Chapter 35: There is no cure

There was no one in the village.

The work utensils were casually dumped in their original places, and through the window, you could see the cold food of several families on the table. But all the villagers disappeared from the world and disappeared. Bai Ya knew that they couldn't stay here for too long, the pursuers behind them would come soon, and they couldn't throw off enough distance in a short period of time. Qi Huan cast a spell on the shore, and with the help of a charm, it blinded the perception of the pursuers for a short time - similar to a blinding method. They lingered in place for a long time, which bought them time to escape.

"Is there only such a small number of villagers here?"

"I don't know." Qi Huan couldn't answer Jun Aoyan's question, "But in my impression, there should be more than just people who catch up." Did anyone else leave? ”

Bai Ya glanced around: "No one packed their bags and left, but it doesn't seem like something happened suddenly." ”

Qi Huan doesn't remember. Judging by the number of houses, more than half of the believers did pour into the sea at that time, and the rest may not be there, or may not be able to leave. Among the remnant, there should be some old and some young. But now they are gone. Whether it is the Yaksha group or the believers who believe in the god of the sea, what these two people are thinking, their behavior patterns and motives are all mysteries to the three of them. At the moment, they don't need to figure this out.

Most doors and stores are open. Qi Huan swaggered in, beckoning them to search for useful things as fast as they could. The most useful for them is nothing more than food and medicine. For time reasons, they only roughly rummaged through four or five places in total. One of them looked to be a pharmacy, and Qi Huan lifted the lid of a box, revealing white powder inside. Reaching inside, he saw that it might have been some kind of mineral ash mixed with sea salt, and the greengill grass preserved in it kept the air out. Qi Huan grabbed many strange medicinal herbs one by one and poured them all into a cloth pocket. It's a big deal, just turn around and slowly separate.

Next to the pharmacy is a building like a temple or ancestral hall, but there is no worship of the ancestors, and the "tablet" is written only by the name and the number under the name. If the number is age, then they are all a group of children, maybe they are the boys and girls of the past. The sheer number of them is staggering.

The large shrine in the center is flanked on the left and right by hideous Yaksha sculptures, and they are also strangely shaped, many of them holding different weapons in their hands. They had all seen those weapons in the hands of the Yakshas. If it were the first time they saw such a sculpture, they would have wondered. But now it seems that the so-called three heads and six arms are not just exaggerated.

But...... The inside of the shrine was empty. Probably no one knows what the sea god looks like to this day. Or, the non-existent appearance is the true appearance of the sea god.

Qi Huan found their box in the ancestral hall and basically never touched it. Jun Aoyan pulled out three horses from someone else's house, and although they looked sick, now was not the time to be picky. Bai Ya asked her to open all the cattle and sheep pens, and she was puzzled, but she did so. There are not many animals that are specially bred on the seashore, and it is estimated that they are traded with other parts of the mainland. Bai Ya casually scavenged some food, all of which were very ordinary things. Rice and noodles are not common on this remote coast, and may come from the same sources as those livestock. Leaving all the luggage, food, and herbs on the horses, the horses were already reluctant.

"How to get there?" Qi Huan asked, "I said in advance, I don't want to go through that forest." ”

"I have a way."

After that, Bai Ya took out a fire fold and ignited it. The other two had no idea what he meant, so they had to leave with him before the fire spread. After a while, the few chickens, dogs, cattle and sheep in the village were in trouble. They screamed sharply and ran around the village. Fire is always the most instinctive fear of animals. In a short time, the animals rushed through the village to the wide, silent path behind the village. In the panic, there was not a small animal entering the dense forest. It's as if all the little ones know what unspeakable power lurks in that place.

"It looks like we're still going to have to go through the village."

"And if the rest of the villagers are ambushed on the road?" Qi Huan asked.

"Then you choose."

"When I didn't say it."

Soon there was a strange cry behind them, the voice of the Yaksha they had long been accustomed to. Are they angry? For these people who did not catch up with the blasphemous. If they were still rational, was this crying and screaming in remembrance of these houses that were about to be burned down? Nobody knows.

As for where to go next, they don't have a clue. Before dark, they just rode their horses and went as deep as they could on the road. The road grew narrower and narrower, and became no longer like a road, but only a path trodden by travelers. It was getting dark, and the horses were getting more and more lazy, and they were reluctant to walk. They had to stop and find a clearing to rest.

"It would be nice if I could go down in one go, and I don't know if I will be caught up."

"You said it easily......" Qi Huan tapped his shoulder, "Aren't you tired?" I'm almost falling apart by now. ”

"You're exercising too little."

"!" Qi Huan pinched the bridge of his nose and scratched his right arm unconsciously with his left hand, "I was taken ashore by a monster before, and the speed was too fast, and I actually felt like seasickness when I came up." Ah, I was just seasick when I was very young. But the feeling is not so simple, the whole body is itchy, the joints hurt, the flesh also hurts, and there is nothing right...... Sometimes I can't breathe, and I feel dizzy and nauseous for a while. ”

Bai Ya lit a fire, and the moment it lit up, Qi Huan saw his solemn expression. Most of the time before, his expression seemed as if he didn't care about anything, but now it suddenly seemed like a different person.

"You may be sick."

"What disease? Cold? ”

"When I traveled with my father to the seaside, I learned that people often die of a disease. If you go into the water or go too fast, you can have a seizure. It sounds like you're having a similar symptom. At the time, we thought it was a parasite or some other infectious disease, but if you say that, it may have something to do with the pressure of the water. Some of the corpses still have bubbles under their skins. ”

"No, don't scare me at this time, okay?"

"Look for yourself, you have red nets on your arms. There were also strange bruises on those dead people. ”

Qi Huan immediately lowered his head, and found that in addition to the marks that had been scratched, there was also something like a reddish-purple vascular network. It's not obvious, but it's there. He was a little nervous and didn't dare to scratch it anymore.

"Then how can this thing be cured?"

"I don't know, maybe you can raise it for a while."

"I don't want to raise myself to death."

"Probably not, you're not serious. Severe cases are generally killed on the spot. ”

“……”

The two of you said a word to me, and no one noticed Jun Aoyan, who had been silent. Qi Huan turned his head and saw her leaning against the stone, her face covered with cold sweat and her face pale, and she felt that something was not right. Bai Ya also stood up immediately, and quickly stepped over the fire, he touched Ao Yan's forehead, it was very hot. Qi Huan also took the pulse, and his face was ominous.

“…… I'll boil some fever-reducing medicine first. Look at her injuries. ”

Bai Ya lifted the place where she was dressing the medicine and found that it was already red. A strong smell of blood came to my face. No wonder along the way, they are always surrounded by flies here. There was no smell of decay for the time being, and he had to clean the wound with water to check the damage further. Jun Aoyan lay down on her side, her body had no strength, but her breathing was still stable and her consciousness was very clear, but she didn't know anything about the changes in her body.

Although Bai Ya was very economical, rinsing the wound almost ran out of drinking water. The water that swept through the wound turned red, and he realized that the bleeding could not be stopped. He immediately asked Qi Huan to bring clean gauze to temporarily stop the bleeding.

"Where's the medicine?"

"There's no more to put on it. It can be matched now, but、But ......"

"But what?"

"All the herbs are mixed together......"

In the coconut shells roasted on the fire were the last medicine they had prepared and could be clearly distinguished. Bai Ya didn't speak, and covered a coat after Jun Aoyan stopped the bleeding, and Qi Huan also took off his own and handed it over. Then, Bai Ya quietly began to sort all the medicinal materials in Qi Huan's cloth pocket. He quickly picks out the large pieces first, and then sorts out the things that are obviously particles. Some of the medicines were very similar, and after a while, he threw down a handful of dried leaves in irritation.

"What the hell are you pretending to be?"

"Well, time was of the essence. Don't panic, the ones I caught don't have any adverse reactions to each other. Even if you use it wrong, it's not a big problem, you don't need to divide it too carefully...... By the way, don't we have the treasure of the sea god? How do you use that! ”

"In the baggage, find it yourself."

Both of them know that the kind of thing that exceeds common sense cognition will not be used by ordinary people in the first place. It's a little less urgent now. Qi Huan has time to study it. I don't know if it's because of the rush on the road or other reasons, the ore below has been detached from the main body, and Qi Huan looked at the fork for a long time before remembering that something was wrong. He rummaged through the package again, only to find the blue gem stuck in the gap.

The shape of the gemstone is less irregular, basically close to a sphere. It is large relative to the gemstone, and an adult male's index finger and thumb wrap around it. It's blue all over, it's pure, it's not variegated, but there's something cloudy like a bubble in the middle, or it's flocculent. And the gem was light, lighter than any ore of the same size he imagined.

"I think the key to the so-called treasure is on this stone." Qi Huan said.

"So how do you use it?"

"Then how do I know? Look? It's pretty light, is it really a gem? ”

Bai Ya put down the medicinal herbs in one hand, took the gem and looked at it. As soon as he got it in his hand, he shook it and said:

"Like amber."

"You think it's light, don't you? I'm not without doubts, but how can amber be blue? It's still such a pure blue. I've heard that amber is made by the tears of a tiger falling into the soil, so some of the amber has worms in it. But how did this get to the sea? ”

"Some worms have wings, how can they burrow into the soil."

"Some people say it's a beehive."

"It's not just bees, it's flowers and plants."

"So I'm more inclined to resin, which is written in some books. As for whether it was a maple or a pine, it was uncertain. ”

"Shouldn't it be in the sea?"

"The vicissitudes of life, who knows how to fall into the sea." Qi Huan carefully removed the coconut shell from the fire, "As for this color...... Maybe it's infiltrated with other minerals. If it's really amber, this one is a water urchin. ”

Bai Ya looked at it again in the firelight. He only knew that those crystals or jade with water urchins were very expensive, and that water urchin amber was unseen. If you look closely, the flocculent is really a bubble, transparent with light, as if there is something flowing in it.

How does it work?
