Chapter 177: Ready to Go
Looking at the two big bowls in front of me, my heart has been struggling. Needless to say, the bowl of wine concocted with five poisons is disgusting to think about now; And the bowl of black medicine, my stomach has begun to churn when I ask about the taste, let alone drink it.
The old man looked at my hesitant expression and said, "Qiangzi, this bowl of medicine should be drunk while it is hot, if it is cold after a while, you will have to drink two bowls to have an effect." ”
As soon as I heard that I would have to drink two bowls later, I chuckled in my heart, this bowl was going to be killed, and if there were two bowls, wouldn't it be even more frightening. So, as soon as he gritted his teeth, he picked up the bowl of medicine and suffocated in one breath.
After drinking this bowl of medicine, he did not stop, nor did he care about the churning in his stomach, but immediately took the bowl of wine and drank it all. Thinking that after drinking this bowl of wine last time, I was directly drunk and unconscious, and this time I also thought about drinking this bowl of wine directly, and I didn't have to be afraid of the medicine I drank just now.
But after drinking this bowl of wine, it didn't fall down like last time, but only a little dizzy. After drinking it, my stomach churned even more, and the old man threw a bucket directly in front of me. After seeing this bucket, I couldn't hold back anymore and started to spit directly into the bucket.
At first, I vomited what I had eaten today, but then I was scared, it turned out to be bugs, a lot of bugs, alive, looking like maggots. I was frightened when I saw these bugs, and I raised my head to look at the old man in front of me, but when the old man saw me spit out these bugs, he was still nodding with satisfaction.
It wasn't until I couldn't vomit anything anymore that the old man handed me a bowl of water and told me to rinse my mouth. After rinsing his mouth, the old man handed me another bowl of black-looking liquid and motioned for me to drink it. I looked at the old man suspiciously, not knowing what kind of medicine this was.
"Hadron, drink, it's syrup water." Hearing the old man say this, I hurriedly picked up the bowl and poured it into my stomach, the two bowls I drank just now were bitter in my mouth, and there was a bowl of syrup water at this time, which was so good for me, it was too sweet.
"Old man, are the insects I spit out just now the Zi Gu you said?" After drinking the bowl of syrup water, he put down the bowl and asked the old man. The bugs that I spit out just now made me feel so terrifying, and the thought of having so many bugs in my stomach probably made everyone scared.
"Yes, now the sub-Gu in your body is clean, but you also have to pay attention, there are unknown dangers hidden everywhere in this Miao Territory, especially a few forbidden places, don't go, you go back." I always felt that there was something in the old man's words, but when I wanted to ask clearly, he had already waved me out.
When I returned to the room, Datou and Datuan were still waiting for me, I said a few words, and after the old man helped me drain the Zi Gu in my body, he ignored the two of them and fell asleep directly.
Datou and Datuan were a little excited when they heard the Zi Gu in my body completely discharged, but when they saw me like this, they didn't say anything, came over and patted me on the shoulder and said, as long as it is discharged.
I know that until now, I was still immersed in the pile of bugs that had just been discharged, and I felt disgusting to think about it, and I vomited so much just now, it was also very uncomfortable at this time, and I didn't even have the strength to speak, let alone look through my grandfather's codex, and I fell asleep not long after I collapsed on the bed.
When I woke up the next day, I was so weak that I was brought by the big head and the big group to eat, and they thought I was sick and were going to ask the old man to come and help me take a look. Ah Feng told us before that the old man is also a well-known doctor in Miaojiang.
The old man asked Datou and Datuan to get me into his room, and when the others retreated, only the two of us were left, the old man began to say: "Qiangzi, you are a normal phenomenon, when the Zi Gu is expelled from your body, it takes away part of the vitality, but the Zi Gu has not been in your body for a long time, so it is estimated that it will get better tomorrow, and you can make up for it when the time comes." If it takes too long, letting the Gu come out of the body is very likely to take away all the vitality. ”
After hearing what the old man said, I was relieved, and I was a little lucky, fortunately I came to Miao Jiang this time, otherwise, if I got sick in my hometown, I would definitely go to the hospital as soon as possible, and then treat it for a year and a half.
If I find a master to help me expel the Gu out of my body at that time, then I will definitely have to peel off my skin if I don't die, and now it's just a day and I don't have any energy.
This time I didn't stay long in the old man's room, and the old man called Ah Feng and asked them to carry me out and back to his room, and asked Ah Feng to tell Datou and Datuan what things to pay attention to. The old man didn't know why, he only spoke Chinese when I was there, and he spoke Miao when everyone else was there, so he didn't let them know that he could speak Chinese.
Several times I wanted to ask the old man why, but when the words came to my lips, I swallowed back stiffly, since the old man did this, he must have a purpose in doing so.
For the whole day, I lay in bed, without the slightest strength, and I couldn't pick up my grandfather's codex. It's been two or three days since I got the Codex, and I've only read a little bit of it, and it's still the part I already know.
I had already said that I would set off today, go up the river, and first find the mysterious lake to see if there are any traces left by my grandfather nearby. As you walk, you can also look at the codex left by your grandfather, which may contain a record of the places they visited last time, and maybe you can find something there.
But now I can only lie in bed in a daze, I have no strength at all, although the old man said that he will recover tomorrow, but now I have no confidence at all.
Big Head and Big Tuan they grilled fish outside, and when they came back yesterday they took so much fish, and now they have seasoning. The craftsmanship of the large group is good, the fragrance has drifted to my side, and all the things I ate yesterday have been vomited, and I am already hungry at this time.
Fortunately, I was not forgotten, and it didn't take long for Big Head to enter my room with a plate of two big fish. When I saw the fish, my eyes were shining, but I had no strength to take them, so I had to rely on my big head to feed me. Fortunately, this fish is relatively large, and there are no spines, otherwise it would be impossible for me to eat it without getting a stab in my throat.
"Qiangzi, let's eat less first, the meal from the Ah Feng family is almost ready, eat more when it is better later, today's meal is personally prepared by the old man of the Ah Feng family, and it is said that it is good for your injury recovery." The big head brought two fish, one and a half of which he let him eat, and said that I had to keep my stomach for dinner.
Sure enough, within a few minutes of the big head leaving, Ah Feng brought the food over, just now he ate some fish, and now he can barely sit up by himself, and he is not polite, he first drank the bowl of porridge in one go, and then began to eat.
It was a beautiful night's sleep, and by the time I woke up, the day had already passed, and the next morning. I tried to sit up, and I found that the situation was good, and my whole body was full of strength, and it seemed that I could start today.
After Kong Sanye and the crooked mouth got up, the five of us briefly discussed it and decided to leave today, as for how long we won't know.
Before breakfast, we packed all the luggage, and said hello to Ah Feng at breakfast, after eating, we went on the road again, as in the previous two days, first along the river, but this time, it will definitely be more than the last time, and go farther.
"Qiangzi, you can't do it, if you can't do it, don't be strong." I walked in front with a dragon pattern knife, and the big head asked with some concern next to me. Yesterday I was bedridden and didn't have any strength at all, and today I have to get up and walk a long way, so it's no wonder that the big head is worried.
"Don't worry, big head, I'm fine, the medicine of the old man of the Ah Feng family is really good, and he has fully recovered today." I usually speak, swinging the dragon pattern knife around, signaling that I have chosen to be full of strength.
Walking to the place where the fish was caught that day, the big head took out the big plastic bag again, caught a bag full of fish, said that he brought seasoning when he left this time, and the grilled fish must be better than the last time, and catching so many fish here may save us some rations, and no one knows how long we will be able to come back this time.
The important thing is that now that it is autumn, there is no need to worry about the fish going bad if it is left out for a long time, and it is more reassuring that it can be stored for a long time.
It wasn't long before we reached the waterfall again, and this time instead of going up from the falls, we followed the river where the big heads had walked before. It was really the same as the big head they described, it was too quiet, and the silence made people a little scary.
And as the big head said, this is the place described in Grandpa's diary, if I remember correctly, the lake described in Grandpa's diary should be nearby, and after arriving at that lake, we should be able to find the traces left by Grandpa.
Just as we continued to walk forward for half an hour, ready to sit down and rest, the big head stood up, pointed to the water and shouted at us: "Qiangzi, Kong Sanye, you hurry up and look there, what is that?" ”
