Chapter 80: The First Encounter with the Past
Su Chang laughed so harmlessly that the livestock was harmless, and Qu Youying exploded when he heard it.
If Xie Xiaoer hadn't had the foresight to hug her earlier, she would definitely rush up directly and beat someone.
"Three kneels and nine knocks! Su Changdu, you-"
The word blind was covered by Xie Xiaoer's hand, and he held the crazy Qu Youying, so he persuaded him.
"You are calm and calm, everything is focused on the overall situation first!"
Qu Youying was covered by him and couldn't speak, but at the moment, he had to give in first, otherwise the old man would definitely die, and they would not get clues.
For the sake of Mu Jingzhu, she endured it.
Xie Xiaoer saw that she was quiet, so he let go of his hand, but he still guarded against her and didn't let her go wild.
Although Su Changjue couldn't see it, his ears could hear it very clearly.
He just likes to watch Qu Youying jump like thunder but is helpless, and said viciously, "How is it?" To say yes or not to agree? β
Qu Youying took a deep breath, then spit out slowly, and said with a smile, "I promise!" You save people. β
"Okay."
Su Changju was also refreshed, strode to the side of the bed, and bowed his chin to Mu Jingzhu, "Help people up." β
Mu Jing Candle immediately did so and helped the person up.
Su Changju said to Xie Xiaoer again, "You go and take over, use internal force to protect his heart, if I don't let you go, don't let go." β
"Okay."
Xie Xiaoer didn't suspect anything, so he went to take over, sat next to the old man, supported him with one hand, and charged his palm to protect his heart.
And Mu Jingzhu stepped aside and stood beside Qu Youying.
Seeing this, Qu Youying said to Xiaoshu, "You go to the door and keep an eye on it, don't let people get close here." β
"Yes."
The little book went to the door to guard.
Su Changju reached out and touched the jade crown used to tie his hair, only to hear a slight "click", and one side of the jade crown was raised.
Su Changju's slender fingers hooked the bulge, pulled it away, and put it in his hand.
It was a nail-length box, and inside it was the golden needle called Life.
The gold needle was very short and thin, but as the name suggests, the whole body was bright gold, as if it were gold.
"A needle in the jade crown, hum, pretend."
Qu Youying was very disdainful.
Mu Jingzhu knew that she was holding a breath in her heart, so he wrote a few words with his fingers on her back.
"Don't bother with him, I'll help you."
Simple words made Qu Youying's face smile again, and her heart was instantly satisfied.
She has a wooden candle! Don't be afraid of Su Changdu!
Su Chang over there didn't argue with her, and after taking out the golden needle, he aimed at the Baihui acupoint on the top of the old man's head.
Baihui, alias: Sanyang Wuhui, belongs to the Du Mai, seven inches above the middle of the posterior hairline, and the middle of the head.
Baihui acupoint is one of the important acupuncture points of the human body, if you don't do it accurately, it is easy to die.
Su Chang decided to make the needle extremely fast and steady, and in the blink of an eye, the golden needle sank into the white hair.
At the same time, the old man's body stiffened, and then he pulled out.
Although Xie Xiaoer protected his heart, it was so shaky that it was difficult to control.
Qu Youying was also anxious, she stepped forward and grabbed Su Changdu.
"Are you saving him?"
Su Chang was calm, and said with disgust, "What a fuss, fool's opinion." β
"You!"
Qu Youying was just about to speak, but Mu Jingzhu pulled her.
"The old man is awake."
Sure enough, when Qu Youying turned his head to look, the old man had already opened his eyes and stopped shaking.
His eyes were small, but not cloudy, and he looked at a few people in the room to get a general idea.
"Thank you for the rescue."
Xie Xiaoer only then got Su Changdu's signal and collected his internal strength.
"Grandpa is welcome, we don't mean well, we have something to ask for."
Qu Youying knew how inappropriate it was to say this, but they had been delayed for a long time.
Although the golden needle continues to live, it must also be judged according to the state of the rescued person.
And this old man, who was already injured in his internal organs, is now poisoned, and the venom has invaded his heart.
I'm afraid that if there is a golden needle to continue my life, I will die soon.
The old man was not surprised, he sat on the bed, looked at Qu Youying, and said, "I know there will always be such a day." β
Qu Youying was overjoyed, which showed that they were not looking for the wrong person.
"Grandpa, do you really know anything about those two portraits?"
"Yes." The old man sighed heavily.
He patted the wooden bed with his hand and said to Xie Xiaoer beside him, "Child, under the bed, there is a box, please help me take it out." β
Xie Xiaoer immediately squatted down and pulled out a large box from under the bed.
There wasn't much dust on it, but it was locked, and it looked like someone was opening it often.
The old man took off a key from his neck tremblingly and handed it to Qu Youying.
Qu Youying took it and squatted down to pick the lock.
The moment the box was opened, she smelled the smell of old decay on the tip of her nose.
It didn't smell heavy, but it still made her choke and sneeze.
Seeing this, Mu Jingzhu waved his hand beside her, making the air clear.
This move fell in Xie Xiaoer's eyes, and he couldn't help but look at Mu Jingzhu a few more times.
But Mu Jingzhu didn't make the next move, waved his hand, and stood quietly aside, not moving.
Qu Youying didn't notice this, and kept staring at a white corpse in the alley.
She reached out and compared it, and found that it was the bones of a woman.
And it was the skeleton of an adult woman.
She reached out and took out a broken bone, but found that the bone was soft.
But judging from the broken section, the age of this bone should be more than 20 years.
It should be the same as the bones they put in the ruined house.
"Grandpa, how did you have this corpse? Is it in an abandoned house? β
"Nope." The old man shook his head, his small eyes looked at the bones in the box, and there was a little sparkle in his eyes, "She is my wife, I dug her up from the ground and put her here." β
"But how are her bones soft? Have you ever soaked it in vinegar? β
Ordinary people would not do such a thing, but this old man did not bury his wife's bones, but put them here, and there must be a reason to do so.
The old man stretched out his hand and wiped his eyes, staring at the bones for a long time before he said, "Child, have you ever heard of a place called Inhuman Village?" β
"Inhuman Village?"
Qu Youying really hadn't heard of it, she looked back at the few people around her, and they all shook their heads one by one.
But Su Changju said, "Is it the mysterious race that disappeared twenty-five years ago?" β
The old man nodded, "That's it." β
Qu Youying frowned slightly, she stood quietly to the side, without making a sound, waiting for the old man to talk about the past.
"Inhuman Village is the same village as many villages, but because they look weird, they are called Inhuman Village."
"Is that all?" Su Chang interrupted him and said, "I have heard that the villagers of this Inhuman Village, in addition to their strange appearances, also have special abilities, and it is rumored that they can see things hundreds of miles away, hear sounds thousands of miles away, climb cliffs with bare hands, and survive like fish in the water." β
"Huh." When the old man heard what he said, he actually laughed, "What you said is too exaggerated, they just have a little more five senses than ordinary people, but they can't do what you said." That's just a rumor from the world, for the treasure of Inhuman Village. β
"Baby?" Xie Xiaoer's eyes lit up as soon as he heard the baby, "What kind of baby?" β
Qu Youying slapped him on the head and said viciously, "Shut up and listen well." β
The old man didn't blame him, but continued to speak.
"The people of the Inhuman Village, because they are all close relatives, so the bones of the children born are different from ordinary people, some of the foot bones are very large, and some of the hand bones are of different lengths. But at the same time, they are all having a hard time surviving. β
Inbred marriage, because the bloodline is the same lineage, so the variation will be great.
Qu Youying once heard that there was a big family in the previous dynasty, all of whom were married by close relatives, resulting in the remaining children either deformed or stillborn.
Almost no one survived.
But listening to the old man's tone, this alien village, although it is a close family marriage and childbirth, still has a village.
It survived until twenty-five years ago.
"In Inhuman Village, there is a mysterious and ancient secret method, with which most of the children can be kept alive. So- ahem, ahemβ"
When the old man said this, he coughed suddenly.
He covered his mouth with his hands, but black blood still flowed from his fingers.
He let go of his hand and looked at the black blood in his palm, not showing the fear of death.
Smearing the blood on his clothes, he took a deep breath and exhaled slowly, continuing with the memories he knew.
"So in Inhuman Village, when a child is born, as long as he is alive, a rib will be cut off by the wizard, male left and female right. Then bury the child's ribs under his own chimney, and he can get Zhang Xian's protection. If a child lives past seven days, he will live past the age of the child. If not, it is not protected by Zhang Xian, and must be buried under the sacred tree in the village, praying that the child's soul can be reincarnated smoothly. β
The old man's words reminded Mu Jingzhu of what Liangyi said at the beginning, and it seemed that it was really true.
"Bone sacrifices?" Qu Youying vaguely felt that these words were very familiar, but she didn't know where she heard them, so she had to ask, "What about later?" β
"The people of Inhuman Village will not live to be thirty years old, but they are very united and cherish their lives, because the survival of each of them is not easy to come by. But the village always has its secrets, and their people are different, so they have never been in contact with the outside world. And the environment around the village is also very good for the village. Until that day, more than 30 years ago, the village was attacked. β
When the old man said this, he was a little excited, coughing incessantly, and his face became more and more pale.
Xie Xiaoer was afraid that he would faint suddenly, so he wanted to use his internal force to protect his heart.
But he was rejected by the old man.
"Child, internal strength is hard-won, and it doesn't need to be wasted on a dying person like me."
"But old man, your bodyβ"
The old man stopped his words and shook his head slowly, "It's all up to this juncture, even if it's death, I'll finish it today!" β
Qu Youying's eyes were shocked, and at that moment, what burst out of the old man's eyes was quite strong.
It's as if he is clearly living so uncomfortable, but he still gritted his teeth and walked step by step.
This kind of perseverance is not something that everyone can have.
At this moment, she had admiration for this old man.
"Because of the closure of the Inhuman Village, the world is full of curiosity about the Inhuman Village, especially the rumored Sacred Tree. So on that night more than 30 years ago, the Inhuman Village was attacked, and more than half of the casualties were killed. But it is precisely because of this rescue that it brought a real catastrophe to the Inhuman Village! They are real beasts, wolves in sheep's clothing! β
