Chapter 166: Gu Worm Calamity
"I see! Worms, black worms, I coughed up worms, so my body is getting better, but Bai Lu hasn't coughed up yet, so my nerves will continue to be disturbed by worms. I blurted out.
"Worms? You spit out worms, what do you look like, can you tell me about it? Yun Wen asked with concern.
"The whole body is covered in black, squirming forward, seemingly brainless, emitting a strong pungent smell, falling to the ground and curling up in reality, and then squirming and crawling and quickly fleeing, the smell is the same as the ghost claw flower I accidentally smelled before, but it is sour, similar to its rotten taste, and there is some indescribable stench." I said.
"To hear you say, it looks like a maggot, but the maggot is flesh-colored, and you say it's covered in black and has a strange smell, isn't it some kind of mutated maggot? And if it is the use of bugs to affect the cranial nerves, this is like the use of witchcraft by some black witches, is it possible that this maggot is the so-called corpse maggot Gu worm? Yun Wen asked.
"It seems so, do you have a way to deal with it?" I asked.
"There is a reason for it, tonight all this blames me for provoking Yingchun first, causing a series of things to happen, and because of this, Sister Bai Lu was harmed, I should do my best to see if I can help Sister Bai Lu solve the Gu worm, when I used to make small talk, Sister Bai Lu mentioned some cases of Gu worms and the like, generally speaking, the Gu people will not live for seven or eight days, I will try to save it first, if it doesn't work, then there is only one way." Yun Wen said.
"It's none of your business, I didn't hold back my anger, don't blame yourself so much. What's the last resort? I asked.
"Find the Gu caster and let him unravel it, otherwise there is no way." Yun Wen said.
The sisters of the Song family, one is missing, one is poisoned, half-dead, we who could still get together to chat two days ago, changed all of a sudden, the so-called born in sorrow and died in peace, some time ago there was too much peace, and the extremes of things were the opposite, so that such an incident was backlogged and brewed, although it was just a small matter, it was just a big hair in the vinegar altar of the Spring Festival, and I took the opportunity to vent.
But these things are also too much thought about in the leisure time on weekdays, and the accumulation will break out so fiercely after a long time, and there will be more time to think more when you are idle, and if you have more things on your mind, you will be depressed, and if you suppress it for a long time, there will be problems, just like a flood that is about to burst the embankment, everything seems to be idle in the mountains, thinking that everything has been decided, but this kind of thing in the wild wasteland, without a sense of crisis, is to dig your own grave after all.
In the past two days, I have been in poor health, and Yun Wen is also helping Bai Lu try to draw out the Gu worms, so they are all left in the house for temporary repairs, as for the Spring Festival, we can't take care of looking for it for the time being, and the things that can be eaten in the house have long been urgent, only fungus, wild vegetable roots, and red dates can be eaten, and flour and canned food have long been eaten.
Since the previous month, I have been trying to go to the beach to pick up the sea fish, shells and the like left on the beach, and bring them back to eat, but now there is no condition, so all I can eat is these vegetarian things, without a trace of meat, just mix some sesame oil and stir-fry to enhance the flavor.
Two days passed in a blink of an eye, mainly I mostly slept, and Yunwen did everything else, opening ditches and watering, feeding horses, stewing soup and cooking, caring for the sick, and taking care of me.
On this day and night, Yun Wen turned on the battery, the lights were all on, she came to the bedside, to me, looking depressed, I heard the loud sound of the waterwheel turning outside, and I expected what was happening, so I said, "The spring is frozen, right?" “
She nodded and said, "Well, Sister Bai Lu can't do it anymore, the Gu worms can't be lured out, they can't be forced out, and they can't even be caught with blood as bait, so if you wait a few days, Bai Lu will die." In addition, we can turn on the lights for the last night in this house tonight, and if we don't do something, it is likely that we will attract that red-eyed filth and make us all die of Gu poison. ”
I sighed, and I also knew in my heart that Yun Wen's analysis was true, whether it was to save Bai Lu or not, or our own survival problems, we would inevitably take the initiative to attack, and strive to make the red-eyed monster solve Bai Lu's Gu poison, and kill it to relieve future troubles, so that we can truly survive.
Now that things have come to this point, there is no need to back down, just follow Yun Wen's train of thought.
"Well, since the red-eyed monster has pushed us into a desperate situation, then we can only fight with our lives once, take the initiative, bring the only food we have, and win this battle for survival." I said.
Yun Wen nodded and said, "Not only to win the battle for survival, but also to save Sister Bai Lu, maybe you can find the missing and snatched Sister Yingchun." ”
"Yes, this battle is about survival, and it is also about everyone's life and death, let's fight." I said.
After the discussion, Yun Wen made some roasted fungus and some red dates and herbs stewed soup to make me up for some strength, and then led me upstairs, and took me to see Bai Lu who was still in the room of the blue number, I didn't see her for a few days, she looked like a withered tree, her face was pale, almost out of phase, due to the constriction of her forehead, she couldn't even hold her glasses, she shivered like a chill, lying on the floor of this room, surrounded by medicine jars.
Because Bai Lu often screamed, Yun Wen carried her on the second floor during the day, and would only take it downstairs to sleep with me at night, just so that I could have the maximum amount of rest, for fear that I would be disturbed.
I can't help but feel distressed when I see Bai Lu like this, I still remember that two months ago, she swore that she would try to treat me as a family, work together, eliminate estrangement, and said that she would listen to me more in the future, full of trust, but in a blink of an eye, her life and death are unknown, all because I couldn't help but be angry and stumbled with Yingchun, which led to such a follow-up.
It's hard to feel guilty, and it's a waste of her trust.
After reading Bai Lu, Yun Wen took me to the Meizi room next door, where the fragrance of flowers wafted in the room, and a desk was filled with all kinds of charcoal, writing or drawing papers, all from the useless pages in the cellar, and the blank ones on the back were used by her for calligraphy and painting.
"Zhou Bo, look at this." Yun Wen pulled out the third piece of paper and handed it to me.
"What is this?" I asked.
"Do you remember when we were sacrificed at the top of the Clawed Dragon Mountain, I was called by you to hide under the bronze dome of the sacrificer?" Yun Wen asked.
"Yes." I said.
"This is the pattern I touched under the Ding, I drew it down from memory, this pattern is similar to a kind of ancient divine beast, the human face snake body, should be called the candle nine yin, also called the candle dragon, I heard that it is a god, in charge of time, but also a totem of the belief of the witch clan, this I think it may be related to the red-eyed monster, after all, there was a tribe in the ancient tribe before the Western Zhou Dynasty, there was a tribe that admired the power of the candle nine yin, and that tribe was called the blood pupil clan, because their eyes were red, so the title." Yun Wen said.
"You mean, the red-eyed monsters are descendants of the Blood Pupils? But it was evident to me last night that the other party was not a man, but some kind of ape, so it might just be some kind of coincidence. I said.
Yun Wen also fell into doubt, thought for a while, and said: "I don't know the reason for this, but the reason why the name of this blood pupil clan is known is precisely because of the creation of a thing, called [Yin Eclipse], we have seen this thing, and we happened to see the monster with blood red eyes, and I always feel that there is something to do with it, although I don't know what it is, but this is very important. ”
"It's very likely, you've already thought of countermeasures in the past two days?" I asked.
She nodded and said, "Yes, the more I look at Sister Bai Lu like that, the more guilty I feel, the more I owe it, and the more I will think about this, although it is a last helpless move, I also want to prepare some in advance." The important message is that the Blood Pupils have been cursed to never see the light, so we can find it during the day, do you think you can give it a try? ”
I sneered and said, "Good idea, it dares to bully people so much at night, we should find it during the day, and beat it all over the ground to find teeth." ”
