Chapter 173: Snake Venom

I saw the person in front of me sitting on a wooden wheelchair, his face was sickly pale, his eyes were blue, and his body was full of fatigue. He pulled the corners of his lips to smile at her, but he couldn't help but redden.

The footsteps seemed to be heavy, and Hua Mian moved towards him step by step with great difficulty. When she stood in front of him, she reached out and stroked his cheek and choked up, "How did you become like this?" ”

He slowly raised his hand to hold her hand, put it to his cheek and rubbed it, a happy smile bloomed on his face, and he slowly opened his lips and said, "I think it's worth it knowing that you care about me so much." ”

Hua Mian shook her head and shook off two lines of tears: "It's not worth it!" Nothing compares to your life and health. I shouldn't have let you go that day. ”

"Silly girl, if I don't go, you won't be able to see Ling Yue today."

Hua Mian was stunned for a moment, and said bitterly: "What happened to you?" ”

"I'll tell you." Pei Yingshi didn't know when he was already standing behind her, "He is weak and has a hard time speaking, I'll tell you what happened to us." ”

As he spoke, he walked behind Kang Muning, pushed his wheelchair and said, "Go in and talk." ”

Hua Mian didn't say anything more, and followed step by step.

The air was filled with a cold winter atmosphere, and the tall sycamores in the courtyard were blown off a lot of leaves by the wind, and the dead leaves and butterflies fluttered down like dances, hitting the flower Myanmar, cold and cold.

She went into the house and took a blanket and put it over Kang Muning, and placed rabbit fur cushions on each stone bench, and sat down next to him. Ling Yue and Ji Lingzhi took advantage of the situation and sat on the rest of the stone benches.

Pei Yingshi leaned against the plane tree and began his narration with a gesture of looking up at the sky.

After Kang Muning caught up with Pei Yingshi, he bought some necessary items in the market, and hurried to the primeval forest hidden in the mountains and away from the people day and night.

They had thought they could intercept Ling Yue before he arrived, and then make him abandon his entry into the forest. Unexpectedly, he was faster than them. Looking at the fresh footprints that meandered into the forest from the outside of the forest, although they were extremely tired, they still resolutely and resolutely walked towards the forest.

Fortunately, it had just rained in the forest, and they could follow his footprints all the way down to avoid blind collisions.

Along the way, it is necessary to be vigilant against poisonous insects and beasts, to avoid swamps, and to prevent inhalation of miasma. By the time they caught up with Ling Yue's footsteps, most of the day had passed, the sun had set, and the entire forest had sunk into darkness.

Seeing the bonfire burning in front of them, the tense nerves of the two were relaxed.

Ling Yue was surprised to see them coming, and wanted to send them out of the forest, but seeing that they were already exhausted, she had to give up. So the three of them took turns resting in a cave to recuperate.

The night was peaceful, and at dawn they continued their journey into the depths of the forest in high spirits. Luckily, they soon found a thriving fruit of forgetfulness. Fortunately, while Ling Yue uprooted the Forgetfulness Fruit, she raised her eyes and saw a Soul Condensing Grass growing next to a rock pit not far away.

He was overjoyed, and he raised his feet and walked towards the Soul Condensing Grass. Pei Yingshi stopped him and said, "Why are you going?" ”

He pointed to the Soul Condensation Grass with bright eyes and said, "That is a rare Soul Condensing Grass that is rare in a hundred years, I will pick it and give it to Feiyan." So saying, he continued on his way.

"Be careful!" It was too late to say it, and at the same time that Kang Muning's words fell, the person had already pounced on Ling Yue.

Ling Yue could see clearly that a snake flew towards them from the pit, and then opened its bloody mouth and bit Kang Muning's calf.

Although Pei Yingshi was frightened, he still reacted quickly and swung his sword to cut off the snake's head.

After seeing the snake's face clearly, Ling Yue gasped. This snake has a triangular head, four long teeth in its mouth, and its whole body is covered with white horizontal stripes, black and white, and its body is more than three feet long.

This snake generally grows in the southern tropics, but I didn't expect it to appear in the territory of Dongli, which was really a bit unexpected by Ling Yue. However, he couldn't think much about it at this moment, because the snake's poison spread very quickly, and if he wanted to save his life.

He handed a handkerchief to Kang Muning and said, "Bite it!" I have to chop off your calf to prevent the poison from spreading. As he spoke, he didn't look at him again, and swung his sword to cut it down.

Kang Muning shouted violently: "Stop! ”

Ling Yue's sword stopped in mid-air.

Kang Muning made a small incision in the red and swollen wound with a dagger in his hand, and said while letting out poisonous blood: "If I don't have this leg, I don't have any interest in living, it's better to gamble and use all the herbs that can be used around to see if I can pick up a life." ”

Ling Yue had no choice but to hand over the snake venom grass that she was carrying with her that could detoxify ordinary snake venom to Pei Yingshi, let him chew it and put it on him first, while she quickly went around looking for herbs that could detoxify. However, the strange thing is that there are no herbs that can detoxify snake venom such as the Seven Star Sword, Earth Ear Grass, Desmodium Grass, Houttuynia Cordata, Star Anise Lotus, Lobelia, and Seven Leaves and One Branch Flower in this vicinity. In desperation, he had to collect some white flowers nearby.

Pei Ying said in surprise: "Are you sure this can detoxify snake venom?" ”

Ling Yue chewed the young leaves and applied them to Kang Muning's wound: "The hot is cold, the snake venom is hot poison, these plants with white flowers are generally cold, which can be relieved." Later, when you carry him, we will slowly look for it and see if there are any antidote herbs elsewhere. ”

Ling Yue picked the Soul Condensing Grass and put it in her arms along with the Forgetful Fruit, and was about to continue walking, but a white mist suddenly rose in front of her, and the mist gradually spread until the visibility was zero one zhang away.

Ling Yue took out the compass and found that the pointer no longer had any reaction. He looked up and couldn't see which side of the foliage was thicker, he couldn't see the sun or the stars, and all methods of judging direction no longer worked.

The top priority is not only to find a way out, but also to find medicinal herbs for Kang Muning, otherwise once the toxin enters the internal organs, it will lead to organ failure and death.

With very little visibility, they cut down a large tree every time they walked, and judged the direction by the density of the rings in the north and south. While walking in one direction, you have to look around for herbs. However, two days passed, and they still found nothing, and they were finally found by the Purple Guards before they successfully walked out of the forest.

After coming out, Ling Yue immediately gave Kang Muning an antidote herb, but after two days of delay, the snake venom had slowly invaded his viscera, and his heart and kidneys had been damaged.

Although they didn't say it, Hua Mian knew that his time was running out, otherwise he wouldn't have written that letter to himself, let alone come to see her when he came to his side. She looked at Kang Muning and said silently, "Why are you so stupid? ”

Kang Muning stretched out his hand to wipe the tears on her face and said, "I promised you that you would definitely bring Ling Yue back safely, how can you break your word?" ”

Hua Mian buried her face in his hand and whimpered, "How can I repay you for treating me like this?" ”

But I heard Kang Muning say quietly: "If you want to blame, you can only blame me for my bad luck." I originally planned to come back to ask you for credit after completing this arduous task, and let you accept me, but who knew that it would end like this. ”

Hua Mian raised her head abruptly and said, "Shall we get married?" ”

Kang Muning was stunned for a moment, and he said in disbelief: "What did you say?" ”

"I said we got married! Rest well today, and we'll leave tomorrow. When we get back to Amaterasu, we'll get married. ”

Tears suddenly welled up in his eyes, and Kang Muning said in a hoarse voice: "I thought that once Ji Yunye regained his memory, you would be with him without hesitation." When I first heard you say that, I thought I was hallucinating. ”

"You don't have auditory hallucinations, and I'm telling the truth."

"Forget it about getting married, I'm afraid that others will say that you are Kefu in the future. With your words, I die without regrets. ”

Hua Mian suddenly cried bitterly: "A-Ning will not die." Aning will live to be 100 years old. I also had a serious heart disease, and now I have been cured by Ah Yue? With Ah Yue here, you will definitely recover slowly. ”

Kang Muning smiled bitterly: "I know my body. I originally planned to leave directly and never see you again, but I was unwilling, so I thought of quietly looking at you outside the Shuihua Palace before leaving, but I didn't know that I couldn't move half a step when I saw you. ”

"Then you don't have to go. Let me take care of you, okay? ”

Kang Muning looked at Hua Mian steadily, her eyes were full of sincerity, he believed that she must be sincere at this moment, and he also believed that these were her heartfelt words. After a long time, he sighed and said, "If you really can't bear me, then I won't leave." The fruit of forgetfulness has been picked, you can take it for Ji Yunye to use. ”

Hua Mian remembered this stubble at this time, and hurriedly looked at Ling Yue: "Did you tell Ziyi Wei that you went to pick the fruit of forgetfulness?" ”

Ling Yue shook her head and said, "They asked us if we had found the Soul Condensing Grass, and I immediately guessed that it should be you talking nonsense with Ji Yunye. After a pause, he said with a solemn expression, "You don't want him to know that we are going to find an antidote for him, whether you don't want him to feel guilty, or ......?"

"I don't want him to regain his memory." Hua Mian took his unfinished words.

Although her answer was as they expected, everyone was still surprised, especially Ji Lingzhi. He was surprised and said: "Success is in sight, but you have given up the low-hanging fruit, are you sure you have thought clearly?" ”

Hua Mian smiled sadly: "Since you have chosen to be with Kang Muning, why should you let Brother Ye think of me again and increase the pain?" ”

"You don't have to sacrifice so much for me."

Hua Mian looked at Kang Muning: "Haven't you been looking forward to this day?" ”

"One time, another time."

Ji Lingzhi pointed at Pei Yingshi and said, "Then what if it was Pei Yingshi who was injured?" You're the one who chose him, right? ”

Hua Mian was stunned for a moment, and looked at Pei Yingshi, who was leaning on the plane tree, with a sad expression in his expression. Yes, if it was him who was hurt, she would not hesitate to choose him. At the moment, however, she had no choice.

The answer to this question, even if Hua Mian doesn't say it, Pei Yingshi already knows it. Although he was unwilling, he still respected her choice, after all, Kang Muning's days were indeed numbered, and he might not even be able to wait for Hua Mian's child to be born.

He smiled at Hua Mian: "For the sake of him blocking the disaster for me, I'll let him go back." ”
