Chapter 19 Drug Introduction
Before half a pillar of incense, the old man opened the door, and Xiao Mo was no longer visible in the courtyard, only the medicine book was left swaying in the wind, and then the bamboo basket and torches in the corner of the wall were gone, and the old man stroked his beard with a calm expression.

In the past, it was common for Dr. Sun, a military doctor in the house, to go out to collect medicine in person, and I heard Dr. Sun say that the more dense the vegetation, the more good medicine can be found, and nothing can be found on the busy roadside.
The sky was dark, and the falls and bruises were already taken for granted, Xiao Mo didn't know where he got the courage, and he searched for medicine alone in the deep mountains and old forests at night, perhaps because it was dark, far less terrible than death.
The cold mountain wind swept the dead leaves, and the cold was pressing, Xiao Mo held the torch and did not stop for a moment, picking up the weeds and carefully searching for them one by one as he walked.
Xiao Mo didn't close his eyes all night, and only returned to the courtyard when it was slightly bright, sleepy, and looked up to see the old man sitting in the hall drinking tea.
Xiao Mo carried the bamboo basket in and put it in front of him: "Please take a look at the old gentleman." ”
The old man put down the teacup, picked up the bamboo basket and looked at the herbs, his brows furrowed.
"Is there a mistake?" Xiao Mo muttered quietly.
"You studied medicine before?" The old man looked at Xiao Mo and asked, his eyes suspicious.
Xiao Mo shook his head: "It's the first time I've seen these herbs, if there is a mistake in picking them, I hope the old man will forgive me, and I'll pick them again." ”
"You've memorized it all in less than half an hour?" The old man was incredulous.
"It's that medicine book is very well compiled, although there are few pharmacological texts, but it depicts the uniqueness of the appearance of these herbs in detail, so it doesn't take much effort to remember the appearance of these herbs, each herb is different, and it is naturally easy to find."
The old man put the bamboo basket aside, picked up a package of things that had been wrapped in paper on the table and gave it to Xiao Mo: "Go and decoct the medicine." ”
Xiao Mo took the medicine, and looked at the basket of medicine that he had worked so hard to pick back: "What about these?" ”
"Of course, if you use it, you have to pick another one to make up for it." Although the old man's tone was still stiff, it was much calmer than before.
Xiao Mo nodded silently, turned around and walked out of the hall.
"Is this really providential? But ......" The old man looked at Xiao Mo's back and muttered to himself, his expression hesitant.
Before, he found a bamboo basket for collecting medicine in the corner, and now the old man took out a pair of good medicines out of thin air, plus there was a stove for boiling medicine in this kitchen, Xiao Mo was even more suspicious, could it be that the old man was a doctor?
Xiao Mo brought the medicine jar and put it on the small stove, and felt sorry in his heart, Ling Xu can be regarded as a great blessing, and when his life is dying, he can meet a doctor in this inaccessible deep mountain, Xiao Mo couldn't help but bend the corners of his mouth, hoping that he would have a blessing if he didn't die.
Xiao Mo opened the medicine bag and was about to pour it into the medicine jar, but found that the medicine package did not seem to be prepared by the herbs he picked back, and he spread the medicine on the table and flipped through it with his fingers, and there were many poisons in it that everyone knew! Centipede...... There are even ...... Toad.
Looking at this bag of strange medicine, coupled with the strange old man, Xiao Mo didn't know what to do for a while, and he was already suspicious in his heart, is this medicine really used for detoxification?
However, according to Ling Xu's current situation, if this is really poison, he will not die if he eats it, and if he doesn't eat it, he will die, it is better to gamble, not to mention that the old man has already helped Ling Xu stop the bleeding, and now it will not harm his life, but this antidote is too strange, Xiao Mo will be suspicious, pour the medicine into the medicine jar, and boil the medicine.
Xiao Mo walked into the room with the decoctioned medicine, and saw that the old man was giving Ling Xu an injection, he was really a doctor! Xiao Mo was pleased.
"I haven't brought the medicine yet." The old man said.
Xiao Mo sat on the edge of the bed with the medicine, and was about to help Ling Xu get up and drink the medicine.
"Slow." The old man suddenly stopped.
Xiao Mo looked at the old man in confusion.
"This bowl of medicine is still missing a dose of medicine."
"What medicine?" Xiao Mo asked.
"Human blood."
Xiao Mo was shocked, it was the first time she had heard that human blood was going to be used as medicine.
"If there is no drug for this medicine, it will have no effect." The old man said, glancing at the dagger on the square table next to him, and stopped talking.
has come to this point, how can he give up all his efforts, Xiao Mo put the medicine bowl on the table, picked up the dagger and slashed it on his wrist without hesitation, and then stretched out his hand and hung it in the air, blood dripping down and blending with the medicine. As the medicine bowl gradually filled, Xiao Mo picked up the muslin cloth and wrapped the wound simply, his expression was so indifferent from beginning to end, what was this pain.
Seeing this scene, the old man's gaze became gentler again.
Xiao Mo hastily wrapped the wound and hurriedly fed Ling Xu to drink the medicine.
"Let's go next door and rest." The old man said lightly.
Xiao Mo couldn't believe his ears, was this still that strange old man with a fierce and vicious spirit? After not closing his eyes for a day and a night, Xiao Mo was already exhausted, so he answered the call and walked outside.
"Girl, so daring."
The old man's voice came from behind him, Xiao Mo stopped, was stunned for a moment, turned to look at the old man, and asked timidly: "Old man, you are already ......" He paused halfway through speaking, the place where he should be wrapped has been wrapped, and the voice that should be coarse is also coarse, Xiao Mo thought that this disguise was seamless, and he never thought that this would be seen through.
The old man didn't look back, didn't speak, and continued to administer needles to Ling Xu.
Xiao Mo secretly sighed and turned to leave. If you see it, you can see through it, she disguised herself as a man in order to avoid suspicion in front of everyone, and now in this deep mountain and old forest, who will know.
The door of the next guest room was hidden, Xiao Mo pushed the door in, and saw that there was a set of clean clothes on the bed, it was still men's clothes, Xiao Mo was a little surprised, picked up the clothes and looked at them, and saw that the figure did not look like the old man's clothes, it should be prepared for her, Xiao Mo looked down at his clothes again, he had stumbled all the way before, and he was already ragged.
Changing clothes and lying down, the scenes in the mountains and forests appeared in front of him, raised his hand to look at the injury on his wrist, it turned out that he was so reluctant to die, saving his life this time can be regarded as repaying his kindness for saving him.
When Xiao Mo woke up, the sky outside was still bright, and he couldn't rest assured that Ling Xu was in a hurry, and he hurried to the next door to see him, Ling Xu was lying peacefully, his face was a little better, Xiao Mo breathed a sigh of relief, but when will this poison be completely solved?
Xiao Mo wanted to ask the old man, but he didn't see the old man's figure inside and out, standing in the courtyard and looking around, the door of the hut was hidden, guessing that the old man should be inside.
Xiao Mo walked over and looked into the door through the open gap first, the light inside was dim, and he couldn't see anything clearly.
"Old gentleman?"
Xiao Mo whispered in front of the door, but no one answered, so he stretched out his hand and slowly pushed open the door of the hut and walked in.
The door opened, the sunlight shone in, and directly in front of the door was a desk, and there were many books on the shelves next to it.
"It turned out to be a study." Xiao Mo muttered to himself, turned his eyes to look at the other side, and was suddenly shocked, on one side of this room was a study, and on the other side were large and small bamboo cages and iron cages, which contained all kinds of poisons and snakes...... Centipede...... Scorpion......
Xiao Mo was frightened by the countless poisonous insects, snakes and ants in front of him, and hurriedly turned around to leave, but when he raised his eyes, he saw that the old man was already standing in front of the door, staring at her.
