Chapter 7: The Straw Man Lives!
The thought that there might be a zombie behind me almost scared me to death.
I hurriedly turned my head to look behind me, and saw Li Fugui said with an anxious face: "Fang Yu, my wife suddenly fainted for some reason, and she was foaming at the mouth, you go back and take a look." ”
When I heard this, I was in no mood to complain about Li Fugui's actions just now, after all, human life was still important, so I hurriedly followed him to rush home.
As soon as we arrived at the door of Li Fugui's house, we heard a heart-rending roar.
I turned my head to look at Li Fugui, didn't he say that his wife fainted?
Why is it like going through some kind of painful torture now?
Li Fugui also looked at me anxiously, and his eyes seemed to say, I don't know, you should hurry up and save people.
I ignored him and ran quickly into the room, and as soon as I entered the bedroom, I saw a shocking scene.
On the ground, there were many things scattered around, including broken glass shards, and clothes and quilts that had been torn into strips, and the cotton wool in them flew all over the house.
But this was not shocking, in the broken quilt, wrapped in a dry body, its shape was too thin, the ribs were clearly visible, and it was already a skinny body.
And, on the skinny body, black blood is constantly bubbling out, the walls and the ground are full of black blood, and the thin body has traces of scratching by fingernails everywhere, which is very strange and infiltrating.
I was so frightened by this scene that I was stunned for a while, and then the second egg who came in behind me was also too frightened to gasp loudly.
Seeing this, Li Fugui hurriedly took a few steps forward and hugged his wife, his eyes were full of tears, and his voice was choked.
I secretly cursed in my heart, this woman's current situation is really weird, Li Fugui stepped forward so rashly, I am afraid that his life will be in danger.
But before I could make a move, I saw that Li Fugui's chest was grabbed by his wife's dry hands like chicken feet, his clothes were directly torn, and there were a few more visible scratches on his chest.
It is also very strange to say, Li Fugui, the wound that his wife had scratched, actually stabbed and emitted a puff of white smoke, but there was no blood flowing out of it, but the wound quickly became like dead tree bark, and it had become dried meat.
Seeing that the woman was about to grab Li Fugui's head, I hurriedly ran over and dragged him out, but his wife's strength was too great, just like the old ox plowing the ground, no matter how I dragged it, I couldn't move the slightest.
I anxiously shouted that the stupid second egg on the side came to help, and under the pull of the two of us, Li Fugui was pulled out of the room from his wife's hands, and as soon as the person came out, I immediately locked the door tightly.
Suddenly, the room was filled with the creepy screams and the stabbing of fingernails scratching the wooden door.
Erdan and I sat on the ground panting with palpitations, Li Fugui looked at me with a desperate face, and asked in a trembling voice, "What's wrong with my wife?" I beg you to heal her, I beg you. ”
I stared at Li Fugui, and that day in the village, I asked him if there were any people in Gejia Village who had the same disease as him, and he was vague, only saying that his wife might suffer from this disease.
Now, I can't be sure if there are any dead insects on other people in Gejia Village, but I can be sure that Li Fugui and his wife have not.
Although it is not a dead worm, there is another kind of worm in her body!
"Did you just let your wife touch the water?" I asked in a deep voice.
Li Fugui was stared at by my direct eyes, trembling with fright, and quickly nodded.
"Yesterday I felt that something was wrong with her, she didn't eat, she didn't do anything, she was in the house all day, and she wrapped herself tightly in the quilt, as if she was afraid of being seen.
When I saw her like this, I was going to take her to the hospital to see her, but she wouldn't leave the bed for half a step, so I dragged her off the quilt, but how could I have thought that she had become like that, and for a moment I was so frightened that I knocked over the cup on the side, and the glass of water splashed on her.
As soon as she touched the water, she began to smoke and smoke, and then she scratched herself like crazy, and her whole body was scarred, and I didn't see that something was wrong, so I hurried to find you. ”
After listening to what Li Fugui said, I suddenly felt as if the strength of my whole body had been drained.
What is this TM, the matter of dead insects has not been solved yet, and this is in other troubles.
Li Fugui saw that my face was not very good, so he hurriedly knelt down and hit his head on the ground, and said with a crying voice: "Please, please save my wife, I can't live without my wife." ”
I dragged Li Fugui up from the ground, told him not to worry, looked at the room where his wife was closed, I asked no one to open the door, and then walked back to his room with a heavy heart.
After the contact just now, I can determine what the insect on Li Fugui's wife is, this kind of insect is called 'Lu', which lives in an arid environment all year round, and will die when it encounters water for a long time.
Now it is the rainy season in Yunnan Province, and it stands to reason that the fish will not come out at all in this season, and they should honestly stay in dry places, such as bottomless caves, or some artificially dug bottom holes, and will only come out in the dry season next year.
How could he run to Li Fugui and his wife inexplicably?
But that's not where I care, I'm worried about whether I can drive Lu out of this woman's body now that I'm sick.
Erdan came to my room and asked worriedly, "Do you have a way to cure Li Fugui and his wife?" ”
I glanced at Erdan and sighed, even if I have a problem with my body now, I can't watch that woman being tortured to death.
Moreover, as I learned about Gejia Village, the questions in my mind became more and more.
The zombie who ate raw pork in Erdan's mouth just now is really something.
There is no one in Gejia Village in the daytime, but when the time comes, there is no one cooking on the fire, all of which make me have to pay more attention.
What did my grandfather ask me to come to Gejia Village for, and what was waiting for me here?
I can't wait to know the answers to these questions, but at the moment, I don't have any clue, I can only take one step at a time.
"Let Li Fugui prepare an empty room, it's best not to put anything else in it, and ask him if there is any pine firewood at home, if not, other firewood is also available, but you need to prepare a little more, and you go to find some dry grass, and then bake it on the stove, and then tie it into a straw man of about one meter."
I told Erdan everything I needed and asked him to go down and prepare.
After the second egg left, I found the things I would need from my cloth bag and left the house.
Half an hour later, Li Fugui vacated a room at home, I went to take a look, the musty smell was very strong, it should have been used to store sundries, but fortunately, there is a lot of space inside, and the surrounding area is very well sealed, which I am still quite satisfied with.
Li Fu's family happened to have firewood from the pine tree, so I asked Erdan and the two of them to bring in the firewood, and then prepared a big iron pot.
He put the wood on the iron pot, lit a fire, and sprinkled some green pine leaves on it, and a thick cloud of smoke rose from the house.
I told them to come out quickly, and then locked the door of the room.
From the beginning to the end, the second egg never asked me what I was doing, and I knew that if this guy didn't figure it out, his heart would be as uncomfortable as a hedgehog scratching, so he said:
"I'm only doing this to get rid of the damp and mildew in the house, and you won't know what this room is going to be used for, but until then, you should go and tie up the straw man."
There was enough firewood in this house to burn for an hour or two, and the second egg was not idle at this time, so he went to find some grass and began to plant the straw man according to my instructions.
Two hours later, Erdan's straw man had been set up, and the firewood in the house had already been burned, so I asked Erdan and the two of them to go inside and sprinkle ash powder on all corners of the house.
After the things in the room were arranged, I asked Li Fugui to find a chair and a rope, which would be useful later.
By the time we had done that, it was late at night.
I stood in front of the door of Li Fugui's room, my heart beating hard.
Now that my body is damaged, I can't use the insect control technique, just like ordinary people, and I don't know if I can lower this woman whose consciousness has been controlled by the Lun.
I also thought about letting this guy Xiaobai come out to deal with Lu, but I didn't know that, after coming to this Yunnan Province, Xiaobai actually cut off contact with me, and I don't know where he disappeared, which is really weird.
Of course, if you want to let the two of them in, I won't be at ease.
"You'll lock the door as soon as I get in, and if you don't let me open the door, you won't be ready to open the door, remember?" I said in a deep voice.
Erdan wanted to speak, but he was forced back by my eyes, so he had to nod slightly.
I clenched the worm in my hand, calmed down a little, and pulled the door and rushed in.
As soon as I entered, I felt a pungent and smelly smell of filth in the room, and I didn't know if I was dazzled or something, but I saw a thick layer of blood-colored fog wafting in the center of the room.
Before I could find the woman in a hurry, I felt a fierce wind on my left side coming towards my face.
I wasn't in a hurry to dodge, so I had to use the worm to resemble the left gear.
Suddenly grabbed by gravity, my whole body flew backwards upside down, and the worm mace also came out of my hand.
In front of my eyes, a skinny monster appeared, yes, her appearance at this moment, I can hardly imagine her with a woman, more eerie and terrifying than a few hours ago.
I saw that the wound on her body had long since healed, and on top of the healed wound, white hairs had grown.
The black hair on her head had turned snow-white, and her face was extremely ugly, but it was the same as the bat.
Seeing that she had just missed, the woman screamed miserably, and the white hair on her whole body exploded instantly at this moment, and the teeth in her mouth were like the teeth of the saw, constantly biting up and down, and there was a strange metal-like collision sound.
She was so fast that before I could roll over and get up, she lunged at me.
I couldn't get up for a moment, so I lunged forward and dodged the fatal blow in one fell swoop.
I knew that I was no match for this woman, and I had already calculated in my heart, so I opened the cloth bag and took out a talisman from it.
This is the 'Worm Charm', and if you light this charm, you can summon a nearby spirit worm to come and help.
The insect control charm can also be said to be a contract, and the nearby spirit insects come to help the insect master, but the insect master must also unconditionally agree to a condition for the spirit insects.
Moreover, the spirit insect master summoned by this insect master cannot be selected independently, and the strength is naturally unknown, so in comparison, the insect master will not easily use this kind of talisman.
However, in front of me, I know that I am not the opponent of that woman, and I can't care about anything else, I hope that my grandfather can bless his grandson in the spirit of heaven and summon a powerful spirit worm.
The talisman burned, and I kept chanting the incantation in my mouth.
The woman seemed to know that waiting for my ritual to succeed would be detrimental to her, and she lunged at me again.
I was not in a hurry to dodge, and a piece of flesh was directly torn off from my right leg by the woman's claws, and the pain was heartbreaking.
Seeing the woman pounce again, I held back the pain in my right foot and kicked the fallen worm at her with a single force.
The woman was extremely nimble, dodging my attacks with a single dodge, but it also bought me some time.
The talisman burned and the incantation stopped, and I gasped and looked around, hoping for a more powerful spirit worm.
I looked around, but found nothing, and saw the woman pounce again, open her bloody mouth, and bite at the door of my face.
I was distracted and shouted terrible, but just as the woman was about to bite me in front of the door, the clothes scattered on the ground were unwinded, and they were bound up to the woman with a strange and rapid speed.
Before I could come to my senses, the clothes had already tied up the woman.
Moreover, it was as if something had been carved into the garment, and the more the woman struggled, the more the rope of the garment bound her.
The woman struggled, but only in vain.
Unexpectedly, this woman was subdued in a few seconds.
However, in addition to my amazement, many doubts welled up in my heart, can these be done by spirit worms?
If so, then what level of spirit worm is needed for this?
If it's not a spirit worm, then what would it be, people?
When I came back to my senses and wanted to find the spirit worm that helped me subdue the woman, I actually forgot that I couldn't open the spirit pupil, so I hugged my fists and said: "I am the Fang family's insect master, and just now thanks to the insect brother's timely help, it is really a great grace, Fang Yu is grateful." ”
However, after a few minutes, there was no sound in the room except for the mournful shouts of me and the woman.
I was stunned, could it be that this spirit worm didn't want to show up to meet me?
Since this is the case, then I had to be embarrassed and said: "I don't know if Brother Worm helps me solve such a big trouble, what conditions do I need Fang Yu to agree to, please make it clear?" ”
After waiting for about four or five minutes, there was no other sound in the room.
The doubts in my heart are even worse, could it be that this spirit worm only does things without any payment?
Since the spirit worm does not show up, and there is no intention to ask me to agree to any conditions, presumably this spirit worm must be the same as me, with noble character and likes to help others.
I clenched my fist into the void, and without saying anything, I picked up the tightly wrapped woman and walked out of the room.
Erdan and Li Fugui, who were waiting outside, saw me walk out, and their hearts were finally relieved.
Seeing me carrying the woman who looked like a dried corpse, Li Fugui's tears flowed out, and he fell to his knees, begging me to save his wife.
Ten minutes later, we came to the room that had been smoked by firewood, and I asked Li Fugui to tie his wife to a chair, and then asked Erdan to move the tied straw man.
Now that there is not much water left in the woman's body, I must get the worm out of her body as soon as possible, or the woman may not survive tonight.
If you want to successfully drive the fish away from the woman, you must have a parasite, and this is where the straw man I let the two eggs be pierced is used.
Before I can do that, though, I need to put something on the straw man.
Let this straw man come to life!
