to blame

It took three days for Ming Xia to fully wake up.In the words of Mr. Hu, the trauma was actually not serious. Apart from the original wound left by Luo Luo, there were also two bone fractures.The most serious injury is inside the body.Ming Xia's five internal organs were damaged to varying degrees and needed rest.

Ming Xia looked at the medicine bottle Mr. Hu took out and found it very familiar, "Orally taken?"

"For internal use," Mr. Hu said, "Use rice wine to dissolve a pill every night."

Ming Xia, "..."

For the first time, Ming Xia questioned Mr. Hu's medical skills.Prescribing the same medicine for him and the rabbit is nothing to say, Ming Xia has already received the same treatment from Tu Qing.But why is the dosage the same?

Ming Xia noticed that the surrounding environment was very familiar, it was Mr. Hu's office where he used to live.I haven't seen it for a few days, and there are some more decorations: a camp bed, a pair of blue cotton curtains, and a pot of pothos on the window sill.

Ming Xia thought to himself, he is so stupid, why didn't he notice that he was actually given special treatment before?There are so many injured people in the old city, but Mr. Hu personally treats few of them, and he is the only one who can lie in his office.Who is Mr. Hu?Who is Nan Jiang?If the daily work of the sixth team is to deal with similar cases, how serious is the signal left by Luo Luo on him in the eyes of these well-informed rescuers?

This is the only reason he knows.But Ming Xia knows now, and this is probably the least important reason.

"I have a lot of questions." Ming Xia looked at Mr. Hu, his voice was a little weak, "May I ask you?"

Mr. Hu's eyes flickered, "Oh, what's the rush, the most important thing is to keep healthy."

Ming Xia stared at him without saying a word.

Mr. Hu couldn't stand it any longer, and when he sat down by the bed, he let out a long sigh, "Why are you so stubborn? Ask, ask, but I don't promise to answer all questions."

The old man showed a cooperative attitude, but Ming Xia calmed down. Compared with doubts about himself, he was of course more concerned about things in real life, "What happened to the pet shop? There are also rabbits and Qingqiu?"

"Fortunately, the living things are fine." When Mr. Hu saw him asking this, his face showed a relaxed expression, "The cats and dogs in the store are a little frightened, and their appetites have not been very good these two days, but in general It’s nothing serious, Nanjiang has arranged for someone to take care of it for you. Also, the shops facing the street are almost destroyed, and the government will come forward to repair it, so don’t worry.”

Ming Xia felt much relieved. The pet shop still has pets fostered by customers, so if something goes wrong, it will be difficult to explain.

"The rabbit and Qingqiu are fine, and Qingqiu also has some internal injuries, so he will be fine after taking care of them." Mr. Hu sighed, "You protected them well."

"My protection..." Ming Xia looked directly at him, "What the hell is that thing?"

"How can I explain this?" Mr. Hu was in a dilemma. "It's a long story. There are many things that you shouldn't know..."

The door of the office was pushed open from the outside, and Nan Jiang walked in.He looked Ming Xia up and down, as if he wanted to make an accurate assessment of his physical condition, but his brows were usually cold and reserved, and his tone was cold, with a bit of indifference, "What's the matter?" It’s hard to say? Can’t we just pick the simplest way to explain it?”

Hu Lao was angry, "You are capable! You come!"

Nan Jiang raised his eyebrows and gave him a look of "learn a bit", carelessly dragged a chair and sat by the bed, looked at Ming Xia with a very sincere expression, and said, "One of your ancestors was very A capable person. Before his death, he condensed all his spiritual power and laid a protective formation in the blood of his direct descendants. After his death, every few hundred years, this ability will awaken in a lucky descendant , when the main body is in danger of life, the protective formation will be activated."

Ming Xia thought of the crane shadow that appeared in the void before the formation disappeared, "Why is there a crane on the formation?"

Nan Jiang replied very simply: "This cannot be said."

Ming Xia didn't have the confidence to pry his mouth open, so he changed the question, "Has this formation that protects me been destroyed?"

Nan Jiang shook his head, "It was temporarily put away because it ran out of energy. If it encounters danger again, it will reappear, and... it will continue to be passed down in your bloodline as the most precious legacy. "

Ming Xia was slightly dizzy, this feeling of sudden windfall... really makes people feel a little at a loss.

"That's why the big snake came to me? Luo Luo too?" This is what worried Ming Xia the most.If this precious protective formation is like a fragrant meat bun that will attract monsters at any time, it doesn't sound so wonderful.

"Not really," Nan Jiang frowned and organized his words, "What happened to Luo Luo was a coincidence. Later, you were pecked by Luo Luo and bled a lot. During this process, some powerful monsters would catch this Breath. Qiao He only noticed it because he had been in close contact with you."

Ming Xia remembered the time when Qiao He went back to the pet shop to pack his things. They still stood together and chatted for a long time that day.

"He regards me as Shiquan Dabu Pill?"

Nan Jiang didn't smile. On the contrary, his expression was quite serious. "For monsters, isn't it normal for the weak to prey on the strong? Even humans...you go hunting, and when you can hunt gazelle, you will hunt wolves?"

Ming Xia Fu's forehead, as expected, is still a life for monsters.It seems that to protect yourself in the future, it is best to be careful when cutting vegetables and fruits, and try your best to avoid injury and bleeding.

Nan Jiang gave him the knife with a smile on his face, "Cherish life and protect yourself."

Ming Xia complained in her heart: Talking nonsense!

"That's not right," Ming Xia suddenly discovered a loophole, "It was Qiao He who came into close contact with me at the beginning, but Qiao He was swallowed by a big snake in the villa." Is it because of the fusion of their genes?

"This matter is a bit complicated." Nanjiang looked at him thoughtfully, "I'll think about whether it's appropriate to tell you."

Ming Xia was surprised, "Is there still a condition?"

Nan Jiang seemed to be seriously considering his proposal.

Mr. Hu couldn't stand it anymore, "It's really a bunch of nonsense. Qingqiu has been arranged by his side, and now he is pretending. Come on, young man, let me explain to you."

Ming Xia glanced at Nanjiang, feeling unbelievable in his heart.Such a cold-faced guy, is he telling a joke?

"You have been in too much contact with these things, and it's not good to tell you nothing," Mr. Hu explained, "Look, you still have to recuperate in the old town, and there may be some unexpected situations in the process. What's your situation? If you don’t understand it, it’s easy to be in danger when things come to an end.”

Ming Xia nodded to express her understanding.

"The cause of the incident is actually very simple," Mr. Hu said: "The earthquake in Xishan caused Luo Luo to escape by accident. Luo Luo has been hungry for many years, so he swarmed out to look for food. This kind of bird is the food of big snakes. , so the big snake chased after him, and entered the old city just like that, only to find that he could not get in and out after entering.”

Ming Xia suddenly realized that the circle around the old city that Mr. Hu mentioned was not for controlling ordinary people.

Nanjiang added: "The big snake probably carried something on its body, or it did something to lead the leader of their clan to the old city. In short, the big snake had a conflict with the leader, or the leader was very angry at it for bringing himself into the old city." The encirclement of the city is dissatisfied."

If he doesn't say what's next, Ming Xia can make up his own mind. In short, the big snake and the leader got into each other's hands, and then Qiao He suffered a catastrophe and died.

As for how Qiao He came into contact with the big snake, and what kind of intersection with it, Nanjiang probably didn't find out.After all, the parties (snakes) are all dead, so it is not easy to deduce the complete process.

"Is the big snake really dead?" Ming Xia was a little uncertain, he remembered Qing Qiu said something like running away before he passed out.

Nan Jiang and Mr. Hu shook their heads together, their expressions were quite sad.

Mr. Hu stroked his beard and sighed, "The one who died in Qiao He's villa should be the big snake that chased Luo Luo into the old town. It came out to eat people... Oh, I forgot to tell you , The big snake is not only to eat you, his demon power has not recovered, and he has to devour all kinds of little demons to increase his demon power as soon as possible. He ate all the way from Qiao's villa."

Ming Xia's scalp was numb, thinking how many monsters were imprisoned in a circle outside the old city.The two I saw on the dance floor of the bar that day, no need to ask, they must be monsters.

"Escape?"

"Escaped." Nanjiang also seemed a little aggrieved, "I didn't expect its strength to recover so quickly... The main reason is that it has lived a long life, has rich experience in anti-capture, and is good at grasping the weakest places to break through."

"Qingqiu said it destroyed the eyes of the array."

Nan Jiang and Mr. Hu looked at each other, Nan Jiang scolded angrily: "This damn fox, why is his mouth so fast?"

Ming Xia, "..."

Why did Captain Nan give people nicknames so casually?

"There's nothing you can't say." Mr. Hu actually didn't really care about talking to Ming Xia about it.Ming Xia is just an ordinary person, no matter how much he knows, there are many ways to make him forget all this, "The entire Yaoxi area, including Xishan, is a complete demon sealing formation."

Ming Xia, "..."

"The entire demon sealing array is divided into different areas. Some areas seal big monsters with a ferocious nature like the big snake; Goblin monsters... all the different formations are interrelated and intertwined."

Mr. Hu added, "This side of the old city is a civilian residential area."

Not a commoner, Ming Xia thought, it should be called... Ping Yao?

Ming Xia's understanding of "monsters" before was limited to Luo Luo, a monster with a monstrous temperament, but after seeing a big snake appearing in the form of Qiao He, and then quickly transformed into a snake, he discovered what Hu Lao said: That's right: the world is very big, and there are so many things he doesn't know!

For example, now, he has no way to analyze how the big snake maintains the appearance of Joch from a biological perspective, and how it changes back to its original appearance in an instant—it seems that there is a hidden danger in it. A mysterious power that can change the shape of creatures that he doesn't understand at all.

"The eyes of the formation are destroyed, are the consequences serious?"

The two fell silent together.

Ming Xia thought to himself, it seems that he asked an idiot question.

"What the hell is a big snake?"

"Have you heard of 虺?" Mr. Hu said: "The 虺 is highly poisonous and likes to live in water. The whole family uses water as their surname. There is a record in the Southern Dynasties "Shu Yi Ji": 500 years of 虺It is a jiao, the jiao turns into a dragon in a thousand years, the dragon becomes a horned dragon in 500 years, and a Yinglong in a thousand years. It can be regarded as a side branch of the dragon family."

"Shui Po is cunning and cruel, and it will be punished. Anyway, if you meet it, nothing good will happen." Mr. Hu concluded with sympathy, "Look, how effective it is. Captain Nan was punished as soon as he met it."

Nanjiang, "..."

Ming Xia, "..."
