Chapter 92: Fake Jade
The Jade Guanyin is indeed a treasure for exorcising evil spirits. It scared away the cruel and vicious blue-eyed fox. The dead woman is too cunning. She will not suffer a second time after being cheated once. However, it is afraid of the Jade Guanyin and should not dare to jump down the cave to trouble us again in the short term. I ran to Uncle Mi and saw that his face, which used to be bronze, was now frighteningly white. Lying in a pool of blood, he was still conscious, clenching his teeth, and his whole body was soaked with sweat.
I called Lin Yuxi and Xiaopang over. Lin Yuxi knew a little about stopping bleeding, so she took out a nylon rope from her bag and tied it tightly around his armpit. We also prepared a medical kit when we came here today, and took out hemostatic drugs and bandages to stop the bleeding temporarily.
"He won't last long like this. He must be sent to the hospital as soon as possible." Lin Yuxi said with a frown.
Xiaopang said with a bitter face: "The vixen is blocking the cave entrance, how can we get her to the hospital?"
I looked up at the dark hole above, and could faintly hear the panting of the blue-eyed fox. I thought to myself that this woman would never leave unless she killed all of us tonight. It would be harder than climbing to the sky to send Uncle Mi to the hospital. Just as I was worrying, I looked down and saw the incomplete broken arm at my feet, and immediately thought of a solution.
So he reached out and pulled the backpack off Xiao Pang's body, unzipped it, and scolded him loudly: "You bastard, why did you steal the chickens raised by the villagers in the village? Do you know that these are the life-saving money that the villagers use to exchange for money to support their children's schooling, medical treatment and medicine?"
Xiao Pang was stunned by the scolding and scratched his head: "I...didn't steal it. This is from..."
"Bullshit! Don't I know who you are? You always like to steal things. It would be fine if you stole things from Mr. Lu and Director Zhang's homes, but this is the apple of the folks' eyes!" I cursed and winked at him, then took out a big rooster from my bag, untied the tape wrapped around its mouth, and untied the ropes that tied its legs.
The rooster immediately let out a startled "cluck".
Although Xiao Pang didn't understand what I meant at first, he was quite smart and knew that I had a deeper meaning. He scratched his head and said, "It's just a chicken, why are you so angry with me?"
I grabbed the chicken by the wings and threw it upwards, just out of the hole, and the big rooster spread its wings and flew to the side. I pretended to be very angry and cursed: "You bastard, you still don't accept it, right?"
As soon as the voice fell, the rooster screamed, and a piece of chicken feathers fell from the hole, with a few drops of blood. It was obviously caught and eaten alive by the blue-eyed fox. This woman drove Lao Zongzi for half the night, and she was exhausted. Just now, she didn't care about killing Uncle Mi and was eager to gnaw on the broken arm, which means it was starving. The two roosters injected with dog blood were originally prepared for it, but it has too many ghosts. If I throw it rashly, it may not eat it. That's why I pretended to scold Xiaopang for stealing chickens to make it lose its guard.
The effects of splashing dog blood on the body and ingesting it are completely different, just like splashing sulfuric acid on the face will only cause ulceration but won't kill you, but if you ingest it, won't it burn your intestines? However, the dog blood injected into the chicken body is not much, and some of it may be absorbed by the rooster, so there will be little left in the stomach of the blue-eyed fox. It will definitely not take effect too quickly, so we have to wait for a while to see the effect.
The cellar was calm at this moment, but Lu Jingyue, Director Zhang and Bian Hongming were still in shock. The three of them huddled in the innermost corner, not daring to even fart.
Lin Yuxi and Xiaopang listened to the "crunch, crunch" sound of chicken bones being chewed at the entrance of the cave, and gave me a thumbs up. I was not in a proud mood at the moment, and asked Xiaopang to help me slowly support Uncle Mi, who was barely breathing, to sit up against the wall. The wound on the old man's broken arm was still oozing blood from the bandage.
After Uncle Mi sat up, he felt a little better. He looked at the old zongzi on the ground next to him and sighed, "Uncle Lu was a good person all his life. Who would have thought that he would become like this after his death? Back then, Yuchun and I helped him dig the cellar and build the house. The mummy was Uncle Lu's father..."
Hearing this, Lu Jingyue shouted, "What? The mummy in the wooden box is my great-grandfather?"
The three of us were also quite surprised. Didn’t Lu Jingyue say that the old man’s entire family died and he fled to the north alone? When did another old man appear?
Uncle Mi nodded slightly, leaning his head against the wall, and said weakly: "There are many things your grandmother didn't tell you the truth. In fact, when your grandfather came to Xiadian Village, he carried your grandfather's body. At that time, Yuchun and I were already fifteen or sixteen years old. Seeing that your grandfather was a good man, we helped him work, digging cellars and repairing houses. After the repairs, we found a few pieces of wood to put together a box and put your grandfather's body inside. Your grandfather asked Yuchun and me not to tell anyone, so I haven't told anyone about this for decades."
"Who is Yuchun?" Lu Jingyue asked doubtfully.
Uncle Mi frowned and said, "He and I are of the same age. He must be sixty-nine this year, right? Your grandfather was eleven years older than us, but we were as close as brothers. Later, I learned that your grandfather knew some magic, so I begged him to teach us. He taught us secretly, but I was stupid and didn't learn much. I have forgotten everything now. Yuchun studied very hard. He was also a smart person and often went to your grandfather privately to learn more skills.
Later, for unknown reasons, he and his girlfriend Xiao Meng disappeared together, and they were never seen again. Until a year ago, a man named Chen Dahong came to the village. I think he looks like Yuchun, but he just doesn't admit it. He just moved away the day before yesterday, and he saw Xiao Meng again today. Don't you think it's strange?" The old man's pale face was full of confusion.
Lu Jingyue was not interested in these past events, but we were shocked when we heard them. Uncle Mi meant that Chen Dahong was originally from Xiadian Village, and this blue-eyed fox was his girlfriend back then. I suddenly caught something in my mind and hurriedly asked Uncle Mi, when did Yuchun disappear?
Uncle Mi thought for a long time and said that it seemed that he and Xiao Meng disappeared on the night when Grandpa Lu Jingyue died. They were not seen at the funeral of Grandpa Lu, and they never appeared in Xiadian Village again after that.
After listening to it, I lowered my head and thought for a moment, then ran to Lao Zongzi, squatted down, and took out a piece of green jade broken in half from each of the left and right pockets of his ragged and sticky shirt. I hooked my finger at Lin Yuxi to call her over, and then wiped the corpse fluid off the jade pendant with a tissue.
"Hey, Master Ding, don't just rummage through my grandfather's things!" Lu Jingyue shouted angrily.
I said calmly, "These two pieces can solve many mysteries. I will return them after reading them."
Lin Yuxi ran over, pinched her nose and asked, "What are you doing?"
"Look, is this real jade?"
Lin Yuxi did not take it directly with her hands. She put a piece of tissue on it and held it between her fingers. She shone a flashlight on it and said at a glance, "This is a broken jade Guanyin, but it's not jade, it's made of glass."
