I never imagined that the person who came to me was actually Yan Xiaoying.

Her face was pale and sickly, and she no longer had the heroic spirit she had before, and she only had a weak side.

It seems that she was badly injured that day and has not recovered yet.

I don't understand why she's having to travel all the way up the mountain to find me when she's in such bad health.

So, the first time I saw her, I realized something was wrong, and it had to be something big.

"Ouch, this guy is really chic, is it the legendary little white face?" When Lao Fei saw Yan Xiaoying for the first time, he was very surprised.

Yan Xiaoying glared at the old fat man and said coldly: "Dead fat man, who are you?" ”

It was originally a very strong question, but because of weakness, it seemed extremely weak when it was spoken, and there was no momentum at all.

"Female?"

As soon as Yan Xiaoying spoke, Lao Fei was even more surprised, staring at the former carefully, and a pair of eyes stopped on his chest for a few seconds before he came back to his senses.

"That...... I'm sorry, I thought you were a man, just kidding, just kidding, don't mind, haha......"

I introduced Lao Fei's identity to Yan Xiaoying, and asked her if something happened to the mountain?

"Hmm."

Lao Fei will be courteous, and seeing that Yan Xiaoying's face is very bad, he poured a glass of mountain spring water for the latter.

Yan Xiaoying glared at him fiercely, didn't take it, looked at me and said the matter intermittently.

She first escaped from the reservoir from the snake, and she chased away.

She explained that the reason why she chased the snake was because she was worried that the snake would enter the river and cause trouble and endanger the lives of villagers on both sides of the river.

At that time, she was carrying a corpse poison nail that Old Lady Yan regarded as a forbidden object. It was made of thousand-year-old Extreme Yin Willow Cold Wood, and it was soaked in corpse poison. The poison is very domineering, if ordinary people are hit by the corpse poison nail, it will directly turn into thick water, it can not only punish the enemy, but also destroy the yin spirit and kill the demon and evil.

Because this nail is so vicious, Old Lady Yan has never used it. That day, Yan Xiaoying heard me about the snake in the mountain reservoir, so she stole three corpse poison nails and wanted to use them to poison the snake.

She chased the snake all the way down the mountain stream, because the snake was seriously injured, and finally caught up in the reeds at the foot of the mountain, and used a special technique to punch the corpse nail into the snake's wound torn by a sharp spear.

Originally, a flash flood broke out at that time, and the snake was hit by a corpse poison nail, and died in the flood and was swept away by the flood, and everything went well.

But when Yan Xiaoying drove the corpse poison nail into the wound of the snake, she was seen by a person.

It was a young Taoist priest, with a mage sword dipped in his waist, and he was awe-inspiring.

When the young Taoist priest saw Yan Xiaoying using a corpse poison nail to kill the snake, he was furious and scolded her for being an evil demon and a foreign way, and her methods were insidious, which was not tolerated by the righteous path in the world.

Then the young Taoist priest drew out the sword of the mage, claimed to kill the demon Dao, and knocked her into the river with a sword and a palm.

What happened later was already obvious, the young Taoist priest cut off the head of the snake and went back to ask for merit, and at the same time did not let go of the treasure on the snake.

I heard Yan Xiaoying talk about the appearance of the young Taoist priest, and I already confirmed in my heart that the Taoist priest she met was the little Heavenly Master Lu Ji of the Heavenly Master's Mansion.

"What a sanctimonious bull's nose, people kill the snake to eliminate harm for the people, but they frame good people for evil spirits, and use excuses to make a move. In fact, it's just sitting back and enjoying it, coveting the snake's treasure. If he was really so upright, he shouldn't have cut off the snake's head. Lao Fei interjected next to him and scolded.

I didn't expect Lu Ji to be this kind of person, even if the corpse poison nail is a murderous thing, Yan Xiaoying used it for a reason, why do you have to ask clearly before making a move, right?

When I saw him in the green bamboo forest, he was as rich as jade and had a beautiful temperament, and he was secretly ashamed. It is difficult to draw the skin of the tiger and the bones, and the mouth of the person does not know the heart.

I knew that Yan Xiaoying still had something to say, otherwise she wouldn't have come up the mountain during the injury and asked her, "What happened later?" ”

"You know what happened later, it was you who rescued me from the river. But...... The bad thing was that the corpse was stuck in the river and was not immediately washed away by the flood. Later, it was discovered by the lame old seven at the foot of the mountain...... After that, he cut the snake meat and went back to eat it, and then something happened. ”

"What, he ate snake meat?"

I was shocked and asked, "Is there something wrong with him?" ”

"Something's wrong."

Yan Xiaoying nodded: "Originally, the snake meat was a great supplement, but when it died, it was hit by my corpse poison nail, although it did not die immediately, but the situation is not optimistic." ”

The lame old seven started to have a seizure this morning, and the symptoms were extremely weird, his whole body was crawling with corpse spots, like snake scales, crazy and crazy, and he bit people when he saw them.

The most terrible thing is that those who were bitten by him were also poisoned by corpses.

They have now been brought under control, and some of them have been sent to the town's hospital for examination, but the exact root cause of the disease has not been identified.

For a while, the news of the outbreak of the plague spread at the foot of the mountain, and a medical team had been set up to investigate thoroughly.

"The corpse poison nail belongs to your grandmother, can't she do anything about it?" I didn't expect the matter to be so serious, and asked Yan Xiaoying with a frown.

"There is no antidote to that kind of corpse poison, plus the snake was deeply resentful when it was dying, and the corpse poison contained the snake's curse, and Grandma was powerless."

I looked at Yan Xiaoying for a while and didn't know what to say, originally her intentions were good, use the corpse poison nail to get rid of the snake, the corpse of the snake will be washed away by the flood, and the corpse poison will disappear with it.

But what I never expected was that the lame old seven actually ate snake meat.

Lao Fei was stunned when he heard it next to him, and said in a daze: "Is this really the case?" ”

Yan Xiaoying naturally wouldn't tell lies, she had no reason to lie to us, I remembered that the lame seventh lived in the village where my parents were, so I was so anxious that I dialed the phone.

It took me a long time before the phone was connected, and when I heard my mother's voice, I breathed a sigh of relief and asked where they were now.

They said that they were in town, and this morning they received a call from my brother and learned that my sister-in-law was pregnant, and the second elder went to visit with the laying hens that had been raised at home for several years. At noon, I heard the wind that something had happened in the village, and they called me at that time, but my phone could not be reached, and I was patrolling the mountains with Lao Fei at that time, probably because the signal was too poor.

I let out a sigh of relief, secretly glad that my sister-in-law was pregnant, and this future nephew was a lucky star in the family. At that moment, he persuaded the two elders to stay with their brother and sister-in-law for a while, and then come back after the matter passed.

Naturally, my parents had no opinion, but they were more worried about my safety and persuaded me to go to live with my brother and sister-in-law.

I reassured them that it was safe for them to live in the mountains, and the old seven at the foot of the slope would never come up to bite me, would they?

After hanging up the phone, I asked Yan Xiaoying, is there any way to cure those who have been poisoned by corpses?

Yan Xiaoying shook her head and said, "The chance is slim, Grandma is already looking for an antidote, but whether it has any effect or not, you have to try it to know." ”

If this happens, I can't stay in the mountains any longer.

After all, it was his own village that caused the accident, and the people who were poisoned were all his neighbors and relatives.

Especially the lame old seven, he has a deep personal relationship with his old man, when my grandfather and I arranged the wedding room to marry Jingmei, candles and red paper and other things were purchased with his help.

After thinking about it for a while, I decided to go down the mountain with Yan Xiaoying to have a look, if I could find a solution, it would be the best, if I couldn't do anything, I could feel at ease at a glance.

Thinking of this, I asked Lao Fei to stay on the mountain, and I went down the mountain with Yan Xiaoying.

But the old fat refused to stay alone on the mountain, and insisted on going down the mountain with us to see the excitement, and I saw that he did not listen to the persuasion, so I had to give up in the end.

The three of them hurried down the mountain, Yan Xiaoying did not walk fast because of her injuries, and by the time we rushed back to the village, it was already completely dark.

The three of them stood in front of the entrance of the village, staring inside, only to see that the village was pitch black, and there was no light at all.

It stands to reason that it is now past eight o'clock in the evening, which is the time when the villagers rest and the family gathers in front of the TV to chat in the evening.

But at this moment, at this point in time, the village was quiet, and there was no sound at all.

The whole village was shrouded in darkness, silent, and the sound of falling pins could be heard.

The eerie atmosphere makes people feel creepy.

"Lao Yan, what's weird about your village? What about the people inside? Aren't they all dead? The old fat shook the fat on his body and said in surprise.

"Don't talk nonsense, I was fine when I went up the mountain yesterday, how can I all die in a day? It is estimated that the lame old seven caused panic, and the villagers all ran away. I glared at the old fat fiercely, and I didn't have a good breath.

"Xiao Ying, where are the villagers you said were infected with corpse poison?"

"I used to be locked up in the cattle pen at the end of the village, but now I don't know if they are still there." Yan Xiaoying said worriedly.

"Let's go, let's take a look."

In fact, as I guessed, almost everyone in the village ran away. When I entered the village, I found that it was a mess, debris everywhere, and there was no one in the house at all.

The village has become like this, I can't help but feel sour when I see it, and I take Xiaoying and Lao Fei to the cowpen at the end of the village.

Because it was pitch black, I went home and got a flashlight to illuminate it.

Ploughing the fields and raising cattle is the basic life of rural people, although now the material is abundant, most families have bought iron cattle, but the place where the buffalo was kept in the past is still there, but it is empty.

It was a mud hut with a thatched hut, and almost all the villagers' cattle were kept here, and I used to herd them for several years when I was a child, so I know it very well.

In front of a huge cowshed, Xiao Ying said that the people who had been poisoned were kept here.

But now, the wooden bolt railing of the barn gate is broken, and I look inside with a flashlight. There was a lot of dry wood and dead grass in it. After no cattle were raised, it became a firewood house.

At this time, there was nothing but dry firewood and withered grass, and a broken nylon rope in one place.

We walked in and found blood on the ropes, and a disgusting smell wafting through the air in addition to the stench.

"It looks like those who have been poisoned by the corpses have run away."

I was shocked in my heart, the nylon rope can even be tied to a cow, and it was broken like this, how much strength did those who were poisoned by the corpse have to have?

What I'm most worried about is that if it is really as Yan Xiaoying said, the corpse poison can be spread, and these people run away, I am afraid that the people in several nearby villages will suffer.

"No, these people can't leave here, we must find them back, otherwise the corpse poison will spread, and the consequences will be unpredictable."

Yan Xiaoying was very anxious, after all, she was the one who secretly brought out the corpse poison nail of Old Lady Yan, and now those people were poisoned by corpses, and she couldn't escape the blame.

With that, she turned and followed the footprints left on the ground......
