Chapter 7: The Boy in the Water
After Mama Ming left, Qi Huan recuperated his injuries in the farmhouse for a few days, except that the person who delivered the medicine became a peasant woman, the others were no different.
Qi Fantasy spent most of her time in the illusion, and before that, because the pain in the injury was unbearable, she didn't have to endure the pain when she went to the illusion, but after discovering that the recipes in the thatched hut in the fantasy would work so well, Qi Fantasy began to read the books in the thatched hut seriously.
This flip through is not too close, Qi Huan is actually fascinated by those books.
The books in the thatched hut not only have a detailed introduction to medicinal herbs and refining methods, but also medical classics that cure diseases and save people.
What made Qi Huan even more excited was that in addition to these, there were also a small half of the books about the introduction of poisonous insects and poisonous herbs and the refining of murderous poisons. This is the most practical for Qi Fantasy.
If she can have the ability to refine and use poison, she will no longer worry about being bullied in the future.
Whether it is medicinal herbs or poisonous weeds, but everything recorded in those books, there are actually in the small medicine garden in the fantasy world, Qi Huan compared the books and recognized all those medicinal herbs and poisonous weeds.
Qi Huan turned out a dusty medicine stove in the thatched house, and according to the refining method written in the book, he directly picked the herbs and poisonous herbs in the small medicine garden, and repeatedly learned the refining medicine with the medicine furnace.
It's a pity that none of the things in the illusion can be taken out, so Qi Fantasy doesn't know what the effect of the things he has refined.
More than ten days have passed in a blink of an eye, and on this morning, just as Qi Huan was learning refining in the illusion, he suddenly heard the voice of the peasant woman who gave her decoction medicine every day, and Qi Huan hurriedly came out of the illusion.
Seeing the peasant woman standing in front of her bed, she rubbed her hands a little crampedly: "Girl, it's not that I don't buy medicine for you, it's really that my family is not rich, and when your grandmother left, she didn't leave any money......"
When Qi Huan heard the peasant woman's meaning, he knew that his medicine had been drunk. In fact, her injuries had already healed, and she stayed just to have a place where she could learn those medical and poisonous knowledge in the illusion.
Now that the medicine has been drunk, it is obvious that the peasant woman has the intention of driving people away, and she does not want to stay here any longer.
After saying goodbye to the peasant woman, Qi Huan took the flint and a firewood knife that he had exchanged the last bit of silver from the peasant woman, and walked along the official road towards Jiuli Mountain, which was eight or nine miles away on the outskirts of Beijing.
The farmhouse where Qi Huan lived was five or six miles away from Kyoto, and Jiuli Mountain was not far from here. After walking for less than a quarter of an hour, I came across a small river about ten meters wide, which was the Qili River.
After crossing the Qili River, we walked a short distance to Jiuli Mountain.
Kuriyama, near Kyoto, is not very high except for the main peak, and there are many wild beasts in the mountains, but most of them are deep in the mountains and forests. There are also a lot of precious medicinal herbs growing in the mountains, and this is the purpose of Qi Huan's visit to Jiuli Mountain this time.
During this period of time, Qi Huan learned to recognize poison and distinguish medicine in the illusion, and even learned to refine poison and medicine, but she couldn't bring out the things in the illusion, and she had no money on her, so if she wanted to refine poison and medicine in reality, the only way to find the herb was naturally to go up the mountain to pick it herself.
After walking along the path stepped out by his predecessors for about half an hour, Qi Huan stopped and wiped the sweat on his forehead and took a breath. At first glance, there are far more herbs than at the foot of the mountain, except for some unknown wildflowers and weeds.
Qi Xuan took a breath and began to bury his head in collecting herbs.
Unconsciously, the sun was already setting in the west, and Qi Huan was so absorbed in collecting herbs that she forgot the time for a while, until there was a burst of "gurgling" in her stomach, and she remembered that from morning to now, she had not touched the water and rice.
After finding a mountain stream and washing his face, Qi Huan was thinking about what to find to fill his stomach.
Suddenly, a gray shadow slammed into Qi Phantom like lightning, and Qi Phantom's body moved to the side with agility. I only heard the sound of "thump-" in my ears.
Qi Huan fixed his eyes and saw that the rock behind her was stained with blood, and under the rock, a fat head and big eared gray rabbit was lying there and fluttering desperately, but the impact just now was too great, and the skull of the gray rabbit had already been shattered, and after a few flutters, his legs were broken with a kick.
"Heh, what kind of tragic thing has this rabbit experienced, he can't even think of committing suicide so much! However, it's cheap for me, not only don't I have to be hungry today, but I also have meat to eat!" Qi Huan said with a smile, then picked up the gray rabbit who committed suicide, thought about it, and decided to hurry out of the mountain.
She was injured just right, and she had exerted too much force in the mass grave before, so it was really not appropriate to use force again. This time it was a rabbit that came out, and if a tiger came out next time, she would be in big trouble.
Carrying the gray rabbit, he bundled the collected herbs into a ball and carried them on his shoulders, and Qi Huan quickly descended the mountain.
It wasn't until he walked to the Seven Mile River that Qi Huan stopped.
The gray rabbit was skinned with a wood knife, then washed in the river, and roasted with a twig.
A rabbit went down, and Qi Huan felt that he was finally full. She was not in a hurry to sort out the herbs she had gathered, but lay comfortably on the riverbank, ready to take a nap.
I was just about to close my eyes when I suddenly noticed something floating in the river.
Qi Huan's spirit perked up, looking at the mass of things that were drifting closer and closer, and there were countless conjectures in his heart.
When they reached the shore, the mass stopped drifting, and Qi Xuan found a long branch and carefully dragged it to the shore.
As a result, he almost didn't Qi Phantom to death. I thought it was a treasure, but it turned out to be a dead man!
Qi Huan took a sip and secretly said unlucky.
But now that they have already reached the shore, if they are pushed into the river again, Qi Huan will feel uneasy.
Then I'll have to pull him up first.
When he dragged people up, Qi Huan found out that this was an extremely handsome young man, and he was not a few years older than Qi Huan himself.
The boy was about fifteen or sixteen years old, with beautiful eyebrows and phoenix eyes, a straight nose, fair and smooth skin, almost invisible pores, and a hair spread out like ink.
Unfortunately, the young man's face and exposed skin were scarred by many large and small scars, not deep, not like sword wounds, but like they had been scratched by the sharp stones of a tree branch while running in the forest.
There was not a single fatal wound on the boy's body, and the most serious wound he suffered was a deep bone wound on his arm that had been cut by a sharp stone. After being soaked in the river, these wounds have turned white, and the only color on the young man's body, except for his hair, is probably the boy's lips, which have a strange purple color.
"Hmm, I didn't expect that I had just learned to refine poison, and I met someone who was poisoned!" Qi Huan's lips hooked up a smile.
