Chapter 91 Medicine Man
Originally, after Uncle Er explained the principle of this cup, I naively thought that the strange phenomena just now were all our exaggerated imaginations.
Why did the lights suddenly lit up in the tent? Why did the lights suddenly turn green? Why were the beetles scared away from the human faces? When all this was a reasonable explanation, I suddenly felt that nothing was scary about it.
But when we saw the female corpse’s arm broken, a strange atmosphere filled the entire tent!
Kong Xue looked at me with a hint of fear in her eyes, "You mean, the broken hand that was holding you was actually this woman?"
I nodded, "There has been no rotten hand, and a female corpse that has not rotten, and the female corpse has one less hand. This coincidence is almost impossible. The only explanation is that this hand is the female corpse."
Kong Xue looked at the female corpse, "But why did she die here? How did her hand break!"
Shi Tao squatted beside the female corpse, checked for a while and said, "This woman must have been strangled to death." As he said, he looked through the female corpse's neck, "There are some purple spots clearly visible. In addition," said Shi Tao picked up the female corpse's hand again, "Look at her broken wrist, the trauma surface is very neat, obviously a quick knife, cut off with one knife!"
Kong Xue sighed and shook her head, "Kill her and chopped her hands, this is simply cruel!"
Shi Tao's words caught my attention. He cut off his wrist with a quick knife, which was very similar to the sword technique that killed Tan Dadang.
I suddenly had a guess and couldn't help but blurt out: "Can she be Tan too..."
Before I could finish my words, I suddenly found that the second uncle took off the female corpse's shoes. All of us looked at the second uncle's actions without understanding.
After taking off the female corpse's shoes, the second uncle exposed the female corpse's ankles, and a round red spot appeared on her ankles.
Shi Tao squatted down and looked at it, and asked, "Old Zhuo, what's going on?"
The second uncle looked at me and said, "You guessed that, this is indeed from the Tan family, and it is not an ordinary Tan family, but a medicine man!"
"Medicine?" We heard this for the first time.
The second uncle nodded and said, "The Tan family is located in the southwest. Most of those places are jungle wetlands, filled with poisonous insects, snakes and ants. Therefore, the Tan family has very unique insights into the use of herbs and even medical skills. So I once said that our medical skills are simply not worth mentioning compared to the Tan family."
I pointed to the red spots on the female corpse and said, "What does this mean? What does it have to do with what you said?"
"Don't be anxious," said the second uncle. "Every time the Tan family goes out to support the pot or fight alone, they will carry drugs to remove poisonous insects and detoxify. But this method cannot deal with all situations, especially in ancient tombs of old age. You will never know what you will encounter, so the ancestors of the Tan family came up with a plan for medicine!"
"Pharmman Plan?" Listening to my second uncle's explanation, I unconsciously got goose bumps.
Uncle Er said: "It is to bite a child from the Tan family from a young age by some poisonous insects or venomous snakes with less toxicity from childhood to promote the production of anti-toxic ingredients in the body. After the human body has fully adapted, it will bite with more poisonous insects and snakes. Then it will be combined with some herbs. After the child becomes an adult, powerful anti-toxic antibodies will be produced in his body, so he will hardly be afraid of any poisonous insects and venomous snakes. Moreover, with the secretion of sweat and the dispersion of body odor, it can even disperse various poisonous insects."
I couldn't help but be surprised, "Damn, it's so amazing! Just like the plot in The Legend of the Condor Heroes, Guo Jing drank the snake blood of the big snake raised by Liang Ziweng and became vicious. Unexpectedly, there was such a thing in reality."
The second uncle nodded, "Yes, but these cultivated medicine men will not live long. No matter how they maintain and regulate, they will not live beyond forty years old at most! These medicine men were bitten by poisonous insects from their ankles at the beginning, because they are far from the heart and the toxins will not immediately attack their hearts. However, there will be a red spot on the ankles, so I concluded that this female corpse is the medicine man of the Tan family! Moreover, "The second uncle suddenly lowered his voice unconsciously, "I heard that this medicine man is basically the one who rushed in the front during the fight, and is completely the role of cannon fodder, so it is generally the responsibility of the Tan family's partial tribe or the tribe of the poor family. Therefore, once this medicine man dies, he will be extremely resentful and is very likely to become a corpse!"
As soon as the second uncle said, the light emitted by the small lamp on the table suddenly turned from green to yellow! I was so scared that I was shocked! Not only me, but everyone's faces changed.
I said to my second uncle: "Isn't it not appropriate for us to tell ghost stories in such places?"
The second uncle smiled, "That's true!"
Kong Xue hugged her shoulders, "I also feel that it's a little cold here. The beetles on human faces have left, so let's go quickly!"
"good!"
I looked at the small light that was still on on the table and asked, "What should I do with this light? Will it be on here all the time?"
Uncle Er looked back and said, "This kind of lamp has complex production technology and special materials, which are relatively rare. I guess it is the thing this woman loved during her lifetime. Let's not take away what she loves! Let's put it here. After we leave, it will be quiet here, the flap will no longer move, the air inside will be exhausted, and the wick will naturally go out."
I was a little surprised at what my second uncle said. According to his statement, this kind of small lamp seemed to be quite precious. My second uncle never thought of taking it away. This made me really admire my second uncle!
Then I heard my second uncle continue, "Although this lamp is good, it is not an antique after all. At most, it is a handicraft and cannot be sold at a price!"
I felt helpless. The respect I had just now for my second uncle disappeared without a trace.
The second uncle walked to the front of the tent door, reached out to tweet, but did not tweet open. The second uncle couldn't help but say "huh".
We followed behind and saw this situation, and were also confused. The zipper at the door of the tent had just fallen off and the door could not be closed anymore, but at this time, something seemed to be stuck together at the door of the tent.
My heart suddenly hangs, and it’s not right! I slowly turned my head and looked at the female corpse lying on the ground.
Kong Xue saw my movements behind and suddenly understood what I meant. She gasped and subconsciously hid back for two steps, trembling, and asked me: "You mean, the door was closed by this female corpse!"
My heart began to beat violently, and I nodded gently, "I don't know either."
I looked at my second uncle, "Uncle II, what's going on at the door?"
Uncle Er opened a gap from above the entrance and exit of the tent, stretched his head out and immediately shrank back, his face becoming a little ugly, "It seems that we're in trouble!"
I didn't quite understand what my second uncle meant, so I plucked up my courage to walk over, and imitated my second uncle's appearance and poked my head out of the gap above. I looked down and looked down, and my scalp immediately became numb. I saw that the place where the zipper was originally pulled at the entrance and exit of the tent was now pinched together by a broken hand!
"Damn!" My heart couldn't help but tighten, and I quickly shrank my head back. I turned to look at the female corpse on the ground, "Sister, we are not familiar with each other, it's useless to hold us on. If you should be reincarnated, you should be reincarnated, and if you should be reincarnated, we are passing by!"
Kong Xue was furious by me, "What are you doing?"
I cried, "It seems that this elder sister doesn't want us to leave, so she pinched the door!"
"What?"
Shi Tao popped his head out and looked at it. He came back with a serious face and whispered a few words in Kong Xue's ear. Kong Xue's face turned pale in an instant.
Uncle II looked at the female corpse, lowered his head and said nothing, and didn't say anything for a long time. I asked him in a low voice, "I don't see that the tent is strong, let's break the tent and rush out!" As he said that, I had already pressed my hand on the short knife.
The second uncle waved his hand, "No! This female corpse actually did not harm us. She grabbed you at the beginning, and according to the direction she guided at that time, she should also plan to lead us here. After all, she still wants to help us. Now that we are left here, we have a wish! It is better not to be too extreme, so as not to be unfavorable to us!"
I was so angry that I was very angry, "How do I know what she wants? Could she still tell me if she can speak up?"
As soon as I finished speaking, Kong Xue from behind raised her hand and hit me, "Don't talk nonsense. If she really speaks, she won't be scared to death!"
I poked Uncle Er, "Uncle Er, you are always more experienced in this matter, so you should do it!"
The second uncle glared at me, "Are you praising me? Who has experience talking to dead people? Are you looking for a fight?"
I quickly admitted my mistake, "Dede, I was wrong. You can deal with this elder sister first, and I will talk about the beating me later!"
The second uncle snorted and said to the female corpse: "Friends from the Tan family, I can probably guess what you are doing. You are harmed by your fellow tribes and are unwilling to accept it. But I tell you that those fellow tribes who harm you are also dead, so you can feel at ease. If we can go out, we will definitely ask someone to help you to save yourself and let you reach the Pure Land soon!"
I looked at my second uncle in surprise and asked softly: "How do you know that she was killed by someone from the same clan?"
Uncle Er waved his hand and said nothing. He looked back at the door of the tent that was still closed, frowned, and said to himself: "Did you guessed wrong?"
I was anxious and had no choice but to guess according to the plot of a general mystery drama, and tried to speak: "Sister, there is probably a mastermind behind this matter. We will try our best to find out for you and give you justice!"
Uncle Er hit me with his arm and asked in a low voice: "Do you know there is a mastermind behind this matter?"
I also replied in a low voice: "I don't know, I'm talking nonsense! See if I can guess correctly!"
