Chapter 273: Silver is Hope
Now, Xu Jiaojiao has one hundred and ninety taels on hand, but there are actually two hundred and sixty taels.
If this box of things is sold in the county seat, it will be twenty or thirty taels of silver at most, and it will be brought to Bingyang City all the way in vain.
Several people were delighted.
Especially Erlang, he was full of energy, "Auntie, now, the hope of rescuing the fourth uncle is greater, great." ”
Not really.
At a time like this, silver is hope.
As soon as the three of them left the store, Xu Jiaojiao was going to buy some snacks with the characteristics of Bingyang City to try.
Suddenly, there was a commotion on the street.
"Let's go, big guy, let's go! Another man in the snowy mountains has gone crazy......"
"Hurry up, there is a magic hand medical hall in front, let's send someone over for treatment......"
"Ouch, don't bite Lao Tzu, Lao Tzu is your father! You bastard bastard son of a bitch......"
……
Xu Jiaojiao and the others gathered around to watch the excitement.
The crowd on the street, which had been crowded, was squeezed into two queues, and there was a road left in between, and I saw several men who were helping, tied up a young strong young man, who had a hideous and terrible face, his hands and feet were tied, and he was struggling frantically, struggling not to move, and could only turn his head, and he bit people everywhere with his mouth, and let out an excited roar.
At first glance, it's really crazy!
Someone in the crowd started talking.
"What's going on!"
Someone who knew started gossiping, "Hey, you don't know, do you? I was sent to the front hospital to see a doctor......"
Xu Jiaojiao looked up and looked ahead, there was indeed a medical center, and the signboard was not small.
It's called the Wonder Hands Clinic.
"I've gone crazy a few times in the past few days, it is said that the snowy mountain outside the city is haunted, and these people have gone crazy since they came down from the snowy mountain! Isn't this being touched by a ghost? ”
"Phew, you don't know anything, how can there be any ghostly chatter, Lu Miaoshou from the Miaoshou Medical Center said that he was poisoned and poisoned, do you know? It's good if the poison is detoxified. ”
"What's that poison? Will it drive people crazy? ”
……
When Xu Jiaojiao heard this, her heart moved.
She suddenly remembered Sun Zhijian's words, Snow Stone Lotus grows on the top of a snowy mountain, is a kind of insect, after biting people, it will make people hallucinate and cause abnormal behavior.
Similar to this situation?
She couldn't help but ask the onlookers who knew about it, "Fellow, fellow, where is the snow-capped mountain you are talking about?" What is your name? ”
That fellow is a local, and as soon as she heard Xu Jiaojiao's accent, she knew that she was a girl from other places.
Look at her dressed in rustic, she must be from the countryside, and she has no knowledge.
But it also stimulated his desire to be provocative.
"Little girl, you are a foreigner, this snow mountain, just outside the Bingyang City, about one or twenty miles, is also called the Bingyang Snow Mountain. When you enter the city, you should have seen the rolling snow-capped mountains......"
As soon as she said this, Xu Jiaojiao had an impression.
"There is such a distant mountain, looking far away, very beautiful! Isn't it, Liao Qing? ”
"Yes." Liao Qing was drawn into the audience, and the fellow spoke more energetically.
"This year's winter came early, the weather is colder, the ice and snow on the snow-capped mountains in previous years are not thick, this year it is said that they are almost submerged above the waist, the ice is also very thick, and the scenery on the top of the snow-capped mountains is good, so there are often idlers who go up the mountain to enjoy the snow......"
Xu Jiaojiao asked with interest, "Enjoy the snow?" Isn't it going hunting? ”
The fellow straightened his big fur hat and grinned, "Hey, little girl, Bingyang City is a big capital, there are not many others, there are many people, there is no prey on the surrounding mountains for dozens of miles, it has long been gone, and the beasts are about to become extinct, so the scenic spot has been excavated and sorted out for people to play and enjoy the snow." ”
"Oh! So, has this happened on the snowy mountains before? Xu Jiaojiao continued.
"It seems that there have been, but not often, depending on the weather. If the weather is cold and the snow is thick and the ice is thick, there will be demon moths on the top of the mountain, and the government has also sent people to check, but no reason has been found, sometimes the people of the government will be poisoned and crazy when they go by themselves, usually it will be fine after a few days, but some are crazy and crazy, no one cares, and they will kill themselves......"
Xu Jiaojiao said curiously, "Ah! What's going on? How did he die? ”
The fellow is silent and speechless, "Hey, when people go crazy, they can do anything, some take off their clothes in public, some eat their own meat, some like to jump under the cliff down the mountain, some cry so much that they hang their necks, some jump into the well and river, toss casually, anyway, aren't they all crazy, crazy to death!" Our locals generally know that the snow is extremely cold and you can't go up the mountain, the barbarians from other places don't understand, you have to go to see the places of interest, but also take advantage of the heavy snow, when the mountain is generally snowing, the road will be closed, and there are signs to remind that you can't go up the mountain, but some people like to ......die by themselves if they can't stand it."
During Xu Jiaojiao's cordial conversation with her fellow villagers, the crazy strong young man had been sent to the Miaoshou Medical Hall.
At first, there was a movement of the boss in the medical hall, and then it gradually calmed down.
Presumably the doctor came to the rescue.
There were a lot of people watching the excitement outside the Miaoshou Medical Hall, and Xu Jiaojiao wanted to go over to have a look, but they couldn't squeeze forward.
I thanked the fellow and took his leave.
Xu Jiaojiao bought some simple food and divided the three portions equally.
"Erlang, you go back to the inn and wait for news from your uncle......"
Erlang was named and said in amazement, "Auntie, what are you going to do?" ”
Xu Jiaojiao looked in the direction outside the city, "I'll go with your Uncle Liao Qing to go outside on the Bingyang Snow Mountain." ”
Liao Qing glanced at Xu Jiaojiao, thoughtful.
"What? What do you want in the snowy mountains? ”
Xu Jiaojiao and Liao Qingti never mentioned the matter of Xue Shilian, what is Liao Qing's brain circuit, you can see at a glance the purpose of her going to the snow mountain.
"I'm the recipe for the tranquilizer pill last time, and I have a taste of medicinal herbs, my senior brother said, it is generally found in the extremely cold snow-capped mountains, so I'll try my luck."
In this way, Liao Qing understood.
The one on the Niangniang Temple is suspected to be the recipe given by the Jin Miracle Doctor.
Not surprisingly, it should be an excellent prescription.
It's also worth taking a risk on the snowy mountains.
It's rare to come to a place like Bingyang City with cold weather, if it is on the mountain of Liaojia Village, Xujia Village, their hometown, it is impossible to find it in a lifetime.
"Okay, then let's go and go back quickly, while it's still early."
Erlang didn't understand what Xu Jiaojiao said, and he didn't plan to ask in detail, anyway, the recipes of the old aunt were super powerful, and he didn't understand it when he told him.
