"What's weird?" The master looked at his arm, and saw that there was a white cloth wrapped around his arm, and there was a circle of fresh blood under the white cloth, and the wound seemed to have just been treated by Xiao Laodao.

Xiao Laodao showed a self-deprecating smile at this time, and said: "We have encountered all kinds of strange things along the way, but this strange thing is the first time to ......" Then, Xiao Laodao told my grandfather in detail: "I took the ninth and eleventh days of the first month, according to the place where the monkey said, first found the stream, and then went downstream along the stream, and after walking for a while, the fog started, the fog was not big, and then went further, the fog became bigger and bigger, and finally, even our own hands could not be seen...... Just when we were in a dilemma, a gust of wind blew from nowhere, the fog in front of us dispersed, a path appeared in the fog, and there was nothing to see elsewhere, and I could see clearly on this road, I didn't understand what was going on, and I wanted to go back, but the way back was all sealed by the fog, and in the end, I could only go along the road, I wanted to see where I could go along the road. Speaking of this, Xiao Laodao stopped and asked my grandfather, "Brother, do you guess what we found along the road?" ”

The master shook his head and asked, "What did you find?" ”

Xiao Laodao suddenly smiled, "What else can I find, I found you, the road in the fog is gone to you, you passed out under a big tree, the three of us hurried over and helped you up from the ground, I asked Chu Jiu to carry you on his back, at this time, the evil door came again, just Chu Jiu just carried you to his body, before he left, the big white fog that he couldn't see his five fingers, and the kung fu was exhausted in the blink of an eye, and then we found that around you, there were dozens of barbarian corpses lying horizontally and vertically, I looked at the wounds on those corpses, and none of them were stabbed to death by your short sword, and, judging by their deaths, they must have died of cannibalism. ”

When the master heard this, he showed a stunned face and asked, "What the hell is going on?" ”

Xiao Laodao said: "Where do I know what's going on, I still want to ask you." As he spoke, Xiao Laodao paused for a moment, and then said: "Those fogs are nothing, but the path in the fog is a little strange, is it difficult to ...... Is the person next to you helping you? ”

Xiao Laodao said this, before the master didn't say anything, the door opened, and the showgirl walked in from outside, and the showgirl saw the master sitting up on the bed, she was stunned at first, and then jumped up happily, "Brother Bingshou, you finally woke up, and you have been asleep for two days!" ”

"Two days?" The master was stunned for a moment, turned his head to look at Xiao Laodao, Xiao Laodao seemed to understand what the master meant, nodded and said: "You have indeed been in a coma for two days, and we carried you on the mountain road for a day and a night, and then we found this small village." The poison in you is different from Miss Lan'er's, fortunately, it was discovered early, otherwise it would not have been saved, just like that, I tried a variety of herbs, plus cutting carrion and squeezing poisonous blood, and then the poison was pulled out. Saying that, Xiao Laodao actually sighed inexplicably, "It's a pity that those barbarians are all dead, otherwise if you leave one or two alive, you might be able to ask for some recipes from their mouths." ”

When the showgirl heard this, she immediately showed a look of displeasure, because she also suffered from the barbarian poison, and the showgirl said, "What do you want the formula of those poisons for, do you want to poison others?" ”

Xiao Laodao glanced at the showman, and said: "Don't you see, there are a lot of mosquitoes, insects, rats and ants in this mountain forest, but their barbarians are naked, if it weren't for the medicine on their bodies, they wouldn't have to give it to those mosquitoes, if we can get that kind of medicine......" Xiao Laodao then waved his hand, "Forget it, don't talk about this, anyway, those barbarians are already dead." ”

When the master heard this, he hurriedly asked, "Are those children in the barbarian camp also dead?" ”

"Kid? What child? ”

The master said: "There are more than ten children in the barbarian camp, the oldest is five or six years old, the youngest is one or two years old, my arm was stabbed by a child, at that time I thought they were just a group of children, defenseless at all. ”

Hearing this, Xiao Laodao pondered for a moment and said, "After we found you, we went to the barbarian camp again, and we didn't see any children except for some ashes and a few corpses. ”

The master said, "When you go, maybe they have already hidden. ”

When Xiao Laodao heard this, he frowned slightly, "If these children can survive smoothly, I am afraid that it will be another disaster in ......the future."

As for whether those barbarian children survived, and whether they will form a tribe again in the future, the master does not know.

As for why the barbarians killed each other, the master later speculated that it should be done by those human-headed ghosts in the cave, when the barbarians were tired and tired in order to chase themselves, their physical strength declined, and their yang energy weakened, and in the dense mountains and forests, they undoubtedly gave those ghosts an opportunity, and the ghosts attached themselves to several barbarians, causing a cannibalism, which can be regarded as avenging themselves.

As for the fog that Xiao Lao Dao encountered them, maybe it was also done by the ghosts, maybe, just maybe, maybe those ghosts wanted to protect the master, so they used the fog to block all the surroundings, so that no matter whether it was a man or a beast, there was no way to pose a threat to the master.

When Xiao Lao Dao's master and apprentice came to look for the master, the mist automatically made way for them, which was equivalent to leading them to find the master. The master thought at the time that this was also done by those ghosts, deliberately letting Xiao Laodao's master and apprentice find him, however, this matter was not what the master imagined, as for what it was, it will be written later.

At this point, the human-headed ghost and barbarian incident is over.

Because the grandfather and the girl were injured, especially the grandfather, the cruelty in his body was not cleared, so everyone had to stay in the village for repair.

For the grandfather, this is a village, in the words of their locals, this is a village, larger than the previous villages, from the place where the grandfather encountered the barbarians about dozens of miles, belonging to a Shu village next to the mountain, there are mountains and rivers around the village, the geographical location is very good. In the vicinity of this village, there are several villages, according to the people in the village, if you go further south, there is a bigger village, that is, the people outside the mountain called Zhendian.

However, the Shu people have a common problem, they are particularly bold to their own people, but they are extremely resistant and even hostile to outsiders, perhaps because they are attached to the peace and comfort of the deep mountains and do not want to be disturbed by outsiders.

The people in this village are obviously much more enlightened, and when they saw that my grandfather was seriously injured and unconscious, and the girl was wounded by an arrow, they took the initiative to vacate two bamboo houses and gave them a few people to live temporarily.

In the past few days of cultivation in the village, Xiao Laodao has nothing to do, in addition to bringing Lao Yao Fan and Xiao Chujiu to explore the tomb everywhere, he also gave Xiao Shiyi, who was left to take care of my grandfather and the girl who was an artist, a task, that is, to thoroughly count all the items in the baggage.

In the previous battle with the barbarians, he didn't care about protecting the treasures in the baggage, Xiao Laodao was afraid that there were damaged treasures in the baggage, and those gold, silver and jewelry, if they were broken or deformed, they would be worthless.

After Xiao Laodao finished explaining, he left again with Lao Yaofan and Xiao Chujiu, and when they came back, Xiao Shiyi had already counted all the belongings.

At this time, Xiao Shiyi gestured to Xiao Laodao and said: The other objects are intact, but they are ...... One of those rhizomes picked up from the Rehmannia Valley is missing.

Xiao Laodao looked puzzled, and asked Xiao Shiyi, "Why is there one less?" ”

Xiao Shiyi shook his head and replied with a gesture: Maybe I lost it when I was fighting with the barbarians.

Xiao Laodao licked his lips, then waved his hand, showing a look of indifference, and said, "If it's less, it's less, and it's not something valuable." Immediately, Xiao Laodao was stunned for a moment and asked Xiao Shiyi, "Is that cane still there?" ”

Xiao Shiyi nodded and gestured: It's still there.

Xiao Laodao breathed a sigh of relief and said: "Then it's okay, it's okay if you lose all those foxglove, as long as the cane is still there, the cane is a baby!" "No one cares about this rehmannia thing.

After a few days, the injuries of the master and the girl were almost healed, and there was no need to stay in the stockade anymore, so a few people packed their luggage, left some silver taels in the stockade, and left the stockade to continue south.

This time, Xiao Laodao's goal is to go to the big village in the south, stay in the big village for a day, prepare enough application items and dry food, and then go to drill those deep mountains and old forests.

However, what everyone didn't expect was that the big village in the south was quite far away, and after walking for a day, everyone didn't see any village, at this time, the sky gradually darkened, the mountain road was rugged and difficult to walk, and it was hard to walk during the day, and there was no way to go when it was dark.

Looking at the front and back, there was no village in front of him and no shop in the back, Xiao Laodao had no choice but to greet everyone and spend the night in a forest on the side of the mountain road.

And the night drew dark, and they all ate and drank, and went to sleep. These days, the grandfather has not slept very well, every night as soon as he closes his eyes and dreams, in the dream is always the barbarian child, holding a bamboo knife to pierce himself, the grandfather raised his hand to push the child, and woke up from the dream.

When he opened his eyes, through the gaps in the leaves, he vaguely saw the shining stars in the sky, and at the same time, there was a slight sound in his ears, and the master was suddenly alert, and turned his head to look at the place where the sound came out, but there was nothing, but the big burden around Xiao Chujiu seemed to have been opened.

The grandfather clearly remembered that the burden was tied before going to bed, who opened it, the grandfather quickly sat up from the cover, took a closer look, the big burden was indeed beaten, and looked around, quietly and there was no abnormality.

The master woke up Xiao Laodao and several people, everyone lit a torch and checked the open baggage, Xiao Shiyi looked at it, and gestured to Xiao Laodao: nothing else was lost, and there was one less rehmannia ......
