Joan sighed and said, "Then that would explain why the people in the village disappeared......"

"Why?" Bao Gen asked curiously.

"Because of these hoof prints...... Apparently a group of horseback riders came here, and the people in the village should have been notified in advance, and they withdrew from the village and hid before the group arrived...... "Ruo'an looked at the horses' hooves on the ground while analyzing, such a large number of hoof prints could never be caused by a few horses, at least a dozen or more horses had to pass by, in order to step on such a messy impression of each other.

And who are those who come on horseback?

"Ma'am, what shall we do now?" Bao Gen had realized the seriousness of the matter, if there were really so many people coming to this village and the villagers were hiding, wouldn't it be quite dangerous for them to stand in the middle of the village now? If the group had not left and waited for the villagers to come back and fall into the net, then he and his wife would have been in a very dangerous situation.

Thinking that he had promised Ziyan to protect his wife's safety, Bao Gen immediately raised his spirits, looked around vigilantly, and protected Ruo'an behind him, for fear that someone would come out of nowhere and hurt his wife again......

"Presumably that group of people is no longer there, otherwise we entered the village just now, you shouted so loudly, it's strange if you don't alarm them, since the two of us are still standing here well, it means that they have left, whether they are chasing the villagers is unknown, in short, there is nothing else here except the two of us......" Ruoan analyzed and looked at Baogen. After hearing this, Bao Gen seemed to feel very reasonable, so he responded: "Then let's not stand in the open space, the goal is too big, let's go into the house!" ”

Ruoan nodded, and followed Baogen back to his house. Bao Gen's home is not wealthy, the house is made of mud mixed with wheat straw, and it has fallen into disrepair, and some places have cracked and are swishing into it......

"Did you live here when you were a kid?" Ruoan looked at the humble house and asked, this kind of house. If it rains, it is probably the rhythm of light rain in the house in the heavy rain outside, it seems that this child suffered a lot when he was a child.

Baogen smirked: "My father died early, since I was a child, my mother and I depended on each other, relying on the mountain to dig some medicinal herbs to sell in the market, and later begged someone to find a job in the city." Only then did I come out of the village, and after several journeys, I was fortunate enough to enter the prince's mansion......"

"Then usually your mother lives here alone? Why don't you take her into town? That makes it easier for you to take care of, isn't it? Joan asked.

Baogen sighed: "My mother is very stubborn. She has lived at the foot of a thousand mountains all her life, saying that she is not willing to leave here, she always says that the village is all neighbors for decades, and there is no difference between relatives and relatives, it doesn't matter if I am by my side or not, as long as I can work well. Marry her a daughter-in-law as soon as possible, and she will be satisfied...... She has bad legs and feet, and I don't know how Lu Dao is now......"

Bao Gen's voice was low and slightly hoarse. Ruoan understood that he was worried about the safety of his mother, and went home with joy, but what caught his eyes was such a scene, and no one would feel good in his heart.

"Don't worry too much, your mother should be with the villagers, we will definitely find her ......" Ruoan said with relief. Baogen nodded: "Well, madam, you rest first, I'll go boil some tea to quench your thirst......"

Ruoan nodded, and Baogen walked out with the rough teapot. Ruo'an stood in front of the window, looking at the thousands of mountains that had disappeared into the sky and the sun that was about to set westward, and her heart was heavy, not only because she was worried about Leng Chen's safety, but also because the inexplicable disappearance of the entire village undoubtedly added another layer of weight to her already heavy heart, what did this group of people come to do? Could it be General Hollin's men? As soon as he thought of Huo Lin, Ruo An shook his head and denied it, although Huo Lin was also ordered to come to Qianshan to collect medicine, but the people would not dodge like this when they saw them, they must be afraid of the people to hide, General Huo Lin would never do such a thing to hurt the people.

Ruo'an thought about it, and naturally associated this group of people with the people who purchased medicinal materials in the city, the so-called wealth, there is nothing that cannot be bought with money, including such a horse team......

When Ruoan was still trying to sort out his thoughts, Baogen came in with a tea bowl, and he said to Ruoan: "Madame, drink some tea, although there is no good tea, but this leaf green tea is unique to Qianshan, the taste is sweet, very refreshing, if Madame doesn't dislike it, come and taste it......" said and handed over a cup of turquoise and clear tea bowl, Ruoan took the bowl, and saw the tea leaves floating inside, like the tips of the hair in the world, the leaves are slender, and the brewing is also so clear, Ruoan took a sip, the taste is also very similar, she smiled faintly, Turning around and looking at the thousand mountains, looking at the picturesque scenery, if you can go back to this small village with Leng Chen to spend the rest of your life together, maybe it will also be a good choice.

After resting for a while, and simply using some dry food, Ruoan and Baogen set off into the Thousand Mountains together, although Baogen tried his best to dissuade Ruoan from entering the mountains at night, the beasts came out at night to forage, and it would be dangerous, but for Leng Chen's illness, she couldn't afford to delay for a moment.

Seeing that his wife was so resolute, Baogen could only sacrifice his life to accompany him, and he also had the urge to quickly help Ruo'an find medicine so that he could find his mother. In order to avoid possible dangers on the road, Bao Gen deliberately took two machetes around his waist, hung a bow and arrows on his back, and took hemostatic herbs, cloth strips and other things and stuffed them into his arms in case there was any danger on the road, and found a delicate and short dagger from Orion's house and handed it to Joandao: "Madam, you take this for self-defense...... This is the most precious thing in our village Zhou Orion's daily life, and he didn't take it with him when he left, which shows how rushed he was......"

Joan patted him on the shoulder: "Don't be discouraged, we will find them, and your mother......"

Bao Gen nodded, smiled at Ruo'an, and handed a torch head to her hand: "When you go into the mountain at night, there will definitely be a lot of snakes, insects and ant monsters, Madame should pay attention to your feet when walking, it will be better to catch up with fire, and this, Madame can wear a ...... that can repel insects" Baogen said and took out a bag of things wrapped in gauze from his arms and stuffed it into Ruoan's hand.

If you put it in your nose and smell it, it has a faint fragrance, and it tastes a little like the sachet you bought when you were a child at the market.

"Thank you, thank you......" Joan smiled.

Baogen scratched his head, a little embarrassed: "Madame is too polite, this is as it should be......"

Joan smiled, tightened his belt, tied his trousers, and took advantage of the dim sunset to go up the mountain.

As soon as he entered the Thousand Mountains, the big tree that covered the sky blocked the already faint light, and his vision darkened suddenly.

Don't look at Bao Gen's stiff movements on horseback, as soon as he enters the mountains, he is flexible like a monkey, those steep cliffs are smooth and difficult to climb in Ruo'an's eyes, Bao Gen can jump to them in just a few steps, so that Ruoan can't help but be impressed.

With the leadership of Bao Gen, the journey went smoothly, and it didn't take much trouble to climb halfway up the mountain, but the sky was already dark, and he had to light the torch in his hand as a last resort.

Ruo'an was already tired and out of breath, and there was still a road when he first entered the mountain, but gradually he didn't even have a road, so he could only follow Baogen behind him and shuttle through the thorn bushes, and he had to tie his trousers before going up the mountain, otherwise he would definitely not know how many openings were drawn.

"How far do you have to go?" Ruoan asked, gasping for breath.

Bao Gen looked around and said: "Soon, it's around here, Schisandra likes to grow on the stone wall of the mountainside in this area, I have encountered a few pieces of medicine on weekdays, they are all quite large groups of Schisandra, let's walk for a while and you can see it!" ”

Ruo'an nodded, she was a little excited in her heart, thinking that she would be able to pick Schisandra with her own hands to cure Leng Chen, and suddenly she had the strength again, and insisted on continuing to move forward.

When Bao Gen took Ruoan to a stone wall, he suddenly stopped and stared at the stone wall with his eyes. ”

Baogen didn't speak, still standing dumbfounded, Ruo'an immediately went over and asked, "What's wrong?" What do you see? ”

Baogen stretched out his finger not far away, the night was too heavy she couldn't see what it was at all, only felt a black piece, Ruoan took a few steps forward with a torch, saw the whole picture of the stone wall, and suddenly her heart sank!

The reason why Ruo'an looked black was because the stone wall, plus a large area below, had all been burned by fire, and the black piece was the residue of Schisandra that had been burned to ashes......

"How so? How could it be burned? Joan asked.

Bao Gen shook his head and said incomprehensible: "I don't know how to do it...... How can a good one be burned......"

Ruo'an's heart cooled, and she was even more convinced that the group of centaurs was coming for Schisandra, and they had only one goal, that is, to prevent anyone from getting Schisandra, and they would not give up until they watched Leng Chen die of poison!

Ruo'an froze in place, almost collapsing, while Baogen approached the charred land, squatted down to examine it carefully, and then leaned on the ground and sniffed: "Madam, this place has been burned for a long time, and even the smell is very light, presumably someone has been here before......"

"Is there any other place for schisandra? Take me to see it! Ruo'an became more and more afraid in her heart, if that group of people was really so powerful, then all the schisandra on this thousand mountains would suffer, she must not look at the only remaining opportunity to waste the soup, regardless of the physical exhaustion, and urged Baogen to take her to the next place quickly. (To be continued......)
