Chapter Seventy-Five: Keeping a Quiet Night in the Mid-Mountains
As soon as Jin Fa Cai's words fell, this soft voice seemed to have been heard by the figure, and he glanced at us, and ran quickly.
I took a closer look through the reflection of the water, and it was indeed Li Youwu.
"I said why did you kid run away without saying a word, and the phone walkie-talkie couldn't be connected, what tricks are you playing?" Kim Fa Cai shouted to him from a distance.
"Tap!" At this time, he had already run in front of us: "Something happened temporarily, and I didn't have time to tell you. β
"What's wrong?" I saw him talking, looking around for something, and asked him.
"Who is this?" Li Youwu did not answer my question directly, but first saw the iron egg lying on the stone.
"A little kid, I almost got killed by him." Blonde Fortune rolled his eyes angrily, and the iron egg on the ground who was still unconscious.
"What are you doing here?" Seeing that Jin Facai and I were burning haystacks and smoke, Li Youwu turned over and jumped on the stones, took off his shoes and poured out all the water, twisted his soaked trousers, and stretched out his legs to bake by the fire.
We told him about the situation along the way, and when he heard us talk about the scene where he saw a girl taking a bath there, he subconsciously grabbed a handful of branches he had brought with him and glanced in the direction we said.
"What's wrong? Hey, you haven't answered my question yet, what happened to you before and you were left behind? I pressed him further.
Li Youwu began to chop the branch with the blade of the sapper shovel as he said, "The goblin you saw is probably the one I met before. It's just that I didn't see her, I could just smell her. β
"Leprechauns? Smell it? Jin Facai blinked his little eyes and asked in disbelief, "What does it smell like?" β
"What else can it smell like, goblin flavor!" Li Youwu continued to sharpen the branches in his hand, which looked like he had just collected along the way, and he first split the branches into sections, each as long as a finger, and the head of each branch was sharpened into a sharp cone like a pencil.
"I said big officials, it's strange to say, you said that we all belong to the same ancestral spirit, but why can I and you see the ghost, but why can't this little plum see it?"
In fact, I was skeptical about this question before, Jin Facai could see Ayido lightly, but Li Youwu couldn't see it, but then I thought about it, before Ayido, I had only seen the bardo body of the old loach, and the girl in black who lived on the roof of my building and didn't know if it was a person or a ghost, if I pushed it further, even if the ghost possessed by Sister Ming was so close to me, I only heard the sharp voice for the last time but didn't see the specific appearance.
So whether or not you can see ghosts or not has little to do with age, Kim Fa Choi is two years younger than me, and this Li Youwu is eight years younger than me...... I was pondering this question, but Li Youwu was intrigued by Jin Facai's question: "Why, you mean to say-is it difficult, I'm not the ancestral spirit you are looking for?" β
"I didn't mean that, but ...... It's just a little weird, of course, I only recently had this function outside the gold member, and I couldn't see it before, let alone not seeing it, I can't even smell it, you're better than me, at least I still know what it smells like~" Jin Facai scratched his scalp.
Hearing Jin Facai say this, I thought of a possibility, that is-Five Elements Jue.
I can clearly see the old loach, the girl in black, and Ayido, but it really happened after taking the Five Elements Jue from my father. And Jin Facai naturally saw Ayiduo on the way to Ruili after wearing the Five Elements Jue.
"I think, maybe it's because we wear the Five Elements Jue, when we get to Shencheng, let my father test Xiao Li, and then send him a piece of pure Yangmu Five Elements Jue to wear, he will naturally be the same as us."
"Five Elements?" Lee Yoo-go looked at us.
"No, this is this baby!" Jin Facai pointed to the sign hanging around his neck and I and said: "Let's go, there are a total of five ancestral spirits, each of them has a different five elements, I guess it's a talisman or something, all of them were left for us by the ancestors and grandfathers." Now that we've gotten together, where are the other two, it depends on the will of God. β
As he was talking, the iron egg made some noises, he should be about to wake up, and I saw that this large pile of haystacks had been smoked and there were almost some black ashes left, so I got up and said: "It doesn't matter if the woman is a human or a ghost, let's go back and save people now." β
Jin Facai glanced at Tie Dan, raised his head and drank two sips of mineral water, rinsed his mouth and sprayed it all on Tie Dan's face, and patted his face and shouted: "Hey, hey, Comrade Tiedan!" It's dawn, it's dawn, it's time to get up! β
was sprayed and slapped by Jin Facai like this, Tie Dan really woke up, wiped a handful of water all over his face, opened his eyes and looked around us: "Brother Jin, why did I fall asleep?" β¦β¦ Hey, this isn't the deserter......"
"Phew! Who deserted? Li Youwu saw him pointing at himself, so he glared: "Lao Tzu noticed a demonic aura when he was urinating, so he chased him directly, who ran away!?" β
"Demonic spirit? β¦β¦ Oh! Iron Dan seemed to have just come to his senses, and quickly turned back to look in the direction of the woman's bath, and was about to touch his rifle.
"Hey! Don't make any more trouble, it's you in front, and the aunt and grandmother were anxious as soon as they shot, if I hadn't saved you in time with Zang Daguan, your kid would have drowned in this water by now, so you can save us some trouble. β
"It turned out that you fired the gun, and I chased after it by listening to the direction of the gunshot." Li Youwu finished cutting his last branch, grabbed all the branches and put them on the stones, and skillfully lined them up with a long rope to make a circle around his waist.
"Xiao Lizi, you are from the barren mountains and mountains, even if you chase ghosts, and you still have this habit of picking up firewood? Why, to make such a thing, is it considered armor? β
Li Youwu glanced at him, and said angrily: "I don't understand what I told you." β
"Hey......" Jin Facai pursed his lips and made a disdainful expression: "Okay, you are superb in martial arts, invulnerable!" β
"Okay, there's no time to practice your mouth, hurry up and save people!" I kicked the burnt ash from the stone into the water, and reached out to pull the still pale iron egg: "Can you walk now?" β
Tiedan, this kid is also strong, he didn't take my hand, he used his rifle as a crutch to support himself and stood up, stepped on the spot a few steps and smiled awkwardly: "Hehe, it should be fine, let's go to Company Commander Wang and them." β
The four of them jumped off the stone platform, the fat man was in front, turned on the headlamp to lead the way, I walked in the middle with the iron egg, Li Youwu also turned on the headlamp, and followed the sapper shovel to press the team, turning back from time to time to cover while walking.
Because it is very easy to identify down the stream, although it is dark, but not lost, at this time the strange fragrance in the air is no longer obvious, only the faint fragrance of the dipterocarp tree, the miasma should be basically dispersed.
Company Commander Wang had already learned the news from the walkie-talkie that we were back with Li Youwu, and Jin Facai was quick to tell the real reason for the gunshots. When we came to the grassy slope, Commander Wang asked about the appearance of our naked bathing woman, and before the fat man and I could speak, the iron egg told the whole story very excitedlyβof course, the part about him who almost fell into the water was supplemented by Jin Facai.
Ah Zi and Ah Hu Ah Leopard also gathered around, talking and discussing, and I took advantage of this gap to call Leng Bingbing to ask for help on the use of the antidote.
As soon as he dialed the phone, Bingbing immediately connected: "Ah, why is it so long, I'm in a hurry." β
"It's okay, it's okay, the grass is a little wet, and it's burning so it's slower." I was afraid that she would be worried, so I omitted the plot of the demon girl bathing: "Now let's talk about it, how to eat these sweet potato-like things?" β
"Well, this is not a sweet potato, it should be called wild grass grass, which belongs to a variant of Atractylodes in the southern region, in the medical books, there are only records of North Atractylodes and South Atractylodes, this wild grass is only recorded in a home remedy of our family, but I have never used this herb, so whether it can be effective or not, I can't guarantee ......"
"Okay, don't be modest, now a dead horse is a live horse doctor, since the leaf smoke can smoke off the miasma, then this root should also work, you can say it quickly." I urged.
"Don't worry, don't worry, you can't be in a hurry to treat the disease, the more anxious you are, the more clueless you are, you listen to me slowly, don't be mistaken."
Bingbing paused, probably sorting out his thoughts, and after a few seconds, he said, "Well, first peel the outer skin of these stems and put them in a pile, add a little water over slow heat, and put them in a small metal pot to boil out the thick juice...... The flesh of the stems is made in another pile and mashed with a stick...... In the medicine I gave you, there is the powder of the soul-dispersing soup, according to the ratio of 100 grams of stems to 5 grams of powder, mix them together to adjust the paste, if there is a high concentration of liquor, it is better, add 20 drops according to the previous proportion, and rub the mixed paste into a ball the size of a longan, and then ......"
She walked slowly through each step as I jotted down every detail.
It took about 10 minutes for her to explain all the steps and finally said, "Yes." For the time being, there is only so much you can think of, you can also take this pill to dissolve the poison of the miasma that you may inhale, one is enough. Those who are seriously ill, let them swallow two pills today, and then wipe the boiled juice on their foreheads, temples, throats, both sides of the nose, Jizhong, Guan Yuan, Qihai, perineum, Zusanli, Yongquan, and then turn their bodies over and lie on their stomachs and sleep for 8 hours, during which they can't eat anything, and tomorrow morning, they should be able to see the blue-black liquid spitting out of their mouths, and then help them up and take two more pills and drink some hot water. In this way, it is basically possible to recover seventy or eighty percent of the body, and if the physique is good, it is possible to heal in half a day. Remember, you must sleep with your hind limbs elevated, not in the rain or in the cold wind......"
After memorizing all the steps, Bingbing explained some words such as paying attention to safety, and because she was in a hurry to make medicine, she didn't talk too much.
I told Company Commander Wang about Bingbing's prescription, this is not a difficult thing to do, we still have more than enough clean water, as for the liquor, these soldiers each have a small Russian flask with white liquor in their bags, these are their preparations to keep out the cold, and now they also come in handy.
It's just to rest for more than 8 hours, but there are some difficulties, now it is located in the middle of the mountainside, if you are stationed here, the deep mountains and dense forests are dangerous, but there is no other way at the moment, fortunately, Ah Hu and Ah Leopard have carried three tents up the mountain, so they finally decided to stay in place overnight.
Only three people can sleep in a tent. Now there are 12 of us, and we have set aside one tent for three wounded and sick to sleep, and the other two tents for nine people, so we can only free up three places outside the tent and light a campfire to keep vigil in turn.
The other two teams, at this time, both came with the news that they had arrived in Ah Zi's village, and of course, it was not surprising that no other people were found in the village. Company Commander Wang asked them to find a place in the village to rest for the night, and then investigate after tomorrow's round.
We took the camping cooking utensils, boiled the juice of the wild grass cangs according to the steps, rubbed the pills of the pills, and after completion, Tie Dan and Xiao Liu were responsible for feeding the medicine and wiping the body, and I guided the specific wiping acupuncture points on the side.
After the three of us lay down in the tent with our legs high and our heads low, the rest of us also took a bitter and spicy pill, and it was already past nine o'clock in the evening.
I hurriedly ate some dry food, set up two other tents, and prepared to spend the night on the spot.
After deliberation, from nine o'clock to zero o'clock, I, Jin Facai, and Ah Zishou were the first wave; From zero to three o'clock, Company Commander Wang, Tie Dan, and Xiao Liu Shou were in the second wave; The last wave from three to six o'clock was guarded by Ah Hu Ah Leopard and their young owner Li Youwu.
After they all fell asleep inside, I and Jin Fa Cai Ah Zi gathered around the bonfire, although the mountain breeze on the summer night was not cold, but it was also very cold, the three of them roasted by the fire, watching the flying insects attracted by the firelight continue to pounce, from time to time there were small insects that were swallowed by the tongue of fire instantly turned into ashes, and the sky was full of stars, very close to us.
Ah Zi took out a coat and wrapped it around her body, tilted her neck and stared at the night sky blankly without saying a word, her face was brightly reflected by the firelight, and there was a trace of confusion in her eyes.
I know that this is the feeling that she has found her familiar hometown again, this kind of pure starry sky close at hand, which she can never see in a big city like Shencheng, where she is far away from her hometown, and she, a displaced little princess, must miss her parents and her friends in that small country very much.
The night was very quiet, save for the crackling of the campfire and the occasional chirping of insects.
I didn't bother to break Ah Zi's contemplation, and looked back at the blonde Facai who was sitting crookedly on the side, his eyes slightly closed and drowsy, and it seemed that he couldn't talk to him about anything.
I had to cross my legs, close my eyes, and take advantage of the silence at this time, ready to meditate and repair the fatigue of my body.
As soon as my hands were sealed, my mind quickly became settled, and I remembered that this was my thirtieth birthday night, and it was impossible to spend such an important day in this way.
A wisp of divine consciousness began to rise, slowly emerging from the heavenly spirit cover, swept over the two friends who were silent in different forms, and then swept into the tent, looked at the groups of people who were sleeping, and then continued to fly into the darkness farther away, I want to try, how far can the power of divine consciousness fly after the age of thirty?
