Text Chapter 13 The Bitter Arou
Wei Xiaoyue was very surprised when she heard Lan Jiuming say this, "What kind of Gu is it?"
"I'm not sure, I want you to take a look," Lan Jiuming coughed lightly and continued: "Her heart pulse is normal, but her breathing is weak, and she has a bulging bag in her hand, but she suddenly moves above her arm, which is very abnormal!"
"I understand, this girl may still be saved!" Wei Xiaoyue stepped forward and said to Aunt Ye, "Aunt Ye, can I take a look at my sister?"
Aunt Ye hesitated a little and turned her head to look at Hu Yongsheng.
Seeing this, Hu Yongsheng said: "My sister has a strange disease, and she can't be cured, and she is ulcerated, and her face is terrible, which intimidates Miss Xiaoyue." β
"Brother Hu don't worry," Wei Xiaoyue said, and gently lifted the red cloth on his head, although he was prepared, he couldn't help but cry out with an "ah", Lan Jiuming leaned in, and the scene he saw was shocking: the face had been completely deformed, the excessive swelling had squeezed the facial features without contours, and what was even more terrifying was that there were local ulcers and pus flowing out. Wei Xiaoyue gently lifted her collar, and her neck was also festering!
"Aunt Ye, how did my sister get like this?" Wei Xiaoyue asked.
The aunt couldn't stop wiping her tears, "She went to the back mountain to dig wild vegetables a few days ago, and when she came back, she said she had a headache, and then she fainted, at first I thought she was too tired, so I let her lie down and rest for a while, but I didn't expect that after a night, her body began to fester, and she couldn't be cured." β
Wei Xiaoyue checked her pulse and said, "It's strange, no matter how you look at her, she is terminally ill, but her pulse is very stable, without any traces of decay, only occasionally she loses her pulse!"
"What is a loss of pulse?" Hu Yongsheng asked.
"It's the intermittent cessation of the pulse, normally speaking, the loss of the pulse occurs in the process of weakening the pulse, but she is very stable, and this situation is not normal. Wei Xiaoyue looked at Lan Jiuming and said, "There is indeed something swimming in her body, she is not sick, but Gu!"
Lan Jiuming stepped forward, stretched out his hand and was just about to take the pulse, but was grasped by this girl, this time to his surprise, he could clearly feel the temperature of life, the desire to survive, and an indescribable strange feeling, dΓ©jΓ vu! This girl's facial features have been distorted, but he can vaguely see tears in the corners of her eyes.
Lan Jiuming couldn't bear it in his heart, and asked, "Xiaoyue, can you unravel the Gu on her body?"
"Although she is very deep in Gu, as long as she knows what kind of Gu she has been hit, she can be saved!"
When Aunt Ye on the side heard this, she saw a glimmer of light in the vast dark night, and grabbed Wei Xiaoyue's hand: "You said that Arou is still saved! Save her! Save her!" The aunt was already kneeling on the ground and crying silently.
Lan Jiuming and Wei Xiaofeng hurriedly helped her up, "Aunt Ye, we can't be sure what Gu Ah Rou fell for now, only those who find the Gu will know." Wei Xiaoyue felt a little helpless,
"But I can delay the onset of the poisonous Gu temporarily, and I can buy her some time!"
"Can you save her?" Hu Yongsheng never believed it, in his eyes, his sister was no longer breathing, "If the sister comes back to life, the Yin Soldier will not come!"
Lan Jiuming suddenly remembered something, and hurriedly asked, "Brother Hu, what happened to the Yin soldiers crossing the border that you said?"
"They are ghosts from hell!" Hu Yongsheng felt deep fear at the mention of this, "Whenever a woman in the village is seriously ill and dies, they will come to the village on the yin wind and take away the corpse!"
"Take away the corpse?" Lan Jiuming sensed that something was wrong, and continued to ask, "They all said that it is safe to go into the ground, do you just let them take the corpse away?"
"We don't dare to stop it, there were people who didn't believe in evil before, and they didn't let them move, but as a result, the family bled to death, and there were people in our village who came out to walk and encountered the Yin soldiers crossing the border, and their souls were sucked away, and the whole person's spirit was completely broken, and now we don't dare to go out at night. β
Lan Jiuming sneered, "If my guess is right, they don't want all corpses, as long as the woman's corpse and the condition are exactly the same as the girl!"
"Yes, these Yin soldiers have great powers, and they can calculate who has something in the house, and even the date of death, as long as the door of the house is painted with a ghost charm, it indicates that the end is approaching, and they will come on time on the night of their last breath. β
"Knowing that the Yin Soldier will appear in the next two days, why do you still want to go out?" Wei Xiaoyue asked.
"Alas, I'm going to grab some medicine for my sister, although it can't cure my sister's illness, but it can relieve her pain, and the last journey is more comfortable. β
"Brother Hu, you are such a brave person!" Wei Xiaofeng said with admiration.
"Brother Ming, I used my internal strength to suppress the Gu in her body first, and then used acupuncture to assist, which should be able to ensure her life for three days. β
"What about three days later?" Wei Xiaofeng said, "It's not a way to keep losing internal strength to her, you can't find the mother Gu, and there's still no way to save her fundamentally." β
"Where to find the female Gu is indeed a problem!" Wei Xiaoyue frowned, "Why don't you go to the back mountain to have a look, maybe you will find something?"
"I'm a little eyebrows, there is a big problem with this group of Yin soldiers!" Lan Jiuming pondered for a while and said slowly, "All kinds of signs show that the so-called Yin soldiers are all covering up, they specifically pick women to attack, and they can calculate the date of death, this is definitely not a coincidence!"
"Brother Ming, what do you mean ......"
"I suspect that they are not Yin soldiers at all, but a group of people who can use strange tricks, taking advantage of people's fear of ghosts and gods, pretending to be Yin soldiers, and focusing on young and beautiful women to satisfy their selfish desires, those women are not really dead, but fake death after being hit by Gu, so she has a stable pulse but has a loss of pulse. β
Lan Jiuming continued: "They can accurately calculate the date of death, that is to say, they know very well the day of the attack of the poisonous Gu, so this Gu is under them, and if you find them, you can find a way to solve the Gu!"
"That's right, so it's all explained, find them, and Sister Arou will be saved. β
Wei Xiaofeng clenched his fists and said loudly: "Brother Ming, without further ado, let's go to find this group of thieves." β
"We don't need to look for it, they will deliver it to the door themselves!"
"That's right, they'll come over tonight, I'll go to the courtyard and wait for them!" Wei Xiaofeng couldn't wait to meet these Yin soldiers now, so he walked out of the house.
Hu Yongsheng was overjoyed when he heard that his sister was saved, and when he heard that he was going to deal with the Yin soldiers, he felt that the three of them must be crazy, "Don't be reckless, we can't afford to provoke the Yin soldiers, and it will affect the whole village!"
"Then you don't want to save your sister?" Lan Jiuming asked.
Hu Yongsheng and his aunt looked at each other and ran out of ideas. Lan Jiuming stepped forward and comforted: "Brother Hu, auntie, don't worry, you will definitely be completely protected." β
Auntie sighed, "Alas, my daughter's life is miserable, if I can save her, I am willing to try anything, if something happens, I will bear the consequences!"
"Xiaoyue, you help her suppress the Gu poison first, I'll go and wait in the courtyard, if the Yin soldiers come over tonight, I'll serve them in one pot!"
"Auntie, come here, I need your help. Wei Xiaoyue and her aunt took off the girl's clothes in the back room, the ulcers on her body were shocking, the two helped her up and sat on the bed, and Wei Xiaoyue slowly injected internal strength into her......
Lan Jiuming, Wei Xiaofeng, and Hu Yongsheng sat in the courtyard chatting, "Brother Hu, is Miss Arou your sister-in-law?"
Hu Yongsheng sighed lightly and said, "It's a sister-in-law!"
"I heard you call her Auntie, what's going on?" Wei Xiaofeng asked curiously.
"My sister-in-law's name is Ye Yurou, the daughter of my father and aunt, and Arou and I are half-siblings. Auntie married from other places, and when she first married into our family, the whole family was spoiled like a treasure, just to let her inherit the Hu family. Hu Yongsheng said that his expression was a little gloomy, "I didn't expect the first child I gave birth to was a girl, my father was that kind of special traditional person, I was very unhappy, my aunt was kicked out of bed on the third day after giving birth to a child and began to work, my weak body and the huge gap in treatment made my aunt have a serious illness, my father looked at my aunt even more, and the next year, he married the second room, that is, my mother." β
After thousands of years, the Taoyuan people who once created freedom still couldn't escape the feudal thoughts, Lan Jiuming was silent and continued to listen to Hu Yongsheng's narration: " Later, my mother gave birth to me, and I became the only male in the family, my father was very happy, and poured all his love into our mother, Auntie's status is getting lower and lower, like a maid, the rough work at home is not left behind, and then Auntie became pregnant and gave birth to Arou, my father saw that it was a girl again, and he was angry, and got up and took a basket from the outside, and wanted to put his sister in and bury it, Auntie lay on the bed and cried and begged my father to let the poor child go, and the relatives and friends at home also pleaded, and finally Auntie left with two children, and Arou also followed Auntie's surnameοΌβ
"What about the other child? that is, Arou's sister, where is she now?" Lan Jiuming asked.
"I got married a few years ago, and I married far away, and she didn't know about the changes in the family. β
"Brother Lan, my sister-in-law has suffered a lot, if the Yin Soldier can really cure her illness, I will admit it even if I am sucked out of my soul!" Hu Yongsheng's eyes were very firm when he said this.
Wei Xiaofeng was very moved, "She is really happy to have your brother!"
"I didn't do her much, I could only try to make up for my father's mistakes, and I came out secretly tonight, and my father will definitely clean me up if he finds out. β
Lan Jiuming didn't say anything on the side, because just a few minutes ago, he clearly sensed that a group of people were rushing here!
At this time, Wei Xiaofeng also felt it, Hu Yongsheng saw that Wei Xiaofeng's expression had changed, and he didn't know what was going on, and he was about to ask, when he suddenly felt that something was wrong: "Why is it so cold?"
"Brother Hu, come into the house, the Yin soldiers are coming!" Lan Jiuming stood up suddenly.
Hu Yongsheng hurriedly ran to the house according to Lan Jiuming's instructions and closed the doors and windows. "What does the Yin Soldier look like?", although he was afraid, he was still very curious, "Brother Lan, they are not related to each other, but they are willing to deal with the Yin Soldier for our sake, they are really chivalrous people!" Thinking of this, Hu Yongsheng's blood boiled, he picked up a kitchen knife in the kitchen, and lay in front of the crack in the door, thinking in his heart: "Look at their extraordinary bearing, not like ordinary people, if I rush out, it may drag them down, let's see first, if Brother Lan they can't do it, I will go out and fight to the death!"
