Chapter 41: The Old Man Comes
Time flies, like a white horse passing through a gap, three years have passed in a flash, and it is the college promotion season in a blink of an eye, and this day is the day when Ding Xiaocong took the college entrance examination.
The family got up early, Ding Jiazhu packed up the exam utensils, Gao Qun and Jiang Bai prepared breakfast for Ding Xiaocong in the kitchen, as for the protagonist Ding Xiaocong...... He was responsible for lying on the couch and watching others go about their work.
In the past three years, life has been dull and comfortable, everything is good for the Ding family, the mortgage has been repaid, and before the exam, they moved back to their own home.
Jiang Bai is still there and has become a member of the family, and in the past three years, her parents have not appeared again, and she basically does not mention it, living a dull life. Regarding why her surname is Jiang, Ding Xiaocong also asked, but she smiled and didn't answer, and Ding Xiaocong had to give up.
Leaning slightly, a bowl of hot dumplings was brought to him, and Ding Xiaocong grabbed his chopsticks and started eating.
"It's a little light." Ding Xiaocong took a bite and muttered, and Ding Jiazhu hurriedly brought a bottle of salt and added it to the bowl.
Ding Jiazhu's hand slipped, one didn't grasp it steadily, and the salt bottle fell, Ding Xiaocong was startled, and exclaimed loudly, it was too late to pick it up.
Just as the salt bottle was about to hit the ground, a hand reached over like lightning, grabbed the bottle, and put it back on the table, and Ding Xiaocong breathed a sigh of relief.
Ding Jiazhu looked back and saw that it was Jiang Bai who caught the bottle, and he was stunned, he pointed to the kitchen, and then pointed to Jiang Bai, and asked suspiciously: "Didn't I see that you were still in the kitchen just now?" How did you ...... so quickly?"
"Are you mistaken?" Jiang Bai smiled slightly, glanced at Ding Xiaocong, turned around and walked back to the kitchen.
Only Ding Xiaocong saw it clearly just now, the moment the salt bottle missed, Jiang Bai stepped out in two arrow steps, and the action was faster than the falling salt bottle. He is the only one in this family who knows that Jiang Bai is actually a mountain witch with extraordinary skills, as for how powerful it is, it is not clear.
Each of the five types of witchcraft has its own abilities, among which the mountain witch is the most powerful and can also communicate with the mountains and the earth.
"It's just a bottle of salt, and if you fall, you will fall, and you will be shocked." Gao Qun complained in the kitchen, she didn't understand how the two children could be so nervous about a bottle of salt.
In fact, this is a witch tradition, and salt is especially cherished.
In ancient times, Wu Xian made edible salt by steaming brine, and after having salt, human beings finally did not need to drink blood to replenish electrolytes, and gradually got out of the primitive state. It is also from this starting point that human beings began to study the principles of nature and the way of change, which is the origin of witchcraft, so to speak, salt is the symbol of witchcraft, and it is also the origin of Chinese civilization. Later generations called these people with special abilities "witches".
Looking at the time, it was still early, Ding Xiaocong continued to eat dumplings while watching his family busy.
Now Ding Xiaocong's grades are not much worse than before, and it is difficult to explain in general, and his family has not set him any goals, just take the test hard, but he really can't go to a junior college. Ding Jiazhu and Gao Qun are both beginners in Chinese, one graduates, the other drops, how much can Ding Xiaocong be expected to achieve?
In short, the college entrance examination is no pressure on Ding Xiaocong.
Finally finished eating the dumplings, Ding Xiaocong touched his belly, Gao Qun wiped his hands with an apron and came out of the kitchen, and the family packed up and prepared to send him to the college entrance examination, at this moment, there was a "boom" outside, and someone slammed on the door.
The big guy doesn't know why, there are few people in the family who come to the door, why do people come at this point?
As soon as Gao Qun opened the door, a tall man collapsed and fell in, lying on the ground motionless, startling the people in the house, what was going on?
Gao Qun was frightened, and subconsciously retreated, Ding Jiazhu walked up and lifted the person into his back facing the sky, after seeing this person's face, Ding Xiaocong was taken aback, "The sea!" ”
No one expected that the person who fell in when Ding Xiaocong was about to take the college entrance examination would be Luo Dahai, who had been missing for almost three years.
After three years, Luo Dahai has matured a lot, the 19-year-old man has a scruffy beard, and his height has grown to more than 1.80 meters, and he is as burly as a bear - a dead bear.
Luo Dahai was lying on his back on the ground, his eyes were closed, and a mouthful of white foam came out of the corner of his mouth, and his state was obviously wrong. Ding Xiaocong walked over to check it slightly, and immediately found that it was not good, turned the person over again, and ripped off the clothes on his back.
Luo Dahai's back was exposed, and Gao Qun immediately exclaimed in surprise, shrunk behind Ding Jiazhu, trembling with fright. I saw a dense purple rash on the back, which looked like the skin of a toad, terrifying and disgusting, and made people's scalps numb.
"It's corpse poison!" Jiang Bai walked over and squatted down, and when he saw this symptom, he was also taken aback.
Ding Xiaocong nodded, his face became ugly, Luo Dahai is not dead yet, but what did he do? actually provoked such a serious corpse poison. He can cure the corpse poison, but ......
There was no time to hesitate, Ding Xiaocong turned back to his parents and said with difficulty: "Dad, Mom, I'm afraid I won't be able to take the college entrance examination." ”
"Why?" Gao Qun was taken aback, then reacted and looked at Luo Dahai, who didn't know life and death, "He ...... the sea"
"I can save him." Ding Xiaocong made up his mind and said categorically: "But if you want to save him, you will definitely not be able to catch the college entrance examination, people's lives are at stake, and the sea is my brother again." ”
Ding Xiaocong didn't explain further, in fact, there was another reason, three years ago, because of his own business, Luo Dahai gave up the high school entrance examination, and he has always felt guilty for this matter.
"Help me cook a pot of sticky rice." Ding Xiaocong told Jiang Bai, Jiang Bai immediately said "um", and quickly went back to the kitchen to cook glutinous rice.
"Get to the hospital!" Ding Jiazhu was also anxious and shouted.
Ding Xiaocong set up Luo Dahai and shook his head, "He can't be saved by the hospital, and it's too late to say it, I'm afraid that people will die halfway through." ”
After Ding Xiaocong finished speaking, he immediately turned around and shouted into the room, "Sister! ”
Leaning slightly, my sister Xiaolan swam over quickly.
Luo Dahai is not only his body, but even his soul is infected with corpse poison, and this can only be dealt with by Xiaolan. She is a worm who can get rid of all toxins, including those in the soul.
"Bite his soul out." Ding Xiaocong straightened Luo Dahai's head and commanded, Xiaolan immediately opened her mouth and bit Luo Dahai's eyebrows.
The center of the eyebrows is the entrance and exit to the soul, and Luo Dahai is already unconscious, and if he bites down this bite, his soul is immediately swallowed by Xiaolan. Losing his soul, Luo Dahai entered a state of suspended animation, completely unconscious, and even his heartbeat stopped.
Seeing that Luo Dahai was bitten by Xiaolan, his body twitched twice, and he was angry, Gao Qun was so frightened that she couldn't help but retreat, she thought that someone was killed.
In fact, it is indeed a human life, and the current Luo Dahai is actually equivalent to a dead man, but his soul is preserved in Xiaolan's body and will not lose its vitality for a short time.
The next step is salvage.
Luo Dahai was poisoned very deeply, it is estimated that he will not be able to hold on to the door of Ding Xiaocong's house, if he is allowed to develop, he will definitely not survive for half an hour. As for now, the time has not been extended, and Ding Xiaocong must complete it in half an hour, otherwise, even if the poison on his body is detoxified, his soul will begin to dissipate※, and he will become a yin ghost, and he will never be able to go back.
Next, Ding Xiaocong began to fiddle with the "corpse", he arched Luo Dahai's legs backwards, and stretched his neck as much as possible, this is to make his airways and digestive tracts unobstructed.
"Is the sticky rice ready?" After Ding Xiaocong fiddled with the corpse, he drank loudly into the kitchen.
"Not yet, let's use glutinous rice first." Jiang Bai's voice came from the kitchen, and then a bag of glutinous rice flew out.
Ding Xiaocong didn't say a word, picked up a handful of rice and pressed it on the rash behind Luo Dahai, and began to rub it hard, as soon as the rice was pasted, it immediately darkened, and as the color of the friction became darker and darker, this was the effect of the corpse poison being absorbed by the rice.
Looking at the glutinous rice that turned black in a blink of an eye, Ding Jiazhu was dumbfounded, "What are you doing here, shallot?" Where did you learn it? ”
