Chapter 406: Night Frost Poisoning
Lin Jinghan: Their destination is a small town under D City in S Province, Sanshui Town.
Sanshui Town is located at the junction of S Province and Y Province, but there is an insurmountable mountain range between the two provinces, so this Sanshui Town is much more remote and poor than other towns.
The mountains are rich in produce, but they are so remote that there is not a single regular road, only a rough trail for oxen and sheep carts.
There are not many people in the town, and there are only a few dozen families in total, so it is said to be a small town, but it is actually more like a village.
And on this day, a few people who were as beautiful as fairies suddenly came to the remote town, causing the whole town to run out.
Lin Jinghan was speechless for the eyes of the people in the town like onlookers watching strange animals, but she had to be helpless, you must know that there is a saying that the poor countryside is out of the people, in this remote town, Lin Jinghan and Xu Shengrui They don't want to be hostile to the people in these towns, otherwise, it will cause great trouble to their actions.
However, although the people in these small towns were very curious about Lin Jinghan and their group, they did not take the initiative to talk to them, or stop them, and let the four of them go towards the most luxurious place in the town.
That's the mayor's house.
Before he came to the mayor's house, the mayor had already heard the news that a foreigner had come to the town, and hurriedly brought someone to greet him.
Lin Jinghan saw a group of people coming, and the person at the front, with gray temples, a cane in his hand, and a coat on his body, those who were still watching saw this person coming, and automatically got out of the way, so that Lin Jinghan and they knew who this person was at once.
"Excuse meγ»γ»γ»γ»γ»γ»" Lin Jinghan saw that the old man with a kind face had just spoken, and was directly interrupted by the mayor.
"The girl is here to find Master Tan, right?"
"Well, you're γ»γ»γ»γ»γ»γ»"
"Then come with me, Master Tan has something urgent to find you." As he spoke, the mayor wanted to reach out and grab Lin Jinghan's hand, but he was blocked by two hands together, and of course, there was a hand that stretched out half and then half retracted.
The mayor looked at the owner of the two hands, the expression on his face froze, and the two men in front of him, one was as evil as a demon and the other was as cold as iron, but he knew that they were both people who were not easy to mess with.
Some of them withdrew their hands in disdain, and the mayor also realized that his behavior was inappropriate, but fortunately, Lin Jinghan didn't care, took over the conversation, and relieved the mayor's embarrassment.
"Master Tan is looking for me urgently? Then let's hurry over! β
"Eh, okay, okay, this girl is surnamed Lin, I am Liu Qinghe, the mayor of Sanshui Town, and Master Tan has been waiting for you." The mayor of the town dispersed the crowd who were still around to watch the excitement, and then enthusiastically said to Lin Jinghan, there was a young man who looked very honest beside the mayor, who had been looking at Lin Jinghan and the four of them, very curious, after seeing Lin Jinghan's sweeping gaze, Lian immediately turned red, dodged Lin Jinghan's eyes, lowered his head, and looked shy.
The people in this town are quite simple! Lin Jinghan thought so in her heart.
"Hello Mayor Town, I'm Lin Jinghan, Master Tan, how long have they been here?" Lin Jinghan asked, Lin Jinghan wanted to find out when and where Master Tan got the news of the master.
"Master Tan, they have been here for more than half a month, and that little gentleman is not in good health, so Master Tan took him to the mountains to look for medicinal herbs." The mayor of the town is very kind, and he answers everything Lin Jinghan asks in detail.
"Night frost? What happened to him? "This little Mr. Night, Lin Jinghan immediately thought of Night Frost, and he was the only one who followed Master Tan.
Could it be that Night Frost's fetal poison has exploded?
"I don't know about this, when Master Tan brought Mr. Ye Xiao to come, Mr. Ye Xiao's health was not good, and now the situation seems to be even worse, hey, Mr. Night Xiao is very good, it turns out that Master Tan often brings him here to collect medicinal herbs, and the people in our town are treated for free, I didn't expect Mr. Night Xiao to γ»γ»γ»γ»γ»γ»" The mayor of the town said at the end and began to sigh and shake his head, that expression made Lin Jinghan's heart sink, could it be that Ye Shuang's illness can no longer be cured?
During the conversation, several people came to the mayor's house, and as soon as they entered the courtyard, before they had time to look at the structure of the courtyard, they heard Master Tan's voice from the room on the left.
"Lin girl, hurry up, hurry up!"
Master Tan's voice was extremely anxious, and there was some panic, so that Lin Jinghan didn't dare to slack off, and ran in quickly, Lin Jinghui and a few of them also followed, but the mayor and the young man didn't follow, standing in place, looking over there, their faces were also anxious.
Lin Jinghan came to the room, directly pushed the door open and went in, as soon as she entered, Lin Jinghan was startled, the person lying on the bed, is it really night frost?
In the dimly lit room, the furnishings were very simple, just a bed, a wardrobe, and a desk and stool, which looked like some furniture that had been put in temporarily, and on that bed, a man was lying unconscious.
The face of the person on the bed was blue-black, his whole body was swollen, and his arms were wrapped in bandages, and a fishy smell emanated from the bandages.
Where is this still the handsome young man in a long shirt when I first met!
Master Tan was wiping the face of the person on the bed with a wet towel at this time, and he didn't turn his head and ordered: "Girl, hurry up and get some antidote pills, the poison of Shuang'er can't be suppressed." β
"Oh, yes." Lin Jinghan immediately took out a bottle of detoxification pill from the Qiankun bracelet, came to the bed, poured out a detoxification pill, and handed it to Master Tan.
Master Tan took it, moved away from Night Frost's mouth, and fed the pill in, the effect of the pill refined by Lin Jinghan has always been very fast, but in just a few minutes, the blue and black on Night Frost's face has dissipated a lot, at least he can see his face clearly, unlike before it looked like a cloud of darkness.
Seeing this situation, Master Tan finally breathed a sigh of relief, and only then turned his head to look at Lin Jinghan.
"Girl, thank you, if it weren't for you, Shuang'er would definitely not survive this time." Master Tan solemnly thanked Lin Jinghan.
"No, Master Tan, what the hell is going on? Isn't the fetal poison of Night Frost almost eliminated? How could it suddenly erupt so harshly? Lin Jinghan stared at the night frost on the bed that was swollen all over her body, and her facial features were almost invisible, and frowned.
"Hey, it's all my fault, if I hadn't insisted on finding the whereabouts of my junior brother, Yeshuang wouldn't have been bitten by a poisonous snake in order to save me, and the fetal poison in his body was induced together." Master Tan felt guilty on his face, it was all him, and it was he who killed his apprentice.
"What? Looking for the whereabouts of the master? Master Tan, tell me carefully, what's going on? You brought me a letter saying that my master had been kidnapped, what happened? How did you know for sure? Lin Jinghan raised all the questions in her heart at once, and anxiety appeared on her face.
"Hey, this has to start after I left the capital city." Master Tan sighed, and then began to narrate the ins and outs of the whole matter.
It turned out that Master Tan and Ye Shuang left Beijing City after participating in the pill auction, and the two went all the way south, and when they passed through S Province, Master Tan suddenly remembered that there was a ginseng he found a few years ago in the mountain range next to Sanshui Town, and the ginseng was still two years away from three hundred years, Master Tan did not pick it immediately, thinking about waiting until two years later, but because he was too busy to forget about it for a while, it was only then that he remembered that Master Tan decided to come here to pick the ginseng.
And after arriving in Sanshui Town, Master Tan heard from the mayor that a few months ago, there was also an old man with crane hair and a childish face who came here, and his medical skills were also very clever, when someone went into the mountain and was bitten by a poisonous snake, and he was about to go, but the old man just fed him a medicine, and the person was fine, which made the people in the town amazed, but this old man seemed to just pass by, and left not long after, and no one knew where he went, which made the people in the town very regretful.
And the mayor also said that the back mountain was struck by lightning some time ago, and in broad daylight, there were no clouds, but they heard thunder, and the mayor felt quite strange, but this is to talk about it as a strange story.
But Master Tan is different, he knows under what circumstances this situation will be caused, combined with the old man with crane hair and childish face that the mayor said, a pill cures a person who was bitten by a poisonous snake, Master Tan immediately thought of his junior brother who had been missing for a few months, and immediately inquired with the mayor about the approximate location of the thunder, and then went into the mountains with Night Frost the next day.
Master Tan had been to this mountain range several times, so he was still very familiar with this mountain range, and according to the location mentioned by the mayor, Master Tan quickly found the place, where there were obvious traces of lightning strikes.
Master Tan carefully inspected there and found a cave, there were traces of human habitation in the cave, and there were some residues of medicinal herbs left in the cave, seeing these, Master Tan knew that this must be the place of Chen Lao's retreat and alchemy, and looking at the traces of the lightning strike, Chen Lao's alchemy must have succeeded, but after success, where will Chen Lao go?
It's been so long, Chen Lao hasn't contacted him or Lin Jinghan, Master Tan feels that something is wrong, and after careful inspection again, Master Tan found traces of the fight, and there are some blood stains that have dried and faded, because of the lightning strike and the rain and dew in the mountain, these traces have become less obvious.
And these traces made Master Tan's heart rise all of a sudden, if there are blood stains, it means that someone is injured, so who will be the injured person?
Following the traces of the fight, little by little they searched for the past, but found nothing, but it was already dark at that time, and the mountains at night were much more dangerous than during the day, so the two of them came out of the mountains and went in again the next day to look for them.
After searching like this for two days, the two searched for a kilometer around, but there was no breakthrough discovery, until Master Tan had no choice but to give up, but when he looked up and saw a cloth belt hooked on a broken branch of a big tree.
Master Tan asked Yeshuang to climb the tree and take off the cloth belt, and after carefully identifying it, he saw that the traces should have been hanging on the tree for more than 20 days, and the cloth strips had become brittle, and at that time, Master Tan realized that when he was looking for it, he actually ignored it and only cared about the ground.
After figuring this out, the two began to look for it, and then found two strips of cloth again, but the distance between these two strips of cloth was indeed very far, which made Master Tan a little puzzled, and at the end of the location of the strip of cloth, Master Tan found some clues.
That place looked normal, similar to other places, with large trees standing one after another, leaves falling on the ground and spreading layer after layer, a rotten breath wafting in the air, but Master Tan always felt that something was wrong, so Master Tan searched for that place again and again.
Suddenly, one day, Master Tan finally noticed that something was wrong, when he looked at the sky from a specific position, he saw that the sky was distorted, as if two spaces were stacked on top of each other, but as long as he left that position, there would be nothing wrong.
Master Tan knew that he must have encountered something unusual, but for the sake of Chen Lao, he was not ready to give up, so according to that special position, Master Tan began to study, and finally, let Master Tan grope out some doorways, those trees that looked normal, but in fact formed a very large, very mysterious formation, the effect of that formation seemed to be to hide something.
Master Tan was very happy, he finally found a breakthrough, but he and Ye Shuang had just stepped into that formation, and a small black snake like chopsticks rushed towards Master Tan, Ye Shuang saw it, and pushed Master Tan away at once, but he was bitten on the arm by the black snake.
