Zhou Ming looked at Xie Yunjiao's slightly bent and indifferent back as she turned her back to him, and did not speak for a long time.
Xie Yunjiao felt as if a thorn was on her back and her body became stiff.
She wasn't sleeping, she was counting the time.
But the intervals between Zhou Ming's attacks became shorter than before!
When Zhou Ming was rolling on the ground in pain, the tribesman who had led him before came again. He opened the door, took a look at the fallen Zhou Ming, walked over expressionlessly, grabbed his feet and dragged him out.
Zhou Ming rolled on the ground in pain, completely unable to resist.
Xie Yunjiao opened her eyes the moment she heard the door open. She was stunned when she saw the man dragging Zhou Ming out.
Unexpectedly, this man looked thin and disabled, but he had such great strength that he could actually drag Zhou Ming, who was taller than him, out.
Xie Yunjiao shouted at him, "What do you want to do?"
The man turned around and looked at Xie Yunjiao. He said, "I'll take him to see a witch doctor. He'll be fine."
After saying that, the man took Zhou Ming out.
Xie Yunjiao's tense heart relaxed at once. Since they were going to see a witch doctor, there was nothing for her to do.
Xie Yunjiao lay down again.
wrong!
Xie Yunjiao sat up suddenly again. She had just spoken Chinese to the man, and he actually understood her and answered in Chinese!
Could it be that he is Han Chinese?
Then why did he pretend not to understand the conversation between her and Zhou Ming before that? !
Or perhaps he did it on purpose.
Xie Yunjiao had no answer in her mind and she suddenly became nervous.
This place is so strange. She doesn’t know how many dangers are waiting for her nearby. She just wants to leave here quickly!
Although Zhou Ming had left, her heart was still tense and she was afraid to fall asleep.
And the pain in her injured leg still came occasionally, but it was not as intense as it was at the beginning.
She didn't know how long it had passed, but she felt that the surrounding environment seemed to have become brighter.
She opened her eyes and found that it was indeed bright outside the window, with a ray of sunlight shining on her face.
She raised her hands to block the sunlight and slowly sat up.
Strangely, the pain in her legs was getting weaker and weaker. She just felt that her legs could move a little.
Just then the door of the room was opened from the outside and the man from yesterday walked in.
He said to Xie Yunjiao, "Miss, my name is Agui. I'm from this tribe. I'm here to bring you food and medicine."
As Agui spoke, he handed over the food, which was some strange fruits.
Xie Yunjiao thanked Agui and asked, "Where's Zhou Ming? Why hasn't he come back after all night?"
If it were any other time, it would be fine if Zhou Ming didn’t see him.
But now the only person she knows here is Zhou Ming. Although he is cruel and suspicious, at least she can use him to leave here.
If Zhou Ming was gone, she would most likely be trapped here and unable to leave.
"Don't worry, he's fine, but the poison in his body is a bit tricky. The witch doctor said it will take some time." Agui said.
Xie Yunjiao was stunned for a moment. She didn't expect Agui to say these words to her so honestly.
"Since you said so, I would like to ask, were you the ones who poisoned me?" Xie Yunjiao asked.
Ah Gui waved his hands hastily and said, "Our poisonous insects can be sold for money. We won't poison anyone casually."
Xie Yunjiao was stunned for a moment: "Can poisonous insects be sold for money? Isn't it said that your Miao area is full of poisonous insects?"
Agui couldn't help laughing when he heard it. Under his dark skin, there were two rows of white teeth.
He said to Xie Yunjiao, "Although the people of Miaojiang are good at using Gu, Gu worms are not that easy to raise.
Raising the Gu worms requires a lot of effort. Our witch doctors feed the worms their own bodies to cultivate so many of them."
Xie Yunjiao was shocked. She never expected that someone would use his or her own body as a petri dish to raise poisonous insects.
Zhou Ming was in so much pain because of just one poisonous insect. Wouldn't the witch doctor be in such great pain if he had tens of thousands of insects on his body?!
"All the poisons in Miaojiang are sent out from here. We don't charge any money, and we use it in exchange for the supplies we need.
The environment here is too humid, with little sunshine, so it's impossible to grow crops," said Agui.
Xie Yunjiao suddenly understood.
But they use such precious poisonous insects to exchange for supplies. How much supplies are needed to exchange for one poisonous insect?
As if he had guessed what Xie Yunjiao was talking about, Agui said, “We don’t have any rules, it depends on fate.
Just like you, I can exchange my belongings for treatment and food."
Agui took out the medicine bottle and said to Xie Yunjiao, "Why don't you eat the medicine first and then apply the medicine, otherwise it will hurt a lot later."
Xie Yunjiao's heart tightened when she thought of the piercing pain she felt yesterday.
But in order to get better quickly and leave here earlier, Xie Yunjiao gritted her teeth and ate some fruit before letting Agui apply medicine to her.
"Actually, besides fruits, do you have any other food here?" Xie Yunjiao pretended to chat to distract herself, otherwise she was afraid that she would move around out of fear.
Agui said: "Rice is too precious to us. We only eat rice at noon and not at other times."
"Then can you please leave some for me when you eat later?" Xie Yunjiao smiled at Agui sheepishly, "I'm craving white rice."
Xie Yunjiao wanted to store more strength so that she could escape, otherwise just eating these fruits would not be enough to replenish much energy.
"We don't eat rice here, we only eat rice porridge." Agui said.
Xie Yunjiao thought so too. They all said that rice was very precious to them. If they used it to cook, they would need a lot of rice, so it was normal for them not to eat rice.
"Then please leave some rice porridge for me." Xie Yunjiao said.
Agui replied "OK" and then sprinkled the powder on Xie Yunjiao's wound.
A piercing pain came over her, and Xie Yunjiao fainted from the pain again.
When she woke up, Agui had already left and it was getting dark outside. She thought it was too exaggerated. She fainted and woke up again, and a whole day was gone!
She thought that she had slept for so long and didn't know whether Agui had left any rice porridge for her. She was so hungry that her stomach was rumbling.
Suddenly, in the dim light, she really saw a bowl of white porridge on the table, and there were also side dishes on the table. Although she couldn't see clearly what was on the table, her heart suddenly became excited.
She got down and took a few steps before she reacted.
Strangely enough, her legs had almost recovered, with only a little pain, and she could walk again!
She came to the table and saw the porridge in the bowl. It was called porridge, but it was actually just a few grains of rice with water.
