Chapter 15: Poisoning
Chu Jiangqiu was moved by compassion and said angrily: "How can there be such a harmful beast here!" But it was too late to pounce, so he had to fly up and kick a small pebble at his feet towards the big green snake. pounced, and it should be the monkey's life should not be killed, the stone was impartial, and hit the head of the big snake, the green snake endured the pain, wagged its tail, and disappeared into the bushes.
Chu Jiangqiu was still not at ease, so he broke a branch and whipped it among the bushes, until the leaves fell one after another, and there was no trace of the snake, so he dropped the branch and leaned over to pick up the little monkey.
Its body was abnormally soft, and as soon as it was held in its hands, its head and limbs hung down weakly, and there were three more wounds on its arms arranged in the shape of "Pin", and black blood kept oozing out. No wonder it didn't run or scream, but it turned out to be poisoned. Chu Jiangqiu only glanced at it, and saw that the snake's head was triangular, the ventral surface was pale yellow, and the tail end was burnt red, and in the middle of the forehead on the top of the head, there was a bright red sarcoma, which had a clumsy appearance. Judging from its appearance alone, I know that it must be a huge poisonous thing, and if it is bitten, it can kill people in three moments, not to mention that it is just a small monkey.
The little monkey screamed a few times, although it was faint, but the cry was incessant, and he twisted his body a few times, and turned his head to look at a place behind the bushes, as if to tell him something, but unfortunately he could not speak or understand. Chu Jiangqiu's heart suddenly moved, although animals are not human, they also have spirituality, and they often know better how to detoxify and heal injuries. Even though the bison would cure ringworm with mud, and the deer would nibble on the bark and twigs of the mistletoe tree to stop diarrhea, it would not be impossible to say that the monkey was pointing out to him where the antidote was hidden.
When he thought of this festival, he was pleasantly surprised, although it was only a glimmer of life, but it was much stronger than swallowing in his own hands immediately, and immediately hugged the monkey and followed the direction it was looking at, all the way to it. After walking for a short time, the monkey squeaked suddenly, Chu Jiangqiu knew something was wrong, looked around, and saw that there was a large piece of wasteland under his feet. The wasteland stands out among the green foliage and greenery, with only clusters of weeds growing a few feet in the middle, dotted with bright red ripe berries, but other than that, it seems to be no different from the weeds of other places.
Chu Jiangqiu was suspicious in his heart, but there was no other way, so he put the little monkey on the ground, stepped over in three or two steps, grabbed a lot of grass and berries, and was about to go back, when a little toad with green eyes and vermilion suddenly jumped up in the grass, and puffed out a puff of green smoke, enveloping Chu Jiangqiu's whole body in it. Chu Jiangqiu was unguarded, and it was the first time he saw this kind of monster, so he couldn't help but gasp, and when he found out that something was wrong, he had already inhaled a lot of poisonous smoke, and hurriedly held his breath and ran back. After just a few steps, I felt dizzy, my eyelids suddenly became extremely heavy, and I wanted to lie down on the spot and get a good night's sleep. Barely dragged a few more steps, his feet had become stiff, and when he looked down, his feet were obviously still there, but they were as hard as iron, and it was difficult to move a bit, and he fell to the ground with a thud.
The ground was full of sand and gravel, and when he fell, his forehead was hit on a sharp stone, and he immediately bled profusely. But fortunately, with this knock, I am more sober, and I feel a sense of numbness from the lower body, first my feet, legs, and now even my lower abdomen and waist, I am afraid that after a while, the whole body will become a piece of wood. At this time, in Chu Jiangqiu's heart, there was some remorse, the natural world has been like this for thousands of years, the weak eat the strong, the wolf eats the sheep, the sheep eat the grass, there are certain rules, they all have their own way of survival, and there is nothing wrong with it, why should I sacrifice my life for a small thing in vain? If she dies, she doesn't care, and she also affects Bai Qian, but I don't know if she can walk out of this vast desert alone?
He tried not to let himself fall asleep, opened his eyes, wanted to see this flowery world a few more times, and thought, "God has treated me well after all, and found such a good place to be my burial place." ”
In a daze, I saw that the little monkey was still screaming, shaking his tongue, but the sound of the cry was not heard at all. Chu Jiangqiu looked at its screaming and screaming, and felt something: "Although it is a beast, it is more affectionate and righteous than a human." I had to save it just now, and now I'm blaming it again, it's really confused! He simply gritted his teeth and said in his heart: "Anyway, sooner or later, it will be a death, if I can save it, it will not be in vain that I will lose this life!" After thinking about it, he used all his remaining strength to roll a few times, rolled to the monkey's side, and while his head could still move, he sucked the poisonous blood from his wound into his mouth, and before he could spit it out, he felt that his eyes were dark, and he passed out on his back.
After sleeping so deeply and for a long time, Chu Jiangqiu returned to his youth in a trance: his father carried him on his back and climbed the highest mountain, while turning back and saying to him: "The world is so big, just like this mountain, except for this inch of heart field is a stable road, no other step is stable." He listened to the wind whirring in his ears, but he did not dare to open his eyes; He endured the pain, wiped the tears from his mother's face, and said, "Mom, I don't hurt at all." "And, there's ......
Yes! He opened his eyes suddenly, the sun was dazzling, he raised his hand, covered his eyes, and recalled little by little what had just happened: "Strange, am I not dead?" Why are you still alive and can move your hands and feet again? Suspicious, he moved slightly, and sure enough, his limbs moved as usual. Only then did he understand that fate favored him again, and he did not die, or rather, he was already dead, but he came back alive.
With a squeak, the little monkey who was injured just now jumped into his arms, one person and one monkey, all of them were the last to survive the catastrophe, and they picked up a life, and they had a lot of fun.
While playing, Chu Jiangqiu felt that his shoulder was tapped twice. He had just escaped from death, and he was afraid of some kind of snake or toad, so he hurriedly hugged the little monkey, held his breath, retreated three feet, and protected his head and face first, and then looked back.
In front of him is an old white ape, full of snow, with eyebrows like silver, and the white hair on his body is almost as long as a ruler, I don't know how many years he has lived. In its right hand, it was holding a big peach, three or four the size of an ordinary peach, white and red, delicate and beautiful, and held it in front of Chu Jiangqiu, as if it was going to be eaten by him.
Chu Jiangqiu smiled: "Okay, you are here to repay the favor!" He was tired for a long time, and his stomach was indeed a little hungry, and seeing that they meant very sincerely, he took it honestly and unceremoniously, and took a bite, only to feel that his mouth was full of fragrant and endless taste, and secretly said: "Good! "I was hearty, and I swallowed a huge peach in a few big bites. After eating only one, I was full, and I suddenly felt full of energy, my whole body was extremely smooth, and my heart was very happy.
After eating, after cleaning his hands in the water, Chu Jiangqiu carefully inspected the little monkey's wounds, chewed the herbs and berries he picked up, and applied them to the wound and wrapped them. It is expected that there is no big problem, even if there is a little residual poison that has not been cleared, the old ape fairy wind bones, fluttering and quite fairy, better than all the famous doctors in the world, should be able to cook.
Chu Jiangqiu handed over the little monkey to the old ape, accompanied him to the edge of the pool, said goodbye to them, and dived into the water again. He was moved in his heart and thought: "There are many people in the world who are ruthless and vicious, and they will take revenge, but they are not as good as two monkeys, maybe it was this fairy ape who gave me some strange flowers and trees to save my life." In the future, if you can stay alive, you must always try to return here and visit them. I just hope that the poison of poisonous snakes and toads will be as few as possible...... What kind of monsters are they, what a dangerous thing just now! "Thinking of almost dying here inexplicably, I still shudder when I think about it.
Green snakes and fire toads have lived in this valley for hundreds of years, and they have been huge poisons for many years, and for many years, in order to compete for territory and food, the two things have attacked each other for generations, and each has been killed and injured. Slowly, after generation after generation, something naturally grew in the body that could restrain the other party, so as not to be controlled by the other party and fall behind. If Chu Jiangqiu was injured by one of the things, he would naturally not be able to escape, but fortunately, he was first sprayed by the poisonous mist of the fire toad, and then immediately drank the blood of the green snake from the little monkey's wound. Although these two things are both ruthless and incoherent, they travel all over the nine orifices in Chu Jiangqiu's body, restrain each other, and reconcile with each other, plus the immortal fruit and peach in the mountains itself also have the ability to meet the wind and clouds, yin and yang, and they are actually integrated and merged into one. This is not only the mutual restraint of everything in heaven and earth, but also the infinite changes in life and restraint, or it can be said that Chu Jiangqiu's heart is a good thought, which pulled him back from the ghost gate.
When Chu Jiangqiu came out of the water, Bai Qian was naturally gone. Bypassing the waterhole, in a large house in the middle of the valley, I found a few people, but unfortunately they were deaf and dumb, and could not ask anything, only gesticulating hehe, which seemed to mean: someone broke in, fought with the master and ran away, the master chased down, and has not yet returned.
Chu Jiangqiu couldn't ask anything, so he had to walk around. In a large wing room on the east side, it is richly decorated, and a large mirror is placed in the middle, which is bright and eye-catching. Chu Jiangqiu couldn't find Bai Qian anywhere, so he had to walk out, and before going out, he glanced back, and there was a plaque hanging high on the lintel of the gate, with four golden characters of "Xihai Qiaofu" written on it. He knew that the person who broke into Xihaiju would not be Bai Qian, it must be Jin Laotong, this person's martial arts skills are very high, similar to the old man of Xihai, the two of them made a move, and they had to wait until a few hundred moves to distinguish the winner or loser, so he was not very worried about him, but it was most important to find Bai Qian first.
After turning aimlessly for half an hour, before I knew it, I had gradually left the West Sea and reached the edge of the desert. There is yellow sand under your feet, and more of them are gravel of different sizes, rolling around with the wind. As far as the eye can see, among the gravels of the Gobi Desert, there are clusters of reeds here and there, and the grass is pale and yellow. In the lower places, red willow trees and wild aspen trees grow occasionally, and there are also some shrunken and whitish, long-dead trunks exposed.
The sky is full of red sun, flying colors, and everything around is as quiet as a mirror. In the distance, you can faintly see the ruined walls of some castles and beacon towers, which have stood quietly for thousands of years, long uninhabited, but still majestic and tall. Above the city wall, the sky is clear and clear, there is no fiber, and in the midst of the flow of light, the images of two men and one woman are clearly reflected in the sky, and it seems that they are still fighting with each other.
Although Chu Jiangqiu didn't believe in any ghosts, the three images in the air were clearly Bai Qian, Jin Laotong, and Qiao Xihai, and they couldn't be wrong. For a while, he was stunned, and his mouth opened wide for a long time. Bai Qian, who has been looking for her, has found it, but it is far away in the sky, can he give birth to wings and fly to the sky?
