The years of reselling the haunted house

When the bearded man waved his hand, Liang Yue and I were let go.

I walked quickly to the bearded man, Zhong Xiaofeng asked: "Brother Yang, can you stop the bleeding?"

Chapter 1464

I quickly dug out the herb from my bag, and said to Zhong Xiaofeng, "This herb has miraculous effects in treating trauma. Since you have already started betting, let's take another bet."

Zhong Xiaofeng took the herb under his nose and smelled it, nodded, and shouted to Yunmei: "Time is too tight, hurry up, find someone to smash these herbs, forget it, just chew it with your mouth... ..."

As he spoke, Zhong Xiaofeng pulled a handful of herb leaves and stuffed them into his mouth and began to chew.

Soon, green juice flowed down the corner of his mouth.It made me sick to look at it, but the amount of the herb was so large that I had to tear off a few leaves and chew.

The bearded man over there greeted the samurai next to him to chew together, and the house suddenly became another scene.Everyone in the room was stuffing handfuls of leaves into their mouths and chewing.

When the herb was chewed to the half-finished product, the juice was chewed out, making it bitter and astringent.

Zhong Xiaofeng asked everyone to take out the herbs in their mouths and apply all the herbs on the bearded man's injured leg.

On the outside of those herbs, bandages and gauze were wrapped again.

After finishing all this, Zhong Xiaofeng said: "Wait a minute, if there is no bleeding within 5 minutes, it means that the herb has worked."

The next 5 minutes are extremely difficult 5 minutes. The result after 5 minutes is enough to decide our life or death.

After such a toss, if the bearded man's injury worsens again, we will all be the culprits.

Everyone is waiting for the result.

I am still optimistic about the result. A wound as serious as a gunshot wound can be treated, and the treatment of this leg injury should not be bad. Five minutes finally passed. Thankfully, the bearded man's leg did not appear injured or bleed anymore.

The herbs I took out had a miraculous effect. When I picked those herbs, they were originally picked for ourselves in case of emergencies, but I never expected that they would be used on this bearded man.

Zhong Xiaofeng also breathed a sigh of relief, and said to Yunmei: "His injury will not recur for the time being. This herb is very miraculous, I believe he will be able to walk on the ground soon. But as I said, I don't know Gu skills, he There are still that kind of Gu worms in the body. But the number of these Gu worms is very small, and it will take longer to differentiate in the body. I can think of some other ways to lure the remaining Gu worms out. But I also need time to study the Gu nature of the Gu insects in this basin."

I looked down, the Gu worms in that basin were originally a basin of clear water, and after a few drops of blood were thrown into it by Zhong Xiaofeng, it would not turn completely red.But now the basin of water has turned blood red due to the many Gu worms that fell, like a basin of blood water.

From the bloody water, one can still see that kind of beetle worms swimming, they swallow the bloody water, and spit out a stream of thicker bloody water.

I don't know what kind of survival these Gu worms are.It seems that although Zhong Xiaofeng doesn't know Gu skills, he still has a certain understanding of the basic attributes of this kind of Gu insects.

Through one incident after another, Zhong Xiaofeng is gradually changing my opinion of him, and even increasing my confidence in him bit by bit.It is enough to prove that during this period of time, Zhong Tianhai really cared about Zhong Xiaofeng in every detail, and poured everything he knew into Zhong Xiaofeng.

I have enough reasons to believe that in another three to five years, after enough tempering, Zhong Xiaofeng will definitely become another ghost doctor. Now he is a genius doctor who has just grown up, and in the future he may even be better than blue.

Later, in order to dispel the worries of the bearded men, Zhong Xiaofeng briefly explained his method of using silver needles to lure Gu worms.He did use the principle of resonance, and then used his blood energy to transmit it to the bearded man through the silver needle.The Gu worm was first activated by Jin Chansu, and then received fresh blood energy, so it wanted to take the lead.The best outlet is the sores on the bearded legs.

Zhong Xiaofeng said the process is very simple, but we all know that it requires a lot of experience and understanding.I think Zhong Tianhai can't predict what Zhong Xiaofeng will encounter in the future, and it's impossible for him to teach Zhong Xiaofeng how to lure the Gu worm in the bearded leg.He just told Zhong Xiaofeng the relevant knowledge and theories, and when Zhong Xiaofeng was faced with such a severe and critical situation, he was able to quickly transform the theory into practice and think of corresponding countermeasures. possible.

Yunmei over there has already relayed what Zhong Xiaofeng said to the bearded man at the same time.

The bearded man looked very excited, and with the help of two followers, he stood up from the chair.

Zhong Xiaofeng hurriedly said: "You can't do strenuous activities yet, it's best to lie down and rest, it will take at least two days depending on the situation."

After Yunmei's translation, the bearded man shook his head, and said a lot of things he couldn't understand in a hurry.

I probably guessed what he meant, we came here with Yunmei to save Zhong Xiaofeng, and the reason why we want to save him is because a large-scale sacrificial event will be held here, which is what we guessed is the Great Sacrifice of Mountains and Rivers.

During the sacrificial activities, Zhong Xiaofeng and the third uncle who were likely to be captured will be used as sacrifices for this mountain and river sacrifice.

Calculating according to the time, this mountain and river festival should start in another hour.This bearded man seemed to have a high status in the tribe, and Zhong Xiaofeng had to be under his supervision, so he was definitely required to come forward for this great sacrifice.So when Zhong Xiaofeng asked him to rest for two days, he definitely couldn't do it.

The bearded man was supported by the two attendants, walked up to us, folded his left and right palms, and bowed to Zhong Xiaofeng with that special etiquette, and then bowed to me again, with an expression on his face. Looks very humble.

The stone in my heart fell to the ground.Knowing that the people here seem rough, their lifestyle is relatively primitive, and they are almost closed to the outside world, but their hearts are still good, at least they know how to be grateful.In this way, we made the right bet by trying our best to treat him.

The bearded man made another gesture of invitation, and let us all go to the back hall.

This wooden house looks ordinary from the outside, but the space inside is not small, and the furnishings and decorations are very exotic.

We arrived at the back hall, which looked like a conference hall, with several cushions similar to futons, each with a small table in front of the cushions, and a stove in the middle of the room, where the fire was burning brightly, and there was an iron pot on it, Water should be boiling in the pot.

The bearded man pointed to the cushions, and we sat on them.

The bearded man also sat down, said a few words to the two attendants, and the two attendants left in response.

Yunmei stayed and poured water for us. I found that although this place is closed, there are many modern utensils. From this, it can be seen that this place should also have a certain connection with the outside world.

Chapter 1465

We sat on those cushions, and now the bearded man honored us, and we didn't know what to do.I don't know if it would be offensive to ask the bearded man to let us go now, and I'm afraid that if he doesn't say something well, he will anger the bearded man again.

The face of the bearded man still looks different from us, more like people from Mongolia.For the time being, we still don't know what he really thinks.

Not long after, footsteps came from outside, and three people walked in.

The two attendants came in first, holding a tray in their hands, and inside the tray were several smaller wooden plates with steaming meat on them.

The attendant placed the trays on the table in front of us, and I found that there were knives in the tray.

The smell of the meat is still very fragrant. We haven't eaten this kind of meat for some days. After so many days of tossing, smelling the smell of the meat, our stomachs grumbled a few times.

But none of us moved, because there was another person who came in together.

This person is a woman, but she doesn't have oil paint on her face like Yunmei, and she looks like a middle-aged woman.The age is also more than 60 years old, looks ordinary, but looks very kind.The woman was also wearing a robe. After entering, she first bowed to the bearded man, and then looked at us with doubts on her face.

The bearded man nodded at Yunmei, and Yunmei said a few words to the woman.

The woman was quite excited when she heard that, she nodded, turned to face us, and said, "Where are you from?"

After hearing this, Liang Yue, Zhong Xiaofeng and I looked at each other in blank dismay.Although this woman doesn't speak Mandarin, she has a little local accent.But it is completely our language, and we can fully understand what we say.

At that moment, I really felt no less than meeting a fellow countryman and hearing the local accent in a place where the language was not spoken in a foreign country.When the fellow saw the fellow, his eyes were full of tears.I heard a familiar voice and really felt like crying.

I asked in surprise, "You...you can speak Chinese?"

The old lady nodded: "I'm a Han Chinese, why don't I speak my own language? But I haven't spoken the dialect of my hometown for a long time, and it's very kind to hear you speak."

"Then why did you come here?" I questioned.

The old woman shook her head: "It's not important anymore. I'm already so old, and I can't live for a few more years. I accept my fate, don't ask where I came from, just read where I'm going. I'm here to help you get along with each other. A messenger. I also understand their language."

Only then did I suddenly realize that this old lady was hired to act as a real translator.Yunmei can only be regarded as a one-way translator. She can listen but can't speak. This old woman can both listen and speak, so it will be much more convenient for us to communicate.

The bearded man came over, reached out and picked up the knife in the tray, cut a piece of the meat, and put it in front of Zhong Xiaofeng.In the same way, Liang Yue and I also cut a piece of meat and put them on the tray.He made another gesture of please.

Seeing this, the old lady said to us: "The mutton on this plate is safe to eat. The leader cuts the meat for you personally, and here is the highest standard of respect for you. Usually, this is only done when extremely distinguished guests come. According to etiquette, you should eat this piece of meat as a return gift."

I asked back: "Grandma, you said he is the leader here? Is he the highest leader?"

The old lady shook her head: "No, he is just the leader of this village. This village is called Lanzhai, and the leader of Lanzhai has a high status in the whole tribe."

I nodded, and finally realized that this place is really a tribe, and there are several villages under the tribe, and the yard we are in is just one of the villages, what is it called Lanzhai, and this bearded man is the leader of this village.

The bearded man didn't return to his seat after cutting the meat, but still stood there looking at us.

I picked up the knife from the tray with a piece of meat stuck in it.At this time, the meat must be eaten, because the etiquette in this place is very different from ours, and people also have to go to the countryside to do as the Romans do.People have given us the highest etiquette, and we must respond.

I brought the meat on the knife to my mouth, opened my mouth to bite off the piece of meat, chewed a few mouthfuls, and found that the meat not only smelled delicious, but also very smooth and tender in the mouth, although not as good as ours. The barbecue on the side will put a lot of seasonings, but the deliciousness of the meat alone is enough to make people feast on it.

Seeing that I ate the meat, Liang Yue and Zhong Xiaofeng also ate the meat off the tip of the knife.

The bearded man saluted us in that strange gesture again, and sat back on his seat.

The bearded man spoke to the old lady, who nodded and translated to us: "The leader is thanking you for saving your life. He said that everyone here will know how to repay you. Let us rest assured that he will try his best to keep you. Fate. But it needs to be carefully considered, because he is not the supreme leader here."

Liang Yue asked at this time: "Mother-in-law, what do you call him? What should this bearded man call him? Since this is a tribe, there must be a name. I don't think they have been here all the time, right? Where did it come from here?"

The old lady turned around and used their language to communicate with the bearded man.

After the exchange, the old woman said to us: "I am almost 70 years old this year. There are four older sisters in front of me, and I am the fifth. When I was young, my family called me Xiaowu. You can call me Grandma Fifth. Grandma Fifth Okay. I have been here for 60 years, and I know a little about their situation here. What you want to know, the leader has agreed, so I can tell you. This is the greatest respect for you. It is also the leader's great trust in you. The situation here has never been mentioned to outsiders."

I nodded, it seems that by treating this bearded man, he actually established full trust in us, and eliminated the wariness he should have.

But the fifth mother-in-law looked to be in her 50s, but she didn't expect her to be almost 60.And we have stayed here for [-] years, which surprised us.

Liang Yue was also very curious and asked, "Fifth Granny, you said you have been here for 60 years. How did you come here?"

The fifth mother-in-law said: "I used to live in a town not far from Jiayuguan, and I was captured here suddenly 60 years ago. In fact, it is not entirely correct to say that I was captured here, because I have no impression of how I came here now." .I just remember that I came here by myself, because this place is very attractive to me. I still don’t understand why I had that idea at the time.”

Chapter 1466 The Whereabouts of Third Uncle

I knew in my heart that these five mothers-in-law must have suffered some kind of sorcery, or were lured here by other methods of deception.

But I heard the fifth mother-in-law said that she lived in the town next to Jiayuguan 60 years ago.Liang Yue and I were shocked at the same time.

Because Liang Yue told me that he once met Sanjin's uncle Huo Tiancheng in the Devil's Forest.Huo Tiancheng came here to find the missing girl.And 60 years ago, a group of girls also disappeared in the town.This time point and place matched what the Fifth Granny said.

Could it be that the fifth mother-in-law was one of the girls who disappeared back then?From this, it can be deduced that the girl who disappeared in the town recently is probably here.

Liang Yue chased after her and asked, "The fifth mother-in-law, who came here with you back then, is there anyone else?"

The fifth granny shook her head: "It's gone. I'm the only one left now."

Liang Yue glanced at the big bearded man, and found that the bearded man was cutting and eating meat with a knife, so Liang Yue lowered his voice and asked, "Grandmother, a group of girls have been brought here recently, do you know where they are?" ?”

In fact, Liang Yue didn't need to be so nervous, the bearded man couldn't understand what she said.Only Yunmei and this fifth mother-in-law can understand.Yunmei gave me a different feeling from the people here, and she probably wouldn't tell the bearded man what we said.

The fifth mother-in-law was taken aback when she heard this: "What? Someone else was brought here?"

Liang Yue nodded: "It should be your town. It's just that after 60 years, the name and the area of ​​the town may have changed."

Fifth Granny shook her head: "I didn't find any other girls from outside here."

I said to Liang Yue: "Liang Yue, let's put this matter aside for now. The most urgent thing is how to deal with the great mountain and river sacrifice. Didn't you say that Xiaofeng should be used as a sacrifice? And where is the whereabouts of my third uncle?" ?”

There are too many things that need to be understood right now, and I also helped Liang Yue sort out his thoughts.

Liang Yue nodded, and said to the Fifth Granny, "Grandma, ask that bearded man, we have another person, a Taoist priest, who seems to have been arrested too. Is he locked up here?"

After the fifth mother-in-law asked, the bearded man stabbed the meat-eating knife on the table with a snap, and stood up abruptly.

I was taken aback, thinking that we had violated his taboo by asking this sentence.

In the end, I was wrong. The bearded man came to the middle of the room, talking and gesticulating towards us. Although I couldn't understand what he said, I could see that he was filled with righteous indignation, and he might have cursed a few words.

After hearing this, the fifth mother-in-law said to us: "The Taoist priest was also arrested. But he was not locked up in this stockade. Originally, the stockades here had their own functions and division of labor. The Taoist priest should have been locked up in our blue stockade. Yes. But someone robbed the Taoist priest halfway, so the leader was very angry when he mentioned it. Because the one who robbed the Taoist priest was the leader of another Chengzhai, named Mu Erlie."

"Cracked fungus? Cracked fungus, the name is weird enough, so what's the name of this bearded man?" I asked.

The fifth mother-in-law said: "The leader is Trukuertu."

"True? I remember Yunmei's name is Trugayun, so they..." Liang Yue asked.

Fifth Granny nodded and said, "Gayun is the chief's daughter."

Sure enough, as I expected, Yunmei was really the bearded daughter. In fact, this could be seen from Yunmei's concerned eyes at that time.

Liang Yue questioned: "Since Yunmei is the leader's daughter, why is she evasive when traveling here?"

The fifth mother-in-law sighed and said, "Your sister Yun is Gayun. I brought her up. There is nothing she can do to hide. I have learned a little bit about what happened this time. I think if the leader didn't suddenly Ga Yun would not run out if she got sick. In fact, she ran out rashly, she was taking a certain risk."

It turns out that Yunmei was brought up by the fifth mother-in-law since she was a child. No wonder Yunmei understands what we say.It seems that the fifth mother-in-law didn't teach her to learn our language, but she occasionally speaks some of her own language, so Yunmei listened to it more often, and she understood it.

Liang Yue asked again: "What's going on, what's going on in this tribe, why am I getting more and more confused. Mother-in-law, please tell us carefully."

The fifth granny sighed and said, "There are rules here. There are many rules..."

The fifth granny glanced back at the leader, and said to us in a low voice: "Many rules are abnormal in my opinion, even a little scary..."

The fifth granny was talking, when suddenly a warrior came in from the outside, walked up to Kurtu, and said a few words to him.

Kurtu nodded, waved the warrior away, and he came to us and said a few words to the fifth mother-in-law.

When Kurtu came over, we all looked at his legs, and he also walked up to him and unexpectedly found that after such a short period of time, his legs were able to walk freely.

There must be reasons for Zhong Xiaofeng's superb medical skills, and it may also be related to the magical effects of the herbs I gave him.

In short, Kurtu found himself recovering quickly, and was even more elated. After talking to us a few words, he took Yunmei out.

Yunmei didn't seem to want to leave, but she was taken away by Kurtu's strict orders.In the end, Yunmei said a few words to us before leaving reluctantly.

The fifth mother-in-law said: "Gayun is letting you live here with peace of mind, and she will come back to find you soon."

I was taken aback: "Live here? Why? Isn't there a big mountain and river festival at noon? We have to go to the big mountain and river festival. I'm afraid that third uncle will be in danger."

The fifth mother-in-law explained: "The news just came that there was an accident at the chief's side. The great mage looked at the time and said that today is not suitable for a big sacrifice, and it will be changed at noon tomorrow. This is really God's pity, otherwise this little brother might be killed." He was captured and sacrificed to heaven."

With that said, Fifth Granny glanced at Zhong Xiaofeng.

Then the fifth mother-in-law told us that Xiaofeng was originally used as a sacrifice in this mountain and river festival, and he would die at that time.But now that Kurtu is saved, things are still slow.Chief Kurtu is a person who knows how to repay his kindness. Although he wants to save Zhong Xiaofeng, he has no right to make decisions himself, so he must be in a dilemma.
