Hao Jingde understood what I was worried about and said with a smile: "Fortunately, Immortal Luoyue came back early and the water temperature is just right. If it had been any later, I'm afraid you and Zhiqi would have to boil the water again."
"I'm not worried, I'm just curious!"
After that, I asked Hao Jingde: "How much longer can we buy with this method?"
"Originally, I thought I could only find ordinary herbs, which could probably make those poisonous insects fake death for three days. I had to find a way to remove the poison within three days, but now the herbs found by Luo Yue Daxian have the effect of getting twice the result with half the effort, plus Lu Xiaohong
The body-protecting pure Yang Zhengling energy should be fine for five or six days!" Hao Jingde said thoughtfully.
"Uncle Hao, thank you!" I said my heartfelt thanks.
"We don't say thank you to each other!" Hao Jingde waved his hand and said, "Let Lu Xiaohong sit in the barrel first."
I looked at Lu Xiaohong who was lying on the bed, and said with some worry: "But Xiaohong is lying down now, how can he sit in it? If he is put into the bucket like this, he won't be able to stand, right?"
"Don't worry about this, I have a way."
Hao Jingde said, reaching out and lifting the quilt covering Lu Xiaohong.
Lu Xiaohong was lying upright on the bed. My face was slightly hot and I turned to look at the door.
"Huh? It turns out that he is still pure Yang, no wonder the obsession Gu on him is so overbearing!"
After I heard Hao Jingde say "Hey", from the corner of my eye, I saw him reaching out and gently rubbing and pressing several acupuncture points on Lu Xiaohong's body.
Following Hao Jingde's gentle movements, Lu Xiaohong's feet slowly started to bend, and his legs were lying on the bed in a meditative posture.
"Zhiqi, come here and help me lift Lu Xiaohong into the barrel!"
Hao Jingde understood the reason for my embarrassment and embarrassment and called Qian Zhiqi over directly.
I quickly stepped away so as not to disturb the father and son by standing beside the bed.
When Qian Zhiqi came over, Uncle Hao had already gently pushed Lu Xiaohong to sit up, with his legs crossed in a meditative posture and his eyes still closed.
"Be gentle with your hands and feet, his skin cannot tolerate any damage now." Hao Jingde told Qian Zhiqi with a serious look.
"What will happen if his skin is accidentally rubbed?" Qian Zhiqi asked curiously.
In fact, this is what I want to ask, but I am afraid of hearing words that will make me more desperate, so I dare not speak.
"Voodoo bugs will come out of his damaged skin, and even a small wound will become a breakthrough point for the voodoo bugs, spreading around more and more, festering, and even becoming disabled.
Moreover, his skin is extremely fragile now, and it will burst and crack if he exerts even a little force."
Hao Jingde explained: "If I weren't afraid of something going wrong, I could move him into the barrel by myself, so why would I need you to help carry him."
"I understand!" Qian Zhiqi nodded, "I will definitely be careful."
After listening to Hao Jingde's words, I suddenly realized that it was no wonder that when he crossed Lu Xiaohong's legs just now, he rubbed the acupuncture points instead of direct acupuncture or acupuncture, because those methods were obviously more efficient and faster.
Qian Zhiqi and Hao Jingde cooperated with each other and carefully lifted the unconscious Lu Xiaohong into the barrel.
Although the barrel was large, it was not very deep. Lu Xiaohong was very tall. Sitting cross-legged in it, the water just covered his neck and reached his chin, so he would not accidentally choke on the water.
After Lu Xiaohong sat in, the water vapor decreased significantly, as if the water in the bucket suddenly became colder.
There was no special expression on his face.
After about an hour of burning the incense, the water in the barrel suddenly began to boil, as if it had been boiled again, bubbling "gurglingly".
The dense white mist on the water slowly turned black, emitting a pungent smell.
Immediately afterwards, Lu Xiaohong's tightly closed eyelids began to tremble non-stop, as if he wanted to open his eyes, and his brows frowned tightly, as if he was suffering huge pain.
"Lu Xiaohong!" I called his name softly and stretched out my hand, wanting to reach into the water and hold his hand.
"Don't touch that water! The water is highly toxic now!"
Hao Jingde, who was standing next to me, took my hand and said, "This is a normal process. When all the poisonous insects are activated, he will suffer great pain.
But the process won't be long, at most, within an hour, those poisonous insects will be paralyzed after absorbing the power of the herbs, and will have no ability to attack.
Moreover, his body is also at its most vulnerable now. A large number of Gu insects want to break through his skin and rush out. If there is any external force touching it, his skin will burst open immediately."
As Hao Jingde spoke, Lu Xiaohong's expression became more and more painful. Not only did his eyelids tremble violently, but even the skin on his face began to tremble non-stop. Pieces of skin bulged and sunken, and a large number of them were visible to the naked eye.
There were traces of bugs crawling under his skin.
Lu Xiaohong's throat began to emit a painful groan, a low whimper like a wounded animal, but no matter how hard he tried, he could not open his eyes and wake up completely.
I covered my mouth tightly and looked at Lu Xiaohong's painful look. I felt so distressed that tears flowed down completely uncontrollably.
Luo Yue came to me at some point, hugged my shoulders tightly, and whispered comfort in my ear: "Sister, it's okay. Didn't Uncle Hao just say that it will be fine in a while? It will be fine in a minute."
Already..."
Lu Xiaohong's pain seemed to be endless, but I could only stand aside and watch helplessly, unable to do anything to help him, not even hold his hand.
After probably a long time, but probably only a short while, some tiny black bugs slowly crawled out of Lu Xiaohong's nostrils and ears and fell into the barrel.
Then more bugs fell out of his ears and nostrils, and some even slowly crawled out from the gaps in his closed eyes.
But after a while, there was a layer of insect corpses floating in the barrels.
As more and more bugs came out, Lu Xiaohong's groaning voice gradually stopped, and his brows gradually began to relax, as if they were not as painful as before.
Even his originally golden-paper-like complexion turned into a slightly more normal pale white.
"It's almost time! I'm going to see why that guy Dongzi hasn't come back yet!"
Hao Jingde raised his hand to look at the time, then turned to go out.
The sound of a car braking could be heard in the yard, and soon the sounds of Dongzi entering the house and going upstairs were heard from downstairs.
"Master, I'm back!" Hao Jingla opened the bedroom door, and Dongzi stood at the door carrying a large bag of ice cubes.
