Chapter 14: Poisonous Worm Valley

Views:

As night is about to fall, the cliffs are filled with smoke, unfathomable, and strange sounds come from time to time. Going down from here, I am afraid that there will be no return.

The bald old man took out the rag from my mouth, pinched a handful of dark things from the bag, and poured it directly into my mouth. A choking herb smell came, and before I had time to chew, he poured me another mouthful of water.

I swallowed the medicated foam almost in one mouthful, and only felt that there was a smell, which was very similar to the one Luo Dajin had used before, like a butterfly bone.

This kind of herb grows very strangely. It grows from bones. In the mountains, the mist is very humid. After the animals decay, the bones are empty. There are seeds germinating and growing in the bones. The leaves are like butterflies, so there are butterflies. The name of bone.

Herbalists will break the bones and take its roots as medicine. The butterfly bone that grows in the empty bones of the dead is the top grade, combined with a number of medicinal materials, can be a life-saving medicine, can also become a life-saving medicine.

I have not tasted the other flavors, nor can I tell what is good or bad. However, not long after eating, I felt a knife in my stomach scratching, which was particularly uncomfortable, and a cold sweat broke out on my forehead.

I scolded, "Bald, what horrible herbs did you give me? Little grandpa, I almost died of pain, do you have any abilities?"

The bald old man's face suddenly changed: "Who do you call Bald? Grandpa, I'm a big Shen Yinshan. Herbs will suppress Gu worms. Naturally, there will be a reaction. Your little baby knows something."

I was rolling on the floor with pain and sweating again. In the end, I didn't even have the strength to speak, but I still stared at the bald man bitterly.

The old woman was looking for something on the edge of the cliff, and muttered: "Luo Youdao said that there is a secret road going down here, why didn't I see it?"

The bald Shen Yinshan said: "Old lady, it's not that Luo Youdao missed your beauty tricks and lied to you. There is no way down the cliff here. We have fallen a lot this time."

The old woman turned her head and glared at Shen Yinshan: "Impossible. Luo Youdao has been greedy for my beauty for many years. He was so drunk when he invited him to drink. He even said that he had peeped at the widow's bath when he was a child. "

Shen Yinshan seemed to be a little frightened, hehe smiled: "Of course I don't doubt your face, old lady, no one in this world can block your beautiful face."

I retched. The two old thieves talked about disgusting love, which was really disgusting. The old woman was wearing lipstick and rouge. It was nondescript. If this is also called the perfect beauty, Dong Shi is also a peerless beauty.

I would rather smash my head to death on a stone than listen to them saying such disgusting words: "Dirty ears, dirty ears, I beg you to stop talking like that, little grandpa, I'm going to die of disgust. Dong Shi is about to laugh."

The old woman was originally flattered by Shen Yinshan, she was very comfortable, she heard my yell, her expression changed suddenly: "Little bastard, let me clean your mouth. You will follow us in the future, don't cheat us, yes You are suffering. I think back then, Miao Xiuping was also a flower in the Gu sect."

I said: "Diamond flower."

Miao Xiuping's expression became more and more ugly, she wanted to go forward and beat people, and she was held back by Shen Yinshan: "Alright, old lady, don't care about the little baby, let's find our way down the mountain."

The two of them searched for more than ten minutes on the edge of the cliff, and finally found a little eyebrow. Under a large stone, there is a suspended ladder embedded vertically in the stone. The sides of the suspended ladder are covered with weeds, covered with rattan plants of various colors, and covered by large stones.

If you don't get the news in advance, it's hard to find out.

Shen Yinshan stepped back in front of me: "Little Wawa, this hanging ladder is very steep. I will tie you to your body for a while. You have to be obedient, or we will all fall to the bottom and fall into a mess."

After the pain in my stomach is generally painful, there is no strength to make it worse, so I have to let him deal with it: "I will naturally follow you, how can it make it worse?"

Riding on the last ray of light in the evening, Shen Yinshan first tied a rope to the big rock, and then picked me up on his back. Miao Xiuping helped to tie me tightly with the rope. Then the two changed into deerskin gloves.

Shen Yinshan and Miao Xiuping often gather herbs on the mountain. They drew on the ropes and drew over the boulders, and finally grabbed the suspended ladder on the cliff. The surface of the suspended ladder is covered with a layer of moss.

This hanging ladder has thick steel bars embedded in the stone, and the stone surface has been chipped away, leading to the cloud-shrouded valley floor.

I lay on Shen Yinshan's back, turned my head and glanced at the bottom of the cliff, my heartbeat speeded up unconsciously, even breathing became difficult, and the mountain wind roared.

However, Shen Yinshan and Miao Xiuping cooperated in a tacit understanding, and they carried a lot of strange gadgets. Although they discovered the danger several times, they were all resolved in time.

Shen Yinshan said: "This hanging ladder is the last way for the people of Heihuazhai to escape from the chaos of war. It was the core secret of their stockade. I didn't expect Luo Youdao to be greedy for beauty, so he said it."

Miao Xiuping replied: "Since Luo Doudou, the generation of Heihua Village is not as good as the first generation. Otherwise, I would not dare to come to Heihua Village to steal things."

I listened to the conversation between the two and couldn't speak, but I became more interested in that Luo Doudou, what kind of person he was, and why after his death, there were so many people praising his reputation.

It took an hour to get from the cliff to the bottom of the valley. When it came down, the sky was completely dark. Shen Yinshan untied me and took out a fire folder and a flashlight.

I landed on the ground and found a thick layer of withered leaves on the ground, and I could hear the sound of branches breaking after two steps.

With the faint light of the flashlight, I found that the bottom of the valley was overgrown with various plants, and a few big trees rose up into the sky, and the sound of water could be heard not far away.

Looking down from the top of the mountain, the mist was shrouded in time. After coming down, the fog was not as strong as imagined. Shen Yinshan and Miao Xiuping leaned on a rock to rest, then took out another kind of ointment and applied them to the exposed area.

The smell of the ointment is very choking.

Shen Yinshan threw the ointment to me: "If you don't die in pain, just apply it yourself. Poisonous Insect Valley has many poisonous insects, and one bite is enough for you. This ointment can repel insects."

I thought to myself, since it is called Poison Worm Valley, there must be a lot of poisonous insects, so I picked up the ointment and barely applied some. The pain in my abdomen is said to have eased, and it has not eased, it always hits one after another, but fortunately, it did not cause vomiting of blood.

After the three people applied the ointment, Shen Yinshan rubbed and opened the fire, and some flames emerged. According to the direction of the flames, he finally chose to walk east of the Poisonous Insect Valley.

I couldn’t figure out what they were going to do, so I gritted my teeth and followed them all the way. I met some big trees and dripped water. After walking for less than half an hour, my whole body was soaked.

Miao Xiuping suddenly said: "Old man, something is wrong, along the way, we didn't even see a centipede, and there was no poisonous snake hanging on the tree. There are no poisonous insects in the Poisonous Worm Valley, isn't this a joke?" she said. The voice trembled a little.

When she said this, I also realized that the valley was supposed to be full of bugs, but when I walked down the road, I only saw plants, but not a crawling poisonous insect.

Off the beaten track here is a paradise where bugs can multiply. The valley named after Poisonous Worm Valley has no bugs. If something goes wrong, there must be a demon. It seems that Poison Worm Valley is weird.

Shen Yinshan's expression was very solemn: "Yes, I also find it strange that there is not even a moth along the way. Is it possible that all the worms in the Poisonous Worm Valley have died?"

I couldn't help shivering: "Don't tell me whether you will succeed or not. My back bones are starting to get cold, and I always feel the wind and wind."

Shen Yinshan retreated from the front and stood beside Miao Xiuping. The two of them looked around nervously, their nerves tense. But the woods were all black and there was nothing strange at all.

At this moment, the sky is completely dark, and there is no reason for it at all.

Shen Yinshan immediately decided: "Don't go forward, get some firewood to make a fire, and we will start again when it dawns tomorrow."

Shen Yinshan chose a big rock and picked up some firewood nearby. It took a lot of effort to light the bonfire. With the light, there are a lot of talents at ease.

Bugs are afraid of bonfires, and ghosts are reluctant to get close to the fire.

The two of them brought dry food, and Shen Yinshan pinched a piece for me. It was a kind of rice ball wrapped in rice, which was cold and tasteless. But I still chew with gusto. Once people are hungry, everything is delicious.

Shen Yinshan put some insect-repellent herbs nearby, enlarged the bonfire, and took off his coat: "Old lady, you can sleep with me. I'll watch the night. We will start again when it dawns tomorrow."

Miao Xiuping got older and climbed down the cliff again. She was indeed tired. After a second mutter, she fell asleep.

Shen Yinshan looked at me and smiled: "Little baby, I don't want to stare at you all night. If you want to run, just run. Anyway, this is Poisonous Worm Valley."

I thought to myself, standing on the top of the mountain, the valley is surrounded by clouds and mist. I don't know how big the area is, and it's easy to get lost. It will be midnight again, so I won't be so stupid as to run away alone, after all, at this time, it is safer for three people to be together than one.

I said: "I want to escape, but I also know that the probability of surviving alone in the valley is much lower than that of three people together."

Shen Yinshan nodded: "What a clever boy, it's no wonder Luo Dajin is so optimistic about you. You get some branches and spread them on the ground. Let's sleep first."

After I was on the fire, the gu worms in my stomach were not so strong anymore. I laid out the branches and curled up to sleep.

He was beaten dozens of times by Luo Dajin during the day, and he didn't feel any pain when he walked. When he lay down, the wound touched the uneven branches, only the bones and hair hurt, and some places were still hot.

I adjusted my sleeping posture many times, and in the end I could only lie on my stomach on a branch, the pain was better, tiredness hit, and slowly I fell asleep.

"Wake up! Wake up!" In a daze, I heard a faint sound in my ears.

I thought it was dawn, and Shen Yinshan wanted to call me to get up, opened his eyes sleepily, and found that it was still dark all around. Shen Yinshan and Miao Xiuping were close together, and there was a slight snoring sound.

I woke up all at once.

"Look here." The voice came from my side.

I hurriedly turned my head and looked over, only to see a paper man in a green dress and red dress with a light red dot on his face, looking at me with his head tilted.
