As it turned out, I was right, these skeletons had been in this damp environment for a long time, and they had long since decayed, and our trekking poles and sticks could easily break their bones.

After some stirring, the scene was already unsightly, the ground was littered with bone fragments, and the skeletons that had fallen into the water were hugging each other, cutting off the water like garbage in the sewer.

Although these skeletons don't smell bad, the way they squirm is enough to make people sick to their stomachs.

I just had people line up in a row and sweep the skeletons into the caves behind them like a playground.

Driven away the skeletons, and everyone drove away their fears, everyone stood at the edge of the cavern, laughing and discussing what was going on with these skeletons.

Suddenly, one of them coughed twice around his neck, followed by the others coughing as well.

Before I could understand it, I noticed that my throat was a little blocked, and my breathing was only in and out.

"Everyone, run, run out!" I hurriedly shouted.

When everyone heard the noise, they hurriedly ran to get their luggage.

I stretched out my trekking poles and hit the first person who went to get my luggage, and then scolded:

"Leave that thing out of here, run!"

Then everyone ran towards the outside of the cave.

But it's easier said than done, this road is all slopes, and the road is very narrow, if you don't pay attention, there is a risk of falling into the cave, and before we have run a few hundred meters, someone is lying on the ground and can't get up.

I quickly asked the others to help them up, but they sat down on the ground and said that they were not going to run any further.

I had trekking poles in my hand, and I didn't care about the weight of my own hands, and I hit them hard.

"Get up, don't sit down, you can't get up again if you sit down!" I scolded as I struck.

But it was too late, and I felt that the air I had inhaled was severely insufficient, and my lungs were even more suffocated, and I was already hallucinating in front of my eyes.

At that moment, I suddenly felt something stuffed into my nose, and it stinked so badly that I couldn't tell what it was.

Just when I was puzzled, I found that my breathing was a little easier, and the feeling of suffocation in my lungs was greatly reduced.

My vision gradually returned, and then I saw a figure walking around the crowd lying on the ground.

After a while, I could see what was in front of me, and then I saw Long Quan coming towards me.

"Brother He, how do you feel?" Long Quan asked.

"It's you! How could you~~"

"Don't ask so much yet, get out quickly, my plaster only works temporarily!"

With that, Long Quan helped me up, and then beckoned everyone to run out of the cave.

Everyone stumbled and ran for almost half an hour before finally escaping from the cave, and as soon as they got out of the cave, everyone lay on the ground.

Then I realized that it was already dark, and we had been in the cave for a whole day, and after a day of tossing, when I ran out again, I felt like I was in a different world.

The two boatmen found us, and they quickly ran over and helped us to the camp, and the two boatmen climbed down at some point, and I saw them cooking by the campfire.

After returning to the camp, everyone first took a sip of water, and then they began to discuss.

Discussions came and went, and everyone finally focused on me, while I kept looking at Long Quan, who was busy coming and going.

"Mr. He, Mr. Qiu, what happened just now, did you hit a ghost?" Someone asked.

"It's a corpse rotting fungus~~" Qiu Yan replied first, but I stopped her.

"I think it's best for Long Quan to answer this question, Long Quan, I think what happened just now, you should know better than us!" I looked at Long Quan and said.

Long Quan gave the kettle to a man beside him, then sat down and said:

"Okay, I'll tell you.

Mr. Qiu is right, just now we were poisoned by corpse rotting fungi, fortunately I brought the ancestral ointment, otherwise, everyone would have to explain it inside! ”

After saying that, Long Quan stopped talking.

Obviously, this was not the answer I was looking for, I narrowed my eyes into a slit, then looked at Long Quan, and asked:

"That's all? Nothing else? Your sword, your ointment, why didn't you fall into it? Aren't you going to explain it properly? ”

After listening to my words, Qiu Yan was stunned for a moment, and then looked at Long Quan as well.

Long Quan seemed embarrassed by our staring, he lowered his head, suddenly laughed, and then looked up and said:

"Okay, I say!"

Long Quan crossed his legs, then straightened his posture, he gently placed the cedar stick on his legs, took a deep breath, and said:

"I'm Miao!"

I squirted out a mouthful of water.

Originally, the three words Miao people were just a minority for me, but since I read the broken book, I instinctively regarded the protagonist in the book as myself, so when I heard Long Quan call himself a Miao person, I suddenly had a feeling of finding an enemy.

"My ancestors used to be witch doctors in Miao Village, and they knew a lot about things like Gu poison, so it's not surprising that I know such things as corpse rotting mushrooms and how to deal with them.

As for my sword, it was handed down from my ancestors, which is an heirloom in my family, and I love martial arts, so it's okay to take it with you! ”

Again, seamlessly, it seems that all the questions are ready with answers, and these answers always surprise people's hearts, and then think about it carefully, and feel that it makes sense, so that it not only satisfies the curiosity of the listener, but also seems to answer the question, so that the listener does not want to ask any further.

However, Long Quan can deceive others, but he can't deceive me.

"Why didn't you say these things earlier?" I asked.

Long Quan laughed and replied:

"These are very ordinary, but very personal things, I don't think I need to arrest someone and tell him that I am a descendant of the Miao Gu Witch Doctor, wouldn't that be a fool?"

"Ordinary? Corpse rotting fungus is not something that ordinary people can know, but you happen to have the ointment with you so coincidentally? Also, you should also know the stone I gave to the second baby, you seem to be very sure that the stone has no effect on the second baby! ”

Long Quan still had such a harmless smile, he crawled over with his hands on his body, patted me on the leg, and said:

"Brother He, if you have any doubts, just ask, I will definitely answer honestly, we don't have to make the atmosphere so stiff!"

Long Quan's words drew everyone's eyes to me, as if I was being unforgiving.

I relaxed my tense body a little, barely showed a smile, and said:

"Hey, I was just a little nervous in the cave just now, okay, let's talk well, you can answer my question first."

"Okay, Brother He, I'll answer!

First of all, my ointment is not specifically for the treatment of corpse rotting bacteria, this ointment is our Miao doctor mixed a lot of medicinal materials, used to treat dizziness and palpitation and other symptoms, you know, the miasma in the mountains is heavy, many insects and snakes are poisonous, this ointment can not only cure dizziness and palpitation, but also ease the paralyzing effect of these venom for a certain period of time, can buy a little time for poisoned people.

Actually, I didn't know if this ointment was useful at all, but I just saw everyone fall down, so I was lucky enough to try it, and I didn't know if it really worked. ”

"So, what about the stone? I look at you, it seems familiar! I asked.

"By the way, the stone, in fact, it is not a stone, it is a special kind of artificial amber.

This kind of amber was often used as a Gu cup in the past, and people in the past put some sporadic drugs or poisons in it, and then coated it with a layer of special medicinal materials, these medicinal materials eroded some small holes in the amber, and those drugs and poisons could be slowly dissipated, the purpose of this is to let the person who releases the Gu not fall into the Gu, and then let the Gu poison be distributed for a long time.

Of course, the art of making this amber has long been lost, and I heard about it from the elders of my family, who knew that I would be lucky enough to see it with my own eyes.

Oh, by the way, although the Gu in this amber and the medicinal herbs on it have been emitted for a long time, they can only last for a few days, so I know that after hundreds of years, those ambers are harmless to people. ”

After listening to Long Quan's narration, I almost applauded him, and obviously the others had already been conquered by his answer, I saw Qiu Yan nodding at Long Quan, and the people around Long Quan also patted him on the shoulder.

Although Long Quan's answer was seamless, I still couldn't really believe him, of course, I couldn't find fault with his words, so naturally it was not good to continue to ask.

"Okay, you answered the truth, and we don't have anything to say, but I still have to say it, everyone is in the same boat, don't hide anything in the end, you see, don't everyone understand when you say it?"

At this time, Qiu Yan also got up and said:

"Everyone has worked hard today, eat something first, and then rest for the night, and we'll talk about other things tomorrow."

Long Quan got up and bowed to everyone, said sorry generously, and then went over to the campfire to help.

I secretly glanced at Qiu Yan and Xiang Wei, and saw that they looked nonchalant, as if they both believed in Long Quan.

Erwa brought me a bowl of fragrant stewed rice with dried meat and vegetables, and my appetite was immediately aroused.

I asked Erwa and the two boatmen came down, what would happen to the animals.

The second baby smiled and said Brother Zimu, you don't understand, there are grass and trees on this mountain, as long as they are tied with ropes, those animals are only sons who will not starve to death for ten days and half a month.

"Besides, let's go up and see if we'll be okay at intervals!" Erwa also emphasized in the end.

"Brother Zimu, you take me into the cave tomorrow, it's not interesting outside at all, the two old men are more smug than me!" The second baby saw that I was happy to eat, so she begged.

I raised my hand and slapped it on his head:

"You melon baby! Didn't you see that we almost all died inside? If you want to go down, no way! ”

The second baby pouted and snatched away the rice bowl I hadn't finished eating.

"Don't eat my food if you don't let me go down! Hum! ”

......

At night, I finally persuaded the angry second baby to be happy, and was about to go to bed, but Qiu Yan came over.

"Zimu, come on."

I followed Qiu Yan out of the camp and came to a big rock.

There was no fog in the canyon tonight, and we rarely saw the moon and stars overhead.

"We've lost all our luggage underneath, what are you going to do?" Qiu Yan asked.

I looked at the crescent moon above my head, and couldn't help sighing, under such a moonlight, talk about ideals and talk about how good life is, you have to talk about those things of life and death, isn't it a bad scenery?

"I'm tired today, let's think about these things tomorrow!" I yawned and said.

"Zimu, you know I'm not going to give up, right?" Qiu Yan looked at me and asked very seriously.

"I know!" I said with a smile.
