Chapter 122: Back and forth
"Is the matter of the Land of the Wind settled?"
Shikamaru sat on a high branch, dangling his legs and listening to Ah Fei's report.
"Lord Nagato has reached an agreement with the Daimyo of the Land of Wind, and the two sides have made a truce. Although the village was unwilling, under the orders of the shogunate, he still endured it. ”
After this war, the prestige of Shayin Village deteriorated day by day, but Luyin Village began to receive more attention and hostility.
Sand Hidden Village and Luyin Village are already mortal enemies, but Shikamaru is not worried, Sand Hidden Village has lost a lot of combat power, and in a short time, it will not start a second war.
The grass and trees in the forest disturbed, and the sound of small footsteps came to them. Shikamaru nodded to Ah Fei next to him, and the other party's figure immediately melted into the shadows like mud.
Walking over was a red-haired girl in a leather dress and a short skirt, dressed like a South China Sea. He didn't seem to notice Shikamaru's existence, what was he looking for in the woodland?
"What are you doing here?"
Shikamaru asked curiously.
The sudden sound startled the girl, and when she looked up, she found Shikamaru, who was about the same size as herself, sitting on a branch, and relaxed.
"Who are you and what are you doing here?"
"Ahh I got lost, so I wanted to climb a little higher. ”
The girl looked disgusted and said, "The woods here are very dense, and it is not only dangerous for you to climb so high, but it is also useless. So be it! You follow me, I'll take you out! ”
The girl was simple-minded, and when she looked at Shikamaru, who was about the same size as him, she was defenseless.
Shikamaru learns from her conversation that her name is Yuru and that she has come to this forest to collect herbs.
"Did you know there's a rainforest here? There are a lot of poisonous snakes and beasts, and some strange statues and so on. ”
Above the fire was a makeshift grill with two fish caught.
Yuliu is very bold, otherwise she would not have broken into this forest alone to collect herbs.
The night was a little cold, and she curled up beside the fire, looking a little lonely.
"I know, the place you're talking about is near our village. If it weren't for the fact that I was going to study medicine with my teacher recently, I could have taken you there. ”
"Your teacher?"
"That's right, my teacher is the most prestigious doctor in the area. I just came out to collect herbs for the injured villagers to use without telling him. ”
Yuliu was filled with pride when he talked about his teacher. Then, she began to recount in detail the deeds of her teacher.
In the end, Yuliu actually fell asleep by herself.
Ah Fei's figure reappeared from the darkness, glanced at Yuliu who was sleeping, and said softly: "Lord, we have investigated the wandering doctors in the neighborhood these days, and what this girl said should be the most likely one." ”
"Is that so?"
The first rays of the sun shone on the earth, and the cold in the forest did not dissipate, but was a little colder than the night.
The bonfire was already in ashes, and Yuliu sneezed and woke up in the cold, and an urgent voice came to her ears.
"Yuliu, where are you?"
After Yuliu listened, he quickly stood up in Shikamaru's suppressed eyes.
"Teacher, I'm here!"
An old man quickly ran over, and when he saw that Yuliu was safe, he was obviously relieved.
"Yuliu, I told you, it's dangerous here, don't run over alone."
The old man's body is strong, although he is full of gray hair, but he does not have the breath of the old man's twilight in his actions.
The old man glanced at Shikamaru next to him, and a strange color light flashed in his eyes.
"Yuliu, who is this young man?"
"He's a friend I just met, called Shikamaru."
Yuliu stood in front of the old man and said, "He is the teacher I am talking about, the most famous wandering doctor in the neighborhood. ”
"Shikamaru?"
The old man muttered the name, and soon thought of something, but he didn't say it.
The three of them returned to Yuliu's village, and on the way, they could see that there were dying villagers everywhere.
"Over the years, I have traveled all over the villages, and in addition to treating people from all over the world, I have also looked for various herbal remedies. Because of the close rainforest where the villagers live, they are infected with the poisonous miasma plague from time to time. Although I have put in place a lot of medical precautions, there are still lapses. ”
The old man introduced the situation of Yuliu Village, it is said that a few days ago, the name of a village was bitten by a mosquito in the rainforest, and did not receive timely treatment, and soon, the village was infected with a new type of epidemic.
The old man had been looking for a cure for the disease all this time, but the effect was not significant.
"Maybe I can help."
The old man's eyes narrowed, and he couldn't figure out what Shikamaru wanted to do for a while?
"Really?"
Yuliu looked a little disbelieving, after all, the teacher he longed for the most had no way for the time being, what could this kid in front of him do?
Shikamaru took out a scroll, summoned a small refrigerator from it, and took out a small bottle of potion.
Shikamaru shook the potion in the bottle slightly and handed it to Yuryu.
"Let's try it!"
This is a potion extracted from plants in the other world by Orochimaru, and at that time he boasted that it could cure all diseases, and Shikamaru didn't know if it was true?
Yuliu was skeptical, glanced at the old man, and heard him say, "Take it and try it!" A few villagers have been sick for a long time, and I'm afraid they won't be able to survive tonight. ”
The three of them went to a separate epidemic area in the village, where there were more than a dozen dying villagers.
Yuliu fed the villagers who had finally contracted the disease and drank the potion, and then stood aside to observe the reaction of the subsequent patients.
At first, the patients who took the medicine were calm and normal, but after half an hour, their bodies reacted violently.
Shikamaru stood aside and watched, not feeling lifted in his heart.
This guy Orochimaru can't be a fake medicine!
Fortunately, after a long distance of reaction, the villagers who took the medicine breathed much easier.
The old man possessed and checked the condition of several people, and finally nodded and said, "It has an effect!" The situation of these villagers is indeed improving. ”
Yuliu's face that had just been frozen suddenly dissolved, and he trotted over with a hopeful light in his eyes, looked at Shikamaru, and asked, "Is there any more of that kind of potion?" ”
"Yes, yes, but I didn't have it with me, so I'm going back to get it."
Yuliu's eyes dimmed for a moment, these villagers were very sick, if they went back and forth, how much time would it take?
"How much time do you have to go back and forth?"
The old man asked.
"Ten minutes!"
“.......!”
In the astonished eyes of everyone, Shikamaru used reverse spiritism to return to the base of the Great Snake Pill in Longdi Cave, took the potion, and then returned to Yuliu's village.
Looking at Shikamaru who appeared again, the old man's face was full of relieved smiles, but there was a little more vigilance in his eyes.
