Chapter 1737 That Place is Terrible

At around three o'clock in the morning, another group of people arrived and woke up everyone who was already sleeping.

The hotel owner rubbed his eyes and muttered, "What day is today? Why are there so many people climbing the mountain in the middle of the night..."

Seeing the group of people coming, he was even more confused.

There were more than a dozen people in this group, including Asian faces, European faces, and a few black people.

These people looked like they were full of hostility. They didn't seem to be here to climb the mountain, but rather to pick a fight.

The boss didn't dare to ask more questions and quickly wanted to arrange for them to stay.

But these people had no intention of staying in a hotel, but instead clamored for roast lamb and strong liquor, because they really couldn't stand the cold.

The boss quickly made arrangements, and suddenly the small hotel became bustling with activity.

Zhuque, Xuanwu and Chuge were all awakened. Listening to the noise outside, they felt curious and irritated.

However, they remembered Pi Yangyang's words, suppressed their curiosity and did not go to check.

The next day, Zhaxi came to the hotel early and waited for him.

Pi Yangyang, Chu Ge and others had a quick breakfast in the hotel and followed Zhaxi to find Uncle Qiangba.

Zhaxi was very talkative. Along the way, he introduced the situation of Uncle Qiangba's family.

Uncle Qiangba has two sons, but they have moved to the city.

His sons originally planned to take him in to live with them, but after living there for a few days, he felt very uncomfortable and ran back.

Now he lives alone, usually works as a guide or joins the rescue team to help people who have accidents while climbing mountains, earning a certain amount of money to support his life.

But not long ago, after he came back from a trip to the snow-capped mountains, he suddenly fell ill, and his illness was very serious.

After being sent to the city for treatment for a while and getting a little better, he couldn't stay any longer and ran back.

Just as Zhaxi was explaining the situation, several people came to a dilapidated house.

There was a thick cotton curtain hanging on the door.

Tashi stood at the door and called out, “Uncle Qiangba?”

An old and weak voice came from inside: "Who is it? Come in."

"Uncle Qiangba, we have a few guests from afar who want to visit you. Is it convenient?"

Zhaxi didn't rush in, but shouted outside the door.

"Guests from afar?" Uncle Qiangba hesitated for a moment, then coughed a few times before saying, "Since you are here, come in."

Zhaxi then opened the door curtain and said to Pi Yangyang, "Please come in."

Pi Yangyang didn't hesitate and went in with Chu Ge and others.

The room was very dark and filled with a strong smell of medicine.

Pi Yangyang took a closer look and saw an old man lying on a huge blanket inside, trying hard to sit up.

Zhaxi hurried over to help him up and said, "Uncle Qiangba, are you feeling better?"

Uncle Qiangba coughed a few times and said, "Much better..."

Pi Yangyang looked at him and saw that Uncle Qiangba was very thin, with gray hair and beard, and wrinkles on his face. He looked to be in his seventies.

Although he said he felt much better, he was still gasping for breath after just a little movement and looked very uncomfortable.

Zhaxi also saw it, and said worriedly: "Uncle, your illness is still very serious. How about I call Daji and ask him to pick you up and take you to the city for another checkup?"

Uncle Qiangba quickly waved his hands and said, "No...Zhaxi, my illness is like this, I can't get better. It's not easy for them to live in the city, don't cause them trouble."

"But……"

Zhaxi was obviously feeling a little upset and still wanted to persuade.

Uncle Qiangba looked at Pi Yangyang, Chu Ge and the others and said, "Don't worry about me for now. Ask the guests to sit down and help me pour them a cup of goat milk tea."

Zhaxi could only help him sit down, then turned around, pointed to a blanket on the ground, and said, "Please sit down."

There was a coffee table in the middle of the blanket. Zhaxi brought a few bowls and placed them on it, then went to light a fire to make milk tea.

Seeing Chu Ge frowning, Pi Yangyang knew that he was not used to the environment and the smell of medicine, so he pointed at the blanket and said, "Sit down and have a bowl of milk tea to warm yourself up."

Chu Ge was indeed not used to it. If it had been before he met Pi Yangyang, he would have turned around and left long ago.

But at this moment, he forced himself to sit down.

Tie Niu, Suzaku and Xuanwu also sat down, while Pi Yangyang came to Uncle Qiangba and took a closer look.

"Are you here to climb the mountain?" Qangba asked with all his might.

Pi Yangyang said: "We want to find a place called Lingquan Mountain. Do you know it?"

As soon as he said this, Uncle Qiangba suddenly trembled all over, and a hint of surprise and fear flashed in his eyes.

"Lingquan Mountain?" he said in a lost voice.

Uncle Qiangba’s reaction surprised Pi Yangyang, but also made him a little surprised.

He was sure that Uncle Qiangba might really know where Lingquan Mountain was.

"Yes, Lingquan Mountain."

Pi Yangyang said affirmatively.

"What are you doing there? Did you also hear that there is a treasure there, so..."

Uncle Qiangba looked at Pi Yangyang suspiciously and asked.

Pi Yangyang did not deny it and said directly: "Yes, we want to look for treasure."

Uncle Qiangba suddenly sighed, shook his head and said, "That's just a legend. No one has ever seen any treasure. Over the years, I don't know how many people have gone to look for treasures..."

Pi Yangyang's eyes flickered, but he didn't refute.

Because he could see that Uncle Qiangba's eyes were a little vague when he said these words.

"Have you looked for it too?" he asked calmly.

A trace of fear flashed in Uncle Qiangba's eyes, "Young man, that place is too scary. Do you know that almost no one who went in to look for treasure in recent years has ever come out? There are snowmen in there who eat people without leaving any bones..."

As he said these words, his hands shook involuntarily.

Pi Yangyang's eyes fixed, and he asked, "Have you ever met a snowman?"

Uncle Qiangba hesitated for a moment, then said with some fear: "I don't know if it was true, but it was very scary. I was lucky at the time and was not discovered because I hid in the pile of rocks. Otherwise..."

Pi Yangyang smiled slightly, "Now that you mention it, I want to go and see it even more."

Uncle Qiangba sighed and said, "It's not just the Yeti that's scary. There are many other things in there that are hard to guard against. For example, the Blood Demon Flower. Even though it's just a vine, it can still kill people..."

Pi Yangyang couldn't help but be stunned. The snowman was outrageous enough, but there were actually flowers that could kill people?

This aroused his curiosity even more. Whether the treasure could be found was secondary. He had to see these things with his own eyes.

He smiled and said, "I know a little bit about medicine, I'll take a look at it for you."

As he spoke, he stretched out three fingers and placed them on Uncle Qiangba's wrist.

Uncle Qiangba said sadly, "I went to a big hospital and the doctor said that my illness can't be cured. I'm already this old, I just live one day at a time, as long as I don't cause trouble to the children."

Pi Yangyang didn't say anything. He listened to the pulse for half a minute, loosened his fingers and said, "Even if your illness can't be cured, it won't be so difficult for you to live. If you believe in me, let me try to treat you?"

Before Uncle Qiangba could speak, Zhaxi asked curiously, "Mr. Pi, are you a doctor?"

Pi Yangyang said: "Uncle Qiangba's lungs were seriously damaged because of the cold air he got into from the snowy mountains all year round."

He looked at Uncle Qiangba and continued, "You have been coughing frequently recently, and have felt chest tightness and pain, shortness of breath, and a feeling of drowning. This is because your lungs are severely damaged."

Uncle Qiangba looked at Pi Yangyang in astonishment, nodded and said, "Yes, yes, what you said is exactly the same as what the doctor in the hospital said."

Pi Yangyang said: "Although I can't completely cure you, I can at least make you feel a lot more relaxed than you are now."

Uncle Qiangba immediately showed a hopeful look on his face and said excitedly: "Really? As long as you can make me feel a little more relaxed, I will be very grateful."

Pi Yangyang took out a needle bag from his body, slowly opened it, and took out a golden needle.

Last night he heard Tashi say that Uncle Qiangba was ill recently, so he brought the injection bag with him.

"I'll give you a few injections first, and then write you a prescription. Take three courses of medicine according to the prescription, and that should be enough. From now on, take three courses of medicine every year before winter, and it will ensure that your disease will not recur in the winter."

Pi Yangyang said calmly.

Then he asked Uncle Qiangba to take off his shirt and sit by the fire.

After he sat down, Pi Yangyang inserted the gold needle into his "lung point" and gently twisted it a few times.

A sour and swollen feeling immediately spread around Uncle Qiangba’s “lung point”.
