Biaozi's back felt cold, his expression was horrified, and he spoke with a trembling voice: "You guys, did you hear me?"
Seeing his appearance, Jiang Yun was angry and funny: "Brother Biaozi, stop pretending, it's not fun to scare me!"
"I can't tell, you're pretending to be the same guy. Come on, stop trying to scare people here!" Wei Tu laughed.
With the two of them singing together like this, Biaozi felt a lot less fear in his heart.
He thought that maybe it was his auditory hallucination just now...
As soon as my anxious heart sank into my stomach, I felt my ankles being squeezed tightly by an icy coldness.
"ah--"
Biaozi was so frightened that he screamed, his trembling screams echoing in the bamboo forest.
His face turned pale in an instant, and he stood motionless on the spot: "Fuck! The devil is pulling my feet! Something is grabbing my feet!"
The two people opposite also saw the clues, and Wei Tu asked Jiang Yun to stay where she was.
He just stepped forward, picked up a thin bamboo branch and leaned over quietly, pointed it at Biaozi's feet, and raised his hand to wave it away.
"Wait! It seems to be a person!"
Hearing this, Biaozi was no longer afraid for an instant. He lowered his head and looked at his ankle. Sure enough, a big pale and rough hand grabbed him.
He looked behind him and saw a middle-aged man lying prone on the ground with a flattened bamboo basket on his back.
Biaozi turned around quickly and shouted: "Brother Tu, this man seems to be injured, come quickly!"
The two men stepped forward, pulled away the weeds, and turned the man over.
This is a middle-aged man of about fifty. He is thin and short. His face and body were scratched with blood from blades of grass, and the most fatal wound was on his left calf.
Wei Tu frowned: "His wound turned black, he must have been bitten by a snake. Fortunately, the man tied his calf with a rope, otherwise he would have died of the poison."
Biaozi was shocked when he heard this. He didn't expect it to be so dangerous: "Then what should we do now? We can't just ignore death, right?"
Wei Tu glanced at him: "What else can we do? Use your mouth to suck out the poisonous blood!"
Since he decided to save people, he couldn't waste time. He pushed Biaozi away and wanted to get in by himself.
"No, Brother Tu, it's up to me to do this." Biaozi stopped the man and without saying a word, he directly put his mouth to the wound.
After several attempts, the middle-aged man's black blood gradually turned red and his face turned from black to white. It seemed that his life was not in danger for the time being.
He slowly opened his eyes and said angrily: "Thank you, thank you, fat comrade..."
Biaozi grinned, and was about to reply, "You're welcome," when he felt his lips were numb, and when he spoke he felt like he had an olive in his mouth, and he couldn't hear what he was mumbling.
His heart skipped a beat, it was over, he must have been poisoned too!
Biaozi shouted with all his strength, "Brother Tu, come quickly!" But the sound he made was: "Duh! The weird one is coming!"
Wei Tu turned his head to look, but he couldn't hold it in and burst out laughing.
I saw that Biaozi's upper and lower lips were not only black, but also swollen, like two sausages. Not to mention how funny they looked.
He tried not to laugh and checked carefully: "It's not a big problem. The venom is on your mouth and it's swollen. Just wash it off with water and rest for a night and it'll be fine."
After hearing this, Biaozi felt relieved.
The middle-aged man lying on the ground forced himself to sit up and pointed in the direction: "Ahead, just follow this road and you will find my home."
Wei Tu carried him on his back and led Biaozi and Jiang Yun forward in the direction pointed by the man.
After walking for about twenty minutes, I saw a small village. There were about twenty or thirty families living here, most of whom were natives of the mountains.
The appearance of the group immediately aroused the vigilance of the villagers. After seeing the person being carried behind Wei Tu, they heard several young men running and shouting: "Little pepper! Your father has been carried back!"
Wei Tu and his party were surrounded by villagers. After a while, a bright-looking girl squeezed out of the crowd.
A fair and delicate oval face, with a pair of smart and clear eyes, with thick curled eyelashes hanging on the eyelids, as if it has an exotic aura. Under the high bridge of the nose, there is a small mouth with full lips.
It vibrated slightly with the speed of her speech.
"Dad! What's wrong with you?"
She stepped forward anxiously, her walk was windy, and she exuded a heroic spirit. The silver bell bracelet hanging on her wrist made a tinkling sound as her body swayed.
Biaozi's eyes widened as he saw such a heroic girl for the first time.
Jiang Yun came up to him and briefly explained the whole story.
The girl named Xiaojiao frowned: "You guys come home with me first."
She turned to the young man beside her and said, "Aniu, can you help me pick some herbs to treat snake bites?"
The young man blushed and nodded: "Okay! I'll send it to you in a moment."
Wei Tu and the others followed Xiaojiao back home. This was a stilted building made of wood and bamboo. Although the house was simple, it was tidy and clean inside and out.
"Put my dad on the bed quickly."
Little Pepper brought a glass of water to her father's mouth: "Dad, moisten your throat with saliva first, the medicine will be here soon."
The middle-aged man took a weak sip, pointed at Wei Tu and the three of them and said, "Jiaojiao, thanks to them for saving me, you must entertain them well."
"Don't worry, Dad, close your eyes and take a rest."
Little Pepper helped him tuck the blanket, then turned around and thanked everyone: "Comrades, thank you, thank you for saving my dad."
She looked at Biaozi with a swollen mouth and burst out laughing. Suddenly, her bright face was as bright and colorful as a blooming peony.
Biaozi was stunned and opened his mouth wide for a moment, not knowing what to say.
Little Pepper was amused by his funny appearance: "You helped my dad suck out the poisonous blood, right?"
Biaozi looked like a dazed man, he could only nod his head.
Little Pepper walked up to him and raised her lips: "Comrade, thank you, don't know what to call me?"
Biaozi tried his best to state his name clearly, but he heard him say: "Ma Biao..."
Little Pepper smiled and nodded: "Hello, Comrade Ma! This surname is not common. My name is He Jiao, and everyone likes to call me Little Pepper."
Wei Tu and Jiang Yun looked at each other and both suppressed their laughter.
Several young people introduced each other and quickly became familiar with each other.
"Little pepper, I put the herbs here for you!" When the young man from before saw someone coming out, he immediately ran away shyly.
Xiao Chili picked up the herbs, crushed them, and applied them carefully on her father's legs.
Biaozi sat aside, looking straight at her, and whispered in a mysterious voice: "How come this little guy is so handsome?"
It is said that no coincidence can be written. When he said good things, he was always vague, but when he talked about gossip, his words were clear.
Little Pepper glanced at him, raised her lips and smiled, and said mischievously: "Comrade Ma, your mouth is poisoned, so you need to apply some herbal medicine. Come and let me apply it for you. It can be removed early tomorrow morning."
Biaozi nodded in agreement and sat down in front of her without moving.
He saw Little Chili scooping up a large spoonful of herbal paste and smearing it on his mouth.
The distance between the two was so close that Biaozi could smell the faint fragrance of the other person.
