I rolled a long way on the ground, but after escaping from the claws of the dead Zongzi, the chill on my body disappeared immediately, and my hands became more active. Seeing Ma Yunxi being caught, I was so scared that I quickly rang the bell and reached into my pocket to take out glutinous rice.
As soon as the bell rang, the dead Zongzi's claws trembled, as if he was quite afraid of the soul-catching bell, and he loosened Ma Yunxi's ankle, but I didn't expect that he would slap her chest again. Ma Yunxi was slapped and flew away on the spot, flew to the edge of the woods, hit a big tree and fell to the ground, his head tilted, and he lay there motionless.
I was immediately shocked. Would she be in danger? Fuck him, you dead zongzi. I grabbed a handful of sticky rice and threw it over. It landed on the claw that was half a foot above the ground. With a few "hiss" sounds, black smoke came out. The claw was instantly melted by more than half, and the fingers were gone. The dead thing quickly retracted the remaining palm into the ground in pain, and the temperature around it rose.
Gu Laozhong's family was huddled far away beside a large rock on the opposite side. They were all fine. I stood up and hurried to Ma Yunxi. I helped her sit up, but her eyes were closed, blood was oozing from the corners of her mouth, and her head was hanging limply on her shoulders, without any consciousness.
I was even more panicked now, so I reached out and put my hand under her nose, luckily she was breathing faintly.
I turned my head and looked down at Beisanpo Village, thinking that there must be a doctor in the village, but his medical skills might not be very good. What should I do? This place is more than a hundred miles away from the county town. If I run to the county town with her in my arms, she will probably die.
Just when I was getting anxious and at a loss of what to do, Gu Laozhong bravely came over, looked at the unconscious Ma Yunxi in my arms, and said to me: "I have some healing medicine handed down from my ancestors. It's very effective. Give it to the girl first." Then he took out a small black porcelain bottle from the package and handed it to me.
I took a look at this thing and thought that it was better to have no effect than to have no effect. I took it and uncorked it. Suddenly, a herbal aroma came out. Well, just based on this herbal smell, it should have some effect. I poured some grass-gray powder from the porcelain bottle and fed a small amount to Ma Yunxi according to the instructions of the old man.
Then he picked her up and told everyone to go into the woods first to avoid being attacked by the Blood Night Demon again. At first, when he held Ma Yunxi, he felt that her body temperature was a little low. After feeding her the medicine, her body temperature gradually rose. He thought that the medicine must be effective.
As we walked, Mr. Gu told me that almost every family living in the mountains knows some medical skills. Because this place is too remote, people have to rely on themselves to deal with minor illnesses and disasters. There is no doctor in the village, but there is a veterinarian who knows how to fix broken bones of livestock. Therefore, the ancestors of the mountain village have figured out the tricks of healing injuries and diseases, and they collect herbs and grind them into powder. A few years ago, he was digging ginseng in the mountains and accidentally fell off a cliff. He was in a coma for seven days and seven nights, and he survived by relying on his ancestral magic medicine.
After he said that, I felt more confident. I hope Ma Yunxi can survive with this magical medicine.
Alas, that dive she made just now was a standard eye-catching move. Am I worthy of her doing this? Thinking about this question, I don't know why, my heart was in a mess.
After walking out of the woods, I stopped thinking about random things and focused on being alert, always holding a little glutinous rice in my hand. But it seemed that the claws of the dead zongzi had been crippled, which made it a little scared. There were really no problems along the way, and we arrived at Longquan Cave before dawn.
