When Xue Rou turned around and was about to go to the courtyard to take a look, the door was opened, and then Yuan Junfeng walked out with a pale face, Xue Rou saw this, worried, and quickly stepped forward, helping him to ask while walking to the bed, "What's going on, it wasn't good before, why did you suddenly get so sick." ”

Yuan Jun didn't even have the strength to speak, but kept patting Xue Rou's shoulder with his hand, Xue Rou saw this, and became more and more anxious, "You wait, I'll go find herbs now." Xue Rou took the pulse, but his breath was too strange, judging from the pulse, there were no symptoms at all, and now Xue Rou could only look at it as a wind chill. Hopefully it can be of some use.

Xue Rou hurriedly came to the yard, Brother Wei had already gone to work in the fields, Sister-in-law Wei was sitting in the yard washing clothes, seeing her anxious face, she asked worriedly, "What's wrong?" Xue Rou wanted to find herbs, but here was flat on all sides, there were no mountains at all, where to find herbs, and thought of the medicinal herbs she brought, turned around and went back to the room. Sister-in-law Wei was worried about her, so she got up and followed, "Big sister, can you tell your sister-in-law, you are in such a hurry, but something happened." ”

"Sister-in-law, Brother Yuan is sick, but I can't see what disease he has, he looks very uncomfortable, his face is pale, and he is covered in cold sweat, like typhoid fever, but not like typhoid fever, and it is the first time I have seen such a strange disease." Xue Rou took out all the medicinal materials in the bag while saying it, and Sister-in-law Wei thought it was something and smiled to pull her hand.

"Sister-in-law, I still have to help Brother Yuan boil medicine, let's talk about it later." Xue Rou took the medicinal herbs and was about to go to the kitchen, and Sister-in-law Wei smiled more and more happily when she saw this, "Big sister, don't worry, I thought something was wrong, such a trivial matter, sister-in-law has a way, sister-in-law will help you prepare something." After Sister-in-law Wei went out, Xue Rou went to the kitchen with the medicinal herbs. After a while, Sister-in-law Wei came over with a bowl of wildflower sugar soup and handed it to Xue Rou, "Hurry up and let him drink it, I guarantee that he will get better in less than an hour." ”

"He drank this wildflower soup yesterday, isn't it an ordinary soup? Can it still be cured? Xue Rou was originally very curious about this wild flower, and now she heard that this flower can also cure diseases and save people, she became more and more curious, Sister-in-law Wei was very sure, seeing that she didn't answer, she pulled her directly to Yuan Junfeng's room, at this time, Yuan Junfeng was already so ill that she was delirious, Sister-in-law Wei helped Xue Rou let Yuan Junfeng drink the soup, "Okay, you wait here, it won't be long before he wakes up." ”

Xue Rou was half skeptical, and after Sister-in-law Wei left, she took Yuan Junfeng's hand and sat on the edge of the bed anxiously waiting, she was very conflicted now, on the one hand, she hoped that this soup could save Yuan Junfeng, but on the other hand, she hoped that this soup would not work, it could be said that heaven and man were at war in her mind, and the fight was inextricable, and time passed little by little, half an hour later, Yuan Junfeng slowly opened her eyes, and her pale face was also a little more bloody.

"Rou'er, I'm worried about you." Yuan Junfeng seems to be really well, and the whole person seems to be more energetic than before he came. Xue Rou stared at him for a long time, for a long time, and said with anxiety, "Do you know how you got better?" ”

"Didn't you boil medicine to cure me?" Yuan Junfeng didn't understand why she asked like this, isn't it normal to take medicine when she is sick, why is he so strange today. Xue Rou was so frightened that she was about to cry, in fact, there was a thought that flashed in her heart several times, but every time she was scared and quickly erased, trying to convince herself that these were definitely not true, but at this moment, she no longer had a reason to convince herself.

"It's not." Xue Rou's face became even more ugly, took Yuan Junfeng's hand, forced himself to be calm, and then said word by word, "It's those wild flowers in the village, you just drank those wild flower soup to get better, not only that, do you know, when I saw your illness, I was helpless, your pulse was strange, I have been practicing medicine for many years, what kind of disease has not been seen, but this time, I can't see anything, helpless." ”

"You...... You are...... You mean......" Although Yuan Junfeng didn't know what Xue Rou was thinking, he also heard that something was wrong, he fought on the battlefield, and he had never seen any conspiracy and tricks, but for the first time, he was also puzzled. "Rou'er, what did you find?"

"Brother Yuan, if I guess correctly, this wildflower is both a poison and an antidote, you have today's symptoms because you drank wildflower soup yesterday, and now you are getting better because of wildflower soup, but if that's the case......" Xue Rou couldn't stop trembling when she thought of the people in this village, thinking that they were skinny and dying early, and even thinking that they might have to stay here for the rest of their lives.

"You mean, we might not be able to leave here in the future." Yuan Junfeng hit the nail on the head. Xue Rou didn't want to admit it, but she also had to face the reality, "If we can't find the antidote, we have to stay here." But the people of Huaxi Village have lived here for generations, and if there was an antidote, they would have discovered it a long time ago, so how could they wait until now. ”

Xue Rou stood up a little decadently, turned her head to look out the window, the sun was dazzling, Xue Rou obviously liked the sun the most, but now she felt that he was particularly dazzling.

"Rou'er, things haven't reached the worst yet, don't be too anxious, trust me, we will definitely be able to figure out a way." Yuan Junfeng got out of bed, got dressed, and pulled Xue Rou out, Xue Rou was worried about her body, and subconsciously refused, "Your body is still very weak, let's wait." ”

"Didn't you say that I am poisoned now, if I don't find the antidote as soon as possible, the toxin will only get deeper and deeper, and when the time comes, even if I find the antidote, I may not be able to detoxify. Let's hurry up. Yuan Junfeng took Xue Rou directly to the village chief's house, the village chief heard that there were two young people in the village early in the morning, and originally wanted to find a time to meet, but he didn't expect them to come to the door by themselves.

Xue Rou brought some medicinal herbs and pastries, the village chief originally just wanted to walk around, but when he saw the gift, the smile in his eyes was a little more satisfied, "I heard that the two of them came from the capital, speaking of which, although our Huaxi Village is not far from the capital, the village is far from many people who have never even been to the town in their lives, let alone the capital." I heard that the capital is very prosperous and beautiful, but is it true? ”

"Huaxi Village is as good as Huaxi Village, and Beijing is as good as Beijing. The beauty of the two cannot be compared. Yuan Junfeng smiled, and did not praise anyone, belittle, who. When the village chief heard this, he was secretly satisfied, "In the end, he is from the capital, and what he says and does is different." The two of them seem to have good identities, and they don't know how many days they will stay in Huaxi Village and when they will leave. Let's have a light meal at our house at noon. It's all coarse tea and light rice, don't mind. ”

"Village chief, let's talk about the meal later, there is one thing I want to ask the village chief." They came in just now and carefully looked at the people of the village chief's family, and found that the people of the village chief's family were all very normal, and the villagers of Huaxi Village were simply people of two worlds, thinking that it was because they did not eat this wild flower. However, he is the head of the village, how can he take the lead in not eating things that are kind to their village, and if he does this, he is not afraid that the villagers will not be dissatisfied?

"If you have any questions, just ask, although I am the village chief, I don't have as much knowledge as the son. If I don't know what Childe asked, Childe shouldn't laugh at it. "Although the village chief likes to take advantage of small advantages, he has a really good temperament, and what to say, Dao makes them feel more comfortable.

"We heard that the wildflowers that can be seen everywhere in the village are very kind to the village, and almost everyone in the whole village has to eat wildflower soup every day, but the village chief's family is not the only one, can the village chief explain why?" After Yuan Junfeng finished speaking, the village chief subconsciously glanced at them, and then said with a smile, "Although this flower is kind to the village, it is not necessarily a reward for eating, on the contrary, I think such a beautiful flower grows in the field, and it is also excellent to look at it every day." Childe thinks so. ”

Yuan Junfeng saw that the village chief knew something, so he didn't tell the truth, but deliberately covered it up. Could it be that the village chief already knew that these wildflowers were poison, but he knew why he didn't say it, they were all from the same village, and he knew that the wildflowers were poisonous, but he had to watch the villagers die early one by one, was he too selfish?

Xue Rou also thought so, and glanced around, it was worthy of the village chief's house, living in the only brick house in the village, and even the furnishings in the house were extremely exquisite, although it was not worth much, but it must be the best in Huaxi Village. "The village chief must not be telling the truth. If the village chief doesn't want us to tell the matter, please tell the village chief the truth, otherwise, we can only see the government. ”

"Official? This is our Huaxi Village's matter, why should we alarm the government. Besides, these wildflowers all grow in the fields, and it is our freedom to eat them and who is not good, so it has to do with the government. Am I guilty if I don't eat me? Who the hell are you? The village chief put away his smile and looked at them coldly.

"It's true that you don't eat it, and it's not guilty, but you know that there is something wrong with these wildflowers, and even the reason why the whole village is skinny and even died early, but you, as the village chief, keep your mouth shut, and only know that you protect yourself, this is guilty,"

"This ......" the village chief sighed a little aggrieved, holding his head in his hands, and looked out the window weakly, "Do you really think that I want to do this, do you really think that I didn't do anything when I knew this secret?" No, I did everything, even taking the life of my eldest family, but in the end they didn't believe it. What else can I do, is it because I found out the truth first, that I'm going to take the lives of my whole family? ”
