Chapter Twenty-Five: Loy's Background
Literally, don't eat indiscriminately, it may be that we don't eat indiscriminately on the street, maybe it's unhygienic, and eating it will cause diarrhea or something. However, it is generally given advice, and the content of the advice is equal or incremental, such as the old man's first warning, making a disturbance or leaving the residence after the hour, the consequence is likely to be to encounter zombies, and then the life is not guaranteed.
This is a big matter of life, the first piece of advice given by the old man is life-threatening, it can't be that the second piece of advice is just to make you pay attention to such an inconsequential little thing as not having diarrhea, right? Then this second warning is certainly not as simple as telling us not to eat the things on the roadside, there must be other deeper meanings in it, maybe eating indiscriminately, something more terrifying may happen than encountering zombies.
I felt my head grow for a while, and my heart said that this dead old man, since he has already given advice, can't you fucking explain it? We have to rack our brains here to guess the meaning, isn't this the diaphragm?
I made up my mind that I would have to ask the old man again to-morrow, though he might not tell us.
For the next two hours, we were bored and could only chat, and the content of the conversation ranged from speculation about the secrets of the town to our respective lives, the world, the north and the south, and even the ideals of life, which showed how boring it was.
Luo Yi and I told a lot about her, although we have known each other on the Internet for more than three years, but the topics we usually chat about are more about those strange things and all kinds of ghostly local legends, so I don't know much about her, I only know that she, like me, also comes from the beautiful and mysterious south of Caiyun. And after this long conversation, I finally got some understanding of her details.
Luo Yi is a Miao ethnic group, and the place where he lives is located in the mountains of the southwest border, which is a typical Miao village, and rarely communicates with the outside world. Unlike me, although I grew up in my hometown deep in the mountains when I was a child, Dingyan Village is a village where Miao and Han live together, and it is not self-contained, and like the surrounding villages, there is frequent communication with the outside world. In addition, my father had studied and was very knowledgeable, so although I stayed in the village before I was twelve years old, in fact, my father had taught me everything I needed to learn in primary school, and later moved to the county, and my father threw me into a good middle school by relying on his connections, and since then my life trajectory has been separated from the desolate and remote place in Dingyan Village.
But Luo Yi is different, she doesn't have my good luck, she has been in Miao Village until she was ten years old, she can't touch the outside world, and she doesn't go to school. This life lasted until he was ten years old, when Luo Yi was picking wild fruits on the vines of trees deep in the mountains and rivers, and was accidentally bitten by a poisonous snake lying in the trees, fell into the river stream, and was washed out of the mountains.
Fortunately, the poisoned and unconscious Luo Yi did not die, and a fisherman who was fishing on the bank of the river outside the mountains rescued her. However, at that time, Luo Yi had a snake venom attack in his body, and his life was hanging by a thread, and a couple who were traveling to the local area saw this and immediately sent Luo Yi to the hospital for treatment. Because of the autism of Miao Village, Luo Yi couldn't find a way back to Miao Village after waking up, and suddenly had no support, and the fisherman family who saved her was not in good economic conditions and could not afford to adopt Luo Yi.
However, it just so happened that the kind couple who sent Luo Yi to the hospital were middle-aged but had no children under their knees, and Luo Yi was born cute, and both of them liked it very much, and once they discussed, the two adopted Luo Yi.
This couple is indeed a good person, they have always been very good to Luo Yi and treat him as their own, Luo Yi is also very filial to the second elder, and the family is also harmonious. However, Luo Yi has a knot in his heart about the things of the year, and his feelings for Miao Village have never been able to give up, and when he became an adult, Luo Yi's adoptive parents hired a fleet to accompany Luo Yi to search for the river where she was found, but he didn't think that the higher he went, the more tributaries appeared, and in the end, there were almost hundreds of large and small river vein tributaries, and there was no way to find them.
Because of this, Luo Yi felt very lost, but the second elder told Luo Yi a secret related to her life experience at this time. According to the second elder, when they sent Luo Yi to the hospital, the little girl was almost dying, and the doctor found that the bite of Luo Yi was the silver krait snake known as the fourth poison on land, and the toxin would spread to the whole body within a few minutes after being bitten, and because its toxin was a neurotoxin, it could not feel pain, and the toxicity was violent, and it could kill people within a few hours.
And when Luo Yi was admitted to the hospital, it had been nearly a day since she was bitten. It stands to reason that Luo Yi should have died of poisoning, but she only showed strong symptoms of poisoning, but even so, the doctor was helpless. However, what is surprising is that only one night, Luo Yi miraculously recovered, all the toxins in the body dissipated, the doctors all said that this was a medical miracle, only an old doctor of the Miao nationality saw the clue, and quietly told the two that the little girl was not simple, there was a very powerful Gu in her body, it was that kind of Gu that devoured the venom and hugged the little girl's life.
At that time, the couple didn't believe it, but with some strange things that happened to Luo Yi later, the two began to believe the old doctor's words. The couple was originally a jewelry merchant in Yunnan, Myanmar, because of the business, they inevitably had a feud with others, and Southeast Asia was flooded, in the process of purchasing rough stones in Myanmar, the couple's business enemies invited the head to descend to Luo Yi, who was with the two of them at that time.
In fact, many of the head drops in Southeast Asia are actually an evolution of the witchcraft that has been passed down in Yunnan, and its essence has not changed, and the head descender never dreamed that Luo Yi was planted with a mysterious Gu worm since he was a child, and the evil descendant he released was devoured by the strange Gu in Luo Yi's body, and the head descender himself was also seriously counterattacked. The head descending master knew that he had caused a big disaster, and he was worried that the person who planted Gu for Luo Yi would settle accounts with him, so he killed his employer, took the head to explain the whole story, and begged the couple for forgiveness.
Walking around Southeast Asia all the year round, the couple naturally heard some related news, but when the head of the enemy family was brought to the front by the head lowering master, the two were still startled, but they did not doubt the words of the head descending master, so they pretended to be calm and sent the head descending master, but afterwards they were greatly surprised by this adopted mysterious daughter. However, the little girl was still young, so the two did not tell her about it, and it was not until Luo Yi failed to find his hometown that the two told her about it.
At first, Luo Yi didn't dare to believe it, but this incident left a shadow in her heart, she began to search around for information related to witchcraft Gu Dao, the original purpose was just to see if she could find information related to Miao Village, but in the end, she became more and more convinced of the existence of witch Gu, and if she really had Gu worms on her body, as long as she could find the master in this Dao, maybe she would be able to identify the origin according to the Gu worms, and then find the Miao Village back then.
So Luo Yi searched around more frantically for this kind of information, whether it was a rural legend or a personal experience, but anything related to these strange legends, she would pursue and investigate. Slowly, Roy discovered the forum and became a regular visitor to the forum, and then met me, and it happened that I had experienced the supernatural incident that happened at the school, so I met her.
I looked at Luo Yi in surprise, I had never heard her say this before, I didn't expect her experience to be so tortuous and complicated, although it was not as thrilling and terrifying as the things I experienced, but her life experience was really tortuous and bizarre. When I heard that she had been looking for Miao Village all these years, sympathy rose in my heart, and I suddenly thought of my grandmother, and said in my heart, Didn't Luo Yi want to find a witch Gu master? Isn't my grandma a master of this way, and when my grandma was young, she and her grandfather traveled all over the hidden Miao villages in Miaojiang, and maybe they also went to Luoyi's village.
I'm going to take Roy to see my grandmother when I go back this time and see if I can help, but until then, it's better not to mention her about her affairs.
The doctor was very interested in what Luo Yi said, especially the Gu worms, in fact, for Gu, the doctor was convinced before me, because the witch medicine book I lent him not only described many unheard of Chinese herbs, but also had many introductions to insects, and there were also some records of the Gu worms that could be refined by corresponding insects. Of course, the alchemy method must be combined with witchcraft to be effective, the doctor has been pestering me to teach him witchcraft after reading the pharmacopoeia again, and I don't know these things, so I casually found a reason to fool the past, and now Luo Yi mentioned it again, and there is a mysterious Gu worm in her body, the doctor suddenly became interested, and even looked at Luo Yi's eyes became hot.
Looking at the doctor's appearance, I said to myself, oh no, this guy has made an old mistake, this is treating Luo Yi as a herb. Damn, what is this, so I hurriedly patted the doctor, leaned under his ear and muttered, let him not worry, if he is really interested in witch Gu, when I go back, I will introduce a friend who understands these things to him, the friend I say naturally refers to the Taoist priest, this guy will have a messy and messy thing, he learned some simple Gu practice methods from Sister Bailing when he went back to his hometown with me before, and it should not be a problem to fool the doctor if he wants to fool him.
Hearing me say this, the doctor gave up, but there was still something wrong with Luo Yi's eyes, which seemed to be the eyes of a mad scientist looking at the mutated mice in the cage.
Luo Yi finished talking about her life experience, and asked me in turn, I have already told her a lot of what I can say when I was online, as for what I can't say, it's impossible to say nothing just because we met, right? So I'm still the same old-fashioned, just say what I should say, and make up what I shouldn't say, anyway, I fooled her.
