Miaojiang Holy Maiden (4)
"Can't get out? I know... You too are cursed. ”
The old man's eyes softened slightly, but he was still wary of a few people.
"You're lucky, I'm the only one in this village who speaks Mandarin, and only I can understand it. If you meet other villagers, it is not so convenient. ”
An Chen smiled and nodded, ready to inquire about some more news.
"Grandma, what's the deal with the curse you're talking about?"
"You strangers don't need to know, just know that you listen to me at night, don't run out."
"That's... Can you help to check on my friend? She seems to have been poisoned. ”
After speaking, the old lady in front of her seemed to be thinking about something, and only when An Chen couldn't make up her mind did she speak:
"Let's go check it out."
"Okay."
Glancing at Feng Chun, An Chen handed her the food and motioned for her to stay here.
went to the house where Xiang Liu was, and as soon as An Chen opened the door, he saw Xiang Liu wake up.
The health bar on his head has dropped two squares.
"Soyanagi..."
Who knows, Xiang Liu looked at the old lady with a wary face and shouted:
"Chi Chen, be careful, that's a monster next to you."
An Chen was afraid that she would show her ability, so she hurriedly went up to appease her.
"No, she's a villager in this village, have a good rest..."
Use her ability on Xiang Liu to keep her asleep.
Although he didn't want to do this, An Chen was worried that Xiang Liu's snake head would leak out and be kicked out by the old lady.
"Looks like it's been poisoned."
The old lady nodded and stepped forward to check on Sang-ryu's injuries.
I dipped my hand in a little poisonous blood and smelled it, and I knew what was going on.
"Poisoned by the ghost locust."
"Do you have a way to save her?"
The old lady nodded, but shook her head again.
"It's very simple to detoxify, the blood of any person in our village can be cured, except for me."
An Chen looked at her suspiciously, and the old lady continued:
"I'm the only one in the village who goes outside, so I speak Mandarin. But the rules in our village are like this, if you leave the village and go to live elsewhere, you will no longer be blessed by your sister, and you will no longer be your own family. ”
"Please help her."
An Chen looked at the old lady pleadingly, and the other party just sighed.
"I wanted to help, too, but the villagers had long regarded me as a traitor and didn't want to talk to me more. But... You can ask, maybe come up with something of interest, and they will be willing to exchange it with you, and I can help you translate. ”
"Okay, thank you."
Calling Feng Chun and Panchun together, several people went out, and the old lady knocked on the opposite door first.
The door was opened by a tall, dark-skinned man.
There is also a girl next to her, but the girl's skin is snow-white, and she looks a little younger, and the two should be brother and sister.
When the two saw that it was the old lady, they wanted to close the door, but the old lady hurriedly stopped them and communicated with each other.
The obscure language made An Chen and the others look at each other, and after the man listened, he waved his hand directly to close the door, and there was anger in his tone.
The old lady clasped her hands together and made a pleading gesture.
The man and the girl glanced at An Chen and the others, and then at the old lady, who looked like they hated iron but not steel, and slammed the door.
The old lady turned around dejectedly and explained to several people:
"They don't want to, and they despise me for being with strangers."
"I'm so sorry..."
Panchun looked at the old lady gratefully, obviously he didn't know them, but he was willing to do it.
knocked on the doors of several houses one after another, and the villagers' reactions were almost the same as the first pair of brothers and sisters, which made several people eat a closed door.
The old lady's face became paler, but she went to another house.
This time it was an old man who opened the door, and as soon as the old man saw the old lady, his eyes narrowed.
When the two talked this time, the old man's eyes looked at a few people from time to time, with scrutiny in his eyes.
After saying a few words, the old man suddenly became angry and argued with the old lady.
The old lady turned pale, but she only snorted.
In the end, the old man just sighed, took a bowl from the house, and took a little of his own blood for a few people.
The moment the old lady took it, the old man immediately closed the door.
"The antidote is there."
The old lady smiled and handed the medicine to An Chen.
"Thank you so much, we really don't know how to thank you."
An Chen took it gratefully, and hurriedly went back to prepare to detoxify Xiangliu.
Feng Chun asked the old lady curiously:
"Grandma, why can the blood of the villagers detoxify?"
"Because the people in the village, since birth, will eat the pills made by the poison of the ghost locust tree mixed with blood, and after eating it, they will also be immune to the poison of the ghost locust tree, and the blood can have the same effect. The locust tree was also planted to protect the village. ”
"Then why don't we just go get the balls?"
"How can this work?"
The old lady's face was flat, and her eyes became gloomy.
"The Oni Locust Tree Maruko is a gift from the Holy Maiden, and only those born in the village have the right to receive it. You guys..."
As if realizing that she had slipped her mouth, the old lady closed her mouth and said no more.
No matter how Feng Chun asked, she ignored it directly.
An Chen rubbed blood on Sang-ryu's wound and waited to see if it would work.
After about five or six minutes, the blood bar on Xiang Liu's head slowly rose back, and An Chen breathed a sigh of relief.
Great, useful.
The place where the willow turns purple also begins to fade slowly.
walked out of the door, but saw Feng Chun apologizing to the old lady, and the old lady was very angry and went back to her room.
"What's going on?"
"Ah, I accidentally her off."
Feng Chun scratched his head in confusion, not knowing what to do.
"Angry? Because of what? ”
"I asked why the blood of the villagers could stop the bleeding, and then the old lady said that they had eaten the balls made of the ghost locust tree and blood when they were born, and said that it was given by the holy woman, and she was angry when she said this."
"...... like this"
There is no way, it can only be that this old lady has a strange temper.
At present, the poison of Xiangliu is solved.
"I didn't encounter any danger when I went out just now, and the old lady also said that she couldn't go out at night. There is still some time until the evening, why don't the two of them stay here and the two of them go out to find out the news? ”
"I agree."
Pan Chun was the first to say.
He himself is not a person who sits still, and now he knows too little information in his hands, and he is not at ease.
"Okay, but I'll stay here, and my clone will go out with you."
Feng Chun naturally agreed, and An Chen sighed that her ability was really useful.
After the news was settled, the three of them left the house.
The wooden house was not very soundproof, and the conversation of several people was faintly listened to by the old lady.
I also inquired about the news and wanted to leave.
Dream on.
The people of the village were cursed, and now no one went out.
No one can.
And these outsiders are the bargaining chips for her to leave the village.
