The Grass Ghost Woman walked straight up to us, gave us a cold look, and then raised her knife.

However, she pulled the knife at her left index finger.

With a knife, a small incision suddenly opened, like a red plum in the depths of winter, and blood gushed out in an instant.

Then she raised her bleeding fingers to us.

She's ......

You can't make us drink her blood, do you?

As soon as this thought flashed through his mind, he saw Sun Xiao stretch out a finger, dip it in a little blood, lick it with his tongue, and then swallow it.

it!

Really!

Sun Xiao looked at us and motioned for each of us to come like him.

I muttered to myself.

What's the use of drinking her blood?

She can't be trying to trick us, is she?

I know that many of the grass ghost woman's Gu worms are raised in their own bodies.

But how can there be such a blatant person?

I didn't move, Li Di glanced at me, and there was no next move, let alone the five-clawed golden dragon.

It suddenly occurred to me that it was a waste of time and meaningless for us to enter this village.

In the first place, he should have bypassed this village directly as the five-clawed golden dragon said.

Seeing that the three of us were not moving, the grass ghost woman seemed unwilling to force it, and said a few words to Sun Xiao, and was about to withdraw her hand.

Sun Xiao was anxious when he heard this, grabbed her hand and shouted at us: "This blood is avoided, you must drink it!" ”

Dysentery?

What is it?

I seem to have heard Sun Xiao say it before.

It shouldn't be a great thing.

Then I want the expressions of the two gray-haired old men in front of me, one is whether you like to drink or not, and the other is that you must drink......

Forget it, let's have a drink.

They all said that they didn't listen to the old man, and they suffered in front of them.

Just respect the elderly.

So, under my leadership, Li Di frowned and dipped a little blood, and smacked his fingers.

It's a five-clawed golden dragon, and this thing shows a posture of not drinking even if it's killed.

No matter how Sun Xiao persuades, he is unmoved.

After drinking the blood, the grass ghost woman poured each of us a cup of tea with a very strange taste.

When we finished drinking, she waved her hand and signaled that we could go.

The two men who had led us in were still waiting outside the door.

When he saw us coming out, he raised his hand and pointed to the way he came, then turned around and led us in that direction.

I thought they were going to send us out of the stockade.

Unbeknownst to us, they actually led us to a bamboo hut on the edge of the swamp.

Open the door, let them in, and with a "click", lock them from the outside.

Is this putting us in captivity?

Let's figure out the situation first.

We all looked at Sun Xiao.

He had communicated with the grass ghost woman, and he must know why.

The five-clawed golden dragon even asked with a wicked smile: "Old man, what's going on?" As long as you open your mouth, I will immediately lift this broken thatched hut and take you out. ”

Sun Xiao was a little uncomfortable by us, turned around, found a relatively clean place, and sat down.

The expression on his face was clearly what he had come to be safe.

"This is not a captivity, this is a place for us to stay!"

What is the rationale for this?

Lodging?

Want to lock the door from the outside?

I think it's clearly because we're afraid we'll run away.

"We're pressed for time, how can we afford to stay here, in my opinion, let's rush out."

I'm a little angry.

"It's not time to leave, we must stay here for one night."

"Why?"

All of a sudden, I became a curious baby.

"Because, only if we stay here for one night, our body will have the ability to avoid hemorrhoids and swamp miasma." Sun Xiao explained, "There is a primeval forest ahead, and there is inevitably miasma, and these colorless and odorless poisonous gases are difficult to prevent. Sickness, even more terrible, stained with nine deaths and a lifetime. Besides, the king of Dian knew how to do it, so it was impossible for his tomb to be free of it. If we stay here for one night, we won't be afraid of these things anymore, and the delay for this night is absolutely worth it. ”

"Isn't the people in this village afraid of miasma, because they have lived in this house?"

I looked around curiously.

This is a bamboo house, except for the heavy humidity and the choking swamp smell, there is nothing special at all.

Sun Xiao smiled slyly and said, "The old witch told me that I can't see anything now, and I will be famous in the evening." She also told me that no matter what we saw or heard, we should not move, and that we should be blind and deaf, and that we should just stay honest until dawn. ”

That's why they locked us in this house?

Are you afraid that we will run around?

Still, I was puzzled and couldn't help asking, "What will come in the evening?" Is it a ghost? ”

Sun Xiao shook his head: "To be honest, I don't understand the old witch's words very well, they are all guesses, but I have heard the general meaning." It's said there's something terrifying...... In short, everyone has a little bit of a number in their hearts, so don't make a fuss when the time comes. ”

I nodded, the explanation made sense.

Still, there's a bunch of questions.

"Then why does the old witch help us? She lives in a simple place, who is she? I hear her accent completely different from your old friend's daughter, how do you understand it? ”

asked three times, which made Sun Xiao a little big.

He pondered for a moment, then smiled awkwardly, "She will help everyone who enters the primeval forest through their village. They should be considered a branch of the black seedling. On the side of Miaojiang, there are black seedlings and white seedlings. Hei Miao likes witchcraft, and many people will make some moths in the tomb after they die. When we were in the archaeological team, we hired a black seedling wizard to deal with the strange things encountered during the excavation. She followed us for years, so I knew a little bit of their dialect. ”

As soon as Sun Xiao finished explaining, there was a sound of footsteps outside the door.

Then there was the sound of unlocking.

After that, the door was pushed open, and the two men from before brought us some food with two bamboo baskets.

We were not polite, sat down on the floor, and feasted.

Their meals here are very special.

The meat and rice steamed in the bamboo tube are soft and glutinous, with the unique fragrance of bamboo, and some dried meat and some wild vegetables that we have never seen before, which are quite fresh to eat.

While eating, Li Di asked Sun Xiao: "Old Sun, what kind of thing is hemorrhizome?" What's so great about it? ”

That's what I wondered.

"Similar to Gu, but more vicious than Gu. Gu is connected to the life of a Gu raiser, and a Gu raiser dies when Gu dies, but it is different, and it can survive for thousands of years. When we excavated the tombs of the ancient Dian Kingdom, we dug up a special corpse, and there were hemorrhoids on the corpse, and seven of us died at that time. ”

I became more and more curious: "What kind of special corpse is it?" How does that harm people? ”
