Yang Xianmao didn't explain, lifted the two of them up one by one, and returned to Luo Xiaomei with a few quick jumps. Throwing the two men on the ground, he said, "I have caught two people who are pretending to be ghosts, but it seems that there is no real malice towards us, and I have not had time to examine them in detail." ”

Yang Xianmao looked at the two of them again and said, "Call out the other few of your accomplices, if you want to live." ”

The two hurriedly agreed, and one of them shouted: "You all come out, the young man is a good person and will not hurt us." ”

Yang Xianmao kicked him in the waist and said, "Who told you that I won't hurt you?" unless you can prove that you are indeed good people. ”

The man hurriedly begged for mercy and vigorously defended, and then a few more people came from the bushes, all carrying bamboo poles and clothes hanging on them, and the group came to the tree. At this time, the moonlight was dimly sprinkled, and it was completely clear what they looked like. Several of them showed a look of cowardice and fear, wearing coarse blue shirts, and seemed to be ordinary people.

Yang Xianmao said: "What the hell is going on with you? ”

First, an old man bowed his waist and laughed with him: "The young man is angry, and we have no choice but to do it." We're a family together, and we don't know where we're going to flee to this chaos. So we hid in the mountains. A few days ago, sometimes the Jin army passed by, and sometimes there was our Song army. Of course we didn't dare to mess with them when we found out today, and they didn't find out about us either. It was those Song soldiers, at first we thought they were good people, and came out to greet them, but we didn't expect to be robbed by them. Thankfully, we hid all our valuables. We were so scared that from then on, whenever anyone stopped on the hill, we would pretend to be a ghost to scare them away. We really have no choice but to do it, the young man is angry. ”

Yang Xianmao said: "I don't believe it just to hear you say this, take us to the place where you live, and I will ask you about your situation." Rest assured, if it is what you say, we will not embarrass you. We were just passing by here, the old man was sick and he also needed a good place to rest. We have our own food, and we will not rob you. ”

The old man had already seen that the person lying on the ground was also an ordinary person, and although this Yang Xianmao was strong in martial arts, he was also kind in his speech. So he nodded boldly, after all, he had no choice. He beckoned the others to help the two companions who were injured in the legs, and the other two came to help Luo Laohan, and pointed to the front and said that there was a cave in front of them, and they lived in the cave.

Yang Xianmao was on guard along the way, for fear that these people would use some tricks, although he had not found such an attempt in his observation just now.

After a while, we came to the bottom of a cliff, where there was a high cave, and under the shade of the trees, only a hidden hole was exposed, and the light of the fire came from it. Yang Xianmao and his party entered the cave, which was quite spacious, and there were several bonfires. The bonfire in the middle of the cave was surrounded by some people, both men and women, who were looking at Yang Xianmao and them in horror.

The old man was busy explaining that it was all a misunderstanding, but in fact, the young man was a good person. Of course he has to say this, otherwise once this young man with strong martial arts makes a ruthless move, he is afraid that no one here will survive. In this time of chaos, no one cares about killing people.

Yang Xianmao glanced at it and saw that these people were really ordinary people, and no one knew martial arts from the point of view of their figures, so he was a little relieved and arched his hand: "I'm sorry, we passed by here, and just now because of a little misunderstanding, we hurt your two brothers." We're just resting at your place tonight, and we'll be out tomorrow morning. ”

Hearing Yang Xianmao's polite words, these people were a little relieved. Then two women came over to help make the bed and helped Luo Laohan to lie down by the campfire. The old man asked with concern, "Is this old brother sick?" ”

Yang Xianmao said in a deep voice: "No, he inadvertently stepped on the iron triangle poison sprinkled on the city wall, I heard that this poison has no cure, I really don't know what to do." ”

The old man sighed, stroked his gray beard, pondered for a moment, and said, "I know that the poison on this iron triangle is called gold dust, which is a strange gold powder, and it is a chronic poison concocted on the sharp iron of the triangle by the potion. ”

Yang Xianmao was overjoyed and hurriedly said: "What you said is completely correct, it turns out that the old man knows how to detoxify?"

The old man shook his head slightly and said, "That's not it, but I've heard that this poison doesn't actually come from the Middle Earth, but from the Western Regions." This refining method also comes from the Western Regions, and the method of detoxification is only known to the people of the Western Regions. Very few people use this poison, so the way to detoxify it is not that there is no one, but that many people do not know it. ”

Yang Xianmao couldn't help but be overjoyed when he heard this, bowed down and said, "Old man, do you know how to detoxify this poison?"

"I once followed a caravan to the Great Food Country of the Western Regions to do business, and I came and went for several years, and I saw people in the Great Food Country who used this kind of gold dust to temper bows and arrows. Because the poison is a chronic poison and the antidote is not easy to find, and at the same time, the poisoned person is also incapacitated, forcing the enemy to leave someone to take care of them. And it can also consume each other's food, which can be described as killing multiple birds with one stone. Therefore, the army often likes to use this poison to quench bows and arrows, but I don't know how it came to our Great Song Dynasty. ”

Yang Xianmao was a little anxious when he heard this, and hurriedly asked him: "You said that the antidote to this poison is not easy to find?

The old man said: "In my opinion, it is not easy to find, but with your skills, it must not be a difficult task." ”

Yang Xianmao saw that he was talking heavily, and immediately understood, and looked back at Luo Dakuang, and Luo Dakuang also immediately understood. Quickly unwrapped the package and took out the money bag, touched a small ingot of silver and came out, and gave the silver to the old man, Yang Xianmao said: "I won't ask for your prescription for nothing, I don't know if this silver is enough to buy your prescription? ”

In fact, that ingot of silver was at least five taels, which was quite tempting for these poor people. The old man was very satisfied, and hurriedly took it with a smile. When the other people saw that he dared to ask for a reward from this young man with strong martial arts, they couldn't help but admire the courage of this old man, and at the same time sweated. In case this young man gets angry because of this, not only will the old man suffer, but I am afraid that others will also be unlucky. Fortunately, this young man seemed to be very reasonable, not only did he not get angry, but he also took a sum of silver to buy this recipe, which was relieved.

The old man didn't dare to hide the silver anymore, and said with a smile: "This recipe uses two kinds of medicine, but it is not herbs, but the meat of two animals. Stir the meat of these two animals together, chop it into minced pieces, eat half of it, and apply the other half to the wound, and it will heal in no time. And I saw that they had used it, and that they had healed those who had been struck by arrows. ”

"Those two animals?"

The old man frowned slightly when he saw Yang Xianmao, knowing that he was a little impatient, so he stopped selling Guanzi, and said bluntly: "One is called the Golden Snake, which is produced in the Western Regions, and its body is golden, and it can even release a faint golden yellow in the moonlight, which is very recognizable." This kind of snake is very difficult to see, there is no such snake in Middle-earth, only in the Western Regions. And this kind of snake is very rare, because the color is the same as gold, it is very popular with those dignitaries, so the price is extremely expensive, and ordinary people can't afford it. ”

"What about the other animal?

"The other is called the partridge, the snowy mountain partridge to be exact. However, ordinary partridges live in the hot grass, and the reason why this partridge is called the snowy mountain partridge is because it lives in the snowy region, and they can only find food in the snow. If you put it in a place where there is no snow, you will become mentally exhausted and gradually die. Therefore, this kind of partridge is difficult to raise in our Central Plains, and it is not easy to obtain. ”

Yang Xianmao nodded slowly, these two kinds of medicine are from the Western Regions, and the antidote is also from the Western Regions, no wonder there is no cure for this poison in the Great Song Dynasty. Because even if you know that there is an antidote, but you can't get the antidote, what is the difference between it and no cure?

Luo Xiaomei and Luo Dakuang both looked at Yang Xianmao pitifully, hoping that he could find these two antidotes to cure this poison for his father. What Yang Xianmao thought in his heart was that he had not been to the Western Regions himself, but if this was really the case, then he would only have to go to the Western Regions. It's just that the Western Regions are far away, and if you bring the old man and the two of them, it will be very hard. But if you don't bring it, you go alone, and you don't know where to find these two things without the Dapeng bird. He may not be able to come back for a while, and Luo Laohan is only afraid that he won't be able to survive for that long.

Yang Xianmao fell into deep thought, not knowing what to do. Seeing that Yang Xianmao didn't react more to his words, the old man just bowed his head there and didn't say anything, and couldn't help but feel a little stunned in his heart. I thought that this young man would not give himself the money first, and when he got the answer, he would use force to take it back. But if he really wanted to, there was nothing he could do. Because these people are not his opponents even if they are combined, they can only see if God pities them and don't let this young man be unfavorable to them.

While Yang Xianmao was muttering, a thin young man with a black face and a thin body said in a timid voice: "It seems that there is such a thing in the palace." ”

Yang Xianmao couldn't help but be overjoyed, and hurriedly asked, "How do you know?"

When the young man saw Yang Xianmao asking him, he couldn't help but feel a little nervous. Hiding behind a middle-aged woman, but the flush of the white skin on the back of his neck made it clear at a glance that his face was deliberately smeared with pot ash or something to hide his true appearance.

And listening to her voice, Yang Xianmao knew that she should be a girl, just for the convenience of the road, or for fear that the gangsters would see the evil intentions, she deliberately pretended to be a teenager and painted her face with pot ash.

So Yang Xianmao slowed down his voice and said, "This little brother, please tell me, how do you know that there is such an animal in the palace?"

Yang Xianmao deliberately used a male title like little brother, as if he didn't recognize the other party as a girl.
