Why did my cousin wake up
Ji Jin was shocked, turned her head subconsciously, and shouted into the room: "It's put away, I'll bring it in right away."
Cousin and grandma often think that what comes out is what comes out. After getting along for a long time, Ji Jin has long practiced the ability to quickly answer any topic without asking about the cause or consequence.
But the old man in the room is now more awake than before, she asked in confusion: "Xiao Jin is back?"
Ji Jin was stunned for a moment, and at that moment, the old man in the house came out.
Ji Jin quickly went up to meet Fang Que, who was covered in blood, with her body, so as not to scare the old man, she asked, "Why did you come out? Didn't you say that you are not allowed to leave the house after dark?"
The old man said aggrievedly: "Xiaoqiu went to collect the clothes, did you see her?"
"I see." Ji Jin casually said: "She took the clothes in, you go in and take a look, she is in the room."
"It's in the house." The old man believed it, moved slowly, and wanted to go back to the room.
But after walking two steps, she stopped again, turned her head, glanced at Ji Jin, then moved away to look behind her.
Ji Jin didn't guard against the sudden cleverness of the old man, so he didn't stop him, and let the old man see Fang Que lying on the ground, and the little boy who was feeling Fang Que's pulse.
"Grandma..." Ji Jin called out.
The old man bypassed her and walked over by himself. She squatted down with great effort and looked at her beside Fang Que.
Xiao Li was untying Fang Que's skirt at this time, the red scorpion crawled into Fang Que's mouth, although the red spots on Fang Que's face had diminished, but now she was hot all over, as if she was about to be cooked,
If you don't cool her down, she will be burned alive by her own internal fire.
Xiao Li was in a hurry, but the old man next to him suddenly held down his hand, the palm covered with grooves was a bit rough, she said to the little boy seriously: "Boys can't untie girls' clothes."
Xiao Li frowned, turned to look at Ji Jin, and signaled her to take the old man away and not to make trouble.
Ji Jin stepped forward to help the old man, but after removing Xiao Li's hand, the old man stretched out his hand and tapped Fang Que a few times.
These few strokes seemed to be calling, almost immediately, a red scorpion came out of Fang Que's nose. The scorpion was smaller than when it got in before, but it was also red.
At this point, after the scorpion ran out, it obediently burrowed back into the black cocoon on the ground, then spit out black and red silk, sewed up the broken cocoon, and trapped itself inside.
After a while, the dilapidated cocoon shell turned into a black "stone" again.
The old man naturally picked up the "stone" and got up, stooping and walking step by step into the house.
As for Fang Que, after the scorpion left her body, the heat on her body gradually dissipated. After a while, her body temperature became normal and her breathing became smoother.
Xiao Li stared at all this dumbfounded. After a moment of daze, Ji Jin hurriedly followed the old man back to the room.
Put it in the cabinet, and when the old man returned to bed safely to lie down, Ji Jin opened the cabinet, rummaged for a while, and found a box of black stones in a wooden box in the corner.
Ji Jin took out the box, looked at the old man in bed, and then at the box, unable to calm down for a long time.
When Ji Jin walked out of the room, Xiao Li had already helped Fang Que, who was seriously injured, into the inner room. When he saw Ji Jin coming out, he directly asked, "What's going on? Your surname is Ji, right? I recognize it."
you. "
Ji Jin put the wooden box on the table, looked at Xiao Li, and frowned: "You are cousin Liu Wei's son, didn't you get on that boat?"
"What ship?"
"The boat from three years ago."
three years ago? Seaspoon
Xiao Li reacted for a while before he realized that this was another person who misunderstood that they were buried in the sea. He shook his head and said, "I am on the boat, but the people on the boat are not dead. I am not dead. I am not dead."
Mother, Uncle Rong, and my sister are all alive. "
Ji Jin was surprised, her eyes widened and she asked, "You mean, they are still alive?"
Xiao Li nodded, and asked again: "Who is that old man in the room?"
Ji Jin was silent for a moment, staring into Xiao Li's eyes and said, "According to her seniority, you should call her great-grandmother."
Although Xiao Li had guessed a little bit, but when he heard the answer suddenly, he couldn't help but lost his mind.
This is grandma, this is really grandma.
When he took away the cocoon shell containing the red scorpion from the old man, he had guessed something. Grandpa mentioned more than once that grandma was from the Miao nationality.
The way the Miao people place them into Gu is to wrap them in cocoon shells and take them out when they are ready to use.
Different voodoo have different effects. In the Miao people's own tribe, voodoo is usually used to detoxify and cure diseases, while in the shaman tribe, a branch of the Miao nationality, voodoo is mostly used to harm people and kill people.
Xiao Li and his mother had contacted people of the Wu tribe before, and he also knew the methods of the Wu tribe, but he had only heard about the Miao people, and had never seen them.
Trying to calm down his mood, Xiao Li pointed to the head in the corner and asked: "Did you kill that?"
Ji Jin took a look, and found that the burden of putting the head had been opened, so she didn't hide anything, and said directly: "Yes."
Xiao Li straightened his face: "Why did you kill someone?"
"He is a wanted criminal." Ji Jin knew that this child grew up with his mother since childhood. Cousin Liu Wei was a little too harsh on people's lives, and she was easy to get on the line. Her son really did too.
have the same glitch. Ji Jin said: "Tongzhou, Yangzhou, Dingzhou, and the three prefectures jointly issued a reward for arrest. The head of this person is 900 taels, and 2,000 taels were captured alive."
"Bounty Hunter?"
Ji Jin had never heard of this term before, so she only said: "It is to hunt down and kill the list of wanted fugitives issued by various state capitals. Criminals of different levels have different prices, and some are not death row criminals.
, they cannot be killed, some can be killed, and when they are short of money, their heads can be exchanged with the Yamen for money. "
Xiao Li understands that Songzhou once issued such a bounty arrest warrant, cross-border felons and fugitives who cannot be caught by the local yamen will use this method to seek help from people in the rivers and lakes
, if someone uncovers the bill and brings back the prisoner's head, he will be rewarded accordingly.
Since this head was a felony criminal who was wanted by the Yamen and allowed to be killed, Xiao Li stopped worrying about this issue, and asked again: "What's wrong with Fang Que?"
Speaking of this, Ji Jin felt a little tired. She sat down and told Xiao Li about the ins and outs of tonight, and then asked, "Is your mother also in Anzhou? I want to see her."
"She's not here." Xiao Li said, and then asked Ji Jin: "So you didn't kill the poisoned person and let him run away?"
"His name is Young Master Jiu." Ji Jin was obviously very angry, and she and Fang Que almost joined in tonight: "He and Cheng Dong are in the same group. For some reason, there is internal strife. Yuran and Ji Cha are chasing after each other.
Let him go, his head is worth more than Cheng Dong, he is a habitual offender, with countless lives in his hands, Yuran and Ji Cha chased him to Lingzhou a few days ago, but he didn't know why, suddenly
Although they appeared in Anzhou, now I am more worried about the safety of Yuran and Ji Cha, I don't know what is going on with them. "
Xiao Li pursed her lips, and after a while, asked again: "Then why are you taking my grandma with you when you do such a dangerous thing?"
Ji Jin laughed when he asked this question: "Otherwise, the old man can't live without anyone, and he can't do without anyone to take care of him. She has disappeared before. If she is left in a place where she can't be seen, she will be out of sight."
What should I do? "
Xiao Li frowned and said: "I'll take her away, she will be safe with us."
Ji Jin was taken aback, but did not respond: "What?"
Xiao Li repeated: "I said, I will take my grandma away tonight."
