Chapter 20: The Panacea
Gunshots rang out in the silence of the night.
It's not the first time I've shot, but it's the first time I've shot a bullet at a person, a living person.
At the moment when I pulled the trigger and machine, I regretted it a little, if the lame old seven was shot to death by himself, would he be arrested and sent to prison?
After all, it is a person who has graduated from nine years of compulsory education, and he has always been in awe of the laws of society.
Whatever the reason, murder is a crime.
So for a while, I was a little confused.
"Lao Yan, why are you stunned, hurry up!"
At this time, Lao Fei got rid of the entanglement and entanglement of the third uncle, and pulled me to the back of the house.
I took the time to look back, only to see the lame old seven still lying on the yard, smiling coldly at me. Maybe it was because he was so nervous just now, and the shot just hit him in the shoulder.
Blood flowed from the wound, but he didn't care, and even stretched out his long tongue and head to the wound.
Then he chased after us like a lizard, and his movements were suddenly and swift, as did the rest of the villagers who had been poisoned.
It was as if they were enchanted, their strength more than doubled that of usual, and they didn't know the pain.
On top of that, deep in their green eyes was a deep resentment towards the three of us, perhaps the snake's hatred for me and Yan Xiaoying.
It was we who prevented it from entering the sea to turn into a dragon, and it resented us deeply.
Behind the house is a high wall, there is no way out, outside the wall is a lychee tree, branches grow and come in.
Perhaps it was because she was overly frightened, and the little girl in Yan Xiaoying's arms fell into a coma.
She handed the little girl into my arms, looking for a way out, at this time the lame old seven and the third uncle had already chased, I wanted to hand over the little girl to the old fat to take care of, I stepped forward to stop them, buy a little time.
Unexpectedly, Lao Fei's face turned fierce at the moment, and he cursed and rushed up with a fork, first flipped the fork of the third uncle, and then flew to pounce on the lame old seven, which can be described as extremely brave.
But in less than half a minute, he was first hugged by the third uncle's legs, and in a hurry, his clothes were torn by the claws of the lame old Qiyi, and he fled back in embarrassment.
"Come on!"
Yan Xiaoying had already climbed the fence at this time and motioned for me to hand the little girl to her.
Seeing this, where do I dare to delay?
After handing the little girl to her, I looked at Lao Fei again, and saw that his clothes were torn all over his body, and he was almost bitten by the lame Lao Qi.
I stepped forward to help, and the two of them didn't care to get rid of the entanglement and entanglement, and then two more snake people came.
The old fat was angry, his old face turned red, and he yelled when he saw this: "The tiger is not powerful, is it really a sick cat, fight!" ”
When I saw that the fat man was about to rush up, I quickly stopped him and said, "The hero doesn't suffer the loss in front of him, let's go first." ”
With Yan Xiaoying answering on the wall, Lao Fei and I easily climbed over the wall.
At that moment, the three of them took the little girl who had passed out of the coma, and fled from the village in a hurry like a lost dog.
Out of the village, all the way out of the circle of lime and sulfur powder, we breathed a sigh of relief.
After finding a safe place, we sat down to rest while Yan Xiaoying took care of the little girl. I looked at the old fat and asked him if he had been bitten by the snake man just now.
The old fat was angry, and at this time he scolded and scolded, saying that he would go back to settle accounts with the snake people, and turned a deaf ear to my words.
I was speechless, and I didn't know how this product got mixed up from the university, and I was stunned to become half a public servant.
In fact, he came to me for an internship for half a year or a year, and then transferred to the Forestry Bureau, which can be regarded as a full-fledged civil servant.
This product will be on the top as soon as there is a fight, and it is estimated that it has come to this point because of the relationship.
After a few words of persuasion, Lao Fei quieted down, glanced at his torn clothes, and told me that he had been guarding against them biting just now, so he was not bitten, but he had scratched a few wounds on his calf.
I looked at the wound on his leg, the blood had not changed color, and I felt a little relieved.
"Tianyan, come and see!"
At this time, Yan Xiaoying, who was taking care of the little girl, suddenly lost her voice and called me and Lao Fei over.
"This little girl, she's been bitten."
Yan Xiaoying rolled up the girl's sleeves and let me and Lao Fei look at it.
We took a closer look with a flashlight and were taken aback.
I saw that there was a bite mark on the girl's arm, the bite mark was very deep, and the blood that flowed out turned black, and she had been poisoned by the corpse.
The girl was in a coma and talked in her dreams, and looking at her poor and lovely face, I couldn't help but feel a heartache.
"Is there a way?" I asked Yan Xiaoying.
Yan Xiaoying shook her head: "The blood is circulating in the body, and the corpse poison has reached the heart, there is no way." ”
Although she said this, she still took out a knife to cut the wound, squeezed out the poisonous blood, and then tore the clothes on her body to bandage the little girl's wound.
I watched the girl moaning in pain, looking at her immature face, and vaguely remembered that her name was Lao Yajie, and the villagers usually called her Xiaoya.
I had been away from the village for too long, and it was only at this time that I remembered her name.
Yan Xiaoying told us that although some of the poisonous blood was released, the corpse poison did not attack so quickly, but Xiaoya's condition was not optimistic, and she needed to find a way to treat it as soon as possible.
But what can the three of us do?
"Go find Granny Yan." I said, "Xiaoya's poisoning is not deep, and her old man must have a way to cure it." ”
"No need, old woman, I'm here myself."
As soon as I finished speaking, a voice suddenly came from the depths of the woods.
The sound was so sudden that we were all taken aback.
Following the prestige, we saw a thin figure walking towards us, Old Lady Yan was short, with white hair and wearing a black dress, coupled with the terrifying wrinkles on her face, she looked like a ghost.
"This dead old woman looks like a ghost, damn it, I'm scared." Old Fat stared at Old Woman Yan and muttered quietly.
"Dead fatty, what did you just say?"
Lao Fei thought that Old Lady Yan couldn't hear him whispering, but although the latter was old, his ears were very smart, and he was glaring at Lao Fei viciously at this moment.
The old fat was so frightened that he hid behind me and didn't dare to answer.
I have personally learned the temper of Old Lady Yan, and I immediately warned Lao Fei: "Don't talk nonsense, this is Xiaoying's grandmother, who is highly respected and respected." ”
"Thank you, the old woman is not a person of high morality, but I hope that a few more people will die in your village, so that I can teach me a better coffin shop business." Old Lady Yan looked at me and sneered.
"Don't argue, grandma, come and see this little girl!" Yan Xiaoying interjected at the right time.
"The poisoning is not deep, and it can be slowly resolved."
Old Lady Yan didn't take a closer look at Xiaoya's wounds, and threw a small porcelain bottle to Yan Xiaoying and said: "This is the Bailing Pill of the Xiangxi Gu Clan, which can cure all kinds of poisons, you take one and feed it to her, and the corpse poison will be self-healing." As for the people in the village, they were so deeply poisoned that the elixir no longer worked. ”
Yan Xiaoying was overjoyed, and hurriedly poured out a pill and fed it to Xiaoya.
I was slightly relieved, and when I looked at Old Lady Yan, I found that her black clothes were stained with a lot of white ash, and there were also on her palms, and I immediately understood that the lime and sulfur outside the village were sprinkled by her old man's house.
"Thank you, mother-in-law!" I was in awe and thanked Granny Yan.
Old Lady Yan snorted coldly: "I don't pity them, it's just that my granddaughter is also responsible for this matter, otherwise the old woman won't bother to pay attention to you." ”
"Mother-in-law, those people in the village, are they really not saved?" I asked worriedly.
"Maybe there is, maybe not."
Old Lady Yan said in a deep voice: "The corpse poison can be dissolved slowly, after all, they were not directly hit by the corpse poison nail, but the snake resentful spirit attached to them is very troublesome, and they have to find a way to resolve the resentment." ”
"How?"
Old Lady Yan looked at me and suddenly said, "You also fell for the curse of the female ghost at the beginning, how did you resolve it later?" ”
I was stunned, I didn't expect her to know about it, at that time the old man did say that I was cursed by the female ghost Huixian and would not live long.
But then the female ghost killed the yellow dog who was waiting for me to die, and I took the mountain axe to destroy her, and the curse did not occur.
"You mean we're going to get rid of the viper's spirits?" I asked Mrs. Yan.
"Yes and no, the snake's resentment is attached to the bodies of those villagers, in fact, as long as you kill them all, the resentment will disappear naturally."
"There's another way."
"What's the solution?"
"There is another person here who can save them, and that is the mountain god Niangniang who lives on the Heavenly Mountain, that is, your daughter-in-law." Old Lady Yan looked at me and said leisurely.
Unexpectedly, Mrs. Yan actually knew that the mountain god Niangniang was my daughter-in-law, and when we got married that day, we didn't tell the villagers about Lin Jingmei's identity, and only a few people knew the truth, such as parents, eldest brother and sister-in-law.
"But now she ...... I'm afraid there's no way to help us. ”
I shook my head, remembering the scene where Lin Jingmei suddenly left that night and was chased by ten thousand thunderbolts.
"So it's very troublesome, what to do in this matter is completely up to you, and I can only help the old woman here."
Old Lady Yan glanced at me, suddenly sighed lightly, and muttered to herself: "Mountain guards are not so easy to be, especially the mountain guards of Heavenly Mountain, you can do it yourself." ”
After saying that, Old Woman Yan turned around and walked into the depths of the gloomy woods and disappeared.
I looked at her somewhat lonely back, and was silent for a long time, not knowing what she meant by what she said before leaving?
At this time, Xiaoya ate the Bailing Pill brought by Old Lady Yan, her face had improved, and her frowning brows gradually relaxed, but she hadn't woken up yet.
I didn't expect the lark pill she brought to be so effective, thinking that this elixir must be very valuable.
The old fat was afraid that he would also be poisoned by the corpse, so he asked Yan Xiaoying for a pill of lark to take.
Later, he found some dead branches nearby and came back to make a fire.
The three of them gathered around the fire, and for a moment no one spoke.
Yan Xiaoying lowered her head, looking at the burning flames and didn't know what she was thinking; Lao Fei looked at me with a curious expression, because just now he heard Old Lady Yan say that the mountain god Niangniang was my daughter-in-law, and his heart was full of doubts.
"I'm sorry, I caused this incident alone, and I hurt those villagers."
I don't know how long it took, Yan Xiaoying suddenly spoke softly.
In the firelight, her face was pale and bloodless, and she looked extremely weak at the moment after her serious injuries had not healed.
"It's not your fault, you're also for everyone's good, if you don't poison the snake, I'm afraid more people will die at this time." I comforted Yan Xiaoying.
The situation was even worse when the road was so loud that it broke the bridge and broke through the embankment. What's more, Yan Xiaoying's starting point is good, but no one can predict this kind of thing happening.
In fact, he can only blame Lu Ji of the Heavenly Master's Mansion, if he hadn't suddenly injured Yan Xiaoying, and then cut off the head of the snake, and did the thing of skinning and cramping, so many things would not have happened today.
It's a pity that Lu Ji disappeared after he made a move, otherwise, with my character, if I meet him, even if there is a huge disparity in strength and identity, I will have to get justice anyway.
The old man originally planned to use the snake to calculate the people of the Heavenly Master's Mansion, but he didn't expect that the mantis of the Heavenly Master's Mansion would catch the cicada and the yellow finch behind......
