It is said that to untie the bell, one must tie the bell. Uncle Wen was bitten by a mandrill. He could not carry the spiritual energy and became half man, half mandrill. To put it simply, according to the degree of poisoning, Uncle Wen was the direct victim, and
The person who was bitten by Uncle Wen was an indirect victim. My method can only cure the indirect victim. For the direct victim, Uncle Wen, I can only find the murderer and use its blood to smear the wound caused by it.
, the wound was healed, and Uncle Wen was naturally fine.
It's just that Huang Xian'er was so subtle that I had to figure it out and think about it myself. I probably knew that finding mandrills was not an easy task, and besides, you had to use their blood, let alone a spiritual creature. You just had to use an unfamiliar ordinary creature.
Human blood is quite laborious.
Not to mention the additional abilities of some mandrills, such as their violent tempers and amazing combat prowess. Thinking about it, I feel really cowardly.
"Go to the root... Then how to find the mandrill?"
Brother Cui got to the point. He looked at me and said seriously: "Jiaolong, do you know where they are?"
According to my previous personality, I would have replied sincerely, I don't know.
But of course I can't say that now. Apart from the worried looks on Aunt Wen and Wen Xiaoni's faces, everyone is looking at me with expectant expressions as they regard me as their only savior. In other words, I am their reassurance now.
, if I don’t have confidence, it’s like another kick to Aunt Wen and Wen Xiaoni’s fragile souls. Therefore, even if I am being framed or forced by the situation, I can’t show it at all.
My original thoughts and the spiritual energy in my body began to surge, and I felt uncomfortable and a little hot. I looked at Brother Cui expressionlessly and opened my mouth: "I can go find him."
"Where to find it?"
The refreshing smell in my nose became more obvious. I looked at my fingers that were still bleeding. It seemed that everything was destined. I now have the spiritual energy of a mandrill in my body. If my reasoning is not wrong, I can smell it now.
The faint scent of grass in the big ones should be the smell of mandrills. According to the smell, you should be able to find them. He raised his eyes and looked at them: "You guys wait for me here. I will come back when I find the mandrills."
"This mountain forest is so big, you can't go there by yourself, I will accompany you!"
Zong Bao spoke immediately, and Brother Cui on the side also nodded: "Yes, it will be very dangerous if you accidentally fall into the snow pit, so I will follow you."
"etc."
Squad leader Chen spoke next to me and looked at me slightly seriously: "Young man, you invited Xian'er last night and it's not a lie. I also believe you, but can you really find it? Even if you find it, can you really find it?"
, and how to get them back? The one I saw that day is only as tall as a child. Not only is he not afraid of the tranquilizer gun, he is also so strong that even Lao Wen and the three of them can't get it!"
This is a problem……
I looked at the white snow outside through the plastic greenhouse and opened my mouth, "I don't need to touch them. I just need to draw some blood, live in the snow, and bring it back."
Squad Leader Chen frowned: "But how could you..."
"Uncle Chen."
I interrupted him and looked at him seriously: "To be honest, I have never encountered this kind of thing elsewhere. I am indeed inexperienced. Maybe it will be in vain if I go there, but if I
If I don't go, Uncle Wen won't be able to recover. Not only will Uncle Wen not be able to recover, but there are two other people in the hospital who were scratched by mandrills who are equally in danger. Since I already know how to save Uncle Wen, how can I do it if I don't try it?
Are you sure it’s possible? If I go, I have a 50% chance of winning. If I don’t go, I’ll lose nothing.”
As soon as she finished speaking, Aunt Wen started crying and knelt down to me with a bang: "Jiaolong, please save your Uncle Wen!"
Wen Xiaoni's eyes were also red. She pulled her mother and said with tears in her mouth: "Mom, let's believe in Jiaolong, don't be like this, don't be like this..."
I really couldn't see this, so I stepped forward and directly helped Aunt Wen, "Aunt Wen, don't worry, as long as I can find the mandrills, I will definitely find a way to bring their blood back! You believe me, ah, you believe it
I!"
Aunt Wen burst into tears, looking at me and nodding her head: "I believe in you, I believe in you... I must save your Uncle Wen..."
Without further ado, I simply explained that I would take Brother Cui and Zong Bao to set off, and Squad Leader Chen and Lao Xu would also follow. I was useless. The main reason was that people needed to stay in the greenhouse, and Wen Xiao could not be allowed to leave.
Mother and daughter Ni are guarding two sick patients. Although I don't think Uncle Wen will continue to torture him, because my blood also got into his mouth. He is born with yin and yang, which more or less gives Uncle Wen a calming effect.
, but for the sake of insurance, it is safer to keep two men.
Before going out, Wen Xiaoni shouted from behind, "Jiaolong! Be careful!" After saying that, she looked at Zong Bao with worried eyes: "Zong Bao, take good care of Jiaolong."
Zong Bao didn't respond, so I smiled softly and comforted her: "Don't worry."
Wen Xiaoni nodded and stood at the door of the greenhouse with a worried look on her face, watching the three of us walking deep into the jungle. I know she was worried about her father on one side and walking into the unknown on the other.
Friends, and the most important thing is that the two are closely related. I don’t want to let myself think too much. I am filled with one belief. I want to find Mandrill and cure Uncle Wen. Not only because I am an Onmyoji, but most importantly,
This is still the purpose I have been adhering to since the day I debuted. I took this job, and even if there were mountains of swords and seas of fire ahead of me, there was no room for any hesitation on my part.
But... I always feel that Mandrill will give me some face. After all, I have Lao Xian'er with me. We all belong to the same path, so he shouldn't embarrass me too much.
Brother Cui didn't know where to go, and I had no sense of direction. The wind wasn't very strong, but there were trees hanging with snow everywhere. The scenery was extremely beautiful. It could be said that every step was a scene. The poem said, 'Suddenly, like a spring breeze coming overnight,
Thousands of pear trees are blooming. That's what I'm talking about. The scientific name is rime. The branches are completely covered with ice and snow. Every tree, except for slight differences in shape, is uniformly dazzling white. That is, you can see all the trees in front.
Trees, when I look back, they are all trees, and they all look the same. I can’t tell the difference between east, west, south, and west, and I tend to get lost every minute.
The further we walked in, the altitude might be a little higher, and I felt a little uncomfortable breathing. Brother Cui stopped me and pointed to the front: "Jiaolong, you can't go any further in. If you go further up, you will find the original red pine forest.
There have been no traces of man-made activities for hundreds of years. I have never been inside, so it is easy to get lost."
I didn't respond, but the clear breath in my nose became more and more obvious. I took a few breaths and opened my mouth: "It's right if there is no one. The more there is no one, the more you should go."
Brother Cui's expression was slightly nervous: "But it would be bad if we meet bears. Their food is short in winter, and eating people is no joke. The most important thing is that there are wolves after dark."
The scent of grass is getting stronger and stronger. To be honest, I am really tired. I have been walking for two or three hours and it is still cold. Who wants to continue walking? But there is no other way. I let out a long breath: "Brother Cui, I am too
I know there will be danger, but if I just go back like this, what will Uncle Wen do?"
Brother Cui was speechless and had to continue to lead the way. It should be said that there was no road at all. In some places, the snow was starting to be as thick as his knees. He carefully stepped out step by step, and only started to take the next step after stepping firmly. The terrain was undulating.
Yes, but because it is sparsely populated, the real road conditions are thickly covered with snow. But if you step on the wrong foot, it is easy to roll down, so Brother Cui is also looking for traces left by animals.
In this way, it can at least prove that this place is not dangerous if a living creature walks through it.
To be honest, if you really meet someone with artistic sentiments who comes in, you will really be conquered by this scenery. You can't describe it in words. Of course, except for my random thoughts, I think one after another
Neither of the two men at the end were in the mood to think about that.
Zong Bao was silent and worried all the way. I can understand that in the past Zong Bao was mostly dull with a hint of indifference. You can even see 100% trust in you from his eyes, because he knows
I will definitely be optimistic about it. It's like going to Mr. Li's haunted house. In such a terrifying environment, he didn't show any worry.
And this time, it may be due to the unpredictable natural environment, or it may be due to the unknown mandrill or the identity of the victim. All these factors are combined together, and you can feel the tension. He is very afraid that something will go wrong with me this time.
But he didn't dare to say it, and he couldn't say it. I knew he still believed me, but he couldn't control his nervousness, and I was too familiar with him. Even if he was silent, I could still read what was in his eyes.
Thinking of this, I also silently told him through actions that I would not let the victim down before, and I would not let him down this time.
"Jiaolong, we really can't go any further."
Brother Cui took a step forward and turned to look at me: "There are deep ditches on the left and right, if you fall down..."
"Brother Cui!!!!"
‘Plop!’! Before I could reach out my hand, Brother Cui suddenly felt like there was a big hole in the sole of his foot, and he fell straight into it!
I was so frightened by him. I looked at the white snow that collapsed in an instant. I said it was just blowing if I didn’t panic. I knelt down directly on the ground. I watched the snow collapse in various ways due to Brother Cui’s blow. I kept scratching the snow with my hands.
He shouted loudly: "Brother Cui! Brother Cui! Are you okay!!"
Zong Bao was also anxious and was about to step forward. I looked back at him and said, "Don't move. The place Brother Cui stepped on is a snow pit. Don't fall in again!!"
After shouting, I continued digging the snow with my hands, shouting loudly: "Brother Cui! Brother Cui!!!"
"I...I'm here..."
The other person's head didn't stick out, but a hand stretched out. I took off my gloves and held his hand, exhaling a long breath. I was scared to death. Fortunately, this was just a snow pit. If I fell into the ice,
There was no place for me to cry in a cave or a swamp. Not to mention that I couldn't find the mandrill, but I even took someone in!
"Zong Bao! Quick, help me pull!!"
It was like a tug of war. I was pulling Brother Cui's hand and pushing my body backwards. Zong Bao was holding my waist and helping me exert my strength. Brother Cui was like a big carrot buried in a deep pit.
, I pulled it out bit by bit, until his upper body came out. I looked at the snow on his face and then felt slightly relieved, "Zong Bao! Continue!!!"
I shouted loudly and continued to exert force. Brother Cui's lower body was still stuck in the snow and he couldn't exert any force. Zong Bao saw this and started to pull Brother Cui's other hand. The two of us exerted our strength one on the left and the other on the right. , the snow under my feet was pushed so fast that it looked like a hill. Just when I was blushing and feeling thick-necked, I felt that I was going to be completely deprived of oxygen, a pair of huge red eyes suddenly flashed in front of me, and I was shocked. The hand holding Brother Cui slipped down at the same time, "Brother Cui!"
My body immediately lost weight, and I could even clearly feel that I was pushed by something invisible. Before I could stumble a few steps, my body fell backwards and rolled towards the ravines on both sides, "Jiaolong!!!" ! " Zong Bao's exclamation sounded in the forest, but I was completely out of my control. I couldn't catch anything with my hands. I felt like I was rolling fast like a ball, and the tree branches scratched my face. It was painful. I should be lucky that the thick snow played a role in shock absorption. Even if I didn't get scratched to death, I would still be half crippled.
I don’t know how long I rolled, but it must have been a large slope. It felt like you were standing in front of a large, towering slide and watching the beautiful scenery. Suddenly someone kicked you in the back, and then you went down at a speed of dozens of miles. He rolled down until he felt like he was about to be scrapped before reaching the finish line. At the same time, he was hit by a bump in the snow. The man was ejected directly, and he landed hard with a 'pop'!
My whole face was buried in the snow, and my legs were stretched out in a large font. I spat out two mouthfuls of snow, "Puff! Puff!" I raised my eyes, and there were still trees all around. The difference was that The area around this place is very flat. I turned myself over like a pancake. I exhaled a long breath. Oh my God, I am still alive. Life is so damn hard.
I sat up with my arms propped up, and looked up at the mountain forest I rolled down. It was really not that high, and the ravines had regenerated, and there were trees covered with snow everywhere. How could I roll? I was quite technical. Under normal circumstances, even if you don't fall to death, your internal organs will be disturbed by the tree halfway!
I looked at the place I took the photo and saw that I had made a human-shaped shallow pit in the whole place. It seemed that this natural big mattress also saved my life. I stood up slowly and breathed in the cool air. , made his hands into the shape of a trumpet, and shouted loudly towards the forest: "Zong Bao! I'm fine!!!!"
The wind quickly blew my voice away. In nature, human power is so meager. I bit my lip. Zong Bao must have been anxious now. He scratched his head and looked around. Look. The most terrible thing is that I don’t know where this is!
I took out my phone and turned it on, but there was still no signal. The wind began to blow the snow on the ground onto my face. I bared my teeth and hid my feet heavily. The snow was so hard that I could hardly step on it. I This is where a bird has nothing to do!
Letting out a long breath, I silently told myself to calm down, calm down. The more calm I have to be at this time, otherwise I will die here or my body will be filled with fertilizer.
I looked around, and the smell of grass suddenly became stronger. I opened my eyes wide, and carefully recalled the process of falling. It was obvious that I was pushed down, and Zong Bao didn't push me, and I saw red again. My eyes definitely couldn't have been pushed by the mandrill. There was only one possibility, it was Old Xian'er who helped me!
My intuition has always been good, which is also a necessary condition for being an Onmyoji. I scratched my head, looked at this place with no village in front of me, no store in the back, gritted my teeth, and left!
Following the smell, I continued walking into the forest. This place was different from the one above. The trees below were very tall. I didn’t know what the trees were, but they were not dense and very flat. Of course, the terrible thing was that I still couldn’t tell them apart.
North and south, but the question of how to go back is no longer within my scope of consideration. I am thinking about how I can find the mandrill, so that I can make the next step.
The smell of green grass is very strong, just like the smell brought to you by the vast grassland in summer. It is very fragrant and smells good. I slowly lighten my steps and glance around, and I actually find faint footprints on the snow-capped mountains in front of me.
, they are human five-finger-shaped footprints, different sizes, pointing in one direction, very similar to human feet. Of course, it is impossible for humans to walk barefoot in the snow, so I felt happy,
It's a mandrill!
But I soon discovered the seriousness of the problem, because these footprints vary in size. The smallest ones are smaller than my hand, but the larger ones are half as big as my feet. This shows that mandrills vary in height.
There are big ones and small ones. Let me go. They still live in groups. I am tough enough to defeat them in single combat! (To be continued)
