I decided to stay overnight to avoid the cold.
As for Xiao Feng, let him wait for me outside the house and wait for tomorrow to rush. I made up my mind to put things away and let the little green snake sneak into my pocket.
I said: "The temperature is too low. I only ate some raw rabbit meat. There is no way to go any further. You will rest here for one night. You will be on your way during the day tomorrow. Don't be slumbering anymore!"
Although Xiao Feng was a little unhappy, he finally agreed.
When I walked to the small wooden house, I smelled a faint smell of herbs from a distance. I thought it might be the wooden house built by the medicine farmer in the mountains, and it happened that he rushed into the mountain to collect medicine.
I stepped forward, knocked on the door, and shouted, "Is there anyone? I'm a night rusher. Can I take a place to avoid the cold, it's too cold outside tonight."
There was the sound of footsteps inside, and the door creaked open. I saw a person with pits and pits on his face. The hair on the top of his head was completely kicked off, and his right leg was still limping. He was already very old.
He is dressed in black, which is the favorite of the Miao people in this area. His face was covered with potholes, and he couldn't see the original look anymore. I just feel very familiar with it, as if I have seen it somewhere, but I can't remember it.
The old man was taken aback for a moment, with a smile on his face, and asked: "You walk the night alone, you are not very old, are you not afraid of beasts on the road?"
Although he looks strange, he still looks better compared to Xiao Feng. I am not too surprised. People who pick insects and grass in the mountains often encounter insect bites. He may have fallen into some poisonous insect den. , The poisonous insect bit him like this.
I nodded and said, "I went to my relative's house. When I was tired from walking at noon, I found a place to sleep. After I woke up, it was night. I found that it was too cold to leave. Fortunately, I met you. ."
The old man hesitated for a while, and then said, "Little brother, have we met somewhere? How do you think you are so familiar?"
I thought for a while and said, "Maybe I have seen it, but I can't remember. Have you been to Heihua Village?"
The old man shook his head gently: "I've heard of Heihua Village, but it's a pity that I didn't have a chance to go. Next time I have a chance, I will go personally..."
I thought to myself, since he had never been to Heihuazhai, I remembered it wrong, and I had never seen this person at all. The old man became enthusiastic and welcomed me into the wooden house.
There was a bonfire burning in the wooden house, and two pots of medicine were making medicine. After chatting with him, I realized that he was collecting medicine and making some ointment to sell in order to make a living. The old man took out some food to share with me.
I didn't think too much about it. After eating some food and roasting it for a while, my body became much warmer. The old man said: "I have to take care of the medicine jar at night. If you are tired, go to sleep in it. There is a bit of noise, so bear with it."
I thanked him again and again. When I went to bed in the back room and lay down, I always felt something was wrong. Where did this old man meet? I slept for more than ten minutes. I felt extremely tired. My head started to feel dizzy and fell asleep deeply.
When I was half-dreaming and half-awake, I felt the sound of footsteps coming gently, and I woke up suddenly, but I wanted to sit up without much effort. The footsteps were startled, and the oil lamp in his hand fell on the ground with a thump, and it went out all of a sudden.
I asked, "Who is it?" I fixed my eyes and found that it was the old man, and then asked, "Does your old man have to rest too."
The old man looked a little flustered and didn't answer my question. Instead, he asked me: "When you came in just now, I saw that your face was not very good. Maybe you have a cold. Do you have any strength now?"
I was shocked, I only felt that my body was limp, there was no strength at all, and even breathing was weak, and shook my head: "Is it really sick!" I regretted saying this, because I have realized it. Old man, he was acting with me from start to finish, he was lying to me.
Sure enough, the old man no longer looked flustered, but stepped forward and looked at me with a vicious look: "Luo Jiu... No, it's Xiao Kang, do you remember me?"
The distance between me and me is only twenty or thirty centimeters, and the scars on his face can be clearly seen. I took a closer look for a while, and then I realized that this kind of scar was caused by a scorpion bite.
I suddenly remembered that the man in front of me was Shen Yinshan. A few months ago, he was besieged by scorpions in Xiezidong. After begging for mercy, he left his wife and escaped with his stomach. When he ran away, his face was all over his face. They were all bitten by scorpions, and they almost looked human.
Unexpectedly, I ran into it here.
I suddenly woke up, I was shocked again in a cold sweat, and instinctively stepped back: "Shen Yinshan, it's you, what do you want?"
The old man grinned: "You still remember it, you didn't expect me to be like this now. That day the scorpions bit me and ate all the flesh on my face. I was able to survive. It is a blessing in misfortune. ."
I said: "You said that you will roll as far as you can when you see me in the future."
Shen Yinshan grabbed my neck and said, "Haha, do you believe that? After I was poisoned by scorpion, it was better to live than to die. I hid in a hut in the mountain, took medicine every day, and failed to clean up the scorpion poison. Emperor Chi You opened his eyes and sent you to me."
I coughed twice: "I will give you what you want, as long as you don't kill me."
I don't have any energy in my body now, and my voice is not big enough. It may have something to do with the food I ate just now.
Shen Yinshan smiled and said: "My thief woman is dead, what do I want Luo Doudou's scorpion for? I want to torture you slowly and turn your handsome little face into the same as mine."
Shen Yinshan's hair has fallen out, his face is pitted, he is neither human nor ghost, hiding in the wooden house to detoxify and heal his wounds, his heart is already extremely distorted. But he became like this, it has nothing to do with me.
Seeing that it was useless to beg for mercy, I cursed directly: "You are trying to steal Luo Doudou's spiritual position. You should be happy, at least you know that your wife Miao Xiuping doesn't love you at all."
When Shen Yinshan heard the name Miao Xiuping, he became more and more angry: "You dog, don't open the pot or pick which pot, I will kill you now. Let you go find that bitch woman to play!"
I thought to myself that it was going to be bad. Shen Yinshan was already crazy, saying the name Miao Xiuping invisibly stimulated him. Shen Yinshan screamed, the strength in his hand increased.
With a whistling sound, the little green snake hidden in my pocket ejected away, taking Shen Yinshan's eyeballs straight. Shen Yinshan was a snake catcher, and he knew nothing more about snakes. Seeing the green snake ejected, he rolled to the ground by himself.
He avoided the green snake's attack, and drew a thin rope in his hand. He used this rope to catch the dumb red bamboo snake. I hurriedly shouted: "Little Green Snake, you have to be careful."
The little green snake slid extremely fast, and Shen Yinshan flew out of the rope, failing. When it was said that it was too late, the little green snake arrived in front of Shen Yinshan, bounced up, landed exactly on Shen Yinshan's left knee, and then slid quickly.
Shen Yinshan had no choice but to roll on the ground, trying to get rid of the little green snake on his upper body. He rolled from the back room into the pharmacy, creaking and knocking two medicine jars to the ground.
Hot medicinal soup came out of the jar, and the hot coal fell on the ground. When the hot coal and the medicinal soup met, a cloud of mist appeared. Shen Yinshan was also exposed to boiling hot medicinal soup on his body, and a few hot coals ignited his clothes.
Shen Yinshan screamed several times, but fortunately there was a spare water source on the side. Shen Yinshan scooped the water with a scoop and showered it directly from his head, and the little green snake was also brought down by the water.
I reluctantly walked out from inside. Shen Yinshan was already embarrassed, his hands and hands were a little black, his eyes were flushed, and the whole person was extremely uncomfortable.
Shen Yinshan saw me standing against the wall and thumped on his knees: "I don't dare anymore, I don't dare anymore, please forgive me. I never dare anymore, what will you tell me in the future? Just do it."
I sighed: "Do you think I'm so easy to deal with? I'm telling you, Luo Doudou has passed on my many tricks, and this little green snake is the one who defended me. Now you can help me to handle it. Things, do you dare?"
