Sheng Luniu and the red-haired and purple-eyed strange man in the middle of the road looked at each other, and after looking at each other, they were both shocked by each other's ugly appearance.

"Hey, are you a human or a ghost, why are you blocking our way?" asked Sheng Luniu, holding the reins of the three horses, to the strange man.

"You're so ugly yourself, and you're embarrassed to ask me if I'm a human or a ghost?" replied the strange man in a rough man's voice.

"It turns out that there are uglier people in this world than me, which is really eye-opening for me. Sheng Luniu looked at the red-haired and purple-eyed man and said.

"What are you yelling here, scaring my cockscomb away from the serpent. I've been waiting here for three days, and I'm finally waiting for it to appear, and then I don't know when I'll be able to meet it. The man yelled.

"This big brother, I'm sorry! My senior sister was bitten by a poisonous snake, and we can't help but call for help, please forgive me, please forgive me!" Youming said to the man.

The strange man stepped forward, and You Ming saw that his face was still covered with serpentine scale-like raised poisonous sores, half like a human and nine like a ghost. Frightened, Youming's scalp was numb, and he hurriedly took two big steps back with Yi Dan on his back.

"May I ask where the bite hit?" the strange man seemed to know Youming's fear of him, so he took the initiative to take a step back and asked.

"It's a calf, my sister was bitten by a poisonous snake on her calf, and she's dying. May I ask my eldest brother if he knows where the doctor is, I will take her to see the doctor. Youming looked back at Yi Dan, who was drowsy in the north, and said.

"There are barren mountains and mountains within a radius of ten miles here, where is the doctor? Let me see her wounds," said the strange man.

Youming hesitated, but Yi Dan's life was on the verge of death, and there was no other way. I had to believe the extremely ugly man in front of me. He put Yi Dan down and sat on a stone by the side of the road. Yi Dan was sweating profusely in pain, his body was exhausted, and he no longer had the strength to speak.

The strange man lifted the trousers of Yi Dan's calf, looked at the wound and said, "It's a five-step snake."

When Youming heard this, he was immediately paralyzed. The name of the five-step snake, he has also heard of it for a long time, and it is said that he was bitten. You can die within five steps, but you've never seen it.

"How long has it been since you been bitten?" the strange man asked unhurriedly.

"Just now, I was bitten in that dead wood. The snake grown's body had to be like a leaf, Miss Yi, she accidentally stepped on it" After that, Sheng Luniu turned his head and asked Youming, "Has she taken more than five steps?"

"I don't know, what should I do now?" Youming was anxious.

"Bitten by a five-step snake. It's not a five-step death. But within five steps, people will faint, and if they are not rescued in time, it will be difficult to wake up. But fortunately, this girl has deep internal strength, and she has not fainted yet. If it were anyone else, I'm afraid it would have died a long time ago. The strange man said.

"So, what should we do, please ask this big brother to rescue my senior sister," Youming pleaded.

"You hold her steady, don't let her move. I'll suck the poisonous blood out of her leg first," said the strange man.

At this time, the weakened Yi Dan. Holding back the severe pain, he said, "No, then you will also be in danger." ”

"No, it won't. It's not as good as it can hurt me," the strange man said.

"But..."

Without waiting for Yi Dan to finish speaking, the man lowered his head and sucked Yi Dan's wound, sucked out the black poisonous blood clot on her calf, and spit it it out.

Until he sucked out the smooth red blood, the strange man asked, "Girl, are you better?"

At this time, Yi Dan felt that his leg didn't hurt so much, and his heart didn't panic so much, so he took a big breath and said, "Well, it's much better, thank you big brother for saving your life, this big brother, are you okay?"

"I'm fine, don't worry, this bit of poison is no problem for me at all. The strange man wiped the blood from his mouth and said.

The man flew up the cliff again, picked a few weeds and returned to the ground, handed them to Youming and said, "Put it in your mouth and chew it."

Youming didn't think about it, listened to his words, put the weed in his mouth and began to chew. After a while, the strange man put his hand to Youming's mouth and said, "It's almost, spit it out"

Youming was slightly embarrassed and didn't do it.

"It's okay, you can vomit," the weirdo said, staring into Youming's eyes.

You Ming had no choice but to gently spit the chewed weed in his mouth into the man's hand.

After the man looked at it, he put the grass powder on Yi Dan's wound and said, "This is an herb for snake venom."

"Thank you, big brother," Yi Dan said quickly.

The strange man tore off a rag from his dress, wrapped the wound, and said, "Don't leave anywhere today, drink plenty of water, lie down and rest, or you will be afraid of leaving trouble."

"Ah, this is a barren mountain and a wild mountain, if we don't leave, do we want to spend the night here?" asked Youming.

"Well, not far ahead is where I live, if you don't dislike it, go to my house to recuperate. The strange man said.

"This eldest brother, may I ask if my senior sister's injuries are serious?" asked Youming.

"What are you asking? I think it's your first time in Wuyi Mountain, right?" the strange man asked rhetorically.

"yes, how do you know we're here for the first time?" asked Youming.

"You don't even know the five-step snake, isn't it the first time you've come here? If someone bitten by the five-step snake doesn't give up his life to save him, he will definitely die. Whether it is a hunter or a farmer, the people in this mountain walk carefully, and they have to hide far away when they see it. The strange man said.

"What should I do then? May I ask this eldest brother, is my senior sister still in danger?" asked Youming.

"Don't worry, most of her poisonous blood has been sucked out by me. Just need to rest for a few days and you'll be fine. But we can't take it lightly, after all, there is still this residual poison, and although it is not fatal, it is afraid of leaving trouble," said the stranger.

"This big brother, thank you so much! I can't repay you for saving my life, but I don't know if you have taken poisonous blood, is there anything wrong?"

"You're lucky to have met me today. If ordinary people suck this poisonous blood, they will definitely be poisoned. But I'm invincible, and even if I have ten more five-step snakes, I won't be able to help me," said the strange man.

"Really? It's wonderful. Senior sister, you just said that good people have good rewards. I didn't expect it to come true so quickly," Youming said.

"This eldest brother can't repay him for saving his life, and I haven't asked you for your name?" Yi Dan asked.

"I... I... Call me a vendetta."

"Okay, thank you, Brother Zhiqiu, for saving your life," Yi Dan said.

Sheng Lu Niu looked around. asked, "Brother Zhiqiu, I have something I don't understand. The snakes in the mountains should have hibernated this season, so why are there still poisonous snakes here?"

"You don't know that the snakes in many places in this Wuyi Mountain do not hibernate. Zhi Qiu said.

"Why? Isn't the weather in this mountain quite cold? Isn't the snake in Wuyi Mountain not afraid of freezing?" Sheng Luniu asked.

"This is because the geothermal heat under the soil in this area is so heavy that you can dig less than a foot into the ground. You can clearly feel that the soil is warmer than in spring, so there is no way for snakes here to hibernate in their burrows. You can only hide in the fallen leaves on the ground. You can see that the mountains are full of steaming hot springs. Zhi Qiu said.

"I see. No wonder there are poisonous snakes in such a cold season. Sheng Luniu said.

"If you are walking in Wuyi Mountain, you must be very careful in any season. Zhi Qiu said.

"Okay, thank you Brother Zhiqiu for reminding me," Sheng Luniu said.

"The girl's injuries are fine, though. But there is still a need for rest. Why don't you go to where I live first? How about I ask my mother to make some porridge for you to drink?" Zhi Qiu said.

"Okay, then thank you, Brother Zhiqiu. Yi Dan stood up and said.

So under the leadership of this ugly man who called himself "Zhi Qiu", Youming and Sheng Luniu helped Yi Dan to a farmhouse yard not far away.

At this moment, a woman in her forties, still dignified and beautiful, came out of the house. She was drying dried vegetables in the yard with a flat basket.

"Mother, I'm back," Zhi Qiu shouted at the door.

"You're back, who are these people?" the woman asked, stopping what she was doing, looking at the three of them.

"This girl was just bitten by a five-step snake, and I helped her suck out the poison. Bring her to me and rest first," said Na Chiqiu.

"Okay, you can invite the guests to the house to rest first. I'm going to make you some tea. The woman said.

"Thank you, auntie," Yi Dan said politely.

"You're welcome, girl, please go back to the house and have a good rest," said the woman, softly, very politely.

Several people entered the house and placed Yi Dan on a wooden bed. Youming covered Yi Dan with a quilt and said, "Senior sister, you should rest first." ”

"A few people, let's drink some tea first, this is a unique rock tea in Wuyi Mountain, which can detoxify the eyes and detoxify the body, and it is also good for the injuries on the body. Chi Qiu's mother brought a pot of tea and said politely.

"Thank you, auntie" Youming took the teapot and put it on the table.

"Is the girl's wounds healing?" the woman asked.

"Well, I'm much better, thank you for your concern! Yi Dan lay on the bed and said with a smile.

"You're welcome, there are poisonous snakes in this mountain every step of the way, you must be careful when walking. The woman said.

The woman took out a beautiful padded jacket and said to Yi Dan, "Girl, your clothes are dirty, I will wash them for you when you change them." This is the clothes I brought back from Changle City last year, and I haven't worn them yet. If you don't dislike it, you can change it first, and you will be fine. Then the woman handed her garment.

"Thank you, Auntie, you are so thoughtful, please forgive me for being physically inconvenient and unable to get up and salute you to thank you!" Yi Dan lay on the bed, took the clothes and said.

"You're welcome, girl, you have a good rest first, you can tell me if you have any needs at any time, I'll go out first and don't bother you." With that, the woman turned and left the room.

"Girl, you have a good rest first, drink more water, and you'll be fine tomorrow," Zhi Qiu said.

"Okay, thank you Brother Zhiqiu for saving your life. In the future, I will make up my mind to repay it," Yi Dan said.

Na Zhiqiu smiled and said, "You don't have to be polite, since you met me today, it can be regarded as fate." If it had been before, I would never have—" The feud seemed to remember something, and he stopped talking.

"Thank you, Brother Zhiqiu, and please Brother Zhiqiu, you should also pay attention to your body, if you have any discomfort, hurry up and see the doctor. Yi Dan said.

"Don't worry, I'm fine. These five snakes have bitten me hundreds of times. Zhi Qiu said indifferently.

"How many hundred times?Brother Zhiqiu, are you the snake catcher of this Wuyi Mountain?" asked Youming.

"Sort of, I've caught them all, and now the ordinary poisonous snakes in this mountain don't work for me anymore. You all have a good rest first, don't run around, don't go to other rooms, I'll ask my mother to get you something to eat in a while. Zhi Qiu said.

"Okay, thank you, big brother. Yi Dan said.

The feud left the room. Youming lifted the teapot on the table, poured two cups of tea, and after smelling it, he said: "Well, this tea is so fragrant, Sheng Daxia, you can have a cup too" After that, he handed a cup to Sheng Luniu.

You Ming brought the tea to the bed, gently fed it to the senior sister, Yi Dan drank the tea slowly, stared at You Ming's eyes, and then turned his head to look at Sheng Lu Niu, and said: "Senior brother, I heard Sheng Daxia sigh before, no matter how high the martial arts are, it can't beat an iron box. Now I also deeply realize that no matter how high the martial arts are, they can't compete with a small poisonous snake. If I hadn't met Brother Zhiqiu today, I'm afraid I would have died in Wuyi Mountain. Hey, I can't imagine it."

"Yes, senior sister, we also have to thank this big brother for revenge, he is really a good person. It's just a little scary, though. Youming said.

"You can't just look at your appearance, just like Sheng Daxia, he fought against the evil force, and he became like this for the sake of martial arts justice. We don't know the story behind it, so we can't make comments," Yi Dan said.

"Senior sister is right, I understand. ”

"No man can be a face, and the sea cannot be measured. Brother Zhiqiu has this ability to be invincible, and his appearance must be the price he pays," Yi Dan said.

"Well, senior sister, your inference seems to have some truth. Let's find an opportunity to ask the hateful brother if this is the reason. Youming said.

"Don't open your mouth to ask, if people want to say, they will naturally tell us," Yi Dan said.

"Well, okay, I'll listen to you, you have a good rest, don't talk anymore. Youming said.

"Sheng Daxia, what I said just now was not intentional, please don't take it to heart. Youming turned his head to Sheng Luniu and said apologetically.

"It's okay, I'm also curious, why did that enemy brother look like that? When I first saw him, I thought I had met a ghost" Saying that, Sheng Luniu looked around to make sure that there was no one else, so he lowered his voice and quipped: "But to be honest, suddenly seeing someone uglier than me, my heart seems to be a lot balanced." ”

"Shandaxia is really funny. Yi Dan smiled slightly, lying on the bed and gradually falling asleep.

Youming and Sheng Lu Niu sat around the table and drank this pot of fragrant Wuyi rock tea. (To be continued.) )
