Chapter 11: Cold Poison

The fat man was worried about the safety of the smoke man, so he went down to the cave to check. As a result, it was found that the man had fallen to the ground motionless, with a layer of frost on his face, just like a corpse parked in the freezer of the morgue, and he was really frightened.

He hurriedly untied the kettle hanging from the cigarette man's waist, gently pinched the cigarette man's mouth with his hand, poured the juice in the kettle, and then explained to the fat man on the side: "This is ginger juice, which can drive away the cold, we have to carry him out, and then raise a fire to warm him." ”

After everyone heard this, they carried the man out of the hole in the ground, and then laid him flat on the ground. The third and second children began to massage the smoke man's whole body, and the others picked up some branches and began to fill the fire that was about to be extinguished.

After a series of treatment measures, the frost on the smoke man's face began to slowly melt until it disappeared, the fat man looked at the smoke man lying on the ground, and asked the third child who was busy massaging the smoke man with some anxiety: "Does the smoke man often become like this?" ”

At this time, the third child had tears in his eyes, shook his head very sadly and said, "It won't happen often, only once or twice a year." However, every time you may never wake up again. Over the years, my eldest brother has relied on the special medicinal soup that his master gave him to sustain his life. However, the cold poison will slowly erode the body, first from the hair to freeze, then to the skin and muscles, and then to the bones, and when it penetrates deep into the bone marrow, there is no cure. After the third child finished speaking, he took off the handkerchief pinned to his clothes and wiped away the tears that had not yet fallen from the corners of his eyes.

The fat man saw that he couldn't help if he stayed with the cigarette man, so he walked up to the bonfire and threw branches into it to make it burn more vigorously.

At this time, the monkey approached the fat man's side and asked him softly: "Fat brother, what's wrong with the cigarette boy, why has he been tricked before he enters the tomb?" ”

The fat man turned his head and replied softly, "It's cold poison, he used to have it on him, and now he is sick." ”

When the monkey heard that it was cold poison, his eyes instantly widened like a bull's eye, and his voice was a little sharp: "What? Poisoned by cold? ”

The fat man heard the monkey's exclamation, hurriedly covered the monkey's mouth, and looked at the third child next to him worriedly. Seeing that the third child was so angry that he rolled his eyes at the dead fish, he was constantly scolding the fat man in his heart at this time for "not being able to store half a tael of sesame oil in the dog's stomach", and just now he swore that he would not leak the secret, and he said it so quickly.

The fat man's big palm covered the monkey's entire face, and the fat man's thick elbow was still between the monkey's tiny neck, so that the monkey didn't catch his breath for half a day, and was almost suffocated to death.

The monkey covered his neck with a red face and coughed for a long time, and then said to the fat man: "Fat brother, you want to strangle me!" ”

The fat man ignored him, and asked the third child with a hippie smile: "The frost on the face of the cigarette boy has receded, is it okay?" ”

When the third child heard the fat man ask himself, he turned his face to the side, ignoring the fat man's question, obviously angry at the fat man for revealing secrets. The second child next to the third child is a burly and tall honest man, who is just smirking when he has nothing to do all day, and his personality is like a naΓ―ve child, and he has no new machine. When he saw that the third brother didn't answer, he replied to the fat man with a smile: "I've seen my eldest brother like this before, just let him sleep for a while, do you say it's the third brother?" After speaking, he looked at the third child happily.

The third child was still angry and didn't answer, and the monkey interjected on the side: "I've never heard of it, you can still live after being poisoned by the cold, and the little brother who smokes is really not an ordinary!" ”

The fat man asked the monkey, "I have heard that the cold poison is very poisonous, but I don't know how strong it is, is it more toxic than the corpse poison of the bloody corpse?" ”

When the monkey heard the fat man mention the bloody corpse, he began to say with some disdain: "The bloody corpse is the king of corpses, and if it is poisoned, people's skin will immediately seem to be as unbearable as if it is on fire, and then the whole body will itch and be helpless as if there are thousands of ants biting it, and then the bones will be as painful as being pricked by countless needles, and finally the heart will slowly stop beating and die of failure." However, at the time of poisoning, you can also save yourself, such as amputating your limbs or cutting off the poisoned place instantly, if there is no way to eradicate the poisoned place. However, if there happens to be a master or doctor in the inverted bucket world beside him, he can also use guΓ² silver needles to seal the pulse, glutinous rice to pull out poison, and other methods of treatment, although he may not fully recover, but he will not lose his life in a moment. And if you are hit by the 'cold poison', you don't even have a chance to shout for help, and in an instant your whole body will freeze from the outside in, and you will die in an instant, I have never heard of someone who has been hit by cold poison and can survive. Cold poison is a strange Gu poison in ancient times, planted in the glacier 'thousand-year-old snow corpse', this poison almost belongs to the category of myths and legends, as for what the cold poison will look like, I have never seen it in reality, but I just happened to hear the predecessors of the inverted bucket talk about it, and they are just hearsay, no one knows what the specific "cold poison" and "snow corpse" are. I always thought that the snow corpse was a fiction and did not exist at all, but I didn't expect that today would be an eye-opener. The little brother of the smoke man is really extraordinary, he can actually go to the fight with the snow corpse, yes, yes, it's really too good, he didn't die after being poisoned by the cold, he can be called a god! ”

The monkey was dancing and foaming at the mouth, and he couldn't help but sigh, which made the third child who was guarding the cigarette man's side angry, and saw him staring at each other, pinching his waist with one hand, pointing at the monkey's nose and scolding: "What, are you envious?" Envy is easy to do! I'm going to get the cold poison on my eldest brother now, and I'm going to get it on you, a monkey cub who doesn't know what to do, so that you can brag about it wherever you go in the future. ”

The monkey saw that the third child was furious, for fear that he would really transplant cold poison to himself, so he immediately closed his mouth, hid behind the fat man, and then said with a smiling face: "Little third master, don't be angry!" I'm just going to explain to you the benefits and harms of cold poison, there is absolutely no other meaning, don't get me wrong, anger hurts the most. After saying that, he secretly poked the fat man with his finger and asked the fat man to speak out to relieve him.

The fat man knew that the third child was already angry when he said something leaking just now, and now the monkey was still adding fuel to the fire, so he had to accompany the smiling face and said: "Little third master, don't be like a dead monkey cub, I'll help you fix him well in a while, and relieve your anger." Now, it's important to take care of the cigarette boy. ”

The third child's character is unforgiving, he pinched his waist with his hands, and began to count the fat man and the monkey without giving in, and the fat man is not the kind of person who allows you to point your nose and scold and not return the mouth, just when the two of them were arguing fiercely, the cigarette man who had been lying motionless on the ground suddenly spoke: "You two stop arguing, I'm fine now." With that, he sat up from the ground.

When the third child saw that the smoke man had woken up, he immediately shut down, and said to the smoke man with teary eyes: "Big brother, you can be regarded as waking up, you scared me to death just now, you don't know how worried I am about you not waking up." ”

The smoke man looked at the frightened third child, the corners of his mouth rose rarely, and said to him with a smile: "Isn't it okay for me?" Don't cry, like a child. ”

The second brother standing on the side said with a smirk: "I said it all, my eldest brother will be fine after sleeping for a while." You see, he's not awake now. After saying that, he smirked very happily.

The cigarette man stood up and patted the second child on the shoulder and said to him, "Well, I'm fine, let you worry." ”

The fat man was still a little worried and asked the cigarette man, "Little brother, are you really okay?" I just saw that you were frozen into popsicles, so let's roast the fire again and warm your body. ”

The cigarette man smiled, looked at the fat man and said, "How can it be so exaggerated, I'm completely fine now, my body moves freely, let's hurry up and hurry up and get down to business." ”

With the lessons of the past, everyone was worried that the cold poison in the smoke man's body would attack again, and they refused to let him leave everyone's field of vision alone. So, everyone quickly packed up their equipment and walked into the cave collectively.

The underground passage dug by the earth dragon is not as narrow as the thief hole, everyone can travel by bending down slightly, and after walking about a cigarette, it has reached the end of the passage, at the end is an oval-shaped large earth hole, which should be the nest of the earth dragon, the ground is very smooth, without any straw and sundries, but there is a fishy smell, it can be seen that the earth dragon usually rests here, and occasionally drills out of the ground to bask in the sun.

The smoke man circled around the spacious cave, then put his backpack on the ground and opened it, took out two iron pipes to connect them, and took out the shovel head of a Luoyang shovel, connected it to the iron pipe, and then inserted it on the ground in the southwest direction of the cave, and saw that the iron pipe more than one meter long was left, and a tail about three inches long was exposed. The smoke man grabbed the tail of the iron pipe and lifted it upwards vigorously, and the Luoyang shovel brought out a large amount of soil, and everyone gathered around to check. I saw that the soil on the Luoyang shovel was only half a shovel, and the bottom of the shovel was empty, but there was some black liquid sticking to it, close to the nose, and a slight fishy smell could be smelled.

The fat man pinched his nose and said, "What is this rotting in the ground, it stinks." ”

The monkey dipped his fingers in a little of the liquid from the shovel, then rubbed his fingers a few times, then put it under his nose and sniffed it, and then said, "It's not the smell of blood, it's not the smell of rotting corpses, it's not the smell of rotting corpses, it's not the rotting juice of trees, it's not the rotting juice of trees." Although the smell of the liquid on the shovel was unpleasant, it was not very pungent, only a slight fishy smell, a bit like the smell of mucus covering the surface of some kind of insect egg. ”

The fat man shook his head disagreeingly and said, "If it is insect eggs, such a small size will definitely be brought up by the shovel." However, you see that there is not even a single egg on this shovel, only black slime, which I think must be the sap of rotting dead wood in the ground. Because there is space underground, the air circulation makes the putrefinite not petrified. ”

The man who had been staring at the half-shovel of dirt didn't say anything, but walked to the other side of the nest with a pipe shovel, and on the ground at the edge of the cave, he stuck the shovel into the dirt in the same way, and then pulled it out to watch. It turned out that the shovel still only brought up half a shovel of soil, and the black slime was still attached to the bottom of the shovel. When the smoke man saw this scene, he couldn't help frowning, and his expression was not very good, and he shoveled and explored in other directions in the nest and the central seat respectively. Outcome. The exact same situation occurred, the shovel brought only half a shovel of dirt and half a shovel of fishy black slime.

The man motioned for everyone to sit down in the center of the nest, and then said, "The ground where we are now is only about five feet away from the underground space, and it is undoubtedly the most convenient and time-saving way to dig a thief hole from here. However, I'm worried," the cigarette man frowned at this point and didn't say anything further.

The fat man also understood the current situation at this time, the black slime on the ground must be extraordinary, and it will definitely not be a good situation. However, he came here again to rescue the trapped Yue'er, because of the eagerness to save people, as soon as he was excited, the old problem was committed, and he stumbled and said, "Hurry down!" What are you waiting for? ”

As soon as the fat man's words fell, the third child squinted his eyes angrily and immediately said, "You are stupid! Can't see what's wrong with this? ”

The fat man was worried about Yue'er, so he was very excited, and said unforgivingly: "You are stupid, so stupid that you can't even figure out whether you are a man or a woman." ”

When the third child heard this, he was so angry that his head was smoking, and he suddenly stood up from the ground, stretched out his orchid finger, pointed to the fat man's nose and said, "You make it clear to Lao Tzu, who is not a man or a woman?" With that, he stomped vigorously on the ground with his foot.

As a result, who knew that the third child stomped his foot like this, but he broke into a monstrous disaster.
