Chapter 250: The Incident (Second Update)
At this moment, I want to tell him that if I don't, I'll die too. But because of the biting sensation of the insect on my body, it hurt so much that I couldn't say half a word, so I could only hold my body and keep rolling on the ground, screaming in pain.
At that moment, a few drops of cold rain fell on my face, merging with the sweat from the pain on my face. With a thunderclap, the rain poured down, and my feet kept on my face, washing away all the smelly liquid.
I lay on the muddy ground, holding my aching body, with only one thought in my heart, "Am I going to die like this?!" ”
was in despair, when I heard the sound of "pop, pop" from the side. As the sound got closer, I faintly saw an old woman in straw sandals and a cloth robe, holding a cane in front of me.
"I can feel it, young man, you're a good person. Don't worry, I'll save you......" I looked up, and at this moment, a lightning bolt swept through the sky, illuminating the old woman's face, and at this moment, I saw that she was bowing her head and smiling kindly at me. Then I lost consciousness due to the pain and passed out......
……
I don't know how long it took, but I slowly opened my eyes, looked at the somewhat dilapidated beams in front of me, and then wanted to get up. I was about to move, but I found that my body was covered with thick gauze, and as long as I moved slightly, my whole body was like a pinprick in pain.
"I, where am I......" I slowly turned my head to look around, and I found myself lying in a small thatched hut that was somewhat shabby, and some of the tables, chairs and benches around me were made of dead wood and dry wood. At this point, I was lying on a bed with a pile of rocks and a large amount of hay behind me.
At this moment, I walked in from outside the house and thought that the old woman, because the sun was shining outside the house at this time, in the backlight, I still couldn't see her face clearly, but I could vaguely tell from the figure that she seemed to be the old woman that night.
When she saw me wake up, she walked up to me on crutches and said, "You're awake......"
Hearing this, I responded, "Well, dare to ask you ......"
"It doesn't matter who I am...... said the old woman kindly, "the important thing is that you did a great deed that night, and got rid of a wicked man." ”
"We?!" I said to myself, and then I remembered that there was still Yaolong, so I hurriedly asked, "Then you haven't seen my friend, where is he now?!" How is he?! "I looked a little anxious.
The old woman smiled and replied, "Don't worry, he's all right." Speaking of which, I've already saved your friend twice. ”
"Twice?" I was confused and asked, "What the hell is going on, who are you, can you tell me what happened, so that I can understand the reason for this?" ”
After hearing this, the old woman smiled and turned around and picked up a broken porcelain bowl from the dead wooden table beside her, handed it to me, and said, "Come, you drink this first, and I will tell you slowly......
Seeing this, I endured the pain and got up, took the bowl in the old woman's hand and looked at it, only to see that there was some black liquid in the bowl, and the stumps of these insects were floating on the surface. When I saw those stumps, my scalp tingled, and my hand holding the bowl trembled slightly, and I almost dropped the bowl to the ground.
"This, this ......" I looked at the bowl of black "soup" in front of me and couldn't help but feel a little worried. After all, after all these things, even if you are not afraid of insects, you will try to stay away from these things.
"Don't be afraid, I won't hurt you, if I really want to hurt you, I can do it as early as the two days you are asleep, and if you can't do it, you have to wait for you to wake up, drink." I looked at the old woman's kind expression, and I didn't feel any harm, but I even felt a trace of warmth in my heart.
Seeing this, I turned my heart sideways, and secretly said, "Die, die......" I pinched my nose and drank the "soup" in the bowl with a raise of my neck.
I handed the empty bowl to the old woman and said, "All right, now you can tell me what's going on......
The old woman nodded, put the empty bowl back on the table, and said, "Actually, the person you killed that night was a traitor to this Miao village in the past, she was bent on refining the Gu King, and she wanted me to ask for a secret recipe many times, but I refused, mainly because of her improper mental skills. ”
"But she didn't give up, and after asking for it to no avail, she colluded with those smuggling robbers, and used some Gu techniques she knew to control those robbers and some villagers, hoping to blackmail me into handing over the Gu King. But I know that with her character, even if I hand over the Gu King, she will not give up, and may even cause more people to die because of this. ”
So, out of desperation, I had to hide alone. When she saw that she could not find me, she repeatedly ordered the robbers to go into the mountains to look for me, and even crossed the border many times to look for traces in other countries, for which she also clashed with some inhabitants of other countries, and killed many of their family members, causing them to come to the door to seek revenge......"
Hearing this, I realized that it turned out that the two stowaways that Yaolong and I met in Sanjian before were actually not real stowaways, but wanted to seek revenge. As for the disappearance of the people in the village who were said by the village chief and others before, they may have been killed by those revenge seekers.
Thinking about it, I asked a little puzzled: "Then you have saved Yaolong twice, what is going on?" The old woman touched her cane and said, "That was ten years ago......
"At that time, the village was inhabited by some people who used Miao Gu, although everyone belonged to the same black seedling, but because they were tired of doing those things that made money and killed people, in order to escape, they lived in seclusion in the deep mountains. Later, I found out that there were people in the village who were plotting against each other and still wanted to seek the best Gu art, so I took an opportunity to use this Gu art on your friend, hoping to pass on this Gu art. ”
"But at that time, because the situation was really inconvenient to disclose, and the Gu King's refining was very cruel, I didn't tell your friend directly. But I know he'll get it back one day......"
As she spoke, the old woman suddenly coughed violently, and she turned to the side and covered her mouth with her hand, trying to relieve the cough. But at this moment, I was surprised to find that there was a black and purple patch on the old woman's accidentally exposed arm, which was very similar to the scene when Yaolong was poisoned.
"You, are you alright?!" Looking at the black and purple spot on her hand, she asked with concern.
"I'm fine......," she said, hurriedly pulling down her sleeve to cover her hands and revealing purple spots. At this moment, her face no longer had the kind expression just now, but looked a little strange......
