Chapter 18 A Thousand Years of Joining the King
Seeing Hou Bin walking over, the monkey had to look around him more cautiously.
Besides, when the second uncle saw that Hou Bin also came over to help, he was afraid that the monkey would be in danger alone, so he said to Hou Bin: "Why did you come here, the monkey is in danger there alone." ”
Hou Bin looked around and looked for the target and said to the second uncle, "It's okay, the monkey can take care of himself." ”
The second uncle's attention was focused on these weepings, and he didn't say anything to Hou Bin. The efficiency of the two people is indeed very high, and the two of them have already killed twenty or thirty nightmare crying in just over half an hour. At this time, the monkey not far away also saw their victory, and his heart became happy, thinking that if he also had an evil spirit in his hand, he could also catch the nightmare and cry with him.
And it was precisely because the monkey was only watching the second uncle and Hou Bin kill the nightmare crying there at this time, but this vigilance was relaxed, and at this time he didn't find that a nightmare cry was about to crawl to him. Just as the monkey was enjoying it, suddenly this nightmare screamed and roared and pounced on the monkey's body, and the monkey was suddenly pounced on by the guy who was more than three meters long, and the monkey was so frightened by this sudden blow that he almost lost his soul. The nightmare cried and bit on the monkey's shoulder, the monkey screamed in pain, and the second uncle and Hou Bin who were not far away heard that the sound was wrong, and immediately looked back, only to see a nightmare crying biting the monkey and not letting go, at this time the second uncle immediately shouted: "Take a torch to burn it, quickly take a torch and burn it." ”
Only then did the monkey remember that he still had a torch in his hand, and endured the pain, and took the torch and burned it at Nightmare, only to see that this Nightmare Cry immediately released its mouth and crawled away. At this point, the monkey's shoulder began to bleed and was in great pain. The second uncle and Hou Bin immediately retreated back and came to the monkey's side, at this time the second uncle asked Hou Bin to cover beside him, and then took out gauze and some emergency medicine from his bag, and after bandaging the monkey, the second uncle said: "We have to go out first for the time being." After that, the second uncle carried the monkey on his back, Hou Bin took the crossbody bag and the evil spirit, and threw the remaining torches directly into the hole.
Hou Bin took a flashlight and shone it in front and back for a while, to see if there was any crying to follow. After turning a few corners in this dark hole, the three of them finally came to the entrance of the cave. Hou Bin asked the second uncle with a guilty face: "What should we do now?" Does it matter if the monkey wants it? At this time, Hou Bin's heart was very uncomfortable, if he didn't have to go and cry with his second uncle, maybe the monkey wouldn't have been bitten
The second uncle was sweating profusely at this time, in addition to being tired from carrying the monkey, but also because the monkey was bitten by the nightmare, which made him very nervous. The second uncle hesitated for a moment and said, "I had prepared before, and I knew that it was very common for me to be bitten in the Nightmare Crying Cave, but the monkey's injuries were more serious. It will take more than half a month for him to recover from his injuries, and it seems that our plans are going to be postponed. The second uncle said this, and then turned back to the monkey and asked, "How do you feel?" ”
The monkey said weakly: "The shoulder is good, it hurts, and I am dizzy." After listening to the monkey, Hou Bin came over and wanted to apologize to the monkey, but he was startled when he saw the monkey's face. The monkey's face was not bloody, and his lips were black and purple.
Hou Bin hurriedly said to the second uncle: "Second uncle, look at the monkey's face, it has changed color." The second uncle carefully put the monkey down from behind him, and after reading it, the second uncle was also anxious, "This, this monkey is too poisoned." I'm afraid ......" The second uncle's lips trembled a little at this time, and he stopped in the middle of his words and didn't say any more. The second uncle recalled that when he was in the cave just now, it was probably because the monkey had been in a state of panic since he was bitten, and he did not drive the nightmare away in time, and the nightmare cry had been biting the monkey's shoulder for a long time, and a large amount of venom invaded the monkey's body, causing the monkey to be poisoned too deeply, which was also unexpected by the second uncle.
Hou Bin saw the expression of the second uncle at this time, although the second uncle did not say it, but he knew that the monkey was more than lucky this time. Hou Bin's mood at this time was very complicated, guilt, panic, anger at the nightmare, just when Hou Bin was at a loss, he suddenly thought of the crazy old man in the village, and when he was separated from the crazy old man the night before, the old man also specially instructed that if there was any emergency, he could find him. Although Hou Bin doesn't trust this old man very much, there is really no other way now, and he can only be a dead horse and a live horse doctor.
Hou Bin hurriedly said to the second uncle: "Second uncle, I think of someone who may be able to help us." ”
The second uncle was racking his brains there at this time, and when he heard Hou Bin say this, he immediately came to his senses, "Who?" ”
"It's the weird old man I met with the monkey last night."
After hearing this, the second uncle patted his thigh and said, "Why did I forget him, hurry up, you quickly lead the way, let's go find the old man." With that, the second uncle carefully carried the monkey again, and the monkey was already in a coma at this time. Hou Bin hurriedly took his second uncle to the village. Along the way, Hou Bin wanted to carry the monkey on his back, but the second uncle refused to do so, for fear of delaying half a time.
The second uncle is also eager to save people, and he has forgotten how tired he is, although the monkey is thin, but it is also more than 100 pounds, and he is walking on a mountain road. In the blink of an eye, the three of them crossed the ridge and came to the village where the old man lived. The first night I came to think this village was weird, and it felt even weird to look at this village during the day, and it didn't matter if I couldn't see people at night, I still couldn't see a person in this daytime, what chickens, ducks, geese and dogs, but I couldn't see anything panting, is this village a no-man's village? But the night before, there were lights on in this village, huh? Hou Bin didn't think much about it at this time, his only hope now was that the old man was still at home.
After turning a few corners, he finally came to the door of the old man's house, Hou Bin didn't care about being polite or impolite, and rushed directly into the house. As soon as they entered the house, they saw the old man from last night sitting on a stool and looking at them with a smile. Hou Bin was overjoyed at this time, hurriedly ran to the old man's side, and said to the old man out of breath: "Great, uncle." That friend of mine was in the Nightmare Crying Cave today and was bitten by Nightmare Cry, is there anything you can do? ”
The old man stood up unhurriedly and asked, "Where is your friend?" As soon as the old man finished asking, the second uncle came in with a monkey on his back. At this time, the second uncle was already sweating, and his entire shirt was soaked. At this time, the second uncle and the old man happened to glance at each other, and both of them were instantly stunned.
The reason why both of them were stunned was because he had guessed from listening to Hou Bin's description before that Hou Bin and the two of them must not be ordinary people, but probably some spirits in the mountains. So when the second uncle saw this old man for the first time, he had already confirmed his previous guess in his heart, this old man was the thousand-year-old Sam King. When the second uncle saw this village for the first time, he saw that this village was just a trick. At the same time, the second uncle was also steady, he knew that if the thousand-year-old ginseng king was willing to come to the rescue, it could basically be said that the monkey's life was saved. And the old man was stunned when he saw the second uncle because when he saw the appearance of the second uncle, he knew that the second uncle was not an ordinary person, he knew that he had no problem deceiving Hou Bin and the two of them, but he couldn't deceive the second uncle if he wanted to.
The two looked at each other for a moment, and then quickly came to their senses. The second uncle greeted the old man and said, "Big brother, hello." I'm sorry for your trouble, do you think this child can still be saved? With that, the second uncle slowly put the monkey off his back. Seeing this, the old man hurriedly said, "Put the child on the bed and I'll take a look." ”
The second uncle and Hou Bin carefully put the monkey on the bed, and the old man came over to look at the monkey and check the monkey's pulse. In fact, these are all played for Hou Bin alone, and the second uncle knows that this old man doesn't need these tricks to judge the monkey's condition at all.
After a while, the old man turned back to the second uncle and said, "Although the injury is not light, I can try it." My family has been practicing medicine for generations, and there are ancestral prescriptions, so you can wait a minute. With that, the old man got up and walked out. The second uncle thought to himself at this time, you are right when you say that your family has been practicing medicine for generations, after all, this ginseng is a high-grade medicinal material. But at this time, Hou Bin didn't know anything, and after listening to the old man, he said excitedly to the second uncle: "Second uncle, the monkey has been saved now, right?" ”
The second uncle wiped the sweat from his face, gasped, and said with a deliberately sad face: "Then it depends on his creation." After hearing this, Hou Bin turned back and held the monkey's hand and said, "Monkey, you must be fine." ”
Besides, this old man, after going out for a long time, came in with a bowl of steaming decoction, and Hou Bin hurriedly took it. The old man asked Hou Bin to feed the decoction to the monkey first, and then he found gauze and some herbs that had been pounded and replaced them with the monkey.
Hou Bin still wondered in his heart, this is only a lot of effort, the decoction is boiled, the herbs are also pounded, but he didn't hear a sound at all, this old man is too neat to work, right? But the most important thing now is that the monkey's disease can be cured, and nothing else matters.
At this time, the old man called the second uncle outside, I don't know what the two of them were talking about, and Hou Bin has been staying by the monkey's side, seeing that the monkey's face is slowly improving, Hou Bin's heart that has been hanging can be regarded as letting go. Because the monkey was not lightly injured after all, he stayed at the old man's house that night.
The next morning, after breakfast, the old man boiled another bowl of soup for the monkey to drink. Then the monkey's gauze was removed, and to the surprise of Hou Bin and the monkey, the wound actually healed, although a little scar could still be seen, but this was no longer a problem. The monkey moved the arm that had been bitten by Nightmare Cry, and found that there was no pain at all, as if it had not been injured at all, and the two were stunned, but the second uncle was not too surprised by this.
As soon as the second uncle saw that the monkey was fine, he decided to hurry to the Nightmare Crying Cave and continue to collect the Nightmare Crying Tendons and Corpse Rock Grass. Before leaving, the old man gave the second uncle two packets of medicine, saying that he might be able to use it in the future.
When the three of them walked to the ridge, Hou Bin wanted to look back at the village again, and found that the village was gone, replaced by nothing more than a forest.
