Chapter 58: Corpse Poison Introduction
"Then you mean this corpse is the fourth of the year?"
After some discussion, I felt a little awkward, so I shifted Hu Qi's attention to the dead body. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
"Well, Shunsi's physical characteristics are similar to this person's, but I can't identify it at all; So, I need your help! ”
Hu Qi is also refreshing, after some conversation, there is no trace of contempt for me and Lin Zi in his words; On the contrary, there was a feeling of wanting to win me over to join the forest, which made me face it squarely.
"Actually, it's not a big deal, I just want you two to keep an eye out for some time in the near future about any strangers or news about the map of the ancient tombs; If I do find anything, I'll spend a lot of money on it! ”。
Hu Qi saw that I looked at Lin Zi and didn't answer his words, but he was a little embarrassed; In fact, according to Lin Zi's thoughts, we can't just agree until we don't know what he wants us to help; After all, the tomb robbers and their party are doing things that can't be revealed, and in case of the East Window incident, Lin Zi and I will naturally be implicated because of this.
"Okay! No problem! ”
I ended this topic with one sentence, not because of Hu Qi's heavy promise, but because this matter can be a relationship between doing something and not doing something, and there are no limitations; And for now, Hu Qi is still a good person, so I will open my mouth to agree, and Lin Zi naturally has no opinion.
There were no too many polite words, and it was already about ten o'clock in the evening; After Hu Qi exchanged contact information with Lin Zi, he said goodbye and then left, without any mud and water between the clouds and water, it was completely a military style. At this time, the City God Temple has become no longer so bleak and gloomy because of the acquaintance between the three of us, and I am out of the door with Lin Zi and Hu Qi; While walking, I accidentally glanced at Hu Qi and saw a three-edged military thorn pinned to the side of Hu Qi's right leg, and I couldn't help but be a little afraid of my previous arrogance!
"Oh, that's right! Dude, you have a wide range of roads there, do you know anyone who collects antiques? ”
When I got to the avenue and parted, I suddenly remembered that the jade pillow brought out of the tomb was still lying quietly in my family's closet at this time, and there was no way to sell it; Therefore, he asked Hu Qi casually, one was looking for a buyer for the jade pillow, and the other was to test whether Hu Qi was a straightforward person who valued affection as he showed.
And his answer is also very simple, if there is any treasure to contact him in the town at that time, he will definitely give us a satisfactory price.
Watching Hu Qi's straight and vigorous figure slowly disappear into the night, I can't help but have some expectations for his true nature; On the surface, his nature is the same as Xinghuayan, he is an out-and-out person who values love and righteousness; It's just that I've been mixed in society for a long time, and I will have a just right limit for all the people I befriend, lest one day someone stab me in the back without knowing it!
When I got home, my grandmother had already fallen asleep, and what was waiting for me was not the feather duster and punishment of kneeling; It seems that my performance after returning home has successfully made my grandmother let go of the burden in her heart and no longer worry about me; In fact, what has always touched my heart is that my grandmother has never asked me what I am doing when I was a child, and she only repeats one sentence to me at any time: "The good man of the Zhang family will not be a bad seed!" And it is this sentence that has created my current character, that is, I never bow my head when encountering difficulties!
I had nothing to do for several days, except for going out for a walk with the forest every day, and I stayed in the house to study the "Cave Pole Sutra" that my grandfather was famous for; However, it was Lin Zi who conveyed to me a message about the poison of his corpse; I didn't care about it before because Lin Zi told me that his old man had a way to remove the corpse poison, so I didn't ask.
It turned out that the day after I returned home with Lin Zi and Da Kui, the abnormality on Lin Zi's body was discovered by their old man; Lin Zi soaked in glutinous rice baths every day in the past few days to get rid of the corpse poison, who knew that yesterday afternoon, the old man suddenly said that taking a glutinous rice bath could not remove the roots, and he also needed a medicine to induce "corpse suffocating blood".
Lin Zi panicked when he heard this, and scolded his old man; Originally, the old man was going to go to the tomb by himself, but when he was scolded by Lin Zi like this, he was almost so angry that he turned his back on him, and he actually played a stubborn donkey temper, and he didn't care about Lin Zi's life or death.
After listening to Lin Zi's complaints, I suddenly had the urge to slap him in my heart; Although the old man does not have the grace of childbirth, he has the love of nurturing! This goods passed through the tomb and the line, and they were so unreasonable, and their attitude towards the old man was really speechless.
In order to find the corpse and hold back the blood, I have already contacted Hu Qi, but unfortunately there are a lot of this kind of thing in the tomb, and no one takes it seriously at all, so there will be no one who has nothing to do and go to the tomb to catch a corpse and hold it out.
It had been ten days since we left the tomb, Lin Zi had already spent five days in the tomb, and five days had spent five days at home to remove the poison every day; According to the period of the elixir mentioned by Xinghuayan, we still have twenty days to find the corpse and hold back the blood. Twenty days is not long or short, but it really makes me a little anxious.
As for the things that Hu Qi explained, Lin Zi and I have also paid attention to them in the past two days, although there are so many people who have appeared in the village in the past few days, but I asked Lin Ziyi whether this person is either a relative of this family who came to the province or a friend of the family who came to visit the door, and it is not a person like ten four dogs and five at all.
"Hey! Brother Tian, look at that person, isn't he very face-saving? ”
On this day, I was wandering around the village with Lin Zi, chatting and burping, looking for a way to get the corpse to hold blood; Suddenly, a thin figure appeared on the loess road in the distance, looking like a thin and skinny face with yellow muscles, walking towards our village; The sharp-eyed Lin Zi immediately realized that he did not belong to the people of our village, so he said to me in surprise, and his eyes shone brightly, as if to say that this guy is the Shun Si we are looking for.
"Hey! October Fourth! ”
"Grass your sister, you are looking for death!"
Lin Zi and I began the unique method of identifying Shunsi that we had created, and staged a war of words at the entrance of the village, but the afterglow in our eyes and the attention of our whole body were all on the stranger who was about to pass by!
Strange as it may seem, this scrawny stranger heard me shout, and immediately froze in place like a frightened monkey, and turned his gaze to us; However, Lin Zi immediately picked up a sentence of seeking death, which immediately dispelled his concerns, and I saw him wipe the sweat on his forehead, looked at me and Lin Zi with disgust, and then entered the village!
