Although the hut only has two rooms, we can still live in it after we clean it up. The outhouse is easy to clean, but the inner room is really hard to describe. As soon as I opened the curtain and entered, I saw several human skins piled up on the dusty ground, from an eighty-year-old woman to a four-year-old child.

One by one, we carried them out and found a high slope not far away, where we buried them simply. In this way, I worked until late at night before I went back to rest.

Early the next morning, a knock woke us up, and when we opened the door, we saw that it was the old Taoist priest from last night, only to see him holding his white beard and smiling: "Sorry, disturbing your dreams." ”

I saw that everyone was awake, so I opened the door to greet him: "You're welcome, come in and sit down." ”

The old Taoist priest sat on the chair facing the door, and we sat or stood, distributed around him.

"Dao Chief, why are you here again today? Can I help you? The little tail was sleepy-eyed, and as he spoke, he yawned.

"Don't hide it from you, Poor Dao thinks you can still use Poor Dao, so I'm here."

Pin Qilei seemed to be angry to get up, and his voice was extremely high: "You old man, aren't you here to cheat and cheat." ”

"Master, husband, he is the Taoist chief, and he saved He Yunwei! He came to visit him, what's wrong? Little Tail was blown to sleep by his voice and pouted.

Before he could speak again, the old Taoist priest shook off the dust and said leisurely: "Yes, it's not right." ”

"Go, go, I hate your stinky Taoist priest's tricky rhetoric the most. Walk! You're not welcome here! "Pin Qilei stepped forward to pull up the Taoist priest.

I grabbed the sleeve of the pin and pulled it back, and I walked forward quickly, asking the Taoist priest about the meaning of what he had just said.

"It is the duty of the poor Taoist to come and see the person who has been injured by the ghost, which is 'right', and in addition, I have to come to help someone, so it is also 'wrong'."

Little Tail hurriedly asked, "Who, Dao Chief?" ”

The old Taoist priest tapped my direction with a whisk, and I quietly moved a few steps to the side, but the dust still pointed at me. The Taoist priest smiled: "Don't hide, it's you!" ”

I sneered, "What can I do to help?" ”

"You can answer a few questions first, and then you will understand."

"Dao Chief, excuse me."

"You have a lot of internal strength, but you can't use it for a long time, right?"

I nodded.

"This situation that cannot be used for a long time, is it reflected in the fact that once you work hard, it will be as short as half an hour or as long as several hours, and you will have pain all over your body and vomit blood in your mouth?"

I froze for a moment, then nodded.

"It looks serious on the surface, but after a short break, it can get back to normal, right?"

I pondered, and then asked, "You're all right, but what's the solution?" ”

"Qi training."

"Qi training?"

"Your skills are not high in the first place, maybe by chance others have lost tens of thousands of years of skills to you, but after all, you have not cultivated your body to the extent of adapting to these skills, so you often have to use all your strength to cast spells. And when you run out of strength, you will naturally be sore and even vomit blood. He paused, "However, after practicing Qi, it is different, not only can you cast spells easily, but you can also last for a long time. ”

"So how should I practice?"

The old Taoist priest smiled mysteriously: "Go and grab the medicine first, and after curing this little brother, you can practice together." I'll teach you well. ”

He Yunwei took medicine for nearly twenty days, and there was still no sign of awakening, and the doctor once said that he would be able to get better in half a month, but now it seems to be a word of comfort. Every day, I am depressed and unhappy, and I often start to stay in the middle of things. Therefore, I always took advantage of my inattention to suddenly burst out, or yelled loudly to scare me, and succeeded no less than ten times. And the little tail was by my side, chasing and beating her master and husband at every turn, causing laughter and laughter in the house, which can be regarded as joy in sorrow.

Whenever I sat next to He Yunyao, the old Taoist priest would appear and look at us silently. One day, I finally couldn't help myself, and asked him why he was always like this, and he slowly said a poem, which I couldn't get back to my senses after listening to it for a long time:

The sun rises in the east and rains in the west, and the road is sunny but sunny.

This poem, using the weather as a metaphor, hints at the subtle psychology of a woman after hearing her lover's singing. The old Taoist priest said this, which can be described as concise and to the point, how could I not understand. But he still pretended not to understand: "Dao Chief, it has been snowing for the past few days, where is the rain?" ”

He didn't answer, but walked out of the house, muttering to himself: "I have always been young and limited, and it is easy to lose my soul when I leave in leisure." Wine feasts and songs. The mountains and rivers are empty, and the falling flowers and wind and rain hurt the spring even more. It's better to take pity on the people in front of you. ”

It's better to take the people in front of you.

Aunt Hui also said so, so I agreed to walk with He Yunwei again. Today, the Taoist chief said, but I can't, and I don't dare, and I have a further relationship with He Yunwei. Perhaps, I have been deceiving myself, as long as I don't admit this feeling, I won't see it, and I won't take advantage of it. However, I didn't know that our love affair had reached a point where everyone could see it. Does it still make sense for me to be so?

He Yunwu and I may be running away from this relationship, his disguise is to be enthusiastic about all women, and my disguise is to be cold and ruthless to everyone.

It was late at night, and I was still guarding He Yunxian as usual.

I held He Yunyao's hand, leaned on his ear and said softly: "He Yunyao, you have been asleep for more than ten days, open your eyes and talk, you are usually the most talkative of us." Now...... Why didn't you say it? ”

"Heh, you stingy ghost, you saved me once, I'm afraid that I won't repay you, so you've been following me. Now, you've saved me again, okay, here's the opportunity, you can force me to take care of you to repay the favor, right? ”

"He Yunwei, wake up, I beg you?"

"I promise you, as long as you wake up, I will never interrupt you again, you can say whatever you want, say that the earth is desolate, and when it comes to the dry sea and rocks, I will no longer care about you. Not only does it matter, but I also accompany you to say that even if it is a vicissitude, you will never regret it, okay? ”

"Alas, it's just a stingy ghost, don't wake up, save me from bothering me every day...... Hey, you're not really awake, are you? Don't be angry, I'm kidding. ”

"He Yunwei, if you don't wake up, I'll beat you, you said, you've been beaten since you were a child. I thought, are you not used to being beaten by no one, I beat you? ”

I stretched out my hand to make a gesture to strike, but when my two hands came out, one wiped my tears, and the other touched his face, rubbing it tremblingly.

The lights were dim, and his originally thin face was even more haggard at this time, and his lips were even more bloodless, with a layer of dry skin on them.

I poured half a glass of warm water, dipped it in a spoon, gently smeared his chapped lips, and said with a slight smile: "I have to take care of your lips, otherwise you won't be able to tell me what to do in the future?" It's water, and it's going to dry up soon, but it's ......."

I suddenly remembered the tea that the Paint Ghost had prepared for us that day.

If it is only about the trauma, He Yunwei should have recovered as before, but he has not woken up yet, is it related to the fact that he drank tea?

I put down the cup, woke up the old priest, and told him about it. He was astonished, and hurriedly put on his clothes, and came to inspect it. It doesn't matter if you look at it, you found out that he was actually poisoned!

The old Taoist priest frowned: "This kind of Gu Poor Dao has never been seen before, it is said to be Gu poison, but it did not cause any abnormal symptoms of the host, but lay here unharmed." ”

"Gu is Gu after all, on the surface, it is true that he is just unconscious, but how bad it is on the inside, we don't know at all." I said anxiously.

"Don't worry, I'll ask him to see how it is now." As he spoke, the Taoist priest disappeared suddenly.

After a while, the old Taoist priest suddenly appeared with the doctor of that day, and he didn't care about greetings, so the doctor hurriedly cut his pulse. Shortly after his hand put his pulse on it, it retracted. At the same time, the doctor took a breath of cold air: "This ...... This ......"

"What's wrong?" I asked eagerly.

Now, his pulse is weak, and his breath is like a gossamer, all because of the severe wound in his skull. However, on the surface, there is no bruising, it must be brain damage, and the brain is the sea of marrow, which is the most complex and difficult to treat. As he spoke, he sighed, "This disease is extremely suspenseful, but it is more like Gu poison, if you find a witch doctor, you may be cured." ”

The old Taoist priest nodded: "This is indeed ......"

"Huh? What do you do when you don't sleep in the middle of the night? Pin Qilei rubbed his hands and came out.

"He Yun is worried about Gu." After I squeezed out this sentence, my throat hurt, and I couldn't say more than half a sentence.

After hearing this, Pin Qilei laughed heartily: "Zhong Gu? This kid is really greedy, and he eats all insects! ”

What a schadenfreude!

It's not just me, it's everyone in the room who thinks the same way.

Seeing the solemn expressions of the others, he stopped smiling, and sat down in a precarious position: "I will solve the Gu." I won't hide it from you, my housekeeper since I was a child is an old man, proficient in all kinds of witch doctors and poison methods, I have heard and seen it, and naturally there will be a lot. ”

As he spoke, he looked at He Yunwu carefully, who was originally still smiling, but now he had a heavy expression. Then, he checked it several times before he stood up and said to us: "The brain is the first step, when the Gu worm finishes eating the brain, it will go all the way down and eat other organs, until all the flesh and blood are in its belly, and the person will only be left with an empty skin sac, and the Gu worm will crawl out of its mouth." ”

Skin-painters are vicious! said that it was a choice, but in fact, it wanted us all to die, so that it could take the skin and continue to harm others! It's not enough to use your own techniques, but you have to learn from others to use Gu, old treacherous and cunning, old treacherous and cunning!

My voice trembled: "That...... What to do? ”

He said, "Either you ask for a witch or a witch, or you ask for a witch doctor, there is no other way." ”

When the old Taoist priest heard this, he immediately took the doctor away, saying that by the way, please see if those people are willing to come. After finishing speaking, he stretched his waist and wanted to sleep.

At this moment, there was a knock on the door.

It can't be the old Taoist, if he comes back, he will appear directly and stand in the house, after all, someone in the house is awake, and he won't scare anyone. And if it weren't for him, who would it be so late?

Someone outside the door shouted: "Xiaosheng passed through here, missed the time to enter the city, and there is nowhere to go at this time." Seeing that the lights in the house are still on, can I stay overnight? ”
