Chapter 279: The Little Kite of the Initiative
Linhuang Town is a border town, built on the mountain, scattered with hundreds of households.
There are only two long streets in the town, along which are small shops, traditional storefronts, and traditional signboards, making people think that they have returned to a hundred years ago.
The town has no special features, such as an old castle, a magnificent gatehouse, etc., and the only characteristic is poverty.
The reason why it can gather people here and form a market town is because it is close to the wilderness. In the wilderness, there are a large number of plants and animals that are not found in other places.
Since ancient times, the people here have survived on the wilderness. They collected medicine and hunted in the wilderness, and sold them to merchants from the north.
Li Muchen stood at the entrance of the town, and from here, the whole picture of Linhuang Town was at a glance.
Behind him was a road that was not a highway, winding and winding into the clouds in the distance.
This road is the only connection between Linhuang Town and the outside world, and it is also the lifeblood of Linhuang Town.
An ox cart approached the road, and the driver seemed to be in a hurry, whipping him incessantly.
And the cow, which was obviously a little old, exhaled a heavy breath from the nostrils of the leash, and walked unhurriedly.
The ox cart drove slowly past Li Muchen.

In addition to the middle-aged man driving the cart, there were two people sitting on the ox cart, a middle-aged woman and a little girl.
The little girl was lying in the woman's arms, her face was blue, her lips were purple, and her body was still trembling.
Li Muchen noticed that the little girl's entire calf was swollen, and there were two small black spots on her ankles.
This should be a snake bite.
However, Li Muchen soon discovered that something was wrong.
The divine sense swept over, and a layer of cold aura was attached to the little girl's body.
This is by no means your average snake venom.
"Hey, wait a minute!" Li Muchen shouted.
The middle-aged man who was driving the car didn't mean to stop, and still whipped "deservedly".
Li Muchen grabbed the wheel.
The old cow took a few steps, finally stopped, mooed, looked back at his master, and seemed to say, I really can't pull it.
The middle-aged man looked at Li Muchen and roared angrily: "What are you doing?"
The woman in the car looked at him angrily.
Li Muchen pointed to the little girl in the car and said, "She has snake venom and needs to be treated immediately." β
"Who doesn't know that she was bitten by a snake, don't delay her treatment!" said the man, and went to drive the cattle again.
Li Muchen said: "I can treat her." β
The man stopped and asked, "Are you a doctor?"
Li Muchen shook his head and said, "I'm not, but I can cure it." β
The man looked at him suspiciously: "Who are you from, why haven't I seen you?"
Li Muchen said: "I just came, this is Linhuang Town, right?"
"You newcomer to the countryside are bragging nonsense, don't delay us to find a doctor!" said the man.
The little girl groaned and called "Mommy".
The woman in the car hugged the little girl tightly and urged anxiously: "What nonsense to talk to him, hurry up and find Dr. Ye!"
The man snapped his whip and struck it heavily on the ox.
Li Muchen saw that people didn't appreciate it, so naturally he couldn't force it up.
However, the little girl's snake venom was very strange, and he decided to go with him.
If it is cured, it will be fine, if it is not cured, he still has to take action, and he can't see death without help.
So, Li Muchen followed.
The speed of the old cow is slow, and the whip of the driver is crackling, but it is not as fast as the young man walking.
When the woman saw Li Muchen following behind the ox cart, her eyes were full of surprise, and she whispered to the man who was driving the cart: "Her father, look ......."
The driver glanced back: "What's the matter?"
"What are the strangers doing with us?" I heard that several girls in the former town have disappeared, will they ......?" said the woman, in a low voice, not without concern.
The driver also showed a bit of fierceness on his face: "I'm here, don't be afraid!"
He whipped a few more whips on the back of the ox, and when he saw that the old cow was still slow, he simply stopped, jumped off the ox cart, walked to Li Muchen, pointed at it with a whip and said:
"What are you doing with us?"
Li Muchen was surprised and said, "I'll go to the town, it seems to be the only way, right?"
The man thought about it, as if this was really the way to enter the town, and he was speechless for a while.
The woman urged, "Oh, you go down and talk and do something, hurry up and go!
The man pointed at Li Muchen with a whip here: "Don't do bad things, otherwise, I will go to the town to report to the official to arrest you!"
Glaring viciously, he jumped into the ox cart and continued on his way.
Li Muchen was made to cry and laugh, but he didn't expect to be regarded as a bad guy when he first came.
The ox cart entered the town from the side street, turned a corner in the center of the town, and turned into the straight street. After walking along the straight street, I stopped in front of a shop.
Li Muchen glanced up at the signboard on the shop - Baiyun Pharmacy.
It turned out that the doctor they were looking for was Ye Zhenghong, the owner of the pharmacy introduced to him by Baishi Dao.
It's really fateful!
The man who was driving the car parked the car, and the woman got out of the car with the child in her arms and walked into the Baiyun Pharmacy.
Li Muchen also followed.
The storefront of Baiyun Pharmacy is relatively wide on the street, and the faΓ§ade of the three-bay room is still with a yard inside.
As soon as the woman entered the door, she shouted anxiously: "Doctor Ye, save my baby!
There were a lot of people sitting in the shop, and they couldn't sit on the two rows of benches, and some of them were sitting on the ground.
As soon as the woman came in with the little girl in her arms, someone said, "Yes, there is another one!
The woman hurriedly said, "The baby was bitten by a snake, so it's in a hurry!"
The others said, "They were all bitten by snakes!"
"Huh?" the woman was taken aback, and then she noticed that several of the people sitting there were blue faces and swollen legs and feet.
Li Muchen was also very surprised.
He glanced at it, and together with the little girl who had just arrived, there were six patients, all of whom had been bitten by snakes.
How could so many people be bitten by snakes at the same time in such a small place?
And the symptoms are exactly the same, as far as the divine sense sees, there is a layer of cold poison other than snake venom, attached to the body.
Apparently, these people were all bitten by the same snake.
In the corner of the room on the left there is a small bed, on which a patient lies.
Next to him, a middle-aged doctor in his fifties was applying ointment to a patient's leg.
Li Muchen guessed that this doctor was probably Ye Zhenghong, the owner of the pharmacy.
The woman who had just arrived saw that Dr. Ye was applying medicine to others, and she was anxious, and she had no choice but to sit down and wait.
Someone next to them comforted them: "Don't worry, Dr. Ye is very powerful, apply medicine, and it will be fine in two days." In the past few days, there have been more than a dozen snake bites, all of which have been cured by Dr. Ye. β
But the woman was relieved.
The patients were wilting and silent, but the guests were chatting loudly, all talking about how powerful Dr. Ye was, as if as long as Dr. Ye was there, there was no incurable disease.
Except for the driver and the woman who had just come in, no one seemed to notice his presence.
Li Muchen stood there and watched for a while.
Ye Zhenghong's steps to treat patients are very routine, that is, to check the part of the snake bite, cut the wound with a knife, release some black blood, and then clean the wound and apply medicine to the wound.
Then a prescription, herbs and plasters, are prescribed for the patient to take home for internal and external application.
It also looked very simple, and the patient's complexion improved significantly under his treatment.
Li Muchen suddenly spoke: "Doctor Ye, this medicine can drive away snake venom, but it can't drive away the yin evil that is attached to the bones. You can add a little yang grass to the ointment, and then use acupuncture to drive away yin and evil, and you can be cured. β
Ye Zhenghong turned his head, looked at him, and asked, "Who are you?"
That's when people noticed his presence.
The woman with the little girl pointed at Li Muchen and said, "This person has been following us just now, sneaky, not like a good person!"
