Chapter 33: The Man in the Cage
Yan Xi had never encountered this situation before, and now she didn't know how to recuperate, and she didn't even know what medicine to use.
This is a big problem, but she has to adjust her body in the shortest possible time, but I don't know if the Medicine King Valley will send pursuers to hunt her down.
Thinking of the Medicine King Valley, Yan Xi suddenly thought of something, yes, all the ten miles and eight towns here are blessed by the Medicine King Valley, it stands to reason that this situation should not occur, thinking of this, she asked Zheng Ye: "Your village should be very close to the Medicine King Valley, but why?" ”
Although Yan Xi didn't finish the next words, Zheng Ye was not stupid when he got there, and he understood what Yan Xi wanted to say.
He sighed deeply: "If the Medicine King Valley could be cured, there wouldn't be so many people dead in the village, they wouldn't have ignored us for a long time." ”
What the?
As soon as these words came out, Yan Xi couldn't help but exclaim in his heart.
Although there are many sanctimonious hypocrites in the Medicine King Valley, but their medical skills are also recognized by the people of the world, not to mention, there are many elixirs in the Medicine King Valley, if even the Medicine King Valley can't be cured, then what kind of disease are the villagers of Zhengjia Village suffering from?
Yan Xi became more and more curious, even if it was sick, there should be a source, this matter must not be so simple.
In fact, she is not a nosy person, but now that she is weak, and she doesn't know if there are still chasers in the Medicine King Valley, rather than running around aimlessly by herself, it is better to see what is going on in this village.
A group of them, chatting all the way and looking all the way, even searched for a whole day, in a blink of an eye the sky was getting late, and there were more dense leaves in the forest, and it didn't take long for the sky to completely darken.
"Let's rest here for the night, and then we will continue to look for medicine tomorrow morning." The village chief's voice came from the front of the line, and several people put down the medicine basket on their backs one after another.
Zheng Ye also slowly helped Yan Xi to a tree and let her sit under the tree.
As soon as he put down the medicine basket on his back, the little silver fox immediately rushed out of it and ran to Yan Xi's side.
Zheng Yexu looked at it strangely, touched his head and smiled: "This little white fox is not common." ”
Yan Xi stroked the head of the silver fox, looked at Zheng Ye and said with a smile: "Yes, this little fox depends on me for life or death, and I can't help it." ”
The little silver fox seemed to be a little unhappy when he heard this, but because of his noble status, he could only turn his head away in protest.
It's Zheng Ye, Yan Xi laughed at him stupidly, he would only touch his head and giggle in place.
The interaction between the two was fully seen by the Doctor Liu on the side, he narrowed his greedy eyes, Zheng Ye, this kid is a good blessing, such a good girl, he actually let him help all the way, if he asked Doctor Liu to help... Hey...
Doctor Liu subconsciously glanced at Yan Xi's chest and waist again, the best, the best.
Yan Xi naturally felt the squinting gaze not far away, but because she was unable to move now, otherwise she would definitely go up to teach him how to behave.
But she still felt strange, this Liu Divine Doctor behaved so badly, why did the people of this Zheng family Zhuang respect him so much, it seemed that he should have some real skills.
After thinking about it, Zheng Ye had already lit a fire in the middle of the clearing, and ten people sat around the fire and happened to sit in a circle.
The bamboo cage was also set aside at the moment.
Since the thing inside roared today, it no longer made a sound, and Yan Xi was still curious about the cage.
Although there was only one low roar today, it did not prevent Yan Xi from hearing it clearly, it was clearly a human voice.
Why put a person in a cage?
"Let's rest in peace, everyone, and a few of us who are strong and strong take turns keeping vigil." Zheng Ye stood by the fire and said this, and then he pointed to the other four men and said, "I will guard first, Zheng Qiang and Zheng Li you are behind me, and Brother Zheng and Second Brother Zheng will be the last, is it okay?" ”
Although Zheng Ye is easy to be shy, he has never been ambiguous in business, and at this moment he is like a leader, arranging everyone's duties.
Yan Xi looked at Zheng Ye who was standing by the fire, her eyes showed a hint of appreciation, she rarely felt that a man was not bad, but Zheng Ye made her feel that he was a very good man.
Even the village chief couldn't help but smile and nodded, if the position of the village chief was to choose an heir, then Zheng Ye was undoubtedly the best choice.
The full moon hung high, the moon was bright and the stars were scarce, and everyone fell asleep one after another by sitting on the trunk of the tree, only one person's narrow eyes stared at Zheng Ye's back, revealing a trace of cruel light.
Zheng Ye is the first person to keep vigil, this forest is relatively close to the Valley of the Medicine King, so there are no fierce beasts on weekdays, the vigil is just to let everyone sleep at ease, plus today he took Yan Xi to walk all day, Rao is him, and he is also a little tired at the moment.
Zheng Ye let out a long yawn,
Therefore, he didn't notice that Yan Xi, who was supposed to be asleep, slowly opened her eyes at this moment.
Yan Xi hadn't slept all the time, she wanted to see what was in the cage.
So when Zheng Ye assigned the task just now, she listened attentively, Zheng Ye was the first to keep vigil alone, and one person was always more negligent than two people, so she just waited for Zheng Ye's sleepiness to strike, so that she could find an opportunity to find out.
After Zheng Ye finished yawning, he leaned down the trunk of the tree behind him, and a pair of eyelids gradually became heavy, seeing that his eyes were about to be completely closed.
Yan Xi didn't move, just waiting for the moment when Zheng Ye fell asleep completely.
At this moment, Zheng Ye's head leaning against the trunk of the tree slid weakly, and there were even bursts of shouts from his mouth.
It was now, Yan Xi tiptoed up and walked gently to the side of the bamboo cage.
The two teenagers who carried the bamboo cage during the day were already asleep at this time, and they smacked their lips and turned over.
As soon as Yan Xi approached the bamboo cage, he could smell a strange smell coming, like a dead person, with a hint of anger.
She found a gap and gently removed the straw that was plugged into the gap, and this hole was enough.
Yan Xi slowly approached the hole she opened by the moonlight, and a pair of eyebrows slowly tufted, black, and she couldn't see anything clearly.
Zheng Ye over there seemed to be waking up, Yan Xi looked back nervously, and was about to plug the hole again, but when she turned her head again, a pair of bloodshot eyes were staring at her.
Yan Xi couldn't help but gasp, the one locked in the bamboo cage was a person!
It's obviously a pair of human eyes, but it's as fierce as a wolf.
Yan Xi calmed down after a brief moment of surprise.
This kind of look, she has only seen in animals, a person with a mind and humanity, no matter what, will not have this kind of look.
Yan Xi didn't dare to act rashly at the moment, she originally wanted to use straw to plug the hole again, but at this moment, she was staring at it with those eyes, and she didn't dare to move!
This feeling of being controlled by others is really uncomfortable.
Yan Xi's palms were already sweating, and she moved her body backwards little by little, and the eyes in the bamboo cage followed her closely.
Suddenly, the bloodshot eyes blinked, and seemed to regain clarity in an instant, and the bloodshot suddenly subsided, and there was more pain in those eyes.
Yan Xi looked at this kind of change, and couldn't help but feel surprised, what is the situation? Split personality?
At this moment, there was a cry of pain from the bamboo cage, which was originally just a low voice, but after a while, the "person" in the bamboo cage began to roar in pain again, and even kept hitting the bamboo cage with his body.
At this moment, everyone had been awakened, and hurriedly ran to the bamboo cage, they looked at Yan Xi, who was sitting not far from the bamboo cage, and already knew what was going on, but they didn't care, they just hurriedly stepped forward to hold down the bamboo cage.
Fortunately, the man in the bamboo cage did not completely lose his mind, and after a while, he was already quiet.
Seeing this, Doctor Liu screamed: "Oh, now he can't be stimulated, hurry up, take care of him!" ”
The two teenagers carrying the bamboo cage were guarding one by one at the moment.
The old village chief sighed lowly: "It's more serious than yesterday, we will definitely find the magic medicine tomorrow." ”
For some reason, Yan Xi looked at the scene where everyone bowed their heads and was silent, and suddenly felt a little sad, probably they carried the hope of the entire village, and everyone was looking forward to them going back to find the miracle medicine.
"I don't know what kind of medicine the village chief is looking for?" Speaking of this, Yan Xi paused, and continued as if embarrassed: "It's not a secret, I used to be a maid in the Medicine King Valley, so I still know a lot of pharmacological knowledge, the village chief might as well say it, maybe I can help you." ”
"This ......"
Yan Xi's words were extremely sincere, and after the old village chief heard it, he still looked a little hesitant, he lowered his head and didn't know what he was thinking.
"I wonder what the village chief has to worry about?" Yan Xi asked puzzled, she really didn't know what the village chief was worried about, logically speaking, such a big matter in their village should already be known to everyone, could they still want to block the news?
After a long time, the old village chief sighed as if he had made up his mind: "Alas... Well, the old man doesn't want to tell you, he doesn't want you to get involved in this strange disease in our village, if you really find the medicine, then naturally everyone is happy, this strange disease is strange, good people become living corpses, the six relatives don't recognize it, and it will be transmitted to others, we are afraid that we are cursed by some kind... Ahem, ahem..."
The village chief seemed to be a little excited, and his voice was slightly louder: "If you can't find the medicine, but you are contaminated with this curse, then you are evil!" So we generally don't interact with outsiders, and yesterday I really couldn't bear to let you lie in this dense forest with a girl's family, so I rescued it. ”
Yan Xi nodded slightly, a living corpse? She couldn't help but think of all the zombie movies she had watched before, is there any salvation here.....
But since they couldn't even find the source, how did they know that the medicinal herbs they were looking for could cure this strange disease?
