Chapter 9 Strange Diseases
"But apart from being a little stupid, this old man is pretty good. Let's find out more about the situation tomorrow. This village is really weird!" Wang Yuanchao said with a frown.
The hard work lasted until midnight, and everyone's physical strength had reached its limit. This time, Wang Yuanchao was on guard duty and we took turns to rest.
This time I slept extremely heavily. I felt as if I was in a raging fire. My mouth was dry and my throat was about to smoke.
I sat up suddenly, grabbed the water bottle in the package and drank water gurglingly, but the feeling of thirst only weakened slightly.
At this time, I suddenly thought of something, and my face suddenly turned pale!
I quickly raised my head and found Chen Tuozi sitting on the ground in a daze, while the fat man, like him, was drinking water crazily.
My heart felt cold and I no longer had any luck!
Wang Yuanchao and I looked at each other, then said with a wry smile: "It seems that we have all been tricked..."
The atmosphere in the room was a bit stagnant. Looking at the sluggish look of the old man on the bed, I suddenly felt as if my body had fallen into an ice cellar. Especially when I thought about the old lady I met in the forest who was lying on her stomach like a dog drinking water. Could it be that I was very...
Will it become like that soon?
I opened my mouth and took a few deep breaths, forcing myself to calm down, and then asked Wang Yuanchao: "Have we been bitten by something just now, or has anyone approached us while we were sleeping?"
"We all applied strong mosquito repellent oil along the way, so there shouldn't be any bites on us. And I was on guard just now, so no outsiders will ever approach this room!" Wang Yuanchao said firmly.
The fat man howled like a ghost and said: "It's over, it's over, why do I feel like there are bugs crawling around in my stomach?"
"Go away, stop talking nonsense!"
The fat man's words shocked me, but after I felt it carefully, I realized that it was the fat man who was talking nonsense, and I couldn't help but become angry with shame.
"Fourth girl, what do you think?"
Chen Tuozi hesitated for a moment and then asked.
The fourth girl was sitting on the chair like a sculpture. He suddenly pulled out the dagger and slashed his wrist. The sharp action shocked me.
Then he gently licked the blood flowing from his wrist and said to himself: "It's not poisoning."
I shook my head. It seemed that it was impossible to rely on this mysterious fourth girl.
"Everyone, don't panic! We have nothing else to do except a strong desire for thirst. Let's find out what's going on first so that we can easily deal with any emergencies." I said.
Several people all nodded in agreement. In the following time, we found that the situation was still within control for the time being. We now feel extremely thirsty almost every hour, and after drinking water, we are like normal people.
There are no other uncomfortable symptoms at all.
After a few hours of fumbling around, we breathed a sigh of relief.
"Oh my god, I'm thirsty again! If I keep drinking this damn thing, my stomach will expand into a water ball." The fat man cursed.
"Wait a minute, fat man, please bear with me for a moment and don't drink water yet." I suddenly had an idea to see what would happen if I didn't drink water.
The fat man nodded, but soon his face began to twist and he yawned frequently, like a drug addict who couldn't find his drugs.
"How are you feeling, Fatty? Are you okay?" I asked anxiously.
"Damn it, it feels so uncomfortable. My throat feels like it's on fire. I'm so dry and thirsty..."
Before the fat man finished speaking, he suddenly let out a miserable howl, bared his teeth and rolled on the ground.
"Hurry up and give the fat man some water!"
I was so shocked that I asked Wang Yuanchao to quickly feed the fat man the remaining water in the basin. After a while, the fat man's howling like a pig was subsided.
"Damn Li Dingdang, he comes up with such bad ideas all day long. Fatty almost lost these two hundred kilograms of meat here because of your few words."
The fat man said weakly.
"I said, what happened to the little fat guy just now? Why did he suddenly become like that?"
Chen Tuozi asked with a serious look on his face. Seeing Fatty like this made us feel relieved again.
"I don't know. I just felt like something was drilling into my heart, and then it hurt like hell." The fat man was also a little confused.
"village head."
At this time, the door was suddenly pushed open, and a dark-skinned young man with bare feet and shirt walked in. He looked at the people in the room and asked strangely: "Who are the village chiefs?"
"They are all foreigners." The old man on the bed suddenly made a muffled voice, which startled me.
When I turned around, I found that the old man was looking at me with great energy. Where was the demented look from yesterday?
"Old man, are you okay? When we chatted with you yesterday, you didn't answer us a word." I asked.
"It's okay. Sometimes my head is foggy. What are you outsiders doing in Shaozi Village? We haven't had outsiders come to our place for nearly decades." The old village chief asked strangely.
"Old man, what's the matter with the strange disease in your village? We are sent by the country to help you treat your illness." I said loudly, using all the excuses I had prepared before.
"Hahaha, okay, okay, okay." The old village chief laughed arrogantly, as if he was a night owl, and it made my skin crawl all over.
The old village chief took my hand and said with a serious face: "My dear, you don't need to treat your illness. Sincere illnesses will naturally get better. Once you become sincere, you can see them."
When the old village chief said this, there was a kind of piety in his eyes that made me feel horrified, as if he was a cultist.
And what the old village chief said also puzzled me.
Can sincerity cure thirst?
And if you see them, who are they?
Several of us were a little confused. I frowned and asked a few more questions, but the old village chief always talked about nonsense.
Then he seemed a little impatient, and he and the villager quickly went out.
"Is this old man pretending to be crazy? Do you want to tie this old man up and give him a whip? I asked him everything." The fat man frowned.
"I don't know if he is pretending to be crazy or not, but when Dingdang told you about treatment, his eyes were a bit... ferocious. This old man must know a lot of things. The look last night was probably just an act." Wang Yuanchao looked at it.
I said seriously.
I know Wang Yuanchao. He used to be a scout. Once he says these words, it means that he is inseparable.
"Let's explore the bottom of this village first!" I thought for a moment and said.
