As soon as I heard Chen Laosan's words, I chuckled in my heart, what? Are these twenty or so frogs in the jar all the food for this old man? It's hard to believe.

Zhang Kailong also hurriedly turned around, looked at Lao Yu with the eyes of a monster, his mouth moved a few times, and in the end he still couldn't say anything.

"Old than ...... Do you really eat...... Eat these frogs? ”

I stammered.

Actually, I wanted to ask if he really only ate frogs and nothing else.

I also know that frogs have been a delicacy since ancient times, commonly known as field chicken, whether it is a costume drama or martial arts, there is a plot of a certain hero drinking liquor and eating field chicken. But looking at Chen Laosan's expression, and listening to his tone, it seems that he only eats frogs every day and does not eat other food.

Lao Yu didn't admit it, nor did he deny it, in fact, the expression on his face had betrayed him, indirectly admitting that Chen Laosan's judgment was correct.

You look at me and I look at you for two minutes, and they don't speak.

Finally, Lao Yu couldn't hold it back, frowned, and said, "Actually...... Actually, I don't want to! There's really no way. ”

"Do you know you have Gu poison on your body?"

Chen Laosan's tone was neither hurried nor slow, but loud.

"Know...... I knew it a few years ago, it was my daughter who told me! ”

According to Lao Yu's confession, about a few years ago, her daughter found that Lao Yu often got up in the middle of the night and walked outside the yard, at first she didn't care too much, thinking that her father couldn't sleep at night, go out to breathe, although the performance of men's menopause is not as obvious as that of women, but when the age comes, there will be insomnia or inexplicable irritability.

But after going out for a long time and many times, his daughter also began to be suspicious, and once secretly followed behind Lao Yu.

She followed Lao Yu out of the courtyard first, and then walked along the street to the northern outskirts of the village.

At the beginning, his daughter was very cautious, but when she left the village, she saw that Lao Yu had been walking forward in a rhythm, let alone looking back, and she didn't tilt her head.

This made her feel very puzzled, and she faintly felt that her father was a little abnormal.

After Lao Yu left the village, he turned to the left, which was a puddle.

The watery depression is surrounded by weeds and wild vegetables.

Lao Yu's daughter was extremely puzzled, she thought of many possibilities, but she couldn't imagine that her father would come to such a place to do something, let alone in the middle of the night!

At the same time, she gradually became afraid, worried that her father had some kind of sleepwalking disorder and would hurt herself.

Worried about being discovered by her father, Lao Yu's daughter hid by a big tree on the other side of the puddle, and when she tilted her head from behind the trunk to see what her father was going to do, she saw the strangest thing she had ever seen since she grew up.

Lao Yu actually squatted on the ground, grabbed a frog from the grass, and swallowed it alive into his stomach, and as he swallowed it, he let out an eerie laugh, which was not loud, but it was particularly harsh in such a silent and empty wilderness.

This frightened her daughter, and if she hadn't covered her mouth with her hands in advance, she might have shouted out on the spot.

At this time, Lao Yu suddenly turned around, glanced at the big tree, and then turned around and continued to squat on the ground to catch frogs.

When he turned around, under the reflection of the moonlight, Lao Yu's daughter saw a face that was both familiar and unfamiliar, saying that it was familiar because this face was her father's, but at this moment, this face was extremely hideous and terrifying, with a strange and evil expression, this feeling is difficult to describe in words.

She saw her father like a wild beast, squatting in the grass to catch frogs, catching several in a row, all of them were directly stuffed into his mouth and chewed directly, and at the same time, his mouth sneered from time to time.

Five minutes later, Lao Yu's daughter's clothes were already drenched in sweat, and she sat down on the ground, gritting her teeth vigorously while covering her mouth with her hands so as not to make a sound.

After another five or six minutes, Lao Yu slowly stood up, walked to a puddle, and then fell down like a dog and drank water.

At this moment, his daughter almost threw up.

It's dirty water! Usually the sheep and cattle herders in the village drive the domestic animals here, so this depression is full of animal manure such as cattle and sheep.

After a heavy drink, Lao Yu turned around with a smile on his face and walked towards the village.

At that time, her daughter was sitting under the big tree next to the path, and wanted to hide, but she really had no strength, and the moonlight that night was very bright and bright, and it was reasonable to say that Lao Yu could see his daughter at a glance, but strangely he walked over with a smile on his face, and did not look at his daughter.

It wasn't until dawn that Lao Yu's daughter returned home in a trance and returned to her bedroom (her daughter was older, so it was not suitable to sleep together again, so Lao Yu cleaned up a side room for her daughter as a boudoir), and lay down on the bed.

In fact, she couldn't sleep even when she lay down, and the scene just now was like a movie, repeated over and over again in her mind, and it was always difficult to accept.

What the hell happened to my father? She kept asking herself.

After dawn, her father called her to eat, and at this time she seemed to have returned to her original self, and her face was no longer the expression of last night.

She tried to talk to her father about last night, but the father and daughter were not on the same channel at all, which meant that Lao Yu didn't know what he did last night.

Lao Yu's daughter didn't dare to tell Lao Yu about it, for fear that he wouldn't be able to stand the stimulation mentally and something would happen again.

Lao Yu just blindly persuaded his daughter to eat more, but he didn't eat a few bites himself, and Lao Yu's daughter knew that it was because his father ate too many frogs last night.

You can eat it too! Lao Yu's daughter still tried to persuade Lao Yu to eat, and after a few wry laughs, Lao Yu said that her stomach has always been swollen recently, and she never feels hungry.

In the following month, she had the courage to quietly follow Lao Yu several times, and each time she repeated the same thing, Lao Yu lay down in the weeds and wild vegetables to catch frogs to eat, and then lay on the ground to drink the sewage soaked in cow and sheep dung.

The last few times Lao Yu's daughter was no longer afraid, only a stomach full of curiosity remained. Gradually, he also came to the conclusion that every time his father went out between twelve and one o'clock, and every time he went out around the puddle, and every time he ate something was a frog.

He also found that his father's behavior at this time was not like a person, and he was not aware of the outside world, and finally she had the courage to deliberately expose half of her body, wanting to test if her father really couldn't see, but Lao Yu really didn't react.

At first, Lao Yu's daughter thought that her father had sleepwalking, so she began to find a way to find a doctor.

Sleepwalking is a very difficult and incurable disease, not to mention such a remote village, even in big cities, there are few so-called experts who can cure it, not to mention that Lao Yu does not have sleepwalking.

Until one afternoon two years later, she met an old man on the edge of the Yellow River, who looked Lao Yu's daughter up and down, and said straight to the point: "Does your father go out every night to catch frogs to eat?" ”

As soon as Lao Yu's daughter heard this, and then looked at the old man's appearance of a fairy, she knew that she had met someone who understood, so she nodded hurriedly.

The old man asked his father to sit aside and talked to him about it.

The old man said that he had also secretly observed for a long time, and many people in this village had been poisoned by Gu, this kind of Gu poison was very peculiar, and when it happened, the person who fell into Gu was not aware at all, and he didn't even know his parents and wife.

This is not the most terrifying, the most terrifying thing is that the person who is in the Gu will definitely be controlled by the person who is in the Gu, and the consequences can be imagined.

Lao Yu's daughter asked the old man, since many people in the village were hit by Gu, why was his father the only one who went to the puddle in the middle of the night to catch frogs to eat?

The old man replied, this catch frog to eat, is controlled by the Gu worms in his body, in fact, these frogs are the food of the Gu worms. As for why only his father would catch frogs in the middle of the night, first of all, one reason was that she only noticed that her father had this kind of strange behavior, and even if others did, she might not know, and secondly, the degree of development of Gu worms in everyone's body is different, and Gu worms that have not developed and matured do not need to be "added" by the host.

Hearing this, Lao Yu's daughter was very scared, but she also seemed to see hope, she thought that since this old man understood so clearly, she must know how to crack it.

So Lao Yu's daughter asked the old man what to do, and begged him to find a way to save his father.

The old man stroked his beard and nodded slightly, but the expression on his face became solemn.

The old man said that there is a way to do this, but it is more difficult, according to his understanding, this Gu person is not an ordinary person, I am afraid it is not easy to deal with. In the end, the old man still agreed to help Lao Yu remove the Gu poison, provided that he had to listen to him in everything.

In the next half a year, the old man appeared several times openly and secretly, and under the "cooperation between the two of them", Lao Yu finally believed in his strange behavior of going out to eat frogs every night.

Under the instructions of the old man, the father and daughter first caught some frogs, tried to raise them, and slowly learned to breed frogs.

In the following year, every once in a while, the old man would go to his house to help "push his back and waist", saying that this was an ancient Taoist method of treating internal injuries, of course, at night.

In this way, another half a year passed, and Lao Yu finally didn't have to eat frogs unconsciously in the middle of the night, but the Gu poison on his body did not subside, even if it was temporarily controlled!

But in any case, consciously eating cooked frogs is more comfortable than eating live frogs, especially psychologically.

Lao Yu and her daughter are also accustomed to killing a few frogs every day and making delicious chicken meals with seasonings.

About a year ago, Lao Yu found that there were fewer and fewer snakes, rats and other animals near the village, and he guessed in his heart that the Gu worms in the bodies of other Gu people in the village had also matured at this time.
