068 Jiao
It didn't take long for Han Mengmeng to come out, she was wrapped in a bath towel, her hair was still dripping with water, and her exposed skin was red and purple, especially her calves were completely swollen.
Xiao Muxue was shocked, "Mengmeng, what are you doing?" ”
She helped Han Mengmeng sit down, squatted down to look at her legs, and just touched Han Mengmeng lightly, and grinned in pain.
Han Mengmeng lowered her head and wiped her tears, Xiao Muxue frowned and asked her: "What's wrong, how did you get like this, did you go out with Ning Yuan and them just now?" What are you doing? ”
Han Mengmeng didn't say anything, just cried, Lin Ran leaned against the wall with her arms and glanced lightly, "Obviously, her leg was bitten by ants." ”
"Ants?" Xiao Muxue didn't know why, "Can ants bite like this?" ”
"One may not be, but what if there are hundreds, thousands?" Lin Ran pointed to the door, "If you're curious, go outside the room and take a look, you'll be pleasantly surprised." ”
Xiao Muxue was suspicious, but looking at Han Mengmeng's appearance, she probably couldn't ask anything, she stood up and pushed open the door, and the scene she saw made her feel that she had a dense phobia for a moment.
The white floor tiles were full of ants, large and small, densely packed, and poured along the corner of the wall towards this corner, and at first glance it was thought that a black ribbon had been placed on the ground.
Xiao Muxue's scalp was numb, she slammed the door shut, and immediately jumped far away from the door.
"Why, how can this be...... "What she is most afraid of is all kinds of small insects, including the extremely common ants, moths, bees, etc., not to mention such a large group!
Lin Ran tugged at the corners of her mouth, "I also want to ask this question, how did you provoke them?" ”
"We didn't ......" Xiao Muxue was about to refute, but suddenly remembered one thing and stopped, looked at Liu Mengmeng, was silent for a while and said, "I don't know if it's because of this." ”
"Yesterday afternoon, one of my companions found an ant nest at the foot of Fang Mountain, and wanted to follow a video on the Internet, pour aluminum water into the ant nest, and then dig out the entire ant nest......" Xiao Muxue frowned, "I didn't think it was good at the time, so I didn't participate, and went back to the town to feed the cats, but my three classmates all went to dig the ant nest, and I don't know what they did later." ”
Lin Ran rolled her eyes when she heard this.
Xiao Muxue pursed her lips and said, "But, is it because of this incident?" I think it's a little cruel, but it doesn't seem like a big deal, right? Are these ants here for revenge now? They're not monsters, which is ridiculous! ”
In Xiao Muxue's cognition, such a thing is really beyond her imagination.
Lin Ran smiled, "Of course it's more than that, what did they do, they have to ask themselves." ”
Xiao Muxue blinked, Han Mengmeng on the chair only felt itchy and painful all over her body, her skin was red, and she cried and shouted: "Muxue, I'm so uncomfortable, I feel a little difficult to breathe......"
If you are bitten by ants all of a sudden, and you inject too much formic acid, you will inevitably have any symptoms in your body.
Xiao Muxue was anxious all of a sudden, "Oh my God, you, Mengmeng, hold on, I'll call an ambulance!" ”
Xiao Muxue was busy making emergency calls, Lin Ran opened the door and looked at the dense ants on the ground, and said lightly: "You all go back, when they are well, I will personally lead them to make amends to you and give you an explanation." ”
The ants and insects gathered together, and they didn't see any retreat, Lin Ran took a deep breath and pointed to the sky, "I swear as an exorcist and do what I say!" ”
These are ordinary ants and insects, and they are not psychic, but since Lin Ran has exchanged for language understanding, they can understand what they say.
In ancient times, people were very in awe of the oath, if they swore an oath, they must do it, otherwise they would have to bear the consequences of the oath, and now, the oath has long been no deterrent to people, everyone subconsciously does not believe this, and usually jokes about the oath casually, but in the Xuanmen faction, the respect for the oath is the same as in the past.
The ant colony changed direction and retreated, and the "black ribbon" on the floor tiles gradually disappeared, Xiao Muxue saw this scene, full of incredulity, and asked in a daze: "You, who are you?" ”
Lin Ran turned her head and tugged at the corners of her mouth: "My name is Lin Ran, and I am an exorcist." ”
“……”
In the evening, Ning Yuan, Shen Hao, and Han Mengmeng were all sent to the hospital, and the symptoms of the three of them were almost the same, they were all bitten by insects, especially Ning Yuan's condition was the most serious, the whole leg was twice as thick, and it was blue and purple and miserable.
Even the doctor wondered, "Is there such a poisonous ant in Silversilk Town?" Where did you get so many? I've never seen it bitten like this. ”
Ning Yuan's whole face was swollen, and he couldn't speak clearly, Shen Hao regretted it in his heart, he wanted to confess and thought that if he went to someone's field to cut watermelons in the middle of the night, he might have to go to the police station if others knew about it, so he refused to speak, Han Mengmeng only knew how to cry vigorously, and Xiao Muxue didn't get involved, and he was confused about this matter, and he also couldn't understand.
If the doctor can't ask, he won't ask, but fortunately, he knows what he was bitten by, and then as long as he prescribes the right medicine, there is no big problem.
Xiao Muxue leaned against the wall of the hospital and felt very tired.
Originally, everyone said that they would come on a graduation trip together, but it turned out to be like this without much fun, not to mention those inexplicable ants, the three of them actually isolated her and didn't take her with them for anything, but among these three people, one is her boyfriend, and the other is her good friend and roommate, Xiao Muxue suddenly felt aggrieved and cold.
I also knew that the reason why she was isolated was Ning Yuan's idea, and she had some contradictions with Ning Yuan along the way, Xiao Muxue deeply felt that it was a mistake to travel with Ning Yuan!
Xiao Muxue wanted to cry a little, a cup of milk tea suddenly appeared in front of her, she looked up suddenly, and saw Lin Ran stretching out her hand towards her.
"For me?"
Lin Ran raised her hand, Xiao Muxue slowly reached out and took it, "Thank you." ”
Although it is only a cup of instant milk tea, it seems that the mood at this time is not as depressed and sad as just now.
"Thank you for coming with me, otherwise I wouldn't know what to do...... This is the first time I've encountered anything like this. ”
Lin Ran smiled, leaned against the wall like her, and said nonchalantly, "There's nothing to thank. ”
These people were originally her target, even if Xiao Muxue didn't invite her, she would follow.
Xiao Muxue asked, "Little sister, I don't quite understand why this happened. ”
"Because this is Silverwire."
Xiao Muxue was still puzzled, and Lin Ran asked her: "Do you believe that there are demons and monsters in this world?" ”
Xiao Muxue instinctively wanted to shake her head, she didn't believe this, but when she thought of the ant colony she saw before, she felt that it didn't seem right, and asked in a low voice, "Could it be that there really is?" I always thought it was all scribbled. ”
Lin Ran smiled, "It doesn't matter if you believe it or not, as long as you sit upright, you don't have to worry about these things coming to your door on weekdays." Silver Silk Town is a good place, where the mountains and rivers are beautiful, the people are outstanding, even the animals and ants that grow here are somewhat spiritual. ”
"You're not going to say that those ants are really sperm, are you?" Xiao Muxue's eyes widened, and she only felt ridiculous.
"They don't have spirits, but that doesn't mean there are no spirits in this world." Lin Ran smiled slightly: "Silver Silk Town, a hundred years ago, still believed in the 'mountain god', the 'mountain god' blessed a side of the water and soil, and blessed the people in this town, even if everyone doesn't believe in this much now, but it still exists." ”
"I think it must be that your friends must have done something bad to anger this 'mountain god'."
This statement was a little difficult for Xiao Muxue to accept, just like when she heard Lin Ran say that she was an exorcist, that feeling was really a little delicate.
Seeing that Xiao Muxue didn't believe it, Lin Ran didn't talk about it, just like what happened in the Luo family's old mansion, this ant clan riot was of course due to the good deeds done by these guys, but in fact, most of it was also instigated by this "mountain god".
Maybe when the day dawns, she will have to meet the "mountain god" of Silversilk Town.
Ning Yuan, Shen Hao, and Han Mengmeng were already in a much better condition after the infusion, and they were basically able to walk around on the ground, Xiao Muxue was also slightly relieved when she saw this, but no matter how she asked, these three people unanimously refused to say what they were going to do in the early hours of the morning.
Xiao Muxue was also angry, and didn't want to pay attention to these people, but Ning Yuan asked her to hurry back to the hotel to pack her things, and they left this ghost place immediately.
Originally, they also said that they would take the bus back to school this afternoon, but now that they are like this, Xiao Muxue is a little puzzled: "Your situation, let's observe in the hospital for a few more days, you can't even walk the road, why are you in a hurry to go back, I haven't seen you in such a hurry when I finish the set." ”
Ning Yuan patted the bed, "If you want to go, go quickly, what a broken place in Yinsi Town, can the medical level here catch up with the big city, let's go back for treatment if you are sick, I don't want to delay in this broken place, now you can go neatly, you hurry back to the hotel and check out, and then help me and Haozi pack up our things, and we will leave in the afternoon." ”
Xiao Muxue wanted to throw her face and leave, but she didn't bother to say anything about them like this, so she took the room card and went back to the hotel in the town.
But when she arrived at the hotel, she hadn't even returned to her room to pack her things when she saw a uniformed policeman talking to the waiter at the front desk.
"Are you sure you left during this time?"
"Surveillance shows that they did leave during this time, and then hurried back to the hotel, with their footprints on the ground...... In the wee hours of the morning, the ambulance also came, and all three went to the hospital. ”
Xiao Muxue overheard this part of the conversation, and her steps were sudden, she left the hotel last night and was taken to the hospital by ambulance, it seems that there are only a few of them......
Are these policemen here for them?
How come, what did they do?
Xiao Muxue's heart went up and down, and the waiter at the front desk immediately said when he saw her: "Eh, it's her, she's together." ”
Hearing this, the policeman walked over to her, "This lady, we are investigating a case, please cooperate." ”
Ning Yuan and the three of them were waiting a little anxiously in the hospital, and Shen Hao asked him a little worriedly, "It's dawn, there won't be an accident, right?" ”
Ning Yuan glared at him, "It's all right, are you bothered?" When Xiao Muxue comes back, we can be discharged from the hospital and go back to school, the emperor is far away, who the hell still suspects us? ”
Shen Hao was still a little uneasy, and complained in a low voice, "It's all your bad idea, which has caused us to be like this now." ”
Ning Yuan's face turned cold, "Shen Hao, are you talking about these things interestingly now?" If you don't agree to last night's event, can I still pull you there? What's in it here? If there is something, none of us can escape! ”
Han Mengmeng had been sitting on the bed in silence, and when she heard this, she glanced at him, and then silently looked away.
It didn't take long for Xiao Muxue to come back, but there were a few policemen who came with her, and the faces of several people changed at the same time, and the policeman took out his documents to them, "We are investigating a case of destroying private finances, and we are troublesome to cooperate." ”
……
Lin Ran went to the market to buy a live chicken, carried it up Fangshan, came to the place of the ancestral grave of the Luo family, put the chicken on the mountain, the chicken lost its restraints, and immediately ran wild on the mountain, and unconsciously ran behind Luo Yuchun's grave.
There was a hole in the back of the grave, Lin Ran came yesterday, but found nothing, before going up the mountain today, she asked the system to scan it to make sure that there were signs of life in the hole, so she bought chickens and came up.
Lin Ran crossed his arms and leaned against a tree, in the wilderness, the chicken was simply the biggest target, and after a while, he saw a black shadow rushing out of the hole, biting the whole chicken and swallowing it in one gulp.
Lin Ran saw clearly that the black shadow was actually a leprosy snake, much thicker than ordinary snakes, but also much more flexible.
Lin Ran sighed twice, "Poor child, are you hungry?" ”
The leper snake was stunned, and quickly rushed back to the cave, Lin Ran walked to the cave and sighed, "I saw you, what are you hiding?" Come out! ”
She waited a few minutes before a head slowly poked out of the hole, but it was not the usual snake head, and there were two strange horns on this head.
"Huh!"
Lin Ran was a little surprised, and suddenly had a feeling that this was really the case, "No wonder, it turns out that you are the head Jiao?" ”
She squatted down and clapped her hands, looked at the Jiao who retracted into the hole and said, "You have already accepted my meeting gift, why don't you come out and talk to me properly?" ”
Jiao hesitated for a long time, leaned out half of his body from the hole, and hissed his tongue at Lin Ran, "I can understand what you are saying." ”
There was a bit of confusion in his tone.
Lin Ran once again felt that this 500-point language exchange was quite cost-effective, just like now, she could talk to this Jiao fluently.
"I can understand you, too." Lin Ran smiled at it, "If you're not mistaken, you should be this mountain god in Silversilk Town." ”
