I asked who Hong Erfa was, and Wang Hong said: "It is Uncle Hong's second son, and he has four sons, from Dafa to Sifa." Hong Erfa's wife died half a month ago. ”

I nodded, thinking that there was no doubt that the ghost of Hong Erfa's wife had possessed the woman, and suddenly I remembered that the woman had come and asked her where she was. Wang Hong said: "Their family's last room in the village can be seen from this dirt road heading north. The whole village did not dare to approach, for fear of falling for her trick. ”

I asked Wang Hong to take me to see, Wang Hong couldn't live or die, I knew that he was also afraid of those strange diseases. At his suggestion, a few of us planned to go to Uncle Hong's house to sit down and talk about the matter in detail by the way. On the way, I saw a few wooden stakes standing in a clearing, with a cow tied in the center, and the thick rope tied the limbs and body of the ox very tightly, and someone next to me used a big axe to cut the cow's neck, and the ox wailed, and struggled desperately, and the thick rope was so tight that it could not break free. A third of the cow's neck had been severed, and the bloody tendons and bones were exposed, and blood was pouring all over the ground. When the man had cut it, he put the axe beside him, and went to the corner to smoke. There were more than a dozen people watching, as well as a few children, and everyone seemed to be used to it.

"What is this doing?" I asked, confused.

Wang Hong said: "The old custom in the village is to kill cattle to do red and white things. ”

I said, "Why don't you give it a good time to kill a cow, how many axes do you have to cut?" ”

Wang Hong smiled: "Let the cow bleed for longer and the more auspicious it is, generally cut an axe in five minutes, how can it take more than half an hour to die." "I'm speechless, what kind of logic is this, taking pleasure in torturing animals that plough the land all day long? When I arrived at Uncle Hong's house, fortunately Wang Hong was present, his non-standard Guizhou Mandarin at least I could understand, and I couldn't communicate with everyone except him, Uncle Hong's house had no TV, radio, only simple incandescent light bulbs.

I asked, "How did these symptomatic villagers get sick, and is there anything in common?" If the woman wants to poison, there must be a way and a method, such as what people have eaten or touched her? ”

Wang Hong shook his head: "No." But to be honest, the woman rarely had contact with the villagers, so everyone guessed that it was the well water, because this was the only way for everyone to touch. ”

I nodded, and that was probably the only explanation. Suddenly, I felt that something was wrong, but I couldn't remember it for a while. At this time, I felt a stomachache and offered to go to the toilet for convenience. The toilet is diagonally opposite Uncle Hong's house, the huge toilet is actually a cement floor, and there are more than a dozen long pits, I squatted for a long time without results, but my stomach is getting more and more painful, and my forehead is sweating. Barely getting out of the toilet, I told Wang Hong: "Hurry, drive me out to the nearest hospital or health center, my stomach hurts so much!" ”

The strange thing is that Uncle Hong and the others, including Wang Hong, did not make a sound, but only looked at me silently. I couldn't straighten my waist, and I urged Wang Hong a few more times, but he only smiled bitterly at me, and suddenly I remembered something: "You, you just let me drink well water?" ”

Wang Hong sighed: "Mr. Tian, we can't help it, you look at how miserable the villagers are, they are all looking forward to someone to solve this matter, so they ...... I beg your pardon. ”

I yelled, "You dragged me into the water and poisoned me?" ”

Uncle Hong stood up and pointed at me and kept talking, but I didn't understand. Wang Hong said: "You can go and beg that woman to see if she can give you some antidote, at least for a few days, I will keep this leather bag for you first." Wang Hong reached out and took off the leather bag I was carrying, I was so painful that I had lost the ability to resist, and I had no other way but to walk out of Uncle Hong's house with the support of two strong villagers and walk towards the house where the woman lived.

It was still more than 100 meters away from the house, and the two of them threw me down directly, turned around and left, and never came back. My eyes were blackened with pain, and I had to walk towards the house.

This room is easy to find, just at the end of the village, three lonely rooms, and no yard. I clutched my stomach and gritted my teeth to the front of the house, and knocked on the door weakly, but no one answered, and then I went to shoot the window, and I sat down on the ground in pain, panting for breath, and my intestines seemed to be tied in a dead knot, as if I was still being dragged by two ends. In a daze, I thought, is it just like this to die in this poor village where I don't even know the name?

A small window opened in the window, and a young woman's face looked out, and when she saw me, I looked up, and I was already speechless in pain, so I had to look at me for help.

The woman asked, "What's the matter with you?" ”

I finally heard Mandarin, although it is not standard, not as good as Wang Hong, but it is already very good. I hurriedly said, "I, my stomach ......"

The woman asked suspiciously, "You are not from this village?" I nodded.

The woman asked, "Where did you come from?" ”

"I—I'm passing by." I had to lie. The woman sneered: "No one in this village has passed by at all, you are here to treat them, right?" "I was already in pain and I was starting to break down, so I could only nod my head. The woman disappeared again, and just as I was about to pass out, the woman poked her head out, stretched out her right hand, and pinched a shiny black centipede in her fingers: "Open your mouth." ”

I was most afraid of centipedes, spiders and other arthropods in my life, and I was so scared that I cried and shook my head again and again. The woman sneered: "Do you want to live or die?" If you don't eat, you won't survive tomorrow at most, close your eyes! I closed my eyes and opened my mouth tremblingly. A cool object fell into my mouth, shook back and forth, and then drilled hard into my throat. I subconsciously closed the muscles of my esophagus, but the thing was very powerful, and it got into my throat, and my throat was very itchy, so I had to swallow hard, and the thing slid into my esophagus.

After about ten minutes, the pain in my stomach gradually eased, and I was covered in cold sweat, as if I had come out of a ghost door, and my body was shaking. The woman said, "Where are you from?" ”

I said that I was from Liaoning, and the woman asked, "Are you a disciple?" I shook my head. The woman asked me who I was, and I had to tell the truth, saying that I knew a Thai mage.

The woman asked, "Can you cure this poison?" Know what you know? I could only shake my head, the woman poked her head out and looked towards the south of the village, and I saw Wang Hong, Uncle Hong and others standing there from afar, also observing me. The woman sneered: "If you have a way, just think about it, you have three to four days, and then you will have a seizure." The small window closed, and I called weakly a few times, but no one answered.

Walking back to the center of the village, Wang Hong greeted him and said with a smile: "Congratulations, Mr. Tian, you are so lucky, many people are so painful that they gnaw the grinding plate with their mouths, gnaw off all their teeth, and they haven't gotten her medicine." ”

I glared at him fiercely, Uncle Hong came over and said to me for a long time, I heard half of it, Wang Hong said: "Uncle Hong asked you to quickly find a way to find someone to treat the disease." "I especially hated the most "respectable" old man in the village, and ignored him. Wang Hong called three male villagers to carry me and stuffed me into the car, Wang Hong drove out of the village, it turned out that the village was extremely backward, not to mention the mobile phone signal, and even the electric lights were only available to five or six households.

I sat in the center of the back row, with a male villager on the left and right, and they kept their eyes on me all the way, and they didn't leave for half a second, as if they could fly out of the car without looking at me, and I admired the execution ability of these people.

After driving for another two hours to the township, the mobile phone barely had a signal. Wang Hong obviously has many acquaintances in the township, and often pokes his head out to greet others. Wang Hong parked the car, took out the mobile phone in my purse and handed it to me: "Just call here, we are XXX Village, XX Township, XX County, Bijie City, don't make a mistake, I'm afraid that people won't find it." ”

I called Fang Gang's mobile phone number, but he didn't answer the phone, even a dozen times. I was so anxious that I got into the house, and Wang Hong also urged me: "What the hell is going on?" Mr. Tian, don't think about tricks, now you can't protect yourself. ”

"The other party didn't answer, maybe I didn't hear it, I'll call again in a few minutes, you find a toilet, I want to pee." I say. Wang Hong drove as he said, and I quietly edited a text message to Fang Gang: "The villagers forced me to drink medicine, I don't know what poison I was in, XXX Village, XX Township, XX County, Bijie City, Guizhou, save me." The two villagers stared at my movements, but apparently they had never seen a cell phone, let alone what a text message was, and the confusion in their eyes was evident.

There were no public toilets in the township, so Wang Hong drove the car to the door of a small restaurant, and all five people got out of the car. When I got out of the car, I suddenly pointed to the left and shouted, "The police are coming!" "Taking advantage of the stunned efforts of the two villagers, I tried my best to break free of the two of them and ran away, Wang Hong was so anxious that he shouted in Guizhou dialect, and the four of them chased me together. I had just run a few dozen meters when a man on the side of the road stretched out a leg and tripped me.
