As soon as it was dawn the next day, Bai Ling heard a knock on the door outside: "Bai girl, I'm sorry to disturb you so early, Jin'er has promised to go up the mountain with us, let's set off after a stick of incense, do you think it's okay?" ”

"Okay." Bai Ling and Shangguan Yu came out of the space, responded casually, and then began to pack the things prepared in the space and take them with them.

There is plenty of time in the space, cough cough, except for the time when Shangguan Yu was making trouble, they were resting very well. It's just that going up the mountain is equivalent to an unknown expedition after all, so the white-collar workers not only prepared soft armor for her and Shangguan Yu to wear on their bodies, but also made a herbal medicine bag for mosquitoes, insects, snakes and rats for each of the people who were selected to go to the mountain.

Because of the urgency of time, Bai Ling didn't have so much time to embroider purses for everyone, so he took simple linen and cut them into cloth bags.

When she went out, she saw a few people waiting in the yard, walked over and handed the packed cloth bag to Song Yi.

Song Yi also changed the previous outfit of the handsome boy today and changed into a neat brocade dress, which looks a little more masculine.

Jin Xiangyu's body is still weak, and she wears men's clothes like Bai Ling for convenience, but she is not wearing heavy makeup today, revealing her pale face, as if she may faint at any time.

Probably to take care of her conveniently, so Song Yi arranged for a little maid in men's clothes to support her, and when she saw Bai Ling, Jin Xiangyu took the initiative to come over: "Miss Bai, I think clearly, you and I are willing to go up the mountain to find an antidote for me, I have no reason to give up on myself, looking for an antidote, there is Miss Lao Bai." ”

Jin Xiangyu's attitude has changed a lot, presumably Song Yi has talked to her, as for how the two of them sorted out the confused account of their feelings, Bai Ling didn't want to ask.

After all, there is such a thing as feelings, such as people drinking water, cold and warm, and only two parties can carry it clearly.

"It's best if you want to open, it's fate for everyone to meet, didn't Miss Jin say that we are friends, in that case, needless to say, let's set off early!"

Bai Ling didn't want to delay the time, so he greeted Song Yi and the group went out.

A group of six people and two carriages ran all the way towards Jiming Mountain.

Because of the early departure, the sun had just risen when several people arrived at the foot of the mountain. With Jin Xiangyu leading the way, their purpose is very clear, so the speed of going up the mountain is much faster.

According to Jin Xiangyu, she usually doesn't go too far to pick flowers and herbs, so she is probably located on the mountainside on the west side, so they went all the way west and soon came to the vicinity of their destination.

It's just that because of the cold winter, most of the grass and trees on this mountain are withered, and standing halfway up the mountain, I always feel that there is less life on this mountain.

That's right, life!

"Shangguan, have you noticed something strange on this mountain?"

"Well, it's really strange, such a big mountain, except for one of us, we have never seen it, and it's not even ......"

"Even all the way we went, we didn't hear a birdsong!"

"Ling'er is becoming more and more alert." Shangguan looked at Bai Ling and couldn't help but praise.

However, the problems they found made the two of them a little worried. Normally, even though it is winter, you can still hear the cries of some birds and insects that do not need to hibernate.

"Shangguan, look at this pine and cypress, it has also withered, it's really strange here!" Bai Ling passed by a small forest where the pines and cypresses were located, and felt that the atmosphere around him was a little gloomy, and when he looked closely, he found that the branches and leaves on the pines and cypresses that had been green for thousands of years had all turned into dry colors.

With the kung fu she spoke, she subconsciously grabbed Shangguan Yu beside her.

"Well, Ling'er, look, if you look here, it used to be a stream, but now there are only traces of drying up, and the environment here must have changed a lot recently."

Shangguan Yu pointed out a long trail mixed with mud not far away to Bai Ling, and his face became serious.

"I'll go ask Miss Jin about it.

Bai Ling thought, so she took two quick steps to keep up with Jin Xiangyu, she always called Boss Jin before, after what happened last night, she found that the arrogant boss with excellent demeanor was actually just a hard-working girl, so she felt that it was more appropriate to call Miss Jin, so she automatically changed her mouth, and after calling it a few times, she felt that it was quite smooth.

"Miss Jin, when you came here before, how was the situation on this mountain different from now?"

"It's different, when I came here before, it was summer, and the mountains here are full of flowers, especially on the west side of this mountain, which is full of obsessive flowers, and at a glance the pink is the most suitable for rouge! But now, this season, I can't even see the dead branches that are obsessed with flowers......"

"The dead branches are gone?"

"Yes, Nuo, the place in front of me was originally overgrown with obsessive flowers, but now you see that there is nothing else on the ground except these weeds."

Jin Xiangyu looked at the bare land in front of her, and her tone was full of regret. She hadn't been here since she was poisoned three years ago, but before that she would come here every year to pick flowers and go back to make rouge gouache, which was called a good one.

But since she was poisoned, she has never gone up the mountain, and she has sent people to step on it, but none of the people who came up have gone back, and no one has even received the final payment.

So in the past two years, her fat powder business has become more and more difficult to do.

When Bai Ling heard Jin Xiangyu say this, he felt that something was wrong, so he asked everyone to find a clean place to rest in place first, and he followed Shangguan Yu to study the wasteland in front of him.

Bai Ling took down the hairpin on his head, carefully brushed the weeds in front of him, and then found the location of the soil and sent the hairpin inside.

The hairpin in Bai Ling's hand is relatively long, and it is silver, which is suitable to test whether the soil is poisonous. The hairpin was stained with the soil under the withered grass, and when it was taken out again, the whole body turned black.

Bai Ling expected this result, but when he really saw it, he was still a little surprised.

"Shangguan, the soil here is really poisonous, I suspect that the reason for the poisoning of the golden girl is because this land is poisoned, and the infatuated flower that was still growing back then must have been poisoned, the golden girl has been in contact with the flowers for a long time, so she was poisoned, and after that, the toxins in the soil continued to accumulate, resulting in all the flowers and branches being destroyed, so that the bare scene was formed today, even the most tenacious weeds have dried up and died, leaving only a piece of decay."

"Very likely, Ling'er, you see that the canal next to this should be connected to the stream that dried up just now, let's go and take a look."
