Chapter 119: Questioning
When I woke up the next morning, I still thought it was too mysterious.
I was inexplicably sent here by the master, and then I met this kind old man, and he was ready to take me in for exactly a week.
"Come out when you wake up." I was just about to stretch when the old man at the door lifted the curtain and said to me.
I was startled and hurriedly followed him out—
As a result, when I saw the old man, I was stunned! He ...... at this time He was holding a scythe in his hand, the tip of which was pointing right at me.
"Old, old man...... It's ......" I carefully removed the dangerous tip of my knife and stepped aside.
"The reward for living here, find a Chinese medicinal herb." As he spoke, he took out a green plant from his pocket, which looked like bitter herbs.
Then he gave me the scythe.
"You can't use this for medicine......" I asked, looking at the dangerous scythe.
"Self-defense."
……
The phone has not been confiscated for a long time, so I can only hold a simple compass given to me by my uncle, and silently pray in my heart that I will find my way back for a while.
But it didn't take long for me to feel lost in the woods.
I couldn't see the way I came, but the only thing I was thankful for was that I still found a few of these herbs.
In the distance, I seem to hear the sound of the water, is there a small river here? I suddenly came to my senses and walked in the direction where the voice came from.
I hadn't gone far before I actually saw a small stream flowing down the slope.
I didn't think that there was a river in this deserted place, and I suddenly felt that I was in a much better mood, and I finally didn't have to face these identical trees every day.
Rustle –
Suddenly, there was a sound on the left, and I subconsciously looked over, but I didn't see anyone.
But the voice kept coming, and I thought I had heard it wrong, but so close......
I cautiously walked to the left, and just after turning a corner, I saw a woman crouching on the ground.
The long whip hung down to the ground, and I could only see the side of her face at this angle.
It's a good-looking woman.
But I immediately knocked on my head, what was I thinking, my mind was full of ...... It doesn't matter to me what people look like.
Just as I was about to leave silently, the woman suddenly found me!
"Who are you!?" She asked, and then her face turned!
The words I was about to explain were immediately choked in my throat because ...... The woman's face......
The other half was deeply sunken, the eyeballs were protruding from the atrophied muscles, and the corners of the mouth were twitching slightly, looking terrifying!
I was so frightened that I took a step back, only to see the woman immediately turn her head!
"Who are you?" She immediately covered the half of her face with her hair, and then slowly turned around.
"Excuse me...... I'm just passing through! I'll go now! I quickly explained that I was really scared by accident just now, but it seemed to be too rude......
One of her intact eyes stared at me coldly, as if to consider whether my words could be trusted.
"What do you see?" She put her things away, and I saw what seemed to be a small basin on the floor, and a few bottles and jars.
"I ...... I didn't see anything, I was really passing by! I quickly stretched out three fingers and swore to God.
But she didn't believe me, and one of her exposed eyes stared straight at me, as if she was thinking about it.
I almost felt like I was going to die unjustly, obviously I was really passing by, but I still had to be suspected by her.
But her face ...... I couldn't help but look at her hair blown up by the breeze, and I could vaguely see the muscles that were being held together, which were hanging horribly on her face.
I swallowed a little scared, knowing that it was rude, but ......
"If I'm not mistaken, you're not here." She suddenly calmed down, no longer as fierce as before.
"Yes, I just got lost and was injured, and I was taken in by a good Samaritan for a few days, and I will leave when my injury is healed." I quickly explained, looking at her as if she didn't want to deal with me.
"That's fine, but ......," she said suddenly, "you'd better forget what you saw today, or you'll ......"
She didn't say anything, but that face alone was enough to threaten me.
I nodded hurriedly, and couldn't help but glance at the left side of her face that was covered by hair.
She looked at me meaninglessly, and I was stunned and quickly left here.
Following the direction of the compass, I didn't know that I would find the old man's residence so smoothly.
Although there are not many medicinal materials collected today, it is ...... The woman was too afraid to stay any longer.
But the old man is not at home, is he going out? I looked around a few meters around the house and didn't see him.
"Excuse me...... Is anyone there? At that moment, a timid voice suddenly came from behind me, and I quickly turned my head and saw a little girl standing there with her head hooked and looking in.
"Who are you looking for?" I hurried along, but I didn't have to ask to know it wasn't looking for me.
"Ahh
"You...... Ah, I was saved by the master, you see! "I quickly raised my left arm, which was covered with a plaster cast and a thick bandage around my neck.
Therefore, the collection of medicine just now will be so inconvenient.
But she still looked at me suspiciously, not daring to come closer.
I sighed helplessly, as if I had really done something, and I couldn't explain it when I wanted to.
"Don't be afraid, I'm not a bad person, but the person you're looking for is out today, and I don't know when he's coming back, otherwise you'll come back later?" I had no choice but to persuade kindly.
The little girl looked to be seventeen or eighteen years old, with a braided hair that resembled the woman I had just seen.
"Then you go with me." But the little girl suddenly said something.
I was slightly stunned, thinking that I had misheard, but the little girl couldn't react to me, so she came up and grabbed my arm and walked forward!
I was startled and quickly shook off her hand.
"Where are you going...... I'm not from here either, so I'd better wait for the old man to come back. I quickly explained that who knew where she was going to pull me, and I didn't know if I would be able to find my way back.
"No! It's too late! She suddenly became serious, and there was no fear in her eyes.
"Alas!" Before I could react, she pulled me forward again!
But she didn't know where she got the strength, so she dragged me forward like this.
"Wait! Where the hell are we going! ”
"You'll know when you go!" She said without looking back, let me be two heads up.
was dragged here so inexplicably, and said that there was something important...... Who the hell am I messing with......
After she dragged me around for a while, I saw that there seemed to be a village in front of me, and there were many families in the village, which opened my eyes in the deep mountains.
I thought it was all retail here, but I didn't expect there to be a village.
"Hurry up! It's too late for a while! She ran forward so hard that I could only keep up with her.
After pulling me to the village, she led me to a house.
"Save my brother!" As soon as I entered the door, she suddenly let go of my hand and said to me!
I froze, could it be that I was called here to ...... Save!?
But I don't know anything, and I'm not a medical student, so where can I save people!?
But she still pulled me to the bed, and I saw a woman and a middle-aged man standing in front of the bed.
The woman kept crying, while the middle-aged man was smoking there vigorously, not knowing what he was thinking.
When she saw me come in, the woman rushed to my side and grabbed my clothes tightly!
"Please, save my son! Please! She cried and shouted.
I quickly helped her up and glanced at the young man lying on the bed.
He lay straight on the bed, his eyes wide, but his eyes stared blankly ahead, as if he was frozen.
"That...... I'm not a doctor, so I don't know how to save him...... "I want to save him, but there's nothing I can do."
"Mother, he is the person found by Uncle Han's family, and I had to drag him here when Uncle Han is not there......" The little girl lowered her head and explained, and I quickly nodded to the woman.
I can't afford to come up and beg for it so indiscriminately.
"You're not a doctor!? How could you!? So what about my son!? She screamed suddenly, and grabbed her hand with a hand!
I was startled and quickly avoided it, I didn't want to leave a few more scars on my face for no reason.
"Stop!" At this moment, the man suddenly shouted, and the woman immediately did not dare to speak.
I was able to break free from her.
"You go to the basement for me!" He suddenly shouted at the little girl, and I could clearly feel the girl shrink for a moment, and then shuffle out slowly.
I wanted to go out with her, but I was stopped all of a sudden!
"You stay here, if you can't cure it...... If he dies, your life ......" He looked at me coldly, and I shuddered with fright.
It's winter, so why do I think his house is colder than outside......
The woman also came up and restrained me tightly, as if she were afraid that I would escape!
I glanced at the man on the bed again...... He still looks so straight and straight, and if it weren't for the fact that his eyes still have some focus, I would even think he is dead.
"Okay, you let me go first." I shook off the woman's hand and stepped into the man.
His body was cold and terrifying, and his pulse was only a faint breath, which he couldn't touch at all if he didn't touch it carefully, and it could be seen that he could hold on until time was running out.
But...... What's going on here? He doesn't look like he's sick?
"Can you hear me?" I asked, not quite hopefully.
His eyes were still straight and straight, as if he hadn't heard them at all.
However, just as I was about to give up, his eyes suddenly moved! I was absolutely right, his eyes seemed to move towards me!
