Chapter 5: Conspiracy
Following.
As soon as the sun illuminated the earth, several birds squeaked and chirped in the branches beside the hut.
Liu Mu woke up early as usual and sat cross-legged on the bed to cultivate, and recently, Liu Mu has been focusing on source power cultivation and has not continued to cultivate source arts.
"I need to hurry up and enter the Source Person, so that I can greatly improve my combat strength, so that Grandpa can be more comfortable leaving the home to me in the care in the future. ”
Liu Mu knew that the gap between the source and the non-source was very large, and even if he was already in the four veins, he was far inferior to a lowest-level source. Because by becoming a Sourcer, a person's physical fitness will undergo a qualitative change, and he will be extremely strong, and by becoming a Sourcer, he can learn secret techniques, which will once again greatly improve the level of combat.
The progress of his cultivation just now was slightly better than yesterday, which was a good thing for Liu Mu.
"It's better to make progress than to stand still!" thought to himself.
......
After washing and tidying up, Yanagi walked around the cabin, as if looking for something in the house.
"Don't look for it, grandpa has already eaten and gone out. The journey to Bailei Town is long, and he said that he needs to rush to the nearest post station. ”
Liu Yiwei, who was busy in the kitchen, saw this and informed.
"When will Grandpa come back?" asked Willow Wood.
"Hmm~, about five days!" Liu Yiwei thought for a moment and responded to the former.
"It's so far away, has Grandpa prepared the items he needs for shelter and food?" said Liu Mu as if he was a little worried.
"You think it's you, your head is like a piece of wood!" Liu Yiwei said with some good anger when she heard this.
“......”
The willow wood was dumbfounded.
......
Inside another large wooden house.
Two figures sat on two purple wood chairs in the hall. This purple wood chair is smooth and dark and purple, surrounded by a circle of deep wood grains, and it is obvious that the purple wood used is not low.
After a while, a figure walked quickly into the hall from outside the wooden house, and then bowed to the two figures in the hall very respectfully and said, "Master, young master, they have already left the village in Liushan!"
"Okay, I got it. Plankton, stand down!" A skinny middle-aged man commanded with a blank face.
The ruffian slowly exited the hall.
"Dad, it seems that things are as you expected!" The man in Tsing Yi next to him hurriedly spoke.
"Well, it looks like I'm going to have to get some things ready. The skinny middle-aged man still looked calm and calm, but a hint of cruelty in his eyes was a little fleeting.
"Then, what about Liu Yiwei?" the man in Tsing Yi looked expectant.
"Don't worry, it's yours sooner or later!, you just have to do what I tell you to do!" the skinny middle-aged man seemed to know what the former was thinking.
When the man in Tsing Yi heard this, he licked his lips slightly with the tip of his tongue.
......
Five days arrived in the blink of an eye.
The sun is slowly setting, and patches of sunset are spreading from the sky.
In front of a small wooden house, Liu Mu and Liu Yiwei sat side by side on the porch steps, their eyes looking at the entrance of the village from time to time.
"It should be almost there, right?" Liu Mu turned his head to Liu Yiwei next to him.
"Maybe something is delaying on the road. ”
"Wait. ”
As soon as the words fell, the two of them saw several figures appear at the entrance of the village, and then the figures around the village began to quickly converge in that direction.
"It should be grandpa, they are back, let's go over and pick up grandpa!" Seeing this, Liu Yiwei immediately shouted excitedly to Liu Mu.
"Okay, let's go!"
The two of them immediately opened their calves and galloped towards the entrance of the village, looking like two cute puppies who had been guarding their homes for a long time and couldn't wait to run to meet their owners when they saw them come back.
"Grandpa, we're here to pick you up!" shouted the two as they ran.
After a while, the two of them saw more than a dozen figures pushing an open-air carriage, hurrying quickly in their direction.
After Liu Mu and Liu Yiwei ran closer, they looked at more than a dozen familiar figures with anxious and nervous faces, and then quickly looked for their grandfather in the crowd.
"Where's my grandfather? Didn't they come back with you?" Liu Yiwei quickly swept around the people, obviously not seeing the figure she hoped to see.
When these dozen or so figures saw Liu Mu and Liu Yiwei rushing over, they immediately stopped the carriage in their hands, and then the few people in front of the carriage slowly gave way to some space.
At this time, a white-haired old man was lying quietly on the carriage, his lips were white, his eyebrows were purple, and on his wrinkled face, beads of sweat kept coming out, and his expression looked painful.
"My grandfather, what's wrong with him?!" Liu Mu and the two recognized the person in the car at a glance, it was his grandfather, and hurriedly stepped forward and asked very anxiously.
"Amu, Yiwei, your grandfather was poisoned and injured to protect us just now, let's go home first, okay?" a villager who had returned with him hurriedly replied, his words mild with guilt.
When Liu Mu and the two heard this, tears immediately flowed down their eyes.
"Hmm!" the two nodded with sobs.
......
In the cabin, a white-haired old man with a miserable white face and purple hair was lying on the bed, and an old man in a gray robe beside the bed was giving the former a pulse.
This gray-robed old man is a villager from the next village, and he is a doctor, known as Dr. Xu.
At this time, the atmosphere in the room was a little tense and depressing, and the sobs of teenagers and girls sounded from time to time.
After a while, Dr. Xu's hand slowly withdrew his pulse.
"Doctor Xu, how is it?" a skinny middle-aged man next to him hurriedly asked.
"The situation is not optimistic!" said the old man named Doctor Xu with a somewhat solemn face.
"Is there a solution to that?" the skinny middle-aged man heard this, and the worry on his face became a little more intense.
"There are ways, but... Need to prepare something for me. Doctor Xu paused, pondered for a moment and continued.
After speaking, he took out a brush and a piece of white paper from a wooden box that he had brought over, and there was an inkstone beside him, which seemed to contain the black ink that had been grinded.
"This is the prescription, you can prepare it according to this and give it to me, and I will make the antidote. Dr. Xu handed the prescription he had just written in his hand to the skinny middle-aged man.
The skinny middle-aged man carefully took the white paper with a lot of black words written on it, and then carefully scanned it.
The skinny middle-aged man seemed to read it, and said: "Although this antidote requires a lot of medicinal materials, it is still relatively easy to prepare. Merely... This wood spirit grass is a little difficult to find!"
Muling Grass, a low-grade herb, grows in a specific terrain environment, because it is not usually used much and its value is not high, so few people are usually willing to find it and store it.
"It's really scarce, I'm afraid no one in the villages around us will have it. Some of the villagers in the house heard this and began to discuss.
...
All of a sudden, it seemed that everyone was in a bit of a quandary.
"However, I've seen this thing in a place on the outskirts of the Blood Thunder Mountains before, so it must be true. Seeing that everyone was in trouble, the skinny middle-aged man pondered for a while and said slowly.
"Now the situation is urgent, you have to go back quickly, get this thing!" the skinny middle-aged man continued seriously, and then looked slightly at the willow tree that looked at him with an eager look.
"Uncle Zhu, I'll go! I'm familiar with the periphery, and I'm running fast!" Liu Mu walked towards Zhu Li when he heard this, and hurriedly asked Ren Dao.
"You're still young, let's go Uncle Zhu. Zhu Li hesitated for a moment and replied.
"Uncle Zhu, you can leave it to me, I also want to contribute to my grandfather!" Liu Mu looked at the former with firm and persistent eyes.
"Okay then!" Zhu Li had no choice but to agree, and then asked Doctor Xu to borrow a brush and white paper to depict the location of the wood spirit grass on the white paper and hand it to Liu Mu.
The latter took the white paper, turned around and galloped towards somewhere on the outskirts of the Blood Thunder Mountain Range.
Zhu Li saw that the delicate girl next to him wanted to keep up, and hurriedly said: "Yiwei, don't go with you, the situation is urgent, it's better to let Liu Mu go and come back quickly." ”
"Yes, Yiwei, it's better to let Brother Liu go and come back quickly! You are responsible for staying and taking care of Grandpa Liu. A man in Tsing Yi next to Zhu Li hurriedly explained.
"Hmm. Hearing this, Liu Yiwei looked at the white-haired old man on the bed, and took back the little foot she had just taken.
"Wentong, you take the ruffian to our warehouse to find these two medicinal materials, there should be some left. For the rest, I will arrange for the villagers to help prepare. As soon as Liu Yiwei's words fell, Zhu Li instructed the man in Tsing Yi next to him.
"Okay! I'll go!"
After speaking, Zhu Wentong hurriedly turned around and walked out of the wooden house, and the ruffian beside him hurriedly followed.
"I'll hand over the rest of the medicinal herbs to you!" Zhu Li said, looking at the surrounding villagers and hugging his fists.
If it hadn't been for Liu Laoqing's efforts to protect us just now, I'm afraid we would all have been killed by those bandits!" said some of the villagers who came back with them.
When everyone heard this, their palms involuntarily clenched into fists, obviously a little resentful.
Next, Zhu Li instructed the villagers to prepare the remaining medicinal materials, and things were going on in an orderly manner.
"Thank you, Uncle Zhu!"
After Liu Yiwei saw that Zhu Li had been busy running for her family, she thanked the latter.
"What are you polite to Uncle Zhu, you all grew up watching me!" Zhu Li heard this, and hurriedly said that this was what he, an elder, should do.
"Hmm. ”
