Probably because the sky was not completely dark before, and the light of the oil lamp was not very bright, and the house was some distance from the village, Chen Ziyang and Yang Lei had not seen the lights before.

Now it was completely dark, and although the light of the little oil lamp in the distance was very faint, it was very obvious in the dark night.

In this isolated mountainous area, the oil of the oil lamp is very precious, and when the oil lamp is on, it means that there must be someone there, so Chen Ziyang and Yang Lei hurriedly walked towards the lights in the distance.

The house was isolated from the whole village, but it was not too far away, and when the two men came to the door, they found that although the door was not open, it also left a gap that was not narrow, from which the light of the oil lamp came from.

Two people looked through the crack in the door, and the whole room was not large, and it was full of people. Chen Ziyang roughly counted them, and there were no less than 20 people in the house, all men and women, and it seemed that the people in the entire village had gathered here.

These people are dressed in ethnic minority costumes, men and women, all of them are dressed in navy blue. There are only some simple lace decorations on these national costumes, and the two people do not know which nationality they are.

The people in the room were tightly huddled, as if they were looking at something in the middle of the crowd, but because these people were so dead, they couldn't see the situation inside from the direction of the two people.

Although there were a lot of people in the room, the room was very quiet, and after the two of them looked at it for a while, they slowly pushed open the door and walked into the house.

Hearing the footsteps of the two, some people in the room turned their heads and looked at Chen Ziyang and Yang Lei, with doubts in their eyes. However, they did not express their dissatisfaction, and after seeing that the two people who had come in did not speak for a while, they turned their heads again.

Chen Ziyang and Yang Lei slowly spread along the outside of the room to the other side of the room, where there were several chairs, and the two of them sat down on the chairs and looked at the center of the crowd.

A simple wooden bed was placed in the center of the house, and the two dozen people in the room were watching around the wooden bed, and on the wooden bed, there was still an old man.

This old man is in his 50s, and part of his beard has turned white. The old man's expression was very painful, and drops of sweat oozed from his forehead. He clenched his teeth and closed his eyes, but he could tell that he was awake, as if he was suffering from some kind of illness.

Chen Ziyang's gaze moved downward, and he saw that one of the old man's trouser legs had been completely cut, revealing a very strange right leg.

The leg was swollen very much below the knee, and the whole calf was purple and black. The thickness of the calf has exceeded that of the thigh, and because of the swelling, the calf looks shiny and shiny.

The calf looks like a huge balloon filled with water, as if it will burst completely at the slightest touch. With the contrast of the normal leg next to it, the weirdness of this leg is even more revealed.

A man was half-squatting on the ground, carefully examining the old man's sick leg, apparently wanting to treat the diseased leg.

As soon as they saw this man, Chen Ziyang and Yang Lei's eyes lit up at the same time. The man's clothes were obviously different from the rest of the room, and he was wearing a set of mountaineering clothes, although this was a very ordinary outfit, but it was particularly eye-catching among the many ethnic minority costumes.

"Er Yang, could he be the Shangguan Kangning we are looking for?" Yang Lei's question is exactly what Chen Ziyang is thinking about now.

In such an inaccessible and isolated mountain village, there is not a single outsider all year round. If these people didn't come to Shangguan Kangning, they might not come here for the rest of their lives.

The person who was checking the injured leg was obviously an outsider, and Chen Ziyang estimated that the probability that he was Shangguan Kangning was more than 90%, which was really nowhere to find the iron shoes, and it took no effort to get there.

"What the hell is wrong with that old man's leg?"

After the two of them guessed that the person in front of them was Shangguan Kangning, their mood was all relaxed, and there was nothing to worry about, so they focused on the patient.

"It seems to be a very serious venous thrombosis, which is also in a place where this kind of bird does not, if it were in the city, such a serious condition, this leg may have been amputated." Chen Ziyang carefully stared at the person suspected of being Shangguan Kangning, wanting to see how he would treat this diseased leg.

The whole sick leg showed a purple-black-purple-black color, and it was so swollen that it seemed that it had been sick for a long time, and even if it was taken to the best hospital, the doctor would have no choice, and there was only one way to treat it, that is, amputation.

The man in the mountaineering suit looked around the sick leg for a while, then nodded, then raised his head and said something to the people present in a language that Chen Ziyang and Yang Lei did not understand, as if he was telling his opinion to the others.

And many of the villagers around opened their mouths to speak. In this way, the man in the mountaineering suit discussed with the villagers for a while, and as if he had reached an agreement, he nodded solemnly and rummaged through a backpack nearby.

Chen Ziyang and Yang Lei listened to the conversation of these people like ducks listening to Lei, they should be speaking the language of this ethnic minority, and the two of them didn't know anything at all, so they could only guess the general meaning from the expressions of these people.

And just after the man in the mountaineering suit took out something from his backpack, Chen Ziyang patted his thigh lightly, "Come on, this person is Shangguan Kangning, he didn't run!" ”

What the man pulled out of his backpack was a clear glass bottle that looked like a test tube, and in this glass bottle was a small black worm the size of a grain of rice, crawling around the bottle.

In Shangguan Qing's house before, Chen Ziyang had seen this kind of insect, and there was no doubt that it should be a Gu worm. It seems that Shangguan Kangning is preparing to use these Gu worms to treat the diseased leg. This is also just right, Chen Ziyang cheered up, he wanted to see Shangguan Kangning's skills.

After measuring the sick leg with his fingers for a while, Shangguan Kangning first took out a knife and burned it a few times on the flame of the oil lamp, which was supposed to be disinfecting. After the sterilization, he used the knife to make a small cut in the ankle of the sick leg, and then inserted the tip of the knife into the ankle of the sick leg.

Unlike Chen Ziyang's imagination, after the tip of the knife was inserted into the sick leg, not much blood flowed out, but some viscous transparent liquid flowed out. Then Shangguan Kangning used the knife to stick some black-brown ointment into a medicine bottle and smeared the ointment on the edge of the knife.

When applying the ointment to the knife edge, Shangguan Kangning gently squeezed the side of the knife, as if he wanted to squeeze the black-brown ointment into the knife edge. After sticking the ointment several times in succession, all of them were squeezed into the knife with the back of the knife, Shangguan Kangning picked up the test-tube-like bottle.

As he shook, the black Gu worms in the test tube became active, crawling on the walls of the bottle. Seeing that the insect was in good condition, Shangguan Kangning pulled out the cap of the bottle, and then pressed the mouth of the bottle under the knee of the sick leg.

As soon as they came into contact with the human body, the Gu worms in the bottle became more active, these Gu worms gathered at the bottom of the bottle, like some black liquid, kept crawling in circles, and after a while, Chen Ziyang saw that there seemed to be fewer Gu worms in the bottle.

As time passed, the number of Gu worms in the bottle decreased significantly, and at this time, a lot of transparent liquid was squeezed into the bottle from below.

"Oh my God, these bugs can't get into that sick leg! This...... This is also not afraid of infection? How many germs are there on the bugs! Yang Lei whispered in Chen Ziyang's ear.

Not only was Yang Lei so surprised, Chen Ziyang also felt that this treatment method was a bit incredible, but he didn't understand Shangguan Kangning's intention for the time being, so he didn't answer Yang Lei's question, but continued to look carefully.

After a while, the black Gu worms in the bottle had all disappeared, leaving a hole the size of a soybean grain in the sick leg.

Now there were only some bloodshot transparent liquids in the bottle, and these liquids had already filled half of the bottle, but even so, Shangguan Kangning still pressed the bottle and did not let go of his hand.

A large bag bulged out on the sick leg near the bottle, and this big bag was still wriggling, obviously the Gu worms that were in the bottle before had all burrowed into the sick leg and were gathering under the skin.

Seeing this kind of scene that can only appear in the movie, Yang Lei's stomach churned, he felt a wave of nausea, and gritted his teeth to prevent himself from throwing up.

Although Chen Ziyang also felt a little uncomfortable when he saw the scene in front of him, his attention was already focused on Shangguan Kangning's treatment, and he didn't have as much reaction as Yang Lei.

The big bag held up by Gu worms on the sick leg squirmed for a while, and then slowly became smaller, and it was obvious that those Gu worms had already burrowed into the depths of the sick leg.

At this time, the old man lying on the plank bed screamed miserably and kicked his sick leg violently, but was held down by Shangguan Kangning. The patient was sweating profusely, and his expression of pain was even worse, and it seemed that the penetration of those Gu worms had brought him even more pain.

At this time, some sweat also appeared on Shangguan Kangning's forehead, and he hurriedly said a few words to the people around him, and then several male villagers came over and helped him press the old man's limbs together.

Chen Ziyang and Yang Lei hurriedly adjusted the position where they were sitting, found a gap between several villagers, and continued to look.

Not only the two of them, but the other villagers also watched intently, and they didn't dare to come out, for fear of disturbing Shangguan Kangning's treatment. At this time, in the whole room, there was no sound at all except the old man's screams of pain.

After a while, some black-brown liquid flowed out from the knife that had been cut by Shangguan Kangning before. Chen Ziyang noticed that some of the flesh inside the knife that had been cut open had been turned out, as if something was pushing from the inside out.

Sure enough, a few seconds later, a black Gu worm came out of the knife edge, followed by another one, and then more and more Gu worms came out of the knife edge, and they were all lined up. With the drilling out of these Gu worms, in addition to the black-brown liquid, some dark red blood also flowed out of the knife edge, accompanied by a fishy smell.

At this time, the old man's screams were louder, and his body was also writhing because of the pain, but several people around him pressed him to death, and it was useless for the old man to struggle, so he could only keep screaming there.

Seeing the Gu worm come out of the knife edge, Shangguan Kangning breathed a sigh of relief. He hurriedly removed the test-tube-like glass bottle from his sick leg and poured the clear liquid inside onto the ground.

The Gu worms that had burrowed out of the diseased leg were lined up like ants, crawling straight towards the vicinity of their knees, and burrowing into the hole that had been drilled out by these Gu worms before.

"Oh my God, are these still bugs? How can it be like those nanobots in science fiction movies, these Gu worms are not helping to open the embolic veins! What is happening in front of him has subverted Yang Lei's perception of medical common sense.

Chen Ziyang nodded, it seems that Yang Lei guessed correctly, after these bugs burrowed into the thighs, they should be drilling forward along the embolic blood vessels, and it is very likely that these bugs will also bring out a small piece of bruising, and then drill out from the knife edge to bring out the congestion that embolized the blood vessels.

These Gu worms are like tireless workers, constantly burrowing in and out of this sick leg.

At this time, the black-brown liquid no longer flowed out from the incision, all the blood flowed out, and the color of the blood flowing out was getting lighter and lighter, no longer purple-black, and it seemed that the treatment should be almost over.

The old man lying on the plank bed had fainted, not knowing what was happening, but the eyes of the surrounding villagers were all surprised.

Because they noticed that the swelling of the old man's sick leg had been reduced a lot, although it was still much larger than the other leg, but it was obvious that some bark-like folds had appeared on the surface of the sick leg, which could only appear when the edema subsided rapidly and the skin was tightly together.

The color of the blood flowing from the knife edge became lighter and lighter, and it was not until it turned the color of blood that Shangguan Kangning nodded, picked up the wiped bottle again, and put it on the path of the Gu worm. One by one, these Gu worms burrowed into the bottle.

After bandaging the two holes in the sick leg, Shangguan Kangning turned his head to look at Chen Ziyang and Yang Lei and asked, "Who are you?" ”
