At this time, Dong Shu's body was covered in blood. The corpse lifted Dong Shu and slammed him to the ground.
I hastily pulled my leg up and rushed forward, this corpse is now facing away from me, I stretched out my left hand, exerting force to strangle his neck from behind, then holding the Bagua mirror, I slapped it onto his face.
The corpse struggled painfully, I tightly restrained him, not daring to be careless at all. Soon a scorched smell spread across his face, just like the smell of roasted meat.
Suddenly, the corpse's two hands reached back and grabbed my shoulders. It shook me violently and I was thrown out, landing beside Uncle Dong.
"What's going on?" Dong Shu anxiously said to me: "Quickly put it away!"
The face of this corpse is no longer visible, and the entire body is charred black, with only two eyeballs and a mouth exposed.
This guy is much more formidable than I expected, watching that corpse slowly walking towards us, I have no way to deal with it at all, my whole body hurts badly.
A figure suddenly jumped out of the grave, and it was actually Liu Ge. This Liu Ge rushed up and tightly hugged the corpse, took out the bottle of black dog blood that I gave him at the beginning, and poured it down on the corpse's head.
"Boss, hurry up!" Liu Ge hugged the corpse tightly after being splashed and shouted loudly.
"Run!" I grabbed the stunned Dong Shu beside me and ran up the mountain, at this time the road down the mountain was blocked by that corpse, unable to go down.
Behind him was another miserable cry from Liu Ge.
Honestly, I really admire Liu Ge's bravery. Half of his neck meat was bitten off, but he still rushed up to hug that corpse and let us escape.
We ran further and further away, and Liu Ge's voice behind us also gradually disappeared.
The night in the mountain was very cold, especially since both I and Dong Shu were injured, we had been running wildly for over twenty minutes.
Normally I can't even run for 20 minutes, let alone running up a mountain, I'm exhausted after just two or three minutes.
"Don't stop, run for another ten minutes and we'll reach a small mountain village." Dong Shu saw that I was getting tired, grabbed my hand and pulled me to keep running.
"What are we going to do in that small mountain village? Can't we just hurry down the mountain?" I'm so tired, my heart feels like it's about to jump out.
"There's no medicine in the car, and if I don't stop this bleeding now, it'll be troublesome." Dong Shu said breathlessly: "There are herbal medicines in the mountain village, go get some to stop my bleeding first."
Dong Shu's injury was indeed very serious. At first, we were jogging slowly, and then the two of us walked forward step by step. I was already exhausted.
Behind me was also a vast expanse of blackness. I knew that the corpse might have caught up with me, and at any moment it would pounce out from the surrounding bushes.
My nerves were stretched taut all the way, my right hand also gripped the Thunderbolt Wooden Sword tightly, and my ears listened carefully to the movements around me. As soon as that corpse came over, I would fight it to the death.
We walked for over twenty minutes before we saw a small village in the distance.
This small village is located in a very flat area, with only about twenty houses, all made of mud, looking similar to the impoverished mountainous areas often seen on TV.
"There are very few people here who go out of the mountain, although it's close to Chengdu city, but not many people in Chengdu know that there is a village here." Dong Shu explained beside him.
Dong Shu took me to a house in the middle of the village and knocked on the wooden door, whereupon the lights inside came on.
The wooden door creaked open and an old man in his seventies looked at us with a curious expression, asking: "May I ask what brings you here?"
"Village chief, it's me, Xiao Dongzi. Just now when I brought my friend to pay respects to our ancestors in the mountain, we encountered a wild beast and I got injured. Can I come in and have you bandage my wound?" Dong Shu asked with a tone of respect towards the village chief.
The village chief looked closely with wide eyes and said with a smile: "It's actually Little Dong, aren't you an official outside? Hurry up and come in."
The village went in first while talking.
I hastily followed him in with Dong Shu.
The house is quite big, but very old and shabby. The ground is all uneven mud. There's only one small wooden table in the house, and a chair that looks pretty worn out. There's nothing else left.
The village head walked into a bedroom-like place and seemed to go in to fetch some herbs.
"Alas, poor Little Liu is done for, I've brought this upon him." Dong Shu's face also showed a look of regret: "If only I had known to bring a whole platoon over, we still wouldn't have been able to deal with that monster?"
"There's nothing to know about it, let's just go back and declare Liu a martyr, and compensate his family a bit more, that way you can make up for it a little." Just as I finished speaking, the village elder took out a large handful of purple herbs from inside and walked over to hand them to Dong Shu: "This is Zi Zhu Cao, it's used to stop bleeding."
"Thank you, Village Chief. You should get some rest early, I can handle it myself." Dong Shu stood up and took over the purple pearl grass, politely saying to the village chief.
The village head nodded, put the oil lamp on the ground, and pointed to a room next to his bedroom: "That was my old partner's room before. You can rest there later."
After finishing speaking, he bowed his back and walked back to his own room to rest.
"Can this grass stop bleeding?" I looked at Dong Shu's hand with that bunch of strange grass and asked.
Dong Shu plucked a leaf from the grass, put it in his mouth and chewed it up, spat it onto his hand, then applied it to the wound.
"This herb is what mountain people usually use to stop bleeding when they're injured, and it's very effective." Dong Shu continued to chew.
"Wait a minute." I frowned at Dong Shu's wound, thinking back to when I was caught by the corpse evil at the Hurried Corpse Inn. Xing Feng said that I had been poisoned by the corpse poison. Dong Shu's wound looked even more severe than mine back then, could it be... corpse poison?
I don't have glutinous rice on hand now, just take out the cinnabar and hand it to Dong Shu: "Dong Shu, mix the cinnabar with this purple pearl grass and apply it to the wound."
Dong Shu hesitated for a moment, then took over the Zi Zhu Cao and mixed it with the Zi Zhu Cao. As soon as he touched his wound,
Suddenly sweat broke out on his forehead, and his eyes widened. After a moment, he panted heavily and asked me, "How can it be so painful?"
I looked down and saw that the purple beads I had applied to his wound had all turned black.
"There is indeed corpse poison on the wound, Uncle Dong. Endure it a bit and use cinnabar to eliminate the corpse poison. Otherwise, the corpse poison will attack the heart and be very serious." I frowned and said.
Rigor mortis is not like in the movies where people turn into zombies, but rather a toxin that can cause death by poisoning.
Dong Shu nodded and began cleaning his wounds with cinnabar.
Watching Uncle Dong cleaning his wound with a painful expression, I didn't want to watch anymore. The room was also quite stuffy, so I walked to the door and opened it.
The air in this mountain is really good, I took a deep breath, just about to go back to the house, suddenly I saw a figure walking slowly towards the village from afar.
The corpse is catching up!
Taking advantage of the moonlight, I saw that corpse sniffing its nose back and forth, as if looking for something.
