Chapter 257: The Other Side of the Mountain
"Blood-red spider?" the old man raised his head, glanced at his wife, and asked, "Old woman, have you ever seen this kind of insect in our country?"
"I've never seen it!"
"Haven't you seen it, blood-red spiders?" said the old woman, shaking her head vigorously.
"Then I can't cure it, young man, really. The old man said, "I can tell you this, even if you go to the hospital, you probably won't be cured." ”
"Why?" Qin Kun asked, "I see that you have collected a lot of medicinal herbs, and none of them can be used?"
"Young man, you're thinking too simply. The old man took the cigarette pouch, clicked his lips, shook his head and said, "This antidote herb." Exquisite natural restraint. ”
"Any kind of poison, whether it's a scorpion or a toad, want to find an antidote to it. Just look for it in the area where it lives. ”
"The reason for this is actually quite simple. ”
"You people in the city have a saying called invasive species, right?" said the old man.
"Yes!" Qin Kun nodded.
Invasive species refers to the sudden transfer of an animal to another area, but there is no world in that area, so that there is no limit to reproduction. Affect other local species and ecosystems.
"It's the same with this one. ”
"The reason why some poisons can only survive in a certain mountain bun is because there are things around it that restrain it and contain it, so that it cannot overflow. ”
"Ninety percent of what curbs it is the antidote!"
"The kind of spider you mentioned, my wife and I have not seen it for decades when we went up the mountain to collect medicine, it is not something here, even if I know how to solve it, I don't have medicinal materials. ”
The old man spread his hands: "So, I can't fix it." ”
Upon hearing this, Qin Kun was a little desperate.
"No, uncle, isn't it...... It's just hopeless?"
"Not really. The old man shook his head, and his gaze suddenly looked out the window.
Outside is his yard, and there are several old hens nesting in the yard.
Qin Kun followed him and didn't see anything.
"Don't look at my chickens, young man, look at the mountain on the other side. ”
"Oh?"
"There was a small temple on the back of that mountain. ”
"The temple is quite broken, and it was originally dedicated to the mountain god and the lord of the land. ”
"There's an old man living in that temple, probably about the same age as me, maybe older than me. ”
"Go to him, he might be able to cure this little girl's poison. ”
"What are you talking about?" Qin Kun was stunned.
"Let me repeat that?" asked the old man.
"No!" Qin Kun shook his head, his eyes were very suspicious: "Uncle, what do you mean, the people in the temple are very powerful?"
"Do you doubt this?" The uncle laughed and smiled at Qin Kun: "You can rest assured, that old man is not an ordinary person, he is a master hidden in the deep mountains and old forests!"
After saying goodbye to the old man, Qin Kun carried Lin Yuhan on his back and walked towards the big mountain.
At first, he was very skeptical of the old man's words, but looking at the old man's expression, Qin Kun felt that he had not lied to himself.
Besides, everyone is a stranger, and there is no point in cheating on each other. There is no need for people to lie to themselves.
In addition, Qin Kun felt that this spider should be Jade Niang's.
Since it was poisoned by Yu Niang, there was basically no solution to sending it to the hospital.
Qin Kun knew that Yu Niang was a master of using poison, and ordinary people couldn't save Lin Yuhan at all.
On the contrary, the old man in the old man's mouth made Qin Kun look forward to it.
A master hidden deep in the mountains.
Isn't Hu Yu also such a person?
Right now, Lin Yuhan has a few days to live.
Qin Kun felt that he might as well give it a try.
After carrying Lin Yuhan across the mountain road, Qin Kun saw the small temple behind the mountain.
The small temple was built on a village that had long been deserted, and the grass in the whole village was so tall that it looked like it had been abandoned for at least a dozen years.
When he arrived at the temple gate, Qin Kun held Lin Yuhan's fragrant buttocks with one hand, and knocked on the door with the other.
Knock knock.
After knocking a few times, Qin Kun asked, "Is there anyone?"
Knock knock.
After three more knocks, an old voice suddenly came from behind him, startling him.
"Who are you?"
The old man's voice was very vicissitudes, and there was a faint hoarse feeling in it.
Qin Kun was full of excitement. Hurriedly turned around.
When he saw the old man, he was a little stunned.
The old man was dressed very cleanly and very neatly.
He looked very retro in a white coat, and his white hair was not cut. Instead, he lost a bun on his head, but there were not too many wrinkles on his vicissitudes of life, and a pinch of goatee made him feel a little reclusive.
"Hello old man. My name is Qin Kun, and my sister has been poisoned, can you please help?" Qin Kun said respectfully to the old man.
The old man was also looking at Qin Kun.
At the same time, he also looked at Lin Yuhan behind Qin Kun.
After seeing Lin Yuhan's hands hanging on Qin Kun's shoulders, his pupils shrank slightly.
"How do you know I'm here?" the old man became vigilant. His gaze shifted to Qin Kun's eyes, as if he wanted to see through everything Qin Kun thought in his heart.
"Old man, we don't know you, it's an old man in Liangshui Village who said you can save her. So ......"
"It's the old ginger. When the old man heard this, his vigilance relaxed slightly.
He walked up to Qin Kun's side, stretched out his dry palm, and glanced at Lin Yuhan's arm.
The blue-black bloodstains. It had spread from her fingers to the back of her hand.
"It's Gu Miao's trick again. The old man groaned.
When Qin Kun heard this, he became excited.
The white-haired old man got to the point, obviously knowing a lot about these things.
"Old man, can you save her? Whatever you want? I'll give you everything I can. Qin Kun said happily.
Looking at Qin Kun's happy appearance, the old man's face looked a little displeased.
"Boy, you love your sister very much, don't you?"
"That's right. Qin Kun nodded. There is no denial.
But what he didn't expect was that the old man's next sentence gave him a slap in the face.
"I can indeed save you, but why should I save you?" the old man looked at Qin Kun. Said in an indifferent voice.
"This ......"
Qin Kun was embarrassed, lowered his head and said, "I'll give you money, okay?"
"Do you think that a person like me will send you money in your pocket?" The corner of the old man's mouth showed a look of disdain, obviously money or something was dung in his eyes.
"Then I don't know, but I hope you can save her, she's only twenty-three years old. You can't just die. ”
"Hehe, there are more people who die early in this world, and there are still many unborn fetuses who died early in their mother's womb. ”
"You say that. It doesn't impress me. The old man lifted his sleeve and pushed open the door: "You guys go, I won't save her." ”
After saying that, he walked into the small temple.
Qin Kun carried Lin Yuhan on his back. His brow furrowed.
Why is this man like this?
If you can save it, why don't you take action?
Is it because it's not necessary?
Qin Kun gritted his teeth and immediately knelt down behind the old man: "Old man, please help me." Please, shall I kneel down for you?"
The old man paused for a moment, did not speak, and then walked into a side room.
Qin Kun knelt at the door, the door was open, but he had no way to walk in, because the old man didn't let him in.
The sun was slowly setting towards the west, and the sky was getting darker and darker.
Qin Kun knelt at the door and begged countless times, but the old man had no intention of coming out to help.
Soon, the smell of food came from inside the house.
Qin Kun sniffed this smell and gritted his teeth, put Lin Yuhan back on his back, and left.
looked at Qin Kun's departing back. The old man's face was flat, and he just shook his head slightly.
However.
What he didn't expect was this.
About half an hour after Qin Kun left, he came back again.
This time, Qin Kun came back by himself, and he didn't carry Lin Yuhan on his back.
After coming to the door. Qin Kun knelt down and said to the old man, "Old man, please save Sister Han." ”
"Why did you come back now that you're gone?" asked the old man in the small temple.
"I just sent someone to Liangshui Village, she was poisoned and very weak, and she couldn't rely on me here. Qin Kun lowered his head, put his hands on his legs, and pleaded again: "Please." ”
The old man did not reply.
After a long time, he said coldly: "Then you just kneel, I won't make a move." ”
