Chapter 22: Gu Poison

The four of them walked to Xiangxi Miao Village, and the sorrow was everywhere as far as the eye could see.

"I heard that there are many strange people in Xiangxi, and I want to open my eyes today. Xiao Mu smiled.

Liu Xunyin didn't care about it, squatted down to probe the patient's pulse, only to feel that the pulse came and went, the momentum was soft and hollow, and the rhythm was disordered. She didn't care much, and when she lifted the man's clothes, she saw that there was a foreign bulge in his abdomen, which seemed to be still moving.

"Ash, lend me your sword. ”

Ember knocked the patient unconscious with his sword and handed her the sword. Liu Xunyin measured the outline of the foreign object with his fingers: "This thing is swimming around, it must be disinfected before it is taken out." ”

Hearing this, Tang Qiqi snatched the wine jug in Xiao Mu's hand and handed it to Liu Xunyin.

"Hey, my centennial spring!" Xiao Mu stomped his feet and said, "It's a pity." ”

"Saving a life is better than building a seventh-level floating slaughter, what's the pity?" Liu Xunyin poured wine on the skin of the patient's abdomen and cut a hole with his sword. Then, with the finger force, the foreign object was forced to the edge, and it was pinched out with a clip.

The centipede that came out of its abdomen was covered in blood, still writhing flexibly.

"Centipede Gu, it's really vicious. Tang Qiqi turned his back on his face.

"Brother and sister, my father is dead, please save my mother, please!" A five or six-year-old girl took Liu Xunyin's hand and led her to a woman.

The woman had a high fever, severe pain in her abdomen, and vomited incessantly. Liu Xunyin asked, "Do you have a pharmacy here?"

"Yes, but Mr. Pharmacy is gone. The girl cried.

"It's okay, Qiqi, you come back with this kid to get some medicine, wash the three flavors of realgar, garlic, and calamus with boiling water, let this lady drink it, and expel the malice. ”

"Good. Tang Qiqi responded: "Sister, let's go." ”

After the woman drank the medicine according to Liu Xunyin's method, her complexion was indeed much calmer.

"Brother and sister, thank you. I'm going to give you candy. The little kite didn't wipe away her tears, stretched out her dirty little hand, and there was half a piece of sugar in her open palm: "I only have this one left." ”

Xiao Mu's throat moved, squatted down and touched her head: "Keep it for yourself, what's your name." ”

"My name is Little Kite. ”

"Little kites. Xiao Mu asked softly, "We are all thirsty, is there water here to drink?" ”

"Yes! Wait a minute. The little kite ran to the well and lifted the bucket with all his might, and Ember took the rope and brought the water up.

Wen Yan carefully looked at the water in the bowl for a long time, his face changed suddenly, and he stopped Xiao Mu and said sharply: "Don't drink it!"

Xiao Mu had swallowed a mouthful of water to his throat, Liu Xunyin quickly clicked on his acupuncture points when he heard the sound, and with a blow to his abdomen, he vomited out the water in one gulp.

"Hey, you two wives are singing with your husband, bullying me, a weak man who has no power to tie the chicken, it's too much. Xiao Mu said indignantly.

"Drink it, and you'll be like him. Wen Shen pointed to the patient who was lying on the ground moaning: "This is Gu Gu, putting poison in water, it is extremely difficult to detect. ”

"That's too ruthless, isn't it? Xiao Mu was surprised: "You can't even drink water." ”

"Gu Gu...... It's not impossible. Liu Xunyin asked an old woman next to her, "Can there be lime or alum?"

"Yes, yes, yes. The old woman nodded repeatedly.

"Clean the walls of the well with moss, sprinkle it with lime or alum, and in a few days you should be ready to drink. If it still doesn't work, try a few more times. They have no food and will die soon. ”

"Good. ”

Several people were busy taking care of the sick until late at night, when the little kite's mother rushed in with the sick body in a hurry, knelt on the ground and cried, "Please, please save my daughter." ”

"What's wrong with the little kite. Xiao Mu put down the medicine bowl in his hand and asked nervously.

"She said that she was going up the mountain to pick some berries for you to eat, but she hasn't come back yet, so she must have been caught by the Gu people. I searched all over the village and couldn't find it...... All I have left is this daughter...... I beg you......" The woman wept breathlessly.

"Calm down, which mountain did the little kite go to. Tang Qiqi asked.

"Looking at the direction she is going, it should be Wangu Mountain...... The group of grass ghost women lived in the temple on the top of the mountain. They must have taken the kite......"

"Grass Ghost Woman?" asked Liu Xunyin suspiciously.

"The girl doesn't know. The old woman next to her said: "The grass ghost woman is a woman who lives in symbiosis with Gu worms, and they seek personal gain by giving Gu to others. But if this Gu worm has been parasitic in the body for a long time and reproduces too much, the host itself is not enough to feed it, so he has to release it to harm others. ”

"Has this happened before?" asked Ember.

"No, we don't interfere with the river water with them, and they often go down the mountain to exchange for supplies. We respect them as members of the Five Immortal Sect, and the entire Eternal Mountain will no longer set foot on it. ”

"The Five Immortal Sect, the Five Immortal Sect is located in Yunnan, how can there be sect members stationed in Xiangxi?" Tang Qiqi asked in surprise.

"I don't know, they only came here the year before last. The woman at the head seems to be called ...... Laborious...... Xin Yishu. ”

"Xin Yishu?" Tang Qiqi was taken aback, and his expression changed greatly.

"Qiqi?" Liu Xunyin hurriedly helped her: "What's the matter?

"Hmm. Tang Qiqi nodded. "Xin Yishu was originally the chief disciple of the Five Immortals Sect, but for some reason he went mad and killed the sect leader's own daughter and many innocent people. After she defected, she couldn't be found, so she hid here. Tang Qiqi's eyes were full of hatred.

"The first priority is to find the child first. Wen Ember turned to the woman and said, "You are not healed, stay here first, and let us know if the child returns." Xunyin, Xiao Mu, Miss Tang, the four of us went up the mountain to find her. Then he looked at the old woman, "Can your mother-in-law lead the way?"

"Yes, come with me. The old woman trembled and stood up on her crutches.

Wangu Mountain is overgrown with weeds, thorns, and sometimes poisonous snakes pass through. The five lit torches and groped their way up the mountain, and the soldiers searched for a long time in two ways, and Liu Xunyin finally found the little kite in a cave.

Wen Ember released a signal flare into the air, and not long after, I saw the old woman and Tang Qiqi helping Xiao Mu to rush over, Xiao Mu's face was pale, and he was already a little unstable.

"What's wrong with you!" Liu Xunyin lifted the clothes on his arm and looked at it, only to see an extremely deep gap.

"Got bitten by a snake. Xiao Mu's voice was hoarse: "It's okay, Qiqi has already sucked the poison out." ”

Liu Xunyin picked some herbs near the entrance of the cave, grinded them, applied them to his wounds, and tied them tightly with a handkerchief. Then he handed the herbs to Tang Qiqi: "Qiqi, you chew for a while and spit it out, don't swallow it." ”

The little kite coughed a few times behind her and woke up.

"Little kite, what did you tell your sister you saw?" Liu Xunyin went over to help her up.

"Grass Ghost Woman...... I saw a lot of grass ghosts in the mountains and forests. The girl cried, "They got me here." ”

Liu Xunyin felt that the little kite was hot, so he took out the pill he had developed during the day from his arms and fed it to it. Ember slashed his hand with his sword, using blood as a guide.

The little kite frowned, in great pain, and vomited a lot of black liquid. Liu Xunyin flicked a branch with a branch, and there were a few golden silkworms.

"It's so ruthless that he doesn't even let go of the child. Tang Qiqi said angrily.

The golden silkworm moved on the ground, touching the blood that Wen Ember placed on the ground, and violently retracted its body.

"This Gu poison doesn't seem to work for you. Liu Xunyin wondered.

Xiao Mu pondered for a long time, and smiled knowingly: "Gongzi Wen has deep internal strength, and Xu has dissolved the poison by himself." ”

"I've never heard of anything like this. Liu Xunyin frowned.

"Maybe human blood can solve this Gu?" Wen Shen took the sword and slashed his palm, and the blood slipped down the tip of the knife drop by drop: "Little kite, you drink and see." ”

The girl trembled and did not dare to move.

"Don't be afraid, little kite. Liu Xunyin persuaded softly.

The little kite plucked up the courage to close her eyes and swallow it, but the abnormality of her body did not dissipate.

"It didn't work. Wen Ember was a little disappointed: "Is it really because of internal force?" ”

"I'll try. Tang Qiqi slashed his finger with a sword, and the golden silkworm ran away when it touched her blood. Xiao Mu covered his face with a fan, and the confusion between his eyebrows deepened a little.

"Strange. Liu Xunyin frowned and said, "Most of these poisoned people are unarmed residents, even if we can cure them temporarily, there is no guarantee that the people who have poisoned Gu will not commit murder again." What are they doing this for?"

"Mother-in-law. Wen Ember asked, "Where is the Hundred Temples, let's go up and find out." ”

"Ladies and gentlemen, if you stay here, we can survive for a few days, and if you go up and encounter an accident, we really have no way to live. The old woman knelt down and said with tears in her eyes: "It's very dangerous there, please think twice." ”

"Mother-in-law. Liu Xunyin helped her up: "I have written down all the effective treatment methods in the test and handed them over to the doctors in your village, and staying there is just a manpower." It's better to find out what is going on, and give you peace and quiet. ”

"Then you must be careful. When the old woman saw that they insisted on this, she wept and said, "The temple of the hundred gods is at the top of the mountain, and you can climb up the road they are going down the mountain." ”

"Mother-in-law, don't worry, the child will be handed over to you. Liu Xunyin put the sleeping little kite into her mother-in-law's arms.

"Why bother so much, wouldn't it be nice to burn down their hall with a fire. Xiao Mu complained while climbing the mountain.

"It's not just poison, it's people. Liu Xunyin said.

"They have a harmful heart, so why should they have mercy. You doctors are too kind-hearted. ”

"Don't forget, there are still some residents in the village who have no cure for their Gu, if they have the heart to change their ways, they can save people's lives. ”

"That being said, some bad guys still have to be on guard. Xiao Mu said.

"For example?" Tang Qiqi asked.

"Like me. Xiao Mu responded, and when he saw a few people stop and look at him seriously, he said softly: "I'm joking." ”

"Who are you?" When they arrived at the entrance of the main hall, many purple-clothed girls stretched out their hands to stop them.

"Tell Xin Yishu that the deceased is visiting. ”

"Are you a person from the Valley of Forgotten Sorrows?" the purple-clothed girl led by her saw that she had a white fox fur hanging from her waist.

"You don't have to worry about that. Tang Qiqi sneered: "Go in and report it." ”

After a while, the girl in purple came out and opened the door: "Master, please come in." ”

The hall was crawling with poisonous snakes and centipedes, and in the center there was a road paved with white powder, and Wen Ember and his party walked along it, and the poison shrank back after touching it slightly.

"Xin Yishu?" Tang Qiqi saw that in the center of the main hall stood with her back to them, a woman dressed in Miao costumes, with a graceful figure, covered with crescent moon silver ornaments, shining.

"Tang Qiqi?" the woman slowly turned around and smiled, "It's been a long time." ”
