With the fire, we feel much warmer, roasting the fire, eating wild fruits that don't know the name, this feeling of escaping from death, let me cherish the life in front of me more, look at the beating flames, and warn myself in my heart, live out of this mountainous area, return to Beijing, incognito, live well, what Huangquan sacrifice, what death ceremony, Lao Tzu's life is only one, life is only this one, there is no death, no.

Bai Yun moved a few times, opened his eyes and saw that I was sitting across from him, and sat up with his elbows propped up, "Change me for the vigil, you can rest for a while." "It's okay, I'm not sleepy, how do you feel?"

Bai Yun tried to move his feet, frowned and shook his head, "Still no, it's weird." ”

'Strange?' I leaned over to look at him, "What's weird, I'll see." “

His ankle was more red and swollen than before, and where my fingers touched, I could feel fluid flowing under the skin, like blisters. "Could it be a broken bone?" I said to myself.

Bai Yun gently touched his ankle. "No, I knew very well when I was injured that the bone would not break, it was just a sprain." "If it's just a sprain, it stands to reason that it won't get worse so quickly, could it be that there are other injuries?"

Bai Yun thought for a moment and shook his head, and at this time, I heard footsteps in the dense forest behind me, and this footstep was not human, but similar to a large dog.

I looked at the dense forest behind me very vigilantly, it was pitch black, except for a rustling sound after the wind blew, but the footsteps just now did not appear again. "Don't be suspicious, there will be no living creatures in this place, except for one."

I looked back at him, "What? ”

Bai Yun gestured to me like a snake, "This is called Snake Valley, do you know what the biggest difference between a dragon and a snake is?" ”

"Of course you know, one has claws, and the other doesn't."

Bai Yun and I looked at each other and smiled, "This Thousand Dragon Pond is said to be a place where the descendants of the dragon clan have lived for generations, but where is the dragon clan?" We don't have any information to follow, and this is just a legend, however, Qianlong Pond does have a prototype in reality, that is, the deep pool above, it is said that the pool is bottomless, there was another drought in the fifties, and the Yellow River is out of water, but there is still plenty of water here, which is very similar to the legendary Qianlong Pond inexhaustible characteristics, so it has this name. ”

I followed his words and said: "The reason why the deep pool is not depleted is because the underground water veins here are special, and its source should be farther and deeper places, so even if it is drought, it will not affect it, but the local villagers do not understand this, they will only connect these natural visions and legends, but there should be another reason for them to believe that this is the legendary Thousand Dragon Pond." ”

Bai Yun smiled, grabbed a dry branch and threw one of them into the fire and burned it, "Yes, there is another reason, and that is these things. ”

Before he could finish speaking, his other hand had already pinched a small red snake in the air, and the snake was wrapped around his wrist, reflecting the fire to make the snake even more weird.

I was startled, trembling to him, and at this time, Jiang Yuan, who had been sleeping next to him, was also awakened, as soon as he opened his eyes, the faint red light startled me and Jiang Yuan again, the two of them breathed a sigh of relief, Bai Yun fixed the little snake on the branch, and said: "This is the red blood spirit snake, commonly known as the red flower snake, it is not poisonous, but the meat is very delicious." ”

Jiang Yuan moved his arms and legs, stood up and looked at the sky, "What time is it?" ”

I look at the watch, and it's waterproof, so this is the only high-tech thing that has survived now.

"It's four o'clock, and in a little while it will be dawn."

Jiang Yuan walked under a nearby tree, raised his hand and grabbed a red flower snake from it, and threw it to Bai Yun, who fixed it on another branch, "I really want to roast and eat it." ”

"Of course not." Jiang Yuan walked back and sat on the edge of the bonfire, and while taking the snake gall, he said: "Although the red flower snake is not poisonous, it is only because its own character is tame and timid, and it will not take the initiative to attack, but its gall is poisonous. ”

After speaking, he took out the gall of one of the red flower snakes and handed it to Bai Yun, "Eat it." ”

Bai Yun was stunned for a moment, and did not reach out to take it, but looked at me, as if to ask me what to do, I said in my heart where do I know, let you eat it, you can eat it, if he is like killing you, why should he save you in the tomb. "Eat." I pretended to be relaxed, but in fact, I didn't know the bottom in my heart, "Our family Yuan'er can still poison you." ”

Bai Yun took the snake gall, still a little hesitant, Jiang Yuan naturally knew that he was suspicious of something, while taking the snake gall of another snake, he said: "His foot was just dislocated, nothing, but he was bitten by a poisonous thing at the same time as he was on his foot, that thing drilled into his subcutaneous tissue, and began to lay eggs and reproduce, you see the red and swollen place on his foot, the reason why there is a watery feeling, is because the eggs of the subcutaneous tissue began to mature gradually." ”

When Bai Yun heard this, he immediately swallowed the snake gall, then looked at us and said, "Who has a dagger." “

I took out the dagger from my boot and was about to hand it over, but Jiang Yuan cut me off halfway, "It's useless for you to cut off the whole foot." "What then?" I'm in a bit of a hurry.

Jiang Yuan pinched the second snake gall bladder in his hand, and then asked Bai Yun to stretch his feet over, he broke the snake gall bladder and let the bile apply to the surface of the affected area, the skin surface began to blister, and there was white smoke, Bai Yun felt severe pain, and reached out to grab it, I hurried over and hugged him, trying not to let him move.

"Yuan'er, does your method work? I don't think Bai Yun is curing a disease, but like being poisoned. “

Bai Yun had already fainted in pain, Jiang Yuan looked at the changes in the red and swollen place of Bai Yun's ankle, and seemed to be very sure, I saw that the originally red and swollen surface began to turn black under the action of snake gall bladder, and the epidermis began to become shriveled and dehydrated. "Fighting poison with poison, this is the only way, we can only suppress the situation first and not worsen, and wait until we go out to my research room first."

I nodded, I have long heard that Jiang Yuan's laboratory is very mysterious, but this time I can see it, see the condition of Bai Yun, and I don't know if it is the effect of snake gall bladder, thin black lines have appeared on his face and hands, and these lines are like capillaries under the skin.

Jiang Yuan checked Bai Yun's ankle, looked at the sky again, and said to me: "You can sleep for a while, Bai Yun needs time to digest snake gall now, and when his condition is stable, we are on our way." “

"I'm not sleepy, you can sleep a little longer, I look at him."

"No need, I want to go over there and have a look, don't leave here, don't go out the bonfire."

"Hey, why are you going?"

Jiang Yuan ignored me, jumped on a tree and didn't know where to go.

I sat on the edge of the bonfire, looked at the sleeping white clouds, and looked at the bonfire, and said in my heart that after I went out from here, Lao Tzu would kidnap and tie Jiang Yuan, this kid back to the Xiao family's old house, and put him in the secret room first, and then I was looking for someone to go to Xia Jiling to get that keel, I don't believe that medicine is so developed now, and there are diseases that can't be cured.
