Chapter 168: Five Poisonous Wines
The cotton was thrown in and soaked for a while, and the old man directly took it out of the jar with the scissors next to him, lifted my arm directly with his other hand, and pressed the wine-soaked cotton on top of my wound.
Originally, I didn't know that this wound hurt, but by this press, the hot pain, coupled with the wine carried on the cotton, directly entered the meat, and it was even more painful.
I gritted my teeth to keep myself from crying, and endured the great pain. When the old man saw my arm raised, he let go of his hand and picked up a small piece of wood from the side and stuffed it into my mouth. After pressing it for more than a minute, the old man took the cotton away, and my arm no longer had the strength to lift up, and it hung down.
The old man placed the cotton directly on the table and motioned for me to look up. The cotton, which used to be white, is now completely black, and it is stained with black liquid, which must have flowed from my wound. And on the black cotton, there are a few wriggling little insects with white flowers, that is, those maggots, after seeing it, I feel sick again.
There was a foul smell on the cotton, and I covered my nose with my hand. But the old man turned out to be fine, and when he saw that I didn't want to look at it anymore, he took out a match from his body and lit the ball of cotton. The lump of cotton, soaked in wine, was so close that I almost set my hair on fire from the flames.
When all the cotton was burned, and the room was already stinking and there was no one to treat, the old man went over and opened the door and motioned for me to go out with him.
As soon as the door was opened, Datou and Datuan fell directly into the house, and it turned out that they were lying on their stomachs outside the door and peeking through the crack in the door. The old man ignored them and walked straight past them. When Datou and Datuan saw me, they thought about greeting, but as soon as they wanted to speak, they covered their noses as fast as they could and ran out, the smell inside was too bad.
But it smelled bad, and I ran out as fast as I could, straight downstairs. The air outside was fresh in the end, and he took a few puffs greedily, and this time he noticed the big heads and big balls around him.
"Qiangzi, what the hell is that, why does it smell so bad?" When the big head spoke, he was still covering his nose with his hands.
"It's nothing, it's the old man of the Ah Feng family who helped treat my wound." As soon as I finished speaking, I felt a heart-piercing pain in my arm, which not only did not make me feel sad, but made me very happy. I didn't even feel such a big hole in my arm before, but now I feel it again, which must be a good thing.
At this time, the old man of the Ah Feng family walked up to me with some mashed herbs and gauze, and motioned for me to raise my arm to show him.
After the old man looked at it, he shook his head, and pinched both sides of the wound directly, as if to squeeze out something inside, and I could see the black liquid dripping on the ground.
Slowly, the black liquid turned from black to purple, dark red, and finally to blood red, and it was only then that the old man applied the herb to my wound and wrapped it in gauze. When the herbs were applied to the wound, it only felt cool, and the wound was no longer so hot and painful.
After doing all this, the old man directly ordered a pot of eye bags, sat in the courtyard and looked at the other side of the river, not knowing what he was thinking.
I touched Ah Feng with my shoulder and said to him: "Ah Feng, go and ask your old man, what the hell is going on with me, is it okay to do it like this?" ”
Although Ah Feng was very afraid of his old man, he still went. The old man sighed and beckoned all of us to come over. Several of us, including Kong Sanye, all sat on the ground around the old man, waiting for him to tell us about it.
The old man spoke very quickly, it was all Miao dialect, a few of us couldn't understand it, at first it was Ah Feng who was translating, but Ah Feng's Mandarin was not very good, and then all Ah Long translated it to us.
I'm really in the middle of the Gu, and this Gu is still a relatively rare child and mother Gu, generally raising Gu will only keep the last surviving ones all the time, but this child and mother Gu is special after all, when the Gu worms are fighting each other, the last remaining one is already about to lay eggs, and due to the influence of that environment, only one egg can survive in the end. Then this kind of child and mother Gu was born.
Unfortunately, the Gu on my body turned out to be a sub Gu, and the one on Leng Dao's body was the mother Gu. No wonder the cold knives have already died like that, and they can still run around, it turns out that many times it is the mother Gu who is in control.
The reason why I only started to have seizures now was because Zi Gu's strength was not strong enough to be dangerous to me at that time, but now that Zi Gu has been dormant in my body for so long, it has slowly grown up and begun to form a threat. If I hadn't discovered it earlier this time, maybe my body would have been in the same condition as the cold knife, and eventually my whole body would rot and die.
What's more, this kind of decay, I feel the pain of pulling the knife, if it wasn't discovered earlier this time, then my arm is probably really useless.
"Ah Long, ask the old man, what kind of medicine did he give me, is it okay in the future, don't worry?" This is the most important question for me, who wants to have a few more holes in themselves.
Ah Long communicated with the old man in Miao dialect, and the two of them exchanged for about five or six minutes before Ah Long turned his head to us. Several of us looked at him expectantly, hoping that he would quickly relay the old man's words.
Fortunately, the old man said that I was just the beginning, and the female Gu was parasitic on the dead person, so after his treatment, there was no major problem, but in the next few nights, this arm would hurt.
It's not a big deal, as long as it's not a big deal, as for the arm to hurt, it's normal, it's all rotten like that, if it doesn't hurt, it's probably not normal.
But the next thing is a little difficult for me. The old man said that the jar of wine was brewed with five kinds of poisons: lizard, toad, centipede, scorpion, poisonous snake and spider, and that was it, but what the old man meant was that if you wanted to eradicate the influence and let Zi Gu be eliminated from the body, you had to take the poison-soaked wine orally.
The thought of those formidable poisons is hard for me to swallow when I want to drink the wine I brew with them. I looked at the old man with pleading eyes, and Ah Long also saw my concerns, and went directly to communicate with the old man. But when I saw that the old man was still shaking his head, I knew that this wine had to be drunk.
Sure enough, Ah Long turned to me and said, "Qiangzi, you just drink, the old man said, that wine is to deal with the Gu in your body, and after you get the Zi Gu drunk, you will be completely safe." ”
Since the words have been said for this part, then I can only drink it, and thinking that there is a worm in my body, and it is still a Gu, I feel uncomfortable, so it is better to expel it from my body quickly.
After seeing me nodding, Aaron patted me on the shoulder, went back to the house and hugged the jar of wine, I looked at the jar of wine, and thought of the poisons inside, and almost couldn't help but vomit. Datou and Datuan all looked at me with sympathetic eyes, but unfortunately they couldn't drink for me.
Ah Feng went to the kitchen, took a bowl directly, poured a full bowl and handed it to me. This wine smells very fragrant, but this thing is really not something that ordinary people dare to drink. If the old man hadn't said that this thing was made of five kinds of poisons, even if I soaked cotton before, I would have unceremoniously raised my head and drank it, it was so fucking fragrant.
Picking up the bowl, my eyebrows probably turned into a ball, as if I was going to the execution ground. Because the right hand is still a little painful, the left hand is a little unstable holding the sea bowl, if you are weak and wait for a while, it is estimated that you will have to fall, take a deep breath directly, and take a sip of the wine in the sea bowl directly stuffy.
As soon as I finished drinking, before I could hand the bowl back to Ah Feng, I didn't know anything. I don't know how many years this wine has been put on, the strength of the wine is amazing, just my small amount of wine, I smelled a few smells before, I was already dizzy, this time I drank a big bowl, can you not get drunk.
Just two days after I arrived in Longxi Village, I was drunk twice, and when I woke up again, another day had passed. Ah Qing and Ah Long were supposed to go back yesterday, but they couldn't rest assured of me, so they didn't leave, of course, they didn't take much of the money given by Kong Sanye, they only took the share that should have been taken.
After waking up, my head still hurts, but my arm is not so painful, I looked at the gauze on my arm, it should be that the old man asked them to change my medicine again last night, but I didn't feel it at all.
Lying on the bed and not getting up, but thinking about what happened in the past two days, I remembered that the most important thing I hadn't inquired about yet, that is, what is the relationship between the old man of the Ah Feng family and his grandfather. There is another important thing that has to start with the old man of the Feng family, that is, the grandfather's codex.
The biggest trouble now is that several of us don't know how to speak Miao dialect, and there is no way to communicate directly with the old man, so many things are very inconvenient to say.
Just as I was thinking about these things, the door of the room was pushed open, and the person who walked in was beyond my expectations, not Datou and Datuan, nor Ah Qing and Ah Long, but the old man of Ah Feng's family. Out of respect for the old man, I immediately sat up and prepared to say hello, but the old man directly pressed me down, signaled that I didn't need to get up, and sat on the edge of the bed.
