Chapter 27 The Old Blind Man Was Killed
As expected, the old blind man fumbled in his bag and took out a bunch of things, threw them into the water, and immediately spread out in an "S" curve and swam towards us. Under the light, Lin Yuxi and I saw clearly that it was a black-browed pit viper!
The two old bastards had been prepared to kill me after I took out the treasure from the demon corpse. But they didn't find the opportunity at that time. Now that they are out of danger, they hurriedly released the poisonous snake. I was terrified and angry. We are your children who were raised since we were young. How could you be so cruel to kill us? If you are afraid that the news of getting the treasure will spread, you can coax us and we will never tell anyone.
Why did they have to kill us? Did they make this decision the moment they adopted us?
The old blind man and the old woman fled in a hurry after releasing the snake, and I had given up all hope. Even if I escaped the poisonous snake, I was afraid that I would not be able to escape their second attack. But Lin Yuxi did not give up and went forward to face the poisonous snake. I smiled bitterly behind her, thinking that death was only a matter of time. If she died first, I would die too, so I stopped and did not move at all.
There were five black-browed vipers in total. When they saw someone approaching, they all swam over with their tails swinging. Lin Yuxi subconsciously raised her left arm to block, and was bitten by five snakes one after another. She was a little panicked, and waved her arms vigorously in the water, trying to shake them off, but these little beasts would not let go. After a few more rounds, the five snakes suddenly let go, and their bodies stiffened, slowly sinking down, as if they were dead!
I couldn't help but feel particularly puzzled. Is Lin Yuxi more poisonous than a venomous snake now? I thought about it and understood the key. She was poisoned by corpse poison. This poison is far more powerful than that of the black-browed viper. They didn't bite Lin Yuxi to death, but were poisoned to death by the corpse poison in her body.
Lin Yuxi was also very curious. She tilted her head and thought for a moment but couldn't figure it out. She turned back and waved at me depressedly. I swam over, and she held my hand again and swam downstream. This underground river is very short. Not far ahead, there is a turn, and the space is high and wide. The water level is lower than the top of the cave. We came out to breathe a few breaths.
Taking advantage of this time, Lin Yuxi raised her hand and looked at it. There were several tooth marks on the dark half of her arm. She didn't feel anything unusual. It was estimated that the snake venom was neutralized by the corpse poison. After we took a deep breath, we sank into the water, turned around, and left the mountain belly, converging into the river outside the mountain.
We didn't dare to go ashore, fearing that the two old bastards were still guarding us, so we swam downstream for a long time, and finally came ashore when we couldn't hold it anymore. Now the sky was slightly bright, and we stayed in the ancient tomb for a whole night. After going ashore, we couldn't see the old blind man and Lei Xueting, and we didn't dare to go home, but we were naked, what should we do if we met someone after dawn?
Sitting in a small forest, I was worrying. Lin Yuxi swayed a few times and fainted. I pushed her a few times in surprise, but she didn't respond at all. I was scared. I hurriedly reached under her nose to feel it. She was still breathing, so I was relieved. I turned on the flashlight and shone it on her left arm. The black air had already spread to her armpit. It seemed that the corpse poison had taken effect. If I didn't get rid of the poison quickly, my life would be in danger.
After thinking it over, I decided to go home. There was nothing in the wilderness, and it was impossible to expel the poison. I would go home and fight the old blind man. I didn't believe I couldn't kill him!
After making up my mind, I carried Lin Yuxi on my shoulders and sneaked back home in the darkness before dawn. Our family lives on the hillside, quite far from the village, so no one would see us even in broad daylight. After returning home, I found it quiet and there was a suffocating atmosphere. My right eye also twitched. People often say that if the left eye twitches, it means good fortune and the right eye twitches, it means disaster. My heart began to beat fast. The old blind man must be hiding in the dark . I have to be careful.
First, I put Lin Yuxi under the earth wall, then crouched and slid along the wall to the opposite corner, which was the toilet. I went into the toilet and waited for a while, but there was no movement, so I came out and picked up a lump of earth from the ground and threw it hard at the door. The sound of "click" was quite clear in the night, and I waited for a while but still didn't see the old blind man come out. I thought to myself that I couldn't waste any more time, and whether I lived or died depended on my luck.
The darkest time before dawn was when I stretched out my hand and couldn't see my face. I was barefoot and didn't make any sound, so the old blind man and Lei Xueting might not be able to see me. So I bravely walked to the door, squatted down and slowly pushed the door open. If they attacked, they wouldn't think I was squatting on the ground. After they attacked, my chance would come. But after I opened the door, it was still quiet. I took a deep breath and listened, but I couldn't hear a single sound.
This is a bit strange. Did they not go home and just run away with the baby? This is a possibility. Thinking of this, he became a little braver and slowly crawled into the house using his hands and feet. He pressed his palm on the ground and found some wet water stains. He was shocked. The old blind man must be at home!
I immediately stopped crawling and listened in the darkness, but the deathly silence could drive me crazy. Just as I was getting upset, I suddenly smelled blood. I stretched my nose forward and sniffed. The blood was not far ahead. Another thought came to my mind: the two old bastards probably killed each other for the treasure, and one of them was killed, and the other ran away in a panic? This was also possible. I bravely crawled forward two steps and bumped into a furry thing. I was so scared that I quickly turned on the flashlight. If I didn't turn it on, I would probably go crazy.
After turning on the flashlight, I suddenly saw the old blind man lying on the ground with his head under my face. The hairy thing that touched me just now was the back of his head!
It was too late to run, so I decided to strike first. I raised my flashlight and was about to hit him on the head. Suddenly, I saw his blind eyes wide open, staring at me, but his expression was stiff and he had no anger at all. I stopped my hand and tremblingly stretched out my left hand to test under his nose. He was not breathing. I mustered up the courage to touch his face. It was cold. Obviously, he had died long ago.
I breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that the old blind man was not as ruthless as the old woman, and I finally fell into her hands. I relaxed my whole body, supported myself with my hands, and leaned back to take a few deep breaths. But my wrist suddenly tightened, and I was almost scared to death. I hurriedly shook off the hand and turned around to shine the flashlight.
Suddenly, a bloody female ghost with long hair covering her face appeared in front of me. She sat on the ground with her hands raised, also covered in blood. My heart was beating wildly, thinking to myself, what the hell is this uncle of mine, is it Xiaoqing again?
"Save...save...me..." The female ghost said these three words intermittently, then fell to the ground with a thud and lay motionless.
