Chapter 9: Strange Diseases
In the middle of the night, Shi Yi was woken up by a painful * sound, opened his sleepy eyes, and saw that the door of Xiaoyan's room on the left was empty, and the light was on inside. Another muffled snort came into his ears, Shi Yi stepped over the sleeping head, walked over lightly, and looked inside through the crack in the door.
The first thing that caught my eye was an oil lamp lit on a wooden table, the flames faltering, and perhaps because of the hurry, the lampshade fell to the ground nearby. Next to the wooden table, there was a bed, the quilt had been kicked to the ground, and it was Xiaoyan on the bed. At the moment, he was curled up in a ball, his whole body was shaking, his teeth were clenched, and he let out a burst of * from time to time. On the side of the bed, Li Baosheng was vigorously holding Xiao Yan's hands clasped tightly on her head, for fear that she would scratch her scalp too hard, while Li Hong massaged Xiao Yan with both hands, trying to make her more comfortable. After a stalemate, Li Baosheng turned his head and shouted "Go and decoct the medicine!"
At this time, the movement had already woken up Datou, and he walked to him blankly, and was also shocked by the scene in front of him, Xiao Yan said, "I'm not in good health", it turned out to be so bad. Walking into the room and sitting down next to Li Baosheng, Li Baosheng smiled ugly at him. Shi Yi learned Li Hong's technique just now and pressed Xiao Yan for a while, and found that Xiao Yan was getting more and more painful, and even began to convulse, sweating profusely. Suddenly, his mind flashed the method that his grandfather used to stretch his muscles and bones, and hurriedly put his right hand on the top of Xiaoyan's head and closed his eyes. A faint layer of white light started from Shi Yi's right hand, wrapping Xiao Yan's whole person, under the baptism of white light, Xiao Yan's frowning brows gradually relaxed, and her curled up body slowly became relaxed, and after a while, she changed her posture comfortably and snored.
Seeing that Xiao Yan was asleep, Shi Yi withdrew his spiritual power, wiped the sweat on his head, breathed a sigh of relief, and said to the stunned Li Baosheng, "Uncle Li, let's go out to talk", Li Baosheng reacted, glanced at Xiao Yan again, covered her with the quilt again, and the three of them went out of the room and sat down at the table in the lobby. At this time, Li Hong, who was holding the medicine, pushed the door in, saw the three of them sitting at the table, and entered the room to confirm her daughter's condition, before putting down the medicine, holding the oil lamp, and sat down together.
For a moment, none of the four of them spoke, only the flames crackled and burned. After being silent for a while, Shi Yi said, "Uncle Li, what kind of disease is Xiao Yan?" Li Baosheng sighed and replied, "Alas, Xiao Yan has had this strange disease since she was born, and it was okay before, it only happened once every three or four months, the situation is not so serious, and the anti-primary antibody has passed, and the attacks have become more and more frequent in the past two years, and each time it is more and more painful." After a big gesture, Shi Yi said on his behalf, "Did you go to see it?" Li Hong took over the conversation, "Look, over the years, I and the head of the family have invited Lang Zhong to come to the village to see, and we have spent a lot of money, but nothing has improved." Later, a passing Lang Zhong said that Xiaoyan was poisoned by yin, and ordinary drugs were useless, so he prescribed a prescription for us, saying that it could suppress the pain during the attack, but there was no way to cure it. "Then did he say how to cure it" Li Baosheng sighed again and said, "That Lang Zhong said that if you want to cure it, you must ask a clever pharmacist to refine a special detoxification pill, but you said, where did we come from a pharmacist in this poor and remote country, but I heard that there are many Sword Immortal Cities in the north, but they are all above the top, we have no power and power, how can we have the ability to ask someone to refine the pill!"
After being silent for a while, Li Baosheng continued: "That Lang Zhong said that there is another way, that is, to go to the north side of Xuanwu Mountain, which is dozens of miles away, to catch a monster called Netherworld Ghost Fire, and use its fire to decoction medicine! Over the years, we have also spent money to invite many strong men to catch them, but they all returned in vain, and two people died in the middle, so it was over. Shi Yi and Datou glanced at each other, and made a decision in their hearts, Shi Yi slapped the table, "Uncle Li, let's go tomorrow!" Li Baosheng stood up suddenly when he heard this, and said hurriedly, "Absolutely not, it is rumored that the ghost fire is mysterious and abnormal, the two little brothers and my family have never known each other, so they can't take this risk!"
The big head raised a finger, pressed it against the tabletop, and with a force, he snorted, penetrated the tabletop, and looked at Li Baosheng silently. Li Baosheng was startled by his hand, looked at the hole on the table, and remembered the white light that comforted Xiao Yan just now, knowing that the two teenagers in front of him were not mortals, a wave of hope rose in his heart, and he nodded and agreed.
I asked some of them about the specific location of the ghost fire, and they rested and didn't say anything all night.
In the early morning of the next day, the villagers learned that the two teenagers who came yesterday were going to catch the ghost fire, and they all rushed to see them off when they heard the news.
At the entrance of the village, Xiao Yan took Shi Yi's hand, "Brother Shi Yi, you have to promise me that you must put your own integrity first, it doesn't matter if Xiao Yan's illness is cured or not!" Shi Yi rubbed her head, "Don't worry, Xiao Yan, let's go this time, we will definitely catch that ghost fire!" Look at your big brother, how domineering he is. The big head on the side puffed up his chest hard, and Xiao Yan smiled...
The two brothers followed the road pointed out by Li Baosheng to the east until there was no road in front of the west in the afternoon before they stopped, rested for a while, Shi Yi climbed the nearest big tree, raised his eyes and looked around, the high peaks of Xuanwu Mountain loomed in the clouds in the direction of his south, and in front of him was a large area of wasteland that could not be seen, large and small dirt bags rose and fell one after another, the same as Li Baosheng described.
This place is called "Deserted Tomb Ridge", the legend is that it is a battlefield in ancient times, countless monks buried their bones here, powerful resentment gathered, and a kind of monster was born, which eats people's hearts and lungs, and is called "Netherworld Ghost Fire", and over time this place is rarely inhabited, and it becomes more desolate and terrifying.
Jumping off the tree, Shi Yi said to the big head, "Big head, this is what Uncle Li said, he said that the ghost fire only comes out to wander at night, and it is still early, let's rest first", the two found a shady place and sat down.
Shi Yi took out the demon suppression and wiped it carefully, they had never seen the Netherworld Ghost Fire, and they didn't know what their strength was, but for the sake of Xiao Yan's poison, they wanted to bring it back anyway. The big head was also silent, waved the axe in his hand, and nodded with satisfaction.
The two quietly wait for the night to come...
