Chapter 19: Unraveling Gu
There are men and women among these people, some old and some young, the older ones are almost old, and the younger ones are only five or six years old.
As soon as these people entered, the room was filled with an indescribable stench, the smell was like stinky meat, very pungent, the room was already small, coupled with this strong smell, it suddenly made it difficult for me to breathe.
I'm not the only one who feels this way, Lin Qiao'er, the doctor, and even the old patriarch of Luogang Village covered their noses with ugly faces, heh, this smell is really unbearable.
I had no choice but to ask the middle-aged man to transfer all the patients to the hall of the ancestral hall, and although the smell was still there, it was not as pungent as it was just now.
The old patriarch asked the doors in front and back of the ancestral hall to be opened, and under the air circulation, the smell finally became not so obvious.
The middle-aged man brought the things listed on the list to me, and said in a deep voice: "According to your requirements, these eggs are all native eggs found from various households, and the earth dragon has just been dug out of the dung heap, which is very fresh, and it will be up to you next." ”
With that, he stared at me with distrust on his face, as if he was ready to see my joke.
I ignored him and double-checked the things in front of me, and they were indeed all obtained according to my request.
"Well, everything is right." As I spoke, I looked at the dim environment in the ancestral hall, frowned, and asked him, "Is there a lamp in here?" Turn on the lights, and if you don't have them, go find a few flashlights. ”
As soon as I finished speaking, without waiting for the middle-aged man to answer, the old patriarch hurriedly said: "Yes, there is a lamp, Ah Hua, do what this little master says, go quickly!" ”
As soon as I heard the old patriarch call me from the beginning of the baby boy to the current little master, my heart said, now my status is a higher level, but I didn't care too much, and called the doctor to come and help.
When the middle-aged man named Ah Hua turned on the light in the ancestral hall, I first came to a little boy who was only about six or seven years old, he was whining and crying, with a painful look on his face, crying and calling his mother at the same time, which was heart-wrenching.
Seeing that I walked in front of him, a middle-aged woman next to the little boy hurriedly grabbed my hand and said with a pleading face: "Master, master, you must save my baby, he is so young, he is so small......"
As she spoke, she actually cried, I hurriedly comforted her, saying that I would do my best, so that she should not worry, at this time, the middle-aged man named Ah Hua also stepped forward, said a few words to the woman, and persuaded her away.
Originally, I planned to explain the Gu to the Taoist priest first, so as to avoid some accidents, after all, the Taoist priest is not an ordinary person, but before that, I need to determine whether any of these villagers are the same chrysalis Gu as the Taoist priest.
Doctors are professional in checking this kind of thing, after all, I don't know how to take the pulse, I don't know how to look at the complexion, I just need to look at the skin of these people.
Soon, the doctor finished taking the little boy's pulse, and then lifted his sleeve with a frown, and almost at the same time, several onlookers on the side all gasped, and I felt a numb scalp and goosebumps all over my body.
I saw that the little boy's arm, from the wrist upwards, was densely packed with bruises the size of a pencil head, and there was only a thin layer of human skin wrapped on the spots, spreading like a beehive, almost the entire arm was full, and a few spots also flowed yellow pus, and the pungent smell of rotting flesh we smelled before was emitted by this pus.
The visual impact of this scene is too strong, if someone with a phobia of density sees it, I am afraid that he will be scared to death on the spot, although I do not have a phobia of intensity, but the picture in front of me still makes me feel creepy, Lin Qiaoer was directly frightened and withdrew a few steps, covering her eyes and not daring to look again.
I held back the fear in my heart and didn't retreat, and said, "That's right, this is a chrysalis Gu!" Under the skin are not spots, but the adult worms of the pupa. ”
As soon as I said this, the sound of gasping cold air around me became louder, and Lin Qiaoer covered her mouth and asked in disbelief: "Oh my God, is this spot a worm?" That's cruel, isn't it? ”
The doctor had a gloomy face, did not speak, and continued to untie the clothes on the little boy's belly, this time the picture was not only frightening to us, but terrifying, only to see that the little boy's chest and abdomen were also densely covered with spots, and his entire body had basically been hollowed out.
I didn't delay any longer, got up and walked into the room where the Taoist priest was placed, the hairy Taoist priest didn't know the situation outside, and wailed: "Reporter, you can't succeed, hurry up, what's the way to hurry up, the Taoist can't suppress those insects!" ”
I ignored the Taoist priest, beckoned the doctor to fetch eggs and earthworms, mixed the earthworms with other things and pounded them into mucus, and evenly smeared them on the surface of the eggs.
After doing all this, I looked at the Taoist priest and then at the people present, and said, "Let's all go out, all you need here is me and the doctor!" ”
Hearing this, those people were immediately unhappy, they all wanted to see how I solved the Gu, especially Lin Qiao'er, like a curious baby, she looked at me vigorously. I was helpless in my heart, so I could only pretend that I didn't see it, and coughed dryly: "Ahem, I need to remove all the patient's clothes later, so many of you are watching from the side, it's really a little inappropriate." ”
Hearing me say this, these people were embarrassed to stay any longer, Lin Qiao'er blushed, stuck out her tongue at me, and was the first to retreat. There were still people who wanted to stay on it, but the Taoist priest immediately scolded: "He's a fucking Xipi, what are you bastards doing?" Do you want to see the spring of your Taoist master? Damn, if you don't go to the Dao, you will have to charge a sightseeing fee, 100,000 yuan per person. ”
As soon as they heard that they would have to collect money for staying, the villagers immediately sighed and retreated, and the doctor and I looked at each other and smiled bitterly, and immediately began to undress the Taoist priest.
I held the egg in one hand, pressed it on the Taoist priest's arm with the other, felt the hard lumps under the skin, and then rolled the egg coated with earthworm mucus on his arm three times, and then changed to another egg, and so on, the Taoist priest's whole body was rolled around by the egg, and a layer of fishy mucus was stuck all over his body, and he looked extremely disgusting.
The doctor took a few steps back in disgust, and the Taoist priest hummed comfortably, and it wasn't until I stopped his movements that he came back to his senses from that state of enjoyment, and suddenly a look of shock and joy appeared on his face.
"Damn, it's gone, it's really gone, those bugs are really gone!" He shouted happily as he stretched his body, the pallor on his face had completely receded, and he had completely returned to his previous state.
I sighed and said to him, "You better put on your clothes quickly, by the way, don't ask for the previous clothes, I'll ask the patriarch for you a set later, don't come out for the time being." ”
The Taoist priest found that he was slipping naked on the bed, his old face was red, but he didn't shy away from it, saying what is this, everyone has experienced life and death together, and there will be no lack of meat when you look at it. I said yes, then you can go ahead!
Saying that, I opened the door, and suddenly staggered in from outside the door, obviously eavesdropping outside the door, and Lin Qiao'er was in the ranks.
In the next moment, Lin Qiao'er's high-pitched exclamation sounded in the entire ancestral hall......
Lin Qiao'er rushed out of the door, and the Taoist priest scolded and scolded, pulled the sheet and wrapped his body, his face was dark, scolding me for not being a thing, trying to trap him, I said to him, don't you deserve it, I would have asked you to hide in the quilt a long time ago, don't come out first, you didn't listen.
I didn't bother to pay attention to him, took the seven or eight used eggs in a plastic bag, and left the room. The old patriarch hurriedly followed me and asked anxiously how the situation was?
When I told him that he had succeeded and that he could now treat the villagers, the old patriarch was overjoyed and hurriedly ordered someone to arrange it. I first asked the old patriarch to help the Taoist priest get some water to clean, and then get him clothes, and then asked the doctor to solve the Gu for the others according to what I just did, as for the women in the villagers, I called Lin Qiao'er and told her the specific method and asked her to help.
In this way, the three of us worked together, and after about two or three hours, all the chrysalis on the middle Gu villagers were removed.
The middle-aged man named Ah Hua came to me suspiciously and asked, Is this the solution? I nodded yes, I had already solved everything, and he suddenly showed suspicion, saying that I was not fooling him, right?
I smiled, didn't explain much, pointed to the eggs that were gathered together on the ground and said, "You open those eggs and take a look, by the way, be careful, don't let your hands touch them, otherwise you will also be hit by Gu." ”
Hearing me say this, he walked to the eggs piled up in the corner of the ancestral hall in disbelief, in fact, he was not the only one who doubted, the other people who were suspicious all came over, and one person was very enthusiastic to hand Ah Hua a plastic bag and let him put it in his hand.
A middle-aged man named Ah Hua carefully cracked an egg, peeled off the shell, and was shocked to find that the egg liquid in the egg had all solidified and turned into a gel like jelly, soft and collapsed, very similar to preserved eggs. The egg yolk in the center has all turned black, and if you look closely, it is not the egg yolk, but countless insects as thin as a hair, and the egg yolk has been completely emptied.
Everyone gasped in unison, and although I knew what would happen inside the eggshell, I was still scared to the point that my scalp was tingling when I saw it with my own eyes, and of course, I still had to pretend to be calm on my face.
At the same time, the Taoist priest cleaned his body and put on the clothes sent by the old patriarch, and the whole person's spirit was completely refreshed, compared with just now, it was completely like two people, which showed the terrible chrysalis of this chrysalis.
The old patriarch asked me what I was going to do now, I thought about it, and said to him that the earthworm mucus on the villagers' bodies should not be removed first, their situation is different from that of the Taoist, the Taoist priest is a cultivator, although the time of the Gu is earlier than the villagers, but he used his cultivation to seal the movements of the Gu worms in his body, so the Gu worms' infringement on him is not very serious, and the villagers' bodies have basically been hollowed out, and those mucus can help them recover.
The old patriarch said yes again and again, his attitude towards me has completely changed, and even the middle-aged man named Ah Hua has become respectful to me, and asks me when will I be able to wash off those things?
I thought for a moment and said to him, "Wait until evening!" Now let them stay in the ancestral hall first, by the way, the clothes they wore before, the mattresses they slept on must all be burned, and these eggs must all be burned, otherwise this kind of Gu worm will still appear. ”
Ah Hua nodded hurriedly, and then beckoned the other villagers to do it. For a while, the ancestral hall was in full swing, and the three of us were tired enough, and we were just about to go back to Lao Luo's house to rest, but at this moment, the people who had been sent out by the old patriarch to catch the lame horse rushed back.
Those people first whispered to the old patriarch, and I found that the old patriarch's face suddenly became ugly, and my heart couldn't help but sink, knowing that something might have changed.
Sure enough, after the men had finished speaking, the old patriarch walked up to us with a gloomy face and said to me, "Master, there is really something wrong with the lame horse, and when our people arrived at his house, he had already run away, and only found this in his house. ”
As he spoke, the old patriarch handed over something wrapped in brown paper, I took it and opened it, and found that it was a gray-brown powder.
I was taken aback, and hurriedly wrapped the paper again, and asked if anyone had touched it, and the villagers who went to arrest them shook their heads, and I was relieved that they should pour gasoline on this thing and burn it, and that nothing should be missed.
"It seems that this lame horse is the real black hand, those insect eggs should be pupal Gu, he first dumped the insect eggs in the mountain stream, let the villagers take water Gu, and then blame everything to the Taoist priest."
Now the truth was revealed, and the anger of the villagers all turned to the lame horse, and the old patriarch scolded angrily with a gloomy face: "Ma Decai of this dog day, since he came to Luogang upside down, the people in the village have taken care of him a lot, and completely regarded him as their own relatives, a few years ago, his mother-in-law died of illness, or the villagers pooled money to do the funeral for him, but I didn't expect that the conscience of this mongrel was all eaten by dogs, and he did such a thing that lost his conscience, and almost made me and others mistakenly hurt a good person." ”
After speaking, the old patriarch bowed to the Taoist priest with a ashamed face to apologize, but the Taoist priest didn't buy it at all, pointed to the nose of the villager on the side and scolded: "Immeasurable your grandmother Tianzun, you bastards, don't think that if you say a few good words, Dao Ye can expose this matter, by the way, what is the origin of that lame horse, Dao Ye has to split him alive." ”
