"What's that?!" Yaolong pointed to the human hand in the corner not far away, and said, It seems that he and I found that hand at the same time.

"Let's go see ......first," I said, carefully moving forward. As the fire in my hand approached, the owner of the hand in the corner slowly appeared.

I saw the man lying face down on the ground in the light, dressed in cloth and full of silver hair. Seeing this, I immediately recognized the man, and hurriedly rushed forward and shouted, "Old woman, what's wrong with you?!" ”

As I spoke, I slowly turned the old woman's body over, and as soon as I turned around, I saw the corpses of several poisonous insects pressed under her, which seemed to be dead.

I stretched out two fingers and probed her snort, and when I saw that she was still breathing, I hurriedly said to Yaolong, "Quick, let's carry her out first." ”

As I spoke, I handed the lighter in my hand to Yaolong and asked him to illuminate it, while I carried the old woman on my back and rushed out of the cellar to the room where I slept with Yaolong before.

Immediately, I laid her flat on the stone bed, looked closely, and saw that there were no obvious injuries on her body, and her clothes were not damaged, so I knew that she did not become like this because she had been attacked.

"What happened to you in that cellar last night?" Yaolong stood aside and asked puzzled.

When I heard this, I told him everything the old woman had said to me last night, and what he had said when he was unconscious.

After hearing this, Yaolong took a few steps back in surprise, looked at the unconscious old woman in front of him, and said incredulously: "It turns out that all this is her ......"

Seeing this, I thought that Yao Long would be angry because the old woman implanted the Gu King into him, but unexpectedly, instead of being angry, he asked with some concern, "Then how is she now?" ”

Although Yaolong's performance was beyond my expectations, it was still reasonable, and when I heard this, I frowned and said worriedly: "I don't know, after all, we don't know anything about Gu arts, plus this is a mountainous area, there is a lack of medical treatment, and it is difficult to treat her." ”

After hearing this, Yaolong and I sighed in unison, my heart was full of anxiety and despair, looking at the old woman in front of me who had helped us, now she was in danger, and we couldn't do anything, this feeling of powerlessness was very uncomfortable.

Just as we were frustrated, a few coughs suddenly came from the old woman's mouth. After hearing this, I hurriedly stepped forward, only to see her slowly open her eyes, see us beside her, open her mouth with difficulty, and whispered: "You don't have to save me, I am a damned person...... Let me die like this. ”

As she spoke, the old woman coughed a few more times, and her expression on her face was twisted, looking extremely painful.

"Don't talk yet, rest first......" Then I turned around like I had gone out to get some water for the old woman. But Yaolong on the side seemed to sense my intentions, he said, "I went out to wash my face just now, I know where to get water, I'll go......"

Seeing this, I had no choice but to go back to the bed again, looking at the old woman on the bed who was dying, and my heart felt like I had knocked over a five-flavor bottle, and I had mixed feelings. "Young man, I know you are good people, you really don't have to do anything for me......" she said slowly, "I am to blame for all this, and I almost killed you because of the Gu King." You haven't blamed me for that, and I'm already grateful......"

Listening, I said, "There is an old saying that 'a virgin is not as good as an old prostitute', although you have done a lot of bad things, but now you are a good person, and I believe that you will use your Gu magic to help more people, so I don't want you to die." ”

After hearing this, the old woman smiled and said, "Although your analogy is very appropriate, why does it always sound strange to me......

At this moment, I immediately came to my senses, hurriedly slapped myself in the face, and said with a smile: "It's me who is not good, it's that I can't speak......"

As she was talking, Yaolong walked in from outside the house with a bowl of water, she was stunned when she saw this scene, and then walked over and looked at me in surprise and said, "Shen Xu, what are you doing here?" ”

I hurriedly coughed twice, put my hand down, and said, "Cough, cough~ nothing, there are mosquitoes, I'll pat it." ”

"What mosquito......es are there," said Yaolong, and gave the bowl of water in his hand to the old woman, and slowly helped her up, saying, "Come, old woman, you can drink some water first......

The old woman took Yaolong's hand holding the bowl with a trembling and shriveled hand and said, "Thank you, thank you so much...... as she leaned her mouth closer to the bowl. But just as she touched the bowl, she suddenly coughed violently, and then a stream of blood gushed out of her mouth, staining the clear mountain spring water in the bowl red.

"Old woman, don't worry, take a good rest first......," I said, hurriedly taking the bowl from Yaolong's hand and placing it on the table beside me.

Yaolong, on the other hand, put the old woman down again with a sad face, and said worriedly, "Did I hurt you?" ”

At this moment, the old woman was lying flat on the bed, looking at Yaolong angrily and said, "No matter what happens to you, it's time for me to leave...... I don't know what you're doing, but you're all good people, and you're going to be able to turn evil into good fortune......"

As she spoke, she reached into the pocket of her jacket with a trembling hand, and took out a two-finger-sized wooden box with a wooden latch on it, as if pulling it open to open it.

"This is what I have always kept by my side for self-defense, I can still use it to ward off evil spirits by keeping it on my body, I hope it can help you......" said, before Yaolong took the box, the old man's eyes closed, and her raised arm also drooped.

Seeing this scene, for some reason, I felt a sour nose and a hot current gushed out of my eyes......

I stood behind Yaolong, I don't know what his expression was at this time, I could only see his shoulders trembling slightly......

For a long time, the two of them were silent in this dilapidated room, neither of them could speak, and they kept looking at the old woman who had saved our lives in front of them, and I still don't know her name.

I don't know how long later, the sun outside the house was particularly dazzling, I reached out and patted Yaolong's shoulder and said, "We can't just let her lie here and bury her......" Hearing this, Yaolong didn't speak, just nodded with touch.

After that, Yaolong and I found a clearing at the back of the hut and dug a pit. After burying the old woman, we found a wooden board as a tombstone, and engraved a few big characters on the tablet, "Tomb of the Gu King".
