Chapter 431: Smelly Two Heavens
In the face of Li Di's pleading, the old man nodded lightly and asked, "Do you have anything on you that is not afraid of burning?" This ambergris liquid needs to be dried. ”
I picked up the lid of the water cup on the ground: "Anyway, this water cup is waste, just use this lid, the stainless steel one is not afraid of burning." ”
The old man glanced at it, confirmed it, and then ordered, "Go and collect dry firewood." ”
In rural areas, there is no shortage of dry firewood, and there are several stacks of firewood next to the well platform.
I casually carried some back to the well platform and lit them.
The old man took the opportunity to pour the ambergris liquid from the cup into the lid of the cup and put it on the fire to roast.
When the thing was hot, it emitted a puff of black smoke with a choking smell of burning, and it went straight to the nostrils.
I rubbed it, this smell is the same as burning wool, and my snot and tears are all down.
During the roasting process, the old man kept an eye on the changes in the liquid in the lid of the cup.
After more than half an hour, the ambergris slowly turned into powder, and the old man said, "Okay, don't bake it, tie your uncle to the tree." ”
Li Di was stunned for a moment, and blurted out, "What are you tying up my uncle for?" Senior, you're not going to beat my uncle, are you? ”
The old man shook his head and smiled, but did not explain.
I said, "If you can get the eggs out of it after beating it, you will have to take it." ”
Li Di and I first solved the four dissimilarities.
As soon as the thing regained its freedom, it jumped like a frightened bird into the well.
He helped Li Di's uncle up, let him lean lightly on the willow tree, and then wrapped a rope around him.
Originally, we wanted to let him sit still and not fall down, but the old man kept shouting on the side to tie it strongly, but there was no way, so we had to loosen it and tie it again.
After the bundle was sturdy, the old man set the ambergris powder on fire.
This powder is amazing, there is no flame when lit, it is like burning incense, only red fire, green smoke.
What's even more amazing is that it is completely different from before, there is no smell of burning wool, but there is a peculiar fragrance, I can't tell what the fragrance is, but it feels very good, which makes people feel very comfortable.
I took a deep breath, it was the best smell I've ever smelled in my life.
At this time, the words "ambergris" suddenly popped into my mind.
Legend has it, ambergris is a kind of spice used in the ancient palace, the Western Regions pay tribute, it is very rare, a pinch can burn for a day, burn once, the strange fragrance does not disperse for more than ten days indoors, and is deeply loved by the nobles in the palace.
Modern studies say that ambergris is actually sperm whale feces, but at this time I decided that the smell I smelled was the legendary ambergris.
The old man put the burning ambergris powder under Uncle Li Di's nose, and the green smoke curled and floated into his nostrils.
After a moment, Uncle Li Di's eyes widened.
"Wake up...... Uncle Shi......"
Li Di shouted happily.
But her uncle's call to her, his eyes stared directly at the lid of the water glass, revealing a particularly longing expression, his mouth was wide open, and his nose was constantly twitching, as if he wanted to suck all the fragrance into his stomach.
After a few puffs, he didn't seem to be satisfied, and began to writhe and struggle, trying to break free from the rope, and pounced directly on it to swallow the ambergris.
I instantly understood what the old man meant by letting us tie it up stronger.
Obviously, Uncle Li Di is still in an unconscious state, but he is a practitioner after all, and he still has some brute strength, and after some struggle, the rope is loosened a little.
As a last resort, Li Di and I had to step forward and hold him down.
Unable to break free, Uncle Li Di opened his mouth wide again, breathing hard, his chest rising and falling violently, like a drowning man suddenly being fished up.
He inhaled for a few minutes, his expression contorted.
The eyes were round, and a pair of eyes were red and bloodshot; The green tendons at the temples bulged so high that they seemed to burst out; The mouth is wide open enough to swallow a goose egg, and there is a soft "gurgling" sound in the throat......
It's clearly the kind of thing that can't be vomited, and it looks extremely painful.
Seeing this, Li Di panicked and asked urgently, "Uncle Shi, how are you?" ”
But her uncle hasn't come to his senses yet, where can he answer her.
As a last resort, she turned her head to look at the old man again: "Senior, what's wrong with my uncle?" ”
The old man looked calm and waved his hand unhurriedly: "Don't panic, that thing is coming out." ”
As soon as he finished speaking, Uncle Li Di's chest suddenly bulged an egg-sized bag, which kept rolling towards his throat.
Next, I saw a disgusting scene.
A white thing poked its head out of Uncle Li Di's black hole-like mouth.
Then, he slowly crawled out of a white and chubby body......
Fuck it! Is this a roundworm?
What would it be like to see a bug come out of a person's mouth?
Anyway, my stomach churned several times, and the contents almost gushed out.
But I can only endure it, if it does squirt out, it will be a big trouble to scare this bug back.
Li Di's appearance is similar to mine, her pretty face has turned purple, and it can be seen that she has endured it very hard.
The two of us held our breath and watched quietly as the worm crawled out of her uncle's mouth.
The insect was about twenty centimeters long, and looked limp and eyeless, white and eyeless, with a pair of antennae.
After coming out, it lay on Uncle Li Di's lips, half of its body hung in the air, and kept writhing, reaching towards the lid of the water cup that was smoking.
When the old man saw this scene, he put the lid of the water cup on the ground, and he dodged and floated away, not knowing what to do.
The white worm writhed a few more times, fell to the ground with a "click", and then crawled towards the lid of the cup with the scent.
It's like a moth to a fire, crawling into the lid of a cup without hesitation.
The whole body was burned by the burning ambergris.
But it didn't notice it, it didn't struggle, it lay motionless, and let the fire burn it.
The ambergris burned vigorously, and after a while, the whole body of the insect swelled, and after a while, it exploded with a "poof".
Then, a strong stench instantly dissipated.
I really don't understand, how can such a little bug stink so much, it stinks incomparably, it's like a septic tank has exploded, or even more so.
How fragrant the ambergris is, how stinky it is.
Two extremes.
Li Di and I covered our noses and ran into the distance, unable to control it anymore, "wow, wow" and vomited.
Now, I know why the old guy ran so far.
It's so inauthentic......
The four fields were empty, the smell came and went quickly, and a gust of night wind blew, and it didn't take long for it to dissipate.
We returned to the well platform and untied Uncle Li Di, but he still didn't wake up.
The old man floated back and checked Uncle Li Di: "It's okay, he will wake up soon." ”
With that, he went to look at the worm again.
The bugs have burned to ashes, and the ambergris has been extinguished.
