Chapter 2 Zhulindong, now snake Gu
We didn't understand what was going on, but when we saw our little butts running into the bamboo forest, we were afraid that something would go wrong, so we all followed.
There were four people in the woods, two little boys of about ten years old, one sitting and one standing, an old man with a bamboo basket on his back, and an upright old girl. The three of them were talking about something around the little boy who was sitting on the ground crying, and the little buttocks ran to the little boy with his head down, and shouted, "Gao, Gao, what's wrong with you?" Xiaohu, what's going on? ”
The boy who was standing Xiaohu also cried loudly, saying Sister Meimei, Brother Gao was bitten by a small snake with green oil - the little snake jumped out of there, and then nailed it to the top of the high thigh, not relaxing, I was frightened, when I called Grandpa Meng and Sister Yanzi from the side of the road, Gao Gao He has become like this, what should I do?
When we approached, we saw that the little child sitting on the bamboo leaf had a bruised face, and did not speak, his eyes were stunned, and his pupils were dilated and drifted downward. That Grandpa Meng and Yanzi had obviously just arrived here, and they discussed it in the local dialect and prepared to send the child to the village. When they began to prepare to lift the child, who was called Gao, my heart moved, and I reached out to stop him, and said slowly.
Everyone looked at me in unison and asked what was wrong?
I squatted down and rolled up the child's trouser legs, only to see that there were no obvious bite marks on the skin of the two layers of autumn pants, and pressed it on the position where Xiaohu gave me a finger, and when I touched it lightly, I began to scream like a nerd, and my snot and saliva flowed down together. I stood up with a solemn expression, and the old man who was called Grandpa Meng by the child leaned over and asked, "Hou Shengzi, do you know medicine?" ”
Let me understand a little bit, in your village, is there anyone who lives in a simple house on weekdays, does not socialize with people, lives in a single household, and goes to the house to take a look, the beams, roofs, and corners are very clean?
Meng Laohan tightened the back basket on his shoulders, stared at me for a while, and said Houshengzi, do you want to ask us here, who raises Gu?
I was stunned, this old man is an understanding person, not confused at all, so he also concealed it, nodded, and said yes. According to my observation, this little child's legs are not visible, shaped like a worm sting and invisible, there is yin qi erosion in it, and it is swimming all over his body, and he should have been bitten by someone's free-range snake Gu. Moreover, this snake Gu has become a climate, at this time, he cannot be moved by others, if he allows the Gu poison to flow along the qi and blood, after a few days, the Gu will turn into a form, or a snake, or a meat turtle, biting everywhere in the body, if there is no solution, he will not live for seven days.
Meng Laohan bowed to me with a fist, saying that the little brother has a pair of powerful eyes, yes, the Badong Han Dynasty established the county, and this village has always had this technique circulating, which is a vein of Jing Wu, but now, there are very few people who do this, and many people don't know, it is my generation, if there is no origin, I don't know. This matter is too big, and it is necessary to discuss it with the old people in the village.
I nodded, this village should have been a place where the witch wind was very strong before, otherwise it would not be possible to produce such a strange person as Wan Sanye.
The swallow girl next to Meng Lao Hantuo went back to the village to inform the old lady of the Wan family, asked his old man to be the coordinator, and called Xiaohu back to inform Gao Gao's parents so that they would know. The two of them answered, and he struck up a conversation with us. Only then did we know that the old lady of the Wan family, that is, the eldest brother of the third master of the Wan family, was also the speaker of the Wan family in this village, and he was the son-in-law of the Wan family, so we knew some details of the inside.
After learning about our intentions, Meng Laohan told us that Wan Sanye followed the boss of the Wan family into the mountain, and I don't know when Lu Dao will come back.
Lay his high body flat, raise his head a little higher, and let his little butt help take care of it, while Meng Laohan held a dry smoke gun and told us the reason. Originally, there is a ditch in the mountains behind this village for ten miles, the name is called the black bamboo ditch, the mountain is majestic, the forest is deep and the grass is dense, it is a great place to go, few people usually set foot in it, the local people call its import the ghost gate, even the hunters do not dare to enter, if you enter, you will definitely die.
Why do you say that?
Meng Laohan said that in the early days of liberation, there were more than 30 people in half of Hu Zongnan's remnants, who entered but disappeared; Three scouts of the People's Liberation Army entered Heizhugou from the direction of Qingtaiping, and only one platoon leader survived; In 1995, a surveying and mapping unit of the People's Liberation Army sent two soldiers to buy grain at Jiangang Mountain in Heizhugou, and disappeared through Heizhugou on the way, and only the weapons of the two were found later; In 1976, three members of the Enshi Senkan First Brigade disappeared in Heizhugou, and the people of the county were mobilized to search for them, but only three fleshless skeletons were found three months later......
There are many legends like this in the local area, so people in the vicinity dare not approach there, and call Heizhugou the Bermuda of Shennongjia, the valley of death.
It's such a dangerous place, and the villagers don't even talk about it.
However, Wan Chao'an's calf, but he didn't believe in this evil, yesterday he said that he drove the goat in, so anxious that his mother jumped to his feet, his father was in the city to help the country, a woman Taoist family can have any ideas, and begged his uncle in the dark, and then begged to Wan Sanye, the two of them entered the mountain at nine o'clock in the morning......
This relationship is a bit complicated, I listened to it for a long time before I figured it out: Wan Sanye's eldest brother Wan Lao Ye has two sons, the younger son is Wan Sanye's apprentice, that is, Wan Chao'an's father who had an accident, and the eldest son is the "uncle" who came to Wan Sanye early in the morning.
The two went into the mountains to look for Wan Chao'an, but they have not returned.
Then I realized that this was really a rush, and in the end we had another swoop.
When Daddy Meng mentioned Heizhugou, I found that Zhao Zhonghua's face was a little solemn, and when Daddy Meng finished talking about the reason for the incident, I asked him what was wrong? Zhao Zhonghua told us that he had heard his master talk about Heizhugou, where there was a war in ancient times and countless people died, but that was a long time ago, and then hundreds of thousands of years passed, although the descendants did not know, but it began to become a fierce place.
Someone once dug out bones there, white bones stacked on top of each other, piled up one after another, dignified, and when we heard this, our hearts began to be heavy: Although I don't know Wan Sanye, but when I hear about his deeds, we are more or less respectful; And if he can't come back, then our trip will be in vain. After a while, a group of people came running at the entrance of the village, and at the front was a middle-aged woman in plain clothes, crying loudly and calling my son, my son, and ran straight over.
This woman is a high mother, and she rushes over to pick up the child on the ground, and we stop it one after another, and we are strict about the pros and cons.
After she heard this, she sat on the ground, slapped the ground with both hands, and cried loudly: "Why is my baby like this, what's wrong?" He is the third generation of our old Gao family, and he is going to die, how can I and my men live? I saw a thin old man with a goatee, with a childish face, holding a dragon-descending wooden crutch, gently touching the weeping woman on the ground, and said dissatisfiedly, "Don't cry......
The woman was pinched by the throat and the eye and made no more noise.
When the little butt saw the old man, he immediately shouted happily, saying "old lady, old lady......
Only then did I understand that this person was Wan Sanye's eldest brother, Master Wan. The little butt is a child, I can't tell clearly, Daddy Meng next to him came up and explained the general situation one by one, when he said that I could see at a glance that the symptom was a snake Gu, and did not let people move the child, the old man looked at me for a while, and then bowed his hand and said thank me to the woman on the ground.
I waved my hand and said that it would be okay to raise my hand.
Zhao Zhonghua stepped forward and greeted Old Man Wan. He is Wan Sanye's apprentice, and this Wan Old Man is naturally his uncle.
Old Man Wan had never seen Zhao Zhonghua, but he knew that his third brother had such an apprentice, so he exchanged a few words of greeting, and he felt a little more cordial. After finishing speaking, Old Man Wan turned his head and looked at the little child lying on the ground. He didn't know anything about witchcraft, but he knew everything about the ten miles and eight towns, and he didn't check it anymore, so he turned around and asked a middle-aged man with a dark face, saying that Wang Mazi in the west of the village was at home?
The middle-aged man thought about it and said that it should be there, yesterday Wang Mazi and his wife were still chatting with people under the big locust tree at the head of the village, saying that his son has been at home all day long since he came back from work, and he doesn't do anything, but I don't know what to do. What, could it be that guy?
Old Man Wan raised his eyebrows and said that among these people in the village, all of them listened to my old man's greetings, and the villagers in the village, if such a thing really happened, they would naturally come out to solve it. But this guy, if he doesn't study well all day long, he thinks about how to get rich overnight and make a lot of money, and it is normal to secretly raise Gu. When I found him, I naturally knew.
At this point, Gao Gao, who had been lying on the mud floor, suddenly sat up straight in a daze, and then looked at us.
Gao Gao's mother was naturally so happy that she rushed over and hugged her child, howling and crying, saying that you are awake, child. After crying for a while, the bear child was able to walk, and the men next to him all said Alas, it was really a false alarm.
His mother was about to carry her doll home, but I reached out and stopped her.
Gao Gao's mother was strange, and asked why she was stopping her?
I said that your child has been tricked, don't look at it now, there is nothing to do, in the middle of the night, the Gu poison will turn into snakes, insects, rats and ants, and the whole body will be chaotic, and the pain will be great. If you can't solve it, you will die in less than seven days, will you dare to leave? She looked at the old man Wan next to her with some suspicion, and the old man said yes, this little brother Lu's words are true, let's go to Wang Mazi's house.
I don't know if my Golden Silkworm Gu can absorb this Gu poison, but even if I can really absorb it, I will have to wait until I catch up with the murderer, so I followed everyone and walked along the village road to the west of the village.
