Chapter 161
Convinced that he read correctly, Gu Dan put away the dry food that Lin Xiaoyi had prepared for them, and patted Xun Ke who was still in a daze.

"Someone."

"Ok?"

Xun Ke was taken aback, how could people live in such a dilapidated village?

His gaze followed the direction of Gu Dan's finger.

There are real people.

It was the season when autumn was turning cold, but that person was dressed in ragged clothes, and the clothes were almost turned into strips of cloth hanging on her body. The autumn rain was very cold and fell on her body, and she couldn't help shaking constantly. There seems to be something wrong with the hands and feet. When walking, he stumbles and has a huge arc, almost sliding forward against the ground, which looks a bit funny.

The two hurried forward and walked over.

It's clearer if you get closer, it's a woman, to be precise, it should be an old woman, but the current appearance is too tolerant to describe her appearance as slovenly, her body has a nearly black luster, her hands and feet They all showed unnatural bends, and there was still some distance between them, and the unbearable stench came to the face.

Her figure is extremely skinny, and her loose skin is tightly attached to her bony body, making her rag-like clothes look a bit fat, but her belly is bulging, which is completely out of proportion to that skinny body Protruding forward, like a pregnant woman who has been pregnant for several months.

Xun Ke stared at her for a while in the rain, and then he called out with some doubts: "Aunt Cheng?"

The old woman who moved her body forward moved forward a few more steps, as if she had just heard the sound, she turned her head at a very slow speed.

At this time, Gu Dan finally saw that one of her eyes was already blind, she was stunned, motionless, and the other eye was shriveled like a nearly withered grape whose shell had been peeled off. The pupils of the eyes can't wait to shrink to the size of a pinprick.

"Who?"

Her face was aimed at the two of them, but she couldn't see everything around her clearly. Her hoarse voice seemed to be squeezed out from her heart and lungs. I've spoken.

"It's you!"

Xun Ke wanted to say something, but his throat got stuck, and he didn't know what to say for a while.

Fortunately, Gu Dan reacted quickly, took out the warm clothes he had prepared from his package, put them on for Aunt Cheng, and then said without doubt: "Let's talk in the room first."

Together, the two helped Aunt Cheng to Xun Ke's previous home. Aunt Cheng's expression seemed to be a bit resistant—but she didn't have much strength, and some weak tossings could not be felt at all.

"Aunt Cheng, I'm Xun Ke! That boy from the Xun family went to your house to hunt dates before! Do you remember? Da Niu, Er Niu and I."

Xun Ke also opened up the conversation, "Why are you still here? Where are the other people in the village?"

Came under the eaves, sheltered from the wind and rain for the time being, Gu Dan swept the surrounding open space with his true energy, and tore down the only wooden table left in Xun Ke's house, and lit it into a fire.

Then take out the clean thatch that the two of you used before and spread it on the ground, let Aunt Cheng sit down and warm up together.

"Xun Ke. Xun Ke."

Aunt Cheng chanted this name, her stiff face showed a thoughtful look, her reaction was very slow, even her thoughts were slow.

Xun Ke looked anxiously at Gu Dan.

Mr. Gu is a doctor, although this identity seems very light.

Gu Dan nodded lightly, and green light fell on Aunt Cheng's body as he waved his hand.

However, the internal energy of the Qingmu Huasheng Art seemed not as effective as before——just as the green light fell on her body, Aunt Cheng's body twitched involuntarily, and an unbearable roar came out of her throat.

"No vomit!"

She vomited violently, and the faint yellow saliva spit out together with large areas of beige and some dark white things, and a strong earthy smell hit her face.

Aunt Cheng's bulging stomach, which seemed to have been pregnant for a long time, was accompanied by vomiting, and it quickly diminished.

"This is the Guanyin soil?"

Gu Dan already understood.

Guanyintu, the last choice of the people who have no food in the year of the catastrophe.

It is really a kind of soil. Eating it will give people a strong sense of fullness and fullness, but it cannot be absorbed and digested by the human body, and it is not a real food. People who eat too much will also cause many diseases. The most common thing is that it cannot be excreted, and all of them are accumulated in the stomach, so that people are suffocated to death.

That's why Aunt Cheng's stomach is swollen like that.

The inner energy of the Aoki Transformation Art is making up for the unrepeatable body like a dry desert at an extremely fast speed, and those Avalokitesvara soils naturally become genuine foreign objects, which are immediately rejected by the body.

After a long while, Aunt Cheng finally managed to stop the feeling of vomiting, but for the first time, the internal energy that had always seemed to be invincible was somewhat deflated, and one of her eyes was still dazed, completely damaged, even though Even the internal qi of Qingmu Huasheng Jue can't be cured.

But the other eye finally revealed a crystal light, it no longer looked dry, and the originally blurred world became clear and clear again.

Even the originally unnaturally curved hands and feet, the degree of bending has been reduced a lot - years of bending have completely twisted the bones, and the internal energy of Qingmu Huasheng Jue cannot completely cure it.

"Aunt Cheng, it's me, I'm Xun Ke! Can you tell?"

Xun Ke tried his best to shake his hands in front of her, without showing any disgust, "Why are you here alone?"

"It's Xun Ke. It's Xun Ke!"

Her reaction was finally a lot faster. The only thing left was to stare at Xun Ke for a while, and then a smile appeared on her face, "You're back! When did you come back? Why didn't you tell Aunt Cheng?"

"Just came back."

Xun Ke helped her to another place beside the fire.

"Just came back? Oh, yes. The autumn harvest is over, and everyone is free. It's time to come back."

The logic of the old woman is barely clear, at least she knows that it is autumn, but obviously she lives here alone, otherwise it would be difficult to make it like this, even when it is time to eat Guanyin clay.

"Come on, sit down first. It's raining outside, and it's easy to catch cold in the rain. Let's have a warm fire together first."

The stool had long since disappeared, and the ground was covered with clean thatch, so it was considered warm around the fire.

The old woman seemed hesitant, with an embarrassing look on her face, and said tremblingly: "Some time ago, my house was burglarized! I wanted to come to your house to borrow fire, but I couldn't find anyone, so I went back. I'm still worried about what you will do if you come back at that time. It's fine!"

"Why did you go there just now?"

Xun Ke nodded, his nose was a little sour, but he still forced a smile and asked softly.

"Ah, isn't this just after the autumn harvest! I'll go and see the harvested wheat. You also know that my guy is the most careless and always leaves some ears of wheat in the field. If you don't pick them up, others will Picked it up! Let me tell you, Da Niu’s family can’t work well. I think it’s a pity that his land is full of weeds. They are all good fields. We are doing our duty, but we didn’t go to him. I went to pick them up in the field. It’s just that this year my house was cleaned up quite clean, and there were no ears of wheat left. It happened to be raining, so I came back.”
