"Master Zhao, where are you people? I didn't see it!"
"Why can't you see that we are at a steamed bun stall? Have you passed by?"
I turned around and drove back. Not long after, I saw Mr. Zhao from Xiangxi and a middle-aged man standing on the roadside. Mr. Zhao was wearing a mask.
After more than a year apart, Mr. Zhao is still the same. Although his hair is gray, he still looks energetic.
I helped them put away their luggage, got in the car and closed the door. I put on my seat belt and turned around and asked, "Master Zhao, have you taken off your mask? Who is this eldest brother?"
"This is Lao Hui from Jishou Aizhai. Don't call me brother, call me uncle Hui. You can take off the mask later."
"Hello Uncle Hui," I quickly handed him the cigarette.
This man is not good-looking, he is in his fifties, with a sallow complexion and messy hair. His dark circles are the worst I have ever seen. He looks like he hasn’t slept in a year. His mouth is full of old yellow teeth, and there are stains between his teeth.
I was wearing a leek leaf and when I started talking, the pungent bad breath almost hit me. Only then did I understand why Mr. Zhao didn’t take off his mask.
"Your cigarette is bad, it's boring, I'd better smoke mine."
He took out a newspaper and a small bag of tobacco from his pocket, spat on his hand, and rolled the tobacco skillfully. He also asked if he would roll one for me, but I quickly said no.
He lit the newspaper and rolled a cigarette, took a nice puff, and said in a hoarse voice: "How far has the little girl come?"
"What little girl got to that point?" I didn't understand.
Mr. Zhao said from the side: "Old Hui means that the little girl who was poisoned by corpse poison has developed to that point."
I thought about it and said quickly: "Half of her face is very dark. She is twisting back and forth uncomfortably while lying on the bed. She has a low fever and doesn't respond much to outside sounds."
"Oh, have you ever eaten anything fishy?"
I said: "Currently I only know that I have eaten pork liver, live chicken, and beef heart."
"Be good !She even ate beef heart?”
I nodded.
Uncle Hui took a puff of the cigarette in his hand and looked out the car window solemnly without saying anything.
He didn't say anything and I didn't dare to ask random questions. It probably lasted more than a minute.
"puff".
Then a foul smell filled the car.
He scratched his head in embarrassment and said with a smile: "Sorry, I farted. I felt it just now and couldn't let it out. I was brewing for a while."
I looked weird and asked, "Is there any hope?"
He threw away the cigarette in his hand and said: "Corpse poison will develop very quickly if not controlled. Once the heart of an animal is eaten, it means it has entered an advanced stage. In this case, no medicine will work.
There are only two people in the world who can save her."
I said happily: "Uncle Hui, are you one of the two?"
He smiled and said: "Exactly."
I picked him up at around 9 o'clock in the morning. When we arrived at the hotel, he glanced at Achun who was tied to the bed by us and said in a cold voice: "Now go and prepare a bottle of strong liquor. The minimum alcohol content is 60 degrees. Then prepare
A three-pound elbow, a moulted squab, seventeen quail eggs, six ounces of fresh leeks, and half a pound of river shrimp, remember?"
Although he was confused, in order to save Achun, he quickly asked Xiaoxuan to buy these things.
Xiaoxuan rushed back in less than half an hour. Uncle Hui walked over to catch the things and said thank you. Xiaoxuan was so stupefied by the bad breath that she retched and immediately said uncle, I'm sorry.
Uncle Hui grinned, then walked into the kitchen, filled the pot with half a pot of water, and poured everything in.
pour salt pour
Soy sauce, turn on high heat, cover the pot, he said go out and wait.
The pot of food had been simmering for more than an hour. We were all wondering how these things could save Ah Chun. Then we saw him taking the pot out of the kitchen with a rag on his back and eating it himself.
A mouthful of strong wine and a mouthful of elbow.
Pick up a leek with chopsticks and a quail egg.
He was sitting on the sofa, holding the pot and eating with his mouth full of oil.
I asked doubtfully: "Uncle Hui, didn't you buy these to save Ah Chun?"
He pursed his lips and said vaguely: "I eat these things just to save the little girl. Remember, from now on until 12 o'clock tonight, I will have to eat this meal every two hours to replenish my body."
Dou Sprout stared and asked, "Then what are you going to eat next? Or these?"
Uncle Gray said with a smile: "You can't repeat what you have eaten before. This time I had elbows, pigeons, leeks, river shrimps, and quail eggs. The next meal I will have dog meat, donkey meat, oysters, wolfberry hair eggs, do you understand? I have to take a lot of tonic."
Something yang.”
At this time, Mr. Zhao said: "Just do as he says."
I asked out of curiosity: "Uncle Gray, why did you only eat until twelve o'clock?"
He took a big bite of his elbow, wiped the oil on his lips and explained: "Because at midnight, this time period is when day and night exchange, when yin and yang meet, when the cycle of life and death occurs, the qi in the human body,
Subtle changes will occur during this time period.”
"Remember, you only have one chance, and I can only try it once. The better I eat now, the greater the chance that the little girl will be cured. Do you understand?"
Douyazai and I looked at each other and were both stunned. If this person hadn't been personally invited by Mr. Zhao, we would have definitely thought that he was just eating and drinking.
Uncle Gray pinches At the right time, you have to eat a meal every two and a half hours. You must eat something that can replenish a man's yang energy, and there is a prerequisite: what you have eaten cannot be repeated again.
We all went shopping, including all kinds of whip, loach, mutton, yams, sea cucumbers, cordyceps, etc., we bought everything we could.
He had an unknown structure in his stomach and digested very quickly. He ate a large pot at a time and went to the toilet immediately afterward. The smell was so bad that even the bathroom door and windows could not be blocked. The landlord came directly to the door and said: "Hey
! Take a look quickly! Is the toilet coming up?"
I sent the landlord away and spent the night like that.
Uncle Hui leaned on the sofa and burped repeatedly, patting his belly at the same time. He opened his mouth wide and yawned. He looked at the time on the wall and said, "It's almost eleven o'clock. It's time to get ready."
He took out an iron box from the bag he brought, handed it to Xiaoxuan and said, "Take it."
Xiaoxuan opened the iron box and looked at it, wondering what it was.
I also saw that there were round balls, long sticks, and cotton in the iron box. They were all black in appearance, even the cotton.
Uncle Hui lit a cigarette. He blew out the smoke and said, "You are the only girl here. It is most convenient for you. Now go into the house and block the six orifices of the little girl named Achun. Remember, only leave this one."
, Uncle Gray pointed at his mouth as he spoke.
"ah?"
There were all men here. Xiao Xuanteng's face turned red. After a minute or two, she calmed down and asked, "Are you sure?"
"Sure, this is the only way to save people."
Uncle Hui's face was solemn. He stood up with a cigarette in his mouth and said: "Seal the six orifices and leave one. I will give her a corpse poison to cure her."
