Shen Muxi rushed back overnight. The county magistrate was worried that it would be unsafe for her to walk alone at night. If something happened and he couldn't explain to King Li, he sent Liu Butou to take her back to the village.
After leaving the county mansion, Shen Muxi always felt the chill behind him, and looked back from time to time.
Liu Butou held the lantern, full of doubts, "Doctor Shen, what's wrong with you?"
He stopped and looked back, but there was nothing behind him except the dark woods.
Shen Muxi frowned, "Liu Butou, didn't you hear any strange sounds?"
"There are no big beasts in this area of the woods, it's very safe. Did you hear the night birds?" Liu Butou smiled.
It is not surprising that there are often nocturnal birds in the mountains.
Shen Muxi felt that the sound didn't sound like a night bird, it was a very strange rustling sound, intermittent, could it be a beast in the mountains? But will the beast follow for so long
"Let's go!" Shen Muxi supported the belt on his shoulder, and quickened his pace.
As a doctor, it is common for him to go to the doctor in the middle of the night. Shen Muxi has walked this road more than a few times, and he can walk back to the village with his eyes closed. But today, for some unknown reason, it seems to be walking very slowly.
When passing through the mass grave, the night birds were aroused to fly away, even Liu Butou was startled, "Doctor Shen, are you not scared?"
"Compared to the dead, I'm more afraid of the living!" Shen Muxi wiped off the sweat from his forehead, and suddenly straightened his body, "Listen!"
Catcher Liu silenced his voice, this time he heard it too, it was a strange "rustling" sound, the sound was fleeting, and he couldn't tell where it came from.
Shen Muxi squeezed the lantern in his hand, and suddenly frowned slightly, "I seem to have stepped on something?"
Hearing this, Catcher Liu hurriedly bent down and illuminated it with a lamp. On the thick pile of fallen leaves, there was a long and bright white thing. It was so dark that he couldn't see what it was.
"What is this?" Liu Butou immediately picked it up with his scabbard.
When the two of them understood it, they both gasped.
"It's a snake slough!" Shen Muxi quickly looked around, "This snake slough is as wide as three fingers, which means that this snake is very big and is still growing. The appearance of a snake slough at this position means that this snake is moving nearby scope, we have to be careful."
"I've never seen such a big one!" Liu catches a chill on his back, and simply draws the knife in his hand.
Shen Muxi spread the snake's slough with a branch, "The tail is suddenly small and slender, and the position of the head... eh?"
"What's wrong?" Catcher Liu was puzzled.
Shen Muxi hastily tugged Liu Bu's head, "Stay away, this snake's slough is abnormal!"
"Why?" Liu Butou was puzzled.
Even if it is a poisonous snake, the shed skin of the snake will not be poisonous after being exposed to wind, sun and rain. What's more, the snake's venom is in the teeth, not in the skin!
"The snake head has a crown?" She thought of the snake she saw in the county government, "Liu Butou, does it look like the snake you caught?" Shen Muxi said, Liu Butou also felt the smell , "It's really similar!"
"What you caught is a small snake!" Shen Muxi breathed slightly, "The big one may be nearby. This snake can grow so big, it must be an unusual poisonous snake!" Recalling the rustling sound just now, Liu The head catcher suddenly had goosebumps all over his body, "This damn thing! Dr. Shen, follow me closely!"
Shen Muxi nodded, and followed closely behind Liu Butou. She felt that the rustling sound was still nearby, but for some reason, it never got closer. It kept sounding intermittently at a distance. This feeling is like a cat playing before eating a mouse, which makes people's hearts flutter.
This place is not too far from the village. Appearing here means that it may enter the village and hurt people at any time, so this thing cannot be kept. The two hurried and hurried, and finally entered the village.
The village is very quiet. At this hour, the villagers should all be asleep.
"The medical hall is just ahead, I can..."
Before she could finish speaking, Catcher Liu rushed forward.
Shen Muxi was stunned, but saw the flames in front of him, that direction - the medical hall!
"Master!" Shen Muxi turned pale with shock, "Zhier!"
It was just a short effort to run from the entrance of the village to the medical clinic, the original black smoke has turned into a raging fire, and the fire surrounded the entire Mu's medical clinic.
"Master? Zhi'er!" Shen Muxi shouted hysterically, throwing away the medicine box and rushing in.
"You wait outside!" Liu Butou pushed her away and quickly rushed into the flames.
The people in the village were awakened by the shouting, and one by one put on their clothes and went out. When they first saw the hospital on fire, they immediately ran to put out the fire. Everyone received water and splashed water, but the fire could not be put out.
Shen Muxi trembled all over, his eyes were red, his mind was full of the fire from back then, and it was raging like this.
"Quick, help me!" Liu Butou pulled out his hoarse voice, and carried Mu Zhongzhou out of the fire scene with his face covered in ashes.
Chunxiu rushed over panting, helped Liu catch the head, and laid Mu Zhongzhou beside the haystack.
"Master!" Shen Muxi's voice was already trembling, "Master, where's Zhi'er? Where's Zhi'er!"
"The ground, the cellar..." Mu Zhongzhou opened his mouth, and the black blood quickly crawled out of his lips.
"Doctor Shen, hurry up and save people, I'll go find Zhi'er!" Chunxiu grabbed the bucket from the villager, splashed it over his head, and rushed into the fire.
Shen Muxi quickly caught Mu Zhongzhou's wrist, but Mu Zhongzhou held his hand.
"Here..." Mu Zhongzhou shoved something into her hand tremblingly, opened his mouth with difficulty, blood stained his clothes, "Live, live!"
"Master!" Shen Muxi was in hysteria, and she burst into tears instantly, clutching the things the master gave her tightly in her palm.
Why is this happening? What the hell happened
