Yellow River Craftsman

Chapter 177 Corpse Poison
"Tuoba Gu, what should we do then? You must have a way to save her, right? You must have a way!" Lao Yang tightly grasped my shoulder, his knuckles turned white due to excessive force.

I sighed, although I often bicker with this dead girl, I can't bear to watch her turn into a zombie with my own eyes.

I gritted my teeth, turned around and said to the old bird: "Old bird, quickly look for the boat and see if there is any glutinous rice left. If I can find the glutinous rice, maybe I can save her life!"

"Old bird, what the hell are you still doing? Find glutinous rice!" Lao Yang eagerly called out to Lao Niao. As the leader of the serious crime team, Lao Yang naturally didn't want his subordinates to have accidents.

Cao Yi twitched his cheeks, and said softly, "Team Leader Yang, please do one thing!"

Lao Yang said: "What do you mean please? It's the same as the last words. If you have something to say, just say it!"

Cao Yi bit his lip: "If...if you can't save me, I hope you can shoot me to death, I...I don't want to become a monster like Zhou Wei...I don't want to become that monster... "

"Nonsense! You will not become a monster! You will never become a monster!" Lao Yang said hoarsely.

"I found it, and there is still a small bag. I don't know if it is enough!" The old bird happily handed me the small bag of glutinous rice he found.

"Thank God!" I took the small bag of glutinous rice, although it was a little small, but as long as the corpse poison had not invaded Cao Yi's body, he could still be saved.

I grabbed a handful of glutinous rice from the bag and held it in the palm of my hand. There was still half a bag left. I asked the old bird to fill the bag with some water and mix the remaining glutinous rice into a paste. The old bird nodded and ran to the stern. Filled with water.

"Be patient, it might hurt a little!" I glanced at Cao Yi, opened my palm, and pressed the glutinous rice in my palm onto Cao Yi's injured ankle.

A strange thing happened. When the glutinous rice was pressed on Cao Yi's ankle, there was a sizzling sound, and at the same time, there were wisps of foul-smelling smoke. The original snow-white glutinous rice seemed to be soaked in black blood. gradually turned black.

"Ah——" Cao Yi only yelled, this little woman was still very stubborn, she kept biting her lips, even though her lips were bleeding, she didn't yell anymore.

I didn't let go until the white glutinous rice turned black.I saw that the wound on Cao Yi's ankle no longer bleeds black blood, and the black wound showed signs of improvement, and even her face gradually recovered some blood.

At this time, the old bird came over with a small half bag of mixed glutinous rice paste and handed it to me.

I spread the glutinous rice paste evenly on Cao Yi's wound, and then told her not to move around, let alone wash the wound, until the glutinous rice paste turned completely black before washing it off.

When I was helping her with the wound, I accidentally touched her foot, Cao Yi's delicate body trembled like an electric shock, her face was full of shyness, and she was embarrassed to look at me.

"Tuoba Gu, is this done?" The old bird asked me suspiciously.

"It's almost there! As long as the corpse poison doesn't invade her internal organs, the wound should heal when I wake up tomorrow morning!" I said.

"Then what if the corpse poison invades the internal organs?" the old bird asked worriedly.

I shrugged my shoulders: "Then Da Luo can't be saved, you have to wait to die or become a zombie!"

Speaking of this, I glanced at Cao Yi, smiled slightly, and deliberately teased her: "To be honest, if you really become a zombie like this, you can be regarded as a beautiful zombie. Maybe there are many thousand-year-old zongzi who like it." And you!"

"Get out!" Cao Yi blushed and roared at me with teeth and claws.

We docked the boat on the shore and found a small country hotel to settle down.

Cao Yi was frightened, and fell asleep soon after a simple wash.

Lao Niao bought some cooked food and came back. I, Lao Yang and Lao Niao sat around and drank under the dim light bulb.

Lao Yang was a little depressed. Zhou Wei had turned into a zombie. It was impossible for me not to kill him, but after killing him, it would be impossible to take his body back for an autopsy, so we couldn’t find Zhou Wei’s real cause of death. .For Lao Yang, he saw some hope of solving the case, but now the whole case has come to an impasse. He has been busy all day without making any progress, and almost cost Cao Yi his life.

Lao Yang frowned tightly, a little helpless, not knowing what to do next.

Seeing Lao Yang like this, I apologized to him: "I finally found Zhou Wei's body, but I dismembered him. I'm really sorry! But you also know that Zhou Wei is no longer a dead body." , but an aggressive zombie, if I don't kill him, everyone will be in danger!"

"I don't mean to blame you!" Lao Yang said, "If you hadn't rescued us in time, the three of us would have turned into zombies a long time ago. How could we still sit here drinking and eating? I'm just wondering why Zhou Wei Did it turn into a dead body for no reason?"

"This is what I'm thinking about too!" I said to Lao Yang: "Actually, zombies are divided into levels. The lowest level is the green one, and the second level is the white one. The green ones reacted." Slow, sluggish, and weak attack power, it is easier to deal with. Bai *** moves quickly and has strong attack power. Logically speaking, Zhou Wei died in just a few days, even if there is a corpse change, it can only be a change. How could a low-level green slut suddenly turn into a dead body? It's a bit surprising that it even broke through the confinement of the corpse-fixing talisman!"

"Then what do you think is going on?" Lao Yang asked me.

I held my chin and thought about it, and my expression gradually became serious: "There is only one reason for this situation. Zhou Wei has practiced before. He has undergone a corpse change long ago and has become a green ****. Today is his second corpse change. , evolved from green to white!"

"Zhou Wei has practiced? What does this mean?" Lao Yang looked at me puzzled.

I explained to him: "To be precise, it was not Zhou Wei who had practiced, but Zhou Wei's corpse. There are usually two methods of corpse cultivation. One is that the corpse cultivates itself by absorbing the aura of heaven and earth and the essence of the sun and the moon. The process of this kind of evolution and upgrading is very slow, and it is possible to practice evolution only in a specific Feng Shui environment. Many dead bodies have gone through thousands of years, but they are still only the lowest level of green hair. Another way of cultivation is artificial cultivation. It’s because someone helped the dead body practice, commonly known as ‘refining the corpse’, or ‘raising the corpse’! Zhou Wei was able to evolve into a white **** in such a short period of time, I can be sure that he evolved by refining the corpse!”

Lao Yang's face changed, as if he understood something: "You mean, someone is using these dead people to raise corpses?"

I nodded: "I don't dare to jump to conclusions, but this possibility is very high. I even doubt that the corpse keeper found Zhou Wei's corpse by accident. It is very likely that he deliberately kept the corpse. Maybe the other eight people who disappeared , has now become a zombie!"

"My day!" The old bird clenched his fists tightly, and a fierce light burst out from his pupils: "Who is so insane, this murderer had better not fall into my hands, otherwise I will definitely make his life worse than death!" !"

Lao Yang rubbed his temples vigorously, and said a little tiredly: "According to what you said, what we are facing this time is not an ordinary murderer!"

I nodded: "Yes! What we are facing is definitely not a human being, but an evil corpse breeder! I don't know where he raises the corpse, and I don't know what his purpose is for raising the corpse. If possible , Tomorrow we will go upstream along the river and see if we can find anything!"

Lao Yang sighed: "At present, it seems that this is the only way to go, Tuobagu, thank you again this time. If you hadn't stepped in, we would not have been able to uncover the mystery hidden under the disappearance case!"

I waved my hand with a firm expression on my face: "You don't need to thank me, as a Yellow River corpse collector, guarding the Yellow River is my duty and responsibility, and I will never allow these ugly and evil things to happen on the Yellow River Ancient Road! "

As soon as I woke up the next morning, I heard Cao Yi yelling: "Hey, Lao Yang, do you have anything to eat? I'm so hungry!"

Lao Yang is very easy-going, and usually doesn't like everyone calling him Team Leader Yang, so when he is not handling cases, the team members call him Lao Yang in private, which makes him seem very friendly.

"Are you awake?" I came to Cao Yi's bedside and heard that she was so full of energy, it seemed that she should be fine.

Cao Yi nodded. For the first time, he didn't argue with me. Instead, he said shyly, "Thank you!"

"Put your feet out and have a look!" I still had to go over her wounds to make sure she was safe.

"Don't you want it? It's all right!" Cao Yi's little face flushed slightly.

"If you tell you to stick it out, you can stick it out. Aren't you worried that Xiaogu will eat your tofu?" Lao Yang yawned and said with a smile.

I don't know if Cao Yi was caught by what Lao Yang said, his face turned red like a monkey's butt, he shyly stretched out his calf, and covered his face and dared not look at me.

I smiled in my heart, don't look at Cao Yi, a dead girl who looks like a woman on the surface, it turns out that she is so conservative in her heart, her calves will blush when people look at her, it's really cute.

I held Cao Yi's foot and took a closer look. The glutinous rice paste on the wound had completely turned black and hardened, like a scar. Wound.Well, the black blood in the wound has been completely removed by the glutinous rice, and the glutinous rice has a miraculous effect on restraining corpse poison. Yesterday there were five bloody holes, but this morning it has almost healed, and five faint marks can still be seen. Some are slightly red.

I nodded: "Oh! Yes, you are recovering very well! Fortunately, the corpse poison was removed in time, and the corpse poison did not invade your internal organs. You have saved your life!"

Hearing what I said, Lao Yang and Lao Niao looked at each other, and they both heaved a sigh of relief.

"But..." I paused and changed the topic.

Lao Yang and Lao Niao immediately became nervous, and shouted: "But what?"

Cao Yi was also taken aback, put down his hands, and opened his frightened eyes: "Don't scare me!"

"But your feet are very smelly, I suggest you get up and wash your feet first!" I laughed.

"Go to hell!" Cao Yi blushed and kicked me.

I dodged flexibly: "I'm telling the truth, if you don't believe me, smell it yourself, it smells like rotten eggs!"

"Ah?! Let's vomit for a while!" Lao Yang and Lao Niao covered their mouths. What they ate in the morning were tea eggs.
