Wen An told everyone about the past. Wang Xue sat across from him and listened. Yin Chunhong stood behind Wen An like a child.

Wen An said: "When I was young, I was a martial artist, and I always wanted to be chivalrous and righteous to help the strong. I have traveled a lot, I have grown a lot of knowledge, and I have made many like-minded friends. Among them, there is a girl named Xiao Yi who is the most close to me, I was young and crazy at that time, Xiao Yi is also young, we are determined to work together to break through the rivers and lakes and do something vigorous. Oh, at that time we were still too young, and some of our blood was strong, so instead of doing something earth-shattering, it was better to live in a plain and ordinary idle life......"

Wang Xue couldn't help but interject and said: "What's wrong with the blood and qi Fanggang, I just want to take advantage of my youth and walk around the rivers and lakes more, I don't want to live in seclusion in the countryside and live a life of planting beans under the South Mountain." ”

Wen An smiled: "You are playful and impatient, if you plant beans in the south of the mountain, then the grass will inevitably be thin." Perhaps, when you reach my age, you will want to make life duller. ”

Wang Xue thought to herself: "That's not necessarily. But he no longer reasoned with him. Seeing that Wang Xue was no longer talking, Wen An continued: "One day, we heard that there was a bloodthirsty strange man in Yaojia Village, and we heard that this person was extremely cruel, and I don't know how many lives have been killed. Xiao Yi was chivalrous and came to the village to investigate. We visited seven or eight families in a row, but no one knew the origin of the vampire monster, only that he lived in the mountains and forests. Yaojia Village has a legend of blood-sucking monsters since its origin, and the villagers rarely dare to go up the mountain on weekdays. I guess that the strange man wants to suck human blood, he should be infected with a strange disease, he is not born weird, in any case, he is an ordinary person and not some monster, I join forces with Xiao Yi to eradicate this person should not be difficult. That was more than 10 years ago, when you children were not yet 10 years old. Alas......"

Yin Chunhong suddenly screamed and said, "That black-robed woman! She is Xiao Yi, I said that I always think she is familiar, and I always remember seeing her in the village." Zhihui slapped her thigh and shouted: "Yes, that day I came to practice martial arts, she also gave me some pastries bought from the county, and asked me to bring them back for you to taste, I was too young at that time, I only remember to eat, I didn't pay attention to her appearance, and now she is wearing a black robe, I can't recognize her." ”

Lin Xuan frowned and thought for a while, and asked, "She gave us pastries? Why don't I remember all of this?" Zhihui blushed, lowered his head and said: "That pastry, pastry......" Lin Xuantou shouted: "The pastry was swallowed by you, wasn't it? I'll come back to you later to settle accounts!"

Wen An said: "The black-robed woman you met today is indeed Xiao Yi. Xiao Yi and I searched the mountain for several days that day, but we never saw the vampire monster, just as we wanted to go down the mountain and return, we suddenly heard a beast roar in the mountains and forests, and more than a dozen black-robed people suddenly rushed out and surrounded us. The black-robed man suddenly appeared, and without saying a word, he came up and beat him. I thought to myself that my martial arts were superior, and Xiao Yi's martial arts were also very exquisite, but we two young people, no matter how high and high our martial arts were, how could we defeat more than ten of them? I used all my internal strength, knocked down the two of them with two palms, and fled down the mountain with Xiao Yi, I didn't want to go downhill, my feet slipped, and I fell, Xiao Yi slipped and fell down, and rolled to the other side of the hill. I was overwhelmed and thought this was the end. I shouted, 'Xiao Yi!' Xiao Yi shouted, 'Come down the mountain, we'll meet at the head of the village!' Those black-robed people didn't have very high martial arts, but they were surprisingly fast, and they chased after them in a moment. At that time, the situation was dangerous, and I didn't have time to think about it, I only remembered Xiao Yi's words in my heart: Hurry down the mountain and meet at the head of the village. I ran down the hill without looking back, and the black-robed men stopped chasing after me. I came to the village and waited for several days, but I still didn't see Xiao Yi, I think Xiao Yi may have been caught by them and sucked blood. Alas, Xiao Yi may have known that she was unfortunate the moment she slipped and fell to the ground, she was afraid that I would die in the mountains and forests with her, so she yelled at me to run away. Alas, I'm such a cowardly waste, why didn't I dare to let go and cover Xiao Yi to get out of trouble, she still wanted me to go down the mountain when she was in danger, I ......"

Wen An said this, his face was remorseful and anxious, and the words that followed were incoherent, but Wang Xue, Lin Guantou and others also heard that he was scolding himself for being a pus-filled stupid person and a monster.

Yin Chunhong shouted: "Uncle, you are not a fool, you are a hero, you saved my life." Real monsters have more skills than you can hoe the strong and help the weak, but they won't do it, they will only harm people. Zhihui said: "Yes, uncle, no one had time to think about how dangerous the situation was at that time, not to mention that even if you stay, I am afraid that you will not be able to save Aunt Xiao Yi." ”

Wen An said in a low voice: "Good boy, you are all good children!" sighed and continued: "I lived in the village for a few days, and I never saw Xiao Yi, but I saw her in my dreams every night. One night I dreamed back in the middle of the night, and I couldn't bear it anymore, and decided to go up the mountain to find her, even if I only found her body, and I buried her body alive, and I could also reduce the pain of lovesickness a little, and it was a big deal to die on the mountain. I put on a casual cloak and strode up the hill. Passing by the dry well in the east of the village, I suddenly heard a miserable scream, and it turned out that the black-robed man had gone down the mountain to commit murder again. I hurriedly rushed over to check, only to see that this time only two black-robed people came down the mountain, one of them was Xiao Yi you saw today, she didn't have a black veil on her head at that time, I could recognize it at a glance. When I saw that Xiao Yi was not dead, I was overjoyed, and when I saw that she was killing people and sucking blood with that group of thieves, I was so frightened and sad that my mind was dizzy and I almost fainted. The black-robed man who came down with her came up to suck my blood. What I'm afraid of is that they will attack in groups, what am I afraid of alone? I waved my palm and knocked the black-robed man away, and asked Xiao Yi loudly, why did he do such a hurtful thing. Xiao Yi didn't answer me and rushed towards the mountains and forests. My heart was chaotic and dazed, and when I saw her far away, I didn't chase after her. ”

Wang Xue sighed: "That Xiao Yi thinks that she was also infected with some disease, I see that her expression is a little sick, and her mind seems to be unclear." ”

Wen An said: "I think it's the same, I've gone up the mountain many times to look for her in the past few years, and every time she has made a killing move at me, if it weren't for her delirium, she wouldn't have attacked me anyway." I chased her in a hurry when I went up the mountain the other day, and in a hurry, she took a jar from the cave where she was staying and threw it at me, so that she was able to escape. I took it casually, and smelled a faint smell of herbs on the jar, thinking that it was related to this crazy blood-sucking strange disease, tomorrow when Zhang Langzhong came to the village to practice medicine, I had to ask him, maybe the key to getting rid of this group of harmful spirits is this. ”

Wang Xue's heart moved, and asked, "What kind of altar, can you let me take a look?" Wen An pointed to the root of the wall and said, "That's it." Wang Xue saw that there was a medium-sized wine jar at the base of the wall, and the mouth of the altar had turned slightly yellow, which was obviously stored for a long time, so she went to pick it up and smelled a strong smell of herbs in the jar.

Everyone saw Wang Xue looking at the altar with a solemn face, and they all knew what she had seen. Zhihui asked, "Do you know this wine jar?" Wang Xue said: "This is not a wine jar, the jar used to contain poison." This poison is colorless and odorless, and a person's temperament will change greatly if he touches it. The first strange man who sucked human blood must have been infected with this poison, and then there was the legend of the vampire monster. Lin Xuantou said strangely: "How do you know this?" Wang Xue held the jar and examined it carefully, and said: "There is a group of bandits living on the Shanyi Peak of Bozi Mountain, and their bandit leader is called Boshanyuan, this Boshanyuan has a family heirloom poison, and it has never been used in such an altar. I have formed a bond with the Liangshan Gang, and I have seen this kind of altar poison many times, and I can't make a mistake. Wen An said thoughtfully: "Bozi Mountain is a group of mountains near Bozi Town, I went to it once when I was young, Bozi Mountain is dozens of miles away from here, how can this family heirloom poison from Boshan be here?" Wang Xue shook her head and said: "I don't know this, I can only ask Boshan Yuan himself; Since this poison is a family poison, it may have been placed here by the ancestors of Boshanyuan, but it is difficult to say. ”

Yin Chunhong said: "Sister Wang, since you know so much, then you must have a way to make an antidote, right?" Wang Xue pouted and replied: "I do know two friends who can make antidotes, but they both live on Bozi Mountain, and they lack the duck plantar grass and snow chrysanthemum that are only available in spring, so it is useless to invite the two of them." ”

When everyone heard this, their hearts were gloomy, and at the same time, they all thought of such a thing: The blood-sucking demons have been harming people for a long time, even if they can really make an antidote, so what, the demons still have to kill people to pay for their lives? Lin Xuantou said: "Don't think about the antidote for the time being, it is more important to think about how to get rid of that group of murderers now." Wang Xue said: "I have a way to get rid of them, using eucalyptus leaves." The bloodthirsty monsters were afraid of eucalyptus leaves, so we applied the juice of eucalyptus leaves to the blades of our soldiers, and carried some eucalyptus juice with us up the mountain. Zhi Huiqi said: "You said eucalyptus, how do you know that vampire monsters are afraid of eucalyptus?" Wang Xue smiled: "One of the reasons is that eucalyptus has a good detoxification effect, and ordinary poisons can be detoxified with eucalyptus leaves." The old people used to say that there must be an antidote within seven steps of the poisonous snake, and the demons did not dare to hunt us down when we were in the pond, probably because I had a few eucalyptus leaves growing beside me. The medicinal smell in this jar is eucalyptus leaves, I was sick when I was a child, and I ate eucalyptus leaves for several days, and I knew it as soon as I smelled it. Zhihui asked, "What about the second reason?" Wang Xue said: "The second reason is this. As he spoke, he turned the altar and turned the bottom of the altar to the sky, only to see the word "eucalyptus leaf" engraved on the bottom of the altar with a sharp blade, and a dead corpse-like person and several heavy diagonal lines engraved on the side. Since this altar is a blood-sucking monster, it obviously means that plants such as eucalyptus leaves must not be touched. Wang Xue said: "The group of monsters doesn't seem to be very good at talking, so they use this hand-drawn method instead of dictation to send messages to their companions. ”

Yin Chunhong said: "It turns out that eucalyptus leaves are the antidote. Did your two friends in Bozi Town also use eucalyptus leaves as a medicine guide when making the antidote?" Wang Xue shook her head and said, "That's not it. This poison is very peculiar, and different people have different temperaments after being stained, some people will become infinitely powerful, and some people will become like humans and beasts, so the antidote required is also similar. After thinking for a while, he said: "Ordinary people will not feel anything if they get the juice of eucalyptus leaves, but the group of strange people on the mountain will be in unbearable pain." ”

Zhihui got up and said: "Now without further ado, Brother Guantou, let's pick eucalyptus leaves immediately, Wang Xue Chunhong, you two will mash the eucalyptus leaves into juice, and we will go up the mountain tomorrow." Uncle Wen'an ......, but saw that Wen'an ignored his words and got up and entered the house.

Yin Chunhong sighed lightly and said, "We will go up the mountain tomorrow to hoe and rape, and Aunt Xiao Yi is no exception, Uncle Wen'an is very sad in his heart." Zhihui shouted: "Then there is no way, you can't keep Aunt Xiao Yi and continue to kill people and suck blood!" Lin Xuantou asked Wang Xue: "You said that if you smear eucalyptus juice on the monsters, you can get rid of it; if you take eucalyptus juice internally, can it get rid of the poison in Aunt Xiao's body?" Wang Xue replied: "I think most of the time I can't, but you can give it a try." She has lived in the mountains with Li Hao, Bu Ziyi and others for several months, and she already understands medicine, but she is not a real Langzhong after all, and Bo Shanyuan's poison is very weird, and she doesn't understand it in her heart. Zhihui knew that Lin Guantou's question was to remove the poison in Xiao Yi's body, and then take her back to Wen'an, and frowned: "Aunt Xiao Yi's poison is solved, so what, even if Uncle Wen'an is willing to forgive her, will the villagers let her go?" Lin Xuan bowed his head and did not answer, and after a while, he said: "Let's go pick eucalyptus leaves first, Aunt Xiao's business, let's see the opportunity tomorrow." Zhihui saw Lin Xuan's head open to ask himself, so he didn't ask anymore, and he really didn't know what to do.

That night, everyone picked leaves and pounded medicine for a while, and when they were ugly, the three large jars in the courtyard were filled with eucalyptus leaf juice, and the bitter taste of eucalyptus leaves was everywhere inside and outside the courtyard. Lin Xuan put down the stone pestle and said, "It's late, let's go back to sleep, and we'll be in this round tomorrow morning." ”

Wang Xue put down the stone pestle and walked to the west of the village, she had nowhere to sleep, so she had to go back to Uncle Ma Jun's warehouse to sleep with the haystack. Yaojia Village was built behind the mountain, there was no moonlight at night, Wang Xue was used to walking at night, and the four tokens in her arms had been coated with eucalyptus juice, and she was not afraid in her heart.

Walking to the path, he suddenly saw a figure in the distance slowly approaching, Wang Xue was on guard in his heart, ordinary villagers were afraid of vampire monsters, and they didn't dare to go out in the dark, and there were absolutely no people walking on the village road late at night. The figure had not yet approached, and suddenly shouted weakly: "Wang Xue, Wang Xue." Wang Xue heard that it was Ma Jun's voice, and hurriedly stepped forward and said: "Uncle is me, why are you going out so late, aren't you afraid of being sucked out of blood by bad people?" Ma Jun smiled bitterly: "I'm a lot older, and I have nothing to worry about, I don't care if I live a few more days or a few days less." Wang Xue couldn't help but feel sorry when she heard what he said.

I only heard Ma Jun say: "There is a person who claims to be the Wicked Gang who came to the warehouse, saying that he is looking for you to seek revenge, that person is strong in martial arts, I think you should not go back to the warehouse tonight, go to Chunhong's house to hide for a night." Ahem, you kid is so naughty, you offend people everywhere. When Wang Xue heard the words "Gang of the Wicked", her heart was shocked, and when she saw Ma Jun's tired eyes and sad face, she knew that he must have been bullied by the wicked people who came, and thought: "In the end, the evil people still rely on the power of the Gang of Wicked to find me." These bad guys couldn't find me, so they vented their anger on Uncle Ma Jun. So he asked, "How many people have come to the Gang of the Wicked?" Ma Jun replied, "There is only one person, and he claims to be the 'Earth Evil'." Alas, this man has come here specifically to seek revenge on you, and he has stayed in the warehouse, and he will not give up until you wait. Wang Xue knew that the Gang of Wicked People had always respected evil, and there was a word "evil" in the name of the masters in the gang, and the spirit evil was an example, so he had no doubt at the moment, grabbed Ma Jun's hand and said, "Uncle, let's go to the warehouse." Ma Jun exclaimed: "Go, what are you doing in the warehouse?" Wang Xue said: "I want to see the evil of the earth and see my Wang Xue's methods." Ma Jun hurriedly stopped: "You can't go, you can't go, you are young, you really shouldn't give your life in vain, his martial arts are really good, he can kick down a haystack with one kick." Wang Xue didn't answer, and dragged Ma Jun's hand to the warehouse.

When the two arrived at the door of the warehouse, Wang Xue whispered in Ma Jun's ear: "Uncle, you wait for me here, no matter what movement you hear inside, don't go in." If I repel the wickedness of the land, it will not be too late for you to come in again. Ma Jun said in a trembling voice: "If it's you, you, can't you win?" Wang Xue said: "If I am defeated, I will think of fleeing." You must have hidden it, the Wicked Gang is extremely vicious, they can't catch me, I'm afraid it won't be so easy to let you go. "Look up at the door of the warehouse, see that although the lights in the door are bright, I don't know what kind of cruel good hand lives inside, I feel slightly timid in my heart, I remember the last time I fought with the spirit and evil, although the two of them are in the middle of the martial arts, but the spirit evil moves are ferocious and sinister, it is really better than themselves, this evil is prepared, I am afraid that it will be more difficult to deal with than the spirit evil. Seeing Wang Xue's eyes, Ma Jun knew that she didn't dare to go in, so he said softly: "I think we can hide elsewhere, you little girl, you don't have to go in and fight with these bandits." Wang Xue thought to herself: "If I don't go in and fight, the Wicked Gang will never let you go." This is my bond with the Gang of the Wicked, but I can't drag you down. Wen Yan said: "Uncle, I had nowhere to stay last night, thanks to your kindness." I didn't expect me to take revenge and lead wicked people to you, and I apologize to you. As he spoke, he stood up, bowed to Ma Jun, and then strode towards the warehouse.

Wang Xue walked into the warehouse, only to see that in addition to a few lanterns lit up, there were only large bundles of haystacks and a small wooden table in the warehouse. Where are you?"

As soon as the words fell, I suddenly heard a cold voice behind me say, "I'm here." Wang Xue's heart sank, and she hurriedly waved the token to protect herself, and then she dared to look back, only to see a middle-aged man dressed as a villager with a scruffy beard standing at the door, who was not Ma Jun? Wang Xue was really surprised, and said dumbly: "Uncle Ma Jun, you, it's you, it's you, you are, it's ......" Ma Jun's eyes were gloomy, and he changed his usual local atmosphere, and said with a calm face: "I am the evil of the Wicked Gang, I kindly reminded you, it was you who had to come in and die, which can't blame me." Wang Xuewu was surprised, and when she heard Ma Jun say this, she said casually: "You are kind." ”

Ma Jun said: "You walked into the warehouse last night, I guessed that you were Wang Xue in the mouth of the spirit evil when I looked at your age and appearance, and I saw that your pace was swift and natural, and your martial arts were really not low, so I was even more suspicious in my heart......" Wang Xue calmed down and interjected: "Later, when you saw me making the token fight with Lin Xuantou, you had no doubt in your heart, and dared to assert that I was Wang Xue." Ma Jun said, "Not bad at all. I could have gotten rid of you last night while you were asleep, but it is not the act of a great husband to kill you in this way, and you will not be able to die. You woke up today and went out to find Yin Chunhong, I didn't have time to keep you, seeing that you didn't return for a long time, I was really worried that you would not return if you went away, so I hurriedly went out to look for it. Now that you're back in the warehouse, it's good that I'll be waiting here for a few days. ”

Wang Xueqi said: "Wait for a few days? You knew a few days ago that I would pass by Yaojia Village? ”
