Take off your pants and expose one side of your thigh.
Sister Hong and I were both frightened.
Didn't expect it at all.
There was a wound the size of a fingernail on the outside of my thigh, near my pants pocket!
The skin and flesh of the wound were everted, purple-red, and somewhat suppurated.
The thing is, I didn't feel any pain at all!
I pressed it lightly with my hand and felt nothing at all.
When I pressed the wound on my thigh, some juice flowed out.
At the same time, Sister Hong obviously didn't speak, but I heard a voice.
"Yunfeng, where are you? I'm here." This is what I heard on the night when the fog started.
Judging from Sister Hong's expression, I can tell that only I can hear this voice, not her.
"Wait! Yunfeng, don't move yet!" Sister Hong shouted, her eyes were horrified, staring at my wound.
I saw that on the inner side of my thigh, visible to the naked eye, the skin and flesh were constantly undulating, and there was clearly something alive inside!
"Don't move! Bear it!" Sister Hong took out the dagger directly.
My thighs looked like this, I was scared.
I bit my clothes and watched all this in horror.
The dagger was very sharp. Sister Hong gritted her teeth. She targeted the area on my thigh that was slightly squirming and pulled the knife right away.
As soon as the dagger cut the flesh, there was blood. I bit my clothes tightly, expecting it to be very painful. Unexpectedly, I didn't feel any pain at all. I just felt a soreness and numbness.
After cutting open the flesh, you can see clearly.
Inside was a yellowish-brown insect. It was the legless cicada that I had carried in my pocket out of curiosity.
Sister Hong carefully dug out the bug with the tip of a knife.
The cicadas die after they emerge.
As soon as the insect died, I started to feel pain. The wound on the outside of my thigh felt like a heartbreaking pain.
Sister Hong used a dagger to cut her own clothes, and tied me up with a strip of cloth to stop the bleeding.
She wiped her sweat, took a breath and said, "Okay, it should be fine."
Strangely enough, once the bug was removed, I no longer imitated her speech. The previous auditory hallucinations disappeared and everything returned to normal.
Sister Hong looked at the dead bugs on the ground, frowned and said, "What an evil thing. I never thought of it before, but now I suddenly thought of something, a small bug called a yes-bug in legend."
Sister Hong spent more than ten minutes telling me everything she thought about.
I felt incredible after hearing this.
This insect has been recorded many times in ancient books. At first, the ancients did not know enough about it and classified this disease as one of the rare and difficult miscellaneous diseases. There is a record in "Compendium of Materia Medica".
"Read the medicinal materials, take thunder pills, and the insects will stop."
Specifically how Li Shizhen cured the disease, this is how later generations interpreted it. It is said that at that time, Li Shizhen showed a catalog of medicinal materials to people suffering from strange diseases. Li Shizhen asked the person to read the names of the medicinal materials aloud. At first, the patient had no abnormalities until he recited "Thunder Pills".
"When he was given this name, the patient began to tremble in hands and feet, sweating on his head, and looked very frightened. Later, Li Shizhen used thunder pills as medicine, decocted it and let him drink it. Sure enough, the strange disease got better the next day. This is a legend of later generations.
statement.
This kind of insect was discovered in a secret place in the garden. I carefully recalled the cause and effect of the incident.
Chen Jiansheng has been trapped here for some time. Before we arrived, he had entered it several times.
Is there a possibility that the reason why he imitates human speech is because, like me, he has this weird bug crawling into his skin.
Maybe it's been a long time, and Chen Jiansheng's condition is more serious than mine, so before the attack, his eyes will be blurred and he will be in a daze.
And because I discovered it early, I was still conscious when the attack occurred.
Chen Jiansheng never met anyone at first, so this thing has been lurking.
When I think about it, it seems to make sense.
What happened is not a good thing. Although it was dealt with early, it will definitely have an impact on our upcoming launch plan.
becomes more difficult.
There is something weird everywhere here.
Mandrills, golden moss, unknown flowers and trees, yes-men, burial pits, sacrificial platforms, stone sculptures of horses, and finally the small pool in front of you.
Sister Hong meant that it should be done without further delay. When the wound on my leg stopped bleeding, Sister Hong stood up and said, "Get ready, let's get into the water and swim out."
Standing hand in hand at the edge of the pool, she took a deep breath, turned around and warned me: "I've just kicked Yunfeng, you have to work hard, don't be afraid, remember what I said before, right? We can all get out alive."
"
I gritted my teeth and nodded: "I understand, Sister Hong, let's fight for it!"
"Breathe in, take a deep breath."
I took a big breath and took a deep breath.
"I'll count from one to three, and I'll start when I get to three. Keep in sync. The distance is not far. Hold it in one breath until the end. You have to hold on to me."
"one."
"two."
"three."
"Jump!"
Without hesitation, on the count of three, she and I jumped into the water almost simultaneously.
The water temperature was not as cold as in the underground river, but the visibility in the water was not high. I puffed out my cheeks and held my breath, kicked my legs wildly, and held on to Sister Hong tightly, asking her to take me swimming.
Several very small fish swam past me. After diving for less than a minute, I vaguely saw many stone steps in the water, one by one.
The direction we swim is to follow the direction of the steps.
There were no aquatic plants underwater, so there was no need to worry about getting tangled up in the weeds, but something unexpected happened.
Because I was kicking my legs underwater, the bandaged thigh wound opened...
A lot of blood flowed continuously along the wound to the surrounding area.
Because of the smell of blood, a snakehead fish about a foot long was attracted from somewhere. The snakehead fish was not big, but it looked like it had teeth.
Sister Hong looked back and saw this fish.
Her eyes were frightened, and she desperately dragged me forward with great strength.
Such violent movements are accompanied by a large consumption of oxygen in the lungs.
Soon I felt that I had reached my limit and my lungs felt uncomfortable.
Blood kept oozing out.
Then, I saw snakehead fish with teeth gathering around me.
They gathered together, followed the smell of blood, and finally targeted Sister Hong and me.
The school of fish gathered more and more and began to chase us!
Swimming along these underwater steps, at a critical moment, red dots of light appeared on the water surface in front, looking like torches.
"Gudu," I reached my limit, couldn't hold my breath, and took a big drink of water.
Pain came, and a black fish bit me on the thigh.
Then, two...
As we got closer and closer to the water, Sister Hong was also attacked. She seemed to be going crazy and dragged me out of the water.
"Help...help!"
As soon as my head came out, I took a big breath and shouted for help. A piranha bit me.
On the shore, torches shine.
Boss Sun and Boss Sun held torches and looked at Sister Hong and me in a daze.
"Xiao Hong!"
"Yunfeng!"
The eldest brother and the third brother put down their torches without taking off their clothes. They jumped into the water with a splash and dragged me ashore.
There were several snakehead fish biting on my leg, and Sister Hong was the same. She also had a few snakehead fish bitten on her arm, and it hurt just to look at it.
The third brother slapped his thigh fiercely, with a look of excitement on his face.
