Chapter 128 Black Wind Ridge
Na Langzhong picked up the porcelain urn and asked Han Sanbian to bury the porcelain urn on the spot! So they dug a deep pit in the courtyard and buried the porcelain urn and the wooden basin together!
Lang Zhong packed up the medicine box and told Han Sanbian that the poison on your two brothers has been forced by me to use medicine, and your life can be saved within seven days, I will prescribe a prescription for you, one of which is not easy to find, if you are lucky enough to find this medicine, even if they save their lives, if you can't find it, then there is no way, you can only accept your fate! Han Sanbian was taken aback, took the prescription and took a look, it was written that there were some ordinary herbs, only one medicine was more special, so he took the prescription and hurried to the nearby town to grab the medicine, and ran several pharmacies in a row, all saying that there was no such medicine! When Han Sanbian heard this, his heart was even more bottomless, and he ran through several towns near and far, but he didn't find the flavored medicine! I had no choice but to go home first, and then discuss!
When I went back and told everyone, everyone was surprised, and they scratched their ears and cheeks, and no one could do anything! The owner of the house, the old man, asked Han Sanbian and said, "Guest officer, what kind of medicine is written on the Chinese medicine prescription of that Lang?" Is it that hard to find? ”。
Han Sanbian frowned and said, "There are no pharmacies for this flavor medicine he wants, what do you say about this?" ”。 After speaking, he handed the prescription prescribed by the old man to the old man, and the good man smiled, waved his hand and said: "My old man doesn't know a lot of big characters, how can I read and understand the prescription?" Or are you talking to my old man, what kind of medicine is written on this prescription? ”。
Han Sanbian was right when he thought about it, so he read the prescription to the old man from beginning to end. After listening to the prescription, the old man asked Han Sanbian and said, "Guest officer, you have more than a dozen herbs on this prescription, which herb can't be replaced?" ”。
Han Sanbian pointed to the prescription and said, "Most of the medicines on this can be bought, but only this one-taste medicine called fairy grass, there is no place to change it!" ”。
The old man listened to Han Sanbian's words, but his face showed joy, he patted his thigh and said, "Oh my mother, I thought it was some kind of medicine, but it turned out to be it!" They're saved! ”。
Han Sanbian hurriedly asked the old man, do you know where this flavor medicine is sold? The old man shook his head and said, although I don't know where this medicine is sold, I know where to pick it! When everyone heard the old man's words, they all became moved, and asked the old man where he could get this medicine called fairy grass?
The old man then told them that when he had good legs and feet a few years ago, he often went into the mountains to hunt, and once chased a sable, followed it into the Black Wind Ridge, and accidentally let the sable slip away, and was in remorse, but found that there was a fairy grass growing on the cliff wall of the Black Wind Ridge! I saw that the fairy grass was growing on the slippery cliff wall, and there was no rope on it, so I remembered the place and wanted to dig it again in the future! I didn't think about it, after I went back, he had a serious illness, and his body and bones were not as good as before, and the matter of going up the mountain to pick fairy grass was delayed, if you didn't mention the fairy grass today, my old man might have brought this secret to the coffin!
Everyone was overjoyed when they heard this, so they begged the old man to take them up the mountain to pick fairy grass! The old man was also cheerful, and immediately agreed! In the evening, the old man instructed the old woman to bake more than a dozen flatbreads, turned out the sheepskin jacket at the bottom of the cabinet pressing the box, and cleaned it properly, and then the lamp was blown out!
Early the next morning, before dawn, the old man dressed neatly and came to find Han Sanbian. Han Sanbian asked Xiaocui and Xiaowen to stay and take care of Liu Futang and Jia Laodao, and he himself put on thick clothes, followed the old man to the foot of the mountain!
The old man carried the things on the plow on his back, and asked Han Sanbian to take the rope, so he let the plow go back! Han Sanbian stood at the foot of the mountain, only to see the undulating mountains in the distance, endless! So he asked the old man, "How far is the fairy grass you always said from here?" ”。
The old man smiled and said, "It's still far away!" Do you see the mountain that is on the edge of heaven? That's Black Wind Ridge! It's going to take at least two days to get there! ”。
Han Sanbian saw that the mountain was in the far sky, the mountain peak was towering, as if it was about to pierce the dome, and the color of the mountain and the color of the sky merged into one, as if it had melted into the sky! He couldn't help but exclaim, "Oh my god, this is still going so far!" ”。
The old man smiled kindly and said, "This is not too far, when I was young, such a long distance, I could fight back and forth in two days!" ”。
The old man was talking, but his hands were not idle, he cut a small tree with a knife, trimmed the surface, cut it off from the middle, made two crutches, handed one to Han Sanbian and said: "Take it, hold it, you can save a lot of effort!" ”。
Han Sanbian took the crutch and stomped his feet, at this time the cold wind had frozen his feet! The cold wind was like a knife, "whining", passing by his side, whipping his body in a pervasive manner, he felt as if he had been stripped naked, completely exposed to the obscene power of the cold wind!
The old man slapped his face, as if he had seen something new! He was surprised and asked, "Why did you wear such shoes and go into the mountains?" Aren't you afraid of freezing your feet? ”。 The old man chattered as he took out a pair of high-waisted felt boots from the package on his back, and ordered, "Put them on quickly!" ”。
Han Sanbian was not polite, he sat on the snow, took off his original shoes, and replaced them with high-waisted felt boots! He put on his boots and was just about to stand up when he heard the old man say, "Wait a minute! ”。
Han San watched the old man pick up a handful of dry grass on the side of the road and stuff it into his boots, so he asked the old man in confusion: "Uncle, what are you doing here?" Stuffed with so much hay, what a lot of people? ”。
The old man laughed and said seriously: "Nonsense, how can this Ula grass prick people?" Tuck into your shoes and keep warm so you don't get frostbitten! ”。
The two of them were ready to stop at the foot of the mountain, and began to climb the mountain, the snow was deep and slippery, and they had to stop and rest for a while every few steps, and so they walked and stopped, and finally at noon, they crossed the first mountain beam into the mountain!
The two found a place to nest the wind, gnawed a few mouthfuls of dry food, chewed a few mouthfuls of snow, and hurried on the road again, the rest of the road was downhill, in order to save energy, the old man hugged his head, turned over and rolled down from the top of the slope, Han Sanbian looked at it, and also drew a scoop according to the gourd, and rolled down! In this way, they trekked all the way in the mountains for two days and two nights, and finally came to the foot of the Black Wind Ridge!
The reason why this Black Wind Ridge is called Black Wind Ridge is because there is a strange wind blowing on the ridge all the year round, when the wind rises, the sky and the earth are dark, and no one can be seen within three feet! They walked to the bottom of the ridge, looked up and saw that the Black Wind Ridge was towering and undulating, unattainable, Han Sanbian couldn't help but be secretly frightened, but in order to save Liu Futang and Jia Laodao's lives, he couldn't control it so much. That night, the two of them rested at the foot of the Black Wind Ridge, planning to go up the mountain early the next morning after recovering their spirits!
Unexpectedly, as soon as they slept until midnight, the weather changed suddenly, and there was a big smoke cannon blowing in the mountains! This big smoke bubble is more powerful than the white-haired wind, and people can't tell the difference between southeast and northwest at all, and it is very easy to freeze to death in the big smoke bubble! The two didn't dare to go up the mountain, and with big smoke bubbles, they touched a cave and took shelter from the wind and snow for the time being!
It wasn't until noon the next day that the big smoke bubble gradually became smaller, so the two of them got out of the cave and touched it on the Black Wind Ridge!
On this Black Wind Ridge is a cliff on one side and a broken wall on the other, the two of them wrapped the rope around their waists, and climbed up in turn, when they climbed halfway up the mountain, both of them had no strength, Han San gasped for breath while asking the old man: "I said uncle, how far do we have to get there?" ”。
The old man lifted his sheepskin jacket, wiped the beads of sweat from his face and said, "It's almost over, let's cross this mountain beam, and we'll be there!"
Han Sanbian then shook his spirits, turned over the mountain beam in front of him, the two of them lay on the mountain beam, and saw that there was a more towering cliff on the opposite side, the cliff wall was slightly tilted, as if it was about to fall down, half of the cliff was hidden in the clouds and mist, even if it was a bird, it would not want to fly over the cliff!
Han Sanbian saw that there was such a high cliff behind the mountain beam, and he suddenly sat down on the ground like a deflated ball, and his face changed greatly: "This ...... How is this possible to climb past? ”。
The old man was not depressed, he patted Han Sanbian on the shoulder and said to him, we don't have to climb over it at all, because the fairy grass we are looking for grows on top of this cliff! Han Sanbian was overjoyed, and the two of them hurriedly climbed to the bottom of the cliff, raised their heads to look up, and saw a gray patch on the top of the cliff, where is there any fairy grass?
Han Sanbian said worriedly: "Uncle, where is the fairy grass you are talking about?" It won't have withered a long time ago! ”。
The old man shook his head and said: "The fairy grass is not an ordinary thing, it is verdant all year round, especially in winter, it is even more dazzling, where will it wither?" ”。 Before the old man finished his words, he suddenly pointed to a cliff and shouted excitedly: "I found it, look at it, the fairy grass grows there!" ”。
Han Sanbian looked at it intently, and saw that on the bare rock wall, there was indeed a tender green grass, with a bright red fruit on the top, standing proudly in the wind and snow! Han Sanbian excitedly grabbed the old man's sheepskin jacket and said, "Is that fairy grass?" As long as we pick it up, we can save Liu Futang and Jia Laodao! ”。
The old man nodded with a smile and said, "That's right, that's the fairy grass written on the prescription, we just need to go up and pick it, and we can go back!" ”。
The two looked at each other and smiled, and then untied the rope on their bodies at the bottom of the cliff, hit a live buckle, lassoed a big tree next to the fairy grass, pulled the rope, and were just about to climb up, when they heard the old man suddenly shout and say: "It's not good, there is something on the top of the fairy grass!" ”。
