Chapter 137: Corpse Poison

When Lin Xueyi was relieved at night, she kicked a zombie and unfortunately got poisoned by the corpse, and after getting up in the morning, she told Hu Kehao that he wanted to eat chicken blood and pig blood, as long as it was animal blood, she wanted to eat it. Hu Kehao went to the street to buy pig blood and duck blood, and prepared to cook it himself and cook Mao Xuewang for Lin Xueyi.

The so-called Mao Xuewang, popular in Chongqing and southwest China, is a famous traditional dish. This dish is eaten hot and hot with raw blood, and hairy belly offal is the main ingredient, so it gets its name. In the process of Hu Kehao's cooking, Lin Xueyi couldn't wait, and he actually ate the raw blood directly. Hu Kehao saw Lin Xueyi's symptoms, and asked the village masters again to make sure that she had been poisoned by the corpse. Hu Kehao asked Hong Daoist for help, and Hong Daoist said that the corpse poison and yin qi were very heavy, and asked Hu Kehao to find a magic medicine, called Fire Spirit Grass, and cooperate with Hong Daoshi's method to remove the corpse poison from Lin Xueyi's body.

Master Hong Dao painted an image of the Fire Spirit Grass for Hu Kehao. There are eight branches on the main stem of this fire spirit grass, and each branch has nine leaves, which are red in color, and belong to the masculine grass. According to traditional culture, one, three, five, seven, and nine belong to the yang number, and nine is the largest yang number. This Fire Spirit Grass is very rare, and it takes a pious heart, trekking through mountains and rivers, and luck to find it.

In order to treat Lin Xueyi and remove the corpse poison from her body, Hu Kehao carried a backpack to look for medicine everywhere. A few days later, Hu Kehao came to Magpie Village, Calamus Township. This magpie village is the village where the trafficker Jiang Cuizhi sold He Xin to Zhou Chuanzong and Zhou Li's father and son. Jiang Cuizhi was later cleaned up by Huang Lan, a female ghost who saw unevenness on the road, died of a violent illness, and was reincarnated in the womb of Wang Fang in Wangjiawan, Baishi Township, and died of dystocia before she was born, which was the retribution awarded to her by the king of Hades.

When Hu Kehao was looking for Fire Spirit Grass in Magpie Village, he met the village official He Shujun. After graduating from university, He Shujun was assigned to Magpie Village as a village official. At that time, He Xin was sold to Zhou's family as a daughter-in-law, and after receiving Hu Kehao's report, Tang Xiaorong, secretary of the village party committee, first stabilized him with good words, and then called Zhou Chuanzong, saying that his family's purchase of a daughter-in-law had been reported, and asked him to quickly get people away and find a place to hide. He Shujun heard Secretary Tang's words, he didn't dare to make a noise, he was afraid of startling the snake, so he secretly followed Zhou Chuanzong, and later He Shujun told Hu Kehao about Zhou Chuanzong's whereabouts, and Hu Kehao and Li Tianbang finally rescued He Xin.

"What are you looking for in the wilderness?" He Shujun saw Hu Kehao, who he had known for a long time, and asked after greeting.

"I'm looking for an herb called Fire Spirit Grass, have you seen it?" Hu Kehao said.

"I've heard old people say that there is this kind of grass, but it's hard to find. The children in the village have been hit by evil spirits, and some people have used this grass. He Shujun said.

"I searched for a few days and couldn't find it, it's really troublesome, and the patient needs it urgently."

"Don't be in a hurry, go and ask the old people in the village to see where this grass is." He Shujun invited Hu Kehao to sit in the village committee office. In the process of working in Magpie Village, He Shujun saw that the villagers were very poor and conservative and degenerate, so he did not give up passively, but actively thought about the way to get rich for the villagers. He Shujun found that there are many women in Magpie Village who have good knitting skills, and the hand-knitted sweaters are even more beautiful than the sweaters sold in the shopping mall. He Shujun organized the women in the village to knit sweaters, scarves, and blankets, and contacted merchants to sell, and the business was not bad. Some men were not afraid of shame and played knitting like women, and the village gradually became richer. What does it matter if a man does needlework? Sima Yi also wore the women's clothes given to him by Zhuge Liang during the Three Kingdoms era, what is the shame of this? Sima Yi insisted on not fighting, and finally consumed Zhuge Liang to death in Wuzhang Plain.

There was no more buying and selling of daughters-in-law in the village, and two bachelors actually married wives before the age of forty. The villagers are very grateful to He Shujun, he is young and has a high prestige in the village, and the limelight is almost overshadowing Tang Xiaorong, the secretary of the village party committee. There is a "smart" old man in the village who told He Shujun that he is a "master of high merit", which may offend Tang Xiaorong, the secretary of the village party committee, and tell him to hide his edge appropriately. When Tang Xiaorong, secretary of the village party committee, found out, he laughed, saying that he had long wanted to "pass on" the throne to He Shujun, and even if he was promoted to a township cadre, he would approve of it with both hands.

Hu Kehao came to He Shujun's office and saw knitted blankets, knitted sweaters, and knitted scarves. Hu Kehao wanted to buy a knitted scarf for Lin Xueyi, and He Shujun sent one directly to him, no money, and said: "These are all given to me by the women in the village, saying that I helped them earn money, and sent these things to express gratitude." Look, I'm taking bribes again, what should I do? ”

"What kind of bribe are you? Some petty officials are greedy, that is, you are such a big and petty official, and there are countless amounts of money embezzled. These things of yours are not bribes, they are the love of the villagers. Hu Kehao said.

"The child of Uncle Liu's family in the village has bumped into evil, he has looked for fire spirit grass, let me help you ask." He Shujun called Uncle Liu, who put down the work in his hand and immediately rushed to the village committee. He Shujun is now a god in the hearts of the villagers, as long as he has something, the villagers are very willing to serve.

Fourth Uncle Liu learned what happened, and took Hu Kehao to find the Fire Spirit Grass with his memory. Fire Spirit Grass mostly grows in places with dangerous terrain, and the last time Uncle Liu was lucky, he found it on the edge of a cliff. In search of this grass, it is inevitable to climb mountains and cliffs, and they bring ropes, grappling hooks and other tools.

"Our village has changed a lot this year, life is better than before, He Shujun, a young man, is not simple! The village officials of many other villages ran away, but He Shujun persevered and led us to slowly get rich! On the secluded mountain trail, Fourth Uncle Liu was full of praise for He Shujun.

"For such a village official, you should go to the township government more to report it, and you should let the cadres above know about him! He is so focused on your work that he doesn't want to slap his horse, and his superiors don't know his contributions! Hu Kehao said.

"It's also huh! Otherwise, we villagers jointly wrote a letter of thanks, first thanking the township chief, saying that under the leadership of the township chief, we would ...... He Shujun actively responded to the call of the township chief and helped us get rich. In this way, the township chief will not think about it, otherwise it will be unfavorable to He Shujun. Fourth Uncle Liu said.

"Fourth uncle, you are so smart! You're like an old fox! Hu Kehao said.

"No way, my child works outside the home, and he has these experiences. Although I don't read much, I often give him some bad ideas. Fourth Uncle Liu said.

Fourth Uncle Liu followed the mountain road in his memory and helped Hu Kehao find the Fire Spirit Grass. Suddenly, Hu Kehao saw a black-roofed greenhouse in front of him. Hu Kehao asked, "What is here?" ”

"I heard that there is a vegetable greenhouse here, but I don't know what is grown in it. It's really strange, how could a vegetable greenhouse be built on a mountain? Growing vegetables needs to absorb sunlight, why is the roof black? I really don't understand, maybe it's the progress of science and technology! Fourth Uncle Liu said.

Hu Kehao gradually approached the vegetable greenhouse, and found that not only the roof was black, but all around was black, it seemed that this greenhouse was not for growing vegetables, maybe the people inside were doing bad things. Hu Kehao came to the door of the vegetable greenhouse, and a big black dog barked. Fortunately, the black dog is chained, otherwise it will suffer a big loss if it is bitten, and it is inevitable to go to the street to get a rabies vaccine.

The owner of the shed heard the barking of the dog and knew that a stranger was coming, and a head came out of the curtain at the door of the shed like a thief, and saw Hu Kehao, and Hu Kehao also saw him. They looked at each other and smiled, they were acquaintances, this person recognized Hu Kehao, and Hu Kehao also recognized him, he was Professor Yang Shimo, who had retired from U City University of Technology.
