0029 Return to Asakusa
"Uncle Hai! Uncle Hai! Come and help!" As soon as he arrived at the entrance of the village, the sweaty young man shouted at the top of his voice.
The air in the autumn evening is extremely hot, and most of the old and young masters who are finished with farming are wearing only a shoulder and holding a fan to sit under the big tree at the entrance of the village to enjoy the shade.
One of the middle-aged strong men turned his head when he heard someone calling him.
Seeing the sweaty young man coming out of the woods, he smiled heartily: "Pi Wazi, what good things did you get on the mountain?"
So saying, he got up and walked in the direction of the young man.
After walking a few steps, I saw an old man staggering from the forest, so he said, "Uncle Zhou is also here." β
"Hmm!"
The old man answered, and as the distance approached, the middle-aged strong man also saw the situation clearly, and it turned out that there was a person on the back of this leather baby.
"How can you carry someone out of the mountains?" thought to the middle-aged strong man.
Old Man Zhou is the only doctor in the village, and the only one who can find a way to the town.
And he is a blacksmith, usually striking iron is indispensable to get injured, asked to the old man Zhou's head, to the old man Zhou's grandfather and grandson, he has always respected, so he didn't ask more, walked over to pick up the young man on the baby, and then turned the road and walked towards the old man Zhou's house.
When he arrived at the house, he put the injured young man down, and he was about to leave, but he saw Old Man Zhou take out some medicine from the back hall and hand it to him: "You don't see this." β
"What's the mystery in this?"
The middle-aged man thought, but smiled hahaha:
"Uncle Zhou, you are polite, just now Pi Wazi picked a few good medicines from the mountain, knowing that I have a fever, didn't this let me come over and take a look, I don't know anything else. β
said, without waiting for Old Man Zhou to send it, he went out by himself.
Pi Wazi followed out and closed the firewood, and then returned to the house: "Grandpa, grandpa, what's wrong with Brother Li Yu?"
"It depends on the situation, it should be a fall injury!" Old Man Zhou picked up the brush, wrote a prescription, and gave a few more instructions, and took the baby out of the door to decoction the medicine.
When Pi Wazi was gone, he locked the door, and then carefully took out a gray package from the crack in the wall, and opened it carefully, revealing a few silver needles inside.
This injury is not for him to be careless.
Li Yu's skin injury was true, but there was some strange energy left in the internal organs.
The aura of this kind of energy is somewhat like divine energy, and it is extremely similar to dark energy.
He kept this aura secretive, and this aura always reminded him of the days of his escape, and the weirdness and ominousness that pressed on all beings.
Piercing the silver needle into the Shimen acupoint, the energy with the taste of dark energy suddenly leaked out, and Li Yu's face was also ruddy.
This undoubtedly confirmed his guess, his face was cloudy, and the silver needle that was raised high hung above Li Yu's eyebrows, but it never pierced.
"Bang, bang, bang!"
There was a sound of slamming the door outside the house, and Old Man Zhou put down the silver needle in his hand, but he was also sweating profusely, and his fingers were trembling slightly.
opened the door, and Pi Wazi showed his head: "Grandpa, the horse chestnut flower is gone, can you replace it with other herbs." β
"Horse chestnut is the main medicine, and it cannot be replaced. He thought about it, and told Pi Wazi not to decoct the medicine first, and asked him to go to the stable to bring the horse to prepare: "Let's go to the town." β
After a while, Pi Wazi prepared the cart, took Li Yu out of the house and put him in the carriage, got some bedding and leaned on it, and immediately acted as a coachman.
I don't know why, obviously his ancestors were doctors, and his grandfather was a doctor, but he didn't like to be a doctor, but he was quite concerned about everything other than being a doctor.
Seeing this, Old Man Zhou shook his head and climbed onto the cart.
"Drive!"
With a slightly immature long drink, the horse neighed and embarked on the journey.
The road to Asakusa Town was behind Old Man Zhou's house, so the two of them did not cross the village.
Along the way, there were some rice-scented sorghum at first, and as I walked, I was surrounded by jungle, and the young man's temperament was always fickle, and he got bored and jumped back on the board when he looked around as a groom.
Seeing the situation, the old man Zhou took the reins and continued to catch up with the horse, as if he was not surprised by such a scene.
"Last time I heard Uncle Hai say that the road to Asakusa Town is not easy to find, and it is always easy to get lost in the forest, grandpa, how do you ensure that you can find the right way every time you go to the town?"
The boy picked up a branch and kept beating the grasshopper on the side of the road to see if it was jumping.
"Grandpa naturally has a way. The old man didn't want to say much about this, and concentrated on driving the carriage, turning his head from time to time to look at Li Yu, who was still unconscious on the cart.
said that Li Yu on the board car, if you look closely, you will find that his face is gradually a little ruddy.
He experimented with his previous ideas.
Since the little finger strengthened alone was able to resist the attraction coming from the dantian without being damaged, then by using the aura of heaven and earth to strengthen every part of his body to resist the attraction from the dantian, the problem he encountered would naturally be solved.
But everything is not as simple as he imagined.
After nearly two hours of strengthening, he completed the strengthening of the little finger of his right hand and the little toe of his left foot.
What he began to think about was to complete the entire strengthening of his left hand, but there seemed to be some kind of restriction on strengthening the two adjacent parts, and when he strengthened his ring finger, he was actually hit by a lot of backlash, and the current situation was just helpless.
Because half of the silk thread of consciousness was lost, and the other half was all on the strengthening of the body, Li Yu didn't know that he had been moved away from that mountain col, and he kept thinking in his heart that he couldn't break through the barrier of the outside world and wanted to recover again.
The carriage moved leisurely through a forest mist, and suddenly appeared under a cliff.
After walking along the path on the cliff wall for a while, the image of a small town looms ahead.
Entering the town, there was no longer the same lively scene as before, the houses were dilapidated, the broken walls, and the burnt pillars were charred and blackened.
"What's wrong with Asakusa Town?" When he first saw this scene, Old Man Zhou was suddenly stunned.
He has an extremely secretive and important role in Asakusa Town, and generally does not leave the village unless he has a special reason.
But after only four months of not being seen, how did Asakusa Town be destroyed in one fell swoop.
Pi Wazi was also stunned by this sight.
He had been to Asakusa Town, the town was thriving, far more prosperous than the village, knowing that he liked to do business, Li Yu's brother also drew a god holding a jewel on his grandfather's back, everything was not like what he was looking like.
"Grandpa, what's wrong?" he asked.
"Don't talk!" Old Man Zhou controlled his expression for a moment, pulled the reins with one hand, trembled slightly with the other, took a gray-black package in his sleeve in his hand, and continued to catch the car: "Don't look around, sit quietly in the carriage, and pretend that you don't know anything." β
After a while, he said, "Play with the branches in your hand, just like you did in the forest." β
Pi Wazi was baffled by everything, the town in front of him was obviously the same as before, how could he pretend not to see it?
Moreover, he was suddenly asked to play with the branch in his hand, and he had never played with it, so how did he know how to play itβit was not that he had never played it, but he naturally played with him, and let him pretend to play with the branch was really embarrassing him.
But he knows that his grandfather usually looks amiable, and he is not soft at all when he fights people.
Thinking of the scar on his buttocks, he didn't know what he meant, but he did as he did, and the branches on his hands slapped the air again and again.
The carriage passed through the town and headed in the other direction of the town.
Did the old man Zhou shout a few times, accompanied by a few melodious inexplicable songs, like a normal old man in a mountain village:
"Do you say that you have no clothes? Wang Yuxingshi, repair my spear. Enmity with the Son!"
"How can you say that you have no clothes? Wang Yuxingshi, repair my spear halberd. Work with the son!"
"Commander Prosius, do you want to kill this man?" In the dark corner deep in the jungle, an Odeh soldier whispered to the dwarf carrying a giant hammer in front of him.
"Let him go first. The dwarf stroked his braided beard and said, "These two don't look like they're related to Asakusa." β
"Even if it's really related, it can be used as bait to lure snakes out of their holes!"
"Send a few men and follow them. β
"Yes, my lord!" the Odd soldier took the order and whispered a few words to the person behind him, and the man ran to the hole behind him, and after a while, two sturdy gray-clothed men came out of the hole and chased in the direction of Old Man Zhou.
Old Man Zhou's eyes looked around, and he had already noticed the situation here, but he pretended not to know and continued to drive the horse forward.
About a kilometer out of the village, a waterhole appeared on the side of the road.
Old Man Zhou didn't know when he took out a hanging wire silver needle and stabbed it at the horse's leg.
The horse was frightened, and under the guidance of Old Man Zhou's pretended panicked reins, he actually ran in the direction of the waterhole and jumped into it at once.
The two spies who followed him, regardless of whether they were exposed, also jumped into the pool.
At the bottom of the pond there was a river leading to the Sopotaya Sea, which they had already explored.
At the bottom of the pool, the simple floor car was torn to pieces by the current, and the white horse was stuck at the outlet of the dark river, but the old man and the young man were all gone.
"What to do?" asked one of the spies.
"You go back and report to the commander first, and I'll investigate here. Another spy said.
After one of the spies left, the other spies made a few more laps along the bottom of the pool, but the pool was unremarkable, just like a normal puddle.
The secret passage in the pond is only two or three wide, which should not be able to accommodate large-scale migration, besides, this secret passage is hundreds of kilometers long, he doesn't believe that anyone can hold his breath for so long, unless everyone in this Asakusa town is a god cultivator.
But how is this possible!
Seeing that he could not find any useful information, and could not figure out the joints, the spies immediately went ashore, and after a while, the dwarf rushed over with dozens of people, and called more than a dozen men to dig into the ground and search carefully, but they could not find anything abnormal, so they returned to the edge of the cave before and continued to carry out the task given to him by the baron.
