Chapter Ninety-One: The Medicine Man

Originally, after the second uncle explained the principle of this lamp, I naively thought that the strange phenomena just now were all our exaggerated conjectures.

Why are the lights suddenly on in the tent? Why did the lights suddenly turn green? Why are those face beetles scared away? When all of this came up with a reasonable explanation, it suddenly dawned on me that there was nothing to be afraid of.

But when we saw that the female corpse had a broken arm, in an instant, a strange atmosphere filled the entire tent!

Kong Xue looked at me with a hint of fear in her eyes, "You mean, the severed hand that pulled you just now is actually this woman's?" ”

I nodded, "There has been no rotten hand, and a female corpse that has not decomposed, and the female corpse is missing a hand, this kind of coincidence is almost impossible, the only explanation is that this hand is a female corpse." ”

Kong Xue looked at the female corpse, "But why did she die here?" And how did her hand break! ”

Shi Tao squatted next to the female corpse, checked it and said, "This woman should have been strangled to death." As he spoke, he looked over the woman's neck, "There are some purple spots that are clearly visible. In addition," said Shi Tao, who picked up the female corpse's hand again, "Look at her severed wrist, this wound surface is very neat, obviously a very fast knife, cut off with one knife!" ”

Kong Xue sighed and shook her head, "Killing her and cutting off her hand is simply too cruel!" ”

Shi Tao's words caught my attention, a quick knife, cutting off the wrist, this technique is very similar to the knife technique that killed Tan Da's master.

I suddenly had a guess, and I couldn't help blurting out: "Could it be that she is also Tan .......?"

Before I finished speaking, I suddenly found that the second uncle had taken off the shoes of the female corpse, and all of us looked at the second uncle's actions for unknown reasons.

After the second uncle took off the shoes of the female corpse, he exposed the ankle of the female corpse, and a round red spot appeared on her ankle.

Shi Tao squatted down and looked at it and asked, "Elder Zhuo, what's going on?" ”

The second uncle looked at me, "You guessed right, this is indeed a member of the Tan family, and it is not an ordinary Tan family, it is a medicine man!" ”

"Medicine man?" This is the first time we have heard this statement.

The second uncle nodded and said: "The Tan family is located in the southwest, and those places are mostly jungle wetlands, full of poisonous insects, snakes and ants, so the Tan family has very unique opinions on the use of medicinal herbs, and even in medical skills, so I once said that our family's medical skills are simply not worth mentioning compared to the Tan family." ”

I pointed to the red spots on the woman's body and said, "Then what does this mean, and what does it have to do with what you said?" ”

"Don't worry," the second uncle continued, "Every time the Tan family goes out to support the pot or pour the bucket alone, they will carry medicines to repel poisonous insects and detoxify. But this method can't deal with all situations, especially in those ancient tombs, you never know what you'll encounter, so the ancestors of the Tan family came up with a medicine man plan! ”

"The Medicine Man Project?" Listening to the second uncle's explanation, I unconsciously got goosebumps.

The second uncle said: "It is to take a child of the Tan family, since he was a child, he has been bitten by some poisonous insects or poisonous snakes that are not very toxic, so as to produce anti-poisonous ingredients in the body, and wait until the human body is completely adapted, and then use more poisonous insects, snakes and ants to bite, and then with some herbs, and so that the child becomes an adult, the body produces strong anti-venom antibodies, so it is almost not afraid of any poisonous insects and poisonous snakes, and with the secretion of sweat, as well as the emission of body odor, it can even disperse various poisonous insects." ”

I couldn't help but be a little surprised, "Damn, it's so powerful!" Just like the plot in the Legend of the Condor Heroes, Guo Jing drank the snake blood of the big snake raised by Liang Ziweng and became invincible, but he didn't expect that there would really be such a thing in reality. ”

The second uncle nodded, "Yes, it's just that these cultivated medicine people will not live very long, no matter how he maintains and recuperates, he will not live past the age of forty at most!" These medicine men were initially bitten by poisonous insects from their ankles, because they were far away from the heart, and the toxins did not attack the heart immediately. However, there will be a red spot left on the ankle, so I concluded that this female corpse is the medicine man of the Tan family! Moreover," the second uncle suddenly lowered his voice unconsciously, "I heard that this medicine man, in the process of inverting the fight, is basically at the forefront, and is completely the role of cannon fodder, so it is generally taken by the partial branch of the Tan family, or a clansman with a bad background, so once this medicine man dies, he is extremely resentful, and it is very easy to become a corpse!" ”

As soon as the second uncle's words fell, the light from the small lamp on the table suddenly changed from green to yellow! It scares me a lot! Not only me, but everyone's faces changed.

I said to my second uncle, "Second uncle, isn't it inappropriate for us to tell ghost stories in this kind of place!" ”

The second uncle smiled, "It's the same!" ”

Kong Xue hugged her shoulder, "I also feel that it is suddenly a little cold here, those face beetles have left, let's hurry up and leave!" ”

"Good!"

I looked at the small lamp still on the table and asked, "What about this lamp?" Is it always lit here? ”

The second uncle glanced back and said: "This kind of lamp, the production process is complicated, the material is also special, it is relatively rare, it must be the beloved thing of this woman before her death, let's not take the love of others!" Let's leave it here, after we leave, it will be quiet, the flap will no longer move, the air inside will run out, and the wick will naturally go out. ”

I was a little surprised by what the second uncle said, listening to his statement, this kind of small lamp seems to be quite precious, and the second uncle didn't even think of taking it away, which made me really impressed with the second uncle!

Then I heard the second uncle continue: "Although this lamp is good, it is not an antique after all, it is a handicraft at most, and it can't be sold at a price!" ”

I suddenly felt helpless, and the reverence for my second uncle just now disappeared without a trace in an instant.

The second uncle walked to the front of the tent door and stretched out his hand to pry, but he didn't open it, and the second uncle couldn't help but let out a "huh".

We followed behind and saw this situation, and we were also puzzled, the zipper at the door of the tent had fallen off just now, and it was impossible for the door to be closed again, but at this time, the door of the tent did seem to be glued together by something.

My heart suddenly hung in the air, something wasn't right! I slowly turned my head to look at the female corpse lying on the ground.

Kong Xue saw my movements in the back, and immediately understood what I meant, gasped, subconsciously hid two steps back, trembled, and asked me: "You mean, the door was closed by this female corpse!" ”

My heart also began to beat hard, and I nodded slightly, "I don't know either." ”

I looked at the second uncle, "Second uncle, what's going on at the door?" ”

The second uncle opened a crack from the top of the tent entrance, stretched out his head to take a look, and immediately shrank back, his face became a little ugly, "It seems that we have something to do!" ”

I didn't quite understand what the second uncle meant, so I walked over with courage, and followed the example of the second uncle, and poked my head out of the gap above. I looked down and immediately felt a numb scalp, only to see that the place where the entrance and exit of the tent was originally zipped was now pinched together by a severed hand!

"Holy!" My heart couldn't help but tighten, and I quickly retracted my head, I turned my head to look at the female corpse on the ground, "Sister, we don't know each other well, it's useless for you to hold us, you should be reincarnated, you should be reincarnated, you should be born, we are passing!" ”

Kong Xue was furious by me, "What are you doing?" ”

I cried with a sad face, "It seems that this eldest sister is unwilling to let us go, so she pinched the door!" ”

"What?"

Shi Tao popped his head out and looked at it, came back with a grim face and whispered two words in Kong Xue's ear, Kong Xue's face turned pale in an instant.

The second uncle looked at the female corpse, bowed his head and was silent, and did not speak for a long time. I whispered to him, "I don't see that the tent is strong, let's break the tent and rush out!" As I spoke, I pressed my hand on the dagger.

The second uncle waved his hand, "Don't!" This female corpse actually didn't harm us, she grabbed you at the beginning, according to the direction she guided at that time, she should also plan to lead us here, in the end, she still wants to help us, and now she keeps us here, most of them have a wish! Let's not be too aggressive, so as not to be bad for us! ”

I had a big head for a while, "How do I know what she wants!" Could it be that she could still open her mouth and tell me that it was not! ”

As soon as my voice fell, Kong Xue in the back raised her hand and hit me, "Don't talk nonsense, if she really speaks, don't be scared to death!" ”

I stabbed the second uncle, "Second uncle, you are more experienced in this matter, so you should come!" ”

The second uncle glared at me, "Are you praising me, who has experience in talking to dead people!" You're looking for a fight, isn't it! ”

I quickly admitted my mistake, "Yes, I was wrong, you can deal with this eldest sister first, and then talk about beating me later!" ”

The second uncle snorted and said to the female corpse: "Friend of the Tan family, I can probably guess your matter, you were killed by your own clan, and you are unwilling, but I told you that the same clan that harmed you are also dead, you can rest assured, if we can go out, we must ask someone to help you overtake it, so that you can ascend to Bliss as soon as possible!" ”

I looked at the second uncle in surprise and asked softly, "How do you know that she was killed by someone of the same clan?" ”

The second uncle waved his hand, did not speak, looked back at the door of the tent that was still closed, frowned, and said to himself, "Did you guess wrong?" ”

I was anxious in my heart, and I had no choice, so I had to guess according to the plot of the general reasoning drama, and tried to speak: "This eldest sister, I'm afraid there is still a mastermind behind this matter, we will try our best to help you find out and give you justice!" ”

The second uncle bumped me with his arm and asked in a low voice, "Do you know that there is a mastermind behind this matter?" ”

I also replied in a whisper: "I don't know, I'm talking nonsense!" Let's see if you can guess right! ”

The second uncle snorted, "You call the grave to burn the newspaper - fool!" As soon as the second uncle's words fell, a cool breeze blew, and the door of the tent was opened!
