Rebuild Huatuo Temple? Heh, this little old man is quite ambitious! Xiao Yi listened to him and gradually developed a good impression of him!
Tong Lu asked him with a smile,
"Old man Hua, do you want to rebuild this Huatuo Temple alone?!"
The old man was very sure, nodded straight, and replied,
Of course, no one would be willing to help me fix it, so I don't expect anyone else to help!"
Miss Liu said,
"If you don't dislike it, when we go home, I'll send you some silver, so that you can do our part!"
The old man shook his head and said,
"No, no, I'm just living on this little bit of faith, and if it's built soon, maybe I won't be able to live! So, let me take my time, maybe I can live a few more years!"
Tong Lu smiled and replied,
"Old man Hua, you are really interesting! However, let's still think about how to survive these few days, you look at the snow outside, it is so big, and it snows from time to time, and I don't know when it will be a head!"
However, now that there is little left to eat, it will not be long before he will be hungry! However, now with Old Man Hua, he can still find this place under such weather conditions, of course, it is the living map, and if he guides him, it should not be a problem to enter and exit this black land! However, his feet are frozen, and it will take time to recover, so you can't carry him to find the way! Besides, even if he can stand it, the girls can't do it, so we have to think of a perfect way!
Old man Hua said,
"Eat, don't worry at all, it's enough for us to eat for a month or two!"
Tong Lu was very curious and asked,
"Old man Hua, can you find something to eat?!"
Old man Hua looked stunned and replied,
"Two horses froze to death in the back, so big, didn't you notice it at all?!"
Tong Lu jumped up and said loudly,
"What? And such a good thing!"
Old man Hua blinked, and said,
"I'm not moving, so I have to come with you young people!"
Tong Lu thought about it and said,
"It's damp outside, it's hard to preserve, why don't we cut the meat, dry it and store it!"
Old man Hua shook his head and replied,
"It's cold out there, and they'll freeze into ice soon, but it's even more effective than yours!
Xiao Yi thought to himself, it was getting late, and it was not too late to go again tomorrow, so he didn't go out!
Tong Lu asked,
"Old Man Hua, how can it be so cold here?!"
Old man Hua said,
I remember more than 10 years ago, this area of flowers and plants was extremely prosperous, sometimes growing as tall as a person! Ordinary people fled into it, and suddenly disappeared! Therefore, we often come to clean them up and prevent them from growing too long! The four seasons are distinct all year round, and it is difficult to have less bad weather! At that time, there were countless people who came to my ancestors' temple, some came to worship, and of course some crossed the road to rest! But then, for some reason, the weather suddenly became very strange, and the number of thunderstorms and snowstorms increased, and the number of days of wind and snow also increased greatly, which made people like me who have lived here for a long time miserable! Some people say that it is because someone has done evil in this place and angered the gods, so he will suffer bad luck! In those years, there have been several murders, and there are far fewer people coming, but they are not forgotten! Until the plague breaks out, after that, no one should have come!"
Tong Ludao,
"It's not that no one came, we came here a few days ago, didn't we meet a lot of people here!"
Old man Hua was very puzzled and asked,
"Anyone is still coming?!"
Tong Lu replied to him,
"Isn't it, aren't all these food and burns left by them!"
Old man Hua said,
"They, what are they doing here?!"
Old man Hua's face was not very good-looking, and Tong Lu replied to him,
"What else can you do if you do something illegal!"
Old man Hua was very angry, and shouted wow,
"Ah, these beasts actually borrowed Huatuo Temple to do bad things, they are angry with me, angry with me!"
Tong Lu smiled and said,
"Old man Hua, it seems that this place is no longer suitable for survival, I see, you better change places and build your Huatuo Temple again!"
Old man Hua was sad for a while, shook his head, and said,
"Forget it, no one will come again anyway, just stay here for the rest of your life!"
Old man Hua closed his eyes, but he didn't want to open his eyes anymore, this is really a strange old man! But think about it, he has been in prison for ten years, and he has no support, only this little willingness, what reason is there not to support him?
It's strange to say, this old man Hua's feet are really fine, and when he woke up the next day, he has already changed color! Xiao Yi said in his heart, could it be that this Hua Tuo only protected him alone?! Old man Hua's legs and feet are still not good, but he can also walk around in this temple, and after a little more time, he should be able to recover! Xiao Yi accidentally found that this guy's strength is surprisingly great, he grabbed a piece of wood with one hand, and he looked much more relaxed than Xiao Yi! It looks like such a thin body, but he has such strength, it is really unbelievable! He looked up and down at the stone statue of Hua Tuo that had fallen to the ground, his hands and feet were gone, and his head was rotten, and there was really no need to repair it! Old man Hua cleaned up this place, and then he returned to the fire to rest! After he tidied up like this, the temple was more spacious again, and people living here would feel much more comfortable!
Xiao Yi looked out, the sky slowly brightened, and he preached to a few people,
"I'm going to look for the dead horse, if I have food by my side, I won't feel panicked! Lu Lu, you go with me!"
Tong Lu shook his head and said,
"I'm not going to go if someone freezes to death outside!"
Miss Liu said,
"Brother Xiaoyi, I'd better go with you! Anyway, it's not far away, I can hold on!"
Xiao Yi nodded at her, but Old Man Hua said,
"The girl doll stays, I'll go with this kid!"
couldn't help but say, Old Man Hua had already stood up and grabbed Xiao Yi's clothes,
"Let's go, if you don't go with me, you won't be able to find it!"
Xiao Yi asked him,
"Old Man Hua, can you do it with your legs?"
Old man Hua said,
"Of course, let's go, don't delay any longer!"
Old man Hua has so much strength, Xiao Yi only felt a powerful force coming from his hand, Xiao Yi himself did not use his strength, and he had already been reminded of his true feelings! Heh, this old man Hua is really not an ordinary person! In this case, Xiao Yi should go with him!
There was a light snow outside, sparsely and sparsely, and occasionally a few pieces fell on the face, and quickly turned into water droplets! Although it only fell on the clothes, but because the weather was too cold, it would not turn into water for a while and a half, and there were a lot of white dots on the sleeves! Xiao Yi suddenly remembered Yao'er, hey, when she was in Yangzhou, she always wanted to see the snow, but she never waited for it to come, but the snow in the past few days, it has fallen so much, but she has no chance to see it, hey, what a pity!
The snow was waist-high, and it was really difficult to walk, and Old Man Hua took the lead in leading the way, and he actually walked faster than Xiao Yi! About half a mile behind Hua Tuo Temple, Old Man Hua really found the corpse of a horse! After Xiao Yi arrived, he looked back at the traces, and tsk, the two of them actually walked in a line! This old man Hua is really good at it, and he actually remembers the location so clearly! Xiao Yi looked around again, and they were all in the same place, and I don't know how he could tell them clearly!
Xiao Yi stepped forward to see that the old man Hua had already removed part of the snow covering the horse, he held a horse's hoof, and pulled it back! Ouch, this horse is moving, this old man is so strong! Xiao Yi came to help, and the two of them pulled the body out with more force!
Xiao Yi couldn't help but say out loud,
"This, isn't this my horse!"
Old man Hua glanced at Xiao Yi and asked,
"Your horses?"
Xiao Yi nodded and replied,
"Yes, Lu Lu and I have one horse, but when we got to this black soil, we lost them! Seeing its corpse today, I really feel a little sorry!"
Old man Hua said,
"This horse has been dead for several days, and if it weren't for the cold weather, I'm afraid it would have broken down a long time ago!"
Xiao Yi looked ahead, and saw that there was a horse's hoof on the edge of the big pit that he had just dragged out, and said,
"That horse should be Lu Lu's one! Hey, the two of them died together, so they can be regarded as having a companion!"
Old man Hua said,
"This one belongs to you, I'll get that!"
These two horses, although not the best horses, but also relatively strong and powerful, not to mention a few hundred pounds, in this snow, one person dragged up, so laborious! Xiao Yi has eaten enough, and can only drag away a little distance each time, if you want to return to Huatuo Temple, it will take some time!
Look at the old man again, he easily came to the side of the horse's hoof, stretched out his hand and grabbed it, it seemed that he didn't use much force, but the horse was pulled out of the snow by him!
Xiao Yi was amazed and said,
"Old man Hua, your strength is quite scary!"
Old man Hua didn't reply, he suddenly jumped back two steps and quickly ran towards Xiao Yi!
"Oops, oops!"
Xiao Yi was so strange and hurriedly asked,
"Old man Hua, what's wrong, what's wrong?!"
Old man Hua must have seen something terrible, and he was scared a lot! He ran over and blocked the back, so Xiao Yi still didn't know exactly when it happened! When he arrived, Xiao Yi probed over, hey, he saw that there were a lot of insects wriggling on the horse's belly, dense, so disgusting! There were also insects coming to the two of them, but they felt too far away, and turned back!
Xiao Yi's heart moved and asked,
"Old man Hua, do you know what that thing is?!"
Old man Hua's face turned pale, and he replied,
"I don't know, I've never seen this worm before!
Xiao Yidao,
"They're eating that horse meat, and they're probably so hungry!, but how can there be so many such bugs in this place, and the reason behind it must not be so simple!"
Old man Hua was so powerful before, but he was very afraid of this bug, and urged Xiao Yi, saying,
"Quick, quick, before they find our horse, pull it back, pull it back!"
Old man Hua pulled the horse's hooves with one hand, and grabbed Xiao Yi with the other hand, Xiao Yi didn't resist, he thought to himself, after sending this horse back, he would come back to study it again! The two of them worked hard together, and immediately became much more relaxed, Old Man Hua was busy walking, but Xiao Yi seemed to be dragged by him! Hehe, look at him frightened by this bug!
After a short time, the two of them pulled the horse corpse back to the front of Hua Tuo Temple! Such a big horse was frozen so hard that the two of them were already out of breath when they arrived, and the old man Hua insisted on carrying the horse inside this time, but Xiao Yi did not help, he was the only one, so he carried it in, and his strength was amazing! Xiao Yi thought for a moment, and then ran to the place where the horse corpse was found! The horse waded all the way, so it was very easy to walk, and Xiao Yi didn't need to take long to return to that place!
Xiao Yi took a closer look at the insects on the horse carcass, and they really looked very disgusting! Their backs were dark green, and their abdomen was pale yellow, the size of their little fingertips, and they squirmed back and forth on the horse carcass! The surface of the insects was covered with a layer of ice, and it was thought that it was because the weather was too cold! The weather was too cold, and although the horse corpse had been lying here for a long time, it should not exude much smell, just like the previous one, there was almost no bad smell! But after Xiao Yi got closer, he smelled a foul smell, which made Xiao Yi retch, and almost didn't vomit out a few things he had eaten before!
Xiao Yi held his breath, found a branch, and stabbed it at the horse's corpse, and the insects on it turned and made a sizzling sound! He pestle the rotten meat and tore off a small piece of meat, and on top of the meat, there were dozens of small worms! That's right, Xiao Yi just wanted to bring them back so that he could study them!
Xiao Yi came back with the worms, but it scared everyone a lot! When the old man Hua saw it, he also shouted loudly,
"Take it, take it!"
Xiao Yi said,
"This thing is really suspicious, we can't let it go! Lu Lu, find me a jar or something, let's put them in, and observe and observe!"
Tong Lu covered his nose and said,
"Don't, don't, I don't want it!"
It was Miss Liu who helped to get a broken jar and put Xiao Yi in with the worms and meat! Xiao Yi squatted down on the side, and Miss Liu stood aside!
The room was much warmer, and the thin ice on the insects had melted, and then it became slimy, which was even more disgusting! Xiao Yi glanced up at Miss Liu and said with a smile,
"Well, it's not very pleasant, is it?!"
But Miss Liu said,
"It's nothing, my brother often watched the autopsy scene with him, and he never vomited once! I'm his sister, so naturally I won't be far behind!"
Xiao Yi smiled, turned his eyes around, and continued to look at the insects! It is also strange to say, after the temple is warmed up, these insects are not so energetic compared to before! Xiao Yi felt very strange, and took the broken jar to the snow, and the insect was cold again, heh, it was active again!
Miss Liu was also curious when she saw it together, and asked,
"Brother Xiaoyi, where did you find this thing?!"
Xiao Yi brought the worm back again, put it down gently, and then returned to her,
"Didn't Old Man Hua say that there are two horses, and this other one is being bitten by these things at this time!
Miss Liu said,
"Hey, this kind of bug, it's the first time I've seen it, Brother Xiaoyi, do you know what it is?!"
Xiao Yi shook his head and replied,
"I don't know, but I've seen one that is even more disgusting than them, and when the two sides compare it, it seems that there are some similarities! Lu Lu, come and see, these look like empty corpse worms?!"
As soon as Tong Lu heard the word corpse insect, he immediately jumped up and said,
"What, corpse worms, where, where!"
Tong Lu ran over quickly, and when he saw those disgusting little insects, he turned his head and vomited, although he only vomited some saliva, but it was enough to make him sad for a while!
"Brother Xiaoyi, the corpse insects in the empty space are slightly bigger than this, and the appearance is slightly different, but they are still somewhat similar!
Xiao Yi couldn't help nodding and replied,
"That's right, I think so too! These insects may really be of the same origin as the empty corpse insects, but they are in a different environment, so they grow into different shapes!"
Tong Lu's eyes were very firm, he gritted his teeth, and said,
"He's making trouble again!"
Xiao Yi saw that everyone was puzzled, so he explained to everyone, saying,
"This empty man is a master of using poison, he is also good at raising corpse insects, controlling half-dead people through corpse insects, after that person becomes a corpse man, he will follow his instructions, and the corpse people can burst out with amazing power under the drive of corpse insects, and it can really be tight! I just saw this worm, and I felt very familiar, so I went back and brought some back!"
When everyone heard this, they were all very scared, the girls avoided from afar, and Old Man Hua was also sweating, only Miss Liu was quite calm, but she also clenched her fists!
Tong Lu said,
"Hey, you say, why are there so many corpses in this place?!"
Xiao Yi blinked slightly and replied,
"Maybe it's because so few people come from this black soil, so those wicked people keep it here! As for how to use this worm, I'm afraid only the person who raised it will know!"
Tong Lu clapped his hands vigorously and said,
These people are afraid that the world will not be chaotic, and if I find them, I will definitely make him go around without food!"
Xiao Yi let out a long breath and said,
"You say, could it be the poison god who raised this bug?!"
Tong Lu shouted and said,
"Poison God! Ouch, it's really possible! I've been thinking about Kongkong'er just now, but I've forgotten about this even more terrifying guy! Kongkong'er claims to be his disciple, and after only a few years of studying with him, he is already so powerful, if it's a real poison god, I don't know how powerful it is!"
When Miss Liu heard the word poison god, her face finally changed, and she listened to her again,
"Really, really related to the god of poison?!"
Xiao Yi saw that her expression was not quite right, so he asked her,
"Sister Lian'er, you also know this poison god?!"
Miss Liu lowered her head with a heavy focus and said,
"Of course, my brother has been searching for his whereabouts for years, and finally has some clues!" he said, he said, ......"
Miss Liu wanted to speak and stopped, but there was a lot of hesitation, Tong Lu continued her words,
"He said that the poison god colluded with the rebels and bandits to disturb this country that had been settled down so easily, so as to achieve his ulterior motives! After several defeats, he made friends with the Japanese again, and wanted to rely on the strength of this foreign country to expand his own strength! And today, seeing these insects again, maybe it has something to do with him, tsk, his claws are really stretched long enough!"
Miss Liu couldn't stop blinking and replied,
"Ah, so you all know it, I thought it was only my brother who knew!"
Tong Lu Huidao,
"Your brother has dealt with the rebels with us, and we are all happy and convinced of his resourcefulness! However, we only learned later that the poison god and the Japanese colluded with each other, but after we separated from your brother! Even you know about this, then your brother must have known about it a long time ago, tsk, your brother is much more powerful than us!"
Miss Liu's eyes were full of pride, and she couldn't help but raise her head,
"That is, my brother is the most powerful person in the world, as long as he is willing, there is no problem that cannot be solved! My brother is my idol, and I also hope to be able to become a person like him, dedicate everything to the country and the people!"
Tong Lu smiled and replied to her,
"It's good, it's good, your brother and sister are doing well! Hey, I'm looking forward to your brother appearing soon, so that we can solve our urgent needs, and then help me think about how to arrange it next!"
Xiao Yi suddenly remembered and blurted out,
"Lu Lu, you say, let's catch all these insects, will it make the other party very angry?!"
Tong Lu was stunned for a moment, then nodded and replied,
"Hey, don't say it, this is a good way! Raising these insects must have bad intentions, let's take them all and make them cry, haha, haha!"
Xiao Yi said again,
"Hey, I remembered again, this insect is very afraid of fire, let's attract them and burn them with fire!"
Tong Lu laughed and replied,
"This method is better, I'm going to test it with fire!"
Tong Lu farts ran over, and quickly took a burning branch and put it into the broken jar, and those insects immediately ran around and ran for their lives! Heh, like the corpse insects, they are also afraid of fire, so it will be easy to deal with! Tong Lu played with the branch, and soon burned all these insects to death, and he was even more excited.
"Yes, yes, this insect is really afraid of fire! Brother Xiaoyi, let's go and burn them to the ground!"
Xiao Yi smiled, not in a hurry or slow to reply to him,
"How many more can we burn in this way? Let's invite them over when everything is ready!"
Tong Lu was a little puzzled, but Miss Liu had already figured it out, and said with a smile,
"What Brother Xiao Yi means is that we can use the carcass of this horse to lure these disgusting insects to one place, and then, with a big fire, burn them clean!"
