to pick, and it is already worth thanking for a cigarette, where can I ask for food and dislike it, isn't it?

So, he arched his hand at the one-eyed old man to express his gratitude.

The one-eyed old man struck a match, lit his cigarette, and handed it to me. I took the match and lit the cigarette in my hand, and took a hard puff, the rich, dry, and spicy smell made me cough dryly for a long time.

It took me a long time to get back to that strength, I cleared my throat vigorously, and then I reluctantly asked, "Old man, what kind of cigarette are you smoking?" Why is it so strong? ”
