Chapter 54: The Night of Miao Village
Everyone was stunned, not knowing why Mo Yan suddenly made a move, and the bandit leader was even more frightened. Of course, these are just thoughts in everyone's hearts, and the speed of Mo Yan's flying knife does not allow them to make too many guesses.
Just when everyone thought that the bandit leader was going to die, Mo Yan missed, and the flying knife passed by the thief's ear and shot on the bamboo wall.
The thief turned pale with fright, and looked back at the flying knife that had lost its accuracy, and was half frightened to death againβ
A poisonous snake as thick as a child's arm, with a turquoise body, was nailed to the bamboo wall by the throwing knife, and it was still twisting its body, and its mouth kept making a "hissing" sound, and the letter it spit out was less than two inches from the thief's head.
The bamboo wall is green, the snake is also green, if it weren't for Mo Yan's super eyesight, it would be really difficult to be discovered, and if it was half a minute late, I am afraid that the thief would have already taken a bite on his head. He finally understood that Mo Yan was saving him, and turned his head to look at Mo Yan deeply, his eyes were very complicated, mixed with a trace of gratitude.
The woodcutter approached and looked at the snake carefully, and gave Mo Yan a thumbs up: "This son is really amazing, this kind of snake often hides in the bamboo forest, and the appearance of the bamboo is quite similar, called 'Qingzhu Biao', the movement is agile, the poison is incomparable, it bites, and the whole body turns purple and dies in less than half an hour." If you hadn't discovered it in time tonight and acted quickly, this brother would have died. β
"The climate of Guizhou is warm and humid, so there are many miasma insects and snakes, sometimes insects and snakes enter the house and hurt people, every year in May Dragon Boat Festival we have to sprinkle realgar wine around the house, snakes are most afraid of that thing. As he spoke, the woodcutter brought a jar of medicine and wine, and found tongs to clamp the snake's head, and pulled out the throwing knife nailed to the snake's body. "This poisonous snake is very good for brewing medicinal wine, and if someone is bitten by this snake again in the future, it will be smeared with this medicinal wine with great effect, which is called 'fighting poison with poison,'" said the woodcutter.
As soon as it reached the mouth of the altar, the snake had already smelled the smell inside, and struggled desperately, wrapping its body around the mouth of the altar and not letting go.
The woodcutter had no choice but to move the snake's tail back in circles. The snake is not small, at least two or three feet long. After the snake was turned away, the woodcutter grabbed the snake's tail with his left hand, and pressed the snake's head into the medicine and wine with his right hand. The head of the snake was dipped in wine, and it kept choking like a small sneeze sound. The snake kept writhing at first, and then stopped moving for a while. Then the woodcutter put the whole snake into the jar and plugged the mouth of the jar with a stopper.
"Good thing! I usually look for it and I can't find it. He said. Everyone thought it was strange, and it was an eye-opener.
"Eat! Eat! Everyone must be hungry!" His daughter-in-law saw that the poisonous snake had been dealt with, and hurriedly put the dishes, chopsticks and wine glasses, but she was not surprised.
The bowls and wine glasses are also made of bamboo. Ume took the small bamboo bowl and looked left and right, and couldn't put it down.
The woodcutter brought a jar of wine again. "This is a home-brewed bud valley wine, everyone try it. Poured a glass for everyone, Wumei didn't drink alcohol, filled with rice and gnawed on chicken fragrantly, maybe she was hungry, maybe it was the first time she tasted Gastrodia stewed chicken, she praised while nibbling "It's so fragrant!"
Xiao Tao Yao taught her to eat folded ear roots: clamp a folded ear root in her mouth, and quickly shave a mouthful of rice. Ume did it, the root of the folded ear was a little spicy when it was just in the mouth, and quickly shoeed the rice into it and chewed it together, and the spicy taste suddenly decreased a lot, and the rest was the slightly fishy fragrance of the folded ear root.
One bite of rice, two sticks, three sticks...... Before you know it, Ume has finished eating a bowl of rice. "This thing really cooks!" she couldn't help but say.
"It's an appetizer. The woodcutter replied.
Mo Yan picked up the wine glass and put it under his nose to sniff it carefully, then took a small sip, slowly savored it in his mouth for a while before swallowing.
When the woodcutter saw the way he drank, he knew that he was a connoisseur, so he asked, "What does the son think of my wine?"
Mo Yan smiled slightly.
"Childe, but it doesn't hurt to say. The woodcutter said.
"Then I'll be straight to the point, this wine has a strong flavor but not enough mellowness, and the taste is acceptable but the aftertaste is not long enough. Mo Yan took another sip before saying.
"Childe is really an expert. It's warm and humid all year round, and we need to drink some alcohol to ward off the external miasma, so both men and women here drink alcohol. And the wine is on the strong side. The woodcutter said.
"I see!" Mo Yan nodded.
After drinking three cups, Mo Yan stopped asking for it. The woodcutter enthusiastically advised him to drink more.
"I'm enough, everyone's free. Mo Yan said: "I have never paid much attention to drinking, but to taste." Wine is a good thing, and drinking a little bit in moderation can make men more arrogant and women more charming. But don't drink too much, if you get drunk, you won't have any beauty at all. β
"Childe is a literati, so he naturally pays attention to it, and we don't care so much about the mountains and fields, just have fun. The woodcutter laughed.
His daughter-in-law saw that Mo Yan no longer drank alcohol, and busily brought rice.
"Thank you, Mrs. Sister-in-law! I can't stand up to pick it up because my legs and feet are inconvenient, it's disrespectful!" Mo Yan said.
"Is Childe's leg disease a child or is it a ......," the woodcutter asked.
"No! It was plotted some time ago, soaked in the cold waste water of the dungeon for a day and a night, and it became like this. Mo Yan smiled bitterly.
"Did Childe find someone to heal?"
"We are going to Yunnan to find divine healing. Ume interjected.
"How do you know that there is such a miracle doctor in Yunnan?"
"It was a miracle doctor from Jiangnan who went to Yunnan, and we went here to find that miracle doctor. β
"Do you know where the miracle doctor went?"
"I don't know!" Dark Cloud shook his head.
"Finding someone in such a big Yunnan is like looking for a needle in a haystack, unstable. The woodcutter shook his head and said, "You should have found a doctor nearby to see if there was any way to make another plan." β
Wuyun is a daughter slave who listens to Ume for everything. And although Wumei is smart and assertive, after all, she is young, and Mo Yan is grateful to Wumei for saving her life, so naturally she has no objection to anything.
Now as soon as the woodcutter said it, everyone felt justified, so they all fell silent.
"There is a skilled wizard in our Miao Village, but he only serves the Miao family, not outsiders, and the people in the village don't even know if he is a man or a woman. β
"People like this who can't be seen are not able to ask him to be healed. Don't be afraid, let's go to Yunnan, maybe we'll be lucky enough to find that miracle doctor?" Mo Yan looked at Wumei and smiled: "Besides, even if you can't find it, even if the doctor is not good, it's quite comfortable to have someone to serve like this." β
He was comforting himself as well as Ume. Umei understood what he meant, blushed slightly, and hurriedly buried herself in eating.
People who are addicted to alcohol have this bad point, and they have to drink it when they drink. The woodcutter, the dark cloud, and the bandit leader drank this wine until the wine jar was empty, and the moon fell and the rooster crowed. The woodcutter was still clamoring for his daughter-in-law to get another drink. Mo Yan glanced at his daughter-in-law, and his daughter-in-law ignored him when she understood.
When the woodcutter saw that his daughter-in-law was not going to get the wine, he was furious and slapped him on the thigh: "You...... You...... Still...... It's terrible, even ...... Lian Lao ...... Lao Tzu's words dare not ...... Listen!" After speaking, he stood up crookedly, pulled the wooden board on the pot to put the vegetables, and was about to beat his daughter-in-law.
Mo Yan saw that he stretched out his hand to be a little more empty, and the woodcutter rolled his eyes and fell down softly.
"Xianggong, what's wrong with you?" Seeing this, his daughter-in-law hurriedly stretched out her hand to support her, "What happened to your father-in-law?"
"It's okay, I just lit his sleeping hole and let him sleep well, so that he doesn't make trouble again. Mo Yan said.
Many people are usually normal people, and when they get drunk, they are crazy. Hence the term drunken maniac.
The bamboo building is small and there are few rooms. Wumei went to squeeze with Xiao Taoyao's mother and daughter. The dark clouds had fallen to the ground and were snoring like thunder, and as for the bandit leader, he seemed to be asleep, Mo Yan thought for a while, and still volleyed his sleeping hole.
You can't have the intention of harming others, but you must not have the heart of guarding against others.
After Mo Yan finished all this, he leaned against the bamboo wall and closed his eyes to recuperate.
The fire in the stove is blazing brightly, and even if it is not covered with anything, it is not cold.
Dear friends, today's second update.
