Chapter 070: The Old Man in the Valley

Mo Nineteen roughly measured all the footprints by the river, and judging from the size and shape of the footprints, it was very consistent with the characteristics of three men and three women.

"It seems that this is indeed the trace left by the donkey friend group when they stayed overnight", Mo Nineteen got up and was about to greet Jiang Wen'er, when Jiang Wen'er suddenly heard a scream from the grass not far away.

"What's wrong?" Mo Nineteen was excited, and suddenly rushed towards the place where Jiang Wen'er was.

In the grass in front of Jiang Wen'er, an old man with gray hair fell to the ground, his face pale and sweating.

"What's wrong with you?" Mo Nineteen walked over and prepared to help the old man up.

The old man shook his head weakly: "Don't help me, I was bitten by a poisonous snake, and now my whole body is weak."

"Where's the wound?" Mo Nineteen hurriedly asked. At this time, Jiang Wen'er also walked to the old man's side.

The old man gasped and pointed to his calf, and Mo Jiu hurriedly rolled up his pants for him. There were two small holes the size of a needle's eye side by side on the old man's calf, and black blood was bubbling at the moment, and the circle next to the small hole had turned dark and blue, and even began to swell.

"Snakes are very poisonous, and if they are not treated, it will be too late," Mo 19 said.

"What then?" Jiang Wen'er asked.

"You go to the river to get some water, and I'll help him suck the snake venom out," Mo 19 said.

"Snake venom?" Jiang Wen'er was stunned: "No, it's too dangerous."

Mo Jiujiu shook his head: "This kind of wilderness place, there is only this way, you go and fetch water, I'm fine."

"Are you really okay?" Jiang Wen'er's worries were palpable.

Mo Nineteen smiled calmly: "It's really okay, this bit of snake venom is nothing to me."

Jiang Wen'er was skeptical, but seeing that the old man on the ground was about to die, Jiang Wen'er had no choice but to nod and turn around to fetch water. Mo Nineteen didn't care much about this, so he prostrate himself and began to help the old man suck snake venom with his mouth.

The snake venom was soon sucked out, Jiang Wen'er cleaned the wound of the old man with water, then took out the first aid kit and bandaged the old man simply. When Mo Nineteen came back from rinsing his mouth from the river, the two worked together to carry the old man to the open space outside the grass.

After being bitten by a poisonous snake, as long as the venom can be cleaned up in time, the danger will come and go quickly, so in less than ten minutes, the old man will get better.

"Thank you for saving me", the old man looked grateful.

Mo Jiujiu waved his hand: "The old man is not polite, since this kind of thing has been encountered by us, naturally we will not stand idly by."

The old man smiled and didn't speak, and then Jiang Wen'er asked, "Old man, why are you alone in this valley?" ”

The old man sighed: "I went into the valley to pick herbs, but I didn't expect to be bitten by a poisonous snake, fortunately I met you, otherwise my old life would have been confessed today."

Mo Nineteen and Jiang Wen'er suddenly realized.

"You're travelers into the valley?" The old man looked at the two of them for a few moments, then turned his head and asked.

Mo Jiujiu and Jiang Wen'er nodded one after another.

"I heard that the scenery of the Purple Valley is beautiful, and we came here," Mo 19 said.

The old man nodded, looking a little tired.

Mo Jiu hurriedly said: "Old man, you have just been bitten by a poisonous snake, so let's take a good rest first."

The old man nodded slightly, and began to close his eyes and recuperate.

Mo Jiujiu and Jiang Wen'er also found a place to sit down and began to take out dry food to replenish their strength.

After about twenty minutes or so, the old man opened his eyes, and at this time his face was ruddy, and his eyes were sharp, and he should have fully recovered.

An old man's recovery ability was so strong, which made the two of them a little surprised, Jiang Wen'er took out a part of the dry food from her backpack and sent it to the old man: "Old man, you can eat something too."

The old man waved his hand, stood up from the ground, and smiled kindly: "Thank you girl, for your kindness, I brought food in the medicine basket." After saying that, he went to the grass and picked out his medicine basket, took out a green cake from it, and began to eat it heavily.

The cake had a special aroma, and Mo Shijiu and Jiang Wen'er could smell it from a few meters away.

"Old man, what are you made of this cake? The smell is so special, isn't it? Jiang Wen'er asked curiously.

The old man smiled: "It's just ordinary glutinous rice cakes, but I added some herbs to strengthen the body."

Mo Jiu and Jiang Wen'er suddenly realized, no wonder the old man's recovery ability was so strong, it turned out that he usually fed on herbs.

Mo Nineteen and Jiang Wen'er sat down and rested for a while, and when the old man finished eating the cake, Mo Nineteen stood up and asked, "Old man, do you still want to continue picking herbs, we are ready to go."

The old man looked up at the sky, shook his head and said, "It's noon, it's time for me to go back."

Mo Jiu nodded: "Then let's go first." After speaking, he and Jiang Wen'er, who had already stood up next to him, were about to leave, and at this time the old man said: "You have seen more than half of the scenery of this purple valley, and further back, the road will become more and more difficult to walk, are you sure you want to continue?" ”

Mo Nineteen said with a smile: "Those who have come to play specifically can't give up halfway."

The old man said: "Young is good, the scenery behind will be better, you should set off quickly, don't delay time."

The two nodded, turned around and walked towards the Purple Valley, but just a few steps, the old man behind suddenly said in HX Chinese: "You are HX nationals."

Mo Jiu and Jiang Wen'er stopped in surprise, turned around and asked, "Old man, you are also from HX?" ”

The old man smiled: "The roots are in HX, but I have lived here for decades."

Mo Nineteen and Jiang Wen'er suddenly realized.

"What's your name?" The old man asked.

"My name is Mo Nineteen".

"My name is Jiang Wen'er."

The old man nodded: "My name is Su Chenjiang, I live in Xizi Village in Gukou, you go to Xizi Village to find me when you go out of the valley, I haven't seen my hometown for a long time, not to mention that you saved me."

Mo Jiujiu and Jiang Wen'er both nodded.

"Got it, old man".

The two said goodbye to Su Chenjiang and continued to walk towards the Purple Valley.

Compared with the scenery in front, there is more danger in the back, and even the road is more difficult. Mo Nineteen naturally had no problem, but Jiang Wen'er was a little struggling.

In order to take care of Jiang Wen'er, the two of them took a break while walking, and when they arrived at a particularly difficult area, Mo Shijiu stopped and took Jiang Wen'er's hand. It is not the first time that the two have held hands since they met, but the feelings in their hearts are completely different from before.

Holding hands at this time was Mo Nineteen's care and Jiang Wen'er's dependence, and a taste of happiness unconsciously rose in the hearts of the two. However, the two seem to have reached a tacit understanding, and no one broke it.
