Chapter 27: Taboos
The most painful thing in life is not that we are crawling with bugs, but that these bugs want to explode our chrysanthemums! The two of us had no countermeasures, and there was no way out around, so we could only keep using our clothes to sweep the insects on our bodies, and Tang Linlin, who was sleeping Zhou Xuanye, everything seemed very inconvenient, and I was really worried that they would not wake up like this.
These two suddenly fell into a coma and kept babbling, could it be that they were evil?
Or maybe it's poisoned?
But why is Tan Jian okay alone?
Those insects are getting bigger and bigger, in the dark, I am almost too busy to take care of myself, I can't care about Zhou Xuanye and Tang Linlin at all, in a hurry, I came up with an idea, and immediately said: "Boss, let's hurry up and make a fire, such a small insect must have low heat resistance." "They're smaller than sesame seeds, and they're probably scorched as soon as they get close to the fire.
Tan Blade's distorted face suddenly softened, and without saying a word, he took out the lighter, and said while lighting the fire: "If this idea is useful, I will credit you." ”
"Thank you, boss."
The clothes were already full of insect corpses, and they had been worn for a long time, and they were oily and sweaty, and the fire instantly grew bigger. I kept a shirt and put the robe or something in it and burned it, and as the flames burned, the hot breath spread around, and there were really no insects falling on us again.
Some of the original crawling on the body were also scared, although I couldn't see whether they had wings or not, but like floating dust, they quickly drifted away from the area where the bonfire was located, but some insects hidden in the ears and private parts still persevered, but there were not many of them, and they were directly eliminated by our hands.
But the clothes were limited, and we didn't expect these situations before entering the mountain, so the fuel we carried was also limited.
The vegetation in this area is very luxuriant, but there is plenty of water, and there is no dry wood to burn around. As for the vines, not to mention, they don't emit fire when they are burned, they only smoke, but the smoke is obviously useless against those little bugs.
In a hurry, after burning my and Tan Blade's robes, I could only go and pick Zhou Xuanye's coat to prolong the time for the flame to burn.
Tan Jian rubbed his face, looked at the dark night sky around him, and suddenly said: "They are not kind, don't blame me, take out all the iodine wine." ”
Iodine?
I was taken aback, because this thing is sterilized, so of course we have some to carry, is he going to have iodine? This thing ignition is very powerful, if you are not careful, it is a forest fire!
I immediately said, "Boss, don't be impulsive, let's think of another way?" ”
Tan Jian said: "Other ways? Burn you? ”
I thought about it, silently rummaged through the equipment bag, pulled out the iodine wine chop and handed it to Tan Jian. What this girl decided to do, the nine cows couldn't pull it back, but just as he opened the lid of the iodine wine and was about to sprinkle the wine to ignite it, a voice suddenly came from the darkness: "Stop! ”
It was a man's voice, which startled me a lot, and the most important thing is that it was still a little familiar, but I couldn't remember it for a while.
Tan Blade's movements paused because of this voice, and at the same time, in the darkness in front of him, a figure suddenly appeared.
The man had black hair and black robes, and his movements were fast, and he quickly ran towards the location of the four of us, and at first glance it was Yumen's. Tan Jian reacted quickly, thinking that the other party was going to sneak attack, so he suddenly pulled out the pistol on his waist. I was startled and yelled, "Stop! "The reason why I stopped him was because I knew this person, and he was the same person who was imprisoned with me before and was known as Jiang Xi.
How did he get out of his cell?
Tan Jian still gave me a lot of face, and when he heard this, he took a step back, although the gun was aimed at Jiang Xi, he had no intention of shooting.
At this time, the menacing Jiang Xi also stopped, panted slightly, and said to us: "Don't set fire." ”
Tan Jian tilted his head slightly and asked me, "Do you know?" ”
I nodded.
He frowned and said, "You really have friends all over the world." ”
"Where is the boss you, this is my cellmate, you wait, I'll ask first." Then, I beckoned to Jiang Xi: "Brother, have you come out of prison?" I just came out and didn't have a good rest, so why did I come here? ”
Jiang Xi was still the same, with a look of hatred for everyone, staring at the two of us coldly, and then said: "The 'Nightmare' of the pothos barrier is poisonous, and once the fire expands, the poisonous smoke will immediately kill you." ”
As if to confirm his words, Tan Jian and Tang Linlin, who fell to the ground, suddenly curled up in pain, whispering even harder, and they didn't know what they were dreaming about, the speed of their speech was very vague and fast, and we couldn't hear it clearly.
Could it be that their coma is related to these plants called 'Nightmare'?
Without waiting for me and Tan Jian to react, Jiang Xi took out a small porcelain bottle from his waist, and then poured out four pills from it, and said, "This is an insect repellent medicine, hurry up and eat it to find a way." "I found that the pill in his hand looked exactly the same as the one that Lu Xiu handed me at that time.
Can this pill really repel worms?
We are not stupid, of course it is impossible for others to give anything to eat, Jiang Xi saw that we did not speak, frowned, and said: "These insects are the 'foraminiferous insects' cultivated by my Yumen, they usually parasitize in the cracks of the stones, and once they feel the breath of the living, they will besiege people." Now you don't feel it, but as soon as the flames are extinguished, all the foraminifera on it will pounce on it, and you won't even know how to die. ”
Topmost?
I chuckled in my heart, and said I wouldn't be able to guess correctly, would I? Could it be that the day has not been bright because it is all blocked by insects? How many bugs do you have to have! Tan Jiande's face changed slightly, but he was still very vigilant, and said, "You want to help us?" ”
Jiang Xi said: "I don't want to help you, I'm just forming an alliance with you temporarily." ”
"Alliance?" I said, "What alliance with us?" ”
Jiang Xi said coldly: "I took the opportunity to escape, I am alone, I can't escape from this place." Tan Jian sneered: "Can you escape if you follow us?" You're more familiar with this place than we are, aren't you? ”
Tan Jian is right, even if Jiang Xi escaped, he is a person from Yumen, and he can't be more familiar with this place, why do you want to cooperate with us?
And at this moment, there are indeed no insects on his body, and the foramen worms around him seem to be unable to see him at all. Jiang Xi ignored Tan Jian's question, and said coldly: "Do you eat or not!" "I calmed down at this moment, and I think Jiang Xi shouldn't harm us, because of the current situation, even if the people from Yumen don't do it, the four of us will be too busy to take care of ourselves.
Thinking of this, I gritted my teeth, took the pill and swallowed it in one gulp, and Tan Jian on the angry side scolded: "Who let you eat it!" ”
I said, "It's okay, I'll try it first, and then you can eat it if it works." ”
Tan Jian choked and looked at me in a daze.
The taste was exactly the same as the one that Lu Xiu gave me before, and after I swallowed it, I asked, "Isn't the deworming all sprayed on the body, and this pill is useful if you eat it?" ”
Jiang Xi said coldly: "They are judged by the breath, this medicine can make you have the smell of Yumen, and it will take effect in ten minutes." "But at this moment, the fire is about to be extinguished, how can it last until ten minutes, I looked at the iodine wine in Tan Blade's finger, and carefully poured out some, gradually controlling the fire, in the process, Jiang Xi became a little irritable, and said: "You all eat quickly, don't delay time, they should catch up in a while." ”
I said, "The people of the Torture Hall? ”
Jiang Xi nodded.
At this time, Tan Jian suddenly stretched out his hand, took the pill, took one himself, turned around and went to feed Tang Linlin again, the change in attitude was so fast that I was dumbfounded, and I couldn't help asking: "Boss, why did you suddenly figure it out?" ”
He said nonchalantly: "There is no other choice, I want to die together." ”
After about ten minutes, we tried to get out of the flames, but there were really no insects falling down, and for a while I was not overjoyed, and said, "Thank you, you really want to form an alliance with us?" "He's perfectly capable of escaping on his own, so why waste his time here with us?
Jiang Xi obviously knew what we were thinking, and it was only at this time that he answered Tan Jian's previous question: "I am alone, I can't run out, and the people of the torture hall will catch up sooner or later, but they don't dare to do it directly with you, because you make him taboo." ”
Taboo? I was a little surprised and said, "What is taboo?" Could this be the reason why they lied to me to poison me, but didn't do it themselves? ”
Jiang Xi nodded silently, he obviously didn't have a good impression of the four of us, but he endured it.
Tan Jian tilted his head slightly, and said lightly: "Tale us? What do we have to make you taboo? ”
Jiang Xi's gaze moved to Tan Jian's body, like a laser, he scanned Tan Jian up and down, and then said, "What are you taboo...... You yourself should know very well, right? ”
As soon as these words came out, I suddenly found that the corners of Tan Blade's eyes twitched fiercely.
Suddenly I realized, this girl must have something to hide from me! What is it that can make people in Yumen taboo? No wonder those people are so tossed and asked me to do it, and they didn't dare to do it directly?
