"Water!" Sheng Shiyao muttered a word, his black eyes staring at the clear stream next to him.

I immediately understood what he meant, and the water had something to do with the deterioration of their wounds, but it wasn't just the two of them who washed their faces and drank water, so why were the others okay? The thoughts in their minds are connected, because the three of them have injuries on their bodies, and there must be a substance in this water that will have a role in promoting the deterioration of the wounds.

Compared with that Zheng Dong, Zhou Tong and Liuzi's injuries have already healed, so the reaction is not so big. But the suppurative places have to be cleaned, and the most important thing is to wash their stomachs, there is no medical equipment here, so they can only be poured with water and then vomit. When the vomiting reached the third time, Zhou Tong lay on the ground weakly, saying that even his legs were spitting up and he would never dare to eat and drink outside indiscriminately in the future.

Liuzi had always been dull, but he was also hard, and when he scraped off the carrion that had grown from the cracked skin of his kneecap, his brows were furrowed very tightly, and his face was painful, but he did not say a word. I know that the leg injury is a major problem for him, and he tries not to seem bumpy along the way, just because he is afraid of other people's strange eyes, but this infection is inevitable.

When I had taken care of their wounds, I turned my head to look for Sheng Shiyao and saw him squatting by the stream not far away. Walking up to him to see what he was studying, this bow stunned me, and what was floating in the water was ...... The feeling of nausea suddenly swelled up, and there were many white floating objects like maggot eggs floating on the water, all of which came from the upper reaches of the water, and when they reached the place where the water was urgent, they were washed away, some of them were attached to the water under the grass, and some of them floated down the river.

Isn't that the water they drank just now...... I turned my eyes back in astonishment to look at the crowd. Zhuang Yu sensitively noticed that my eyes were strange, and he also walked over, and when he saw the white floating objects in the clear water, his complexion changed suddenly. I only heard Uba's suspicious voice: "White worm eggs? ”

We all turned our eyes to him, but he was not only ugly, but also frightened. Zhuang Yu immediately asked him what was going on, and after listening to his narration, everyone's faces turned pale, especially the person who washed his face with water and drank it before.

The white worm is a parasite that likes to burrow into the blood vessels and grows by sucking blood, and has a strong virus breeding power. As for the white eggs, although they are not formed, they will bring all kinds of stains into the human body, no wonder a few people who are injured will quickly worsen their wounds. But these are not the main ones, the main thing is that this white insect is usually used to make Gu worms! At this time, the eggs floating in the stream are likely to be in the upstream Gu pond, and the Gu worms in the pond have laid eggs and flowed downstream.

This time, not only the three of them are going to wash their stomachs, but all those who have touched the water will have to be washed. Uba says that the most effective way to kill the eggs is spirits, which must be cleaned up before they can be used as a vehicle to degenerate into worms. But who would bring spirits with them when they go on a mission? Jian Ning asked if it would be useful to neutralize it with alcohol, this method even I felt reluctant, maybe it was okay to use it to clean my face, and it was used to drink? The concentration of medical alcohol can be 75%, even if it is diluted with water, it should not be used to drink.

In the atmosphere of suffocation of everyone, Zhou Tong suddenly spoke weakly: "Is my bottle of 52-degree liquor considered a spirit?" He took out a dark brown ceramic bottle from his bag, and the seal was a tight wooden stopper. I rushed forward with an arrow step, pulled the cork and took it to my nose and smelled it, the rich aroma of liquor immediately wafted into my nose, and I looked down in astonishment and asked, "Where did you get such a bottle of wine?" ”

Zhou Tong replied with a painful face: "Little sister, keep your hands steady, this is the extra money that my brother and I earned almost overnight with the farmer's house, it was brewed by him himself, and it has been stored for more than ten years, and I can't buy it outside." I used such a bottle, and I filled it with more than a pound, and I wanted to take a sip of it once in a while. ”

I'm so angry and funny, my life may be gone, and I still think about this little wine. didn't care about anything, put the wine bottle to his mouth, let him drink two sips in a row, and then went to feed the six sons. After that, he took it and poured two sips for the rest of the people, and when he came back, the wine bottle was empty, Zhou Tong's face was wrinkled bitterly, he poured the bottle into the palm of his hand, poured out some wine, and wiped it on his face, muttering while wiping: "It can't be wasted." ”

I was speechless about this, and I was still worried in my heart, can I really get rid of these white eggs after drinking strong liquor like this? After nearly ten minutes, someone screamed and spat out a large pool of bitter water on the ground, and then all the people who had drunk the wine one after another vomited, and found that there were indeed white eggs in the vomit, and they were much larger than those floating in the stream. I can't help but say it, just over half an hour, the eggs are already growing in the human body, if this is discovered later, won't they all grow into Gu worms?

But not to mention, after they spit out these things, their complexion suddenly improved, even Zhou Tong and Liuzi, and the injuries that had been applied did not deteriorate anymore. It can be seen that Uba is not a nonsense, it is true. Everyone's eyes couldn't help but focus on the upstream of the stream, what kind of Gu cultivation pond was raised, so that the water in the entire stream was polluted.

Thinking of the previous Poya Tree Gu, Zhuang Yu decided to follow the stream upstream to find it. Because although it seems that everyone has expelled all the white insect eggs from their bodies, it is difficult to ensure that there are still remnants, and Wuba also suggested that it is best to destroy the Gu Pond, just in case. After all, these insect eggs are the products of Gu worms, which are equivalent to child Gu, if the mother Gu is destroyed, then even if there are residual insect eggs growing into child Gu in the human body, they will still self-extinguish.

After these twists and turns, although there was no loss of troops, more than half of them turned pale and their strength was greatly reduced, and their morale was greatly affected. Originally, in this case, the wounded should have been left in place to rest, and the rest of the people went up the mountain to find the Gu Cultivation Pond. But there are dangers everywhere in the mountains and forests, and the group of blackbirds is hard to guarantee that they will not go and return, and the horned eagles that have haunted last night have always been a heart disease, and they are not allowed to take advantage of our departure to attack this group of wounded, and the consequences will be unimaginable, so it is decided to act together.

After Zhou Tong and Liuzi's injuries worsened, they couldn't walk as freely as before, and they needed to be supported to keep up with the team. Before we knew it, a few of us were left behind. The one named Zheng Dong weaved a simple stretcher out of branches and was carried by the two of them.

I helped the sixth son to walk in front, Sheng Shiyao and Zhou Tong behind, only to hear Zhou Tong behind me asking: "Brother Yao, I think this trip is enough, as soon as I entered this forest, the situation continued to happen, and it was a little strange." "My heart moved, was he suspicious of Zhuang Yu? Guo heard him lower his voice and whispered: "Could it be that the surname Zhuang deliberately set us up?" ”

Instinctively refuted this speculation, and after a few seconds, Sheng Shiyao was heard to say with certainty: "He won't do this." Don't guess, keep your duty, be more careful, and don't act recklessly. Zhou Tong responded stupidly, and the six sons I was holding laughed sullenly, his voice was not small, but Zhou Tong didn't dare to be mad because Sheng Shiyao was beside him.

I curled the corners of my lips slightly, and although we were in a dangerous place, our small group was still harmonious.

After walking for nearly two hours, I finally came to the source of the stream - the waterfall. The flying stream goes straight down 3,000 feet, and it is suspected that the Milky Way falls for nine days, describing the beautiful scenery of Lushan, but what we see in front of us, the scale may not be so large, but this momentum is also majestic. I heard the sound of a waterfall in the distance, and when I got closer, my ears were buzzing. Directly below the waterfall is a small deep pool from which the stream we went up was drawn.

But the question arises, what about the Gu Cultivation Pool? Is it in this deep pool? Then you have to find it, the main thing is that this water can't be touched, how can you go down to the deep pool to find the Gu pool? I looked up at the top of the waterfall and couldn't help but wonder, could it be that the Gu Pond was not actually at the bottom of the pool, but went down the waterfall from the top of the mountain?

The speculation was immediately confirmed, Uba said that Gu worms are not suitable for cultivation in water, it needs nutrients to grow, and most Gu keepers will use urns to pack insect eggs, add "special substances", and then bury and seal, so it is unlikely to be raised in deep pools.

The waterfall is formed by the fact that the rocks at the bottom of the riverbed are not soft and hard, and are eroded by the impact of the water to form a steep ridge, while the hard rock is relatively overhanging, and then the water flows here and rushes down to become a waterfall. There are also landslides, faults, and lava blockages, but whatever the reason, water is inseparable. It means that there is a living water source on the top of the mountain, and as for how the eggs of the Gu worms will get into the water, we will not know until we climb to the top of the mountain and find the Gu Cultivation Pond.

Originally, our route was also to climb over this mountain, so this trip did not conflict with the planned route. But since it was almost dusk, it would be dark in less than half an hour. Half of the people were weak, so they decided to go up the mountain tomorrow and stop here halfway up the mountain today. A vacant land was chosen to be far away from the stream, and everyone was strictly forbidden to touch the water source again.

Before it gets dark, make all kinds of preparations. A circle was drawn, the outermost layer was sprinkled with realgar powder, and dry firewood was piled up on the inner layer to set fire in case of an attack by a beast or bird. No matter what animal it is, it has a natural fear of fire and can withstand it for a while. Then, after nightfall, everyone is in this circle, not allowed to go out at will, and four people are on duty in the four corners, rotating every three hours.

Thinking that Zhou Tong and Liuzi were already injured, I didn't let them get up at night, so I offered to be on duty at night. Sheng Shiyao only frowned slightly, but did not object. I was in the first half of the night, from nine o'clock to twelve o'clock, and I was sitting in the corner next to Sheng Shiyao and the others, and the fire was full of firewood, and it burned very strongly.

I noticed that the person sitting diagonally opposite me for the night vigil was Zhuang Yu. As the leader of the whole team, the leader of the vast majority of people, he has been a role model since he was on duty, and he was on duty first in the first shift. When he was arranging before, I noticed that Sheng Shiyao was placed in the second shift, and Uba was the last shift, that is, there was a capable person on duty in each shift.
