Chapter 20: Scorpion Venom
Ye Feifei was thinking while observing the old man.
The old man looked to be about seventy years old, wearing a black old Tang costume worn during the Republic of China, very thin, thin like a shriveled "corpse", half-bent over, and his left foot seemed to be disabled. He had white hair, and his face was not only wrinkled, but also extremely pale, as if he hadn't seen the sun for a long time. The eyes are not very good, half-squinting, and the whites of the eyes are much more than the black. It's no wonder that Ye Feifei will be frightened, not to mention being in this kind of place at night, even if he is in the downtown during the day, with the dignity of his grandmother, he can scare a bunch of people.
Then the old woman said slowly: "Miss, you don't have to panic, I can smell the breath on your body, and others can smell it." When the young lady came to Wuyun Mountain, didn't anyone tell you not to walk around and talk to people less? The old woman used her previous words to question Ye Feifei again. It sounded like he was blaming Ye Feifei's elders, not Ye Feifei himself.
Ye Feifei remembered his grandfather's advice, which was to let her talk to others less, and hurriedly asked, "Who are you?" What do you know? ”
The old woman moved her disabled feet, held an oil lamp in her hand, walked to the portrait, and asked unhurriedly, "Miss, are you surnamed Ye?" ”
"How do you know?" Ye Feifei asked.
"You have the taste of the Ye family, the old man's family name is Wu, and the ancestor is the guardian of the Ye family. In the early years, the Ye family was kind to the Wu family. After the Ye family was gone, the ancestors of the Wu family were grateful for the kindness of the Ye family, so they asked their children and grandchildren to guard the courtyard for them. After my old man is gone, I'll be here to clean. The old woman continued to look at the painting without looking back.
"I shouldn't have appeared here, but the smell of blood on your body is too strong, and I'm afraid that someone in Wuyun City has already smelled you." The old woman said as she picked the wick on the oil lamp with her hand.
"Who are you referring to, who is going to harm me, what does this Ye Mansion have to do with me?" Ye Feifei kept asking.
The old woman didn't answer Ye Feifei's question, but pointed to the scorpion lamp in Ye Feifei's hand and said, "Look at what's missing from the oil lamp in your hand?" ”
Ye Feifei followed the direction pointed by the old woman, lifted the oil lamp in his left hand and looked at it carefully. What about the jet-black copper lamp, the scorpion-tail-like flat pillar, the scorpion-like head, the wick, the wick? This lamp doesn't even have a wick. The scorpion was supposed to have a wick in its mouth, but this oil lamp had no wick, and it was strange that the oil lamp could be lit without a wick.
"This lamp doesn't have a wick!" Just as Ye Feifei raised his head and wanted to answer the old woman, a brown scorpion crawled out of the mouth of the scorpion lamp, and the scorpion was not big, less than two centimeters. The scorpion crawled out of the oil lamp and quickly got into Ye Feifei's hand. Before Ye Feifei could react, the severe pain had already spread throughout his body. Ye Feifei endured the severe pain and asked, "What is this, what have you done?" ”
"This is the scorpion lamp, when you find the wick, you will naturally understand!" Ye Feifei listened to this sentence in a daze, and finally couldn't help the pain and fainted.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Ye Feifei...... Ye Feifei...... Wake up..... Wake up......" Ye Feifei woke up dizzily in a shaking, and Ye Feifei was lying in Gao Yunliang's arms at this time.
Ye Feifei felt that she was next to a thick chest, and a pair of big hands hugged her tightly, safe and thick. Not long after she was born, her father disappeared inexplicably, and her mother has always taken care of her, which is also the reason for her independent personality. Although her grandfather and uncles gave her meticulous love, they could never make up for her lack of fatherly love. A safe and thick embrace, that was all her childhood dreams, and to this day, she still longs for that embrace. Ye Feifei didn't want to open her eyes, she wanted to lie like this all the time, lying in this broad, thick, and safe embrace.
Ye Feifei opened his eyes with difficulty and asked, "Where am I, what's wrong with me?" ”
"You just fainted." Gao Yunliang, who was holding Ye Feifei, spoke.
Ye Feifei realized that he was lying in Gao Yunliang's arms, stood up shyly, moved his body, and showed a blush on his face.
Gao Yunliang let go of Ye Feifei's soft and delicate body, feeling a little abrupt, and said with an embarrassed smile: "Not long after we went out, we saw you standing at the door of Ye Mansion, we called you from a distance, and you didn't respond." When you approached, you suddenly fainted, and I took out my hand to catch you, Miss Ye. ”
Gao Yunliang saw that Ye Feifei didn't look angry, so he continued: "There are a lot of mosquitoes and poisons in this Wuyun Mountain, especially this kind of old house that is in disrepair and weeds are born, centipedes, spiders, scorpions and so on are often infested, just now I saw that Miss Ye Feifei had a small brown hole on her left hand, she should have been bitten by the scorpion in this house, so she fainted." I have already put medicine on Miss Ye's hand just now, and it should be cured soon. ”
"Have I been standing at this door, have you seen how I got out?" Ye Feifei felt very strange, she obviously entered this Ye Mansion, and she also saw the scene just now...... "Isn't that true?" ”
"Did Miss Ye see something? I don't know if you've ever entered this house, but when we saw you, you stood at the door, and then you fainted, and Kuroko and Yifan both saw it. Gao Yunliang pointed at Cheng Yifan and said.
Cheng Yifan and Heizi nodded at Ye Feifei at the same time.
"But I obviously went in just now, and I saw an old woman." Ye Feifei thought to herself in her heart, but she didn't say it.
Gao Yunliang looked at Ye Feifei in a daze, pulled up her injured left hand and pointed at the wound and said, "Miss Ye, this scorpion venom in you is called the Brown Spirit Scorpion, this scorpion venom can instantly make people dizzy, and if there are too many toxins, it will also make people hallucinate." I saw Miss Ye's wound just now, it should have been injured by an adult poisonous scorpion, and the toxin of this scorpion is quite mature, so Miss Ye should have had some hallucination just now. ”
"Is it really an illusion", Ye Feifei was a little skeptical, raised his head and looked into the depths of the Ye Mansion. Suddenly, Ye Feifei remembered the old man's words, and asked Gao Yunliang: "Has this Ye Mansion been abandoned for a long time, and has no one taken care of it?" ”
"Oh, this Ye Mansion should have been abandoned for hundreds of years, it used to be taken care of by the Wu family, and then the Wu family moved to the city and no one took care of it, no one took care of it for more than ten years."
"This Wu Xiaoli is Kuroko's girlfriend, maybe Kuroko knows something, why don't you ask him." Gao Yunliang turned his head to look at Kuroko.
Hearing Gao Yunliang say this, Ye Feifei hurriedly asked, "Does the Wu family have a grandmother whose legs and feet are not very convenient?" ”
Heizi showed a very surprised look, and thought to himself, "This Ye Feifei won't really see Wu Xiaoli's grandmother in the Ye Mansion, right?" After sorting out his thoughts, Heizi said: Wu Xiaoli has a grandmother, and her legs and feet are not very sharp, but more than ten years ago, Wu Xiaoli's grandmother was lost. Grandma Wu was guilty of severe Alzheimer's disease, because her legs and feet were not good, and the Wu family didn't pay much attention to her actions, so she was left alone at home. However, one day more than ten years ago, Grandma Wu suddenly disappeared, and at that time, we people in Wuyun Town searched together for a long time and did not find it.
It just so happened that there was an abandoned passage leading to the mountain behind the Ye family, and the Ye family was taken care of by Grandma Wu before, so everyone thought that she should have walked into the mountain and got lost, and the chance of survival was not great.
"Didn't you go into the mountains to look for it?" Ye Feifei asked.
"I've looked for it, I've been looking for a long time and I haven't found it, it's really not easy to find someone in this Wuyun Mountain. You wouldn't have seen Grandma Wu in it, would you? Recently, some people have been saying that this house is not clean, but there is really something in it. Gao Yunliang asked after Ye Feifei's words.
"Brother Yunliang, do you want to go in and have a look?" Kuroko suggested.
Ye Feifei looked at the wound on his hand and remembered the conversation with the old woman. "I shouldn't have shown up because your blood smells too strong!" Ye Feifei felt that even if it wasn't an illusion, that old woman should have no malicious intent. She subconsciously felt that the old woman was here to help her, and she had come at great risk. Ye Feifei thought that he should not live more before entering the mountain, so he didn't want Gao Yunliang and them to go into the Ye Mansion to check on something, so he prevaricated: "Oh, it may be my hallucination." ”
Gao Yunliang looked at Ye Feifei who was in a daze, and then looked at Ye Mansion. Slightly thoughtful, he replied to Heizi: "It's too late, let's wait until daytime, the people of the Li family are still waiting for us to eat." ”
"Let's go, Miss Ye!" Gao Yunliang smiled and shouted at Ye Feifei.
"Call me Feifei." Ye Feifei didn't dare to go back.
At this time, in the deserted mansion of Ye Mansion, a black figure wearing a bucket robe was looking at Gao Yunliang and them, and said in his mouth: "The smell has disappeared here!" ”
Gao Yunliang felt that a pair of eyes were staring at him, and he turned his head to look at Ye Mansion slightly, but he didn't find anything? But he vaguely felt that the murderous aura in the Ye Mansion was very heavy.
