Chapter 42: A Call for Help and the Red Scorpion Pill
I was too tired during the day, and I had to get up early tomorrow to go to Hakuba Village, so I had already slept in a daze by this time, but strangely, when there was a knock on the door, I seemed to realize it and woke up instantly. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
I opened the door, and to my surprise, it was Li Jingfeng.
Li Jingfeng saw that as soon as I opened the door, he went straight in, and then carefully closed the door in my stunnedness.
"What are you doing at such a late hour, you just detoxified the corpse during the day, you should have a good rest now." I frowned, looked at the sneaky Li Jingfeng and said.
"Uncle, please, marry my sister!"
Li Jing threw himself on his knees and pleaded with me.
“……”
I'm Cao, what's the situation? Again? And there's more.
Li Jingfeng saw that I was indifferent, and his face became more and more sad: "Uncle, please save her, otherwise, she will ...... Dead! ”
My eyes froze, and I picked him up from the ground: "What's the situation?" Why do you say that? Why do you say your sister will die? ”
Li Jingfeng opened his mouth to say something, but the words had obviously reached his mouth, but he suddenly hesitated, choked hard, and shook his head vigorously: "I can't say, I can't say!" ”
I grabbed his arms, looked at him, and said sharply, "This is about your sister's life, what else can't be said?" ”
Li Jingfeng's face changed, as if he was in extreme hesitation.
At this moment, a strange and piercing chirp suddenly came to mind outside the window, and the sharp sound was like a ghost crying and shouting outside the house.
As soon as he heard the strange sound outside the house, Li Jingfeng's face instantly became extremely ugly, as if his mother had died. Breaking free of my hands, I was about to rush out of the house.
Rushing to the door, Li Jingfeng suddenly turned his head: "Either marry my sister, or take my sister away, otherwise, my sister will really die!" ”
After speaking, before I could react, he suddenly opened the door and rushed out.
When I walked to the door, Li Jingfeng had disappeared without a trace, and in the darkness in the distance, black shadows were hovering, making a piercing chirping sound like crying.
This cry made me feel obviously uncomfortable and flustered, and after thinking about it, I didn't go out, I returned to the room, remembering what Li Jingfeng had just said, and couldn't sleep for a long time.
At six o'clock in the morning, when I opened the door, I found that Jiang Lai and Peng Jiahe had already woken up, Li Zhuer was serving breakfast, and Li Jingfeng was sitting on the table eating breakfast one bite at a time.
His expression didn't change at all, as if it was someone else, not him, who came to me last night.
However, the events of last night made me not treat him as an ordinary child, and when I looked closely, I found the anxiety and uneasiness in his eyes. Especially sometimes when his eyes swept over his sister Li Zhu'er, there was a kind of urgency in his eyes.
"Get up, wash up, have breakfast, the road to White Horse Village is a little difficult, if you want to get back before the evening, we have to leave early." When Li Zhu'er saw me open the door, her face turned red at first, and then she said a little shyly.
I nodded, stepped aside, and washed up.
At half past seven in the morning, everything was ready and we were ready to go.
Because Li Jingfeng was more familiar with that section of the road than his sister Li Zhuer, it was Li Jingfeng and his sister who took us to lead the way this time.
Considering the difficulty of the mountain road and some special circumstances, in addition to our own backpacks and weapons, we also brought local unique insect repellent powder, antidote, firewood knife, straw hat, rope and other things.
As we walked to the village, I glanced back at the village and frowned slightly.
From the morning to now, not only has no one in their village been seen, not even Li Zhu'er's grandmother has been seen, and looking at this village at this time, I found that the twilight in this village is even more serious, and even depressed, revealing a dead air.
Li Zhu'er didn't lie to us, the mountain road to White Horse Village is indeed difficult to walk.
Along the way, we not only need to guard against all kinds of poisonous insects and poisonous snakes, but also need to climb mountains and mountains.
There are a lot of poisonous insects in the mountain, and if you are not careful, you may be bitten by poisonous insects, although later we were coated with a special smell of herbs, so that some insects are slightly away from us, but this smell can not eliminate all insects, and we still need to be very careful when leaving.
Another point to note is that there are a lot of snakes in the mountain, and almost every other way, you will find some snakes, five-step snakes, bamboo leaf green, pit vipers, two-headed snakes, rattlesnake ...... As long as you can name the snake, you can see it in this place, and the most important thing is that the snake in this place is strangely large, and I even saw the largest one being four or five meters long and as thick as a bucket.
Li Zhu'er said that these snakes are already gods in this mountain.
Along the way, we walked in horror, if it weren't for the Gu poison, I wouldn't want to leave this place if we didn't kill me, it would be too sinful.
It is worth mentioning that Li Zhuer and Li Jingfeng are familiar with the environment here, it is like returning to their own home, even Li Jingfeng, a seven or eight-year-old child, walks faster than us.
At about ten o'clock in the morning, we were almost paralyzed from exhaustion, and at this time, Li Jingfeng and Li Zhu'er suddenly stopped.
"There's a white horse slope ahead."
A complicated look flashed in Li Zhu'er's eyes, and she said solemnly to us.
When we heard this, our faces immediately brightened, and we were finally about to reach our destination.
At this time, Li Zhu'er took out a small wooden bottle the size of a palm from her arms, opened the cap, poured out five small dark red pills from you, handed one to his younger brother, and handed one to us separately.
"This is the Red Scorpion Pill, it is specially used to close Gu Qi and Gu Poison, remember, it can only be held under the tongue, not bitten, nor swallowed, only when we go out of Baima Slope and return here, we can spit it out."
Li Zhu'er looked around at us and said solemnly, "Remember?" ”
We nodded solemnly, then threw the red scorpion balls into our mouths and held them under our tongues.
The red scorpion balls have a bitter and bitter taste under the tongue, as if I have a worm under the tongue, and after a while, I actually feel that my tongue is a little numb.
After walking less than a hundred meters, it instantly became empty, and a huge slope appeared.
What is very different is that the soil of this huge slope is actually red, and there are some strange plants sparsely growing on it, there are not many plants, but they are all strangely shaped, and this huge red slope is filled with a layer of faint white mist.
It is swirling, somewhat like morning haze, ethereal, elegant.
Those strange plants looked a little mysterious and dreamy under the white mist.
Even Peng Jiahe couldn't help but admire when he saw all this: "It's so beautiful here!" ”
But at this time, Li Zhu'er and Li Jingfeng's faces became solemn, and they were waiting for each other one by one.
Approaching the slope, I suddenly smelled the smell of white clouds, warm, sweet, with a hint of intoxication, which made people can't help but be fascinated and drowsy.
"Not good!"
I suddenly realized that something was wrong with me, but I found that I couldn't control myself at all, and my whole body seemed to faint in an instant.
At this moment, the red scorpion pills under my tongue suddenly jumped, and a strong bitter taste instantly gushed out from it, and it was this bitter taste that made me cry all of a sudden, and I was in a sleepy state and woke up directly.
"Everyone, be careful, something is wrong here!"
Just as I was sobering up, Li Zhu'er's nervous voice came out of my ears.
