The Little Witch (2)

flushed slightly. Her attitude towards me softened considerably. She walked over and whispered, "Really""Why would I lie to you!""What did they say" my sister asked, her face flushed."...hehe.""Stop p...I could clearly see the writhing thing in his palm, a jet-black leech.

"Oh!! You aren't going to use this to remove the poison, are you!"

"...Yes, this is a specially raised vampire leech."

That pure black leech coiled its body and then jumped and writhed, making me feel sick to my stomach. I covered my mouth and said, "This thing is so disgusting! Can we change methods... This...this is going on my body, right"

"Otherwise what I'll grill it for you to eat" Long Xiao glared at me, "As long as it can save your life, who cares if it's disgusting or not"

Normally, people would avoid this kind of thing!

"I heard that leeches bite open skin and burrow into the flesh... What if it gets inside! It seems like it could also cause inflammation and other problems." My brother was a little uncomfortable with this thing too.

Treating with living creatures is common in folklore, but it's very unfamiliar to us.

And this thing doesn't look like a benevolent creature at all. It's fat and thick, with a large sucker and fine teeth, looking like some unknown monster. It must hurt a lot to be bitten by it!

Long Xiaoge's fringe covered his phoenix eyes, which were very gloomy. He looked at me and said: "Don't just watch, this is the most useful method. It likes poisonous blood the most, two leeches like this can almost suck it all up, bear with it."

He was usually quiet, taciturn, and brooding. This time, his willingness to explain so much was already a favor. If I kept asking questions, I'd seem ungrateful.

It's... really disgusting, you know

I looked at my brother with a pleading gaze.

My brother advised, "Brother Long won't harm you. Or should I cover your eyes for you We're running out of time now, Qiao'er. We don't know what's going on at Old Mrs. Ma's place. Let's quickly remove the poison and go take a look, then we also have to rush to Puzhi Temple and Qingyu Taoist Temple... Damn it, even with three heads and six arms, it wouldn't be enough!"

Long Xiaogē frowned: “There isn't that much time. After seven days, it's basically hopeless. Have Shi Fatzi lead a team to leave first. Which place is more important to you Let him go there first.”

"Of course, Qingyu Dao Guan is more important." My brother said without thinking.

I was taken aback for a moment and glanced at him furtively.

Why is the Qingyu Dao Guan important

Could it be because Old Madam Shen is there My brother has always disliked Old Madam Shen, but deep down, he wouldn't want her to die, would he

I pondered for a moment and then asked Long Xiaoge, "Will these leeches be enough"

"That's enough, one person can use just one. It's full of blood; it can let it spit out the poisonous blood and then suck again."

Ugh…as expected, it’s disgusting!

"Let Stone Fatty take a bucket of leeches to Putuo Temple first! There used to be a crack there, and I estimate that the monks in the temple have also suffered severe damage. Let Stone Fatty go to Putuo Temple first, we'll go to Old Lady Ma's place, and then rush to Qingyu Taoist Temple." I told Brother Long.

He said lightly, "It's up to you. Whether they live or die, it's your call."

This put a lot of pressure on me mentally.

"Come on." I gritted my teeth.

My brother covered my eyes, and I felt something cool and slippery suddenly fall onto my skin, followed by a tingling sensation—it must have been sucked on.

A sharp pain followed, like a powerful suction pulling a chunk of flesh from my calf.

A sharp, tingling pain ran through my scalp. Then, it spread to my other leg.

To save time, Long Ge used two leeches to suck.

I felt like an hour had passed, and then with a "pop," the pain in my calf disappeared.

Peeking from between my brother's fingers, a water leech swollen like a small ball dropped to the ground. Long Ge directly picked it up and went to the bathroom to let it spit out its venomous blood.

After doing this twice, he said, “That’s enough.”

I look at the two legs, the grayness beneath the skin almost gone, but they've been drained of a lot of blood, the veins are sunken in.

"Give yourself a massage to get the blood flowing faster, then we'll slowly replenish it." he told me.

My brother sat on the edge of my bed and started massaging my feet. He wasn't too hard or too soft, just right.

I couldn't help but ask, "Brother, are you this gentle with Miss Lin too"

"Otherwise Shouldn't we let her work hard"

"So, what are your feelings for her Do you like her" I asked, frowning.

"...Like it or not, I didn't expect her to get to this point... When you ask me about this, I really don't know what to say! Damn, I always feel like I owe her something and can never repay it!"

He squeezed me hard twice to vent his anger, the pain made me grind my teeth: “You have the guts to squeeze her! Don't take it out on me!”

"These years, I've really spoiled you! You even helped others yell at me, right"

“What other people! That’s your woman!” I chuckled.

Long Xiaoge went to the old lady's pharmacy and took a lot of medicinal herbs. He used a machine to grind them into powder, packaged them in small plastic bags, and gave them to Shi Fatty. He asked Shi Fatty to take the things and a few people to Puji Temple.

I informed Lin Yanhuan, who wanted to confirm with his own eyes if the corpse poison could be cured. He personally came to pick up the person and hurried to Puji Temple.

I walked on unsteady feet and immediately followed Uncle Chengsu to the Tongxuanhui office.

Mother Ma and her disciples stayed here temporarily. Some, like Xi Linzhou, had to rent houses outside because there wasn't enough room.

Before we went in, we put on our hazmat suits. In this kind of hot weather, wearing a hazmat suit was like being in a steamer.

I haven't slept well in a long time. My nerves have been on edge ever since I went to the Qingyudao Temple. Yesterday, I experienced fright and madness, and today my head aches terribly.

My temples throbbed, fine beads of sweat trickling down from my temple to meet at the corner of my eye. I had just drawn a considerable amount of blood, leaving me unsteady on my feet and unable to open my eyes.

When I sneaked in through the back door, I almost bumped into a pillar. My brother was startled and pulled me back.

I'm really a little dizzy... But Jiang Qiyun hasn't sent any news, how can I sleep soundly

And there are still so many people in need of help.

The entire old house was eerily silent.

Logically speaking, knowing that you are infected with corpse poison and confined to this courtyard, unable to leave, you should be filled with resentment, fear, and irritability.

Why is it so quiet

We came in through the back door. This is the most secluded little courtyard in the whole house, with weeds growing out of the stone bricks on the ground, neglected and overgrown.

When my brother grabbed me, I suddenly came to my senses and heard some strange noises in my ears.

This is a divine consciousness that appears sometimes and disappears at other times. It seems to suddenly awaken within me in the blink of an eye, between moments of drowsiness and wakefulness.

I seem to hear a sound of pained breathing! Right over there, in that little house!

My brother saw me stop in my tracks and immediately followed my gaze, bending down to look forward.

Long Xiaogē also went with them. He was much better at walking mountain paths than we were, not making a sound at all.

I could hear clearly even without going there, two people's voices in the room.

Pain, anguish, and a lingering hatred that knows no bounds —

"Does it hurt Hmm Does it hurt! Can I stab you through like this!! Junior Sister...I love you so much, and you actually use me as a shield—"Qingrui's name, I followed the natural flow of conversation and asked, "That...what was the disciple's name""Ah…Senior brother said it was a Kun Dao, surname Shen, but we didn't have time to exchange...
