"Dead?!" I thought that if I found the blood farmer, I might be able to know how to rescue Hao Yang, but now that I was told that the person who might be the blood farmer was dead, my heart suddenly cooled.

"Yes, it's ...... dead," the old man replied affirmatively, and at this time he still lowered his head, as if he didn't notice Hao Yang's abnormality at all.

At this time, several bright red shoots had grown on Hao Yang's exposed arm, and his body was sitting motionless, like an empty shell that had lost its soul.

At this time, Li Zhisheng was also a little unable to sit still, he stood up and looked at Hao Yang uneasily and asked the old man: "Uncle, do you know who may be a blood farmer?" ”

Hearing this, the old man was a little puzzled, and he didn't know why Li Zhisheng would ask such a question. He slowly raised his head and found Hao Yang sitting there like a vegetative person, then he was also a little panicked, hurriedly got up and walked to Hao Yang's side, and asked me while checking Hao Yang's situation, "When did he become like this?!" ”

Seeing that the old man seemed to know what way to save Hao Yang, I hurriedly replied, "In the early hours of yesterday morning! ”

Hearing that, the old man didn't say a word, picked up Hao Yang and walked quickly to the back room, Li Zhisheng and I glanced at each other, I was secretly glad that it seemed to be saved. So he followed the old man into the back room.

After entering the house, the old man went straight to the bed and put Hao Yang, who was covered in mud, on the bed, but at this time, the middle-aged woman was not seen in the room.

"Come ......here, old woman," cried the old man.

After a while, the middle-aged woman opened the curtain, her eyes were a little red and swollen, and she asked in a slightly hoarse voice, "What's wrong?" ”

"Do you have any herbs for pulling weeds at home? Find me......" The old man urged anxiously.

"Yes, I'll go get it!" With that, the middle-aged woman walked briskly out of the bedroom. After a short time, she came back from the house with a dustpan containing some yellow-green leaves, which were not large and only a quarter the size of the palm of her hand.

"Here." As she spoke, the middle-aged woman handed the dustpan to the old man, who took the dustpan and selected a few leaves from it and stacked them in the palm of his hand, and then kept crushing the leaves with the thumb of his other hand.

As he crushed, some yellow liquid flowed out of the leaves. Then the old man turned back to us and said, "Come and do him a favor and break his mouth." ”

I hurriedly stepped forward and pinched Hao Yang's mouth to open it, but since he was like a dead man at this time, his body was probably already stiff. Seeing this, I had to grab his maxilla with one hand and his chin with the other, and forcefully pull his mouth apart.

At this time, the old man hurriedly took the opportunity to pour the yellow juice oozing from the leaves in his hand into Hao Yang's mouth. After that, he breathed a sigh of relief, clapped his hands, and tossed the crushed leaf residues aside.

"Is that all there is to it?!" I looked at Hao Yang, who was still motionless in front of me, and asked the old man.

"He won't be in danger for the time being, at least he can survive tonight, but if he doesn't find the real antidote as soon as possible, I'm afraid even the gods won't be able to save him."

"The antidote? Didn't you just give him an antidote? ”

"No, the medicine just now only saved his life temporarily, and now the seed has been planted in his body. In other words, he has now become the seed of a blood farmer......" The old man sighed as he took out a cigarette and put it to his lips again.

"Will this child be the same ...... as our child?" said the woman in the middle, silently shedding tears. Seeing this, the old man hurriedly stepped forward to help the middle-aged woman, and he turned back to us as he walked out, and said, "That's all I can help your friend, and whether you can find the antidote depends on your own creation...... After that, he left the house, and he didn't know where he went with the middle-aged woman.

Li Zhisheng and I stayed in the house, and by this time we had a general understanding of the whole thing, and it seemed that the couple's son was planted because of the so-called seeds, and they could not find an antidote, which led to the loss of the son.

"Do you have any good ideas?" Li Zhisheng looked at Hao Yang who was lying on the bed and asked with a sad face.

"Now it's not a question of whether there is a way, but how to find a way." With that, I sat down and wanted to smoke a cigarette to relieve my emotions. But it was only then that I remembered that our clothes had fallen into the cave where we had fallen during the flash flood, not to mention the smoke, and even the lighter had been lost.

At this moment, I suddenly remembered something, and hurriedly pulled Li Zhisheng to my side, saying, "I think we were misled by the story just now, do you still remember the story I told you after I went home before?" ”

Li Zhisheng suddenly realized: "Are you saying that the blood farmer is actually not in this village, but in the next village?!" ”

"If I'm not mistaken, it should be so, because this old man's wife told me before that the rumors she heard were all from the next village."

"Since there is a direction, the problem will be easy to handle......" As he spoke, Li Zhisheng looked at Hao Yang who was lying down, at this time his complexion had improved, the red branches and buds on his arms were no longer growing, and the small red leaves were slowly peeling off.

Seeing that Hao Yang would not be in danger for the time being, Li Zhisheng continued: "Then let's go now?" ”

I was tempted to leave now, but since we didn't know the location of the village next door, we had to turn to the old man again for help.

"Uncle? Are you still there, uncle? I shouted a few times to the door, and when I saw that no one responded, I planned to get up and go out to look for it alone, leaving Li Zhisheng to stay in the house and watch Hao Yang.

As soon as I opened the curtain, the smell of the food came back to my nose, and my stomach screamed. Still, I don't have the heart to bother with any of this now, but I am bent on finding the old man and asking for the location of the next village.

But I found the living room from the bedroom, and then the kitchen from the living room, and there was no sign of the old man or the middle-aged woman, except for a pot of bubbling food on the stove.

"Strange, where did they go?" I stood in the doorway of my bedroom and muttered to myself. At this time, Li Zhisheng saw that I hadn't come back for a long time, so he wanted to go out and have a look.

When he came out, he saw me standing in the doorway, and when he saw that I was puzzled, he asked, "Why are you here, and you haven't found anyone?" ”

I looked at him and replied, "Well, they seem to have gone out, there are only three rooms in this house, and I didn't see anyone back and forth, so I guess they went out......"

At that moment, I heard a low sobbing sound in my ears, and although it was a little small, I could still hear it clearly......
