When True Man Changmei heard that it was poisonous, he quickly retracted his hand and took two steps back.
”Little bastard, how do you know this skull is poisonous?”
True Man Changmei asked.
”Don’t you notice that this skull is black, while the skull of a normal person after death is white.” Ye Qiu said.
True Man Changmei took a closer look and it was indeed so. This skull was just like charcoal.
”Ordinary Taoists are proficient in some medical skills and pathology. Old thing, can’t you even tell that the skull is poisonous?”
In Ye Qiu’s words, there was a bit of sarcasm.
”Nonsense!”
The Long-browed True Man said seriously, “I am the head of the dignified Longhu Mountain. How could I not be able to tell the poison?”
”Actually, I had already seen it.”
”The reason why I reached out to pick it up was to see your reaction. As it turns out, you are very careful and found that this skull is poisonous, which makes me very relieved.”
The Long-browed True Man said, “In this kind of wild mountain, you should be careful about everything. In this regard, Shui Sheng, you should learn more from Ye Qiu.”
”Hmm.”
Shui Sheng nodded.
Ye Qiu rolled his eyes and secretly cursed the Long-browed True Man for being shameless in his heart.
”Doctor Ye, I just stepped on it. Will I be poisoned?” Shui Sheng asked with a pale face.
”Don’t worry, you’re not poisoned.”
After Ye Qiu finished speaking, he picked up a branch from the ground and then used the branch to rip off all the leaves around the skull.
Soon, a skeleton appeared in the sight of the three people.
This skeleton was pitch black all over.
”Huh, what kind of poison can make a person’s bones all over the body become like this?”
Ye Qiu’s eyes showed confusion, and he squatted down to carefully observe this skeleton.
“Doctor Ye, let’s go. This skeleton is very creepy.” Shui Sheng was timid and very scared.
Reverend Longbrow didn’t want to waste time either. He wanted to find Dalong Mountain as soon as possible and said, “Little brat, it’s just a skeleton. What’s there to look at? Let’s go!”
However, Ye Qiu didn’t move at all and continued to stare at the skeleton.
Three minutes later.
Seeing that Ye Qiu still had no intention of leaving, Reverend Longbrow said impatiently, “Little brat, you’ve been staring at this skeleton for a long time. What have you found out?”
”The deceased was a male, around thirty to thirty-five years old. The time of death… should be about ninety years ago.”
”The cause of his death was poisoning.”
”I’ve never seen this kind of poison before. It seems that it should come from some kind of fierce beast.”
Fierce beast?
When Shui Sheng heard these two words, he immediately shrank his neck and looked around, for fear that the fierce beast Ye Qiu mentioned was nearby.
Reverend Longbrow said to Ye Qiu, “You mean that before this person died, he was attacked by a fierce beast, and the fierce beast that attacked him was highly poisonous?”
”Hmm.” Ye Qiu nodded.
”Do you know what kind of fierce beast it is?” Reverend Longbrow asked.
Ye Qiu shook his head: “I don’t know, but judging from the tooth marks, this kind of fierce beast should not be very large in size.”
”Tooth marks?”
Reverend Longbrow quickly leaned in front of the corpse, Youdaoplaceholder0 down and saw that the skeleton was covered with dense tooth marks from top to bottom.
The tooth marks were very thin, just like a mouse’s teeth.
Ye Qiu said: “The human body’s bones are protected by flesh and skin on the outside. This kind of fierce beast can actually leave such deep tooth marks on the bones, showing that its teeth are very sharp.”
”Sharp teeth, small size, highly poisonous. What kind of fierce beast could it be?” The Long-browed True Man fell into deep thought.
”I know.” Shui Sheng suddenly said.
Ye Qiu and the Long-browed True Man turned their heads simultaneously and looked at Shui Sheng.
”What do you know?” The Long-browed True Man asked with wide eyes.
”Uncle, the fierce beast you mentioned should be a dog.”
Shui Sheng explained: “There are large dogs, medium dogs, and small dogs. Obviously, the one that bit this guy to death is a small dog.”
”I heard people say before that the smaller the dog’s size, the sharper its teeth and the fiercer its temper.”
”Didn’t you just say that the cause of this person’s death was poisoning? Dogs also have poison, rabies…”
”Shut the fuck up!”
The Long-browed True Man was so angry that the blue veins were on his forehead bulged. He glared at Shui Sheng and cursed. “I should have known better than to bring you out. You’re embarrassing yourself.”
”Uncle, am I wrong?” Shui Sheng asked with a look of confusion on his face.
Don’t you have any idea whether you’re right or wrong?
The Long-browed True Man was so angry that he couldn’t speak.
Ye Qiu smiled and said: “Shui Sheng, you’re very smart. Read more books when you have time.”
”This…” Shui Sheng scratched his head and said shyly, “As soon as I read a book, I get a headache and a fever.”
I believe the headache. Many primary school students also get headaches when they see books.
As for the fever…
Ye Qiu glanced at Shui Sheng and thought to himself, can you make up a better excuse?
The old thing also said you were honest. I don’t think you’re honest at all.
Who knew that the Long-Browed True Man sighed beside him and said, “In this regard, Shui Sheng didn’t tell a lie. He really gets a headache and a fever as soon as he reads a book.”
”When he was a child, I thought he was lying to me. Once I forced him to read a book for half an hour.”
”Unexpectedly, he had a high fever of 41 degrees and almost burned to death. It scared me to death.”
”Later, I took him to see a doctor. The doctor said that Shui Sheng’s disease belongs to a rare and difficult miscellaneous disease and cannot be cured.”
”This kid doesn’t learn martial arts and can’t read books either. I’m so difficult!”
Ye Qiu was also a little surprised. Unexpectedly, everything Shui Sheng said was true. He had to comfort the Long-Browed True Man and said, “Don’t worry. Shui Sheng is a natural sage and will definitely make a difference sooner or later.”
Little bastard, why do I feel like you’re satirizing me?
“I’mjust mocking you.”
Long-Browed True Man: “…”
”Shui Sheng, I’m a doctor. When I have time later, I’ll treat you.”
After Ye Qiu finished speaking, he reminded the two again: “The Hundred Thousand Great Mountains are indeed a bit strange. I have a hunch that we may still encounter danger next. Be careful.”
The three continued to go down the mountain.
The Long-browed True Person was seriously injured, and coupled with the difficult mountain road, he had been supported by Shui Sheng, so the 500-meter journey took a full twenty minutes.
After going down the mountain.
The scenery changed, and a flat grassland appeared in front of them. In the middle of the grassland, there was a water pond.
The three came to the edge of the water pond.
The water pond was not big, only forty or fifty square meters, and the stones at the bottom of the water could be clearly seen.
“What a beautiful scenery with green mountains and clear waters!” Seeing that the Long-browed True Person was sweating profusely, Ye Qiu said, “Let’s take a break, eat something, and then set off after replenishing some strength.”
“Okay.”
The Long-browed True Person agreed and sat down on the grass.
“Meow~”
Suddenly, a cat’s meow sounded.
Shui Sheng turned his head and saw that on a stone not far away, a furry black cat was squatting.
The black cat was very small, only the size of a rice bowl, and its whole body was covered with thick fluff, just like a Garfield cat, looking lazy and a little.
“So cute.”
Shui Sheng immediately walked to the stone and stretched out his hand to touch the black cat’s head, but at this moment, the black cat suddenly opened its mouth and revealed two sharp tiger teeth…
