Chapter 379 Nine-spiked Mushroom

Xia Village!

This is the answer given by Yan Shun!

Xiao Zhi is a perceptive child. He knew what I was thinking at the moment by looking at my expression. He immediately took out the map from his shoulder bag and spread it on the coffee table.

Eleven villages, big and small, are squeezed between the Yellow River, Zhongtiao Mountain, Yuncheng Salt Lake and Mingtiaogang. I soon found Xia Village among them. It is about 40 to 50 miles away from here. It is the only one of the eleven villages that is on the bank of the Yellow River. Behind it is Mingtiaogang, but the area is also the smallest among these villages.

"It's just a small fishing village, very poor and run-down. It seems that there are only about 20 households left now? As long as there are still some young people who are strong, no one wants to stay there. Basically, they all go out to work. There are only some lazy people and old people who can't walk in the village. They rely on two broken boats and eat and drink by the Yellow River every day. This is not the old society now. As long as you are willing to work, you will hear that no one is hungry? But the people in that village are often like this. In winter, they often have no food to eat. Those who have relatives outside will go to their relatives to borrow. Those who have no relatives outside will simply come out in groups to beg for food. It is a famous beggar village in our area. No one is willing to deal with them. It is unlikely that my brother-in-law will go there..."

Yan Shun muttered, "And I haven't heard that he knows anyone there. You know, my brother-in-law and his wife still make a living by farming. Going out to see things is at most a side job. People from all over the country have to come to him to ask about good and bad luck for weddings and funerals. He knows a lot of people, but not Xia Village. There is no reason for him to go to Xia Village. It is a poor village and can't give much. If he doesn't serve well, there will be a lot of trouble. On the contrary, he often goes to Dou Village and Xinmiao. These two villages are famous for rice grains. They live a good life and are not far from Xia Village..."

What he said made sense. Although Huang Lao Xie was a member of the Ma family, he pushed himself to the bottom of the stream. Now he is not a real person of the Xuanmen. In my opinion, he is at most a country magician, similar to a barefoot doctor. He has some skills, but not too much. He also does things in the same way as a country magician. He does not consider the cause and effect or the necessity when accepting things. The wealth of the other party is their first consideration. If the host is rich, they can naturally give more money and property afterwards. Apart from that, it depends on the human relationship. People from all over the country meet each other every day. There are always some human relationships that make it impossible for them to take care of their interests.

Xia Village has no human connection with Huang Lao Xie, and it is not profitable. According to this idea, it is really unlikely that Huang Lao Xie will go there.

I looked back and forth on the map. I didn't pay much attention to the villages that Yan Shun said Huang Lao Xie always went to. My eyes stayed on the dilapidated village of Xia Village. There was always a strange idea in my mind, prompting me to go to this village to take a look.

This is just an intuition, there is no reason to explain it.

Seeing that I didn't say anything, Yan Shun asked anxiously: "The dragon pond moss you just mentioned, isn't my brother-in-law's stomach full of that thing now?"

It seems that this kid has a good relationship with Huang Lao Xie on weekdays. Even though he was blown up by firecrackers and chased around the yard with a hammer for a long time, he was still very concerned about Huang Lao Xie's safety after calming down. He was upset by Xiao Zhi's words of death. He was also confused by what we discussed just now. Instead, Wushuang's story about the ferryman caught his attention. Dragon pond moss enters the stomach and stimulated by gastric acid, it will continue to breed green moss, which will continue to grow wildly and bloat people to death.

None of us responded. Yan Shun carefully looked at our faces and gradually realized that he had asked a nonsense question. Dragon pond moss was sprayed out of the buttocks, so what was going on in the stomach? He lowered his head and smiled bitterly twice, then whispered: "Is this my brother-in-law's fate? There is no way he can escape this time?"

"It's hard to say!"

Wushuang said: "You can see that this kind of dragon pond moss is like bacteria. It is invisible to the naked eye and is difficult to clean. My father did some research in the past, and the results were not optimistic. Cleaning the stomach and intestines can't deal with it completely. As long as there is a little bit left, it will soon multiply into a large area. Because it hides in the abdominal cavity, it can't be handled in a particularly domineering way. If it is not handled properly, the dragon pond moss will not be dealt with, but a good life will be lost in vain. This is all uncertain. So, instead of thinking about eradicating it, it is better to drink half a catty of soda water every day to prevent the dragon pond moss from growing. If it can't grow, it will not be a big deal to the body. If you keep it up every day, you can still die of old age. Just don't think about dying beautifully. The dead can't drink soda water. The dragon pond moss will continue to grow in his body, and finally... Bang! ! Do you understand? The corpse will be stretched to explode..."

Seeing Yan Shun's pale face, I could only withdraw my gaze from the map and said with a smile: "You don't have to worry too much. Fate is not something that mortals can guess. The so-called fate is unpredictable. If a person's life is really cut off by someone else's words, then no one will live, there is no hope!

The most urgent thing is to find the thing that harmed your brother-in-law as soon as possible. This thing doesn't follow the rules. After a long time, maybe it's not just your brother-in-law who will be harmed, but your whole family will suffer. We can't see the tricks it used on your brother-in-law, but there is a universal truth that the person who tied the bell must untie it. Only by dealing with this thing can your whole family be truly at peace.

As for the dragon pond moss, although it is treacherous, at least there is a glimmer of hope. If you get involved in such a thing, it's good to be able to survive. Thinking too much is a sin!"

Yan Shun seemed to have figured it out. He sighed, brought some hot water, and went to the house to take care of Huang Lao Xie.

We don't know whether he gave Huang Lao Xie soda water, and we didn't go to see it. If my master hadn't said so beforehand, I wouldn't have accepted it at all. It's not worth it to run into the house at this time and be fooled by a madman.

Anyway, Lao Bai couldn't stay calm. He hurriedly ran out and brought back a dozen sodas from the nearby store. He didn't go into the house, but squatted at the door under the bright red sun, drinking shirtless and "gulp gulp" non-stop.

When he was unlucky, it was often the happiest time for Brother Yaozi. He squatted beside Lao Bai with a smile and asked Lao Bai, could it be that he was not only hit in the face, but also in his mouth?

The old white man's face darkened, and he said angrily that no one could stop it if it really got into his mouth. He must chop Huang Lao Xie with a kitchen knife today. Drink some soda water to prevent it before it happens...

In the afternoon, Yan Po, who had been hiding, finally came back exhausted. Her face was red from the scorching sun. She rushed into the house and said in a hurry: "Finally, there is some news. The old couple of the Wu family who sell tofu at the entrance of the village saw my husband that day and said that he went directly to the west."

I gestured on the map. Xia Village is in the west!

But there are four or five villages in the west, so this news is not accurate enough.

Yan Shun had just helped Huang Lao Xie to sleep, and when he heard the noise, he came out of the house and said, "Sister, several masters have already made discoveries. What you said is just to let them confirm some things. It is not very helpful. Saving people is like putting out a fire. We can't let several masters go to those villages one by one to ask, right? That will delay a lot of things!!"

At this point, he told the whole story of what happened when Yan Po left!

After hearing this, Granny Yan slapped her thigh and said angrily, "You little brat, you don't know the reason, you're talking nonsense. Your brother-in-law doesn't know anyone in Xia Village, but his acquaintances do! Fatty Wang in Xinmiao has a distant relative in Xia Village who is a poor family!!"

Yan Shun was surprised and said, "Is it the Fatty Wang who secretly hunted and sold furs in the mountains in his early years, and later went to the Salt Lake to make a fortune by doing tourism?"

"That Fatty Wang, he is a local rich man, who comes to your brother-in-law every time he has nothing to do and asks him to change his luck. He is generous with money and things, and has a very good relationship with your brother-in-law!!"

Granny Yan said, "About two months ago, this Fatty Wang suddenly called your brother-in-law in the middle of the night. He mumbled something, but I heard one sentence clearly. He said that his family lived in the run-down house in Xia Village. Your brother-in-law couldn't sleep all night after answering the phone, but I could see that he didn't hide anything on his mind. He was just happy and excited all night. He got up the next day and hurried to Xia Village. He stayed there for two days before returning!"

This incident happened a while after Huang Lao Xie's accident. In addition, Huang Lao Xie returned safely, so Granny Yan didn't think too much about it. If Xia Village hadn't been mentioned, she probably wouldn't have thought of this kind of thing.

Since I was involved, I certainly would not let him go, and hurriedly asked: "Do you have the contact information of this Fatty Wang? Call him and ask what he said to Huang Lao Xie at that time!!"

Seeing my solemn expression, Granny Yan did not dare to delay for a moment, and immediately took out her mobile phone and dialed a number. In order for us to hear clearly, she put the phone directly on the table.

Not long after, the call was connected, and a rough male voice came from the phone. He was very warm when talking to Granny Yan, calling her sister-in-law affectionately.

Granny Yan looked at me carefully, and when she saw me nod, she immediately asked about the phone call two months ago, but she did not mention the matter of Huang Lao Xie.

Unexpectedly, the man fell silent after hearing this, and after a long while he said: "Sister-in-law, don't ask about this matter, right? Brother Huang didn't let me tell you!"

"What's wrong with saying it!!"

Grandma Yan was a little angry, and said angrily: "Brother, if you still recognize me as your sister-in-law, tell me immediately, otherwise you will never enter our house again..."

Fatty Wang didn't know what he was thinking, and smiled bitterly: "Oh, sister-in-law, you are embarrassing me, Fatty Wang. I whispered to him on the phone, not to introduce him to some questionable woman, it's really... How should I put it, haven't you always wanted a child? Brother Huang entrusted me with this!"

What is a pig teammate? This is it!

No one asked about that, but he pulled it to the questionable woman. It is clear that the two of them have done this before.

Seeing that Granny Yan's face was already livid, but perhaps thinking of her crazy husband, all her anger disappeared, she sighed and asked, "What did he ask you to do? I heard you were discussing Xiacun."

"It's nothing, Brother Huang just asked me to find a medicinal herb."

Fatty Wang said, "I forgot what it was called, but I remember Brother Huang told me that this thing usually appears in the well. It looks like the fire Ganoderma, red, but it also has ears on it, no more, no less, a total of nine. My dear sister-in-law, have you ever heard of Ganoderma with ears in the world? I muttered at the time that this thing must be a magical object. We are farmers in the countryside, we know a few people, and we have a little money. It's not our turn to get our hands on such a magical object. Unexpectedly, I really found it. It was my relative in the Xia family who found such a thing. He thought I had a lot of connections and wanted me to sell it to him. I immediately thought of Brother Huang, so I told him. This is what happened..." Before he finished speaking, Lao Bai shouted, "Nine-ear mushroom! That's the nine-ear mushroom!!" "Yes, yes, that's the name..." Fatty Wang responded twice immediately, then came to his senses and yelled on the phone: "Hey, who the hell are you? What are you yelling about here!"

"I'm your grandpa!!"

Lao Bai picked up the phone and cursed, not giving the other party a chance to curse back, and hung up directly, threw the phone aside, looked at me in a daze and said: "I think I know why this grandson wrote a white word on the wall in the middle of the night, because I was the one who told him about the Nine-Spike Mushroom!!"
