Where does the end of this dark stone path lead? How long will it take to walk before it ends, Luo Xiyu is alone in the dark stone road, and his hands keep groping on the stone wall to move forward, getting deeper and deeper, as if there is no end.

The aunt said that this road was for purchasing, but why was the wall full of thick moss growing in the dark, and the hands were slippery when touched, Luo Xiyu didn't know what his right hand was like now, but his hands were full of the sinister smell of moss.

Not only the walls, but also the ground, if this hole was just opened, then the wall is damp and mossy is reasonable, but shouldn't someone have stepped on it under her feet, why did she walk like stepping on oil, slipping and slipping, and she almost fell to the ground a few times.

But there was no light in the cave at all, she had just touched the baggage, and there was no fire fold or anything to illuminate, so she had to do it because she could not find out.

Because she couldn't go back, she had to grit her teeth and walk forward, she didn't know how long, only that her feet were so tired, her shoes seemed to have been soaked with water, the hole was wet and cold, she was sweating, and her feet were uncomfortably swollen.

But there was no watch, no hourglass, and no place to rest, so she could only walk forward with her eyes closed, even if her tired thighs trembled, she had to move forward step by step.

The fatigue of this body, if it was in the past, she would have been unable to stop and find a place to rest, but now, because there is anger in her heart and hatred in her heart, it seems to give her great courage, she gritted her teeth, endured and endured, she wants to get out of this dark path, this is the way for Jian Wu and Jian Ten to give her a life, and her aunt risked her to send her a burden, so, for them, she must also live, and she must not die as the man wished.

Not only does she not want to die, but she wants to live better, and she wants to live better than him......

Because of this thought, she kept moving with her increasingly tired body, and against the fear of the unknown in the depths of endless darkness.

Although I couldn't see with my eyes, I could still feel that it was going down at first, slowly flattening out, and as I walked deeper and deeper, the slope of the road was always upward, because it was a city, and every step was extremely difficult to walk, the moss was damp, and my feet were frequently slippery.

The previous three steps, at this time, can only be taken in one step, almost step by step is difficult.

Luo Xiyu was so tired that he couldn't walk at all, and he was still carrying a burden on his body, his shoulders seemed to be worn out, the fire was burning and painful, and his stomach was even more hungry and uncomfortable, and he had no strength at all.

I only ate a piece of dim sum in the morning, plus I was exhausted, and I was tired, and she didn't pay attention to it a few times, and her feet slipped and fell to the ground in the dark, and her knees hurt like pins and needles.

After falling several times, she almost couldn't get up in pain, and finally touched a protruding stone wall, and she panted and puffed off a petticoat hem from the hem of her skirt several times before tearing off a petticoat, and then leaned on the stone, and then limped down with her hands on the stone wall.

After Luo Xiyu sat down, he rubbed his knees, sweating from his forehead in pain, and he didn't care if his hands were clean or not, after wiping it on the petticoat, he groped for a magnolia, half-gasped and stuffed it into his mouth and chewed it, until he swallowed it, and he felt that the pain in his knees was better for a while.

She touched her shriveled stomach, then reached out in the dark, groped for the burden on her shoulder, and sure enough, as her aunt said, she touched a piece of cloth wrapped food and the like, unbuttoned it, Luo Xiyu touched a long strip that seemed to be a snack or something, she couldn't help but take it out and send it to her mouth with some urgency.

I was so hungry that as soon as the dim sum entered the breath, I chewed it a few times and swallowed it, probably because I was too hungry when I was fleeing, so she had a special interest in food after that, and she was extremely impatient with hunger, and she had to have a snack by her side all the time to feel safe.

This piece of dim sum is nothing else, it is the date cake, when it is made with extreme care, but at this time it is sweet in the mouth, bitter in the heart, and while eating, she can't help but have water droplets flowing down her face, and the more she chokes, the more she gulps down.

It wasn't until I ate five pieces in one breath that I stopped, wiped the tears from my face with my sleeve, struggled to get up, and finally had some strength after eating, plus I ate magnolia flowers for a while, and my ankles and knees didn't seem to hurt so much.

She held a breath in her heart, it seemed to be an obsession to get out of here alive, and she even gave up resting, she wrapped the petticoat strips horizontally around her shoes, so that she could walk more steadily, and she pressed the uneven stone wall with her hands, and walked forward step by step.

The stone cave is getting steeper and steeper, and it is becoming more and more difficult to walk, and a trace of hope rises in Luo Xiyu's heart, whether the steep is extending to the ground, and if he walks again, he may be able to walk out in the next moment.

In the silent darkness, she was the only one breathing, enduring the smell of moss on the wall, and the disgusting feeling of the wriggling insects in her hands, constantly lifting her heavy and tired legs, and walking up hard.

……

There are many villages in Yeshan in the East Prison, and the big families that have lasted for hundreds of years are scattered in the surrounding villages, and the cemeteries of each clan alone occupy an entire mountain.

Po Chaoyang, backed by the mountain is a good feng shui, are occupied by the big family, the shade is poor, but there is no waste, there is a grave in the depression, some outsiders in the village, or people who died can not enter the clan, most of them are buried here.

At this time, several men and women were kneeling there, burning paper money and crying in low voices.

At this time, when the sun was setting, and the family had burned all the paper money, the woman put the sacrifice back in the same way, probably kneeling for too long, and when she got up, the figure of the woman with a white cloth on her head shook unsteadily.

Her eyes were red and swollen from crying, and she wiped her eyes with her sleeve, and when she looked up, she saw that something seemed to be wriggling in a mound not far away.

Then I saw a gray-green slimy human hand sticking out of the ground.

Now it was the time of sunset, and the light was already extremely dim, and when the woman saw it, her hand patting the ashes on her body stopped, and the whole person seemed to be pointed, and she thought that she was dazzled.

But when the two hands were stretched out, and then the head of a woman with a cloak and a face as white as paper appeared, the woman suddenly screamed "ah", and knocked the basket of food on her wrist to the ground.

"Hell, ghost, ghost......" the woman cried out as if she were crazy.

"What the hell, what the hell, your daughter-in-law is crazy!" It was already sunset, the crows on the trees were chirping, and the family had just died, so there was a ghost, a ghost, and the old man couldn't help but want to scold.

But he didn't want to follow his daughter-in-law's hand to look there, and when he saw the woman in white struggling to come out of the grave, not to mention this sixty-year-old man, even the old man's son was so frightened that he even dropped the shovel.

Two men and a woman ran away as if they had seen a ghost.

And the person they saw in front of them was actually not a ghost, but Luo Xiyu.

After walking for a long time, when she finally saw the glimmer of light above, she was so excited, her tired body instantly seemed to surge out of a force, and she even climbed on the stone ridge to drill up, she knew that beyond the light was the ground, and she no longer had to stay in this kind of place where she couldn't see her fingers.

She stretched out hard, then stretched out the dirt outside, ignoring the wetness of the dirt, her white face desperately drilled her head out, and then sat on the ground with her entire upper body.

At this moment, the beautiful woman, dressed in a white gauze dress with elaborate ornamentation, embroidered with silver threads, and a hollowed-out flower belt around her waist, looked more miserable than in the rain.

The hair was wet and clinging to the face, the white clothes were stained with moss, and the whole white gauze skirt was like a piece of torn linen at this time, torn one by one, not to mention Luo Xiyu's miserable white face, the skin can be as white as jade, and it is more like a ghost when there is no blood, especially in the cemetery, from the life that crawled out of the grave, it is like a female corpse.

She crawled out like this, and the few people who burned the paper screamed in fear, and she was also startled by the scream.

She thought of countless possibilities, but she didn't expect that the end of this cave was actually a cemetery, she looked up at the sky, it had already begun to darken, I was afraid that in less than two moments, it would be dark, and she remembered that before she entered, the first sun had just risen.

She walked for a day, from sunrise to sunset.

The cemetery was always a little colder than other places, and she was soaked, so she couldn't help but shiver, and looked around, except for the graves, there was nothing else.

Looking at the graves and white tombs, Luo Xiyu no longer had the heart to sit on the ground and breathe fresh air, she hurriedly climbed out with the burden on her chest.

This stood up, almost fell to the ground with a weak knee, this physique is so weak, running for a day went to half a life, fortunately there is a magnolia flower can be repaired, otherwise I am afraid that a day and a night may not be able to come out, and I am tired to death in it.

There is a road in this cemetery, Luo Xiyu heard that there were people here just now, and saw that there was a new grave with new ashes for burning paper money, and overturned baskets and bowls, so she knew that this place should not be too far from the village, so she hurriedly walked in the direction where those people were walking.

After taking a few steps, I didn't want to look down, and I almost fainted.

What is that clump of green on your body? There was even a strip hanging on the hem of her skirt, even if she had seen something more disgusting, it would inevitably be sick to her stomach at this time, not to mention the disgusting fishy smell, and the original flesh-pink fine silk shoes under her feet had lost their original appearance.

Thinking of what she didn't know what she had stepped on, maybe it was stinky water, maybe it was a puddle full of insects, and she suddenly felt a layer of pimples on her skin.

She stood for a long time, and finally couldn't bear the feeling of vomiting and nausea, and looked around for a place to cover people, and in a half-man-high forest around the cemetery, she forcibly took off her clothes quickly, and then changed into the clothes and shoes that the old woman had prepared for her in the baggage.

The careful old woman put two sets of two pairs for her, left for a change, they are all gray clothes that the old woman wears on weekdays, and the shoes are also old shoes, which look ugly, but they are extremely dry and comfortable to wear, and when she changes her clothes, she feels that her body is warmer.

After changing her clothes, Luo Xiyu looked at the old clothes, and looked at things and people for a while, her expression was a little trance, thinking that this was what the Holy Lord liked very much, and when she saw her wearing it that time, her eyes were so amazing and she liked it, but now, ......

Just as this pure white and flawless white dress has been stained and dirty, so ugly and disgusting, it can never be restored to its previous appearance, Luo Xiyu had tears in his eyes, but he did not hesitate to throw it in the grass, and finally glanced at the cemetery, and finally left along the path without looking back.

After leaving, she found a place where no one was looking through the map that the old woman said in the baggage, because without a map, it was like a blind man touching the road, and it was difficult to move an inch, but fortunately, there was a map, and she couldn't help but open the skin.

The diagram is clear and easy to understand, with a red line turning from east to south, and each place is marked with a red dot next to it.

Seeing this, the excited Luo Xiyu couldn't help but have a little doubt, such a clear route, where to settle down with the usual instructions, how to move forward, such a long paragraph, the old woman didn't know how to draw it in a short time?

However, thinking that the old woman said that she had recently gone out to buy canteen supplies, probably on the road she passed on weekdays, she had to be prepared in advance, so she suddenly felt relieved, and with the map, she finally settled down.

But then she checked the rest of the baggage, a waterproof and portable box, which contained eight palm-sized purple leaves, which were still very fresh, as if they had not been plucked from the tree for a short time.

This should be what the aunt said can make red spots on the face, and at this time, Luo Xiyu was discouraged, the previous mentality of dressing up for love, and being beautiful for men had long since disappeared, she picked up a piece without hesitation, and then put it in her mouth and chewed it, the purple leaf had no peculiar smell, just a little sour, and soon after swallowing, Luo Xiyu felt that her body seemed to be sweating.

She rolled up her sleeves, and saw a little red bump on her snow-white arm, which looked like she had a skin disease, and when she touched her face, it seemed that there was also a dense layer, Luo Xiyu only felt that this thing was very easy to use, and it was painless at all, and she had never heard of this thing when she studied medicine with Ge Lao before, otherwise she would be interested in asking.

She shook her head slightly, no longer thinking.

Now she also has a disguise on her body, which is dense, not to mention a man, even a woman has to retreat when she sees it, and she tied the gray hat and scarf worn by her aunt to her face, covering half of her face.

Then she ordered some silver that her aunt had brought her, which was not much, five gold ingots, another bag of broken silver, some extremely valuable gold and jade jewelry wrapped in one of the cloths, and a bag of gold beans in a small purse, which was enough for her to use all the way.

After she finished counting, she put the map close to her, and put the bag of golden beans and the map together, and the other wrapped in her clothes, wrapped in cloth, tied around her waist, and the gray clothes were very loose, but they also looked inconspicuous.

Then she walked down the mountain.

At this time, the night in the East Prison is cooler than the day, but compared to the cold winter in Wuzhou at this time, it is simply ambiguous here, Luo Xiyu is walking alone on the mountain path in the forest at this time, the sky is already dark, and the wind in the forest is constantly ringing.

She is a woman, it is impossible to be afraid, she used to walk with people, no matter how dangerous it was, there was always someone who came up with an idea to carry it ahead, but now she is alone, and the worry and fear of being alone emanates from the inside out.

She hugged her burden tightly, looking around as she went, and if there was a little sound in the grass, she would be like a frightened bird, standing still and not daring to move, for fear that some wild beast would come out.

After all, there have been quite a few of them in the past.

Several times or three times, her soul was about to be frightened, but she had to grit her teeth and endure it, and even ran forward regardless of it, she couldn't be intimidated here, she had to leave the East Prison and take a boat to Wuzhou.

When she arrived in Wuzhou, she went to find Bao'er, if there is anything in this world that worries her, it is Bao'er, I don't know how Bao'er is now, she has been worried about the Holy Lord's fetal poison, but she ignores Bao'er, and no one asks people to inquire about the news.

Now I feel extremely guilty when I think about it, I don't know that the old man didn't take it properly, its little finger was cut off, I don't know if there is any trouble, whether it is sick, I think about it like this, I feel ashamed of being its sister, for the sake of a man, I lost it to others.

Probably this is retribution, and the man abandoned her again.

Luo Xiyu's mood was depressed for a while, ashamed for a while, and felt an incurable anger for his stupidity, like a roller coaster, up and down.

Her gaze was a little dazed and hesitant, and it was this state that made her walk out of this dense forest and come to the bottom of the mountain.

There are farmers at the bottom of the mountain, and you can see the lights from a distance.

Luo Xiyu couldn't help wiping her face, she woke up from the depression again, she breathed a sigh of relief, there is no need to sleep in the open anymore, although she has slept in the wild more than once, but it is all with people, and she has never been alone.

Men are still restless, let alone unarmed women.

She took out some broken silver and some copper plates from her baggage, and then entered the village with all her knowledge.

The ancient villagers were much kinder than the modern indifferent people, they did not dislike her red pockmarked face at all, and took care of her to live in a drier house.

Luo Xiyu lives in the home of an old man and an old lady who has no children, there is no taboo, because it is a rash, it is not a serious illness, so she can go into the kitchen to get some food, she bought white noodles with the old lady, and the old lady gave her more.

Luo Xiyu steamed more than a dozen large steamed buns in a pot, then wrapped them in a clean cloth and let them cool thoroughly, so that they could be eaten for a longer time than snacks on the road tomorrow, and she made a big bowl of noodles for the remaining noodles, and cut a handful of coriander and straw mushrooms brought by the old lady.

Because she was so hungry that she could only eat half a bowl on weekdays, she didn't even drink the soup in one go, and took a bath at night and lay on the humble bed, looking at the spotted insects and rotting beams, she thought it would be a sleepless night.

But I didn't expect it to be overnight until dawn.

Not even a dream.

The next morning, the whole person seemed to be reborn, no longer the paleness of yesterday, it seemed that some things, some people, some things that made people angry and sad were locked somewhere, and she returned to her former self.

"Auntie, you don't have to give so many ......" Luo Xiyu watched the old lady fill the jar with a lot of home-made pickles, and said hurriedly.

"It's okay, it's okay, the family guards the mountain, some of these wild vegetables are, they are all things that don't cost money, yesterday the girl gave a lot of money, and the farmer didn't have anything for you, only these things, you can take the steamed buns on the road to eat." The old lady filled the hand jar and sealed it.

"Thank you, auntie." Luo Xiyu didn't know how to be grateful, she chose this accommodation, and she saw that the old man and the old lady were good people with white mangs on their chests, but they didn't expect to be so enthusiastic, and the room money was only three cents.

Sanwen was only enough for the children to buy a few pieces of candy to eat, Luo Xiyu gave thirty wen and bought a little noodles with her, but she gave more, and also gave a small jar of pickles and two salty cakes.

No wonder the old man has so many white mangs.

Yesterday, Luo Xiyu didn't have any thoughts at all, but at this time he hesitated, but asked, "Auntie, what are the difficulties at home?" ”

"Difficulty?" The old lady didn't seem to expect Luo Xiyu to suddenly ask about this, but then she sighed and said: "Guarding the mountain, as long as you can move, you won't starve to death, and you can live a comfortable life with good food and drink, but it's my old man's illness, alas, the village doctor can't help it, let's go to the city to see, but the old man refuses to go, and the doctor in the city can't come to our poor countryside for some money......"

Luo Xiyu knew that the white mangs she could see were all able to help, and she really wanted to help this family.

So she was about to leave, hesitated, and said, "Auntie, I happen to know some pharmacology, let me help the uncle take a look......"

"The girl knows how to heal?" The old lady looked at her face: "This ......"

Luo Xiyu touched his face and smiled bitterly: "This is a place where I have been in the tide for a long time, I will be fine after a few days of eczema, it doesn't matter if the aunt doesn't believe it, I just show the uncle, if it can be cured, I don't want the aunt to pay a penny, if it doesn't work, I won't be reluctant to ......"

The old lady couldn't ask for it, and hurriedly said: "Trouble girl, come in and show us the old man, the old man has such a temperament, he won't go anywhere in this acre and three points of land, and he said that he will be buried in the ground when he dies, my old woman's mouth is thin, if the girl can really cure him, I don't know how to thank you." ”

Luo Xiyu said seriously: "No thanks, I want to help because my aunt is a good person, no matter whether I can help or not, good people will be rewarded......"

After all, she studied medicinal diet pharmacology with the doctor in the garden for a few years, and then turned over countless medicine books by herself, coupled with Ge Lao's guidance, in addition to practice, she has achieved a little success in theory and dispensing.

And under this look, she found that the old man had a dark face, a foul smell in his mouth, and a perennial cough, and the village doctor had been treating him as tuberculosis, but it was always not improving, but it became more and more serious in half a year.

If you are not careful, you will indeed think that there is something wrong with your lungs, but I saw in a medical book of Ge Lao that there is another similar symptom, which is called miasma, which can also be said to be miasma.

So Luo Xiyu carefully asked the old lady if she had been to a place with a miasma before the old man got sick, such as a swamp or a place where the sulk had been sulking for a long time, and the old lady really remembered that the old man was a hunter in his early years, but now his body is quite tough, and he likes to go up the mountain for a walk when he has nothing to do, and sometimes he catches a hare and pheasant and the like, but he didn't expect to chase a fox and get lost that time, although he came out but was seriously ill, saying that he entered a place in the mountains, and there was a foul smell in it.

Since then, he has been coughing from time to time, and his body is getting worse day by day.

That's miasma.

There is only one kind of nemesis of this thing, which is white mustard seeds that are as white as white beam rice and have a pungent taste.

It is smoked for three days and five days.

And the size and time of the cigarette are also particular, Luo Xiyu had to stay.

Sure enough, after staying for five days, the old man had all his illnesses gone, and immediately got up from the bed, and the old couple thanked Luo Xiyu, bought meat and vegetables, and took out all their savings for consultation.

Of course Luo Xiyu can't ask for it, in addition to the fact that the life of the two is not easy, the most taboo thing about this merit is to take things, and taking things is to offset the merit, and Bai Mang will not get it.

In this way, the old man and the old lady borrowed a carriage that night to pull Luo Xiyu all the way.

After all, this road is very far away from the city, and there are jackals, tigers and leopards in the barren mountains and mountains on the road.

In this regard, Luo Xiyu couldn't ask for it, so he immediately went to the Nine Prisons City in the map that day.
