(834) Track and be tracked
- Although Mo Ye is still a little uneasy, and she is not willing to accept the dispatch of the person in front of her, she is driven by the real situation, as the person in front of her just said, if she wants to cooperate, she has to give some sincerity, and she has to cooperate.
So she only hesitated for a moment, and then walked over as she was told.
This time, he really showed his sincerity, and he just sat quietly in place, without any more recklessness.
Despite this, when Mo Ye walked in front of him, he only dared to bend one knee and squat, leaving five points of defense in his heart, ready to get out at any time. She pulled the bottle from the depths of his open placket as quickly as she plucked it from the depths of his open front, and she took three steps back in a row, and then lifted it into the air and looked at it a few times. This bottle is a bit weird and seems to be a whole?
At this moment, she listened to the half-familiar voice and said: "Point the vermilion lacquer face up, twist it to the right to open."
Mo Ye temporarily threw the sword in his hand aside, and then did as he was told, and the mouth of the bottle really twisted open.
Most of the medicine bottles are corked stoppers, like this kind of twisted bottle, she rarely encountered, and was about to sigh at the delicacy of this bottle, and then she smelled an extremely obvious medicinal smell, a little pungent. Based on the experience she has accumulated in the "Yiyeju" medical center for several months, she can preliminarily judge that the medicine in this bottle should be strong and volatilize very quickly, but this kind of medicine generally has a disadvantage, that is, it has large side effects, and people who are not physically fit should not use it without permission.
"Bring it." Ling Li is urging.
Mo Ye hesitated, this time she didn't do it immediately, but first poured out a pill in the palm of her hand, and then crushed it with her fingers. The pill had a black film on the outside, but when it was crushed open, the preparation inside was revealed, and it showed a dark green color. She lowered her head and sniffed closely, although she didn't seriously learn medicine from Ye Zhengming, and helped in "Yiyeju", she only learned a little fur, but she still sniffed out the blue nitrate ingredients in this dark green service.
Mo Ye heard Ye Zhengming say. There are three factions in the world: plant quenching, animal toxins, and poisonous minerals. Most of the herbal toxins can be saved, or the use of standing antidotes can delay the speed of poisoning. However, animal toxins, such as scorpion needle snake venom, have extremely limited detoxification methods, and it is difficult to replace them with antidote prescriptions.
Poison in the three factions. The latter is the most powerful. The toxins refined from the mineral sands attack quickly, similar to arsenic, which is to see blood and seal the throat and cause people to die quickly. Even the slow-onset mineral poisons, such as mercury, are difficult to excrete with herbs after entering the human body, and most of them will precipitate in the body and leave a lasting disaster.
Binitrate is a major category of mineral poison, which is a natural green rock, and the Taoist alchemy puts it in the Dan furnace to burn it. The green rock emits a very light smoke that accumulates something close to limescale on the walls of the furnace. If a person swallows this substance, he will feel a feeling of upliftment, and at the same time, the body's ability to resist blows will be enhanced. The Taoist priests who preached the Tao with alchemy felt that this feeling was exactly what they felt when they became immortals and were different from the weak mortals.
However, it is explained by the theory of doctors. This is just a sign of poisoning. Among the poisons in the world, there are many kinds of poisonous nights that give people a comfortable feeling, and blue nitrate is a relatively mild one. Because it is not addictive, there are also examples of adding it to therapeutic drugs, which is the concept of introducing the main drug into the meridians in order to stimulate the potential of the human body.
Poison is poison, not to mention that the biggest disadvantage of mineral poison is that it is easy to precipitate in the human body. It has become a long-term problem, and most people are willing to use ginseng, Ganoderma lucidum and other medicinal materials to stimulate physical energy, and will not choose mineral poison.
However, there are many people in the rivers and lakes, in order to make the drug effective enough, and do not care about its side effects. People like this who live a life of licking blood on the tip of a knife may not live to die in a vendetta in the twilight of life. They care more about the momentary refreshment.
Mo Ye sighed, blew away the crushed service on his fingertips, and then walked towards the killer sitting on the ground.
She handed out the medicine bottle, but he didn't take it, just stretched out a palm. Although he didn't speak, the meaning was already clear.
Mo Ye listened closely to the sound of his old bellows' laborious twitching breathing, hesitated for a moment, and asked, "How many grains?"
"Whatever." He spat out two words.
What a mess of yourself! Mo Ye sighed silently, and then shook the hand holding the bottle gently, and poured out about three or four grains.
Ling Li squinted, without half a moment's hesitation, lifted his palm, put all the palm pills into his mouth, and swallowed them dry after only two chews. Then he closed his eyes, as if waiting quietly for the potion to evaporate in his body.
Mo Ye stood aside, not knowing what else he could help do, he glanced aimlessly at Siye, and saw the black horse standing not far away gnawing grass.
The horse knew its owner, so it was not long before it was struck by its owner on its front hooves and ran away in some fright. It's just that now it's more or less afraid that the owner who beat it will be rough again, so it stays not far away.
When he first took in the horse two months ago, Mo Ye was very fond of its loyal owner. This animal kicked Yang Chen several times in the Song Mansion, but he was very obedient to her, even if it was just a horse, it was strange to feel new and even happy to have such an attitude of treating people differently.
Mo Ye put the lid of the small wooden medicine bottle in his hand at the feet of the man on the ground, and then walked towards the black horse. The horse recognized her, and when he saw her coming, he stopped gnawing on the grass and lifted up his head. As soon as she approached, the black-haired animal leaned over and sniffed, like a dog, and then snorted suddenly.
Mo Ye hurriedly raised his sleeves and narrowly blocked the saliva of the flying horse. When the black-haired animal saw that the master suddenly raised his hand, he thought that he was going to be beaten again, and the horse's neck was raised sharply, as if he was about to raise his head to avoid it, and the four hooves also took a few steps back together.
This horse was really born in a noble bloodline, and he was quite spiritual, and he was able to remember what he had just been beaten, and he also reacted defensively.
Mo Ye was both surprised and a little happy about this, because this was her horse!
But...... At first, the horse seemed to recognize the owner behind him.
But Wu Shu once said that a horse with this bloodline will only recognize the owner once in his life, and it is difficult to change it, so what is going on with this animal in front of him?
Thinking of this, Mo Ye slowly approached the black horse, gently stroked the long satin-like mane on the horse's neck, and said with a smile: "I won't beat you, but you have to remember that the guy over there beat you just now."
The black horse raised his neck. It seems to be nodding, and it seems that he just enjoys the feeling of being touched by Mo Ye's neck. Then it suddenly turned its head, and with its tongue it was about to lick it in her face.
Mo Ye didn't think about it. A slap was slapped in the horse's face.
She just said that she wouldn't fight, but before the blink of an eye had passed, she slapped her into place. The black horse turned his head and ran a few steps away, then stood still, looking at her with a puzzled look, his nose twitching slightly, quite aggrieved.
Mo Ye also felt helpless, no matter how good she was about this animal, she couldn't bear its long tongue full of saliva and sticky grass clippings.
With a sigh, she walked slowly back to the black horse. The dark horse first took a few steps back with some resistance. In the end, it stopped, because although the person in front of him hit it, he was its owner after all.
Mo Ye reached out and stroked its neck twice more as usual, because she realized that the animal seemed to enjoy the feeling of being caressed. She deliberately did this, which can be regarded as an apology for the slap just now. But she didn't linger any longer, lest the animal have had enough of enjoying it and lick it with her tongue again, and then she slapped it again, and it was endless. She just took a fancy to the bamboo tube hanging from the corner of the saddle, untied it, and turned away.
The dark horse is being touched comfortably. Suddenly, when he saw that his master had left it alone, he didn't know what he meant, so he followed behind slowly.
Mo Ye glanced back, and it shook the horse's head, and its hooves slowed down.
Seeing this situation, Mo Ye thought for a while. Then she didn't care whether the animal could understand human speech, so she raised the bamboo tube in her hand and said softly, "Don't worry, I'll leave half for you later."
The black horse raised his neck slightly and hissed lightly. I don't know what I mean, and then continue to follow behind Mo Ye.
But it didn't take long for it to suddenly stand on all fours, but it also took a few steps backwards, as if it had been frightened by something.
Mo Ye didn't look back, but couldn't help but want to laugh after hearing the movement of the animal behind him. The reason for the animal's fear was not because it saw that the eyes of the man who struck it had opened. I didn't expect this guy to always kick people with a stinky temper, but he is actually so timid.
It's just that less than half an hour has passed, and Ling Li, who was mentally exhausted and barely sat up, has a much better face now, and his bowed back has straightened, but he still has no intention of getting up. Seeing that the girl approaching him seemed to be holding back a smile, he looked vigilant and said indifferently, "What are you laughing at?"
Mo Ye just had a stir with the black horse twice, but he didn't have any deep thoughts in his heart, and said casually when he heard the words: "Laugh at that horse, it should have been scared by you just now, now you just need to stare at it, you will definitely be able to bluff it run away." When I used to keep it in the house, I didn't know how bad my temper was, and I often teased my hooves, but I didn't expect it to be so small......"
Gradually, when she thought of the Song Mansion, her feelings suddenly fell, and she couldn't continue before she finished speaking.
After a moment of silence, she coughed dryly and handed over the bamboo tube in her hand sullenly.
Ling Li glanced at the bamboo tube, and did not raise his hand to take it, but said lightly: "Don't drink the water in this bamboo tube." After a moment's hesitation, he added, "If the horse has brought dry food, don't touch it."
Mo Ye was slightly stunned, his hand holding the bamboo tube shook slightly, and he lost his voice: "Could it be that the water is poisonous?"
Ling Li said calmly: "I can't be sure, but there will be no mistake in being careful." Although this horse can recognize its owner, even if it does have a sensitive nose like a dog, it is impossible to track hundreds of miles. Maybe this horse is also a bureau, and I can't trust it if it's not something that I have done with my own hands. ”
Mo Ye carefully repeated what he said in his heart, thinking that it was reasonable. The horse was not brought by her, from the time it left the Song Mansion to the time it suddenly appeared in this wilderness, what happened in the middle of a few days, whether it was controlled by anyone, there are really too many variables.
Although animals that recognize their Lord are generally more desperate, this simple loyalty of animals cannot resist the interference of human cunning and wisdom in any way.
But at the same time, she also didn't understand what could be used for a horse?
She said this doubt of herself directly, since she wanted to turn enemies into friends with the young killer sitting on the ground, even if it was a temporary friend, she still thought that it was best to discuss frankly if there was a suspicion that threatened the interests of both parties at the same time.
Hearing her questioning, Ling Li smiled indifferently and said slowly: "If my speculation is correct, the iron palm of this horse should have been replaced, and the purpose of this is self-evident." In addition, although this horse will recognize its lord and its loyalty can be demonstrated, it cannot be ruled out that it may have passively recognized its master, and wherever it passes, it will be followed by another highly spiritual animal or small beast! ”
A chill gradually grew in Mo Ye's heart, she didn't need this experienced killer to explain anything, she already understood the power of his words.
"What then? Do you want to abandon the horse?" Mo Ye bit her lower lip, and after thinking for a while, she couldn't help but say again: "If it is really as you said, this horse cannot be abandoned, and it can only be killed" She didn't finish saying this, because she finally had a trace ......of unbearability in her heart.
In this regard, Ling Li is much calmer and more rational than her, and whether to kill a horse or not is not a question of reluctance, but a question of whether it is worth it.
After a moment's deliberation, he said calmly, "If this horse has been arranged to appear near here in order to track us, then most of the people who will follow him will also be on horseback. Kill the dark horse at this time, and it is likely that the next time we encounter that group of people, it will be difficult to escape. ”
He glanced at the black-haired animal not far away, and then continued, "Using it as a mount can save us some body." As for the question of being followed, then you can only use your strength to determine life and death. This animal is a famous horse, and its endurance and explosiveness are good, and if it can outrun the people who chase after it, even if those people can track our footprints, they will not be close enough, so they can't help it. ”
Hearing his explanation, Mo Ye suddenly felt that the thoughts in his head were bright.
Sure enough, it wasn't in vain that he saved this person, if he had just ridden away like this, he might have completely become a must-have for the pursuers.
However, before she could be happy, she heard the killer smile meaninglessly, and said, "If it weren't too far from the destination, I really didn't want to gamble on this game." For this job, I almost put my life into it, and I died in the hands of a chick like you, no matter how I think about it, I feel unwilling! ”
As soon as Mo Ye heard this, she suddenly felt a dangerous aura coming, and she suddenly realized that she was still plotting with the wolf, but she almost let down her guard completely! Her heart was slightly tight, she hurriedly took five steps back in a row, and her eyes, which were still holding a hint of a relaxed smile just now, suddenly flashed sharply, and she was very vigilant, staring at the person in front of her, and said word by word: "What are you going to do?"
