Facing Li Di's plea, the old man nodded slightly and asked: "Do you have anything on your body that you are not afraid of burning? This ambergris needs to be dried."

I picked up the lid of the water cup on the ground and said, "This cup is useless anyway, so just use this lid. Stainless steel is not afraid of burning."

The old man glanced at it for confirmation, and then ordered: "Go and collect some dry firewood."

The most indispensable thing in rural areas is dry firewood, and there are several piles of firewood stacked next to the well platform.

I casually carried some back to the well platform and lit them.

The old man took the opportunity to pour the ambergris in the cup into the lid of the water cup and put it on the fire to roast.

When this thing gets heated, it emits a puff of black smoke, accompanied by a choking burning smell that goes straight into the nostrils.

I wiped it, and it smelled like burnt wool. It made my nose runny and tears streaming down my face.

During the roasting process, the old man kept watching the changes in the liquid in the cup lid.

After more than half an hour, the ambergris slowly turned into powder, and the old man said: "Okay, stop roasting, and tie your uncle to a tree."

Li Di was stunned and blurted out: "Why are you tying up my uncle? Senior, you don't want to beat my uncle, right?"

The old man shook his head and smiled without explaining.

I said: "If you can take out the monster eggs with a beating, you must take this beating."

Li Di and I first unraveled the four images.

As soon as the thing regained its freedom, it jumped into the well like a frightened bird.

Then he lifted up Li Di's uncle, let him lean gently on the willow tree, and then wrapped a rope around him.

Originally, we thought it would be enough to keep him sitting still, but the old man kept shouting at the side to tie him tighter. We had no choice but to loosen and tie him up again.

After the bundle was strong, the old man lit the ambergris powder on fire.

This powder is very magical. There is no flame when ignited, just like burning incense. There are only red flames and green smoke.

What's even more amazing is that it is completely different from before. There is no smell of burning wool, but there is a strange fragrance. I can't tell what the fragrance is, but it smells very good and makes people feel very comfortable.

I took a deep breath and it was the best smell I have ever smelled in my life.

At this time, the three words "ambergris" suddenly popped into my mind.

According to legend, ambergris was a spice used in ancient palaces. It was brought as tribute from the Western Regions. It was very rare. A pinch can burn for a day. If burned once, the fragrance will linger in the room for more than ten days. It is deeply loved by nobles in the palace.

Modern research says that ambergris is actually the feces of sperm whales, but at this time I decided that the smell I smelled was the legendary ambergris.

The old man put the burning ambergris powder under Uncle Li Di's nose, and the green smoke drifted into his nostrils.

After a while, Uncle Li Di opened his eyes wide.

"Wake up...Uncle Master..."

Li Di shouted happily.

But when her uncle yelled at her, his eyes were fixed on the lid of the water glass, showing a particularly eager expression. His mouth was wide open and his nose was twitching, as if he wanted to suck all the fragrance into his stomach.

After taking a few sips, he seemed to be unsatisfied and began to twist and struggle, trying to break free from the rope, and jumped directly to swallow the ambergris saliva.

I instantly understood what the old man meant when he asked us to tie them tightly.

It was obvious that Uncle Li Di was still in an unconscious state, but he was a practitioner after all, and he still had some brute strength. After struggling, the rope became a little loose.

As a last resort, Li Di and I had no choice but to step forward and hold him down.

Unable to break free, Master Li Di opened his mouth wide again, breathing hard, and his chest heaved violently, like a drowning person who was suddenly fished out.

After he sucked hard for a few minutes, his expression became distorted.

His eyes were round and round, one of them was red and bloodshot; the veins at his temples were bulging so high that they seemed to burst out; his mouth was wide enough to swallow a goose egg, and he made a "gurgling" sound in his throat.

The soft sound...

It's clearly the kind of thing where you want to vomit but can't, and it looks extremely painful.

Seeing this, Li Di panicked and asked anxiously: "Uncle, how are you?"

But her uncle hadn't woken up yet, so he couldn't answer her.

As a last resort, she turned to look at the old man again: "Senior, what's wrong with my uncle?"

The old man looked calm and waved his hand calmly: "Don't panic, that thing is coming out."

As soon as he finished speaking, a lump the size of an egg suddenly bulged out of Uncle Li Di's chest and kept rolling towards his throat.

Next, I saw an extremely disgusting scene.

A white thing poked its head out of Uncle Li Di's black hole-like mouth.

Then, he slowly crawled out of his white and fat body...

Damn it! Is this a tapeworm?

How would you feel if you watched a worm come out of a person's mouth?

Anyway, my stomach churned several times, and the contents almost spewed out.

But I can only endure it, because if it really sprays out, it will be a big trouble to scare the bug back.

Li Di looks similar to me. Her pretty face turned purple from suppressing the pressure. It can be seen that she endured it very hard.

We both held our breaths and watched quietly as the insect crawled out of her uncle's mouth.

This insect is about twenty centimeters long, looks soft, white, eyeless, and has a pair of tentacles.

After it came out, it lay on Uncle Li Di's lips, with half of its body hanging in the air, twisting and turning towards the lid of the water glass that was smoking.

When the old man saw this scene, he put the lid of the water cup on the ground and drifted away without knowing what he was doing.

The white bug twisted a few more times, fell to the ground with a "clack", and then crawled towards the lid of the cup following the scent.

Like a moth to a flame, it crawls into the lid of the cup without hesitation.

The whole body was sizzling with burning ambergris.

But it didn't realize it, didn't struggle, and lay motionless, letting the fire burn it.

The ambergris was burning vigorously, and after a while, the insect's body swelled up, and not long after, it exploded with a "pop" sound.

Then, a strong odor spread instantly.

I really don't understand how such a little bug can stink so much. It's so stinky, it's like a septic tank exploding, or even worse.

How fragrant the ambergris is, how stinky the smell is.

Two extremes.

Li Di and I covered our noses and ran away. Unable to control ourselves any longer, we started vomiting loudly.

Now, I know why the old guy ran so far.

So unauthentic...

The fields were empty, and the stench went away as quickly as it came. A gust of night wind blew in, and it dissipated not long after.

We returned to the well platform and untied Master Li Di, but he still didn't wake up.

The old man floated back and checked on Uncle Li Di: "It's okay, he woke up soon."

After saying that, he went to look at the insect again.

The bugs have been burned to ashes and the ambergris has been extinguished.
