Chapter 1282: Disagreement with the Corpse Handler (Supplement)
Inside the wooden house.
A middle-aged woman stood by the bed, rubbing and washing with a piece of cloth in a wooden basin, and then wiped the boy's body with the cloth, trying to relieve the boy's fever.
"Mother, come on, I've got the doctor back."
The middle-aged man couldn't wait to say as soon as he entered the door.
"Really? Doctor Fang is here?!"
The middle-aged woman was surprised and happy, and quickly stopped what she was doing. But when she turned around and saw the young-looking Bai Shi, she was visibly stunned.
"This is Doctor Hua. Doctor Fang has gone away on a business trip."
Seeing this, the middle-aged man hurriedly explained.
Bai Shi nodded slightly in response, his eyes fell on Hu Xiaohu on the bed, his brows slightly furrowed.
"Doctor Hua, please save my little tiger."
Hu Dazhuang didn't care about his own image, and the couple almost knelt down to Bai Shi.
"Don't worry, I'll find out the cause of the child's illness first."
Bai Shi comforted the two with a gentle voice, and quickly walked to the bedside to put down the medicine box.
"Shh!"
Before the couple next to him could react, a silver needle appeared between Bai Shi's fingers.
"Doctor Hua, you..."
Under the yellowish kerosene lamp, the silver light was particularly eye-catching, and Hu Dazhuang was stunned.
Shouldn’t the normal procedure be to observe first and then take the pulse?
What does it mean when this person directly takes out the needle?
"what!"
Zhang suddenly let out a cry of surprise, covering her mouth with her hands, her eyes widened.
Then he saw the silver needle in Bai Shi's hand inserted straight into the center of Hu Xiaohu's eyebrows.
Bai Shi pinched the silver needle, turned it back and forth, and then pulled it out. A wisp of strange blue-black smoke floated out and disappeared in the blink of an eye.
As the blue-black smoke disappeared, Hu Xiaohu's breathing became noticeably slower and his body temperature began to drop.
"wake up."
Bai Shi used his internal energy to condense a drop of water from his fingertips and it fell between Hu Xiaohu's eyebrows.
The moment the water droplets touched Hu Xiaohu's skin, they completely merged into it.
Hu Dazhuang and Zhang watched all this without daring to breathe. This was beyond their comprehension.
"Mom...Mom, I'm so thirsty, I want to drink some water..."
Hu Xiaohu closed his eyes, pursed his dry lips a few times, and asked for water.
"Hey! Hey! Mommy's going to get you some water!"
Zhang was the first to come to her senses and hurried to get water for Hu Xiaohu.
"Doctor Hua, what on earth is going on?"
Hu Dazhuang was a hunter after all, and his eyesight was not bad. He saw the wisp of blue-black smoke clearly, and he spoke incoherently.
He had also been out there in his early years and had seen some strange things. He knew that this world was not simple, so he brought his family to this remote place to settle down as hunters, live an ordinary life, and stay away from those things.
"Come out and say it."
Bai Shi was silent for a moment, then spoke.
Normally speaking, the fewer causes and effects one comes into contact with during the mortal transformation, the smoother the journey will be.
But now that we have encountered it, how can we just sit back and do nothing?
Moreover, he didn't want to have dirty things hanging around when he was going through the tribulation.
The two came to the small yard outside the wooden house.
"Doctor Hua, I guess you have an extraordinary background..."
Hu Dazhuang was halfway through his words when Bai Shi raised his hand to interrupt him: "Please tell me the whole experience of you and your son going up the mountain and returning home, including what you encountered on the way."
"Okay, okay."
Hu Dazhuang nodded.
Trying hard to recall the entire process of going up the mountain, hunting pheasants, and returning home today.
Halfway through his speech, Hu Dazhuang suddenly thought of something: "Oh, right, Xiaohu ate two wild fruits in the mountains and brought a few back."
"The wild fruits were not big, so I brought back a few. Xiaohu said they were delicious, so his mother and I couldn't bear to eat them and thought of saving them for him."
As he said that, Hu Dazhuang returned to the wooden house and quickly took out the wild fruits.
"Doctor Hua."
Bai Shi took the fruit, glanced at it, and recognized what it was.
Corpse fruit.
It often grows in places with strong corpse qi. When ripe, the fruit is purple and emits a unique fragrance with an excellent taste. If eaten by mistake, the corpse qi contained in the fruit will enter the body.
It would be fine for ordinary warriors, even for ordinary adults, this amount of corpse qi would only make them seriously ill for a few days at most, and they would recover by getting more sun exposure. But Hu Xiaohu is a child and his resistance is not as good as that of adults, so his body became seriously hot under the influence of the corpse qi.
Fortunately, it happened in time and the corpse gas had not completely invaded Hu Xiaohu's brain, otherwise his life would be in danger.
After recognizing the corpse fruit, Bai Shi couldn't help but laugh in his heart.
I don’t know what sins I committed in my previous life, why I always get into conflicts with these guys who fiddle with corpses in this life.
The growth environment of corpse fruit requires rich corpse qi as nutrients, either a corpse-raising ground or a mass grave.
Maixiang Town is his hometown after all, and he is familiar with the surroundings. He doesn't remember any place like a mass grave, so the former is very likely to be the case.
A place for raising corpses, a place for raising corpses artificially.
According to Hu Dazhuang, the place where Hu Xiaohu picked corpse fruits was not very deep in the mountains.
The purpose of setting up a corpse-raising ground so close to Maixiang Town is self-evident.
Once the things in the corpse-raising ground mature and break out of the ground, they will need a large amount of fresh blood and flesh to replenish them. The people of Maixiang Town become its first choice.
What a vicious evil cultivator.
The timing and events are so coincidental that it can only be God's will.
This is how it is in this world.
Whether it is the hidden forces, old monsters, or those evil ways, they will pop up like mushrooms after rain.
The struggle between them ultimately affects ordinary people the most.
The former home may be reduced to ashes in an instant in the battle between two powerful men.
This is also the reason why Mr. Yi placed powerful people in the Divine Wandering Realm in various places to ensure local security while deterring some evil spirits.
At this stage, even a strong person who has just entered the Divine Wandering Realm is enough to pose a great deterrent to most forces.
But as time goes by, in this great world, new powerful people in the realm of divine wandering are bound to continue to emerge.
This is Mr. Yi’s conspiracy.
He accelerated the birth of new powerful people in the Divine Wandering Realm, but he also effectively prevented the possibility of many new powerful people in the Divine Wandering Realm causing chaos in Daqian through the secret realm.
At the same time, if Daqian encounters a strong enemy, some of their people can also help, which is mutually beneficial for both sides.
"When it's daybreak, take me to a place where I can pick these fruits."
Bai Shi thought for a long time before he spoke.
Instead of waiting for that thing to break out of the ground, it is better to solve it early and lure out the person behind it.
"Doctor Hua, is it the fruit that's causing the problem?"
Hu Dazhuang was stunned.
"Well, this fruit is called Corpse Fruit. It uses corpse qi as nutrients to grow. It often grows in places with dense corpse qi. When ripe, the fruit turns purple and emits a strange fragrance. It tastes delicious. It's okay if you eat a small amount by mistake, but if you eat too much, you will definitely die."
Bai Shi nodded and explained to the other party about the corpse fruit without hiding anything to prevent him from accidentally eating it again.
"Corpse, Corpse Fruit?"
When Hu Dazhuang heard the word "corpse qi", his face changed.
When talking about corpse qi, we can’t help but think of the corpse.
This corpse fruit grows in a place with a strong corpse aura, doesn't that mean there are a lot of corpses in that place? !
No wonder he felt inexplicably uncomfortable every time he passed by that damn place.
