Zhou Yu and Chen Yu recuperated in this village for four or five days, in fact, their injuries were already almost healed, but they were never in a hurry to leave, they just wanted to wait here for a little more time to see if a miracle could happen.

When they came, it was obviously a team of five or six people, but now it seems that only the two of them are left alive.

Even people as powerful as stuffy gourds are now nowhere to be found, and they don't know whether they are dead or alive.

Thinking that the wolves on his mountain were so fierce, Zhou Yu felt scared and didn't dare to think about it, but what happened to Uncle and Zhang Huiwen.

They would often stand by the well at the entrance of the village, sitting there quietly watching the direction of Wuyun Mountain.

Every time the uncle saw their worried looks when he passed by, he would run over to persuade them: "Two young people, don't think about going to that dark cloud mountain anymore, it's really dangerous there, your friends, either they've already gone back, or yes, there really was an accident, anyway, that dangerous place, you can't go again..."

"Don't worry, uncle, we won't go. ”

Zhou Yu and Chen Yu comforted him like this every time and reassured him. But in reality, they didn't really wait or give up.

In the past few days, Chen Yu has been seriously studying the book that Zhou Yu got before, "Youdao Medical Scripture".

Moreover, Chen Yu found that in this book, there seems to be a kind of medicinal powder that can resist fierce beasts. This kind of powder is actually very simple and convenient to make, but the materials required are relatively strict.

Among them, there is a medicinal herb called Scorpion Grass, which has never been heard of, let alone what shape it looks like, and there is no pictorial identification of this herb in this book.

Chen Yu said that maybe after they found enough scorpion grass to make this kind of medicine powder to resist fierce beasts, they could try to go to Wuyun Mountain again, as long as they could resist the attack of those wolves, they might be able to find the stuffy gourd, but they may not necessarily. After all, a stuffy gourd, that fierce strength, maybe alive now.

Once they had made up their minds, they began to inquire around the village about the Scorpion Grass.

It's just that this village is very small, and there is nothing special around it except for a grassland. Eighty percent of the people who asked all over the place and their answers were the same, they didn't know.

Until one night, the old man killed one of the family's chickens to improve their food.

When drinking the chicken soup, Chen Yu suddenly sighed with some sadness: "Uncle, your eggs are so sweet, they are very delicious, I have never drunk such a delicious chicken soup." ”

"It's delicious, you just drink more, I'm living here alone, some things I usually grow, poultry I raise, I can't eat so much alone, the reason why I'm busy with so many things is that a person is usually too boring, I can't find something to do, I'm bored..."

It can be seen that he really likes Zhou Yu and Chen Yu and them living here.

After all, when a person is old, it is indeed quite lonely to live here alone, for him, there is actually nothing to ask for in this life, and it is good to have someone to talk to him in his spare time.

At this time, Chen Yu suddenly said: "It would be nice if Uncle Stuffy Gourd, Zhao Shuangzi and Zhang Huiwen were also there, Uncle and Stuffy Gourd, the dishes they cooked were not very delicious, Sister Zhao, and Sister Zhang Huiwen, they must have never eaten such authentic chicken soup..."

Hearing this, the uncle was silent for a while, and his smile was a little embarrassed. It seemed that for a moment there were no words to comfort her.

The three of them were silent for a while before changing the subject: "Let's all drink soup, drink soup, and drink it while it's hot for your stomach." ”

After that, Zhou Yu talked to Chen Yu about scorpion grass. They didn't hide these words from the old man, and he listened to them all.

In the end, the old man actually took the initiative to confess one thing. He came to Zhou Yu and Chen Yu and said, "I know these days, you have been looking for a medicinal herb, and I also know that you want to go to Wuyun Mountain again to find your friends, right?"

"Uncle, I..." Chen Yu was a little embarrassed, in fact, the uncle had had a private chat with her more than once in the past few days, asking her not to go to Wuyun Mountain again, and quickly dispelled this idea.

But she and Zhou Yu really couldn't do it, watching their friends disappear and be indifferent.

The uncle sighed and said, "Forget it, since I can't stop you, then I'll tell you everything I know." Actually, I know where to find scorpion grass. ”

Hearing this, Zhou Yu and Chen Yu were stunned for a moment, with some incredulous expressions, they looked at the uncle and asked, "Uncle, you're not joking with us, are you?" Do you really know where the scorpion grass is?"

"Really, I didn't lie to you, scorpion grass grows in particularly shady places, and it is usually invisible, so there are very few people who know that they exist. ”

As he spoke, he stood up and said to them, "Come with me, and I'll take you to find it." ”

These words really made Zhou Yu and them very surprised and surprised.

They didn't ask too much, and just followed quickly. In the uncle's house, there is actually a cellar, where some ginger, bean sprouts and other things are usually placed.

The scorpion grass that the uncle said before grows in this cellar.

When they went down the wooden stairs below, Zhou Yu and Chen Yu clearly saw that there were a lot of purple leaves growing below, these things were growing on the wall, and it seemed that their shapes were not regular, just looking casual.

The uncle explained: "This scorpion grass, it has a very harsh condition for growth, that is, it dies when it sees the light, it cannot be irradiated by the light, otherwise it will die immediately, so what you see is only growing on the wall, because when we come down, there will always be a little light shining down, and these lights can only shine in the center, and the wall cannot shine." ”

"I see..."

Zhou Yu and Chen Yu nodded, indicating that they understood. But in this way, there is a very serious problem, if these things die in the light, then there is no way to take them out? And then how to make them into medicine powder to tame those fierce beasts?

Zhou Yu looked at Chen Yu and asked, "How about it?"

She didn't think about it, so she replied with great certainty: "No problem, trust me!"

Zhou Yu smiled, since Chen Yu personally promised, then there must be no problem.

This time, the uncle really wanted to help them, and helped them pick all the scorpion grass that grew here, and then put it in a black bag.

After bringing these things back, Chen Yu began to retreat, and she hid in her room all day long to make the kind of medicine powder described in the book.

Because it couldn't see the light, she had to make it in the dark, and then all the windows in the house had to be closed, the curtains closed, and the lights couldn't be turned on at night.

It took two days to finally make this medicinal powder, and there were five or six packs in total, each of which was the size of a fist.

Chen Yu said that the use of this thing is also very simple, you only need to apply some powder to yourself when you go up the mountain, so that you can smell the smell around.

So on the night of making this thing, they prepared all kinds of necessary items and planned to set off for Wuyun Mountain the next morning. This time he was fully prepared, and on this basis, the old man also specially drew a particularly detailed map for them.

It turned out that the old man often went to Wuyun Mountain to cut firewood in his early years, because the trees there were very thick, and he could often hunt all kinds of prey there. So he is still very familiar with that mountain, even if he hasn't been there for so many years, he still remembers the road there.

According to the map, if you want to go to Wuyun Mountain, there is actually another shortcut, that is, you can go up the river and find a passage up the mountain that was used in the previous burial ground.

The next day, the sky was still bright, Zhou Yu and Chen Yu had already set off, they did not say goodbye to the old man in person, but chose to leave a note, and made a promise that when they found their friend, they would definitely come back to thank the uncle.
