Xu Xiaobai screamed at a sky-high price, he was just walking normally, and suddenly found that there was something unusual in front of him, looking like a big mushroom, he was curious for a while, so he went up to take a look, who knew that a snake suddenly appeared, this snake bit faster than lightning, Xu Xiaobai was caught off guard, and was actually bitten by it.

He stood upside down for half an hour, a puddle of dirty blood on the ground melted the snow into a piece, and finally the color of the entire palm turned from dark purple to blood red, and then gradually returned to flesh color from blood red, Xu Xiaobai felt that the dizziness in his brain and the vomiting in his abdomen had almost disappeared, and then he sat on the ground with his butt and was tired and sweating profusely.

Lao Yaozi checked his condition, and he didn't know if the medicine he found was really symptomatic, or Xu Xiaobai's antidote method was effective, this kid really came back to life, God opened his eyes, this is really a miracle.

Xu Xiaobai is fine, and Lao Yaozi is in the mood to think about the whole thing. With many years of experience, he intuitively felt that this matter was extremely strange, turned his head to look at Xu Xiaobai, who was meditating and pranayama, and whispered to him: "The area where the pit viper lives is not here." ”

Pit viper, a kind of Siberian pit viper, belongs to the reptile pit viper family (rattlesnake family), 60-70 cm long, and the largest can reach 94 cm. The pit viper has a triangular head, a thin neck, a gray-brown back, a row of black-brown round spots on each side, a grayish-brown belly with black and white spots, and preys on rats, birds, frogs, and lizards. Pit vipers are very poisonous, 1 gram of snake venom can poison 1,000 rabbits, 30,000 pigeons, and 0.1 grams can kill people. As far as Lao Yaozi knows, there is only one place in the northeast where pit vipers can be seen - the southernmost snake island of the LN Peninsula (which is the prototype of Shenlong Island in Jin Yong's novel "The Legend of Deer and Ding").

Xu Xiaobai listened to Lao Yaozi's analysis while meditating, and kept frowning and silent. The old medicine man muttered to himself for a long time, and muttered, "Could it be ...... Is there something around here that makes pit vipers nostalgic for it, so they can withstand the cold and guard here? ”

Xu Xiaobai finished his work at this time, stood up, and said to Lao Yaozi: "I saw a strange mushroom just now. ”

Mushroom? Lao Yaozi was stunned for a moment, Xu Xiaobai took him a few steps forward, and sure enough, in the snow, an inconspicuous thing was growing on the ground.

When the old medicine saw it, he exclaimed: "Ganoderma lucidum! ”

Ganoderma lucidum can be described as famous, also known as Shenzhi and fairy grass, which is the whole plant of the polypore family plant Ganoderma lucidum or purple mushroom. The medicinal effect of purple Ganoderma lucidum is the best. As a traditional Chinese precious medicinal material with thousands of years of medicinal history, it has high medicinal value, and has significant curative effects on enhancing human immunity, regulating blood sugar, controlling blood pressure, adjuvant tumor radiotherapy and chemotherapy, protecting the liver, and promoting sleep.

The old medicine seemed to see the treasure, and muttered: "I have never seen such a big purple lingzhi, and there is really a good treasure in the depths of this old forest!" As he spoke, he stepped forward to pick it up.

Xu Xiaobai grabbed him: "Don't move, the poisonous snake didn't go far, I was bitten by the poisonous snake just now because I was curious about this Lingzhi." ”

Lao Yaozi understood, listened carefully, and sure enough, he heard a slight noise, and at the same time, Lao Qing shouted a warning. One meter away, an inconspicuous snow cave, a patterned insect suddenly rushed out of the hole, extremely fast, like lightning bite. Xu Xiaobai had taken precautions in advance, of course, he would not be taken advantage of by this poisonous snake again, and when he saw the direction of the poisonous snake, he pulled out the Fenglin Volcano Knife and cut it down with one sword, breaking the poisonous snake in half from the middle. He was about to urge the fire to burn the poisonous snake to death, but the old medicine man hurriedly said: "Don't burn it, I'm useful!" ”

Xu Xiaobai stopped at this time, and after the poisonous snake was broken in half, he struggled on the ground and died after a while.

Lao Yaozi hurriedly took out the wine bottle, carefully washed the poisonous snake in the snow, soaked it in the wine, and said with a smile: "Pit viper wine, it is the most effective way to cure rheumatism and old cold legs." ”

Xu Xiaobai saw that he had cleaned up the pit viper, and began to walk towards Lingzhi again, obviously wanting to take Lingzhi into his pocket, and suddenly turned the blade sideways and stopped in front of Lao Yaozi, and said with a smile: "Brother, the poisonous snake belongs to you, and Lingzhi naturally belongs to me." ”

Lao Yaozi was about to argue, when suddenly Lao Qing roared in a low voice to warn, Lao Yaozi listened to it and smiled: "Hou Sheng, it seems that there are still others who are worried about this Lingzhi." ”

A familiar figure walked out of the forest, it was the wolf king who attacked Xu Xiaobai and Lao Yaozi twice, followed by more than a dozen wild wolves, after the last fierce battle, the number of wolves decreased significantly, and suffered a major attrition loss.

Xu Xiaobai knew that after the last battle, the wolf king would definitely not give up, and he was not surprised by its appearance. Lao Yaozi naturally knew about this section, and looked at the wolf king calmly. Only Lao Qing grinned at the wolf king, which seemed to arouse full of anger, but it was bitten by the wolf king's subordinates and almost died.

The wolf king ignored Lao Qing's provocation, and slowly stepped forward two steps, staring at the Lingzhi on the ground.

As if he knew what the wolf king meant, Lao Yaozi asked in a low voice, "Do you want this Lingzhi?" ”

The wolf king roared, and he was actually responding. Xu Xiaobai secretly said strangely, could it be that this wolf king really understands people's words? Lao Yaozi didn't think it was strange, and explained to Xu Xiaobai: "All things are born with spirits, the pit viper just now, all know the preciousness of this Ganoderma lucidum, Pan Huan is here to guard and refuse to leave, not to mention this wolf king, it is a high-level animal among mammals, much more advanced than the wisdom of poisonous snakes." ”

Xu Xiaobai couldn't make up his mind, and asked Lao Yaozi: "It wants this Ganoderma lucidum, shall we give it or not?" ”

The old medicine man walked up to Lingzhi and reached out to pick it, and the wolf king let out a dull roar, obviously warning him not to act rashly. Lao Yaozi turned his head to Xu Xiaobai and said, "It seems that it will not be possible not to give, the terrain here is open, there are no trees, we don't have the luck of last time." ”

Xu Xiaobai was unwilling, and said, "It's so cheap for this brute? ”

Old Yaozi shook his head and said, "Of course, you have to talk to it about the conditions." As he spoke, he turned to face the Wolf King, and said loudly and slowly: "This Lingzhi is for you, but you must not attack us again in the future, and our grudges will be written off from now on." ”

The wolf king bowed his head for a long time, raised his head and roared softly, it seemed that he agreed. Lao Yaozi thought about it again and said, "I think you should also know the preciousness of this Lingzhi, in addition to the conditions just mentioned, you and your subordinates should help us once when necessary, this condition is not excessive!" ”

The wolf king didn't move for a long time, as if he was thinking, and finally roared in response. Lao Yaozi didn't say much more, stepped aside, and said to the wolf king: "Please!" ”

The wolf king stepped forward single-handedly, passing by the old Yaozi, although the old Yaozi behaved lightly, in fact, he had been tensing the muscles of his whole body, for fear that the wolf king would burst out and hurt people. But the wolf king didn't look at him at all, walked all the way to Lingzhi, lowered his head and sniffed, then opened his mouth and swallowed Lingzhi whole.

The wolves let out a soft roar, as if celebrating something. When the wolf king approached Lingzhi, Xu Xiaobai had been silently calculating in his heart whether he could kill the wolf king in one fell swoop if he broke out at this time. He calculated and felt that the hope should be more than eighty percent, but since the wolf king agreed to Lao Yaozi's conditions, even if the two sides reached a gentleman's agreement, it would not be very upright for him to make a move at this time. What's more, after destroying the wolf king, how to face the anger of his men is a more serious problem. He didn't have the confidence to deal with a dozen hungry wolves on flat ground.

The wolf king ate the lingzhi, turned around and returned to his team, without looking at Lao Yaozi and Xu Xiaobai from beginning to end, it roared softly, and ran into the distance without stopping, and its subordinates also followed, and in a moment more than a dozen wolves disappeared without a trace.

Xu Xiaobai saw that the wolves were far away, so he had time to ask Lao Yaozi: "Are you reliable to negotiate an agreement with it?" The other party is a brute. ”

Lao Yaozi shook his head: "Wolves are the most trustworthy animals, although they are animals, they are much more reliable than humans. I don't know if these words are stabbing Xu Xiaobai, Xu Xiaobai didn't care, and turned his head to bandage the wound on his hand.

Lao Yaozi packed his bags and continued to hurry with Xu Xiaobai, Xu Xiaobai asked, "Why does that wolf king value this Lingzhi so much?" ”

Lao Yaozi said in a low voice: "I am not a roundworm in the belly of the wolf king, where can I understand its thoughts." However, looking at the urgency of eating Ganoderma lucidum, it is probably to prolong its life. ”

Xu Xiaobai was puzzled, and after the old medicine explained, he realized. It turns out that the wolf king is the leader of the wolf pack, but he is not born to be the leader. Only the strongest and smartest wolf in the pack can become the king of wolves after a bloody competition. But the wolf pack is an animal that respects the strong, and the wolf king will always get old, and when it ages, a new generation of wolf king will naturally stand up to replace it. This wolf king looks huge, and it is estimated that he is not young anymore, and he must not be far from retirement. It should have been attracted by the taste of Ganoderma lucidum, knowing that it was a good thing that could prolong life, so it agreed to the exchange conditions of the old Yaozi, and was desperate to eat this Ganoderma lucidum, in order to be able to sit in the position of the wolf king for a longer time.

Although it makes sense from the point of view, Xu Xiaobai still feels incredible, is the wolf really such a smart animal? How do you understand the importance of power struggle? This question couldn't be answered here by Lao Yaozi, Xu Xiaobai thought about it for a long time, and had to give up. However, what he was more puzzled about was another question: Lao Yaozi asked the wolves to help him when necessary, where is there such a coincidence, and Lao Yaozi may ask the wolves to help one day, and the wolves will appear from the sky? Unless...... Unless the wolves follow him ever since. But it sounds more like a fantasy, the feud is gone, and what do you do.

This question was quickly answered, and at dinner that day, after Lao Yaozi finished eating, he said to Xu Xiaobai: "Your cooked beef, help me exchange fifty catties." ”

Fifty pounds? What do you want so much for? Xu Xiaobai said angrily: "Give money!" ”

"It's deducted from my 500,000 labor fee." The old medicine is generous this time.

Xu Xiaobai exchanged fifty catties of cooked beef, and Lao Yaozi carried such a large piece of beef, walked into the distance, threw the beef on the ground, whistled from afar, and then returned. After a short time, two wolves suddenly rushed out of the forest, holding beef together, and several ran up and down, and disappeared.

It turned out that Lao Yaozi planned to use cooked beef to hang the wolf king's whereabouts all the time, so that he and his men would follow him.

Come to think of it, now in this season, it is really difficult for wolves to find prey, and Lao Yaozi gives them such a large piece of beef every day, which really solves their biggest survival crisis. And for the wolf king, as long as Lao Yaozi gives it a large piece of meat every day, it can establish a higher prestige among the wolves, after all, it is the most important task of the wolf king to find enough food for the wolves.

You're a scheming old man! Xu Xiaobai scolded secretly in his heart, and silently calculated the price of cooked beef by three percent in his heart, and said in his heart that Lao Tzu must slaughter you ruthlessly!
