After a while, the injured man's house was in front of him, and I saw him digging the ground in the field, and if it weren't for the blood seeping from the wound, he couldn't see that he was injured at all.

When the man saw Zhou Zheng, he hurriedly threw down his hoe and ran over with a deep foot and a shallow foot in the mud.

He crossed the Tianba, pounced on Zhou Zheng's knees and kowtowed a few times, and choked up: "Thanks to Engong for saving his life in the next life, Wang Yi will repay Engong's favor as a cow and a horse in this life." ”

Zhou Zheng stepped forward to help the man up and asked him to lead him to his home to speak. The man named Wang Yi had a wife, two daughters and a son and him, a total of five people. Of these five people, only Wang Yi is the one who takes the lead and bears the burden of supporting his family. Due to the indiscriminate collection of taxes by the imperial court last year, Wang Yi's family, which was not wealthy, was even worse, and he was so poor that he couldn't open the pot.

Wang Yi turned out the only remaining cabbage leaves at home and prepared to cook cabbage spicy soup to entertain guests. Zhou Zheng asked Wang Yi not to be polite. When he grabbed the other party's wrist, he deliberately checked the pulse again, and under the effect of "Returning Yuan Dan", Wang Yi's pulse beat more powerfully than before.

Zhou Zheng took out the purple grass and put it lightly on the "dining table" made of mud, and he instructed Wang Yi that this thing could only be used externally, and must not be taken internally.

Hearing the dog say that Zhou Zheng finally dug up the herbs from the mountain, and almost drowned in the swamp when he was collecting the herbs, Wang Yi's eyes were hot, and a tear welled up from his eyes. Zhou Zheng's eyes were sharp, and he found that there was something else in the tears, so Zhou Zheng moved the stool to Wang Yi's side, leaned over to pick up Wang Yi's lower eyelids, and a few small black "threads" writhed near the eyeballs. Zhou Zheng asked Wang Yi if he usually had a foreign body sensation in his eyes. Wang Yi shook his head.

This is strange! Zhou Zheng recalled that the officers and soldiers came to collect taxes and make trouble that day, and they kept beating Wang Yi with the back of their knives, but Wang Yi never snorted. Could it be that he doesn't feel pain?!

In order to confirm this matter, Zhou Zheng asked for the other party's consent and pressed his wound with his hand. Wang Yi's expression did not change at all.

Zhou Zheng asked, "Brother Wang, when did you start not knowing the pain?"

Wang Yidao: "What it looked like half a year ago. I remember that day when I was climbing a tree and pruning, I accidentally fell down, and strangely enough, a bamboo thorn pierced the skin on my leg at that time, and the blood flowed nonstop, but I didn't feel any pain at all. ”

Zhou Zheng probably knew what "Gu" Wang Yi had fallen into. In order to further confirm the conjecture, Zhou Zheng asked Wang Yi to uncover a randomly bandaged wound for him to see. "Sure enough, that's right!" Zhou Zheng's eyes lit up, and now he could be 100% sure that Wang Yi had fallen into the "Worm Eating Gu". This Gu is a method of chronic murder, mainly a colorless and odorless water is dropped into the food or tea eaten, once the other party drinks it, it will breed eggs in the body, this kind of eggs will choose to stay in the texture, and after hatching, they will slowly gnaw on the texture, or enter the bloodstream and wander around, although there are a lot of small insects, but the amount of food is not large, the person in this Gu will not die at once, but it will not survive a year and die violently.

It is not difficult to treat the "insect eating Gu", Zhou Zheng knows how to lift it, but the injured body is permanently unable to recover.

Zhou Zheng curiously asked Wang Yi who he had formed a relationship with on weekdays. Wang Yi didn't know the intention of the other party's words, and he couldn't answer for a while. Zhou Zheng told all the things that he had fallen for Gu, after all, there was nothing to hide about this kind of thing, knowing the truth of the matter would be beneficial to Wang Yi, at least he would be able to guard against those who were under Gu in the future.

Wang Yi thought for a long time before hesitating to inform Zhou Zheng of the falling out with his younger brother over an ancient artifact left by his father.

Zhou Zheng asked, "When did this happen?"

Wang Yi thought for a while and said: "About half a year ago, my younger brother who lived in a neighboring village owed a large amount of gambling debts outside, and he came to me to ask for money to pay off the debt. Engong, you also know, last year our town tax was too heavy, at that time the family couldn't get a penny, but my brother didn't care so much, he felt that we were perfunctory to him, so in our house rummaged through the cabinets to find money, after finding that there was really no money, he was furious, grabbed my collar and asked me to raise money as soon as possible, otherwise let me take a wooden comb left by my father. ”

"Hey, a wooden comb won't kill you. "The dog can't understand the mind of the Gu man.

"It's not an ordinary wooden comb, I heard my father say it's passed down from my ancestors. At that time, a certain ancestor was young and promising, handsome, but he was looked at by the fairy who secretly descended to earth, so he gave a comb as a token of love. The fairy went down to earth privately and still admired the human man, and was arrested and never saw each other again. But this token of love has always remained with the ancestors. Wang Yi carefully recalled the story his father told when he handed over the wooden comb to him, and he told Zhou Zheng all of it without reservation.

The dog teased: "Hey, it's all a lie, where are there gods in this world, why haven't I seen it." ”

"Ou, can you lend me the fairy thing?" Zhou Zheng was very curious about this object.

"Yes. Wang Yi did not hesitate, he took out a wooden comb wrapped in brocade cloth from the room and handed it to Zhou Zheng.

Zhou Zheng carefully looked at the wooden comb through the cloth, the comb was made of peach wood, and the surface depicted was rich in color.

Wang Yi told Zhou Zheng that he had an argument with his younger brother early that day, but fortunately his daughter-in-law stopped him so that it didn't cause a big disaster. Later, in the afternoon, his younger brother came again, and this time he brought a jar of old wine to share with Wang Yi, so Wang Yi left his younger brother to open the old wine and have a light meal together. The younger brother's face turned red, he always blushed when he lied, but Wang Yi never believed that his own brother wanted to kill him for selfish desires.

A good person did it to the end, and Zhou Zheng decided to help Wang Yi again. After all, when I came to his house, I knew how poor he was, and the three children were not clothed, so they basically didn't go out, and the clothes worn by the youngest son I met that day were given by Aunt Wang, who happened to live not far away, and it is said that her son wore them when he was a child. Coupled with the four walls of the family, the cabbage and spicy soup is on the nest, such a poor environment, but all bloody people will be moved and give the greatest help.

So, Zhou Zheng told Wang Yi that he would come back in the evening.

Because he was going to dig up the corpse and take the corpse oil for Wang Yi to treat his illness.

Digging people's new graves is such a sneaky and immoral thing that dogs are unwilling to do, so he is only responsible for sentry, Zhou Zheng took care of all the processes such as digging the pit and opening the coffin, he carefully took some corpse oil from the corpse and put it in a bottle, and then cut a small piece of carrion on the corpse that had just begun to decompose. It was carrion again, and Zhou Zheng couldn't help but retch.

Everything was ready, and Zhou Zheng came to Wang Yi's house again with two things.

The door was open, and as soon as Zhou Zheng and the dog entered the door, they saw Wang Yi sitting on a chair thoughtfully, and secretly touched his tears from time to time. Wang Yi said that he had asked his wife to take the children to live at her parents' house for two days, and he was afraid that if something happened to him, he would scare the children.

Zhou Zheng comforted Wang Yi, no matter what, he can still get rid of this little trick. Saying that, he asked Wang Yi to find a brazier to burn the fire, and then let him lie flat on the bed, take out the wrapped corpse oil and carrion and open it for later use.

Wang Yi couldn't help but shout: "It stinks!"

Zhou Zheng was afraid that Wang Yi would be afraid if he knew the truth, so he lied that this thing was magical, so it was slightly weird. Wang Yi closed his eyes in trust and said nothing more.

Zhou Zheng untied the wound on Wang Yi's chest again, the broken skin was bruised and purple, mixed with blade wounds, it seemed that the officers and soldiers had a lot of sneaky villains. Zhou Zheng carefully checked the depth of the wound, and he wanted to find the most seriously injured position.

"That's it!" Zhou Zheng said to himself. He took something out, sprinkled corpse oil on the wound, and then cut a small piece of carrion and pasted it. Fortunately, Wang Yi did not feel a trace of pain during the whole process, and he did not need to use hemp boiling powder in particular.

The dog pinched his nose and glanced at it, and said in disbelief, and he asked eagerly, "Such a lump of rotten ......." ”

Zhou Zheng hurriedly covered his mouth, glanced at him, and reminded him that before he came, he had said that he would not tell anyone about Zhou Zheng's "lack of morality" and digging graves for human flesh.

In a moment, the carrion was densely covered with small black threads and wriggling. The dog couldn't help but gasp and goosebumps fell to the ground. Originally, he smugly laughed at Zhou Zheng for not being able to smell the stench of rotten meat, but now it is his turn to be so disgusting that he wants to vomit.

Seeing that a piece of carrion was covered with small insects, Zhou Zheng covered his nose and grabbed the piece of meat with chopsticks and threw it into the brazier, and immediately a foul smell came out of the brazier. Then Zhou Zheng used a knife to cut out a piece of carrion and stick it in the old position, and this time there were still a lot of black worms that were drawn out...... After repeating this repeatedly, the Gu worm was finally cleaned up.

Zhou Zheng inspected Wang Yi's various wounds, then smashed the purple grass, soaked in water and carefully cleaned each wound. He instructed Wang Yi not to bandage his wounds anymore, so as not to backfire.

Although Zhou Zheng did not tell Wang Yi that he could only live for a few years, he knew his physical condition.

Wang Yi broke down emotionally again. Just for a comb that his father passed on to his eldest son, the younger brother killed each other regardless of family affection, and now I think that if the younger brother wanted to give it to him, he would not collapse his own body, maybe the family lived together for a long time, and he could enjoy the joy of family life in the future.

Wang Yi's matter is finally over. One of the reasons why he decided not to go to his brother after thinking about it for a long time was that there was no evidence, and even if the other party admitted it, he couldn't kill him with a knife, anyway, he was a brother who grew up together. Zhou Zheng and the dog left Wang Yi's house, tossing for so long, Zhou Zheng has not closed his eyes for a day and a night, and he plans to go back to sleep for three days and three nights.

He didn't go far, and suddenly Wang Yi caught up, he was panting and clutching his stomach and coughing violently. Zhou Zheng asked him not to be too anxious, his body had just recovered, and he still had to rest more, and if there was anything to do, he would sit down and rest for a while before it was too late.
